Click here to return to Raceway's home page! Raceway Magazine made it's first trip ever to Dog Hollow Speedway. Very nice track! We'll be back whenever we can. It was great seeing Dave Kitty, Terry Wetstone, and Derek Bobik at their Friday night home. And the racing was pretty danged good. It was the 300th World of Outlaws Late Model event since the series restarted in 2004 and was a good race. The evening moved along well and we left just after 10 PM. The race ran from green to checkers with no cautions and there was plenty of passing throughout. Thanks to Dog Hollow and the World of Outlaws Late Model Series for a good evening of racing!
Here are some photos from Jay Pees.
The pits were a busy place all evening
Later in the evening it was apparent that Darrell Lanigan got the setup right!
A near-full house was on hand for the racing which included a FASTRAK regional event won by Joe Martin. There will be a separate gallery posted on that event later.
