Having a big crate late model race down at Bulls Gap this weekend. $5000 to win tonight's feature, $15000 to win tomorrow night. A bunch of the WoO and Lucas Oil guys are racing including Jimmy Owens, Chris Madden, Ricky Weiss and Brandon Overton. My cousin will also be in the field... looking forward to see how he performs against some stiff competition.

Yep, my cousin, Tyler Arrington was leading the B-main tonight and broke while leading. Weiss won Friday night's feature and broke tonight finishing last I believe. Owens was the class of the field tonight.

looking at Twitter and Race Monitor, looks like Dale Jr done got the bug again & decided to run some laps at Florence in a Late Model Stock

also speaking of high profile drivers going back to the short tracks (while not fully related to this discussion), sounds like Shane Van Gisbergen tested a Midget yesterday as well over in New Zealand

This is the greatest photo from last week's action at the Gap. Travis Fultz is the driver here. He didn't flip and actually finished his qualifying run.

Southside Speedway is closing down, permanently.
This hits me pretty hard. I've spent a lot of time there.

The release posted on their website, http://southsidespeedway.net, can be found below.

Spoiler:
We wanted to write to you all directly, so that you can hear in our words the plans we have for the future of Southside Speedway.

When Covid began to affect us here in Central Virginia, we were just days away from beginning our 2020 season. With cautious optimism we held off cancelling our season. Ever-hopeful that the numbers would improve, the safety advisories would be favorable and that all would feel safe returning to race in the 61st season of Southside Speedway. That was not to be, and for the first time in over 60 years, there was no racing to be had.

After much discussion, work, and prayer, we have decided that Southside Speedway’s time has come to an end. Please know that this was not a quick or an easy decision, and that we grieve along with you. The pandemic proved to be more than we could overcome, and rather than continue to keep you all in limbo, we have made the decision to close our gates.

To our staff, our dear friends. Thank you. Thank you for sharing your talents and your love of racing with all of us. For mentoring generations of racing enthusiasts, and for sharing so much of your precious time with us, we will forever be grateful. We could never have asked for more.

To our drivers, owners and crews, we love and appreciate you. Thank you for showing up! You are all such a talented group of competitors. We hope that the cheers from your fans and the trophies in your shops will bring you joy for years to come. We have loved cheering for you, and seeing your successes. You showed us all what racing is supposed to look like. We will be rooting for you, as you find new places to race, and we hope that your time at the toughest short track in the south has left its mark on your heart.

To our fans. There wouldn’t be a Southside Speedway if it weren’t for y’all. In 1957, when the land was purchased with the intent to develop a community, the fans pleaded for it to remain a race track. The fans showed up, supported, and cheered each week. You brought your families, and then they brought theirs. Generations have grown up on Friday night racing. We will miss you all so much, and truly hope that you find new traditions and new ways to spend those Friday nights with your families.

For generations, there has been Southside Speedway. We are grateful that you were a part of its story.

This one really sucks :(

Can't pin it fully on Covid though, as the attendance has slowly dwindled over time. Covid was just the final nail.

I've been posting a lot of old races to my YouTube channel. With the closure of Southside Speedway I pulled this Late Model race out of the archives. It was one of the wildest nights at the track I can remember.
