Screven Motor Speedway
Fastrak Series Southern Region Opener

What a night it was! With 32 of the South’s best Crate Late Model

Friday night practice got underway as the Track Owner James “Redd”
Griffith worked diligently to get the track packed in as the Speedway
had seen 5 inches of rain the night before. New clay and not having a
race on it proved to be a lot of work for “Redd” but this guy never
stops. 12 cars were on hand for Friday night practice.
Saturday lunch was a low country boil free for Press, Officials,
Drivers, Crews and families. Now this was good eatin” as we say in the
South. Everyone gathered at the Press Area as people anticipated the
nights events.
Saturday night came and 32 cars were on hand for the season opener. Cars
from NC,SC,FL and GA were there for the first ever “Topless” race. The
