[Tabitha Draughon]

On Sunday races, we only run the Warren Engines sponsored Dash for Cash. Mr. Dan Fletcher won this & was eligible for the 1st round bye run but to no surprise at all, he didn't get it. If y'all know The Fletcher's, they never receive a "true" bye run. Dan had a .0426 RT, ran a 7.1209 at 93.46 mph on his 7.12 dial. A random tech card was pulled on Sunday evening for the Half Moon Marketplace "Act of Giving Back" award with Tanner Hiatt being awarded a $35.00 Visa gift card. Just like on Saturday, we had 2 cars suffer breakage so we had 32 cars make the first round call. Dawson Pauley, new to class racing this year rolled into Rockingham Dragway Sunday morning to attend his first CCRA race event. Although he pulled into the staging lanes wrong, he still left with alittle cash as he was the Victory Lane Golf Carts 1st Round Best Losing Package winner. He was dialed a 8.18, had a .0364 RT, & ran dead on 8.1897 at 78.91 mph for the loss. We hope to see you at another one of our events very soon Dawson. Mr. Jim Morgan was the Ford's Fuel and Propane/ Renegade Race Fuels & Lubricants 2nd Round Best Losing Package in which he earned himself a 5 gallon pail of PRO 112+ racing fuel. He was dialed a 6.70, had a .0315 RT & ran a 6.7878 at 95.77 mph. Current points leader coming into the weekend, Mr. Charlie Wisecarver redeemed himself from his Saturday 1st round red light & found himself in the semi-finals along with Kelly Morris, Blake Hickman, & Lee Truell. Unfortunately Wisecarver & Morris loss that round. Blake Hickman & Lee Truell found themselves in the finals of Sunday's race. Lee decided to cut Blake's head off at the hit with his .0008 RT & carrying that on to his first win of the 2024 CCRA season. Lee ran a 6.1133 at 110.95 on his 6.10 dial. Blake was dialed a 7.31, had a .0411 RT, & broke out running a 7.3096 at 86.26 mph. For the 5th time of the 2024 season, GBM Land & Construction title sponsorship allowed us to pay $2000.00 to the race winner. Truell also received a $100.00 gift certificate from Altronics Inc, a can of FOGGIT, an E3 Ignition certificate for a set of spark plugs, a 50% off one item from Zamp Racing, $100.00 gift certificate from COMP Cams, $100.00 gift certificate from Edelbrock Performance, & a 5 gallon pail of Fuel Factory F12 racing fuel. Lee was also the winner of the Dunn Logging Company Paul Bunyan/Best RT for his .0008 RT in the finals & the Wayside Landscapes & Supply Bounty Hunter award for taking out Saturday's runner-up, Tanner Hiatt after Terry Taylor wasn't in attendance on Sunday. Let's just say that Lee (Jamie) left with a few envelopes! Blake left with his race winnings as well as a $50.00 gift certificate from Meziere Enterprises, a certificate from E3 Ignition for a set of spark plugs, $50.00 gift certificate from Edelbrock Performance, $50.00 gift certificate from COMP Cams, & 5 gallons of F8 racing fuel courtesy of Fuel Factory. Keith Alexander suffered some engine failure & was awarded the McLawhorn Racing Hard Luck Award. Jake Melton was chosen for the Wisecarver Brothers Racing Sportsmanship award for his help to several fellow racers over the weekend. Blake Hickman received the Performance Sealing and Striping Best Winning Package for his round #3 win. Blake had a .0036 RT, ran a 7.3182 at 90.71 mph on his 7.31 dial. Brian Oakes got the Gutters by Design/Worst RT for his .1975 RT during round #1.

The CCRA team, Leigh Anne Flynt, Dave Ley, Gloria Ley, & myself would like to say THANK YOU to the racers & crew members for a great weekend at Rockingham Dragway. This series wouldn't be successful without the support of all of y'all. Although CCRA is off until August (unless the rescheduled Sunday KDS Motorsports race is put on schedule), there is still quite a bit of racing in between that we want to wish our racers good luck at. The NHRA National event is coming up at the beautiful Bristol Dragway, then the NHRA Southeast Division 2 race at GALOT Motorsports Park, Clemmons Concrete Stick Shift Nationals, & the National event at Virginia Motorsports Park just to name a few.

See y'all at the track very soon!!!
