  2. Shifting Gears for 2012

    January 13, 2012 by Winstead

    After a mildly successful season both racing Modifieds (99) part-time and their Late Model Stock Car (00), the Winstead Motorsports Crew is making a move. During 2011, the 99 and 00 cars had consistent finishes which resulted in 2 wins, 2 second place runs and many more top 5 and top 10 runs. While running two different type cars in at several different tracks was challenging, the Team is making the move to the NASCAR Whelan Southern Modified Tour. We are looking forward to the change in Venues and Competition. The Winstead Motorsports crew has decided to forgo their normal beginning of the year racing adventure to Speedweeks at New Smyrna Speedway in FL in order to complete the building on their Troyer Modified…..stay tuned!

    Midlothian, VA. — August 6, 2011

    Subject: Southside Speedway Results from August 5, 2011

    The largest field of cars this season, in both the Late Model and GrandStock divisions, highlighted a great night of racing at Southside Speedway on Friday. Nineteen Late Models took the green flag for the first of two 50 lappers and Chris Dodson came from his
    sixth place starting position to hold off Eddie Johnson to take the checkered. Dodson had the
    race under control, but a late caution and the cone restart put Eddie Johnson beside of Dodson for
    the green, white, checkered restart. Dodson was able to hold for the win, followed by Johnson,
    Brad Davis, Jeff Oakley and Raymond Pittman. Winstead in the Golden Eagle Energy Chevy was running as high as 4th until a right front flat ended the teams run prematurely.

    Race #2:
    After Dodson drew a 7 for the redraw in race two, Jeff Oakley took advantage and picked up
    his second win of the season in the second 50 lap race for the Late Models. He was followed by
    Eddie Johnson, Chris Dodson, A.J. Winstead and Mike Kersey.

    Fifteen Grand Stocks were on hand and Austin Dodge also picked up his second win of the
    season. Dodge drove his Chevy ahead of Bobby Curtis, J.D. Eversole, Todd Ruggles and Woody
    Ellington.
