Mother Nature Pushes Swainsboro Southern Nationals Showdown to Wednesday, July 21

(SWAINSBORO, GEORGIA) Night four of the Southern Nationals Series was unfortunately washed out tonight at the Swainsboro Raceway in Swainsboro, Georgia. Seventeen of the twenty-eight competitors that signed in for the $5,300 to win event had taken time during the qualifying session before Mother Nature reared her ugly head. The program has been rescheduled for Wednesday evening, July 21 and the mid-week race will still pay $5,300 to the winner. All rain-checks from tonight will be honored at Swainsboro next Wednesday and entry fees will be good for any future Southern Nationals show this year.

Before the rain hit, Ivedent Lloyd, of Ocala, Florida, had laid down the fastest lap during time trials, as he toured the Peachtree State venue in 14.228 seconds. His time will not stand; however, as a complete new program will take place on July 21. Below is a list of the twenty-eight drivers that were on hand tonight at Swainsboro:
Vic Hill, Tommy Kerr, Mike Collins, Chesley Dixon, Casey Barrow, Brian Nuttall, Jr., Ivedent Lloyd, Jonathan Davenport, Chris Ferguson, John Pursley, Jr., Clint Smith, G.R. Smith, Mike Akeson, Tony Knowles, Jeremy Faircloth, Ben Faircloth, Brent Dixon, Donald Bradsher, Mitch Fulford, Brian Booze, Casey Roberts, John Henderson, Brian Reese, Jeff Smith, Jimmy Ivester, Kenny Compton, Jr., Ethan Hunter, Tommy Gandy.

The 2010 Southern Nationals Series campaign will soldier on to the Screven Motor Speedway in Sylvania, Georgia on Saturday night, July 17 for another $5,300 to win showdown.
