Points leader

Scott Griffin will be running with the number 44 on his car in place of

his normal number 13 Saturday night, in memory of the late John Bass of

Tyrone. Bass was a former driver at Senoia Speedway who passed away weeks

ago after crashing in an ultra light (aircraft). Bass and the Griffin

family started driving at Senoia Speedway, also known as Senoia Raceway

, when it was a dirt track. He was a long time employee of Goodyear's

aviation retread plant in Forest Park, GA.

Brooks' Andy

Cash sewed up the championship in the Sportsman division several weeks

ago, but Newnan's Steve Payton still has a shot at the runner up position

over Mark Lore as he trails him by 42 points.

Senoia's Mark

Lore will repeat as the Street Stock Point Champion for his second season

with rookies' Ted Willingham and Jason Turner still battling for second

place honors. Locust Grove's Robbie Gober is in fourth but Fayetteville's

Mike Steffens trails him by 29 points with a shot for fourth.

Gay, Ga.'s

Troy French hopes to repeat last year's finish as he leads Jonesboro's

Cary Hamilton by 26 points for the championship in the Mini Stocks Division.

Fayetteville's Darrel Carlson trails Newnan's James Waite by 28 points

for third place. Arthur Jordon is only 23 points behind Keith Adams for

the fifth place position. Rookie LaGrange driver Shawn Morgan along with

Mike Chambers could place in the top five as they are both capable of

mixing into the equation.

Locust Grove's

Shane Upchurch has clenched the Senoia Speedway Legends Pro Semi-Pro Masters

Division over Marc Mitchell. However, a battle still exists among Johnny

East, Doug Stevens, and Lloyd Wittenburg as they all have a mathematical

chance at positions three through five in the championship.

Only 14 points

separate the battle of seven in the Young Lyons/Chargers Divisions as

two Senoia natives, Scott Tinsley and Bubba Pollard, will do battle for

the championship. Tinsley is the defending Division Champion while Pollard

is in his rookie season. Nine points separate Cindy Anderson and Bubba

Harry for the third place position with McDonough's Brandon Brilliant

only seven points behind Bobby East for fifth.

Gates open

at 4 p.m. Friday and Saturday. All Qualifying will be at 7 p.m. on Friday

and Races will begin at 7 p.m. on Saturday. Don't forget to buy some tickets

for the Senoia Speedway Awards Banquet November 26th. Tickets may be purchased
