Another newcomer

this season will be Jesse Hurd. Sixteen-year-old Hurd will be driving

the Hurd Pit Tools and Equipment/Chevrolet/Monte Carlo in Senoia Speedway's

Pro Late Model Division this season. These races will allow this young

man the necessary seat time to move him closer to his NASCAR goals. Hurd

has moved up to the ranks into the Pro Late Model Series after spending

several years in go-karts, where he has won championships.

Not new to

racing, but new to the Pro Late Model Division this season, will be Troy

French from Gay, Ga. French leaves behind two back-to-back championships

in the Mini Stock Division at Senoia Speedway. The French Drain and Pipeline

Inc./Knowles Backhoe Service/Jones Backhoe Service/ Blasting Consultants

J.F.G & W.J./ 1999 Chevrolet/Monte Carlo will be one of a dozen new

Pro Late Model hopefuls this season.

New faces will

be seen not only on the track, but behind the scenes as well. Senoia Speedway

has made several changes this season to staff and facility. A new concessions

manager is planning specials and menus to appeal more to the race crowd

this season. The Speedway has a tire and fuel technician whose knowledge

will be greatly appreciated.

There have

also been some necessary improvements to the track to help the drivers

and fans. Senoia Speedway has added several new, larger lights to brighten

up those dark areas on and around the track. Also, additional parking

has been created for car transports.

Senoia Speedway

will open the gates for the 2001 season at 4 p.m. and races start at 7

p.m. Saturday, March 24. For information phone 770-599-6161, or check
