The inclement

weather over the past few weeks has put a damper on some of the racing

action at Atlanta Motor Speedway for its Thursday Thunder racing series.

Several of

the races were made up last Thursday, though, and racers from this region

made their mark.

In the two

Young Lions races, Fayetteville's Doug Ludwig placed first in one race

and 10th in the other. Tyrone's Michael Herrington placed eighth in both

of the Semi-Pro B races, while Fayetteville's Mike Sims placed fifth in

one race and 12th in the other. Newnan's Brandon McElroy placed second

and fifth in the two Semi-Pro A races, while Senoia's Bubba Pollard placed

sixth and 11th.

In the two

Pro Division races, Reed Sorenson from Peachtree City placed first and

second. The Young Guns Division had to make up three races and Peachtree

City's Trey Maughan placed seventh, ninth and 10th.

Don't miss

next week's Thursday Thunder, 96 Rock Racing Rampage Night. 96 Rock disc

jockeys English Nick and Southside Steve will battle it out in the 96

Rockin' Race at intermission.

Admission for

adults is $5, children 6-11 are $1, and children 5 and under are free.

Gates open at 6:30 p.m., and the racing action starts immediately. Phone

770-946-4211.
