LOXLEY, Ill. (October 4) - On a night when thrill seekers and entertainment fans from all over the Gulf Coast region came to see whether or not Bubba Blackwell could set a new record jumping fifty-two cars aboard his Harley-Davidson motorcycle, racing on the track reached a frenzied level of competition. The packed house of fans witnessed David Breazeale work his VooDoo Motorsports magic in to a wire-to-wire victory in the 50 lap super late model battle for the Mississippi State Championship Challenge Series (MSCCS). In other late model action it was Pace, Florida's Ricky Haugen scoring a second straight win in the GM Performance divison. Championship titles were determined in all Deep South Speedway classes in a night full of spills and thrills on the racetrack.
Bubba Blackwell, The American Dare Devil from nearby Bon Secour, Alabama, was able to clear the challenging jump of cars earning the new world mark in the business of motorcycle stunt jumping. The event was video taped by several production companies from around the globe, including the Canadian Broadcast team from 'TV Made Me Do It'. Blackwell's leap on the Harley-Davidson XR-750 surpassed the 1973 record of 50 cars set by the late, great Evel Knievel which was done in the Los Angeles Coliseum over three decades ago.
But it was the action on the high-banked, lightning fast racing oval of Deep South Speedway that had fans stunned with amazement. Breazeale, from Four Corners, Mississippi would score the fastest lap in time-trial qualifying for the super late models on hand at Deep South Speedway, then go on to win the Fast-8 Dash among the quick eight qualifiers earning the pole position for the fifty lap main event.
With frantic scambles on-going for positions throughout the event Breazeale was able to hold off the late race charge of Tennessee ace Vic Hill to take the checkered flag and big payday. Breazeale drives the Voodoo Motorsports owned racecar sponsored by Black Warrior Auction Company and Creel Brothers. The MasterSbilt racecar of Breazeale was prepared by Stuckey Enterprises and powered to the win by a Jay Dickens Racing Engine. Hill crossed the stripe in second as Jackson, Mississippi racer Scott Slay finished third. 2008 Advance Auto Parts Thunder Series Champion Rick Rogers of Knoxville, Tennessee rallied late in the event to bring his BKW, Inc. sponsored machine home with a fourth place run, as Louisiana's David Ashley rounded out the top-five.
The GM Performance Late Model event got off to a wild start in heat racing action and then continued to leave the crowd in awe as racers scattered all over the multi-grooved racing surface dueling it out for positions. Haugen returned with the same form that had led him to a winning run two weeks ago and streaked away from his nearest challengers during the closing laps of the event for his third feature win of 2008. Fellow Floridian Larry Boutwell made it interesting in the last few laps but would have to settle for second place just ahead of Ryan Little who took the third spot. Little, of Satsuma, Alabama clinched the 2008 GM Performance Late Model Championship at Deep South Speedway with the solid run. Coming home fourth and fifth, respectively, were Steven Brantley and Steve Turner.
