RINGGOLD, Ga. (August 27) - For the second time this season "BILLY THE KID" BILLY OGLE JR. slugged it out againsr the "RINGGOLD KID" Jamie Perry for the 25 lap Steel-head LM feature Friday night at BOYD's SPEEDWAY. At racetime fifteen (15) teams signed in setting two heats prior to the $1,000 to-WIN "A" Main event. Winners RICK HIXSON and Perry brought the field to green, but it would be a lap 6 pass by the #201 "Kilby Equipment Sales, Grady King Construction, PBM Performance Products, Calhoun's Restaurant" sponsored GRT Competition Race Engines powered Knoxville, TN, racer, that would be key for the feature. "It's our third victory here in 2010" stated Ogle Jr. after visiting JODY MILLARD PEST CONTROL Victory Lane. "We like this Steel-head LM program ya'll run here on Friday's and it in turn helps our Super Late Model program, when ya'll have various series come in to BOYD's." Early leader Perry (1999 S.A.S Champion) hung on to finish second as points leader Hixson raced past LAMAR SCOGGINS. Rounding out the Top-5 was THE LAW-MAN MIKE TINKER.
