Legend Division Sports Strong Entry List For “Protect Your Melon – Buckle Up SpeedFest”
January 20 Event to Be Run At Crisp Motorsports Park
(Cordele, GA) The entry lists for “Protect Your Melon - Buckle Up SpeedFest 2024” are looking strong for the January 19-20 event at Crisp Motorsports Park and Watermelon Capital Speedway. The annual event features four classes of racing with Super Late Models, Pro Late Models, Legends, and Bandoleros.
With over a week left before the event, all entry lists are heading north of the 20 mark and the Legend class is no different with nearly 30 talented racers, many of which will be the future stars of racing. Leading the list is 2022 SpeedFest winner and a Watermelon Capital Speedway champion, Cale Hall, of Griffin, GA. Hall has been an annual frontrunner in the event, finishing 6th last year, winning in 2022, and taking another top five back in 2020. He also claimed the Pro Late Model championship at the track last season.
Other favorites include last year’s runner-up Donovan Strauss, from Marietta, GA, and Brooks, GA’s Garrett Gumm, who rounded out last year’s podium. All of last year’s track champions in Legends will be in attendance as well including Cole Denton (Young Lion Champ), Ronnie Wehunt (Masters Champ), Ian Hampton (Semi Pro Champ), Austin Cook (Charger Champ), and Garrett Gumm (Pro Champ).
The current entry list is at 30 so it is likely that the field will be split into two features based on qualifying speeds, which will be run on Saturday afternoon.
The race weekend begins on Thursday afternoon with an optional practice day from 12:00-5:00 PM. Cost per car for the optional practice day is $100 for Legends and Bandoleros and $150 for Super and Pro Late Models. Thursday’s practice cost includes that day’s pit admission.
Friday festivities include rotating Late Model practice beginning at 12:00 PM with Legends and Bandolero practice from 3:15-4:00 PM and qualifying on track at 4:45 PM with Legends and Bandoleros followed by Pro Late Models and Super Late Models.
The big day, Saturday, will begin with an on-track autograph session for all divisions at 11:30 AM, followed by feature racing at 1:00 PM.
