Episode 9 – 10th Annual Skyler Trull Memorial Race

March 30th, 2010

Weekend Warriors TV’s ninth episode is now online with Carolina Clash Super Late Model Series action from the clay-surfaced Carolina Speedway in Gastonia, North Carolina. Throughout the episode, WWTV goes behind the scenes and on track for the 10th Annual Skyler Trull Memorial.

Host Brittany Lofton goes one-on-one with some of the circuit’s best, spanning Dennis Franklin, Chris Ferguson, five-time Carolina Clash Champion Ricky Weeks, and defending Carolina Clash Champion Jeff Smith. And where there is a race, there is NASCAR veteran Kenny Schrader. Schrader also talks with Lofton and the WWTV crew, discussing his various racing endeavors and his new Roush-Yates engine program.

The track, dubbed “The Action Track,” was built in 1962 and since, has established itself as one of the best short track racing facilities on dirt across the Southeast. The reputable tight racing and hungry competition is what lured WWTV to the quaint track for its latest installment.

“The track looks small, but you’d think it was bigger with the speeds that they carry,” explained WWTV director BrettBortle. “It looks as though they are going to hit the wall when they slide through the turn. It’s so fast, they just keep on going.”

The next installment of Weekend Warriors TV, which will be the show’s 10th episode, is set for launch next Tuesday, April 6thwith coverage of midget racing from Hickory Motor Speedway.
