Mobile's Red Dog Reynolds Racks Up Two Wins Before Hurricane Gustav Hits Coast

Kenny Adams lit the fuse on the high-banks of Deep South Speedway to score the win in the O'Reilly Auto Parts ASCS Sprint Car main event.  With a full weekend of racing action getting underway on Thursday, Adams' win at the track located just north of the Gulf Coast had the crowd revved up for the previously scheduled Sunday night lineup of bonus racing.  But with Hurricane Gustav pounding the coastal region, day three of the Labor Day weekend of racing was pulled from the schedule.

One of NASCAR's 50 Greatest racers of all-time, Red Farmer will race his Bass Pro-Shops late model at Deep South Speedway on Saturday night, September 13th. Farmer, one of the founding members of the ʽAlabama Gangʼ was a three-time consecutive NASCAR Nationwide Series Champion from 1969-1971 and began his racing journey in 1947. Over his historical racing career, Red Farmer has won more than 900 feature races, including this year's season-opening event at his home track at Talladega Short Track. Farmer's age is reported to be 78, but he is still a competitive force anytime he climbs into a racecar, as shown by his recent 8th place finish in action against two-dozen NASCAR Sprint Cup all-stars during The Prelude to the Dream at the Tony Stewart owned Eldora Speedway in Ohio, which was televised worldwide on HBO. 

Known for his high levels of success in the top racing divisions for 60 years, Farmer is a huge fan favorite among motorsports enthusiasts of all ages and has created an extensive fan following throughout the Gulf Coast region over the years with wins coming at tracks in the Mobile, Pensacola and Gulf Coast region for decades. Time spent visiting with race fans and children has become a trademark of Farmer even with his extremely busy racing schedule. Farmer will swing into action during the GM Performance Late Model events at Deep South Speedway aboard his Bass Pro Shops sponsored CJ Rayburn prepared racecar for the Saturday night September 13th events. Gates will open at 4:00 pm for a full lineup of racing with Adult Grandstand tickets just $12.00, Kids 6-12 $5.00 and Children 5 years of age and under admitted FREE into the Grandstand area when accompanied by an adult.
