Racing for a Cure – Alzheimer’s Tennessee Inc Night

(SEYMOUR, Tennessee) – With so many families affected by Alzheimer’s disease, 411 Motor Speedway has joined forces with their drivers and fans to help make a difference and raise awareness among the racing community about Alzheimer’s disease. Currently, there is an estimated 5.4 million people with this disease. That’s 1 in every 8! By 2030, that number is estimated to grow to 7.7 million. There are an estimated 14.9 million unpaid caregivers; 80% being family members. What’s worse, Alzheimer’s accounts for an estimated $183 billion in expenses annually. By 2050, that number is projected to reach $1.1 trillion. Alzheimer’s is the 5th leading cause of death for those 65 and older. In 2007, Tennessee alone recorded 2,276 deaths due to Alzheimer’s.

Eubanks, Cardwell steal the show with wild rides

Another Saturday night is in the books, and fans, was it a wild one or not?! Jay Eubanks scared the crowd when his machine flipped in the Classic feature and immediately burst into flames. He would be pulled out of his car and was ok. And in the Limited Late Model feature, Jason Cardwell would lead from the green flag until he could see the checkers, but never crossed the line as he drilled the turn 4 wall, rode up the fence and landed on his roof only 40′ from the line. Collins claimed the win. Here are the winners: Brad Hall (CLM), Adam Engel (C), Mike Lewis (TM), Bradly Lewelling (SS), Robbie Comer (ST/MS), Rocky McNabb (MM), Dalton King (MS), Josh Collins (LLM), Cody Courtney (M-LM)

Coming up this Saturday is extra money on the line in most classes (see ticker for more info)! In addition, it’s the 2nd Annual Alzheimer’s Awareness Night! Drivers will make their way through the grandstands during intermission with their helmets to collect donations! Every dollar goes to the Alzheimer’s Association! Alzheimer’s is a terrible disease with no current cure, but can be managed with medication if diagnosed early enough and research continues. In the 8 year span from 2000-2008, deaths from Alzheimer’s disease rose 66%! There is an estimated 5.4 MILLION people with Alzheimer’s, and 14.9 million unpaid caregivers and accounts for a total of $183 BILLION dollars in expense!

Josh Collins jets to LLM win; Brad Lowe wins–in TM

Another great Saturday night of racing is in the books at 411 Motor Speedway, and with only 5 points races remaining, the action is heating up! The fans turned out this past Saturday, and Knox County residents got a $5 discount to the grandstands! But before we announce our next $5 discount, let’s reflect on Saturday! First off, Ryan King stole the show in Crate Late Model, while Drew Kennedy picked up the win in Classic. In the Hardee’s Topless Modified Shootout, we say Derik Duggan drive the former David Day machine to victory lane, only to be protested and declared illegal, handing the win over to Brad Lowe! In Street Stock action, we saw Dale Watson cruise to the checkers, picking up the win AND clinching to 2011 championship in that division. In Mod Street/Super Truck, we saw Cory Cate again drive to victory lane, while Tim Ladd threw everything, including the kitchen sink, to charge from 3rd to the win on the last lap, but Chuck McMahan was no match this week. Dalton King bashed his way to the win in Mini-Stock, while Rusty Ballenger looked to be cruising to victory lane until Josh Collins hit the nitro button and jetted to the win.
