Tyler Stevens Wraps Up 2020 with Pair of Runner-Ups in the Reaper
Already Preparing for a Big 2021

Searcy, Arkansas (11/03/20) – Tyler Stevens put a wrap on the 2020 season over the weekend with a pair of runner-up finishes in his Stallion Transportation Group No. 2 Level 1 Driving Academy/ W&W Timber / XR1 Rocket Chassis Late Model.

Tyler Stevens and TLP Motorsports trekked south to Mississippi’s Columbus Speedway for the inaugural Reaper. The All Star Racing Series (ASRS) event drew 36 entries to the 1/3-mile, high-banked oval.

In Friday night action, Tyler finished qualified fourth-fastest overall to earn the pole position for the fourth heat race. A victory in the heat transferred him into the $2,000-to-win feature, where he started fourth on the grid. Passing would come at a premium in the preliminary feature, but Stevens still managed to advance to a runner-up finish behind race winner Brandon Williams. Tyler Wood, Christian Hanger, and Jimmy Thomas completed the Top-5 finishers.

On Saturday night the winner’s check was elevated to $10,000 and a second-place finish in his heat race transferred Tyler into the 75-lap main event, where he started sixth. Stevens managed his tires throughout the caution-plagued feature on another challenging track surface before crossing the finish line in the second spot behind Jimmy Thomas. Christian Hanger, Jeremy Shaw, and Tyler Wood rounded out the Top 5.

“We had a solid weekend. On Friday night I got my nose under the leader a few times but didn’t want to risk tearing my car up before Saturday’s big finale,” Stevens said. “We ran second again on Saturday night. Not a win, but still a solid $5,000 payday to wrap up the season. Again, it was a solid weekend with a pair of runner-up finishes against some of the biggest drivers in Crate Late Model racing.

“Thanks to my beautiful wife Lindsey as well as Bradley Stapler for working so hard all weekend long. We are now full speed ahead preparing for 2021. I learned a lot about the Late Model division in a short amount of time this year, and it’s got me really excited about what we can accomplish next season as we pursue more Crate Late Model events in addition to several Super Late Model races.”

Hedgecock Claims Fifth Topless Outlaws Triumph of 2020
Crate Late Model National Championship Next

LOUDON, Tenn. (11/03/20) – Friday night saw Cory Hedgecock claim his fifth Topless Outlaws Dirt Late Model Series win of the season. It was the eleventh overall triumph of 2020 for the chauffer of the E-Z-GO No. 23 Pace Performance/ Budget Transmissions/ Rocket Chassis/ Eagle Racing Engine Late Model.

“It’s great to be back in Victory Lane at Boyd’s,” Hedgecock said. “It was a good night. We had a fast car, was able to get the lead early and never looked back. As always, a big thanks goes out to all of my family, crew, fans, and sponsors for their relentless support.”

Cory Hedgecock invaded Boyd’s Speedway in Ringgold, Ga. Friday night for the first of two Topless Outlaws Dirt Late Model Series events over the weekend. Topping the 26-car field in time trials, Hedgecock locked into the second-starting position for the main event.

Zooming past polesitter Chase King on the fourth lap, Cory led the remaining distance of the 40-lapper to secure his 11th victory of the season and fifth Topless Outlaws triumph of 2020. Finishing ahead of Chase King, Randy Weaver, Ronnie Johnson, and Jadon Frame, Hedgecock pocketed $2,500.

The following night at 411 Motor Speedway in Seymour, Tenn. for the Halloween Spooktacular, Hedgecock laid down the third fastest time in his group, which positioned him fifth on the starting grid for the $5,100-to-win A-Main.

Challenging race-long pacesetter Randy Weaver late in the 51-lap affair, Cory came up short to place second behind Weaver. Chase King, Ronnie Johnson, and Kenny Collins rounded out the Top-5.
