Jesse Lowe Opens 2019 Campaign with 411 Triumph
Bama Brawl at Fort Payne Motor Speedway Next
Crossville, Tennessee (02/18/19) – Jesse Lowe kicked off his 2019 season in triumphant style on Saturday afternoon. The driver of the Xtreme Pressure Washing #5j Gondolas Pizza and Steakhouse/ CVR Race Car Late Model wired the field in the annual Sweetheart event at 411 Motor Speedway to pick up the $1,5000 victory.
“What a way to start our season,” Lowe exclaimed in Victory Lane. “This is for everyone who helps me, supports me, and sponsors me. I want to thank to thank Mitch McCarter and the whole 411 Motor Speedway staff for all the hard work, and the way that they conducted post-race tech. Last but definitely not least, I want to thank our Lord. I’ve been struggling with wanting to race, and he’s pushed me through and put people in my life that are giving me the opportunity to keep doing what I love!”
The annual Sweetheart event drew a field of 24 competitors to Mitch McCarter’s 411 Motor Speedway (Seymour, Tennessee) on a cool Saturday afternoon. Jesse started the day by setting the benchmark in qualifying over the 24-car field with a 14.213-second lap around the 3/8-mile, clay oval.
Via his qualifying effort, Lowe earned the pole position for the $1,500-to-win feature. Jesse grabbed the lead at the drop of the green flag. Throughout the caution-plagued event he fought back multiple advances from Cory Hedgecock to claim the season-opening victory. Mack McCarter, Ross White and Clay Coglan completed the Top-5 finishers.

Jesse will continue his 2019 campaign this weekend with a trip to Fort Payne Motor Speedway (Fyffe, Alabama). On Saturday and Sunday the United Championship Racing Alliance (UCRA) opens their 2019 season at Fort Payne Motor Speedway (Fyffe, Alabama) with the inaugural Bama Brawl. The event is headlined by a $2,500-to-win finale for the Crate Late Model class.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
McIntosh and BMS Couldn’t Get it Going at Volusia
MARYVILLE, Tenn. (Feb. 18) Donald McIntosh and the Blount Motorsports Team just couldn’t find the right combination during their three race DIRTcar Nationals stint as Volusia Speedway Park this past week.
Today’s Dirt Late Model competition has become so competitive and there are so many good teams out there that having a good qualifying run is paramount. In the three races at Volusia McIntosh qualified fifth in the first group on Monday, 15th in the first group on Wednesday and 17th in the second group on Thursday.
“Qualifying is so important at any of these races, but the bigger the race the more important it becomes,” said David Bryant. “No matter what the reason if you don’t qualify well especially here at Volusia it is going to be a long night. And we had three long nights.
It was not how we wanted to start the season, but we knew going down to Volusia that it would be tough and this could happen.”
The next race for Blount Motorsports will be the Ultimate event at North Georgia Speedway on March 2 followed by the WoO Tennessee Tipoff Classic on March 9.
Blount Motorsports enjoys sponsorship from Stowers (CAT) Machinery Corp., Blount Excavating, Massey Electric, Turner Hydraulics, Ole Ben Franklin Motors, Food City, and The Wine and Spirits Cellar.
BMS races Rocket XR1 Chassis. Power is provided by Vic Hill Racing Engines with Dyer’s Top Rods, Driven Racing Oil, Waterman Fuel Pumps, VP Race Fuels and starting power from Go Lithium batteries. Gauges and wiring harnesses from QuickCar. Drive train components are from Quarter Master with Carbon Fiber drive shafts from Fastshafts. The shocks are Penske Racing Shocks with chassis and suspension components from TWM and springs from Hyperco. Noses and body parts are from Five Star Stock Car Bodies and tires are Hoosier Performance Tires from Hoosier Tires South.
