Showtime Speedway FL)Defending “Dave Steele
World Non Wing Sprint Car Championship 125” winner Kody Swanson
today announced he will participate in the weekend’s 125-lap
$5,000-to-win event. Until today, it was uncertain if he would
attempt to defend his title. Swanson has been busy this month to say

at New Smyrna Speedway as part of its annual World Series. Swanson
picked up a Pro Late Model feature victory and captured the Pro Late
Model World Series championship. Until recently, Swanson wasn’t sure
if he would be able to participate in this weekend’s event. He and
his Doran Enterprises Racing team have been thrashing to get the car
ready to head to Florida. Press Releases

POWRi WAR)Beginning his racing career in
2012, at the age of 7 years old, Odessa Missouri’s Xavier Doney
would cut his teeth among the quarter-midget racing-ranks over the
next few seasons by quickly racking up the hardware. Making the
transition into micro sprints in 2017, Doney immediately became a
prominent front-runner. Finishing fifth in the restricted class at
the Tulsa Shootout in 2018, Doney would gain the hard charger award
in Tulsa the following year. Then, in 2020 Doney flexed his driving
might by rounding out the podium, in both the wing and non-wing
races, at Sweet Springs Motor Complex’s yearly Show-Me Showdown. Press Releases

Episode: Drew Warner Being a crew chief on a race team is a
difficult job. Not only is it on them to make setup calls and work
with the driver, they are also responsible for building cars,
managing team members, and getting the team from track to track. One
guy who's been successful as a crew chief at an early age is Drew
Warner. In his early 20's, Warner bursted on to the national scene
in 2018 as the head wrench for Rico Abreu, with the duo teaming up
to win the Ironman 55 at Pevely and the Gold Cup with the World of
Outlaws. These days, Warner is the crew chief for California's DJ
Netto and his number 88N Netto Ag team, and he joins the show this
week to chat about being a young crew chief, working with different
drivers, being responsible for cars and setups, and a lot more. Find
