The management of Southside Speedway would like to announce that Gary Fox and Chris Stefi have accepted the positions of Co-Race Directors for the 2006 race season. The two will share responsibilities and work together to ensure that racing at Southside will be better than ever in 2006. Their goals are to increase the car counts, ensure the competitors are on an even playing field and most importantly offer a place where the competitors will be treated fairly. Gary brings over 31 years of experience as an official working with NASCAR and Southside Speedway. Chris brings over 8 years of experience as a driver in the Late Model Stock Car division and 4 years experience as an official at Southside. Their wealth of knowledge and experience in short track racing will certainly be an asset for the track.  Track promoter Sue Clements along with Fox and Stefi are continuing to work to complete the team of officials with more announcements to follow.

The plans for the 2006 racing season are well underway. The Late Model Sportsmen and the Modifieds will return as the feature divisions. Also returning for 2006 will be the Grand Stocks, Legends, U-Cars, Pro-6, and Enduros.  The 2006 schedule will be announced on the Southside Speedway website in the coming weeks.

There will be no major rule changes for the upcoming season. All divisions can build their cars and make their plans based on the 2005 rule book. Drivers / Owners meetings will take place in January 2006 with the dates and times announced on the website. All future racing / competition related questions should be directed to the race directors, Gary Fox and Chris Stefi. The e-mail address is officials@southside-speedway.com.
