Nelson Holden 1920-2007

June 3rd-  SOW6 is mourning one of it's own as Nelson Holden passed away sometime around 7am this morning. Nelson has been a fixture with SOW6 since Terry Monroe took the reigns in 2003.  His presence was ever familiar with either a video camera or a spatula in hand where he was ready to let you know "Hey, theres a burger in there if your hungry".  Many a SOW6 driver and crew have reaped the benefits of Nelson's pitside cooking.  Nelson's videography has also been seen by many as well.  Always with the camera trained on Monroe's car, if you were lucky enough not to be in the same heat at Monroe, well, Nelson would be glad to video your heat too.  There's no doubt who Nelson was there to video, a loyal man he was. In addition to cooking and videography, Nelson also spent many years at Smith-Petty Trophies helping Terry with the day-to-day trophy building and even the R/C shop that was once housed in the back of the building.  Being somewhat of a Grandfather to Terry over the last 20 years, he and Terry have more 'flight' time than Terry has laps.  There's no telling how many trophies he assembled for SOW6, ASCS, and numerous local tracks.  One thing's for sure though.... He will be missed on the track and off. Services and arrangements for Nelson will be announced early in the week.

April Birthday's

April 1st-  Look's like an easy call this month.  The lone birthday boy for April is inaugural and three-time SOW6 champion, "Bad" Brad Gentry (4/20).  Lately he's probably been called 'dada' or some other form of the word by his children, which he's spending more time at home with and less at the track in recent years.  Brad set the bar high the first year of SOW6 competition and still remains a factor when he hits the track.  From SOW6.com..

Hall Takes Season Opener At Champion Park Speedway

March 10th- Tyson Hall continued his winning ways saturday evening as the Southern Outlaw Winged 600's Presented by Tango Transport held thier season opener at Champion Park Speedway. Hall led wire-to-wire enroute to a $500 payday.  Coming off a win two weeks ago at Sabine Speedway in a pre-season challenge, Hall has now won every event he's entered in 2007. He's currently two-for-two, unless you count heat races, in that case put him down at four-for-four. The first event on the season saw 21 cars signed in for the start of the 10th year of sanctioned winged 600 racing. Drivers from as far away as 6 hours made the pull in search of the big payday. The first heat was dominated by former ASCS hotshoe and past SOW6 feature winner, Daryl Wills.  Wills topped his heat followed by fellow Texan, Aaron Reutzel from Clute, Texas. The first heat crossed the stripe as follows:1) Daryl Wills, 2) Aaron Reutzel, 3) #6 Dustin Gates, 4)#72 Justin Taylor, 5) #41 Lee Knowles, 6) #75 Tony Reeves and 7) #5 Buddy Lee. Heat two was wired by Hall, who so far this year has been nothing short of impressive. Hall started on the front row-outside and quickly took command followed by the #1 of Marty Hargroder. Hargroder made several attempts to gain the lead, but Hall was too strong. At the checkers it was 1) #5x Tyson Hall, 2) #1 Marty Hargroder, 3) #88 Brandon Darlington, 4) #23m Mike Johnson, 5) #3 Cody Coggins, 6) #29, and 7) #59 Sheree Williams. In the third heat Terry Monroe was back to his winning ways after leading each lap. After starting third, Monroe took command by turn one. Meanwhile, three-time SOW6 champion Rusty Pipes and Matt Ebarb was dicing for the second position exiting turn two. As those two were battling and Monroe was checking out, there was a battle for 4th brewing with James Fairfield securing the spot.  As the laps wound down, it was 1) #51 Terry Monroe, 2) # Matt Ebarb, 3) #47 Rusty Pipes, 4) #141 James Fairfiled, 5) #8k, and 6) #85 John McCord. As the field was set for the feature it was time to draw for the invert. Wills, winner of heat one, pulled a #2 inverting the top two rows. The invert put Monroe on the point with Reutzel on the outside. As the green waved, It only took a few laps for the caution to fly in turn four for Hargroder and Turner. Hargroder was able to fire and restart at the tail of the pack, Turner wasn't as lucky with with night-ending damage to left front. Back up front Hall was in the lead and covering ground quickly with Reutzel in tow. Reutzel was poised several times to pull alongside Hall, but never had enough to make the pass. At the checkers flew, Hall had lapped the field up to 5th place. The finishing order is as follows: 1) Hall, 2) Reutzel, 3) Wills, 4) Monroe, 5) Johnson, 6) Fairfield, 7) Coggins, 8) Williams and 9) 8k.  Mike Johnson aboard his #23m was awarded the Pepsi Hard Charger Award by passing six cars to his 5th place finish.  On hand to present the award was Pepsi Americas On-Premise Sales Representative Brian McCabe.  Other starters unable to finish recording a DNF on the first night are: #41 Knowles (motor), #6 Gates (chain), #72 Taylor (damage), #47 Pipes (chain), #75 (chain), #88 (damage), #1 Hargroder (motor), #59 (unknown), and #10 Ebarb (unknown).

Hall Dominates Night One Of Big Star Classic

February 23rd-  Tyson Hall emerged victorious aboard his Pine Tree Motors sponsored #5x at Sabine Speedway's First Annual Big Star Classic.  For a race early in the season where most teams are still putting their programs together, a handfull of SOW6 drivers answered the call this weekend.  Heat one saw Daryl Wills make a last-lap pass on Matt Ebarb to take the win.  Wills was chased to the strip by Ebarb, Rusty Pipes, J.D. Arthurs and Chadd Roberts. Heat two was dominated by Tyson Hall who checked out and found the stripe first.  Rounding out the heat was Justin Turner, Brad Gentry, and Marty Hargroder. Hargroder exited his heat early after tanking a motor.  Turner, who was able to finish the heat, scratched from the feature with motor woes as well. As the feature went green, it was Ebarb taking the lead until lap two.  Exiting turn two Hall made the pass and was distancing himself from the field.  Meanwhile, Wills and Gentry had their sights on the front and were closing in on Ebarb.  Wills quickly made the jump to the second position as Pipes and Arthurs were farther back dicing for fourth.  Pipes eventually secured that spot with Authurs falling in behind.  Back up front, Wills was rapidly closing the gap on Hall, pulling along side several times but unable to make the pass.  The corners were Wills' strength and weakness as he closed in on Halls' bumper, only to wash up on the exit.  Hall's lead was secured when Wills caught a rut in two and got completely sideways.  Although his momentum was slowed, he maintained his position and followed Hall to the checkers.  Following Hall and Wills to the stripe was Pipes, Arthurs, Gentry, Ebarb, and Roberts. The second night of the Big Star Classic is still a go for saturday.  Any change will be posted on SOW6.com.  Also, SOW6.com will have the entire feature video available to view online sometime saturday afternoon, providing there aren't any technical difficulties uploading.

Action From Champion Park Speedway's Playday

February 17th-  With the first race of the season less than a week away, four local drivers took advantage of Champion Park Speedway's first playday today.  Three-time SOW6 champion #47 Rusty Pipes, last years winningest driver on the circuit #41 Lee Knowles, and two rookies for the '07 season, Chad Roberts and #9 J.D. Arthurs were on hand for the cold and windy playday.  Unfortunately after SOW6.com left the track, Chad decided to add his own touch to the action.  Entering turn four he got into some rough stuff and flipped his Bailey 600.  The only real damage appeared to be his top wing as he walked away uninjured.   While your checking out the photos, see if you can spot who's #1 and who also pulled a 'look ma, no hands' while driving. Just click here for the photo gallery.

December 31st-  SOW6.com paid a visit to two of our local drivers to see what they've been up to.  Finishing 4th in the '06 standings, Brandon Darlington of Bossier City was hard at work 'pimpin' his ride.  No, you won't find spinners on his Factor 1, but his truck is beginning to sport a little bling.  Our other stop was Monroe Morotsports where Terry Monroe has been hard at work on his hauler conversion.  Click here to see Brandon and Terry's progress during the winter.

December 28th, 2006-  The 2007 Southern Outlaw Winged 600's schedule is set to be released this weekend.  Entering it's tenth year of competition, the series has been the leader in 600cc racing in the southern United States.  Laying down a standard set of governing rules which other organizations have modeled themselves after. The '07 schedule will once again feature a 'Super Sprint Series' which has a separate purse and point system.  The Super Series is designed to take the championship points out of the equasion, ideally, having the drivers go-for-broke to get the win.  Only one driver has ever won both the SOW6 championship and the Super Series in the same year, Terry Monroe in 2004.

December 6th, 2006-  Time for an update on Terry Monore's conversion.  Click here to see the progress in the "From the Garage" section.  All teams and drivers are reminded you can submit your winter project to sow6editor@aol.com and we'll put it up for all to see.
