Open Wheel Modified,
 Whynot Motorsports Park


As most fans know at Whynot Motorsports Park, the "KING of the Dirt" in our modified division here of late has been the red and black #K1 of Randy King. Everytime Randy hits the dirt, he finds his way up front bringing in another feature win, 1st of this season of course, beating out rival #34 Ben Stephens from Hattisburg, Ms.

Randy King wrapped up an astonishing season last year, almost becoming impossible to beat. That was until Randy had a bad wreck up in Jackson driving a LateModel. After suffering some pretty serious injuries, Randy climbed back into h is UMP Modified and took off right where he had left off, winning his first weekend back.

With all his wounds healed for the start of the 2013 season, we all were a bit surprised when #34 Ben Stephens took the Heat Race earlier in the night. Just as soon as the featured started though, Randy & his K1 machine took off. "It's like he drives his car on a rail, just like a trolly car", said one spectator after his 2013 season opening win.

Now i promise you, there is no rail that Randy races on, just pure talent and a great set-up that has him turning just right at Whynot Motorsports Park. Even though he missed several races last season, Randy was still able to finish 3rd in last years point standings losing by 120 points to 7x Kyle Rutledge.

CameronParker moves to fulltime UMP

Cameron Parker debuted his full time ride in the UMP series and after a few close calls, finally got his yellow painted #41 to pass a few drivers where he eventually finished 6th.

Ben Stephens finished brides mate once again and #25B Tony Hodge rounded out the top 3.
Jeffery Walker, driving the #11 did not have an impressive night getting caught up early in the night in the heat race.
