Richardson's #261 Car Breaks Moore's Winning Streak

| 0 Comments
KVRA stars met up with the Alabama gang at Thunderhill Raceway in Summertown, Tennessee on Saturday night, July 24th. It was an awesome night at Thunderhill Raceway Saturday night, despite record-breaking temperatures. Corky Broughton won his first race in the KVRA series by winning heat race number one. Tony Simmons won heat race number two, holding off Matt Moore in the #37 car. Matt was excited he was able to hold off his dad, KVRA's president, Mark Moore, to take the second spot in heat number two. The feature race was an intense battle between #261 Tony Simmons and #33 Mark Moore. Tony started on the pole and lead most of the way. Mark was able to pass Tony on about lap number six and led that lap, but Tony passed him again on the next lap and led the remainder of the laps. Simmons won by about two car lengths over Moore. Special thanks to Wayne Burns and his staff at the Thunderhill Raceway facility. Thanks to all the KVRA drivers who participated: #1 Corky Broughton, #35 Cindy Ford, #39 Cookie, #40 Dennis English, #37 Matt Moore, #33 Mark Moore, #29 Jason Bailey, #89 Wayne Burns, and #261 Tony Simmons. Thanks to all the car owners: Tom Richardson (#261), Larry Bailey (#29 and #89), and Mark Moore (#1, #33, #35, #39, #37, and #40). Thanks to the fans at Thunderhill. We look forward to seeing everyone at Paducah International Raceway next Friday, July 30th.

KVRA Stars Visit Kentucky Sheriff's Boys and Girls Ranch

| 0 Comments
On Wednesday, July 21, 2010, two of KVRA's stars visited the Kentucky Sheriff's Boys and Girls Ranch in Gilbertsville, Kentucky. Matt Moore and Corky Broughton of Murray, Kentucky showed off the 1937 Pontiac, driven by Matt Moore to the boys at the sheriff's ranch. Matt even did a little bit of an exhibition driving show in the grass for the kids. The response from the boys was great, and Matt and Corky did a great job sharing some facts about racing in general, how KVRA works, and about the #37 vintage race car. Special thanks to Matt and Corky for donating their time and effort for this great cause.
