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.

Another Victory for Moore

| 0 Comments
The stars of Kentucky Vintage were back at Paducah International Raceway on July 9th. Due to some rain and cloud cover, the track was fast and in excellent condition for racing. Pat Halvorson took the early lead in heat race number one and went on to win. Heat race number two was a battle between Dave Davidson, Dennis English, Matt Moore, and Mark Moore. Mark Moore took the win after starting in the rear. The feature race was even more intense with KVRA's president Mark Moore of Murray, Kentucky starting in the third row and battling his way to victory, making a last lap pass on the outside of Dave Davidson. This was probably the best action of the night at PIR. We appreciate everyone driving clean and respecting their fellow competitors. Special thanks to Bob Sargent and his entire staff at PIR, and the following drivers: (35) Cindy Ford, (1) Corky Broughton, (37) Matt Moore, (40) Dennis English, (38) Luke Rutter, (33) Mark Moore, (16) Dave Davidson, (88) Kenny Brannon, (61) Pat Halvorson.

| 0 Comments
KVRA participants put on an awesome show at Thundercity Speedway in Doniphan, Missouri Saturday night, June 19th. Matt Moore took the win in heat race number one. Mark Moore came from the rear in heat race number two and just got by the W3's Rex Rutter on the last lap to take the win. Matt Moore of Murray, Kentucky came out on top, winning the 20 lap feature race number one. Mark Moore won feature face number two in a hard-fought battle with #42, Dennis English, and the W4's Brian Steele. Steele passed Moore (who had led the entire way) on lap 18, but Moore used a crossover move and passed Steele back to seal the victory. Not one fan was sitting down as this battle came to an end. The W3's Rex Rutter of Madisonville, Kentucky was in the mix until brake problems took him out of the event. Thanks to Rick and all his staff at Thundercity Speedway for their hospitality. Also a special thanks to all of KVRA's participants and fans who help make these events such a success. We will see you at Paducah International Raceway next Friday, June 25th.
