The 2nd Annual Cellular South Southern Showdown Next!
Southern Showdown Championships Coming June 18th!
COLUMBUS, MISSISSIPPI-Racing action returns to the Magnolia Motor Speedway on Saturday night June 18th at 8pm with the 2nd Annual Cellular South Southern Showdown. The big event will feature Southern Showdown Championships in all divisions including another first for the 3/8’s mile speedplant, Topless Twin 25’s for the Super Late Models.
Fans will see two complete main events for the Topless Super Late Models which should make for a great night of entertainment. Adding to the drama will be the fact that the winner of the first Topless Super Late Model main event will draw for an inversion of the field for the second 25-lap main event. The Super Late Models will compete without their roofs, going “topless,” allowing for fans the opportunity to have an exceptional view of the drivers man-handling their 750 plus horsepower high-performance Super Late Models. It is also possible for a driver to take home $3,500 in winnings with a sweep of the Topless Super Late Model events. It should be a high intensity night at the Magnolia Motor Speedway.
All the exciting local divisions will be in action including Open Wheel Modifieds, Late Model Stocks, Street Stocks, Mini Stocks, and Cruisers. All local divisions classes will be competing with added purse monies up for grabs and title of the Southern Showdown Champion. The local divisions put on a superb show at the last Magnolia Motor Speedway event with great races in all classes including possibly the Street Stock race of the year with drivers battling three wide for the lead.
Southern Showdown action gets underway Friday night June 17th with an open practice from 8pm until 10pm. Grandstand admission is free for practice and pit admission is $15.
Saturday night June 18th will see Topless Super Late Model Pole Qualifying, B-Mains as needed, and the Cellular South Southern Showdown Topless Twin 25’s. Plus all local divisions will be in action with heats and Southern Showdown Championships plus a Cruiser main event. Adult admission is only $15. Plus family friendly pricing will be in effect with children ages 10 and under admitted free; while student ages 11 to 18 and military personnel are admitted for only $10 on Saturday night. Fans should note that coolers and lawn chairs are welcome and there is a family section to the left of the flagstand.
