For Immediate Release  July 2003   By Anita Murray
XTREME POWER ON THE PLATEAU
 A large crowd turned out Friday night June 27, at Crossville Speedway to enjoy the Xtreme Power on the Plateau Race. The main event featured the Xtreme Dirt Late Model Series with Dale McDowell taking the win. The support race featured the Modified Lite Dirt Cars. H&E Chassis, Leader Chassis and Saval Racing Technology, and Full Throttle Performance Parts sponsored the Modified Lite race with help and special thanks to the Crossville Speedway and the Xtreme Dirt Series. The spectators got a great show with a large field of cars. The Modified Lites had twenty-one modified and classic cars. The Modified division ran two heat races to determine the starting line up. Kelly Glass gained inside pole while Herschel Cronin held the outside pole position. Tracy Fritter and Ron Wick sat in the second row with Tom Buckingham and Ken Osteen in row three. It was a 25-lap race and Glass led the first lap with Cronin and Fritter on his bumper. With three laps down Rusty Harris and Travis Leake went around in turn two bringing out the caution. On the restart it was still Glass in the lead followed by Fritter, Cronin, and Tom Buckingham. The race remained under green with Glass, Fritter, Cronin, Tom Buckingham and Shannon Buckingham running in the top five positions. S.Buckingham was the car on the move and had soon moved into third place position. Then Jeff Danner spun on the backstretch and the caution was brought out. He got going again and the race was restarted with the top five being Glass, Fritter, S.Buckingham, Cronin and Wick. The next lap S.Buckingham moved into second and Wick moved into fourth. Everyone was running close but especially S.Buckingham and Fritter. They were two wide going into the turns and suddenly Danner lost his motor going into turn three and the caution was out. When the green fell it was Glass, S.Buckingham, Fritter, Wick, and Cronin in the top five. This time S.Buckingham was running two wide with Glass and Fritter was right on their bumper. The next lap S.Buckingham had the lead then Buckingham, Glass and Fritter went three wide into turn four. Glass hit the outside wall and the caution fell again. On the restart it was S. Buckingham, Fritter, Wick, Randal Klepper, and Cronin in the top five. S. Buckingham began to gain a car link or two when Glass went around in turn four and Jerry Cushing went around in turn two bringing out the caution. On the restart it was S. Buckingham, Fritter, and Wick in the top three. The next lap they were racing hard with everyone close and Fritter went around in the turn with the caution out once more. S. Buckingham, Wick and Harris rounded out the top three when the green fell this time. The race continued under green with Shannon Buckingham taking the win, along with a $500 purse, Harris finished second and Wick took third.

There was Another division racing at Crossville tonight, but I be danged if I know what they were!

And a Lot of Them even went around the curves Sideways! 
The Xtreme Series will be running in TN Saturday night at Tazewell Speedway, so Be Sure and drive up and watch all the action! No telling How Long it will be before the Xtreme Series races Two Nights in a Row in Tennessee!!!

6-20-03 - I Finally made it to Crossville Speedway tonight and I had forgotten just how good dirt racin was (not really!-). But I Was Impressed! It is a Great Facility, Fast Track, Friendly People; if was was to give it a grade I believe it would be an A+, epically for a Dirt Track! And the only thing I had to dodge was the Mud Balls!-)  The Stands were Packed, the Pits were Filled with Cars and the Racing was Great!! Only thing I Might would have changed would have made the temperature about 10degrees warmer:-) I will Defiantly go back! Especially Next Friday, June 27the when they are having the eXtreem Late Models! Now THAT Will Be Awesome! But YOU need to go see for yourself! Click HERE for Directions to the track:-) Oh, and since the folks at Crossville Speedway were SO Nice to me and made me feel rite at home, I will be adding them to my 'Featured Tracks' area, both here on RacinStation and on MiddleTennesseeRacingNews! And I plan to get on their mailing list so I can provide you all with the highlights and results even on nights I'm not there:-)
I'm going to 'cheat' just a little since I don't know all the drivers names yet, and go to the Crossville Website to get the  winners in each division, but Be Sure and Check the Tracks Website for all the Official Results!  
The Night was Filled with Action Packed Racin yet few cars got a lot of damage to them that I saw.. impressive:-)  And they had a thing for the kids on the front straightaway were they threw out a Whole Bunch of Quarters on the track, and turned ALL Those 'munchkins' loose on the track to see how many they could pick up! Munchkins Galore! They had a blast. Sorry, but I don't have a clue the name of the child that actually won... or really even how they figured Out who won!-)  
They Also had a wild deal at the end of the races called the 'Cruisers" I believe, and it was the dangdest thing I ever saw! Get your granny's Cadillac and bring it on up! just be sure and bring a buddy to work the peddles for you!!!
