Golden Isles Speedway is a 3/8-mile dirt track in Brusnwick, GA. Tonight, they host the second race back for the national dirt track racing series.
Once again, no fans are in the stands tonight. This event is for online broadcast only.
Weather was in the area once again earlier today. But, the cars are uncovered and we’re going racing.
Officials used some unique equipment to help dry the race track just moments ago. The Lucas Oil Productions helicopter dropped from the sky. It hung just a few feet above the track, using the chopper blades to help dry the racing surface!

Brandon Sheppard is the point leader coming into this event. He ran hot laps and qualified 10th in his group. However, just ahead of the heat races, he loaded up and left the race track. Sheppard will lose the point lead after tonight’s event.
Tyler Bruening was involved in a heavy impact last night after Brandon Overton caught the wall and blocked the track. Instead of rolling out the backup car, the team stayed up until 2am and they were back at it early this morning. After working all day, the primary car is set for the feature.
