Superbowl Speedway (Greenville)
August 11 (Saturday)

The 1st Annual David Pope Memorial Race at the Superbowl Speedway was a huge success. There was a large crowd, I believe the largest in the track's history and almost 200 race cars in the pits. David Pope, a successful business man, owner of David Pope Produce Trucking Company and a winning race car driver, passed away last year. David grew up in Greenville, TX, and started racing in 1975. His yellow No. 54, nick named the "Love Bandit", was a fan favorite.

Billy Brierton continues David Pope's racing tradition.

Joy Pope gave out several awards and helmets to friends.

David Pope's air brushed Produce trailer.

Clyde Dunn Jr.'s impressive rig.

In the USRA Modifieds feature, Clyde Dunn Jr., No. 88xx, defeated Josh Landers, No. 14x, for the $3,000 feature win. Tim Clonch, No. 18, was third, Triston Dycus, No. 14t, was fourth and Bobby Malcus, No. 4m, was fifth.

Josh Landers had a strong showing against some stiff competition.
