Roderick Train Keeps Rollin’, Has Won Seven Straight PLM 100 Lappers at 5 Flags

By Chuck Corder

The superlatives for Casey Roderick are countless.

Every bouquet the short track world tosses at the Georgia late model hotshoe is blooming and well-deserving.

Roderick’s entire arsenal was on display Friday night at Five Flags Speedway for the third of four Allen Turner Pro Late Model 100 races.

The 25 year old showed the patience and discipline of the veteran wheelman he is after trailing to Jeff Choquette for most of the race.

Roderick finally got by Choquette on Lap 84, and didn’t look back in capturing his seventh […]

Will Blount+ Patino = Win in Friday’s “Road to the Snowflake” Pro Late Models?

Joining Forces with Blount, Young Patino Hones in on First Allen Turner Pro Late Model 100 Victory
By Chuck Corder
Fate has a funny way of intervening during trying times.
At 6-foot-1, Perry Patino is a strapping, young lad — all 19 years of him — filled with a white-hot passion for late model racing, but with grassroots pockets not as deep as some of his competitors.
Patino and his father, Richard Patino, were planning on putting racing in the rearview and letting the Montgomery, Ala., native focus on his sophomore year at the University of Alabama and his pursuit of a degree in […]

Babb Bangs Way to Second Demo Derby Victory; Ard Pulls Off Stunner in Sportsmen Spectacular

By Chuck Corder

Justin Babb never stopped inflicting damage Friday night at Five Flags Speedway.

Luckily for the Pensacola resident, that’s the perfect recipe to be victorious in a Demolition Derby.

In his colorful Lincoln that had a dread-locked Rastafarian piñata on its roof, Babb drove with reckless abandonment and won his second Demolition Derby in three years.

He was the last car standing in a crowded field of 14 cars. Babb finished off Bobby Suarez in the “Tooth Ambulance” PT Cruiser to collect the $1,500 winner’s purse.

Casey at the Flag Stand: Roderick Collects another PLM Checkered Flag, Makes it Six in a Row

By Chuck Corder

With apologies to Allen Turner, but perhaps it’s time the Pro Late Model division at Five Flags Speedway be renamed in Casey Roderick’s honor.

All the Lawrenceville, Ga., driver does at the famed half-mile asphalt oval behind the wheel of his Ronnie Sanders red No. 18 PLM machine is continue to stack up victories.

Not counting the Snowflake 100 held each December, Roderick won his sixth consecutive Allen Turner PLM Series 100 lapper dating back to last season.

Allen Turner PLM Drivers Size Up a Win Friday Night, While Building Knowledge for December’s Big Race

By Chuck Corder

When the first week of December rolls around, the racing world turn its focus upon Five Flags Speedway.

Going on more than 50 years now, the Snowball Derby has become short-track racing’s pinnacle event for Super Late Models.

Equally as important, in recent years, has been the race staged the night before Sunday’s 300 lapper.

The Snowflake 100 for the Allen Turner Pro Late Models at the famed half-mile asphalt oval has a history of champions that are as decorated and respected as the group who have been fortunate enough to win the Derby and hoist the Tom Dawson trophy.
