"FRANKLIN FLYER" IN ACTION AT TALLADEGA SHORT TRACK...
APRIL
28, 2008 --- The Steve Barnett Racing team trekked south to the
Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, Alabama on April 25-26 for a pair of Dirt
Late Model events. Steve Barnett qualified seventeenth quickest on Friday
night, April 25, which locked him into the $2,000 to win feature event. After
starting from the inside of the ninth row for the A-Main, the Franklin, Indiana
native made a few laps before returning pitside with a DNF.
On Saturday evening, April 26, the cars and stars of the O'Reilly Southern Allstars Series (OSAS) rolled into the track deemed as the "Hornet's Nest." Steve competed in OSAS qualifying for the $5,000 to win event, but then the rains came. With off and on showers delaying the program, Steve made the decision to leave the track and head back home; therefore, foregoing the rest of the show.
