Garvey Wins at Revolution Park in Louisiana

NASCAR driver runs at Revolution Park

Wow! Is all you can say about the racing at Revolution Park. The racing was everything but boring, which kept fans on the edge of their seats. Folks say money talks and yes it does. The Bumper to Bumper Late Models had 15 cars present all trying to win the top prize of $5,000. Drivers came from Florida, Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. NASCAR truck and nationwide driver Mike Garvey was even present bringing his talent for a chance at the win.

After some great pre-race activities including live music, RC moved out with the pace car provided by David’s Mobile Detail, Wash, and Powerwashing, safety crew in place, Justice Wrecker in place, and the cars lined up for racing action.

The 25-laps qualifying race for the Bumper to Bumper Pro Late Models started the night off. No. 7 Kody Brusso, No. 2 Brent McGee, No.8 Brandon Kent, No. 1 Mike Garvey and No.14 Chris Davidson were all in the top mix of cars. As they came around for the checkered flag and it was Garvey, Davidson, Kent, and Brusso.

Bandoleros were out next and it was No. 09 Dawson Moore, No. 48 Gabbie Dubeau, and No. 84 Levi Dubeau battling it out. Dubeau was out front for the whole caution-free race and brought it home for the win. She was followed by Levi and Dawson.

Up next were the Compacts. No. K9 Kyle Kulp and No. 41 Austin Wright began to pull away from the rest of the pack until the caution came out. On the restart No. 511 Kory Kulp jumped out front and soon pulled away from the pack. As the checkered flag fell it was Austin, Kory, and Kyle.

The Thunderstocks were out next with No. 10 Tommy Murphy, No. X1 Jerry McMaster and No. 26 Hunter Street battling it out. McMaster and Street were running hard bumper to bumper. As they came around for the final lap McMaster and Street got tangled together and smoke filled the air. Then coming thru the smoke and the win was Murphy followed by Carpenter and McMaster.

Next up were the fast and furious Legends as twenty cars rolled onto the track. No. 8 Shane McGee, No. 308B Ethan McMillon, No. A1 Chris Freeland, No. 50 Michael Dabney, and No. 7 Hunter Lewis were putting on a show in this three caution flags race. Dabney pretty much led the whole race and had some stiff competition from Lewis. When the checkered flag fell it was Dabney, Lewis, and McMillon.

Closing out the night was the Bumper to Bumper Pro Late Models Firecracker 50. No. 1 Mike Garvey jumped out front in this one and was the one to beat. No. 8 Brandon Kent, No. 7 Kody Brusso, No. 115 Ryan Humphrey, and No. 14 Chris Davidson were all in the top mix as fifteen cars battled. Kent and Brusso were running hard against each other and on the final lap as they came across the finish line Brusso edged out Kent by mere inches. The winner of the $5,000 top prize went to Garvey. He was followed by Davidson, Brusso, and Kent.

The “Rev” will be taking off during the month of July allowing drivers and fans a break from having to be out in the hot weather. The next race will be on Saturday, Aug. 9. Running that day will be the Bandos, Legends, Thunderstocks, Factory Stocks, Compacts, and the Bumper to Bumper Late Models.
