The question is: who has the advantage at the high-banked, four-tenths-mile oval? The statistics would seem to favor Richards, the 22-year-old sensation from Shinnston, W.Va., who leads the WoO LMS standings by 22 points over Union, Ky.’s Lanigan entering the season-ending World Finals spectacular. Richards has three wins, seven top-five and 10 top-10 finishes in the 13 WoO LMS events contested since 2007 at The Dirt Track, while Lanigan’s more modest performance record covering the same races shows no wins, five top-five and seven top-10 finishes. But numbers don’t necessarily tell the whole story in the Richards/Lanigan showdown, which has a $100,000 champion’s prize riding on its result. Richards, the defending WoO LMS titlist, knows history won’t be the determining factor in the razor-close points race. “Anything can happen at Charlotte,” said Richards, who won the tour’s last event at The Dirt Track on Oct. 13, for his series-leading eighth triumph of 2010. www.charlottemotorspeedway.com www.worldofoutlaws.com All five local divisions at Boyd's Speedway closed out the 2010 Points Championship with a full slate of regular racing. Defending and now two-time Steel-Head Late Model Champion Rick Hixson finished off the season winning the 25 lap, $1,000 to-WIN "A" Main Feature race Friday night taking on 15 other top drivers. Jake Knowles (driving Richard Austin's # A19) seem to have things well in hand, til he made contact with back-marker Jimmy Elliott down the back-stretch. The lead duo made contact in turn-one, ending Knowles night, which gave Hixson the lead. Hixson had no problems pulling away from 1999 S.A.S Champion Jamie Perry for the trip to Victory Lane. Josh Collins was third with Billy Ogle Jr. fourth. Visiting Alabamian T.J. Alford rounded out the Top-5. In the Crate LM 20-lapper, Ronnie Johnson pressured leader Jeff Smith lap after lap, but to no-avail as the Villanow, GA, racer took his (self proclaimed) 24th win of the season. Behind RJ was newly crowned 2010 Crate LM champion Craig Burrows, Jerry Coffman, and last week's winner Jason Welshan. In the A-Hobby feature Gene Dover made the HAT-TRICK with his 3rd consecutive win. Blake Armitage was 2nd, Patrick Wilson 3rd, Gary Johnson 4th, and Robbie Green 5th. In the B-Hobby it was Dallas Brooks with his 2nd career feature win, while James Dykes and Tommy Gilbert took the 15-lap FWD finale down to the wire. Gilbert was victorious with Dykes 2nd. Finishing 3rd was newly-crowned points champion Michael Arp, with Derrick Forgey and Matt Patton rounding out the Top-5 finishers. http://www.boydsspeedway.com/ Ray Cook’s Tarheel 50 will invade the 1/3 mile oval of Boyd’s Speedway in Ringgold, GA, for a $4,000 to win main event Friday, Nov. 5.

The event is 150 laps, 2 1/2 hour maximum or down to the last car running, whichever comes first. The race progresses despite wrecked and out of service vehicles littering the track, which becomes an obstacle course for drivers. Spins, crashes and "rubbing" are common. As the race progresses, the course becomes treacherous. When a car is wrecked or disabled, a red flag is thrown to allow the driver to exit the track, but the car is left on the speedway. With limits on the suspension and engine modifications, there's a finite amount of money you can spend on a car, which levels the playing field for the drivers. The average starting field of an Enduro race consists of about 50 cars, which are lined up on the speedway, 3 or 4 cars wide. www.andersonmotorspeedway.com
