Friday Super Bucks Showdown Main Event Results
Weather played a big factor in this year’s Super Bucks Showdown at Xtreme Raceway Park in Texas, and forced the Pennington Productions crew into making some format adjustments. The Thursday $20K was still to be completed on Friday, as well as the now $40K Main Event as the Friday & Saturday $20 Granders were combined due to weather advancing into the area. Kansas racer Jonathan Maugans absolutely stole the show with his Second-Gen Camaro. Maugans won the No Box portion of both Main Events, then proceeded to drive down to the Semis of the $20K, and then the Final Round of the $40K against the Dragster of Texas racer Ryan Miller. The $40K Final would be a solid race with Miller taking the Top Prize with a 017 RT and 1 Above Lap (4.661 on 4.65 Dial). Maugans would end up with a $40K Runner-Up & $20K Semi-Final to go along with both No Box Wins, an incredible day at the races. The $20K Main Event saw famed NHRA & Big Money Bracket Racer Tommy Phillips score the Win in his 3rd Gen Firebird over Billy Simpson’s Texas-based Shorty Dragster by a Margin of Victory totaling one ten-thousandth of a second (.0001). This was another job well done by the Pennington Productions crew. They are going to attempt a $7500 Gamblers Race on Saturday, weather permitting.

Thursday Update
Rain cut short Day 1 of the Super Bucks Showdown at Xtreme Raceway Park. The $20K Main Event was a few pairs short of completing Round 3 Eliminations.
