FOUNDATION
FOUNDATION
Abulldozer can move massive amounts of earth. Roots and rocks are scooped aside to clear and level a piece of land, to prepare it for a foundation that will support a structure built to stand far into the future. We can develop a strong spiritual foundation for our future if we rely on the power of God to help us clear out the obstructing roots and rocks of our past so we can have a level start. Worship each week and discover His power to help you begin a new life built on the foundation of love and hope for the future. “Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm.” 2 Timothy 2:19 09/12/2023 11:00 PM

Fan Appreciation Night at Elk City Motorsports Park
Fan Appreciation Night at Elk City Motorsports Park
In addition to some great competition, the crowd of almost 400 newborns to 80 year olds enjoyed a 'Meet & Greet' with the racers on the front stretch. For over 30 minutes during the intermission, kids and adults collected candy, sponsor swag, t-shirts and autographs from their favorite drivers. The event was a huge success as we saw lots of big smiles from fans and teams alike. RESULTS: Clinton, Oklahoma's Robert Elliott dominated the 20 lap, Sooner Ltd. Modified Series feature. Starting on the pole in front of 18 entries, Elliott drove the #09 into the lead at the drop of the green flag and never relinquished the position, finishing 1.4 seconds ahead of 2nd place Austin Bonner. A veteran racer with numerous wins and thousands of laps under his belt, this was Robert's 2nd victory at Elk City Motorsports Park since the track reopened last year. In addition to his success with this regional series, Elliott also sits 5th in USRA Ltd. Mod. championship points out of 47 competitors at the track. After a string of bad luck earlier in the season, Crawford, Oklahoma's Adam Pearson is on a roll in the ECMP Factory Stock division. Right at the start, Pearson charged into the lead from his 2nd place starting position and had to fight off Altus's #3L, Chris Linares (finished 2nd) and Elk City's Darren Stehr (3rd place) late in the race to snag his 2nd win of the year at ECMP. The victory is Adam's 2nd in a row after another hard fought win on Aug.18th. After9events,Adamcurrently sits 4th (out of 60 racers) in the ECMP Factory Stock championship points. In the USRA Tuner class, the current division points leader from Iowa Park, TX, Kollin Teafatiller in the #14K, continued to flex his dominance over consistent second place finisher, Michael Reyes, out of Shamrock, TX. The teenager Teafatiller wired the field, leading all laps to add to his points lead. 09/05/2023 10:00 PM
