Maughan retakes points lead in AMS series

On a night when William Hung brought his song stylings to Atlanta Motor Speedway, the racers in the Thursday Thunder racing series gave the fans a lot to cheer about as well.

Among the local racers who performed well were Fayetteville’s Trey Maughan who won his second Outlaw race of the year and retook the points lead, Peachtree City’s Ed Clark, third in Roadsters and 10th in Masters, Senoia’s Tina Johnson, third in Outlaws, Brooks’ Vince Ponder, fourth in Outlaws, Fayetteville’s Gene Redahan, seventh in Chargers and Fayetteville’s Bre Sharp, 11th in Young Guns.

Some of the most recognizable mascots in Atlanta will be at AMS, including Freddie Falcon, Skyhawk, Papa John’s Pizza Slice, Arby’s Oven Mitt, Speedy Beaver and AMS’ own Monkey Wrench. The mascots will pose for photos, sign autographs and take part in a fun obstacle course race for the fans at intermission.
