Thank you!
Thank you to all of our great race fans, drivers, staff, and everyone else that came out last night for the USCS Racing Rumble at the River.
Almost immediately after posting a video that we were racing, a stray pop-up shower appeared out of nowhere and hit us with a hard rain for around 15 minutes. The track overcame, and with the help of all of the 4-wheelers, push trucks, and everyone else that helped re-work the track we were able to get this great show in.
We saw great racing and threw the final checkered flag right around 11:30pm after starting right at an hour behind schedule.
Congratulations to all of our winners!

Great racing from this division and we hope to see them back really soon.

Eddie Gallagher would hold to score his fifth win of the season at Riverside and seventh total on the season.

20 Black Oak Gin 600 Mini Sprints signed in for action on the night. Columbus, MS driver Bobby Zaiontz would get an early lead and never look back as he would lead all 20 laps to secure his second win in a row at the famed 1/4 mile.

Eddie Gallagher would be crowned "King" during the Inaugural King of Memphis on Saturday night. In a race that featured two Mid-South legends starting at the tail end of a 30-lap Winged Sprint Car Main Event.
Eddie Gallagher and Sammy Swindell, two of Riverside's all-time greatest Sprint Car drivers competed in a unique head-to-head style main event, the first of its kind at the famous historic speedway. The two would start at the tail-end of a 30-car main event to close out the 2023 and whomever could finish the best would be named king.
The race created two unique storylines, the race itself which featured the likes of Brad Bowden, Dale Howard, Derek Hagar, and many more great talents throughout the field. Bowden would jump out and lead the opening 20-Laps in the Ronny Howard Racing #44b. Gallagher made it clear quickly that he was going towards the front. He would pass several cars on the opening lap putting a bit of distance between him and Swindell. Swindell would eventually run down Gallagher and was once able to overtake the advantage between the two. Gallagher would find his way back around Swindell and eventually work his way up to position eight, good enough to earn him the belt, crown, and title "King of Memphis".
Meanwhile up front, Bowden would lead the opening twenty circuits before Marion, Arkansas driver Derek Hagar driving the Blackjack Express #29 was able to find his way around in lap traffic. Hagar would clinch season win #20 in the process. Tucker Boulton, Dale Howard, and Conner Wray would complete the top-five.
