Tony Farmer & Chad Broom Collect Big Wins at Big Country
ABILENE, Texas – The 6th Annual Thanksgiving Throwdown wrapped up over the weekend with a number of racers collecting huge paydays at Big Country Race Way. The SDPC Raceshop sponsored big money bracket race weekend paid $7,500 to win on Friday and Saturday in Super Pro, $3,000 to win each day in No Box, and $400 each day in the Jr. Dragster class. The event also featured 32 Car Shootout’s for Super Pro and No Box on Friday night.
The event was well attended as according to the track’s Facebook page they ran almost 2,000 pairs down the track over the two-day event.
Big winners from the weekend included Tony Farmer and Chad Broom who each collected a big check in Super Pro. Farmer’s win was especially emotional as he lost his father Jimmy just one week prior to the event. Jace Head was the weekend MVP after winner the Jr. Dragster class both days.
Other notables from the event included Mad Max McGlothin doing what he does best by winning No Box in the Luv truck on Saturday night while another top racer Jeff Hefler made yet another No Box final round (he made 3 finals at the recently completed Cowpasture Nationals) taking runner-up honors on Friday night.
