GULFPORT, Miss. – Event 1 of the BTE King of the Coast bracket series is in the books. Hundreds of racers from across the south descended upon Gulfport Dragway for the first event in the six-race series.

The BTE KOC Series, one of the longest running bracket series in the south, continues to draw big crowds. The 3-day event drew over 200 participants for the 2019 kickoff.

Matthew Richard collected the first paycheck of the weekend winning the Friday night Gamblers race. Richard defeated Larry Sequin in the final round. AJ Ashe and Trampus Stewart were semifinalists.

After a late start and a major oil down on Saturday, racing was stopped around 10 PM due to dense fog. The schedule was to pick up with the 3rd round of Electronics on Sunday morning. Once again weather delays forced a change of schedule with Saturday’s purse being split between the remaining racers in Electronics, Footbrake, and Sportsman.

With Day 2 wiped out, racers moved into Day 3 racing action.
