ADEL, GA – Despite disruptive rain and mist delays, SFG Promotions successfully awarded over $100,000 in prizes last weekend to racers across the country at the SFG- FTI World Series of Bracket Racing at South Georgia Motorsports Park.

With the completion of this event, just one more SFG event remains in Kyle Riley’s (founder of SFG) 2020 campaign to give bracket racers the highest payouts possible for minimal entry fees. The final event is the Hansen Global- SFG Christmas Bracket Bash at Bradenton Motorsports Park, which offers over $122,500 in winner payouts.

Free $10K Race Results

In the first completed race of the week (the free $10,000-to-win race), Jesse Garcia beat Lester Adkins while leaving off of the bottom bulb.

In the finals, Garcia made a dead-on 6.676 run on a 6.67 dial-in; Adkins also ran a dead-on 4.648 on a 4.64 dial-in beside him, but couldn’t quite get there after Garcia’s abundant starting line advantage.

Inclement Weather Yields Increased Top Prize

Due to weather, the two $20,000-to-win events sponsored by Fueltech and Hansen Global were combined into one $40,000-to-win event. Howard Westbury took the combined $40,000 prize after Dangerous Don Hansen red light by -.017 seconds in the final round. 

During his winners circle interview, Westbury thanked Kyle Riley and SFG Promotions for their support of bracket racers and urged more sponsors to get on board with the race series. Westbury made this plea just moments after giving Riley as smooch as jokingly promised earlier if he were to win.

Darrel Pittman and Caleb Ellison were semifinalists in the event, while Kevin Rodden, Lester Adkins and Andrew Davis made quarterfinal appearances.

ABOUT SFG PROMOTIONS, INC: SFG is the brainchild of racer and promoter, Kyle Riley. “I had a vision to offer racers the chance to race for big money that the average racer could not afford, but I give God all the credit for the idea because it was sent from God,” states Riley (SFG stands for Sent From God). Riley adds, “until SFG came about, your average racer couldn’t afford the chance to run for $50k or $100k because it was out of their price range.

I wanted your everyday bracket racer to know what it feels like to stage up for that kind of money. A lot of people think I’m crazy, but I’ve always felt it’s better to give than to receive. The racers have really supported SFG in its first years, so I want to show them that I really appreciate their support so I raised the payouts and lowered the entry fees. Everyone will see the better SFG does the more the racer will benefit from our success.”
