Meziere Leads Winners at Pennington Single Shot Showdown

Thirteen racers cashed in at the Inaugural Pennington Bros. Single Shot Showdown at Xtreme Raceway Park.

FERRIS, TX- The Inaugural Pennington Bros. Single Shot Showdown was held on June 20-22, 2024, at Xtreme Raceway Park. This action-packed event featured a $5K Thursday Warm-up, $10K Super Pro races, and $2,500-to-win No-Box.

But that wasn’t all—the excitement continued with additional events such as the Jr. Dragster Gamblers Races, the Friday $2K Duck Race, and the Saturday night Old School $10K. Junior Dragster racers also had their moment to shine with a $500-to-win main event race on Saturday.

With this race, the Pennington Bros. went back to the basics with 100% guaranteed purses, no minimum car count, no doubles, and drivers could only compete in one class at a time.

See results below!

Thursday Results

$5K Warm Up

Day #1 of the Inaugural Pennington Productions Single Shot Showdown featured a $5K Warm-up race. The old school no double format made for a great time, with the first round starting at 3pm and the final completed just as the sun was disappearing on the Texas horizon.

The semi-final round was absolutely insane, with Donny Burleson laying down 2 total next to Chad Sandlin’s 4 total, while Ty Farmer let go .001 for the third straight round to stop Derrick Patton, who was driving Chris Gulitti’s dragster.

In the final, Donny B. became the very first Pennington Productions race winner when his 1 above lap was enough to force Farmer under the dial.

No-Box

Kenny Teer captured the Thursday No-Box win.

Jr. Dragster Gamblers Race

In Thursday’s Jr. Dragster Gamblers race, Jaley Jones defeated Blaine Carrell to earn the final round win.
