After a rough start to the 2009 season at the Golden Isles Speedway and March Madness at Cherokee Speedway, Brent Dixon will head to Lavonia Speedway on Friday, March 20, 2009 and Saturday, March 21, 2009. 

Dixon began the 2009 season with a bumpy start at the SuperBowl of Racing 5 at Golden Isles Speedway.  During the first night at GIS, Dixon hit the wall coming out of turn four during qualifying and was unable to compete for the remainder of the event.  During March Madness at Cherokee Speedway, Dixon's bad luck continued when he was involved with an heat race incident with the 42 of Terry Casey.  Dixon took a provisional starting position to start the 60 lap O'Reilly Southern All Stars East event. 

Dixon plans on putting the bad luck behind him this weekend and move on to the O'Reilly Southern All Stars event at Lavonia Speedway for $5,000-to-win 50 lap event.  Dixon will head to the speedway on Friday, March 20, 2009 for practice and to get the car set up for Saturday's competition.  On Saturday, Dixon will compete in the 50 lap event at the speedway. 

Check back after this weekend's event at Lavonia Speedway for information and updates on Brent's progress and other updates on the 2009 racing season.

Brent Dixon Dixon Suffers Injury at Lavonia Speedway

Brent Dixon showed up at Lavonia Speedway on Saturday, March 22, 2008 for the $5,000-to-win O'Reilly Southern All Stars event; however, while unloading the car Brent suffered from a pulled muscle in his ribs.  Dixon, who had recently "unofficially" set a new track record during a practice session was geared up to compete and was looking forward to a good run at Lavonia Speedway, but after suffering the injury he decided that it was not a good idea to compete in Saturday's event.  

Brent is currently resting and hopes to get back into his number 1 machine soon and continue onward with the 2008 season.  The next scheduled event for the 2008 season for Brent and the number 1 team is the Carolina Clash event on March 29, 2008 at Gordon Park Speedway in Grovetown, GA.  Brent says that he still plans to compete in the March 29, 2008 event, but will make the determination as the event gets closer.
