There have been five Super Late Model shows at GHR since 2003. The majority of those, four to be exact, took place from 2003 until 2008 under the banner of the now defunct Bud I-5 touring series. Last year Trevor Glaser managed to dominate the field to earn the victory. Rob Mayea has the most victories in the modern era at GHR with three and Bob Boyd is the only other winner.
Last Saturday night Austin Kerrigan was the big winner in his Ford Mustang to be the most recent visitor to victory lane in the Cut Rate Auto Parts Street Stocks. Jason Tole still has the most wins in 2013 with five. Cory Sweatman and Jack Parshall have managed to win twice this season and after last week Sweatman has a narrow point lead.
Chad Norton still has managed to produce the most victories in the current season with three. Brian Norton and Jeff Daniel have each won twice. Willie Wright joined the 2013 list of winners last Saturday with his triumph.
