Travis Pennington, the unjustly jailed young racing star, has been transferred to the Irwin County jail in south Georgia. Hopefully the move won't affect his support team of family, fans, and friends, but it is now 220 miles each way for the allowed one-hour weekly visits. Jeffry Scott, in the The Atlanta Journal-Constitution 4/22, has a long story about the Georgia teens who are being trapped by harsh laws and youthful stupidity. Former DeKalb DA J. Tom Morgan, who has shown an interest in Pennington's case, is quoted. http://www.ajc.com/news/atlanta-schools-parents-and-482243.html

Chase Elliott scored one of the biggest wins of his young career capturing the Monolith Companies 100 Pro Late Model race Saturday at Gresham Motorsports Park. The 14-year-old saw his strongest challengers self destruct in the 100-lap event. In the end, Elliott still had the best car and roared away to a half-lap lead over Johnny Henderson, Nick Potts, Gene Kirila and Kevin Stephens. Elliott was awesome all day at or near the top of the leader board in practice before just losing the pole to his teammate, Casey Roderick, but a scant three one-thousandths of a second (16.485-16.488). Elliott saw his competition fall by the wayside as Dwayne Buggay slammed the Turn 4 wall on Lap 58 and Roderick tangled with T.J. Reaid on Lap 65. That left Beau Slocumb as Elliott's main challenger and he fell out of contention when he jumped the green flag on a Lap 68 restart. That left Elliott to cruise away from the field and score his first-ever Gresham Motorsports Park victory. In the Outlaw Late Model division, Mike Davidson ended Jason Bates' two-race win streak winning in a three-wide battle with David Murphy at the checkered flag. Brian Huff made his first GMP appearance of the season a profitable one beating Brittany Finley, Bill Hoose, Joel Townsend, and Branden Frankin in the 35-lap Truck Series finale. Steve Hill from Jefferson scored his first Mini Stock win besting Ken Candiotti, Tim Greer, Bill George and Spanky Hicks. Next: CARQUEST 100 Pro Late Model event and Georgia Racing Hall of Fame Night on Saturday, May 15.
