From DirtonDirt.com reports

GLENCOE, Ala. (Nov. 22-23) — Georgia drivers Tony Knowles of Tyrone and Clint Smith of Senoia raced to unsanctioned victories worth $2,500 apiece on the season-ending weekend at Green Valley Speedway. Knowles won Saturday's feature from the pole position while Smith started outside the front row and raced to victory in Sunday's feature. | Slideshow

Sunday's race was marred by Byron Michael's hard turn-three accident, a lap-19 wreck that forced an early ending to the scheduled 30-lapper. Michael, the two-time and reigning Southern Regional Racing Series champion, was hospitalized following the accident but apparently suffered no major injures, according to SRRS director of competition John Mosier.

Notes: Knowles drives a Rocket Chassis sponsored by RSD Enterprises, SAE Parts, GW Performance and Hunter Electric. ... Smith drives a GRT Race Car sponsored by J.P. Drilling and Cliburn Tank Lines. ... Smith was making his 110th start of the season, perhaps the most starts of any Dirt Late Model racer in 2008. ... Smith was using a brace on his right wrist, which had a cast on it several weeks since a Sept. 6 accident at Ohio's Eldora Speedway. ... Chris Jones flipped in a Saturday consolation race accident; he wasn't seriously injured. ... David Gentry won Saturday's Crate feature and Jason Hiett won Sunday's Crate feature. ... Dingus Griffin lowered his own 2-year-old track record in Sunday's qualifying with a 13.904-second lap. He finished eighth in the main event.
