KENNEDALE, Texas — While most of us are consumed and entertained by all of the “big car” classes we see each week, like Late Models, Modifieds and Stock Cars, there’s plenty of action to see in the other various “small car” divisions, as well.  For 29-year-old racer Chance Hull, it’s the Dwarf car world that…

KILGORE, Texas — While we’ve been looking at various drivers in the open-wheel ranks as they get set for battle this season, there are dozens if not hundreds of Factory stock teams across Texas doing the same thing.

SEGUIN, Texas — Some years, a racer just doesn’t get to race as often as he’d like.
