NO WAY OUT 40 - Thank You from Mason
 

I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for supporting the 14th Annual No Way Out 40, the biggest one yet! Congratulations to our top 3: Winner - CJ Leary, 2nd - Jake Swanson, 3rd - Kevin Thomas Jr.

When I began promoting in 2000, I just hoped to make it to the next weekend, let alone 22 years into the future. Promoting races and tracks is a tough business. Promoters come and go, but what remains constant is our love and support for short-track dirt racing. You all make this possible for me and I can't say thank you enough!

You drivers and fans have been so good to me and my family over the years. That support was on full display at Paragon Speedway Sunday night. We had a great crowd and a pit area full of racecars. With the circumstances surrounding and leading up to this year's event, I must say this was validation to me of your loyalty to the race I created in my living room 15 years ago.

With all of that said, I want to acknowledge that the racing action was not of the quality our fans have come to expect at the NWO40. I accept the criticism as it is warranted, but it was not from a lack of effort. Tim Keithley and crew worked their butts off to give us the best racing surface possible. Mother nature threw us a curveball, but we persevered. In hindsight, Sprints should have group qualified during hot laps. This would have spared the track from excessive laps and saved us time also. As they say, live and learn!

Finally, a huge thank you to Robert and Darrell for allowing me to hold this event at Paragon. These guys are committed to making this place an even better dirt racing destination. Please continue to support Paragon Speedway on a weekly basis this season! See you all in 2023!

Sincerely,
Mason Fleetwood
Promoter, NWO40

Thank You!!

Thank you for keeping this race going. Most of us understand the difficulties the weather threw you. Rain, Sun, and wind. Not every race is going to be the best ever. I for one will be there their next year and the year after…….good lord willing. Thanks again for all you do! :6:

Never saw the complete results anywhere. TT, heats and feature finishing order. Were they posted somewhere and I missed them?

Tim I've heard the results are on Wastebook.

Attended the event like years past and with everything considered with weather and track conditions thought everyone did a great job! Always love Paragon (minus the seating) and glad to see the event has found a new home. Show moved pretty quickly and everyone from the track officials to the concession stand workers were first class!

Paragon just got some aluminum benches with backs. Expect some changes, although I don't know if it will be this season. Lawrenceburg and Kokomo backstretch type.

Re: NO WAY OUT 40 - Thank You from Mason
 

It's more of a uneven hill issue than the actual benches.
