BYHALIA, MISSISSIPPI - Dacosa Speedway hosted the Sixth Annual Dynamic Electric Firecracker Shootout over the July 4th weekend as racers converged on the 1/4-mile paved oval looking to make fireworks of their own. Practice was held on Friday the 4th so racers who had never been to the fast tri-oval could get some valuable seat time. Practice on Saturday was briefly interrupted by a stray shower that found its way to the track in the late morning but the pavement quickly dried – an advantage of racing on pavement - and practice resumed. As qualifying rolled on, a few ominous clouds rolled in and the rain followed – just after qualifying was completed. Trucks and cars circled the track in a drying effort but the occasional sprinkle made it impossible to completely dry. The track promoter, Dallas Schwerin, called the race for the night and went to Plan B – the scheduled rain-out date set for early Sunday morning. But, as promised, the fireworks show did happen on Saturday night, a major attraction to this event.

By the way, the winner of the Senior Champ and Senior Animal Champ class each won a body and complete graphics package from Wilson Motorsports, X-Ray Bodz, and Hanson Graphics (valued at $200.00 each).  The winner of the Sportsman Champ 2 class won a tool holder, courtesy of Racing Race Products (valued at $250.00).  The winner of Junior 1 and Junior 2 each won a chain guard from Racing Race Products.  Also, Junior 1, Junior 2, Junior 3, and Sportsman Champ 2, each won an extra $100 for first and $50 for second place.
