Our 1st 2025 trip to Newport Speedway on May17th saw Keith Norville "the Auctioneer" out-duel Jesse Martin on the last lap, after Norville's Chevy II spun earlier. Norville had a flat tire, he got it changed under caution, & restarted at the rear. Drivers and fans said that this was the most exciting race of the nite.
