Henderson
Caps Off Weekend with Cherokee Top Ten
(March
6, 2023) John Henderson Racing ventured to a trio of
different dirt venues from March 3-5 for high-profile events.
The tripleheader kicked off with a pair of $10,053 to win Schaeffer's
Oil Spring Nationals Series showdowns at Swainsboro Raceway in
Swainsboro, Georgia and Senoia Raceway in Senoia, Georgia. On
Friday night at Swainsboro, John Henderson placed fifth in his
heat race and second in his B-Main before an early wreck in the
53-lap feature dropped him to sixteenth in the final rundown.
At Senoia on Saturday, John timed in fourth quickest in Group
B during the qualifying session, but ultra-rough track conditions
caused the #2X to load up and John scratched from the event.
The triple shot then concluded on Sunday afternoon with the 21st
edition of 'March Madness' at the renowned Cherokee Speedway in
Gaffney, South Carolina. John clicked off the seventh fastest
lap in Group A during Southern All Stars Dirt Racing Series (SAS)
time trials prior to finishing sixth in heat race action. The
North Augusta, South Carolina ace then improved eleven spots during
the course of the $20,000 to win feature to leave Cherokee with
a hard fought tenth place performance. Complete results from all
three races can be found online at www.southernnationalsseries.com

(February 10, 2023) The penultimate event of
the 47th edition of the 'Winternationals' attracted a standing-room-only
crowd tonight at East Bay Raceway Park in Gibsonton, Florida.
A total of 62 Super Late Model competitors piled into the pit
area at the Tampa-area facility to do battle for the $12,000 first
place prize money. John Henderson slipped to ninth in his loaded
heat race and ultimately scratched from his B-Main, which unfortunately
kept him out of the 50-lap headliner that was won by Hudson O'Neal.
(February 9, 2023) A $10,000 top prize was up
for grabs in the fourth round of 'Winternationals' competition
tonight at the track deemed as the "Clay by the Bay."
To start things off in Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series time trials
at East Bay Raceway Park, John Henderson laid down the second
quickest lap in Group A. After securing an impressive heat race
triumph, John unfortunately suffered overheating woes near the
halfway mark in the 40-lapper and was relegated to a disappointing
twenty-fourth place effort.
(February 8, 2023) Night three of the 47th Annual
'Winternationals' at East Bay Raceway Park took center stage tonight
in the Tampa area, as a $7,000 to win program was held for the
ground-pounding Super Late Models. John Henderson was back behind
the wheel of his #2X Warrior racecar, but unfortunately could
not advance into the 40-lap main event after slipping to tenth
in his heat race and opting to scratch from his consolation event.
(February 7, 2023) Round two of the 'Winternationals'
took place earlier this evening at East Bay Raceway Park in Gibsonton,
Florida. A total of 60 Super Late Model entrants signed into the
"Clay by the Bay" and a $5,000 winner's check was on
the line. Brandon Overton was once again behind the wheel of John
Henderson's #2X machine tonight and knocked down the sixth fastest
lap in Group B during Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series time trials.
After securing another heat race triumph, Brandon steered the
Warrior racecar to a second straight fourth place performance
in the 30-lapper behind only race winner Ashton Winger, Hudson
O'Neal, and Brandon Sheppard!
(February 6, 2023) The 47th edition of the 'Winternationals'
kicked off tonight at East Bay Raceway Park, as the Lucas Oil
Late Model Dirt Series sanctioned a $5,000 to win showdown. Brandon
Overton piloted the TwoX Motorsports ride tonight at the "Clay
by the Bay" and promptly timed in third quickest in Group
A during qualifying before winning his heat race. Brandon then
moved up to as high as second in the running order of the 30-lap
feature before placing fourth at the checkers behind only victor
Tyler Erb, Hudson O'Neal, and Tyler Millwood!

(January

wrapped up in a big way tonight at Golden Isles Speedway, as a
whopping $25,000 winner's check was on the line at the Brunswick,
Georgia-area speedplant. John Henderson stopped the clock eighth
quickest in Group B during the qualifying session and later grabbed
the third and final transfer spot through his stacked heat race.
After starting the 60-lap headliner from the outside of the eighth
row, John was unfortunately caught up in an opening lap tangle
and was forced to retire with damage to his #2X machine, which
dropped him to a twenty-sixth place effort. (Chris

(January 27, 2023) Night two of the 'Super Bowl
of Racing' was held tonight at Golden Isles Speedway and the 51
Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series competitors on the grounds at
the Brunswick, Georgia-area facility were gunning for a $12,000
paycheck. John Henderson clicked off the sixth fastest lap in
Group B during the qualifying session prior to placing fourth
in both his heat race and his B-Main. Unfortunately both of those
finishes narrowly kept the North Augusta, South Carolina driver
out of the 50-lap main event that was eventually won in dramatic
fashion by Kyle Larson.
(January 26, 2023) Following a short off-season,
John Henderson Racing lifted the lid to their 2023 campaign earlier
tonight in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series opener at Golden
Isles Speedway near Brunswick, Georgia. The first round of the
'Super Bowl of Racing' drew 50 entrants to GIS to vie for the

the qualifying session before placing seventh in his stacked heat
race and ninth in his B-Main. Unfortunately, John was unable to
make the start in the 40-lap feature that was ultimately won by

(September
11, 2022) John Henderson Racing made the trek to the
famed Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio from September 7-10 for
the 52nd Annual 'World 100.' The four-day extravaganza started
on Wednesday night with a special 'Chasing the Dream' show for
all entered drivers that had never won a feature at the 1/2-mile
speedplant. John Henderson laid down the eighth quickest time
in his group during qualifying, which earned him the outside of
the fourth row for the start of his 20-lap main event. With a
$5,000 paycheck on the line, John was able to bring home a solid
tenth place performance in the race that was won by Ryan Gustin.
The 'World 100' then took center stage at the "Big E,"
as the most prestigious event in the Dirt Late Model industry
started with a pair of $12,000 to win Twin 25 preliminary programs.
John was unfortunately unable to transfer into either 25-lap feature
after running eleventh in his heat race and thirteenth in his
B-Main on Thursday and finishing seventh in both his heat race
and his B-Main on Friday. When Saturday evening rolled around
at Eldora Speedway, all eyes were fixated on who would walk away
with the $55,000 top prize and the famous globe trophy. The North
Augusta, South Carolina driver placed eleventh in his stacked
heat race and sixteenth in his B-Main, but was unable to make
the start in the 100-lap crown jewel headliner. Complete results
