Coeburn, Virginia (June 1, 2025) – Despite a moderately uncertain forecast, the Super Cup Stock Car Series and Lonesome Pine Motorsports Park staff optimistically pressed forward with Saturday’s Fan Appreciation Night festivities.  With sunny skies throughout the afternoon, the outlook seemed promising.

Hometown driver Mitch Gibson, with guidance from another popular and successful racer in the area from years past Caleb Holman on hand as crew chief, paced both practice sessions and then set fast time in the No. 35 Moyer Brothers Company / LDW Technologies / Amsoil / Jeffrey Salyers Realty / Big City Band / 3000channels.com / Ashton Racing Ford.  The Virginian became the second consecutive first-time Pole Award winner of the season, circulating the 3/8-mile oval in 17.127 seconds and netting him five bonus points.

SCSCS to Put On a Show in Appreciation for the Fans at Lonesome Pine

Statesville, North Carolina (May 29, 2025) – Following an earlier in the month rainout, Fan Appreciation Night will bring back the Super Cup Stock Car Series for another invite to Coeburn, Virginia.  Lonesome Pine Motorsports Park has played host the past two seasons as well as some memorable races in the mid-2010s and each of the first three years of the series’ existence.

The most familiar among the local spectators may be a driver that does not have any past SCSCS starts at the 3/8-mile oval but has many laps of competition there.  Mitch Gibson grew up in Coeburn, Virginia, involved in racing as a teenager assisting as a crew member for various nearby teams such as Henderson Motorsports, Morgan-McClure Motorsports, and former NASCAR Xfinity Series rookie of the year Danny O’Quinn during his time in the Pro Cup Series.  The experience gained culminated with a Late Model championship in the driver seat at his home track during their 2022 season.  Gibson finished second in one of the races during his SCSCS debut weekend at Kingsport Speedway, putting him third in the current standings early on, and would like nothing more than to break into victory lane in front of friends and family.

Brent Nelson and Family Team Finally Overcome Years of Gremlins to Be Named Super Cup Stock Car Series Champion

Statesville, North Carolina (October 15, 2024) – Seven times in the past 10 seasons, Brent Nelson finished second or third in the final overall Super Cup Stock Car Series point standings.  He led the way on multiple occasions during the beginning or middle stages of various years, having accumulated statistics that now top the all-time leaderboard in numerous different categories.  Despite their best endeavors preparing in the Petersburg, West Virginia shop during offseason months and between races, something always unexpectedly got in the Nelson Motorsports team’s way at some point.

That is, until 2024.  Nelson completed every single one of the possible laps, leading more than 80 percent of them, and winning five times which matched his total from 2023.  It was more than enough to hoist the long-awaited championship trophy during the annual season-ending Awards Presentation that took place following racing festivities at Lonesome Pine Motorsports Park in Coeburn, Virginia.
