Mike Benedum Attends Golden Isles Nationals
On Tuesday night Mike Benedum made the trip to Golden Isles Speedway (Brunswick, Ga.) to kick off the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) Reopening Tour. With 43 cars on hand for the Optima Batteries Golden Isles Nationals, Benedum recorded the 19th fastest time in his qualifying group but suffered a broken rear-end in his heat, forcing him to scratch from his B-Main.

The following night for another $7,000-to-win A-Main, Benedum ran into issues with his transmission that prevented him in competing in his time trial session and heat race.
For the final round of the Golden Isles Nationals on Thursday evening, Mike came two spots short of a transfer position in his heat with a sixth place finish. Grabbing the third and final transfer position in his B-Main, Benedum locked into the 21st-starting position for the finale. With $7,000 on the line, Mike Benedum gained one spot in the 40-lapper to place 20th.
