Goble To Compete in Four Races and Attempt to Break Hornets Division Career Wins Mark Saturday at South Boston Speedway

SOUTH BOSTON, VA (June 3, 2025) – It is rare that a driver would attempt to compete in four races across two racing divisions in one night, but Cameron Goble will be tackling that task when NASCAR racing returns to South Boston Speedway on Saturday night, June 7 for the God’s Pit Crew Race Night event.


The Ringgold, Virginia resident will compete in the twin 30-lap Budweiser Limited Sportsman Division races and the twin 15-lap Dollar General Hornets Division races that will be part of the night’s seven-race card.


“I believe someone has done it in the past,” Goble noted, “but if nobody has done it, it makes it more cool. I’ve never seen anyone do it. The only person I can think of that may have done it is Nathan Crews. I know he has done a lot of double duty. I think I’ll have a lot of fun. I’m in a great position to do it.”


Crews, a former Southside Disposal Pure Stock Division champion, who also formerly raced in the track’s Sentara Health Late Model Stock Car Division and now competes in the track’s Budweiser Limited Sportsman Division, competed in four races in one night across two different divisions on at least one occasion several years ago and won two races in one night.


Goble admits competing in four races in one night will be both fun and challenging.


“I think it’s going to be one of the most fun times I’m ever going to have in a racecar,” he remarked. “I don’t think I’m going to have that opportunity too often. It will be challenging. It’s going to be a tiring night. Getting out of one car and getting into the other is a struggle. It’s a lot to juggle.”


Goble will be seeking to tie and break the mark for the most career wins in the Dollar General Hornets Division when he competes in the division’s twin 15-lap races. He enters this weekend’s event with nine career wins in the Dollar General Hornets Division, one win shy of the 10 career wins that Kevin Currin and Josh Dawson have in the division.




“I want that record so badly,” Goble remarked. “I’ve set records in that class and have had great success in it. I think that (the most career wins) is the number one record, even above championships. If I could hold that record it would mean the world to me.”


Being the competitor that he is Goble said if he does not tie or break the record on Saturday he will try again.


“If we end up falling short, or we tie the record, I will definitely be back out there trying to get the record before the season’s over,” Goble said. “This is definitely my last season racing in the Hornets Division.”


Goble feels he is in the best position he has been in this season with his Limited Sportsman car entering the twin 30-lap Budweiser Limited Sportsman Division races. He has one Top-10 finish in his three starts in the division.


“The motor we had blew before we even made the first race,” Goble explained, “and then we rented a motor. It was a little different motor, so it changed the set-up on the car, which we didn’t know. The last couple of races we’ve run we’ve been bouncing back and forth trying to figure out what (setups) will work. I’ve got my motor back in the car now. I think we’re going to be in a lot better shape than we were before.”


Goble said his Hornets car is good. He has a win and two Top-5 finishes in his three starts this season.


“That thing is as reliable as it gets,” he pointed out. “You can jump right into a Hornets car. They change a little bit here and there, but that’s something you can adjust during practice. I hope it does its job, but that’s something we’ll have to see.”


Seven races are set for the God’s Pit Crew Race Night event with twin 75-lap races for the Sentara Health Late Model Stock Car Division headlining the night’s racing action. In addition to the twin-race events for the Sentara Health Late Model Stock Car Division, the Budweiser Limited Sportsman Division and the Dollar General Hornets Division, there will be a 25-lap race for the Southside Disposal Pure Stock Division to round out the card.


The God’s Pit Crew Race Night event will be First Responders Appreciation Night with first responders including police, fire, EMS, 911 dispatch, and healthcare workers being admitted free at the gate on race night with valid ID. A pre-race parade lap featuring police, fire and EMS vehicles will be held as part of the night’s pre-race ceremonies.


Advance adult tickets for the God’s Pit Crew Race Night event are priced at $12. Tickets at the gate on race day will be $15 each. Suite tickets are available for $40 each. Seniors ages 65 and older, military personnel, and students (with ID) can purchase tickets for $12 each at the gate only on the day of the event.


The tentative race-day schedule has registration and pit gates opening at 2 p.m. and practice starting at 3:25 p.m. Frontstretch grandstand gates open at 3:30 p.m. and backstretch and Turn 4 trackside parking gates open at 5:30 p.m. Qualifying starts at 6 p.m. and the first race of the night will get the green flag at 7 p.m.
