Geneva County’s Dawson Spivey to Make Cordele Motorsports Park Debut in Pro Late Model Race with Jett Noland Motorsports
Geneva County’s Dawson Spivey is set to take the next step in his racing career on May 31st, when he straps into the #50 Pro Late Model at Cordele Motorsports Park for the Kiwanis Club Fishing Rodeo 100. This marks Dawson’s first appearance in a Pro Late Model event and his debut at the legendary Watermelon Capital Speedway.
Spivey will be behind the wheel with Jett Noland Motorsports, a proven race team with a strong track record of wins in both Pro and Super Late Model competition. Earlier this year, the team picked up a victory at Cordele Motorsports Park and earned an impressive third-place finish in Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s CARS Tour race on April 12th. The Florida-based operation is widely respected for developing elite talent and competing at the highest levels of short track racing. This partnership marks a major opportunity for Dawson as he continues his steady rise through the ranks of grassroots motorsports.
Last season, Spivey made 12 starts in the Modified Series and several more in the Outlaw Lites Series, where he picked up multiple wins and valuable experience behind the wheel.
The event is expected to draw fans from across the region, and Dawson is encouraging all local supporters of short track racing to come out and be a part of this exciting night at the track.
“Getting to work with a team like Jett Noland Motorsports and drive at Cordele is a huge opportunity,” Spivey said. “I’m thankful for the chance to work with Jimmy Glover, Jett Noland, and the entire crew behind this operation.”
He also expressed deep gratitude to the Noland family—Greg and Lori, and their son Jett—for their support and belief in him as he prepares for one of the biggest weekends of his career.
Dawson also shared his excitement about having Travis Braden as his spotter for the event. Braden brings extensive experience from the ARCA Menards Series and is a former winner of both the Winchester 400 and the Snowball Derby—two of the most prestigious events in short track racing. Braden is currently working with Hendrick Motorsports on the #48 team, one of NASCAR’s premier organizations, further adding to the strength of the team heading into race weekend.
The Kiwanis Club Fishing Rodeo 100 will take place on Saturday, May 31st, with a full day of racing and family-friendly entertainment. Gates open early with practice and qualifying throughout the day, followed by the feature race under the lights.
