May 5th, 2012 - On Saturday night the team rolled into Ark-La-Tex Speedway
April 14th, 2012 - Saturday night found the team making the trek to Magnolia Motor Speedway (Columbus, Mississippi) for the inaugural Spring Throw Down at the 3/8 mile oval. A talented field of 43 Super Late Models entered the $8,000-to-win event, and the night would start on a rough note for Culp as difficulties in time trials left him starring eleventh on the grid for his heat race. Despite starting at the back of the field he would advance five spots on his way to a sixth place finish. While the finish didn't lock him into the feature, it did earn him the third starting spot in a b-main. Early in the b-main, he would slide backwards to as far as the sixth place finish before mounting a late-race charge through the pack. Exiting turn four on the white flag lap he raced into the fourth and final transfer spot by a matter of feet. He would start 23rd on the grid for the 50 lap feature before advancing twelve spots to an eleventh place finish at the checkered flag. Full results are available at www.MagnoliaDirt.com.
