Johnny Herrera triumphs at Valley with Lucas Oil ASCS

Bryan Hulbert - GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (May 22, 2013) Going back-to-back with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV American Real, Johnny Herrera “slid” his way to the night’s Protect the Harvest A-Feature victory at the Valley Speedway in Grain Valley, Mo. following stellar battles with Danny Lasoski and Brian Brown.

“I really just started pacing it” said Herrera about the way he drove early on in his Print Place No. 45x. “.

I knew Brian Brown, or Jason Johnson, or somebody would be coming. We were holding our own and he [Lasoski] wasn’t really getting away while we were pacing. I thought the top would come in early, and tried it early in the race and didn’t go back until I heard Brian and decided I better start getting up there.”

Setting the tone during Hot Laps as the quickest car on the track, the redraw placed the Mesilla Valley Transportation No. 45x outside the front row. Diving into the first two turns, Lasoski gained the advantage over the No. 45x, only to have the red lights blink on for the No. 5m of Miranda Arnold.

The restart yielded similar results for Lasoski in the Parker/Mark Burch No. 1m, only to see the caution fly after a single lap for the stalled No. 28 of Jonathan Cornell.

Underway, Lasoski and Herrera diced it up before the Dover, Mo. shoe began pulling a sizable lead, leaving Herrera to contend with Brian Brown. Working the inside line, Herrera held the FVP/Casey’s General Store No. 21 at bay despite Brown’s best attempts.

Caution lights flashed on Lap 11 for the spun 94 of Jeff Swindell as Brown and Herrera crossed the line 0.098 second apart.

Single file to the orange cone, Lasoski continued to lead off the bottom line of the Valley Speedway with Herrera in his tracks. Working the cushion, Brown pulled even with Herrera on Lap 14; showing Herrera the groove.

Switching high, the chase was on as Herrera worked past Lasoski on Lap 17 for the race lead with Brown in tow for the runner up spot the following lap.

Slowed for the final time on Lap 23 for the flipped No. o5 of Brad Loyet, the final laps saw Herrera and Brown going slide job, for slide job nearly every lap until Herrera finally worked to a 1.021 second advantage.

Brian Brown claimed second, holding off Danny Lasoski after the final restart. Tony Bruce, Jr. and Jason Johnson completed the top five from ninth.

Logan Forler was sixth followed by Seth Bergman from eighteenth. Lucas Wolfe climbed from fourteenth to eighth with Cody Baker from twentieth and Tim Crawley from twenty-second to round out the top ten, earning the PitStopUSA.com Hard Charger of the Night.

Rod End Supply Heat one went to Brian Brown with the Ti22 Heat two scored by Miranda Arnold. BMRS Heat three was Danny Lasoski with Wyatt Burks taking Heat four powered by Wesmar. The SBI Fuel Bladder Heat five went to Tony Bruce, Jr.

The Joie of Seating B-Feature one was captured by Jonathan Cornell with Seth Bergman topping the DMI B-Feature two.

The Hawk Performance Fastest Lap of the Night was by Johnny Herrera with a 13.314 second lap.

Paired with the Speedway Motors Warrior Region, Brian Brown took high points for the region followed by Lasoski. Cody Baker earned third place points followed by Tyler Blank and Randy Hibbs.

The Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real continues on Thursday, May 23 at the I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Neb. with the Speedway Motors Midwest Region.

Herrera decimates Lucas Oil ASCS field at U.S. 36

Bryan Hulbert - CAMERON, Mo. (May 17, 2013) The term go hard, or go home is one way to describe Johnny Herrera’s performance at the U.S. 36 Raceway in Cameron, Mo. as the Albuquerque, N.M. veteran used every piece of “raceable” surface to dominate the U.S. 36 National presented by Racinboys.com; lapping all but second finishing Dustin Morgan.

A staggering 72 starts since his last Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV American Real triumph on November 11, 2011 at the Southern New Mexico Speedway in Las Cruces, N.M. the crafty veteran bolted to the race lead on the third round, working past early leader Cole Wood, through turns three and four.

“I’ve got to give a shout out to my sponsor Print Place who teamed up with me this year. If it wasn’t for Shawn [Petersen], I wouldn’t be out on the series this year so I have to give his that shout out” commented a jovial, but concerned Johnny Herrera who watched his main sponsor transported from the track to an area hospital for evaluation after flipping end over end on the start of his Heat Race.

“I hope he’s doing okay, I haven’t heard from him, but this one goes out to him and, it goes out to my wife. It was her Birthday yesterday. I wasn’t there for it so she said I better win, so, Happy Birthday honey.”

Working to the tail of the field by the fifth lap, after a pair of caution slowed the beginning of the night’s 35 lap Protect the Harvest feature event, it was a matter of running where they weren’t.

Lapping inside the top ten with eight laps remaining, Herrera worked passed the No. 17w of Cole Wood for the second time on the white flag lap, nearly finishing off the field exiting turn four for the checkered flag as the No. 93 of Dustin Morgan laid just ahead of the Print Place, MVT No. 45x.

His seventh Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV America Real victory, Herrera left the U.S. 36 Raceway the third different point lead of the 2013 season and sixth victor in eight events.

Dustin Morgan placed the Ark Wrecking of Oklahoma No. 93 on the podium for the third time in his Lucas Oil ASCS career as Cole Wood posted his best finish against the National Tour with the final step on the Champagne soaked podium.

Brad Loyet worked to fourth with Lucas Wolfe posting an impressive run from twentieth to complete the top five to earn the PitStopUSA.com Hard Charger of the Night. Seth Bergman followed suit, clawing from eighteenth to sixth with Tony Bruce, Jr. continuing the trend of passing from seventeenth to seventh. Jay Russell, Jonathan Cornell, and Logan Forler capped off the top ten from nineteenth.

Paired with the Speedway Motors Warrior Region, the night’s regional high points went to Jay Russell. Jonathan Cornell, Jack Dover, J.R. Topper, and Mitchell Moore made up the five highest earning regional drivers.

A field of 31 took part in the U.S. 36 Nationals presented by Racinboys.com with Dustin Morgan topping Rod End Supply Heat one. Jeff Swindell took Heat two presented by Wesmar. Brad Loyet came from fourth to win in the Ti22 Heat three, thus earning the FSR Radiator High Point Drive of the Night. Speedway Motors Warrior Region driver Jay Russell topped Heat 4 presented by BMRS.

The Hawk Performance Products fastest lap of the night was also earned by Herrera at 11.530 seconds on the 21 degree banked, three-eighths mile oval.

Matt Covington squeaks by for Sooner win at Muskogee

Bryan Hulbert - MUSKOGEE, Okla. (May 17, 2013) In a race of attrition, the No. 95 of Matt Covington proved being in the right place, at the right time, can mean the difference between first, and second.

Leading the first twelve circuits of the night’s 20 lap feature at Muskogee’s Thunderbird Speedway, the T&L Foundry No. 95 surrendered the point to Jamie Passmore. With victory within his grasp, the power plant under the bonnet of the GAP Roofing No. 4JX expired on the final lap, giving Matt Covington his first American Bank of Oklahoma Sooner Region victory of 2013.

The fourth winner in as many races with the Sooner Region, Covington was trailed by Joe Wood, Jr., Mike Goodman, Morgan Turpen, and Terry Gray in the top five. Alex Sewell and J.P Bailey concluded the driver running at the time of the checkered flag as Jamie Passmore, Danny Wood, and Andy Shouse all watch the final laps pit side.

Lucas Oil ASCS visit to I-80 Speedway drawing near
Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (May 16, 2013) The I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Neb. is not for the faint of heart.

At four-tenths of a mile in size, the semi-banked clay oval is among the fastest tracks visited by the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV American Real.

A regular stop for the Speedway Motors Midwest Region since 2005, the Nebraska based arm of the ASCS Nation will join the Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real for the single night appearance on Thursday, May 23 in what will ultimately be the Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real’s eighth visit to the Nebraska oval and the Midwest Region’s thirtieth.

Starting in 1996, Gary Wright posted his only victory at the I-80 Speedway on July 28. Three straight days of racing on June 4, 5, and 6, 1997 ended with Bruce Divis, Mike Chadd, and Doug Wolfgang each parking in victory lane.

It wasn’t until 2004 that the Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real again graced the big oval with 2001 National Champion Zach Chappell winning on June 10.

Victory belonged to Brian Brown on August 3, 2005 before another stretch saw the National Tour absent until 2012 when Danny Lasoski rocketed to the win on May 24 in the Mark and Parker Burch backed No. 1m.

Already tested in 2013 on Friday, April 4 and Saturday, April 5 with the season opener for the Speedway Motors Midwest Region, Jack Dover and Gregg Bakker each garnered victories with Dover earning his fourth, and Bakker his first at the I-80 Speedway in Midwest Regional competition.

Lucas Oil ASCS to take on Warrior Region at Valley Speedway

Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (May 15, 2013) Off the heels of Friday’s U.S. 36 Nationals presented by Racinboys.com in Cameron, Mo. the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV American Real will return to the Valley Speedway in Grain Valley, Mo. for the second time in series history for a midweek appearance on Wednesday, May 22 along with the Speedway Motors Warrior Region.

In front of a packed house, the 2012 debut for the Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real attracted 31 drivers to the Valley Speedway. Advancing past Grain Valley native Brian Brown on the tenth circuit, it was Tony Bruce, Jr. who parked the Lubbock Wrecker Service No. 18 Eagle in victory lane at the one-third mile, semi-banked oval on May 23, 2012.

Kyle Bellm, who earned his first Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour victory at the Devil's Bowl Speedway on March 22, 2013, earned high points for the night with the Speedway Motors Warrior Region by taking the show position.

Amid fears of cancellation due to area noise complaints, which nixed a USMTS show scheduled for Thursday, May 16, the Lucas Oil ASCS National event scheduled for Wednesday, May 22 will go on as planned. One reason being, as stated by Valley Speedway owner Dennis Shrout, is due to the stricter Schoenfeld Muffler rule implemented by ASCS for the 2013 season.

In a comment from Doug Schoenfeld, the muffler now required by ASCS was developed in California where the noise ordinances’ in some municipalities are among the strictest in the United States. Because of this, the muffler numbered 14272735-78 is acceptable at most of the dirt tracks in California.

The short explanation is the muffler reduces noise pressure by 6 dB over the previous muffler used by ASCS. In terms of the distance in which it takes sound to dissipate, the reduction in considerable.

Eyeing his fourth Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real national title, Jason Johnson has already notched three victories towards that goal.

Opening his advantage to 43 over Johnny Herrera, the Print Place No. 45x has led 30 laps in 2013, but remains winless with the National Tour since scoring a prelim night at the Southern New Mexico Speedway on November 11, 2011.

Taking his second career Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour victory on April 5 at the Golden Triangle Raceway Park, Brad Loyet holds the show position and is the only other driver currently in the top ten with a National Tour victory in 2013.

Seth Bergman and Tony Bruce, Jr. complete the top five in driver standings with both having an up and down start to the 2013 season. Each has taken to the ASCS regions with great success as mechanical woes continue to get ironed out with Seth garnering three victories is Sooner and Lone Star competition. Bruce, Jr. was able to break into victory lane with the Lone Star Region in Boyd, Texas on April 26.

With the Speedway Motors Warrior Region, Brian Brown currently leads the standings but will forfeit that position as the Missiouri native has announced his intentions to run a double night at the Knoxville Raceway this coming Saturday.

In doing so, the chase for the Speedway Motors points fund blows wide open as a slim 54 markers separate the top five in driver standings. Reigning champion Jonathan Cornell followed by Jay Russell, Wyatt Burks, and Tyler Blank stand at the ready to take the point in the regional standings.

The Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real and Speedway Motors Warrior Regional drivers will be joined by the Valley Midgets and Micro Sprints. General Admission passes are advertised at $25 with kids 6-12 admitted for $5. Reserved seating is $28. More information on the Valley Speedway can be found at http://www.valleyspeedway.com.

At 90 feet wide, the turns of the U.S. 36 Raceway are a steep 21 degrees before falling to a mild 10 degrees of banking on the straight-a-ways, giving drivers the perfect surface to execute slide jobs.

A move used by Jason Johnson for the runner up spot on Wayne Johnson, and later on Seth Bergman for the lead, Jason’s sixth win of the 2012 season was an interesting one as Jason and second finishing Wayne Johnson nearly squared off in victory lane. Luckily cooler heads prevailed and the shower of Champagne soon followed.

With hopes that Mother Nature will finally allow a race, the Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real will make their third ever appearance at the Cameron, Mo. oval this Friday for the U.S. 36 Nationals presented by Racinboys.com.

The exclusive online audio broadcast provider for the American Sprint Car Series, the 2013 event is the second year that company owner Scott Traylor has helped bring the Lucas Oil ASCS to the U.S. 36 Raceway. What will end up as the eighth stop on the 2013 national schedule, the U.S. 36 Nationals presented by Racinboys.com will be paired with the Speedway Motors Warrior Region for their third event of the year.

Jason Johnson currently leads the Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real driver point standings in the Stenhouse Jr. No. 41 going into this Friday’s event with Johnny Herrera trailing by 43 markers. A win at the Golden Triangle Raceway Park on Friday, April 5 shot Brad Loyet to third in the standings with Seth Bergman and Tony Bruce, Jr. completing the top five.

On the regional side, 2000 Warrior Region Champion Brian Brown leads reigning Warrior Regional champion Jonathan Cornell by a slim seven point margin with Jay Russell, Wyatt Burks, and Tyler Blank in the top five.

Friday, May 17 will open at 4:00 P.M. (CT) with races slated for 8:00 P.M. Advance sale tickets are available by going to http://www.racinboys.com.

Herrera tops Gulf South crowd in Beaumont

Bryan Hulbert - BEAUMONT, Texas (May 3, 2013) The Golden Triangle Raceway Park was the site of the Griffith Truck and Equipment Gulf South Region on Friday, May 3 and a breakthrough moment for Johnny Herrera as the man called “Hollywood” survived several harrowing starts to claim his first victory of 2013 in ASCS competition.

Calling back the initial start as the No. 52 of Roger Oakes ended his night upside down; the second attempt would end with another red flag as pole sitter Tommy Bryant went upside down. The third attempt yielded no charm as Brandi Jass punted an infield tire onto the track, ending the night of the No. 24 with a broken wheel.

It wasn’t until the fourth attempt that the green lights stayed on around the Golden Triangle Raceway Park as Herrera, who was slated to start fourth, found himself on the front row. In prime position, the Albuquerque native bolted into the race lead, keeping pace over the No. 87 of Aaron Retuzel who chased the Print Place No. 45x across the stripe. Ray Allen Kulhanek came from sixth to the final podium step.

Winning the B-Feature, Logan Forler dashed from fifteenth to fourth with Tony Bruce, Jr. completing the top five from twelfth. The top ten rounded out with Wes Miller, J.J. Simmons, Beau Smith, Channin Tankersley, and Josh Baughman.

The Griffith Truck and Equipment Gulf South Region heads to the Battleground Speedway on Saturday, May 4.

Southwest Region set for Central Arizona Raceway

Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (May 2, 2013) All indications were that the Hose Advantage Store Southwest Region would be absent for the high speed Central Arizona Raceway in 2013. However, good news has come from the management of the high-banked three-eighths mile oval that events on Saturday, May 18 will in fact be sanctioned with the southwest arm of the ASCS Nation.

Tested by Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV American Real driver Logan Forler and Hose Advantage Store Southwest Region champion Rick Ziehl in open competition this season, all indications from the two winning drivers are the track is “wicked fast”.

The Saturday, May 18 date is a very special night of racing as it will be “Armed Forces Appreciation Night” at the Central Arizona Raceway and will include the Mini-Sprints, X-Mods, and Dwarf Cars in addition to the Hose Advantage Store Southwest Regional Sprint Cars.

Gates to the Central Arizona Raceway are scheduled to open at 4:00 P.M. (MT) with races getting underway at 7:00 P.M. More information about the coming Southwest Regional event can be found at http://www.centralazraceway.net.

Timberline Speedway added to Lone Star Regional lineup

Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (May 2, 2013) The newly opened Timberline Speedway in Cowley, Texas has been added to the Smiley’s Racing Products Lone Star Regional lineup for Friday, May 10 ahead of the Texarkana 67 Speedway in Saturday, May 11.

The semi-banked, three-eighths mile clay oval had planned on a Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV American Real event in 2012, but unfortunately was unable to as construction had not been completed.

The Lone Star Region’s inaugural appearance to the Timberline Speedway will be the first time Sprint Cars have graced the red clay in open competition. Practice sessions on the part of drivers like Johnny Herrera and Zach Pringle have yielded positive feedback.

Races on Friday, May 10 are scheduled to begin at 8:00 P.M. (CT) with gates opening at 4:00 P.M. with Modifieds, Limited Modifieds, Super Stocks, and Factory Stocks joining the Smiley’s Racing Products Lone Star Region.

Weather stops the Rock ‘N Roll 50 again

Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (May 2, 2013) April showers have lasting effects as the month of May unfolds with yet another attempt at the Eagle Motorsports Rock ‘N Roll 50 presented by Sprintsource.com squashed by continued rain fall that has left the Riverside International Speedway grounds too soft to maneuver on, in addition to the Mississippi River, which sits only a couple hundred yards away, less than 3 feet below flood stage.

With the chance of more precipitation increasing to as much as 90 percent by the end of the week, event promoter Tony Bruce, Jr. has made the decision to postpone this year’s event until a better date can be found.

“It’s not something I want to do because I know how much everyone, including me, looks forward to this race but it’s just not feasible, or safe, for anyone right now with the way things are” commented Bruce of the decision to postpone.

TBJ Promotions, along with ASCS series officials, are looking for a possible reschedule date for the already rescheduled event. Anyone with advance purchased tickets can transfer their tickets, without additional charge, to another TBJ Promotions event or get a refund for their purchase.

“This sucks” said Bruce. “I hate having to postpone shows but I want the fans, and drivers, to get their monies worth when they come to a TBJ Promotions event. The hope is that we can still have the Rock ‘N Roll 50 this year.”

Updates regarding a new date will be posted to http://www.tbjpromotions.com as well as http://www.ascsracing.com.

Rock ‘N Roll 50 on deck for Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour

Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (April 22, 2013) Hailed as the longest, continuously promoted, dirt track in the United States, the Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Ark. welcomes the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV American Real on Saturday, April 27 for the fifth running of the Eagle Motorsports Rock ‘N Roll 50 presented by Sprintsource.com.

Serving as the eighth round of competition for the Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real in 2013, the Rock N’ Roll 50 is the creation of ASCS National Tour driver Tony Bruce, Jr. and the first event of the season for TBJ Promotions.

Talking with Tony Bruce, Jr. about the Rock ‘N Roll 50 and the inspiration for the event, Bruce explained simply that the event was inspired by the surrounding community, “Pretty much, Memphis is the birth place of Rock ‘n Roll. Simply put, the name was inspired by the city of Memphis.”

As the longest race of the season with the Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real, it was revealed that the idea for the 50 lap A-Feature came about because of the uniqueness of the track known as “The Ditch”. “We wanted to do a 50 lap race and fortunately, Riverside is a short enough track to be able to host a 50 lap race without worrying to much about fuel.”

Much like the Ridgeway Clock awarded to NASCAR Sprint Cup winners at the Martinsville Speedway, the Rock ‘N Roll 50 carries the unique prize of a custom painted Gibson Electric Guitar.

Asked what inspired the unique prize, Bruce replied, “We just kind of thought about doing something with the trophy. You know something cool that people would want. What’s funny is a lot of times people tell me they would rather have the trophy than the winners payout. It’s one of those deals where we came up with an idea and it just took off.”

Entering the Saturday affair, defending Rock ' Roll 50 champion Seth Bergman has spent his time competing amongst the ASCS Nation in regional competition, earning a $2,000 bounty at the Creek County Speedway in Sapulpa, Okla. with the American Bank of Oklahoma Sooner Region this past Friday. Much like Riverside, the Oklahoma oval is a very tight, very technical quarter-mile; a track type of track that Seth seems to shine on.

The only other driver besides Arkansas native Tim Crawly to claim the coveted guitar, Bergman, in an interview with Inside Line Promotions, described his Rock ‘N Roll 50 triumph as gratifying and went on to say, “I had been working the last few years on the tour trying to get that win. A lot of hard work and time and energy by a lot of people finally paid off. It was just perfect for us to get our first win there. I don’t know if I’d take any other situation to get my first Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour win.”

The Rock 'N Roll 50 is slated from Saturday, April 20 with a start time of 7:30 P.M (CT). Tickets can be purchased the day of the event or online at http://www.tbjpromotions.com.

Springfield showdown goes to Cornell

Bryan Hulbert - SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (April 20, 2013) Jonathan Cornell finished his 2012 season with a victory at the Springfield Raceway with the Speedway Motors Warrior and American Bank of Oklahoma Sooner Regions. Returning with the regional combination on Saturday, April 20, Cornell topped the regional showdown, driving the Kiowa Line Builders No. 28 to his first triumph of the 2013 season.

Pulling the third starting spot of the night’s 25 lap feature event, Cornell chased early leader Brandon Hahn into slower traffic before Hahn tripped the ever thinning cushion in turn three; falling off the track then returning atop turn four, under power, on Lap 9.

With Logan Forler to his back bumper, Cornell stuck to the cushion on the restart. Approaching the tail of the field on Lap 15, Forler began closing the distance to a pair of car lengths only to see the caution again fly for Hahn after contact with the front straight wall on the nineteenth circuit.

The final six laps saw Cornell pull to nearly a straight-a-way when the checkered flag fell. Logan Forler posted his second runner up spot of the weekend with Danny Wood completing the podium. Swapping lines again, and again on the restart Blake Hahn edged Brian Brown for fourth with Brown crossing fifth.

Coming out the night’s first B-Main, Harli White charged from seventeenth to sixth followed by Seth Bergman from sixteenth. Randy Martin, Jay Russell, and Matt Ward made up the drivers in the top ten.

Bergman snags Sooner Region payday

Bryan Hulbert - SAPULPA, Okla. (April 19, 2013) An off weekend with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV American Real was a profitable one for Seth Bergman as the Washington driver grabbed the American Bank of Oklahoma Sooner Region opener at the Creek County Speedway presented by Ark Wrecking of Oklahoma.

Pursuing the Martens Machine Shop No. 48 into slower traffic on Lap 20, Bergman, along with Zach Pringle and Matt Covington made it anyone’s race. Taking the bottom groove on Lap 22, the Oilfield Equipment No. 23 squeezed into the lead with Pringle in tow.

Mike Goodman, Danny Wood, Andy Shouse, Joe Bob Lee, and Jonathan Beason completed the top ten.

ASCS National Schedule Update

Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (April 8, 2013) The schedule for the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV American Real has changed.

Events at the Tri City Speedway on Friday, May 3 and Saturday, May 4 at the Paducah International Raceway have been removed. Originally slated to be the first paring of the Lucas Oil Late Models and Lucas Oil ASCS, track owners made the move to just feature Late Models as the cost of hosting both national series at the same time proved to be prohibitive. Another venue is currently being sought to fill these dates.

The event scheduled from Saturday, June 8 at the I-30 Speedway has been removed. A possible rescheduled date is in the works. Reasoning behind the change for the I-30 Speedway is the amount of high dollar shows scheduled at the I-30 Speedway all within a close proximity to one another. In order to give the track, and fans, time to recover a replacement date is in the works.

Dover earns Midwest opener

Bryan Hulbert - GREENWOOD, Neb. (April 5, 2013) Starting up seemingly where he left on in 2012, defending Speedway Motors Midwest Regional Champion Jack Dover used slower traffic to take the Midwest season opener worth $2,500 at the I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Neb.

Earning the seventh starting position in the night’s 25 lap feature, Dover raced into the lead on Lap 21 when race long leader Tyler Drueke slid just far enough out of the groove, in traffic, to allow Dover the pass exiting turn four.

Dover was followed across the line by Tyler Drueke with Wade Nygaard, Kyle Sauder, and Jake Martens completing the top five. After winning the night’s B-Feature, Danny Lasoski clawed from fifteenth to sixth in the Burch Motorsports No. 1m with Lucas Wolfe, Stu Snyder, Don Droud, Jr., and Jason Martin making up the top ten.

A $300 bonus was also awarded to third finishing Wade Nygaard in a random draw sponsored by ESI.

Loyet golden in Beaumont with Lucas Oil ASCS

Bryan Hulbert - BEAUMONT, Texas (March 5, 2013) All things went Brad Loyet’s way on Friday night as the Missouri racer earned the FSR Radiator High Point award, drew the pole in the redraw, and led all 30 laps at the Golden Triangle Raceway Park for his second career Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV American Real National Tour victory.

After a pair of starts to get the night’s feature event going saw Jason Johnson spinning and Seth Bergman snap a left-front Radius Rod following contact with an infield tire, the red displayed on Lap 2 as Jeff Swindell and Aaron Reutzel flip nearly half the length of the back straight-a-way. Both drivers were okay and Reutzel rejoined the field.

On the restart, Loyet immediately began working the hub of the racing surface, never leaving the bottom groove to keep outside starting Ray Allen Kulhanek at bay to become the fifth different winner in six Protect the Harvest feature events in 2013.

Asked if he ever considered trying the top of the track, Loyet replied, “I never thought about trying that. Maybe if I’d seen someone up there but we were just rotating really good on the bottom all night long. You know we struggled out west and brought the car back to the shop, put it up on scales, and Rick and Tim England worked their butts off trying to get this car to work and we got it working good tonight.”

Settling for the runner up spot, Ray Allen Kulhanek posted his best finish to date against the National Tour. The three time Griffith Truck and Equipment Gulf South Region Champion also kept to the bottom line for the duration of the feature. “We definitely wanted to win but Brad [Loyet]had a hell of a car tonight. There wasn’t anything I could really do with him. Even when we got to lapped cars all I could do was sneak up on him.”

Working multiple lines, Albuquerque, N.M. driver Johnny Herrera posted his second podium finish of the season with a third place run in the Print Place No. 45x. Herrera was followed closely by Jason Johnson who drove the MVT No. 41 from twenty third following his opening lap spin with Matt Covington completing the top five.

Coming off a win with the Hose Advantage Store Southwest Region last Saturday, Logan Forler climbed from thirteenth to sixth followed by Channin Tankersley, Travis Rilat, Kolt Walker, and Tyson Hall.

The Hawk Performance Products Fastest Lap of the Night went to Brad Loyet with the PitStopUSA.com Hard Charger award going to Cole Wood who drove from twenty-third to thirteenth after the Auburn, Cali. driver took a provisional into the night’s feature event.

Travis Rilat was the victor in the Rod End Supply opening Heat followed by John Carney II in Wesmar Heat two. BMRS Heat three went to Ray Allen Kulhanek with Matt Covington taking the Saldana Racing Products Heat four honors. Brad Loyet was the Ti22 Heat five winner.

B-Feature victories went to Sam Hafertepe, Jr. in the Joie of Seating B-Feature one followed by Dustin Morgan in the SBI Fuel Bladder B-Feature two.

History surrounds Lucas Oil ASCS at Hammer Hill

Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (April 2, 2013) It goes without saying that Little Rock, Ark. has a long history with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV American Real. Crowning Garry Lee Maier champion for the 1992 season, the first official National Tour commenced on May 15, 1993 at the Joe M. Clay Raceway, or as it is knows far and wide, I-30 Speedway.

Since that first race, the Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real has seen 62 checkered flags fall over 25 different drivers. Most recent of those winners is Paul McMahan who captured the 25th annual Comp Cam Short Track Nationals presented by Hoosier Tire on October 27, 2012 ahead of Christopher Bell and Gary Wright.

The first of three appearances of the 2013 season at “Hammer Hill”, the Saturday, April 6 date for the Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real will count as the seventh tour date of the 2013 season.

One year ago, the spring race at the I-30 Speedway was postponed to June following heavy rains just prior to the start of the final Heat Race on the prelim night. Upon the series return, Tony Bruce, Jr. powered to the prelim win but was not able to keep Jason Johnson at bay the following night. Both Tony and Jason share multiple wins at the quarter-mile oval.

By the numbers, the top three in the list of I-30 winners includes Gary Wright who holds the record for Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real victories at Hammer Hill with 13 triumphs. Jason Johnson follows with seven followed by Tim Crawley with five.

Crawley, who for the past couple of seasons has elected to race closer to home, is among the toughest competition the National Tour faces when they roll through the gates of the I-30 Speedway. A three time Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real Champion, it leaves no wonder as to why the Benton, Ark. driver is a threat at any National event he attends.

Crawley is just one of several who compete regularly at the I-30 Speedway who are poised to upset the National drivers.

Scaled to a single day show in 2013, the Little Rock date will be the second night of a weekend swing that begins at the Golden Triangle Raceway Park in Beaumont, Texas.

Events at the I-30 Speedway are scheduled to begin at 7:30 P.M. with gates opening at 5 P.M. For more information regarding events at the I-30 Speedway, and all Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real events at the I-30 Speedway, log onto http://www.i-30speedway.com.

Southwest Region carries on into Tucson

Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (April 1, 2013) The Hose Advantage Store Southwest Region heads into their sixth event of the 2013 season this Saturday, April 6 as the series returns to the Tucson International Raceway in Tucson, Ariz.

After five rounds of competition, Ziehl maintains his points lead by 53 markers over Lance Norick who raced to a runner up finish this past Saturday at the Arizona Speedway. Billy Chester holds the final step on the podium for the moment 68 points behind Ziehl.

As regional points are tallied based off the highest finishing regional drivers in a National Tour event, Ziehl has been able to maintain his points lead having made the A-Feature in the first four events of the season that were paired with the National Tour.

Thus far in 2013, Brian Brown, Roger Crockett, Jason Johnson, and most recently Logan Forler have Southwest Region triumphs. Forler’s trip to the Arizona Speedway was a test and tune for the Lake Havasu City, Ariz. to narrow down engine woes. A faulty magneto was discovered and allowed Forler to become the fourth winner in five events.

Named the “6 for the 6th”, events at the Tucson International Raceway will include six classes as the Hose Advantage Store Southwest Region is joined by the X-Mods, Super Stocks, Factory Stocks, Mod Lites, and Hornets.

Gates for this Saturday’s Southwest Region event will open at 5 P.M. with events beginning at 7:15 P.M. Admission is $15 for adults, $13 for Seniors and Millitary.

Speedway Motors Midwest Region lights up at I-80 Speedway

Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (April 1, 2013) After a long Midwest winter, the coming of Spring signals the start of dirt track racing in the Midwest and with it, the start of the 2013 Speedway Motors Midwest Region season.

Marking the ninth season for the Speedway Motors backed region, the 2013 opener will be the two-day Tighton Tools Spring Meltdown at the four-tenths mile I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Neb on Friday, April 5 and Saturday, April 6 with practice on Thursday, April 4.

A favorite of the Midwest drivers, the I-80 Speedway will offer a $2,500 payday to the winner each night and will combine the Speedway Motors Midwest Region with the CBC/MLRA Super Late Models and well as varied classes of Modifieds with B-Mods Friday and A-Mods on Saturday.

Jack Dover enters the 2013 season as the defending champion of the Speedway Motors Midwest Region. The 2012 season was Dover’s third Midwest triumph, and second consecutive title ahead of Jordan Boston.

Going into a track that has both rewarded and punished the Springfield driver, Dover’s final win of the 2012 season that clinched his third title came at the I-80 Speedway on night one of the Fall Brawl. Earlier that season however, a horrific crash at the I-80 Speedway ended Dover’s Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour bid and resulted in his returning to the Midwest Region. Dover will again utilize Roush/Yates power inside an Eagle Motorsports Chassis.

Looking forward to the opening weekend, Thursday’s practice will be held from 6:00 P.M. to 9:30 P.M. All drivers are advised to provide their own push vehicle. Practice will be $20 for drivers and $10 for all others. The grandstands will be open with free admission but with limited, if no, facilities available.

Friday, April 5 and Saturday, April 6 admission will be $22 each night with kids 6-12 years of age admitted for $5. Kids 5 years and younger will be allowed into the grandstands for free.

Start times from the Tighton Tools Spring Meltdown will see Friday’s card beginning at 7:15 P.M. with gates opening at 5:30 P.M. Saturday’s time will see a start time of 5:55 P.M. with gates opening at 4:30 P.M.

Forler shines against Southwest Region

Bryan Hulbert - QUEEN CREEK, Ariz. (March 30, 2013) Taking advantage of an off weekend with the Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV America Real National Tour, Logan Forler’s quest to rectify ongoing engine woes resulted in victory with the Hose Advantage Store Southwest Region.

Arizona Speedway next of Southwest Region

Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, OKLA. (March 25, 2013) The Parker Hose Advantage Store Southwest Region will host its first standalone show of the 2013 season on Saturday, March 30 at the Arizona Speedway/ET Motopark in Queen Creek, Ariz.

Pairing their first four dates of the season with the Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real National Tour, reigning regional champion Rick Ziehl has assumed his place atop the point standings heading into this Saturday’s events after early points leader Joshua Hodges was absent from events at the Cocopah Speedway.

In the 2012 season’s lone visit to the one-third mile Phoenix Valley oval, it was Ziehl who raced the Bay Hays Motorsports No. 20z to victory ahead of J.T. Imperial and Joshua Williams. A repeat of his 2012 success this Saturday would tie the Las Cruces, N.M. driver with Johnny Herrera as the winningest driver in the history of the Parker Hose Advantage Store Southwest Region as Herrera holds 16 victories.

Bellm sails to first ASCS National Victory

Bryan Hulbert - MESQUITE, TEXAS (March 22, 2013) On a cool night in Mesquite, Texas, Kyle Bellm became the 116th driver to win a Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV American Real feature event presented by Protect the Harvest.

Piloting his own Christian County Collision Center No. 14k, the Missouri native utilized restarts to come from the sixth starting spot to victory on the opening night of the fortieth annual Spring Nationals and Matt Clevenger Memorial at the Devil’s Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, Texas.

“We’ve got a great team with us here” said an elated Bellm in victory lane. Reflecting on finally earning a national victory, Bellm said, “I’ll tell you what; it’s real surreal for me. Half-miles haven’t usually been my thing but tonight we were just good right out of the box and I can’t thank everybody enough. Patriot Race Engines is probably the one that won this for us as heavy as the track was. That thing never gave up.”

Despite being in his own car, Kyle was quick to give credit to his car owners with the Speedway Motors Warrior Region saying, “I really think, for me, as a driver getting behind the wheel of the Jeff and Jerry Smith No. 86 has really been a big thing for my career. Just getting more seat time and to have that quality equipment that I can race every weekend so I’ve got to thank them a bunch too because without them, I wouldn’t be here.”

Assuming the runner up spot on the thirteenth round, Bellm took over the lead after race long leader Christopher Bell fell off with a failed rear-end assembly in the Baytown Ford No. 31b.

Falling to third after drawing the pole, Shawn Petersen ran the race of his life, coming back to finish second. Asked what it meant to get the runner up finish at the Devil’s Bowl, Petersen replied, “You know we’ve worked really hard here. We’ve rented this race track and Lanny Ross and Lanny have been great at supporting us. The first four races were really tough but now, here we are.”

After selling his equipment midway through the 2012 season, Tulsa, Okla. native Sean McClelland said he was done but a phone call from Bruce Griffith, Jr. landed Sean behind the wheel of the Bruce and Teresa Griffith back No. 17 which McClelland drove to a third place finish ahead of Joe Wood, Jr. and seventeenth starting Travis Rilat who rounded out the top five.

Brad Loyet ended up sixth with Jeff Swindell advancing 16 spots to seventh after multiple engine fires forced the Bartlett, Tenn. native to take a provisional. Johnny Herrera came from twelfth to eighth followed by Brady Bacon and Jason Johnson who climbed 12 spot to round out the top ten after having to race in through the SBI Fuel Bladders B-Feature.

The night began with Brad Loyet taking the Rod End Supply Heat one with Joe Wood, Jr. atop the Wesmar Heat two. The Ti22 Heat three belonged to Sean McClelland with the BMRS Heat four going to Patrick Stasa. Dustin Morgan grabbed the Saldana Heat five with Whit Gastineau earning the final Heat Race of the night presented by Engler Machine and Tool.

Along with finding victory, the Hawk Performance Racing Products Fastest Lap of the Night went to Kyle Bellm who turned a 14.456 second lap in the Protect the Harvest A-Feature.

Lucas Oil ASCS head for reshaped Devil's Bowl Speedway

Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (March 18, 2013) A look at the history of the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV American Real reveals on constant for the largest Sprint Car sanctioning body as the Devil’s Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, Texas has appeared on the National schedule 72 times since the series’ first visit in 1994.

After a break following season opening events in Arizona, the Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real Returns to the famed Mesquite oval for the 40th running of the Spring National. The 2013 event will also carry the title of memorial as the Devil’s Bowl pays tribute to the late Matt Clevenger.

Shortened by rain in 2012, Jason Johnson secured his tenth overall win at the half-mile oval, just ten wins behind all time winner Gary Wright who made his last visit to the Devil’s Bowl in 2012 before hanging up his helmet at the conclusion of the season.

Despite a less than desirable start to his 2013 campaign, Johnson’s rebound has been nothing short of memorizing as the Roush/Yates powered No. 41 swept the opening rounds of the Cocopah Cup Challenge at the Cocopah Speedway in Somerton, Ariz. two weeks ago.

Currently second in the tour line-up, Johnson is poised to assume the points lead as Brian Brown pursues events on the west coast.

One thing drivers will notice upon their return to the Devil’s Bowl is a reshaped racetrack. More specifically, a redesign for the turn two area.

Speaking with Lanny Ross Edwards, son of Devil’s Bowl founder Lanny Edwards, the configuration focused mainly on turn two because it was hindering the drivers ability to manipulate the corner, “There were sliding off turn two, and getting to where it just wasn’t very racy off of turn two. If you weren’t on the bottom you just didn’t have a chance of passing nobody” commented Edwards on why the changes were made.

Asked to what degree the track was changed, Edwards replied, “I cut it down into the infield about 20 feet, put a little more bank into it, not much but it seems like it has more bank ‘cause the way I’ve cut it down into the infield. It made the track a lot shorter.”

Questioned about how well he believes the improvements will shape up, the reply was confident, “There’ll probably be two, three grooves, possibly four grooves coming off two now.

In regards to the other end of the track, Edwards indicated that some changes were made in turn four, but were minimal. Lanny Ross gave no indication as to whether or not any additional changes to the surface would be made prior to the Spring Nationals and Matt Clevenger Memorial.

This weekends events will be paired with the Smiley's Racing Products Lone Star Region which opened their 2013 season on Saturday, March 16 at the Kennedale Speedway Park with Seth Bergman taking the opener victory in the P.P.M. No. 23.

Wofford walks to 305 Shootout victory

Bryan Hulbert - LAS CRUCES, N.M. (March 16, 2013) For the fourth year in a row the big names of Sprint Car racing were denied the 305 Sprint Car Shootout’s $5,000 bounty as Alamogordo, N.M. shoe Lorne Wofford led all 30 laps en route to the second Shootout victory for the Wofford family.

“This is fantastic for us” said Wofford of winning the 305 Shootout. “It was a lucky pill draw but what a class crowd we’re working with, I mean come on, Jason Johnson. That’s the best there is. I just appreciate everything that Brian Mundell, my car owner, Don my crew chief, Kim my wife. Man, I just appreciate everyone coming out.”

Taking the lead from the pole, Wofford was challenged early by Jeff Swindell. Leaving the Bartlett, Tenn. driver to contend with team mate Kyle McCutcheon, the MTS No. 18 raced to the back of the field on Lap 5.

Caution lights blinked on with 13 Laps complete for Kyle McCutcheon who ended up parked a top turn two while running fourth.

Taking back off into slower traffic by the seventeenth circuit, Wofford commanded the cushion of the Southern New Mexico Speedway as Christopher Bell made his way into the top three following races with Jeff Swindell and Dylan Harris.

Stopping with 8 Laps remaining following a flip by the No. 05 of Bill Briley III that collected fourth running Dylan Harris, the restart brought a race for second with Jason Johnson advancing into the top three with Christopher Bell occupying the runner up spot.

With the caution lights blinking on around the Speedway on Lap 25, Johnson had taken over the runner up spot, trading the position with Bell numerous times on the restart, giving Wofford room to move as the No. 18 grabbed the $5,000 winner's share.

Jason Johnson settled for the runner up spot with Christopher Bell, Jeff Swindell, and fourteenth starting Royal Jones completing the top five.

Harli White charged from eleventh to sixth after battling inside the top five several times in the closing laps with Wes Wofford, Kolt Walker, Preston Peebles, and Kyle Sager rounding out the top ten.

Victory rings for Bell in Shootout opener

Bryan Hulbert - LAS CRUCES, N.M. (March 15, 2013) Bouncing between his second starting spot and fifth for the first half of the night’s 25 lap feature event at the Southern New Mexico Speedway, Christopher Bell raced to victory in the opening night of the fourth annual ASCS 305 Sprint Car Shootout.

In a Robert Miller owned mount with Aaron Reutzel supplying the setup, Bell gave great praise to his crew in victory lane. Asked about the confidence he had with his crew, Bell replied, “It gives me a ton of confidence. I’ve learned over the past couple of months that you’re only as good as the racecar underneath you and these guys gave me a great piece.”

Stopping for an opening lap red involving the flipping Preston Peebles and Derek DeMartino, the next seven circuits saw pole sitter Kolt Walker trading the lead off and on with Kyle McCutcheon and Christopher Bell.

The caution lights blinked on Lap 10 as reigning event champion John Carney II spun running ninth, collecting Cesar Fuentes and Royal Jones in the process. The MVT No. 131 was able to return to competition.

With rubber forming in the middle groove of the Speedway, Bell sat comfortably with the lead despite a caution on Lap 19 that saw a slower car nearly collect the Norman, Okla. driver.

On the restart, Bell was unchallenged for the win with Kyle McCutcheon grabbing the runner up spot followed by Jeff Swindell and Lorne Wofford in the four transfer spots for Saturday’s $5,000 to win feature event. Jason Johnson completed the top five after winning the night’s B-Feature and starting seventeenth.

Josh Baughman was followed across the line by Brandon Schure with Harli White rebounding from a nineteenth starting spot to finish eighth. Pole sitter Kolt Walker settled for ninth with Richard Wilbee completing the top ten.

The fourth running of the ASCS 305 Sprint Car Shootout continues on Saturday, March 16 with gates opening at 5:30 P.M. and Hot Laps beginning at 6:30 P.M.

Jason Johnson cleans house at Cocopah

Bryan Hulbert - SOMERTON, Ariz. (March 2, 2013) For the second time in as many nights, Jason Johnson found himself in victory lane at the Cocopah Speedway with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV American Real, only this time the check was worth $10,000 to bring his weekend winnings to $13,000 in the first two rounds of the Cocopah Cup Challenge.

Improvising with a “Harlem Shake” in victory lane, Johnson commented on the final laps of the night’s feature, which saw Lucas Wolfe battling with the MVT No. 41 before slower traffic allowed Johnson some breathing room, “Well you know with 13 to go, my guys told me he [Lucas Wolfe] was all over me.”

“I didn’t have no gap so they signaled go as hard as you can. You’ve got to hit your marks and not slip up. They kept telling me they thought I was a little faster in three and four, but I was just scared to run the top like that and open the bottom up for him to put a big slide job.”

Drawing the pacers position in the night’s 30 lap feature event, Johnson immediately took off into the race lead with Logan Forler holding the runner up spot before surrendering the spot to Lucas Wolfe on Lap 2.

Caution lights blinked on around the Cocopah Speedway on Lap 6 as the No. 57x of Dalten Gabbard rolled to a stop in turn two, eliminating a 2.618 second advantage held by Johnson over Lucas Wolfe.

Returning to speed, Tony Stewart began working on Logan Forler for the fourth spot. After nearly ending upside down on the start after hopping a right rear tire, the Chevrolet Performance No. 14 had fought back from being as far back as eighth on the start.

Mingling with the back of the field on lap thirteen, racing would again be slowed as the Pettit Oil Company No. 27 of Mitch Olson spun while running eighth on Lap 17.

On the restart, Lucas Wolfe assumed the role of predator, stalking the MVT No. 41 back into slower traffic. Working the cushion through turns three and four, the Buffalo Wild Wings No. 82 of Lucas Wolfe ran any line not occupied by Johnson; picking up the most ground through turns one and two but unable to complete the pass at the opposite ends of the Cocopah Speedway despite pulling nearly even with Johnson on several occasions.

With slower traffic playing to his advantage, Johnson raced to victory ahead of Lucas Wolfe and Brady Bacon, who held off the final lap charge of Tony Stewart, to take the final step on the podium by a mere 0.016 seconds at the checkered flag. Seth Bergman climbed from eleventh to round out the top five.

Danny Lasoski, who earned the nineteenth starting spot following a third in the night’s The Joie of Seating B-Feature came up to finish sixth with B-Feature winner Brian Brown earning seventh. Logan Forler, after running in the top five for the first 16 laps, slipped to eighth followed by Wayne Johnson and Roger Crockett as the drivers in the top ten.

Earlier Hear Race wins went to Cole Wood in Ti22 Heat one followed by Roger Crockett in the second Heat presented by BMRS. Wesmar Heat three belonged to Logan Forler with Lance Norick taking Rod End Supply Heat four. The Joie of Seating B-Feature was won by Brian Brown.

The Hawk Performance Products Fastest Lap of the Feature went to race winner Jason Johnson.

The Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real takes time off with the schedule resuming at the Devil’s Bowl Speedway on March 22 and 23 for the Spring Nationals and Matt Clevenger Memorial.

Jason Johnson shines in Cocopah Cup opener

Bryan Hulbert - SOMERTON, Ariz. (March 1, 2013) After a lackluster start to his 2013 season, Jason Johnson rebounded by capturing the opening night checkers of the Cocopah Cup Challenge presented by the Cocopah Casino at the Cocopah Speedway with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV American Real.

Drawing the pole in the night’s feature event, Johnson led the distance in the night’s 25 lap affair. Asked about the week off an whether or not any changes were made following engine problems in Tucson, Johnson replied, “First and foremost on these engine problems we had last week, we gave these Roush/Yates engines a wrong rapport. We filled up the nozzles with trash, and was just an unfortunate situation ‘cause there was defiantly nothing wrong with our Roush/Yates Ford.”

“I could run anywhere on the race track and I had a good car. That’s what happens when you drive good equipment” commented Johnson on his performance. “I felt like at the end of the race that it just started getting a little too far around to top in turns one and two and started running the bottom and gauging myself off the lapped cars. Three and four, I ran anywhere I had to in order to pass these guys.”

Pacing to the green alongside Jeff Swindell, Johnson grabbed the advantage into the first turns with Mitch Olson taking the field three wide to move from fourth to second. Challenging low for the lead, Olson would fall in line with the Chevy Performance No. 14 of Tony Stewart in tow.

Slowing on lap three for the stopped No. 94 of Jeff Swindell, the Hedman Husler Hedders entry retired for the evening after the pinch bolt in the left rear torsion arm snapped.

Resuming with the single file restart, the race for the runner up spot came into focus as Stewart worked around the Pettit Oil Company No. 27. Swapping the top line for the inside line, the Bass Pro Shops No. 14 worked off turn four on Lap 4 to find Olson between he and the wall, making slight contact before the pair raced into turns one and two with Mitch Olson taking back the runner up spot.

Pacing into slower traffic by lap ten, Johnson would maintain a comfortable advantage as Olson and Stewart paced the remainder of the podium with Lucas Wolfe and Roger Crockett making up the top five.

Slowing for a caution caused by debris with three laps to complete, Johnson restarted with a trio of slower cars between himself and Olson, giving the MVT No. 41 a comfortable 3.644 second advantage at the checkered flag. Mitch Olson held on for the runner up spot with Tony Stewart completing the podium. Lucas Wolfe crossed the line fourth with Brian Brown completing the top five after accidental contact between the No. 21 and the No. 11 of Roger Crockett send the SKS Racing entry flipping coming to the checkered flag.

Henry VanDam settled for sixth with Logan Forler earning the PitstopUSA.com Hard Charger of the race coming from twenty-first to seventh followed by Wayne Johnson from nineteenth. Michigan native Dain Naida finished ninth in the Oshweken Speedway No. 0 with Oklahoma’s Dustin Morgan making up the top ten.

Heat Race victories belonged to Mitch Olson in the Ti22 Heat one followed by Henry VanDam in BMRS Heat two. Heat three powered by Wesmar saw Dustin Morgan pace the field with Tony Stewart grabbing the Saldana Racing Products Heat four victory. The Joie of Seating “B” Feature was captured by Brady Bacon.

The Hawk Performance Products Fastest Lap of the Feature went to Jason Johnson.

The Cocopah Cup Challenge continues Saturday, March 2 at the Cocopah Speedway with gates opening at 5pm and racing beginning at 7pm.

Stewart ready to $10k attempt at the Cocopah Speedway

RANDY HOEFT - Yumasun.com - In 2013, Tony Stewart will race more sprint car races than NASCAR Sprint Cup races.

It's just the way “Smoke” likes it, spending as much time as he can on dirt, which includes coming to Cocopah Speedway for the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series National Tour Cocopah Cup Challenge presented by Cocopah Casino on March 1 and 2.

Stewart, speaking Thursday afternoon during a NASCAR Media Day interview with the Yuma Sun and Outlaw Country AM 1400, said he and his Tony Stewart Racing team are planning on racing over 50 sprint car races this season.

“It's something I'm passionate about, short track racing, especially dirt track racing,” said Stewart. “So any chance I can to get away … we're shooting for over 50 sprint car races this year. And when you think about our Cup schedule that we run, we run 38 races there, so I'm actually going to be running more sprint car races than NASCAR races this year.”

Stewart said his competition director at Tony Stewart Racing, Jimmy Carr, talked about going to Cocopah Speedway and made the recommendation.

“Any place I haven't been he kind of gives the blessing on whether we should go there or not,” said Stewart. “And that was one place that he was advised about … and when we saw it was on the schedule it was a perfect opportunity for us to come over and run.

“It's a great series that will be running there and a good group of guys that we're racing with. So it made it pretty exciting for us to know that it was a good show coming up and someplace that was going to be close by that we can make.”

By “close by,” Stewart was referring to the fact that he will already be in Phoenix, competing in the Subway Fresh Fit 500 at Phoenix International Raceway, the second stop on the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup calendar. That race is scheduled for March 3. He will make the trek back and forth to Cocopah Speedway to compete in the Friday and Saturday night events, driving the No.14, Chevrolet Performance Parts sprint car.

“Out there in Yuma is a great facility from what we've heard,” continued Stewart.

“I'm excited. Something that I enjoy is going to places I haven't been, and that's something I'm really looking forward to. We've ran a lot of tracks in Arizona and always had a good following there, so it's going to be nice for us to get a chance to come to a new place and give the fans who don't get a chance to come out and see us very much to come out and watch us run a sprint car.”

Coincidentally, the ASCS National Tour will return to Cocopah Speedway for two nights of racing on Nov. 8 and 9, the same weekend that NASCAR returns to Phoenix International Raceway for the next to last race in the Chase to the Sprint Cup.

Stewart said his making another trip to Cocopah Speedway depends on how well he's doing in the NASCAR championship scene. However, he also did not count out a return appearance.

“The hard part about committing to November is not knowing where we're at in the Cup standings,” he said. “If we're in a bid for the Sprint Cup championship it will make it harder to be able to come and run those extra two or three races late in the year.

“But we'll have to see what happens. I hope we're in a position where we're worrying about the Cup car by then, but if not it wouldn't hurt my feelings to be able to come out and race a couple of nights again.”

Stewart said if he had to make a choice of only one type of race car to drive, it was no surprise when he said he would most likely want to stay on the dirt.

“There is something about every division we run that we really, really enjoy, but I don't know, I would say at this point in my career if they said I could only drive one, I probably would drive a sprint car,” he said.

“I've really had a lot of fun in the last couple of years in particular. We're trying to make over 50 races this year and that's already with a hectic Cup schedule that's normally three days a week, so being able to go and run all those races, you gotta have a lot of passion to want to do that and it's something that we're having a good time and enjoying doing.”

Having won three NASCAR championships, an Indy Car championship, four USAC championships and the first USAC Triple Crown championship, along with an IROC championship, Stewart said there are still goals he hasn't met in his racing career. One of them is driving a top fuel dragster.

“I don't necessarily want to race, but I want to learn how to drive one, I want to drive over 300 mph in one,” he said. “So that's definitely a goal before I retire.”

ASCS Gulf South Region kicks off this weekend

Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (February 25, 2013) Embarking on their twelfth season of competition, the Griffith Truck and Equipment ASCS Gulf South Region will kick off their 2013 season with a pair of events, beginning at the Golden Triangle Raceway Park Beaumont, Texas on Friday, March 1 followed by competition on Saturday, March 2 at the Battleground Speedway in Highlands, Texas.

Marked as the 6th annual Prelude to the Gulf Coast Nationals, events at the GTRP will begin at 7:45pm with gates opening at 6pm. The Gulf Coast Nationals at the Battleground Speedway will open their gates at 5pm with races beginning at 7pm.

Ray Allen Kulhanek enters the 2013 season as the defending champion of the Griffith Truck and Equipment ASCS Gulf South Region. The 2012 season yielded five victories for the Danbury, Texas driver with a point’s margin of 264 between he and Brandon Berryman. Travis Elliot, Michael McNeil and Tommy Bryant completed the top five in regional standings.

The 2013 Griffith Truck and Equipment ASCS Gulf South schedule consist of 23 dates that stretch from March through September.

Cocopah Speedway on deck for Lucas Oil ASCS

Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (February 24, 2013) With the season opening events at the Tucson International Raceway complete, the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV American Real moves to the Cocopah Speedway in Yuma, Ariz. for the first two rounds of the Cocopah Cup Challenge presented by the Cocopah Casino.

Making their first visit to the Arizona oval in 2012, the wide, slick surface made for a memorable weekend as Dustin Morgan grabbed his first Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real victory on the series opening night at the three-eights mile oval followed by what some have called the “pass of the season” when Danny Wood worked by Jason Johnson for the win on the closing lap.

Paying $3,000 and $4,000 to win in 2012, the series second visit to the Cocopah Speedway will feature a $3,000 pay day on Friday, March 1 before giving way to Saturday’s $10,000 winner’s share.

With newly rebuilt grandstands, expanded pit area, and improved amenities, Director of Operations Greg Burgess said in an interview on Jan. 21, 2013 that the Cocopah Tribe, who owns the Cocopah Speedway and Cocopah Casino, believe events at the Cocopah Speedway can evolve into a major event for Sprint Car racing, “The Tribe in really behind the Speedway. We live in a real motorsports oriented community and we want to build a signature event that can grow year after year. Something similar to events like the Short Track Nationals and Knoxville Nationals.”

Crockett capitalizes on traffic for ASCS Victory

Bryan Hulbert - TUCSON, Ariz. (February 23, 2013) Utilizing slower traffic in the later running of the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV American Real feature event, Roger Crockett found his way to his third career National Tour victory, and first at the Tucson International Raceway.

“I just seen him [Brown] start to get tight later in the race and I’d seen where he tried to go high around lapped cars before so I knew that was my shot” said Crockett about his pass for the lead.

With the victory, Roger elaborated on the coming weekend in Yuma, and the momentum gained over the weekend in Tucson, “We have a lot of momentum going into next week in Yuma, you know we had a pretty rough start there last year and got things going pretty good the second night and got more momentum but right now the cars better than it’s ever been.”

Drawing the number two pill for the night’s “A” Feature, Crockett started alongside Brian Brown with Brown jumping to the point at the green.

Stopping for a lap two red flag that saw Brandon Hahn flipping after contact with an infield tire, Brown continued to set the pace with Crockett in tow. As Brown worked to extend his lead, slower traffic would come into play on lap seven; giving Crockett a chance at the lead with Jeff Swindell closing to battle for the runner up spot.

Able to work to a clear track, Brown distanced himself to a half straight-a-way before traffic again became a factor with Crockett and Swindell once again pulling within striking distance before the Casey’s General Store No. 21 cleared the surrounding drivers.

With the race seemingly in hand, Brown raced to the final five laps with everything going his way. Working the hub of the Tucson International Raceway, Brown once again found himself surrounded by slower cars with Crockett working the cushion and closing in.

Coming around to complete Lap 27, Brown would be forced off the bottom of the track, leaving the bottom groove open for Crockett to diamond the entrance of turn one for the pass on Brown; taking the top spot exiting turn two.

Roger Crockett would go uncontested as Brian Brown settled for the runner up spot with Jeff Swindell rounding out the podium despite a lack of brakes for the better part of the night’s feature event. Christopher Bell advanced from ninth to grab fourth with Tony Bruce, Jr. rounding out the top five. Johnny Herrera crossed the line sixth with Willie Croft, Danny Wood, Wayne Johnson, and Lucas Wolfe completing the top ten.

BMRS Heat one went to Tony Bruce, Jr. with Willie Croft taking Wesmar Racing Engines Heat two. Josh Baughman was the victor in the Saldana Racing Products Heat three with Danny Wood picking up Ti22 Heat four.

SBI Fuel Bladder B-Feature one belonged to Joshua Hodges with Cole Wood taking the Joie of Seating second B-Feature.

Brian Brown captures Lucas Oil ASCS season opener

Bryan Hulbert - TUCSON, Ariz. (February 22, 2013) On a very cool Arizona night, Grain Valley, Mo. native Brian Brown parked the Casey’s General Store, FVP, Searsboro Telephone No. 21 in victory lane on night one of the Old Pueblo Classic presented by Print Place at the Tucson International Raceway with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV American Real.

Charging from tenth, Brown commented on the drastic change in the track from the start of the night to the A-Feature saying “it was awesome”.

Highlighting his drive from tenth to win, Brown admitted his start was not as good as it could have been and in fact put him behind the eight ball, “I fell to about fifteenth or sixteenth” commented Brown. “I messed up on the start and got high but I just need to thank everyone with this Casey’s General Store, FVP entry. This has a Charlie Garrett engine that Don Long provided from Searsboro Telephone and we really want to thank him because we’ve really got some power now and that’s what it’s going to take to out run these guys’ night in, and night out.”

Riding eighth on a Lap 7 red for the No. 21k of Kyle Sager who was running seventh before sailing over the wall in turn three, following contact with a lapped car, Brown’s restart would propel the No. 21 into the top six with a pass on Justyn Cox and Jeff Swindell while the MVT No. 45x of Johnny Herrera led the field with Brad Loyet and Christopher Bell in tow.

Working on Lap 11, Brown advanced into fifth with Roger Crockett and Christopher Bell in sight in the fourth and third positions. Entering turns one and two, the Print Place No. 4x of Bell would slow suddenly before spinning entering turn three with flat left side tires following a run in with one of the large tractor tires that line the infield of the Tucson International Raceway.

Utilizing the inside line of the Arizona oval, Brian Brown worked into third with a slide job on Crockett before taking over the running up spot from Loyet with ten laps to run.

Pacing the bottom as Herrera began working into slower traffic; Brown closed the gap to a side by side race for the lead on lap eighteen before taking the front spot on the nineteenth circuit.

Brown would go unchallenged in the Casey’s General Store No. 21 with Herrera crossing the line second. Roget Crockett advanced from eighth to round out the podium followed by Jeff Swindell from seventh, and Wayne Johnson from thirteenth.

After a broken lower shock pin relegated the Oil Medics No. 18 of Tony Bruce, Jr. to the tail of the field, the Liberal, Kan. racer advanced to a sixth place finish. Brad Loyet, after running second for the better part of the feature, faded to seventh with Jason Johnson earning the PitstopUSA.com Hard Charger of the Night after engine troubles forced the Roush/Yates No. 41 to take a provisional and start twenty-third. Twelfth starting Seth Bergman improved to ninth with Lucas Wolfe able to fight back to round out the top ten after begin caught up in the Lap 7 incident involving Kyle Sager.

Heat Race victories went to Christopher Bell in BMRS Heat One with Herrera taking Wesmar Heat Two. The Saldana Racing Products Heat Three was won by Dustin Morgan with the Ti22 Heat Four victory going to Justyn Cox. Rod End Supply Heat Five completed the early qualifiers with Lucas Wolfe grabbing the win.

Aaron Retuzel grabbed the SBI Fuel Bladder first B-Feature with Logan Forler taking the second B-Feature presented by the Joie of Seating.

Racing at the Tucson International Raceway continues Saturday, Feb. 23 with races scheduled to begin at 6:15pm (MT). Live PPV can be found at http://www.racinboys.com.

Dustin Morgan looking for smooth 2013 season

Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (February 19, 2013) A nickname bestowed upon him by the Frolic Bar during his days of non-wing racing in Indiana, Dustin Morgan is certainly not afraid to live up to the “Full Blown Chaos” moniker.

With the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV American Real opener now only days away in Tucson, Arizona the Ark Wrecking No. 93 will make the trip west to make practice at the Arizona oval this Thursday.

Running the No. 2 in 2012, Dustin was asked why the change back to the No. 93. Simply put, Morgan explained, “It’s just the number that’s been my favorite numbers that I’ve raced with for a good duration when I was younger. Last year my Dad wanted us to get his No. 2 on there for a while but we agreed to go back to the No. 93 cause it’s a number people know me for as well.”

Coming off a fairly successful 2012 season with the Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real that included his first National Tour victory at the Cocopah Speedway in Yuma, Ariz., Morgan’s confidence level is much higher going into the Tucson season opener.

“I think we’re going to be better as a team for, only because me and [Jimmy] Jones just have a lot more laps under our belt going into this time than last year” explained Dustin.

Taking more on the season opener, Dustin grouped himself among drivers who are certainly ready to get out of the shop, “Everyone’s got that itch. It’s been a long winter, even though Chili Bowl was here, but we’re just going to go in like we did last year knowing we were quick.”

Referencing Jimmy Jones, who turns the wrenches on the Eaton Industrial Coating No. 2 Maxim, the question was asked as to how the pairing came about. While racing non-wing in California several years ago, Morgan found himself in a situation that he just wasn’t happy with.

Knowing of Jimmy Jones and finding out Jimmy was available to work; the two took time to bring in one of Dustin’s winged cars from Oklahoma and debuted as a team at the Manzanita Speedway in Phoenix, Ariz. The duo has been together ever since, and as Dustin put it, “We have good relationship working together at the race track, which is hard to find, and so far it’s been working out so why change it. We’ve got a good friendship on the outside of the racing world so that definitely makes it easier.”

Asked about his days in the non-wing cars, Dustin feels that his start without the wings in some ways hurt him as a driver, “I think me starting without the wing, and jumping to the wing kinda made me a little sloppier as a wing driver because I had a real bad shaking problem. I still got it to this day” commented the Owasso driver. “I’m definitely getting better and getting faster, and faster, so now when I jump back into a non-wing deal, I’m a lot smoother than I was back then, but I think, running the winged taught me better habits.”

Among the dozen drivers that comprise the Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real full time roster, the 2013 season begins at the Tucson International Raceway on Friday, Feb. 22 and Saturday, Feb. 23. The two day event will be preceded by a practice night on Thursday, Feb. 21 starting at 7pm. For more information, log onto http://www.ascsracing.com.

“The Flying Fossil” makes his return

Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (February 18, 2013) The 2012 season was not what Danny Wood expected. Earning a thrilling last lap victory at the Cocopah Speedway just outside Yuma, Ariz. to start his season off, the season seemed to going swimmingly until engine problems, coupled with a family emergency sidelined “The Flying Fossil”.

Despite the setback, there was a silver lining as Danny Wood returned home to begin expanding his trucking company. Hitting select shows throughout the remainder of the 2012 season, the time away allowed Danny to rebuild his team and get a head start on a 2013 return.

Asked about the changes made while away, the biggest came with a change of engine builders. Trying a Shark Racing Engine towards the end of 2012, Danny was pleased enough with the engines performance to make the switch to the Washington based engine builder.

“We’ve been needing more bottom end on our motors and right there towards the end of the year we sent one of our motors to shark and had Marc [Husson] go through it and he was able to make some changes” explained Wood. “I talked with Sam Hafertepe, Jr. and he was having the same problems and we were just having to wind those motors so much, and then they would just run hot.”

Having his own business, Danny has to walk a fine line between racing and working. One of the biggest challenges he faces is having everyone in place to allow him to race, “It makes it tight for me a little bit, you know, and I’ve had some growing pains these last few years” said the Norman, Okla. native of his business.

“I’ve really grown and put on a lot more trucks so now I’ve been trying to get everything in place to where I can appoint someone now a little bit to watch things so we can get some time away to do things that we want to do.”

With a new design on the Statewide Services No. 81 for the 2013 season, Danny will again welcome D&J Land, Flying “J” Ranch, A-Plus Lawn Care, Smiley’s Racing Products, Hoosier Tire, and J&J Chassis to the lineup of sponsors for the 2013 season.

Longtime friends with the owner of Statewide Services, the pair have a great love of racing “Jim and I went to school together and he just enjoys it. He’s helped me quite a bit, well as say quite a bit he has helped here and there along the way because he just enjoys racing, and enjoys being around it. He called me about doing this deal last year and I was like heck yeah, let’s do it.”

Keeping everything low key and laid back for the most part, the pair are serious about their racing, “When we roll up we want to win every race. That’s our goal every time we show up but if we run second, or run tenth, then that’s fine.”

Even with the goal of winning, the veteran driver was clear that he, and his partners, are more than welcome to the idea of winning and putting on a show for the fans, but realize that there are things beyond just winning, “We are not going to get ourselves into a stupid situation that’s going to tear up our equipment. If it’s been raining and we have to put on a show that’s one thing, but I won’t put up with a man-made mess.”

Bringing up his nickname, Danny laughed about the origins of the name, “You know when that deal first started, and Johnny [Gibson] gave me that name when I was running the Outlaws; my wife hated it. You just don’t make a woman look old but she’s gotten over it and the fans really like it.”

With the years of experience, the A-Plus Lawn Care No. 81, has a simple goal of consistency for the 2013 season. Asked what it takes to maintain the momentum from track to track, Danny’s answer was simply about routine, “We got a set routine that we do and keep records of what the tracks are, and what size they are and what changes we make. We have a standard setup and just kind of work in from there.”

Danny Wood’s season begins at the Tucson International Raceway on Friday, Feb. 22 and Saturday, Feb. 23. The two day event will be preceded by a practice night on Thursday, Feb. 21 starting at 7pm. For more information, log onto http://www.ascsracing.com.

Golden Triangle Raceway Park latest addition to Lucas Oil ASCS lineup

Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (February 18, 2013) Nestled in the Gulf South of the United State, Golden Triangle Raceway Park in Beaumont, Texas is the latest addition to the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV American Real.

Perfect timing puts Swindell back on ASCS Tour

Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (February 18, 2013) With a last name like Swindell, it isn’t hard to garner attention and Jeff Swindell is not short on the families pool of talent. Absent from the full time scheduled of the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV American Real in 2012, that didn’t stop the Bartlett, Tenn. driver from winning on four occasions.

First at the Dodge City Raceway Park in the Randy Washburn owned No. 0, then at the Devil’s Bowl Speedway in the Hammers backed No. 94, the pair of weekend sweeps solidified Swindell’s plans to return to the road full time.

Asked if the 2012 season was used to regroup, and recharge, Swindell replied, “I had some things I needed to take care of and we got that headed down the right path.”

Commenting on the wins at Dodge City and the Devil’s Bowl, Swindell was modest in his response, “We just worked into a couple of real good racing programs. Randy Washburn’s guys for the Dodge City race week and the Hammers actually midsummer.”

Taking about his upcoming season, Jeff’s words would be good advice for anyone new to the sport of racing. Speaking of teams, and team building, the veteran driver explained, “It’s all a matter of everything gelling, you know, and people working together. We got real lucky with two different teams that way. We’ve built on that and have, and think we have, a real good program built this year.”

When asked how he and the Hammers team got together, Jeff explained that he had seen the car but had never met the owners which he found surprising, seeing as both are originally from the Memphis area.

Chuckling about the story, Jeff explained that the Hammers had reached out for him to drive the car, “He [Mike] had called and asked me to drive the car years ago when I wasn’t racing at all and I don’t even remember it.”

Hearing the call of the Hammers in 2012, the team quickly formed and took off.

Picking up additional sponsorship for the R&A Farms & Pearson Farms No. 94 in the form of Headman Headers colors, the decision for Swindell to return was a much easier one, especially following the struggles of the 2011 season, “Headman Headers come on board with the Hammers’ group and I think, well, it’s all a matter of who you’re with, you know, I think it’s more than anything” commented Swindell.

“The year before last was a struggle for us. We had a lot of people helping but didn’t have any real monetary help so I just kind of had to pay the bills myself. A few wins we should have had we didn’t get so that kind of hurt us, but I think we have everything lined up and in order for this season. “

With the new partnership with the Hammers family, it brings to light the importance of timing in racing. Whether off the tack or on, with the years of experience, and patience, Swindell expounded on the subject by simply saying, “It’s all about timing; racing’s always been about timing.”

Jeff elaborated on the matter by adding, “It’s always being at the right place at the right time to get with the right guy, you know, whether it be a really good Crew Chief that you can work with on some pretty decent stuff, or whether it be some really good stuff that you can work into and get it going with the help of a few guys.”

With long time crew friend and crew member Curtis Davis, along with son Asa working to get the Headman Headers / H&H Container Services No. 94 ready for the road, added help from brother Sammy has not gone unnoticed, “Sammy’s been pretty instrumental in some of our set ups, and learning the new Super Shox; very instrumental.”

With fresh Fisher power, and brand new J&J Chassis’ at the ready, Swindell has surrounded himself with people whom he enjoys working with, and being around, “I think that’s going to make a big difference” Swindell said.

“Everybody down there is really relaxed, and looking forward to the year and when you can enjoy it, and have fun with people who you enjoy being around, it just makes life a lot easier. You can get more things done, and when you can get more things done, I think it helps you get ahead of the next guy.”

A short tack ace, Jeff explained that the short track program is probably the biggest improvement the team needs to make in the 2013 season. A past champion at the Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Ark. Swindell looks forward to getting out west for the season opening weekends in Arizona.

Despite begin bigger tracks, Swindell is confident saying, “I think we’re a lot better than most on the big tracks.” Commenting on Tucson, the veteran Swindell described the oval as one “that races a lot like a short track” due to the contact, and close quarters, which is often associated with the Tucson oval.

Confirming having never been to Cocopah Speedway, the $10,000 payday is certainly a high point to start the season, “That pumps ever body up. Sometimes it pumps people up a little too much too, but that’s the nature of the beast.”

With a line-up of drivers that is among the stoutest of any year with the Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real, the field of cars presents a true challenge to all who look to win. Asked about the field, Jeff replied, “It’s going to be as hard to win races as it is on the Outlaw deal. It’s just a different program.”

The 2013 Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real begins at the Tucson International Raceway on Friday, Feb. 22 and Saturday, Feb. 23. The two day event will be preceded by a practice night on Thursday, Feb. 21 starting at 7pm. For more information, log onto http://www.ascsracing.com.

Raising the bar: Jason Johnson set for ASCS title defense

Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (February 16, 2013) Forming Jason Johnson Racing [JJR] in 2010, Jason Johnson set out to make racing his career. Four years later, the “Ragin’ Cajun” has improved to three Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real driver’s championships, along with three consecutive owner’s championships to show for his efforts.

Along with his business partner Alan Haynes of Australia, the pair joined forces with Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. for the 2012 season; bringing Roush/Yates engines to the Mesilla Valley Transportation / H.M. Racing No. 41 Maxim. The mix would prove lethal as Jason rattled off 26 podium appearances, 39 top fives’, 47 top tens’, and a season leading 14 wins en route to the 2012 Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real crown.

Even with a schedule that spans across several sanctioning bodies in 2013, Jason Johnson will again make his bid for the ASCS title. With a chance to earn back to back crowns, Jason reflected on the possibility and what it takes to win championships, “Really, it’s going to be consistent of carrying the momentum thru the past few season, but at the same time, we look to raise the bar.”

The Eunice, La. native added by saying, “Championships are won back at the shop with hard work and endless hours; making sure we are 100 percent prepared.”

With the every changing world of racing, the technology seems to be progressing at a pace never before seen. Despite the simplicity of a Sprint Car, in terms of the lack of electronics seen in the higher levels of auto racing, the basic setup packages are constantly advancing, “You have to realize that technologies changing with racecars, tires, shocks, and parts” said Johnson. “It’s important that, we stay on top of these things and to be willing to try new stuff; to find more speed at places that we need to improve at.”

In regards to improving, Jason for the most part is pleased with his big track program, but feels that his shot track program is where more work is needed. Giving light that most of his wins in 2012 were at tracks three-eighths and bigger saying, “It’s important to concentrate on these quarter miles and try to better our program, especially when the track is heavy at the beginning of the night. With the ASCS format, heat races are just as important to position yourself for the "A" main."

With the 2012 season being the first on the Roush/Yates engine program, Jason explained that although there is a difference between the Chevrolet based engines he had used in years past, and his new Ford power plants, it wasn’t so much more power, but where the power band is in comparison. “The Roush Yates Fords seem to run harder on the top end" explained Johnson. "Because 360 racing is much about momentum, the torque band of the Roush Yates engines makes it is easier to maintain that momentum."

Keeping crew and cars intact with Maxim Chassis again the frame of choice, Phillip Dietz will again assume the role of Crew Chief for the AccuDoc Solutions / Fischers Body Shop / Durst No. 41 Diecast.com entry. Tim Courmier leads the Stenhouse Jr. Racing team in sense of organization, with Jamie Martin coming on full-time after a three month temporary position last summer.

Giving Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. his first championship as a car owner / business partner, Jason explained that Ricky never pressured anyone for a championship.

“Ricky’s a racer himself, and he wants us to prosper as a team. He was more about the team, that we employ inspirational personal, who enjoy waking up every day and looking forward to working for Stenhouse Jr. Racing. To build a team for years to come.”

A personal change for Jason going into the 2013 season is the addition of a child, as Jason’s wife Bobbi is expected to give birth to their first son sometime during the racing season. Asked whether or not the addition has changed his outlook on his career in racing, Jason replied, “Not to this point today. Everything is just normal right now because it’s still just the two of us. I can assure you when the child arrives, I will be a proud happy father. The outlook of life might change a little bit but we chose, as a couple, that this is the career path that we both wanted to pursue.”

With a busy offseason that included time in Australia, Jason Johnson will enter the 2013 Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real with new support behind the No. 41 as Oakley, along with Ford Racing, Durst, Inc. and Fishers Body Shop join the JJR/Stenhouse Jr. team. New sponsors coming with Stenhouse Jr. Motorsports included Tony Lama Boots and Serratelli Hat Company, joining the existing Mesilla Valley Transportation [MVT], and Roush Yates Racing Engines.

Back to Hollywood: Herrera returning for 2013 ASCS season

Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (February 15, 2013) Nearing the close of the 2012 season, word was that Johnny Herrera was going to be cutting his racing back to a more local scheduled.

All indications were, it was going to take something big to keep the driver known as “Hollywood” from running a local/regional schedule around New Mexico and Arizona.

“My equipment was good last year; I just didn’t have the luck to go with it” said Herrera of his 2012 season that had led him to the decision to run regionally. “I had races I fell out of leading because I broke motors, and California put me behind when I crashed out there and hurt my back. I really wasn’t that great after that, I mean I was okay, but I wasn’t 100 percent by no means” said Herrera, “I was lucky if I was 70 percent with my back. I wasn’t comfortable.”

Despite back pain, that continues somewhat today, Herrera ended his season fourth in points. Not bad by any account with the driver of the Mesilla Valley Transportation No. 45x putting forth a consistent records with nine podium finishes along with 18 top fives’, and 42 top tens’ out of 61 dates.

Enter the 2013 season, and Johnny Herrera is suddenly back in the fold. Asked about what change, the Albuquerque, NM driver replied, “I got a phone call from Shawn [Petersen] after Little Rock and he asked what my plans where for next year.”

Elaborating on that phone call, Herrera admitted he didn’t really know Shawn, let alone ever really talked with him, “I had talked with him at the racetrack, you know, in passing but never really talked with him. He asked why I had left [Little Rock] early and I told him it wasn’t a point’s race so I was money racing and saving my equipment.”

Several phone calls later, the pair met prior to season ending events at the Canyon Speedway Park. Following the 2012 finale, Herrera made the trip to Petersen’s Irving, Texas shop.

“We really didn’t sit down and talk business until the last day I was there. I was asking for a lot less, but he has exceeded and done more already.”

With the backing needed, Herrera also has his goals in mind to payback the help that has been shown to him, “He’s helping me but at the same aspect I’m helping him” commented Herrera of Shawn Petersen. “I want to help, you know, with the help of Kenny Woodruff, and the other guys he has in place. I want to help him improve on his driving and learn more about his racecar, and how it works.”

Taking about other changes made over the off season, Johnny gave a sense of comfort in that he would have a full time crew member. With crew changing off and on during the 2012 season, the addition of a full time crew member gives Johnny the chance to focus more on the car, “I have a solid crew member that can stay with me so now, I have the same person with me every night so I’m not having to do all the thinking” said Herrera with a chuckle.

With Print Place stepping on board, Johnny Herrera will spend the next few days finishing the final details of the Print Place Motorsports / Mesilla Valley Transportation No. 45x as well as making sure the Shawn’s No. 4x is also ready for 2013 Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real National Tour.

With everything planned for the 2013 season that includes trips to races numbering near 90 for the Print Place time, Herrera plans to keep his focus on making sure not only his program runs smooth, but that Shawn continues to improve, and is able to walk away from the 2013 season with the Brodix Rookie of the Year.

Loyet all about focus in second season

Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (February 13, 2013) Despite his relatively young age, Brad Loyet is no stranger to the world of Sprint Car racing. Behind the wheel for twelve years, Loyet’s claim the fame came with the Lucas Oil POWRi Midgets where the Sunset Hills, Mo. driver claimed three championships.

Advancing to the Speedway Motors ASCS Warrior Region in 2011, Loyet’s season could be a highlight reel in itself; taking his third POWRi championship and first ASCS Regional title, along with Rookie of the Year, in one shot. After taking the team out west for the final leg of the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV American Real, the decision was made to try for the 2012 Brodix Rookie of the Year the following year.

Loyet succeeded; finishing sixth in points with a 2012 record that included his first win at the Santa Maria Speedway along with 17 top fives’, and 34 top tens’.

With an off season that included the Lucas Oil Chili Bowl National presented by General Tire, Loyet has kept much of everything in tact from his 2012 season saying, “We haven’t made any changes at all. It’s still the same three guys and our truck driver so it’s pretty much identical to what we had last year.”

Having a successful first year on the road with the Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real, Loyet is anxious for improvement. One advantage, he feels, coming into the 2013 season is “knowing where all the pit gates are” and having now raced at many of the tracks he will be returning too, “We’re looking for a top five in points this year. I think we have a very good chance at contending for the Championship.”

Joined by Miller Truck Lines prior to the Chili Bowl, Brad talked about how Miller came to be a sponsor on the Loyet Motorsports No. o5, “We already had a really great partnership with Vacuworx Global, and it’s one of those deals, where, Vacuworx knew that Miller was interested in doing something and they contacted them and we put this deal together.”

Reflecting on the addition of Miller Truck Lines, Loyet is grateful for the added help, “It a huge help. Anytime you have somebody that wants to put their name on your car for a whole year, it’s, well, it’s a big deal for a guy that didn’t have any sponsors years ago when I first started. You know, this is a dream come true to have so many people backing my efforts.”

Joining a cast of drivers that are among the toughest in the nation, Brad is quick to point out the tour drivers are not the only ones you have to worry about.

Having come from the Speedway Motors ASCS Warrior Region, Loyet has firsthand experience as a local driver taking on the traveling names. Giving credit to the competition, Loyet explained, “When you think about it, yeah we’ve got the same National guys that we contend with every week in and week out and we’re all capable of winning every single night, but biggest thing a lot of people forget about is the Regional competition we race against is all really tough too.”

Loyet expanded on the Regional competition by saying, “We kind of race on their home turf, and these guys race at these same racetracks all year long and they already know what they need to do.”

Despite the tough list of drivers that comprise the Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV American Real, the Missouri driver remains focused on his program, “You can’t really worry about all the other people you’re racing against” explained Loyet. “You’ve just got to worry about your own program and that’s what we’re doing this year and doing the best that we can do, and hopefully the points will take care of themselves, and we can get few wins along the way.”

Loyet Motorsports will again utilize the Maxim Chassis brand with J&D power supplying the engines for the Vacuworx Global / Miller Truck Lines No. o5 with help also provided by ButlerBuilt Seats, Speedway Motors, Penske Shocks, and Weld Racing Wheels.

Smiley’s Racing Products backs ASCS Lone Star Region

Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (February 4, 2013) A longtime supporter of the American Sprint Car Series, whether by contingencies or drivers sponsorship, Smiley’s Racing Products has been named the title sponsor of the ASCS Lone Star Region.

Supported over the past several years by Bill Jewell of The Oil Medics, it was the decision of Mr. Jewell to step away as his grandchildren have begun on the path to dirt track racing.

With Smiley’s Racing Products stepping into the fold, the Lone Star Region will again enjoy an expanded point’s fund, which includes support from Hoosier Tire. Asked about Smiley’s coming on board, ASCS founder Emmett Hahn replied, “Just like Bill, it seems like Tom and everyone at Smiley’s goes out of their way to make sure the drivers are taken care of. I’m glad to have them be a part of ASCS.”

A supporter of drivers throughout the nation, Smiley’s Racing Products has five locations throughout Texas and into Oklahoma, dealing in parts from Sprint Cars to Street Stocks.

Chuckling when asked about the years working with Emmett Han and ASCS, Smiley’s owner Tom Lorenz said, “It’s been a lot of fun working with Emmett Hahn, whether it’s racing or golfing. I look forward to the day when I can beat him in at least one round of Golf.”

“Seriously though, we’ve supported ASCS since they came on board with Hoosier. We were already big supporters of the Gulf South Region, while working with Keith Johnson, since they began and we’re glad to add the Lone Star Region for the 2013 season.”

The Smiley’s Racing Products ASCS Lone Star Region will begin its 2013 season on Saturday, Mar. 16 at Kennedale Speedway Park and will be headed by Andy Rea for the 2013 duration. Andy can be reached at 817-844-0254 or by email to offthewallgraphixs@gmail.com .

ASCS Partners With S.T.I.D.A. for Driver Safety

Bryan Hulbert - Tulsa, Oklahoma (January 17, 2013) A membership with the American Sprint Car Series offers insurance for drivers and crew but now an ASCS membership will provide deep discounts to supplemental insurance through the Short Track Independent Drivers and Associates (S.T.I.D.A.).

Offering drivers and crew a way to further protect themselves in case of injury, ASCS members can purchase coverage worth $500,000 for only $400 per year. The discount is $99 off the normal price.

The minimum coverage offered is $100,000 and costs $240 per year which is a $59 savings for ASCS members.

Along with supplemental insurance, the program also offers up to 20% off safety equipment from companies like Simpson, Hooker Harness, Bell Helmets, and K&K Insurance as well as a $300 savings from Hinchman Indy Raceware.

S.T.I.D.A. is also international so drivers that regularly travel to Australia and New Zealand to race during the American Winter will still be covered. The other way around, drivers traveling to the United States are also covered.

“Most racers don’t know where to start to find insurance for their racing” said ASCS Vice President Donna Hahn-Harris. “With S.T.I.D.A. our drivers have a company tailored to them that protects them at any track in the world”

Swindell Conquers for Fourth Straight Driller

Bryan Hulbert - Tulsa, Oklahoma (January 12, 2013) It took 25 years for a driver to win back to back Lucas Oil Chili Bowl National titles. Ever since then, that same name has stood atop the podium without fail as Kevin Swindell continued his family’s Chili Bowl dynasty this past Saturday night with his fourth Golden Driller in as many years. With the victory, the combined Swindell total stands at nine.

Drawing the number two pill Friday night for the winner’s redraw, Kevin positioned his US Fleet Tracking No. 39 alongside Sammy’s Spike No. 1 for an all Swindell front row.

Following a complete restart, Kevin paced where he started before surrounding the runner up spot to Kyle Larson just prior to the caution involving a half dozen drivers including Tony Stewart, Billy Wease, Bryan Clauson, Jac Haudenschild, Jerry Coons, Jr., and Jonathan Beason.

Single file past the cone, the caution again blinked on as Brady Bacon’s night ended upside down on the front straight. The elder Swindell paced the field to the restart with Larson keeping within three car lengths as the pair worked the inside berm before Sammy began building his advantage.

Working the cushion around the Tulsa Expo Raceway, the John Christner Trucking No. 39 worked back into contention for the runner up spot. Running inches apart, Swindell and Larson traded the runner up spot several times with Larson holding the advantage every time the pair crossed the line.

Slowing on Lap 10 for the spun No. 71k of Jason Meyers, the restart yielded a three way battle for the race lead as Larson led for the first time on Lap 13, swapping slide jobs at either end of the Tulsa Expo Raceway first with Sammy, then with Kevin as the trio went three wide with Larson holding the point as Kevin Swindell took over second. For the next five laps, the pair brought the sold out crowd to attention; screaming over the sound of the cars with the pair putting on a display of haymaker style slide-jobs that ended when Larson spun to a stop exiting turn four on Lap 18.

“That was fun” said Kevin of the battle. “We’ve been friends a long time and we’ve raced a lot of Sim racing and battled it out but I don’t think we’ve ever got to race, you know, real race and battle it out like that. We both have a lot of respect for each other so I think it showed that we were at least clearing each other. ”

With the lead in hand, Kevin Swindell pulled to a 3.367 second advantage before running down slower traffic on Lap 30 as Kyle Larson’s night ends with his second caution. Larson received a standing ovation for his earlier performance as he exited the track.

Giving the field a chance to catch up, Sammy would find all roads blocked as the groove narrowed around the bottom.

Racing again to the back of the field, Kevin had to wait for a line to open up; allowing Sammy to move in as the white flag was displayed. Trying to make the middle groove work, Kevin would fly the front end after contact sent the field scrambling, opening up the potential for a bottom side pass.

Asked about the nearly catastrophic turn of events, Kevin replied, “I tried to just get in line behind Jason [Meyers] and I think he had just kind of given up and he went in there real slow and I couldn’t even get slowed up that much and hopped over his right rear and the first nose I saw as black and all I thought was, well, there he goes.”

With both Swindell’s able to keep rolling, the restart saw Kevin Swindell capping off a perfect week having won every race he entered with Sammy Swindell earned the runner up spot for the third year in a row.

Questioned about his son’s now fourth consecutive title, Sammy replied jokingly, “Yeah but I’m the one putting the cars together.” Continuing, the five time champion called the accomplishment remarkable considering it’s been both cars up front for the past five years now.

Brad Sweet, after challenging earlier for the runner up spot, settled for third with Tim McCreadie fourth and Dave Darland climbing from eleventh to complete the top five.

Jerry Coons, Jr. advanced eight spots to finish sixth with Shane Golobic coming from sixteenth to seventh. Bryan Clauson improved a dozen spots to eighth with Billy Wease posting his best A-Feature finish of ninth while earning the Hard Charger of the Race, coming from his twenty-second starting spot. Cory Kruseman round out the drivers in the top ten.

Qualifying features began with Trey Starks and Danny Smith each winning in the K-Features. Kip Hughes and Shane Cockrum grabbed J-Feature wins with Riley Emmel and Bobby Michnowicz taking I-Features.

Tyler Robbins and Blake Edwards were victors in the H-Features which saw Mike Goodman’s string of advanced come to a close at four after tangling with another driver. Travis Berryhill and Cody Ledger picked up the G-Features as Blake Hahn and C.J. Leary topped the F-Features.

E-Feature wins belonged to Joey Moughan and Jesse Frazier with Josh Lakatos and A.J. Fike winning the D-Features.

Following opening ceremonies, C-Features wins went to Bobby East and Alex Schutte while the B-Features saw Gary Taylor and Jerry Coons, Jr. race into the night’s A-Feature.

Of the 48 rookies at the 2013 Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals presented by General Tire, California’s D.J. Netto earned the highest finish of any as the only Rookie to qualify for a B-Feature finishing seventeenth after spinning early on.

Boat Sails to Vacuworx Qualifier Victory

Bryan Hulbert - Tulsa, Oklahoma (January 11, 2013) Pacing the full 25 laps of Friday’s US Fleet Tracking A-Feature, Phoenix, Arizona’s Chad Boat captured his first Chili Bowl prelim victory, setting himself up to repeat the success of his Father Billy Boat who earned the coveted Golden Driller in 1997.

“It’s really special” said Boat of his win. “I’ve been coming here for seven years and only made the A once, so every other year has been a disappointment for sure.”

Slowing early for the spun No. 35D of Brett Felkins, the majority of the field made use of the hub with the caution displayed again on lap three for the No. 29 of Brandon Hahn.

At speed with twenty-two laps remaining, Boat began moving his John Lawson owned mount up the track as the cushion began working in. Finding the highline first, the No. 3DD of Dave Darland began his run; taking third on lap nine and second on lap ten.

Unable to run down Boat as both drivers ran hard on the highline, the Phoenix driver advanced to an early 2.5 second advantage prior to a lap fifteen caution involving Jon Stanbrough who slowed to a stop after slapping the wall entering turn one.

Going green briefly on the next restart, Brandon Hahn’s No. 29 ended up on its side; collecting third place Levi Jones and nearly collecting second place Dave Darland in the process.

Underway with ten laps to complete, Boat and Darland worked the cushion; opening to a sizable advantage as the mix for third saw Cory Kruseman move into the picture with a pass on Billy Wease who continued to challenge on the inside for the show position.

Rebounding from a Qualifier flip that put Kruseman eighth in the line-up, the Ventura, California driver pursued Darland into the final circuits.

Coming to the white flag, the Lucas Oil No. 21k dove for the slide job, pinning Wease to the bottom groove in order to take the runner up spot from Darland who also had to hold off the No. 38 for third entering turns three and four.

With no time to catch Chad Boat as the Curb Records No. 15x scooted to a satisfying win with Kruseman’s last lap heroics earing the No. 21k the runner up spot with Darland able to hold off Wease for third with Trevor Kobylarz sneaking into the top five in the final laps.

Jokingly, Darland commented on the last lap pass by saying, “It got be a good question there in the last lap whether I was even going to finish in the top three. Somebody was under me there for the third spot after Cory gave me that dirty slide job to get me into Turn 1. He might have learned that off of me.”

Asked if he was pleased with the night’s results, Kruseman’s reply was one of satisfaction, “I turned it over and ripped the Battery out of it and we had every break we could possibly get. I got to pull in twice and work on it and go back out and still run second.”

Jason Meyers came from ninth to sixth with Daryn Pittman from eleventh to seventh. Justin Allgaier also climbed through the standings from fifteenth to eighth with Austin Brown following suit from fourteenth to ninth. Ryan Bernal was the biggest mover of the race advancing from twenty-first to round out the top ten.

The final eight Heat Races of the week numbered eight with Jason Meyers, Levi Jones Chase Stockton, Austin Brown, Trevor Kobylarz, Daniel Robinson, Chris Coker, and Justin Allgaier taking the first checkered flags of the night.

C-Features went to Cody Darrah and Chase Barber with Alex Schutte and Tim Barber winning the B-Features.

A-Feature Qualifiers went to Ronnie Gardner, Bubba Altig, Chad Boat, and Levi Jones.

Final count saw 268 Drivers making role call for the Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals presented by General Tire. Of those 70 checked in for Friday’s Vacuworx Global Qualifying Night including drivers from Canada and Australia.

Saturday’s Lucas Oil Championship events begin at Noon with the K-Features. Line-ups for Saturday’s alphabet soup are available at http://www.chilibowl.com/profile/schedule/results.aspx?r=30993&rt=sch.

Kevin Swindell Perfect on Christner Qualifying Night

Bryan Hulbert - Tulsa, Oklahoma (January 10, 2013) Dominating his Heat and Qualifier was the only difference between Kevin Swindell’s night and that of his Father. Like Sammy on Wednesday night, Kevin earned the top of the US Fleet Tracking A-Feature line-up and led all 25 laps on Thursday’s John Christner Trucking Qualifying Night.

Pacing alongside Jerry Coons Jr., the Super Shox No. 39 left nothing to the imagination; jumping to a half straight-a-way advantage before the caution flew on lap six for the flipped No. 25B of Steve Buckwalter.

At speed, Jerry Coons Jr. made his bid for the race lead. Diving to the hub of turn one, Coons pulled the Dooling Machine No. 63 even with Swindell for the next pair of laps with Swindell holding the lead by inches before the cushion.

“I was ok and I just went back a little conservative after the restart” commented Swindell on his race with Coons. “I didn’t get a good one and two, or three and four, and I knew it would kind of go away. On the next yellow Dad walked out and said you are doing fine, keep doing what you are doing”

Pacing again under caution for the spun No. 67 of Rico Abreu, nine laps had passed as the field resumed with Swindell pulling to a sizable advantage as Coons was left to contend with Cole Whitt.

Charging from fifteenth, Tim McCreadie began his climb through the running order, breaking the top ten before the eleventh circuit in the Andy Bondio No. 47x. Pacing around the bottom berm, the 2006 Chili Bowl Champion held pace between sixth and tenth as attention turned again to the race for the runner up spot.

Trading back and forth for much of the contest, the battle between Coons and Whitt was joined by Brad Sweet with the Grass Valley, California native advanced past Whitt for third on lap eleven, then taking the second spot away from Coons the following lap.

Describing the preferred high line as “treacherous”, Sweet referred to mistakes made during his feature, “The car was really good when I’d hit it right but there was just so many spots on the cushion at the exit of four that it was just so big and ledgy and it was just easy to get tripped up on it.”

Cracking the top five in the later running of the US Fleet Tracking A-Feature, Tim McCreadie worked past Jerry Coons Jr. for third in slower traffic with a trio of laps remaining.

“Our whole night was behind” said McCreadie of his Thursday qualifier. “I’ve been here a few years and my success hasn’t been as good as my failures lately. I’m just happy to be up here with these guys.”

Closing on Sweet, the Watertown, New York native would settle for the final step on the podium as Brad Sweet earned second with Kevin Swindell navigating slower traffic without falter for his third prelim feature victory in as many years.

Jerry Coons Jr. crossed the stripe fourth with 2005 Chili Bowl Champion Tracy Hines navigating to fifth from thirteenth.

Cole Whitt would fade to sixth with J.J. Yeley seventh ahead of Chili Bowl Rookie D.J. Netto. A.J. Hopkins and Andrew Felker completed the top ten.

Thursday’s John Christner Trucking Qualifying Night began with eight Heat Races that saw victories going to Brett Anderson, J.J. Yeley, Brad Sweet, Matt Ward, Kevin Swindell, Tim Sine, Nic Faas, and Jerry Coons Jr.

C-Features went to Dakoda Armstrong and Tanner Swanson with B-Feature wins going to Troy Rutherford and Tim Crawley.

A-Feature Qualifiers numbered four with Kevin Swindell, Cole Whitt, Steve Buckwalter, and Andrew Felker topped the qualifying events.

Thursday night had 67 drivers from 19 states including Austalia draw in for competition.

Swindell Dominates River Spirit Qualifying Night

Bryan Hulbert - Tulsa, Oklahoma (January 9, 2013) Just like 2012, Sammy Swindell finished his Prelim Night under the double checkered flags as the US Fleet Tracking No. 1 swept all 25 laps of Wednesday’s US Fleet Tracking A-Feature.

With a familiar half grin, the crafty veteran spoke of his win by saying, “when you are this old, it doesn’t get old.”

Earning the pacers position, Swindell was never challenged en-route to his seventh Chili Bowl prelim victory while being chased across the line by 2008 Lucas Oil Chili Bowl champion Damion Gardner.

With the pair jumping into the one, two positions from the start, the race for third occupied most of the attention as the Loyet Motorsports No. o5T of Gary Taylor traded the show position with the Indy Race Parts No. 71 of Jac Haudenschild who grabbed the spot with nineteen laps remaining until the caution forced the field to the last fully completed lap.

With the majority of the field on the cushion, the race resumed with Swindell racing into the back of the field by lap fourteen.

Mired in slower traffic, the Swindell advantage would remain unchallenged as Gardner continued to pace in the runner up spot with Taylor holding third while Haudenschild worked to hold off Darren Hagen, Shane Golobic, and Mike Spencer as spots fourth through seventh where up for grabs prior to the races final caution on lap fifteen.

Getting the pass for third on lap nineteen, Haudenschild would join Gardner as the pair continued their pursuit of the Super Shox No. 1 but in the end Sammy Swindell continued his dominance of the Tulsa Expo Raceway.

Asked about his pass for third, Haudenschild replied, “I got around [Gary Taylor] early there and they put a yellow out and they put him back around me. We banged a little bit getting through it but that looks like the way you’ve got to do it here.”

Gary Taylor and Shane Golobic held on to fill out the top five.

Darren Hagen settled for sixth with Bryan Clauson climbing from thirteenth to seventh. Mike Spencer, Dustin Morgan, and Brad Kuhn completed the top ten.

Wednesday’s River Spirit Casino Qualifying night saw eight Heat Races contested with Dustin Morgan, Stevie Sussex, Gary Taylor, Jac Haudenschild, Shane Golobic, Thomas Meseraull, Alex Bright, and Darren Hagen earning victories.

C-Features went to Kasey Kahne and Wes McIntyre with B-Features belonging to Bobby East and Jace VanderWeerd.

A total of four A-Feature Qualifiers were contested with Gary Taylor, Darren Hagen, Jac Haudenschild, and Sammy Swindell on top.

Wednesday’s Hard Charger was Bobby East having advanced from the night’s first B-Feature to finish eleventh.

The River Spirit Casino Qualifying Night at the 27th Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals presented by General Tire saw 66 drivers from 19 states as well as Canada draw in.

Larson Tops Warren CAT Qualifier; Swindell takes VIROC V

Bryan Hulbert - Tulsa, Oklahoma (January 8, 2013) Fresh off a four race sweep in New Zealand, Elk Grove, California’s Kyle Larson kept his streak of wins alive, celebrating a well-deserved victory with Steering Wheel absent doughnuts following a superb battle with Brady Bacon in Tuesday’s Warren CAT Qualifying A-Feature presented by US Fleet Tracking.

Earning the lead spot in the night’s A-Feature line-up, Larson stayed on point for the first three rounds before surrendering the top spot on lap three as Brady Bacon sailed the cushion off turn four.

“I knew it was going to get to the top within a few laps” commented Larson when asked about Bacon taking the lead away early on. “I really was focusing on finishing in the top three and wasn’t really too worried about him [Brady Bacon] getting by me but he was setting such a fast pace and I didn’t know how fast the other guys were behind me.”

With the majority of the field following suit to the cushion, slower traffic would approach quickly with the leaders finding the tail of the field by lap ten.

Taking to the hub to advance through traffic, the time spent around the berm was enough to allow Larson to begin closing the distance between the two.

As the pair of leaders raced on into heavier and heavier traffic, Tony Stewart and Casey Shuman continued a race long contest for the show position with Stewart putting the Chevrolet Performance No. 14 into the third spot on the sixteenth round.

Asked about the track, specifically being able to roll the bottom, Stewart replied, “At the beginning I think when they watered it was still a little bit greasy when we first started the race. It went away in a couple of laps but it was difficult for the first couple of laps to get going down there. As the pace kind of slowed down, my car got better from the halfway point on.”

As Stewart settled into third, Bacon raced to lap eighteen with Larson finding his chance at the lead with traffic holding Bacon to the bottom of the Tulsa Expo Raceway. Taking the PPM No. 99 back to the cushion, Larson would dive the bottom of turn one, pulling even with Brady down the back straight-a-way to take the lead entering turn three only to see the caution flag wave in turns one and two; reverting the field to the last fully completed lap.

Restarting with eighteen laps completed, Larson wasted no time going for the slide job, taking the lead exiting turn one and leading the remaining seven circuits.

“I got a big run on him into one and slid him, and that was kind of the move of the race” commented Larson. “After that I just focused on hitting my marks.”

Brady Bacon would try for the lead in the closing laps but fell short with Tony Stewart taking the final step on the podium. Casey Shuman held on for a fourth place finish with Chris Windom making up the top five.

Broken Arrow, Oklahoma’s Jonathan Beason advanced from his tenth starting spot to finish sixth. Despite dropping a valve in the final laps, Phoenix, Arizona’s R.J. Johnson held on for seventh with Finland’s Markus Niemela crossing the stripe eighth. Shane Cottle and Kevin Ramey rounded out the top ten.

Eight Heat Races were contested with victories going to Casey Shuman, Chris Windom, Brenden Bright, Sam Hafertepe Jr., Sean Dodenhoff, R.J. Johnson, P.J. Jones, and Shon Deskins.

The two C-Feature wins went to Darren Kingston and Kurt Mayhew with four A-Feature Qualifiers taken by Markus Niemela, Brady Bacon, Kevin Ramey, and Shane Cottle.

B-Feature victories belonged to Seth Motsinger and Zach Daum who earned the Hard Charger of the night, after a DNF in his Heat Race put the No. 5D last in the second C-Feature. Passing thirty-four cars through the C, B, and ultimately A-Feature, Daum ended up twelfth at the checkered flag.

Also a part of the Warren CAT Qualifying Night was the VIROC V. Headlined with fifteen drivers of who are either past Chili Bowl champions or driving for champion car owners, Kevin Swindell showed his continuing dominance of the Tulsa Expo Raceway with a closing lap pass on race long leader J.J. Yeley to earn his first, and third straight Swindell win in the Vacuworx Invitational Race of Champions.

Into total, Tuesday’s Warren CAT Qualifier saw 65 drivers draw in representing sixteen states and three countries.

The VIROC: A Happening

Bryan Hulbert - Tulsa, Oklahoma (January 3, 2013) It may not be an adaptation of Swan Lake, the performance of Beethoven’s Seventh, or the showing of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa but what happens at the Chili Bowl is without a doubt Art.

More than a form of Art, it is a happening. One that has transcended a generation with the Sons of Champions now themselves Champions in one of the racing’s greatest events. The graceful drift of Hoosier rubber against Tulsa clay seems so effortless in the hands of those who pilot these custom crafted machines of Steel, Carbon Fiber, and Plastic and for those who have achieved greatness in this world of Methanol driven dreams, there is one race that nearly stands on equal footing with Saturday’s Finale; the VIROC.

Celebrating its fifth year, the Vacuworx Invitation Race of Champions, as it is now called, brings these titans of the racing together for a one race showdown to decide who will have bragging rights for the next calendar year. Whether they are in by the grace of an Owner Champion or if they themselves have stood with the coveted Golden Driller hoisted above their head, it is the thrill of competing against those who are revered as the best that makes the VIROC a true test for anyone who has earned the title of Champion.

Featured on Tuesday’s Chili Bowl opener, the VIROC V will again bring the who’s who of the racing world together for a 25 lap test.

Submitted into this year’s VIROC, fifteen drivers will take to the Tulsa Expo Raceway during the January 8th opener:

1 - Sammy Swindell: The three time and reigning champion of the VIROC (2009, 2011, and 2012), the elder Swindell has five Golden Drillers to his credit along with the VIROC. Sammy will be driving the Swindell Motorsports No. 1

39 - Kevin Swindell: Where his Father has three VIROC titles, the second generation Swindell as three Golden Drillers in as many years to his credit. Kevin will be driving the Mike Curb/Swindell Motorsports No. 39.

24 - Tracy Hines: The 2005 Chili Bowl Champion enters this year’s event with new hopes for 2013. Piloting the Bob Parker backed No. 24, the Indiana native looks to better his 2012 finish of third.

21K - Cory Kruseman: The southern California non-wing ace has topped the Chili Bowl twice (2004 and 2000). Fielding his own Lucas Oil No. 21k, Kruseman’s best finish in the VIROC came in 2010 with an eighth place finish.

71 - Kyle Larson: At this point, there aren’t very many races in the world of dirt track racing that Kyle Larson hasn’t won. Fresh off a 4 for 4 run in New Zealand, the 2012 Turkey Night Grand Prix winner enters under the Keith Kunz/Curb Agajanian banner in the No. 71.

5 - Cole Whitt: A regular with the NASCAR Nationwide Series, Cole Whitt enters the VIROC aboard the Wilki Pak No. 5. Whitt’s best finish in the VIROC came in 2012 with a fourth place attempt.

1st - J.J. Yeley: The Arizona native is never short on excitement. Yeley has a pair of top five finishes in the VIROC with a fifth in 2009 and a fourth in 2011. The USAC Triple Crown winner will be behind the wheel of the McKinnie Motorsports No. 1st.

15x - Chad Boat: The son former Indy Car driver Billy Boat, the second generation Boat makes his rounds with the K&N Pro East Series but for the VIROC will be behind the wheel of the John Lawson owned No. 15x. The VIROC V marks Chad’s first attempt at the 25 lap event.

98 - Brad Sweet: Another VIROC Rookie in 2013, Brad Sweet will pilot the Gary Zarounian backed No. 98 in this year’s VIROC.

63 - Jerry Coons Jr.: Earning the National Midget Driver of the Year for 2012, Arizona’s Jerry Coons Jr. has secured his place in the VIROC for the first time. Coons will spend the Chili Bowl aboard the Dooling Machine No. 63.

47 - Damion Gardner: Known far and wide as “The Demon” the 2008 Chili Bowl Champion will pair with Andy Bondio for the 2013 Chili Bowl in the No. 47 machine.

47x - Tim McCreadie: A wild card at the Chili Bowl, the Late Model driver from Watertown, New York was the talk of the racing world when he upset the Chili Bowl field in 2006. Absent since 2011, McCreadie returns in the Andy Bondio backed No. 47x.

14 - Tony Stewart: A two time champion of the Chili Bowl (2007 and 2002), “Smoke” will again bring his Chevrolet Performance No. 14 to the Chili Bowl with hopes of not only breaking the Swindell stronghold but adding the VIROC to his resume.

56P - Jason Leffler: Returning in the Shane Hmiel owned No. 56P Long Beach, California’s Jason Leffler will look to improve on his third place performance in the VIROC in 2011.

Duinkerken and Andrews Among Shootout Stars

Bryan Hulbert - Tulsa, Oklahoma (December 30, 2012) - With only three of the eight Golden Drillers handed out on Sunday going to a previous winner, the 28th annual Speedway Motors Tulsa Shootout presented by Vacuworx Global saw a record number of entries for the featured classes with 990 officially drawing in for competition over the two day event.

A total of 241 races were contested on the ¼ mile Tulsa Expo Raceway with drivers from twenty-two states including Canada represented at the Micro Sprint Car extravaganza inside the Tulsa Expo Center. With the staggering number of cars and races, a third day is scheduled to be added in 2013.

With several first time winners at this year’s Tulsa Shootout, it was the “A” Class Non-Wing feature with Chris Cochran keeping the Driller in its home state that kicked off the night’s Championship Features. Pennsylvania picked up bragging rights in the 1,200cc Mini Sprints when Michael Dicely picked his first Shootout triumph. .

The Driller stayed in Tulsa as Chris Andrews became the first of three former Shootout Champion to pick up the coveted trophy in the Outlaw Non-Wing Division. The Junior Sprints saw a spirited battle as Jadon Rodgers took the Driller home to Indiana.

California’s Michael Faccinto rocketed to victory in the “A” Class feature event with Tulsa’s Brian McClelland taking the ECOtec driller. The Restricted “A” Class feature saw California’s Danhe Lynn McKay repeating her 2011 success with back to back Drillers. Taking a third Golden Driller back to the “Left Coast”, Heath Dunkerken returned to claim his second Outlaw feature championship in as many years, besting the 24 car field in the night’s 55 lap finale.

========================================

“A” Class Non-Wing

The “A” Class Non-Wing division brought the night’s Championship Features to order with the No. 79k of Tim Kent earning the pole in the 25 lap event. Jumping to the early advantage, Kent’s lead would be short lived as Rodney Stealy put his No. 40s machine on the point before a half-lap could be completed.

The first caution would fly on lap 8 as Chris Andrews and Jason Tyre tangled in turns 1&2. The restart would yield the races second caution period as a half dozen cars tangled on the exit of turn two.

Dashing to the cushion at the drop of the green, fifth starting Shane Cochran would give chase for the lead. Shadowing Stealy into the runner up spot on the initial start, the pair would run side by side for the next 4 laps with Cochran working the high line into the lead.

Slowing again on lap 13 for the spun No. 79k of Tim Kent and flipped No. 13 of Kevin Swindell, the field resumed speed with Concept Chassis No. 7c putting on a dominating performance for his first Golden Driller. J.J. Haley jumped up from seventh to take the runner up spot with early race leader Rodney Stealy settling into third.

==================================

1,200cc Mini Sprints

Michael Dicely finally broke into victory lane with the 1,200cc Mini Sprints, making this the first time the owner of Hyper Racing has won the coveted Golden Driller.

Following a pair of complete restart resulting from flips in turn one as well as the back straight-a-way followed by a false start after Trey Gustin spun from the pole. Gustin would regain the point since he did not stop.

Taking the green, the Lewisburg, Pennsylvania native spent the opening laps of the championship feature event battling for third, swapping the show position several times with Tyson Cross in the No. 09 and Bill Brickley in the No. 00. Cross would finally gain the advantage.

Battling for the lead from the start, the No. 9 of Trey Gustin and No. 15f of Aaron Farney would spin on the fifth circuit, handing the lead to Tyson Cross with Dicely in tow.

Under caution again on lap eight, the race resumed with the No. 87x of Liam Ryan advancing from seventh to second. Using a lap eleven restart to his advantage, Ryan would begin battling feverishly with Cross with the No. 87x utilizing the top groove. Swapping the point several times over a five lap period, the battle would blow up as Ryan made contact with Cross, sending the pair spinning with Ryan charged with the caution and electing to head to the pits. Cross would restart at the tail.

Assuming the point, Dicely never relinquished the inside line of the Tulsa Expo Raceway enroute to victory. Bill Brickley grabbed second with Jimmy Wood climbing from fiftheenth to round out the podium. James Horton raced to fourth with Blaine Schubarth making up the top five after starting eighth.

============================

Outlaw Non-Wing

Keeping a Golden Driller in Oklahoma, Chris Andrews was the first of three former Shootout Champion to take a Feature win; doing so in the Outlaw Non-Wing division.

Charging into the lead on the highline, the No. 79 used his front row starting spot to its full advantage, holding off the No. 7r of Rick Cook with the No. 52 of Blake Hahn holding third.

Slowing for a lap two incident involving the No. 9 of Jared Petersen, Hahn would manipulate the bottom of the Tulsa Expo Raceway to grab the runner up spot on the restart. Running a mix of lines from end to end on the Speedway, Andrews and Hahn began their fight for the lead.

Pulling even with Andrews on several occasions, Hahn would see his chance at the top spot vanish on lap fourteen following hard contact with the concrete in turn one, causing the No. 52 to begin slipping back in the running order.

Slowing for the finale time on lap fifteen following a flip by Frank Galusha, the final laps would see Chris Andrews victorious. Kinzer Edwards would make the passing into the runner up spot with three laps remaining followed by Brady Bacon, Blake Hahn and Rick Cook settling for a fifth place finish.

Junior Sprints

Putting on an absolutely spirited performance, the Junior Sprints took to the Tulsa Expo Raceway for an expanded 20 lap feature over the 15 laps contested in years past. With the initial start being called off the front row starter Deven Pearson collecting the No. 95 of Ryan Hunt, the field restacked with Pearson able to hold the point since he didn’t stop.

Slowing again after one lap, the field finally came to life with Jadon Rodgers working on Person for the lead. Coming together on lap four, the pair avoided disaster but allowed the No. 40 of Blake Battles into the fight. Going three wide out of turn four to complete lap five, Battles squeaked into lead.

Regaining his momentum, the No. 14j of Jadon Rodgers took the point on lap seven and never looked back despite slowing for cautions three additional times before taking the checkered flag. Blake Battle held off the hard charging Hank Davis who took the show position after starting nineteenth. Another mover in the night’s feature as fourth place Lynden Lebedynski who climbed from eighteenth with Dakota Earls rounding out the top five.

============================

“A” Class

Taking the first of three Golden Drillers back to the west coast, Michael Faccinto led flag to flag in the “A” Class Feature event.

Despite six caution periods during the 25 lap event, the No. 7j of Faccinto was at times able to stretch to a half-straight advantage over team mate Mitchell Faccinto. Getting a clean patch of racing following a lap seven caution, the No. 7j was able to run down slower traffic thus allowing Mitchell Faccinto and Jonathan Beason to begin closing in before a caution on lap nineteen brought the field nose to tail.

Under power for the remainder of the event, Michael Faccinto cruised to victory. Jonathan Beason was able to muscle by for the runner up spot leaving Mitchell Faccinto in third. Coming up from eleventh, Canada’s Liam Ryan claimed fourth with fifteenth starting Kevin Swindell completing the top five.

Dahne Lynn McKay had her work cut out for her as the eight starting No. 79 contended with the ever increasing rubber going down on the Tulsa Expo Raceway. Allowing cautions to work to her advantage, the California native raced into the runner up spot around Bailey Hughes on lap ten.

Pulling to the back bumper of race leader Kent Miller, the caution would end up bring the field together on lap thirteen as three cars ended up tumbling in turns one and two. Taking off for the final rounds, McKay moved Miller out of the preferred inside line exiting turn four to complete lap fifteen. From there the No. 79 was unchallenged to the win.

Kent Miller held on to the runner up spot with Bailey Hughes round out the podium. Hunter Fischer was fourth with Nathan Weido coming from fifteenth to complete the top five.

Running 55 laps in honor of Donnie Ray Crawford, the Outlaw division was greeted with a freshly tilled racetrack. Earning the pole through his Heat and Qualifier performances the No. 79 of Heath Dunkerken left little to the imagination as the Hanford, California driver screamed to his second consecutive Outlaw Championship, leading all 55 laps.

Leading at time by nearly three second, slower traffic was the only obstacles Dunkerken seemed to face despite seven cautions.

After trading the runner up spot for several laps, Brady Bacon would finally secure the second position away from Tyler Courtney. With slower cars intermingled among the lead pack, Courtney would end up being pushed down to fifth as Kevin Bayer climbed from tenth to third with Cale Thomas also posting an impressive run from fifteenth to fourth.

Chili Bowl Entries Nearing 250

Bryan Hulbert - Tulsa, Oklahoma (December 22, 2012) With just under twenty days remaining until the 27th running of the Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals presented by General Tire, the list of drivers has grown to 246 for the January 8-12, 2013 event.

Representing the United States, drivers from 32 states have submitted their names for a chance at a Golden Driller with California and Oklahoma each providing 35 drivers into the annual Midget extravaganza at the Tulsa Expo Center. Making the Chili Bowl and truly international event, drivers from Australia, New Zealand, Finland, and Canada will again make the trip to “Green Country”.

With entries submitted, several teams still have vacancies to be filled. Presently 15 cars are registered with a driver yet to be determined. Among the teams include Team Raypro, David Camfield Motorsports, Mark Bush Motorsports, and A.J. Felker Racing just to name a few.

A staple event of the Chili Bowl, the VIROC will enter its fifth year. Changing the company’s name to Vacuworx Global during 2012, the race will still be the VIROC but will be presented as the Vacuworx Invitational Race of Champions rather than the Vacuworx International Race of Champions. Scheduled for Tuesday’s Warren CAT Qualifying night, the list of drivers eligible for the VIROC V will be released in the coming weeks.

Over the past 26 previous events, 198 drivers have made the final A-Feature of the Chili bowl with 17 taking home the Golden Driller. Of the drivers who have made it into Saturday’s finale, the 27th Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals presented by General Tire will see 58 of them in action with six past champions also in the mix as reining three-peat Champion Kevin Swindell (2011, 2010, and 2009) is joined by Tracy Hines (2005), Cory Kruseman (2004 and 2000), Damion Gardner (2008), Tim McCreadie (2006) and of course five time Chili Bowl Champion Sammy Swindell (2009, 1998, 1996, 1992 and 1989).

Chili Bowl Entries List Continues to Grow

Bryan Hulbert - Tulsa, Oklahoma (December 17, 2012) With the deadline for the early entry discount scheduled for December 18th, entries for the 27th annual Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals presented by General Tire happening January 8-12, 2013 at the Tulsa Expo Center has grown to over 200 strong.

Already having accomplished the unthinkable with three straight Lucas Oil Chili Bowl National titles, Kevin Swindell joins the list of entries as the Germantown, Tennessee prodigy looks to pilot the Swindell Motorsports - Mike Curb / US Fleet Tracking No. 39 to an unprecedented fourth consecutive victory

Joined by his father Sammy Swindell, who has taken home five Golden Drillers (2009, 1998, 1996, 1992 and 1989) the pair will look to keep that “Chili Bowl Luck” on their side as an onslaught of talent has joined the ranks including 2012 Turkey Night Grand Prix Champion Kyle Larson.

Coming off an extraordinary year in almost every form of motorsports, the 2012 K&N Pro East Series Champion has wins at almost every major dirt track event that Sprint Cars have to offer. Lacking a Knoxville Nationals Title and the Golden Driller, the Elk Grove, California native will look to scratch one of those off the list on board the Keith Kunz / Curb-Agajanian No. 71.

A cast of many in this year’s Keith Kunz stable, Larson will be joined by Christopher Bell who captured the attention of the Sprint Car world when he earned the runner up spot at the 25th annual Comp Cams Short Track Nationals along with Rico Abreu who had a standout year with wins in King of the West as well as POWRi competition. Bell will pilot the Speedway Toyota No. 67W with Abreu behind the wheel of the Abreu Vineyards No. 67.

Joining the Keith Kunz line up as the Chili Bowl Rookie, Saskatchewan, Canada’s Riley Emmel will pilot the IWX Motor Fright entry with two time World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Champion Jason Meyer returning to Tulsa after three year absence on board the Advanced Racing No. 71k

With an already strong showing from the west coast, two time champion Cory Kruseman (2004 and 2000) returns with hopes of making his twelfth $10,000 to win feature event. Piloting his own Lucas Oil Products No. 21k, the Ventura, California shoe will field three additional cars with Tanner Berryhill and P.J. Jones representing the United States while New Zealand native Trevor Cooper looks to make his Rookie year a memorable one for the Kiwis.

With several teams announced, entries are still lacking from some of the races biggest stars.

Chief among those is the Orange Army. Headed up by Loyet Motorsports, a press release issued by the team revealed the line-up of drivers with Brad Loyet and Gary Taylor returning to the familiar o5 machines. New cast members to the Loyet camp include Kokomo, Indiana’s Shane Cottle along with Campbell, California non-wing ace Bud Kaeding.

Entries for the 27th annual Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals presented by General Tire must be post-marked on or before December 18, 2012 in order to receive the $150 entry fee. Entries may also be faxed to the Chili Bowl offices at 918-836-5517 in order to avoid the $200 entry fee.

A complete list of drivers for the Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals presented by General Tire can be found at http://www.chilibowl.com/entries/manual.aspx

The 27th Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals presented by General Tire will begin moving teams in on Sunday January 6, 2013.

The top three in each of the US Fleet Tracking Qualifying Night A-Features will transfer directly into the Saturday January 12th Feature event with the remainder of Saturday’s Championship Feature lined up according to the Qualifying night finishes.

2013 Chili Bowl Entry List Debuts with 113

Bryan Hulbert - Tulsa, Oklahoma (December 10, 2012) With the first days of the mercury dipping below freezing comes the undeniable sign that Emmett and Lanny’s gift to the racing world will soon be upon us as the countdown to the 27th annual Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals presented by General Tire comes under the 30 day mark.

With the first loads of clay being moved in starting December 11, 2012, the pre-entry list for the 2013 edition of the “Ultimate Indoor Race” debuts with 113 entries.

Among the list of Chili Bowl hopefuls includes 22 who have found their way into Saturday’s $10,000 to win event as well as a former champion with Tracy Hines (2005) behind the wheel of the Bob Parker / Spike / Toyota No. 24.

With the days beginning to tick away, the early entry deadline for the Chili Bowl is December 15th. Entries post-marked before the deadline will be $150. Entries post-marked after the deadline will be $200.

The current entry count for the January 8-12, 2013 spectacular at the QuikTrip Center’s Tulsa Expo Raceway has yielded drivers from 25 states as well as entries from Australia and Canada. Of the states represented, the Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals presented by General Tire’s home state of Oklahoma leads the charge with 19 entries with the “Golden State” of California sending 17. Always well represented, the state of Illinois completes the podium of states represented with 13.

The Rookie class, although some could hardly be called Rookies, currently stands at 18. Chief among the drivers looking to take on the tricky ¼ mile clay oval for the first time is 18 year racing veteran Robert Ballou. Scheduled to be behind the wheel of the Carl Sandy No. 16, Ballou spent the 2012 season chasing USAC National Sprint Car points behind the wheel of the MPHG Promotions No. 81. Ballou ultimately ended up tied for sixth.

US Fleet Tracking Named A-Feature Sponsor of the Chili Bowl

Bryan Hulbert - Tulsa, Oklahoma (December 3, 2012) Joining the Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals presented by General Tire for the 2013 edition, Oklahoma City based US Fleet Tracking will carry the distinct honor as the presenting sponsor for each of the Chili Bowl’s 5 A-Features.

When asked about joining the Chili Bowl in 2013, US Fleet Tacking Director of Public Relations and Marketing Sam Sims stated, “For us this is such a great event. The international level of the Chili Bowl is very interesting to US Fleet Tracking. It really represents our clientele and we want to be a part of something great.”

A global GPS tracking company tailored for Commercial Vehicle applications and Law Enforcement, US Fleet Tracking also specializes in Event Management with involvement in, according to usft.com, “Super Bowls XLI, XLII, XLIII, XLIV, XLV and XLVI, the 2010 Pro Bowl, the 2011 NHL All Star Game, 2010 Winter Olympics, and the 2012 Summer Olympics.”

Asked about being named the presenting sponsor of the 2013 A-Features, including Saturday’s 55-lap finale, Sims replied, “We are honored to be a part of it.” Giving a pause to reflect Sims continued by saying, “actually we are a little taken aback that we are the presenting sponsors for the A-Mains.”

Sims stated that US Fleet Tracking will also be present at the Chili Bowl Tradeshow to answer questions and display what it is that US Fleet Tracking does. “We set the standard when it comes to the industry. We do live tracking whereas most companies do real-time tracking which is much slower.”

Wayne Johnson and Bryan Clauson top the Western World

Bryan Hulbert - Peoria, Arizona (November 17, 2012) Tire conservation was key to the success of the 45th FVP Western World Championships presented by Sands Chevrolet as Bryan Clauson and Wayne Johnson collected a combined $15,000.

Getting the jump on Jason Johnson from the pole, Brady Bacon pulled the Oil Field Equipment No. 99 to the race lead with Johnson in tow. Burning tires from the onset, the pair quickly distanced themselves with Bacon working into slower traffic.

Giving Johnson the opportunity for the pass, the narrow groove would allow Bacon to the advantage. At speed between a pair of slower cars, neither driver could gain an advantage until a bobble on the part of Brady Bacon sent the XXX Race Co. No. 99 out of the groove entering turn three, allowing Johnson to take the top spot on lap twenty-three.

Slowing for a caution with seven to go that saw Logan Forler on the hook, the race resumed with Johnson leading three laps before his Right-Rear tire gave out. Brady Bacon reassumed the lead for a single lap before suffering a similar fate and in doing so handed the race lead to Wayne Johnson.

With tire to spare, Johnson paced the field to a $10,000 victory ahead of the FVP No. 21 of Brian Brown. Making good use of the highline following the final restart, Tony Bruce Jr. ran to third with Kyle Hirst and twelfth starting Johnny Herrera making up the top five.

Christopher Bell crossed sixth with Danny Lasoski climbing from sixteenth to seventh. Jeff Swindell was eighth, Jayme Barnes ninth, and Gary Wright tenth after starting twentieth in his final Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV A-Feature.

Non-Qualifier races belonged to Jack Dover, Travis Rilat, and Lucas Wolfe while B-Main wins went to Justin Henderson and Joshua Hodges.

Winning the coin toss at the start of the night to determine inside/outside for the lock-in drivers Casey Shuman would wheel the Hockett No. 77 to the lead to start the night's 25 lap A-Feature. Working the inside line to begin with, Shuman would surrender the lead on the fourth lap to the high riding Bryan Clauson.

Slowing for a caution on lap six for the No. 51 of R.J. Johnson, the race resumed with the field stuck to the cushion. Running into slower traffic within the first ten laps, Clauson rarely moved off the top groove as the rubber began going down.

Steadily moving away, Clauson would cross the finish line 4.155 seconds ahead of Casey Shuman for the $5,000 payday with Tracy Hines, Charles Davis Jr., and Josh Pelkey making up the top five. Mike Martin managed a sixth place run with Dave Darland improving from eleventh to seventh. Jerry Coons Jr., Mike Spencer, and Jon Stanbrough rounded out the top ten but was subsequently disqualified after it was confirmed that he has switched cars with car owner Shon Deskins prior to the A-Feature.

Johnson and Shuman shine on Night Two of the Western World

Bryan Hulbert - Peoria, Arizona (November 16, 2012) Night two of the 45th annual FVP Western World Championships presented by Sands Chevrolet saw races for the ages as local favorite Casey Shuman upset two time Western World Champion Brady Bacon for the win in the ASCS Non-Wing Canyon Region A-Feature while Jason Johnson grabbed his fourteenth win of 2012 and in doing so clinched the 2012 Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV National Championship.

Taking his first win since a prelim victory a month ago at the Short Track Nationals, Jason Johnson battled past Brian Brown following a late race caution to grab the win on night two of the 45th FVP Western World Championships presented by Sands Chevrolet.

Working to the green, Brian Brown would jump the early advantage before a complete restart was called far as Lance Norick spun exiting turn two, collecting Lucas Wolfe and sending Shawn Petersen flipping for the second time in one night. All three drivers retired to the pits.

The second start would see a single lap completed before Gary Wright slid off the top of turn two and tagged the wall bringing Wright’s night to an end.

Pulling the field around single file for the restart, the FVP / Casey’s General Store No. 21 would begin pulling to a sizable advantage as Justin Henderson worked to hold off the Oil Medics No. 18 of Tony Bruce Jr.

Getting the pass on lap four, Bruce would soon have his hands full as Jason Johnson worked into the picture. Battling back and forth for a pair of laps, Johnson would wheel the MVT No. 41 into the runner up spot on lap ten.

With slower traffic light around the leader, Jason Johnson would begin running down a nearly 2.5 second disadvantage. With both drivers working top to bottom on the Canyon Speedway Park, Johnson would pull to within a half second of Brown with elven laps to run.

Coming around to complete lap fifteen, the fight was on for the race lead. As the field worked to nine laps to go however, the caution lights blinked on as Justin Henderson rolled to a stop in turn four.

Knowing know that Jason Johnson was on his back bumper, Brian Brown began running defense. Protecting the bottom line, Brown would fight valiantly but it would be Jason Johnson getting the winning pass on the twentieth circuit. Brian Brown crossed second with Tony Bruce Jr. taking the last podium step. Jumping behind the wheel of the Minks Motorsports No. 1, Christopher Bell ran to a fourth place finish with Jeff Swindell completing the top five.

Johnny Herrera crossed sixth with Seth Bergman coming from fifteenth to seventh. Danny Lasoski grabbed the final transfer spot into Saturday’s A-Feature with Cole Wood and Rick Ziehl rounding out the top ten.

Qualifier wins belonged to Justin Henderson and Brian Brown. Heat Races were won by Cole Wood, Lance Norick, and Brian Brown.

In a battle that brought fans to the feet, local favorite Casey Shuman piloted the Jesse Hockett Racing No. 77x to victory. Starting side by side with Brady Bacon in row one, Shuman would grace the outside groove.

Battling into the lead thought the first two turns, the No. 77x began working away from Mike Bonneau who grabbed second from Brady Bacon on the start before the Infinity Shocks No. 99 bolted back into the runner up spot before a caution with twenty-three laps to run.

Resuming with Brady Bacon on his back bumper, Casey Shuman carefully worked the inside line. Never falling more than three tenths of a second behind even when slower traffic presented Bacon the opportunity to take over the top spot.

Side by side with the back of the field, both drivers had to vacate the inside groove to keep pace with one another going three and four wide with under ten laps remaining with Shuman never relinquishing the top spot.

Working out of slower traffic, the pair continued their battle before the red flag waved for the No. 6b of Bryan Swinehart who flipped violently off the top of turn four. Swinehart was unharmed.

Restarting with five laps to run, neither driver would let any distance come between them with Bacon finally moving to the high line to make a final lap attempt, laying down the fastest lap of the race but it was not enough to take the win from Casey Shuman. Bacon crossed the line second with Mike Martin coming from eighth to third. Mike Spencer and Mike Bonneau making up the top five.

Dave Darland marched from twelfth to sixth with Jerry Coons Jr., Kyle Hirst, Shane Cottle, and Dustin Morgan rounding out the top ten.

Qualifiers were won by Mike Spencer and Brady Bacon. Heat race wins belonged to Dustin Morgan, Ronnie Clark, and Brady Bacon.

Bacon and Clauson take Western World Opener

Bryan Hulbert - Peoria, Arizona (November 15, 2012) The 45th annual FVP Western World Championships presented by Sands Chevrolet opened with Bryan Clauson grabbing the ASCS Canyon Region A-Feature and Brady Bacon taking his eighth win of the 2012 season with the Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV.

It was a track just like Brady Bacon likes; technical, “It was just our kind of racetrack. Kind of heavy around the bottom and we just had a good car that would rotate around the bottom” commented Bacon. “We ran second both night’s here in the spring and ran good here tonight. We should be good in the Non-Wing car tomorrow so it looks like we could have a really good weekend”

Earning the pole through his accumulated passing points from his Heat Race and Qualifier, the “Broken Arrow Bandit” took little time running away from fellow front row starter Kyle Hirst.

Flying into slower traffic, Bacon kept his distance while the battle on the track picked up for fourth as Wayne Johnson worked on getting around Logan Forler. Finally clearing the No. 2L on lap seven, Johnson began running down Hirst before the caution flew as Aaron Reutzel slowed with a shredded left rear tire on lap ten.

The No. 1x would rejoin the field while at the same time contact from a lapped car would end the night of two drivers as Dustin Morgan found the front suspension knocked out of his Ark Wrecking No. 2, leaving Travis Rilat with nowhere to hide as the No. 39c plowed the back of Morgan. The drivers were running fifth and sixth at the time.

Back under green, Johnson would take a shot at second but to no avail. Taking advantage of a great restart, the Vacuworx Global No. 05 of Brad Loyet would shoot into the top five on lap eleven. Battling with Logan Forler for fourth, the race would be stopped on lap nineteen as John Carney II ended going end over end after contact from a slower car. Carney showed his displeasure with the Joshua Williams for the incident; having to eventually be drug out of Williams’ car.

Cleared of the accident, the race resumed with Brady Bacon going unchallenged for the reminder of the feature. Kyle Hirst held of a last lap attempt by Wayne Johnson for second. Johnson settle for third with Brad Loyet getting into fourth on lap twenty leaving Logan Forler to round out the top five. Henry VanDam grabbed sixth with Donny Schatz, and Jayme Barnes rounding out the final transfer spots into Saturday’s A-Feature. Aaron Reutzel and J.J. Hickle made up the top ten.

Qualifier wins belonged to Dustin Morgan and Kyle Hirst while Heat Races were claimed by Donny Schatz, Aaron Reutzel, and Wayne Johnson.

Earning the third starting spot in the 25 lap ASCS Canyon Region A-Feature event, Clauson would bolt into the runner up spot as Charles Davis Jr. grabbed the lead from the front row.

“It was really good you know these guys with the Ultimate Off Road No. 16 gave me a good race car and we’re off to a great start this week” commented Clauson following his Arizona triumph. “The Western World is still one of the marque sprint car events and one I haven’t really had the opportunity to win so being in position to win we are really excited going into Saturday. “

Slowing for a caution on the second lap, the race resumed with Davis working the high side. Completing lap three, the inside line would come to live for Clauson who dashed into the lead with Tracy Hines taking a shot for second but coming up short while Josh Pelkey and Jon Stanbrough made up the top five.

With slower traffic quickly become an issue for the race leaders, Clauson seemed to work seamlessly to advance his advantage to nearly two second while Hines worked past Davis for the runner up spot on lap seven.

Tracy Hines would hold onto second with Charles Davis Jr. making up the podium. Battle all race long for the fourth spot, Josh Pelkey would finally gain the advantage to hold onto fourth with Jon Stanbrough completing the top five.

Rick Ziehl was sixth with R.J. Johnson coming from fifteenth to claim the final transfer into Saturday’s $5,000 to win feature event. Bob Ream Jr., Matt Rossi, and Joshua Hodges rounded out the top five despite having to bring out a backup car following a crash on Wednesday’s Practice Night.

Travis Rilat Back in ASCS Victory Lane

Bryan Hulbert - Las Cruces, New Mexico (November 10, 2012) For the first time since the accident that nearly claimed the life of Travis Rilat the Forney, Texas driver was almost magical working the high side of the Southern New Mexico Speedway en-route to victory behind the wheel of the Xtreme Oil Field Technology No. 39c.

Becoming the twenty-fifth different winner of 2012 with the Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV, Rilat was jubilant following his win, “I tell you what we’ve been fast all year. We have several race wins this year but it’s been awhile since we got one of these National Tour wins. I can’t thank Richard and Lana enough for giving me the opportunity to drive their car.”

Gridding the car fifth, Rilat would fall to seventh on the start. Slowing for a caution on lap two, the race resumed with the A-Rock Material No. 12m of Kyle McCutcheon showing the way. Taking off to a sizable advantage while Johnny Herrera raced into the runner up spot, the caution would again wave on lap six; just as slower traffic was in the leaders’ sight.

Taking the green, Herrera would dive low on McCutcheon for the lead but would be unable to make the pass as the Alamogordo, New Mexico driver bolted back into the top spot. Pushing back into slower traffic, a wrong move while working under a slower car would send the No. 12m spinning to a stop.

Handing the lead to Johnny Herrera with seventeen laps complete, the MVT No. 45x would have to contend with the hard charging Travis Rilat. Utilizing the cushion, Rilat capitalized on a restart with twelve laps complete to begin working from sixth to third before the caution waved for McCutcheon.

Working side by side with Herrera on the restart, the No. 39c grabbed the point on lap eighteen; pulling away to the win despite working in and out of slower traffic. Herrera would settle for the runner up spot with Wayne Johnson charging from eighth to complete the podium. Jason Johnson was fourth with Dustin Morgan capping off his weekend with a top five finish. Logan Forler was sixth with Kyle Hirst, Brady Bacon, Kraig Kinser, and Jack Dover making up the top ten.

The night also featured a charity event for the March of Dimes and High Heels for High Hopes that had a Driver’s Auction as the highlight of the night’s fund raising with $12,850 raised by fans bidding on the top ten starters in the night 30 lap A-Feature. The winning bidder was awarded with half of the money raised, totaling $6,425 with the other half plus other monies raised donated to the March of Dimes.

B-Feature winners included John Carney II and Gary Wright.

Heat Race wins belonged to Johnny Herrera, Wayne Johnson, Seth Bergman, Jason Johnson, Jack Dover, and Matt Covington.

The Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV end out the 2012 season this coming week with the 45th FVP Western World Championships presented by Sands Chevrolet. The three day event is scheduled for November 15th, 16th, and 17th at the Canyon Speedway Park in Peoria, Arizona.

Bryan Hulbert - El Paso, Texas (November 9, 2012) Taking the past two weeks to reassemble his own team, Logan Forler was paid handsomely for his efforts with his first Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV A-Feature win at the El Paso Speedway Park in El Paso, Texas.

“There are so many people who helped me the past two weeks to get this car together. I just have to thank them for helping me” commented Forler on the front-straight.

Drawing the outside of the front row, the Washington native turned Arizona resident was out gunned twice by pole sitter Tony Bruce Jr. after the start was called back following John Carney II slapping the outside wall in turns one and two on the initial start followed by spinning No. 77 of Dalten Gabbard in turn four.

On the third attempt, the Steven Forler Trucking No. 2L shot to the race lead with Bruce and Kraig Kinser in tow. Pausing for a caution on lap two that saw Wayne Johnson and Brady Bacon have to pay a visit to the work area, the race resumed for a pair of laps before the Oil Medics No. 77x found himself with nowhere to go as Dalten Gabbard spun across turn four. Both drivers continued with minimal damage.

Back underway Forler would find the tail of the field in no time, allowing Tony Bruce Jr. and Kraig Kinser to begin closing in. As the trio raced into slower traffic, the battle on the track was for fourth as Kyle Hirst worked to hold off the No. 12m of Kyle McCutcheon before the caution flew for the spun No. 01 of Kyle Sager with twelve laps complete. The restart would be short lived as the red flew for Casey’s General Store, FVP No. 21 of Brian Brown who ended his night on his side exiting turn three.

Under green the fight four fourth continued. After racing out the B-Feuature, the No. 12m of McCutcheon began swapping the fourth spot with Hirst at either end to the El Paso Speedway Park before Hirst finally got the better of the battle on lap sixteen.

Battling back into slower traffic, Logan Forler would find himself being stalked again by Bruce and Kinser. With the laps starting to wind down, Bruce would begin to close the gap despite Nose Wing damage to the Oil Medics No. 18 but Logan Forler was not to be denied at the checkered flag. Tony Bruce Jr. crossed the line second with Kraig Kinser grabbing the final step on the podium as the caution waved shortly after the checkered flag as drivers spun in turns three and four. Kyle Hirst held on for fourth with Johnny Herrera able to crack the top five.

Jason Johnson came eighteenth to sixth with Matt Covington, Travis Rilat, Brad Loyet, and Jack Dover completing the top ten.

Brady Bacon and Gary Wright both took provisionals into the night’s Feature Event. Steve Kinser was given a Promoters Provisional.

Kyle McCutcheon and Jason Johnson each grabbed B-Main wins. Heat Race victories belonged to Tony Bruce Jr., Kraig Kinser, Kyle Hirst, Logan Forler, Jack Dover, and Dalten Gabbard. The Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV continues Saturday November 10th at the Southern New Mexico Speedway in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

March of Dimes Benefit to Highlight Las Cruces ASCS Event

Bryan Hulbert - Tulsa, Oklahoma (November 5, 2012) One of the highest human callings is to help those in need. To give selflessly to those whose world has been impacted by grief and strife so they might prop themselves up on and one day be able to repay society by doing the same for those who they find in need.

The Southern New Mexico Speedway in Las Cruces, New Mexico is earned a great reputation as a track that gives back to the community. With its involvement with the Cowboys for Cancer Research, Karsyn’s Krusaders, and the March of Dimes the Southern New Mexico Speedway has raised over $50,000 over the past two years for charity.

Looking to build on that reputation, the Southern New Mexico Speedway in association with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV, who will be at the Speedway on Saturday November 10th, will join with High Heels for High Hopes; an organization that benefits the March of Dimes to raise funds for cancer research as well as the families effected by premature births and other birth defects.

Becky Horner, who is the southern New Mexico Director for the March of Dimes, is pleased that the Speedway has chosen to help the March of Dimes, “the families that have been affected by the problems associated with premature births are very excited to be a part of this event. We look forward to a great night of racing.”

A special event for the New Mexico chapter of the March of Dimes, High Heels for High Hopes is one of two events held for the past six years as a fashion show that features local women who spend the year raising funds for the March of Dimes.

“The money that is raised will go to help research programs as well as families who have been affected by the problems associated with premature births” commented Horner. “Some of these children end up have lifelong problems and this will go to help those families and their needs.”

Spearheaded by USRA Modified driver Holly Jones, who in 2011 raised $6,000 for the High Heels for High Hopes campaign, the event will feature a Driver Auction that will incorporate the drivers who qualify for the top ten in Saturday’s A-Feature. The drivers will be lined up before the star to the A-Main and anyone in attendance will be given a chance to buy their favorite driver for charity. To give incentive to bid, the bidder whose driver wins the A-Feature will receive half of the total money raised with the other half going to the March of Dimes and High Heels of High Hopes.

According to Jones, if a driver she bids on happens to win all monies will be donated to the High Heels of High Hopes campaign.

Along with the auction, there will also be a Hot Wing Eating Contest with the potential for $10 per wing eaten in under 3:00 minuets. Holly Jones has also donated a Fire Suit and has received a donation of a Pyrotect Helmet that will be signed by the drivers.

Events at the Southern New Mexico Speedway are scheduled to begin at 6:30pm with the Grandstands opening at 5pm. General Admissions tickets are $20 with discounts for Children 11-15, Military Id, Seniors, and those with a University Id. Kids 10 and under will be admitted free of charge. The first 50 kids through the gate will receive a Goodie Bag.

2012 So Far - Lucas Oil ASCS by the Numbers

Bryan Hulbert - Tulsa, Oklahoma (November 4, 2012) Going into the final stretch of the 2012 championship hunt, it is only fitting to again breakdown the season's comings and goings.

At the last breakdown 30 events had been contested with the Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV. At this point 57 dates have been completed with 50 of those counting towards the National points total. Coming into the final month of the 2012 season a mere 5 nights remain to determine who will earn the $60,000 champions share of the nearly $250,000 that is up for grabs in the Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV points fund.

In the grand scheme of things, points are the Gold standard by which all seasons are measured. In that regard it is Jason Johnson who holds the Gold at the moment with a lead of 97 markers over series rival Wayne Johnson but to think that the deal is done would be farfetched.

Having swapped the points lead a staggering 10 times over the course of the season, it has been common for both drivers to fall as much as 150 points back from one anther only to rally back and retake the point.

If history has taught us anything it is that fate can be ruthless. As seen in 2011 when Shane Stewart saw his championship hopes nearly disappear in a heap of twisted metal at the 44th annual Western World, a point's swing in the final laps of the 2012 season is still possible.

Out of the Championship battle, Brady Bacon has nothing to be ashamed of in 2012. With a third place run all but locked up it will be the second straight year that the Broken Arrow native has finished on the podium as an Owner/Driver with the Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV.

Fourth place Johnny Herrera, who was runner up in 2011, looks to finish his season with a strong run to hold off Tony Bruce Jr. who holds fifth only 66 points behind the man they call "Hollywood". Bruce, who has a trio of wins in 2012, including the season opener at Canyon Speedway Park, has experienced the highest highs and lowest lows with mechanical problems that seem to be never ending for the Oil Medics No. 18.

In his Rookie season with the Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV, Brad Loyet has come a long way. Getting a National Tour victory at Santa Maria Speedway on July 29th, the man of many hometowns has managed to click off 16 to five finishes to go along with 32 top tens. Only 12 markers behind Tony Bruce Jr. the possibility of a top five finish, possibly top four, in the championship standings is not out of the question.

Seth Bergman has had a break-out year. One of the ten drivers in 2012 to earn his first Lucas Oil ASCS Nation Tour win, the driver of the P.P.M. No. 23 Eagle did it at the longest race of the season; The Rock and Roll 50 at "The Ditch". As it stands the Snohomish, Washington driver will look to hold on to a seventh place run.

Logan Forler is another driver on the National Tour that's had a breakout year. After having to drop out the tour in 2011, the Washington native relocated to the deserts of Arizona and teamed up with California car owner Harley VanDyke. A rough start out of the gate, Forler soon found his feet and has since fought from being as low as twentieth in the standings to eighth.

The retirement of Gary Wright comes as a bit of a surprise but like all good things there must be an ending. Clicking off a trio of podium finishes starting at the Winter Nationals at the Devil's Bowl Speedway "The Texan" has amassed a legacy that includes 127 ASCS victories, 324 top-fives, and 397 top tens to go along with 475 A-Feature starts and 4 Lucas Oil ASCS National Championships.

Rounding out the top ten in the Lucas Oil ASCS standings is Dustin Morgan. A Non-Wing Sprint Car / Midget ace turned Winged racer, Morgan also found his first ASCS National Tour victory this season at the Cocopah Speedway in Yuma, Arizona. Suffering several hard crashes over the course of the season, the Owasso, Oklahoma native has spent most of his season fighting back with 16 top-tens and a trio of top -five runs.
