MUST SEE RACING XTREME SPRINTS AND USAC NATIONAL SPRINTS HEAD TO SALEM SPEEDWAY FOR SATURDAY’S 51st ANNUAL JOE JAMES/PAT O’CONNOR MEMORIAL
For the first time in the history of this prestigious event the winged MUST SEE RACING XTREME SPRINT SERIES, will join the USAC National Sprint Series on Saturday, August 14 for the racing action.
“We are certainly thrilled that the United States Auto Club and Must See Racing have agreed to share the high banks for this historic night of racing,” said Salem Speedway general manager Richard Deaton. “This is a giant step in the right direction for open wheel racing and a win-win situation for pavement sprint car fans.”
“Our series and drivers are really excited to be a part of this iconic event and to have the opportunity to again display the speed and close competition of winged sprint racing on the high banks of Salem. With MSRXSS and USAC on the same track, the same night, there is no doubt race fans are going to see some great racing .” said MSRXSS founder Jim Hanks.
Topping the list of expected Must See Racing Xtreme Sprint Series entries is Jason Blonde of Litchfield, Mich. Blonde established a new one lap track record at Salem in May with a blistering lap of 14.244 seconds during time trials.
Blonde and Troy DeCaire of Tampa, FL., were staging a heated battle for the win in the 30-lap main event on May 8th, but neither driver was able to make it through the last turn of the final lap and Aaron Pierce went on to record the win.
Joining Blonde and DeCaire other top MSRXSS drivers expected include Jeff Bloom of Bangor, Mi., Mike Ling of Mt. Brydges, Ont., Jimmy McCune of Toledo, OH, Tim Cox of Park City, Ill., Hank Lower of Angola, IN., Ryan Litt of London, Ont., Sondi Eden of Noblesville, IN., Travis Miniea of Ft. Lauderdale, Fl., and Jacob Wilson of Crawfordsville, IN, among others.
MSRXSS had 29 winged sprint cars in the pits for the May 8th MSRXSS race at Salem.
Saturday’s racing program, which also features a vintage race car display by the Midwest Oldtimers Vintage Race Car Club, will be topped off with the MSRXSS 30-lap feature and the 50-lap Joe James/Pat O’Connor Memorial for the USAC National Sprint Series.
Spectator gates open on Saturday at 3 p.m. with practice slated to start at 3:30, qualifications at 5:30 and the first race at 7 p.m. (EDT).
Salem Speedway management reports that the track infield will be open for spectators on Saturday evening.

NEW LOOK FOR JOE JAMES/PAT O’CONNOR MEMORIAL AS TWO DIFFERENT SPRINT CAR SERIES TO BE FEATURED
SALEM, IN, The Joe James/Pat O’Connor Memorial sprint car classic, set for Saturday night, August 14th at Salem Speedway, features an exciting new twist for 2010. The USAC National Sprint Car Series, a mainstay of the event for over 45 years, will be joined by the Must See Racing Xtreme Sprint Series for the 51st edition of the storied event.
This marks the first time in the long history of the race that two different sprint car series appear together on the racing program. In recent years, midgets or local stock car divisions have joined the USAC sprints for the annual race.
We are certainly excited to have these two great sprint car series appear on the same program, said Salem Speedway general manager Richard Deaton. This historic night on the high banks will provide fans an excellent opportunity to see the best-of-the-best in open wheel short-track racing.
The breathtaking action of USAC sprints, combined with the raw speed and excitement of the Must See Racing Xtreme winged sprint cars, will undoubtedly deliver a memorable night of racing, said Deaton.
The overall Salem Speedway track record of 14.244-seconds was recorded this past May by Jason Blonde during time trials for a Must See Racing Xtreme Sprint Series race.
The honor roll of past James/O’Connor victors reads like a who’s-who in open wheel racing history with such names as A.J. Foyt, Parnelli Jones, Bob Sweikert, Mario Andretti, Bobby Unser, Pancho Carter, Rich Vogler, Kenny Irwin Jr. and Tony Stewart gracing the list of former winners.
The 2010 sprint classic will be topped off with a 30-lap feature for the MSR Xtreme Sprint Series and the 50-lap James/O’Connor Memorial for the USAC sprints.
The Midwest Oldtimers Vintage Race Car Club is also scheduled for its annual Salem Speedway appearance during the James/O’Connor event.
Advance tickets, both reserved and general admission, are currently selling for the James/O’Connor Memorial and may be purchased at the Salem Speedway office Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. or by calling 812-883-6504 or toll free 1-888-246-7223.
KALAMAZOO, Mich. – Mike Ling captured his first career BIOBASED USA/Must
See Racing Xtreme Sprint Series victory at Kalamazoo Speedway on Saturday
night, using a strong late-race surge to prevail in the 50-lap feature over
Troy DeCaire and Travis Miniea.
The night saw 15 of the 28 car field qualify under the existing track
record, with quick time of 10.270-seconds posted by Jason Blonde in the
BIOBASED sprint car.
Ling, of Mt. Brydges, Ont., Canada, took the lead following a lap 27 red
flag for an oil fire on the car of Union City, Michigan’s Jim Swain. Swain
was unhurt in the blaze, and the race restarted with the field trailing
leader Ryan Litt.
Litt was immediately pressured by DeCaire, but within two laps Ling asserted
himself to sweep past DeCaire, then Litt, in convincing fashion. Ling led
the rest of the way to become the fifth series winner in six races.
“I was definitely being conservative in the early going, trying to save my
tires,” said Ling. “After that restart, I knew it was time to go, and that’s
when I put the pedal down and gave it all I had.
“I’ve got to hand it to (car owner) Jimmy Brown and my crew, they had the
Southwestern Truck Services car hooked up perfectly. It’s good to finally
get that first series win, and now we work on putting our energy toward the
next race.”
DeCaire, the series point leader, continued his strong season with another
strong performance.
“Mike was the car I figured we would have to beat tonight, and I was right
about that,” said the Tampa, Florida driver. “The Jobsite Concrete/Maverick
Concrete Cut & Drilling car was really good, but he was just a little bit
better. I’m disappointed that we’re still chasing our first win, but I’m
glad for another good finish.”
Fourth was Jeff Bloom, trailed by Jimmy McCune. The second five consisted of
Litt, Kevin Feeney, Jason Cox, Tim Cox, and Kyle Flint.
Heat races were won by Ling, Kevin Feeney, and Dorman Snyder.
The entire racing program will be telecast on a tape-delayed basis to nearly
90 million U.S. homes. Airdates and other information can be found at
www.mustseeracing.com.

McCUNE WINS TWIN-20 FEATURE AT AUTO CITY
Jimmy McCune won a hard-fought victory at Auto City Speedway on Saturday night, capturing the Must See Racing Twin 20 feature event. The Toledo, Ohio driver becomes the first repeat winner of the Must See Racing Xtreme Sprint Series this year. The event featured a unique Twin 20 qualifying feature format that required drivers to race their way through a full night of heat races, qualifying feature, and 20-lap feature event. Canadian Mike Ling earned high point honors and promptly rolled a “10” on the inversion dice, setting up a very challenging feature race. Ling mounted a frantic charge from 10th to move into third in the late going before an aborted start moved him back to fifth, where he ultimately finished. Jason Cox, who graduated from high school just weeks ago, held off a late-race charge from series point leader Troy DeCaire to finish second, a career best. DeCaire held third at the finish, continuing his strong 2010 season. Fourth was Ryan Litt, who posted the quickest time in time trials and led point production through the heat races. The run matches Litt’s season best finish. Ling held fifth at the finish, with the second five consisting of Jason Blonde, Dorman Snyder, Dave Baumgartner, Travis Miniea, and Jeff Bloom. Qualifying races were won by Miniea and Hank Lower, while heats were won by McCune, Ling, and Blonde. The series looks next to the ultra-fast Kalamazoo Speedway on Saturday, July 17, with upcoming races following at Salem Speedway on Aug. 14, Slinger Speedway on Aug. 21, and Dells Raceway Park on Sept. 11.

HOLLY, Mich. – A unique racing program awaits competitors with the BIOBASED USA/Must See Racing Xtreme Sprint Series as they prepare for the “Twin 20s” at Auto City Speedway in Flint, Mich. on Saturday night, June 26.
The event, offering $3,000 to the winner, will feature a full lineup of heat races, through which racers will qualify for two 20-lap qualifying races. The lineup for these two races will be based on a points system rewarding drivers for their qualifying time and heat race performance. The results of the 20-lap qualifying races will determine the starting order for the 20-lap feature event.
“We were looking for something different for both racers and fans,” said Must See Racing founder Jim Hanks. “Our series is all about providing strong competition and an entertaining experience for the fans, and with this format I think we’ve hit upon something.
“Every time a driver takes to the track, his or her performance matters. Every lap, every position will be important in the scope of the feature race. Race fans enjoy intense, close racing, and that’s what I think we’ll see on Saturday night.”
The visit is the first for the series to Auto City, a track well-known to area fans. The lightning-fast winged sprint cars are well-suited to the paved venue, with a number of Wolverine state drivers joined by racers from all over the U.S. and Canada.
The roster of challengers expected at Auto City includes recent series winners Aaron Pierce and Jimmy McCune, along with Jason Blonde, Jeff Bloom, Kevin Feeney, Hank Lower, Troy DeCaire, Ryan Litt, Mike Ling, Tim Cox, Jason Cox, Sondi Eden, Jacob Wilson, and Travis Miniea, among others.
Fans will be treated to a host of entertaining activities during the events, including a “hands-on” show car, t-shirt and merchandise giveaways, along with driver autograph sessions and a contest where a lucky race fan will win a day driving a sprint car at the Dirt Track Driving School.
The event will be telecast with announcers Rick Benjamin, Dave Argabright and Tom Bigelow on a tape-delayed basis to nearly 90 million U.S. homes. Airdates and other information can be found at www.mustseeracing.com.

PIERCE WINS WILD MUST SEE RACING DEBUT AT SALEM
SALEM, Ind. – Aaron Pierce led the final few yards of the Winged Sprint
Spectacular at Salem, in a thrilling debut of the BioBased US Must See
Racing Xtreme Sprint Series.
Pierce took the white flag in third place behind race leader Troy DeCaire
and Jason Blonde, and a few moments later Blonde made a final try to the
inside as the two cars entered turn three. DeCaire wiggled and snagged the
outside wall, while Blonde spun to the inside. DeCaire’s bent machine slid
along the front straightaway, sliding to a stop a few yards short of the
finish.
Pierce steered clear of the melee and flashed across the finish line ahead
of veteran Jeff Bloom and a surging Tim Cox. Jason Cox was fourth with Mike
Ling completing the top five.
The night began in spectacular fashion when Blonde shattered the track
record with a 14.224 clocking.
Heats were won by Pierce, Blaze Martin, and Jimmy McCune, while Tim Cox won
the B-main.
The 30-lap feature provided a spectacular display of banzai racing, with the
highlight being DeCaire’s amazing move to wrest the race lead from Bloom.
The Must See Racing Xtreme Sprint Series now moves to Winchester Speedway
for the “King of the Wings” classic on May 23.
