Race Results From Coast to Coast

MADDINGTON TOYOTA SPRINTCAR SERIES

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 24

Callum Williamson claimed his first feature race win of the season when he picked the pocket of Kaiden Manders on the last lap to take the win at Bunbury Speedway on Saturday night.

Williamson won round four of the 2024-25 Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series that was the LJM Sprintcar Grand Prix, with the winning margin being 0.786 of a second, while Queenslander Ryan Newton was third.

Williamson’s win seemed unlikely for much of the race.

He started from p3 but dropped back to sixth early on, before gradually clawing his way back into contention and was in third by midrace distance

The W3 slipped under Dayne Kinghsott to take second with three laps remaining and as the cars bunched up in heavy lapped traffic, he pounced on Manders for the win in the dying seconds.

The popular win came after he was second quickest in his qualifying group and raced from P3 to a win in his heat race in a modified format after challenging track conditions meant the race surface had to be reworked, forcing a late start to the show.

While it was his first podium of the season, following a pair of fourths and a DNF, it was a disappointing outcome for Manders who started on the front row with Kingshott and was second until he took the lead with a handful of laps remaining.

At the start of the show he was second quickest in his qualifying group and took a heat race win after starting from p3.

Newton, who has contested all four shows of the series so far, two in his own Q66 and the last two in the Monte Motorsport W17, continued his good early-season form with the third - on the back of a win, a second and a DNF so far.

He started from P12 in the final and by mid race distance was eighth before settling into fifth with about eight laps remaining.

Newton finished very strong, gaining two more spots in the last few laps.

Kerry Madsen, in his first race with Diamond Bay Motorsport for the season, was fourth, after starting from P7.

Kingshott, who led for led for about 25 laps, held on for fifth, ahead of Brad Maiolo who started fourth and finished sixth, Jamie Maiolo who started 9th and finished seventh, Taylor Milling who started 13th and finished eighth, Kris Coyle who started eighth and finished ninth and Jason Kendrick who started fifth and rounded out the top 10.

The race was only seconds old when Jack Williamson and Daniel Harding were both facing the wrong way just on the edge of the infield, both getting a rear of the field restart.

The red lights came on a couple of laps later after Harding and Joel Ettridge crashed hard in pits bend, putting them both out of the show.

There was another caution with 17 laps remaining when Andrew Priolo spun around while in ninth, and shortly afterwards Jaydee Dack also spun around, forcing another restart.

Kendrick started the show by setting the Victory 1 Performance Quick Time, while the other heat wins went to Coyle and Madsen.

Racing returns to the Perth Motorplex next Saturday night for the Jolly Good In Car Audio WA Sprintcar Title.

AARON WILLISON WINS FRIDAY POLE SHUFFLE FOR SATURDAY’S $50,000 OPEN WHEEL SHOWDOWN

LAS VEGAS — British Columbia, Canada’s Aaron Willison finds himself in a familiar position at the BITNILE Open Wheel Showdown Las Vegas, where the 2023 $50,000 race winner has earned the pole for Saturday’s 2024 edition after Willison snared the 10-lap Firstline Systems Pole Shuffle. Willison was one of six 12-lap heat race winners on the .375-mile Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Willison then outmatched Good Boy Vodka fast time qualifier JoJo Helberg of Rohnert Park, Calif. in the shuffle for the pole position.

“Yeah that was fun. Honestly track position – we had a good draw and got to start on the pole. I just knew I had to hit my marks and not miss the bottom. It was a good time there,” Willison said. “We’re just starting to establish a trend the longer the cars have been on the track to come to a decision for a baseline for tomorrow night. It’s awesome to have this platform to race on, to have all of North America gathered in one place to duke it out.”

Helberg led the way in time trials with a new track record, storming to a 11.572 second lap at 116.66 miles per hour. Helberg then won the opening CSI Shocks heat race one, with both Jeff Montgomery and Ryan Litt experiencing difficulties that relegated them to a C-Main position.

Willison won the BR Motorsports heat race two while Bobby Santos of Franklin, Mass. won the Elliott’s Custom Trailers heat three. A spin for Indiana USAC champion CJ Leary will have him coming out of Saturday’s B-Main. Casey Tillman won the Wilwood Brakes heat race four and Kody Swanson of Kingsburg, Calif. won the Racing Optics fifth heat race. Jake Trainor of Medway, Mass. won the Sweet Manufacturing heat race.

Litt made quick work of the 15-lap C-Main, presented by RX Help Centers, and will continue his alphabet soup effort on Saturday.

Klotz Modified action was led in qualifying by Las Vegas’ Aaron McMorran, who then drew the one pill in the redraw. All three heat races were presented by Cometic Gasket, with Aaron McMorran, Kyle Jacks, and Rich Lindgren snaring coveted wins.

Saturday action kicks off early with Modified practices at 10:30am. General Admission gates also swing open at that time, with plenty of tickets available at the gates. Supermodified time trials are also on deck.

Santos picked up half a second across the two practice sessions to lead the way.

“We unloaded decent. We kind of went back to what we know works in the second practice session. Car has good balance. Looking forward to the next two days. Got to thank everyone at Open Wheel Showdown and Davey for what he’s doing. Been looking forward to this weekend for the whole year,” Santos said. “(Qualifying) is wicked important. This format rewards speed, which is a good thing. There’s so many good cars here so that’s the way it should be. It’s a great format. With that being said, we have to put ourselves in a good position.”

The Winged Sprint Cars will participate in time trials, heat races, the 12-car Firstline Systems Pole Shuffle, and the 15-lap C-Feature on Friday night. All the preliminary events are in preparation for Saturday’s 100-lap, $50,000 to win feature.

MADDINGTON TOYOTA SPRINTCAR SERIES

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2024

Dayne Kingshott is the Scardifields Smash Repairs King of Wings for the second year in a row.

The defending Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series champion claimed the drawn-out and drama-filled 40-lap feature race at the Perth Motorplex on Saturday night, from Callum Williamson and Kris Coyle.

Kingshott was able to control his car enough to win on the rubber down track that proved brutal on tyres and put some of his rivals out of the contest when their tyres ran out of rubber and deflated.

Of the 23 cars that took the green light, only seven took the checkers.

The driver of the Krikke Motorsport W2 came from p6, the same starting position that he won the race from last year.

This was after he was quickest in his qualifying session, and raced from fourth to first in his heat race.

Kingshott then dropped back to third, after starting from pole, in the A Dash.

He raced up to second with about six laps in the book, but then dropped back as far as fifth before gradually moving back into the lead with about 10 laps remaining.

As a result of a fifth, followed by two wins in a row, Kingshott is the early season points leader, 14 points clear of former series champion Williamson, who threatened to take the win in the feature race.

Williamson set the Victory 1 Performance overall quick time, before starting fourth and winning his heat race, setting up a p1 start in the A Dash, which he unfortunately didn’t start, with electrical issues.

Despite the setback of starting the final from p11, he was up to third at about quarter race distance, before hitting the lead on lap 25.

Williamson dropped back to third for a period before getting into second late and recording his second podium result of the season, bettering his third at the last outing.

Coyle came from p14 in a very solid and workmanlike drive that saw him chase grip on the low lines of the track, with success.

It was a good recovery after he was sixth quickest in his qualifying group and then took a sixth in his heat race.

Coyle gained a couple of spots in the opening laps, but then lost ground and was back to where he started before moving up to 10th with nine laps completed.

By lap 16 his transition forward was obvious, settling into sixth and after running fourth for a while, with three laps remaining he claimed the final podium position.

Brad Maiolo, who started from p2, staked an early claim on the race, leading until lap 24.

In the next handful of laps he dropped back to fourth before getting back to second until he suffered tyre failure with only a few laps to the checkers.

It was a tough end for the driver of the LJM Racing W77 after he was second in his heat race and then won the B Dash, setting up the front row start.

Kaiden Manders qualified on pole after being second in his heat race and winning the A Dash.

After jockeying between the podium positions early on, he was out of the contest just over midrace distance after being tagged by another car which set off a chain reaction, resulting in damage to a couple of cars.

Daniel Harding started from p3 and dropped back as far as seventh at one point, before making up lost ground, getting to second, before heading infield with a flat left rear tyre.

New Zealander Michael Pickens, in his second outing in the Sean Carren-owned W95, took fourth, backing up his second in the season opener back in November.

Earlier Pickens was second in both his heat race and the B Dash.

Jason Kendrick was fifth after being caught up in a few incidents and going to the rear of the field on two occasions, including once where the team had to replace the front end of the Triple M Kendrick Racing W11.

At the start of the night Kendrick won his heat race and was then fifth in the B Dash, putting him out of p10 for the final.

AJ Nash was sixth in his second outing in the Nash family-owned W51, a result he would not have thought possible after starting the final from p19.

Wayne Russell was the only other finisher, crossing the line in seventh after starting from p20.

The series will head south for the first appearance at Bunbury Speedway in two weeks, with the feature being the LJM Sprintcar Grand Prix on Saturday, November 23.

DJ Netto wins SCCT finale/ Andy Forsberg wraps up title

By Gary Thomas

Stockton, CA…DJ Netto took advantage of race long leader Justin Sanders getting caught up in lapped traffic to lead the final seven laps for his fourth career Sprint Car Challenge Tour victory on Saturday at the Stockton Dirt Track.

When all was said and done Auburn’s Andy Forsberg wrapped up his second career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour title.

“It feels great to get our second SCCT championship and number 28 for me personally,” Forsberg said. “I want to thank all the people that support us and a huge thanks to the fans for coming out to Stockton tonight.”

Justin Sanders jumped out to the early lead in the 30-lap SCCT finale and fended off the challenges of Netto early on. Various yellows and a couple of red flag periods slowed the flow of the contest during the opening stages.

Through it all Sanders remained composed and looked to be on way to victory, until a lapped car spun directly in front of him, which caused Sanders to bring out a caution. Netto then found himself up front and he would lead the remainder to snag his first SCCT triumph of the season.

Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick crossed the stripe in second to record another consistent finish in SCCT competition. Roseville’s Sean Becker had a strong run in the main event charging from 11th to third, followed by 13th starter Landon Brooks and Chance Grasty in the top five.

Rounding out the top 10 in the main event were 17th starter Jodie Robinson, Tim Kaeding, Justin Sanders, Tristan Guardino and Seth Standley.

The 41st annual Tribute to Gary Patterson put a cap on the 2024 Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour season. Next up will be the annual Awards Banquet on December 14th in Placerville.

MADDINGTON TOYOTA SPRINTCAR SERIES

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2024

Dayne Kingshott claimed the second round of the 2024-25 Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series at the Perth Motorplex on Saturday night, with the feature race being the Electrical Group Training Sprintcar Westernapolis.

The defending series champion started from pole for the 30-lap feature race and was never headed in the final that went non-stop.

He crossed the line ahead of last round winner, Ryan Newton, Queensland, and former series champion Callum Williamson.

The podium result backs up Kingshott’s fifth placing in the season opener, at the same venue, one week earlier.

He was second in his qualifying group and went from third to second in his heat race before winning the A Dash from the front row.

Kingshott got the jump on Williamson, who also started on the front row and was into lapped traffic after just a handful of laps were in the books.

He maintained his composure in the fast final, mainly running just off the concrete fence to take the win.

Newton, who was fourth in his qualifying group, started on the front row for his heat race where he dropped back to third.

The Queenslander then moved up two spots to take third in the B Dash, setting up the P5 start for the final.

He was up to third by lap four and alternated between third and fourth until lap 17 until he took second – a spot he maintained to the checkers.

Williamson set the Victory 1 Performance Quick Time at the start of the show before taking a second in his heat race and a win in his Dash.

He was in second for the first half of the journey until he dropped to fourth for a while, ultimately getting by Kaiden Manders to claim the final spot on the podium.

Manders held on for fourth, ahead of Kris Coyle who pushed hard and rounded out the top five.

Jamie Maiolo, who started P4, rolled across the line for sixth, from Andrew Priolo who moved up sixth spots to take seventh after earlier winning the BR Motorsport Midpack race in what was a great recovery.

He was on track to win the Kincrome Hard Charger award, but that honour this week went to Ryan Lancaster who started from p15 and finished just behind Priolo in eighth.

Taylor Milling was ninth (after starting P10), ahead of Jason Kendrick who started P9, but dropped back to 14th early before coming back to round out the top 10.

Jason Pryde was 11th (from P14), ahead of Brad Maiolo, Jack Williamson, Aaron Chircop, James Inglis, Michael Keen, Daniel Harding, Trent Pigdon, Jaydee Dack, AJ Nash, Joel Ettridge, Myles Bolger, Brooke Newson and Wayne Russell, with all 24 cars completing the race.

There was drama at the start of the night for Harding who clouted the wall before even setting a time in qualifying.

As he didn’t set a time, he started from p8 in his heat race, moving up three spots for fifth.

He then went from p5 to second in the B Main and from p20 to 17th in the final.

The third round of the Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series will be held at the Perth Motorplex on Saturday, November 9, with the feature event being the Scardifields Smash Repairs King of Wings.

BRYANT BELL MOVES CLOSER TO WMR CHAMPIONSHIP WITH INAUGURAL KERN WIN

BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA (October 26, 2024) – Western Midget Racing made its inaugural Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway Dirt Track appearance with a familiar winner, with 2023 champion Bryant Bell of Oakley charging to his eighth victory of the season and extending his 2024 points lead. Bell will enjoy a 20-point lead heading into Saturday’s championship race at Ventura Raceway.

Delano’s Terry Nichols and Santa Cruz’ Logan Mitchell split the eight-lap heat races on the one-third mile dirt track west of Bakersfield, racing during the famed October Classic weekend.

Mesa, Ariz.’s Gary DeWitt started on the pole after a six-car inversion and led the first two circuits. Third-starting Bell rocketed up into the lead by lap three. DeWitt fell into a battle with San Jose’s Anthony Bruno and Mitchell for second. Mitchell seized second by lap 13 but had a 4.5 second deficit to Bell at that point.

Bell maintained the advantage over the second half of the feature, blitzing to a 4.1 second victory worth $500 during the final weekend of the Triple Crown Series as well. Bell was followed by Mitchell, Bruno, DeWitt, and Nate Wait of Lodi.

The 2024 Western Midget Racing series concludes on Saturday night from Ventura Raceway with a $1,200 to win feature and will also crown the $1,000 to win Triple Crown champion and $1,000 to win series champion. Boscacci Racing teammates Anthony Bruno and Bryant Bell lead the Triple Crown and WMR series respectively heading into the finale at the seaside speedway.

VRA Sprint Cars, Senior Sprints, Lightning Sprints, and Junior Classes will also be racing. Grandstands open at 3pm with action by 5:30pm. For more info visit www.VenturaRaceway.com

The 2024 Western Midget Racing Triple Crown is brought to you by Sunland Wood Products, Mead Performance, Extreme Mufflers, Pasillas Tire, West Evans Motorsports, Lance Pierovich, and Hoosier Tire West.

Thomas Wins ESS Season Finale at Outlaw Speedway

By Curtis Berleue (Dundee, NY) | For the second time in 2024, Jordan Thomas is an Empire Super Sprints winner. After taking the lead on lap 8, Thomas never looked back en-route to a $4,000 victory in the annual Hoag Memorial at the Outlaw Speedway.

Pinnacle Pole award winner Chase Moran and Jared Zimbardi brought the field to green for the 25-lap event. Zimbardi took an early lead utilizing the high side of the speedway, with Moran falling into second.

Moran’s time in second was short lived, however, as fourth starting Jordan Thomas quickly made his way by the driver of the #4p. With his sights set on the lead, Thomas and Zimbardi would trade slidejobs for a handful of laps, while Moran and Shawn Donath battled behind them for the third position.

As the field clicked off lap 9, Thomas had managed to get by Zimbardi before the first caution of the event flew for DJ Christie, who had a flat left rear tire.

On the enduing restart, Thomas chose the high side of the speedway. Zimbardi would hold pace with Thomas for a handful of laps, but as the duo reached lap traffic Thomas was able to extend his lead.

One last restart with a lap remaining gave Zimbardi a final attempt to get by Thomas, but Thomas slid himself going into turn one to protect the bottom and sailed away to his second victory of the season.

“It’s really good to cap off the year with a win,” said Thomas in victory lane. “I raced him (Zimbardi) a little harder than I wanted to, but it worked out in the end.”

“He’s a really good racer, been doing it a long time. On those restarts when I saw he was lining up next to me, I knew I had to play a little bit of a game to get an advantage.”

Jared Zimbardi held on for second after leading the first 7 laps.

“He had the dominant car for sure,” said Zimbardi. “When I’m running the top pretty much wide open and all the sudden, I heard him through the middle, I knew we were in trouble.”

“I’ve been able to watch Jordan mature over the years, and that last restart – that was a mature move. I didn’t expect him to go to the bottom, I expected him to blast the top and when he did that it caught me off guard.”

With a new car to end the season, Shawn Donath rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third.

“I was pretty happy with that thing, it was ripping tonight,” said Donath. “I could go anywhere. These guys gave me one heck of a racecar, I could run bottom, middle, top.”

“I was a little nervous when we got out there and the dew set in, but the track was super-fast.”

26 cars signed in for the final night of action for the Empire Super Sprints in 2024. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Jason Barney, Jared Zimbardi and Davie Franek. E&V Energy Heat wins went to Joe Trenca, Zimbardi and Ryan Turner. The Cobra Coaches Dash presented by Fratto Curbing was won by Logan Crisafulli.

While on track action has concluded for the Empire Super Sprints in 2024, there is still one event remaining on the schedule. The annual awards banquet and rules meeting will be held on Saturday, November 9. More information on that event will be released in the coming days.

MADDINGTON TOYOTA SPRINTCAR SERIES

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2024

Queenslander Ryan Newton fired the first shot in the 2024-25 Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series at the Perth Motorplex on Saturday night.

Newton claimed the 30-lap final from New Zealander Michael Pickens and former series champion Brad Maiolo.

The driver of the Q66 was second quickest in his qualifying group before taking second in his heat race after starting from p3.

Newton started on the front row for the B Dash to determine the top six spots on the outside row for the feature – and he got the jump on Pickens to take the win and start from p2 in the final, alongside Daniel Harding who won the A Dash from Kaiden Manders.

Harding grabbed the holeshot at the start of the final and led for the first eight laps before he rode a wheel of Aaron Chircop as he went to put him a lap down, crashing hard.

From there Newton led all the way on a very fast racetrack.

After the win he confirmed he would remain in WA for round two of the series next Saturday night, back at the Perth Motorplex.

Pickens, who flew in late on Saturday afternoon from New Zealand after having a flight on Friday night cancelled, also drove a speedcar on the night.

He set the Victory 1 Performance Quick Time in a record-breaking 12.460 seconds before a third in his heat race and a second to Newton in the B Dash, to start the final from p4.

Maiolo started p8 in the final after taking a heat race win and a fourth in the B Dash.

He looked strong at each restart to move forward and better his starting position by five spots.

Manders, who started from p3, held on for fourth from defending series champion Dayne Kingsshottt, who started from p6.

Trent Pigdon was seventh after starting from p9, while former series champion Callum Willliamson bettered his starting position by four spots to seventh.

Kris Coyle is the Kincrome Hard Charger after moving up seven spots to be eighth ahead of Taylor Milling, Jason Kendrick, Jamie Maiolo, Jack Williamson (who dropped seven spots), Jaydee Dack (who gained six spots), Ryan Lancaster, Michael Keen, Brooke Newson and Wayne Russell.

There was a bit of drama with nine laps remaining, when Kendrick and Kingshott, who were battling for position, went either side of former series champion Inglis, who was a lap down.

Unfortunately there was contact between Kendrick and Inglis, which saw Inglis roll hard and involve a couple of other cars that posted a DNF.

On the open red, Kendrick was able to change a tyre and start back in 13th, moving up three spots on the run home.

Round two of the 2024-25 championship will be held at the Perth Motorplex next Saturday night, with the feature event being the Electrical Group Training Westerrnapolis.

Corey Day Cup Champion

By Ron Rodda

Tulare CA. After three nights of intense racing it was Corey Day who earned the Trophy Cup title by having the most points. Day will collect the $30,000 champion payout plus earnings from the three nights of racing.

Next week the payout details will be sent.

Starting with fully inverted eight car heat races, top point cars have an opportunity to improve their status. Of the top six in points, it was Justin Peck who gained the most with a heat win.

Peck went from four points behind Dominic Scelzi and Colby Thornhill to eight points ahead.

The top twenty in points after the heat races moved to the A main and the B main added four more. With a 24 car invert by points, the B main transfers are automatically on the front two rows.

Saturday's A main is two races at the same time. First place pays $7500 and the highest point car earns four times that amount.

The 24 car field ran 34 nonstop laps before the refueling yellow was thrown. Trey Starks led 23 laps before Tanner Holmes took the lead out of turn four but Starks was back in the lead a lap later.

Tyler Courtney moved to third on lap 24, got second two laps later, but was back in third by the fuel break. Cole Macedo was second when the unnecessary yellow was displayed. Being nonstop the fuel stop wasn't needed.

Eight laps were green after the restart before a red when Cole Macedo hit the turn two wall. Starks continued in the lead ahead on Tyler Courtney.

On the restart Tanner Holmes used a turn four slider for third and on lap 46 three time Trophy Cup champion, Shane Golobic, was moving potentially into the point lead and got caught up in a turn two tangle to end his chance.

Starks led the last five laps to post the win over Tyler Courtney and Tanner Holmes.

The high point battle was close and Corey Day made it two consecutive titles.

The 2024 donation to Make-A-Wish Foundation made the total $3,125,000 from the Trophy Cup.

Eliason Wins Trophy Cup Friday Main

by Ron Rodda

Tulare CA...The second night of the Abreu Vineyards Trophy Cup 30 Presented By Rudeen Racing returned 63 winged 360 sprints to Tulare Thunderbowl.

Another $5000 to win thirty lap main event finished the evening and Cory Eliason collected the check and the 100 points.

Group B qualified first with the order reversed from the day before. Caeden Steele was quickest at 14.091 and Kaleb Montgomery was fastest in Group A with a 14.762 effort.

Eight heats inverting six moved the winners and high point cars after adding heat points to promote 16 to the A main. Two B mains moved eight more drivers to the 24 car A main with a 12 car inversion based on points.

Justin Sanders led 9 laps of the A main but two cars tangled in front of him and he couldn't avoid contact with the pair.

Cory Eliason inherited the lead and Dolby Copeland took 2nd on lap 14 driving under Dominic Scelzi in turn two.

Copeland made it one better when he took the lead by passing Eliason on the bottom of turn four. Copeland led the final ten laps for the checkers but not the win.

Copeland was set back two spots for a jump and was credited for third. Eliason was the winner ahead of Scelzi, Copeland, and last night's winner, Justin Peck.

The top five in points going into Saturday are Dominic Scelzi 275, Colby Copeland 273, Cory Eliason 273, Colby Thornhill 272, Justin Sanders 272

Saturday will start with the toughest heat races for the top 48 in points. Heats will be fully inverted by points with 36 points to win and a three point drop.

The 20 cars highest in points after the heats will fill rows 3 through 12 in the 50 lap finale. The B main top four will be in the front two rows of the fully inverted lineup.

Around the halfway mark an open red will allow fuel to be added.

Saturday's A main has two playoffs. Whoever takes the checkers first earns $7500 and the highest point driver collects $30,000 from the point payout plus whatever earned from three nights of racing.

Justin Peck Takes Cup Opener

By Ron Rodda

Tulare, CA... The opening night of the Abreu Vineyards Trophy Cup 30 Presented By Rudeen Racing at the Tulare Thunderbowl had Justin Peck withstand the challengers for a flag to flag win.

A 65 car field of winged 360 sprints were split into two groups with each group having a driver earning 150 points for fast time and a one point drop per place in qualifying.

Jonathan Allard topped A group with a 13.931 and B group honors went to Justin Peck at 14.273.

Each group ran four heats, inverted by 6, moving the winner and the high point car after the heat into the A main. Heats awarded 36 points to the winner with a three point drop per position.

That put 16 drivers into the main with four additional drivers from each of two B mains filling the 24 car field. The A main had a 12 car invert by points and the winner earned 100 points with a two point drop each finishing position.

The 30 lap main had Justin Sanders and Kaleb Montgomery sharing row six as the top two in points while Braden Chiaramonte and Justin Peck filled the front row.

Peck led from the green and made it 30 laps of leading the field. But it wasn't easy.

After reaching traffic on lap seven, Braden Chiaramonte closed and put pressure on Peck. Chiaramonte led a lap but Peck regained the lead and the two put on a show with the race running 29 non-stop laps.

The last few laps Colby Thornhill got past Chiaramonte to finish second while Chiaramonte was third.

Friday will follow the Thursday format with the change in qualifying with group two qualifying first and the drivers within each group are the reverse order from Thursday.

Following the Friday program each driver will use the better of their two point nights to determine their Saturday assignment. The top 48 in points will be in one of the six heats on Saturday, completely inverted by points.

Top ten in points....Colby Thornhill 272, Justin Sanders 272, Justin Peck 271, Braden Chiaramonte 267, Robbie Price 267, Caeden Steele 266, Sanders Becker 263, Shane Golobic 261, Jonathan Allard 260, Kaleb Montgomery 259

Jacob Denney Victorious in Meents Memorial with POWRi National and West Midget Leagues at Port City Raceway

Tulsa, OK. (10/12/24) Jacob Denney would lead early and recover late using a last lap pass to earn his third career feature win battling at Port City Raceway, with the POWRi National and West Midget Leagues, in Night Two of the Rujo Rumble after leading eight laps of the thirty-lap feature event honoring an industry icon in the 20th Annual Charlene Meents Memorial presented by Driven2SaveLives.

Speedy on-track excitement with thirty-five talented entries in the POWRi National Midgets would find Gavin Miller start the action off with quick time in qualifying with a 10.000-second lap as Alex Sewell, Jonathan Beason, Kris Carroll, Chase McDermand, and Jayden Clay would notch the heat racing wins. Semi-feature action would find Trey Marcham and Jason McDougal victorious.

Launching the feature field would find the high-point qualifier Jacob Denney and Jonathan Beason, lead the field as the green flag flew with Jacob Denney gaining the initial advantage on the opening lap as Cannon McIntosh, Kameron Key, Gavin Miller, and Colton Robinson all battling inside the early contending top five.

Overtaking for the top spot with a great lap seven restart, Cannon McIntosh would shoot to the front of the field as Jacob Denney stayed within striking distance with Gavin Miller also staying close as the top three separated from the remainder of the field with laps ticking away and lap traffic quickly caught.

Cruising out front, Cannon McIntosh would continue to show the way out front as a late race caution would erase the large lead and bunch the field back together as late race dramatics would be revealed in the waning stages of the feature.

Blasting to the front of the field on the final lap, Jacob Denney would shoot to the high side while Cannon McIntosh protected the bottom with Denney gaining the lead out of turn two while holding onto the top spot over the final pair of corners with McIntosh settling into finishing second as hard-charger Ethan Mitchell maneuvered past sixteen other competitors to finalize the podium placements.

“The restart made the race for us, I got stuck behind lap cars during that long green run and just tried to stay close late” said Jacob Denney in the Port City Raceway winner’s circle. Adding, “I ran it into one and two as hard as I could and it stuck, I think he moved down maybe to block but I wasn’t moving from the top or lifting.”

Remaining in the hunt all event, rookie of the year winner Gunnar Setser would finish fourth with Jason McDougal rounding out the POWRi National and West Midget Leagues top five finishers in Night Two of the Rujo Rumble while honoring the Meents Memorial at Port City Raceway.

Tanner Carrick surges to initial Thunderbowl victory with SCCT

By Gary Thomas

Tulare, CA…Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick shot out front early and cruised to his first ever Thunderbowl Raceway triumph with the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour on Saturday night.

It marked the fourth SCCT victory of Carrick’s career, placing him in a tie for sixth place all-time with Rico Abreu. His win during the annual Chris & Brian Faria Memorial came aboard the familiar California Waterfowl/ TC Guide Service No. 83T.

“Thunderbowl Raceway is always one of those challenging tracks so it’s a special moment when you can get a win here,” Carrick said after the race. “I really have to thank my entire team for working hard all night while running two cars. We had a lot of speed right up top in the SCCT main event and that gives me a ton of confidence going into the Trophy Cup next week.”

After winning the High Sierra Industries Dash, Carrick blasted into the lead at the waving of the Darryck Fairbanks’ green flag in the main event. The 22-year-old pulled away to a large lead throughout the course of the race shortened 25-lap feature.

Several slow downs occurred, but Carrick never faltered up front and drove away from everybody to claim the checkered flag. Fresno’s Caeden Steele put together a solid outing to cross the stripe in second, followed by San Jose’s Tim Kaeding, who continued his impressive string of races.

Aromas’ Justin Sanders made a cameo appearance in the Snow Racing No. 7 and brought home a fourth-place result, while Hanford’s DJ Netto earned his second straight top-five finish in Sprint Car Challenge Tour competition by crossing the line in fifth.

Completing the top-10 in the SCCT finale were Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Colby Thornhill, who rocketed through the pack from 23rd to sixth, followed by Ashton Torgerson, Joey Ancona, Dylan Bloomfield and 22nd starter Sean Becker.

A total of 36 cars competed at the Faria Memorial/ Trophy Cup tune-up. Suisun City’s Chance Grasty began the evening by earning his first Sierra Foothills Wine Services fast time of the year by clocking a 13.607 around the Thunderbowl Raceway.

The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour returns to action on Saturday November 2nd at the Stockton Dirt Track. The 41st annual Tribute to Gary Patterson marks the season finale for the SCCT 360s.

Daison Pursley Perfects Port City Raceway’s DRC Sooner State 55 with POWRi National Midget Leagues

Tulsa, OK. (10/10/24) Daison Pursley would shoot to the lead around the final third of the feature to earn his ninth career feature win battling at Port City Raceway, with the POWRi National Midget League, in the Donnie Ray Crawford Sooner State 55 presented by Start2Finish TV after leading seventeen laps of the rousing fifty-five lap feature event.

Setting the stage with early on-track excitement with forty talented entries in the POWRi National Midgets would find Cannon McIntosh start the action off with quick-time in single car qualifying of 10.015-second lap as Cannon McIntosh, Zach Daum, Ryan Timms, Daison Pursley, Emerson Axsom, and Ethan Mitchell would notch the heat racing wins. Semi-feature action would find Jonathan Beason and Matt Sherrell each earning the consolation victories.

Launching the feature field would find the high-point qualifier Cannon McIntosh and Daison Pursley lead the field as the green flag flew with Cannon McIntosh gaining the initial advantage on the opening lap as Daison Pursley, Zach Daum, Ryan Timms and Ethan Mitchell kept pace within the early contending top five.

Overtaking for the top spot around the mid race point, Zach Daum would lead the feature for seventeen laps using a perfect low line as Cannon McIntosh and Daison Pursley went wheel-to-wheel for the runner up positioning with Pursley able to ride away with the preferred spot and setting his sights on the leading Daum.

Sliding into the lead through a masterful pass, Daison Pursley would protect the front of the field through the final seventeen rotations around Port City Raceway to claim the headlining Donnie Ray Crawford Sooner State 55 and his first feature win of 2024 with Cannon McIntosh staying close behind in a solid runner-up placement.

“When you gotta go, you gotta go; this was Port City racing at its finest tonight,” said Daison Pursley in the Port City Raceway winner’s circle. Adding, “We had to really move around tonight and find and search for the speed. Once the bottom locked down, I knew it was time to protect”.

Staying in the hunt all event, one-time leader Zach Daum would round out the podium placements as Jason McDougal muscled his way to finish fourth with Ryan Timms rounding out the POWRi National Midget League top five finishers in the Donnie Ray Crawford Sooner State 55 presented by Start2Finish TV at Port City Raceway.

Kubota High Limit Racing season champ Sweet wins Diamond Classic makeup at Lucas Oil Speedway

WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 9, 2024) - Before the final week of action in the The Kubota High Limit Racing season arrived, Brad Sweet already had clinched the season championship. Now he's added a couple of exclamation points to his title while in the Show-Me State.

Sweet followed up his Tuesday-night triumph at I-70 Speedway in Odessa with a convincing feature victory on Wednesday at Lucas Oil Speedway's Diamond Classic. The Grass Valley, Calif., Winged Sprint veteran led 31 of 35 laps to earn $25,000 in the makeup of an event rained out at Wheatland on June 29th.

"I'm really excited that we got to come back to Lucas Oil and complete the event," Sweet said after his ninth Kubota High Limit Racing feature win of the season. "Thanks to the crowd for coming out on a Wednesday night."

Courtney, the Night 1 Diamond Classic winner on June 28 before severe weather wiped out the action the next night, couldn't quite pull off the delayed sweep. The Indianapolis resident said a poor first part of the race left him too much work to do. He settled for $10,000.

"I think we were a little bit better here earlier in the year," Courtney said. "We got good at the end of the feature. We went from the pole to sixth or seventh and just had to dig deep. That last yellow, it was nice to start behind Brad, but clean air was a huge factor. They've been on it, really all year. Congrats to Brad and their whole team."

Sweet, starting outside Courtney on row one, sprinted to the lead as the green flew and set the pace through four laps, with fourth-starting Ryan Timms running second. A red flag came out after Brent Marks flipped his car on the backstretch to halt the action.

Action settled into a rhythm after the restart with Sweet holding on to a narrow lead until lap 10, when Timms took over the lead with an outside pass out of turn two. The 18-year-old Timms had a .069-second lead when action was stopped again on lap 13 as Kerry Madsen hit the wall in turn four.

During the caution, Timms pulled into the hot pits to surrender the lead back to Sweet for the restart on lap 14. Timms, winner of the 2023 Hockett-McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway, had a side panel come loose and had to restart at the rear. He eventually rallied to 10th.

"We got a little luck there with Ryan," Sweet said. "Sometimes it falls your way. I got control of the race and kind of changed my lines up and tried to carry more speed.

"This track's really weird. You think you're gonna slow down and get gripped up, but it doesn't work that way here. Figuring this track out, it's new to a lot of us, but it's a beautiful facility."

Sweet needed only three laps to open a 1.5-second lead over Tanner Thorson with Spencer Bayston third. The trio remained in that order until lap 25, when Courtney moved past Bayston for third, with Sweet having opened a two-second lead over Thorson.

The second-running Thorson’s chances went up in smoke on lap 27 when he slowed, fluid pouring from the motor. That elevated Courtney to second and Bayston to third with eight laps remaining.

Sweet had a smooth restart and held off Courtney the rest of the way, earning the victory by .825 seconds.

"We slumped in the middle of the season, but we've been strong for a while now," Sweet said. "It's nice to get the wins. The hard work pays off. It's such a grind throughout the year. We're gonna finish the year out strong."

Two series races remain, this Friday and Saturday at the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track.

Bayston wound up third with Corey Day fourth and Kasey Kahne fifth.

"We've been clicking them off," Bayston said after his fifth straight top-five High Limit Racing feature finish. "Everything is kind of flowing right now and we're unloading fast. It's been fun.

"We had a really good car on that last restart and had the top to myself, but (Courtney) took it away from us but we'll be happy to take home a top-three and continue this streak."

Cory Eliason of Visalia, Calif., set the fast qualifying time with a lap of 12.957 seconds, just off the track record of 12.829 set by Rico Abreu on June 29th of this year.

Varin Wins Fulton; Poirier Crowned ESS Champion

By Curtis Berleue (Fulton, NY) | After waiting out a rain delay of over 12 hours, it was Danny Varin who sat in victory lane at the Fulton Speedway early Saturday afternoon. Rain showers late in the program on Friday night caused the postponement of the remainder of the program, including the final two Empire Super Sprints heat races until Saturday Morning.

Pinnacle Pole sitter Sammy Reakes IV took charge of the field from the drop of the green flag, leading the first 16 laps. Danny Varin, who had started third, spent the first 8 laps in third before getting to second on lap 10.

Just 6 laps later, Varin was able to get by Reakes IV for the top spot. Behind Varin, Jordan Poirier and Nick Sheridan battled for the podium. A last-lap effort by Poirier to get by Varin came up short, and it was ultimately Varin who came out on top, claiming his 5th win of the season.

“I felt pretty good before that last caution, but the last caution had me nervous,” said Varin in victory lane. “This is huge for this team. We want more wins, but everybody else is really, really good. It’s been tough this year, we’ve hit a low spot this last month but my wife told me before we came up here that I owed her that trophy, so we snagged it.”

Jordan Poirier not only finished second in the A-Main, but also clinched his third tour championship in as many years.

“We were bad at the beginning of the feature, and then during the red flag I messed with my wing a little bit,” said Poirier. “I got better after that to end up on the podium.”

“We’ve been like second or third all year long, we were never the fastest but just consistent. We kept our nose clean and were always there. It’s a testament to this team. We didn’t break anything this year, we finished all our races.”

“At the end of the day that’s what we aimed for at the beginning of the season and to win the championship, it feels so good.”

Nick Sheridan held on to third place, rounding out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium.

“This is awesome, its our first time coming down here,” said Sheridan. “This track is great, we’ve never really raced anything this slick before, so we were trying some stuff with the setup. It was a little free but I’m not going to complain. There are some really good drivers in front of me.”

On Friday night the field was split into four timed hot lap groups. Matt Farnham, Chris Hile, Jason Barney and Nick Sheridan all earned Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards in their respective groups. The first two E&V Energy heat races were completed before the rain came, with Logan Crisafulli and Joe Trenca picking up wins.

As the program resumed Saturday morning, Jason Barney and Nash Ely won the final two E&V Energy heats.

The final scheduled on-track event for the Empire Super Sprints this season is Friday October 18th at the Outlaw Speedway in Dundee, NY for the annual $4,000 to win Hoag Memorial weekend.

RICHARD SCORES WIN IN CRSA’S RETURN TO CANADA
Race Report By: Marty Czekala – October 6, 2024

CORNWALL, ONTARIO—In CRSA's first race in Canada since 2008 and the first in Ontario, one of Canada's finest won the battle.

Bruno Richard started on pole and held off Lee Ladouceur and Tomy Moreau in the final laps to score his first career CRSA win in the Canadian CRSA/Crate Challenge at Cornwall Motor Speedway.

"This was the hardest race I ever won," said Richard in victory lane. "The car was perfect in the beginning, and then I needed to control my gas better. When I saw the No. 22, I knew he wanted the race.

With the win, Richard becomes the 83rd different winner and the sixth first-time winner of the year, the most in a season in a decade.

Richard started on the pole alongside Lee Ladouceur for the 25-lap season finale. Jordan Hutton began the race as the highest-running CRSA regular and was up to third on lap two before going off track in turn two. He would catch a break as the lap was not completed under green as Liam Ladouceur spun in turn two.

Richard held serve on the restart but, this time had Moreau underneath him for the lead. Richard would pull away and maintain a lead of about under a second until a pair of yellows on lap seven for a Jordan Hutton spin and lap 12 for Blake Warner spinning into the barrier.

With under 10 to go, it seemed like Richard had the win in the bag until, in lapped traffic with seven to go, Richard got too high off turn two, allowing Moreau to peak underneath for the lead.

“Lapped traffic closed the line and I had no room,” Richard said. “I said, 'maybe Tomy would pass,' but when coming out, I would pull good."

Lee Ladouceur would join in on this battle for the win, but when Richard got clear from lapped traffic, the No. 72 opened up the gap to win by 1.4 seconds.

"I'm proud to close the season like that at Cornwall," said Richard. "The car was perfect; when it's perfect and a good driver, everyone can keep that."

In a neck-and-tooth battle, Lee Ladouceur and Tomy Moreau traded the runner-up position numerous times in the final laps, but "General Lee" prevailed in his No. 51 ride. Ladouceur made moves off turn four on the high side that nearly led to contact but still provided exciting racing.

“It was lots of fun,” said Ladouceur. “We adjusted our car for the end of the race and wished it was five more laps. Happy with our second place finish, and it ended up being a good day."

This was the race Tomy Moreau has been looking forward to for a while. With many of his family and friends in attendance, Moreau piloted his No. 22 to third, tying his best finish of the season with Land of Legends Raceway July 4.

“We were close to Bruno a few times but just couldn’t get the exit off turn four,” said Moreau. “I’ve worked with Mike [Emhof] for three years to have a race home and we finally got one. I hope we can come back next year.”

Mecanique plus Robertson stepped in to give $100 to each of the following: Longest tow, 11th place, 19th place and the halfway bonus, plus the last driver on the track. John Smith traveled the most miles to get to Cornwall, while Scott Landers finished 11th and Blake Warner finished 19th. Richard led at the halfway point, while Liam Ladouceur was the last car on the track.

Garage Mario Moreau paid an extra $100 to the 15th place finisher, awarded to Kirsten Dombrowski.

Carquest Auto Parts of Canada also awarded $100 to the eighth-place finisher, Dillon Paddock.

Marc Suprenant, Lee Ladouceur and Jordan Hutton's heat wins earned them $100 each, thanks to Construction CPNA, Energie Line Batteries and SLME.

This concludes the 2024 CRSA season. The series’ awards ceremony and banquet is planned for Dec. 7 at Vernon Downs Casino Hotel. Details on tickets and hotel reservations will be released at a later date.

Aaron Reutzel Repeats Victory with POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints at Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track

Dallas, TX. (10/5/24) Aaron Reutzel would reign supreme and lead all twenty-five laps with the headlining POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League, running in conjunction with the Elite Outlaw Sprint Series, in Night Two of the POWRi Fall Double Header presented by Start2Finish TV to notch his third seasonal league victory and earn the hard-fought feature victory at Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track to pocket the $7K-payday.

Ramping excitement up onto the smooth and speedy surface of Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track with twenty-one talented entrants of the POWRi/Elite 410 Sprints would see Aaron Reutzel set a quick qualifying time of 14.175-second lap with Blaine Baxter, Ayrton Gennetten, and Garet Williamson each earning heat racing victories.

Enthralling the audience members on the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Scott Bogucki and night-one winner Aaron Reutzel lined up in the front row as Aaron Reutzel would use the high line to gain the lead on the opening lap with Scott Bogucki, Emerson Axsom, Ayrton Gennetten, and Garet Williamson all raced within the top five.

Launching out to a commanding lead, previous night victor Aaron Reutzel would appear to be in another gear by approaching lap traffic within the first five laps as Scott Bogucki and Emerson Axsom would battle within early podium placements as Garet Williamson and Ayrton Gennetten kept pace with the top five competitors,

Bunching the field back together with a mid-race caution, Aaron Reutzel would continue to set sail after the restart with Tanner Thorson blazing past several competitors into the runner-up placement as Emerson Axsom kept within striking distance.

Keeping up a blistering pace, Aaron Reutzel would not be denied in earning his second-straight and sixth career POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed main event with Tanner Thorson hard-charging past seven drivers and hustling into the runner-up position late.

“We came down to win and we executed, the track was good and tricky.” said an elated Aaron Reutzel in the Dallas Texas victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “On the restart I thought someone would be there but I just felt so good out front, the line I was running someone would have to show me a nose and I would know they were coming. This car was perfect tonight with a great team effort all weekend”.

Contesting closely behind would find Garet Williamson placing on the final podium placement late with Emerson Axsom among the frontrunners all feature to fourth as Jason Martin would round out the top five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League, running in conjunction with the Elite Outlaw Sprint Series, Night Two of the POWRi Fall Double Header presented by Start2Finish TV at Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track.

MILLER MAKES LAST LAP PASS TO SCORE MOWA WIN AT JACKSONVILLE

October 5, 2024 - Friday night’s victory was like deja vu for Joe B. Miller; it was his third straight Morrow Brothers Ford MOWA Sprint Car Series victory in the Ron Milton Race of Champions.

Sterling Cling and Joel Myers Jr led the field to the green flag with Cling getting the position at the start. As the two entered into turn three, Myers slid across in front of Cling to overtake the point and began to pull away. Behind Myers, action picked up as Brayton Lynch muscled past Sterling Cling for the second position, while RIley Goodno and Gage Montgomery battled for fourth and fifth.

Joe B. Miller, who started seventh, sat back and watched it all unfold in front of him, as he made a two-for-one move on lap ten to make his way into the top five. Joel Myers began to work lapped traffic by the midway point, as 21st-starting Paul Nienhiser was doing everything in his power to move forward and made his way to 11th by lap 17. The battle for third turned into a three car battle, where Gage Montgomery, Sterling Cling and Joe B. Miller traded sliders around the ¼-mile oval. Miller worked his way up to third when a yellow slowed the field as Gage Montgomery spun at the bottom of turn two with seven laps remaining. A nearly five-second lead for Joel Myers was erased as the field stacked back up before returning to green.

At the restart, Myers jumped out at the point, while Brayton Lynch was beginning to get challenged by Joe B. Miller, who moved his way past Lynch’s on the 21st lap and immediately set his sights on the leader. Myers continued to lead as the laps began to wind down. Catching the wall atop turn two on lap 23, Myers’ was able to regain composure and navigated around the top shelf of the speedway, once again with lapped traffic directly in front of him.

Myers’ entry to turn four as he approached the white flag, saw his #19 machine enter high and lose momentum and Joe B. Miller was right there to capitalize. Miller pulled alongside Myers down the back stretch and slid between two lapped cars as the top two raced back to the checkers. Miller narrowly edged ahead of Myers, who made contact with Austin Archdale and John Barnard, resulting in Archdale violently flipping past the flagstand as the checkered flew, immediately following by a red flag, thus ending the 25-lap affair.

After clearing the accident scene, Joe B. Miller made his way to victory lane and was greeted with applause from the fans and family members of the late Ron Milton. Friday’s event was MIller’s sixth-career victory. Joel Myers Jr and Brayton Lynch rounded out the podium.

While fans were focused on Miller’s victory lane, another driver who was just as jubilant, was Will Armitage, who was crowned the 2024 Morrow Brothers Ford MOWA Sprint Car Series Champion, after a season-long battle with Ryan Bunton. Entering Saturday’s finale, Armitage trailed by three points. Bunton’s bid came up short as the driver of the #6B machine retired early in B-Main action and wasn’t able to transfer into the A-Main.

The finish:

Justin Sanders makes late move to net Cotton Classic at Kings Speedway

By Gary Thomas

Hanford, CA…Justin Sanders and car owner Dale Miller continued their fantastic season on Friday at Kings Speedway in Hanford, as the Aromas driver captured an entertaining Cotton Classic with the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour.

It marked the sixth win in eight SCCT starts for Sanders this year and was his initial triumph in the Penny Newman Grain Cotton Classic. He also began the evening by earning the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time Award.

“It feels great to get another win for Dale and Tara Miller here tonight at Kings Speedway,” Sanders commented on the victory lane podium. “This track was perfect tonight and that made for some great racing. Luckily, I was able to get by Dominic Gorden there and score the win.”

Gorden was shot out of a cannon at the beginning of the SCCT feature, as he blasted under Tanner Holmes and Dominic Scelzi to grab the lead by the time one lap had been completed.

Sanders moved into second not long after and began to pace Gorden as lapped traffic came into play. A multiple groove surface was given to drivers in the main event and made for outstanding competition all throughout the field.

Gorden did a great job out front fending off Sanders, until traffic bunched up the leaders around the halfway point. Fresno’s Dominic Scelzi also moved in and joined the party, making it a ferocious three-car battle up front.

With 21 laps complete Sanders finally made the move to charge out front, as Gorden and Scelzi then fought for the runner up position. Scelzi had the opening to grab the spot but hopped over the right rear of lapped car Dylan Bloomfield in turn two, which put a tough end to his race.

Sanders led the remainder to bring home his 14th career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour win. Gorden crossed the stripe in second, followed by Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Cole Macedo, who started from position number 13.

Tanner Holmes and DJ Netto completed the top five. Netto put on a tremendous show in the main event, following a trip to the work area during the pace laps, which took away his original starting spot, which was the pole. The Hanford driver came from dead last and ran as high as fourth at one point.

Finishing sixth through 10th in the feature were Kaleb Montgomery, Andy Forsberg, Braden Chiaramonte, Brooklyn Holland and Shane Hopkins.

The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour returns to action this coming Saturday October 12th at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare. The annual Faria Memorial marks the final tune-up prior to Trophy Cup and the penultimate round of the SCCT campaign.

NIENHISER NABS NIGHT ONE OF RON MILTON RACE OF CHAMPIONS WEEKEND

October 4, 2024 - Paul Nienhiser added another win with the Morrow Brothers Ford MOWA Sprint Car Series to his resume, after scoring the win in Friday’s 25-Lap A-Main.

Nienhiser rolled from the fifth starting spot and was able to muscle his way forward and make a late-race pass over longtime race leader Will Armitage, who started outside of the front row.

With Nienhiser in front of the field, action picked up behind. Will Armitage fended off a late-race mount from Thomas Meseraull to grab another MOWA podium finish. Thomas Meseraull rounded out the podium, with Jake Neuman finishing fourth and Kameron Key fifth.

Further back in the field, all eyes were on Morton, Illinois driver Ryan Bunton who had an 18 point lead in the points chase coming into Friday night. Bunton made his way into the A-Main by virtue of transfer position from a B-Main. Bunton started the race in 23rd, with one goal in mind - to move forward. At the end of 25 Laps, Bunton advanced forward 15 positions to score an 8th place finish.

Heading into Saturday’s Championship event at Jacksonville, Bunton sits atop the standings, only 3 points ahead of Will Armitage. The focus will be on the top two drivers all night long, as it will be a constant battle to the final checkered flag for the points championship.

A-Main Finish:

1. 9X-Paul Nienhiser, 2. 7A-Will Armitage, 3. 50K-Thomas Meseraull, 4. 3N-Jake Neuman, 5. 31-Kameron Key, 6. 79-Gage Montgomery, 7. 51B-Joe B.

Aaron Reutzel Rides Away with POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint Win at Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track

Dallas, TX. (10/4/24) Aaron Reutzel would lead all twenty-five laps with perfection in the headlining POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League, running in conjunction with the Elite Outlaw Sprint Series, Night One of the POWRi Fall Double Header presented by Start2Finish TV to notch his fifth career league victory and earn the hard-fought feature victory at Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track.

Speeding up excitement onto the smooth and speedy surface of Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track with twenty-one talented entrants of the POWRi/Elite 410 Sprints would see Aaron Reutzel set a quick qualifying time of 13.359-second lap with Garet Williamson, Austin Mundie, and Jason Martin each earning heat racing victories.

Mesmerizing the audience members on the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Aaron Reutzel and Tanner Thorson lined up in the front row as Aaron Reutzel would gain the lead on the opening lap with Tanner Thorson, Brenham Crouch, Jason Martin, and Emerson Axsom all raced within the top five in the early stages.

Separating from the field, Aaron Reutzel would appear to be in a different area code while leading with Tanner Thorson attempting to stay within striking distance as the laps began to tick away at rapid rate with battling action ensuing behind the leading pair.

Continuing to show the front of the field through late race restarts, Aaron Reutzel would not be denied in earning his second seasonal POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed main event with Tanner Thorson maintaining the runner-up position through the later stages of the race while dealing with lap traffic.

“Our car was phenomenal, the track had everything tonight. It was technical and it made it a lot of fun to race, hopefully the race was fun for the fan tonight.” said Aaron Reutzel in the Dallas Texas victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “I love to see cars here, I love this place and wish I could race here more. Hats off to the crew for putting in the work and making this track as good as it was tonight.”

Contesting closely behind would find Jason Martin placing on the final podium placement from the starting fourth on the initial green flag. Brenham Crouch would be among the frontrunners all feature to fourth as Garet Williamson would round out the top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League, running in conjunction with the Elite Outlaw Sprint Series, Night One of the POWRi Fall Double Header presented by Start2Finish TV at Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track.

Schmidt tops off PDTR 360 Sprint Car title with A-main triumph

Thiel, Fahl, Neau rack up Wisconsin Sprint Car Championships victories

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) September 28, 2024 – Ben Schmidt of Plymouth put a bow on an Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car championship season in fitting fashion by parking his No. 35 machine in victory lane to close out the 2024 campaign during the seventh annual Wisconsin Sprint Car Championships at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, September 28.

In the 30-lap Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series A-main, Scotty Thiel of Sheboygan rolled to victory in the annual IRA Rick Schmidt Memorial Race to seal his first career IRA championship.

John Fahl of Brown Deer used some late-race heroics to rack up a win in the 20-lap Autometer Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Car A-main. Zach Raidart of Gurnee, Ill. sealed his first career Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Car Series title.

Mike Neau of Pleasant Prairie secured the 20-lap IRA Lightning Sprints A-main victory and Mark Heinert of Waukesha racked up the 2024 IRA Lightning Sprints title.

After starting on the outside of the front row in the 25-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car main event, Ben Schmidt emerged from a side-by-side duel with polesitter Shane Wenninger of Kewaskum, who was filling in behind the wheel of Bill Taylor's No. 69 car, to seize the lead in turn one on lap 2.

Two laps later, the first of three caution flags was displayed for the slowing car of Kurt Davis of South Milwaukee in turn one. Schmidt controlled the restart and built up a solid cushion over Wenninger by lap 6.

As T.J. Smith of Greenville rocketed into second from the eighth starting spot on lap 11, two-time Eastern Wisconsin Stock Car Winged Super Modified champion Billy Kreutz of Kiel advanced to third from the fourth starting position.

With Schmidt closing in on the rear of the field, the second caution flag of the race appeared on lap 12 for the stalled car of Chris Larson of Franksville in turn one.

Following the restart, Kreutz springboarded into second and 13th starter Joseph Hintz of Burnett rode the high line of the well-manicured track surface into fifth.

The third and final caution of the race came one lap later when Chris Larson stopped again in turn four.

The final restart of the race found Smith battling back to seize the runner-up spot, while Hintz powered up into third. At the head of the pack, Schmidt sliced his way through dense lapped traffic in the final few laps to secure his fourth A-main triumph of the 2024 season, 25th career PDTR A-main victory and 46th career MSA main event win.

The victory helped Schmidt capture his second career PDTR and MSA 360 Sprint Car championship 13 years after winning both titles in 2011.

Smith had to settle for second, Wenninger was third, seventh starter Alex Pokorski of West Bend finished fourth and Kevin Karnitz of West Bend charged up from the 18th starting spot to place fifth.

"We had kind of an odd start to the year with the rainouts and curfew night," Schmidt said. "We picked it up in the second half of the year. Since we put this team together in 2020, we've finished second every year we've run for points. Winning a championship is a great accomplishment for the guys on my crew. I have to thank them, my family and my sponsors for everything they do to help make this happen. This is awesome."

In memory of late 360-410 Sprint Car and Winged Super Modified driver Brian Portschy, who passed away 11 years ago, the Portschy family contributed $50 to the fifth place finisher in the PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car A-main, which Kevin Karnitz claimed.

Outside front row starter Blake Nimee of Oswego, Ill. edged out polesitter Scotty Thiel to take the lead exiting turn four of the opening circuit. Nimee opened a significant gap over Thiel until the leaders caught the rear of the field on lap 7, which allowed Thiel to close the gap.

After the leading raced in lockstep formation for the next 10 laps, a red flag appeared on lap 17 when the No. 19 machine of Jett Mann of Goshen, Ind. flipped in turn four. Thiel used a strong restart to slip underneath Nimee and seize the top spot in turn three.

After three more green flag laps were completed, a caution flag was displayed when Joe B. Miller of Millersville, Mo. stopped in turn two on lap 20. Following the restart, Nimee attempted to wrestle the lead away from Thiel with a slide job in turn two. However, Thiel crossed Nimee over heading down the backstretch to maintain the top spot.

Thiel then bolted away from his fellow competitors to seal his initial IRA 410 Sprint Car Series championship with his fourth A-main victory of the 2024 campaign and 29th career IRA main event triumph.

Nimee wound up second, 2023 IRA champion Brenham Crouch of Lubbock, Texas moved up from the eighth starting spot to place third, 2021 and 2022 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion Travis Arenz of Sheboygan Falls took fourth after starting fifth and two-time PDTR 360 Sprint Car champ Danny Schlafer of Sussex placed fifth from the seventh starting position.

After the initial start was waved off due to a spin, fifth starter Jimmy Sivia of Winthrop Harbor, Ill. won a battle with polesitter John Fahl to take the initial lead along the outside groove in turn two on lap 2.

Second starter Allen Hafford of Beach Park, Ill. gained second on lap two before a caution flag was displayed to the field on lap four when Tom Eller of Pleasant Prairie stopped along the front stretch.

When the race resumed, Hafford worked the low line to challenge Sivia for the top spot on lap 11. However, Sivia fended off Hafford's advances to retain the lead. Two laps later, Zach Raidart used the outside groove to secure second place on lap 13.

Raidart quickly moved in to pressure Sivia for the lead just before the two cars made contact in turn three on lap 16, which caused Raidart to spin and bring out the race's third caution flag.

Following the restart on lap 16, Sivia felt pressure from outside second row challenger Tyler Kuxhouse of Antioch, Ill. Mirroring the incident between Raidart and Sivia two laps prior, the two drivers made contact in turn three sending Kuxhouse spinning to produce the fourth and final caution flag of the race on lap 18.

Following the final restart, Fahl unleashed his No. 0 along the cushion and vaulted his way past Sivia into the top spot exiting turn two on lap 19.

Fahl, who captured back-to-back PDTR Super Modified championships at The Plymouth Dirt Track in 2014 and 2015, rode on from there to secure his first Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Car A-main victory of the 2024 season and second career Wisconsin wingLess Series A-main win.

Sivia placed second, seventh starter Bryce Andrews of Kenosha placed third, Tim Cox of Park City, Ill. wound up fourth after starting 12th and Ryan Zielski of Oconomowoc moved up from the 13th starting position to round out the top five.

Inside second row starter Jordan Funderburk of Wadsworth, Ill. outpowered second starter Mark Heinert to gain the lead in turn four of the opening lap. Funderburk held the top spot until he spun in turn four, which gave the lead to Heinert on lap 4.

Over the next 10 laps, seventh starter Mike Neau weaved his way through the pack to duel with Heinert for the top spot before seizing the lead in turn four on lap 15.

Neau cruised from there to nail down the A-main victory, eighth starter Chad Stouthamer of Big Bend finished third, newly crowned 2024 IRA Lightning Sprints champ Heinert placed fourth and Funderburk recovered from lap 4 spin to place fifth.

Kris Spitz of Salem won the 10-lap IRA 410 Sprint Car B main and Josh Davidson of Racine racked up the victory in the 10-lap Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Car B main.

Joe B. Miller earned the overall fast qualifier award in IRA 410 Sprint Car Series qualifying with a fast lap of 11.711 seconds.

T.J. Smith claimed overall fast time honors in PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car hot-lap-group qualifying in 12.649 seconds.

Chad Stouthamer of Big Bend seized the fast qualifier award in IRA Lightning Sprints qualifying with a lap of 13.389 seconds.

Longtime inspector and track worker Fred DeBlaey accepted the 2024 PDTR Dedication to Dirt Award during a pre-race presentation.

The 14th and final event of the 2024 PDTR campaign, sponsored by Jensen Sales & Service, equaled the season-high car count at The Plymouth Dirt Track with 95 total entries, including 33 IRA 410 Sprint Cars, 25 PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars, 22 Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Cars and 15 IRA Lightning Sprints.

The 2024 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing Awards Ceremony will take place Saturday, Oct. 12 at Racers Hall in Plymouth at 7 p.m. The event honors the top three points finishers, along with the rookie of the year and most improved award winners in the PDTR Late Model, 360 Sprint Car, Grand National and B Mod divisions.

Doug Dodson Captures Clash by the Creek

The IMCA RaceSaver Sprints showed in a large way Saturday night at Hagerstown Speedway with fifty-three signed in and when it was all over Doug Dodson stood on top. Six heat races started the night with Drew Young, Robbie Bartchy, Doug Dodson, John Scarborough, Timmy Bittner and Zach Rhodes with two B mains won by Austin Reed and Jason Roush. With feature up next John Scarborough and Timmy Bittner paced the twenty-eight car field to green with Bittner out first Scarborough second and Dodson showing the higher line was working riding in third. Bittner stayed out front as top three closed up with Dodson using his highline to take second and move on Bittner and five laps in Dodson went to the lead and started to check out. Scarborough moved to second as Dave Grube was closing up to Bittner. Bittner found a new groove and made his way back to second bring Grube along. The laps were running down as Grube made it to second leaving Bittner in third and with Dodson now in sight. Grube continued to reel in Dodson but it was not to be as Doug Dodson showed the way under a waving checkered flag for his first win of the season. At the line it was Doug Dodson, Dave Grube, Timmy Bittner, Dylan Shatzer, Mike Koehler, Owen Dimm, Dustin Young, John Scarborough, Mike Melair, Zach Rhodes, Austin Reed, Tim Iulg, Braedon Varner, Drew Young, Hunter McFadden, Ian Cumens, Jarrett Cavalet, Kruz Kepner, Kenny Heffner, John Braim, Robbie Bartchy, Reed Thompson, Colton Moyer, Ken Duke, Jason Roush, Colton Hendershot, Erin Statler and AJ Barton.

Aaron Reutzel Seizes Sprint Invaders $5,000 “Fall Haul” with Sprint Invaders at 34 Raceway! Paul Nienhiser Clinches Sprint Invaders Championship

by Bill Wright

West Burlington, IA, September 28, 2024 – Aaron Reutzel took an early lead and never looked back Saturday night at the 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa, capturing the 30-lap $5,000 “Fall Haul” main event. The Clute, Texas native’s win marks the eight winner in as many events in “Fall Haul” history. It was also Reutzel’s first ever Sprint Invaders win, and it came aboard the Ridge & Sons Racing #87. Paul Nienhiser of Chapin, Illinois capped off a great season with a top five finish sealing his first ever Sprint Invaders season title. Car owner Scott Bonar won his series record fourth car owner championship.

Terry McCarl led early in the main event, with Reutzel and Ryan Bunton in tow. Reutzel was already challenging McCarl for the point when Mike Mayberry slowed two laps in, bringing the first caution flag of the night. Reutzel shot into the lead on the restart and set sail, getting to lapped traffic by lap seven. Behind him, McCarl, Bunton, Cheris Martin and Colton Fisher followed.

At one point, Reutzel got over the top of the track in turn two and almost hit the tire entering the pit entrance. He righted his sprinter, and still retained a straightaway lead over McCarl. At the halfway point, a 5.4 second lead was erased when Luke Verardi got over the top of turn two and came to a stop, setting up a restart that saw Reutzel leading McCarl, Bunton, Martin and Fisher.

Martin shot into third on the restart, and Cody Wehrle entered the top five. The sixth running Fisher, also took a trip over the top of turn two two laps later, and Garrett Benson did the same on lap 18. Nienhiser was moving up from his 14th starting spot and entered the top five on the lap 17 restart, and took fourth on the restart for Benson.

Reutzel was back into lappers with seven to go, when Cam Martin suffered a flat right rear tire. The last stoppage of the race did not phase Reutzel, and with the track now taking rubber, he maintained his advantage to the checkers, ahead of McCarl, Chris Martin, Nienhiser and Bunton. JJ Hickle, Carson McCarl, Wehrle, hard-charger Dustin Selvage and Cam Sorrels completed the top ten. Reutzel, Tucker Daly, Wehrle and Terry McCarl were heat winners. McCarl also won the Dash. Tanner Gebhardt won the B main.

In addition to a boosted purse made possible by dozens of sponsors, a plethora of contingencies were also handed out (see below).

“There was enough moisture out there to hold on,” said Reutzel of his close call when he drove over the top of turn two early in the feature. “There might have been some rubber laid late, but it was a good race early. The track was awesome. The track was a lot of fun. The car was awesome all night. We really didn’t have to make any changes. We were able to run it really hard.”

“This is such a great event, and they do such a good job of promoting it,” said the second place McCarl. “I really appreciate all the sponsors and doing this for our teams. I’d like to tell them how much we appreciate it. I was happy to run second. My wing broke before the green flag, and I couldn’t move it. I couldn’t fight Aaron off at all, and couldn’t stop him. I was praying for rubber and trying to hang on. We were able get second and a Dash win, so it was a good money night as well. I can’t thank my partners enough.”

“This has been a growing event and the amount of skill that comes in every year just keeps on going up and up,” said the third place Martin. “I’m just very proud of my team for giving me a good car and putting me in a position to finish well.”

“Obviously, we wanted to stand on the top step tonight, but I have to thank Scott Bonar and everyone that helps us,” said Nienhiser of his series championship. “I was lucky enough to drive all the races this year. To cap it off with a championship is what we set our goals to. This is a great group of drivers that run in this series. These guys make me strive to be better. You have that target on your back and you have to work all the harder. It’s a group effort and takes our families to make it possible.”

Brian Brown Reigns with POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints at I-70 Speedway

Odessa, MO. (9/28/24) Brian Brown would dominate the night with the headlining POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League in the POWRi Double presented by Start2Finish TV to notch his second league victory and earn the outstanding caution-free feature victory at I-70 Speedway.

Speeding up excitement onto the smooth and speedy surface of I-70 Speedway with the POWRi 410 Sprints would see Brian Brown set a quick qualifying time of 13.375-second lap with Brian Brown and Garet Williamson each earning heat racing victories.

Mesmerizing the audience members on the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Brian Brown and Ayrton Gennetten lined up in the front row as Brian Brown would gain the lead on the opening lap with Ayrton Gennetten, Kerry Madsen, Hunter Schuerenberg, and Garet Williamson all raced within the top five.

Quickly occurring lap traffic while stretching out a commanding lead, Brian Brown would continue to set the pace out front as the midpoint of the feature would find a second separation between the leading Brown and second-place running Ayrton Gennetten with Kerry Madsen, Hunter Schuerenberg, and Garet Williamson tightly battled inside the top five as Blake Hahn, Danny Sams III, Jason Martin, Xavier Doney, and Zeb Wise ran inside the top ten.

Going caution-free and uncontested, Brian Brown would not be denied in earning his second career POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in a thrilling main event while Ayrton Gennetten would hustle into the runner-up position and Kerry Madsen rounded out the podium placements.

“Track was great at the end, and we could really move around wherever we wanted, but the car was great all night,” said Brian Brown in the Odessa Missouri victory lane ceremony celebrations.

Contesting closely behind would find Garet Williamson among the frontrunners all feature to finish fourth as Hunter Schuerenberg would round out the top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints in the POWRi Double presented by Start2Finish TV at I-70 Speedway.

ZACH SOBOTKA DRIVES CAR WITHOUT FRONT WING TO FIRST CAREER CRSA FEATURE WIN AT UTICA-ROME; HUTTON TAKES I-90 PIT STOP CHALLENGE; PIERCE HAS FOUR-POINT LEAD INTO CHAMPIONSHIP FINALE
 

Race Report By: Marty Czekala – September 28, 2024

VERNON, N.Y. – It’s been a season of adaptability for Zach Sobotka.

Entering Friday night’s event at Utica-Rome Speedway, Sobotka had recorded three top 10s in four races, with a best finish of third at Brewerton.

Sobotka redrew the pole and led all 25 laps to take his first career CRSA victory in the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge.

This one took some grit and determination, though.

On lap eight of the feature, the front wing detached from Sobotka’s No. 38, an issue that could affect the aero and downforce of his self-owned 305 Sprint that was recently purchased.

“This thing handled perfectly and then I had to hang on,” said Sobotka. “Made the car a lot tighter. Glad we hung on.”

The pressure affected the handling of his No. 38 but did not deter Sobotka's momentum in clean air.

“When it flew off, I eased up, not knowing what it was going to do,” Sobotka said. “The harder I drove it though, the better it handled for me. I didn’t know what to expect.”

Sobotka drew the pole for the 25-lap feature with Tyler Graves to his outside. Graves wasted no time clearing, but before the first lap was completed, a red flag came out for Tyler Chartrand flipping into the turn three weeds. Chartrand escaped OK.

This brought up a complete double-file restart, which Sobotka cleared. Driving an owned Blake Warner No. 21D, Dillon Paddock made his way up to second on lap five. That all changed on lap eight when Sobotka lost the front wing and Paddock ran over it, damaging part of his ride.

Sobotka continued to hang on after a pair of cautions for Billy VanInwegen and Dalton Herrick slow, consistently leaving the gap at under a second and not looking back to take the checkers.

This makes Hutton the 83rd different winner in CRSA history. With the win, Sobotka becomes the sixth first-time winner this season, joining Tyler Chartrand, Dan Craun, Adam DePuy, Dillon Paddock and Matt Rotz. That’s more than any prior season in the last decade.

“I got my first win in a big block in four starts, five in this,” said Sobotka. “Definitely a big accomplishment for me and all my guys over there. I can’t be thankful enough for all of them.”

Afterward, Sobotka was light for the 1525 lb minimum weight. Per the rulebook infraction, Sobotka receives last-place money and points.

Tyler Graves recorded his best career CRSA finish in second. Dirty air was his disadvantage tonight, and he hoped that the first lap counted.

“I needed that first start to stick,” said Graves, who has four top fives in his last five races. “It was all about dirty air. I could get up to him and get real tight. I don’t know how he held on with no nose wing.”

The points entering tonight’s CRSA feature were tied between Tomy Moreau and Kyle Pierce. With Pierce’s third to Tomy Moreau's fifth-place run, the gap between the top two for the overall points championship is four points.

“That was wild from lap one to 25,” Pierce said. “We had a good battle going on with Tomy. Threw some sliders for a couple laps. We did the best we could do going onto tomorrow.”

Jordan Hutton entered tonight’s I-90 Pit Stop Challenge finale with a 10-point lead on Jeff Trombley. His chances were nearly dashed in heat racing when he damaged the right front drag arm, putting him in the rear of the B-Main where he scored the final transfer spot. It was a feature for Hutton where he had to go “balls to the wall,” but a sixth-place finish and finishing ahead of Trombley was enough to clinch the miniseries.

“I was hitting the cushion as hard as I could,” said Hutton. “We kind of missed it a little, but if we started toward the front, we would've had a good shot. This is the one we were running with for the points. With a busy schedule, it didn’t work out the way we wanted to.”

The No. 66 gained 16 spots from 22nd tonight to earn the Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger of the Race.

Sobotka was awarded the Maguire Family of Dealerships Magnificent Move of the Race for racing without a front wing for most of the feature.

CRSA now gets a good night's sleep before the championship finale at Land of Legends Raceway tomorrow night and the finale for the DisBatch Brewing Company Challenge. Can’t make it? Watch live for free on Land of Legends TV and simulcasted on DIRTVision.

Champions Crowned at Skagit Speedway

9/22/24

By Kaleb Hart

Alger, WA - History was made on Saturday night at Skagit Speedway with five drivers taking home titles, highlighted by Jason Solwold becoming the third driver in track history to win track titles in all three winged sprint car divisions.

Results in the Sportsman Sprints and Skagit Aggregates IMCA Modifieds are unofficial at the time of this writing, as officials will be reviewing results Sunday and may issue a correction on current written results. The review is not expected to affect the race winner or championship winner in either division.

A third place run for Solwold was enough to secure the championship in the Karmart 410 division, as Jason came into the night leading driver’s points over Trey Starks and Trey suffered a mechanical malfunction on lap 3 that ended his evening. The main event was dominated by Robbie Price, who led all thirty laps of the feature for the $5,500 to prize, with Colby Thornhill racing to second place in the feature behind him. While Starks suffered a DNF, he did win the Owner’s Championship for his team.

Starks wrapped up the Driver’s and Owner’s Championship in the 360 division with a dominating performance in what was a stop and start A Feature. Trey led every lap in front of the field, with Jesse Schlotfeldt and Robbie Price duking it out behind him for the runner up spot, with Schlotfeldt eventually capturing 2nd for good.

Kai Dixon put the exclamation point on his excellent 2024 by winning the main event and season championship in the Sportsman Sprints. Dixon led all twenty five laps of the main event, keeping Levi Hillier out of the top spot on his way to his first Skagit Speedway title. Hillier and Alden Ostrom rounded out the podium.

In the Skagit Aggregates IMCA Modifieds, Jeff Westergard finished out his stellar year by leading all 25 laps of the feature and rolling away with the track championship to go with it. Ben Gunderson was challenged early and often for his runner up spot but never gave it up to equal his best finish, while Alan Grimbly was third.

Mike Guffey set a new track record in the Hornet class and took the lead from Biran Michelson on lap seven of the main event to finish his year off with a win. Steve Peters was second and Wyatt Covert was third. Michelson secured his second track championship despite a DNF in the main.

Kent repeats as USL champion, Shebester wins at Red Dirt Raceway

By John Rittenoure

MEEKER, Okla. (September 21, 2024) - A highly successful season for the Ortco Inc. United Sprint League presented by Same Day Auto Repair series came to a close Saturday at Red Dirt Raceway and defending champion Johnny Kent came away with another title that was not decided until the final checkered flag.

Kent led the first 22 laps of Saturday’s finale before giving away the lead and victory to Steven Shebester. But it was still enough for a second USL championship.

“I love this place,” Kent said of racing at Red Dirt. “I come here over confident and it does not matter if I start at the back of a heat or what, we are going to end up at the front when the night is over.

“We started to get a little snug late in the feature. But I knew as long as i could stay in front of Tim (Kent) we would be alright. I thought we were going to get another one, but Shebester is tough here.”

Shebester charged from sixth starting position to challenge Kent and got around him with seven laps remaining.

“The track was pretty tricky and I started being able to get on the wall and get a little more bit to get off (the turn),” Shebester said of the track conditions. “I saw we were gaining on him so I picked it up a little bit and was able to get to him. It was kind of hard getting by, I messed up a little bit. I got by him and got a good run off and slid him going into 3 and 4.

“This is my first race with (the USL) this year. It is nice to get a win.”

The USL season became a Kent family battle with cousin Tim Kent leading the points chase for much of the season and Johnny giving chase.

“It started a little rough, had a good run midway then we both tried to give it away last night”, Kent said of his season that saw him take the point lead away from Tim for the first time Friday at Creek County Speedway.

However, trouble plagued both Johnny and Tim Friday putting the point outcome up in the air.

“I have to thank Kelly Fode,” Kent said. “He saved me last year and did it again last night. We hurt a motor Friday at Creek and he gave us this motor for the weekend so we could have a shot at this. I ran Kelly’s car at Creek and change motors this morning.

“Tim had an accident Friday in the B feature and we were 19 points (ahead) going into last night and came into tonight plus 16. We just did what we could do.

“It is super cool to be able to do this. We have been at it several years.”

Did Johnny enjoy beating his cousin despite the bad luck both endured.

“Absolutely, he would do the same,” smiled Kent.

Brett Wilson finished third Saturday topping a strong weekend that saw him run second to Tyler Edwards on Friday. The two finishes moved Wilson to fourth in the final standings. Tim Kent did manage to finish fourth but it was not enough to get the points lead back from Johnny. Tanner Conn rounded out the top five. Friday night winner Edwards climbed to sixth place after winning the B main earning him a 13th place starting position in the feature.

Franek Victorious in ESS Outlaw Fall Nationals

By Curtis Berleue (Dundee, NY) | For the fourth time in 2024, Davie Franek sat in Empire Super Sprints victory lane on Friday night. After leading just the final three laps, Franek was able to cash in and take home the big check in the Outlaw Fall Nationals at Outlaw Speedway.

Pinnacle Pole Sitter Matt Farnham and Shawn Donath brought the field to the green flag for the 25-lap affair, with Farnham taking the early lead over Donath, Matt Tanner and Davie Franek.

While Farnham and Donath had opened a sizeable gap over the rest of the field, fifth-starting Jason Barney quickly worked his way into the top three utilizing the extreme low side of the speedway. When the leaders reached lap traffic, however, Barney was able to close the gap and moved past Donath into second. Just two laps later, Barney continued his march forward and took the lead from Farnham.

A caution on lap 16 led to a hectic restart, as Donath got sideways between turns one and two. Somehow the driver of the #53 was able to avoid catastrophe and gathered it back together, only losing two spots in the process.

Another restart with just four laps to go again bunched up the field, and working the extreme high side of the Speedway, second running Davie Franek got by Barney with just three laps remaining and never looked back, adding another win at the Outlaw Speedway to his resume.

“There was a little thin curb up there,” said Franek in victory lane. “I really didn’t want to show him (Barney) my nose because I didn’t want him to move up.”

“On the restart there he knew I was on the outside and he kind of crowded me a little bit, but that’s what you gotta do. I had to match with him in the middle of three and four – I just hit the curb enough where I got a little drive, and the rest was history.”

Coming home second was Donath, who recovered well from his mid-race setback.

“On that restart I thought Jason was going to slide across and try to pinch me on the top there, and he didn’t move up and I had nowhere to go,” said Donath. “We were able to recover, the track was super racey and we were pretty good wherever we went.”

After leading 10 laps, Jason Barney rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third.

“Thankful to be down here, the racetrack was good, we had good track position,” said Barney. “Early in the race, the bottom was good and really no one was there. I thought we had enough racecar to win but obviously we didn’t.”

“When you’re leading you don’t really know what to do, where to go. He (Franek) did a good job. That one stings a little bit but happy to be third.”

The field was split into three timed hot lap groups to start the night, with Matt Tanner, Jared Zimbardi and Davie Franek earning Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards in their respective groups. E&V Energy heat wins went to Jordan Poirier, Jason Barney and Matt Farnham, while the Cobra Coaches Dash presented by Fratto Curbing was won by Jeff Halligan.

DAVE BLANEY CALLS IT A CAREER AFTER WINNING THE "LOU BLANEY MEMORIAL" FOR THE 3RD TIME WITH THE "410" SPRINTS AT SHARON; ERICK RUDOLPH CAPS OFF CHAMPIONSHIP BRP TOUR SEASON WITH 3RD BIG-BLOCK MOD WIN

September 21, 2024 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

By Mike Leone

(Hartford, OH)... After some early morning rain, the skies cleared and turned into a beautiful day at Sharon Speedway for the rescheduled 16th annual "Lou Blaney Memorial" on Saturday night. The event got underway on August 17 until rain overspread the area after Sprint Car qualifying. On that night, Ryan Blaney was on hand to remember his grandfather, raise funds for the Alzheimer's Association and celebrate his 2023 NASCAR Cup Series Championship. While Ryan was unable to return on Saturday, the fans packed the grandstands for the largest crowd of the season outside of the World of Outlaws Sprint Car event. Sixty-nine race cars were on hand for the two-division show as Dave Blaney (Hovis Auto & Truck Supply "410" Sprint Cars presented by Bala Management) and Erick Rudolph (BRP Big-Block Modified Tour) celebrated in the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply victory lane.

There's no better way to go out in sports than doing it on top and on Saturday night Dave Blaney decided the time was right. The National Sprint Car Hall of Famer regained the lead back from Ryan Smith on lap eight then held off a last lap charge by central Pennsylvania standout Danny Dietrich to win the 30-lap "Lou Blaney Memorial" for the third time. In the 16-year history, Blaney is the only Sprint Car driver to win the event more than once and Saturday night's sendoff in memory of his father was worth $12,000 for the 95-time World of Outlaws winner and 1995 champion, who began his career in 1981. Blaney also won the event in 2014 and became the first repeat winner in 2018.

"This is big," expressed the emotional 61-year-old Hartford, Ohio native. "This is a race Dale (Blaney) and I try to win every year. To beat that guy (Danny Dietrich) in my last race...because I'm officially done right now- there's no better way to retire than to win this one."

"It was a great race," added Blaney. "I don't think I was the fastest car by any means. The 6 (Smith) had trouble and the 48 (Dietrich) was all over me, but we hung on. I tried to protect and saw where Danny was getting his runs from. You don't think too much and run as hard as you can and hope you don't give him a lane to drive up in front of you. I can't believe we did it- this is awesome. Thank you to everyone for coming out."

Blaney drew the pole for the feature and took off in the lead over Smith and fellow National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Tim Shaffer. Brandon Spithaler had the top working going sixth to fourth on the opening lap then drove around Shaffer for third. Smith found the topside to his liking as he made the pass of Blaney off turn two to lead lap three. By lap four, the lead trio of Smith, Blaney, and Spithaler pulled away from the pack until a caution for Greg Wilson with four laps scored. Wilson had charged from 20th to 12th before clipping an infield tire and knocking the front end out.

Back under green, eyes shifted to northern Ohio standout Cap Henry. Henry started seventh and moved into the top five on lap five then drove under Shaffer for fourth on lap six. Back up front, Smith was setting a good pace. Smith, who won the $4,000 Western PA Speedweek event on June 1 at Sharon, was trying for a payoff of three times that for the central Pa. based BJD Motorsports team. Smith though got into the turn four fence on lap eight allowing Blaney to regain the lead. Spithaler then passed Smith for second on lap 10 before a caution for Logan McCandless. Under caution Smith had to pit with a flat tire.

Henry and Dietrich were swapping fourth place back and forth with Dietrich getting the spot before the caution then inherited third when Smith exited. When racing resumed on lap 11, Henry regained third. By the halfway point, the top three of Blaney, Spithaler, and Henry opened up ground on the rest of the field. Henry snuck under and past Spithaler for second on lap 18 with Dietrich following in third one lap later. Spithaler got into the fence and slowed with a flat tire to bring out the event's final caution with 19 laps scored.

The caution wasn't what Henry wanted to see as it appeared as if he had the fastest car and a great opportunity to overtake Blaney for the lead. Henry was fresh off a $30,000 victory one week ago at Fremont Speedway and had his sights set on a fourth career Sharon win. When green replaced yellow on lap 20, Dietrich passed Henry once again- this time for second, and two laps later lost third to Cale Thomas.

With five laps to go, Dietrich closed in on Blaney. The two raced side-by-side in turns three and four for several laps. On the final lap, Blaney ducked low in lapped traffic opening up the top lane for Dietrich. It appeared Dietrich may have had enough momentum to sweep around Blaney in turn two, but Blaney got to the top just in time to shunt his run. Then Dietrich tried to get under Blaney in turn three, but Blaney shut the door just in time. Blaney took his Ryan Blaney Family Foundation/DRE Custom Trailers-sponsored #10 to his 38th career Sharon victory by 0.519 seconds. Blaney also became the season's fifth different winner in five "410" Sprint Car races.

Dietrich, who won the $5,000 Ohio Speedweek show on June 12, settled for the $4,000 runner-up after making the last minute decision to bring the Gary Kauffman-owned #48 west after the morning rainout at BAPS Motor Speedway. "I raced my ass off and it's a tough one to swallow with a four and a half four drive back home but I have a lot of respect for that guy (Dave Blaney)," stated the 36-year-old Gettysburg, Pa. driver. "We come here to win and don't make any friends on the race track, but you have to race him with respect for one of the most respectful people on the race track. It's fun to race with him. He's fast here so to run second- we'll take it, but wish we were one spot better."

"I feel like we were a tick better than him at the end there," continued Dietrich. "He doesn't make any mistakes. I knew he could see me and had to have heard me for awhile. I thought if I could rattle his cage and maybe get in front of him, but I didn't want to crash him or myself. I know how special this race is to the Blaney Family and it's a race he should ultimately win. It's pretty cool to be able to run this race. Thanks to everyone for coming out- it's a packed house and I love to see it. I love Sharon and love coming out here when we can. If the situation is the same next week maybe we'll back for the Outlaws. We have a pretty damn good car for this place."

Fifth starting Thomas came on late to finish third in Jay Kiser's #23. After winning the Attica Raceway Park track championship on Friday night with a runner-up finish, Henry, the 2024 AFCS Champion, settled for fourth in Jeff Ward's #33w. Shaffer was fifth in the Demyan/Rudzik #49x. Dale Blaney, who won the 2019 "Lou Blaney Memorial", took the Tiger Barris #32B from the 14th starting spot to a 6th place finish. Cole Duncan was 7th after starting 12th. Completing the top 10 were A.J. Flick, Carl Bowser, and Ricky Peterson.

Spithaler set fast time overall against the 38-car field in qualifying with a lap of 13.769 to earn $250 from Knox Bakery. Heat winners were Lee Jacobs, Henry, Shaffer, and Dave Blaney, while Michael Bauer won the last chance B main. Eight drivers were unable to return from the August 17 rainout meaning a total of 46 different Sprints were on hand between the two nights.

Erick Rudolph joined Dave Blaney as a three-time winner of the "Lou Blaney Memorial" on the Big-Block Modified side. The New York standout capped off his third straight BRP Tour championship and fifth of his career by passing Mike Kinney on lap 15 to capture the victory in the 35-lap Hovis Auto & Truck Supply feature worth $2,500. It was also Rudolph's third Sharon win of the season as he won in all three appearances worth a total of $6,500.

"This is the first time we've come here this year when the track was slick from top to bottom," acknowledged the 32-year-old Ransomville, NY racer. "It took us a handful of laps to get going but then the car came alive and I was along for the ride. I was able to do what my car wanted to do as it was dialed in. It's been a great season and this locked us in for the championship. I have to thank my family for all the support at home, and all the guys that come with me each and every race to make sure the car is in tip top shape which makes it easy for me. I also have to thank all of my sponsors to make sure we have exactly what we need to go up and down the road."

Rex King, Jr. drew the pole and took off in the early lead over Kinney and Garrett Krummert. King, who won the 2014 and 2019 events, was also looking for his third event win as he pulled away on lap three. The battle was on for second as Kinney was trying to fend off Krummert and Rudolph before a caution for Steve Slater with 10 laps completed.

When racing resumed on lap 11, fifth starting Rudolph took third from Krummert. Kinney surprised everyone as he went to the top and drove around King in turn four to lead lap 12. Rudolph would get by King for second on lap 14 before a four-car accident in turn three. Back under green on lap 15, Kinney got too high and hit the fence allowing Rudolph to make the winning pass. King regained second on lap 17 getting by Kinney. A caution for Rodney Beltz slowed action for the final time of the event with 19 laps completed.

In the final 16 laps, King stayed within striking distance and closed late in lapped traffic, but Rudolph held on to win by 0.797 seconds. Rudolph's seventh career Sharon win came in the Briggs Motorsports-owned, Stirling Lubricants/Highmark/Nationals Maintenance Contracting/Snyder Industries/United Steelworkers-sponsored #25. Rudolph has now won three of the last five "Lou Blaney Memorial" events for the Modifieds and has given outside invaders five straight wins against the locals.

After finishing fifth in his first ever Sharon appearance on August 10, Canadian Dalton Slack returned and did two spots better after starting eighth. Krummert was fourth. Kinney dropped to fifth, but still a great effort for the former UMP Modified racer. Ninth starting Jeremiah Shingledecker was sixth. Tyler Willard, another Canadian, was seventh over Jordan Ehrenberg and Dave Murdick. Brad Rapp raced from 18th to 10th. Jeff Miller went 22nd to 12th and earned the $100 Summit Racing Equipment hard charger gift card.

Heat winners were Rudolph, Krummert, Murdick, and Willard, while third generation racer, Hayden Holden, won the last chance B main in his second visit. There were 31 cars on hand, and like the Sprint Cars, eight drivers were unable to return from August 17 bringing the count to 39 different cars.

The next and final event of the 2024 season will be next Saturday ( September 28) for the return of the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series for $12,000 to-win. The Economod Mania Tour will also be on hand for $800 to-win presented by Alcon Mechanical. Reserved seats and advance general admission tickets are available through the WoO at https://mpv.tickets.com/?agency=WRG_SNG_MPV&orgid=52711&eventId=104123. Tickets will be available at the gates.

Sam Hafertepe Jr Snags Win with POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints at Creek County Speedway

Sapulpa, OK. (9/21/24) Sam Hafertepe Jr would prove his on-track veteran status by biding his time for the precise moment and racing to victory with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League in Night Two of the T2 Promotions Sooner Showdown presented by Start2Finish TV to notch his second league victory and earn the outstanding feature victory at Creek County Speedway.

Charging onto the Creek County Speedway with the POWRi 410s would see previous night winner Noah Gass set a quick qualifying time of 12.301-second lap with Cody Gardner and Kyle Clark each earning heat racing victories.

Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Cody Gardner and Ayrton Gennetten lined up in the front row as Cody Gardner would gain the lead on the opening lap with Ayrton Gennetten, Sam Hafertepe Jr, Lane Goodman, and Kyle Clark all raced within the top five.

Cruising out front comfortably for the majority of the early laps, Cody Gardner would appear to be the fastest on a tricky track surface as lap traffic would enter into the fray around the mid-point of the feature event with Sam Hafertepe Jr moving into the runner-up spot as Ayrton Gennetten, Kyle Clark, and Xavier Doney all kept pace inside the battling top five.

Leading late, Cody Gardner would continue to outrun Sam Hafertepe Jr by running the top line around Creek County Speedway as Xavier Doney began a charge to the front of the field by using the very different low side speed to gain on the leading pair, even creeping into contention for the top spot as caution would wave before Doney could capitalize.

Using a late-race restart with five laps remaining to perfection, Sam Hafertepe Jr would rise to the occasion and blast past Cody Gardner for the preferred position as Gardner would instantly change lines to keep Doney at bay in third.

Holding steady for the final four revolutions, Sam Hafertepe Jr would not be denied in earning his first seasonal POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed main event with the leader of twenty-six laps Cody Gardner staying in the runner-up position as the checkers waved.

“I was biding my time early while waiting for the bottom to come in but we were so fast up top, Xavier showed me the line with the caution coming out at a perfect time for me. He might have won if the yellow didn’t come out but that’s happened to me before and sometimes it just falls your way,” said a very pleased Sam Hafertepe Jr in the Sapulpa Oklahoma victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “I wish we could have gotten it done last night but to come back here tonight and get it done feels better with the big payday”.

Contesting closely behind would find Xavier Doney placing on the final podium placement from the starting ninth on the initial green flag. Point leader Ayrton Gennetten would be among the frontrunners all feature to fourth as Blake Hahn would drive through the field after a lap six work area visit to round out the top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints in Night Two of the T2 Promotions Sooner Showdown presented by Start2Finish TV at Creek County Speedway.

Andy Forsberg strikes for SCCT Adobe Cup glory at Petaluma Speedway

By Gary Thomas

Petaluma, CA…Auburn’s Andy Forsberg has always been fond of competing at the sticky and hooked up Petaluma Speedway. On Saturday night the SCCT point leader put together a dominating performance in the feature, racking up $5,500 by way of winning the 13th annual Adobe Cup.

The now 27-time Sprint Car champion piloted the Pacific Highway Rentals/ Pit Stop USA No. 92 to his 5th career Sprint Car Challenge Tour victory, placing him into a tie with Colby Copeland for fourth all-time.

“That track was certainly right up my alley in the main event,” Forsberg said on the front stretch. “I know that some of the newer generation of drivers don’t particularly enjoy a track like that, but it brought back a lot of memories of the old days. I took an extra lap at the end just to soak it all in. My guys gave me an amazing car there, so I really have to thank them and all the fans for coming out to support the Adobe Cup.”

Ocean Speedway champion Caleb Debem jumped out front at the waving of the green flag in the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour finale. Debem set the pace up front until Forsberg blasted by for the lead on lap four, which he would never relinquish.

Following that Forsberg had his way with things and had to survive an excessive amount of restarts, but each time hit his marks to perfection. The recently crowned Placerville Speedway champ rocketed away to bring home the $5,000 grand prize, along with the $500 Shop Kyle Larson Bonus as a full-time car winning the feature.

Dunnigan youngster Luke Hayes put together the finest night of his Sprint Car Challenge Tour career, winning the High Sierra Dash and scoring a runner up finish in the main event. Roseville’s Sean Becker did a fantastic job in the 35-lapper to carve his way from 16th to third, rounding out the podium. It marked his fourth top-five effort of the year with SCCT.

Jodie Robinson looked impressive for the second week in a row and brought home a fourth-place result at the checkered flag. The Roseville driver had battled her way to second at one point on a restart, only to have a slowdown negate the beautiful move.

Placerville’s Shane Hopkins continued his strong 2024 campaign by earning the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award with an exquisite run from 19th to fifth. The 30-year-old set fast time to begin the night, however, a seventh-place finish in his heat race set him farther back to start the main.

Completing the top-10 in the Adobe Cup finale were John Clark, Kurt Nelson, Dustin Freitas, Bradley Terrell and Brad Bumgarner.

Nelson was another driver who had a solid night, but experienced tough luck in the main event. The past Ocean titlist had raced his way into second on lap 23, only to have a lapped car spin in front of him with three circuits remaining. Nelson had nowhere to go and brought out a caution but was able to salvage a seventh-place effort at the end.

The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour heads next for Hanford’s Kings Speedway on Friday October 4th. The event marks the 39th running of the Cotton Classic.

Mintz gets exciting last lap 410 Fremont win; Kalib Henry is champ

Saturday, Sept. 21, 2024

By Brian Liskai

Fremont, Ohio – Most racers will tell you it’s better to be running second toward the end of a race. That is exactly what benefitted Craig Mintz Saturday, Sept. 21 at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction on Fremont Federal Credit Union Night.

Mintz, from Gibsonburg, Ohio, pressured Kalib Henry the last third of the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint feature. Henry switched his line on the last lap, opening the top side of the track for Mintz who drove to the top side and around Henry for his first win of the year at Fremont. Mintz, a former four time Fremont track champion, earned his 18th career win at “The Track That Action Built” over Henry, Chris Andrews, Bryce Lucius and Trey Jacobs. Jacobs lead the first four laps before sixth starter Henry blasted into the lead, setting up the dramatic last lap pass by fifth starter Mintz to steal the win.

“That’s the benefit of running second every now and then. I think he was better on the top in one and two and he switched his line which helped me get a run. That’s the great thing about not running for points…if I would have stuck it in the fence I wouldn’t have cared,” said Mintz beside his Real Geese Decoys, Modern Woodman of America, Seagate Sandblasting, Brown Family Construction, Linder’s Speed Equipment, Bettsville Legion, DMI Racing, Keizer Wheels backed #09.

Henry, who scored five wins at Fremont in 2024, finishing second for the fifth time this year earned him the track’s division championship. Henry becomes the second driver from California to earn a Fremont Speedway track title, joining Michael “Buddy” Kofoid who claimed the title in 2019.

“I just messed up there. I made the wrong decision. I was running the top the whole race and saw him show a nose. Stupid on my part…I let him make me change what I was doing. I should have let him slide me or do something different there. Big picture….we won the championship and I appreciate the fans for coming out….but damn second sucks,” said Henry.

The Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints also had the fans on their feet. Jimmy McGrath led laps 1-24 but on the last lap his teammate, Dustin Dinan, got a tremendous run on the outside groove. The pair had a drag race coming to the checkers with Dinan squeaking out his ninth career win at Fremont by a mere .008 seconds over McGrath, Dustin Stroup, Brendan Torok and Kasey Ziebold.

“We’ve been working on this thing and making changes the last month and it paid off. It’s been since 2010 since I’ve won here. It’s the last race of the year and just let it all hang out. I can’t thank the McGraths enough for giving me the opportunity to race again. It’s been a lot of fun,” said Dinan beside his McGrath Racing, Rocket Shop, Gill Sawmill, Level Utilities, Level Performance, D2 Excavating backed #5DD.

Fremont, Ohio’s Jamie Miller, despite flipping in the feature, claimed his first ever 305 sprint track title, adding to his 2024 Attica Raceway Park championship and the title of the Attica Fremont Championship Series. He joins his dad, Skip, who won the 305 track championship in 1991. It’s his second overall track title as he claimed the dirt truck championship in 2022.

“We put in a lot of hard work to win all three of these titles this year. I wish we would have had a better championship night but you can’t win them all. We finally figured this place out. As I got older I slowed down a little bit and tried not to wreck and finish the race. We’ve been fast the past couple of years and dad can’t have that championship over me anymore,” said Miller.

In a caution filled 20-lap Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck feature, Fostoria, Ohio’s Shawn Valenti took the lead from Kent Brewer on lap four and held off several challenges from Brewer and Keith Sorg to score his 7th win of the year at Fremont. The victory puts Valenti in a tied atop the track’s all-time win list with Paul Weaver, both having 81 career feature wins. Steve Miller would charge from 15th to second with Sorg, Brewer and Brad Stuckey rounding out the top five.

“I didn’t think that one was ever going to be over. Once we got this new truck out it’s been one of those years where we aren’t looking forward the season be over. Hats off to Ron Miller Race Cars. This thing has been phenomenal since we brought it out. Thanks to all my guys for all their hard work in the shop and at the track,” said Valenti beside his Craig Miller Trucking, Conrad Transportation, Dave Story Equipment, A Plus Auto Center, Concrete Material Supply, S&S Hauling and Excavating backed #7B.

Sorg claimed his third truck championship to go with his 2016 and 2018 titles.

“We built this truck two years ago and we did it for half the money…home built and built by us,” said Sorg.

Fremont Speedway will wrap up the 2024 racing season on Friday, Oct. 11 with the super late models and the dirt trucks/stock cars.

Noah Gass Gains Checkers with POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints at Creek County Speedway

Sapulpa, OK. (9/20/24) Noah Gass would fly to the front of the field past five other competitors with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League in Night One of the T2 Promotions Sooner Showdown presented by Start2Finish TV to notch his inaugural league victory and earn the outstanding twenty-five lap feature victory at Creek County Speedway.

Flying onto the smooth surface with eager entrants of the POWRi 410s would see Sam Hafertepe Jr set a quick qualifying time of 11.755-second lap with Xavier Doney and Noah Gass each earning heat racing victories.

Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Sam Hafertepe Jr and Rees Moran lined up in the front row as Sam Hafertepe Jr would gain the lead on the opening lap with Reese Moran, Xavier Doney, Noah Gass, and Kyle Clark all racing within the early top five.

Overtaking for the top spot in a flurry of fast-paced laps, Rees Moran would gain the lead on the second lap as Xavier Doney battled into the runner-up spot with Noah Gass rapidly gaining on the leading pair of drivers.

Cruising out front with lap traffic quickly coming into play, Rees Moran and Noah Gass put on a dazzling display of on-track driving with Gass flat-footing to the front of the field on lap four around the top side of the track with Moran never really going away from the top spot battle.

Leading the final twenty-one laps through the thick of lap traffic, Noah Gass would not be denied in earning his first career POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed main event with Rees Moran hustling into the runner-up position by only three-tenths of a second after leading a trio of laps.

“I couldn’t get past lap traffic and when Rees showed me his nose, I knew I had to find some grip and go,” said an elated Noah Gass in the Sapulpa Oklahoma victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “This is really sweet to get it done at what I consider a home track. Great team win, we needed this one after Rees got me in the last one, so now we’re even and I may have something for them tomorrow too”.

Challenging closely behind would find leader of lap one Sam Hafertepe Jr placing on the final podium placement with hard-charger Cody Gardner among the frontrunners late after advancing seven spots to finish fourth as Blake Hahn would round out the top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints in Night One of the T2 Promotions Sooner Showdown presented by Start2Finish TV at Creek County Speedway.

"We've drawn terrible all year, she put us on the front and I got Mike VanDusen turning the wrenches tonight,” said Herrick in victory lane. “He gave me an incredible hot rod. I gave him some feedback and he knew what to do to make this thing fast."

The win for Herrick breaks a tie with Mike Kiser for ninth on the all-time CRSA wins list.

The No. 29 and Jerry Sehn Jr. brought the field to green for 25 laps in the Joe's Garage Southern Tier Series finale. Herrick wasted no time clearing the No. 410 with Scott Landers not too far behind.

Herrick approached lapped traffic before the first yellow on lap six for Kirsten Dombroski off the pace.

On the restart, Herrick held serve as Landers and CRSA debutant Mikey Smith battled for second. Herrick opened up a two-second lead before the second yellow before the halfway mark for an accident involving Nathan Pierce and Michael Hart in turn one.

Herrick would not look back as the battle for second heated up in the final laps between Smith, Landers and Tomy Moreau. Herrick took the checkered flag to win his first in a calendar year.

Entering the feature, Herrick was the only driver who had raced at both prior CRSA features at Skyline. Did having more races on the 3/8-mile track become a factor?

“I think it helps,” said Herrick. “The track was a little different. I like the reconfigure with the wiped out backstretch and being able to get on the fence. They gave us a really fun track tonight.”

Mikey Smith made the pass for the runner-up spot with two to go past Landers. In his debut, Smith won his heat race, started fifth and moved up three spots. In a car that was driven by brother Johnny Smith this year, it was a successful night for the driver of the No. 4S.

“The last time I was here was in a micro sprint,” said Smith. “Didn’t know what I was gonna walk into or how fast I was gonna be. We showed we had speed. We’ve been trying to crack the top five everywhere I go. I’m glad we were able to get it done tonight.”

Scott Landers rounded out the podium in third, tying his best finish of the season going back to Weedsport in May.

“It was a good race,” said Landers. “Little eerie about this track coming up here, but it is awesome. Great group of people here and happy to be here to finish third.”

For the Joe's Garage Southern Tier Series championship, Kyle Pierce needed an eighth-place finish or better after heat points to win the championship.

Starting ninth in the feature, Pierce moved up to seventh by lap nine. Just before the halfway point, Pierce took sixth from father Cliff. He would look to grab one more spot from Jerry Sehn Jr., but unofficially, “The Flyin’ School Teacher” scores his second miniseries championship of the year.

“It’s always nice coming back to tracks close to home,” said Pierce. “I grew up racing bullrings, doing this feels more natural than the big momentum tracks. Still a good snack Monday.”

With two races remaining in the overall points chase, Pierce and Tomy Moreau are tied for the lead while Dalton Herrick is 21 behind.

Mikey Smith was named the Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger of the Race, starting fifth and finishing second, gaining three spots.

Under the weather, Blake Warner finished 17th, but it took guts to take the green in the feature, not feeling 100 percent. Warner was given the Maguire Family of Dealerships Magnificent Move of the Race for that.

17 drivers checked into Skyline tonight.

Next week, “The Future Stars of Sprint Cars” conclude their 2024 points season with a doubleheader at Utica-Rome Speedway Friday in the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge and at Land of Legends Raceway Saturday in the DisBatch Brewing Company Challenge.

Jedrzejek steals his 1st 410 sprint win on last corner last lap at Attica; Cap Henry claims 3rd track title

Friday, Sept. 20, 2024

By Brian Liskai

ATTICA, Ohio – A caution flag with just one lap to go in the 410 sprint feature on the last race of the 2024 season at Attica Raceway Park set up a shoot-out. Rookie Kasey Jedrzejek, 19, drove under Cap Henry on the last corner of the last lap to steal his first career division win on Kistler Racing Products/Custom Chrome Plating/Great Lakes Trucks Center/All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads Presents the Mark Keegan Classic Championship Night.

Jedrzejek, who has five 360 sprint wins in 2024, started fifth in the field and trailed early race leader Stuart Brubaker, Leyton Wagner, Chris Andrews, Cap Henry and Trey Jacobs early as only two cautions fell during the 30-lap feature for the Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprints. Henry took second on lap 10 and drove into the lead at the halfway point and appeared headed to victory. Then the caution flew after the white flag had fallen setting up the shoot-out.

On the restart Henry went to the bottom and Jedrzejek took to the cushion and got a tremendous run exiting turn two setting up the move in turn four to get the win over Henry, 11th starter Cale Thomas, Brubaker and 13th starter Kalib Henry.

“I ran the top the whole race….ran it hard and lost brakes about half way. That caution helped me get them back…I had used them up. My helmet shield was flying up every time I entered the corner so I was just praying I didn’t go off the edge. That yellow came out and I really wasn’t sure if I was second or third and I saw I was second on the board and I thought I had a shot. I felt good running the top so I got a good run off of two. I thought Cap would go to the bottom but he went to the middle and I just stuck it in there. I have to thank Ed Neumeister for giving me the opportunity, and Kent, John and Jason have been working hard all year and struggled first half of the year and we’ve turned it around the second half of the year,” said Jedrzejek beside his : Mr. Heater, Heat Star, Cherry’s Outdoor World, Cherry’s Propane, Team Line’m Up, Heitmeyer Concrete, Chalkstix, Elite Wings, Fisher Custom Printing, Ronda Jedrzejek Howard Hanna, DiBaggio Family, Perfection Fabricators, Simpson Race Products, FK Rod End, Sips-N-Such, BEI Supply & Rental, Nagy Coatings, Southgate Lanes backed #11N.

Henry earned his third Attica 410 track championship to go with his 2024 Attica Fremont Championship Series title.

“My guys did a great job all year. We came from behind and it takes a team to make up for that and I’ve got a great one. Zack and Jeff and Chris and Chad and Gary really did a good job all year long,” said Henry who missed the opening night of the season and came back strong for the 2024 title.

After Rusty Schlenk lead the first 10 laps of the 25-lap the Whistle Stop Presents the Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model feature, Ashland, Ohio’s Ryan Markham drove under him to take the top spot and drove to his second win of the year in the non-stop affair. Schlenk, Casey Noonan, Mike Bores and Kyle Moore rounded out the top five. It’s Markham’s 25th career late model win at Attica.

“Rusty and Kyle have pretty much won everything here this year except for Mikey (Bores) and me getting just one. So to beat them is an accomplishment. The car was just really good…it’s been good since I made a bunch of changes to it about two months ago,” said Markham beside his B&B Drain Service, Beer Barrel Drive Thru, After Burner Performance, Chuys Tacos & Margaritas, Monster Motors, Last Mango Soap Company, Backin the Barn Boutique, Ocala Restaurant Supply, Mar Trucking, Schaeffers Racing Oil by Kevin Hill, TGR Performance backed #5M.

Moore earned his first ever Attica late model track title to go with his 2024 Wayne County Speedway championship as well.

“We got 20 wins this year and two track championships. It’s just a great year,” said Moore.

Jimmy McGrath lead the opening three laps of the Fremont Fence 305 sprint feature before Seth Schneider took over. Schneider lead until just five laps to go when 10th starter Dustin Stroup used lap cars to drive into the lead. Jamie Miller closed quickly on Stroup when the caution flew just after the white flag appeared, setting up another one lap shoot-out. Stroup hit his marks perfectly and drove to his third division win of the year at Attica, the eighth of his career at the track and the sixth overall feature win of 2024. Miller, Dustin Dinan, Schneider and Brendan Torok rounded out the top five.

“I was hot when that caution came out. But, I’ve been in that situation before. You just have to keep calm, keep a cool head and don’t over think it. The lines I was running coming up through the field…if I could hit my marks I’ll be fine coming off of turn two. We’ve had an awesome year. I can’t thank everyone enough for all they do….Jamie and Renee, mom and dad, Katie…everybody that’s on this car,” said Stroup beside his Sulfur Town Pub, BSE Welding, Meru Safety, Velocity Print, The Pizza House, Sunrise Designs, Momma Dukes from Shelluke’s Bar and Grill, GCE LLC, Handy Grafix, Mitten Painting, Myers Racing Engines, Rohr Total Lawn Care, Eye Candy Custom Cycles, DJ Johnson & Family, GWH, Advance Auto Parts, BRS, J&J Auto backed #12x.

Miller earned his fifth 305 sprint division Attica title to go with his Attica Fremont Championship Series title for 2024.

“There’s been a lot of guys that have come and gone and I’ve raced with a lot of good guys and learned a lot watching them race and incorporated it into what I do and tried to make myself better. Hopefully we can get the Fremont title tomorrow too,” said Miller.

Attica Raceway Park Promoter John Bores and Director of Operations Justin Liskai thanked all the great fans, race teams, track employees, push truck and wrecker operators and marketing partners for a great 2024 racing season at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” speed facility. Attica will be back in action in March 2025.

RYAN TURNER WINS IN 20TH EDITION OF NORTHERN SPRINT CAR NATIONALS AT OHSWEKEN; BEGOLO TAKES CRATE SPRINT VICTORY

Article Credit: Brent Otchere

OHSWEKEN, Ont. (September 14, 2024) – Nitro 54 Variety, Arrow Express, and Sit’n Bull Tire presented the 20th Running of the Northern Sprint Car Nationals at Ohsweken Speedway on Saturday; Ryan Turner took the $30,000 A-Main win for the 360 Sprint Cars, while Brent Begolo won in the Crate Sprint division.

Northern Sprint Car Nationals 360 Sprint Cars
J.J. Hickle and Cory Turner earned front row starting positions for the 35 lap Northern Sprint Car Nationals 360 Sprint Car A-Main. Hickle had a dream start to the race, quickly catching the back of the 30 car field by lap six. Cory Turner became the new leader on lap eleven after chasing Hickle down. Turner’s lead was short-lived though, as Aaron Turkey spun and brought out the caution flag. Josh Hansen claimed the lead on the restart, becoming the third leader of the race, while Hickle began to fade through the field.

2024 Ohsweken track champion Dylan Westbrook started in the tenth row, but began to make his presence known as he raced himself into fifth place with ten laps to go. Two-time Nationals champion Ryan Turner also moved steadily forward from a row seven start and eventually passed Hansen for the lead on lap 27.

Anyone who saved their tires turned up the wick in the closing laps, however this hard racing resulted in contact between Jason Barney and Westbrook who were both inside the top five at the time. The damage led to Westbrook crashing hard into the inside wall in turn one and flipping, bringing out the red flag. Both drivers were unharmed in the accident.

The restart set up a three lap dash to the finish, and saw Ryan Turner stay up front to win his third Northern Sprint Car Nationals and the $30,000 grand prize. Nick Sheridan pushed hard, but had to settle for a runner-up finish after running out of fuel. Hansen took the final podium spot, followed by 2023 Nationals winner Mike Bowman in fourth, and Cory Turner in fifth. Jordan Poirier took the Hard Charger award after coming from the B-Main to finish sixth in the A-Main, while Joe Trenca, Liam Martin, Matt Billings, and Darren Dryden claimed top ten finishes.

Strickland’s Crate Sprint Cars
Brian Nanticoke and Keegan Baker brought the field to the green flag for the 20 lap Crate Sprint Car A-Main. Baker made quick work of Nanticoke, taking the lead of the race by the end of the first lap.

Baker had to hold off the field of stout drivers on several restarts as multiple caution flags fell during the race. He successfully kept the pressure under control all the way up to four laps left to go when traffic began to play a role.

Northern Crate Nationals champion Brent Begolo bided his time behind Baker, applying tremendous pressure on the young racer. Baker suffered a punctured left rear tire after contact while negotiating traffic, allowing Begolo to snatch the lead with just two laps left to go.

Begolo went on to claim another victory in his rookie season, quickly becoming an impressive driver in the Crate Sprint division. 2024 track champion Brett Stratford finished in second, with New York racer Josh Verne Jr finding the final podium position. Mack DeMan finished in fourth, while Lucas Smith rounded out the top five.

Tony Gomes races to Coors Light Big Trophy Night win/ Andy Forsberg claims 10th Placerville title

By Gary Thomas

Placerville, CA…Modesto’s Tony Gomes tallied his second Thompson’s Winged Sprint Car win of the season on Saturday at Placerville Speedway, while Auburn’s Andy Forsberg secured his 10th career track championship.

Fellow winners on Coors Light Big Trophy Championship Night included Ray Trimble with the Mountain Democrat Late Models, Nick Baldwin with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Austin Struthers with the Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks.

Martinez driver Anthony Slaney locked up the Late Model title, with Baldwin earning his sixth Pure Stock championship. Mike Miller also claimed his third Mini Truck title on Saturday.

The 25-lap Sprint Car feature began with Jodie Robinson, Andy Forsberg and Tony Gomes battling up front. Multiple different leaders were seen in the main event, with Forsberg up front until Robinson drove by early on.

Several cautions plagued the contest over the first five laps, but in between them the action continued to be hot and heavy. Restarts made things interesting, and Gomes soon found his groove, getting into second on lap nine. He then made the move by Robinson on lap 10 and looked to pull away from the pack.

Placerville’s Shane Hopkins was also on the charge from his 12th starting spot. Hopkins ran the bottom side to perfection and grabbed second on lap 16. Lapped traffic late in the going made things hectic for Gomes, which allowed Hopkins to close the gap.

Gomes hit his marks however and crossed under the Ron Stahl checkered flag for victory over Hopkins, Robinson, Bubba Decaires and Jake Andreotti in the top-five. Forsberg crossed the stripe in sixth and it was good enough to wrap up championship 10 at Placerville. Decaires finished second, just seven markers back, while Gomes missed out on the title by only nine points.

Ray Trimble started from the front row in the Mountain Democrat Late Model feature and led every step of the way en route to victory. Dan Brown Jr. came home in second, followed by Matt Micheli, Rod Oliver and Tyler Lightfoot.

Anthony Slaney had battled his way towards the front at one point until getting crossed up while making a bid for the lead and ended up eighth. He finished up with five wins this season en route to the title.

With the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks, it was Sacramento’s Jason Poppert leading the way early on. Poppert has shown immense speed this season and looked to park it in victory lane on Big Trophy Night.

Nick Baldwin hounded Poppert though and on lap 10 made a beautiful outside move to grab the point. Baldwin led the remainder for his seventh win of the year to lock up the title. Poppert, Ryan Peter, Tyler Lightfoot and Kevin Jinkerson rounded out the top-five.

The final Mountain Democrat Mini Truck race of 2024 was all about Austin Struthers, who picked up his first win of the season. Paige Miller, Luke Costa, Paizlee Miller and Bobby Clark completed the top-five.

Mike Miller battled towards the front until encountering issues that left him with a seventh-place result. It was still good enough to win his third track title.

CHARTRAND ENDS LONG WINLESS DROUGHT, WINS FIRST CAREER CRSA FEATURE

Race Report By: Marty Czekala – September 15, 2024

WOODHULL, N.Y. – 13 years ago to the weekend, Tyler Chartrand debuted at Woodhull Raceway in a 305 sprint car.

It had been 14 years since he last found victory lane in a different car/series, until Sept. 14, 2024.

Chartrand took the lead on lap six from Nathan Pierce and did not look back for his first career CRSA victory in the final race of the Dandy Triple Play.

The win makes Chartrand the 82nd different winner in CRSA action and the fifth first-time winner this season, joining Matt Rotz, Dillon Paddock, Adam DePuy and Dan Craun.

“I’m gonna celebrate this for a month,” said a happy Chartrand in victory lane. “This is the biggest win of my career. This is absolutely amazing.”

It’s been a season in which the driver of the No. 12 has had bad luck. From good finishes to good finishes turned upside down in the final laps, with two top-5s and a trio of finishes outside the top 10, all the bad luck doesn’t represent the season.

“It shows several years of my crew putting my best foot forward behind us,” Chartrand said. “This X-1 chassis came to life tonight.”

Nathan Pierce and Tyler Chartrand brought the field to green for the 25-lap feature. Pierce led the opening five laps until Chartrand looked low for the lead in turn four to gather enough bite and lead.

Pierce stayed on the tail tank of Chartrand, with the biggest gap of a second. While the driver of the No. 10 kept fighting, another driver was looking for the runner-up spot.

On a track mostly set for the bottom, Dillon Paddock tested the top all night and almost found his way past Nathan, but he fell two tenths short.

In a race plagued with six yellows, Paddock, Pierce and Tyler Graves were close to the leader in the final eight laps. In the end, Chartrand took the win by 0.7 seconds.

“I was hoping we could end the race soon,” said Chartrand. “We ran those first 7-8 laps caution-free and made the move on Nathan. Every lap it was about driving the thing as hard as I could. We made the right adjustments and get the right laps in.”

Chartrand bettered a second place finish he scored May 18, 2014 at Glen Ridge Motorsports Park.

Despite falling a spot short, Nathan Pierce recorded a career-high second at Woodhull, besting a third at Genesee in Sep. 2023. After a Friday night at Penn Can he wanted to forget, Pierce made setup changes that greatly improved.

“We regrouped,” Pierce said. “My dad threw some stuff at it and it didn’t work too bad. Sometimes stuff works out, sometimes it doesn’t.

As for Dillon Paddock, it was his second podium of the season and first since winning at Land of Legends Raceway July 4. Paddock looked for traction in lines where his adversaries weren’t going, but it didn't work in the end.

“I always do better when I have a little more wing speed and keep the momentum up,” said Paddock. “Can’t really follow these guys. Have to go where they’re not and I was trying everything to pass cars.”

A big shake-up with the overall points standings as points leader Tomy Moreau spun with nine laps to go after hitting a yuke tire into turn four, fading back to 15th in the end. What was an 18-point lead for Moreau has turned into Kyle Pierce taking the points lead by six as he finished sixth with three races remaining.

Kyle Pierce also took home the Dandy Triple Play championship by one point on Dalton Herrick.

Tyler Graves was awarded the Maguire Family of Dealerships Magnificent Move of the Race for his move on Dalton Herrick to finish fourth.

Adam DePuy was tonight’s Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger, starting 16th and finishing eighth.

22 drivers checked into Woodhull Raceway.

CRSA will now turn its attention to Skyline Raceway Motorsports Park Friday for the Joe's Garage Southern Tier Series finale.

Bubak and Doney the big winners as 14th annual Hockett-McMillin Memorial concludes at Lucas Oil Speedway

WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 14, 2024) - A pair of first-time champions celebrated feature victories Saturday night at the 14th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway.

Jake Bubak emerged from an early three-car battle, wound up leading 24 of 25 laps and held off a late charge from Scott Bogucki to capture the POWRi 410 Sprint feature. Meanwhile, Xavier Doney made the leap from race runner-up a year ago into victory lane in the POWRi WAR Sprint division.

"This is really special," Bubak said. "The Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial is a big one, probably the biggest memorial race in sprint cars."

The Hockett-McMillin Memorial pays tribute to the legacy of Jesse Hockett of Warsaw, Mo., who was a star in both the winged and non-wing sprint divisions when he lost his life in a shop accident in 2010. His cousin and crew chief, Daniel McMillin, was killed in an automobile accident in 2006.

Bubak, of Arvada, Colo., scored his fifth career POWRi 410 feature victory and his first Hockett-Memorial trophy - plus a check for $10,000. He also was the winner in Friday night's preliminary feature, which was worth $3,000.

Bubak started on the pole and led the opening laps with Ayrton Gennetten close behind as Aaron Reutzel ran third. Reutzel advanced into second on lap six before Gennetten regained the spot the next time around.

With the top three separated by less than a half-second, Reutzel grabbed the lead on lap nine with an outside pass out of turn four, but Bubak took it back a lap later just before the race’s first caution came out.

"That was pretty fun racing with Ayrton and Aaron," Bubak said. "I appreciate Aaron giving me a lane there. He raced me really clean. That was really cool and a lof of fun."

Bubak took off after the restart and needed just two laps to open a 1.8-second advantage over Gennetten with Reutzel third and in Bogucki fourth. Bubak continued to expand his cushion and it was 2.5 seconds by lap 20.

"That restart was good timing," Bubak said. "I guess (Reutzel) didn't beat me to the line, so I got to be the leader and choose where I wanted. We restarted and he just showed me I had to run a little harder in (turns) three and four. I started to run really hard up there and the car got better."

The aggressive driving paid off as Bubak was able to build a sizeable lead with the laps winding down.

"I think I was just being too conservative knowing this place is so hard on tires and I definitely killed these tires ... but I was gonna go for it," Bubak said. "I just ran as hard as I could up there."

Bogucki, of Mclaren Vale, South Australia, was on the move and roared into second by lap 21, but was still nearly two seconds behind Bubak with time running out. I turned out that Bogucki needed another lap or two.

Bubak was able to hold off the hard-charging Bogucki, winning by .693 seconds at the checkers as fireworks exploded over the infield.

“We were a little snug around the top side," Bogucki said. "Ayrton and Aaron could get up there and free up and Jake as well. I just committed to the bottom and I think I made one and two wider and it was making my entry easier.

"As long as I was running them down, I wasn't moving. It's great to be here. A great place, great facility and always a good time."

Reutzel wound up third with Thursday-night preliminary feature winner Gennetten fourth and Joe B. Miller fifth.

Doney prevails for POWRi WAR victory: One year after finishing as the runner-up and with some other near-misses in this race, Xavier Doney of Odessa, Mo., was able to get it done in the wingless portion of the Hockett-McMillin Memorial.

Doney took over the lead with 10 laps remaining and held off Jesse Vermillion of Greencastle, Ind., in a three-lap shootout after a late-race restart, to earn the $4,077 victory.

“I'll be waking up (Sunday) and pinching myself, making sure this isn't a dream," the 18-year-old Doney said after his seventh win of the season - but undoubtedly the biggest of his young sprint-car career.

"It really feels amazing," Doney added. "I guess the fifth time is the charm. It's the fifth race here and finally winning the Hockett, one of the biggest races in Missouri every year. It's a really special one to win."

One of a handful of drivers pulling double duty, Doney finished eighth in the 410 feature.

In the WAR division, he was the third and final leader of the 25-lapper that saw several contenders suffer misfortune.

Chase Howard, starting on the outside of row one, grabbed the early lead. Howard already had a three-second lead over defending race winner Ricky Lewis when a red flag stopped the action on lap two as former Hockett-McMillin race winner Wesley Smith jumped the cushion and rolled his car in turn three and Anthony Nicholson had a rollover in turn two.

A strong restart by Howard kept him in the lead, but trouble struck on lap six as Howard’s motor went up in flames entering turn one. Kobe Simpson, a half-second behind Howard at that point, inherited the lead with Lewis third and Doney fourth.

The third-starting Simpson got away after the restart to open a nearly one-second lead over Lewis by lap 10. Doney moved around Lewis on the low side of turn four and into second on lap 12 and began to pursue Simpson.

Just three laps later, the sixth-starting Doney took over the top spot with an inside pass off turn two. Doney said the low groove is one he patiently waited to make work to his advantage.

"I kind of scouted (the bottom) out during hot laps," Doney said. "Pretty much everywhere was quick in hot laps, except the bottom because the grease was there. I knew it would come in during this race and I stuck to the bottom and managed to get by the guys who were throwing slide jobs."

Vermillion, who started 17th, moved into second on a lap-17 restart and Doney fought him off for the lead over the next several laps. Doney’s lead was .375 seconds over Vermillion when a caution flew on lap 22 as eighth-place Riley Kreisel spun in turn two.

That set up a three-lap shootout for the win. Before the field could complete a lap, Lewis took a wild flip between turns one and two. Lewis, who had charged back into the top 10 after changing the flat tire earlier, walked away from the wild ride which ended his chance for a repeat.

Doney was able to take it home from there as he beat Vermillion by .554 seconds at the finish. Simpson was third with Shawn Westerfield fourth and Kyle Shipley in fifth.

"We had the car set-up this time," Vermillion said. "I made up a lot of spots. You have to start top 10 to win these usually and I actually had a shot. I knew (Doney) would have to make a mistake off the bottom for me to get there.

"I screwed up on the last restart and he got me a little bit. That kind of sealed the deal."

Xavier Doney Drives to Championship Night Win with POWRi WAR in Hockett/McMillin Memorial

Wheatland, MO. (9/14/24) Xavier Doney would seem to find another gear of speed mid-point in the Championship Night feature event of the Fourteenth Annual Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway with the POWRi Wingless Auto Racing Sprint League to drive away and capture his seventh career feature victory wrapping up the premier weekend racing event.

Racing onto the quick surface of Lucas Oil Speedway, POWRi WAR would find forty-one talented traditional sprinters witnessing Mario Clouser set the quickest hot-lap time of 15.286-second lap as Jack Wagner and Mario Clouser each earned semi-feature victories.

Kick-starting the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Ricky Lewis and Chase Howard lined up in the front row, Chase Howard would gain the lead on the opening lap with Ricky Lewis, Riley Kreisel, Kobe Simpson, and Matt Sherrell all blasting into the top five running spots.

Leading the first six laps, Chase Howard would appear to be in repeating form from the night before until his engine would expire on lap seven taking the fast-running leader Howard from competitions and relegating the lead to Kobe Simpson after the field bunching restart.

Cruising out front, Kobe Simpson would keep the challengers at bay as Xavier Doney, Riley Kreisel, Jesse Vermillion, Shawn Westerfeld, and Mario Clouser all started battling behind the leader for the runner-up position.

Blasting to the top spot with an excellent lap fourteen run, Xavier Doney would overtake Kobe Simpson to the line as the laps began to click away rapidly with the leader setting sail in the final stages of the traditional main event.

Gliding out front on the final eleven laps, Xavier Doney would emerge victorious with the POWRi WAR Sprint League at Lucas Oil Speedway to notch his third yearly league victory and perhaps the biggest of his career. Staying in the hunt after blazing a trail through the field, Jesse Vermillion would finish runner-up as leader of nine laps Kobe Simpson completed the final podium placements.

“I was waiting for the lines to come in in the feature, with everyone being so fast out here and throwing sliders, I just stuck to the bottom and ran my line,” said victorious Xavier Doney in the Wheatland Missouri victory lane celebrations. Adding, “It really feels amazing to be here and win such a special event, to be honest, I’ll be waking up tomorrow pinching myself to make sure it’s not a dream.”

Challenging closely behind would find Shawn Westerfeld finish fourth as event hard-charger Kyle Shipley rounded out the top-five finishers for the POWRi WAR at Lucas Oil Speedway on Championship Night of the Hockett/McMillin Memorial.

Jake Bubak Jockeys to Championship Night Checkers with POWRi 410 Sprints in Hockett/McMillin

Wheatland, MO. (9/14/24) Jake Bubak would lead twenty-four of twenty-five laps in spectacular fashion with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint in Championship Night of the 14th Annual Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial to notch his second season league victory and land the $10,000 payday in a phenomenal feature event for the ages at Lucas Oil Speedway.

Flying onto the smooth surface with thirty-two talented entrants of the POWRi 410’s would see Brian Bell set a quick hot lap time of 13.33-second lap with Miles Paulus and Chase Randall each earning last-chance qualifier victories.

Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Jake Bubak and Ayrton Gennetten lined up in the front row as Jake Bubak would gain the lead on the opening lap with Ayrton Gennetten, Aaron Reutzel, Joe B Miller, and Noah Gass all raced within the early contending top five.

Throwing sliders and crossovers on both sides of the finely prepared racing surface at Lucas Oil Speedway would see Jake Bubak continually protecting the lead from a low-running Ayrton Gennetten and an extremely high-line running Aaron Reutzel as neither of the three top contenders would shy away from the battle.

Overtaking for the top spot for a single lap, Aaron Reutzel would see Jake Bubak ounce back to the top spot in a flurry of action-packed laps with Ayrton Gennetten continually staying close to the front-running pair as Joe B Miller, Miles Paulus, Chase Randall, Scott Bogucki, Noah Gass, Xavier Doney, and Kyle Jones kept within the top ten contestants.

Keeping the throttle mashed after a mid-race restart while relentlessly speeding away from the field Jake Bubak would not be denied in earning his third career POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed main event with Scott Bogucki hustling into the runner-up position late while attempting to catch the speedy Bubak.

“That was really a lot of fun racing with Aaron and Ayrton early, that restart was the key with the top being so quick tonight,” said Jake Bubak in the Wheatland Missouri victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “I started the race being conservative with my tires but with those two driving that hard I knew it was time to go and run harder”.

Challenging closely behind would find Aaron Reutzel placing on the final podium placement from the starting fourth on the initial green flag as Ayrton Gennetten would be among the frontrunners all feature to fourth with Joe B Miller rounding out the top five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints Championship Night of the Fourteenth Annual Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway.

Cap Henry earns richest win in history of Fremont Speedway

By Brian Liskai

FREMONT, Ohio – Cap Henry wrote his name in the Fremont Speedway record books Saturday, Sept. 14, winning the 17th Annual Jim Ford Classic on All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Gill Construction Night. Henry’s third win of the season at “The Track That Action Built” was worth $20,000. He also added another $10,000 in bonus money by leading all 40-laps.

Henry, the track’s 2023 Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint track champion, won his eighth total feature of 2024 and his 21st career win at the track. Winning the Jim Ford Classic adds to his incredible list of accomplishments in 2024 including taking the Ohio Sprint Speedweek title and the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series title.

“I knew I had to get a good jump at the start. Kalib (Henry) has been so good here this year. Zack and Chad and Chris and Jeff and Gary have worked their tails off all year and gave me a perfect car tonight. I was able to maneuver in traffic. Gary Griff built this engine for us to run Eldora and Knoxville….it’s a damn good engine. We’ve run second in this race so many times and to finally get a Jim Ford Classic win is very special,” said Henry beside his Premier Planning Service, Jeff Ward Demolition, Ohio Logistics, Primal Tee Shop, Elliott’s Custom Trailers and Carts, FK Rod Ends, Griff’s Engines backed #33W.

For Kalib Henry second was a disappointment after having won both features at Fremont the previous evening.

“We were really good but Cap was just better tonight. Second sucks….I really wanted that race, but it was a good weekend and we will give it a shot next Saturday to wrap up the track championship. Thanks to Doc and Rebecca and all the guys who make this possible,” said Henry.

Craig Mintz rallied from a crash the previous evening to finish third with Trey Jacobs and Stuart Brubaker rounding out the top five. Cale Thomas charged from 20th starting position to a sixth place run while Darin Naida, TJ Michael (from 15th), Zane DeVault (from 14th) and Larry Kingseed rounding out the top 10.

The Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints competed in two 20-lap features. In the first current Fremont division point leader Jamie Miller took the lead from Seth Schneider on lap six and drove to his fourth win of the season at Fremont over Dustin Stroup, Dustin Dinan, Jimmy McGrath and Logan Riehl.

The win is Miller’s 10th overall win of 2024 in 305 sprint car competition to go with three dirt truck wins and a non-wing sprint car victory. It was also Miller’s 52nd career win at Fremont.

“Thank God for that caution (lap 15). Stroupy sailed it in there between me and a lapped car and got in front but the yellow came out. With no traffic to deal with the car was just really good,” said Miller beside his Boca Construction, JLH General Contractors, Kenny Kolb Farms, Tuck Pointing America, Queen of Clean, Smitty’s Pizza, Roberts & Sons Contracting, Pizza Wheel, Crown Battery, Reedtown Tavern, Fostoria Mod Shop, Sandy’s Dad, Gressman Powersports, Phil Rister, Slade Shock Technology backed #26.

In the second 305 feature Jimmy McGrath jumped into the early lead with Stroup taking the lead on lap three only to see McGrath drive back by a lap later with Stroup retaking the lead on lap five. Stroup continued to lead with a few cautions keep McGrath close. A caution with five laps to go gave McGrath a chance and he put the wing back and went after Stroup. The pair sliced and diced back and forth with Stroup continually holding the point at the flag stand.

Stroup was able to hold off McGrath’s challenges to take his third win of the year at Fremont. It was his fifth overall victory of 2024 and his 12 career win at the track. McGrath, Dinan, Riehl and TJ Michael rounded out the top five.

“I made the car very wide those last five laps. Jimmy raced me hard and clean. I can’t thank Renee and Jamie enough for giving me the opportunity to drive this car and all the sponsors we couldn’t do this without them,” said Stroup beside his Sulfur Town Pub, BSE Welding, Meru Safety, Velocity Print, The Pizza House, Sunrise Designs, Momma Dukes from Shelluke’s Bar and Grill, GCE LLC, Handy Grafix, Mitten Painting, Myers Racing Engines, Rohr Total Lawn Care, Eye Candy Custom Cycles, DJ Johnson & Family, GWH, Advance Auto Parts, BRS, J&J Auto backed #12x.

Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, Sept. 21 for season championship night with the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprints, Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints and Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks in action.

VANINWEGEN CROWNED KING OF THE CAN FOR SECOND TIME

Race Report By: Marty Czekala – September 14, 2024

SUSQUEHANNA, Pa. – All hail King Billy V.

Billy VanInwegen took the lead early and didn’t look back to record his first win of the 2024 season after three runner-ups to begin the year.

The win extends his points lead in the Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series over Kyle Pierce and Dalton Herrick. It is also the seventh of his CRSA career.

“What a racecar,” said VanInwegen. “Tip of the hat to Mike VanDusen [car owner] for turning the motor around. We’ve been second so many times and got this thing to take off on starts and it ripped.”

Defending series champion Jordan Hutton and 2022 King of the Can winner VanInwegen made up the front row. Hutton would throw a slidejob at the drop of Tyler Groescup’s green flag. Still, VanInwegen would counter back to lead the opening lap.

“Billy V” would open the lead up on Hutton as big as 3.2 seconds before the race’s first yellow for Ed Kelley’s spin in turn four.

On the restart, VanInwegen held serve, but 2021 King of the Can Kevin Nagy moved up to the runner-up past Hutton. VanInwegen continued to increase the lead until 10 to go when the No. 56V was in heavy lapped traffic, allowing Nagy to cut the gap down to as little as a car length.

“Absolutely brutal,” VanInwegen said on lapped traffic. “I kept showing myself and those guys showed their nose even harder. I figured someone would be coming. That last caution I didn’t expect but gave me a chance to reset and get back to work.”

VanInwegen opened the gap a little by using some backmarkers as picks. Then, with two to go, Thomas Radivoy spun, setting up a green-white-checkered finish.

The finish would be no issue for VanInwegen as he led every lap to be crowned King, sit on the Golden Can and take home the lion’s share of $1500.

“Lot of fun to still come out and race with Mike [VanDusen],” said VanInwegen. “He talked me into it and it’s so much fun to race with him.”

In his first CRSA race since Oct. 2021, Kevin Nagy came home one spot short and wasn’t too sure if he wanted the final caution or not to get one last shot at VanInwegen.

"Traffic was tough to get through," said Nagy. "You never know what could happen. I would probably say no. I might’ve been better in traffic.”

After two straight DNFs, Hutton piloted his No. 66 to a third-place finish, the fifth top-five of the season for "J-Hutt."

"We learned a lot and tried a new rim tonight, but didn't work," Hutton said. "The biggest positive is if you want to go backward from one to third, it's gonna be to those two guys you want it to be.”

Approaching the night, Tomy Moreau led Kyle Pierce in overall points by 31. Unofficially, Pierce’s fourth-place run to Moreau's ninth-place run trimmed the lead to 17.

VanInwegen came in with a narrow three-point lead for the Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series championship on Pierce. Unofficially, the lead increases to 12 points on the driver of the No. 9K, but a handful of drivers will contend for the miniseries title next Friday.

For an incredible final restart to finish fourth in the end, Kyle Pierce was awarded the Maguire Family of Dealerships Magnificent Move of the Race.

Zach Sobotka was the Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger of the Race, gaining nine spots and finishing 11th.

27 drivers checked in Susquehanna tonight.

CRSA travels to Woodhull Raceway tomorrow to conclude the Dandy Triple Play, in which 24 drivers are mathematically eligible for the miniseries championship.

Bubak and Howard pick up Night 2 Hockett-McMillin Memorial feature victories at Lucas Oil Speedway

WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 13, 2024) - Night 2 of the 14th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial saw Jake Bubak and Chase Howard both score come-from-behind feature victories at Lucas Oil Speedway.

Bubak, of Arvado, Colo., chased down race-long leader Jace Park with two laps remaining to score a thrilling win in the POWRi 410 Sprints. Earlier, Howard took command just past the midpoint and went on to grab the POWRi WAR feature for non-winged sprints.

Drivers used the action on Thursday and Friday nights to accumulate points for Saturday night's championship round. The POWRi 410 winged feature winner will collect $10,000 with the WAR drivers chasing a $3,077 prize.

The Hockett-McMillin Memorial pays tribute to the legacy of Jesse Hockett, who was a star in both the winged and non-wing sprint divisions when he lost his life in a shop accident in 2010. His cousin and crew chief, Daniel McMillin, was killed in an automobile accident in 2006.

If the 410 winged feature on Friday is any indication, the final night ought to be a classic. Park, of Overland Park, Kan., appeared to be a lopsided winner as he built a big lead with only a handful of laps remaining.

But Bubak, who started sixth, came charging to steal the $3,000 win. His winning pass after a lap 23 restart and just after a previous pass for the lead was wiped out as a caution flew before the lap was completed.

"That was a bummer," Bubak said of having to go back to second and do it all over again. "But I kind of found the top there right before the yellow and knew it was there, so I just committed to it.

"I'm happy to be in victory lane. I really wanted to win that one. We're happy to be here and I love this track and this facility."

Park was the driver to beat most of the way. He out-sprinted fellow front-row starter Chase Randall for the lead at the start and those two stayed nose-to-tail through eight laps. They were staging a tremendous battle for the lead on lap nine, but as Randall was trying to complete the pass he drifted too high, got into the cushion and flipped his car in turn four.

Park quickly opened a 1.7-second lead after the restart over Noah Gass with Bubak lurking in third. But Park kept pouring it on, extending the gap to 3.2 seconds by lap 17, as Bubak got around Gass for the runner-up spot.

Bubak started to immediately cut into Park’s margin, pulling within .668 seconds with four circuits remaining as the two battled each other and lapped traffic. Bubak made the pass the next time around on the backstretch, but the caution came out for a spinning car in turn four.

With scoring reverting to the last completed lap, Park was scored the leader over Bubak with Gass in third for a final restart. Bubak made the winning move on the outside heading down the backstretch on lap 24.

"It was big," he said of the momentum preceding his winning pass. "I had it the lap before and he opened his entry up enough that I had to hit the brakes and try it again the next lap."

Bubak held on from there to beat Park by .847 seconds.

“I knew after that restart that Jake had something going for him when he showed his nose," Park said. "I kind of got saved by the bell when that caution came out."

Gass wound up third with Joe B. Miller fourth and Scott Bogucki fifth.

Howard roars to POWRi WAR win: Chase Howard roared to the lead after a restart on lap 14 and rolled from there, capturing his second career POWRi WAR victory as he beat Kobe Simpson.

Howard, a 20-year-old from Nesbit, Mississippi., scored his sixth overall victory of the season and second in the POWRi WAR Sprints. He earned $2,000 for the victory and set himself up for a prime starting spot for Saturday's feature.

"I didn't think I was gonna catch Kobe for a minute, but he chose the outside and the bottom came in," Howard said of the key restart. "I just got lucky, because I sure don't have the motor to be competing on this track."

It didn't take long for Howard, who started 10th, to make his way into contention in a race that was filled with cautions the first half of the way.

Xavier Doney got the good start from his outside front-row starting spot and took the early lead, a half-second in front of Simpson when the caution flew on lap five. Simpson used the restart to shoot to the lead on lap six with Howard second and Doney shuffled to third before another caution waved.

After they rolled to green again, Simpson had a .603-second advantage over Howard when the event’s third caution came out on lap 10. Simpson again opted to restart on the outside, which had been the fast line for him, but the start was negated with a red flag for a five-car accident on the backstretch.

Simpson opened a race-high one-second lead by lap 13 when another red came out as Keith Martin’s car took a wild tumble between turns one and two. He emerged from the damaged car unhurt.

This time on the restart, Howard got a great jump and squeezed past Simpson on the inside out of turn four to grab the lead on lap 14.

"He was running a really good line the entire time," Howard said. "If he had picked the bottom, he could have probably blocked it. But that's how the choose cone works."

Howard was able to extend his lead to 1.2 seconds by lap 20 as the race finally settled into a rhythm after the five previous stoppages. Howard drove away to beat Simpson by 1.9 seconds at the finish.

"He kind of outsmarted and all-around got me on that last restart," Simpson said. "But all-around it was a good night. I could have done a few things better throughout the race, but I'll take this down as a good run."

Doney settled for third with Shawn Westerfield fourth and Mario Clouser finishing fifth.

Chase Howard Captures Night Two Victory with POWRi WAR in Hockett/McMillin Memorial

Wheatland, MO. (9/13/24) Chase Howard would capitalize on late-race cautions after starting tenth to take checkers on the second night of the Fourteenth Annual Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway with the POWRi Wingless Auto Racing Sprint League to notch his second career feature victory kicking off the premier weekend racing event.

Racing onto the quick surface of Lucas Oil Speedway, POWRi WAR would find talented traditional sprinters witnessing Kobe Simpson set the quickest hot-lap time of 15.325-second lap as Jesse Vermillion, Samuel Wagner, and Kobe Simpson each earned heat racing victories.

Kick-starting the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Kobe Simpson and Xavier Doney lined up in the front row with Xavier Doney gaining the early lead on the opening four laps with Kobe Simpson putting up a valiant effort for the top spot.

Overtaking for the preferred first position, Kobe Simpson would lead the next nine revolutions around a finely tuned Lucas Oil Speedway as cautions would hinder any long green flag battles until around the mid-point when the action went into double-time as Chase Howard started jockeying into striking distance.

Battling to the point of the field, Chase Howard would not be denied in leading the final thirteen laps to emerge victorious with the POWRi WAR Sprint League at Lucas Oil Speedway to notch his second yearly league victory. Staying in the hunt Kobe Simpson would finish runner-up as Xavier Doney completed the final podium placements.

“That choose cone definitely helped me tonight on the restarts and the door was left open so I had to take my shot,” said victorious a celebratory Chase Howard in the Wheatland Missouri victory lane celebrations. Adding, “Kobe raced a great race and if he would have picked the bottom on that final restart he may have been able to block my momentum for the pass.”

Challenging closely behind would find Shawn Westerfeld finish fourth as Mario Clouser rounded out the top five finishers for the POWRi WAR at Lucas Oil Speedway on Night Two of the Hockett/McMillin Memorial.

Jake Bubak Battles to Late-Race Win in Night Two JHDMM with POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints

Wheatland, MO. (9/13/24) Jake Bubak would ride the high line of Lucas Oil Speedway to pay the Night Two payday with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint in the 14th Annual Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial to notch his second league victory after only leading two of the twenty-five laps in an outstanding feature event.

Flying onto the smooth surface with thirty talented entrants of the POWRi 410s would see Jace Park set a quick qualifying time of 13.289-second lap with Chris Martin, Noah Gass, Kyle Jones, and Chase Randall each earning heat racing victories.

Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Chase Randall and Jace Park lined up in the front row as Jace Park would gain the lead on the opening lap with Chase Randall staying in close pursuit.

Sliding for the lead in early action would find Chase Randall jumping the cushion out of turn four and going for a wild ride into the front-stretch wall as the driver would be okay yet unable to continue the race with Jace Park maintaining the top spot.

Firing back off out front, Jace Park would amass over a three-second margin of lead with Noah Gass and Jake Bubak battling behind as Joe B Miller and Kyle Jones stayed within the contending top five.

With lap traffic quickly coming into play the leading Jace Park would be unable to maneuver past the back of the field pack as Jake Bubak rapidly cut the lead as the final few laps started to wind down with caution bunching the field back together with only a trio of revolutions left in the feature event.

Overtaking for the top spot with only a pair of laps remaining, Jake Bubak would not be denied in earning his second career POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed main event with the leader of twenty-three laps Jace Park settling into the runner-up position as the final checkers waved.

“We didn’t struggle for power tonight that’s for sure,” said an elated Jake Bubak in the Wheatland Missouri victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “I was able to find the speed on the top right before the yellow came out, so on the restart, I just stuck it up there and rode the monster drive on the high side”.

Challenging closely behind would find Noah Gass placing on the final podium placement with nineth-starting Joe B Miller staying among the frontrunners all feature to finish fourth as eleventh-starting Scott Bogucki would round out the top five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints Night Two of the Fourteenth Annual Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway.

Kalib Henry sweeps opening night of Jim Ford Classic at Fremont

Saturday, Sept. 14, 2024

By Brian Liskai

FREMONT, Ohio – Kalib Henry was unstoppable at Fremont Speedway presented by Gill Construction Friday, Sept. 13. The Sacramento, Calif. Driver started the 17th Annual Jim Ford Classic weekend out by winning the June Ohio Sprint Speedweek $10,000 feature that had been halted due to rain with 32 laps remaining. He followed up by claiming the regular Ti-22 Performance FAST On Dirt feature on Kistler Engines Night.

In the make-up feature Henry took the lead from Tim Shaffer on lap 25, survived contact with a lapped car with just two laps to go to earn the win over Cale Thomas, Shaffer, Cap Henry and Zeth Sabo. It was his fourth win of the year at “The Track That Action Built.”

“That’s two weeks in a row I had to kind of get aggressive with a lapper. Really did not mean to do that but when you’re racing for the win and the lapped cars are there…he was kind of all over the place and I needed to get by him. I knew it was going to be a demanding race track. I just needed to hit my marks and wait for a mistake and get a run. Kevin (Osmolski, crew chief) gave me a bad ass race car. Thank you Doc and Rebecca for everything,” said Henry beside his Running Boxer Farms, Harris Distributing Company, Valvoline, Triple J Towing, K1, Berryman Racing Shocks, Chalkstix backed #101.

In the night’s regular 30-lap feature Henry jumped into the lead at the drop of the green from his outside front row starting spot. He built a sizeable lead until Chris Andrews moved into second on lap five and began closing. Andrews stayed right with Henry and actually drove to his inside on a couple of restarts following cautions. But, Henry was just to smooth and drove to his fifth win of the year at Fremont and the night’s sweep. Andrews, Cap Henry, Thomas and Shaffer rounded out the top five.

“Hats off to the track crew….they gave us a hell of a track all night. I love these big curbs especially when there’s two lanes and you can race hard on it. That was a lot of fun. Last week Cap was on the front row and you can’t spot a guy that good that spot. I started on the front row next to him and I just needed to get out front and I knew we had a chance. Kevin has given me such a great race car and I’m excited for tomorrow. This is a race we circled on our calendar heavily all year,” said Henry.

The Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks ran double features. In the first Kent Brewer drove to his first win of the year, the eighth of his career at the track over Shawn Valenti, Steve Miller (from 19th), Keith Sorg and Dave Golembiewski.

“This is a brand new truck top to bottom and she’s a good one. I have to thank all the friends and family that helped me put this here,” said Brewer beside his Injector Experts, Kent’s Transmissions, B&S Farms backed #8KB.

In the second feature Cody Laird led the first three laps before Valenti took control. Brewer pressured Valenti several laps before experiencing mechanical issues with just two laps to go. Valenti drove to his sixth truck win of the year at Fremont over Sorg, Laird, Golembiewski and Todd Warnick. It is Valenti’s 80th career win at the track, putting him just one behind Paul Weaver atop the all-time win list.

“Looks like Kent will be something to contend with this year. Thanks to all my guys and all the sponsors for providing me the chance to do this,” said Valenti beside his Craig Miller Trucking, Conrad Transportation, Dave Story Equipment, A Plus Auto Center, Concrete Material Supply, S&S Hauling and Excavating backed #7B.

Fremont Speedway will host the biggest paying event in the history of the track Saturday, Sept. 14 for the Jim Ford Classic. The 410 sprint winner will take home $20,000! The 305 sprints will also run two feature events.

Gennetten, Lewis earn opening-night wins in 14th annual Hockett-McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway

WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 12, 2024) - Ayrton Gennetten and Ricky Lewis drove to feature victories on Thursday night at Lucas Oil Speedway as the 14th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial opened its three-night run.

Gennetten, of Versailles, Mo., led all 25 laps to beat Aaron Ruezel for the POWRi 410 Sprint victory, worth $3,000. It was the fifth series feature win of the season for the defending POWRi 410 Sprint Series.

Lewis, the reigning champ of the event in the POWRi WAR Sprint division, led the final 11 laps to score his victory in the wingless portion as one of the nation's premier open-wheel weekends got underway.

The Hockett-McMillin Memorial recognizes the legacy of Jesse Hockett, who was a star in both the winged and non-wing sprint divisions when he lost his life in a shop accident in 2010. His cousin and crew chief, Daniel McMillin, was killed in an automobile accident in 2006.

Gennetten was able to overcome three late restarts that wiped out sizable leads to not only win, but collect valuable points toward Saturday night's $10,000-to-win 410 feature starting field.

"I've been rolling pretty good here of late and got the opportunity to drive a great piece of machinery here with Ryan and Ashley Heidbreder's car," Gennetten said. "I have a lot of good people who are behind me."

Gennetten started up front and opened a 1.5-second lead just three laps into the feature over sixth-starting Reutzel with Kyle Jones third. The top three remained unchanged through 10 laps with Gennetten sitting a half-second in front.

As the leaders caught lapped traffic in a caution-free event to that point, Gennetten was able to regain a bit of breathing room over Reutzel and Jones as Joe B. Miller settled into fourth.

Gennetten continued to excel in getting around slower cars and his gap jumped to 1.5 seconds by lap 17. One circuit later, the first caution flew as Zach Hampton came to a stop atop turn two.

That first yellow wiped away Gennetten’s 1.3-second lead and gave new life to Reutzel, Jones, Miller and fifth-running Jamie Ball with seven laps remaining.

Gennetten had a flawless restart and rolled to a 1.4-second lead in just a lap. But another yellow on lap 20 as Blake Hahn’s car slow in turn two blunted the leader’s march. But that proved only temporary as Gennetten again proved dominant over the final five laps.

Ball grabbed second on lap 21, but as Gennetten built a race-best 2.8-second lead another caution flew with three to go. It again proved to be no problem for the leader as Gennetten went on to beat Reutzel by 2.1 seconds at the finish.

Gennetten, in his victory lane interview, was not particularly happy with the flurry of late cautions.

"Luckily we were able to hold on and it sets us up good for tomorrow. We're fast and hopefully we can capitalize the rest of the week," Gennetten said.

Reutzel said his car was strong, but not strong enough to stay up with the winner.

"They were good," Reutzel said of Gennetten. "We got to second so quick that I was trying to bide my time and not destroy my tires like I did in the heat race. I needed some thick lapped traffic to have a shot at him. It wasn't meant to be tonight."

Miller wound up third with Ball fourth and Scott Bogucki fifth.

Lewis earns POWRi WAR Sprints win: The defending champ of the POWRi WAR Sprint portion of the Hockett-McMillin Memorial got his weekend off to a rousing start by dominating the second half of the 25-lapper.

Ricky Lewis of Camarillo, Calif., grabbed the lead on lap 14 and outdisanced Riley Kreisel for the $2,000 POWRi WAR victory. The non-wing field is split into programs on Thursday and Friday with finishes helping determine the starting lineup for Saturday's finale.

Wesley Smith of Nixa, Mo., appeared to be the car to beat for the first half of the race. Smith grabbed the lead at the start and opened up a 1.3-second command by lap five as four cars battled for the runner-up position. A lap later, Jack Wagner moved into second place but stayed there for just one circuit before he rolled to a stop in turn two with a flat right rear tire.

On the restart, Wyatt Burks briefly passed Smith in turn two before Smith regained the point down the backstretch. But on lap 14, third-starting Lewis took the top spot away from Smith coming off turn two - just before the race’s fifth caution flew for a car that rolled to a stop in turn one.

Burks used the restart to move into second in front of Smith as Lewis set the pace up front. Smith rallied back into second on lap 18, but found himself one second behind Lewis with just seven laps to go.

Smith sliced the margin to a half second by lap 20 and was within a car length two laps later with Burks also in the mix. But on lap 23, Smith got into turn one too hard and spun. He was able to keep going and the race stayed green.

That was all Lewis needed to pull away to finish 3.4 seconds in front of Kreisel at the checkers. Burks finished third with Kyle Jones fourth and Smith fifth.

"Me and Wesley had a pretty good battle," Lewis said of the middle portion of the event as he moved to the front. "I know I sent it in pretty deep, but I know I'm racing again really good guys and they can adapt as I would do the same. Shout-out to Wesley, I love racing with him. We don't get to race against each other often, but when we do it's a blast.

"The race track was racy so you could race anywhere. That's what you fans like to see."

Ricky Lewis Reigns Supreme in Hockett/McMillin Night One Thriller with POWRi WAR

Wheatland, MO. (9/12/24) Ricky Lewis would outduel all others in the action-packed opening night of the Fourteenth Annual Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway with the POWRi Wingless Auto Racing Sprint League to notch his second career feature victory kicking off the premier weekend racing event in superb style.

Racing onto the quick surface of Lucas Oil Speedway, POWRi WAR would find traditional sprinter Kyle Shipley set the quickest hot-lap time of 15.430-second lap as Ricky Lewis, Wyatt Burks, and Wesley Smith each earned heat racing victories.

Kick-starting the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Wesley Smith and Wyatt Burks lined up in the front row as Wesley Smith would gain the lead on the opening lap with Wyatt Burks blasting into the runner-up spot ahead of Ricky Lewis, Jack Wagner, and Riley Kreisel inside the top five.

Clinging to the high-side hustle, Wesley Smith would start the action-packed event with the lead as battling action behind the leader would ensue with Ricky Lewis, Wyatt Burks, Jack Wagner, and Riley Kreisel all throwing sliders and crossovers on either side of the track all within the top five.

Leading just past the half-way point, Wesley Smith and Ricky Lewis would begin a battle for the ages with neither driver buckling under the added pressure up front with Ricky Lewis taking over the preferred positioning on the track as Wyatt Burks, Riley Kreisel, Tom Curran, Kyle Jones, and Kyle Shipley all attempted to run down the speedy pair.

Holding steady for the final twelve laps up front, Ricky Lewis would emerge victorious with the POWRi WAR Sprint League at Lucas Oil Speedway to notch his first yearly league victory. Staying in the hunt and using a perfect late race restart, Riley Kreisel would finish runner-up as Wyatt Burks completed the final podium placements.

“I was trying to save my tires early but I knew with Wesley out front I had to go. The race track was really racy tonight and you could really set it anywhere, I know I was sending it in deep into the corners but the car was on a rail tonight and just stuck” said victorious Ricky Lewis in the Wheatland Missouri victory lane celebrations. Adding, “Everybody on this team works so hard, it feels great to be here and hopefully can repeat on Championship Night this year.”

Challenging closely behind would find Kyle Jones finish fourth as recovering from a late race mishap Wesley Smith rounded out the top five finishers for the POWRi WAR at Lucas Oil Speedway on Night One of the Hockett/McMillin Memorial.

Ayrton Gennetten Attains Night One Win with POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints Hockett/McMillin Memorial

Wheatland, MO. (9/12/24) Ayrton Gennetten would set sail on cruise control out front with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint in the 14th Annual Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial to notch his fifth yearly league victory and land the preliminary night one checkers in an outstanding feature event at Lucas Oil Speedway.

Flying onto the smooth surface with thirty-two talented entrants of the POWRi 410’s would see Noah Gass set a quick group-qualifying time of 13.402-second lap with Kyle Jones, Jamie Ball, Brian Bell, and Joe B Miller each earning heat racing victories.

Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Kyle Jones and Ayrton Gennetten lined up in the front row as Ayrton Gennetten would gain the lead on the opening lap with Aaron Reutzel, Kyle Jones, Joe B Miller, and Jamie Ball all racing within the top five.

Battling valiantly, Ayrton Gennetten would appear to be a different division by leading over two-seconds through green flag action as lap traffic quickly came into play as the laps rapidly clicked away with Aaron Reutzel, Jamie Ball, Joe B Miller, and Kyle Jones all jockeying for positions inside the top five

Setting the stage for late-race dramatics, caution would bunch the field back together with Ayrton Gennetten capitalizing on the multiple refires with Aaron Reutzel keeping close to the leader throughout the final laps.

Leading all twenty-five laps, Ayrton Gennetten would not be denied in earning his eighth career POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed main event with Aaron Reutzel hustling into the runner-up position from starting sixth on the opening lap.

Austin Wood races to initial Sprint Car victory at Placerville Speedway

By Gary Thomas

Placerville, CA…Fourteen-year-old Micro graduate Austin Wood has been nothing short of impressive during his rookie campaign at Placerville Speedway. After showing consistency all season, the Sacramento driver was able to park it in victory lane for the first time in his young Sprint Car career on Saturday night.

Sharing victory lane on Anrak Night at the Races were Cade Lewis with the USAC/BCRA Midgets, Jake Morgan with the BCRA Lightning Sprints and Nick Baldwin with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks.

The 25-lap Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car main event started off a little ragged, but once things got going, it was Austin Wood setting the pace over Ashton Torgerson. A multi-car incident on lap six then saw Torgerson get caught up in it, forcing him to the rear of the field.

Numerous slowdowns were seen in the feature, but Wood hit his marks on each restart. Suisun City youngster Chance Grasty gave chase after the leader and looked very strong all night long. Grasty had to fend off several challenges from Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick as the race wound down as well.

With a couple circuits remaining Grasty closed fast on Wood and made it a battle for the lead. The final lap saw the duo race nose to tail down to the checkered flag, which saw Wood edge out Grasty to claim the big win.

Carrick crossed the stripe in third, followed by point leader Andy Forsberg and 17th starter Tony Gomes, who was the Hard Charger after winning the B-main. Rounding out the top-10 were Bubba Decaires, Dustin Freitas, Camden Robustelli, Izaak Sharp and Jake Haulot.

The USAC Western States/ BCRA Midget 30-lap main event began with TJ Smith jumping out to the early lead. Tanner Carrick was doing double duty in both the Midget and Sprint Car on Saturday, and quickly found the high side to his liking.

Current USAC point leader Cade Lewis slow rolled the bottom to perfection however, as he sliced his way into the top-spot on lap eight. After that it was all Lewis up front who cruised to the Ron Stahl checkered flag ahead of Carrick, Smith, Brandon Wiley and Drake Edwards.

Fair Oaks racer Jake Morgan made a start with the BCRA Lightning Sprints on Saturday and drove to victory during their annual Tracy Taylor Memorial. Hunter Kinney stalked him every step of the way but couldn’t make the pass and settled for a runner up finish. Tyler Gerdes, Matt Land and Bradley Schmidt completed the top-five.

The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks continued their trend of providing exciting racing in the main event. Jason Poppert has shown speed at times this year and led the opening stages of the feature. Current runner up in the standings Kevin Jinkerson then carved his way by for the top-spot on lap seven.

Poppert stayed close however, as the action was hot and heavy throughout the pack. The complexion of the race changed when contact ensued between Jinkerson and Poppert while battling for the point on lap 17. Jinkerson ultimately came to a stop, while Poppert was put to the rear in a rough driving call.

Five-time track champ and point leader Nick Baldwin now found himself out front and he would lead the remainder for win number six on the season. Tyler Lightfoot, Wayne Trimble, Tommy Sturgeon and David Silva rounded out the top-five.

Placerville Speedway finishes off the Berco Redwood/ Hoosier Tire championship campaign with Coors Light Big Trophy Night this coming Saturday September 14th.

Sherrell wins USL thriller at Caney Valley Speedway

By John Rittenoure (SNP Photo)

CANEY, Kans. (September 7, 2024) - Saturday nights Ortco, Inc. United Spring League presented by Same Day Auto Repair main event at Caney Valley Speedway was a thriller from start to finish. Especially the finish.

Matt Sherrell passed leader Andrew Deal coming to the white flag then held him off on the final circuit around the Caney quarter-mile oval for a hard-fought victory driving the Paul Johnson 5X.

Sherrell, who just a week earlier drove from 13th to finish a very close second to Tyler Edwards in the ironman 55 at Creek County Speedway, charged from 8th starting position and was in a three car battle for the lead after just six laps.

After Ty Hulsey took the initial lead from the pole defending series champion Johnny Kent wheeled into the top spot after a lap 2 caution and Deal was right behind a lap later. Kent kept the field in check until Deal found his way around him on lap 12. With Deal out front Kent quickly found himself in a battle with Sherrell for second. The two battled wheel-to-wheel and Sherrell managed to grab second on lap 20 only to fall back to third on lap 22. On lap 25 Sherrell again passed Kent and stayed there. Sherrell reeled in Deal as the laps wound down passing him at the end of lap 29. Sherrell then held off Deal on the final circuit.

Deal was just 0.428 seconds behind at the finish with Kent settling for third. Series points leader Tim Kent held on to fourth and Danny Smith came from ninth to finish fifth.

The victory moved Sherrell to third in points behind Tim and Johnny Kent.

Justin Patocka won the Speed Stix Shocks first heat, Jimmy Forrester picked up the Kent Fireworks second heat win, and Johnny Kent topped the Morton Excavating third heat.

Austin Wood races to initial Sprint Car victory at Placerville Speedway

By Gary Thomas

Placerville, CA…Fourteen-year-old Micro graduate Austin Wood has been nothing short of impressive during his rookie campaign at Placerville Speedway. After showing consistency all season, the Sacramento driver was able to park it in victory lane for the first time in his young Sprint Car career on Saturday night.

Sharing victory lane on Anrak Night at the Races were Cade Lewis with the USAC/BCRA Midgets, Jake Morgan with the BCRA Lightning Sprints and Nick Baldwin with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks.

The 25-lap Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car main event started off a little ragged, but once things got going, it was Austin Wood setting the pace over Ashton Torgerson. A multi-car incident on lap six then saw Torgerson get caught up in it, forcing him to the rear of the field.

Numerous slowdowns were seen in the feature, but Wood hit his marks on each restart. Suisun City youngster Chance Grasty gave chase after the leader and looked very strong all night long. Grasty had to fend off several challenges from Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick as the race wound down as well.

With a couple circuits remaining Grasty closed fast on Wood and made it a battle for the lead. The final lap saw the duo race nose to tail down to the checkered flag, which saw Wood edge out Grasty to claim the big win.

Carrick crossed the stripe in third, followed by point leader Andy Forsberg and 17th starter Tony Gomes, who was the Hard Charger after winning the B-main. Rounding out the top-10 were Bubba Decaires, Dustin Freitas, Camden Robustelli, Izaak Sharp and Jake Haulot.

The USAC Western States/ BCRA Midget 30-lap main event began with TJ Smith jumping out to the early lead. Tanner Carrick was doing double duty in both the Midget and Sprint Car on Saturday, and quickly found the high side to his liking.

Current USAC point leader Cade Lewis slow rolled the bottom to perfection however, as he sliced his way into the top-spot on lap eight. After that it was all Lewis up front who cruised to the Ron Stahl checkered flag ahead of Carrick, Smith, Brandon Wiley and Drake Edwards.

Fair Oaks racer Jake Morgan made a start with the BCRA Lightning Sprints on Saturday and drove to victory during their annual Tracy Taylor Memorial. Hunter Kinney stalked him every step of the way but couldn’t make the pass and settled for a runner up finish. Tyler Gerdes, Matt Land and Bradley Schmidt completed the top-five.

The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks continued their trend of providing exciting racing in the main event. Jason Poppert has shown speed at times this year and led the opening stages of the feature. Current runner up in the standings Kevin Jinkerson then carved his way by for the top-spot on lap seven.

Poppert stayed close however, as the action was hot and heavy throughout the pack. The complexion of the race changed when contact ensued between Jinkerson and Poppert while battling for the point on lap 17. Jinkerson ultimately came to a stop, while Poppert was put to the rear in a rough driving call.

Five-time track champ and point leader Nick Baldwin now found himself out front and he would lead the remainder for win number six on the season. Tyler Lightfoot, Wayne Trimble, Tommy Sturgeon and David Silva rounded out the top-five.

Placerville Speedway finishes off the Berco Redwood/ Hoosier Tire championship campaign with Coors Light Big Trophy Night this coming Saturday September 14th.

Jordan Thomas Gets Redemption at Weedsport

By Curtis Berleue (Weedsport, NY) | After a heartbreaking mistake while leading on the last lap the last time the Empire Super Sprints were in town back in July, Jordan Thomas was hungry for redemption as the tour returned for the finale of the ‘Cavalcade Cup’. And get redemption he did, as he led the final 15 laps en-route to a $2,000 victory.

Logan Crisafulli and Scott Kreuter would lead the field to the green flag, with Crisafulli taking the early lead down the backstretch. Kreutter followed in second, but Jordan Thomas slipped by him before the flag stand to take over the runner-up spot.

With 5 laps complete, the lead duo of Crisafulli and Thomas had opened a significant gap over the rest of the field. Joe Trenca was solidly in third, with Kreutter and Matt Tanner racing for the fourth position.

As Crisafulli worked his way through lap traffic on lap 10, Thomas used that to his advantage and was able to pull right to the tail tank of the #36. Switching his line from high to low, Thomas slid Crisafulli going into turn 3, and exited turn 4 with the lead, leading lap 12.

Working the high side of the speedway, Thomas was able to masterfully work lap traffic and extend his lead over Crisafulli. Behind Crisafulli, Larry Wight had climbed to fourth and was trying everything he could to get by the #98 of Trenca. On lap 20, Wight slid Trenca in turns 3 and 4, but Trenca was able to cross him over and defend third for the time being.

With a clear track ahead of him, Thomas crossed under the checkers first, earning his first victory of the season.

“The car was really good, it was a really technical track tonight,” said Thomas. “It really slicked up compared to what we had in the July race.”

“It feels good to get the win, we’ve got a big week of us headed into Ohsweken, a lot of money on the line and we run pretty good up there, hopefully we can bring home some money.”

Logan Crisafulli continued the momentum he has built over the second half of the season and racked up another podium finish, coming in second behind Thomas.

“I was kind of hoping lap traffic would help me a little bit there,” said Crisafulli. “He had a fast car all night though, so I’m just glad to be up here. This car has been awesome lately, hats off to my team.”

At the line, Larry Wight slipped by Joe Trenca to round out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium.

“I just needed a caution to regroup everyone,” said Wight. “I think we definitely had a second-place car, I couldn’t see the 79 to see where he was, I figure he was probably ripping the lip though.”

“This is the second race on this car, and it hasn’t finished off the podium yet so we’re happy with it.”

With 30 cars in the pits for the final night of the Cavalcade Cup weekend, the field was split into three timed hot lap groups. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Jordan Poirier, Kelsey Ivy and Matt Tanner. E&V Energy heat race wins went to Larry Wight, Chris Hile and Matt Tanner, while the Kinney’s Kar Kare Dash was won by Chase Moran. Davie Franek won the Lacaillade Masonry B-Main.

The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is the Northern Sprint Car Nationals at the Ohsweken Speedway for a non-points event. The tour’s next full points event will be on Friday September 20 at the Outlaw Speedway in Dundee, NY for the $4,000 to win Outlaw Fall Nationals.

Cap Henry claims Fremont 410 win, wraps up 3rd AFCS title; Weaver earns 3rd 305 win with Jamie Miller earning AFCS title; Valenti scores 5th truck win

Saturday, Sept. 7, 2024

By Brian Liskai

FREMONT, Ohio – Coming into the championship night, Saturday, Sept. 7 at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction for the 410 sprints All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series (AFCS) Presented by the Baumann Auto Group Cale Thomas held a slim 33 point lead over defending series champion Cap Henry. All Henry could do was win on Baumann Auto Group Night and hope for Thomas to finish out of the top 10 if he stood a chance at claiming his third AFCS title. Henry led all 30-laps Saturday to score his second win of the year at “The Track That Action Built,” while Thomas finished 12th .

It is the second straight AFCS title for Henry, the 2023 Fremont Speedway track champion, and his 20th career win at Fremont. It is the Bellevue, Ohio driver’s 7th overall victory of 2024.

Current Fremont Speedway point leader Kalib Henry finished second with Nate Dussel, Zane DeVault and DJ Foos rounding out the top five in the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint A-main.

“Everybody did their part on this team. That thing was just plain fast. I knew I was picking through the traffic good…I read that infield scoreboard more than I ever have in my whole career to see if my lead was building or losing. Zack (Myers, crew chief) kept telling me everything I was doing was right but I couldn’t have botched that last restart any worse if I tried. I’m just so proud of this whole team. It hasn’t been a great year compared to how we did it last year. It was a long shot to get this championship and to pull that off it says so much about everyone involved,” said Henry beside his Premier Planning Service, Jeff Ward Demolition, Ohio Logistics, Primal Tee Shop, Elliott’s Custom Trailers and Carts, FK Rod Ends, Griff’s Engines backed #33W.

Fremont, Ohio’s Paul Weaver and Vermilion, Ohio’s Tyler Shullick put on a whale of a battle for the win in the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint A-main. Shullick lead laps 1-4 with Weaver taking over for laps five and six. Shullick regained the lead on lap seven only to see Weaver take it back a lap later and lead to lap 19. The pair raced side by side over that 12 lap battle. Shullick lead lap 20 and Weaver inched back ahead a lap later and held on for his third win of 2024 at Fremont with Dustin Stroup, Jamie Miller and Dustin Dinan rounding out the top five.

The victory is Weaver’s fourth overall victory of 2024 and the 81st of his career at Fremont to sit atop the track’s all-time win list.

“The last month it’s been nice going back to kind of normal. We struggled early this year and finally got some things figured out. I hated showing up wondering what’s going to happen next,” said Weaver beside his Steve Brown’s B&B Drain Service, Hampshire Racing Engines, M&L Excavating backed #1W.

Miller just had to make the feature to wrap up his second NAPA of Bryan AFCS Presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales 305 sprint title, topping Weaver’s four consecutive years of winning the series title.

“We’ve had a very solid year…been pounding away at it getting solid finishes and hoping we can keep going and get the championship here,” said Miller who has nine 305 sprint wins in 2024, three dirt truck victories and a non-wing sprint win this season.

Jamie Miller led the first three laps of the 20-lap Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck feature before Shawn Valenti took over. Valenti and Steve Miller ran door to door for seven straight laps before Miller suffered engine woes with two laps to go. Valenti drove away for his fifth win of the season over Jamie Miller, Dave Golembiewski, Keith Sorg and Ron Miller rounding out the top five.

The victory is the 79th career win for Valenti at Fremont Speedway, putting him second, just two behind Weaver on the All-time win list.

“We got into a pretty good rhythm there before that caution with five laps to go and I wasn’t sure how hard to push it those last couple of laps and he (Steve Miller) woke me up and got me to sit back up in the seat,” said Valenti beside his Craig Miller Trucking, Conrad Transportation, Dave Story Equipment, A Plus Auto Center, Concrete Material Supply, S&S Hauling and Excavating backed #7B.

Fremont Speedway will be back in action Friday and Saturday, Sept. 13 and 14 for the Jim Ford Classic, the richest event in the history of the track. Friday features a complete program of the Ti-22 Performance Fast on Dirt 410 Sprints, the rest of the series’ feature that was cut short due to rain in June along with double features for the dirt trucks.

Crisafulli Earns First Empire Super Sprints Win at Brewerton

By Curtis Berleue (Brewerton, NY) | After a handful of strong runs in the month of August, including a podium last weekend at Autodrome Drummond, Logan Crisafulli has finally broken through to Empire Super Sprints victory lane.

After setting Rifenburg Contracting quick time in his timed hot lap group and drawing the Pinnacle Pole, Jonathan Preston led the field to the initial green flag, but it was outside pole sitter Trevor Years who would lead the first two laps.

Preston was able to get by Years to take the lead on lap three, where he would stay for the next handful of laps. Lap 9 saw Dalton Rombough inherit the lead from Preston, with 7th starting Logan Crisafulli hot on his heels in second.

After stalking Rombough for 5 laps, Crisafulli was able to sneak by him for the lead on lap 15. While perennial Brewerton favorites Larry Wight and Danny Varin were chasing Crisafulli, they weren’t able to get past the driver of the #36 and he was able to hang on for his first Empire Super Sprints victory.

“Theres not a whole lot of brown down there (on the bottom),” said Crisafulli in victory lane. “I knew it worked, so I had to try it, and it continued to work if I hit my marks.”

“I knew I could at lead come side by side with the guys behind me out of the corner, so I knew that if they were able to get by me on the high side, I could at least try something different.”

Larry Wight came from the 12th starting spot to finish second.

“I just tried to hit my marks, hit my marks,” said Wight. “The bottom was fast, but you had to hit it right. If you missed it a little bit then you’d be spinning off, but if you could keep the car straight you could use a little throttle.”

Rounding out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium was Danny Varin.

“I just think we were too good way to early,” said Varin. “Great job by them (Crisafulli), they’ve been fast the last couple of races, just ran out of time.”

With 27 cars pit side for the first of three nights of action on the Labor Day triple header weekend, the field was broken into three timed hot lap groups to start the evening. Jonathan Preston, Jordan Thomas and Sammy Reakes IV earned Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards in their respective groups, while Davie Franek, Larry Wight and Sammy Reakes IV picked up E&V Energy heat race wins. Joe Trenca won the Cobra Coaches dash, and Chris Hile picked up the victory in the Lacaillade Masonry B-Main.

Joe Trenca Victorious at Fulton Speedway

By Curtis Berleue (Fulton, NY) | Continuing the trend of new faces in victory lane, Joe Trenca picked up the win on Saturday night with the Empire Super Sprints at the Fulton Speedway. After riding in second for the majority of the event, he passed Johnny Smith for the lead with two laps to go to secure his first win of 2024 with the Tour.

After drawing the Pinnacle Pole Award, Johnny Smith jumped out to the early lead over outside polesitter Joe Trenca. The lead duo would remain that way for the majority of the event.

While Smith and Trenca paced the field, the show was behind them as both Jason Barney and Billy VanInwegen started mid pack and were meticulously working their way through the field.

Having started 14th, Barney had worked his way permanently into the top 10 by lap 5, and on lap 11 had begun to pick off cars lap by lap, moving into the top 5 with just 3 laps remaining.

VanInwegen was writing a similar story, having started 8th, he worked his way into fifth by lap 3 and then up to fourth on lap 13.

With just two laps to go, Trenca was able to get by Smith, who had led the entire race up until that point and lead the final laps to pick up his first victory of 2024.

“I could run the bottom, and I knew my pace was really good but the lap cars didn’t work out,” said Trenca. “We ran each other clean and we got the win.”

“He (Smith) could have shut the door on me hard there and he raced me clean. I was really good through the middle, I could use the wing to try to capitalized on that (slidejob) and we did it.”

Johnny Smith was able to hold on for the runner-up position.

“Halfway through the race we lost brakes, and I knew I was getting held up by lap traffic,” said Smith. “He (Trenca) did a phenomenal job and I knew that if we got another yellow then I was going to be out of luck – I’m really happy to come home second.”

Jason Barney rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third.

“We have enough race car, enough crew and enough engine, the driver just doesn’t always do the right things and do his job the best that he can,” said Barney. “Last night was disappointing, we just moved forward to tonight. We felt like we learned some things, or at least did some things we know worked instead of doing things that don’t.”

The field was split into three timed hot lap groups at the beginning of the night, with Billy VanInwegen, Logan Crisafulli and Danny Varin earning Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards. E&V Energy heat races were won by Jordan Poirier, Sammy Reakes IV and Jordan Thomas. The Cobra Coaches dash went to Shawn Donath.

Jock Goodyer surges to Nor*Cal Posse Shootout triumph

By Gary Thomas

Placerville, CA…After driving back from Washington on Friday in time for this weekends Nor*Cal Posse Shootout, Australian 360 Sprint Car champion Jock Goodyer put on a clinic Sunday night, scoring his initial Placerville Speedway victory.

The Launceston, TAS, Australia wheelman piloted the Kevin Kozlowski owned Works Limited No. 57w, wrenched by Paul Silva, to an $8,000 score during the 7th running of the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout presented by Berco Redwood.

Sharing victory lane on Sunday night was Roseville driver Brent Steck, who earned a $5,000 win in the High Sierra West Coast Wingless Shootout portion of the evening.

The 35-lap Winged 360 Sprint Car feature started out with Fresno’s Caeden Steele leading the opening circuit, until Goodyer made the move under him to grab the point. At that same time Steele’s car broke loose and he looped it to a stop, bringing out a caution with one lap down.

Once out front Goodyer had his way with things and withstood multiple restarts, keeping the rest of the field at bay. He went on to accept the Ron Stahl checkered flag for his first career victory in the United States.

Placerville’s own Shane Hopkins continued his fantastic season with another strong run after starting from position number 11. The driver of the High Sierra Industries No. 21 made several precision-based moves to charge forward and grab second from Monrovia, Indiana’s Justin Peck with three laps remaining.

Hopkins closed the gap slightly but couldn’t do anything with Goodyer as the race wrapped up. Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick put together a solid run and was able to nip Peck at the line to round out the podium.

After competing with Kubota High Limit Racing on Saturday at Skagit Speedway, Peck made the 13-hour drive south to compete for owner Clayton Snow. He was rewarded with a fourth-place finish, while 14th starter Chance Grasty rounded out the podium.

Completing the top 10 were Dylan Bloomfield, Cody Key, 18th starter Colby Copeland, Sean Becker and Tony Gomes. Copeland’s run from 18th to eighth netted him the $425 Hard Charger Award in memory of Davy Thomas.

A total of 31 Winged Sprint Cars returned to cap the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout presented by Berco Redwood. Caeden Steele began the evening by earning fast time with a lap of 10.714.

The High Sierra West Coast Wingless Shootout main event saw a very popular winner in the form of Brent Steck, who battled to the lead on lap six and withstood a late challenge by Shawn Jones.

Dylan Newberry jumped out front early and paced the opening laps until Steck was able to slice his way past. The bottom side was the preferred groove for the wingless warriors however, Shawn Jones gave it a try upstairs.

Picking off cars one by one the San Jose driver carved his way into second with six laps remaining and then took his shot on a restart. Jones blasted to the high side to grab the top-spot and lead lap 22. Jones then caught the cushion just hard enough though to turn the car sideways and send him over the banking for a yellow.

Steck then led the final few circuits to grab the triumph over Newberry, Saturday winner Shane Hopkins, Anthony Bruno and Heath Holdsclaw. Twenty-one Wingless Sprints returned on Sunday with Newberry setting fast time to begin the program.

Placerville Speedway now gears up for the penultimate championship point race of the season this Saturday September 7th. Anrak Night at the Races will feature the Thompson’s Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars, the USAC Western States Midgets, BCRA Lightning Sprints and the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks.

Kofoid Outlasts Last-Lap Slider During Thriller to Capture $100,000-to-Win BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals Presented by MENARDS at Huset's Speedway

Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (Sept. 1, 2024) - Michael "Buddy" Kofoid etched his name into sprint car history on Sunday night at Huset's Speedway, where he earned the $100,000 top prize after outlasting Carson Macedo in a thrilling BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by MENARDS main event.

It marked the first crown jewel triumph for Kofoid and his second career World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series victory at Huset's Speedway, where he became the 37 th different winner in 43 main events this season.

"One hundred thousand, that's a lot of money," he said. "I'm kinda at a loss for words.

"Obviously the money is good, but just to win an Outlaws race is so damn hard. If you put yourself in contention it's bound to happen."

Kofoid did just that all weekend to line up on the outside of the front row in the 40-lap feature on Myrl & Roy's Paving Night, which served as the final race of the season at the high-banked track.

Macedo, who was the high-points driver following Saturday's preliminary night, won a heat race as well as the King of the Hill to garner the pole position for the A Main. He powered into the lead on the start and held the top spot until Kofoid executed a slide job in turns three and four on Lap 24.

Macedo responded with a slide job of his own in the same corners one lap later. He and Kofoid nearly made contact, with Kofoid checking up and Macedo regaining first place. A few laps later Macedo was stuck behind a pair of cars he was attempting to lap, which allowed Kofoid to sneak by on the bottom of turns one and two on Lap 30. Kofoid quickly lapped the two drivers to build approximately a one-second advantage before the final caution of the race occurred on Lap 34.

Kofoid was smooth on the restart and again held a comfortable lead until getting to traffic on the final lap. As he dove low underneath a lapped car and slid up the track in turns three and four, Macedo made a power move, hitting the bottom and sliding across the track directly in front of Kofoid exiting turn four. Macedo's momentum guided him into the frontstretch wall as Kofoid turned slightly underneath him and won the drag race to the checkered flag by 0.223 seconds.

"Carson and I were going at it pretty good and I could pace him pretty well in traffic," he said. "We fought pretty hard and almost turned it over when he slid me. I thought that was it. I could just maneuver the bottom really well. I feel that's what kept me close to him.

"I was trying to watch the board (in the closing laps). I knew traffic was going to play a factor. I got to him a lap earlier than I wanted to. I can't even think right now. I'm glad we just won this race. Redemption from last year."

Macedo's second-place result was his fifth podium outing in his last seven races.

"I didn't know that I was going to have enough," he said of the last-lap move. "It gave me just enough of a run where I could throw a Hail Mary at it. It was definitely all I had. I knew that was the only shot I had was to bounce it off the fence and get to the line. Racing for big money is laying it all out there on the line."

Bill Balog recorded a third-place finish, which was his career-best performance during a World of Outlaws race at Huset's Speedway.

"This is huge," he said. "It's been a really good three days. It's a huge night for us. We seem to be going in the right direction with this Triple X car. I'm just super happy with tonight."

Giovanni Scelzi placed fourth and Donny Schatz was fifth.

Kofoid, Schatz and Scelzi joined Macedo as heat race winners. Christopher Thram picked up the Last Chance Showdown victory.

Cody Baker Claims Checkers at Lake Ozark Speedway with POWRi WAR

Eldon, MO. (8/31/24) Cody Baker would perfect the event by leading all twenty laps in night one of the Non-Wing Nationals presented by Start2Finish TV at Lake Ozark Speedway with the POWRi Wingless Auto Racing Sprint League to notch his second career feature victory kicking off the premier weekend event in an epic twenty lap feature.

Racing onto the quick surface of Lake Ozark Speedway, POWRi WAR would find twenty talented traditional sprinters witnessing Cody Baker set the quickest hot-lap time of 13.649-second lap as Cody Baker and Xavier Doney each earned heat racing victories.

Kick-starting the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Xavier Doney and Cody Baker lined up in the front row as Cody Baker would gain the lead on the opening lap with Zachary Clark blasting into the runner-up spot as Xavier Doney, Anthony Nicholson, and Justin Johnson all battled inside the early top five.

Cruising to a comfortable lead, Cody Baker would set sail out front as Wesley Smith rapidly ran into the runner-up positioning early after starting deep in the field with Samuel Wagner also racing through the division after visiting the work area during the parade lap.

Driving into a battle for the lead, Wesley Smith would jump the cushion out of turn four to relinquish multiple spots as Zachary Clark, Anthony Nicholson, Jack Wagner, and Samuel Wagner all battled closely inside the contending group of drivers.

Never wavering, Cody Baker would emerge victorious with the POWRi WAR Sprint League at Lake Ozark Speedway to notch his first yearly league victory. Staying in the hunt and hard-charging towards the front, Wesley Smith would recover to finish runner-up after starting sixteenth as point leader Samuel Wagner completed the final podium placements.

“I knew Wesley would be coming towards the front, I just didn’t expect him that quickly” said victorious Cody Baker in the Eldon Missouri victory lane celebrations. Adding, “I was a little worried in the late restart so I loosed all my shocks and just stood on it.”

Challenging closely behind would find Anthony Nicholson finish fourth as defending champion Jack Wagner rounded out the top five finishers for the POWRi WAR at Lake Ozark Speedway on Night One of the Non-Wing Nationals.

(8/31/24) Kameron Key would set sail and lead the final seventeen laps with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint in Night One of the POWRi Triple Sprint Showdown presented by Start2Finish TV to notch his second league victory and pocket the $5K-payday in an outstanding feature event at Lake Ozark Speedway.

Flying onto the smooth surface with twenty-seven talented entrants of the POWRi 410’s would see Xavier Doney set a quick qualifying time of 11.648-second lap with Kameron Key, Joe B Miller, and Sterling Cling each earning heat racing victories.

Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Xavier Doney and Kameron Key lined up in the front row as Xavier Doney would gain the lead on the opening lap with Kameron Key, Miles Paulus, Joe B Miller, and Ayrton Gennetten all raced within the top five.

Leading by nearly a three second advantage over the first nine laps, Xavier Doney would appear to be in the head of the class only to jump the cushion in turn two ending his night with wall contact as Kameron Key inherited the lead after the caution.

Protecting the front of the field in a very technical track, Kameron Key would never flinch with the lead over the final seventeen laps with Joe B Miller and Ayrton Gennetten keeping close throughout the middle of the race.

Holding steady over a last race restart, Kameron Key would not be denied in earning his first seasonal POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed main event with Derek Hagar hustling into the runner-up position late after starting twelfth.

“I haven’t been getting a lot of calls this summer to drive so I am very thankful to the McGarry family for the opportunity and their continued support,” said Kameron Key in the Eldon Missouri victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “I had to act like more of a reserved racer tonight knowing that I would be better at around 80% then I would be running all out, tonight it really paid off to be patient”.

Challenging closely behind would find point leader Ayrton Gennetten placing on the final podium placement from the starting sixth on the initial green flag. Miles Paulus would be among the frontrunners all feature to fourth as Bryce Norris would round out the top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints Night One of the POWRi Triple Sprint Showdown presented by Start2Finish at Lake Ozark Speedway.

Willie Croft strikes for victory on night one of the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout

By Gary Thomas

Placerville, CA…Making the final Placerville Speedway starts of his career this weekend, Colfax driver Willie Croft proceeded to make it count by racing to victory on opening night of the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout presented by Berco Redwood.

Sharing victory lane on Saturday during the High Sierra West Coast Wingless Shootout portion of the night was Placerville’s own Shane Hopkins.

The 30-lap Winged 360 Sprint Car finale began with Roseville’s Colby Copeland putting the Van Lare Steering Repair No. 5v out front. Dash winner Croft stalked his every move however, as close battles were seen all throughout the field.

The complexion of the race then changed on lap 11 though, as the yellow flag waved for a car slowing down the back stretch. Unfortunately for Copeland, heartbreak city occurred when he got upside down in turn three along with Ryan Rocha while avoiding the slowing car. Both drivers were okay but done for the night.

Croft now found himself out front with Modesto’s Tony Gomes moving into the runner up spot. Several movers and shakers were seen in the main event, including Shane Hopkins, who charged from 16th to third by lap 12.

Gomes kept leader Croft withing his sights and at one point, made the move to slide in front of him entering turn three. The veteran driver stayed poised though and sliced back to his inside, maintaining the point.

A final caution then occurred with three circuits remaining. On the restart Croft blasted away from the pack to accept the Ron Stahl checkered flag aboard his Grinders Automotive/ Rudeen Racing No. 29. It marked his fifth career Winged 360 Sprint Car triumph at Placerville Speedway, ironically tying him with Gomes and fellow veteran Jimmy Trulli, who also wraps up his driving career this season.

Gomes crossed the stripe in second, with Hopkins finishing off a stellar run from row eight to round out the podium.

Hanford’s Michael Faccinto arguably had the run of the night though. After winning the B-main, the driver of the F&F Racing x1 rocketed through the field in aggressive fashion to finish in fourth place after starting from 21st. Redding’s Max Mittry also capped a solid night by rounding out the top-five.

Completing the top-10 on opening night of the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout presented by Berco Redwood were Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick, Australian Jock Goodyear, Suisun City’s Chance Grasty, Dunnigan’s Luke Hayes and El Cajon’s Braden Chiaramonte.

A total of 37 Winged Sprint Cars competed on Saturday. Yuba City’s Seth Standley earned his first career Placerville fast time award to open the night with a lap of 10.650.

The 25-lap main event for the High Sierra West Coast Wingless Shootout started out with Roseville’s Josh Young climbing into the lead. Young had earlier set fast time and captured his heat as he worked on a clean sweep of the evening.

Several stoppages were seen in the feature, which never allowed drivers to get into a constant flow. Shane Hopkins though had found something through the middle of the speedway and began to march his way forward. The 30-year-old took over second on lap eight and then came after the leader.

After hounding Young for the top-spot Hopkins took command on lap 12 and never looked back. The driver of the Cliften & Warren Feed/ MP Operations No. 21 pulled away for his fourth career Wingless Sprint Car win at Placerville Speedway.

Young, DJ Johnson, Brent Steck, Dylan Newberry, Eathon Lanfri, Peter Paulson, Tyler Cato, Shannon Newton and Josh Gillis rounded out the top-10.

It's Willison Again In Must See Sprint Battle At Owosso

OVID, Mich. (Aug. 31, 2024) – There’s just something about Owosso Speedway that Canadian hotshoe Aaron Willison has found to his liking in the Must See Racing Sprint Car Series presented by Perfit.

The Langley, British Columbia veteran and current National Pavement Sprint Car Rankings leader drove from ninth to first in a dicey 40-lap feature Saturday night at the three-eighths-mile oval, notching his second series win of the year and completing a season sweep of MSR events at Owosso.

Willison surgically picked his way up seven positions to second in the first 11 laps, then ate into early leader Jason Blonde’s advantage at the front of the field.

A near-two-second lead was erased in a matter of moments, and Willison made what turned out to be the race-winning pass with an outside-inside cross in turn three on lap 18.

From there, Willison checked out, opening up a gap of more than five seconds before fellow Canadian Ryan Litt found his way to second with 13 laps left.

Litt knocked two seconds off the deficit, but it was a caution with six to go – after Florida’s J.J. Dutton spun in turn two – that truly gave the field one quick chance at dethroning Willison’s dominance.

Willison chose the inside lane for the lone restart of the night, and surged away on the green flag as teenager Colton Bettis scrapped for second with Litt behind him.

That brief battle allowed Willison to pull away to a .949-second victory in owner Dick Myers’ familiar, red-and-yellow No. 50m sprinter.

“To roll [forward] from ninth like we did, Dick Myers and the crew had the RAM Engineering (No.) 50m rolling tonight. That baby was really, really good,” he said in victory lane. “Four-ten sprint cars on three-eighths miles are my jam. We’ve got a three-eighths [track] at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe, Washington, that I’m really good at. I just like the rhythm of those tracks because they’re a great size for these cars.

“Places like here at Owosso are just big enough we can get up and move around, but they’re not too big that [the racing] gets all strung out. Awesome, awesome facility and I had a lot of fun out there.”

Making the night extra special were the different historical threads that intersected in the final laps also.

Willison’s triumph marked the 50th win for Myers since taking ownership of the iconic ‘Mopar Missile,’ a mark that few pavement sprint car teams anywhere in the country have been able to reach.

In a feat of longevity, Myers has done so all with the same car, affectionately known as Seabiscuit.

The veteran leader will also be inducted into the Michigan Motorsports Hall of Fame in October, making the fact that such a milestone happened at a Michigan racetrack all the more fitting.

“It’s just such an honor that Dick lets me drive this race car,” Willison noted. “Everyone in sprint car racing knows this (No.) 50 car and to give Dick his 50th win with it … that’s something as a driver I’ll remember for a long time.”

Bettis, the standout 14-year-old from Lutz, Fla., matched his MSR career-best after passing Litt for second place during the final restart.

Though he got to the runner-up spot on lap 35, Bettis said he just didn’t have enough on the short run to be able to keep pace with Willison at the end.

“I think if I would’ve figured out passing a little bit better, we would’ve definitely been a hundred times better getting through there and giving ourselves a shot. Toward the end, I started figuring it out a little bit, but Aaron had a rocket ship out there. He’s the best in the country right now and he proved why in that one.”

Litt completed the podium after having no practice laps all day due to slowdowns getting across the American-Canadian border en route to the racetrack.

Ohio’s Kevin Mingus was fourth after starting from the pole, and retook second in the point standings as a result of his efforts. He was just ahead of 2022 series champion Charlie Schultz in fifth.

Series point leader Joe Liguori finished sixth and extended his championship advantage, unofficially, to 52 points with one race remaining. Blonde faded to eighth with a worn out right-rear tire after leading the first 17 laps.

Willison’s fast lap during qualifying was 12.773 seconds (105.692 mph) and netted him a $500 bonus. Blonde and Dorman Snyder dominated their respective eight-lap heat races prior to the main event.

The Must See Racing Sprint Car Series season culminates with the season finale Friday night, Sept. 13 at Birch Run (Mich.) Speedway and Event Center. Liguori is in command as he looks to close out the points race and capture the season championship.

ILLINOIS SWEEP!

GRANT REIGNS AT Du QUOIN’S TED HORN “98”

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media

Du Quoin, Illinois (August 31, 2024)………After standing atop the leader board in practice, qualifying and the 100-mile race two weeks earlier at the Springfield Mile, there was only one way that Justin Grant could top himself. Yet he did.

On Saturday’s 70th running of the Ted Horn 100 at the Du Quoin State Fairgrounds in southern Illinois, it was “second verse, same as the first” for the Ione, Calif. native and his Hemelgarn Racing/NOS Energy Drink – Super Fitness – Hemelgarn Enterprises/DRC/Speedway Chevy.

After pacing the field in practice, Honest Abe Roofing Qualifying and the main event at Du Quoin, Grant stamped himself into the record books once more as the 23rd driver to win champ car races under the AAA and/or USAC banner at both one-mile Illinois dirt tracks in a single season.

On that particular list, Grant joined Tony Bettenhausen (1951), Sam Hanks (1953), Jimmy Bryan (1955-56), Johnny Thomson (1958), A.J. Foyt (1964 & 1967), Al Unser (1970), Mario Andretti (1973-74), Gary Bettenhausen (1983), Jack Hewitt (1986-87-93), Chuck Gurney (1989-94-96), Paul White (2001), J.J. Yeley (2002), Tracy Hines (2006), Brian Tyler (2008) and Chris Windom (2018).

“It’s awfully, awfully special,” Grant exclaimed. “To sweep the miles, and to have my name on a list with names like that, is incredible. Sometimes it feels like I’ve written mine on there with a crayon. But I’m starting to get a little more used to the feeling and I’m certainly liking it.”

Despite starting from the pole, Grant fell back to second in the early stages before chasing down and overtaking Logan Seavey on lap 32, then going on to lead the remaining 69 laps and capture his second consecutive Ted Horn 100 victory, the first driver to achieve such a repeat triumphantly at Du Quoin since Shane Cockrum in 2014 and 2015.

Despite completing 98 percent of the laps, Grant had 100 percent of the field covered in what was his third-straight dirt mile victory with the series, the longest stretch of success by any driver since Kody Swanson scored four consecutive on the mile dirt tracks between 2014 and 2015.

Furthermore, Grant is now the first driver since Tracy Hines in 2006 to win the pole and the race at both Illinois dirt miles in the same season. Grant’s seventh career USAC Silver Crown score also elevated him to 17th on the all-time win list alongside fellow series champions Jerry Coons Jr., Rick Hood and George Snider. In the process, Grant cut his championship point deficit behind Kody Swanson to just 12 after maximizing his output by gaining 76 at Du Quoin.

In what turned out to be the first rain-shortened USAC Silver Crown race at Du Quoin since the 1974 edition 50 years ago, weather was imminent throughout much of the day. That aspect, in addition to all of the other necessities of successfully navigating the scheduled 100-mile distance, weighed heavily on Grant’s gameplan.

“We raced with the rain in mind all day,” Grant revealed. “I pushed a little harder early and through the middle section of the race than I wanted to. But with what we had for the weather all day, we worked really hard to make sure we were quick time in hot laps in case we rained out qualifying, so we could get those points and start on the pole. We approached the race a little bit like, ‘hey, we might have rain toward the second half of this thing. Let’s not save it all for the last restart.’”

Much of the first half was marred by accidents that led to a Ted Horn 100 record five red flag periods, all of which each driver walked away from. Don Droud Jr., making his USAC Silver Crown debut, was the first such victim on lap seven after his right front spindle broke while running 11th, sending him straight into the outside turn one wall before flipping over.

Jimmy Light was next in line to find misfortune on lap 15 when he suddenly slowed in turn two while running 15th, which sent him skating up the racetrack right into the path of Brady Bacon who collided with him, resulting in Light impacting the wall and flipping over. Beforehand, Bacon was required to start at the tail after going to a backup car due to a transmission failure with his primary ride.

It was 22nd running Danny Long’s turn next as he banged the outside wall exiting turn four and flipped over on lap 27. Danny Jennings did the same in turn three, making his mark on the turn three wall before flipping several times in his rude introduction to the Du Quoin mile.

As far as the “almost” incidents, Grant nearly had one in his pursuit of Seavey for the lead on lap 23. After nearly getting into the back of Seavey’s rear bumper, Grant turned his wheel left, right, left as he swerved to avoid blasting Seavey. The close call proved costly in the short term as Grant saw a one car length deficit balloon to eight car lengths. However, it came within a whisker of ending his day prematurely.

“I got down in there and I had to jump on the brakes late,” Grant recalled. “I had the left front down in the dust and the right front in the rubber and it hooked me back right. I was facing the wrong way! I thought, ‘oh boy, we’ve really done it here.’ I was really fortunate to get away with that one and regroup and have another shot at (Seavey).”

Once Grant gathered himself, he quickly found his footing again and slid past Seavey on the bottom of turn one on lap 33 to place himself in the race lead. Seavey fought back by cutting under Grant between the long sweeping turns of one and two to retake it, albeit briefly. Grant had the last word as he powered back around the outside of Seavey exiting turn two to take over the top spot, and for good.

“I felt like I could make a lot of right rear grip and stay really straight where guys were having to slide their cars, so I could run a really good pace and keep my right rear tire under me and that allowed me to make that move there,” Grant recounted. “I was able to dive in, get across him and still make enough grip out of the rubber to come back to it and stay with him. We were able to hold him down off two. These things on a mile with the fuel load take a minute to get wound up. It’s not like a sprint car where you can just fire down to the other end. You keep them where they can’t get back to the throttle quite as quick as quickly as they want to. When his motor bogs, you can roll up off there and beat him down to three.”

Kody Swanson soon slotted into the second position on lap 42 after sweeping around the outside of Seavey on the back straight. Grant possessed a 1.6 second lead at the time, but Swanson, a two-time winner of the Ted Horn in his own right in 2010 and 2017, soon made it a contest as he clamped down on Grant throughout the second half of the show.

“In these things, you want to lead them if you can,” Grant explained. “If you feel like you can get there at a decent pace, that’s kind of what you want to do because you can control the race a little bit. Kody was really good there at the end, but we had track position, and we could make a lot of roll speed through the center.”

Rookie drivers had their share of the headlines around the midway point of the race and beyond. Saban Bibent, making just his second career series start, entered the top four by the 50th circuit. Meanwhile, fellow Rookie Briggs Danner was surging, making his way into third past Seavey on lap 65.

Ultimately, heartbreak bit Bibent on lap 88 while running fifth as he entered turn one without brakes, nearly colliding with the concrete perimeter between turns one and two. Moments later, he dropped low and pulled in, ending a memorable run with an 18th place result.

Tire wear became the next issue at hand on lap 90 when fifth running C.J. Leary fell by the wayside with a flat right rear tire, which necessitated a caution. At the very same moment, seventh running Chase Stockon’s right rear went kaput as did eighth running Shane Cockrum’s, sidelining three of the top seven in one fell swoop.

Mitchel Moles, running fourth with five miles to go, had his best Silver Crown run to date come to an end when he ran out of fuel and stopped on the main straightaway.

As the field prepared to face a green-white-checkered restart to decide the finish of the race, Mother Nature had other plans. As the rain continued to fall, cars were ultimately called into the pits. After a delay and an attempt at working in the dirt, it became clear that the race would not be able to continue. It was estimated that an hour would be required to get the track surface back into raceable shape. However, with a deadline to complete the race within a certain timeframe looming (due to preparations for a concert taking place on the stage at the track), the race was deemed complete with Justin Grant the victor over Kody Swanson, Briggs Danner, Jerry Coons Jr. and Logan Seavey.

For Kody Swanson (Kingsburg, Calif.), the driver of the Doran-Binks Racing/Mission Foods – Wilke Orthodontics – Glenn Farms/Maxim/Hampshire Chevy, it was his best result at Du Quoin since winning in 2017.

Meanwhile, Briggs Danner (Allentown, Pa.) recorded his best career result in his Rookie year with the USAC Silver Crown series, starting and finishing third aboard his DMW Motorsports/Fuel Mart – Power Control Systems – Advanced Materials Technologies/DRC/R07 Chevy.

Chris Fetter (Troy, Mo.) raced from 22nd to 10th to earn hard charger honors along with his best career USAC Silver Crown finish. His performance occurred exactly 10 years to the day of his first USAC start on August 31, 2014, also at Du Quoin.

It was the feel good story of the day. Jerry Coons Jr. (Tucson, Ariz.) finished fourth in his 23rd career Ted Horn 100 start at Du Quoin. It also came in the Bateman Racing team's final Du Quoin start where they competed in their first race in 1982. For his 11th to 4th run on this special, but bittersweet day for the Murphysboro, Ill. based team, Coons earned honors as the Inferno Armor Fire Move of the Day.

Macedo Charges to BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals Presented by MENARDS Preliminary Win and High-Point Honors During Ace Ready Mix Night at Huset's Speedway

Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (Aug. 31, 2024) - Carson Macedo executed a late-race slide job to capture the BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by MENARDS preliminary night triumph on Saturday at Huset's Speedway.

Macedo's charge from eighth to win on Ace Ready Mix Night was his second career World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series victory at the high-banked track. It also set him up well as the high-points driver entering the $100,000-to-win event finale on Sunday.

"It feels good to have a lot speed here," he said. "That was fun. It feels good to win, but it's really cool when you win it from eighth like that."

Macedo was the third of three different leaders during the 35-lap main event. Hunter Schuerenberg led the first four laps before Chase Randall took over the top spot with a slide job in turn two on a restart on Lap 5.

A caution on Lap 11 for a spin by Scott Winters was followed by a caution two laps later when fifth-running Scott Bogucki got sideways and collected seventh-running Sheldon Haudenschild. Macedo had climbed into the top five by that point and drove into the runner-up position on Lap 23. The final caution came out on Lap 28 when fifth-running Schuerenberg stopped after contact with Giovanni Scelzi in turn three, setting up the final restart of the race.

Randall rocketed away on the restart, but traffic with three laps remaining allowed Macedo to close to Randall's rear bumper. One lap later, Macedo used a slide job in turn two to narrowly clear Randall for the top spot. Randall went for a slide job of his own in turns three and four, but Macedo's momentum against the cushion prevailed and he led the final two circuits to win by 0.534 seconds.

"That caution helped a lot," Macedo said. "I don't think we would have ever got to him without that restart there. We got to lapped traffic really quick there. And then the lapped cars were all over the place. I felt like I was in the cat bird's seat. Sometimes it's better to be running second in those situations."

Randall, who was going after his first career World of Outlaws win, settled for a career-best second-place showing.

"We were really, really close to getting one tonight," he said. "I think there's a couple of little things I could have done different."

Donny Schatz rounded out the podium, marking a much better outing than the previous night when he was involved in a wild heat race crash that ended his night early.

"We kind of tightened up there," he said. "It felt rolled over the whole time. We have to try to fix that if we're going to try to win this race tomorrow night."

Buddy Kofoid hustled from 17 th to fourth and Bill Balog charged from 16 th to fifth.

Emerson Axsom and Aaron Reutzel each set quick time to lead their qualifying groups. The heat races were won by Schatz, Kaleb Johnson, Randall and Bogucki. Brendan Mullen posted the C Main victory and Winters topped the Last Chance Showdown.

The BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by MENARDS concludes on Sunday during Myrl & Roy's Paving Night when the World of Outlaws feature winner will earn a whopping $100,000. The main gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps slated for 7 p.m.

Haudenschild and Chaney Capture Victories at Huset's Speedway During Huset's Hustle Presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking; Zebell Earns Track Championship

Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (Aug. 30, 2024) - Sheldon Haudenschild and Mike Chaney both pocketed a big payday at Huset's Speedway on Friday night during the Huset's Hustle presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking.

Haudenschild topped a thrilling World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series main event to score the $25,000 top prize. Chaney made the most of his first career Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks win at the track during the $5,000-to-win feature - the biggest payout in division history.

Additionally, the final track champion of the season was determined as J.J. Zebell captured the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks title for the first time in his career.

Emerson Axsom held the top spot for the first 22 laps of the 35-lap World of Outlaws main event, but Haudenschild was all over him as the duo diced through traffic. Haudenschild executed a slide job into turn three to take the lead on Lap 23, but Axsom returned the favor by hitting the bottom groove perfectly in turns one and two on the ensuing lap. He pulled in front of Haudenschild to regain the lead entering turn three. The lone caution of the race came out on the next lap as the drivers were side by side.

Haudenschild powered into the lead for good in turn two on the restart with 11 laps remaining and held off a late charge from Buddy Kofoid for his third career World of Outlaws victory at Huset's Speedway.

"(Axsom) was doing a great job," said Haudenschild, who has produced a podium result in his last five World of Outlaws races. "I feel like we got him in traffic and was probably a little nice and he got back by us. I didn't really know what to expect on that restart. I'm really surprised he didn't rip the top and I was able to get around him."

Kofoid's second-place showing from the ninth starting position marked his third straight podium run.

"I was able to chase people down in dirty air," he said. "Every time we come here I feel we're exceptionally good. I was able to run Sheldon down, but I kinda ran out of time. It's nice to know we have good speed, good enough speed to win. We'll see if we can be one spot better and hopefully get some redemption on Sunday."

Axsom recorded a third-place result to tie his career-best World of Outlaws outing.

"I hate it for my guys, to be in position and kinda give one away there," he said. "It's hard to out-Haud Haud. I feel our stuff is good for the next couple of nights. We just gotta tweak on it a little and I can do a better job in some places."

Garet Williamson placed fourth and Ryan Timms ended fifth.

Timms and Haudenschild topped their qualifying groups. The heat races were won by Logan Schuchart, Kaleb Johnson, Axsom and Williamson. Justin Henderson drove to the C Main triumph and Mark Dobmeier was the Last Chance Showdown winner.

Chaney led the distance of the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks A Main, which was scheduled for 25 laps but added an extra one thanks to a caution on the final scheduled circuit, setting up a green-white-checkered restart.

"It feels pretty damn good," he said. "I've been fighting this car all year. On the start the shifter broke so I was stuck in high gear the whole time. I didn't need that last yellow. I was kinda nervous."

Six cautions, including one on the final scheduled lap, bunched the field together numerous times and kept Chaney out of traffic. He was efficient running the bottom groove lap after lap and produced a solid launch on the green-white-checkered restart to win by 0.449 seconds.

Garet Deboer was the runner up, garnering his best result at the track this season.

"It's been a great night," he said. "We're getting better every week with this car."

Cory Yeigh advanced from eighth to third, posting his sixth podium of the season at the dirt oval.

"Congrats to Mike and Garet," he said. "It was a heck of a race."

Zebell scored a fourth-place finish despite an ill-handling race car to garner the track title.

"It feels pretty damn awesome," he said. "It's been a long time coming. We broke halfway through there and I was just hanging on."

Matt Steuerwald rounded out the top five.

Yeigh set quick time during qualifying before Steuerwald, Zach Olivier and Chaney earned heat race wins.

The racing weekend continues at Huset's Speedway on Saturday when the World of Outlaws kicks off the BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by MENARDS with a $15,000-to-win program during Ace Ready Mix Night. The main gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 7 p.m.

Cap Henry a bridesmaid no longer, takes FAST win to open Attica Ambush

Friday, Aug. 30, 2024

By Brian Liskai

ATTICA, Ohio – Cap Henry has finished second at Attica Raceway Park the last three straight races. The defending track champion was able to take the lead with just five laps to go Friday, Aug. 30 on Great Lakes Truck Centers/Murphy Tractor & Equipment Night and drove to his fourth win of the year at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” speed plant to open the Attica Ambush with the Ti-22 Performance FAST On Dirt Series.

The last five laps of the 40-lap, $6,000-to-win affair were chaotic to say the least. Henry took the lead from Brandon Spithaler on lap 35 right before a caution. Spithaler had taken the lead on lap seven when leader Zeth Sabo ran over a tire from a flipping Creed Kemenah. When the green flew with four laps to go Spithaler and Cale Thomas collided while battling for second, collecting Zane DeVault necessitating a fuel stop. When the green flew Henry, from Bellevue, Ohio, drove away for his 20th career 410 sprint car win at Attica. It was his sixth overall victory of 2024. Greg Wilson drove from 14th to second with Kalib Henry earning third over DJ Foos and Trey Jacobs.

“Our game plan the whole time was we knew we had to be tight and be good the last 10 and not the first 10 like we have been the last four or five times. Zack (Myers, crew chief) has probably never heard me yell so much because we’ve lost so many. I was nervous those last four laps. My guys told me what I was doing was right. Zack tweaked on that thing during the open red and it felt pretty good. Shout out to my guys…they just kept working on it,” said Henry beside his Premier Planning Services, Jeff Ward Demolition, Ohio Logistics, Primal Tee Shop, Elliott’s Custom Trailers and Carts, FK Rod Ends, Griff’s Engines backed #33W.

For Wilson, who won last weekend with the IRA, coming from 14th starting spot, nearly repeated that at Attica.

“Hate to whine…I was pissed the way the track was all night and it made a fool out of me. It slicked off so that you could move around and thank goodness my wife and my girls and Nick Daugherty worked hard and I didn’t feel like it was right to give up. Can’t thank Attica Raceway Park and the fans enough. This place is really cool and when you run good you know you’ve done something. The guys that run here have gotten really, really good over the last couple of years,” said Wilson beside his Hercules Tires, Ohio Logistics, DNC Hydraulics, Heitmeyer Concrete backed #W20.

California driver Kalib Henry ran among the top five the last two thirds of the feature and held on for a podium finish.

“Glad to have some speed back. I want to apologized to Greg. I was racing in the rear view there quite a bit and I hopefully didn’t bug him too much. I hate racing like that. I was just kind of hanging on for dear life. Jim and Rebecca back home, and Kevin for busing his tail to get another car back together after our crash at Knoxville. Want to say hi and get well to Chase Johnson back home…I don’t know if he’s watching this or not but my heart’s out for you and I hope you get better soon,” said Henry beside his Running Boxer Farms, Harris Distributing, Valvoline Oil backed #101.

In the Whistle Stop Presents the Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model feature, Mansfield, Ohio’s Kyle Moore put on a dominating performance, leading all 25 laps and at times had over a four second lead. He would take his sixth Attica win of the year and his 18th overall victory of 2024. Doug Drown, Todd Brennan, Ryan Markham and Mike Bores rounded out the top five.

“I have a lot of confidence in myself. I know what I can do. It’s making everything line up and making it happen is two different things. Ty Tworg…I’m telling you right now, I don’t know what these boys are waiting for but they better make a phone call to that guy and get a car. Otherwise it’s going to be a long year again next year,” said Moore beside his Kepling Flooring, Tye Tworg Longhorn, Joyride Transportation, Smitley Towing, Short Stop, Malcuit Race Engines, Wilson Realty, Robin Jakubick, RL Bond Septic, Hepthorn Golf Cart Sales, House of Spud, K&B Septic Service, Coffman Composites, Team Midwest Paint, Platinum Design backed #1*.

Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Saturday, Aug. 31 for another $6,000 to win 410 sprint car feature with the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints going for $1,200 to win.

Haudenschild and Chaney Capture Victories at Huset's Speedway During Huset's Hustle Presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking; Zebell Earns Track Championship

Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (Aug. 30, 2024) - Sheldon Haudenschild and Mike Chaney both pocketed a big payday at Huset's Speedway on Friday night during the Huset's Hustle presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking.

Haudenschild topped a thrilling World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series main event to score the $25,000 top prize. Chaney made the most of his first career Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks win at the track during the $5,000-to-win feature - the biggest payout in division history.

Additionally, the final track champion of the season was determined as J.J. Zebell captured the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks title for the first time in his career.

Emerson Axsom held the top spot for the first 22 laps of the 35-lap World of Outlaws main event, but Haudenschild was all over him as the duo diced through traffic. Haudenschild executed a slide job into turn three to take the lead on Lap 23, but Axsom returned the favor by hitting the bottom groove perfectly in turns one and two on the ensuing lap. He pulled in front of Haudenschild to regain the lead entering turn three. The lone caution of the race came out on the next lap as the drivers were side by side.

Haudenschild powered into the lead for good in turn two on the restart with 11 laps remaining and held off a late charge from Buddy Kofoid for his third career World of Outlaws victory at Huset's Speedway.

"(Axsom) was doing a great job," said Haudenschild, who has produced a podium result in his last five World of Outlaws races. "I feel like we got him in traffic and was probably a little nice and he got back by us. I didn't really know what to expect on that restart. I'm really surprised he didn't rip the top and I was able to get around him."

Kofoid's second-place showing from the ninth starting position marked his third straight podium run.

"I was able to chase people down in dirty air," he said. "Every time we come here I feel we're exceptionally good. I was able to run Sheldon down, but I kinda ran out of time. It's nice to know we have good speed, good enough speed to win. We'll see if we can be one spot better and hopefully get some redemption on Sunday."

Axsom recorded a third-place result to tie his career-best World of Outlaws outing.

"I hate it for my guys, to be in position and kinda give one away there," he said. "It's hard to out-Haud Haud. I feel our stuff is good for the next couple of nights. We just gotta tweak on it a little and I can do a better job in some places."

Garet Williamson placed fourth and Ryan Timms ended fifth.

Timms and Haudenschild topped their qualifying groups. The heat races were won by Logan Schuchart, Kaleb Johnson, Axsom and Williamson. Justin Henderson drove to the C Main triumph and Mark Dobmeier was the Last Chance Showdown winner.

Chaney led the distance of the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks A Main, which was scheduled for 25 laps but added an extra one thanks to a caution on the final scheduled circuit, setting up a green-white-checkered restart.

"It feels pretty damn good," he said. "I've been fighting this car all year. On the start the shifter broke so I was stuck in high gear the whole time. I didn't need that last yellow. I was kinda nervous."

Six cautions, including one on the final scheduled lap, bunched the field together numerous times and kept Chaney out of traffic. He was efficient running the bottom groove lap after lap and produced a solid launch on the green-white-checkered restart to win by 0.449 seconds.

Garet Deboer was the runner up, garnering his best result at the track this season.

"It's been a great night," he said. "We're getting better every week with this car."

Cory Yeigh advanced from eighth to third, posting his sixth podium of the season at the dirt oval.

"Congrats to Mike and Garet," he said. "It was a heck of a race."

Zebell scored a fourth-place finish despite an ill-handling race car to garner the track title.

"It feels pretty damn awesome," he said. "It's been a long time coming. We broke halfway through there and I was just hanging on."

Matt Steuerwald rounded out the top five.

Yeigh set quick time during qualifying before Steuerwald, Zach Olivier and Chaney earned heat race wins.

The racing weekend continues at Huset's Speedway on Saturday when the World of Outlaws kicks off the BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by MENARDS with a $15,000-to-win program during Ace Ready Mix Night. The main gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 7 p.m.

HUSET'S SPEEDWAY -

Huset's Speedway is a dirt oval located in Brandon, S.D. The track opened in 1954 and has undergone a large renovation within the last few years, making it a premier destination for both marquee racing events and weekly programs.

Timms, Jansen and Ferguson Victorious at Huset's Speedway During The Bull Haulers Brawl Championship Night for Sprint Cars Presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking on Royal River Casino Night

Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (Aug. 25, 2024) - Ryan Timms, Jared Jansen and Brandon Ferguson cashed in on Sunday at Huset's Speedway, which hosted Royal River Casino Night featuring The Bull Haulers Brawl Championship Night for Sprint Cars presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking.

All three drivers reached the top step on the podium on a night when Kaleb Johnson (Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars) and Brady Donnohue (Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series) captured their first career track championships at the high-banked oval.

"I'm proud of my guys," Johnson said. "They busted their butts each and every week not only here but across the Midwest. We're just out here having fun and making memories."

"It's pretty surreal," Donnohue said. "I didn't have this on my goals for this year. I'm just tickled to death."

Andy Pake led the first six laps of the 25-lap, $7,000-to-win Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars main event before Timms pounced in traffic. Aaron Reutzel was all over Pake in the battle for the lead amidst traffic, but it was Timms who rocketed by both drivers down the backstretch on Lap 7.

Timms set a torrid pace for the remainder of the race, winning by 2.034 seconds. It was his second victory of the season at the dirt track.

"There at the start we were really loose," he said. "I got my wing back. Reutzel had got by me at that point. We got into lapped traffic and it was slowing their pace up quite a bit. All of a sudden I was driving by both of them down the backstretch. The car was amazing."

Reutzel executed a slide job for the top spot on a restart on Lap 17, but Timms turned his car underneath Reutzel exiting turn four to maintain the lead. Reutzel's runner-up result was his best outing at Huset's Speedway this year.

"I don't think I got the car where I needed it tonight and I don't think I did a good job of driving," he said. "I had one shot at him, but it was such a Hail Mary that he had all the time to turn down. I gave it my all, just once again it wasn't meant to be. It was a cowboy-up track. Traffic was fun. All in all, it was a good night. I wish I was one spot better, but we'll just have to take it."

Dusty Zomer placed third for his best finish of the season at the track.

"Tonight the track was real heavy so everyone was going to be fast," he said. "Starting sixth, we'll take a podium out of it."

Kerry Madsen was the fourth-place finisher and Pake ended fifth.

Reutzel set quick time during qualifying to open the program before Pake, Brendan Mullen, Brant O'Banion and Justin Henderson produced heat race wins. Tyler Drueke was the B Main winner.

Jansen led all 20 laps to score his first career Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series at Huset's Speedway, where he became the 10 th different winner in 10 division races this season.

"I've been waiting for this one for a long time," he said. "We've been doing this for darn near 20 years and hadn't won one here."

Dan Carsrud, John Lambertz, 16th-starting Shayle Bade and 11th-starting Zach Patterson rounded out the top five, respectively.

Lambertz, Lee Goos Jr., Jeremiah Jordahl and Carsrud were the heat race winners. Gaige Weldon picked up the B Main win.

Ferguson led the distance of the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks main event for his first win of the season at Huset's Speedway. He became the seventh different winner in the division this year.

"It's been a terrible year and on this hot day I second guessed even wanting to come out," he said. "I'm so glad we did."

A trio of cautions in the second half of the feature bunched the field together, but Ferguson hit his marks consistently to win by 0.777 seconds.

Kinzer Glanzer finished second with points leader J.J. Zebell advancing from ninth to third. Garet Deboer placed fourth and 11th-starting Matt Steuerwald maneuvered to fifth.

The heat races were won by Ferguson, Tracy Halouska and Craig Hanisch.

The 2024 racing season at Huset's Speedway wraps up next weekend with a special three nights of action featuring the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series. On Friday, it's the Huset's Hustle presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking featuring the World of Outlaws and the final Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks race of the season. The World of Outlaws will return to the high-banked track on Saturday and Sunday for the BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by MENARDS.

King Scores in Ryder Memorial for BRP at Tri City Raceway Park; Spithaler, Wolbert, and Fielding also Prevail; Point Champions Named

(Franklin, PA August 25, 2024): The Rick and Rob Ryder Memorial was held at Tri City Raceway Park. It marked the first showdown between the BRP Modified Tour and the 21st Century Energy Group Modifieds. Getting the win at the end of forty laps, and $4,018 plus contingencies, was Rex King, Jr. This makes him the odds-on favorite in the double feature program that will be held over the Labor Day weekend.

Also picking up victories were Brandon Spithaler (Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars), Chas Wolbert (RUSH Modifieds), and Pat Fielding (Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks).

In addition, seasonal championships were announced for A.J. Flick (Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars, Chad Reitz (21st Century Energy Group Modifieds), Rod Laskey (Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks), and John Mollick (4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprint Cars).

King received the pole position in the re-draw. Next to him was Dr. Brad Rapp. Shannon Whaley and Jim Rasey were in row two, with Shawn Kosar and Will Thomas lined up in the third row. Row four belonged to Chas Wolbert, who was doing double duty, and Garrett Krummert. In row five, Mike Kinney was paired up with Erick Rudolph. Hayden Holden and Peter Britten made up row six.

Rapp got the edge entering turn one on the opening lap, and he cleared King coming off turn two. Rasey, Thomas, Rudolph, and Kozar followed. Rapp set a brisk pace in the opening laps, and King also separated himself from the battle for third between Rasey and Krummert.

A caution on lap nine for Colton Walters bunched the field back up again. However, Rapp was up to the task and he maintained his lead over King. Krummert secured third with Rasey, Rudolph, Thomas and Britten trailing.

After the race passed the quarter mark, King powered off turn two to take the lead from Rapp. They continued as the leaders, with Krummert and Rudolph battling for the third position. Britten moved into fifth by the time the field saw the crossed flags.

On lap twenty-five, a two car tangle involving Kyle Fink and Steve Feder in turn two required a red flag for the clean-up. At that time, King led Krummert, Rapp, Britten, Rudolph, and Thomas.

After the race resumed, Britten advanced to second. A caution for Ayden Cipriano halted the action on lap thirty-four.

It took a couple of tries to get the race going again. On the second try, Britten spun in two and collected Rapp, moving Krummert up to second for the restart.

Nonetheless, King resumed his lead over Krummert. Thomas raced along in third, followed by Tyler Willard and Rudolph.

A flagman’s caution on lap thirty-eight slowed the pace one last time. The culprit was Rasey, who was facing oncoming traffic but nevertheless managed to keep the car moving. Thus, he was awarded his position again despite the miscue.

King had the point for the single file restart and he completed the final two circuits without incident. Krummert took second, with Willard, Thomas, and Rasey in the top five. Rudolph, Wolbert, Dave Murdick, Whaley, and Kinney completed the top ten.

The BRP Modified Tour squared off against the 21st Century Energy Group Modifieds in four heat races. The checkers fell for Rex King, Jr., Chas Wolbert, Garrett Krummert, and Peter Britten. The B Main winner was Jeff Miller. Colton Walters captured the Dash.

In the Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars, Brandon Spithaler drew the pole, with Matt Farnham by his side. Chase Metheney and Bob Felmlee were in row two, followed by Dusty Larson and Mark Smith. Dale Blaney and last week’s winner, A.J. Flick made up row four. Jack Sodeman, Jr. and Michael Bauer occupied row five, with Jazlyn Boyles and Andy Cavanaugh in row six.

Farnham fought off Spithaler on the opening lap, with Felmlee, Metheney, Flick, Smith, and Sodeman racing ahead of Larson and Bauer. Larson brought out the first caution, on lap two.

Farnham retained the lead on the restart, but Spithaler was persistent. He searched high and low for an opportunity to pass, but nothing materialized. A caution for Boyles on lap seven bunched the field back up again.

Once again, Farnham raced out front under the green, but Spithaler was even more determined. He finally got by Farnham near the halfway mark. In the second half of the contest, Spithaler pulled away with ease. He did slack off a bit when he encountered lapped traffic, but his lead was so substantial that Farnham could not challenge for the win.

Spithaler took the checkers ahead of Farnham, Blaney, Flick, and Smith. Felmlee, Sodeman, Metheney, Bauer, and Michael Lutz, Jr. rounded out the top ten.

The pair of heat races for the Krill Recycling Sprint Cars went to A.J. Flick and Matt Farnham. There was no B Main.

In the RUSH Sportsmen Modifieds, Kole Holden jumped from second on the grid to lead the opening lap. He was scored ahead of Chas Wolbert and the pole man, J.C. Boyer. Ayden Cipriano and Brandon Ritchey followed.

A caution eight laps in for Troy McGregor bunched the field up, but Holden moved out to the lead again when the green lights came on. Four laps later, Wolbert powered ahead coming off turn two and he led the rest of the way to collect the win.

Wolbert, Cipriano, Holden, Karston King, and Ritchey made up the top five. Logen Lockhart, Todd English, Aaron Mulrouney, McGregor, and Boyer were the final finishers.

The pair of RUSH Sportsmen Modified heat races were won by Chas Wolbert and Kole Holden. There was no B Main.

Pat Fielding used the pole position to stake himself to an early lead in the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stock finale for the night. Rod Laskey raced from third to the lead several laps into the contest, but he spun on his own while leading to end his chances for the win.

Fielding was back in control for the restart and he completed the remaining laps without interference. Jason Black, Andrew Hammond, Russ Coyne, and Doug Iorio, II, completed the top five. Cody Koteles, aaron Smith, Dale Tuche, Ron Boardman, and Tony Spaghetti completed the top ten.

The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks also presented a couple of heats, which belonged to Pat Fielding and Jimmy Fosnaught. There was no B Main.

At the conclusion of the night’s racing, the unofficial point champions were recognized. Taking the top honors in the Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars was A.J. Flick for the third consecutive season. Bob Felmlee was second in the final standings. Andy Cavanaugh, Jeremy Weaver, and Bodey McClintock clinched top five positions. In the 21st Century Energy Group, it was Chad Reitz over Steve Slater. Brandon Ritchey, Erick Rudolph, and Hayden Holden rounded out the top five. The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stock title went to Rod Laskey over Pat Fielding. Josh Seippel, Doug Iorio, II, and Russ Coyne made the top five. The 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprint Car championship belonged to John Mollick.

SEASON LONG EFFORTS PAY OFF FOR WAGNER, MOORE, MARKHAM, COLLINS, AND TUCKE

By William Burkhart

Caleb Helms would make a return to Wayne County and start on the pole of the 25 lap Pine Tree Towing and Recovery Feature with points leader Leyton Wagner to his outside. Helms would jump out to the early lead. Wagner and Tyler Gunn in second and third respectively. Wagner would make a few efforts to get past Helms. He would try a slider on lap 4 but would slip and let the 91 of Gunn get by him. 17 to go Tyler Gunn would slide past the 40x of Helms and take over the lead. Gunn would slice and dice his way through lap traffic. Jordan Ryan would enter the mix on lap 13 to try and steal the track championship. Lap 15 Caleb Helms would eliminate the 8 tenth of a second lead that Tyler Gunn had to steal the lead back. Gunn would stay within half of a second of the Findlay Ohio Native. As hard as he would try Gunn couldn’t catch the 40 of Helms as he wins his first Wayne County feature in 2024 in his first visit. Tyler Gunn would be second and Leyton Wagner would finish third to collect his first Wayne County Speedway Track Championship.

Millersburg’s Mitch Caskey and Mansfield’s Dave Hornikel would lead the field to the green for the Malcuit Tavern UMP Late Models. Kyle Moore who had the championship clinched was offered to start 12th for a shot at a $500 bonus if he could win and excepted Jason’s challenge. Hornikel would jump up to the top side and take the opening lead. Coming around for lap 2 the field would get stacked up and bring out the first Bucks Auto Sales Yellow Flag of the evening. Back under the green Hornikel would get back to work. Moore would drive his Tye Twarog longhorn up to the second spot by lap 5. As he would catch the back of Hornikel another yellow would fly for Trace Settles spinning in turn 4. Back under the Green Moore would rip the lip and take over the lead. Behind them JR Gentry would make his way into the 6th spot after starting in the 16th position. Moore would run away with the race. As the laps ticked by Gentry would find his way into the third sport. Moore would open up close to a 6 second lead. As he came around to the checkers one car would spin setting up a one lap dash. With Nathan Loney on his tail Moore would run away from the field to pick up his 11th WCS win of 2024 and his first Malcuits Tavern UMP Late Model Championship. JR Gentry would sneak by Loney to go 16th to 2nd and Loney would take third.

The top 2 in Flynn’s Tire & Auto Service UMP Modifieds would make up the top to starting positions. Jimmy Humphrey would start on the pole with Ryan Markham to his outside. Markham would duke it out with Humphrey before getting by him at the flag stand on the opening lap. Markham would rip the lip with Jess Hartman behind him. Ryan Robey would spin in turn in 4 to bring out the first Bucks Auto Sales Yellow Flag of modified competition. Back under green flag action Markham would lead the field with Hartman all over his back bumper. Lap 5 would see another yellow for the Hood coming up on Daniel Sanchez’s machine. Back under green it would be a lot of the same story with Markham leading and Hartman in a very close battle. After another yellow we went back under the green with Markham still holding on to the lead. Hartman would try some big slider jobs to try and take over the lead. Lap 12 Casey Butler and Dustin Daugherty would get up to the 5 of Hartman. When it looked as if Markham would have the race in the bag a Yellow would fly once more for a spinning Ron Miller. Markham would choose the top side and get a great restart in the 2-lap shootout. Hartman would try slide job after slide job. On the last lap going into turn three Markham would tag the wall allowing Hartman to get along side him. The two would drag race to the line and Markham would beat Hartman by a 10th of a second to win the feature and his first Flynn’s Tire &Auto Service UMP Late Model Championship.

Johnny Bruce and Kyle Petit would lead the Joyride Transport field to the green for 12 laps. Justin Cranmore would jump out the early lead with Johnny Bruce running in second and points leader Anthony Collins in third. Yellow would fly for debris on lap 3. A few yellows would slow up action before Cranmore would lead the field to some green flag laps. Doug Hensel would find his way into the second spot and work on getting past the 2 machine with Anthony Collins behind him. Cranmore would stick to his line. Despite all efforts Hensel couldn’t by as Cranmore would pick up his 4th win of 2024 as third place finisher Anthony Collins would pick up his first career track championship.

Braden Tucke would start on the pole for the Glass House Super Stock feature with Kyle Moore to his outside for 15 laps of racing. Tucke would jump out to the early lead with Moore in hot pursuit. Tucke would run the middle line with Moore right around the wall. The two would run away from the field before Jim Nicley would spin to bring the Bucks Auto Sales yellow flag. Back under way the two would go back to their huge lead over the field. Moore and Tucke would duke it out until Moore would take the lead from Tucke with 5 laps to go. Moore would cruise off to the victory as Braden Tucke would win back to back championships in the Glass House Super Stocks.

Up next at Orrville's Historic Oval, Sunday September 1, the Pete Jacobs Memorial, $10,000 to win FAST on Dirt Sprints, along with Malcuit Tavern UMP Late Models, Flynn's Tire & Auto Service UMP Modifieds, and the Glass House Super Stocks.

Jason Barney Scores $3,000 at Autodrome Granby

By Curtis Berleue (Granby, QC) | On the first night of a two-night trip to Quebec for the Empire Super Sprints, it was Jason Barney sitting in victory lane. Worth $3,000, it was Barneys first victory at the Granby, Quebec track and his third win overall of 2024 on the tour.

Pinnacle Pole Award winner Logan Crisafulli jumped out to the lead on the initial green, though the field failed to complete a lap as the red flew for a flipping Matt Tanner in turns three and four.

On the restart, Crisafulli again jumped out to the lead, this time with Jason Barney in tow, moving up from his third starting position.

As the lap counter clicked 5 laps complete, Crisafulli had opened up a nearly two second advantage over Barney and third place Jordan Poirier. He would hold that lead until the second red of the even flew on lap 15, this time for Davie Franek who flipped after catching the inside wall in turns one and two.

When action resumed, Crisafulli’s night abruptly came to an end as he made contact with Barney entering turn one, bringing out another caution.

On the ensuing restart, Barney was able to quickly open a lead over Shawn Donath and Jordan Poirier, who were battling for second. With 5 laps remaining, Poirier took sole possession of second place as Donath began to slip backwards.

While Joe Trenca was able to get by Donath for third with three laps remaining, nobody had anything for the #87 of Barney, who picked up his third win of 2024.

“This isn’t exactly one I’m too proud of,” said Barney in victory lane. “I completely wiped Matt (Tanner) out, I just went in the corner on the start and had no brakes. I couldn’t feel any worse for him right now.”

“Logan, I thought I had position on him, I didn’t know he was there. Just not how I wanted to win a race. I feel bad for everybody.”

Jordan Poirier came home second, and Joe Trenca rounded out they Ashley Lynn Winery podium finishing in third.

In front of a packed house, the field was split into two timed hot lap groups with Logan Crisafulli and Matt Tanner earning Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards. E&V heat race wins went to Danny Varin and Jordan Poirer.

Jordan Poirier Picks Up Empire Super Sprints Win at Drummond

By Curtis Berleue (Drummondville, QC) | After years of trying, Jordan Poirier is finally an Empire Super Sprints winner in his home province of Quebec. The two time and defending champion has been close to a win in Quebec multiple times, and on Saturday night all of the stars aligned for Poirier as he picked up $3,000 for his efforts.

Bryan Cloutier was the Pinnacle Pole Award winner, and as such brought the field to green alongside of Alex Bergeron. Cloutier jumped out to the early lead and paced the field for the first eleven laps.

Behind Cloutier, Bergeron was holding steady in second with Logan Crisafulli in third, having a solid run for the second night in a row.

Quebec native and current points leader Jordan Poirier started in fifth and had slowly been picking off cars, moving into the top three on lap 6, and then getting by Bergeron for second on lap 7.

By lap 11, Poirier had the lead and never looked back, crossing the line first and picking up his first ESS win in his native province of Quebec.

“Tonight was somewhat of a dream,” said Poirier. “Tonight, everything was just going our way. We had a really good car at the beginning, felt good and that restart we were able to just get away.”

“It was so good to win in front of a crazy crowd like that.”

Logan Crisafulli came home second, a career best ESS finish for him.

“We found our way up, the engine wasn’t right the whole night,” said Crisafulli. “I just tried to keep going and going, and luckily is lasted the whole race.”

Shawn Donath rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third.

“Solid finish again tonight, third from seventh – the car was fast,” said Donath. “The 21 car changed his line the last lap, which helped us. Overall the car was great. We were good last night and then it broke. Tonight we were able to pick up where we left off.”

The field was split into three timed hot lap groups at the beginning of the night, with Jordan Poirier, Matt Tanner and Joe Trenca earning Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards. E&V Heat races were won by Jordan Porier, Alex Therrien and Joe Trenca.

Before the A-Main, Autodrome Drummond honored 8-time ESS Champion Steve Porier for his accomplishments in both a modified and sprint car. In addition to being tied for the most ESS Championships, Poirier is also the winningest driver in tour history with 77 wins.

Saturdays event at Drummond was the final event of the Coffrage 4 Saisons Canada Tour. Jordan Poirier is the 2024 tour champion.

The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is this coming Friday August 30th at the Brewerton Speedway in Fonda, NY where the tour will kick off a Labor Day weekend triple header. Saturday, the tour moves to the Fulton Speedway just up the road in Futon, NY and on Sunday the weekend concludes at the Utica-Rome Speedway in Vernon, NY.

NIENHISER FENDS OFF NEUMAN FOR MACON MOWA WIN
August 24, 2024 - Paul Nienhiser added another MOWA Sprint Car Series victory
to his resume on Saturday night, earning his second-career victory at the ⅕-mile
oval tying five-time series champion Jerrod Hull and the late Terry Babb.
Nienhiser started fourth in the 25-lap affair but knew that his #9X machine would
be in contention by the end. As the green flag fell over the field, a caution
happened just as quick as Corbin Gurley’s feature run ended before it began as
the left-front wheel broke completely away from the car, resulting in a DNF. On
the first attempt of starting the A-Main as the field powered down the backstretch,
Nienhiser had pulled alongside front-row starter Luke Verardi but had to revert
back to his original starting spot.
On the restart, polesitter Tyler Duff surged ahead and held command over the
field as the battle ensued behind him. Nienhiser was battling with Brayton Lynch
and Luke Veradi in the top three in the early stages of the A-Main. A yellow flag
for Zach Daum slowed the field once more and allowed Verardi and Nienhiser to
have Tyler Duff within reach. When the field returned to green flag conditions,
Nienhiser put his #9X on the top shelf of Macon Speedway and muscled his way
around Duff to take over the point. A yellow flag as the race neared the midpoint,
for Joel Myers that collected Brayton Lynch, Cory Bruns, and Joey Moughan
again bunched the field up. Myers, aboard the Hayward Motorsports #19
became the driver to watch, coming from the back of the field and quickly back
into the top five as laps continued to wind down. Nienhiser’s lead over the field
was starting to shrink as he worked into lapped traffic. Jake Neuman had worked
his way to second in the closing laps and pulled to Nienhsier’s rear bumper but
wasn’t able to overtake the Chapin, Illinois driver who made a last lap move past
Brayton Lynch to put a car between he and Neuman. Exiting turn two on the final
lap, Neuman worked past Lynch and came within striking distance but couldn’t
capitalize, as NIenhiser crossed under the checkers first. Jake Nueman finished
second with Joel Myers, Jr third, John Barnard fourth, and Kameron Key in fifth.
The finish:
A Feature 1 (25 Laps): 1. 9X-Paul Nienhiser[4]; 2. 3N-Jake Neuman[7]; 3. 19-Joel Myers Jr[9]; 4.

FLICK FLIES TO OVER $8,000 IN GILLILAND MEMORIAL WEST PA SPRINT CAR CHAMPIONSHIP; CIPRIANO WINS $1771 IN PRIESTER 602 CRATE MEMORIAL; V.JONES WINS 305s AND TITLE; HALEY EARNS 1st MINI STOCK WIN.

By Jim Balentine
(Mercer,Pa)

On a special Friday night lights, Michaels Mercer Raceway presented one of the biggest shows in their 73 year history on a beautiful late summer evening as fans packed the speedway for the running of the Jeff Gilliland Memorial Western Pennsylvania 410 sprint car championship presented by FASTonDIRT as well as the Al Priester memorial 602 crate modified event. 96 cars graced the pit area for the four division event.

The FASTonDIRT Western Pennsylvania sprint card championship race was held in memory of Jeff Gilliland who passed away at just 50 years old
Jeff loved the races, especially sprint cars. His grandfather Richard Hawley as well as Jeff's 2 uncles, Lloyd Hawley and Vern Hawley, and his cousin, Jimmy Hawley were all race car drivers locally.

For the $8000 to win Jeff Gilliland memorial West Pa. Sprint car championship feature twin state auto racing club hall of famers Jimmy Hawley and Gary Edwards would pace the 22 car field whittled down from the 32 cars in the pit area. Conner Morrell and Logan McCandless would lead the 30 lapper to green. Morrell would take the lead at the start but the race would go yellow as last years winner Bob Felmlee would spin up in turn 2. On the restart Morrell would again lead the way with AJ Flick driving the Bernie Steubgen #71 following in 2nd

The steel city outlaw Tim Shaffer making a rare Mercer appearance would be racing McCandless for 3rd before a yellow would fly again. Morrell would then again have a 1.7 second lead over Flick but on lap 10 Flick would go to the high side in turn 2 to take the lead. On lap 14 Zane DeVault would scrape the concrete wall on the frontstretch ending his night. Dale Blaney who started in 10th would methodically work his way through the pack moving up to fifth by lap 15.

McCandless would then start to challenge Shaffer for 3rd after a restart. Flick would open up a 3.1 second advantage over Morrell as the laps were winding down. 20 time Mercer winner Jack Sodeman Jr. would be holding strong running in 4th early in the race trying to catch Shaffer but as the laps were winding down Sodeman would fall back and with 3 laps to go would smack the inside tire in turn 3 ending his night. With the laps being run and with the accident a fuel stop was necessary. When the race resumed Flick would again take off and would pick up his biggest payday ever winning over $8,500 defeating Morrell by 1.885. McCandless would finish 3rd, Dale Blaney would get around Shaffer for 4th on lap 23 and Shaffer 5th.

A jubilant Flick would say “this is frickin’ awesome!!! these guys busted their butt for me tonight and owner Bernie (Steubgen) dialed it in and I am beyond thankful. The track widened out like I thought and I knew if I was in the lead they would have to come back to me. Bernie called me and asked me if I wanted to drive the #71 this week and I was so excited and everyone had to calm me down. Conner was ripping the top and I was around the bottom and I stayed on the bottom and into lapped traffic and I was able to complete the pass and stay out front. This is and blessing and special!! I’ve known Jimmy Hawley since I was young when I was moving up from street stocks I went to him for help and he gave me good advice and tonight he parked next to me and he came over and wished me good luck and was concerned about me when this night was about his family. The entire family is so important to racing and I hope I made them proud tonight!!

For the Al Priester memorial for the 602 crate modifieds 23 cars would take the green flag for a chance at $1771 to win. Don Cornelius and Al’s son Gage Priester would start on the front row with Priester leading the way for the first 8 laps. Ayden Cipriano would follow behind Priester until lap 9 when Cipriano made the winning move and would start to pull away.. but multiple cautions would bunch up the field. Brian Schaffer, Jeff Schaffer Sr., and Garrett Krummert who started 21st would battle throughout the field for 3rd,4th and 5th until Krummert took over 3rd on lap 11 and then would get around Priester for 2nd on lap 15 setting his sights on Cipriano. With the extended green flag session Cipriano was able to pull away and defeat Krummert by 3.18 seconds at the end collecting $1771 in his highest payday to date and his 4th career crate modified Mercer feature. Jeff Schaffer Sr was able to get around Priester for third on lap 19 and Cole Edwards was 5th. In the final point total leader Eric Gabany finished in 7th and was able to hold off Schaffer Sr. by 13 points to claim his 1st crate modified crown and his 2nd overall title. Cipriano would say , “it means a lot to win the Al Priester memorial especially when this is where it all started for me when I was 7 and I’ve run in all these divisions here and now that I’m in college I hope that I can race while I’m there and keep running in these and more big block modified races!”

The Racesaver 305 sprints would determine a track champion as well and it wouldn’t be decided until the checkered fell. Former champion Jarrett Rosencrance would start on the pole and lead the first 9 laps until 5th starting Vivian Jones would be able to get around for the lead. Veteran Andy Priest who started 11th would be up to 2nd by lap 15 getting around Rosencrance and set his sights on Jones. Nolan Groves would run the best race he has had at Mercer running a solid 3rd and 4th most of race also got around Rosencrance on lap 16. Rosencrance fell to 4th and James Pattock was 5th. Point leader Jake Gomola finished 8th and with the win by Jones catapulted Jones into the track championship by just one point!!! Andy Priest finished just 7 points behind in 3rd. A happy Vivian would say “it’s been such a great and emotional night!!it’s an honor to win in front of this huge crowd this is awesome!! We’ve been really good on the bottom and I was on it with the adjustments we made and it felt good!”

Devin Haley after being a bridesmaid so many times finishing in second finally got the monkey off his back and picked up his first career Mercer mini stock feature win worth $400 after winning his career first previously this season. The 2 top point men Carl Ealy and Corey Bice would start on the front row of the 22 car field but 4th starting Haley would take control immediately and lead all 15 laps. A red on lap 4 for a barrell roll by Linwood Thorne would halt the action. Thorne was ok. After the restart Corey Bice, Chaz Smith and Carl Ealy would swap positions back and forth but Smith would hold on to second after lap 7 to finish .870 behind Haley in his best finish. Bice would finish 3rd and Ealy fell to 4th with Chuck Davis 5th. Ealy would hang on to win the track championship by just 5 points over Haley while Bice would be 12 points behind. Haley would say, “I can’t believe it !! They say it’s hard to win your first one and then it’s easy and we are here!! I’m super pumped we had a rough start to the year but now we are here!! with the open rules it’s fair and it’s allowed us to win!”

WESTBROOK, COSTA, BEAGLE, AND ELSLIGER TAKE CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST WINS AT OHSWEKEN

Article Credit: Brent Otchere

OHSWEKEN, Ont. (August 23, 2024) – Pinewood Horticultural Services and Ontario Agra presented Christmas in August at Ohsweken Speedway on Friday; Dylan Westbrook, Jesse Costa, Ryan Beagle, and Jeff Elsliger took A-Main wins.

Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Cars
Liam Martin and D.J. Christie brought the 25 car field to the green flag for the 360 Sprint Car A-Main. Martin set the pace, leading the opening laps of the race and encountering traffic in just six laps. Christie brought out the red flag on lap seven with a violent solo flip off the track in turn three. Christie immediately pulled himself out of the wreck unharmed.

The restart saw Dylan Westbrook get the better of Martin and take the lead away. Unlike other times when Westbrook has taken the lead this season, he had to fight off a challenge for the win as Nick Sheridan proved to be a real threat. Sheridan was wheel-to-wheel with Westbrook in the closing stages of the race, but ultimately Westbrook was able to edge out Sheridan after a late restart and pull away for the win.

The triumph was a milestone for Westbrook, as it was his 40th A-Main victory in 360 Sprint Car competition at Ohsweken. Josh Hansen was able to squeak by Sheridan for second, while Sheridan settled for the final podium spot. Rounding out the top five were Martin and Matt Farnham.

Strickland’s Crate Sprint Cars
Brian Nanticoke started on pole with Al Sleight next to him for the 20 lap Crate Sprint Car A-Main. Nanticoke led the opening laps with Brett Stratford hot on his heels. The one and only caution flag came out when Keegan Baker came to a stop in turn one. Nanticoke was able to hold off the hard-charging Stratford initially after the restart, however Stratford overtook for the lead on lap eleven.

Once Stratford got the clean air, the handling went away for him and allowed Jesse Costa to close the gap. Costa took the lead in heavy traffic with seven laps to go and knifed through more traffic to lock down the win. The win was Costa’s 10th career Crate Sprint Car victory at Ohsweken and moved him into a tie with Ryan Hunsinger and Holly Porter for second on the all-time win list. Stratford was able to salvage a second place finish, with Brent Begolo finishing a close third. Steve Murdock finished in fourth, and Andrew Hennessy closed out the top five.

Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stocks
Logan Ferguson started on pole alongside Scott McPhail to take the green flag for the 20 lap Thunder Stock A-Main. Ferguson was only able to hold his pole position for a single lap as Donny Lampman found himself leading by lap two. Lap three saw a caution flag, allowing Ryan Dinning to become the third leader of the race after a superb restart. Dinning’s lead was cut short due to another caution, which allowed Zach Bleich to take over out front after the restart.

The racing began to heat up as the leaders were racing five wide, displaying their talent and car control. The spectacular racing came to a halt when a red flag was thrown due to Kyle Andress hitting the inside wall in turn four and barrel rolling. Andress was unharmed in the accident. The closing laps had a three-way battle for the lead between Ryan Beagle, Adam Plazek, and Dave Bailey. A late restart saw Beagle get the better of his competition and take his 18th career Thunder Stock win at Ohsweken. Next to cross the line were Bailey in second, Plazek third, Ron Loggie fourth, and Bleich fifth.

HRW Automotive Mini Stocks
The front row of the grid featured Nick Erskine and Jeff Elsliger to begin the 15 lap Mini Stock A-Main. Elsliger proved to be the one to beat at the drop of the green flag, easily putting over a one second gap on the field. Fabio Olivieri came to a stop on lap five, bringing out the caution flag. Elsliger stood tall to the task, leading again after the restart.

Ken Hair tried to set up an overtake on Elsliger, but his efforts were thwarted by an untimely caution when Olivieri stopped on the track again. Elsliger timed the restart perfectly with just three laps to go, managing to lead every lap and take his fourth career Mini Stock win at Ohsweken. Following Elsliger were Hair in second, Tim DeBoer third, Nick Erskine fourth, and Alex Riley fifth.

Up Next at Ohsweken Speedway
I.L.A Sports and Brant County Tire present Back to School Back Pack Night on Friday, August 30, featuring the Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Cars, Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stocks, and HRW Automotive Mini Stocks. Visit www.ohswekenspeedway.ca for more information.

MARATHON:Tyler Ross scores second URC Win of 2024 and Cuts the Points Lead to 5 after a War of Attrition at Big Diamond

Written by Bert Wojcik

Every now and again you get a race that sets the entire season on its head and throws the biggest wrench into what might have been a near sure thing. That was Big Diamond on Friday night. The United Racing Club made its 38th appearance at the Schuylkill county 3/8th mile oval for its last race in Pennsylvania for the 2024 season. After what felt like a marathon, Lincoln University’s Tyler Ross scored his second URC win of the season and is now within 5 points of Josh Weller with 2 races left in 2024.
The feature started with Seth Schnoke and Cody Fletcher on the front row. The highside was the place to be as Cody Fletcher would take the early lead and lead the first lap. Coming to complete the 2nd lap Kyle Smith would explode a right rear and caution would wave. This is where the shenanigans would begin. On the restart. Cody Fletcher fired too early and would get sent back a row for a jump start. That would move JT Ferry to the front row and he would choose the high side to take the lead. Caution would then fly as Jake Galloway would bring out the caution. On the restart would see Ferry get around Schnoke. And some hot and heavy racing was happening behind them. Tyler Ross would find his way around Schnoke for the 2nd spot.

Fletcher would hit a yuke tire and would fall back before calling it a night with a broken front end. We would stay green when current URC Points leader Josh Weller would catch the wall going into turn one and go upside down. He would be uninjured. On the restart Ross would get around Ferry on the restart and complete the lap but the caution would fly immediately as Schnoke’s right nose wing panel would come off in the racing line by the flag stand.

On the restart Ross would get the lead and pull away from Ferry. Jordan Thomas was all over the back side of Ferry. He would hold him off for the moment as Ross pulled away. The night would go from bad to worse for Schnoke after losing the left front nose wing panel and he would come to a stop on the front stretch and call it a night.

On the restart. Thomas would get around Ferry. Then Brett Wanner would get a run to get around Ferry. Ferry would send it in too hard into turn 3 and spin out into the turn 3 wall doing some damage to the rear end of the car calling it a night. That would trigger an open red.
Restart would come out with 8 laps to go. Wanner would try to close on Thomas on the restart but couldn't get around him as Thomas would close in but couldn’t make the pass. He would close in on Ross but caution would come out. An awful night for 2nd in points Reese Nowotarski would get even worse as he would lose his second motor of the night. The broke a camshaft in hot laps and missed the heat race. Now with 5 laps to go the 2nd motor would expire on the 10x of Nowotarski with 5 laps to go.
On the final restart Ross would pull away. But wasnt as good in 3 and 4 as Jordan Thomas was but better in turns 1 and 2 and that was enough for Ross to pull away and claim his second win of the URC season.
“Points is what Bob wants, “ Said Ross in victory lane afterwards. “ Unfortunately I'm going to miss a race soon here with other commitments. But Bob and the entire crew worked their tails off to get this car where I needed it to be. I didn't want Jordan (Thomas) to get around me. That kid is fast. But the yellows fell our way at the end and got the clean air. We had Big Diamond circled on the calendar. We always run so well here.”

But the darling of the night had to be Brett Wanners drive from 10th to 3rd. He had a chance to have a good run at Baps go awry but Big Diamond definitely made up for it. “I’m feeling really good after tonight.” Wanner said with the help of his interpreter as Brett is deaf. “ I've only been in the car 4 times this year and I'm extremely happy to get 3rd here tonight. I didn't feel like I was strong enough. Could of used a gear change but We’ll take third place for the night.
The United Racing Club will be back in action on Friday September 6th for the annual trip to The Georgetown Speedway in Georgetown Delaware.

Friday, Aug. 23, 2024

By Brian Liskai

ATTICA, Ohio – Cale Thomas and Cap Henry have battled each other hard in 410 sprint car racing in North Central Ohio in 2024. Friday night, Aug. 23 at Attica Raceway Park was no different. The pair traded slide job after slide job throughout the 30-lap feature on Wilson Tire/Central Ohio Farmers Night with Thomas executing the final one in the final set of turns on the final lap to score his fourth win of the year at Attica by a mere .078 seconds over Henry.

The win is Thomas’ seventh overall victory of 2024 and the sixth career win at Attica and vaults him back into the point lead at Attica Raceway Park over Henry, who is the track’s defending Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprint champion. The victory also pads Thomas’ lead in the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group over Henry who is the series’ defending champion. There’s just one race left in that series coming Sept. 7 at Fremont Speedway.

The first portion of the race was marred by numerous crashes with TJ Michael leading the first lap before Thomas took over and led until Henry took over on lap 10. Thomas regained the lead with eight laps to go only to see Henry back in front a lap later, setting up the exciting last lap pass by Thomas for the win.

“I kind of gave up on the high side when I saw Cap on the restart through the middle trying to protect and honestly it hurt me on the restart going into turn three and that’s when he threw the slide job on me. He saw me right before lapped traffic underneath him and I think I scared him into thinking I was back running through the middle like I normally do here. I’ve been watching a lot of the guys out in California so tried my best impression of them tonight. I just didn’t give up the top because that was the only way I could get a run,” said Thomas beside his Jay Kiser Racing, Spanky’s Pizza, Shelluke’s Bar and Grill, Automatic Fire Protection; Ohio Refrigeration, Ohio Heating, Engler Machine, BH 41, TMH Holdings, Berryman Racing Shocks, Keizer Wheels backed #23.

Collin Shipley lead he opening lap of the 25-lap Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model feature before Mike Bores took over. With 10 laps to go Bores was challenged by Kyle Moore who came into the night having won the last four features at Attica. Moore took the lead on lap 17 but during a caution retired to the pits. Bores lead the rest of the way to score his first win of 2024, the eighth late model victory of his career at Attica over Nathon Loney, Todd Brennan, Ryan Markham and Devin Shiels.

“The old 15B is back. All the guys at Black Diamond Chassis, Keith and Brendon at After Burner Performance…we went through a whole week with my chassis guy and it paid off said Bores of his Roeder’s Racing Service; Stein Honey, UUI; Burns Electric; Truck Worx of Ohio, Cam-Tech, After Burner Performance backed machine.

It’s been a very frustrating season for Paul Weaver. Attica’s six time Fremont Fence 305 Sprint track champion was winless at the track where he had accumulated 73 career total wins to lead all drivers in the history of the track. But it all came together for the Fremont, Ohio driver Friday. After Blayne Keckler lead the first nine laps and Dustin Stroup laps 10-14, Weaver took over and drove away for his first victory of the year at Attica. It’s his 71st career 305 sprint victory and 74th including his 410 wins at the track.

“It’s been frustrating trying to figure out this new clay here. It’s the same stuff as Fremont on Attica is a lot faster. Last time I was here this car got bent and Beaber fixed it and I bought a few new parts and changed up a little bit and Daniel decided to do a lot different stuff than we normally did. Tonight I could run anywhere on the track,” said Weaver beside his Steve Brown’s B&B Drain Service, Hampshire Racing Engines, M&L Excavating, Seagate Sandblasting backed #1W.

Attica Raceway Park will be back in action for the Attica Ambush, Friday and Saturday, Aug. 30 and 31. The FAST On Dirt Series 410 sprints will be in action Friday in a $6,000-to-win/$500 to start affair with the UMP Late Models going for $2,000 to win. On Saturday the 410 sprints will battle for $6,000 to win/$500 to start and the 305 sprints will go for $1,200 to win. There’s free camping for the fans all weekend.

WELCOME TO THE CLUB: TROMBLEY’S 14TH CAREER WIN TIES HIM FOR FIRST ON ALL-TIME WIN LIST

Race Report By: Marty Czekala | August 24, 2024 |

BREWERTON, N.Y. – Jeff Trombley worked hard for over two years to join an elite group in CRSA.

This season, he has had many opportunities to taste victory, but engine issues soured him at Afton and Fonda, and he fell short of a win.

Not tonight, though.

The driver of the No. 3A survived a myriad late-race restarts at Brewerton Speedway and led from flag to flag to score his 14th career win, tying him with Danny Varin, Scott Goodrich, and Josh Pieniazek for first on the all-time win list.

"Anytime you win, it's a good feeling," said Trombley in victory lane. "It’s been a frustrating year. The guys have been giving me a great car all year. We’ve been running good, just got to finish.”

Trombley started outside pole next to Timmy Lotz for Brewerton's inaugural CRSA 25-lap feature. The former would run away with the early lead while Lotz, Tomy Moreau and Billy VanInwegen would battle for second.

"Billy V" moved up to second on lap 14, decreasing Trombley's lead from 2.4s to 1.8s before the race's first yellow a lap later for iFreeze B-Main winner Tyler Emmons off the pace.

In the three-lap average before the yellow flew, VanInwegen’s No. 56V averaged 15.282s to 15.795s from Trombley.

On the next two restarts in the 10-lap dash, Trombley held serve with VanInwegen on his tail. Whenever the No. 3A took the white flag or even the checkered flag, a problem behind him would happen, whether it was Lance Dusett’s flip on the back straight or Dalton Herrick's spin in turn two.

Ultimately, Trombley ran away with the better car in the short run to score his first win of 2024 and the illustrious 14th career win he'd been waiting for.

“I knew the car was good on the short run, I was really confident,” said Trombley. “I knew Billy was behind me, so I knew where he would try to keep getting me."

Billy VanInwegen records his third runner-up finish of the season after a pair of seconds at Thunder Mountain. If the race went caution-free, could the story be “Billy V” in victory lane?

“I had the lead in my sights,” said VanInwegen. “The last thing I wanted to see was that yellow. I think we were two car lengths back. In clean air, we had nothing for him. I tried a couple different things [in the final laps], just couldn’t find anything to make the magic happen.”

While that was the top two, the battle for third heated up at the end. While Tyler Graves and Tomy Moreau were racing hard, they were stunned by Zach Sobotka, who made his third career CRSA start in the No. 10VC typically driven by Vince Chicklets. Sobotka ripped the top side of his Friday night home in Sportsman to steal the bottom step of the podium.

“I was rolling in the bottom in the beginning,” said Sobotka, the 2021 Super DIRT Week champion in Sportsman. “Everyone was bottled up on the bottom, so I went to the top and could hold it wide-open. I knew it was fast as I was passing cars. It’s hard to get used to not knowing how a sprint car is supposed to drive, but must’ve been fast.”

Sobotka was awarded the Maguire Family of Dealerships Magnificent Move of the Race with his move.

With his fifth-place finish, Tomy Moreau increases his trend of top fives to five straight and extends his points lead to 30 on Kyle Pierce. Dalton Herrick remains third but falls 44 points behind the No. 22.

Dillon Paddock received the Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger of the Race, gaining 14 spots to finish 10th after starting 24th.

34 drivers checked in tonight for the inaugural race. Thanks to iFreeze Storage and Distribution Center and Westward Painting Company, drivers who didn't make it to the feature received more money than usual.

"The Future Stars of Sprint Cars" take Labor Day Weekend off and return Sept. 7 at Weedsport Speedway as part of Cavalcade Weekend in round three of the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge. Fans unable to make it can tune in on DIRTVision.

Adjustments propel Foos to 305 Fair Race win at Fremont

By Brian Liskai

FREMONT, Ohio – An open red gave DJ Foos and his crew the opportunity they needed to fine tune on his Merrill-owned 305 sprint car. The changes made to the set-up propelled Foos to the lead with just 10 laps to go as he cruised to the $2,500 win at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction on Fremont Fence Night to open the Sandusky County Fair.

“That was pretty hairy. A lot of action tonight. The best car probably didn’t win tonight but man, Kevin Osmolski, on that red, he put the super tune on it. It was like a brand new race car…it felt so good. I’m just so happy for the Merrill family, Matt and Michelle and their son Madden. I get the opportunity to drive Madden’s car…his dad built him a really good race car. I’m really excited to finally getting a win. We’ve been getting closer and closer but just couldn’t seal the deal. Hopefully this is a step in the right direction,” said Foos beside his Kash Kow Motorsports, Snyder’s Floor Covering, Adkinson Farms, Wagner Seed, NAPA of Bryan, Foster Auto Body, Handy Grafix, Berryman Racing Shocks, Kistler Race Products backed #39M.

Zeth Sabo jumped to the early lead in the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint 30-lap feature with Bryan Sebetto, Kasey Jedrzejek, Dustin Stroup and Foos in tow. Lead until caution on lap 14. Once the race resumed Sebetto executed a slider for the lead at the half-way point. Sabo tried to return the favor in turns one and two and contact was made sending Sabo and Sebetto flipping and handing the lead to Stroup.

A crash on lap 20 involving four cars brought out about an open red. On the restart Foos pounced, driving into the lead over Stroup, Craig Mintz, Jedrzejek and John Ivy. Foos pulled away the final five laps for the win over Mintz, Stroup, Jedrzejek and Ivy.

Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, Sept. 7 with the championship night for the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by the Baumann Auto Group for the 410 sprints and the NAPA of Bryan AFCS presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales for the 305 Sprints. The Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks will also be in action.

Heath Returns to 410 Racing with Skagit Speedway Sweep

8/17/24

By Kaleb Hart

Alger, WA - It’s been over a decade since Colton Heath was a full time competitor in the Karmart 410 Sprint division at Skagit Speedway. On Saturday night, Heath returned to the class and served notice that his run as a fill in driver for Dynes Racing will be memorable as he made a clean sweep of the night and took home a $5,000 pay day for his efforts.

With their normal driver, Justin Youngquist, nursing injuries sustained at the Summer Nationals, Dynes Racing tapped Heath to fill in for 410 competition for the rest of 2024. On Saturday night, the decision looked brilliant as Colton rolled to quick time, won his heat from fourth and led every lap of the main event to complete the sweep in the Karmart 410 Sprint Cars. Jason Solwold made late gains with Heath in traffic, but at the checkered flag it was Colton ahead of Jason and Robbie Price to fill out the podium. Price was the other heat race winner on the night.

360 Sprints were also on the card and a total of eight drivers did double duty on the night. When the dust settled on the 360 feature, it was Levi Klatt taking the victory after leading all thirty laps from the pole position. Dominic Scelzi moved his way to second but ran out of time to run down Klatt, who enjoyed his first 360 win at Skagit Speedway. Robbie Price ran third. Levi Hillier set fast time, while Levi Kuntz, Sclezi and Price won the heat races.

Mike Guffey was also a first time feature winner on the night, as he led every lap of the Hornet main event. Guffey went unchallenged in driving away from Howard Vos and Wyatt Covert for his first career win. Brian Michelson set fast time, while heat race wins went to Guffey and Covert.

Kruz Kepner goes high for Path Valley win
08-19-2024

Sometimes you just have to stand out in the crowd.

The field for Saturday’s River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series feature at Path Valley Speedway was hugging the inside of the quarter-mile bullring, so Kruz Kepner went high, made the outside work, and earned the checkered flag for the 25-lap IMCA/RaceSaver event.

The sixth-year veteran from Kreamer worked hard to make his Goods Consstruction/Hill Top Lawn Care/S&L Kreamer Trucking #19 work near the top of the high-banked oval, but it paid off, enabling him to slip past rookie Kyle Hart of Thompsontown on lap 15. Hart was looking for his first PASS win in only his ninth start, but he couldn’t get his car through lapped traffic at the bottom.

Nor, for that matter, could anyone else, except the winner, who took the checkered flag by 1.363 seconds.

Drew Young of Beaver Springs passed Hart on the last lap to take second place, with Hart finishing a career-best third.

Jarrett Cavalet of Hollidaysburg came from ninth starting position to finish fourth, with Austin Greenland of MIroy posting a PASS career-best fifth.

Timmy Bittner, Ian Cumens, Zach Rhodes (fastest in hot laps), Ken Duke Jr., and Kenny Heffner completed the top ten.

For Duke, the finish extended his streak of having top-tens in all but one of his 15 PASS starts this year, and he had to come from 15th starting position to do that. The performance earned him the W.C. Eshenaur & Son Hard Charger Award.

Cavalet had the second-best charge, advancing five spots, and he had to do that because he had the worst redraw for a feature starting position. That, however, had a silver lining, because the poor pill draw won him a new tire from Hoosier Tire Mid Atlantic.

The night’s other lemonade-from-lemons award went to veteran Mike Alleman, who took home a case of oil from VP Racing Fuels for the worst pill draw for heat race starting positions.

The feature ran non-stop, taking less than five-and-a-half minutes to complete, which led to intense battling in the field. It also maintained a streak of clean action for the night: PASS racing only required one yellow flag, brought out when Paul Moyer spun the second heat race, collecting Jeff Paulson and Owen Dimm. All resumed racing, and every car among the 23 on hand completed its heat still running.

In the feature, Dimm fell to the rear before the start, indicating mechanical problems, and he pulled off after one lap. John Walp, who dropped out two-thirds of the way through the feature, was the only other non-finisher.

Cavalet, Bittner, and Hunter McFadden won the heat races.

The race was only the second completed at Path Valley this year for the River Valley Builders PASS tour, with two rainouts, and the weather was threatening Saturday. The IMCA/RaceSaver teams have run at “the little track with the big action” more than anywhere else in their 26-year history, and they return two more times in 2024, on September 21 and October 19.

Next weekend, the River Valley Builders PASS racers are at BAPS Motor Speedway on Saturday night.

PASS is dedicated to the heritage of RaceSaver with stable and enforceable rules, consistent rules application and fair purse distribution paying 24th place one half of first place.

VanInwegen Pockets $5,000 for Cole Cup Victory at Utica Rome

By Curtis Berleue (Vernon, NY) | After breaking into victory lane a few weeks ago, Billy VanInwegen became a repeat winner in 2024 with the Empire Super Sprints on Saturday. Earning $5,000 for his victory, VanInwegen joined a short list of drivers who have gone to victory lane in the Cole Cup.

As Matt Farnham and Danny Varin brough the field to the initial green flag, it was Farnham who took the early advantage down the backstretch. His lead was short lived, however, as Varin slid him going into turn 3 and would be officially credited with the lap.

A caution on lap two slowed the field, and on the ensuing restart Farnham got took the lead using the high side to his advantage. Unfortunately for Farnham, however, the caution flew again before a lap was completed undoing his efforts yet again.

By virtue of a caution directly following a restart, the field lined up single file for the restart, and this time Varin was able to open up a lead over Farnham. Behind the lead duo, Jonathan Preston followed comfortably in third, with Jordan Thomas and Billy VanInwegen battling for the fourth position.

By lap 12, VanInwegen had gotten by Thomas for fourth. Using a double file restart to his advantage, he then moved past both Preston and Farnham just one lap later to take second.

Behind Varin and VanInwegen, Davie Franek had been quietly working his way through the field from his 9th starting position. With 6 laps to go, Franek moved into a podium position, getting by Farnham for third.

Misfortune struck on lap 19 for Varin, as he ran out of fuel as the red flag came out for Joe Kata who had flipped in turns one and two. As such, each driver moved up one position as he relinquished the lead, making VanInwegen the leader with Franek in second and Farnham in third.

With three laps to go Jordan Poirier slid Farnham for third, but the leaders were too far gone. As the field crossed the checkered, it was VanInwegen picking up the win.

“There was nothing comfortable about that last lap,” said VanInwegen in victory lane. “I ran out of fuel with about a lap or a lap and a quarter to go, it was spitting and sputtering.”

“We had a really good car from the drop of the green, any time we could make up a little ground it seemed like the yellow would come out and put us back. A lot of guys ran out of fuel, we did too, we just had enough to get to the checkered.”

Crossing the line second was Davie Franek, coming all the way from the 6th row.

“Our car was pretty decent, it’s just tough starting 11th,” said Franek. “You battle, battle, battle and by the time you get to the good guys up front your stuffs just about wore out.”

“We could have been a little better at the beginning of the race, we always struggle with that. We were neck and neck on that restart, but he (VanInwegen) did what he had to do, and those guys work hard at it so congratulations to them.”

Rounding out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium was Jordan Poirier.

“It feels super good to finish third,” said Poirier. “At the beginning of the feature I didn’t expect to be moving forward, but we were really good on restarts. I was good on the bottom, decent on the top and I could maneuver my car. Fourteenth to third, I can’t complain about that.”

25 cars signed in for the 2024 version of the Cole Cup, and as such the field was split into three timed hot lap sessions. Picking up Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards were Billy VanInwegen, Jordan Thomas and Sammy Reakes IV. E&V Energy heat wins went to Logan Crisafulli, Robbie Stillwaggon and Davie Franek, while the Cobra Coaches dash was won by Shawn Donath.

The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is this coming Friday August 23rd at the Autodrome Granby in Granby, Quebec, followed by Autodrome Drummond in Drummondville, Quebec on Saturday August 24.

Ayrton Gennetten Retains Victory with POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints at Missouri State Fair Speedway

Sedalia, MO. (8/18/24) Ayrton Gennetten would defend his throne as the Missouri State Fair Champion with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint in the Show-Me-State Throwdown Finale presented by Start2Finish TV to notch his sixth career league victory and pocket the $5K-payday in an outstanding feature event at the historic half mile of Sedalia.

Flying onto the smooth surface with twenty talented entrants of the POWRi 410’s would see Brian Brown set a quick qualifying time of 17.130-second lap with Gunner Ramey and Kameron Key each earning heat racing victories.

Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Blake Hahn and Ayrton Gennetten lined up in the front row as Blake Hahn would gain the lead on the opening lap with Brian Brown, Ayrton Gennetten, Kameron Key, and Gunner Ramey all raced within the top five.

Holding the lead just past the half way point would find Blake Hahn battling Brian Brown for the top position with Brian Brown able to capitalize for the lead on lap twelve with Ayrton Gennetten following suite into the runner up placement.

Leading the next five revolutions, Brian Brown would feel the presence of defending league champion Ayrton Gennetten right behind him as the laps began to wain in front of the packed capacity crowd.



Overtaking the top spot with four laps remaining, Ayrton Gennetten would not be denied in earning his third seasonal POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed main event with Brian Brown hustling into the runner-up position late.

“It was so tough on that first start and I could have timed it better but then again I wouldn’t have been in the position needed to win tonight,” said Ayrton Gennetten in the Sedalia Missouri victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “Brian gave me a lane off of four and I took it, I rode the wheelie off of four but I wasn’t lifting”.

Challenging closely behind would find leader of eleven laps Blake Hahn placing on the final podium placement from the starting pole on the initial green flag. Gunner Ramey would be among the frontrunners all feature to fourth as Kameron Key would round out the top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints in the 2024 Missouri State Fair Finale event at Missouri State Fair Speedway.

Paul Nienhiser Picks Off Peoria with Sprint Invaders!
by Bill Wright

Peoria, IL, August 17, 2024 – Paul Nienhiser won for the second year in a row at Peoria Speedway Saturday night with the Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders. The Chapin, Illinois driver earned $2,000 for his twentieth career win with the series aboard the Scott Bonar #50. Nienhiser also cemented his point lead with the Sprint Invaders, after a Friday night that saw him get upside down at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa.

As the field assembled for the 25-lap feature, rain began to fall. The cars stayed on the track for several laps, ironing in the surface. As a result, the race was shortened to 20 laps. The track was dry in the heats and heading into the feature, so the rains changed the track considerably, at least for the first several laps.

It took four tries to get the racing underway. Riley Scott spun on the first try, Tyler Shoemaker stopped with throttle issues on the second, and Ryan Bunton tipped over on the third, collecting Colton Fisher and Preston Perlmutter. The latter two restarted at the tail, though Perlmutter had severe wing damage.

Cody Wehrle, who had won the Dash, led early from the pole once things went green for good, ahead of Nienhiser, Chase Richards, Terry McCarl and Austin Archdale. Nienhiser sized the leader up and took the point on lap four before Tyler Lee slowed to bring out the last caution of the race.

Nienhiser led Wehrle, Richards, McCarl and Archdale back to green. Fisher, who restarted at the tail after his incident entered the top five by lap eight. Nienhiser was into lapped cars by lap 11. McCarl overtook Richards for the third spot on lap 13, and Fisher gained fourth late in the going.

Up front, Nienhiser separated himself from the pack and blazed his way to the win. Wehrle was second, ahead of McCarl, Fisher and Chase Richards. Archdale, Blaine Jamison, McCain Richards, Tanner Gebhardt and Scott rounded out the top ten. Chase Richards and Perlmutter won heats, and Wehrle claimed the Dash.

“We really weren’t planning on (the rain) to start the feature,” said Nienhiser in Victory Lane. “We’d been working on stuff since hot laps. Scott made some adjustments that we thought were going to help us in the slick. Honestly, it may have helped us in the tacky. I know some guys were probably too tight. Bunton got up on the bicycle and got torn up. We had a little bit of luck. This was a good way to end the weekend.”

“It’s good to start on a track that was conducive to racing early,” said Wehrle. “We can’t seem to draw worth a diddle, and we’ve struggled to make the Dash. We have a car that races well. It’s so frustrating losing to Paul, but I don’t know that there’s anyone else that I’d rather lose to than Paul and Scott and all the wisdom they have. I know they had a rough Friday and a rough month, so happy for them, and bummed for our guys.”

“I thought the rain might be tough,” said McCarl. “We tightened up a lot after the heat. We were way too loose in the heat race. I was happy to get through the first two or three skirmishes, and I felt maneuverable. It actually slicked off pretty quick and we got going. The car really came to me towards the end, and we were able to get to third and reel in second a little bit. All in all, we had a good night. I think we won the (car owner point fund sponsored by Avis and Budget Car Rental of Burlington) for the two nights for Jimmy (Davies), so that was good too.”

The Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders conclude their season on, Saturday, September 28, with the $5,000 to win “Fall Haul” at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa. For more information on the Sprint Invaders, visit www.SprintInvaders.net or visit us on Facebook.

Xavier Doney Excels with POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint Victory at Lucas Oil Speedway

Wheatland, MO. (8/17/24) Xavier Doney would nearly perfect the night with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint in the Summer Thunder presented by Start2Finish TV to notch his inaugural league victory and pocket the $5K payday in an outstanding feature event at Lucas Oil Speedway.

Flying onto the smooth surface with twenty-two talented entrants of the POWRi 410’s would see Xavier Doney set a quick qualifying time of 13.638-second lap with Noah Gass, Gunner Ramey, and Miles Paulus each earning heat racing victories.

Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Xavier Doney and Gunner Ramey lined up in the front row as Xavier Doney would gain the lead on the opening lap with Gunner Ramey, Blake Hahn, Kyle Bellm, and Ayrton Gennetten all raced within the top five.

Holding steady up front while stretching a commanding two-second lead, Xavier Doney would appear to be a class by himself for most of the night as great battling action would take place behind the front-running Doney with Blake Hahn and Kyle Bellm attempting to keep pace as the laps ticked away rapidly.

Xavier Doney would not be denied in earning his first career POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed thirty lap main event after leading every step of the way with Ayrton Gennetten hustling into the runner-up position late.

“The top was about as thin as it gets with it being pretty treacherous,” said Xavier Doney in the Wheatland Missouri victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “I was fortunate to be in clean air and recover pretty easy after overcooking it a couple of times.”.

Challenging closely behind would find Blake Hahn placing on the final podium placement as Kyle Bellm would be among the frontrunners all feature to fourth as Miles Paulus would round out the top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints in the Summer Thunder event at Lucas Oil Speedway.

Schatz and Thram Capture FENDT Jackson Nationals Championships at Jackson Motorplex

Inside Line Promotions - JACKSON, Minn. (Aug. 17, 2024) - Donny Schatz and Christopher Thram are FENDT Jackson Nationals champions after both drivers earned the coveted win on Saturday during the 46 th edition of the marquee event at Jackson Motorplex.

Schatz led the distance of the 35-lap World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series main event to record the $25,000 top prize. It marked his first FENDT Jackson Nationals title since 2018 and his fourth career World of Outlaws triumph at the track.

"All I can say is if you're a fan it's a good time to be alive," he said. "It makes me damn proud to race with guys like Sheldon (Haudenschild) and Carson (Macedo). Not only are they awesome, but they make the old guys like me better. I'm happy to steal one from them tonight."

Although Schatz led each lap, a close call came on Lap 12 when two drivers collided directly in front of him in turns one and two. As the drivers spun to a stop, Schatz split them to dodge the crash and keep the top spot. He was strong in traffic and held more than a one-second lead entering the last lap.

Haudenschild, who passed David Gravel for the runner-up position on Lap 28, pounded the cushion and rapidly closed on Schatz as the checkered flag was waved. He made up more than one and a half seconds in the final three laps, finishing second by only 0.175 seconds.

"Donny did a hell of a job," he said. "He did it the easy way and I was definitely doing it the sketchy way. It's fun racing Donny. He's the best at it. I'm happy with our speed this weekend and looking forward to next."

Gravel drove to a third-place outing for the second straight night to maintain the lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings.

"The top in (turns) one and two was pretty good early on," he said. "I felt I was right there on (Schatz's) right rear, but just not able to get around him. In the middle of that race I struggled in (turns) one and two where I felt good. I wish I could get three or four laps back. I think we were really, really close. I think the top three could have gone any way there. The track didn't go the way I expected it. The grip went away a lot faster than I thought. A top three here this weekend is way better than last year."

Aaron Reutzel was the fourth-place finisher and Emerson Axsom placed fifth.

Landon Crawley set quick time during qualifying before Gravel, Reutzel, Logan Schuchart and Haudenschild produced heat race wins. Schatz won the King of the Hill and Crawley was the Last Chance Showdown winner.

Thram led the final two thirds of the 25-lap, $5,000-to-win Gunderson Racing Inc. Midwest Sprint Touring Series 360 Sprint Cars A Main.

"This is really cool," he said. "It's not a 410 championship, but 360 championships are just as much competition. It's great to get a win here."

Blaine Stegenga held the top spot for the first nine laps before Thram, who advanced from fourth to second place in turns one and two during the opening lap, maneuvered into the lead two laps after traffic arrived. He quickly built a nearly two-second lead and held that advantage when a caution came out on Lap 22. Thram once again powered to a sizeable lead following the restart as he won by 1.728 seconds.

"I was kind of guessing which way Sam and Blaine would go," he said of the start. "They left the top open. Blaine got hung up by a couple of lapped cars there and I think that kind of sealed the deal. I'm glad I could get through it well and get the win."

Reutzel, who drew the pole position during the feature redraw and took a challenge that would have provided him a $3,000 bonus if he could win the race from eighth, drove into fourth place by the midpoint of the feature. He took third on Lap 15 and second following the late-race restart.

Stegenga rounded out the podium for his best result of the season at Jackson Motorplex.

"I tried to run the bottom," he said. "I started getting hung up by lappers. I got up there and a little bit in the dirty air. I saw Thram on my inside and I thought, 'Oh boy, here we go.' It feels good to be up front."

Sam Henderson finished fourth and Kaleb Johnson posted a fifth-place result.

The heat races were won by Scott Winters and Brant O'Banion.

Sabo earns 1st 410 win of the year at Attica; Moore claims 4th straight late model victory; Sebetto gets third 305 win

Friday, Aug. 16, 2024

By Brian Liskai

ATTICA, Ohio – Zeth Sabo led wire to wire but had to withstand a big challenge from defending track champion Cap Henry late in the race to score his first 410 sprint win of the season at Attica Raceway Park Friday, Aug. 16 on F.E. Kroka & Associates/Five Star Maintenance Night.

After a crash involving Tyler Street and Bryce Lucius (both were not injured) on the opening lap, the Callies Performance Products 410 Sprint 30-lap feature went caution free. Sabo, who started on the pole jumped into the lead and quickly built a sizeable advantage until hitting heavy lapped traffic just past the half-way point. Henry, who started seventh worked his way to second in the traffic and closed to within a half a second of Sabo with just six laps to go. Once clear of traffic, Sabo powered away for his second career Attica win over Henry, DJ Foos, Skylar Gee and Creed Kemenah.

“The car got better the harder I drove it. I saw Cap poke his nose under me there late and I knew I had to get going. Thanks to Rich and Shelly Farmer for giving me this opportunity and Steven and all the guys who work on this thing,” said Sabo beside his NAPA of Fremont, Level Utilities, Limo Scene Limo Service, Linder’s Speed Equipment, Kiser Sound backed #29.

Henry’s second place finish brings him closer to Cale Thomas in the battle for the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by the Baumann Auto Group title.

You didn’t want to be leading and getting into lapped traffic in the Whistle Stop Presents the Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model feature. Todd Brennann led the first 15 laps of the 25 lap affair before getting into a lapped car and spinning. Doug Drown lead laps 16-20 before being collected when a lapped car spun in front of him. Ryan Markham led lap 21 before Mansfield, Ohio’s Kyle Moore drove into the lead on lap 22 and drove to his fourth straight win at Attica.

Moore’s fifth win of the season at Attica is also his 10th consecutive victory overall in 2024 when coupled with other tracks. Markham, Collin Shipley, Mike Bores and Casey Noonan would round out the top five.

“WOW…this is amazing. I can’t believe this. My crew, Tye Tworg for giving me this fast machine…just all the great people on this thing.

I’ve waited forever to win here and we just can’t stop winning now. I love this place. Honestly I was just riding there and I saw Brennan get tangled up and then Drown and Markham and I was like this is just meant to be. I probably wouldn’t have won unless they wrecked. I’m not going to sugar coat it…we definitely had some luck tonight,” said Moore beside his Kepling Flooring, Tye Tworg Longhorn, Joyride Transportation, Smitley Towing, Short Stop, Malcuit Race Engines, Wilson Realty agent Robin Jakubick, RL Bond Septic, Hepthorn Golf Cart Sales, House of Spud, K&B Septic Service, Coffman Composites, Team Midwest Paint, Platinum Design backed #1*.

Last season’s rookie of the year Blayne Keckler jumped into the early lead of the Fremont Fence 305 Sprint A-main before Bryan Sebetto took the point on lap seven. Sebetto sliced through traffic as ninth starter Dustin Stroup slie into second with just six laps to go. The only caution of the 25-lap race came after the white flag, setting up a one-lap shoot-out for the win. Sebetto hit his marks perfectly to score his third win of the year at Attica over Stroup, Keckler, Jimmy McGrath and Dustin Dinan.

The victory is Sebetto’s 16th career win in the 305 division at Attica, tying him with Joe Keegan for eighth on the track’s all-time win list for the 305 sprints. It is also Sebetto’s seventh overall victory of 2024.

“I was pissed when that caution came out but it’s a part of racing. I knew I just had to hit my marks for one more lap and I knew I had a clear track and wouldn’t have to battle with anyone. I was able to move around in lapped traffic early and I knew I could pretty much run where ever I wanted. It’s a testament to how good this car is,” said Sebetto beside his : Sandusky Bay Remodeling, JLH General Contractor, Sandusky Bay RV Rentals, KH Suspension, Commercial Glazing Systems, Overwatch Precision, RCF Chassis, Level Performance, Race Ready Apparrel, NAPA of Fremont, Clay Keim, Depot Pizza, CA Kustoms backed #01.

Stroup’s second place finish will also pull him closer to Jamie Miller in the battle for the NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales title.

Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Friday, Aug. 23 with the AFCS 410 and 305 sprints and UMP Late Models in action.

CRAUN TAKES ADVANTAGE OF WARNER ISSUE; WINS FIRST CRSA RACE

Race Report By: Marty Czekala – August 17, 2024

DUNDEE, N.Y. – Dan Craun came into the weekend not having a CRSA podium in 2 1/2 years.

Friday night, his racing career changed forever.

Craun took advantage of a Blake Warner mishap with 10 laps to go to score his first career CRSA win in the first race of the Dandy Triple Play. With the win, the driver of the No. 18c becomes the 81st different winner in CRSA history and the fourth first-time winner this season.

“We’ve got a heat race win this year and couldn’t get it done at the end of the night,” said Craun. “This is awesome.”

Warner dominated this race, leading the opening 15 laps, until a brake line issue on the left front, while under caution, ended his night. The No. 21B had up to a 4.5-second lead, easily making his way through lapped traffic.

“There was so much going through my head,” Craun said. “I feel bad for him, but thank you.”

Craun and Warner made up the front row, with Warner immediately clearing Craun in the opening four laps. Craun would keep the gap close on Warner before the race’s first yellow on lap five for Sydney Weatherbee and Vince Chicklets around in turn two.

On the restart, Warner held serve while Dalton Herrick started challenging Craun for second. This would allow Warner to run away with a massive lead in lapped traffic. The run would end on lap 16 when Bob Hamm Jr. spun in turn three.

As the field was pacing under caution, Warner, the leader, came to a sudden stop on the track. Reports came in that a brake line blew out the left front, ending his night.

This is the second time this season Warner has suffered heartbreak while leading. The first was Fonda July 27, when he flipped in turn four and walked away unscathed.

Craun restarted and hung on to the lead as the leader. As the leader approached lapped traffic, Herrick stayed behind while Kyle Pierce and Tyler Graves who were racing for third, hoping the top two would make a mistake.

On the final lap, Herrick showed his nose underneath in turn two, but Craun had a much better exit to clear the No. 29 and not look back to score his first career win by a half second.

"Sometimes I wish we had rearview mirrors, but unfortunately, we don't," joked Craun. “Every time we come up on lapped traffic this is always gonna be a factor. We’re gonna have a bunch of Miller Lites.”

Craun’s career-best finish beats out a second he scored at Land of Legends Raceway Sept. 7, 2019.

A runner-up finish for Herrick is his best this season, beating a pair of thirds at Afton and Fonda.

“I needed to go to the bottom a little sooner at the end,” said Herrick. “We were starting to roll and show Craun the nose. Didn’t have enough laps to perfect it. Lapped traffic would’ve made It interesting.”

After winning last weekend at Thunder Mountain, Kyle Pierce followed up his win with a third-place finish after starting 12th. Back-to-back podiums for “The Flyin' School Teacher" allow Pierce to unofficially close in on Tomy Moreau’s points lead at 23.

“Once we started rolling the bottom, we were trying to gain momentum,” Pierce said. “I was gaining monster runs. If you told me we’d go 12th to third, I wouldn't believe these good runs. We’ll take it.”

Timmy Lotz was the Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger of the Race, gaining 18 spots to finish sixth after starting 24th.

Ed Kelley received the Maguire Family of Dealerships Magnificent Move of the Race.

Each podium member received a gift card to Dandy.

CRSA is back Saturday for the second round of the Dandy Triple Play at Woodhull Raceway.

Macedo and Bosma Produce FENDT Jackson Nationals Victories at Jackson Motorplex

Inside Line Promotions - JACKSON, Minn. (Aug. 16, 2024) - Carson Macedo and Brandon Bosma were victorious on Friday night at Jackson Motorplex, which hosted Night 2 of the 46 th annual FENDT Jackson Nationals.

The front row of the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series main event consisted of the last four FENDT Jackson Nationals champions with Logan Schuchart - the 2020 and 2021 event winner - on the pole and the two-time defending champion Macedo on the outside.

Macedo quickly powered into the top spot at the start and led the distance of the 30-lap feature, which was only slowed one time for a caution with 10 laps remaining.

Traffic ramped up the excitement of the race that featured a myriad of slide jobs and in the waning laps Sheldon Haudenschild, who hustled from fourth to second place on the late restart, closed to within a couple of car lengths of Macedo. However, Macedo was able to pick through traffic efficiently to win by 0.402 seconds.

"I was able to get a really good start to the feature, get by Logan and take command of the feature," he said. "I could feel that my pace was slowing down as we got to traffic. I got held up big time off (turn) four one time by a lapper.

"Wins are what keeps everybody's spirits up. We haven't done as much this year as we have in the past. We run in the top five often, but we just haven't been winning enough. Hopefully we can double up tomorrow and get another Jackson Nationals under our belt."

Macedo has won three of the last five World of Outlaws A Mains at Jackson Motorplex. The performance on Friday marked his fourth career series triumph at the track.

Haudenschild's runner-up result was his 17 th top five of the season with the World of Outlaws.

"I had a good restart there," he said. "I had a lane open, went around them. I felt I was pacing the No. 41 nice there. I just didn't capitalize in traffic."

David Gravel captured a third-place finish to increase his lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings.

"I thought we had a really good race car," he said. "The track was slightly top dominant, but the lapped traffic made it exciting. I'm really, really happy with the car. It's been fun to drive the car this year and I'm looking forward to tomorrow for sure."

Aaron Reutzel was fourth and Schuchart rounded out the top five.

Gravel set quick time during qualifying before the heat races were won by Dusty Zomer, Macedo, Haudenschild and Bill Balog. Schuchart drove to the dash victory and Kelby Watt was the Last Chance Showdown winner.

Bosma garnered a FENDT Jackson Nationals title by leading the final 23 laps of the $2,500-to-win Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series presented by Heser Auto & Detailing main event.

"It's pretty awesome," he said. "This means a lot. This is the biggest win in my career. Knowing everybody who's won this race and to put my name in the history books is pretty awesome."

The feature got off to a rough start with three cautions and a red flag before three laps were completed. John Lambertz led the first two laps before Bosma drove around him exiting turn two following a restart. He held off a mid-race charge from 10th-starting Jacob Peterson and a late rally from Lee Goos Jr. to win by 0.627 seconds.

Monty Ferriera, who started 13th, found something in the middle of the track in the second half of the race to advance for a third-place result. Matt Johnson finished fourth and Peterson was fifth.

Logan Moore and Mike Stien were the B Main winners.

The FENDT Jackson Nationals finale is Saturday with a $25,000-to-win World of Outlaws program as well as a $5,000-to-win Gunderson Racing Inc. Midwest Sprint Touring Series 360 Sprint Cars feature. The gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps slated to start at 7 p.m.

Tasker Phillips Strikes Again in 34 Thriller!
by Bill Wright

West Burlington, IA, August 16, 2024 – Tasker Phillips won for the second time this season at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa with the Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders Friday night. After the race got off to an awkward and slow first seven laps, things got thrilling down the stretch and the Pleasantville, Iowa native netted $2,000 for his win.

Corbin Gurley bicycled and got all but upside down at the first try at green in the 25-lap feature. He rejoined the field after changing a flat left rear tire. Once Green, Tanner Gebhardt shot into the early lead ahead of Josh Schneiderman, Tasker Phillips, Terry McCarl and Colton Fisher. Four laps in, Jake Glasgow flipped hard down the backstretch. Chase Richards was also involved, but make repairs in the work area and continued. Glasgow exited the car under his own power.

Paul Nienhiser entered the top five on the restart, and passed McCarl on the low side to gain fourth on lap seven. Things became disjointed at that point, when Blaine Jamison spun, bringing caution. A third starting Phillips jumped the start on the next try at green and was moved back a spot. On the next try, Alex Vande Voort got into the wall entering the pits, bringing another red. He was o.k. At the same time, Fisher went to the work area to make repairs. The third try was not a charm, as a caution was coming out for Cam Sorrels when the third running Nienhiser flipped in turn four. He was uninjured.

The last 18 laps went green. Gebhardt, who had a damaged nose wing throughout, led Schneiderman, Phillips, McCarl and Dustin Selvage back to green. Miles Paulus quickly moved into the top five. Phillips and Schneiderman battled hard for second, exchanging the spot three times.

Gebhardt, with bad nose wing and all, entered lapped traffic on the seventeenth circuit in pursuit of his first ever Sprint Invaders win. Phillips had gotten by Schneiderman and was now focused on the lead. He shot a slider on Gebhardt and took the point on lap 19. Paulus was also on the move, taking third form Schneiderman with three to go, and passing Gebhardt for second on the following lap.

Phillips led the last few laps and won over Paulus, and Schneiderman, who moved by Gebhardt late. Hard-charger Dustin Selvage was fourth and Gebhardt finished fifth. McCarl, Tyler Lee, Garrett Benson, Sawyer Phillips and Chase Richards rounded out the top ten. Fisher, Tasker Phillips and Paulus won heats, and Schneiderman won the Dash. Chase Richards claimed the B main. Tyler Graves tipped over in the B main, but was uninjured.

“I respect this track,” said Phillips in Victory Lane. “You have to respect the walls here. Schneiderman gave me room…it wasn’t a whole lot of room, but he gave me enough to work with it. I was on the edge of my seat, but I’m glad we got it done. I have to thank this team. I don’t have a whole lot of time to work on the car with the farming, and I couldn’t get it done without them.”

“To be honest, we weren’t good in the Dash,” said Paulus. “We started all over, and changed bars, and changed all kinds of stuff. My buddy Angelo from Australia is here helping me, and that’s been a huge help. He got her dialed in. We stunk the first seven laps, and at the end, we were really good. It was narrow at the beginning and once it widened up, it got pretty dang racy.”

“We’re pretty disappointed really,” said Schneiderman of his third place run after starting on the pole. “We struggled the second half of the race. With about three to go, I about clobbered Tanner, because I had no brakes left. It’s part of racing. Lapped traffic made it interesting. I wasn’t going to give (Phillips) an inch. I love racing Tasker. He did a good job and made the moves when he needed to. We were able to get by him a couple times, but I couldn’t get by Tanner to save my life.”

The Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders head to Peoria Speedway, Saturday, August 17. For more information on the Sprint Invaders, visit www.SprintInvaders.net or visit us on Facebook.

Martin and Goos Jr. Record FENDT Jackson Nationals Wins to Open Marquee Event at Jackson Motorplex

Inside Line Promotions - JACKSON, Minn. (Aug. 15, 2024) - Cameron Martin and Lee Goos Jr. kicked off the opening night of the 46 th annual FENDT Jackson Nationals at Jackson Motorplex by earning feature triumphs on Thursday.

Martin won a thriller of a 25-lap Gunderson Racing Inc. Midwest Sprint Touring Series 360 Sprint Cars main event, marking his first career win at the track.

Martin paced the field for the first 10 laps before Kaleb Johnson powered into the lead entering turn three on Lap 11. The drivers duked it out in thick traffic for several laps. Martin returned the favor with a slide job into turn one on Lap 18 to regain first place. He then held off late charges from Aaron Reutzel and Matt Juhl to win by 1.272 seconds.

"I just had to kind send it," Martin said. "I made that early race mistake and let Kaleb get by, but ultimately I think I had the better race car. It all worked out my way. When you're out front like that you try to think like you're hot lapping, trying to hit every mark and not slip up. Lapped traffic was very difficult tonight. It almost cost us the win, but we were able to make the most of it and get up front."

Reutzel hustled from ninth to second, using a last-lap pass to secure the runner-up result by four thousandths of a second. He was also the Hard Charger Award winner for gaining the most positions.

"It was pretty narrow to start with, but it got wide and racy," he said. "We'll come back the next two nights and see what we can do."

Juhl rounded out the podium.

"It feels good to be sitting up here," he said. "Lapped traffic didn't go my way. That's part of racing."

Skylar Prochaska placed fourth and Christopher Thram maneuvered from 12 th to fifth.

Reutzel set quick time during qualifying before Justin Jacobsma, Blaine Stegenga and Prochaska produced heat race victories.

Goos Jr. became the first repeat winner of the season at Jackson Motorplex as he garnered the Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Cars presented by Heser Auto & Detailing 20-lap feature triumph.

Nake Eakin led for the first eight laps before Goos Jr. rapidly closed in as traffic appeared. Eakin drifted up the track in turns one and two on Lap 9, allowing Goos Jr. to pull even down the backstretch and enter turn three on the favored bottom lane. He then slid in front of Eakin to take over the top spot. Goos Jr. led the remainder of the race and pulled away following a restart on Lap 14 to win by 2.052 seconds.

"I knew I had to have lapped traffic," he said. "Once I got out front the car was super easy to drive."

Eakin was the runner up with Brandon Bosma placing third. Matt Johnson finished fourth and Brandon Halverson ended fifth.

Goos Jr. was the quickest out of 43 entrants during qualifying. The heat races were won by Gaige Weldon, Amelia Eisenschenk, Madi Miller, Bayley Ballenger and Johnny Sullivan. Dusty Ballenger was the B Main winner.

The event welcomes the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series on Friday with the Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Cars presented by Heser Auto & Detailing also part of the program. The gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 7 p.m.

Blair Gets Homecoming ULMS Win; Flick Sprints to Victory; Myers and Seippel Also Score

(Franklin, PA August 11, 2024): Max Blair, of nearby Centerville, was the winner of the ULMS Late Model feature on Sunday night at Tri-City Raceway Park, as the division returned to the track for the first time in three years. A.J. Flick made a late pass of Greg Wilson to steal the Krill Recycling LLC 410 Sprint Car feature win. Blaze Myers topped the 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprint Cars, and Josh Seippel was the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stock winner.

Logan Zarin and Max Blair presented the thirty lap ULMS Late Model feature on the starting grid, with Blair leading the race from the start. Fourth starting Andy Boozel advanced to second in the early laps before third starting Jared Miley took the spot a few laps in. The first caution period of the race came on lap six and, on the restart, it was Blair again taking command over Miley and Zarin. Miley stayed close, within a second, before the next caution period came with eighteen laps complete. Again, Blair took control when racing resumed, with Miley unable to stay as close to the leader as he did before the caution. A final interlude with three laps remaining gave the field one last shot at the leader. But Blair resumed his lead for the remaining distance to post his second Late Model win at the track, the last coming in 2015. Since then, Blair moved on to compete at the regional and national levels in the Late Model ranks. Miley, the winner of the last Late Model race at the track in 2021, settled for second. Zarin was third over Andy Boozel and Alex Ferree. Tyler Dietz, Doug Eck, Dylan Lewis, Dave Stamm, and Greg Oakes filled the top ten. Blair and Miley were the heat winners. Blair also recorded the evening’s fastest time in qualifications, 17.73 seconds.

The twenty-five lap Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Car feature had Jim Morris and Brandon Spithaler on the front row. Spithaler led the first lap as tight racing in turn four found last week’s winner, Matt Farnham. spinning for the race’s first caution. Farnham was able to restart. A Nathen McDowell spin brought the caution out a lap later. Spithaler continued to show the way over Andy Priest and Bob Felmlee, as the yellow waved again with seven laps complete. It was still Spithaler as second running Priest had trouble on the backstretch to slow the race with twelve laps in. Spithaler now led over Felmlee, as Greg Wilson joined the lead battle. Wilson took second from Felmlee with the final caution on lap fifteen setting up an exciting ten lap run to the finish. When the green flew again, it was Spithaler now having his hands full with Wilson on the low line and seventh starting A.J. Flick on the outside lane. Wilson made an inside pass of Spithaler in turn four to take the lead on lap twenty, with Spithaler then retiring from the race. With Wilson low and Flick high and the leaders in race traffic, the battle was on for the win. Flick made the outside work off turn four to take the lead on lap twenty-two, as he held off Wilson’s challenges to win his fourth of the year and fourteenth at the track. Felmlee was third, with Farnham recovering to finish fourth. Brandon Matus was fifth, as Morris, Andy Cavanaugh, Bodey McClintock, Aaron Marano, and Nathen McDowell completed the top ten. Morris and Felmlee were the heat winners. A heat race incident involving Jeremy Weaver and Sean Rayhall severely damaged both machines, ending the evening for both teams.

Ricky Tucker, III and Arnie Kent led the 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprint feature to green with Kent taking the early lead. Fourth starting Blaze Myers was quickly up to challenge and, with an inside pass in turn three, he took the lead on lap two. Once in front, Myers quickly began to put distance between himself and the competition. Second was hotly contested as the green flag laps clicked by. Myers took the checkered flag 4.667 seconds ahead of his competitors. The win was his third of the season and fourth in the division. Kent prevailed over Joe Buccola in the battle for second. Last week’s winner, John Mollick, was fourth and Luke Mulichak was fifth for his best finish of the season. Mollick and Myers took the heat wins.

The fifteen lap Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stock main had Jake Whitling and Pat Fielding on the front row with Whitling leading from the start. A caution period on lap two slowed the pace, as fourth starting Josh Seippel took the lead on the restart. Late restarts on laps nine and ten gave the field additional chances to challenge, but Seippel went on to win his second feature of the year and eighth in the division, in the 300th Pro Stock race since the track reopened in 1995. Whitling matched his season’s best finish in second, 1.282 seconds behind, with Rod Laskey third. Joey Zambotti was fourth, with Russ Coyne fifth. Heat winners were Jim Fosnaught and Zambotti.

Mollick built upon his lead in the Marsh Heating & Cooling Heat Race Challenge.

Bard Sweeps 410s at Clinton County

Mill Hall, PA – Garrett Bard of Wells Tannery, PA earned his second career 410 sprint car victory on Saturday night at the Clinton County Speedway. Both feature wins occurred at Clinton County just weeks apart. Bard was the winner of the third annual Phil Walter Classic collecting the $6,300 payday, a race honoring Phil Walter the all-time 410 feature winner at the 1/3-mile oval. Devin Freise won the East Coast Legends twin feature events and Matt Weaver of Centre Hall won the 4 Cylinders.

Bard, who won his heat race qualifier stared on the pole alongside Indiana driver, Devin DeVault. Bard took the lead from the drop of the green flag, leading DeVault, defending race winner Dale Blaney of Ohio, Davie Franek of New Jersey, and Dominic Melair of Pennsylvania.

The first caution occurred on lap number 7, when Linden’s Dale Schweikart spun in turn two. Bard held off DeVault while Dominic Melair passed Franek for fourth and began to challenge Blaney. A lap eleven caution for Josh Beamer and Billy Dietrich when the two tangled on the front stretch, resulting in both drivers going to the pit area.

Following the restart, Bard and DeVault ran first and second, while Blaney and Melair continued to battle for the third postion. A lap 15 caution for Owen Dimm and Tylar Rutherford who tangled in turn four bunched the field up once again. Bard again maintained the lead, with DeVault, Blaney, Melair, and Mike Bauer now running in the top five.

Bard began to quickly catch of the tail end of the field, which would make lapped traffic a factor. Bard tried to maneuver the lapped traffic which slowed his pace, allowing DeVault to close the gap between the top two cars. Meanwhile, Blaney and Melair continued battle for the third postion. On lap number 25 and in heavy lapped traffic, Melair passed Blaney for third and made it a three-car battle for the lead. With two laps remaining, DeVault was on the rear bumper of Bard and threatened to take the lead. As the duo came to the white flag it was a drag race into turns one and two. Bard exited turn two with a slight lead over DeVault and Melair was also withing striking distance hoping the top two would make a mistake. As they entered turns three and four, DeVault took one last attempt to steal the win, as the exited turn four, brining the crowd to their feet as the leaders were side by side at the line. Bard, narrowly edged out DeVault by .086 seconds for the win. Melair was third, Blaney fourth and Michael Bauer was fifth. Sixth through tenth were Tyler Ross, Davie Franek, Logan Rumsey, Dan Shetler and AJ Flick. Heats were won Davie Franek, Dale Blaney, Garrett Bard, and Devin DeVault. B-Mains were won by Derek Swartz and Dylan Norris. 44 sprint cars were in competition.

The East Coast Legends competed in twin 15 lap main events. In the first feature event, Colton Friese and Seth Kearchner started on the front row. Kearchner led the first three circuits, until Coton Friese made a pass for the lead. Lincoln Kearchner and Devin Friese started working their way toward the front, moving into second and third positions by lap number six. In the final laps, Devin Friese began putting pressure on his nephew, Colton and by the white flag lap it was a family feud to the finish. Devin Friese made the pass as the duo exited turn four and the two Kearchners of Lincoln and Seth were right there as well, Colton spun as his uncle crossed the line to take the win. Lincoln Kearchner was second, Sith Kearchner was fourth, and Logan Jones completed the top five. Sixth through tenth were Vincent Wenrich, Justin Wagaman, Kelby Friese, Darren Lucas and Dave Benner. Heats were won by Colton Friese, Seth Kearchner, and Devin Friese.

The East Coast Legends Series inverted the top 12 finishers for the start of their second feature event. Grady McGrew started on the outside of the front row and took the early lead. Seth Kearchner quickly moved to the front and was running second by lap number six. On lap number seven, the red flag came out for the car of Benjamin Morrow, when it caught on fire going into turn number two. Morrow was ok. Devin Friese who started 12 worked his way through the field and was up to second by lap number nine. A lap later he passed McGrew for the lead and led the final 6 laps to claim his second victory of the season. McGrew held onto second followed by Seth Kearchner, Scott Houdeschell, and Colton Friese. Sixth through tenth were Darren Lucas, Justin Wagaman, Scott Spidle, Dalton Friese and Kelby Friese.

PIERCE TAKES WIN IN FRONT OF STUDENTS AT THUNDER MOUNTAIN

Race Report By: Marty Czekala | Aug. 11, 2024

CENTER LISLE, N.Y. – Kyle Pierce’s day job isn’t too far from Thunder Mountain Speedway.

As a fourth grade teacher at Spencer-Van Etten Central School, under an hour away, many of his students showed up to watch him race his 305 Sprint car. They may now be good luck charms.

Pierce passed underneath Billy VanInwegen with eight laps to go to score his second win of the season at Thunder Mountain in the Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series.

“I hope they come back with us," said Pierce in victory lane. We have a lot of family, people from school that have been coming. It's cool to pick up a win, but more special when they hear it 180 days out of the school year."

A pair of VanInwegens made up the front row: Emily VanInwegen followed by Billy VanInwegen, the latter of whom finished second last May. "Emily V" led the opening laps in the sibling rivalry, but "Billy V" grabbed the lead back on the outside through three and four.

“The Flyin' School Teacher" Pierce would move up to the runner-up spot, passing Emily VanInwegen on the top before the first yellow flew around the halfway point for Kirsten Dombrowski, spinning in turn three.

The restart saw Billy VanInwegen's No. 56v hold serve. Pierce explored options from the high to the low grooves and the leader cut off. Pierce seemed really good on the top, but when Billy VanInwegen took the top, the No. 9k switched downstairs and, on lap 18, took the lead in three and four to not look back and win.

“If you told me I was gonna do that, I wouldn't believe you," Pierce said. "I never ran the top here before; we were hoping I could poke my nose one time and get back to where I was. He’s not the guy you want behind you when it gets slick.”

The win is Pierce’s second of the Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series and the sixth of his career, tying him for 13th on the all-time wins list.

In victory lane, Pierce dedicated this win to the late Evan Canfield, former CRSA Sprints photographer. Pierce revealed that plans were in the works to have Canfield’s EC Media logo on the wing of “The Flyin’ School Teacher’s.”

Two races at Thunder Mountain in 2024 and two runner-up finishes for Billy VanInwegen. Déjà vu to last May when he led early and then lost it later in the going.

“Real good early, horrid at the end,” said Billy VanInwegen. “Kyle ran a good race. Thanks to the VanDusen family for letting me run this thing. I need to get this thing to take off at the start. Just do our homework and find some speed.”

As for the other VanInwegen in the field, Emily VanInwegen piloted her No. 19em ride to third, her first podium finish since June 2019 at Glen Ridge when she finished second and her first top-five finish since Aug. 2022 at Afton.

“I ran the bottom all night except the feature, which is usually my safe zone," said Emily VanInwegen. “I wasn’t too sure how it was going to plan out. We gave it our best and this is where it’s at.”

Blake Warner finished sixth tonight after starting from 18th place, gaining 12 spots to make him the Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger of the Race.

Despite finishing in 18th, Jordan Hutton's moves throughout the race's first half awarded him the Maguire Family of Dealerships Magnificent Move of the Race. Hutton was involved in a crash in the final laps to end his night.

Up next for the CRSA Sprints is their first two-in-two of the year at Outlaw Speedway Friday and Woodhull Raceway Saturday for the first races in the Dandy Triple Play.

GAUGE GARCIA SLIDES INTO 64TH JOHNNY KEY CLASSIC VICTORY LANE AT OCEAN SPEEDWAY

WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (August 10, 2024) – Lemoore’s Gauge Garcia used an old-school Ocean Speedway low line maneuver in turns three and four to prevail over Bud Kaeding of San Jose and win the 64th Johnny Key Classic on Saturday night in Watsonville. Garcia slid past Kaeding in the fourth turn on lap 29, then led over a green-white-checkered finish for the $3,000 win.

“I have no idea man. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then. I happened to hit (the bottom) once and I stuck with it and it was great,” Garcia said. “It was a great night and I’m so excited to be here. This is not realistic right now. About halfway through that race if you told me I was going to win, I would have said you were crazy.”

Friday runner-up and 1996 Key Classic winner Kaeding led the 27 entries in time trials. He also made a bold outside pass to win the dash race for the pole position for the 30-lap feature.

Kaeding led the first six laps through a series of restarts with Arizona’s Ashton Torgerson hot on his trail. Torgerson drove into the lead on lap seven in turn one but the move was nullified by a caution flag.

Torgerson and Caeden Steele of Fresno squared off for second place with Steele using the bottom to take the position on lap 10. The race saw six restarts in the first 16 laps with Garcia advancing from tenth on the grid into third by that point, using the bottom to pass Friday winner Tanner Carrick of Lincoln.

Hanford’s DJ Netto spun on the front stretch out of a top-ten position with six laps to go for a caution flag. On the restart, Garcia drove underneath Steele for second then attempted to do the same on Kaeding. Garcia’s attempts bore fruit when he slid past Kaeding in turn four to lead lap 29. The white flag was followed by a caution flag when Kyle Rasmussen spun in turn two. Garcia preserved the lead position for the restart. Kaeding tried the top down the backstretch but got a slight piece of the wall, allowing Garcia some separation.

Garcia took the win over Kaeding and 16th-starting Sean Becker of Roseville. Becker was credited with the Tribute to JP Morgan / Mr. Pickles of Morgan Hill $250 Hard Charger. Steele and Clayton’s Joey Ancona rounded out the top-five.

Salinas’ Caleb Debem finished eighth, allowing the 18-year-old to wrap up the 2024 Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo championship as well.

Santa Cruz’ Logan Mitchell won his fifth Western Midget Racing feature of the season and closed in on the championship battle with 2023 champion Bryant Bell of Oakley in the process. The 25-lap win during the Johnny Key Classic paid $1200 as part of the WMR Triple Crown Series.

“I just wanted to win so bad. We’ve been podiuming every race and been in the hunt, just needed that one difference of starting first.” Mitchell said.

Mitchell won the fast heat race for the pole position for the feature. Idaho’s Teddy Bivert topped Arizona’s Drake Edwards to win the second heat race to set the fourth row starting positions as well.

Friday winner Anthony Bruno of San Jose leapt ahead of Mitchell at the start of the feature from the outside pole. Last-place starter Bell and eighth-place starter Edwards drove into third and fourth respectively. Bell’s bid for a podium finish ended when he stopped in turn one with just two laps to go. He would ultimately be scored ninth.

Mitchell followed Bruno closely. He tried the outside on the backstretch on lap 13 but couldn’t complete a pass. Bruno swung wide exiting turn two on the next lap, allowing Mitchell to cross over from the top to the bottom to take the lead. Mitchell led the final 11 circuits for the win followed by Bruno, Edwards, Adrianna DeMartini of Brentwood, and Nichols.

Joe Gallaher won his seventh Hobby Stock feature of the year in a 20-lap race. Cody Keldsen led the field while the Gallaher family was a part of exciting battling behind him. Bobby Gallaher suffered a flat left rear tire and spun, bringing out a caution on lap eight. He was able to get a new tire on and rejoin the race.

Trent Golden of Pittsburg seized the lead on the restart with Joe Gallaher advancing into second as well. The pair ran side-by-side before Gallaher took over the spot on lap 13. A caution flew on lap 14 for Adriane Frost of Watsonville with a flat left rear tire as well but she also rejoined the action after a pit stop.

Gallaher, Golden, Rob Gallaher, Bobby Gallaher, and Sam Kennedy were the top-five finishers.

Ocean Speedway returns on Friday August 16 with the Terry Traub Memorial for Hobby Stocks plus IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Sport Mods, Four Bangers, and South Bay Dwarf Cars.

Must See Racing Perfit Sprint Car Series

MARNE, Mich. (Aug. 10, 2024) – After his performance Saturday night with the Must See Racing Perfit Sprint Car Series, Canadian Ryan Litt has begun to turn Berlin Raceway into somewhat of a second home.

Litt surged past reigning series champion Jason Blonde in turn four on lap 22 of a 30-lap feature, moments before Blonde slowed dramatically with a flat right-rear tire.

He never trailed after that, leading the final nine laps en route to his third straight win in the tour’s fall date at the seven-sixteenths-mile oval. It marked Litt’s fourth Must See Racing feature victory overall.

Saturday was also Litt’s first series victory since becoming a father back in February, with six-month-old daughter Everly in attendance.

“He [Blonde] snookered me on the start. I almost spun out in between [turns] one and two,” Litt laughed. “But he’s always fun to race here. He is one of the best at this track, but you know he’s going to race you clean.

“I saw him smoking and sparking going into three late there, and I had a little run and took it,” Litt added. “It was a good race. Pretty nerve-wracking with a bunch of cautions at the end, but we made it work.”

Reigning series rookie-of-the-year Kevin Mingus started from the pole after an inversion roll of eight prior to the main, but it was Dorman Snyder who jumped out to the early advantage from the outside of the front row.

Snyder led the first eight laps in Wayne Stickney’s familiar No. 99, before Blonde came roaring past by using his traditional high side speed to gain control on the ninth rotation.

Blonde tried to check out at that point, but Litt was hot on his heels, moving quickly past Snyder into second and then lurking less than a second behind Blonde until just before the halfway point.

Snyder then slowed working lap 16 – a flat right-rear tire the culprit – but was able to make a tire change and return, while Litt and Blonde scrapped for the lead on the ensuing restart.

With 10 to go, Litt rocketed closer to Blonde’s rear bumper, before making what would ultimately be the pass for the win in the fourth corner after shooting all the way to the apron to avoid Blonde’s slowing car.

The reigning champ wasn’t done, however.

After getting a replacement tire and restarting on the tail of the lead lap in eighth, Blonde roared around the third lane on a lap-23 restart, passing six cars in half a lap to regain the runner-up position.

“I figured he had a flat tire or broke,” said Litt of Blonde. “I couldn’t believe he got back up there, though. “I was ready for the restart, and he pulled up beside me … I was like, ‘What the heck?’”

Despite the sudden surge, Blonde had nothing left to get back past Litt, even with a two-lap sprint to the finish after Davey Hamilton Jr. slowed with a blown engine to bring out the night’s final caution flag.

“I surprised myself, to be honest with you,” Blonde admitted of his move to get back toward the front. “I didn’t think it was going to be that good, because we put a used tire on, but it just shows how good the car was … especially out in clean air when we were leading. I didn’t think I'd be the second place car by that first lap [after the restart], though.

“Just hats off to the guys. After qualifying and the heat race, we were just a little free, and I got my tires really hot – almost blistering hot. We had to make a couple spring changes, but it brought the car to life. Not quite enough in those last few laps.”

British Columbia’s Aaron Willison completed the podium, giving Canada two of the top three finishers.

Bobby Komisarski and Kevin Mingus, locked in a duel for the runner-up spot in the series standings, were fourth and fifth, respectively. Championship leader Joe Liguori crossed the line in sixth.

Leading Must See Racing Midwest Lights Series competitor Charlie Baur posted a career-best mark with the national series Saturday night, earning a ninth-place finish with his family-owned race team.

Willison kicked off the program with his second fast qualifying effort of the season, timing in at 13.355 seconds (117.933 mph) in the iconic Dick Myers-owned No. 50m car.

Teddy Alberts won the first eight-lap heat race, while Litt topped the eight-lap Engine Pro Fast Car Dash, which served as the night’s second heat.

The two-race Fast Car Dash mini-series points title – comprising both Must See Racing events this season at Berlin – unofficially went to Blonde. He earned the honor with a one-point margin over Litt.

The Must See Racing Perfit Sprint Car Series season continues Saturday, Aug. 31 at Owosso Speedway in Ovid, Mich., where Willison captured his first win on the tour back in June.

ANTHONY BRUNO WINS FIRST OCEAN WMR EVENT DURING JOHNNY KEY KICK OFF

WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (August 10, 2024) – San Jose’s Anthony Bruno won his second career Western Midget Racing feature and his first at his home Ocean Speedway in a thriller against Santa Cruz Logan Mitchell on Friday night in Watsonville. The event paid $500 to win, kicking off the 64th Johnny Key Classic and the second weekend of the WMR Triple Crown Series.

“Honestly it means the world to me,” Bruno said. “I grew up coming here with my grandparents and my mom and dad would take me all the time when I was young. I always wanted to win here.”

Bruno’s Boscacci Racing teammates Adrianna DeMartini of Brentwood and 2023 champion Bryant Bell of Oakley won the eight-lap heat races.

Bruno lined up alongside Adam Weisberg of Santa Clarita for the 20-lap feature. Weisberg had a slow start which also bottled up Delano’s Terry Nichols and dropped them out of the top-five. Bruno and Mitchell broke free from the pack immediately, then ran in lockstep throughout the contest.

Current points leader Bell ran in third for the first four laps before flipping wildly in turn three to end his evening.

Mitchell hounded the back bumper of Bruno as they built up a comfortable advantage over DeMartini in third. Mitchell made his move on the outside coming to the checkered flag but fell short by a nose.

Bruno earned the win over Mitchell, DeMartini, Nichols, and Todd Hawse of Moorpark. Bruno then spun a two-car inversion for Saturday’s fast heat which will set the starting line-up for the first three rows of the Saturday feature. The balance of the field will battle for positions seventh on back in the second heat race. Saturday’s feature pays $1200 to win and $150 to start.

TANNER CARRICK OPENS JOHNNY KEY CLASSIC WEEKEND WITH DOMINATING OCEAN SPRINTS WIN

WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (August 9, 2024) – Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick dominated Friday’s Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo feature, leading all 30-laps in the prelude to Saturday’s 64th Johnny Key Classic at Ocean Speedway in Watsonville. The win paid $2000 and gives Carrick momentum heading into the $3000 to win event on Saturday.

Caeden Steele of Fresno topped the 26 entries in time trials before Carrick scored the pole for the feature by winning the dash.

The opening lap saw excitement when Yuba City’s Seth Standley and Livermore’s Travis Labat banged wheels on the front stretch. Surprisingly the field was able to avoid a melee and racing resumed.

Penngrove’s Colby Johnson knifed through the fracas to drive from sixth starting position into third. Carrick approached traffic by the fifth lap and briefly had company from Steele in the second position. Carrick then accumulated a strong lead as he darted in and out of traffic. At halfway, Johnson found his way past Steele for second. Steele was then passed by Guage Garcia of Lemoore for third as well.

Grant Duinkerken of Riverdale and Cody Key of Fresno collided on the backstretch on lap 20, sending Key into a side-over-side flip. Johnson, Steele, and Gilroy’s Kurt Nelson were also gobbled up as they tried to avoid with Steele flipping as well. Duinkerken was the only car able to continue.

The incident erased a 5.4 second lead for Carrick and gave him a new customer to deal with in Garcia. Garcia tried to slide Carrick on the restart into turn one but was unable to complete a pass. Bud Kaeding then made a slider attempt on Garcia for second. On the second attempt on lap 22, the move stuck and Kaeding took over the position.

Kaeding closed in on Carrick as they approached lapped traffic with four to go but a caution fell for Burt Foland, Jr. of Campbell spinning in turn one. Carrick drove away on the restart with free real estate ahead of him for the win, followed by Kaeding, Garcia, points leader Caleb Debem, and Standley. Ashton Torgerson advanced ten positions to earn the JP Morgan and Mr. Pickles Hard Charger worth $200.

San Jose’s Anthony Bruno won his second career Western Midget Racing feature and his first at his home Ocean Speedway in a thriller against Santa Cruz Logan Mitchell.

Adrianna DeMartini of Brentwood and 2023 champion Bryant Bell of Oakley won the eight-lap heat races.

Bruno lined up alongside Adam Weisberg of Santa Clarita for the 20-lap feature. Weisberg had a slow start which also bottled up Delano’s Terry Nichols. Bruno and Mitchell broke free and ran in lockstep throughout the contest worth $500 to win, kicking off the second weekend of the WMR Triple Crown.

Current points leader Bell ran in third for the first four laps before flipping wildly in turn three to end his evening.

Mitchell hounded the back bumper of Bruno as they built up a comfortable advantage over DeMartini in third. Mitchell made his move on the outside coming to the checkered flag but fell short by a nose. Bruno earned the win over Mitchell, DeMartini, Terry Nichols of Delano, and Todd Hawse of Moorpark. Bruno then spun a two car inversion for Saturday’s fast heat which will set the starting line up for the first three rows of the feature. The balance of the field will battle for positions seventh on back in the second heat race.

2023 Hobby Stocks champion Joe Gallaher drove worst to first to grab his seventh win of the season in a 20-lap main event. His grandson Bobby Gallaher worked to the outside of Watsonville’s Adriane Frost to seize the lead at the start.

Joe Gallaher passed his son Rob Gallaher for second on lap 12 then closed in on Bobby. Grandpa took over the lead on lap 15 on the inside in turn three and never relinquished it. The three generations of Gallaher finished one-two-three with Joe, Bobby, and Rob followed by Frost and Reeder.

Gilroy’s TJ Santos made the most of his first Four Bangers start of the season by leading the 15-lap feature wire-to-wire. Santos won his heat race as well.

Original pole sitter Kenny Stragalinos of Boulder Creek had to start at the rear after his car stalled on the first attempt at a start. Stragalinos drove into third around the outside of Travis Vangilder of Felton on lap six. Stragalinos quickly moved past Nicole Beardsley into second on lap seven but the move would be nullified by a crash in turn four.

Peter Vannerus and Ken Keagan tangled in the fourth turn, resulting in Keagan flipping over onto his roof to draw a red flag. He was uninjured.

The incident took away a six second lead that Santos had built up over the pack. Stragalinos challenged Beardsley before completing the pass on lap 16 for second. He was unable to make up ground on Santos’ 3.4 second advantage at that point.

Santos grabbed victory over Stragalinos, Beardsley, Van Gilder, and Vannerus.

New York 2, PA 2 at Tri City Raceway Park

(Franklin, PA August 4, 2024); Before a packed house on Fan Appreciation Night courtest of Webco Industries, Inc., the winners at Tri-City Raceway Park, on Sunday night were Matt Farnham in the Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars, Erick Rudolph in the 21st Century Energy Group Modifieds, John Mollick in the 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprints, and Hunter Exley in the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks. In addition to an exciting night of racing, the fans were treated to an autograph session with IndyCar veteran Santino Ferruci.

For the 20 lap feature for the Krill Recycling 410 Sprints, Brandon Spithaler and Jeremy Weaver received front row spots in the redraw for the top eight starting positions. Usually, front row starting spots are highly coveted and considered extremely lucky, but on this night they were not lucky at all. On the initial start, Weaver was involved in an incident in turn two that forced a complete restart, sending him to the tail of the field. This moved original third starting Brandon Matus to the outside of the front row for the next attempted start. The race went green, but Spithaler fell off the pace on the backstretch, as seventh starting Matt Farnham slipped through to take the lead as lap one was scored. Spithaler's slowing machine drew the caution, and he was pushed to the pits under the yellow. Matus, who had inherited the front row spot, also stopped during the caution and exited the race, as the top three starters on the grid never made it to lap two. Farnham continued to lead when the race restarted, with fifth starting Tyler Esh taking up the chase. The New Yorker, Farnham, was strong in the lead, pulling to a comfortable margin as the green flag laps clicked by. Farnham raced home the winner for the second time this season, and his third career win at the track. Esh was second, 4.195 seconds behind at the checkered flag. A.J. Flick finished third with Bob Felmlee fourth, as they battle for the lead in the point standings. After this event, Felmlee’s lead is down to a single point. Floridian Connor Morrell was fifth in his first ever visit, with Weaver recovering to finish sixth. John Jerich, Carl Bowser, Nathen McDowell, and Andy Cavanaugh rounded out the top ten. Weaver and Farnham were the heat race winners.

It took three tries to get the 21st Century Energy Group Modified feature going, but once it did it raced non-stop to the finish. Erick Rudolph continued his mastery of Tri-City in 2024, racing to his fifth feature event of the season. The New York veteran will be the odds-on favorite to win the Ryder Memorial for the BRP Tour on August 18. Chad Reitz ran a solid second throughout the twenty lap distance, finishing 5.658 seconds behind. Heat race winner Rick Regalski was third, with Steve Slater fourth and Tom Holden fifth.

In the 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprints, a special format was used as two heat races were run with the top three finishers from each going to the dash presented by Marsh Heating & Cooling. John Mollick and Blaze Myers were heat winners. Myers won the dash win to earn the pole position for the twenty lap feature race, flanked by Gale Ruth, Jr. Myers moved to the early lead, as fourth starting Mollick was up to challenge. On lap two, point leader Mollick moved to the outside of Myers and was ahead by a nose before clearing him for the lead on lap three. After a caution period on lap nine, Mollick continued to lead, but on a later restart on lap fifteen, Myers was able to challenge him for the top spot. Later caution periods on laps eighteen and nineteen would extend the race to twenty-one laps, as per track rules there must be two laps run to finish a main. The restarts gave Myers extra chances, but Mollick stayed in front to earn his fourth feature of the season, and fifth in the division. Myers settled for a close second over Ruth, Arnie Kent, and Brent Rhebergen.

The twenty lap Pro Stock feature event went to Hunter Exley for his first win in the Ho-City Raceway Park will vis Auto & Truck Supply division. He became the fifty-sixth different winner in 299 races held since 1996. Exley took command early in the event from third starting spot and raced home the winner. Jake Whitling had his best finish of the season in second, holding off Chris Schneider in third. Tim Bish and Pat Fielding rounded out the top five, with point leader Rod Laskey sixth. Heat race winners were Fielding and Schneider. John Mollick leads the way in the Marsh Heating & Cooling Heat Race Challenge, with five wins.

Next week, Tri-City Raceway Park will present its only Super Late Model Race of the season. The ULMS Late Model Series will roar into town. Current Series points leader, Michael Lake, is gunning for his first series championship.

Seeing Double? Hillier Takes Two Wins at Skagit Speedway

8/3/24

By Kaleb Hart

Alger, WA - At the age of 14 and almost 3 months, Levi Hillier pulled off what many strive for but never achieve - winning the sprint car features in two different divisions at Skagit Speedway on the same night.

The first victory of the night came in the Sportsman Sprint division, where Levi had a relatively easy go of things, leading all twenty five laps of the feature unchallenged for the win. The victory was his third of the year in the Sportsman Sprint division. Jesson Jacobson and Steve Parker dueled for second and third place with Jacobson coming out on top. Parker set quick time and won his heat race. Hillier won heat two with Kai Dixon winning heat three.

The follow up feature for Hillier upped the level of difficulty, as he started on the front row next to the always fast Trey Starks. Levi would get the jump going into turn one, with Starks pursuing him around the low groove. Trey took a look multiple times to the low side of both sets of corners but never found the forward drive to pull even with Levi, as Hillier used the high side to maintain his lead while the pair raced into traffic. A close call with a slower car forced Levi to have to slam the door on the low groove in turn three hard around lap 10, but that’s as close as Starks could eventually get. Despite having one of the Northwest’s best no further than three car lengths back of him for the majority of the main, it was Hillier coming out on top for his second win of the night and his first in the 360 division aboard the Rudeen Racing sprint car. With his victory, Levi became the second youngest 360 winner in track history behind Colby Thornhill’s win at 14 years and 1 month in 2020. Starks and Cam Smith rounded out the podium. Smith was fast time on the night, while heat wins went to Starks, Hillier, Jesse Schlotfeldt and Colton Heath.

The Skagit Aggregates IMCA Modifieds ere back in action on Saturday night and it was Jeff Westergard racing to his second win of the season. Ben Gunderson had led since lap two but under caution on lap 16, he lost air pressure in his right front tire and had to head to the pits to change it. Westergard, who had battled from deep up to second place, inherited the lead and went the rest of the way for the win. James Bundy took second while Gunderson raced his way back up the field for third. Westergard won his heat race, with Rick Smith winning the other heat.

Kalib Henry switches lanes and gets 3rd Fremont 410 win; Jamie Miller does same and takes non-wing victory; Dustin Keegan holds on for truck win

By Brian Liskai

FREMONT, Ohio – For 25 laps Kalib Henry and DJ Foos battled for the lead of the 410 sprint car A-main at Fremont Speedway presented by Gill Construction. The duo swapped the top spot several times but a caution with five laps to go and a decision by Henry to change lanes took him to his third win of the year at “The Track That Action Built” on Sandusky County Chamber of Commerce/Sandusky County Visitors Bureau/Sandusky County Economic Development/City of Fremont Night.

Foos led the first 13 laps of the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint A-main with sixth starter Henry leading laps 14-18. Foos regained the top spot on lap 19 with Henry taking the lead back on lap 21. Foos drove under Henry, who was committed to the top ledge of the track, on lap 24 with Henry back to the point right as the caution flew on lap 25.

On the ensuing restart Henry, from Sacramento, California, opted to drive to the bottom of turns one and two and that was the winning move as he pulled away for the win over Foos, Zane DeVault, Cap Henry and Sean Rayhall. The win pads Henry’s lead in the track’s points.
Cap Henry’s 10th to fourth place run will close the gap on 12th place finisher Cale Thomas’ advantage in the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group.

“I kept seeing DJ poke his nose and I knew I needed to do something different there…I wasn’t sure because I hadn’t been down there the whole race. I kept driving over the edge down in one and two…the cushion rolled up over the top and I knew I had to change something up. I had to change something up on the restart. I can’t thank Jim and Rebecca Muth enough for the opportunity. I know my parents are headed to Knoxville so they’re screaming at the phone driving there. I can’t wait to see them tomorrow,” said Henry beside his Running Boxer Farms, Harris Distributing Company, Valvoline, K1, Berryman Racing Shocks, Chalkstix backed #101.

Fremont’s Jamie Miller has won in 305 winged sprints and dirt trucks at Fremont in 2024. He added a non-wing victory Saturday in a thrilling battle with Aiden Salisbury in the first ever appearance of the American Sprint Car Tour at Fremont Speedway. Salisbury lead the first three laps before Miller, who started third, took over. The pair raced side by side with Miller up top and Salisbury on the bottom. Salisbury retook the lead on lap 21 but Miller moved to the bottom on the race track in turns three and four as they raced to the white flag, and took the lead and 51st career win at Fremont over Salisbury, Tyler Miller, Larry Kingseed and Brian Smith.

“I was good up top but it was starting to get tight and I messed up a couple of times and I knew that allowed him to close a couple of times but I knew he couldn’t get by me or away from me. He left the bottom wide open and on the white flag I said hell with it I’m going to the bottom and it stuck like glue,” said Miller.

The Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks also put on a thrilling feature event. Former track champion Dustin Keegan lead the opening lap before Kent Brewer took over for a lap with fifth starter and current point leader Keith Sorg moving into the lead on lap three. Sorg led until lap nine when Keegan regained the top spot with Sorg battling back to the point on lap 12. On a restart, Keegan moved to the lead once again. Keegan held off several challenges from Sorg the final seven laps to score his second win of 2024 and the 11th of his career at the track. Sorg, Jamie Miller, Shawn Valenti and Brewer rounded out the top five.

“I have two compressed vertebra in my lower back so it’s painful out there. I want to thank my dad, my girlfriend and all the sponsors who help on this truck,” said Keegan beside his Sonny’s Signs, Burmeister Trophy, Jeff Ward Demolition backed #17x.

Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, Aug. 10 with the first ever appearance of the RPM Flat Track Motorcycles in action.

Bud Kaeding wins one for Davy on Friday at Ocean Speedway

Watsonville, CA…On a night that he performed a Memorial Lap for the late Davy Thomas, former Ocean Sprints champion Bud Kaeding capped the event by claiming his second victory of the 2024 campaign.

Kaeding grabbed the lead early on and held off a fast Caeden Steele to earn the emotional triumph. In victory lane, the veteran dedicated his win to Davy, who grew up a big fan of the multi-time Silver Crown champ. It was also the final tune-up prior to next week’s Johnny Key Classic, with purse details included at bottom of this story.

Ocean Speedway also honored the late Diane Morgan on Friday night with a very special Memorial Lap and extra money on the line for the IMCA Modifieds. At the end it was Salinas driver Cody Burke making a late pass for the $1,000 grand prize.

Sharing victory lane on Friday were Tracy’s KC Keller with the IMCA Sport Mods and Ocean point leader Joe Gallaher with the Hobby Stocks.

The 30-lap Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo feature began with the night’s fast qualifier Jake Haulot jumping into the lead. The track surface was in phenomenal shape and lent itself to some excellent racing in all classes.

Kaeding utilized a beautiful move to slice his way into the top spot on lap four and then rode the cushion to perfection. Northern Auto Racing Club Rookie of the Year contender Caeden Steele made a rare Ocean Sprints start and moved into second place on lap 11.

Steele kept Kaeding within striking distance on several restarts and made it a race for the lead as it wound down. Kaeding hit his marks to perfection though and crossed under the Ed Entz checkered flag for victory over Steele. Riverdale’s Grant Duinkerken made a wild final corner pass upstairs to take third at the line over Joey Ancona and Haulot.

The 25-lap IMCA Modified feature in memory of Diane Morgan started with Fred Lind battling it out with Austin Burke up front. Burke took command on lap two but soon felt intense pressure from Cody Burke after moving into second on lap eight.

The Burke boys kept fans on the edge of their seats while racing closely together for the duration of the contest. Coming to the white flag Austin slipped up just enough to allow an opening for Cody, who took full advantage, slipping to his inside and taking over the point.

Cody Burke went on to tally the victory over Austin, Lind, Jacob Mallet Jr. and a very racy Robert Marsh.

The 20-lap IMCA Sport Mod finale saw Mike Gill lead the opening lap, until getting crossed up in turns one and two, looping it around. Recent winner KC Keller then found himself out front and had his way with things, en route to his second triumph of the Ocean Speedway year.

Point leader Emali VanHoff crossed the stripe in second, ahead of Brian Baggett, Steven Allee and Chuck Golden.

The 20-lap Hobby Stock main event was all about defending track champion and current point leader Joe Gallaher. The Virginia native got out front and raced to his sixth victory of the season at the quarter mile.

Track favorite Terry Campion returned to action on Friday and brought home a solid runner up finish, with the top-five rounded out by Bobby Gallaher, Adriane Frost and Norm Ayers.

Ocean Speedway now gears up for the two-night running of the 64th Johnny Key Classic. Opening night on Friday hands out $2,000 to the Ocean Sprints winner, while Saturday’s finale is $3,000 to win; $1,000 for second and $800 for third.

Each night will be a guaranteed $300 to start the main event. Extra money will also be on the line for fast time and hard charger both nights in memory of JP Morgan, who considered the Key Classic to be his favorite event.

The three eight-lap Heat Races were won by Gray in the Engler Machine & Tool First Heat Race, Blenden in the Butlerbuilt Racing Products Second Heat Race, and Mallett in the Racing Electronics Third Heat.

It took three tries to start the Feature Race, as Willingham spun in turn one on the first lap, and then Butch David of Geismar, LA flipped on the complete restart and landed on a light pole. The power had to be turned off to remove David from the car, but he was uninjured. Once the car was removed from the light pole, the power was turned back on the field tried again.

The third time was the charm, as Mallett took the lead followed by Blendon, Turpin-Havener, Gray and Mallett. The red flag was once again displayed when Kevin Baham of Amite, LA flipped in turn one. He climbed out O.K. Howard made a big move on the restart, climbing into the fifth position. The caution was waved on lap five when Parker Davis of Mobile, AL spun in turn four.

The top five for the restart were Mallett, Blenden, Turpin-Havener, Gray and Howard. When the field went back to green flag racing, Howard got by Gray to take the fourth spot. On lap six, Turpin-Havener and Howard got by Blenden for second and third respectively, and Miller passed Gray for fifth.

Miller passed Blenden for fourth on lap seven, and Gray moved back into the top five on lap eight getting around Blenden. The last caution flag of the race came out on lap 12 when Dustin Burtron of Seminole, FL stalled on the backstretch. The top five for the restart was Mallett, Turpin-Havener, Howard, Miller and Gray.

Mallett pulled away and by lap 19, the leader had put four lapped cars between himself and Turpin-Havener. Howard passed Turpin-Havener for second on lap 21, but the “Queen of the Wings” came right back on lap 22 to reclaim the second spot. When Mallett took the white flag, he had three lapped cars between himself and Turpin-Havener to seal the deal to the checkered flag.

HUTTON STEALS WIN FROM TROMBLEY IN LAST LAP PASS AT FONDA

Race Report By: Marty Czekala – July 28, 2024

FONDA, N.Y. – Two drivers went into the night at Fonda Speedway looking to tie a record.

Jordan Hutton looked to tie the record for CRSA wins at Fonda with four. On the other hand, Jeff Trombley looked to tie the CRSA all-time high in wins with 14.

In the end, Hutton went around the outside of Trombley on the final lap in turn two to score his third win of the season and go two-for-two in the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge.

“It means a lot to win at Fonda,” said Hutton, whose win rate at Fonda is at 44 percent. “Just a tough season. Lost a lot of motors and different things. We really needed this.”

It was heartbreak again for Trombley, the four-time series champion. The last time we saw Trombley at Afton, his engine expired with under 10 laps to go. This time, a cylinder dropped on the final lap.

“I knew on the restarts I could get him so many times,” said Trombley post-race. “I knew that was my only shot to get him. Once I got out front, I was gonna take his line.”

Hutton redrew the pole in his No. 66 with Blake Warner to the outside. Warner got the jump at the drop of Tyler Groescup’s green. Hutton looked low on lap two, but Warner cleared and opened up the lead.

The 1.6-second lead would disappear violently on lap seven when Warner's No. 21B darted up the track and slammed hard into the turn four wall, cartwheeling, catching fire, and even piercing the catch fence. Warner would walk away from his destroyed X-1 chassis uninjured.

That gave Hutton the lead where he would hold serve on Trombley. The latter would peek low numerous times but couldn’t get it to stick. This would begin a long run in which Hutton would run away, opening the lead up to 2.8 seconds while in lapped traffic. The run would end with three laps to go as Link Pettit crept to a snail’s pace in turn four.

This would set up a four-lap sprint to the finish. On the restart, Trombley would send it downstairs on Hutton in turn two and try to take away Hutton’s line to go out front.

As if Trombley had the win and just had to make no mistakes, the dropped cylinder allowed Hutton to sneak past and take his fourth win at Fonda by under a second, tying Danny Varin and Mike Kiser for the most wins at "The Track of Champions."

“I saw him go low entering one when the white flag came out; I said, 'I got him now,'" said Hutton. "Today marks 20 years since I lost my grandfather. It means a lot to my father and my whole family.”

Despite the dropped cylinder, Trombley limped the No. 3a home in second, tying his best finish of the year at Weedsport, the other I-90 Pit Stop Challenge event.

“The car is going good,” said Trombley. “Every track we go to, this car is good. I went five years without an engine glitch. Now they’re catching up.”

Dalton Herrick rounded out the podium in third, matching his best finish from Afton May 31.

“That’s one of the best cars I’ve had here in a feature at Fonda,” Trombley explained. “It’s about momentum and balance. I was too tight [in heat races]. We got lucky they did some track prep and turned the track around.”

Mike Kiser was given the Maguire Family of Dealerships Magnificent Move of the Race, receiving a $25 bonus.

Cliff Pierce was awarded the Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger, starting 20th and finishing 14th, receiving $25.

21 drivers checked into Fonda tonight.

BRYANT BELL CONTINUES STRONG RUNS IN WMR WITH FIRST ANTIOCH VICTORY

ANTIOCH, CALIFORNIA (July 28, 2024) – 2023 Western Midget Racing champion Bryant Bell of Oakley earned a coveted home track victory, taking his first career Antioch WMR win on Saturday night after a thrilling duel with his Boscacci Racing teammate Anthony Bruno of San Jose. Bell’s victory was also his fourth consecutive triumph in the WMR tour.

Delano’s Terry Nichols started on the pole for the 20-lap feature with Bruno quickly in pursuit. Nichols held off a furious challenge from Bruno, Bell, and Santa Cruz’ Logan Mitchell for a few laps before Bell took over the top spot on the front stretch on lap three. Bruno followed into second place while Mitchell and Nichols battled behind them for third.

The first caution of the feature flew on lap seven for Todd Hawse of Moorpark in turns three and four. He was able to rejoin the race.

On the restart, Bruno attempted to slide his teammate Bell into turn three. He then crossed over to the outside of Bell down the backstretch to nab the lead on lap eight.

The duo raced side-by-side for the top spot with Bell driving back into the lead on lap 12. Bruno clawed back to Bell before the last caution of the event with two to go. Bryant Bell held court over the final laps and won his first career Antioch Speedway victory with WMR followed closely by Bruno and Mitchell. Nichols finished fourth with Hawse charging back to fifth.

The second round of the 2024 Western Midget Racing Triple Crown is up next on August 9 and 10 for the Johnny Key Classic at Ocean Speedway in Watsonville. Friday’s action pays $500 to win while Saturday’s feature will pay $1200 to win. Both nights also pay points towards the $1000 to win Triple Crown championship.

SONIC Night at Double X Speedway

California, MO

Sunday July 28, 2024

By: Dean Reichel

SONIC Night at Double X Speedway was held Sunday night with Winged Sprint Cars, Super Stocks and B Modifieds doing battle at the little bullring just outside of California, MO. SONIC Drive In of California has been a longtime supporter of local dirt track racing and had several activities for the fans in the stands to enjoy throughout the evening.

Spotty rain showers around the area along with a brief shower at 1:30 in the afternoon did not dampen the on track action. Two Super Stock heat races started off the racing action. In the first heat it was Eddie Keeran besting the field over fifth starting Darek Wiss driving the Jody Romig #12 in second, Steve Beach was third, Adam Halley finished fourth and Chris Romig was fifth. Heat two saw Clayton Campbell pick up the win over a hard charging James Nighswonger in his back up car, third was Dale Berry, Ryan Shikles was fourth and Zack Smith chalked up a DNF when his engine expired on lap seven.

The B Mod heat races took to the track next. In heat one Adam Hall picked up the victory over hard charging Tyler Potter, Sturgis Streeter crossed the strip in third with Richard Brainard crossing in fourth. The second heat saw Colson Kirk claiming the checkered flag with Tyler Imhoff in second, Austen Raybourn in third and Jared Riddle finishing fourth.

The 360 Winged Sprint Car heat races put a cap on the first half of the evening’s competition. Miles Paulus would use a hole shot on a complete restart to take the lead and the victory over young gun Garrett Benson in second. Ben Brown finished third, Tyler Blank was fourth, Adam Parmeley finished fifth and Emylee Yoder completed the top six. Darren Langford did not finish. Heat 2 saw Samuel Wagner post a convincing victory over the field. Brother Jack Wagner would steal second at the finish over Paul Solomon in third. Taylor Walton would finish fourth with Aubrey Smith in fifth and Blake Bowers in sixth. Broc Elliott was unable to start the race.

The Super Stock Feature saw numerous cautions for traction challenged drivers but veteran Clayton Campbell looked like he would add another checkered flag this season but as the laps wound down, James Nishwonger would drive past on the high side and pick up the win. Campbell would finish a solid second with Steve Beach crossing the stripe in third. Adam Halley would finish fourth and Ryan Shikles completed the top five. Chris Romig and Dale Berry did not finish and were credited with sixth and seventh. Two drivers were disqualified from the event for unsportsmanlike conduct, specifically rough driving, Eddie Keeran and Darek Wiss. Zach Smith was unable to start due to mechanical issues.

The B Modified feature would see Colson Kirk from Urbana take the lead at the green flag and race to a victory. Kirk was not challenged in the event becoming the eight different feature winner in twelve appearances by the class at Double X. Multi time winner Adam Hall would finish a solid second with Tyler Potter crossing the stripe in third, Sturgis Streeter claimed the fourth spot and Austen Raybourn would complete the top five. Tyler Imhoff, Richard Brainard and Jared Riddle completed the running order in 6th through 8th respectively.

The 360 Winged Sprint Cars closed out SONIC Night at the races with the traditional 25 lap feature event. Miles Paulus would take the lead at the start and run some smooth laps but by lap seven Jack Wagner had overtaken the top spot. The racing action was intense behind the top two as first Broc Elliott and then Tyler Blank began moving up through the field. Blank cracked the top four by lap 21 and the top three a lap later. At checkered it would be Jack Wagner by a straightaway over Tyler Blank whose charge ended at second place. Miles Paulus would ring up a third place finish with Samuel Wagner in fourth and Garrett Benson completing the top five. Broc Elliott advanced from 14th to sixth at the finish with Ben Brown in seventh, Taylor Walton would cross in eighth, Paul Solomon in ninth and Adam Parmeley at tenth. Emylee Yoder would complete the running cars at the checkered in eleventh.

Next Sunday night is season championship nught at Double X for 2024. Winged Sprint Cars, Super Stocks and Pure Stocks will be in competition. Awards will be presented after the evenings races.

Tanner Carrick, Anthony Slaney, Nick Baldwin and Mike Miller earn Carnett Clash wins

By Gary Thomas

Placerville, CA…An entertaining night of racing at the annual Carnett Clash was capped with Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick scoring his first Placerville Speedway win of the season on Saturday.

Sharing victory lane at the event were Anthony Slaney with the Mountain Democrat Ltd. Late Models, Nick Baldwin with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Mike Miller with the Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks.

The 25-lap Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car feature began with Tanner Carrick and youngster Austin Wood going at it for the lead.

The pair battled back and forth before Carrick assumed the point that he would never relinquish. Although Carrick officially led for the duration, it did not come easy for the driver of the TC Guide Service No. 83T.

Placerville’s Shane Hopkins moved into second around lap 11 and began to hound the rear of Carrick, while having to contend with Auburn’s Andy Forsberg at the same time. The trio raced close together for several laps in exciting fashion, but Carrick ran a near mistake free race up front.

Carrick went on to cross the Ron Stahl checkered flag for his eighth career Placerville Speedway Winged 360 triumph, tying Kalib Henry and Glen Boune on the all-time win list. Hopkins came home in second and became the new point leader by two markers ahead of third place finisher Forsberg.

Modesto’s Tony Gomes and Elk Grove’s Bubba Decaires rounded out the top-five. Completing the top-10 were Luke Hayes, Chance Grasty, Izaak Sharp, Austin Torgerson and Austin Wood.

The $1,000 to win Mountain Democrat Ltd. Late Model feature saw Martinez driver Anthony Slaney continue his impressive campaign. Live Oak’s Matt Micheli led the early laps as things clicked off fast and furious.

Slaney looked ultra-fast though as he charged around the high side of the quarter mile bullring. The current Placerville Speedway point leader took over the lead on lap 10 and went on to hold command for the extent, crossing the stripe for his fourth triumph of the season.

Rod Oliver gave it a strong run in second, followed by Micheli, Dan Brown Jr., and Ryan McDaniel.

The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks also showcased a tremendous 25-lap finale, which kept fans on the edge of their seats. Multiple drivers battled it out for the $750 grand prize as part of the Carnett Clash. Tommy Sturgeon led the first couple laps, before Placerville’s Tyler Lightfoot charged to the point.

Lightfoot has put together a solid campaign in the Pure Stock and cut smooth laps up front, while contending with five-time track champion Nick Baldwin. Lapped traffic made things interesting up front and at one point, Baldwin split the difference as he battled with Lightfoot for the top-spot.

With 18 laps complete Baldwin snagged the lead and would go on to lead the final seven circuits for his 30th career Placerville Speedway triumph. Lightfoot came home in second, followed by Kevin Jinkerson, Sturgeon and Wayne Trimble in the top-five.

Placerville’s Mike Miller continued his mastery of the Mountain Democrat Mini Truck division on Saturday, leading all 20 laps for victory. Luke Costa had one of his best career runs in second, followed by Austin Struthers, Thomas Jensen and Paizlee Miller.

Placerville Speedway returns to action this coming Saturday with the $8,500 to win Forni-Humphreys Classic.

Spithaler Seals the Deal in FAST on Dirt Sprints; Rudolph First in Modifieds, Cipriano in RUSH Mods, and Whitling in Pro Stocks

(Franklin, PA July 28, 2024): Brandon Spithaler rebounded from some recent adversity to take the win in the FAST on Dirt Sprint Car main event held at Tri City Raceway Park.

Returning after a short absence, Erick Rudolph claimed the win in the Modified class presented by 21st Energy Group. This was the first event conducted since the track merged its 358 Modifieds with the Big Blocks. Taking the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stock feature was Bobby Whitling. Ayden Cipriano captured the RUSH Sportsmen Modified part of the program.

The FAST on Dirt 410 Sprints took on the Krill Recycling 410s for a twenty-five lapper. It was the second appearance of the year at the track for the FAST touring series.

Dylan Cisney and Cody Bova were on the front row, with Carl Bowser and Zane DeVault in row two. The third row belonged to Dale Blaney and Brandon Spithaler, the series points leader. Jeremy Weaver was sitting in for Andy Cavanaugh, and he rolled away in the seventh position. Jack Sodeman, Jr. was his running mate. Bob Felmlee and John Jerich made up row five. In the sixth row were Derek Hauck and Nathan McDowell.

Cisney jumped out front at the start of the FAST on Dirt Sprint Car race. Bova ran in second in the early going, followed by Spithaler, DeVault, Bowser, Blaney, Sodeman, Weaver, Felmlee, and Jerich.

Spithaler was quick around the top of the big Venango County oval. He moved into second by lap five. Two laps later, he claimed the lead coming off turn two.

Spithaler stretched his lead as the race progressed. Cisney continued in second, followed by Bova, DeVault, and Blaney. Not even lapped traffic slowed Spithaler’s rapid pace.

Spithaler, who demolished a car at the recent Don Martin Memorial, took the checkers ahead of Cisney, DeVault, Bova, and Blaney. Bowser led the next quintet, along with Weaver, Sodeman, Hauck, and Felmlee.

The heat winners in the FAST on Dirt Sprint Series were Cody Bova and Dale Blaney. There was no B Main. The evening’s fastest qualifier was Brandon Spithaler, with a time of 15.337.

At the start of heat two for the FAST on Dirt Sprint Cars, two time and defending track champion, A.J. Flick, tangled with the car of Zane DeVault right at the flagstand. Flick went over, but was not hurt. He was unable to start the feature event.

Chad Reitz had the pole for the start of the Modified twenty lapper for the 21st Century Energy Group sponsored division. Erick Rudolph was on his flank. Rex King, Jr. and Jeremiah Shingledecker were in row two. The third row paired up Austin Eyler and Steve Slater, who was back behind the wheel of his own car. Lenny Liebold, III tagged the tail.

Rudolph jumped out to the early lead, with Shingledecker , King, Reitz, and Eyler following. A spin by Liebold in turn two required a restart with one lap complete. On the restart, King powered into second. Soon thereafter, Slater moved ahead of Reitz for the fourth spot.

Rudolph’s Big Block led the remaining nineteen laps without incident. King was about ten car lengths back. Shingledecker cruised home in third. He was followed by Slater and Reitz. Eyler was sixth, with Liebold in seventh.

The heat winner of the 21st Century Energy Group Modifieds was Erick Rudolph. There was no B Main.

Aaron Smith and Mike Miller shared row one for the fifteen lap Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stock feature. Matt Bernard and Tyler Wyant were behind them. Then came Doug Iorio, II and Bobby Whitling. Pat Fielding and Jason Kimmy were paired in row four. The fifth row had Russ Coyne and Josh Seippel. Rod Laskey and Charlie McMillen had row six covered. Trailing the field was Randy Wyant.

Miller led the early going, with Tyler Wyant running second. Miller dropped out at lap five, giving the lead to Wyant for the restart. Bobby Whitling lined up next to him, and that proved to be the difference maker. Whitling got rolling on the outside and swooped into the lead on the restart.

A spin by McMillen in turn four, followed by a brief flare-up under the hood, led to a green-white-checkered finish.

Whitling led the rest of the way, with Wyant remaining close enough to capitalize on any mistakes that Whitling might make. There were none, so Wyant took home the second place money. Third went to Laskey, fourth to Coyne, and fifth to Bernard. Fielding, Kimmy, Iorio, McMillen, Randy Wyant were the next five finishers.

The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks presented two heat races. The winners were Doug Iorio, II and Mike Miller. There was no B Main.

Brandon Ritchey was inside row one, with Ayden Cipriano as his dancing partner for the start of the RUSH Modified Sportsmen. Kole Holden and Logen Lockhart made up row two. The third row consisted of Lucas Canon, and Darin Gallagher. In row four, Frank Guidace and Chelsie Gallagher were found. The fifth row paired Karston King with Cole Edwards. The sixth row featured Troy McGregor and Makayla Shannon.

Cipriano took the early lead, and Ritchey, Kole Holden, Lockhart, and Darin Gallagher in the top five. The race went non-stop, with the top five remaining unchanged throughout. Canon, Guidace, Chelsie Gallagher, Edwards, and Karston King completed the top ten.

The RUSH Modified Sportsmen also competed in two heat races, with the wins going to Ayden Cipriano and Kole Holden. There was no B Main.

Tanner Claims $4,000 in ESS Outlaw Summer Nationals

By Curtis Berleue (Dundee, NY) | For the first time in 2024, Matt Tanner was victorious in Empire Super Sprints Action at the Outlaw Speedway in Dundee, NY. Leading all 25 laps, the Stephentown, NY driver picked up $4,000 for his efforts on Friday night.

Shawn Donath and Matt Tanner brought the field to the initial green flag. Utilizing the high side of the track, Tanner got the early advantage off turn four to lead lap one.

Behind Tanner, third starting Jason Barney quickly moved into second, with Donath not far behind in third. By lap 5, Tanner still held the lead over Barney and Donath, while Jonathan Preston, Alex Therrien and Billy VanInwegen all battled for positions 4-6.

On Lap 8, Tanner caught the back of the field and began navigating lap traffic. As Tanner and Barney sliced through the slower cars, VanInwegen used traffic to his advantage to take sole possession of third place.

With the laps clicking by, it looked as though nobody had anything for Tanner. On lap 18, Donath was able to get by Barney for second using the extreme high side of the track, but it was smooth sailing for Tanner as he crossed the line for his first victory of the season.

“At the beginning there I was a little nervous running around the top,” said Tanner in victory lane. “Toward the end it felt like the top was going away, I tried the bottom and then it kinda cleaned off down there and I wasn’t sure what to do at the end.”

Crossing the line second was Shawn Donath.

“He (Tanner) was good early and it took a little bit for the tires to fire,” said Donath. “We were just a little bit too late getting going.”

Coming from his 8th place starting spot, Billy VanInwegen rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third.

“We really had a good car, I thought with maybe a yellow around half way we could have had something,” said VanInwegen. “We can’t hang our heads with third, we’re working hard at this deal and making strides for sure.”

24 cars signed into the pit area Friday night, splitting the field into three timed hot lap groups. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Matt Farnham, Alex Therrien and Matt Tanner. E&V Energy heat races were won by Jared Zimbardi, Alex Therrien and Jordan Thomas, while the Cobra Coaches dash presented by Lanes Yamaha was won by Jordan Poirier.

The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is Saturday July 27th at the Woodhull Raceway in Woodhull, NY.

Zimbardi Leads Wire to Wire at Woodhull

By Curtis Berleue (Woodhull, NY) | For the second night in a row, it was a new face in victory lane in 2024 for the Empire Super Sprints, as Braford, PA’s Jared Zimbardi picked up his first win of the season Saturday night at Woodhull. Almost exactly one year from his last ESS victory, it was Zimbardi’s 6th ESS win and 51st career win.

After drawing the number two starting spot, Zimbardi used the high side to his advantage on lap one to take the lead over Pinnacle Pole Award winner Kyle Drum.

With 5 laps complete, it was still Zimbardi out front over Drum, with Jason Barney third, Shawn Donath 4th and Trevor Years fifth. On lap 6, Barney was able to sneak underneath of Drum coming off turn four to take the second position away. With much of the field using the high side of the track, Barney continued to creep the bottom in an attempt to chase down Zimbardi.

Just one caution coming on lap 7 slowed the event, and on the ensuing restart Zimbardi again jumped out to the lead over Barney, with Drum in third.

For the second night in a row, Billy VanInwegen was mounting a charge from deep in the field. Starting 10th, he had moved his way into the top five by lap 8. 5 laps later, he secured the fourth spot, and on lap 18 he slid into a podium spot in third.

While Zimbardi navigated lap traffic, VanInwegen was relentlessly running the bottom in an attempt to catch Barney for second, and with two laps to go he slid by him. It was too little too late, however, as Zimbardi’s half-second lead let him cross the line first.

“It was tough to see coming down the backstretch, I wasn’t sure but I knew he (Barney) was there,” said Zimbardi. “I certainly didn’t want to give him the bottom on that restart. You get a nice launch out of turn four, and if I could get him clear go to the top and if he didn’t get by me off of two I knew I was good.”

“Keeping the momentum was tricky around the top, you just miss it by a little bit and you’re off the racetrack. The last time I won here was in 2016, so we were long overdue.”

Finishing one spot better than the night before, Billy VanInwegen came home second, while Jason Barney rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium.

“I didn’t feel good in the heat race, so we went to work and my guys kept making the car better for me,” said VanInwegen. “These guys just have no quit in them and I’m super thankful.”

In two timed hot lap groups, Jared Zimbardi and Shawn Donath earned Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards, while Jordan Thomas and Trevor Years picked up E&V Energy heat wins. The Cobra Coaches dash presented by Mary Ennis was won by Davie Franek.

The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is this coming Friday, August 2nd at the Can-Am Speedway in LaFargeville, NY.

Kurt tops Tyler in Davis family 1-2 PDTR 360 Sprint Car finish

Myers Jr., Sandholm earn initial A-main victories

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 27, 2024 – If you were to describe the eighth Plymouth Dirt Track Racing program of the 2024 season on Saturday, July 27 in one word, “ordinary” most certainly wouldn’t be it.

Whether it was a father-son 1-2 finish, inspired runs from the back to the front of the field, a heaping helping of slide jobs, a pair of A-main leaders meeting misfortune in the same race, a father driving his daughter’s car to an A-main win or two incidents involving hard impacts with the outer wall and fence, action in the Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing – Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Cars, PDTR B Mods and the visiting Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car divisions provided Plymouth Dirt Track Racing fans with an abundance of wheel-to-wheel entertainment.

Two-time Akright Auto 360 Sprint Car champion Kurt Davis of South Milwaukee bested a career-best run from his son, Tyler, to capture his first A-main victory at The Plymouth Dirt Track in over three years as the Davis’ achieved a rare 1-2 father-son showing in the 25-lap PDTR-MSA main event.

After the first two leaders encountered misfortune, Joel Myers Jr. of Santa Rosa, Calif. nailed down a victory in the 30-lap IRA 410 Sprint Car Series main event.

Mike Sandholm of Oconomowoc made his first start in the car normally wheeled by his daughter, Miranda, a memorable one as he led wire-to-wire en route to victory in the 25-lap PDTR B Mod A-main.

In the 25-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car main event, polesitter Bill Taylor of Boltonville raced into the lead on the drop of the green flag as Kurt Davis, who started fourth, jumped to the high groove of the third-mile clay oval to challenge third starter T.J. Smith of Greenville for second.

The first caution of two cautions appeared on lap 3 when Justin Erickson of Plymouth spun in turn two and collected Clayton Rossmann of Wadsworth, Ill, T.J. Haddy of Waupun and Alex Pokorski of West Bend. All three drivers retreated to the work area before rejoining the race at the rear of the field on the ensuing restart.

Taylor continued to hold down the lead when the race resumed while Kurt Davis stormed into second place along with the cushion on lap 7. Three laps later, the all-time winningest driver in the 25-season history of the Akright Auto Midwest Sprint Car Association powered his way past Taylor to secure the lead on the slick, smooth and multi-groove racing surface.

The second and final caution flag was displayed on lap 13 when Taylor and Brandon Berth of Cascade were involved in an incident in turn two during a four-car duel for second. Both drivers were able to return to the race.

Following the restart, Kurt’s son, Tyler Davis of Franklin, moved up from the sixth starting spot to shoot past Smith into second on lap 14 as ninth starter Robbie Pribnow charged into third along the outside line.

With five laps to go, Kurt Davis caught the rear of the field and had to deal with a swarm of slower cars, which allowed Tyler Davis to reel in his father.

With one lap to go, Tyler pulled to within striking distance his father. However, Kurt Davis proved to be the top Davis family finisher on this occasion as he held on by a car length to capture his first victory in PDTR 360 Sprint Car competition since May 8, 2021, as well as his 26th career PDTR 360 Sprint Car A-main triumph and MSA A-main leading 65th career A-main win.

In his 39th season of competition, Kurt Davis’ PDTR 360 Sprint Car win moved him to within seven victories of all-time PDTR A-main victory leader Brandon McMullen of Oshkosh, who currently sits at the top of the heap at The Plymouth Dirt Track with 33 wins.

The win also helped Kurt Davis to stretch his lead at the top of the MSA 360 Sprint Car all-time A-main victory list to 13 over current runner-up Danny Schlafer of Sussex, who has 52 MSA 360 Sprint Car A-main victories to his credit. It was Davis’ first MSA win since May 15, 2022 at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis.

“I’ve been going through the year doubting myself – am I too old, did I lose some stuff?” Kurt Davis said. “I may be a little bit more out of shape. I may have lost a bit of timing, but this one’s for the old guys. As for running the number 39 this year, we lost Cole Possi last year. The Possi family have been great friends to me. I’m glad I could at least pay them back for all their years of friendship and support with a victory.”

Tyler Davis claimed a career-best second place showing, Pribnow placed third, Smith wound up fourth and Chris Clayton of Waldo mounted an inspired run from the 20th starting spot to secure a fifth place showing in his first appearance of the 2024 season in PDTR and MSA 360 Sprint Car competition.

The 30-lap IRA A-main proved to overflow with action in various ways. Polesitter and early race leader Danny Schlafer of Sussex took the lead at the start before the red flag appeared when Mike Reinke of Howards Grove made hard contact with the turn four wall and flipped on lap 3.

Schlafer controlled the restart and hit lapped traffic on lap 9 as second starter Jake Neuman of New Berlin, Ill., two-time IRA champion Jake Blackhurst of Hanna City, Ill., who started fourth, fifth starter Blake Nimee of Oswego, Ill. and Joel Myers Jr. who started eighth, waged an epic slide job-laden battle for third.

After leading the first 11 laps of the event, Schlafer made contact with a lapped car on lap 12, which launched his No. 25 car on a series of flips into the turn one fence.

With Schlafer out of the race, second starter Jake Neumann of New Berlin, Ill. assumed the top spot until his 3N machine rolled to a stop in turn three on lap 20 to become the second race leader to drop out of the event over the span of eight laps.

Blackhurst inherited the lead with Myers Jr. and Max Guilford of Aukland, New Zealand, who started 11th, lurking close behind. The fourth and final stoppage of the race occurred with five laps to go when Ryan Zielski of Oconomowoc spun.

The closing laps saw Blackhurst, Myers Jr. and Nimee relentlessly duel for the top spot as the trio reeled off slide job after slide job. Myers Jr. eventually swept into the lead along the high line. At the same time, Nimee ducked under Blackhurst utilizing the low groove as the trio raced three-wide coming out of turn four on lap 27.

Myers Jr. surged ahead of Nimee for good on lap 28 with Guilford charging back into the top three as the checkered flag flew to cap the action-packed race with Myers Jr. collecting his first career IRA A-main triumph.

Nimee finished second, Guilford wound up third, two-time PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car champion Travis Arenz of Sheboygan Falls charged up 16 spots from the 20th starting position to place fourth and Blackhurst finished fifth.

Filling in for his daughter, Miranda, Mike Sandholm grabbed the lead on the opening lap of the 25-lap PDTR B Mod A-main.

Sandholm held down a solid cushion over Brad Buckman of Kiel before the first of three caution flags appeared on lap 7 when Scott Quarnstrom of Lake Villa, Ill. spun in turn four.

Sandholm maintained the top spot on the restart as fifth starter Brandon Knepprath of Boltonville slipped into second place on lap 8 with Hunter Larson of Oshkosh, who started seventh taking over third.

The second caution flag appeared on lap 9 for a six-car incident in turn two. After fending off Larson’s challenge for second, Knepprath set his focus on tracking down Sandholm.

As the leaders hit slower traffic, Knepprath remained highly determined as he remained within striking distance when the third and final caution period occurred on lap 19. When the race resumed Knepprath stayed glued to Sandholm’s bumper and stayed there straight through to the finish.

However, Sandholm proved to have just enough to claim his first career PDTR B Mod main event victory. Knepprath finished a career-best second, Larson wound up third, 11th starter Travis Schmidt of Plymouth charged up from the 11th starting spot to finish fourth and Barrett Hummelmeier of Beaver Dam, advanced from the 12th starting position to place fifth.

Jake Blackhurst was the top qualifier in the IRA 410 Sprint Car ranks with a lap of 11.882 seconds.

Clayton Rossmann claimed fast qualifier honors in PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car group qualifying with a time 13.365 of seconds.

The eighth event of the 2024 PDTR campaign, which was sponsored by Hopf Farms, featured 72 total entries, including 28 IRA 410 Sprint Cars, 23 PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars and 21 B Mods.

The next Plymouth Dirt Track Racing program on Saturday, Aug. 3 will feature the PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars, Grand Nationals, B Mods, IRA Lightning Sprints and the High School Racing Association.

HOMETOWN SPRINT CAR VICTORY FOR DALE BLANEY IS HIS 1ST OF 2024 AT SHARON; 1ST FOR JORDAN PERKINS IN STOCKS; KOLE HOLDEN (RUSH MODS) & JOE GABRIELSON (ECONO MODS)

July 27, 2024

By Mike Leone

(Hartford, OH)...Sharon Speedway was able to complete its fourth consecutive program during the month of July as sunshine and hot temps greeted race fans and teams on Saturday night for the annual "Bill Kirila Memorial". Celebrating in the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply victory lane for the "Super Series" program presented by Bala Management were Dale Blaney (Hovis Auto & Truck Supply "410" Sprint Cars), Jordan Perkins (Gibson Insurance Agency Pro Stocks), Kole Holden (HTMA/Precise Racing Products RUSH Sportsman Modifieds), and Joe Gabrielson (Whelen Econo Mods presented by Alcon Mechanical). It was Bucks Fabricating and Mark Thomas Ford Night.

Just when it appeared Dale Blaney's hall of fame career may be coming to a close, the Hartford, Ohio great had a rejuvenating 2023 season aboard Tiger Barris' #32B winning four features including three at Sharon. This season saw Blaney win at Lernerville giving him victories in 33 of his 35 years of racing "410" Sprint Cars. On Saturday night, Blaney led all 30 laps of the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply feature presented by Bala Management holding off sixth starting Cole Duncan for the $4,000 payday, and became the fourth different winner in four races this season.

"I wasn't very good getting started but was really good on the long runs," acknowledged the 60-year-old racer. "I didn't know where to start and spun really hard and thought he (Cole Duncan) had run. I didn't get through this corner very good, but I knew I needed to turn and cover that lane or else he was coming by. Cole is a really good race car driver and runs good when the track gets like this. Him and his dad have a real good package, but my car was really good. I thought I got through traffic really good. We came here with a little different setup than we normally do as we were trying something different for dad's race in three weeks to see if we can learn something and get things better."

Blaney raced into the lead overtaking pole-sitter Dan Kuriger at the start of the feature. Kuriger held down the runner-up spot until lap 11. Duncan, who considers Sharon one of his favorites tracks, was making his season debut at the Hartford, Ohio oval. Duncan actually fell back to seventh on lap two before cracking the top five on lap three. Duncan then worked his way forward and overtook Kuriger for second on lap 12. Duncan chased Blaney throughout the remainder of the event, but came up 0.453 seconds shy. Blaney's 21st career Sharon win came in the Barris Truck Service/Barris Supply/Atwell & Perrine Excavating/Top Shelf Trucking/McFarland Lumber-sponsored #32B.

Sixteenth starting Greg Wilson charged to the front and snuck by Dave Blaney on the last lap to finish third for an all Ohio podium! The elder Blaney was fourth after starting 13th. Kuriger dropped to fifth. Central Pa. invader Dylan Cisney was sixth as A.J. Flick, Dan Shetler, Brandon Matus, and Michael Bauer completed the top 10. Flick set fast time overall against the 28-car field in qualifying with a lap of 14.022. Heat winners were Dale Blaney, John Jerich, and Chris Verda, while Bob Felmlee won the last chance B main.

Last season Jordan Perkins captured his first career Sharon victory in the Pro Stocks. On Saturday night, Perkins returned to victory lane a little more than 13 months later for his second career win. Perkins passed 32-time winner Steve D'Apolito for good on lap 16 and led the remaining laps of the 20-lap Gibson Insurance Agency feature to become the third different winner in four races this season.

"Boy that was a heck of a race," expressed the 33-year-old New Castle, Pa. driver. "Even if I would have finished second I would have been happy the way our year has been and all the more we have gotten to race. I saw Steve (D'Apolito)'s passenger door a couple times. You can't follow cars so you have to try somewhere else and I put it on the top. There was still some moisture left up there after the Sprints. It was touch and feel up there. We made some changes on the car and found something that worked."

D'Apolito led the first 10 laps until losing the lead on lap 11 to Perkins. D'Apolito regained the lead on lap 15 hoping to end a long winless drought, but would lose the lead one lap later when Perkins drove on around. Perkins took the checkered flag first by 0.921 seconds over D'Apolito in his US Roll-Offs/Six Packs Bar & Grille/Four Star Pizza of New Castle/Denise Johnson/Stotish Racing Engines/Advance Auto Parts/Green Roof Rentals/Pagley Construction/Brian Watkins Landscaping-sponsored #13J.

Scott Stiffler came back from his opening lap spin to finish third. Seventy-two-year-old Larry Kugel went ninth to fourth to earn the $100 Summit Racing Equipment hard charger gift card. Jason Jones was fifth. Completing the top 10 were Jim Fosnaught, Russ Coyne, Jamie Duncan, Tony Bruno, and Paul Davis. D'Apolito and Davis won the heat races.

After going on a near five-year winless drought in the RUSH Sportsman Modifieds at Sharon until Kole Holden's victory on June 22, it didn't take the two-time track champion as long to return to victory lane. Holden passed Rob Kristyak on lap 15 and kept 12th starting Chas Wolbert at bay throughout the final laps of the HTMA/Precise Racing Products feature in a race that had three different leaders and four lead changes. The victory maintained Holden's lead in RUSH's $3,500 to-win Weekly Series Championship and also propelled him into the lead of the $1,000 to-win Wedge Motorsports "Route 7 Rumble" Series.

"I knew (Rob) Kristyak would be on the top of the track so it was no surprise when I saw him up there," explained the 25-year-old Tiona, Pa. resident. "I knew my car was good on the bottom so I just stuck right along the tires the whole race. I just stayed cool, calm, and hit my marks. Fortunately I was able to pull a couple car lengths on him and held on for the win."

Holden started second and led the opening lap until JC Boyer took a short-lived lead on lap two. Holden regained the lead back on lap three only to lose it on lap six to Kristyak. The sixth starting Kristyak was looking for his second straight lead and held down the top spot until lap 15 when Holden made the winning pass. Holden then outlasted Wolbert, the division's all-time winningest driver, by 0.788 seconds for his seventh career win in the Dana Holden-owned, Holden Resources/Car-Go Auto Parts/Troyer Dirt Cars/Falconer & Mancross Garage Service/Baker Motorsports-sponsored #2.

Kristyak was third after leading nine laps. Darin Gallagher was fourth as continued his strong runs with his third top four in four starts. Doug Rutana was fifth. Rounding out the top 10 were Ayden Cipriano, Boyer, Logen Lockhart, Jacob Jordan, and Jacob Rutana. Heat victors were Doug Rutana and Holden.

Former UMP Modified racer, Joe Gabrielson, captured his second win in three starts since moving to the Econo Mod division. Gabrielson inherited the lead with two laps to in the 20-lap Whelen feature presented by Alcon Mechanical after the top two cars of Coleton Longwell and Andy Buckley tangled. Gabrielson has now finished in the top two spots in his three feature starts this season.

"I like this division as it's a lot easier to drive these cars with 400 horsepower versus 700 and some that we had in the UMP class," revealed the 36-year-old Bristolville, Ohio driver. "I know we had some cautions and stuff there. I hate it for my buddy Coleton (Longwell). He was the car to beat, but those restarts are where it really happens on a race track like this. (Andy) Buckley got around him then he ended up getting into him and had to go to the tail, but that's racing and it happens. We ended up getting the lead and held Jeremy (Double) off. I was worried about Jeremy; he's the guy to beat in this class."

Gabrielson crossed the finish line first by 1.344 seconds over Jeremy Double in his Big Ed's Tire Service/McCool's Graphics/Wedge Motorsports/MB Customs-sponsored #58 for his 11th career win overall at Sharon for the nine-time UMP Mod winner. Double, who started fifth, has finished in the top four in all four starts this year, but has yet to get to victory lane to become the division's all-time winner.

Bryan Wagner crossed the finish line in third, but was disqualified for an illegal carburetor, which moved Brendan Warner to a career best Sharon finish of third. Sixteen-year-old Travis Carothers was a career best fourth as Dave Shagla, Jr. completed the top five. Chris Peterson was sixth over Gary Sullivan and Gary Olson. Cameron Nastasi, who has been racing Sprint Cars the last four years, returned to the Econo Mod division on Saturday and finished ninth beating out Longwell by 0.002 seconds to earn the $100 Performance Bodies nosed out contingency gift card. Double, Buckley, and Dennis Lunger, Jr. won the heat races over the 23-car field.

Coming up on Saturday (August 3) will be the return of the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Big-Block Modifieds racing for $2,000 to-win. The Gibson Insurance Agency Pro Stocks will be competing in "Ray's Race" remembering the late Ray Virgile. The Billy's Garage RUSH Sprint Cars and the Whelen Econo Mods presented by Alcon Mechanical will also be on the card. Racing will get underway at 7 p.m.

Krummert continues winning ways in big Block modifieds; Jones wins first sprint feature in nearly 20 years in 305s; Gabany wins first of ‘24 in 602 crate mods; Callahan wins 21st career in minis.

By Jim Balentine (Mercer,Pa)

On a beautiful sunny warm late July, Saturday Michaels Mercer Raceway was able to complete its fourth show of the year. Along with autograph night for the racesaver 305s and the big block modifieds, Garrett Krummert continued his winning ways in ‘24 by winning the big block modified feature; Rod Jones hopped into his son Roman’s racesaver 305 sprint and picked up his first sprint car win in nearly 20 years; Eric Gabany returned to victory Lane for the first time since 2022 in the 602 crate modifieds; Tim Callahan won his 21st career mini stock feature; the PA thunder on the dirt vintage modifieds were on hand as well with a great turnout with former late model racer Wally Stock winning the modified portion and Vincenzo Fiollo won the sportsman mod. The entire show was completed by 11:02.

The big Block modifieds made their second appearance of the year and an unsanctioned event and Garrett Krummert who started 4th won his six career in the big blocks at Mercer. The slim 10 car field was led by Brad Rapp for the first 2 laps until Krummert got around on lap 3. Krummert well then start to pull away from the field with the wrap, not leaving him out of his eyesight, but the real battle was for third fourth and fifth as a contested battle between Rapp, last nights winner at Lernerville Rex King Jr, Canadian Tyler Willard, and Will Thomas would thrill the crowd. Rapp would keep a small distance from the others as they would slice and dice going 3 wide occasionally.

King Jr would then overtake Rapp on lap 23 as Thomas moved into 4th on lap 22. King was a little too late to catch Krummert as he won by a massive 5 seconds in the non stop 8 minute 25 lapper. Rapp would be 3rd, Thomas 4th and Willard 5th. Krummert would say,”that was good starting up from helped but we will take it!! we have run 2nd too much..we needed a win.. if your car is good you can leave your car on the bottom and I have been coming here for about 20 years.. hopefully this turns things around so we can battle it out with Rex.”

The Jones family goes back to the first year of Mercer in 1951 and four generations have competed at the famed speedway. 3rd generation driver and veteran Rod Jones who has a 410 sprint win along with 29 mod lite features hopped into his son Roman, a 4th generation’s Racesaver 305 sprint and picked up his first victory in the class leading flag to flag. The race was marred by a violent double flip on lap 3 involving Jeremey Kornbau and Greg Dobrosky as both cars crashed hard into the wall in turn 2 flipping violently. Both drivers were OK. On the restart Jones would take off again as former track champion Jake Gomola would keep pace keeping Jones no further ahead than 1 second. last weeks feature winner Andy priest would suffer motor problems in the seat race, and have to start at the rear of the field in 16th place. Priest would methodically move his way through the field getting up to 5th by lap 15.

Mike Koehler who made his first appearance from Williamsport, Pennsylvania the home of the Little League World Series was impressive in his first run battling against the long time Mercer regulars staying in the top 5 the entire race. Another great battle occurred as Jim Pattock, Jarrett Rosencrance, and Vivian Jones along with Koehler would utilize the wide surface trying to catch the top 2. Priest would then move into 4th at lap 16 to challenge Koehler as Vivian Jones would stay in 3rd. At the end Jones would hold of Gomola by 1.1 seconds and become the 4th different winner in 4 races! Koehler finished 3rd ahead of Vivian Jones and Andy priest. When announcer Jim Balentine said that the Jones’ are now the first father and 2 children team to each win a sprint feature in the same division at Mercer since Lou,Dave and Dale have all won sprint features there…Thats pretty cool!!” Rod would say, “Roman is going off to college and he wanted to go with his buddies this weekend so I said I’ll drive!! It’s been since 2016 since I was in the 305 class but as far as winning a sprint feature…it’s been over 20 years!!”

Eric Gabany would lead from the pole to pick up his 17th 602 crate modified feature at Mercer and also become the 4th different crate winner in 4 races. Garrett Krummert doing double duty tonight would jump out of his feature winning big block modified into the crate modified and from his six starting spot move up to second by lap 10 in a thrilling inside pass of three other cars. Gage Priester, Jim Bryce and Pat Lane would put on an exciting battle trying to catch Gabany but did not see Krummert slowly moving into the mix. Krummert made a daring inside move from turn 3 to 4 sliding into 2nd. Krummert would then try to catch Gabany and hope for a caution but the rest of the race went caution, free ending in 8.41 minutes and Gabany winning by 2.8 seconds. “Anytime Krummert shows up you know he is going to be there but it wa a good run the car was perfect and the track was beautiful!! Gabany would say, “After not winning last year and this year you don’t know if it’s going to happen again so it’s good!! Preister was 3rd, Jim Bryce 4th, and Pat Lane 5th.

22 mini stocks were scheduled to start the nightcapper but Joe Campbell was a scratch after a fire erupted in the fuel cell in his heat race ending his night early. Campbell was ok.

Corey Bice and Chaz Smith would be on the front row both looking for their first career Mercer win. Bice would take the lead and held off the competition until lap 7 when 20 time winner Tim Callahan would overtake Bice. Devin Haley had another great run going in 3rd. Last weeks winner Andy Thompson would hit the turn 2 wall on lap 9 ending his night.

On the restart Mike Kelly would go high in turn 2 and crash hard into the outside wall with 2 wheels up on it. Kelly was ok. Chaz Smith who is improving each week would climb back into 4th on lap 11 and would try to catch Haley. Meanwhile up front Callahan would pull away and defeat Bice by 1.6 seconds to win his 21st career mini stock feature. Haley would end up 3rd, Smith 4th and Randy Ealy 5th. Callahan who is the sheriff of Mercer county would say ,”this division has advanced so far each year it gets faster and faster we built the car over the winter and been racing everywhere to try to get this car together. We just don’t know the right tires or gearing but we got it together tonight. This is a very competitive division!”

Next week will be the Al Priester memorial for the crate 602 modifieds as we honor one of the longtime supporters of the speedway who passed away this May of cancer. There will be a silent and a Chinese auction before the races behind the grandstands

Winchester Speedway, Virginia

Kasey Weaver and Caleb Harris Double Up

Winchester Speedway hosted a unique event in that with forty sprinters signing in the owner decided we would split the field in to two groups and run two complete races for the field. Heat races kicked off the night with Reed Thompson and Landon Priced headed to feature one and Kolby Weaver and Zach Rhodes headed to feature two. On to feature one with Kasey Weaver and Ken Duke jr. pacing the field to green with Weaver out first and Duke right behind. The twenty-lap feature was going by fast and even after a couple quick yellows for spinners Weaver would stay steady and in control even with charges from Duke who was holding off Austin Reed. With one to go the front of the field was nose to tail but Kasey Weaver would not waver and flashed under the Checkered flag first. On to the second feature it with Dale Schweikart and Caleb Harris at the front as the green waved with Schweikart moving to the front and Harris staying second with Hunter McFadden and Fred Arnold right behind. Like the first feature even with a couple quick yellows for a stalled car and a spinner Schweikart was strong out front leaving the others to fight over the other top spots. With a few laps to go Schweikart showed his smooth quick pace and went under the white flag with a few car lengths cushion but going in to four headed for the checkered flag a stopped spun car was unavoidable and his night ended right there. On the re-start Caleb Harris took of and made no mistakes with the pressure from behind flashing under the waving checkered flag for his first win ever. At the line for Feature one it was Kasey Weaver, Ken Duke jr., Austin Reed, Brad Mellot, Drew Young, Landon Price, Reed Thompson, Colton Hendershot, John Scarborough, Daren Bolac, Jeff Weaver, Croix Beasom, Donnie Hendershot, Doug Dotson, Todd Lynn, Jarrett Cavalet, Kruz Kepner, Chris Humblet, Matthew Leach and Ben Miklos. Feature Two at the line it was Caleb Harris, Hunter McFadden, Fred Arnold, Ryan Lynn, Mike Melair, Braeden Varner, Dylan Shatzer, Colton Moyer, Jerald Harris, Paul Moyer, Matt Kline, Matt Mullins, Zach Rhodes, Kolby Weaver, Chris Ware, Dale Schweikart, John Smith, French Grimes, Jimmy Humblet and Aaron Leach. We want to thank Winchester Speedway for having our first two group feature race events and the stands had plenty of fans to let us show case our races. Next week it’s back to Hagerstown Speedway in Hagerstown, Md. On Saturday night August 3rd as all three series will be back racing again.

Williamson, Weldon and Yeigh Produce Wins at Huset's Speedway During The Border Battle Presented by Nordstrom's Automotive

Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (July 28, 2024) - Garet Williamson, Gaige Weldon and Cory Yeigh drove to victory on Sunday at Huset's Speedway during The Border Battle presented by Nordstrom's Automotive.

Williamson used a late-race pass in traffic to capture the $7,500-to-win Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars main event. He became the first repeat winner in the division at the track this season.

"That was probably the most fun I've had at this place or really anywhere," he said. "I peeked up and there was 10 to go and we were third or fourth. I drove the crap out of it. Oh man, that was a lot of fun."

Brendan Mullen led the first eight laps before Chase Randall took the lead in traffic on Lap 9. Randall's advantage was more than a second and a half when Williamson passed Mullen for second place on Lap 20. He rapidly closed on Randall a couple of laps later before pulling off a slide job in turns one and two on Lap 24 en route to the race win.

Randall finished second for the fourth time at Huset's Speedway this season.

"That one kind of stings a little bit," he said. "I'm proud of our progress tonight. It's really good to get another good finish, but it stings a little bit. I felt I let that one get away. I was getting too patient behind lapped cars."

Kerry Madsen rounded out the podium.

"I thought we had a great race car," he said. "It's great to get a podium."

Mullen placed fourth and Tim Kaeding ended fifth.

Gage Pulkrabek set quick time during qualifying before Matt Juhl, Justin Henderson, Kaeding and John Carney II won the heat races. Tyler Drueke was the B Main winner.

Weldon dominated the non-stop Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series A Main, leading all 20 circuits for his first career triumph at the track. He is the ninth different division winner in nine races this season.

"It feels great," he said. "It means a lot. We've been trying for a couple of weeks now and haven't had very much luck."

Nicholas Winter posted a second-place showing with Ryan Serrao finishing third, Amelia Eisenschenk fourth and 12th-starting Brady Donnohue fifth.

Serrao, Cole Olson, Winter and Weldon were the heat race winners. Corbin Erickson scored the B Main victory.

Yeigh became the first driver to record three victories at Huset's Speedway this season as he topped the 20-lap Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks feature.

Brandon Ferguson led the first four laps before he caught the infield berm in turns three and four, turning him sideways. Points leader and fifth-running J.J. Zebell had nowhere to go and plowed into Ferguson.

Chris Ellingson inherited the lead and was out front for one lap before ninth-starting Yeigh drove around him on Lap 6. He paced the field on the bottom groove for the remainder of the race to win by 0.929 seconds.

Ellingson held off 12th-starting Matt Steuerwald for the runner-up result. Zach Olivier placed fourth and Billy Prouty was fifth.

Craig Hanisch and Kyle DeBoer recorded heat race wins.

Huset's Speedway will be dormant for the next three weekends until resuming competition on Aug. 25 for Royal River Casino Night showcasing The Bull Haulers Brawl Championship Night for Sprint Cars featuring the Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars, the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks and the Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series.

Joey Ancona rockets to Ocean Sprints win Friday night in Watsonville

Watsonville, CA…Making just his second Ocean Speedway start of the season on Friday Night, Clayton’s Joey Ancona raced to his third career Taco Bravo Sprint Car victory, leading all but one lap in the feature.

Fellow winners on Friday evening were Tyler Tucker with the IMCA Sport Mods, Thomas Cumming with the Four Bangers and Bryant Bell with the visiting Western Midget Racing.

The Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo main event began with Fresno traveler Kyle Rasmussen leading the opening night, before Ancona slipped by for the top-spot on lap two.

After that Ancona had his way with things out front, although Rasmussen stayed somewhat close over the duration of the contest. Several cautions slowed the flow, but Ancona hit his marks on every restart.

Ancona eventually crossed under the Ed Entz checkered flag to pick up the win ahead of Rasmussen, Ocean Sprints point leader Caleb Debem of Salinas, Jennifer Osborne from Geyserville and Oakdale’s Brad Dillard.

“We haven’t raced all that much this year, so it feels great to get a victory tonight in Watsonville,” said Ancona. “We have a lot of national races coming up out here, so we really wanted to get some laps before all that occurs. I want to thank my entire family and our sponsors for making it happen.”

The 20-lap IMCA Sport Mod finale featured some solid racing throughout the pack. Reigning Ocean Speedway champion Chuck Golden of Pittsburgh set the early pace up front.

Several drivers fought for position behind him however and kept the crowd on hand intrigued. A lap 15 restart changed the complexion of the race when Delhi driver Tyler Tucker blasted to the outside and grabbed the lead that he would never relinquish.

Tucker went on to score his initial Ocean win over Golden, Jason Ryan Jr., Chris Falkenberg and point leader Emali VanHoff.

The quiet riot Four Banger main event was all about San Jose’s Thomas Cumming, who drove away to earn his fourth victory of the season at Ocean Speedway.

Watsonville’s own Joshua Silva blasted to the lead at the waving and the green flag and held command over the first few circuits. Once Cumming got by though, that was all she wrote, as he crossed under the stripe by over two seconds over Silva, point leader Peter Vannerus, Ken Keegan and Nicole Beardsley.

Bryant Bell of Oakley, Calif. prevailed for his fourth consecutive Ocean Speedway Western Midget Racing win on Friday night, holding off Logan Mitchell of Santa Cruz to take the 20-lap feature.

Weisberg led the first 17-laps on a fast-paced Ocean Speedway fresh after track prep. 2023 champion Bryant Bell of Oakley, San Jose’s Anthony Bruno, and Santa Cruz’ Logan Mitchell hounded Weisberg in a tight formation. All three drivers pursuing Weisberg were previous winners in the WMR series, adding to the pressure of the situation for the second year Midget racer.

Bruno sailed inside of Bell for second in turn three but got sideways, allowing Mitchell to seize third on lap 15.

Weisberg’s bid for his first ever WMR victory ended when his No. 15 Stealth Chassis went up in smoke, setting up a three-lap shootout between Bell and Mitchell.

Bell outfoxed Mitchell over the final three circuits on the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds dirt track for the win, followed by Mitchell, Bruno, Roseville’s Josh Young, and Las Vegas’ Kyle Hawse.

Ocean Speedway returns to action this coming Friday August 2nd with another four-division program. On tap will be the Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo, IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Sport Mods and Hobby Stocks.

Must See Racing Perfit Sprint Car Series

SANDUSKY, Ohio (July 26, 2024) – Bobby Santos III kept his streak of perfection in the Must See Racing Perfit Sprint Car Series going by winning his third race in as many starts this season on Friday night.

Racing as part of the Fast Friday portion of Hy-Miler Supermodified Nationals week at Sandusky Speedway, Santos took the lead of the 30-lap feature from Charlie Schultz on a restart two laps prior to the halfway point.

From there, the Franklin, Mass., veteran grew his advantage to a full straightaway en route to his 10th career series victory – becoming just the fourth driver in history to reach double-digit wins and tying reigning champion Jason Blonde for third on the all-time list.

“The restarts in these cars are always unpredictable; the biggest thing is that Charlie is a good, clean racer and gave me plenty of racetrack so that the two of us could battle heads-up,” said Santos in victory lane. “Racing against competition like that is always valuable, and it’s cool to be part of Hy-Miler weekend with the sprints and supermodifieds racing on the same card.

“This is a great win for our team, and we’ll just keep working toward even more.”

Schultz did what he could to stay with Santos in the closing stages, but had to settle for second in the end. It was, however, the home-state driver’s best finish so far this season.

“I wouldn’t say that he [Santos] snookered me, but that he just had a better car,” said Schultz. “I just couldn’t get off the corner … in turn two, but to finish second after the season we’ve had so far … it feels like a win.”

Mike McVetta, who ran double duty by competing both with Must See Racing and the ISMA supermodifieds, finished third in the Dick Myers Racing sprinter after starting eighth.

Five-time series champion Jimmy McCune was fourth after having to drop to the tail for the initial start due to replacing a loose oil plug following his initial push start. Kevin Mingus closed the top five.

Sixth through 10th were Dorman Snyder, Luke Griffith, point leader Joe Liguori, Tom Geren, and fast qualifier Colton Bettis.

Bettis, the standout 14-year-old rookie driving for car owner Aaron Pierce, started off the evening with his first-ever Must See Racing Quick Time Award but was inverted to sixth in the feature lineup and fought a throttle linkage issue later in the race. He was the final driver to fall out and finished 10th.

Two-time defending Must See Racing Maxima Midwest Lights champion Cody Gallogly won the companion crate sprint car main event, using a restart on lap 13 of 25 to take the top spot from Andrew Bogusz and leading the rest of the way.

It was a special win for Gallogly, who was not only celebrating a birthday at the track, but whose stepson Blane was also assisting with the public address call of Friday’s Midwest Lights race.

“You can’t ask for much more than that,” Gallogly noted with a smile.

Bogusz hung on to finish second after leading the first 12 laps, with J.J. Henes completing the podium ahead of Sawyer Stout and Charlie Baur.

Polesitter Brandon Tregembo crashed in turn four with 12 laps complete, while running inside the top five, and failed to finish. He was credited with 12th in the final results.

Must See Racing teams head next to Ohio’s Midvale Speedway on Saturday, Aug. 3.

The results:

410 sprint car feature (30 laps): 1. 22a-Bobby Santos III, 2. 9s-Charlie Schultz, 3. 50m-Mike McVetta, 4. 88-Jimmy McCune, 5.

BRYANT BELL EARNS FOURTH CONSECUTIVE OCEAN SPEEDWAY WMR VICTORY

WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (July 26, 2024) – Bryant Bell of Oakley, Calif. prevailed for his fourth consecutive Ocean Speedway Western Midget Racing win on Friday night, holding off Logan Mitchell of Santa Cruz to take the 20-lap feature. Bell lifts his recent record to five wins in the last six WMR events as well. A trip to Bell’s home track at Antioch Speedway looms on Saturday night as the 2023 champion continues to lead the 2024 battle.

Watsonville’s Ocean Speedway action opened with Mitchell and San Jose’s Anthony Bruno claiming the eight-lap heat races. Southern California racers Adam Weisberg of Santa Clarita and Todd Hawse of Moorpark then shared the front row for the main event.

Weisberg led the first 17-laps on a fast-paced Ocean Speedway fresh after track prep. 2023 champion Bryant Bell of Oakley, San Jose’s Anthony Bruno, and Santa Cruz’ Logan Mitchell hounded Weisberg in a tight formation. All three drivers pursuing Weisberg were previous winners in the WMR series, adding to the pressure of the situation for the second year Midget racer.

Bruno sailed inside of Bell for second in turn three but got sideways, allowing Mitchell to seize third on lap 15.

Weisberg’s bid for his first ever WMR victory ended when his No. 15 Stealth Chassis went up in smoke, setting up a three-lap shootout between Bell and Mitchell.

Bell outfoxed Mitchell over the final three circuits on the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds dirt track for the win, followed by Mitchell, Bruno, Roseville’s Josh Young, and Las Vegas’ Kyle Hawse.

“Shoutout to Adam to have a run like that. Keep your head up after having a run like that,” Bell said. “Thank you to Tony Boscacci for busting his butt in the shop. That’s where races are won."

Ayrton Gennetten Attains Victory with POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints at Lakeside Speedway

Kansas City, KS. (7/26/24) Ayrton Gennetten would use precision and precise timing to snatch victory with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint in the Sunflower State Showcase presented by Start2Finish TV to notch his fifth league victory in an outstanding feature event at Lakeside Speedway in the caution free feature event.

Flying onto the smooth surface with talented entrants of the POWRi 410’s would see Brian Brown set a quick qualifying time of 14.120-second lap with Jason Martin and Xavier Doney each earning heat racing victories.

Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Brian Brown and Ayrton Gennetten lined up in the front row as Brian Brown would gain the lead on the opening lap with Ayrton Gennetten, Jason Martin, Austin McCarl, and Blake Hahn all raced within the top five.

Showing speed after gaining the initial lead, Brian Brown would appear to be the cream of the class as laps began to tick away at a rapid rate with Ayrton Gennetten moving into second with Austin McCarl taking third with the top three separating from the field.

Displaying outstanding action in an intense feature, late race dramatics would rear as Ayrton Gennetten would catch the front-running Brian Brown with five laps remaining as Austin McCarl would also show a nose on the low line for the top position.

Sliding into the lead late, Ayrton Gennetten would set Brian Brown up to perfection by showing low only to pass on the high side of turns three and four with only three laps remaining as Austin McCarl would gain ground and move into the runner up spot.

Leading the final revolutions, Ayrton Gennetten would not be denied in earning his fifth career POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed main event with Austin McCarl hustling into the runner-up position late.

“I was working on Brian all race, Once that flagman showed five to go I knew it was time to move.” said Ayrton Gennetten in the Kansas City Kansas victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “I knew we had a fast car all night and a win like this shows just how far we have come as a team this year, what a fun race”.

Challenging closely behind would find leader of twenty-two laps Brian Brown placing on the final podium placement as Emerson Axsom would be among the frontrunners all feature to fourth with Xavier Doney rounding out the top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints in the Sunflower State Showcase presented by Start2Finish at Lakeside Speedway.

Randall and Halverson Triumphant at Jackson Motorplex During Merle Johnson Memorial Border Battle Presented by New Fashion Pork & SW Broadband

Inside Line Promotions - JACKSON, Minn. (July 26, 2024) - Chase Randall and Brandon Halverson collected the spoils of victory on Friday during the Merle Johnson Memorial Border Battle presented by New Fashion Pork & SW Broadband at Jackson Motorplex.

Randall captured the $7,000 top prize and a unique trophy for winning the Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars A Main.

"It's really special to win a really, really special race," he said. "I definitely felt a lot of pressure. Once I got to lapped traffic I was committed to the top in (turns) one and two. Once I got close to guys I felt myself slowing down and couldn't get off the corners. I was searching a little bit. I saw the bottom was still good in (turns) one and two. We were able to hold them off.

"We've been making a lot of gains the past couple of weeks on the bigger tracks. It's good to head into these next couple of weeks with a lot of momentum."

Randall led the distance of the 25-lap feature, but it wasn't without any drama. Traffic began to jumble things up in the final 10 laps as the top five began bunching together. Aaron Reutzel passed Garet Williamson for second place on Lap 20 and Scott Bogucki got by Williamson for third place two laps later. Bogucki then passed Reutzel down the backstretch on Lap 24, but when Reutzel slid in front of Bogucki entering turn three the two made contact. Bogucki endured a vicious flip that ended his night early and Reutzel finished toward the back of the pack as well.

Kaleb Johnson inherited second place for a green-white-checkered restart. Randall was smooth out front during the final two laps to win by 1.114 seconds and Williamson made a last-lap pass on Johnson to score a second-place result.

"We were good early on," Williamson said. "In traffic we really struggled with being balled up. Hats off to Chase and their whole crew. I struggled where to be at on the track. Luckily I got by Kaleb to get back up the podium. To be on the podium is nothing to hang our heads about. Second stings, but we'll build on it."

Johnson's third-place effort marked his third podium outing in as many starts at Jackson Motorplex this season.

"I'm a little upset with myself on that last corner," he said. "I drove it too hard and let Garet get by me. Congrats to Chase and the No. 2ks team."

Matt Juhl finished fourth after starting 10 th and 11th-starting Christopher Thram was fifth.

Kerry Madsen and Randall were quickest in their qualifying groups before the heat races were won by Johnson, Brooke Tatnell, Bogucki and Dusty Zomer. Tim Estenson was the B Main winner.

Halverson held the lead throughout the 20-lap Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Cars presented by Heser Auto & Detailing main event. It marked his first winged sprint car win at the track.

"Steve Stoermer allowed me to drive this car tonight and it's the best 305 sprint car I've ever sat in," he said.

Jacob Peterson reeled in Halverson as traffic neared on Lap 8, but a caution slowed the race. Halverson built more than a one-second advantage following the restart before Peterson closed to within two tenths of a second as Halverson was stymied while trying to lap a fellow competitor with only a handful of circuits remaining. However, Halverson was able to make the move in the waning laps and hold on for the victory by 0.462 seconds.

Peterson placed second with Jeremy Kerzman ending third. Brett Allen was fourth and Brandon Bosma advanced from 13 th to fifth.

Jake Greenwood, Mathew Jasper, Brandon Buysse, Kerzman and Allen were the heat race winners. Hunter Hanson and Tyler Rabenberg recorded B Main victories.

The next event at Jackson Motorplex is the FENDT Jackson Nationals, which runs Aug. 15-17 and showcases the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series.

Kalib Henry wins nail-biter for 1st Attica 410 win; Moore nips Bores for 3rd straight late model victory; Miller nurses engine to 6th 305 win

Friday, July 26, 2024

By Brian Liskai

ATTICA, Ohio – Sacramento, California’s Kalib Henry out-dueled Cap Henry to score his first 410 sprint win at Attica Raceway Park on Ohio Truck sales/Adkins Group Night, Friday, July 26. Henry, who started sixth in the 30-lap A-main, took the lead from the defending track champion on lap seven and held off several challenges from Cap Henry to score the win.

“Boss man and everybody back home are super happy. I can’t thank Doc and Rebecca enough for the opportunity they’ve given me. Nate for cheering us along back home and all my family that’s back home…going to see you guys in two weeks. Hats off to Kevin. He gave us a hell of a race car. I really didn’t know where to be out front in lapped traffic. I give credit where credit is due. Cap raced me hard, he raced me clean. We struggled here quite a bit. Drew the six and didn’t know what to expect the way the track was. I knew when Cap struck his nose in there I had to turn it up and move around and see what I could do,” said Henry beside his Running Boxer Farms, Harris Distributing Company, Valvoline, K1, Berryman Racing Shocks, Chalkstix backed #101.

The victory in the Callie’s Performance Products 410 A-main is the third of the year for Kalib Henry, adding to a pair of victories at Fremont Speedway.

For Cap Henry it was a good point night in his quest to earn another Attica track title and a second straight All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group title. AFCS and Attica point leader Cale Thomas finished fourth behind DJ Foos while TJ Michael rounded out the top five.

While the scorecard will show Mansfield, Ohio’s Kyle Moore lead all 25 laps of the Whistle Stop Presents the Dirt Nerd Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model Feature, it was not nearly that easy. Mike Bores came on strong and challenged Moore lap after lap but Moore hit his marks and drove to his third straight feature win at Attica over Bores, Rusty Schlenk, Casey Noonan and Devin Shiels. It’s Moore’s fourth career win at Attica…all of them coming this season.

In fact, since the opening two weeks of the season, Moore has not finished out of the top three to lead the track’s point standings.

“They say the first win is the hardest to get and it was. Last year I probably should have had one or two of them and got passed in the last corner. This is a dream,” said Moore beside his Kepling Flooring, Tye Tworg Longhorn, Joyride Transportation, Smitley Towing, Short Stop, Malcuit Race Engines, Wilson Realty, Robin Jakubick, RL Bond Septic, Hepthorn Golf Cart Sales, House of Spud, K&B Septic Service, Coffman Composites, Team Midwest Paint, Platinum Design backed #1*.

Fremont, Ohio’s Jamie Miller knew his engine was hurt in his 305 sprint car after his heat race. A call to his engine builder – who told him to put block sealer in it and pray – didn’t ease his mind any. However, the four time and defending Attica track champion was able to nurse his car home for his sixth win of the year at the track. Of the 12 features at Attica in 2024, Miller has only finished out of the top five in one event, a 17th place finish on the second night of the year.

Jimmy McGrath led the opening lap of the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints feature before Miller took over. Despite several cautions Miller was able to drive to his 45th career win at Attica over Bryan Sebetto, Dustin Stroup, McGrath and Logan Riel.

The win also pads Miller’s lead in the NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales points as he looks for his first title in the series.

“We knew we had a problem after the heat. The oil pan was full of water. We called Scott Gressman and he told us to put block sealer in it and heat it up. It got up to 270 degrees in the feature…I don’t know how it made it,” said Miller beside his Boca Construction, JLH General Contractors, Kenny Kelb Farms, Tuck Pointing America, Queen of Clean, Smitty’s Pizza, Roberts & Sons Contracting, Pizza Wheel, Crown Battery, Reedtown Tavern, Fostoria Mod Shop, Sandy’s Dad, Gressman Powersports, Phil Rister, Slade Shock Technology backed #26.

Attica Raceway Park will take a couple of weeks off for the Attica Independent Fair before returning Friday, Aug. 16 with the AFCS 410 and 305 sprints and UMP late models in action.

Reutzel and Goos Jr. Hustle to Jackson Motorplex Wins During The Livewire Printing Company 360 Shootout Presented by Tweeter Contracting

Inside Line Promotions - JACKSON, Minn. (July 25, 2024) - Aaron Reutzel and Lee Goos Jr. charged to victories on Thursday evening at Jackson Motorplex, which hosted The Livewire Printing Company 360 Shootout presented by Tweeter Contracting.

Reutzel powered from the fourth starting position into the lead on the opening lap and never looked back during the 25-lap Gunderson Racing Inc. Midwest Sprint Touring Series/Midwest Power Series 360 Sprint Cars Wieskus Memorial. Cautions on Lap 7 and Lap 12 bunched the field together, but Reutzel was strong on the restarts as well as navigating through traffic to win by 3.357 seconds.

"The track was phenomenal," he said. "Hats off to the track crew there. It was a good crowd tonight. It's an awesome night.

"It's awesome to win memorial races; to honor someone, it's great. It's a big deal when you're name's on a memorial race."

Cameron Martin earned a second-place result, which is his career-best outing at Jackson Motorplex.

"We've always been really fast here and it's finally good to put a full night together," he said.

Kaleb Johnson rounded out the podium.

"I'm happy with it," he said. "A third-place run is very good for our team, especially starting seventh. I'm proud of this team. It's a big memorial race tomorrow night and I'm looking forward to it."

Chase Randall finished fourth and Tanner Holmes was fifth.

Reutzel set quick time during qualifying before Matt Juhl, Martin and Chris Martin posted heat race wins.

Goos Jr. put on a show during the 20-lap Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Cars presented by Heser Auto & Detailing main event as he rallied from 16 th to score the impressive triumph.

Johnny Sullivan paced the field for the first dozen laps. Meanwhile, Goos Jr. climbed into seventh by the first caution of the race on Lap 3. He took over the runner-up position following a restart on Lap 10 before he made the race-winning pass on the bottom exiting turn two on Lap 13. Goos Jr. pulled away to win by 2.159 seconds.

"I think I just got a little bit lucky," he said. "Those starts were great for me. Nine cars in two laps, that's what really helped. I figured we'd be lucky to crack the top 10."

Sullivan finished second with Koby Werkmeister placing third. Jeremy Kerzman was fourth and Joe Miller ended fifth.

Brandon Allen, Bill Johnson, Werkmeister, Matt Johnson and Miller were the heat race winners. Goos Jr. and Dylan Waxdahl posted B Main victories.

Three Straight for Gorden on Speedweek

7/24/24

By Kaleb Hart

Lebanon, OR - After four rounds of the 2024 Northern Speedweek Tour “Tribute to Fred Brownfield”, Dominic Gorden has established himself as the man to beat following a third straight win at Willamette Speedway on Wednesday night.

Tyler Thompson looked like he would have a hometown crowd leaving happy as he set out to a decent sized lead. While Thompson was leading, Gorden worked on chasing him down, experimenting with multiple race lines and finding excellent forward drive off the bottom of turn four. With slower traffic looming, Thompson left the low side open off turn four on lap 19 and Gorden took advantage, making the race winning pass off the corner. Thompson would rally back for one more shot at Gorden coming to the checkered flag but in the end, it was Gorden taking the $3,000 top prize. Thompson settled for his third straight runner up finish and Dominic Scelzi was third for the second straight race.

Robbie Price was fast time on the night, just a couple of tenths off a track record at 12.370 seconds. Heat race wins went to Luke Didiuk, Thompson and Scelzi.

Gorden leads the current speedweek points and the pass master standings.

“Racing Back to School Night” held at Double X Speedway.

The annual “Racing Back to School Night” at Double X Speedway was held Sunday July 21, 2024. This annual event organized by The Tyler Utz family and racing friends provides back packs full of school supplies to all school age kids in attendance at the evening’s races. For 2024 organizers had almost 200 backpacks available for distribution. In addition to the school supply giveaway there was also some great racing action on the track for fans enjoyment as well.

The night saw the return of the 305 Winged Sprint Cars, courtesy of Clennin Farm Supply, to Double X for the final time in 2024. With rain showers around the mid Missouri area, a field of 31 cars and drivers signed in for the evening.

The Super Stocks led off the evening’s competition with two heat races. In the first heat veteran Dale Berry moved to the early lead and was in control through lap four when he got against the back stretch wall. Clayton Campbell, who had been chasing the leader since the start took over the top spot with Eddie Keeran and Adam Halley giving chase. At the checkered it was Campbell leading Keeran and Berry across the stripe. Adam Halley and John Shane completed the field. Heat two saw the division points leaders on the front row. James Nighswonger took the lead on the drop of the green with Steve Beach applying pressure. A lap four caution for Ryan Shikles bunched the field as the #409 retired to the pit area. Nighswonger would sail to the victory with Beach in second and Fred Kilmer in third. In the 305 Sprint Car action, quick Jack Thomas of Bates City picked up where he left off on his last visit to Double X winning the heat race over Tipton, MO driver Brett Combs. Veteran Randy Martin charged from seventh to third at the stripe, Tyler Elliott was fourth and Natalie Doney completed the top five. The 360 Winged Sprint Cars completed two heat races for their opening act. In heat one it was Australian Todd Moule bringing the “Sunday Night Thunder from Down Under” taking the win in comfortable fashion. Samuel Wagner would finish second with Taylor Walton taking the number three spot, Jack Wagner would finish fourth and Aubrey Smith completed the top five. In the second heat, point leader Ben Brown would take the win with Garrett Benson in second. Broc Elliott was end his race long charge in the third spot with Miles Paulus fourth and Natalie Doney in fifth.

The Super Stock Feature led off the second half of the evening’s card. With hard chargers James Nighswonger and Clayton Campbell on the front row the race would shape up to be a good one. After a close side by side duel with Campbell low and Nighswonger high for the opening circuits, Nighswonger would gain a small advantage until a lap eight caution would bring the field to the rear bumper of the #44. On the restart Nighswonger held the lead but a bobble in turn two allowed Campbell to pull alongside. The #44 of Nishwonger stayed committed to the low line so Campbell went to the cushion keeping his momentum up. The white flag waved as the leaders sped into turn one the #44 on the bottom and the #30C on the cushion. Exiting turn two Nighswonger washed up the track and Campbell pounced turning off the cushion down the track and makes the pass down the back stretch. Nighswonger would close but Campbell held on for a win by less than a car length. Eddie Keeran drove a strong race to take home the third spot, with Dale Berry taking fourth and Steve Beach completing the top five. Fred Kilmer and Adam Halley completed the running order.

The middle event on the feature card was the 305 Winged Sprint Car Feature event. “Fast” Jack Thomas of Bates City put his #63 to the point and looked to be on cruise control. The first ten laps went by quickly before a caution for the #5T of James Turnbull brought out the events first caution closing the field on the rear bumper of the leader. On the restart cagy veteran Martin pulled alongside the #63 in turn two but the leader pulled ahead in turn three. The second caution flew after lap 11 was complete as Brett Combs got over the cushion in turn 4 and looped it around. As the green flag racing resumed the running order was unchanged. Natalie Doney started pressuring Tyler Elliott for the third spot and Brett Combs started to work his way back up the ranks. The feature would stay green the duration of the event with Thomas picking up another win at Double X. Randy Martin would finish second, Natalie Doney finished a strong third, Tyler Elliott was fourth, Doug Fry crossed in fifth and Brett Combs completed the running order in sixth.

The 360 Winged Sprint Cars wrapped up the evening as they always do. Aussie invader Todd Moule making his first visit to Double X starts on the pole alongside weekly competitor Ben Brown. Moule would set the pace running the cushion as Brown would put on the pressure, briefly taking the lead on lap six but the Aussie would power back by. A caution after lap seven would bunch the field. Moule would take off on the restart and open an 8 car length lead over Brown but a caution on lap 12 would slow the pace once again. Back to green flag racing and Brown makes a strong bid on the bottom but Moule would keep the momentum with his right rear dancing on the cushion. Brown would keep digging and on lap 22 take over the top spot. A caution one lap later would see Moule retire to the pit area. Brown would lead the distance to pick up the victory with Garrett Benson claiming the runner up and Broc Elliott finishing out the podium in third. Casey Shuman would post a season best fourth place and Taylor Walton finished fifth.

Nest week the B Modifieds will make their final appearance of the season at Double X, joining the 360 Winged Sprints and the Super Stocks. Sunday August 4 will conclude the season for 2024 at Double X Speedway. The Super Stocks, Pure Stocks and 360 Winged Sprint Cars will be in competition.

Shane Golobic wins Speedweek finale at Placerville/ Andy Forsberg brings home championship

By Gary Thomas

Placerville, CA…A dramatic battle for the SCCT Speedweek title came right down to the wire on Saturday, which saw Auburn’s Andy Forsberg fend off Oakley’s Dylan Bloomfield by four slim points to wrap up the championship.

Fremont’s Shane Golobic also held off a hard-charging Justin Sanders of Aromas to win a thrilling Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour main event at Placerville Speedway on Saturday night. Colfax driver Ben Wiesz brought home victory in the Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association feature.

The 35-lap SCCT Speedweek finale showcased an entertaining contest with action all over the Placerville Speedway bullring. Golobic jumped out front at the waving of the Ron Stahl green flag, as he looked to make it three wins in a row during SCCT Western Sprint Speedweek.

The action behind him was as good as it gets however, with Andy Forsberg and Dylan Bloomfield locked into several battles while going after the overall championship. Plenty of side-by-side racing was seen and positions changed on the the regular during the main event.

The Speedweek title also switched hands on several occasions, while the race for the top-spot heated up as well. Aromas driver Justin Sanders closed in on Golobic as lapped traffic came into play. The fight for the race win and the Speedweek victory kept fans on the edge of their seats in the waning laps.

Sanders hounded Golobic and looked to find a way past but couldn’t get an opening as Golobic grabbed his third Speedweek win in a row. It marked his 16th career SCCT triumph, which ranks number one all-time. Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick had also closed in on the front duo over the closing laps and on the final corner, made the move to nip Sanders at the line for second.

Sanders, Hanford’s Michael Faccinto and High Sierra Industries Dash winner Austin Wood completed the top-five. Rounding out the top-10 were Chance Grasty, Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Sean Becker, Dylan Bloomfield, Andy Forsberg and Colby Copeland.

As the race wound down, Bloomfield looked to be in position for the SCCT Speedweek title but caught the cushion a couple times and lost just enough spots to allow Forsberg the opportunity.

When all was said and done, Forsberg brought home the $3,000 championship by just four points over Bloomfield, and 14-markers ahead of Shane Hopkins, who also gave it a valiant run all week long. Corbin Rueschenberg and Colby Copeland finished fourth and fifth respectively in the week-long race.

Dunnigan’s Luke Hayes began the evening by earning his first career Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time Award, pacing the 28-car field with a lap of 11.029.

The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will now take an extended break, before resuming things on Saturday September 21st with the annual Adobe Cup at Petaluma Speedway. Placerville Speedway returns to action this coming Saturday July 27th with the annual Carnett Clash.

Flick Comes From the Back to Get Sprint Car Victory; Reitz, Rehbergen, and Laskey Also Score at Tri City Raceway Park

(Franklin, PA July 21, 2024): A.J. Flick came from the rear to win the final tune-up for the Krill Recycling 410 Sprints before the FAST on Dirt Sprint Series event coming up at the Tri City Raceway Park. Also joining him in Victory Lane were Chad Reitz (21st Century Energy Group 358 Modifieds), Brent Rhebergen (4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprint Cars), and Rod Laskey (Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks).

Tyler Esh and Andy Priest paced the Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars to the start of the twenty-five laps for the A Main. Denny Peebles and Logan McCandless were in row two, with Jeremy Weaver and Bob Felmee right behind. Jack Sodeman, Jr. and last week’s winner, Mark Smith, aligned in row four. Body McClintock and Vivian Jones made up row five. Then came Andy Cavanaugh and Nathan McDowell. Starting in sixteenth was two-time and defending track champion, A.J. Flick.

Newcomers Esh and Priest led the way on the opening lap. Weaver, McCandless, and Peebles were in the top five. They were followed by Smith, Felmlee, Flick, Vivian Jones, McClintock, and Roman Jones.

Priest did a complete 360 spin in turn two just three laps into the event, but he was able to keep his car moving. The call was made for a flagman’s caution, so Priest regained his position for the restart.

Three laps later, a caution for Aaron Murano closed the field up again. Esh still held control when the race resumed, followed by Priest, Smith, Flick, McCandless, and Weaver trailed him.

Then next fifteen laps were completed under the green. By lap fifteen, Flick advanced to second, and he had the leader in his sights. Two laps later, the front three cars were running nose-to-tail as they tried to negotiate through lapped traffic.

Flick remained in second, and he gained the lead on lap nineteen. Just one lap later, the final caution was displayed for a spin by Dusty Larson at the entry to turn two.

Flick had Smith on his tail for the last restart, but Flick got away cleanly. Smith got second, ahead of McCandless, Esh, and Priest. Weaver, Sodeman, Peebles, Felmlee, and McClintock rounded out the top ten.

Taking the wins in the pair of Krill Recycling Sprint heat races were Jeremy Weaver and Andy Priest. There was no B Main.

Chad Reitz used a lap eight restart to pass Jimmy Holden on the inside of turn one to lead the way in the 21st Century Energy Group 358 Modifieds. Reitz remained out front for the final dozen laps to get the win.
