Terry Gray races to tenth USCS presented by Goodyear National Championship in 2011
Atlanta, GA - December 5, 2011 - Perennial United Sprint Car Series Champion, Terry Gray from Bartlett, Tennessee added his tenth United Sprint Car Series presented by Goodyear National Championship to his legacy during the 2011 season. The "still potent after all the years" veteran sprint car racing legend drove his familiar black #10 Rislone Engine Treatment sponsored, Wesmar powered, J&J Auto Racing car to a season-total four wins. He had 21 top five and 25 top ten finishes. That was good enough to capture his tenth United Sprint Car Series National title. In addition to bringing home this historic total in just eleven seasons, Gray also captured the USCS Mid South Thunder and USCS Southern Thunder Tour regional series Championships.
Gray earned the title in his usual fashion. The cagey veteran goes out to win (and is capable) every single night. If that doesn't work out, then he just finishes in the top five positions 80% to 90% of the time and the Championships just keep rolling in. Gray, who is almost perfect in his car preparation and race car maintenance, only finished outside the top ten four times. He finished the season with 4191 National points.
Gray beat out his team-mate, sensational 18 year-old female 2010 USCS Rookie of the Year, driver Morgan Turpen from Cordova, Tennessee to capture the National title, his sixth in a row. He also won the Championship in the potent USCS Mid-South Thunder Tour presented by Goodyear regional series. That series had nineteen events with six different winners including Gray. The season long battle for the USCS Mid South crown was a battle between two drivers, Gray and Jerrod Hull from Sikeston, Missouri. Gray prevailed in a contest that was decided by just 8 points at the final race of the season during the 3rd Annual USCS Fall Nationals on November 4th and 5th at Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Arkansas.
The veteran (Gray) also captured the Championship in the USCS Southern Thunder presented by Goodyear regional series that contests its' events primarily in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Eastern Tennessee. His team-mate, Morgan Turpen was his closest competitor in that series points' battle as well. The USCS Southern Thunder Championship was decided by just 27 points. Gray won three times in the USCS Southern Thunder regional series and Turpen became only the second female to collect a victory in the United Sprint Car Series' 15-year history when she won her first USCS feature race at East Alabama Motor Speedway in June. She repeated that performance by winning her second career main event at Carolina Speedway on October 1st in the USCS Southern Thunder Tour season finale.
Turpen, who was in only her second full season of competition in winged sprint cars, showed tremendous talent and poise for a teenager while the determined female racer had an impressive ten top-five finishes. She also finished twenty-two times in the top ten positions in USCS Outlaw Thunder Tour presented by Goodyear main events. Turpen finished in the runner-up spot in the National point standings with 3913 Championship points. She also finished the season in second place in the USCS Southern Thunder 2011 final standings just twenty-seven points out of the Championship. She finished in fifth place in the final USCS Mid South points standings.
The 2010 United Sprint Car Series Southern Thunder regional series Rookie of the Year, Eric Riggins, Jr. from Charlotte, North Carolina followed Turpen in third place in the National point standings with 3429 points. Riggins had his own great second full season in winged sprint cars with two feature wins. His career first feature win came at the famed Dixie Speedway in Woodstock, Georgia on July 16th. He then closed out the season with a second feature win at Carolina Speedway on October 1st in the first of two main events in the 3rd annual Carolina Thunder Nationals. Riggins had six top-five finishes and finished 16 times in the top ten during USCS main events in 2011. He also collected a fourth place finish in the USCS Southern Thunder and ninth position in the USCS Mid South final standings.
The 2008 USCS National Rookie of the Year, Anthony Nicholson from Bartlett, Tennessee traveled frequently to USCS events in the East and competed in all of the USCS Mid South events to finish in the fourth position in the USCS Outlaw Thunder Tour final National standings with 2917 points. Nicholson finished in third place in the USCS Mid South Thunder Tour standings.
The 2008 United Sprint Car Series Mid South Thunder Tour regional series Champion, Tim Crawley from Benton, Arkansas won ten times while competing on a limited basis in USCS presented by Goodyear Outlaw Thunder Tour National events. Crawley gathered up fifteen top-five finishes and sixteen top ten finishes to earn 2544 Championship points. That was enough to finish fifth in the final 2011 USCS National point standings.
Three time 2011 USCS feature winner, Jerrod Hull from Sikeston, Missouri nailed down the sixth position in the National standings with 2522 points while running a limited National schedule. Hull, as previously mentioned, finished just 8 points shy of the USCS Mid South Thunder tour title in the runner-up spot in that regional series. The 2010 USCS Mid South Rookie of the Year, Jerod Roller from Hernando, Mississippi finished seventh in the National standings with 2472 points. Brian Bell from Cordova, Tennessee competed primarily in the USCS Mid South Thunder regional series, but collected enough National points to finish 32 points behind Roller in the point standings in eighth place. Darren Clark from Huntersville, North Carolina collected 2372 National points and finished ninth in the series USCS Outlaw Thunder Tour point final standings. The 2011 USCS presented by Goodyear National Rookie of the Year, Jordon Mallett from Greenbrier, Arkansas rounded out the top ten drivers in the national standings with 2331 points. Mallett tallied the most National points of any rookie driver in the National, Mid-South Thunder, and Southern Thunder series and will be crowned with title of USCS presented by Goodyear National Rookie of the Year at the series banquet in January.
One hundred and six different drivers competed in the twenty-nine USCS Outlaw Thunder Tour presented by Goodyear events held at nineteen different tracks in eight states. Thirteen different drivers won 2011 USCS Outlaw Thunder Tour main events. Those included Tim Crawley who led the series victory column with ten wins in 2011. Crawley was followed by Terry Gray with four wins. Jerrod Hull won three times. Morgan Turpen and Eric Riggins won twice each.
Erin Crocker (Evernham) from Huntersville, North Carolina made history by winning at Carolina Speedway on April 16th and becoming the first female driver to reach victory lane in a USCS sprint car main event. The list of one time 2011 United Sprint Car Series feature winners included past regional series Champion, Johnny Bridges from Cherryville, North Carolina won on 5/7 at New Senoia Raceway, and Oklahoma's Shane Stewart won at Beebe Speedway on 6/2. 2006 USCS Rookie of the Year, Derek Hagar from Marion, Arkansas won the USCS Sprint Speedweek Finale at Moulton Speedway on June 4th.

On Saturday evening, Tim Crawley advanced to the A-Main by winning the Engler Machine and Tool First B-Main event and Wade Oliver from Southaven, Mississippi won the Goodyear Racing Tire Second 12-lap B-Main contest to set the final eight positions in the field. Defending series Champion and current 2011 National point's leader, Terry Gray was added in the twenty-third position as a provisional starter to set the field for Saturday's feature race finals.
USCS Flip Flop 50 - Main Event Number One:
After collecting the most passing points on Friday evening in his heat race and winning the K&N Filters Pole Scramble on Friday night, Derek Hagar from Marion, Arkansas started from the K&N Filters Pole Position in the first 25-lap USCS presented by Goodyear "Flip Flop 50" main event. Hagar won the first half of the 2010 version of the USCS "Flip Flop 50". The first feature race started straight-up from the finish of the K&N Filters Pole Scramble on Friday night. Gary Taylor from Houma, Louisiana started outside of Hagar in the front row. Tony Bruce from Liberal, Kansas started inside the second row with 2010 USCS Mid South regional series Rookie of the Year, Jerod Roller from Olive Branch, Mississippi would be in the second row outside.
On the start of the race, Taylor charged past Hagar into the lead in turn one. He (Taylor) then led the first four laps before Hagar raced back into the lead. Meanwhile, Tim Crawley charged from his fifteenth place starting position to ninth place by lap two, then into seventh position on lap three. He (Crawley) then passed Brad Bowden for sixth place on lap four. Crawley then followed the top five comprised of Hagar, Taylor, Bruce, Midwest hot-shoe Jerrod Hull from Sikeston, Missouri and 2008 USCS Rookie of the Year Anthony Nicholson from Bartlett, Tennessee until lap six. Crawley then charged past Nicholson into the top five on lap six. On lap eight he raced past Hull into fourth place.
On lap ten a caution flag was thrown for a spinning Ronny Howard who had made contact with the race leader Derek Hagar as Hagar was lapping Howard. Hagar still led after the re-start with Gary Taylor driving the Pitts #1x on his rear bumper. Tony Bruce followed the lead duo in third place with Crawley threatening him for the position from fourth place. Jerrod Hull completed the top five in the running order. On lap twelve Crawley passed Bruce for the third position.
Crawley followed Taylor for the next five laps before racing past him into the runner-up position on lap seventeen. Meanwhile, Hagar was putting space between he and Crawley with lapped cars as the race continued green. Crawley quickly erased lapped car advantage and pulled within range of Hagar on lap twenty-two. Over the final three laps he made several runs at the talented young gun before pulling off the pass entering turn three of the final lap. Hagar wasn't done yet and threw a big slide job at the veteran former National Sprint Car Hall of Fame Driver of the Year racer. Hagar's momentum carried him past Crawley into the outside wall exiting turn four and the wily veteran (Crawley) drove past him under the checkered flag first. Hagar saved the runner-up spot with a slightly disabled car. Tony Bruce grabbed the K&N Filters Podium (third place) position followed by Gary Taylor in fourth place and Jerrod Hull rounded out the top five finishers.
Zack Pringle from Benton, Arkansas crossed the finish line in sixth place followed by Jerrod Roller in seventh place. Veteran sprint car driver and former Riverside Ernie Ainsworth finished in eighth place. Brad Bowden from Hernando, Mississippi finished in ninth place and 2008 USCS Rookie of the Year, Anthony Nicholson from Bartlett, Tennessee rounded out the top ten drivers.
Tim Crawley also garnered the Hard Charger Award for passing the most cars (14) in main event number one.

Riggins and Turpen star in USCS Carolina Thunder Nationals 2011 Finales
Gastonia, NC - October 1, 2011 - Sixteen year-old young gun Eric Riggins, Jr. from Charlotte, North Carolina and eighteen year-old female sprint car star, Morgan Turpen from Cordova, Tennessee both scored their second United Sprint Car Series presented by Goodyear victories of the 2011 season in the twin feature "Flip Flop 40" at Carolina Speedway on Saturday night. Riggins was the first to reach the USCS www.RockAuto.com victory lane in the first 20-lap contest that started straight-up from qualifying. Turpen got her second visit of the year to the USCS www.RockAuto.com victory lane in the second main event that started fully inverted from the finish of the first 20-lap contest. She started in the ninth position in the inverted 20 lap contest. Riggins charged back to second place in that second speed contest from his last place starting position.
THE FIRST MAIN EVENT:
Eric Riggins, Jr. started outside of the front row in the first main event after finishing in the runner-up spot in the K&N Filters Pole Scramble on Saturday night. Johnny Bridges from Cherryville, North Carolina started in the K&N Filters Pole Position in the first main event after winning the six-lap Scramble. The Scramble was used to set the final order for the first three rows in the first feature race. Nine-time USCS National Champion Terry Gray from Bartlett, Tennessee started in third place and Morgan Turpen started fourth. The defending USCS Carolina Thundernationals Champion Matt Linder from Hoschton, Georgia started inside row three and Tim Perry from Mooresville, North Carolina completing the top six starters for main event number one next to Linder.
When the green flag unfurled for the first 20-lap contest Bridges charged into the lead with Riggins, Gray, Turpen and Linder in tow behind him. Riggins chased the early race leader (Bridges) until lap fourteen when he charged past Bridges into the lead. The teenage racer then blasted through lapped traffic to a six car length lead at the finish line. The talented young gun won over Bridges in the runner-up spot and the veteran Terry Gray followed Bridges in third place. That trio was followed by Matt Linder in fourth place. Hard-charging Lance Moss from Cherryville, North Carolina who started back in eleventh position rounded out the top five drivers. The first 20-lap contest went caution-free.
When Riggins reached victory lane, he leaped from his car and climbed the front straight-away fence with the checkered-flag in hand to the pleasure of the crowd on hand on this chilly evening.

SECOND MAIN EVENT: The second main event starting order was set by completely inverting the sixteen car field's finish in the first "Flip Flop 40" main event. This placed the #33 of Suwannee, Georgia sprint car racer Joe Larkin in the K&N Filters Pole Position for the 20-lap main event with sprint car veteran, Bob Auld from Largo, Florida aligned outside the front row next to K&N Filters Pole Award recipient (Larkin). The second row included young gun Nick DeFeo from Marietta, Georgia in the third starting position and USCS veteran Brian Thomas from Pendergrass, Georgia in fourth position for the start. In the third row was the 2008 USCS Southern Thunder regional series Rookie of the Year, Jake McLain from Indian Trail, North Carolina starting fifth with Darren Clark from Huntersville, North Carolina starting sixth in the evening's finale.
When the green flag flew for the finale, Auld charged past Larkin entering turn one and led lap one before Nick DeFeo's lap two spin brought out the caution for a single file restart. With Auld on the point, the cars of Brian Thomas and Jake McLain followed him to the green on the re-start. Darren Clark and Morgan Turpen from Cordova, Tennessee followed in fourth and fifth place.
Auld continued to lead the next fourteen caution-free laps while drivers who finished in the front of the first 20-lap main event worked their way through the field to the front of this second contest. The 2010 USCS National Rookie of the Year, Morgan Turpen moved past Brian Thomas into the runner-up spot with five laps to go on lap fifteen. Auld still seemed to have things under control for his first USCS presented by Goodyear feature win at that point.
On lap seventeen Turpen made her move to be the spoiler and grabbed the lead from the Florida sprint car veteran (Auld). On the same lap Auld and a hard charging Eric Riggins, Jr., who started dead last in the field after winning the first half of the twin main events both made contact with a car they were attempting to lap, causing Auld to stop on the race track while Riggins continued on past them. This brought out the yellow flag with Morgan Turpen leading the race leader with Eric Riggins on her rear bumper for the re-start. Riggins was trying to win both halves of the main event double and collect a $1000 posted bonus for winning the second race from the rear.
For the re-start, Brian Thomas in third position, Terry Gray and Matt Linder followed the two young guns to the green flag for the final three lap dash. Turpen gunned off turn four and kept a four to five car length margin between her and the young Charlotte driver (Riggins) all of the way to the www.RockAuto finish line and victory lane, spoiling Riggins gallant attempt at the "Flip Flop 40" double win. Linder, Thomas and Gray followed the teenage duo across the finish line. Turpen's win was very popular with the loudly cheering crowd. She celebrated her second USCS feature win in the www.RockAuto.com victory lane by climbing to the top of her car and walking on the top wing, while waving the checkered flag.

Female Outlaw sprint car racer Morgan Turpen shoots for second 2011 USCS win at Carolina this weekend 9/30-10/1
Gastonia, NC - September 26, 2011 - Eighteen year-old United Sprint Car Series presented by Goodyear 2010 National Rookie of the Year Morgan Turpen from Cordova, Tennessee almost became the historic first female sprint car driver to win a United Sprint Car Series presented by Goodyear main event in the series fifteen year history on April 15th at Carolina Speedway in Gastonia. After leading the majority of the laps in the 30-lap USCS main event on that night, she lost that honor to former female World of Outlaws sprint car racer, Erin Crocker (Evernham) who passed her near the end of the race and reached the USCS www.RockAuto.com victory lane first on the historic night that saw the two women finish first and second in the main event.
On June 18th Morgan Turpen, who is currently in the runner-up spot in the USCS National point standings, became only the second woman driver ever to win a USCS sprint car main event when she won the 30-lap Randy Helton Memorial Race at east Alabama Motor Speedway in Phenix City, Alabama. The following weekend on Friday, June 23rd she again competed at Carolina Speedway and finished third in the main event before visiting Lancaster Speedway in Lancaster, South Carolina for a runner-up finish the following night.
Turpen returns to Carolina Speedway on this Friday (9/30) night and Saturday (10/1) nights with at least one victory lane visit in mind. She will have two opportunities to get her second and possibly third USCS win of the 2011 season over the weekend at the 3/8 mile red clay oval. The USCS sprint car racers will contest a series of qualifying rounds on Friday night that will include time trial qualifying and two semi-mains to set the field for Saturday night's Carolina Thunder Nationals Finals.
On Saturday night the top six drivers from Friday night's contest will compete in a six-lap Goodyear Speed Dash to determine the final starting order for the front three rows in the first of two USCS sprint Car main events. After competing in the first of twin 20-lap main events, the field will be completely inverted from the finish of the first main events for the second 20-lap contest.

USCS OUTLAW SPRINT CAR RACING HEADLINES SUMMER NATIONALS 2011 AT
NEW SENOIA RACEWAY ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY 8/26-27TH
Atlanta, GA - August 20, 2011 - Wild and exciting winged outlaw sprint car racing headlines the two-day USCS Senoia Summer Nationals 2011 racing program at New Senoia Raceway on Friday and Saturday nights, August 26th and 27th. The United Sprint Car Series presented by Goodyear "Outlaw Thunder" Tour www.uscsracing.com winged sprint cars roar into the high-banked 3/8-mile red clay oval for the 2nd Annual “USCS Senoia Summer Nationals”. This event is race number twenty-two and twenty-three on the 15th Anniversary schedule for the Nationally touring USCS drivers.
This will be the second and final visit scheduled for the 2011 season for the USCS winged sprint cars to New Senoia Raceway. The series raced at New Senoia Raceway on May 7th when Johnny Bridges from Cherryville, North Carolina won. These two races will award National points as well as points in the USCS Southern Thunder Tour presented by Goodyear regional series. The USCS Southern Thunder regional series consists of races in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and both Carolinas.
The two-night special event is expected to bring top winged outlaw sprint car drivers from at least six states to the track. Their exotic fire breathing, alcohol burning, 700 horsepower open wheel cars weight just 1,300 pounds, and are pound for pound the World’s most powerful short track race cars. The USCS sprint cars will literally fly around the track surface at speeds over 120 M.P.H. It is not uncommon to see USCS sprint cars popping "wheelies" or doing wheel stands because of the brute force of their engines and their huge 18-inch wide Goodyear Eagle rear race tires.
Those tires are nearly twice as wide as the Goodyear eagles on the NASCAR Sprint Cup cars.
Friday night's Outlaw sprint car action will feature a full program of racing that includes test and tune hot laps followed by the evening's first sprint car race, the Goodyear Speed Dash that showcases the top six cars from the previous USCS main event in an edge-of-your-seat six-car shootout. Next up will be qualifying heat races and a Last Chance/B-Main race. The evening’s sprint car finale will be the USCS Summer Nationals Sprint Car preliminary A-main event.
The new USCS 600 Sprint Car Series winged mini sprints will wage war around the high-banked 3/8/ mile red clay oval on both nights as well. Those lightning fast winged race cars look like a scaled down version of the larger USCS winged outlaw sprint cars and are powered by 600cc and larger motorcycle engines. They weight just 800 pounds and will also reach speeds over 100 miles per hour.
Four of the New Senoia weekly racing divisions are on both night’s programs as well. Those include the popular Late Models. The two New Senoia Raceway Late Model divisions will be competing in the Senoia Summer Nationals Topless Late Model vs. Crate Late Model Challenge Round One paying $1000 to the winner. Also competing on Friday’s racing card will be the B-Cadet, Hobby and Mini Stock weekly divisions.
Saturday night's Senoia Summer Nationals racing format includes another full program of USCS presented by Goodyear outlaw sprint car racing including the Goodyear Power Dash. Action will feature a full program of racing in the outlaw sprint cars that again includes test and tune hot laps followed by the evening's first sprint car race, the Goodyear Speed Dash that showcases the top six cars from the previous USCS main event in an edge-of-your-seat six-car shootout. Next up will be qualifying heat races and a Last Chance/B-Main race. The evening’s grand finale will be the 30-lap USCS Senoia Summer Nationals A-main event.
The New Senoia Raceway Summer Nationals Late Model Challenge event continues on Saturday night with round two which also pays $1000 to win and offers a bonus if the winner on Friday can repeat on Saturday night. All other weekly racing divisions that raced on Friday night including the B-Cadet, Hobby and Mini Stock divisions will join the USCS Outlaw sprint cars and USCS 600 Sprint Car Series mini sprints on the action-packed racing program with another full program of racing action in each division.

Bridges blasted his number 07 Roush-Yates powered J&J Auto Racing winged sprint car from the K&N Filters Pole Position starting spot into the lead in turn one of the Race Against Drugs main event and led every lap to the www.RockAuto.com USCS victory lane. He bested a fast closing Matt Linder from Hoschton, Georgia, who was about a car length behind at the finish line.
Bridges finished in the runner-up spot in his heat race after starting fifth. That was an effort good enough to place him first in the USCS passing points. The Engler Machine and Tool First Heat race winner Lance Moss from Cherryville, North Carolina then drew a zero inversion in the K&N Filters Pole award drawing leaving Bridges on the Pole.
On the initial start defending series Champion and point's leader, Terry Gray from Bartlett, Tennessee made contact with Matt Linder in turn one, struck the wall and flipped.

On the third lap the caution flag appeared for Brian Thomas from Pendergrass, Georgia who looped in turn four and did front end damage to his car. The race again went green until lap six when veteran USCS driver David Thorman from Greenville, South Carolina struck the outside retaining wall exiting turn two, bringing out another yellow.
When the race re-started with nineteen laps to go, Bridges led the event with sixteen year-old 2010 USCS Southern Thunder presented by Goodyear Rookie of the Year, Eric Riggins, Jr. from Charlotte, North Carolina in the runner-up spot. The young driver (Riggins) was followed by Lance Moss in third place, Matt Linder was in the fourth position and 2008 Southern Thunder regional series Rookie of the Year, Jake McLain from Indian Trail, North Carolina was in fifth place.
On lap twelve with Bridges still leading, the final caution of the race waved. This time it was for Riggins who finished in the runner-up spot last August on both nights of the USCS Senoia Summer Nationals 2010.
Bridges led the final thirteen laps to the www.RockAuto.com victory lane while Linder moved past Lane Moss for the second position and then moved close enough to challenge Bridges for the lead over the final five circuits. At the finish line it was Bridges, Linder, Moss, Jake McLain and 2010 USCS presented by Goodyear National Rookie of the Year, eighteen year-old female racer Morgan Turpen rounding out the top five.
Those five were followed to the payoff window by Eric Riggins Jr. in sixth, David Clark from Huntersville, North Carolinas in seventh. David Thorman, Joe Larkin from Suwannee, Georgia and Nick DeFeo from Marietta, Georgia completed the top ten in that order.
Terry Gray kicked off the evening's speed contest with a win in the six car, six lap, Goodyear Speed Dash. Lance Moss then won the Engler Machine and Tool First Heat.

Gray was driving his own familiar black #10 Rislone Engine Treatment sponsored, Wesmar powered J&J Auto Racing sprint car. It was the defending Champion's second USCS presented by Goodyear feature win of the 2011 season.
Ray Evernham started in the K&N Filters Pole Position after the heat race high point driver eighteen year-old female sprint car hot-shoe Morgan Turpen from Oakland, Tennessee drew a six inversion. When the green flag unfurled for the initial start, Evernham raced into the lead with Lance Moss from Cherryville, North Carolina in second place followed by David Clark from Huntersville, North Carolina in third, fifth starting Turpen in fourth and sixth starting Gray in the top five behind him.
On lap three the field slowed for the stalled mount of Nick Bashford from China Grove, North Carolina. Evernham continued to lead the race after the re-start as Gray charged past Turpen and David Clark into third place before the caution came out for Clark, who tagged the wall while running in the top five and ended his night on lap five.
The race went green the rest of the way with Evernham leading and Lance Moss challenging him for the top spot until lap fifteen. Moss then gave up the second position to Gray. It took the veteran (Gray) racer four more laps of rooting around the bottom of the race track looking for traction before he won the drag race with Evernham down the back-stretch into turn three on lap nineteen to take the lead. It was all Gray from that point forward for the $2000 top prize.
Evernham was left to battle with Moss, Morgan Turpen and 2010 USCS Southern Thunder regional series Rookie of the Year Eric Riggins from Charlotte, North Carolina for the runner-up spot. Riggins won a wheel-to-wheel duel with Evernham on the final lap to garner the runner-up position. Evernham raced across the finish line in third place to grab the final podium spot. This was quite an impressive run for a virtual sprint car rookie driver. The 2010 USCS National Rookie of the Year, Morgan Turpen followed Evernham across the finish line in fourth place. Lance Moss rounded out the top five finishers.
The next group was led by previous Travelers Rest Speedway USCS feature winner Matt Linder from Hoschton, Georgia in sixth place.
