Tyler Erb Wins Opening Night of Wieland Winternationals at East Bay
TAMPA, Fla. (February 6, 2023) - Tyler Erb scored his first win of the 2023 season on Monday night, capturing the first night of the 47th Annual Wieland Winternationals - presented by Lucas Oil. Erb took the lead on lap two from Kyle Bronson and led the rest of the way to score his fifth career win at the "Clay by the Bay." Hudson O'Neal finished in second followed by 20th starting Tyler Millwood who claimed his first career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series podium. Brandon Overton, driving the John Henderson-owned No. 2x, was fourth, with last year's opening night winner Dennis Erb Jr. rounding out the top five finishers. Bronson led the first two laps from his pole starting spot before Erb passed him on the inside coming off turn number two. O'Neal then moved into second taking the spot away from Bronson. There were back-to-back cautions on lap 11 and 12 which kept the field bunched up behind Erb. Early in the race the outside line proved beneficial for Brian Shirley who had moved from 12th to sixth and Ashton Winger who after starting sixth climbed to second on lap 12. After the lap 12 caution, Winger had a great restart and went to the outside of Erb entering turn four before losing his momentum and falling several spots in the running order. There were cautions with 18 and 24 laps scored while Erb held the lead. On each of those subsequent restarts Erb kept his car glued to the bottom and went on to pick up the win. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 20th time in his career, Erb let out a sigh of relief to get to victory lane for the first time since the Gateway Dirt Nationals back in December. "It's awesome to get this win. We ended last year on such a crazy note at the Dome. We unloaded at Vado with really high expectations and just struggled. I just can't say enough about everybody that helps me. We complained to Eric [Brock] that we needed a new car, and Mark [Richards] built us a car in two days. Brunswick wasn't good us; Bubba wasn't good until the second night. We got things turned around I feel at All-Tech with our finish there." "I love East Bay," Erb added. "I didn't think it would be too good. The top down there was the only place I thought maybe I should have been in. I could tell, someone was close. I left Winger about as much room as you could. It was literally the wall, Winger, and me. It's just East Bay you've got to know where to start." O'Neal said he felt good on the restarts. "I was getting caught in his [Erb's] slime sometimes. I went to the top there for a while when it finally cleaned up there at the end. On that last restart I got clear of Overton and just got back to the bottom. I knew it was safe down there." Millwood earned the Todd Steel Buildings Hard Charger of the Race after coming to third. "I was running behind those guys, and I just said let's go up there and see what happens and it worked. It was an awesome night."

Thornton Claims Point Lead with All-Tech Victory
ELLISVILLE, Fla. (February 4, 2023) - In a race that saw five lead changes among three drivers, Ricky Thornton Jr. emerged victorious on Saturday night at All-Tech Raceway. Thornton passed race leader Max Blair after a lap 29 restart and went on to win his second Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series race of the season. For the first time in his career, Thornton has taken over the top spot in the championship point standings after his seventh career series win. Tim McCreadie, the two-time and defending series champion, came from the 12th starting spot to finish in second. Brandon Sheppard, who started eighth came him in third, followed by 14th starting Devin Moran. Tyler Erb completed the top five to earn the Todd Steel Buildings Hard Charger of the Race after he started 21st on the grid. Thornton started on the outside of the front row and grabbed the lead at the start of the 50-lap main event. He quickly built a sizable lead in the opening laps of the race until Shane Clanton, who started alongside Thornton on the front row was able to close the gap and take over the point with eight laps scored. Clanton would hold the lead until lap 17 when Thornton regained the top spot. At the halfway mark it was Thornton still in front followed by Clanton and Max Blair, who was now up to third. Blair then went to second on lap 27 and two laps later took the lead away from Thornton to become the third different leader of the race. A caution came out with 29 laps complete with Blair out in front. On the restart Thornton swung to the outside as he pressured Blair and completed the pass heading down the backstretch. Thornton then had to withstand two cautions in the waning laps, one with nine laps to go and one with just two circuits remaining, holding off McCreadie both times. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane, the 32-year driver who continues to be the most consistent driver to start the 2023 season said: "I really didn't know what to do tire wise. I knew Max [Blair] and Kyle [Strickler] were on softer tires. I told Max to go soft and it lasted a while for him. I didn't know if there was really a line there in one and two. It was kind of a do or die. I was like I really want to win this pretty bad, so I was trying really hard on that restart, and it worked. I kept missing the bottom there in three. It was getting tight. Luckily, we held them off." McCreadie moved into third in the championship chase with his runner-up finish. "This Paylor Motorsports team just keeps battling. One of these days we'll be able to start near the front maybe and put some pressure on them early so they have to work a little harder than they are working. That's the way it goes. We keep passing as many cars as we can. They are not going to slow this team down." Sheppard, who finished second in last year's championship standings continues to make strides with his new team. "That was typical All-Tech right there. That was a lot of fun. It was tricky and slippery all over the place. You could chase the brown a little bit. It was a good night. We've been needing this for sure. That practice night this week helped us a lot. I learned a lot of stuff on the car."

TOMMY DUNKEL EXPERIENCES FIRST CHILI BOWL RACE AND HAS A SUCCESSFUL START AS A SPRINT CAR TEAM OWNER
(Menifee, CA, February 1, 2023) For Southern California racing aficionado Tommy Dunkel, the month of January was an extension of Christmas. To start the year, the Menifee, California racer took part in the world-famous Chili Bowl Midget Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma for the very first time. If that wasn't enough, he became the car owner of the USAC/CRA Sprint Car team that features star driver Brody Roa. The new owner/driver combo swept to victory in two races in Arizona at the end of the month. 301108008_8680479125302912_2804138171610849063_n.jpg Tommy Dunkel in action in the Inland Rigging #17A Sprint Car at Perris in 2022. Bobby Kimbrough photo. The Chili Bowl, which drew over 350 cars, marked Dunkel's initial time racing a midget. Widely known as the biggest midget race in the world, it matches drivers from a variety of different disciplines of racing including NASCAR, Indy Cars, NHRA, USAC Sprint Cars & Midgets, and World of Outlaws Sprint Cars. For most, including Dunkel, it is a dream to be a part of the show. He was over the moon to be a part of the program that was staged in the massive SageNet Center and was shown around the world on Flo Racing and MAVTV. Getting to race the Dunkel Farms/Inland Rigging/Osborn Speed and Machine/United Asset Sales/Southside Mowers sponsored Boss Chassis/Esslinger, Dunkel finally flew into action on night four of the six evening event (all drivers compete once in the first five days and come back for Saturday's finale). Dunkel's first race was an eight-lap heat against a tough field of drivers. Forced wide on the start, he ended up with a seventh-place finish. The heat race outcome placed Dunkel in one of the night's two C mains. The midget rookie started 14th in the rough-and-tumble affair and came home 12th. That put him in one of the very early Saturday preliminary main events and meant he would have to make more transfers than anyone in the history of the Chili Bowl to make the A main. Being a rookie along with some car issues, Dunkel knew his chances of that happening were impossible. "Our prelim was Thursday and we kind of really struggled with the car," Dunkel said. "Unfortunately, I wasn't in the best of equipment. After Thursday I just decided to sit out Saturday's alphabet soup. I really wanted to run but for some safety reasons and just not really getting the car to work for me, I decided to bow out." While he exited the event early, it does not mean Dunkel is done with midget racing. In fact, quite the contrary. The exhilaration of being a part of such a high-profile race and being on the track with superstar drivers bit him hard and he now has the itch to get back to Tulsa. In fact, he is already making plans to be a part of the show in the upcoming years. "Racing a midget was a lot different (from racing a sprint car) but I will tell you, I am hooked," Dunkel enthused about the experience. "To see a midget in the Inland Rigging stable is not too far-fetched anymore. Honestly, it will probably be just for the Chili Bowl. I can definitely see making that a yearly deal. With the sprint car thing getting as serious as it is right now, I don't know if I will have a whole lot of time to race a midget on the West Coast." "I really enjoyed it and they are a lot of fun," Dunkel continued about his first foray into the lightweight cars. "The power-to-weight ratio is pretty high on them. They are really responsive cars to drive. I enjoyed it, and it was a thrill. In my heat race, I was lined up next to Shuman (Casey Shuman). My practice session had Rico Abreu and a few other big names. It was nerve-wracking, but I had some fast guys to follow. The nerves were at a solid 10 just walking into that place. The prestige that comes with that race is huge. To be able to compete there was a pretty big milestone for me." Soon after the Chili Bowl ended, Dunkel met with veteran racer Roa and took on some more duties fielding a car for the star driver in this year's USAC/CRA Series. To say the least, they got off to a dream start when Roa swept the two opening races at Arizona's Cocopah Speedway last weekend. "We are over the top really," happy car owner Dunkel said on Sunday. "We were hoping for a decent run with a brand new car, new team, and a whole new package. To go out there and sweep the weekend was a little unexpected. We are just over the top about it."' thumbnail.jpg Brody Roa scored two wins in the Dunkel Farms #17R last week in Arizona. A.J. Johnson photo. After three weeks away from the track, Dunkel will return to action when the USAC West Coast Sprint Car Series opens its 2023 campaign on the Dirt Track at the Kern County Raceway in Bakersfield on February 25th. From that day through the first week in July, Inland Rigging cars, with Dunkel or Roa behind the wheel, will be racing every single weekend before getting a week off. Dunkel would like to thank the following for making the team's racing efforts possible. Inland Rigging, Dunkel Farms, United Asset Sales, Osborne Speed & Machine, Sander Engineering, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, ALR Virtual Services, Burris Racing, Caltrol, Competition Suspension, K-1 Race Gear, Molecule, Rod End Supply, Driven Racing Oil, Baldwin Filters, and NGK Spark Plugs.

Lucas Oil Speedway, Dallas County Speedway USRA B-Mod points champs to earn $1,000, with bonus offered for B-Mod, Stock Car sweeps
WHEATLAND, MO. (Jan. 31, 2023) - Drivers competing in the USRA B-Mod divisions at Lucas Oil Speedway and Dallas County Speedway can take home some extra points money during the 2023 season. Both tracks, in conjunction with the United States Racing Association, will pay their B-Mod track champions $1,000. Places two-through-10 in points - as long as drivers compete in a minimum of 80 percent of scheduled points events at each track - also will earn extra money. Those who fall under 80 percent will receive normal USRA B-Mod points payout. "We're pleased to make it even more attractive to race on a regular basis in our Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod division, in a partnership with Dallas County Speedway and the USRA," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. Lorton noted that the second-place driver in points will earn what was previous the championship total with additional money also dispersed throughout the remainder of the top 10. Those figures are: 2nd - $600. 3rd - $425. 4th - $300. 5th - $250. 6th - $200. 7th - $175. 8th - $150. 9th and 10th - $125. "I think it's gonna be a good deal for the drivers," Dallas County Speedway promoter Scotty Allen said. "It's $2,000 if you can win both the Lucas and Dallas County points and it's only 20 miles apart. Plus, not only does the track champ get more, the whole top 10 gets more." The USRA national points fund will pay $6,000 to the USRA B-Mod National Champion. Both Lucas Oil Speedway and Dallas County also will continue paying a $250 bonus to any B-Mod or Stock Cars driver who can win both features on the same weekend at the tracks, Friday at Dallas County and Saturday at Lucas. "The feature bonus for Stock Cars has proven to be popular, with both of us putting up an extra $125 for any driver sweeping the weekend features, and we're happy to be doing that in the B-Mod class as well," Lorton said. Lucas Oil Speedway's schedule begins with an open Test and Tune set for March 18 followed by the Big Adventure Weekly Racing Series Weekly Opener on March 25. The first weekly points program at Dallas County Speedway is set for April 21.

BRODY ROA SWEEPS USAC/CRA OPENING WEEKEND AT THE COCOPAH SPEEDWAY
(Cypress, CA, January 29, 2023) Three weeks ago, veteran sprint car racer Brody Roa did not know if he would be racing at this past weekend's USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series 24th season-opening weekend at the Cocopah Speedway. In a career-changing move one week later, Roa joined forces with Inland Rigging's Tommy and Christy Dunkel. That move paid immediate dividends as he not only made the opener, but also scored wins in both main events on the Arizona oval. The victories were his 14th and 15th in USAC/CRA competition which places him fifth on the series all-time win list. thumbnail2.jpg Holding his daughter Addison, Roa talks to fans after sweeping the USAC/CRA weekend. Roa family photo. To say the effort to get ready for the races was a thrash is an understatement. The team finished the car on Thursday night and it was so fresh it did not have all the decals in place. Nonetheless, it was fast from the opening lap of hot laps on Friday all the way through the final checkered flag on Saturday. It was faster than anyone expected as it was the first time Roa ever turned laps using a DRC chassis. When people think of Arizona they think of extreme heat. However, the winters in the "Copper State" can be cold. With a breeze blowing at the track that is located 10 minutes north of the USA/Mexican border, and a temperature dipping into the low 40s each night, fans were more than a little chilly. But Roa and the other cars kept them warmed up with exciting racing each night. Roa, who turned 32 years old two days prior to the opening race, made his first qualifying effort in his new steed a good one when he timed in third quickest at 16.575 on Friday night. That placed him in the first 10-lap heat race of the season where he started fifth and finished fourth in his initial outing in the white #17R. For the main event, the Garden Grove, California star began on the outside of row two in fourth. In front of the Speed Sport TV cameras, he picked off the third and second-place drivers and patiently stalked the leader. Perseverance paid off and he snatched the lead away on lap 19. The talented driver methodically pulled away for a comfortable victory in his first time driving for the Dunkel's. "First win for the new team," the happy victor told the crowd after the race. "It is pretty awesome to come out of the gate swinging like that. We just got this new DRC chassis and just finished it up last night. I think that is a good start to it. About six days ago, I thought I was only racing this weekend for sure. I have to thank Inland Rigging, Dunkel Farms, and Tom and Christy Dunkel. They stepped up huge and I just have to give a huge thank you to them." "I was calling Joe Devin (the owner of DRC) all night with ideas about what we were doing," the excited driver continued. "I sent him a text before the feature telling him what I was doing and he said that was all good stuff. When I was behind Tommy (Tommy Malcolm who held Roa at bay until the 19th circuit), he was good. He screwed up once down here before the caution and I thought I had a shot, but he gathered it all back in. He did a great job leading. Good job to that guy and all of those guys over there (Malcolm and his team). They were a contender last year and we will probably see them a lot this year, too." "Man I am kind of bummed," Roa said with a laugh. "This is the first race I have won with my two-year-old daughter Addison here (at the races) and she was sleeping." Saturday night did not start off as well as Friday. While his qualifying time of 16.943 was less than a half second slower than his Friday attempt on the clocks, it was only good for the ninth fastest time. However, he outdistanced the field in his preliminary to record his first heat race triumph of 2023. If there was one thing to be said about the slower qualifying time, it put Roa on the front row for the main event and he took full advantage and flew into the lead at the drop of the green. The friendly driver hung onto the lead until he was passed on the 22nd lap by his sometimes teammate at Jayson May Motorsports, Chase Johnson. It looked as though Roa would have to settle for second, but coming off turn four and heading for the white flag, Johnson, whose right rear tire was shot, threw a slider on a lapped car, jumped the cushion, and tapped the wall. Roa alertly pounced on the opportunity presented and flew into the lead. Eighteen seconds later he drove his bright white car under the checkered flag first for his second win in 24 hours. "I thought it was over," Roa told the appreciative crowd. "Once he (Johnson) got out front until that lapper he was clean. He was able to get off the corners a little bit better than I was. Yeah, a heartbreaker for Chase. He ran a good race. I guess we will take them how we can get them." "This is an exciting start to the year for sure," Roa said about taking home both winner's trophies on the year. "All of our phones were blowing up last night. I talked to Tom (Dunkel) last night and he was pretty stoked. Hopefully, we can continue and win a whole bunch of these this year." "We are over the top really," happy car owner Dunkel said on Sunday. "We were hoping for a decent run with a brand new car, new team, and a whole new package. To go out there and sweep the weekend was a little unexpected. We are just over the top about it." Winning the races was very important and satisfying. However, perhaps the most important thing of the two nights for Roa came while he was holding his daughter Addison in the victory circle. "This is super cool," Roa gushed while smiling at the happy two-year-old in his arms. "I have won a handful of races since she was born but she hasn't been there or she has been sleeping for all of them. I hope you are excited, Addie." Roa is now off until he begins a busy month on March 3rd and 4th when USAC/CRA heads to the Central Arizona Speedway. One week later he will contest the open comp. show at the Imperial Valley Raceway. On March 18th he will return to action with USAC/CRA at Perris Auto Speedway and will wrap up the month in Central California at the Keller Auto Speedway in Hanford and Tulare's Thunderbowl Raceway. As always, Roa would be more than happy to jump in a race car on his weekends off from the #17R. His entire schedule is printed below.

Davenport Collects First Lucas Oil Win of 2023 at Bubba
OCALA, Fla. (January 30, 2023) - Jonathan Davenport regained the lead from Dennis Erb Jr. on lap 29 and then led the last 12 laps to win Monday night's Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event at Bubba Raceway Park. It was Davenport's 66th career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win. Ashton Winger made a late-race charge to come home in second followed by Erb Jr. The remainder of the top five were Tyler Erb and Devin Moran. Davenport took the lead at the start of the race as Winger, who started from the pole, moved into second behind his fellow Georgia racer. Those two ran first and second until Erb Jr. was able to get by Winger for second with 20 laps complete. Erb Jr. then tracked down Davenport and coming off turn number four for to complete lap 26 he was able to get underneath Davenport to take over the lead. Erb Jr. would lead two more circuits as Davenport went to the outside of the track off turn number two to regain the top spot on lap 29. Davenport then had to contend with the tail-end of the field when a caution flew with 37 laps scored. On the restart Winger found some speed on the outside of Erb Jr. coming off turn number two as he moved back into second. Winger then was making a bid on Davenport for the lead when the caution came out for Ricky Thornton Jr. with one lap to go. With the green and white flag waving simultaneously, Davenport held his line and went on to become the fourth different winner in the first five Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series events of 2023. "I was thinking I screwed up there off turn four. It was getting slick there off of the corner," said Davenport. "I left the bottom open. He [Erb Jr.] raced me clean. I had a pick there with Bronson, so I just drove it hard to try and get back by him [Erb Jr.] for the lead. On the last restart I knew somebody was going to throw a Hail-Mary around the top there. I didn't know exactly how good it was." "It feels good to be back in Victory Lane here," Davenport added. "My guys have been working hard, just circumstantial stuff, I think that's the reason we haven't been up here, I really don't know how I found the right line. I kept just trying to find a little brown there. I was afraid I was going to move around move out of the fast line. I just kept changing my line a little bit every lap just trying to find something a little better and it paid off." Winger, in his first series race of the season on Sunday night finished third, finished one spot better with his Monday night performance. "There is nothing to be angry about. JD just outdrove me there. I had two shots probably at the start and that last restart where I was able to find that middle down there in one and two and roll it for a corner and I just didn't really get turned enough down here to catch the brown down the straightaway and I let Dennis [Erb Jr.] get back up beside me and it was all I could do to hang onto second. We ran well and this is awesome. But I expect a lot out of myself. We had a good run and didn't tear anything up." Erb Jr., who was seeking his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win since East Bay a year ago, rounded out the Big River Steel Podium. "We got up there and probably should have moved around a little bit. Our car was working well. We just had a little problem over in three and four we just couldn't get off the corner good over there. All-in-all after last night having a good finish here tonight really helps."

Thornton Gets Redemption with Bubba Raceway Park Victory
OCALA, Fla. (January 29, 2023) - Ricky Thornton Jr. found redemption on Sunday night at Bubba Raceway Park - winning the 40-lap Winter Nationals main event for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series. The 32-year-old led the last 25 laps of the race to score his first win of the 2023 season after recording two runner-up finishes and a third-place finish at Golden Isles. With the win, Thornton becomes the third different winner in four events this season. Max Blair recorded his best career finish in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series by coming home in second with Ashton Winger taking the third and final Big River Steel Podium spot. Hudson O'Neal was fourth with current point leader Brandon Overton rounding out the top five drivers. Thornton, who started on the outside front row, led the first two laps until yielding the point to pole sitter Devin Moran. Moran then led until he suffered a right front flat tire after a lap 15-restart. Moran would pit to change the tire and rejoin the field. Thornton would pick up the lead again with Earl Pearson Jr. moving into second place and Blair now running in third. A red flag came out for a multi-car incident in turn two with 19 laps complete. After the extended stoppage of action, the race resumed with Thornton still holding the point. Pearson, who was celebrating his 51st birthday, had his hopes of getting by Thornton for the win end when he suffered a right rear flat tire on lap 26. Blair then picked up the runner-up spot which he held to the finish. "It's pretty awesome to win here," said the winner who is now just five points behind Overton in the championship standings. "I love coming to this place. It's so technical and different compared to all the other places we go to. I got the jump on the start on Devin [Moran]. I felt like I was running as hard as I needed to and then he slid me. He was running way harder than I wanted to go and I thought let him go and I will just keep pace with him. I don't know what happened to him on that restart he went down into one and it didn't turn." "I got the lead back and just kind of held on, under that red my left front went flat," Thornton added. "Luckily it didn't put me in the fence. Overall, it was a good night. I had big time flashbacks from the last two nights. My crew guy was telling me that Max [Blair] was getting closer and I thought here we go again. On the last lap I screwed up off two and four. I felt like I was going to put it in the fence and give it away again. Overall, I am good, and we are happy we really have had a good Speedweeks so far." Blair overcame his struggles at Golden Isles with a runner-up finish. "We were real competitive all night long. I really faded the last 10 or 12 laps. As a team we really needed a good run, and we got it. It's a good group of people we are with. I am really, really excited for the future. I think this is going to be a real good fit." Winger finished third in his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series start of the season. "A couple of guys fell out there. I think I had one good restart where I passed three or so guys. I kind of figured out all those guys were jostling for position. I headed into turn one and the car stuck. We were pretty good. Congrats to Ricky for winning on three tires. I felt like we were better the longer we went. One of those cautions kind of killed us."

XR SUPER SERIES SHAKEUP FINAL 2023 SCHEDULE MOVES ALL-TECH TO SEASON CHAMPIONSHIP IN OCTOBER
SILVER BAY, Minn. (January 30, 2022) — XR Events has released the final 2023 XR Super Series schedule after extensive discussions with tracks, teams, and a brief hiatus to restructure the entire XR Events staff and operations. The focus continues to be smart scheduling, big money, and complimentary dates to national touring series and major events. The 2023 XR Super Series Season Championship has been moved to All-Tech Raceway in Lake City, Florida on October 27 & 28, 2023 capped by a $100,000-to-WIN feature. This will replace the February 20, 2023 date. The XR Super Series dates in Las Vegas have been scrapped to allow racers an opportunity to race at other major events. A robust points fund, double down bonus, driver loyalty program, and season championship banquet will be announced in the coming weeks.
