- Overton Denies Thornton in Golden Isles Finale
WAYNESVILLE, Ga. (January 28, 2023) - Brandon Overton utilized a last lap pass coming off turn number four to barely edge Ricky Thornton Jr. at the finish line. Overton earned a Golden Isles Speedway record $25,000 payday on Saturday night in the final night of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series-sanctioned Super Clean Super Bowl of Racing - presented by ICON Electric Vehicles. Overton's 0.056 seconds margin of victory at the finish line was one of the closest in series history. For the second night in a row Thornton suffered a late-race heartbreak to come home in second. Tanner English finished third with Brandon Sheppard and Hudson O'Neal completing the top five finishers. For the third night in a row Overton started from the pole and would lead the first 22 laps of the 60-lap event. Thornton, who started fourth, charged by Hudson O'Neal on lap 13 for second and then pursue Overton before grabbing the point from him on lap 23. English, who started on the inside of the fourth row, moved into the runner-up slot behind Thornton on lap 33. A caution for a slowing Daulton Wilson on the frontstretch on lap 34 would bunch the field up. On the restart Overton got back by English for second and set his sights on Thornton. With five laps to go to Thornton was holding a precarious lead over Overton as he was battling with cars at the tail end of the field. Overton started to move to the top of the and close the gap on Thornton as they took the white flag. Overton with the momentum on the top as the duo exited off the final corner would make the winning pass against the outside retaining wall to steal the victory from Thornton. Overton in Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the fifth time in his career at Golden Isles emerged from his car to the cheering fans in his home state. "I got lucky tonight. Last night I stuffed it in the fence. When I sent it in there tonight, I made sure I had the back end pointed out and on the chip. It just worked out. I hate it for Ricky, but that's what it takes lapped traffic sometimes to play a big part of it. I knew when he [Thornton] passed me I had to stay in second and I had to do a better job of managing my tires. I knew a Hail Mary was all I had. Ricky's run well this week. I am so happy. I love this stuff." "I couldn't let Kyle [Larson come down and show us up like he did last night," Overton added. "I just keep playing it back through my head just trying to make sure I didn't go too soon. I seen the white and I said alright here it is I was going to knock the motor out of it, or I was going to get him. It worked out perfect." Thornton ended the week at Golden Isles with a third-place finish and a pair of runner-up finishes to maintain second place in the championship standings behind Overton. "The bottom was really good. I wanted to stay stuck there and I thought I had enough gap to Dennis [Erb Jr.] and then they got to racing in front of him and it kind of slowed my pace down. I knew he [Overton] was going to throw a Hail Mary in three and four. My crew guys were telling me to move up. It was like one of those deals where I tried it once and it about destroyed the car. Congrats to Brandon. It stinks to lose another one here. But the good part is we have good speed going into the next two days at Bubba." English had his best run of 2023 coming home in third to round out the Big River Steel Podium. "It definitely feels like a win especially against those two guys. They are two of the toughest in the business. We have got to figure out how to get better. It's feels like a rough month, but it's only been a few weeks. We are turning it around."

- Kyle Larson Wins Thriller at Golden Isles
WAYNESVILLE, Ga. (January 27, 2023) - Kyle Larson won a thriller during Friday's Super Clean Super Bowl of Racing - presented by ICON Electric Vehicles. Larson passed Ricky Thornton Jr. on lap 48 to win the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event at Golden Isles Speedway. Thornton, who led laps 30-47 finished in second to earn his second straight Big River Steel Podium. Brandon Overton came home in third after leading the first 29 laps. Earl Pearson Jr. was fourth and Hudson O'Neal rounded out the top five. Overton was in control from the start of the event, but a caution on lap 10 for a slowing G.R. Smith brought out the first of two cautions in the race. On the restart Overton held the point over O'Neal, Thornton and Larson. Larson moved to second on lap 13 as the second caution came a lap later for a slowing Wil Herrington. The remainder of the race went caution free and proved to be a dog fight among the top three of Overton, Larson, and Thornton. Thornton and Larson went toe-to-toe for second behind Overton as those three drivers were using every inch of the track. Thornton kept his car glued to the bottom clearing Larson for second on lap 28. Then two laps later Thornton made the pass on Overton to take the top spot. When Thornton got by, Overton and Larson then had to battle to stay in the hunt for the win. Larson moved back into second on lap 41 relegating Overton to third. Meanwhile, out front Thornton kept his line as Larson and Overton stayed close. Overton got back by Larson for second on lap 45. Larson never gave up and charged to the outside of the track going by Overton and eventually Thornton on lap 48. Larson then opened up enough of a gap to cross the finish line ahead of Thornton and Overton for his first win of 2023. Larson, in his on-track post celebration ended up nose first into the turn three wall, limped his car to Victory Lane. "I feel bad that I tore up a perfectly good race car. I think this takes the cake as far as an embarrassing moment. I don't know what to say. I want to say I am sorry to Kevin Rumley. What a race. I was so excited after the race, because that was an awesome race. There were so many moments out there. I almost got by Overton, and I got too cute. I tried to throw a slider into one and two and I should have known I wasn't going to clear him and that allowed Ricky to get by me and I thought that was the end of the race." Larson added he thought he had given away the race. "I thought I had taken the best car out there and was going to run third with it. Thankfully we caught traffic and Ricky [Thornton Jr.] was content being the leader running the bottom. It was definitely clean down there and there was a lot of grip. I got by Brandon [Overton] I think once and then got on the cushion and fell back to third. I was mad at myself again. I knew I just had to clear him and was able to run bottom in three and four and then I had to just rip the top in the last few laps and get by Ricky. What a phenomenal race. Gosh that was so fun." Thornton, who placed third in the season-opener on Thursday night finished one spot better. "I don't think I could have done anything different in those last few laps. I knew if I would move up, I might have ended up fifth. I didn't want to move Ross [Robinson] off the bottom, because you don't really need that in these deals. I will take a second. The crew is all happy. It was another solid night for the team." Overton, who ended up third was still smiling afterwards despite having his Golden Isles win streak come to an end. "That was a heck of race. It was cleaned up around the bottom. I kept seeing Kyle stick his nose up there and then I see him get kind of stuck and then I said let's give it a whirl up there and see what happens. It is what it is. You win some and you lose some. We will take it. It was fun so we will go onto to tomorrow and try and put on another show." The winner's Rumley Enterprises, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsor by FloRacing, D&E Marine, Hot Rod Septic, Senior Life Insurance Company, Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas, HendrickCars.com, Valvoline, and VP Fuels. Completing the top ten were Dennis Erb Jr., Daulton Wilson, Devin Moran, Kyle Strickler, and Jonathan Davenport.

- Lucas Oil Speedway Preseason Spotlight: After narrow miss, Rob White sets sights on track championship
WHEATLAND, MO. (Jan. 26, 2023) - The cliche answers for most drivers when asked about upcoming season goals are to "just go out and try to win races and let the points take care of themselves" or something to that effect. Rob White is an exception. The veteran driver from Lebanon is specific about his mission in the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Car division at Lucas Oil Speedway. "I want to win the Lucas championship and that's what I'm gonna focus on this year," White said. Why is that so important? "It's the Diamond of Dirt Tracks," White said. "I really want to win the championship there." White is hopeful the old adage "the third time is the charm" applies. He's finished runner-up in the chase for the track championship each of the last two seasons, including a narrow eight-point deficit in 2022. At least it stayed in the family, however, as his son Bryan White won the title last season. Bragging rights also went to the younger White. As they did at Dallas County Speedway where Rob White finished four points behind William Garner in the points battle. He referred to Garner as "like another son" who has gone to the races with the Whites since he was a youngster. Rob White said he joked with both Bryan and William before the final points races of last season about a possible "arrangement." "I told 'em if they'd let me win those points championships that I'd go retire and they could go have fun. They wouldn't do it," Rob White said with a laugh. So his quest in the highly competitive and rapidly growing division will resume in mid-March when the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series kicks off at Lucas Oil Speedway. Rob White, who's raced on and off for three decades in various dirt-track divisions, said the USRA Stock Car class is the most fun he's ever had. "It's real competitive. Everybody gives everybody room and respect," he said. "That means a lot. It's hard to get away from anybody at all. It makes it exciting." It also makes it a bit stressful when racing against his son. The final night of last season was a prime example as Rob needed to finish three spots in front of Bryan to overtake him for the points title. While Rob finished a strong second, Bryan came home in third. "I was keeping an eye on that scoreboard," Rob White said. "I seen when he got to third, that it was over then. Racing with him is stressful. You pay attention to where he's at and quit paying attention to what you're doing. Then the competitive side kicks in and you start racing." Rob said he's proud of Bryan, along with son Jakob White, who won two features in the Pure Stock division last season at Dallas County. "I don't think you can get much more of a proud dad than I am," he said. "Both my boys, they've both had real good success." As for how he hopes to wrest away the Lucas Oil Speedway championship this season, Rob White said it's all about consistency. "The third time's the charm, I hope," he said. "It's just consistency. You've got to be good in your heat races so it gets you lined up good in your features." Rob White said his sponsor list includes Norris Logging, Bowman Bail Bonds, Price Enterprise, The Butcher Shop of Camdenton, Garner and Smith Insurance, The Burger Basket and Mid-State Machine.

- Lucas Oil Speedway Preseason Spotlight: Gillmore eager for more USRA B-Mod success in '23
WHEATLAND, MO. (Jan. 24, 2023) - One year ago, Ryan Gillmore was entering a season of change with anticipation and uncertainty. The long-time successful USRA B-Mod driver from Springfield was debuting a new chassis and wasn't sure what to expect. After 15 overall features victories - including the Summit USRA Nationals B-Mod main event - plus a strong second-place finish in Lucas Oil Speedway Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod points the answer was a resounding success. "I couldn't be any happier with the end result," Gillmore said of his performance in an Allen Autosports car. "It was a benchmark year, for sure, and something that is going to be hard to match this coming season." But Gillmore is itching to give it a shot. The 30-year-old is aiming high, with his sights set on a potential USRA National Championship run, something he won back in 2017. "More of the same, right off the bat, and as the season rolls one I'd like to hit some money shows and win some traveling stuff to get my name out there a little more," Gillmore said of 2023 goals. "I'd like to take a stab at a national championship. This last year we chased it kind of blindly. "You never know how national points are going to shake out. There are so many variables. So, just get as many wins as I can and tear up the least possible." That's kind of how the home stretch of 2022 went for Gillmore, who wound up fifth in USRA national points after winning 11 features from July 29th on last season. Gillmore said it was as good as any stretch he's had in his career and the culmination of collaborating with chassis builder Scotty Allen in fully figuring out the new ride. "Right off the bat did well," Gillmore said. "Then I got complacent on my own and didn't think I was very good in the middle part of the season. Scotty and I worked together and found some things at the end of the season. "I won a lot of big races at the end. The last three months, we were pretty well lights out everywhere we went. I was not really surprised, but was surprised at the same time. I really thought it was gonna take longer just to start figuring some things out with the car, but everything jelled like it was supposed to and it was all good." The confidence when man and machine are clicking is hard to describe. "Everywhere we went, we were in definite contention for the win," he said. "We had speed and no matter what I did, to mess anything up, it seemed like we were good. I knew every time I unloaded that I had confidence that we could win. That helped me mentally knowing that my car was good and I could back it up when I got on the race track." Gillmore called the USRA Nationals triumph, which completed a flawless week that included two other preliminary wins, perhaps the biggest of his career. "It took me a couple of weeks to reflect on it and say, 'I did it,' " Gillmore said. "After it first ended, it was like, 'what happened?' The whole week was a big blur. I don't know what we did to deserve that one, but everything just clicked perfect that whole week." Best of all, the car barely got a scratch on it and that's made for a less-stressful offseason. The immediate challenge, Gillmore said, is finishing up a new race shop before engines fire up for competition in a little more than a month. "We're just gonna freshen up some things and hopefully start the season kind of where we ended," he said. "Just give it a little bit of love before we get back on the road again." Gillmore's race team sponsors return intact. Those include Choate Farms, Yeoman Race Engines, Allen Autosports, Metal Magic Auto Hail Repair, Chaney Doorworks, Ron Ron Motorsports, Vinyl Cup Records, Elena Rodgers Motorsports, Oz Designs, CPD Racing Shocks, McCoy's Iron and Metal, Allen's Automotive, Fast Shafts, Bud's Tire & Wheel, Atnip Enterprises and Show-Me Dirt. Newcomers include C&M Gear Works, Carter's Auto Glass and Polk County Glass. "I'm proud of keeping the same people around year after year on the side of the car," Gillmore said. That means a lot to me, taking care of them while they take care of me." Known for his engaging personality as well as his driving skills, fans can hear Gillmore's Pit Shack Podcast weekly. He and co-host Trevor Drake talk to area drivers and racing figures with a new show out each Thursday or Friday. "We're trying to get a hold of different people in the region and let them tell their story," Gillmore said. "Maybe not always the people who get the recognition or interview time. It's fun to do and it's fun to learn. "We did it for year and a half, until late 2020, then got busy racing. We brought it back about two months ago. There are now 32 episodes total and I'm gonna try to keep it going through the summer, if our racing schedule allows."

- BRADEN CHIARAMONTE MAKES A BIG IMPRESSION IN HIS FIRST-EVER CHILI BOWL MIDGET NATIONALS
(El Cajon, CA, January 17, 2022) One of open-wheel racing's brightest young stars, Braden Chiaramonte, continued to shine in his first-ever appearance at the prestigious Chili Bowl Midget Nationals. As per usual, the young driver created an incredibly positive impression this time against some of the biggest stars in racing over his two nights of action. While it was the 37th annual running of the Chili Bowl Midget Nationals, it was only Chiaramonte's seventh time racing a midget. In addition, the 15-year-old phenom was teaming with car owner Pete Davis to drive his Hot Head Engine Heaters/Esslinger Engineering/RTL Traffic/AM Ortega/Spike Chassis/Esslinger midget #00B for the first time. To say the least, he was excited about the opportunity but had a realistic look at it. 325956068_703075774788836_2910710706913136485_n.jpg The Pete Davis #00B Braden Chiaramonte drove at the 2023 Chili Bowl. Cody Quarles Photo. "I really didn't have much," Chiaramonte responded when asked about his expectations going into the multi-night event. "Really just wanted to make it to a C or a B main (on Saturday). I wanted to make the A (main) but I knew that would be pretty tough in my first year. Yeah, I was pretty happy. I was kind of hoping to make to make a B main but for my first Chili BowI think it was pretty good. We made it to the C." "It was pretty crazy walking into the building with that many cars," the young driver continued. "The first practice we went out it was pretty crazy. You think you can use a lot of throttle but you really can't. The track has a lot of grip for sure and the midget really want to wheelie. You have to be really easy on the throttle. I have watched a lot of videos of the track And it is a lot different when you were in the car than what you see in those videos." After the practice, which was comprised of two four-lap sessions on the track, Chiaramonte had to wait until Friday for his race night. The youthful driver did not waste the opportunity sightseeing or partying away from the track. Instead, he watched nearly every lap of each race from Monday through Thursday. He studied the more experienced drivers and he studied the track so he would be ready for his first race on Friday. "Yeah, when I first got there, I thought you had to be really aggressive," the California racer responded when asked if watching helped. "The more you watch, you know you have to be patient but also aggressive. It is not like the Shoot-Out. If you pass one car, you're going to be sitting pretty good in points. In the shootout, you have to be passing a couple cars to be sitting pretty good." The viewing efforts paid big dividends and to say that Chiaramonte and the Davis meshed well from the start would be an understatement. The duo debuted on Friday in the third 10-lap heat race. Chiaramonte scored a hard-earned wire-to-wire win over a veteran field of drivers. "It was tough, but Pete gave me a great car," Chiaramonte told the worldwide audience watching on Flo Racing after the race when asked how he held off the field. "Big thanks to him for letting me come race my first Chili Bowl. All the guys, Grant, Shane, Cody, my dad, and my mom. I want to thank everybody for helping me out. Just keep this going and see what happens. Hopefully, start good in our qualifier, try to move forward, and just get as many points as I can and go from there." As the night continued, the competition for the 15-year-old racer who has World of Outlaws aspirations got tougher and tougher. That was evident in his 10-lap qualifier when he started and finished in fifth place. The points he accumulated In his heat race and his qualifier sent him to the B main event. Those points also earned him a pole position start. The race was 15 laps and featured 16 cars. There was literally no room for error as only the top four would transfer onto the night's A main event. Chiaramonte settled into second on the start and stayed there for the duration. The leader and Chiaramonte simply walked away from the field to earn their tickets to the main event. For the Friday night main, Chiaramonte started in the 19th spot. The 30-lapper featured racing and an abundance of crashing. The Chili Bowl and crashing seem to go hand in hand as drivers advance forward on the small track in the world-famous SageNet Center. The main lived up to the reputation with crash after crash taking place. Where Chiaramonte started the race made him susceptible to the tangles as it was going to happen in front of him. However, the young driver kept his cool and stayed out of the destruction for the duration. In the race, Chiaramonte started to advance forward just past the halfway point. He seesawed between 19th and 17th and was 18th with seven laps to go. After the last yellow flag slowed the race on lap 35, he powered the gorgeous black racecar forward to finish 14th. "It is pretty hard on the Small track," Chiaramonte said regarding the crashes on the tight track. "You try and look way ahead. You are just trying to miss everything that you can because that is more positions that you will get. If you are going backwards (by being involved in incidents), you are going to be way behind in points." Saturday saw Chiaramonte roll on the track for the first of two C main events. For a rookie at the Chili Bowl that is extremely impressive. Consider that there are 23 qualifying races on Saturday. The lowest point drivers started in a pair of O main events. Chiaramonte's Performance on Friday that saw him score 115 points was good enough to put him in one of the one of the top four qualifiers of those 23 races. It also matched him with a field of drivers who were superstars. Starting 14th in the 15-lap C main. Chiaramonte ran as high as 12th and ended up finishing 11th. It was another impressive showing for a 15-year-old rookie in a field of 20 cars of that was made up of seasoned drivers mostly seasoned veterans from around the country. A surprise bonus for the team at the Chili Bowl was the addition of popular driver Thomas "T-Mez" Meseraull from San Jose, California. While he was competing with another team at the event, Davis brought him in to coach Chiaramonte and to set up the car as well. It was a tremendous boost for the teen in the prestigious race. "Pete wanted somebody good to be coaching me and wrenching," the personable Chiaramonte stated. "Pete has known T-Mez for a while so he just called him. T-Mez said he would do it. It was a lot of help. Me or my dad to not know a lot about midget stuff. It was good going into the weekend knowing we have somebody there knowing the setup. " In five starts over two nights, Chiaramonte's poise, confidence, and driving talent shined bright. He advanced forward from his starting position in three of the races. Only once did he finish in a worse position than he started. That was a one-spot drop with that second-place finish in the Friday B main. In one other race, the Friday qualifier, he finished where he started. All told, of the 365 drivers that raced, he placed 87th overall. A very impressive performance by a rookie driver. As the full 2023 season is just around the corner, Chiaramonte and his team are making plans for a busy year.

- Lucas Oil Speedway Preseason Spotlight: USRA Modified runner-up Hodges preps for double duty
WHEATLAND, MO. (Jan. 17, 2023) - Dustin Hodges is eager to see some double duty in 2023, adding a Super Late Model to his USRA Modified stable. After finishing a close second to Dillon McCowan in the Lucas Oil Speedway Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified division last season, plans came together this offseason for Hodges to drive a Rocket XR1. "I'm really excited to get to try something that's been an ultimate dream," Hodges said. The specifics of Hodges' schedule remains uncertain, though the driver from Centralia does plan to make his debut in the Late Model at the 10th annual MLRA Spring Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway, March 31 and April 1. "We hope to do some MLRA stuff and some regional stuff, just to kind of get our feet wet and try to create as much of a notebook as we can this year," Hodges said. "The plan is to kind of see how things go with it. "I think our main focus will be the Modified, but our main goal with it would be to hit a half-dozen to a dozen races with the Late Model." While stepping into the open Late Model world will be new, driving Late Models is not foreign to Hodges. He won ULMA national championships in 2016 and 2018 and was a series rookie of the year in 2015. In recent years, Hodges settled into the Modified division and has been a consistent contender. He raced regularly at Lucas Oil Speedway for the first time in 2022 and got better as the year went on, finishing with two wins in the second half of the season to go with 12 top-five finishes in 14 events. Hodges wound up only 22 points behind McCowan in the points chase. He also picked up six feature wins and the track championship at Callaway Raceway. Overall, Hodges was third in USRA National points behind Tyler Davis and McCowan. "It was a really good year," Hodges said. "The last half was really awesome once we finally got things figured out to what we were needing. Once we got the car dialed in, everything went pretty darn smooth." The success at Lucas was rewarding, especially the first trips to victory lane. "Getting to race at that premier track, knowing that it is halfway close to home … we had a blast," Hodges said. "It seems like overall track conditions have changed a little bit and it kind of fits us a little better." He's looking to continue that success at Wheatland this season, even if he doesn't run the Modified for points. "I wouldn't say we really have specific goals," Hodges said of the year ahead. "Every time we jump in the Modified, I would like to be a podium car for sure and compete for wins everywhere we go with it. The Late Model stuff, we're just trying to keep an open mind and try to learn from all those guys. "The amount of technology and, unfortunately the amount of money it takes to run a Late Model, we have to see if we can compete and keep everything well-maintained to see if we can run with those guys." If the budget allowed, Hodges said he would like to run the Late Model all season and chase the MLRA rookie title. That might not be in the cards, however, with only one motor on hand. "Our ultimate goal is to get an additional power-plant so we can look to run for the (MLRA) Rookie title," Hodges said. Hodges' crew includes his uncle John Doerr and friend Kyle Harrison. Team sponsors are Kimberling Enterprise, Danny Crane Race Engines, Foundation Recovery Systems, Mid-America Carpenters Union, Melloway Fast Traps, Iron Gate Real Estate, The Drain Doctor, Rich and Chris Mobile Home Transport, Danny Wimer Law Firm, Show-Me Heating & Air and Flood Zone Motorworks.

- Tanner Thorson Dominates John Christner Trucking Qualifying Night!
Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (January 12, 2023) Putting things in overdrive on Saturday night, Tanner Thorson served notice with an absolutely dominating performance on Thursday's John Christner Trucking Qualifying Night at the 37th annual Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals presented by General Tire. What looked like a rocky start to his night with a spin in his OERB Heat Race, Thorson immediately bounced back to win his opening laps of competition. Sixth to second in his Team Toyota Qualifier, from there, it was lights out for the Maestro Classic/Bob Hurley RV No. 88 "I thought my prelim night was over at the start of that Heat Race. I was just kind of waiting to get hit, luckily enough I didn't and was able to keep going," stated Thorson on the start of his night. Working the top of the Tulsa Expo Raceway at all ends, the No. 88 went unchallenged through four cautions, with each one keeping the leaders from contending with traffic. Slowing down for the final time on Lap 24, the gap over second grew to 1.376-seconds at the finish. Chased the entire 30 laps by Emerson Axsom, the AME Electric No. 19t was solidly in second the entire race. A battle through several restarts for the show position, the spot finally went to fifth, starting Brady Bacon, who made the pass on Lap 24. Tim Buckwalter made it to fourth from ninth, with Tanner Carrick rolling from eleventh to fifth. Racing third from the start, the race with Bacon slipped Sarff out of his groove and slipped him back to sixth. Chase Johnson, in seventh, was pursued by California's Ryan Bernal, who came from 17th to eighth. Dominic Gorden and Joe B. Miller made the top ten. John Christner Trucking Qualifying night included 72 drivers, bringing the event count to 289 for the week. The 2023 Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals presented by General Tire, takes place January 9-14, 2023, atop the clay of the Tulsa Expo Raceway. The event is contested under the massive roof of the SageNet Center in Tulsa, Okla. The offices of the Chili Bowl Nationals are open Monday-Friday from 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. (CT).

- Tanner Thorson Dominates John Christner Trucking Qualifying Night!
Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (January 12, 2023) Putting things in overdrive on Saturday night, Tanner Thorson served notice with an absolutely dominating performance on Thursday's John Christner Trucking Qualifying Night at the 37th annual Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals presented by General Tire. What looked like a rocky start to his night with a spin in his OERB Heat Race, Thorson immediately bounced back to win his opening laps of competition. Sixth to second in his Team Toyota Qualifier, from there, it was lights out for the Maestro Classic/Bob Hurley RV No. 88 "I thought my prelim night was over at the start of that Heat Race. I was just kind of waiting to get hit, luckily enough I didn't and was able to keep going," stated Thorson on the start of his night. Working the top of the Tulsa Expo Raceway at all ends, the No. 88 went unchallenged through four cautions, with each one keeping the leaders from contending with traffic. Slowing down for the final time on Lap 24, the gap over second grew to 1.376-seconds at the finish. Chased the entire 30 laps by Emerson Axsom, the AME Electric No. 19t was solidly in second the entire race. A battle through several restarts for the show position, the spot finally went to fifth, starting Brady Bacon, who made the pass on Lap 24. Tim Buckwalter made it to fourth from ninth, with Tanner Carrick rolling from eleventh to fifth. Racing third from the start, the race with Bacon slipped Sarff out of his groove and slipped him back to sixth. Chase Johnson, in seventh, was pursued by California's Ryan Bernal, who came from 17th to eighth. Dominic Gorden and Joe B. Miller made the top ten. John Christner Trucking Qualifying night included 72 drivers, bringing the event count to 289 for the week. The 2023 Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals presented by General Tire, takes place January 9-14, 2023, atop the clay of the Tulsa Expo Raceway.

- Lucas Oil Speedway Preseason Spotlight: Cox looks to build on hot Late Model finish
WHEATLAND, MO. (Jan. 12, 2023) - Tucker Cox finished the 2022 racing season in a rush, then it was over. Cox captured a long-sought first Late Model feature victory at Lucas Oil Speedway, along with two feature triumphs at Callaway Raceway. Now with a new season approaching, the 23-year-old from Jefferson City is eager to try and carry over the momentum. "It was pretty good overall," Cox said of last season. "I was a little frustrated about midway through the year, but at the end we won three of the last four races. We started getting the car figured out." Cox wound up a distant second to veteran Larry Ferris in the Lucas Oil Speedway Hermitage Lumber Late Model points chase as Ferris had a dominant season. But Cox, who's still learning the Late Model game, is planning an ambitious schedule in 2023 with 39 events planned, between Lucas and Callaway. "With a couple of other places, we hope to run 43 total," said Cox, who said his MB Customs race car is just about ready to roll after a motor freshening and usual offseason maintenance. Cox, the son of long-time Late Model regional racer Chris Cox, said the car started to come around when he stopped trying to throw the kitchen sink at it between his heat race and the feature. Things clicking the final Saturday night of August at Wheatland when he led all 20 laps to prevail, by 1.5 seconds over Matt Becker. "Winning that first (feature at Lucas) meant a lot because we finally got everything going the right direction," Cox said. "We weren't really far off. Larry Ferris was really good. We just needed to not change so much from the heat race to the feature. "That was the biggest thing. I was over-adjusting a little bit for the feature. It was more my fault than anything really. We changed a few things on the shocks and springs and that was really about it." As for 2023 goals, Cox is ready to raise his standard. He recently told his dad he wants to win at least 10 features this season. "I think that's a pretty good goal," he said. "As far as the points go, I'd like to win Wheatland's track championship as well as Callaway's. But I'm not gonna get too worried about points. Just gonna try to win all I can and go from there." Cox knows that Ferris will be tough to beat, but he welcomes the challenge. "Larry and Brian Larimore worked really hard last year," Cox said. "Larry's a really good driver and he's been racing for a long time. It's hard to compete with him, but I'm glad he races with us. That makes me better and everybody else better, too." When Lucas Oil Speedway released the schedule, which finds the season opening several weeks earlier than it did a year ago, Cox smiled. That's when his idea of a busy workload, of 39 or more races, kicked in. "I'm real excited because Wheatland is starting a little bit earlier," he said. "I like starting earlier. Hopefully if we have troubles, we get those out of the way early. Hopefully we don't have any. The main thing is starting the season out a little stronger than last year." Cox said he's seeking addition sponsors or marketing partners to join a lineup that includes State Technical College, Cole County Upholstery, Extreme Racing Oil, MB Custom, Yeoman Race Engines, C&S Exteriors andAdvanced Heating and Cooling. Season openers: 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. Classes in action include the Hermitage Lumber Late Models, Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds, O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars, and the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods. The Hermitage Lumber Late Models will be running a special 25-lap $1,000-to-win featured event.

- Bloomsburg Fair Raceway sets 2023 schedule in motion…USAC All-Pro SpeedSTRs will headline division line-up
(BLOOMSBURG 12-29-22): The Bloomsburg Fair Raceway has just put the finishing touches on the 2023 schedule of events that will be run at the 3/8-mile dirt oval located inside the Bloomsburg Fairgrounds with a dozen race dates slated that will all be held on Thursday evenings throughout the season. The action will commence on April 20 and continue through September 28. All racing will start at 7:00 pm. The Bloomsburg Fair Raceway will continue to keep up its goal of presenting action packed family entertainment at a good value although this year will also be a bit of a different feel as the track will run more standard divisions and for the first time there will be class champions crowned when all is said and done. Heading up the line-up will be the USAC All-Pro SpeedSTRs which bring an exciting brand of open-cockpit racing no matter where they compete at. Last season the SpeedSTRs participated for the first time at Bloomsburg - racing twice - and each feature turned out to be very thrilling and won by pair of standout drivers with Timmy Buckwalter and Billy Pauch Jr., taking respective victories over star-studded fields. Joining the SpeedSTRs will be the 602 Crate Modifieds which over the last few seasons continue to gain in popularity at the various northeast tracks they run at. It won't come as a surprise to see some drivers doing double duty between the SpeedSTRs and Modifieds. The 602 Crate Modifieds will have a special night on July 13 with a $1500-to-win Short Track Super Series North Region feature. Another division that will see its share of activity is the 4-Cylinder Stocks that will be run under the SCDRA rules. This class is made up of 4-cylinder front wheel drive cars, all of which made their way to the track after at one time being a daily drivers on the open road. Rounding out the Bloomsburg card will be the Slingshots by Tobias. The Slingshot mimics a scaled down dirt Modified and is powered by a Briggs & Stratton engine. Slingshots give drivers the opportunity to race without the large investment of motorsports and these purpose built race cars are designed for 1/8 to 1/3 mile dirt and pavement speedways. In the case of Bloomsburg a specially designed track will be in place for them. Additional touring groups will be hitting the track as well. IMCA Modifieds, ARDC Midgets, Wingless Sportsman and the 305 PASS Sprint cars all have selective dates inked. Prior to the April 20 opener a Test and Tune will be held on Thursday, April 13 from 6:00 pm to 9:30 pm and is open all divisions. Weekly driver meeting will take place at 6:00 pm followed by warm-ups at 6:15. Heats and qualifying will get underway starting at 7:00. Pits will open at 5:00 and grandstands at 6:00. Pits are $30 per person and grandstands are $15 for adults, $13 for seniors, active military and students. Kids 6-12 are $5 under 6 are free.

- First Draft Of Qualifying Nights For The 37th Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals Released
Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (December 25, 2022) Santa has come and gone, and that means it's officially "Driller Season" in Oklahoma. With that, the first draft of qualifying nights has been released for the 37th annual Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals presented by General Tire. Taking Place January 9-14, 2023, atop the Tulsa Expo Raceway, located under the roof of the SageNet Center at Expo Square, the first five nights will see complete shows with the current list of 355 competitors separated out and all of them looking to punch their ticket directly into Saturday's A-Feature. Taking only the top two from each night straight into the 55-lap championship feature, finishing positions behind that is everything in setting yourself up in Saturday's infamous Alphabet. The breakdown of how qualifying nights set up Saturday is posted at https://www.chilibowl.com/about. Slopping upward as the week goes until Friday, the number of entrants on Friday is intentionally kept light at first release to give teams a place to move if they experience mechanical issues during Sunday's Practice.

- Lucas Oil Speedway selected for one of six 2023 SRX Thursday night events on ESPN
WHEATLAND, MO. (Dec. 21, 2022) - Some of the world's best-known drivers are coming to Lucas Oil Speedway for the first time in 2023 as part of the popular Superstar Racing Experience (SRX) six-race series. The finale of the six events will be held at Lucas Oil Speedway on Thursday, Aug. 17 with the telecast set to begin at 8 p.m. CDT on ESPN and the ESPN App. "The six tracks we selected came from a list of 42 fantastic venues, all who had real interest in hosting an SRX race this summer," said Don Hawk, SRX Chief Executive Officer. "When selecting the schedule, we prioritized historic tracks that have had success hosting big-time events. "We are really excited with the six tracks that have been selected - the venues will be packed and bring incredible energy and local racing passion that will come out on ESPN for Thursday Night Thunder. This summer will be short-track racing at its very best. SRX at 6 historic short tracks all over the US - we can't wait and are so excited for the fans to experience it on ESPN in prime time." Hawk said that Lucas Oil Speedway as "an easy selection" for inclusion on the 2023 schedule. "Tony Stewart had a big hand in helping with the selections of iconic race tracks and when you hear the name Lucas Oil, and Lucas Oil Speedway, you just go 'wow, I want to go there,' " Hawk added. "They were literally on our radar from day one, when when requests starting coming in. They get it, they understand it and they understand the big picture and we can't wait to go there." The SRX schedule (all events at 9 p.m. EDT on ESPN): July 13 - Stafford Motor Speedway (Stafford Springs, Conn.) July 20 - Thunder Road Speedbowl (Barre, Vermont) July 27 - Motor Mile Speedway (Radford, Va.) Aug. 3 - Berlin Raceway (Grand Rapids, Mich.) Aug. 10 - Eldora Speedway (New Weston, Ohio) Aug. 17 - Lucas Oil Speedway (Wheatland, Mo.) The final two races are back-to-back dirt-track events with the SRX champion determined as the checkered flag flies at Lucas Oil Speedway. "We're thrilled to be a part of the SRX," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. "We can't wait for racing fans across the world to see Lucas Oil Speedway on ESPN and I know our fans will turn out in force for this one-of-a-kind event with some of the legends of racing in action." Hawk gave a further breakdown of the schedule, starting with the opener at Stafford which is near the ESPN campus in Bristol, Conn. "It was important to us to kick-off this summer at Stafford Motor Speedway, in Bristol's backyard," Hawk said. "Stafford and the Arute family have done a first-class job, and the proximity to ESPN made the home-game concept very exciting. SRX's first visit to Thunder Road (VT) will be awesome - the fans there are spectacular, and we're excited for race rans around the country to see how awesome that place is. "We are equally excited to visit Motor Mile and Berlin Race - these are two tracks that have been on our radar since day one. Finally, finishing the season with back-to-back dirt races will test the driver's adaptability. Eldora is a world-class facility, and with Tony [Stewart], we know we are getting the very best. And hosting our championship at Lucas Oil Speedway in Missouri will be the perfect finale to a diverse and exciting 2023 summer schedule." According to a Sports Business Journal story, SRX last year averaged just over 1 million viewers on CBS, and it was able to break even financially after selling out five of the six races it held. In that story, Hawk said he's received an uptick in interest from drivers in NASCAR and IndyCar who are interested in competing because the series has switched from Saturdays to Thursdays. Hawk said that about half the driver roster already is filled, but announcement of the entire roster likely will come later in January or February. Superstar Racing Experience (SRX) was created by Sandy Montag and The Montag Group, Investor and former NASCAR COO, George Pyne, NASCAR Hall of Famer and legendary driver Tony Stewart, and NASCAR Hall of Fame Crew Chief and Owner Ray Evernham. Over the first two seasons of SRX, the six-race series has featured drivers from a variety of racing backgrounds with an emphasis on champion-level drivers. SRX has seen some of the sport's biggest names compete including: Tony Stewart, Bill Elliott, Chase Elliott, Tony Kanaan, Paul Tracy, Bobby Labonte, Willy T. Ribbs, Hailie Deegan, Ryan Blaney, Ryan Newman, Greg Biffle, Marco Andretti, Matt Kenseth, Michael Waltrip, Josef Newgarden, Ryan Hunter-Reay, Helio Castroneves, and many more. In 2022, the series field featured a total of five NASCAR Cup Series Championships, three IndyCar Series Championships, four Daytona 500 Winners, five Indianapolis 500 Winners and four NASCAR Hall of Fame Drivers. Tony Stewart claimed the inaugural SRX Championship in 2021 and Marco Andretti claimed the 2022 Championship For more information on the Superstar Racing Experience visit srxracing.com.

- BRODY ROA COMPLETED HIS 2022 SEASON AT THE TURKEY NIGHT GRAND PRIX
(Cypress, CA, December 7, 2022) Nearly eleven months after it started, Brody Roa finished his 2022 racing season in the 81st annual Turkey Night Grand Prix at Jim Naylor's Ventura Raceway. Contesting the USAC West Coast Sprint Car Series portion of the program in Jayson May's pretty #8M sprint car, the Garden Grove, California driver ended up finishing 17th in the 30-lap main event due to some late-race bad luck. 310350912_10166729824325201_6527411594461310400_n.jpg Brody Roa's Turkey Night Grand Prix ride. May photo. The two-night program featured heat races, qualifiers, and a dash for the sprint cars on Friday night. An outstanding field of 49 entries showed up for the event. Drivers did not qualify but rather drew for positions in the Friday night heat races. Roa pulled a number that placed him in the second heat race on the famous 1/5-of-a-mile clay oval. The 31-year-old started in the fourth position in his heat race. By the end of the opening go around he was second and was applying immediate heat to the leader. The veteran racer kept the pressure up all the way to the Kris Kornder checkered flag but he had to settle for second. The finish placed him on the outside of row number one for his 12-lap qualifier. From there, he steered the #8M into the lead and proceeded to stay out front every inch of the way. Two races down and everything was working to perfection. However, that was about to change. With the heat and qualifiers out of the way, there was only one thing left for Roa on the night. That was the 15-lap dash for the top 10 drivers in points after the heat races and the qualifiers. The way they finished the dash would be the way they started the main event straight up. Roa was on the outside of the second row in fourth for the start. He stayed in that position over the first two circuits before slipping back to fifth on lap three. On lap nine Roa moved back to the 4th place spot. That pass moved him up a full row in Saturday's main if he could stay there. Everything went smoothly until lap 12. Entering turn three, the second-place car clipped one of the huge tires protecting the end of the crashwall at the pit entrance. That caused the car to spin and it also kicked the tire onto the track. The third-place driver, Roa's teammate Chase Johnson, hit the tire and turned over. Roa, who was close behind, had nowhere to go and slid into the mess. For good measure, another car sailed into Roa and the red flag came out. For all intents and purposes, it looked like Roa was done for the night. In fact, he climbed out of his car and took off his helmet. But after a closer look, he realized his car was not damaged as much as he thought. The veteran racer pushed his helmet back on, climbed back in the car, and bumped off for the restart. By that time there were only seven cars left in the race. That meant Roa had to restart at the back in seventh. In the remaining laps, he passed one car to finish sixth and start one spot closer to the front in Saturday's championship main event. Saturday night Roa and his fellow competitors were greeted by a near-capacity crowd at one of America's most popular dirt tracks. In addition to the packed house, the race was also seen by thousands more around the world on Flo Racing. Being that he finished sixth in points the previous night, Roa did not have to race in any of the preliminaries. He was seeded right into the 30-lap finale and would start on the outside of the third row in May's gorgeous #8M. At the drop of the Chris Kornder green flag, Roa immediately went on the attack. However, the green flag was short-lived as the caution came out on the second circuit. For the restart, Roa was in fifth and he dogged the fourth-place car for the first 1/3 of the race. By lap 20, he had slipped back to seventh. As the race reached the waning laps, he was still in seventh, but with an engine issue and an overzealous driver clobbering him from behind, Roa was knocked from the action with two laps to go. He ended up 17th. The Ventura result was not the way "The Pride of Garden Grove" wanted to conclude the season but he did have a very good year. He had 15 top-10 finishes and 11 of those were in the top five. Despite not running the full USAC/CRA schedule, Roa's total of three wins was second-best on the circuit and he finished sixth in points. Highlights of the year included his win at Mohave Valley after he started 11th in the main event. At Santa Maria, he drove to the win in the 410 race in May's 360 powered rocketship. He also had a win in May's car in a USAC West Coast Series race at Ventura. In addition to his non-wing endeavors, Roa, also qualified for his first-ever World of Outlaws main event at Perris on March 26th. It was only his second-ever race in the legendary series. The first came 24 hours earlier at Bakersfield. While the 2022 season just ended, 2023 will kick off in just five weeks in Tulsa, Oklahoma at the Chili Bowl. The sprint car season will kick off two weeks after that at the Cocopah Speedway in Arizona. In between now and Cocopah, the team will be working on cars, ordering parts, and exploring marketing opportunities with potential partners.

- First Look: 2023 Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Entry List Climbs Beyond 100 Entries
Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (November 30, 2022) Making its annual debut once the list of Golden Driller hopefuls surpasses the century mark, the first round of entries into the 37th annual Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals presented by General Tire has been posted with 116 entries ready to chase history. Opening November 9, the first entry received was from Trifecta Motorsports for driver, Kyle Jones. The 2023 event marks the ninth time the Kennedale, Texas, shoe will attempt the Chili Bowl Nationals. During his 2022 run, Kyle transferred from a C-Feature and ran to a 13th-place finish in Saturday's first Dave.com B-Feature. With two past champions, 18 A-Feature starters, and 27 event rookies in the field already, the list, as always, is the most diverse in all of racing. Returning to defend his 2022 title, Nevada native turned Oklahoma resident Tanner Thorson will do so in his own equipment. Returning to his No. 88, the 13-time USAC National Midget winner was recently on track during the 81st running of the ARP Turkey Night Grand Prix at Ventura Raceway, in which he raced from 11th to lead late in the race before a spin relegated him to a 19th place finish. The other champion on the list is none other than Sammy Swindell. The most prolific name in Chili Bowl history, the five-time champion will make his 33rd appearance atop Tulsa clay this January. Having made the cut in 25 A-Features, Sammy's record includes 13 podiums, 14 top-five, and 17 top-ten finishes on Saturday night. While not as busy, Sammy was on track 23 times during the 2022 season with runs against the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars, Tezos All-Star Circuit of Champions, and the American Sprint Car Series. While it is always hard to call most on the list of Chili Bowl first-timers by the title of "Rookie," the title will just have to due. Just don't tell Jacob Allen that. Driver of the Shark Racing No. 1A with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars, the driver from Hanover, Penn. will be behind the wheel of a Cruz Pedregon-owned entry. Bringing east and west together, the Pedregon Racing stable rounds out with event rookie Kalib Henry, who recently signed on with car owner Shane Liebig for the 2023 season. Another quick dive into the list of rookies and one name will stand out for anyone who follows racing. Andretti. Joining the field in 2023, Indiana's Adam Andretti will take on the Chili Bowl for Jeff Johnson Racing. Competing in a myriad of divisions during his career, the younger brother of the late John Andretti races for Peterson Racing in the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli in the TA2 class. While the storylines are seemingly endless when looking through the list of entries, the current list debuts as follows: Car# - Driver (City, State) 00J-John Heitzman (San Jose, IL) 01A-Aaron Sanders (Celestine, IN) 1-Sammy Swindell (Germantown, TN) 1A-Jacob Allen (Hanover, PA) 1G-Justin Peck (Monrovia, IN) 1i-Ashton Torgerson (Medford, OR) 1K-Brayton Lynch (Springfield, IL) 02-Matt Rossi (Peoria, AZ) 2B-Tanner Berryhill (Bixby, OK) 2C-J.R.

- Christian Wins Antioch Speedway Finale
Antioch, CA...November 26...Morgan Hill's Jimmy Christian won the 25 lap Wingless Spec Sprint Main Event Saturday night as the season finally came to a close at Antioch Speedway. Christian is a two-time Watsonville Speedway champion, and he led the race from the outset. Early on, there was a battle for second between previous winner Ethon Lanfri of Milpitas and Nathan Schank of Phoenix, Arizona. Following a yellow flag on Lap 5, the two drivers got a little too close for comfort in Turn 4 with both flipping to end their race. Christian led Jacob Tuttle of Oakley on the next restart. They kept that order through a couple of slowdowns. Traffic became a factor late in the race, but Christian made all the right moves to hold off Tuttle for the victory. Brent Steck of Roseville ended up third ahead of Shane Hopkins of Placerville and Josh Young of Roseville. Five-time champion Troy Foulger. of Oakley scored the win in the 20 lap IMCA Modified Main Event. This was the seventh win of the season for Foulger In the Bowers Motorsports owned entry. Foulger started on the front row and charged into the lead ahead of Randy McDaniel of Olivehurst. Foulger built a half-lap advantage over the past Marysville champion McDaniel by the end of the race. Oakley's Jeff Browne had a good battle going with Olivehurst's Phillip Shelby for third before finally grabbing the spot for good, followed by Danny Malfatti of Hayward and Chris Lewis of Oroville. Trevor Clymens of Brentwood returned to the IMCA Sport Modifieds and won the 25 lap Main Event. He was the top rookie in IMCA Modifieds this year and was a three-time Sport Modified champion prior to that. Jason Ryan Jr of Oakley took the early lead and held it until contact exiting Turn 1 on Lap 9 between he and Clymens allowed Gazelle's Jace Wright, a regular at Siskiyou Golden Speedway, to grab the lead. Wright led until contact in Turn 2 on Lap 19 with Clymens saw him spin. Clymens took the lead at that point and held off State champion Jacob Mallet Jr of Oakley the rest of the way for the win. Ryan rebounded for third ahead of Jonathan Hagio of Prunedale and Wright. Ty Carlson of Stockton won the 20 lap Pacific Coast General Engineering Hobby Stock Main Event. Carlson is a Late Model racer at the Stockton 99 Speedway, and he took advantage of his front row starting opportunity to lead the entire distance in his first Antioch Speedway start. Carlson charged into the lead when the green flag waved, followed by IMCA Modified racer Terry DeCarlo Jr of Martinez, who was piloting the Kenneth Robles car. Through multiple yellow flags, it was DeCarlo challenging Carlson at numerous points, even pulling side by side at times. During the final few laps, however, Carlson stretched his advantage to score the victory. Jason Poppert of Sacramento was a solid third, followed by Taylor DeCarlo of Martinez and Jeremy Langenderfer of Corning. Mike Learn of Petaluma won the 20 lap Super Stock Main Event. Learn is a past Petaluma and Tri State Pro Stock Series champion, and he started on the front row to take the immediate lead. Richard Vander Ploeg of Oroville ran second for the first seven laps before the only yellow flag waved on Lap 7 for a backstretch crash. Learn continued to lead the restart as champion Jim Freethy of Danville moved into second. Learn pulled away to a straightaway advantage with Freethy a solid second, followed by Mike Walko of Knightsen, Wayne Trimble of Auburn and Vander Ploeg. Dana Gardner of San Bruno won the 20 lap Print Club Mini Stock Main Event. He had a bad start as Merced champion Austin Sprague of Oakdale took the early lead ahead of Dennis Cosens of Mentmore, New Mexico. Costens made an outside pass on Sprague to take the lead on Lap 3, and the two engaged in a close, sometimes side by side battle for several laps. Following a Lap 16 yellow flag for a lost bumper from the Sprague car, third place Gardner moved into the lead. Gardner led the rest of the way to win ahead of Sprague, Costens, Eddie Humphrey III of Torrance and Daniel Bond of Oakdale. Bakersfield's Jerry Flippo won the 20 lap IMCA Stock Car Main Event. Flippo is a multi-time Modified champion at his home track. He jumped into the immediate lead ahead of Fred Ryland of Brentwood. Ryland broke on Lap 10 for the only yellow flag of the race. Flippo scored a convincing victory ahead of Anthony Giuliani Morgan Hill and Kenneth Robles of Rio Vista.

- CLS DRIVER AJ BENDER MAKES IT TWO WINS IN A ROW AT PLACERVILLE'S HANGTOWN 100
(Torrance, CA, November 22, 2022) In November 2021, San Diego's AJ Bender came to the "Hangtown 100" and finished second all three nights. Not wanting to face that frustration again this year, Bender scored a convincing win in night #2 of the prestigious lightning sprint car race at the Placerville Speedway last Friday. It was his second victory at the track in 24 hours, and his third on the banked red clay quarter mile in 2022. Overall, it was his fifth lightning sprint car win of the year. 316108167_10224947420026830_1319108853916825848_n.jpg AJ Bender with his crew chief Seth Wilson after their second win in 24 hours at Placerville. MMRACINGPHOTOS.COM Just like in 2021 when Bender was added to the Sexton Gatlin Racing roster for the end of the season, the team brought him back again to close out 2022. The 29-year-old's record with SGR in that time has been phenomenal. He has nine starts with the team. Of the nine, he has won four times. He has also finished runner-up three times, third once, and fifth one time. With him starting on the outside of the second row on Friday, anybody who doubted that he could possibly win had to be foolish. When the 19-car field took to the track for the 25-lapper, Ken Coulsten Jr of Bermuda Dunes was on the pole. Starting next to him was Colorado's Johnny Boos, who gave a very good account of himself finishing fourth the night before. Warner Springs teenager "Shugah" Shane Sexton, who competes against Bender in the USAC/CRA 410 Sprint Car Series, was on the inside of the second row with Bender just to his right. 2021 POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series champion Grant Sexton, "Shugah" Shane's cousin, and Freemont's Greg Dennett were in row three. At the drop of the green flag Coulston, who was only making his fourth start of the year, drove his brilliant blue #32 into the lead. Boos was second and Bender was third. Bender, who won the 2021 Sprint car portion of the Turkey Night Grand Prix at the Ventura Raceway, wasted little time in getting to the front. In fact, he jetted by Coulston for the top spot with an inside pass coming off turn two on the second circuit. Not long after that, Coulston slowed dramatically and slid back in the pack. Lap two also saw the demise of Sutter's Logan Seavey. The winner of two of the three lightning sprint mains at the 2021 "Hangtown 100," went up in smoke and pulled his car to the infield. By the end of the fifth lap, Bender had established a comfortable lead. Boos was second, and Shane Sexton was third. 2021 BCRA champ Dakota Albright of Waterford had impressively raced all the way up to fourth after starting 11th. Things stayed the same until the ninth lap when Sexton advanced his position to second when he got by Boos. However, he had little time to relish his tenure in the runner-up spot as Albright blew by both of them in the next turn. By the time Albright took up residence in second place, Bender, in the Boczanowski/Sexton Fire Protection/BK Wings/Johnny Motorhead/Troy Dirt/Victory Graphix/Swift Powdercoat/Maxima Oil/Automated Interior/Scotty and Jimmy Keys/#22, had already built a 2 ½ second lead. Bender hit the lapped traffic on lap 10 but it failed to slow him down. Five laps later, he had advanced his advantage to 3.2 seconds. Late in the race, Bender met up with a gaggle of lappers and it did allow Albright to slightly close the gap. However, when the checkered flag came down it was Bender by a half straightaway. Albright wrapped up his impressive performance by placing second with Shane Sexton third, Dennett fourth, and Brent Sexton fifth. Albright's sterling display made him the race "Hard Charger." "Once I got in lapped traffic, I could hear cars everywhere so I was not sure where they (his closest pursuers) were at," he told Drake York and the crowd after the race. "I was really thinking it was going to be on the top, but it just kept working on the bottom. I just kind of stuck to my guns there. It's not the funnest going around the bottom for 25 laps, but it is fun talking to you at the end of the night. I will take it. Again like last night, I have to thank Phil and Wyatt (Boczanowski). This car is a rocket ship. They are trying to sell it so I am trying to make it look good. I have to thank Seth (crew chief Seth Wilson), Nita (Nita Gatlin from SGR), Brent (Brent Sexton from SGR), and all the SGR people for putting up with me. Seth is a one-man team overlooking four cars. So, he is earning his money. Thank you to my wife and daughter at home and to my family." "Anything was better than last night," happy second-place finisher Albright said after the race. "We went 11th to second tonight. Hugged it around the bottom and this baby was hooked up. It was great. The track was a lot better tonight, Scott did an awesome job." "I did not think it was going to be this dry," third-place finisher Shane Sexton said afterward. "We probably could have went a little bit tighter. Hats off to my guys, Brian Fonseca, and my dad. They work their tails off throughout the night. We have had some success all around the country. We normally do not do the local stuff for Brian, but he called and asked if I wanted to drive it and I could not say no. Third place on the podium is not too bad." Other CLS and Southern California drivers in the main were Grant Sexton (6th), Cal Smith (9th), Dalton Sexton (10th), Coulston (14th), Mark Henry (15th) and Jeff Dyer (17th). Earlier in the night, Bender recorded the fastest lap in qualifying at 13.341. Dennett was second fastest at 13.428 and Rosamond's Henry was third quick at 13.479. Seavey captured the first heat race over the son and father combo of Grant and Brent Sexton. Coulston claimed the victory in heat two ahead of Dennett and Harlee Aguilera of Orangevale. Albright got to the checkers first in the final heat when he bested Boos and Dyer. The 2022 CLS banquet will take place at Frantone's Pizza & Spaghetti Villa in Cerritos on February 4th. Tickets for the banquet are $40.00. To order or for more information call (310) 367-9050 or email mailto:jon.robertson@sbcglobal.net ?subject=jon.robertson@sbcglobal.net.

- Harriett Chancellor named Forrest Lucas Lifetime Achievement Award winner at Lucas Oil Speedway postseason banquet
OSAGE BEACH, MO. (Nov. 19, 2022) - It was a night to pay tribute to the stars of the 2022 season while also recognizing a long-time major contributor to the regional racing scene during Saturday's Lucas Oil Speedway Championship Banquet at Margaritaville Lake Resort. Harriett Chancellor, co-owner of the Midwest Late Model Racing Association for 16 years, was named the sixth recipient of the Forrest Lucas Lifetime Achievement Award for contributions to the sport on and off the track. Meanwhile, track champions in the four Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series divisions and the top 10 in points in each class were featured during the banquet. Track champions recognized were Dillon McCowan (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds), Kris Jackson (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods), Larry Ferris (Hermitage Lumber Late Models) and Bryan White (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars). McCowan also was named Most Popular Driver, determined through fan voting, for the second straight time. Ryan Gillmore, runner-up in the B-Mod points, won Best Appearing Race Car as determined by the GS Stanek Racing Photography and speedway staff. "We're proud to recognize our track champions and top 10 in points, plus the individual award winners after another terrific season," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. "Congratulations to all who made it a great year and we look forward to seeing everyone in 2023." One of the highlights of the evening was the announcement of Chancellor, who along with her late husband Allen "Cowboy" Chancellor owned and operate the MLRA (Midwest Late Model Racing Association) from 1996-2012, as the Forrest Lucas Lifetime Achievement Award winner. Harriett and Allen met at the race track and purchased a Western Auto Racing parts van in the early 1980s and traveled to area tracks selling race-car parts, tires and fuel. They purchased the MLRA in 1996 and grew it into one of the nation's top regional dirt Late Model series with drivers such as Terry Phillips, Al Purkey, Bill Frye, Alan Vaughan and Billy Moyer becoming mainstays. The Chancellors were known for fairness across the board, with no favoritism and Harriett was not afraid to uphold the rules. Ernie Leftwich, who's now series director of the Lucas Oil MLRA, was a young official for the series at the time. He recalled when Frye tried to pass through tech with unapproved tires saying it was all he had available. Leftwich told Frye he would "have to take it up with the boss lady." Instead of letting it slide, Harriett sent him home as everyone was going to be treated the same. One of Harriett's biggest contributions was as a promoter and consultant to other tracks and even leasing tracks to give drivers and fans a place to enjoy the sport. Even in retirement, Harriett has remained active and not missed many nights at Lucas Oil Speedway, always willing to help in any way she can. Chancellor joins previous Forrest Lucas Lifetime Achievement Award winners Rex Merritt (2017), Jim Ruble (2018), Kevin Fletcher (2019), Kent Smith (2020) and Bill Allen (2021).

- BRENT MARKS CAPS OFF STELLAR SEASON WITH FINAL SHOWDOWN VICTORY
YORK HAVEN, Pa.: Like any other Sprint Car driver, Brent Marks wanted to end the season on a high note Saturday night at BAPS Motor Speedway. It's all about going into the offseason on a high note. And after the final checkered flew on the 410 Sprint Car season, Marks was on top ... again. Marks was the car to beat from the time he rolled out of the trailer. He got to the front before Danny Dietrich and held off his closest challenger in a five-lap sprint to capture the 30-Lap Engler Machine & Tool Final Showdown presented by FK Rod Ends main event and earn a $6,500 payday. "We had a great year," Marks said. "It's amazing what we've accomplished in the races that we've won, and to come back here and win the last race of the year, it just means a lot to me. "So, we ended last year off with a win and did it again this year. It's pretty cool. We had a really fast race car all night long, and I'm really happy with the way the track turned out with all the rain that we've had. So, this is amazing." Devon Borden started on the outside of the front row and surged ahead of Riley Emig in the second corner to grab the lead. Emig settled into second, with Marks, who started fourth, grabbing third. Marks started his assault on the front of the field on the second circuit. He stalked Emig and nipped him at the line by less than a half car-length to take second. One lap later, Dietrich also got by Emig to claim third. By the time the fifth circuit was scored, Borden had built a 1.582-second lead. Marks cut it down to .886 seconds on Lap 8 and was within .397 seconds two laps later. Marks took his shot on Lap 11, pulling a slider entering Turn 3. Borden crossed Marks over coming out of the fourth corner and continued to lead at the stripe by .272 seconds. While Borden remained around the top, Marks stayed pinned to the bottom. That paid off on Lap 14, when Marks blasted around the bottom of Turns 1 and 2 to get past Borden and take over the top spot. "The top half was so dirty," Marks said. "I knew if guys kept running up there, it would clean off, but I just felt comfortable down low and just wanted to stick with it. "I just felt like it was too dirty for anybody to pass up top, so we just kind of searched around a little bit and found what was best for me tonight. Everything just went smooth. We got quick time, won our heat race, and won the feature." The first caution of the event came out on Lap 20, when Emig spun between Turns 1 and 2. Dylan Norris was also involved. Borden tried the outside of Marks on the restart and got beside the leader in the first corner. Marks had the preferred line on the bottom and was able to maintain his lead at the stripe. Dietrich was also lurking in third. The Gettysburg, Pa., driver tried a flyer for second on Lap 22, but Borden crossed back under Dietrich coming out of Turn 4 to hold the spot at the line. As for Marks, he was gone. He opened up a two-second lead through traffic and was driving away when Emig stopped on the track to bring out the final caution on the 25th circuit. Marks pulled away on the restart, but Dietrich wasn't giving up easy. He ripped around the top of Borden in the second corner to take the runner-up spot and set sail after the leader with five laps remaining. The two drivers seemed to be pretty equal in clean air. Marks had the advantage being out front and claimed his 18th win of the season by .972 seconds at the finish. Dietrich, who has 14 wins this year, put together another good run to finish second. Freddie Rahmer, Lucas Wolfe, and Borden completed the top five. In the 358 Modified portion of the program, Mike Gular topped the field with an impressive run to capture the 30-Lap main event. Gular started third on the grid and got around second-place starter Kevin Beach on the opening lap. He chased early-leader Wade Hendrickson for the first eight laps before catching a caution on the ninth circuit. Jordan Watson stopped on the backstretch on Lap 10 with a flat tire. Gular used the restart to stay close to Hendrickson before taking the lead on the 13th circuit. From there, it was a fight to the finish. Doug Manmiller, who started fourth, harassed Gular but came up short at the finish by a mere .145 seconds. Louden Reimert stormed from 13th to third in the final rundown and clinched the Pennsylvania Tri-Track title. Jeff Strunk and Hendrickson completed the top five. BAPS Motor Speedway York Haven, Pa.

- Copeland Wins Sprint Car Showcase At Antioch Speedway
Antioch, CA...November 12...Colby Copeland of Roseville scored the victory in the 30 lap Winged 360 Sprint Car Main Event Saturday night at Antioch Speedway. The lone appearance for the division at the track this year was billed as the Sprint Car Showcase, and the track hopes to attract a big series race next season. Elverta's Justin Henry jumped into the early lead ahead of Copeland and Kaleb Montgomery of Templeton. The first of three red flags happened for a rollover in Turn 2 by Wayne Katen of San Jose. The race also had a flip by Kameron Souja of San Ramon in Turn 4 on Lap 15. Henry was leading Copeland at that point with Santa Rosa's Colby Johnson up to third. The leaders caught traffic by Lap 19, and Henry suffered a mishap in Turn 4 on Lap 21 as he flipped and lost a wheel. Fortunately, he was uninjured. Copeland inherited the lead over Colby Johnson and Montgomery. Johnson tried to challenge Copeland, but Copeland prevailed for the $2,500 victory. Montgomery ended up third ahead of Brad Bumgarner of Chico and Travis Labat of Livermore. Brandon Shaw of Escalon won The Nighthawk 30 for the Dwarf Car class. Nighthawk Defense Group sponsored the entire purse, and the NorCal Dwarf Car competitor Shaw pocketed $1,000 for the win. David Michael Rosa of Antioch sprinted into the lead at the start ahead of Shaw and David Rosa. Shaw tried a low pass in Turn 1 on Lap 3, only to watch Rosa go by on the inside in Turn 2. However, David Rosa spun on the back stretch and collected Zack Albers of Santa Rosa for a yellow flag moments later. David Michael Rosa continued to lead Shaw and Roberto Monroy of Antioch on the restart. Rosa and Shaw pulled away from the pack when David Rosa hit the frontstretch wall for a Lap 13 yellow flag. Again, David Michael Rosa charged ahead of Shaw and Monroy on the restart. Rosa and Shaw again had their lead battle about a straightaway ahead of Monroy and David Rosa. Contact in Turn 2 between Shaw and David Michael Rosa saw Shaw take the lead on Lap 26. Shaw sped home to the victory ahead of David Michael Rosa, Monroy, David Rosa and Justin Bingman of Castroville. After a week off, the final race of the season takes place on November 26th. In action will be the IMCA Modifieds, Sport Modifieds and Stock Cars along with the Pacific Coast General Engineering Hobby Stocks. For further information, go to www.antiochspeedway.com.

- Wilson Repeats As Hobby Stock Nationals Champion Antioch Speedway
Antioch, CA...November 5...Dylan Wilson of Bakersfield won the 50 lap Pacific Coast General Engineering Hobby Stock Main Event Saturday night at Antioch Speedway. This was the Second Annual Big Jim Pettit Hobby Stock Nationals, and Wilson again picked up $5,000 for his effort as he defended his race championship. Piloting the car normally driven by Bakersfield's Ricky Childress Jr, IMCA Sport Modified star Andrew Pearce of Oakley took the early lead ahead of Jared Baugh of Pittsburg. Pearce had won the preliminary feature a night earlier. Wilson moved into second on a Lap 2 restart with Baugh still holding on to third. They ran that way until the halfway point as Clarence Holbrook III of Galt and Chester Kniss of Antioch were in the Top 5. After a pit crew contest that awarded cash prizes to the top competitors, Pearce jumped into the lead on the restart ahead of Wilson and Holbrook. Wilson got a run on Pearce and took the lead on Lap 28. Holbrook had a good battle going for second with Pearce. He briefly gained the position on Lap 33 before losing it back to him a lap later. They ran that way until the final yellow flag on Lap 46. The restart did not help Pearce, who settled for the $2,500 second as Wilson was the $5,000 winner. Larry McKenzie Jr gained a $1,500 third on the final restart, followed by Holbrook and DJ Keldsen of Watsonville. Drivers had plenty of opportunity to make the big Hobby Stock show with the 10 lap heat races won by Bobby Motts Jr of San Pablo, Aidan Ponciano of Oakley, McKinzie and DJ Kelsen. Kevin Brown of Oakley won the first 20 lap B Main. He led most of it, lost the lead to Holbrook late in the race and regained it a lap later when Holbrook spun. Holbrook recovered in second ahead of James Graessle of Antioch. Grayson Baca of Brentwood rode the pole for the win in the second 20 lap B Main, followed by Rich Lindgren of Oroville and Lance Hurst of Madera. DJ Keldsen scored his first ever 15 lap Figure 8 Main Event win. He is the third generation of his family to win one of these races. The Keldsen family has been big in Figure 8 racing at Watsonville, Antioch and other Bay Area tracks through the years. Hobby Stock point runner-up Michaela Taylor of Oakley decided to run this race and took the early lead ahead of Wayne Reeder of Watsonville. Reeder made a low pass exiting Turn 2 to take the lead from Taylor on Lap 3 with DJ Keldsen following into second. A high pass in Turn 2 on Lap 5 put DJ Keldsen into the lead, and a yellow flag waved for Jimmy Robbins of Concord on Lap 5. DJ Keldsen led Dakota Keldsen of Watsonville on the restart. Angela Brown of Antioch ran third until being overtaken by Robbins on Lap 10. Dakota Keldsen kept it close, but DJ Keldsen prevailed at the checkered flag. Robbins settled for third ahead of Taylor and Brandon Carpenter of Galt. Racing resumes next Saturday night with the Winged 360 Sprint Cars making their only appearance of the season, joined by the Dwarf Cars. For further information, go to www.antiochspeedway.com.
