- SCORE ONE FOR WASHINGTON: STARKS OUTDUELS SCELZI TO CLAIM NARC DIRT CUP NIGHT TWO
(6/24/2022 - Alex Nieten) Burlington, WA... California might've claimed round one of the 50th Annual Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup, but Washington would not be denied as the bell rang for round two. Fireworks boomed above the backstretch, and the Northwest crowd roared as Puyallup, Washington's Trey Starks climbed atop his car in Skagit Speedway victory lane having emerged as Friday's winner of the second and final Dirt Cup preliminary with the NARC Fujitsu General Sprint Cars. It was a special night for the 26-year-old. While he's won dozens of races in his home region, Starks had never taken a Dirt Cup checkered flag in the finale or a prelim. It also marked his seventh win in 10 total races in 2022 and his second in three races with NARC this year. As a bonus, Starks got to battle his good friend, Dominic Scelzi, for the victory. "It was a really good race," Starks said. "I'm so happy to be back up on stage in front of the hometown crowd." Starks began the race outside the front row with Garen Linder on the pole. Starks ripped the outside in his T&C Concepts No. 55 to lead the opening circuit as Scelzi quickly jumped from sixth to third in the opening laps. A red flag flew with 36 to go as Tanner Holmes made contact with another car out of turn four, sending Holmes on a wild flip, his second nasty crash in as many days. Holmes walked away under his own power. On the restart Scelzi wasted no time clearing Linder with a slider to move into the runner-up spot and setting his sights on Starks. As the lead duo began to work through traffic 10 laps in Scelzi closed in. Scelzi threw his first slider attempt at Starks but couldn't clear him. Then, Scelzi regrouped and sent another slide job, making the pass this time and leading lap 15. Starks, though, rallied and returned the favor with his own successful slider to take the lead back. Starks began to build a small advantage over Scelzi, but with 19 to go the red flag flew again as Zeb Wise got above the cushion in turn three and climbed the fence before getting upside down. Wise was okay. On the ensuing restart Scelzi slid Starks in turn three, but Starks again answered, perfectly rolling the bottom in turns one and two to edge ahead of Scelzi. "I saw Dominic more than a few times," Starks said of their battle. "And we were able to combat every one of his moves." Starks took off after snagging the lead back from Scelzi. He found himself in heavy traffic as the race dipped inside 10 laps to go. Scelzi took a peak to his inside on multiple occasions in traffic but couldn't quite challenge him. A couple of late yellows bunched things up, but Starks pulled away each time and ultimately held on to win by just under eight tenths of a second. With how his points situation had been at the time the Fujitsu Feature started, Starks knew he needed to win to stay alive in Dirt Cup standings head into Saturday's $50,000 to win finale.. "I knew starting on the front row we were basically going to have to win to put us in any decent position for points tomorrow," Starks expiated "It was a hard fought race." Scelzi held on for second in his Red Rose Transportation/Whipple Superchargers No. 41, his 10th NARC podium of the year. Scelzi thought a longer green flag run might've allowed him a chance at the lead. "I would've liked to have seen traffic stay," Scelzi said. "I think in open air he (Starks) was probably better for the first four or five laps, and then I seemed to start coming back to him. The car was perfect tonight." Completing the podium was Shane Golobic in his NOS Energy Drink/Elk Grove Ford No. 17W. While he would've liked to win, Golobic stayed focused on the big picture. "Third is not exactly what we came for," Golobic said. "But in this format points are everything and we had a decent points night, going seventh to third. We'll take it." The remainder of the top-10 included Corey Day, Tyler Courtney (from 20th), Tim Kaeding, Jason Solwold (from 17th), Justin Sanders (from 16th), Greg Hamilton, and Jesse Schlotfeldt. Tyler Courtney is the high point man heading into Saturday's finale and will be guaranteed a front row starting spot in the 50-lap main event. *The Feature was shortened by three laps due to tire wear concerns.

- EDDIE TAFOYA JR. ROLLS INTO PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY SATURDAY
(Chino, CA, June 22, 2022) Fresh off his first-ever Woodland's Auto Display Fast Time Award and a fifth-place finish in the USAC/CRA main event at the Ventura Raceway two weeks ago, Eddie Tafoya Jr. returns to action this Saturday night, June 25th, in the Bubby Jones/Ray Scheetz Memorial at Perris Auto Speedway. The race will be the 4th of the year for the Chino Hills, California resident at the track that is located closest to his home. 287664550_5446555092062594_6681139457352278262_n.jpg Eddie Tafoya Jr. enters Saturday's race at Perris fourth in USAC/CRA points. Tafoya photo. Tafoya enters Saturday's race fourth in points with eight top 10 finishes in the first 11 USAC/CRA events in 2022. Among those top 10s are four top fives, but none of them have come at the track that is only 36 miles from his front door. His best two finishes on the famous Riverside County half-mile clay oval this year have been a pair of eighths. He recorded those on April 30th at the Sokola Shootout and the Salute To Indy on May 28th. He hopes to better those results on Saturday. His other 2022 outing at The PAS came on March 26th when he violently flipped in turn one after being hit by another driver. Tafoya climbed out of his car uninjured but the #51T was destroyed. Tafoya's fifth place at Ventura came on a tough track that was one lane on the bottom in the main event. He was never far from the top four cars, but passing was at a premium. Most drivers who attempted to pass on the outside quickly found out that they needed to get back in line or risk losing positions. Aware of that, "Mr. Smooth" stayed close to the pole and earned that fifth-place finish. The great news for Tafoya and racers around California is the fact that after being shut down for nearly a year, the Santa Maria Raceway is going to reopen on August 6th. The track, which opened in 1964, has been a regular stop for the USAC/CRA Series since its inception in 2004. Last year the series appeared there on July 3rd and Tafoya placed sixth in the main event. For fans who would like to see Tafoya in person at Saturday's Bubby Jones/Ray Scheetz Memorial, spectator gates will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing starting at 7:00. Adult tickets are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. Kids 6-12 are $5.00 and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charges $10.00 for parking. Perris Auto Speedway is located on the freeway close Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in The City of Perris (92571). Take the 215 Freeway, exit at the Ramona Expressway, and go three miles east to the fairgrounds. The track website is http://www.perrisautospeedway.com/. The office phone number is (951) 940-0134. Tafoya and the #51T team would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, DRC Chassis, Ryder Racing Engines, Simpson Safety Products, Bell, Benic Enterprises, BR Motorsports, PSC Powder Coating, Magik Graphics, Gasper Transportation, Owen's Insurance Services, and Weld Wheels for making the 2022 season possible.

- Late Race Move Sees DJ Johnson Win with Hunt Series at Marysville Raceway
During the Hunt Series' lone visit to Marysville Raceway of the season this past Saturday night, 25 drivers made it a memorable appearance as DJ Johnson made a late pass to pick up his first series win of the season.
- Jinkerson Prevails At Antioch Speedway, Newton, DeCarlo, Wagner, Aguilera Other Winners
Antioch, CA...June 18...Dan Jinkerson won the 20 lap Xtreme Scaffolding Limited Late Modified Main Event Saturday night at Antioch Speedway. Jinkerson made a move on Ray Trimble for the lead with two laps to go and went on to victory from there. It was the second win in the series for Jinkerson, who currently leads the Placerville Speedway point standings. With a front row start, previous winner Anthony Slaney took the early lead ahead of Trimble. Slaney held a straightaway advantage by the sixth lap. As he was lapping a slower car in Turn 2 on Lap 10, Slaney made contact with that car. They spun for a yellow flag, and Slaney was put to the rear of the pack for his part in the incident. This gave the lead to Trimble ahead of Jinkerson and Dan Brown Jr. Jinkerson began pressuring Trimble for the lead until making an inside pass in Turn 3 on Lap 18. A lap later, Trimble ended up spinning while attempting to lap a slower car, and Jinkerson went on to victory ahead of Brown, Micheli, Fred Ryland and Trimble. Shannon Newton picked up his second 25 lap Wingless Spec Sprint Main Event win of the season. Dylan Newberry had a front row start and motored into the early lead ahead of Newton and Rick Panfili. Panfili retired with a broken rear end on Lap 18, and third place Roy Fisher was put down a lap at that point. Newberry took the checkered flag ahead of Shannon Newton, but he came up light at the scales. Fisher was also disqualified for being too light, giving the win to Shannon Newton ahead of Tony Bernard, MacKenzie Newton, Steve Maionchi and Panfili Danny Wagner won the 20 lap Delta Dwarf Car Main Event. This was the fourth win of the season for the Antioch Speedway point leader, and he also picked up the win at Watsonville a night earlier. After a complete restart, David Rosa took the early lead ahead of Austin Struthers and Travis Day. However, Wagner settled into third on Lap 3 and made an inside pass in Turn 3 on Lap 4 to take the lead from Rosa. Wagner proceeded to build a straightaway advantage over Rosa by the 10th circuit as Day started challenging Rosa for second. Day took second from Rosa in traffic on Lap 17, and Wagner beat Day back to the checkered Flag by half a lap. Rosa settled for third. Ellie Russo and Struthers took the checkered flag in fourh and fifth, respectively. However, both drivers passed by the tech area to cause their disqualification. Charlie Correia ended up fourth ahead of Joe LeDuc. IMCA Modified point leader Nick DeCarlo won the 15 lap Super Stock Main Event aboard the Michael Burch owned car. Mike Walko led the opening lap before DeCarlo went low and took the lead. A yellow flag waved moments later, and point later Jim Freethy settled into second behind DeCarlo on the restart. However, Freethy was no match for DeCarlo, who prevailed by half a lap. Walko settled for third ahead of Joey Ridgeway Jr and Fred Ryland. Harlee Aguilera won the 20 lap BCRA Lightning Sprint Main Event. Aguilera led from the outset ahead of Brandon Leedy and Greg Dennett. Dennett made an outside pass on the backstretch on Lap 4 to take second from Leedy. Dennett started challenging Aguilera a few laps later and made a low pass in Turn 2 on Lap 10 to snag the lead. However, Dennett slowed moments later for a yellow flag. Aguilera led Leedy at that point, but Leedy surrendered second to point leader Matt Land in Turn 3 on Lap 12. Aguilera led the rest of the way to win ahead of Land, Peter Paulson, Rick Holbrook and Leedy. Next Saturday night will see the Motorcycles return for the first of two appearances this year.

- JEFF DYER AND SON SETH COMPETE IN THE SAME RACE FOR THE FIRST TIME
(Yucca Valley, CA, June 19, 2022) In what was a tremendous thrill for both, veteran racer Jeff Dyer and his son Seth raced together for the first time on June 11th when the California Lightning Sprint Car Series visited the Bakersfield Speedway. They are going to do it again this Saturday, June 25th, when the CLS heads to Jim Naylor's Ventura Raceway. 287105021_8009580089059686_5856648418451193378_n (1).jpg Jeff Dyer second from right and his son Seth is on the right. Fellow CLS driver Trevor Ballou and Jeff's stepdaughter Abbey Wall are to the left. Dyer photo. To start things off on the memory-making night, the Dyer's bookended the qualifying with Jeff turning in the fastest time of the night at 13.326 on "The West's Fastest 1/3 Mile High Banked Clay Oval." Seth's first effort produced a 14.850. Not long thereafter Jeff came across the line second in the first heat race. In his first lightning sprint race, Seth, who has raced Speedway Sprints at Wheel2Wheel Raceway in Victorville, placed sixth in heat #2. For the 25-lap main event, proud dad Jeff was starting on the outside of the third row and Seth was outside row six in 12th. Jeff had worked his way up to fifth when a red flag came out on lap six. Unfortunately, Seth and another driver tangled and the other car flipped onto its side. Neither was injured but the same could not be said for their cars. They were both damaged and done for the night. On the first lap when the race resumed, Dyer turned in the move of the night. In turn four, he swept wide around the fourth-place driver and then darted to the inside to pass the third-place car at the start/finish line much to the delight of the appreciative crowd. Not to be deterred by Dyer's thrilling move, the two cars he passed pulled alongside him coming off turn four one lap later. The speeding trio flew down the front straight and into turn one, three abreast. Dyer, who was on the top side, fended his pursuers off and continued on in third. Dyer held the third position until he was passed late in the race. He took the checkers in fourth. That gave him an amazing seven top four (four second-place finishes, one-third, and two fourths) finishes in seven CLS starts this year To put the icing on the cake, Saturday's performance catapulted Dyer into the point lead in the CLS championship standings. "It was like a dream come true," the proud dad told Dave Stall on last Sunday's Racer Radio Show. "It was pretty nerve-wracking. I guess it kind of hit me on our silent drive there. I really don't care if I get hurt but throwing your kid out there is a bit different." "We had separate hot lap sessions which was kind of good and we were in separate heat races," Dyer continued. "The main event was kind of different because I was starting up front and he was starting in the back. I knew we would probably catch him in 10 laps to lap him but he did not get to make it that far. But I was definitely looking ahead to make sure he was OK." This Saturday night, June 25th, the Yucca Valley, California father and son racing duo will be back in action at the Ventura Raceway. Jeff will be driving his familiar #4. Seth will be shoeing the same Pat Kelley-owned car he drove at Bakersfield. Jeff comes into the event with a 15-point lead in the championship standings. However, he cannot rest on his laurels as only 60 points separate first to fourth. For fans who would like to watch Jeff and Seth Dyer in person on Saturday, spectator gates at Ventura will open at 3:00 p.m. and the first race will be at 5:30. Adult tickets are $18.00. Seniors 60 and over, military with id, and students with id get in for $15.00. Children 12 and under are free when accompanied by a paid adult. The track is located on the Ventura County Fairgrounds at 10 W. Harbor Boulevard (93001). The track website is http://venturaraceway.com/ and the office phone number is (805) 648-RACE. For those who would like to listen to a replay of Jeff and Seth on "The Racer Radio Show," please click on the following link http://www.perrisautospeedway.com/radio22/RACERRADIO220612.mp3. They come on halfway through the show. Jeff Dyer is racing in memory of his grandfather Glenn Sels throughout the 2022 season. Dyer would like to thank the following for making the 2022 season possible in the #4 Lightning Sprint Car. Dependable Machine Inc., Haircuts By Susie, Jobu Racing, LBA Investigations, and Dyer Motorsports.

- FLOWDYNAMICS DRIVERS FINISH 10TH AND 16TH AT THE VENTURA RACEWAY
(Ontario, CA, June 17, 2022) The Flowdynamics racing team made the journey to the Ventura Raceway last Saturday night for round #11 of the 2022 USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series. The team entered the night with Logan Williams fifth in the championship standings and Matt McCarthy ninth. When they began the journey home after the race, they were in the same spots. PAS 3-26-22=28m 5w=1085-3.jpg Flowdynamics drivers Matt McCarthy in the #28M and Logan Williams in the #5W. Doug Allen Photo. Twenty-four cars showed up for the race at the picturesque track that is located at the beach at Ventura. The first order of business on the night was qualifying and McCarthy fired off another good one when he timed in fifth fastest with a lap of 13.032. Williams, who was coming off a sixth-place finish at Perris two weeks earlier in the Salute To Indy, was 14th quickest at 13.566. The two Flowdynamics teammates were matched up in the second heat race of the night. Williams finished fourth in the 10-lapper and McCarthy was right behind him in fifth. As the 24 cars came onto the track for the 30-lap main event, the fog began to roll in at the same time. McCarthy, who lives in Riverside CA, had the best starting spot of the two team drivers as he was coming from the 8th position. Yorba Linda, California's Williams was three rows behind his teammate in 14th. When the race started it became evident that passing was going to be at a premium. There was one line at the bottom and straying from that made drivers extremely vulnerable to getting passed from behind. McCarthy advanced his rank one spot to seventh early in the race, but he slid to a stop a few laps later after being part of a three-car chain reaction skirmish. He had to restart at the back in the 23rd position. While the track was hard to pass on, Williams managed to advance his position four spots to come home 10th. After his sojourn to the back and the 23rd spot, McCarthy went forward seven spots to finish 16th. Flowdynamics Racing gets this weekend off before returning to Perris Auto Speedway for the inaugural Bubby Jones/Ray Scheetz Memorial on June 25th. That race will be followed by a trip to the Central Valley for races July 8th and 9th at Keller Auto Speedway in Hanford and the Stone Chevrolet GMC Buick Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare. McCarthy and Williams would like to thank the following sponsors for making the 2021 season possible. Flowdynamics Inc., JFK Design Build, Cal Therm Mechanical Insulators, CRC Component Repair Co., Encore Gas and Supply, Drink-Pac, and Benic Enterprises.

- Phil Vigneri Supreme in DIRTcar Sportsman Tour Race at Genesee Jeremy Wonderling Gets Win #3, as does James Gayton, who Claims Mackenzie Kulesza Memorial
Rich Vleck, BATAVIA, NY, (June 16, 2022)- When the 2022 schedule came out, Phil Vigneri III was quick to circle Thursday's event at Genesee Speedway, as the DIRTcar Sportsman Tour invaded his hometown track and allowed him the chance to defend his turf in a special event. With heavy storms in the region staying away from Batavia, the special Thursday Night event at Genesee Speedway ran off without issue to "Light Up the Night for Kenzie". That was good news for Vigneri, who hit the track for the feature with a strong car and proved it over the course of 35 laps. Vigneri, of Elba, led wire-to-wire for his second win of the season at Genesee. The driver of the Ray Smith-owned No. 12v drew the pole position and selected the outside line for the start, which proved to be the right choice as he jumped out in front of the pack with ease. The caution flag would appear after two laps, but that would be the only caution of the race, which would mean plenty of lapped traffic for Vigneri, which were his toughest hurdles he needed to clear to park in Victory Lane. As "PV3" approached the back of the pack, he carried a lead of nearly three seconds over teenager Ryan Barrett. That lead would erode once setting up passes on lapped cars, especially when Vigneri attempted to move by Brad Rouse, a two-time winner at Genesee in 2019. "Honestly that lapped traffic was a good thing for me," said Vigneri after the race. "I was having a tough time getting around guys and figured if it was that hard for me to pass lapped cars, the guys behind me were going to have an even tougher time taking the lead away." After laps of driving underneath Rouse, Vigneri was finally able to put him in the rearview mirror. A pass a few laps later around the outside of defending Novice Sportsman Champion Jake Bansmer would appear to give him the breathing room he needed, but before he could get to the checkered flag, one more issue would present itself. "With a couple laps left my power steering went," said Vigneri. "If a caution would have come out I'm not sure how it would have finished." Vigneri was not the only driver grinning from ear-to-ear on the front stretch after the 35-lap event; Ryan Barrett was able to log the best run of his career, finishing second for his first career top-five on a night when a host of invaders travelled to Batavia. Barrett was able to run a steady line to keep two-time winner Jim Harbison at bay, as Harbison would finish third stoked for Barrett. Canadian Billy Bleich would run a solid fourth while defending track champion Cameron Tuttle rounded out the top five. Over the years, Jeremy Wonderling has earned the moniker "Mr. Excitement", but in the Late Model Feature, he left the excitement for second place on back. Wonderling, of Wellsville, dominated the 25-lap event for his third win of the year at Genesee. Wonderling out ran Jimmy Johnson from the outside pole the used a high line to stay out in front almost effortlessly. After struggling the first portion of the season, Wonderling has hit his stride with wins in two of the last three races. As he cruised to the win, a good battle waged for second between a pair of past champions, with Jimmy Johnson holding off JJ Mazur. Paul Grigsby and Doug Ricotta rounded out the top five. It was one of the biggest nights of the year for the Mini Stocks as it was the 25-lap event for Mackenzie Kulesza and it was James Gayton, the driver who put her name in vinyl along the side of his newly-redesigned blue No. 10, who dominated the show and parked the tribute car in Victory Lane. Gayton was within a foot of winning Mackenzie's birthday event last year and wanted redemption in the worst way. He was dominant force throughout the 25-lap event, with a lead as large as five seconds over the course of the race. Gayton's fist was pumping out of his window as he crossed the line. Behind the leader was an intense battle for second, with Cole Susice outdueling Olivia Coniber for the runner-up spot. Chris Leone would finish fourth while Tony Kulesza, Mackenzie's Father who was driving point leader Bill Weller's Jr. car, was able to round out the top five. The Pro Mod division made a special appearance with the support of Close Racing Supply and put on a special show and did not disappoint. The moment of the race came on lap 10 when Dennis Lunger made a wild three-wide maneuver around the outside of Zain Harvey and leader Tyler Oakes to get in front and run off to win the 20-lap event. Early in the race, Lunger was trying to take the lead from Oakes on the bottom but when Zain Harvey rain the top duo down, Lunger moved his No. 71L to the top and made a bold move to get in front of the pack. As Lunger drove off to the $1,000 top prize, double-duty driver Steve Dixon drove up to finish second while Adam Ashcroft, the winner at Genesee in 2021 was third. Oakes and Harvey would round out the top five. The Street Stock Feature saw Bill Taylor and Rich Conte, the top two in points, duel for the top spot for much of the 20-lap feature, but on lap 19, those two came together in turns 3 and 4 and both were forced to go to the back of the pack; that was just the break that Dennis Cummings needed to return to Victory Lane. Cummings, of Wellsville, led the final two circuits to score his first win at the Genesee since 2020. The 2018 Track Champion stated on social media earlier in the week that the new $100 bump in the winner's purse was irrelevant to him, but he proved that wrong as he parked it on the front stretch after holding off Mike Kelly down the stretch. Kelly's runner-up finish was his second such result of the year. Tommy Kemp and Byron Dewitt battled hard to the line for third, with Kemp getting the best of battle for third. Dale Rissinger rounded out the top five. The Novice Sportsman ran a feature-only format on the night, which worked out just fine or Greenley George, who drove to the front to earn her third feature win of the year. George, of Wilson, took the lead on lap seven from Dave Mamo and never looked back to cruise to the victory. Before she took the lead George had a scary moment on lap five when she got turned sideways on a restart when a car collided with her No. 26 and had her parked on the track. George looked like her newly-wrapped car would get t-boned by Bailey Logsdon, but Logsdon was able to avoid major contact and just clip the parked car. After that near disaster, George was on a mission and would drive off to her third win in four starts at Genesee this year. Canadian Zach Bleich would jump in to the No. 108 and would drive up to finsh second while Mamo would round out the top three. Bryson Hill made his third start at Genesee just as successful as his prior two appearances, as the youngster claimed his third Bandit Feature win of the year. Hill led all 10 laps but had a late challenge from division point leader Seth Johnson, who started seventh but quickly ran up to second and then chased down Hill's No. 38. A caution with two laps remaining allowed Hill to reset, change his line and drive off while Johnson would have to settle for his second-straight runner-up spot. Racelyn Lippa crossed in third for her first podium finish. Racing at Genesee Speedway is now over for the month of June, with the next event not until Saturday, July 2 when all six divisions return to the 1/3-mile for a "Red, White and Blue" Special event, featuring an incredible fireworks display! Also on the card will be the 30-lap Brian Ace Memorial, Kid's Night Out and much more. For more information, visit www.Genesee-Speedway.com.

- Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Young Beck proves a quick study in USRA Stock Cars
WHEATLAND, MO. (June 16, 2022) - Recent Skyline-Urbana High School graduate Mason Beck understands why a lot of kids grow up with a goal of driving dirt Late Models or aspiring for the highest level of NASCAR. But the 19-year-old Beck said he is living out his dreams each weekend, behind the wheel of his USRA Stock Car. "My goal was always to get into a Super Stock or Stock Car," Beck said. "I like this full-body class, it's real competitive, close. Everybody is real clean driving and it's fun." Beck is shining as a rookie in the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars division at Lucas Oil Speedway, leading the points race entering Saturday night's Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series Midseason Championships. With a feature victory this season at Midway Speedway, Beck has yet to win at Lucas Oil Speedway but has been a mark of consistency. With finishes of second, third, sixth and seventh in the rapidly growing division, he has a 16-point lead over Lebanon's Bryan White. Beck also is third in USRA Stock Cars national rookie of the year standings. It's all been a bit of a pleasant surprise for the young driver, who campaigned a Pure Stock in 2021. "Overall, the season has gone a lot better than I expected," Beck said. "With this being my first year in a Stock Car we didn't think we'd be this successful this far along. Everything's gone pretty smooth so far." Perhaps an omen of good things to come, Beck found victory lane at Lucas Oil Speedway last summer in a special guest appearance for the Pure Stock division. He said that win "was a huge deal for me. My dad (Phillip Beck) won the Wheatland Raceway points championship back in 2001 in that same car and 20 years later, to go back in that same car and win, it was kind of a big deal for him." Phillip Beck was a regular at the Wheatland Raceway in the years before it became Lucas Oil Speedway. How that particular car found its way back to victory lane there - or made it back to the track at all - is pretty amazing. When he turned 15, Mason kept bugging his dad about getting a Pure Stock to go racing. He said they found Phillip's old car out in the woods near the family's home and had to cut down several trees to retrieve the vehicle. "The frame and roll cage was all it was. Basically had to build it from the ground up," Mason Beck said. "We got it down when I turned 16 and started racing at Dallas County and when they had special Pure Stock specials at Lucas. We went to Midway and that's how we got started from there." Mason said his dad and his uncle Jerry Glor shared the car back in the day, with Glor racing it on Friday nights at Dallas County and Phillip on Saturday at Wheatland. Now his dad is serving as his mechanic and crew chief. The move from Pure Stocks into the Stock Car division began near the end of last season when Mason got to test a Stock Car for someone looking for a prospective driver. And that's how he has wound up driving the current car for Ethan Mackey. "They may not be the fastest or most-desirable car to drive," Beck said of the Stock Car class, which attracted a season-high 29 entries to Lucas Oil Speedway last week. "But with the rules and everything, they are the most-even, closest racing that you're going to get." Beck, who played football and basketball in high school, said he's still learning as he seeks his first feature win in the car at Lucas Oil Speedway. "We went to Midway and it was our third or fourth race and we won there," he said. "We've been close at Urbana, Butler and Lucas, we just haven't got the car completely figured out. I'm still getting seat time and learning what it will do in certain situations." Beck said fellow Stock Car drivers Derek and Tim Brown have been instrumental with helpful advice. Team sponsors include Triad Roofing, Connight Construction, Big O's Equipment, United Rentals, L.W. Williams Concrete, Boley's Construction, PDA Enterprises, Urbana Stockyards, Fisher Farms, Mid Mo Splicing, McCowan Farms, Urbana Automotive, Mill Creek Munitions, The Cutting Edge and Double B Cattle Company.

- Arriaga Wins Sonny Calkins Memorial At Antioch Speedway
Antioch, CA...June 11...Shawn Ariana won the 33 lap Wingless Spec Sprint Main Event Saturday night at Antioch Speedway. This was the Sonny Calkins Memorial and it paid $2,500 to the past Winged 360 Sprint Car champion. It was also the biggest win of Arriaga's career, and it came aboard the Dave Johnson owned entry. Jacob Tuttle took the early lead ahead of Arriaga. Daniel Whitley was an early third. It became a close four-car battle up front as DJ Johnson ran in fourth during the first half of the race. A low pass in Turn 2 of the 10th lap gained Arriaga the lead with Whitley moving into second. A low pass in Turn 4 on Lap 15 regained Arriaga the lead, and a yellow flag on Lap 17 saw the end of a Top 5 run for Bob Newberry. Johnson moved into third on Lap 18 and slipped past Whitley for second on Lap 19. Tuttle followed Johnson into the third position. At that point, Arriaga hit cruise control and led the rest of the way by about half a straightaway over Johnson, who settled for second. Tuttle ended up third, followed by Whitley and Dylan Newberry. Grayson Baca won his first 20 lap Pacific Coast General Engineering Hobby Stock Main Event. Chad Ragsdale spun in front of the pack in Turn 3 to cause a complete restart. Baca led the pack to the next green flag with Chris Long in second. During the early stages, Baca pulled away, leaving Long and Brad Coelho to fight fiercely for second. Baca caught slower traffic by Lap 9, but he always seemed to make the right moves to keep a straightaway advantage over Long. Michaela Taylor spun in Turn 3 for a Lap 14 yellow flag. Baca led Long and Coelho on the restart. One more yellow flag on Lap 17 did nothing to slow Baca, but this time Long presented a bit of a challenge. Baca still kept his cool under pressure and held off Long for the win. Coelho settled for third, followed by Jared Baugh and point leader Misty Welborn. Blake Bower won the 20 lap WMR Midget Main Event. This was the second win of the weekend for him and his fifth win this season. He is the reigning series champion as well as the reigning USAC Western States Midgets champion. Bryant Bell took the early lead over Shawn Arriaga. Bower made it a close three-car battle in the early going. Bower slipped past Arriaga on Lap 4 and made a Turn 4 pass on Lap 12 to take the lead from Bell. Bower built about a half-straightaway advantage over Bell in victory. Arriaga settled for third, followed by Cory Brown and Todd Hawse. Tom Brown won his second 15 lap Mini Stock Main Event. Brown was actually caught up in an early race tangle before a lap was completed, but he was already second behind Dana Gardner when the first official lap was scored. When Gardner spun in Turn 3 on Lap 2, Brown gained the lead over Eddie Humphrey III. The lead duo ran that way to the checkered flag with Brown winning by nearly a straightaway. Ryan Graham had third on a Lap 11 restart, but he surrendered the position to Don Abitz on Lap 14. Graham settled for fourth ahead of David Carson. Racing resumes next Saturday night with the Xtreme Scaffolding Limited Late Model Series back in action along with the Wingless Spec Sprints, Delta Dwarf Cars and BCRA Lightning Sprints.

- Zeb Wise leads all 30 at Fremont to win round three of Cometic Gasket Ohio Sprint Speedweek presented by Hercules Tires
FREMONT, Ohio (June 12, 2022) - For the second time in just five Series starts, Angola, Indiana's Zeb Wise is a Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 main event winner, doing so during night three of Cometic Gasket Ohio Sprint Speedweek presented by Hercules Tires at Fremont Speedway. Wise, earning $6,000 for his Chuck and Shirley Kear Classic triumph, started from the outside-pole position and never looked back, eventually leading all 30 circuits around "The Track That Action Built" while outrunning current Speedweek points leader, Cap Henry. "Since joining the All Stars, this is a track that's always treated me really well. It feels good to be up here standing in front of all of these great fans...there are so many people here," Zeb Wise explained, driver of the Wise-Priddy Racing/Sundollar Restoration/QuikPits/No. 10 sprint car. "My car was so good tonight. Hats off to everyone back there in the pit area...Wayne, Derrick, Connor, Dad...they worked their butts off." The main event's lone caution on lap seven, a red flag situation for Kyle Reinhardt who was third at the time of his easy tip over, resulted in Zeb's only momentum break, which, inevitably, led to a long stretch of traffic that lasted the entire back half of the 30-lap contest. Despite his run in with slower cars, Zeb's preferred line around the top of the speedway kept his nose clean, sealing the deal in the final five circuits by keeping a pair of lappers between himself and Henry. Including Fremont, Wise is now a four-time All Star winner over the course of his young career, two of which accomplished right down the road at Attica Raceway Park. "I'm not sure how close Henry was there at the end. Traffic got pretty wild and I couldn't go where I wanted," Wise continued. "Lucky for me, my car was good enough that I could go wherever I wanted. I wasn't sure I had the car to win, and I was a little worried there after the dash. I thought the '4' car was the car to beat, but we were able to come out on top." In traditional back-to-back fashion, Ohio Sprint Speedweek will move east and invade Wayne County Speedway and Sharon Speedway on Monday and Tuesday, June 13-14, respectively. The northeast Ohio venues, each awarding $6,000 during Speedweek action, hosted All Star competition on one occasion already in 2022. "Hunter Percent" Hunter Schuerenberg was the victor at Wayne County with Lane Racing's Cap Henry stealing the show at Sharon, utilizing a last corner pass to secure the Buckeye Cup title over Myerstown, Pennsylvania's Brent Marks.

- Filling the Boot at Red Cedar Speedway
Menomonie, Wisconsin, on June 10, 2022, the Red Cedar Speedway presented the MDA Fill the Boot Night by the Menomonie Fire Department, sponsored by Keyes Chevytown and Mars Race Cars. The WISSOTA Late Models, Modifieds, Super Stocks, Street Stocks, Midwest Modifieds, and the RCS Hornets were all in attendance. Features were won by Mark Hessler, Ashley Anderson, Jesse Redetzke, Jesse Bryan, Andrew Hanson, and Roy Cooper. The T L Sinz Plumbing, Inc WISSOTA Late Model heats were topped by Buddy Hanestad and Pat Doar. At feature time the front runners raced three-wide at the green as Aaron Wilson came out on the point. Mark Hessler moved to second and Greg Nippoldt raced in third. Nippoldt was able to move to second and then track down the lead. A fire in the Larry Fitzsimmons 73 ride caused a hectic moment and drew the yellow flag. He was reported to be unhurt, but it ended his evening. On the restart, it was Nippoldt up front as Pat Doar ran in second, Hessler dropped to third, and Buddy Hanestad had closed to battled for a top three position. Doar drove in deep in turn three and tried to pass Nippoldt but couldn't clear him and Hessler was able to get by into second. As laps ran off, a caution flag flew and packed everyone together one last time. Hessler used the highline and swept into the lead on the restart. He wasted no time on his way to the checkered flag as he built up and advantage at the line. Nippoldt finished his fine run in second as Doar finished third. Todd Frank was able to wrestle fourth away from Hanestad late in the race. Ashley Anderson swept the Southworth Chevrolet, Buick, GMC WISSOTA Modified heat and feature and this week he didn't have to use and exciting last lap pass to get it done. Initially it was Adam Ayotte in the lead as Anderson and Shane Halopka raced low and high beside each other for second. Halopka jumped the very high cushion in turn two and maybe showed the crowd one of the best saves they will see all season. Anderson took over second, but Halopka was still looming in third. Anderson caught the leader and worked the low side to pull even and then inch his way to the lead. A caution flag slowed the pace, and on the restart, it was Anderson leading the way to the win as Ayotte remained strong in second. Halopka came home in third over Cory Williams and Danny Thomas in fifth. It was Dan Nissalke and Brandon Clemens winning the Union Trailer Power Equipment WISSOTA Super Stock heats and Clemens looked stout in the front of the feature. Unfortunately, it appeared as the leader may have run over his nose or possibly lost power briefly coming off of turn two and it caused a chain reaction stack up. The fast leader was called with the caution and Nissalke inherited the point. On the restart, it was strange to see the wall tickling Jesse Redetzke running ultra-low, but he used the line to pull even with the leader and the two raced door to door for two laps. Redetzke moved to the lead and stayed down low as Nissalke tried to stay in his shadow. They finished one two while last week's winner, Ben Hillman used his familiar high groove to race from seventh to third. The 20s of Andrew and Cory Davis rounded out the top five. Nick Ayotte and Shane Howell topped the Tim's Automotive Machine WISSOTA Midwest Modified heats and the feature was won by Jesse Bryan. It took three tries to get the feature started as the first caution caused significant damage to Josh Wahlstrom's number 19. On the third attempt, the pole sitter, Will Moelter grabbed the lead as Bryan moved not second. Travis Anderson was able to take the runner up position from Bryan as he set chase on the leader. Kennedy Swan broke down as Moelter was working lap seven and the caution flag flew. On the restart, it was Bryan moving side by side with the leader and then working his way into first. Anderson got past Moelter and tried in vain to track down Bryan who drove the remaining laps out front to the checkered flag. Anderson finished a strong second as Ayotte took third from Moelter with two laps remaining. Moelter scored his first top five, finishing fourth, and 13th starting Jay Richardson, finished in fifth as he was closing on the lead pack fast late in the going. The Conrad's Auto Salvage, Inc. WISSOTA Street Stocks saw Kyle Genett win the single heat and Andrew Hanson win the feature from the outside of the front row. It was Genett early and looking as if he was possible on his way to yet another feature win in Menomonie, although Hanson was able to poke his nose under him coming out of turn two for several laps. Genett blew a tire going into turn three, Hanson took over the point, and raced to the win. Braden Brauer drove home in second over Jeff Nowak and Kolton Brauer. It was Brian Schott in the Value Implement RCS Hornet heat from the dead last tenth position, and Schott again to the lead on lap four of the feature after starting fifth. He dominated the event, but it was all for naught, as he was disqualified in the tech area after the race. Roy Cooper was awarded the win after having raced his way from fourth and Scott Cooper finished second. Preston Coombs, Venessa Seipel, and Alanna Karis rounded out the top five. The Red Cedar Speedway takes June 17th off and returns to racing on June 24, 2022, with the Curd Buster 25, Dunn County Farm Bureau and Dairy Promotion Board sponsoring the racing action. The WISSOTA Late Models, Modifieds, Super Stocks, Street Stocks, Midwest Modifieds, and the RCS Hornets will all be in attendance.

- Jake Neuman Charges from 23rd to Win at Angell Park
Jake Neuman won the Badger Midget Auto Racing Association feature Sunday at Angell Park Speedway in spectacular fashion charging from the back of the field to pass Matt Recheck down the backstretch for the victory.
- From 14th to 1st, McCowan rallies to USRA Modified feature win in Lucas Oil Speedway headliner
WHEATLAND, MO. (June 11, 2022) - Some wins are more exciting than others and Dillon McCowan enjoyed one of his most thrilling feature victories so far at Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday night. McCowan drove from a 14th-starting position all the way to the front to capture the $1,000 Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature victory to headline the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series program. McCowan, of Urbana, beat Nick Bidinger by a car length for his fifth feature victory of the season and further expand his points lead in defense of his track championship. Other feature winners on $5 Night at the Races Presented by KOLR were Johnny Fennewald (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars), Cole Henson (Hermitage Lumber Late Models) and Shadren Turner (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods). The 18-year-old McCowan had an unusually poor seventh-place run in his heat race to leave him seemingly buried deep in the field as the 25-lap feature went green. "I want to say a special shout-out to my grandpa. He's not been here in a while and this is one of the more special ones because he got to be here and we came from the back," McCowan said. Bidinger sprinted away from his pole-starting position to the lead and he had opened up a 2.9-second lead by lap seven over Dustin Hodges when the race's first caution appeared. Meanwhile, McCowan continued his charge through the field as the race returned to green as he moved into third by lap 10 behind Bidinger and Hodges. McCowan passed Hodges on lap 15 and set his sights on the leader, whom he still trailed by 1.7 seconds with 10 laps remaining. Continuing to use the high groove, McCowan closed to the back bumper of Bidinger on lap 21 as the duo entered lapped traffic. He split the two slower cars to take the lead coming to the start-finish line to complete lap 23. Bidinger made a last-lap bid, but McCowan took the checkers by navigating one more lapped car coming out of turn four. "It was definitely hectic," McCowan said of the win. "It got intense there when we hit lapped traffic and I didn't know if I was gonna fit through those two on the front stretch. We did and (Bidinger) was really good. "I didn't think I was gonna catch him and probably wouldn't have if we wouldn't have hit lapped traffic." Hodges wound up third with Ryan Middaugh fourth and Jason Pursley fifth. Fennewald takes a USRA Stock Cars thriller: Johnny Fennewald of Appleton City beat Derek Brown by a few inches in a thriller of an O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars 20-lap feature. The former Lucas Oil Speedway Late Model track champion edged out Brown by .027 seconds at the finish line - just after Brown had led at the white-flag by a similar, micro margin. It was Fennewald's first USRA Stock Cars win of the season. Fennewald said his motor was running hot in the later stages of the race, which caused some extra worry. "Lap 14, I was running about 245, 250 (degrees) and I could tell it was not good. It was starting to miss and cut out," Fennewald said. "I was like if I don't run it off in there keep it straight and run it in there like I do that Late Model, I was gonna lose. "I'll tell you what, I gave her hell on that last lap. I was just letting her eat." Front-row starter Brown led the first three laps before Fennewald, a three-time Late Model track champion, went around him on the high side in turns three and four to grab the lead to complete lap 4. Fennewald drove away to a two-second lead by lap 11 over Ed Griggs with Brown slipping to third. By lap 14, the lead with 1.4 seconds, but that was erased with the fourth caution of the race, leading to a restart with six to go. On the restart, Brown moved into second and Griggs pulled into the pits. Brown went into the lead out of turn four on lap 16, but Fennewald battled back on the outside and reclaimed the lead the next time around. That set the stage for the finish, with the two side by side the entire time before Fennewald was able to prevail. Robert White finished third with Doug Keller fourth and James McMillin came home in fifth. Henson earns Late Model win: Cole Henson of Russellville finally put away Larry Ferris late in the Hermitage Lumber Late Model feature after the two staged a duel most of the way. Henson scored his second feature win in three events this season, beating Ferris by 2.2 seconds in a race that was much more competitive than the final margin. "I was watching him down there every time I would go in (to a corner) high. He was barreling in down low," Henson said of Ferris. "Then I was trying to watch the (video board) back here. I had too much going on to watch. I should have just focused on driving. "But everything worked out great. Man, this humidity has these motors running hot. We got a little warmer than we wanted to out there, but it all worked out." Henson and Ferris wasted little time separating from the field with Henson hanging on to a narrow lead through the first half of the 20-lapper. Henson kept working the high side with Ferris in the low groove, never separated by more than a car length until they reached lapped traffic on lap 14. That allowed Henson to get about a six-car-length cushion that became about double that by lap 17. The two-time-defending track champ gradually pulled away rom there, outdistancing Ferris in the caution-free race. JC Morton was a distant third with Michael Maggard fourth and Tucker Cox in fifth. B-Mods win goes to Shadren Turner: Shadren Turner of St. Joseph, third in USRA National B-Mod points, dropped into Lucas Oil Speedway to pick up the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature win, taking over the lead just before the midpoint of the 20-lapper. Turner won for the 11th time this season at his sixth different track. It was his first win at Lucas Oil Speedway. "All the credit goes to these guys," Turner said of his crew and car owners in victory lane. "J2 Race Cars, Kris (Jackson) helps a ton and without him it wouldn't be possible." Turner passed JC Morton on the outside coming out of turn four to lap nine to grab the lead. He was able to stretch it to 1.4 seconds by lap 16 when a caution bunched the field. That left four laps to the finish with Gabriel Hodges in third and Ryan Gillmore in fourth behind the due up front. Turner held on from there and to beat Morton by 1.3 seconds at the finish. Gillmore finished a few feet behind Morton for the runner-up spot, with Hodges fourth and JC Newell fifth. Defending and six-time track champion Kris Jackson rallied to finish eighth after a flat tire on the opening lap put him at the back of the 24-car field for a restart.

- Dylan Swiernik Soars to Empire Super Sprints Win at Genesee Speedway
Rich Vleck, BATAVIA, NY, (June 11, 2022)- The fastest laps of the season at the Genesee Speedway were turned on Saturday Night at the Empire Super Sprints invaded Batavia on a Chamber of Commerce Night and the results saw some incredible stories unfold. Dylan Swiernik's runner-up finish with the Empire Super Sprints Friday Night at Ransomville was a positive for his team, but he was still looking for one more important position. On Saturday Night, he got the result he was looking for. Swiernik, of Port Leyden, NY, led all 25-laps of the Empire Super Sprints A-Main to capture his third career win, his first since August of 2013. The veteran not only got the win, he had to hold off some of the fiercest names in the pit area to make it back to Victory Lane. Swiernik's first challenger for the lead was Chuck Hebing, who chased him around for the opening five laps as both felt out the track. On a lap six double-file restart, Swiernik's No. 7c stumbled on the bottom, which allowed "The Cobra" to jump out in front, before the lap could be completed though the caution flag reappared, negating the pass for the lead, and making the next restart single-file due to ESS rules. Hebing would continue to stalk Swiernik, but on lap 22 his No. 45 suddenly slowed on the top of turn two and would be done for the night. The next challenger for Swiernik was Matt Farnham, who won feature at Ransomville on Friday Night. Farnham was primed for a sweep of the weekend, but an issue with his No. 7NY in the closing laps would drop him from the race a lap early. This would open up the door for Sammy Reakes IV, who drove his way up through the pack using the bottom-line, but would have to settle for second, which was enough to put a smile on his face. Joe Trenca had the quickest car in hot laps and won his heat, but a ninth place starting spot via the redraw made it a tough road for the driver of the No. 98. He was able to get though the pack running the top line to finish in third, but walked away knowing he was capable of more. Point leader Jordan Poirier's first appearance at Genesee would result in a fourth while Jeff Cook as able to drive up from his 14th starting spot to round out the top five. In the weekly divisions, a number of drivers won their second feature of the year, while a few got their first career victory. Bill Holmes was part of the second win crew, as he put on a clinic, leading all 25 laps of a caution-free feature in the late model dvision. Holmes, of E. Concord, was able to dominate in the blackened portion of the track near the top and was able to drive off the win by more than six seconds. Behind the defending track champion was an incredible four-car battle for the runner-up spot, with Dave DuBois fending off Jeremy Wonderling for second. Off the final corner, Jimmy Johnson would narrowly edge out JJ Mazur at the line for fourth place. It was a similar story in the sportsman division as that race also featured the defending champion leading all 25 laps for his second win of the year. Cameron Tuttle, of Wilson, used the top line throughout the race to dominate the event. Tuttle would slide his No. 35T lower entering turn three but would power off the fourth corner to pull away. Kyle Richner was running in second until lap 19 when he was forced to the infield, while allowed veteran Ray Bliss to finish in second for his best run of the season. Phil Vigneri rounded out the podium in third while Noah Walker and Adam Hilton completed the top five. Byron Dewitt scored an emotional victory in the Street Stock Feature, as the two-time division champion led all 20 laps to capture his first win at Genesee in more than four years. Dewitt, who had moved to the sportsman division over the last four years, decided to run the street stock solely a few weeks ago to get back to his winning ways and was able to recapture that glory on Saturday Night. The first 16 laps of the feature ran off without caution, as Dewitt paced John Zimmerman, last-week's feature winner, as the duo pulled away from the pack. On the ensuing restart, Zimmerman showed the nose in the corner, but Dewitt was too strong. A caution on the final circuit would bring the winner back in to question but, once again, Dewitt's No. 87H was supreme and he would hold off Zimmerman. Dan Schulz would finish in third while heat winner Jacob Vick was fourth. Bill Taylor drove his way up to round out the top five. James Gayton captured his second mini stock feature win of the season in the final feature of the night. Gayton moved by Olivia Coniber on a lap eight restart and then never looked back over the second half of the race as Coniber would have to settle for second. Caleb Wolcott scored an impressive third place finish while Jessica Schleede and Eric Brumsted rounded out the top five. Point leader Bill Weller Jr. was giving Gayton chase but had a wild spin off the track in turn three but was able to get back up to sixth. The Novice Sportsman Feature was only 15 laps in distance, but it featured five lead changes, including one on the final lap between two drivers going after their first win in the division. Coming to the checkered flag, the caution flag waved, forcing a single-lap sprint to decide the finish. On that final circuit, Casey Jonathan and leader John Livingston Jr. made side contact entering turn one. Jonathan was able to get in front but entering turn three Livingston made one last-ditch effort for the win, making contact with the left rear of Jonathan's No. 74, but not enough to spin out the leader. Jonathan, despite being banged up in the sheet metal, was able to hang on for his long-awaited win. Allison Dewitt was able to drive up to second with Bailey Logsdon closely behind to finish third. One of the most thrilling moments of the night came in the first feature of the night when Morgan Coniber captured her first career win in the Bandit Feature. Coniber, who was caught up in a spin on the second, came back up through the pack to take the lead away with a three-wide pace on lap five to jump out in front. Coming to the white flag though, Coniber's No. 004 got sideways and allowed point leader Seth Johnson to reel her in. Off the final set of corners, Coniber again got crossed up, setting up a drag race to the finish line, where Coniber was able to hold off Johnson by a matter of feet. Jonathan Logsdon finished a close third in a race that featured five lead changes. After seven straight weeks of Saturday Night action, Genesee Speedway will return to action on Thursday Night for the special "Light up the Night for Kenzie", presented Johnson Automotive. The night will feature a special-paying Mini Stock event, fireworks, pro mods and so much more. For more information, visit www.Genesee-Speedway.com.

- Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Former track champ Burrell back in USRA Modified action after a year-long break
WHEATLAND, MO. (June 9, 2022) - When Mickey Burrell returned to the driver's seat of his USRA Modified after taking the 2021 season off, the likable veteran racer from Fair Grove wasn't sure what to expect. "It's fun being back in the car and making laps," Burrell said earlier this week. "I've kind of got the drive to want to work on it again and go some more. "I wondered if we did this again if I'd get back into it," Burrell added. "But that first night, I was ready to go back and figured that was a good sign." Burrell and the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds will headline Saturday night's Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series program. It will be $5 Night at the Races Presented by KOLR and the Modifieds will have a 25-lap feature for $1,000 to win. Spectators are admitted for $5 to the grandstands with kids 5-and-under free. Those attending the KDBA Drag Boat Spring Opener on Lake Lucas earlier in the day also will be admitted free to the dirt-track action. Burrell, the 2011 Lucas Oil Speedway Modified track champion, has one top-10 run in four features this season. He's just outside the top 10 in points, having missed the first points night of the season. While the results haven't been exactly what he desires so far, Burrell hopes to consistently sustain speed soon. "So far we've struggled some," Burrell said. "Sometimes we're better than others. We've been decent a couple of heat races, but haven't been able to put it all together yet. "We're hoping some of the stuff we've figured out will help. We'll see." Burrell, nicknamed "Squirrel," joked before his first night back, on April 30, that he might need a competition caution every five laps just to catch his breath. But it was a busy work schedule in 2021 that led to him taking a breather after racing regularly on area ovals for more than a decade. "We had started to get stuff ready last winter. The wrap that's on the car we got last year," Burrell said. "I just got busy working and Elston (crew chief Elston Moore) got busy working. We couldn't get it all put together, so ended up not racing. "I guess that made it easier this winter because a lot of it was ready." Asked if he missed racing last year, Burrell said, "I was almost too busy to miss it. There were times that I guess I did, but we didn't even go to a race all of last year. I watched a few times on MAVTV Plus or MAVTV and that was it. "This year, I was tired of working as much as I was, so I thought, 'We're gonna back it down a little bit and try to race again.' So we have." Burrell said it's hard to believe that it's been 11 years since he won a championship at Lucas Oil Speedway, though he said the technology in Modifieds has changed considerably since that time. "Maybe back then I just had more time and kept up with it better," Burrell said. "Taking a year off has got us behind. We've been talking to Jeff Taylor and Kevin at Shaw Race Cars quite a bit and trying to get back up on the game. They've helped out a lot with different things. "I always thought being a heavier guy, it made things different. Jeff is kind of the first guy who talked much about changing things for it. That seems to have helped." Burrell said there are fewer Modifieds competing weekly than a decade ago, but the competition level makes running near the front challenging. He said his long-time friend and crew chief, Moore, will give it all they have to become a contender. "Some places it's not as bad, but up there, several guys are good and have the equipment and the ability to get the job done," Burrell said. "Elston's been helping me, probably nine or 10 years. I couldn't do it without him. He's a big help. We kind of do this thing together and that makes it fun." The team's sponsors include Nixa Monument, Dorothy and Tex Motorsports and Bud's Tire & Wheel.

- NIGHT OF DESTRUCTION AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY THIS SATURDAY
(Perris, CA, June 7, 2022) The "Craziest Show On Dirt" returns to Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday, June 11, when LKQ Pick Your Part Presents Night of Destruction. The evening of clean family fun and racing will feature daring Figure 8 races, a crazy Figure 8 Trailer Race, bump & grind Mini Stocks, rough and tumble Demo Cross, and the zany Double Deckers. Spectator gates for the track's most popular event will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. For those who have never been to Night of Destruction at The PAS, it is a slick two and a half to three-hour show that keeps spectators on the edge of their seats with wild crashes, exciting racing, and lots of laughs. It appeals to fans from children four years old to 90-year-old seniors. The night kicks off when fans are allowed onto the track from 5:15 - 5:45 to meet the drivers, collect autographs, take pictures, and view the cars up close. In addition, the drivers will have free candy to pass out to the kids as they come by. "Night of Destruction is a crazy show that appeals to everyone," promoter Don Kazarian said on Tuesday. "It features thrills and crashes all night long. You have a huge cross-section of cars and competitors. You see some high-dollar cars in the Figure 8 class all the way down to cars in the mini stocks that some drivers paid $300.00 for. The drivers in those $300.00 mini stocks race just as hard as the drivers in the high-dollar cars when it is their turn to take the stage. That is what makes it so much fun. There is something for everyone. " The wildest and most popular part of the show is the Double Deckers. One car bolted on top of another! The driver in the bottom car controls the throttle and the brakes. The driver on the top steers and apart from hollering out the windows, they have no way of communicating with each other. Anything that can happen usually does happen when the Double Deckers are racing. "The concession lines are down and the restrooms are empty when the Double Deckers are on the track," Kazarian laughed. "They are just wild. They run clockwise, they bump and they crash and they spend a lot of time in the corners on two wheels. It is the craziest thing I have ever seen on a dirt track." PAS 5-21-22=33=DubDec=3584-3.jpg Popular Double Deckers feature drivers in each car performing separate duties. Doug Allen photo. The point leaders heading into Saturday's race are Trebor Stephens of San Jacinto in the Demo Cross, Foothill Ranch veteran Kevin Cox in Figure 8s, Jake Grey in the Mini Stocks, the John Flowers #0 team in the Double Deckers, and Brian Kedzior of Riverside who is the leader in the Figure 8 Trailer class and the Iron Man which combines all the classes.

- Ryland Scores Milestone Win At Antioch Speedway, DeCarlo, Foulger, Kammermann Other Winners
Antioch, CA...June 4...Point leader Fred Ryland won the 20 lap IMCA Sport Modified Main Event Saturday night at Antioch Speedway. This was the fourth win of the season for Ryland. The win gives him 70 total career wins at Antioch Speedway and puts him fourth all time as he maintains the Sport Modified point lead in a close battle with Andrew Pearce. Joseph Pato led a lap before spinning in Turn 3 for a yellow flag. This put Matt Pitts into the lead on the restart, and he led a lap before Nick Zapatero made a Turn 2 pass for the lead. Pearce quickly moved into second and started challenging Zapatero. When Zapatero got too high exiting Turn 2 on Lap 8, Pearce raced by for the lead. Kenny Shrader and Ryland were quickly into second and third. Ryland moved into second on a Lap 12 restart, and he started challenging Pearce during the latter stages of the race. When Pearce bobbled ever so slightly in Turn 4 on Lap 17, Ryland went high and took the lead. Ryland pulled away from there to win with Pearce settling for second ahead of Shrader, KC Keller and Tommy Fraser. Nick DeCarlo rebounded in a big way by winning his third 20 lap IMCA Modified Main Event. After back to back bad nights, DeCarlo had fallen to third in the standings going into the night, but he exited the evening as the point leader once again. After a complete restart, Nick DeCarlo led his father Terry DeCarlo Sr when the racing began. A low pass in Turn 2 gained Troy Foulger second on Lap 5, but Nick DeCarlo held a straightaway advantage by then. Incoming point leader Kellen Chadwick slipped past Foulger for second on Lap 11, but Chadwick and Jeff Browne tangled on the frontstretch for a Lap 13 yellow flag. Foulger was penalized to the rear for his part in the incident, and Nick DeCarlo led Trevor Clymens on the restart. Clymens broke a driveline on Lap 18 for a yellow flag with Aaron Crowell moving into second on the restart. As Nick DeCarlo pulled away to a comfortable margin of victory, a low pass in Turn 2 on the final lap put Foulger into second. Crowell settled for third ahead of Buddy Kniss and Brent Curran. Troy Foulger won the 20 lap IMCA Stock Car Main Event. This was the second win of the season for Foulger in this division. Andrew Pearce took the early lead ahead of Joe Gallaher, and a yellow flag waved on Lap 2 for a Dave Hill spin in Turn 3. That was the final slowdown of the race, and Foulger bolted into second behind Pearce on the restart. Gallaher was holding on to third, but he surrendered the spot to a low pass in Turn 4 by point leader Travis Dutra on lap 4. Foulger was pressuring Pearce for the lead before making a low pass in Turn 3 on Lap 7 to take over. Foulger built a straightaway advantage as Pearce had his hands full with Dutra. As Foulger took the win, Dutra made a last lap pass on Pearce for second. Dan Gonderman and Fred Ryland completed the Top 5. Devan Kammermann won his second-straight Delta Dwarf Car Main Event. Kammermann took the early lead ahead of Chance Russell, but Kammermann was getting sideways exiting Turn 3. On the second lap, Kammermann got a little too sideways and Russell got by for the lead as Sean Catucci and Danny Wagner battled fiercely for third. Russell started to pull away from Kammermann as the race hit the midway point, but Kammermann started to gather his composure. They hit traffic on Lap 13 and Kammermann attempted an inside pass. Russell held him off, but Kammermann went low in Turn 2 on Lap 14 to get the lead. Bennett Gooch III brought out a yellow flag on Lap 14. On the restart, Wagner bolted into second. However, Kammermann kept his cool down the stretch and scored the win. Russell ended up third, followed by Ellie Russo and Catucci. Racing resumes next weekend with the Sonny Calkins Memorial race. The Wingless Spec Sprints will pay $2,500 to win and $200 minimum to start. The WMR Midgets will be there along with the Pacific Coast General Engineering Hobby Stocks and Mini Stocks.

- Cole Duncan utilizes last lap pass to score George Fisher Memorial at Atomic for $15,000
CHILLICOTHE, Ohio (June 4, 2022) - The last lap pays the most, and Lockbourne, Ohio's Cole Duncan took that methodology to heart on Saturday evening at Atomic Speedway in Chillicothe, Ohio, utilizing a last lap pass to score the George Fisher Memorial Freedom 40 title worth $15,000. For Duncan, the Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 score was his first of the season and seventh overall, now with three total Series victories at the Atomic highbanks. "George built my motors when I started racing, and to win a race in his honor is pretty special," an elated Cole Duncan explained, ace of the Helms Construction/Ohio Heating No. 22 sprint car. "He was such a great guy and he is missed so much. One heck of a mechanic, and an even better guy." In fact, the last lap was the only lap that Duncan led during the entire 40-lap distance, commencing his march to the front from the inside of row three. Kokomo, Indiana's Parker Price-Miller and Waterville, Ohio's Travis Philo were the pace setters for the first 39 circuits with Price-MIller leading the first 22 before Philo took over on lap 23. Price-Miller's hiccup occurred with a slip in turn two, leaving the abrasive groove open for Philo at the exit of the corner. Incidentally, Philo's loss of the lead on 33 was due to the same mistake, ultimately leaving the bottom, abrasive groove open for Price-Miller to slip by. The duo would exchange positions yet again on lap 36 with Philo retaking command, this time due to Price-Miller's near contact with a lapped car at the entrance of turn three. Philo seemed to have the cat in the bag, but a series of cautions due to flat tires on lap 38 kept the race at a standstill. Green lights would eventually return, but only for a circuit, as a stoppage due to tire failure would bring out the yellow yet again. By this time, Duncan had quietly powered his way to second, getting by Hunter Schuerenberg on the fifth lap 38 restart attempt. With an abrasive surface the obvious issue, rather than finish with a traditional green-white-checkered format, the call was made to finish green-checkered. Despite the extra lap out of the question, Duncan persevered, using a slingshot move down the backstretch to power by Philo at the exit of turn four. "I was actually kinda hoping for those cautions," Duncan continued. "I just felt like I had more tire. I really went into conserve mode there about halfway. It was getting hard to get by lapped cars, so I just let the front two or three race. Travis didn't do what I thought he was going to do on the last lap. My only option was to try and keep my left rear in the rubber and drive out around him. It worked out for us tonight." ON DECK: Cometic Gasket Ohio Sprint Speedweek presented by Mobil 1 will kick-off on Friday, June 10, with the Bert and Brigitte Emick Classic at Attica Raceway Park in Attica, Ohio. Ohio Sprint Speedweek will continue the next eight nights with stops at Fremont Speedway on Saturday and Sunday, June 11-12, Wayne County Speedway on Monday, June 13, Sharon Speedway on Tuesday, June 14, Atomic Speedway on Wednesday, June 15, Waynesfield Raceway Park on Thursday, June 16, Limaland Motorsports Park on Friday, June 17, and Portsmouth Raceway Park on Saturday, June 18. Saturday's finale, the Dean Knittel Memorial, will award $20,554-to-win.

- Noah Walker and Jeremy Wonderling Garner Genesee Wins
Rich Vleck, BATAVIA, NY, (June 4, 2022)- A perfect night weather-wise set the scene for the sixth-straight Saturday of racing at Genesee Speedway. The result was three drivers picking up another victory for 2022 while three other drivers, who are not strangers to Victory Lane in past seasons, finding their way back for the first time this year. On the second night of the year, Noah Walker lost the lead on the final lap of the Sportsman Feature; last Sunday at Weedsport he lost the lead on the final lap, but on Saturday Night he made the critical moves down the stretch to get redemption and park his No. 22 on the frontstretch. Walker, of N. Tonawanda, held off a late challenge from Dave Conant for his first win of the year in the Sportsman division. Walker took the lead on lap 13 when leader Phil Vigerni III got caught up in lapped traffic but then found himself mired with the back of the pack putting his chances of holding on to the lead in question. "I'm not sure what happened with Phil and the lapped car, but I saw him get slowed up and knew I had room to get underneath him," said Walker in Victory Lane. "Then I saw the 44 (of Conant) on the board in second and knew he runs good on the bottom so I kept the car down there the best I could." As Conant was closing back in on the leader with 2 laps remaining, Walker dove underneath a lapped car and got his car to stick which would turn out to be the breathing room he needed to capture his first win of the season. Conant, last week's feature winner, would settle for second while Vigneri would round out the top three. Defending champion Cameron Tuttle was a closer fourth while Kyle Richer collected his fifth top five of the season. At the end of the night, Jeremy Wonderling put on a performance in the 25-lap Late Model Feature for his second win of the year. While former track champions were breathing down his next at the finish, Wonderling was in control in front of the pack. "It finally feels like we are hitting our stride," declared Wonderling in Victory Lane. "We've done a lot of work on the car and had a really good car here tonight. I wish I had this good of a car last week (RUSH Tour Race)." Wonderling led from the pole position and had a healthy lead until a caution flag on lap 10 erased his advantage. On the double-file restart, Wonderling chose the inside lane, a rare selection at Genesee, but "Mr. Excitement" knew what he was doing. "I'm sure I shocked a bunch of people doing that. There was just so much brown down on the bottom though I knew I could get the launch off." A final caution on lap 21 would allow JJ Mazur to close back in, and while Mazur got a better restart that time, Wonderling would huge in the middle groove to keep his No. 3J out front. The fastest car over the final four-lap stretch was Jimmy Johnson, who rode the rim to drive around Mazur off the final corner to finish in second behind Wonderling. Behind Mazur was Doug Ricotta for fourth and Steve LeBarron in fifth. John Zimmerman got a late start to 2022 but he let his presence be known on his first appearance to Genesee on Saturday Night as he dominated the 20-lap Street Stock event. "The Z-Man" started in fifth, but took the lead by the second lap and never looked back in his No. 0. Zimmerman used the bottom line to take the lead from Phil Schepis but then started hanging on the top of the track with a safe lead. Halfway through the race though, he moved back to the bottom and drove off to a comfortable win. Point leader Bill Taylor had to fight hard to hold off Byron Dewitt for second in a fierce battle. Behind that duo was Jesse Qutermous and Brandon Sherwood, who rounded out a fast top five. Four-time track champion Dante Mancuso was dominant in the Mini Stock Feature as he claimed his first win at his hometown track in 2022. Mancuso, who started in sixth, took the lead on lap five from Cole Susice by running the inside groove then moved up to the top and peddled his No. 1 in front of a loaded field and steadily pulled away to claim the victory. Susice would hold off Chirs Leone for second while point leader Bill Weller Jr was fourth, ahead of Caleb Wolcott, who claimed his first top five of the year. Greenley George claimed her second win of the year in the Novice Sportsman division, leading all 15 laps in her No. 26. George, of Wilson, was holding a comfortable lead when a caution with 2 laps to go gave John Livingston Jr. a chance to make a bid for the lead. Livingston made a dive underneath the leader going in to turn one but could not hold his No. 1J down and George was able to drive back in front and stay there. Livingston would settle for second while Paul Marshall was third. Seth Johnson scored his third Bandit feature win of the year in dramatic fashion after he drove underneath Jonathan Logsdon coming to the white flag and completed the pass in the final set of corners to claim the win. Johnson, of Castile, was initially battling for the lead on lap six when leader Morgan Coniber spun in front of him, bringing both cars to a stop. Johnson quickly ran back up to second and then chased down the leader and hit his marks to jump back in front. Logsdon would settle for second while Nicholas Lipome rounded out the podium. Next Saturday Night, the Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprints will invade Batavia for their only visit of the 2022 season. The show is presented by A-Verdi Storage Containers and will feature all of the weekly divisions. Racing will kick off at a special time of 5:00 P.M.

- Championship Battles Heat Up At Antioch Speedway Saturday Night
Antioch, CA...We are now three months into racing season at Antioch Speedway, and nobody is walking off with the championship just yet in most of the classes. This Saturday night, we see a trifecta of IMCA sanctioned divisions, led by the Modifieds, Sport Modifieds and Stock Cars. Also competing will be the Delta Dwarf Cars. In all four cases, the championship races are close. Last Saturday night, Kellen Chadwick came within a whisker of picking up his third IMCA Modified feature win of the season. Though he settled for second behind 2004 title winner Aaron Crowell, he still managed to take a one point lead over Bobby Motts Jr by the end of the evening. Motts managed a sixth place finish, but that was much better than incoming leader Nick DeCarlo could accomplish. Nick had to borrow father Terry DeCarlo Sr's car, but it was still a disappointing night that dropped him to third, three points behind Chadwick. The good news is DeCarlo has done well enough that he could absorb a couple of bad nights and still not hinder his championship hopes too badly. It will still leave the DeCarlo team scrambling to get the car ready for Saturday. Chadwick might have had a bit of a bumpy start this year, but he's begun to hit his stride. While 2017 champion Motts still searches for his first win, he finds himself in the hunt based on consistently good finishes. Thirteen points out of the lead in fourth is the top rookie Trevor Clymens, who leads Terry DeCarlo Jr by two points. In IMCA Sport Modifieds, Fred Ryland seems to be hitting on all eight cylinders now. He had to start deep in the pack at the most recent race, which had no yellow flags. He also had to reel in Nick Zapatero and make a last lap pass to secure his third win of the season. In doing so, Ryland wrestled the point lead away from Andrew Pearce by just two points. To this stage of the season, Pearce has done it with consistency, but the rising young star will probably need to get at least one win to keep up with Ryland in the championship chase. Another of the division's young guns, Jacob Mallet Jr, is just 11 points out of the lead in third. Mallet does have a win at Watsonville this year, but he's still looking for his first Antioch victory. He finished fourth last time out to stay in the hunt. The standings were shaken up just a little bit this past week with a couple of absences from the field. Jason Ryan Jr has moved into fourth in the standings, 39 points behind Ryland. Five points behind Ryan is Chuck Golden. As we approach the midpoint of the season, this is the time for drivers to step it up in their quest for championship glory. Reigning IMCA Stock Car champion Travis Dutra is still in pursuit of his first win of the season. He has been very consistent this year and has finished as high as second. This has enabled him to keep a seven point lead over two-time winner Jason Robles. However, the past Dwarf Car and Mini Truck champion isn't content to come out and finish second. He's hungry for Main Event glory, and he'll have his eyes on the prize this Saturday night. It looks like the championship race may be a two-car battle at this point, although anything can happen. In the meantime, Kellen Chadwick and Jason Jennings find themselves tied for third in the standings, 10 ahead of the tied Joe Gallaher and Dave Hill. All four drivers are still looking for their first feature wins of the season in this class, although Gallaher is a multi-time winner in Hobby Stock competition at Watsonville this year, where he is the reigning champion. The competition level is fierce in this class, and it's anybody's guess who might win this week. Danny Wagner has certainly raised the bar in Delta Dwarf Car competition. The two-time Antioch champion broke his arm about a month ago, and he still manages to pilot his car very impressively. Last time out, however, he followed up his heat race win with the DNF in the future race. It turned out to be the night in which Devan Kammeramann finally scored his first career win. The win for Kammeramann moved him to within four points of Wagner in another close championship battle. They say that the first win is the hardest, but it isn't as tough after that. If that's the case, Kammeramann may make it more challenging for Wagner this week and in the weeks ahead. Chance Russell leads the battle for third, 14 points ahead of Ellie Russo, 18 ahead of David Rosa and 22 in front of David Michael Rosa. All four of these drivers are in search of their first win of the season, and Russell has certainly been fast. David Rosa knows a thing or two about winning at Antioch Speedway as only four other drivers have won more Main Events than him in the history of this track. Dwarf Car racing is fast and furious, and the field has their sights set on Wagner and Kammeramann in the quest for Main Event glory this Saturday night. Good car counts are anticipated in all four divisions when the action resumes this Saturday night. The grandstands will open at 4:00 with the first race firing off at 6:00. Ticket prices are $20 for adults, $15 for military, senior (60 and over) and children (under 11) with children five and under free. For further information, go to www.antochspeedway.com.
- Tim LaDuc Etches Name In Nationals History Book With $5,000 Win At Devil's Bowl Speedway Roberts, Miller, Dennis, Summer, Allen, and Tanner Also Victorious
West Haven, VT - Tim LaDuc seems to like money. He backed up his season opening $3,000 win with a $5,000 victory in the 2022 edition of the Northeast Crate Nationals Sunday evening with a late race pass on Elmo Reckner in a crowd pleasing 100-lap Memorial Weekend event. Evan Roberts (Limited Sportsman), Steve Miller (Rookie Sportsman), Logan Dennis (500cc Mini Sprint), Chris Summer (Mini Stock), Chase Allen (Mini Stock), and Matt Tanner (Sprint Cars Of New England). Elmo Reckner and Billy Lussier brought the 32-car Sunoco Sportsman Modified field to the green for the 13th edition of the Northeast Crate Nationals. Reckner would claim the lead with his East Coast Rubbish Removal number 17 and stay strong on the point holding off challenges from perennial contender Todd Stone, until the G. Stone Motors 1X suffered a flat left front and had to pit. Defending track champion Tim LaDuc had his Hulbert Supply number 54 moving, as he climbed from his 9th starting spot to runner up and began methodically pressuring for the top spot. While the veterans were out front a pair of young guns were moving through the field. Troy Audet with his G. Stone Commercial number 13A and Johnny Bruno in his Bruno's Towing number 22 were making moves coming from 8th and 10th starting spots. While Todd Stone charged through the field after his flat, Justin Comes rallied from 14th to 6th, and Kevin Chaffee put in work driving from 25th to 9th it was Reckner and LaDuc who had the crowd on edge as they battled for the lead. On lap 93 LaDuc made his move and led the final seven circuits to pick up the 100-lap Northeast Crate Nationals win worth $5,000. Reckner, Audet, Bruno, and Todd Stone rounded out the top five. Kevin Chaffee received Jim Spaulding Memorial Hard Charger award presented by Ed "Elmo" Allen. Chaffee marched from 25th to 9th during the 100-lap Nationals earning him a Ben Franklin for his efforts. Special thanks to Elmo's Pit Stop for again providing the hard charger bonus. Evan Roberts earned his second O'Reilly Auto Parts Limited Sportsman 25-lap feature win Sunday evening. He's been red hot with multiple top five finishes including those aforementioned two victories. Scott Fitzgerald, Bubba McPhee, Jason Quenneville, and Justin Lilly rounded out the top five finishers. Steve Miller scored a 20-lap Rookie Sportsman win for the old guard, and he did it in fine fashion after starting 10th in the field. Rounding out the top five Sunday night were Daryl Gebo, William Lussier Jr., Adam LaFountain, and Randy Edson. Young Logan Dennis earned a popular win in the Friend Construction 500cc Mini Sprint feature event. He was followed by Chayton Young, Lane Saville, Thomas Kasuba, and Gage Provencher rounding out the top five. Chris Summer and Chase Allen claimed victory in the dual 15-lap Mini Stock feature events, while Matt Tanner earned the Sprint Cars of New England victory in their first visit of 2022.

- Central Missouri Speedway Memorial Weekend Concludes with Schultz, Coats, Boos, and Russell Capturing Victories!
(Warrensburg, Missouri) The 27th Annual Memorial Day Weekend special events at Central Missouri Speedway (CMS) concluded Sunday evening with 79 race teams on hand in four divisions. Entries included 15 Pure Stocks, 21 POWRi Lightning Sprints, 12 POWRi Super Stocks, and 31 B-Mods. Capping the weekend with victories were Bobby Russell in Pure Stocks, Johnny Boos in the Lightning Sprint Nationals, Johnny Coats in the Super Stocks night two special, and Terry Schultz in the B-Mods for the $2,000-to-win special, giving him a weekend sweep of B-Mod main events. Pure Stocks - 15 Entries Heat 1 - 8 Laps: 1. 11S-Tyler Starmer[4]; 2. 30K-Cameron Kelly[1]; 3. 38-Bobby Russell[5]; 4.

(DNS) 1-Landon Harper; 15. (DQ) 7-Spencer Reiff[2] New Hampton, Missouri's Tyler Starmer and Kansas City driver Spencer Reiff earned row one honors for the night's 20-lap Pure Stock main event. Starmer was strong early on holding off challenges from Reiff while Cameron Kelly was moving in to challenge the leaders. Early cautions slowed the field as the leaders resumed their battles with Bobby Russell and Jason Ryun joining the top five. Kelly was later sent to the tail of the field for aggressive driving and would later recover to a fourth-place run. Jerrett Evans, who started eighth, began his charge to the front in the second half of the race as he moved inside the top three in a close battle with Russell, just after Starmer's night unfortunately came to an end. Reiff then picked up the lead and led the rest of the way to take the initial victory; however, his car did not pass post-race technical inspection and he was disqualified from the finishing order. This resulted in Bobby Russell capturing his sixth CMS victory. Evans finished a solid second with Ryun third, Kelly fourth, and fourteenth-starting Larry Norris fifth.

(DNF) 3C-Jeff Bard[20] Shane Sexton and Chastity Younger began the Second-Annual $1,500-to-win POWRi Midwest Lightning Sprint Nationals from row one. Boos and Sexton led the field of sprinters early in the finale. Boos enjoyed his lead while behind him Tomy Moreau and Sexton battled inside the top three ahead of Trice Roden and Chase Fischer. Caution flew at the lap 14 marker with Boos and Sexton for the lead. A multi-car crash at the front of the field led to red-flag conditions as Sexton clipped a utility tire sending his car over and collecting Fischer in the process. All drivers initially checked out okay as the track was cleared for racing to resume. Boos resumed the race with Chris Crowder, who had flipped his care earlier in the night during his heat race, remarkably rebounding to move into second. The final ten laps saw the drivers in a spirited battle for the national's title. One caution slowed the race and on the final restart as the pair ran hard but clean for the win. Meanwhile Brendon Cascadden moved from tenth on the field to the top three with Moreau close behind. Bobby Layne advanced from 21st on the grid to the top five in the closing laps. When the checkers flew, it was Boos narrowly taking the victory ahead of Crowder, Cascadden, Moreau, and Layne.

(DNS) 83K-Denny Fitzpatrick Warrensburg drivers Aaron Poe and Dean Wille began the night's 25-lap POWRi Super Stock main event from the front of the field. Poe was in search of a weekend sweep of the $1,000-to-win events as he looked dominant in the opening stages of the race. Wille and Johnny Coats ran second and third until Wille's strong run ended on lap three as Coats took over second. Blaine Ewing and Bobby Ruff also ran close inside the top five by lap ten. At lap 12, Coats moved up to the bumper of Poe and began searching for a way around the leader, not long after the leaders had contact in the turn four area, leading to a black-flag warning on Coats at lap 16 as the lead changed hands. Branden Bise of Holts Summit, Missouri, climbed into the top five in the late stages from his eighth starting spot. Coats then pulled away by lap 18 and ultimately, stayed clean the rest of the way to capture his first-ever CMS victory ahead of Poe, Bise, Ewing, and Ruff.

(DNF) 88L-Joey Lile[6] Colin Pierce and Terry Schultz earned top passing points honors for the B-Mod 30-lap, $2,000-to-win main event. Looking for a weekend sweep of main events, Schultz led the field in the opening laps and pulled away from Pierce and Shadren Turner. By lap six, Schultz enjoyed a 2.5-second lead ahead of his closest pursuer. A yellow flag slowed the field at lap nine and when racing resumed, Schultz led Turner, Pierce, and Colson Kirk and Jeremy Lile in a fantastic battle inside the top five. By the halfway point, Turner was searching high and low for a run on Schultz as he closed in on the leader. Lile and Kirk battled for third as Matt Dotson made his way into the mix. After a trio of quick cautions, the field ran the final circuits to the checkers with the leaders resuming their quest for the $2,000 top prize. Meanwhile, Dotson advanced to third and made it a three-car run as the leaders threaded their way through some lapped traffic over the final two circuits. Ultimately, Schultz held off the challenges of both Turner and Dotson to claim the win. Lile was fourth followed by tenth-starting Cole Campbell in fifth. Both drivers and fans reveled in the conditions of the track and the racing itself as only one of the 24 original starters finished the race, another classic etched into the CMS grounds. The weekly championship season continues next Saturday, June 4th for Joslin's Jewelry race night featuring the Show-Me Vintage Series along with B-Mods, POWRi Super Stocks, Pure Stocks, and Midwest (E) Mods in competition.

- PROTECTING HOME TURF: STARKS DOMINATES FASTEST FOUR DAYS FINALE AT GRAYS HARBOR
(5/29/2022 - Alex Nieten) Elma, WA... Entering Sunday night, Trey Starks said he could probably count on his hands how many times he'd driven a 410 sprint car at Grays Harbor Raceway, but that didn't slow him down. The Puyallup Washington native has countless laps and many wins at the Elma, WA three-eights mile, but many of those laps and all of those wins had been in a 360 sprint car. With the NARC Fujitsu General Sprint Cars visiting for the Fastest Four Days in Motorsports finale on Sunday, Starks added a 410 win to the resumé. Starks dominated the Fujitsu Feature, leading all 30 laps on his way to his first career NARC win in his 11th series start and first start with the West Coast's best since 2016. The victory earned him $7,000 as he protected home turf and prevented the California drivers from sweeping the Pacific Northwest trip. "We like racing the 410s," Starks said in victory lane. "We like bringing the good guys up from California and seeing if we can run with them and tonight, luckily, we could." Bringing the field to green was Justin Sanders with Starks to his outside. Starks wasted no time establishing that he would be a force to be reckoned with by rocketing around Sanders' outside to lead the opening circuit. Behind Starks, the defending NARC champion Dominic Scelzi threw a slider on Sanders and cleared him to take over the runner-up spot on the second lap and began to pursue Starks. As the leaders approached traffic Scelzi closed in about 10 laps in but couldn't quite mount the charge he needed. Starks began to pull away. "I know you've got to be really careful," Starks said of negotiating traffic. "I started to move down in traffic and realized our car was good enough that we could pretty much go anywhere, so that was good to know, especially when you're racing around in traffic and having to pass guys." The race's first yellow flew on lap 14 for a slowing Tanner Holmes in turn 4. On the restart, Starks pulled ahead as a wild war began for the second spot. Sanders and Mitchell Faccinto challenged Scelzi as they screamed into turn one three wide. As they exited turn two, Sanders emerged ahead using the bottom. Sanders wasted no time in giving Starks his toughest challenge. On the next lap, Sanders utilized an excellent run through the bottom of turns one and two to pull even with Starks down the backstretch. Starks fended off the challenge, but Sanders roared back the next lap in the same spot, showing him a nose as they raced toward turn three. Ultimately, Starks' T&C Concepts/Starks Racing No. 55 proved too strong as Sanders could never gather enough of a run to clear him. Starks pulled away from Sanders with less than 10 to go. The leaders entered traffic again as the laps dwindled, allowing Sanders to close back in, but the same traffic hindered Sanders and opened the door for Scelzi to swipe second back with just a few circuits remaining. Meanwhile, ahead of them, Starks drove away in front of a proud home state crowd. Starks took the checkered flag with a 2.254 second advantage to win one for the Pacific Northwest locals. "We were just fast," Starks said. "We were decent all night, and we kind of knew what the track does. Obviously, we run here a lot, so we know which direction it moves, and we just made adjustments accordingly, and we were good enough to keep all those guys behind us." Scelzi hung on for second in his Red Rose Transportation/Whipple Superchargers No. 41, marking his eight consecutive podium to begin the NARC campaign. Scelzi made sure to plant a big kiss on Starks' cheek in victory lane as the two are long-time friends. "I've always had a big crush on Trey Starks," Scelzi joked. "Before that first yellow I felt like we had something for him around the bottom, and I just got a really bad restart. I'm not sure if I spun the tires or what, but he got away, and I had to race really hard to get back to second. He (Starks) just kicked our butt." Sanders completed the podium, giving him an all-podium showing during the Pacific Northwest swing as the Farmers Brewing Co./Mittry Construction pilot didn't miss the top-three all weekend. Despite the consistency, Sanders was left wanting a little more. "I just couldn't get a rhythm going," Sanders said. "Once Trey got out in the lead it was hard for me to follow him. Then Dominic slid me on that second lap. I just got all balled up for about 10 laps and they pulled away. Thankfully I had that restart and was able to get back by Dominic and try to trace down Trey, and I just faded every lap from there. Behind them, Tyler Thompson, in just his third NARC start, finished a series career-best fourth and Willie Croft completed the top-five. The balance of the top-10 included Mitchell Faccinto, Austen Wheatley, Logan Forler, Tanner Holmes, and Bud Kaeding. FUJITSU GENERAL USA FEATURE (30 laps): 1. Trey Starks 55 2. Dominic Scelzi 41 3.

- Slaney Wins Late Model Race At Antioch Speedway, Crowell, Ryland, Freethy Other Winners
Antioch, CA...May 28...Anthony Slaney won the 20 lap Xtreme Scaffolding Limited Limited Late Model Main Event Saturday night at Antioch Speedway. He's the third different winner in as many races on the tour this year, and the race would go without a yellow flag. Past Marysville and Placerville champion Matt Micheli took the early lead ahead of Slaney and Dan Brown Jr. Brown went low in Turn 4 on Lap 5 to take second from Slaney, and Dan Jinkerson briefly took third from Slaney on Lap 10. Within a few laps, the Top 5 competitors ran nose to tail, and Slaney made a big move on the outside in Turn 4 on Lap 13 to regain second. A low pass in Turn 3 of the 14th lap gained Slaney the lead. Jinkerson made an inside pass on the backstretch on Lap 16 to take second, but he spun in Turn 4 a lap later without a yellow flag. Slaney went on to victory ahead of Brown, Micheli, Kiely Ricardo and Brian Pearce. Aaron Crowell won the 20 lap IMCA Modified Main Event. This was the first win of the season for the 2004 champion. Crowell jumped into the early lead after the race had been restarted. Trevor Clymens was an early second. Clymens surrendered second to Kellen Chadwick in traffic on Lap 10 with Troy Foulger following closely into third. A blanket three-car battle developed for the lead with Crowell leading Chadwick and Foulger. As Foulger fell back a little bit in the waning laps, Chadwick took one more shot at Crowell, but Crowell prevailed at the checkered flag. Foulger settled for third, followed by Anthony Slaney and Clymens. Fred Ryland won his third 20 lap IMCA Sport Modified Main Event. The race was destined to go without a yellow flag, and Nick Zapatero bolted into the lead at the start ahead of Kevin Brown. Brown surrendered second to Chuck Golden on Lap 4 as Golden went low in Turn 4. Ryland made his first appearance in the Top 5 on Lap 7 and quickly moved into third behind Kenny Shrader after Golden hit the Turn 2 wall on Lap 9. Ryland slipped past Shrader for second on Lap 15. Zapatero was nursing some front end damage as he tried to protect his lead, but Ryland closed in on him with two laps to go. Zapatero went high exiting the final turn, and Ryland ducked low to make his winning pass and score the victory. Zapatero was a career best second, ahead of Shrader, Jacob Mallet Jr and Tommy Fraser. Jim Freethy won the 15 lap Super Stock Main Event. This was the second win of the season for the reigning division champion. The division's all time win leader and two-time champion Mike Gustafson returned to action and set the early pace ahead of Freethy and Joey Ridgeway Jr. A low move in Turn 2 of the fourth lap put Freethy into the lead with Ridgeway going low in Turn 3 to get second. The yellow flag waved on Lap 9 for Ridgeway in Turn 4, and Jimmy Robbins pitted with a flat tire. Freethy continued to lead the restart with Robbins going high in Turn 2 to take second from Gustafson. Freethy led the rest of the way to win ahead of Robbins, Gustafson, Ridgeway and Michael Burch. Racing resumes next Saturday night with IMCA Modifieds back in action along with the IMCA Sport Modifieds, IMCA Stock Cars and Delta Dwarf Cars.

- Ferguson Takes First Career Crown Jewel Win in 30th Annual Show-Me 100
Wheatland, MO (May 28, 2022) - Chris Ferguson emerged from a great battle for the lead in the 30th Annual Lucas Oil Show-Me 100 Presented by ProtectTheHarvest.com on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. Winning the first dirt late model crown jewel of his career, Ferguson is taking the record $50,000 payday back to North Carolina. The 30th Annual event was the richest first-place prize ever offered for the event co-sanctioned with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and the Lucas Oil MLRA. With 12 laps to go, the top seven drivers were on the same straightway when Ferguson went to the outside of Jonathan Davenport trying to pass him for the lead. Davenport made contact with Ferguson that sent Davenport spinning, bringing out the Stop Tech caution with 88 laps complete. On the restart Ferguson, who had started in tenth, pulled away for the win becoming the 18th different driver to win the sports first crown jewel event of 2022. Ricky Thornton, Jr. led four laps in the race but finished second earning a $20,000 payday for his SSI Motorsports Team. Defending series champion Tim McCreadie ran third after starting 17th. Jimmy Owens, a four-time Show-Me 100 winner was fourth and Chad Simpson, the Allstar Performance fastest qualifier for the weekend was fifth. Ferguson, who won at Wheatland in his first appearance at the "Diamond of Dirt Tracks" in the 2020 Diamond Nationals methodically worked his way through the field to put himself in contention for the win. "I don't know what to say, I am speechless. God is so great he put me in this situation. That was awesome, that was amazing. I am so thankful to be here for this. You fans are the best, thank you all for everything." "JD got kind of stuck behind those lap cars. I found a groove about a half-car-length out from everybody else. I rolled him (Davenport) in one and two and got door-to-door with him. I think we both got in hot, and we hit a little bit. It knocked the steering wheel out of my hand, but I was able to grab it back and keep the lead and I guess he didn't make out so well." "I hated it for him. I think we may have had a little better car than him. That was a heck of a battle. All the people that don't realize our cars are fast that showed them we are. For a long-time I have dreamed of being at this level. I feel like I can drive good enough to get it done." Thornton Jr, the reigning Dirt Track World Championship winner was close to picking up the second crown jewel event of his career, came home in second. "We came really close. It kind of stinks to run second, but we will take it. Congrats to Fergy on the win. He was really good, especially late. We had a really good car yesterday and that put us in a good starting position for tonight. I really wanted to pick up the win for Scott Coleman of Big River Steel, he was here, but we will definitely take a second." McCreadie, who was seeking his first Show-Me 100 victory passed the most cars during the race to round out the podium in third. "We went with a different tire combination, maybe me and two other guys in the field had it. When I pulled out on the front stretch, I thought we were in trouble. I knew I couldn't really get off the brown, so I just tried to drag the left sides through the brown as good as possible. I didn't want to overheat the tires. On the restarts I was amazing for 6 or 7 laps then I would fade so I would like to have had a few more restarts. My crew did a great job I am just the guy who gets to drive it."

- Johnny Scott Outduels Davenport at Lucas Oil Speedway on Friday Night
Wheatland, MO (May 27, 2022) - Johnny Scott and Jonathan Davenport put on a spirited battle for the race lead on Friday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. Scott and Davenport officially traded the lead six times during the 40-lap Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson, Show-Me 100 founders, in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and Lucas Oil MLRA sanctioned event to kick off the 30th Annual Show-Me 100 weekend. For Scott, the current MLRA points leader, it was his third win in that series in 2022 and his first career in Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series competition. The 32-year-old New Mexico resident took the lead for good on lap 32 from Davenport and pulled away for the victory. Davenport finished in second followed by Jimmy Owens, Hudson O'Neal, and Ricky Thornton Jr. Davenport grabbed the lead at the start of the main event, but a quick caution for Chris Ferguson halted the action with one lap scored. On the restart Davenport led Scott until lap 14 when Scott took his first lead of the race. On lap 16 Davenport bounced back to take the point, but Scott wasn't done as the two raced through traffic with Scott regaining the lead on lap 18. Scott's lead was short-lived as Davenport, the 2015 Show-Me 100 winner vaulted back in front on lap 23. It appeared as if Davenport would have clear sailing to the checkers, but Scott changed his line which allowed him to chase down Davenport and pass him for the final time on lap 32. Scott pulled away for a 2.446 second advantage at the finish. Scott now joins his twin brother Stormy as a Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series winner and was breathless in Lucas Oil Victory Lane. "There towards the end I needed to move my line up in three and four. It was rough on the bottom, and I couldn't get through there anymore. I saw JD was getting though the top in three and four pretty good, so I went up there and started reeling him in pretty good. I started diamonding one and two and I just started to hit my marks from there." "This win is huge. I have been out for the last month after hurting my back. I just want to thank my sponsors and crew for sticking with me. Hopefully we can keep this going and get a big win tomorrow night, I am gassed right now." Davenport, the three-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion took the runner-up position at the end. "He (Scott) did a great job there. I was just trying to find the smoothest way around the racetrack. The track had a whole lot of character tonight. My team gave me a good car again tonight. I just couldn't hang on like he could. He was a little bit better than us. The top was definitely the fastest line, we just struggled a little bit in the middle." Owens, a four-time Show-Me 100 winner came from seventh to round out the podium. "We have been struggling with this car, but it's been a good car. We are just learning what to do with it, I feel like we have made some leaps and bounds with this car this weekend and here in the last week."

Completing the top ten were Ashton Winger, Kyle Bronson, Garrett Alberson, Kolby Vandenbergh, and Chris Ferguson.

- Johnny Scott captures Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson as Show-Me 100 weekend opens
WHEATLAND, MO. (May 27, 2022) - Johnny Scott outlasted Jonathan Davenport in a wild and bouncy back-and-forth battle Friday night, capturing the 40-lap Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson on opening night of the 30th annual Show-Me 100 Presented by ProtecttheHarvest.com weekend at Lucas Oil Speedway. Scott made the decisive pass with eight laps remaining, the sixth and final lead change of the race, to take the $6,000 victory and set himself up with valuable points toward the starting lineup for Saturday night's record-paying $50,000-to-win 100-lap main event. "This win is huge," Scott said after his first career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory. The Lucas Oil MLRA Series points leader won the opening night of the 9th annual MLRA Spring Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway on April 22 and had not raced since that weekend due to a bad back. "I'm just glad to be back out here," Scott said. "Hopefully we can keep this rolling and try to win this thing tomorrow. Heck, I'm gassed right now. That was a rough track." A total of 63 Late Models checked into the pits - the most for the event since 2018 - representing 21 states. Davenport started outside of row one and grabbed the early lead before third-starting Scott used the inside groove to pass him at the start-finish line to complete lap five. The battle ensued from there with those two - and others - frequently bouncing through both ends of the the speedway. Several days of rain clearly had made the conditions rugged. Davenport, of Blairsville, Georgia, joked that Scott's ranching background in Las Cruces, New Mexico, made a difference. "I guess start riding bulls and horses and everything like he does," Davenport said, when asked what could have made a difference. "But no, he did a great job there. I was just trying to find the smoothest line around the race track." Those two jockeyed back and forth with Scott going back in front on lap 18 for the fourth lead change. Scott had a .625-second advantage on lap 21 when the race was red-flagged after third-place Mike Marler went backwards into the wall between turns one and two. Marler gingerly climbed out of the car and was checked over by safety personnel, his night finished and his car towed away. Ricky Thornton Jr. inherited third place for the restart with Ashton Winger fourth and Jimmy Owens fifth. As the race resumed, Davenport needed only two laps before taking the lead and he quickly opened up the biggest gap of the race, about 10 car lengths over Scott. But back came Scott, closing quickly and sailing past Davenport with a slide job in turns three and four on lap 32. Scott pulled away form there and prevailed by about 10 car lengths at the finish of the 40-lapper. Both Scott and Davenport were driving a Longhorn chassis. Scott said he saw Davenport, the 2015 Show-Me 100 winner, having success by going to the high side in turns three and four and decided to give it a shot. "I needed to move my line up in three and four. It got so rough on the bottom that I couldn't get through there," Scott said. "I saw 'JD' was getting through there pretty good and I went up there and started reeling him in, got by him and I just tried to hit my marks from there." Davenport called Lucas Oil Speedway "one of the nicest facilities in the world, but it had a whole lot of character tonight and wasn't very fun to drive on. We've still got 100 laps tomorrow so maybe they can make it a little more race-car friendly. "I just couldn't hang on like (Scott) could. He was a little bit better. I saw him bicycle two or three times getting into one on top. That was definitely the fastest line, but we just started going in the middle and trying to keep our stuff together for tomorrow." Four-time Show-Me 100 winner Owens finished third with defending Show-Me 100 champ Hudson O'Neal rallying from 13th to fourth. Ricky Thornton Jr. wound up fifth. Garrett Alberson improved 16 spots, moving from 24th to an eighth-place finish. Scott and Davenport will start on the front row of the 100-lapper with Owens and O'Neal on row two. Six-time Show-Me 100 winner Scott Bloomquist finished 15th in Friday's feature and will open the big main event on the inside of row eight. Chad Simpson was the first of the 63 drivers out and he posted Allstar Performance fast qualifying time, leading Group A at 15.068 seconds. Davenport led Group B with a fast time of 15.260. Simpson wound up 13th in the feature, which honored Don and Billie Gibson, the originators of the Show-Me 100 at West Plains Motor Speedway, where the race was held from 1993-2009. Drivers earned points on Friday for entering the event and attempting to compete, earning the fastest qualifying time in their group and for where they finished in the B-Main or A-Main. Those points combined will determine the lineups for Saturday night's finale and B-Mains. Middaugh captures USRA Modified win: Ryan Middaugh of Fulton grabbed the lead with four laps remaining and held off Dillon McCowan for the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified 20-lap feature victory. Middaugh finished one second in front of McCowan, who led 15 of the 20 laps and seemed to be in command of the race until numerous caution flags intervened. "I was just trying to find my way around those guys any way I could. Those restarts really helped me," said Middaugh, who advanced from a seventh-starting position to pick up his first feature win of the season after a pair of runner-up finishes. The feature had a tough time getting any kind of rhythm with four caution flags before three laps could be completed. Johnny Fennewald led the opening lap and McCowan went in front on lap two, swapping positions with his fellow front-row starter. McCowan had opened a 2.2-second lead by lap four when yet another caution waved. He then checked out to a 4.1-second lead over Tyler Davis when the sixth yellow appeared, on lap 13. Middaugh, who started seventh, moved around Davis on the restart was just over one second behind the leader when caution No. 7 came out with five laps to go. He took advantage of the opportunity and took over the lead on lap 16 - but couldn't pull away as another yellow slowed action. Middaugh held steady from there to beat McCowan with Davis third, Jared Russell fourth and Donnie Barnhart finishing fifth. "I kind of got the bottom rolling in three and fourth; I couldn't get it in one and two," Middaugh said. "I got to Dillon there and we had a caution. He just made one mistake and then I kind of took his line in three and four."

- HUGE WEEK FOR GRANT SEXTON - FIRST USAC RACE AND THEN GRADUATION
(Lakeside, CA, May 27, 2022) Sexton Gatlin Racing driver Grant Sexton is set for one of the biggest weeks of his young life. On Saturday he will journey to Perris Auto Speedway to make his first-ever appearance in a USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series race. Next Friday, June 3rd, the 17-year-old will graduate from Granite Hills High School. thumbnail.jpg Grant Sexton getting fitted in his car for Saturday night at Perris. SGR Photo. The 2021 season saw Sexton, the youngest member of the SGR team, win the championship in the POWRI Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series. He also top-scored the series on the victory side of the ledger with four wins in his championship campaign. That work earned him a ride in a Hyper house car for the prestigious Tulsa Shootout between Christmas and New Year. The initial plan for 2022 was not much different for the teenage racing sensation who lives in Lakeside, California. It included more lightning sprint car races with an eye on the possibility of moving up the racing ladder if an opportunity presented itself. Over the last two months, an opportunity indeed presented itself and it picked up momentum like a snowball turning into an avalanche. From not having any full-size sprint car equipment two months ago, SGR now proudly owns two chassis,' 410 and 360 engines, and a boatload of spares. When the young driver hits the track on Saturday, he will be driving an Ellis Chassis powered by a Johnny Motorhead 360 engine. While it will be his first appearance with USAC/CRA, Sexton made his full-size sprint car debut in the same car on April 16th. In storybook fashion, he won the main event that night at the Ventura Raceway. Prior to that evening, they took the car to Perris Auto Speedway for a shakedown practice. Likewise, they did so earlier this week in preparation for this week's race. Besides his win at Ventura in his full-size sprint car, Sexton has kept busy this season in lightning sprints. He stole the show at the March 25th California Lightning Sprint Car Series race at the Bakersfield Speedway. Battling from behind all race long, he braved an unforgiving cushion to chase down the race-long leader and pass him for the win less than two feet from the finish line. Four weeks ago tonight, he bested the field to win the Lucas Oil POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint main event at the Barona Speedway. Spectator gates for Sextons USAC debut will open at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. Adult tickets are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6 to 12 it is just $5.00 and children 5 and under are admitted free. The fairgrounds charges $10.00 for parking. There will be plenty of tickets available at the track on Saturday, this event will not sell out. For those who wish to purchase advance tickets, they are available at https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7 or by calling 1-800-595-4849. The track website is http://www.perrisautospeedway.com/ and the office phone number is (951) 940-0134. Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in Perris (92571). Sexton/Gatlin Racing would like to thank the following companies for making the 2022 season possible. Sexton Fire Protection, BK Wings, Johnny Motorhead, Troy Dirt, Victory Graphix, Swift Powdercoat, Maxima Oil, and an extra special thanks to Scotty and Jimmy Keys.

- THE STREAK CONTINUES: SCELZI WINS FOURTH STRAIGHT NARC RACE AT FASTEST FOUR DAYS IN MOTORSPORTS OPENER
(5/26/2022 - Alex Nieten) Central Point, OR... Entering the 2022 West Coast racing season one of the biggest questions was if Dominic Scelzi would replicate his 2021 "dream season" or if he'd "wake up." Well, it doesn't appear he plans on waking up anytime soon. Scelzi rolled to his fourth consecutive NARC Fujitsu General Sprint Car win and 19th overall in front of a packed house at Southern Oregon Speedway on Thursday night. With the victory, he became the first series winner in the Pacific Northwest since 2012 as the Oregon track kicked off the Fastest Four Days in Motorsports. It also marked his sixth consecutive podium to begin the season as he continues to extend his early season point lead in a bid for back to back championships. "I love racing in Oregon," Scelzi said. "It's my first win in Oregon, and it looks like we're going to have to come back every year." Scelzi started the race in second as pole sitter, Mitchell Faccinto, led the field to green. The leaders quickly got spread out early on and entered traffic on lap five. A tense moment for the leaders occurred on the sixth circuit as T.J. Winningham spun, forcing them to take evasive action and bringing out the race's first caution. On the next restart the leaders again became spaced out, and just as slower cars began to close the margin between Faccinto and Scelzi, the yellow again flew for Steven Snawder who slowed to a stop in turn four. The green flag flew with 20 to go, and while the action toward the front was limited, battles were fierce throughout the field as a collection of cars jockeyed for spots in the top-10. Scelzi pursued Faccinto as the duo navigated traffic. Scelzi matched Faccinto's every move, passing each slower car just as quick as Faccinto to ensure he couldn't escape. With just 11 laps to go heartbreak struck Faccinto. The race-long leader to that point smacked the wall out of turn two, which immediately shredded his right-rear tire. Faccinto limped the Tarlton Motorsports machine back to the pits and came back equipped with a new right-rear. The issue handed the top spot to Scelzi "I felt like I was kind of closing in on him (Faccinto)," Scelzi commented. "I was starting to diamond off of (turn) four and felt like I was closing in. I was trying to bide my time until we got to traffic. I was lucky I wasn't too close because I think I'd have got into him there off of (turn) two. He just got right and got into the wall, unfortunate for him. They were really good. I can't tell you I was going to pass him, but I feel like we were every bit as good as the 21. Sometimes you take a little luck." As the laps dwindled, Shane Golobic and Willie Croft waged war for third as Scelzi appeared to be headed toward an easy win as Justin Sanders trailed him. Then on the final lap Golobic's left-rear tire shredded bringing out the yellow once again and necessitating a green white checkered. Sanders got a decent jump on the restart and took a peek to Scelzi's inside entering turn one but couldn't quite make it work. Scelzi drove his Red Rose Transportation/Whipple Superchargers No. 41 across the line to take the checkered flag with a 1.425 second advantage. As an added bonus, Dominic completed a night of winning for the Scelzi family. "My brother (Gio) won by like 47 days at Selinsgrove (PA) tonight," Scelzi said with a smirk. "I couldn't let him outdo me." Sanders brought the Farmers Brewing/Mittry Construction No. 2X home second, equaling his best NARC finish of the year. The Aromas, CA native felt a long green flag run could've resulted in him parking in victory lane at night's end. "No yellows, I think," Sanders said of what he needed to win. "I was terrible on those restarts. My car would just lay right. I was tight for about 10 laps and just couldn't get a good run going. When I had a long green flag run I was actually able to pull up to those guys." Completing the podium was Willie Croft, his second straight top-three after his runner-up last weekend at Petaluma. "I was like Justin and Dominic, just running the high side on the restart and getting tight," Croft said of his night. "So, I wanted to go to the bottom just to try it, and I got side by side with Shane and actually, I believe, got by him at one point, but he got me back. I knew his tire was going down. I thought he was going to make it, but obviously it blew out in front of me."

- Alex Pokorski continues speed search at Plymouth Dirt Track
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 24, 2022 - With the national touring Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions 410 Sprint Car Series making its annual visit to The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds along with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series, Alex Pokorski and the Akright Auto Racing Team experienced an up-and-down type of night in the Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car division on Saturday, May 21. With a solid showing of 31 PDTR 360 Sprint Cars signed in for the all-Sprint Car two-division program, Pokorski turned in the 17th-fastest lap in PDTR 360 Sprint Car group qualifying to earn the sixth starting spot in the third 10-lap heat race. The third-year 360 Sprint Car competitor got the jump on fifth starter Katelyn Krebsbach to seize fifth place in turn one of the opening lap. Pokorski maintained the fifth spot throughout the remaining of the race on a fast and narrow racing surface. After advancing one position in his heat race, Pokorski collected enough passing points to transfer directly into the 25-lap PDTR 360 Sprint Car A main, where he rolled off from the 16th starting position. With the inside lane serving as the preferred line, Pokorksi stayed low throughout the majority of the race as he moved up to 15th following a caution on lap 15. On the ensuing restart, Pokorski fell back to 18th in the running order after starting on the outside of the eighth row. Pokorski regrouped to pull off a last-lap pass of Anthony Knierim to secure 17th at the finish of the race, which was won by Justin Erickson. "The car felt really good for the heat race and I was happy to make the A-main directly out of the heat race," Pokorski said. "The car was a bit of a handful in the A main. The track was also very one-lane around the bottom, so it was difficult to gain spots. I had moved up a few spots and then lost a couple spots restarting on the outside. I think we have a better sense of how to set up this car now, so hopefully we can be faster moving forward." Pokorski and the Akright Auto Racing Team will return to action with the Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Cars this Saturday, May 28 on Military Night with all members of the U.S. Military gaining free admission with valid identification. Spectator gates open at 4:30 p.m. with PDTR 360 Sprint Car hot laps/group qualifying at 5:30 p.m. and racing at 6 p.m. Alex Pokorski - Akright Auto Racing Team supporter Pedal Down Promotions will be the trophy sponsor for the May 28 PDTR program.

- KENNY EDKIN SCORES BUD BRICKER NATIONALS VICTORY FOR FIRST WIN SINCE JUNE 2021
YORK HAVEN, Pa.: Kenny Edkin has been a consistent winner at BAPS Motor Speedway for a solid four or five-year stretch in the Super Sportsman division. That changed a bit in the last year. Edkin's last victory at the York Haven, Pa., facility came on June 26th of the 2021 season. Since then, other competitors have stepped up, and Edkin's had some mechanical issues along the way. There has been more speed this season. Still, Edkin hasn't been able to crack Victory Lane despite a series of top-three finishes. Edkin erased all of his past setbacks during Saturday's Bud Bricker Nationals presented by FK Rod Ends. The Marysville, Pa., driver slipped past Jay Fannasy and drove away to score his second straight win in the event and a $5,000 payday. "After a while, you start to doubt yourself," Edkin said. "We haven't won since last year, and it's kind of odd for us. We are usually pretty good at clicking them off, and we went on a run last year. We didn't end the season the way we wanted to, and to start this season, you couldn't get some parts. "We have been struggling for four weeks or so, at least for us because we are used to winning races. We haven't been out of the top three since opening night, but it's hard. We are living in a wild time, and you can't get what you used to buy, and you've got to kind of suffice." Continued Edkin, "I, finally, got to the point where I was like, 'I'm not ready to go to the track if we aren't going to have what we need to win.' We pulled some strings, got what we needed, and here we are." Fannasy started on the pole and beat Tyler Wolford into the first corner. Before the lap could be scored, Allan Hallman and Eric Rutz crashed on the frontstretch. The second attempt at a start was much like the first. Fannasy surged into the first corner on the top and pulled out to the lead. Edkin, who started fourth, settled into third before taking second from Wolford on Lap 3. Edkin continued to chop into Fannasy's lead. The job got a little easier on Lap 13, when Glenn Keller spun in the second corner. Fannasy managed to keep the top spot on the restart. Edkins remained within striking distance and made the winning past on the 15th circuit with a slider through the first and second corner. "Before we got the caution, I thought we were going to have a pretty good race," Edkin said. "I was kind of biding my tires, because the track has been a little abrasive on tires this season. It's been really racy, but we are going really fast and really using up tires. "I was keeping that in the back of my mind and tried not to slide the tires, try not to spin them. You never know, and you can get a double-file restart with a lap to go, and you've got to have some tire left at the end of the race." Fannasy stayed close, but Edkin had the field covered. The multi-time BAPS Super Sportsman champion held on the rest of the way and took the checkered by 2.330 seconds over Fannasy and Scott Dellinger. Tony Jackson and Chase Gutshall completed the top five. Edkin set quick time for the 25-car field with a lap of 17.766. Wolford, Edkin, and Matt Ondek were heat winners. Tommy Slanker charged from 12th to the lead to take the checker in the 20-Lap Creekside Auto Sales 358 Late Model main event. Unfortunately for Slanker, he didn't pass post-race inspection, and the win was handed to Wayne Pfeil. Dan Zechman led the first eight laps of the main event. After a caution for Matt Murphy, Slanker, who was riding around the cushion in Turns 1 and 2 and used the middle at the other end of the speedway, slipped by on Lap 9. Pfeil was methodical on his way to the front. He started fifth on the grid and charged into second on the 11th circuit. Slanker took the win by .467 seconds, but Pfeil was awarded the win after the tech process. Chase Billet, Charles Potts, Joey Hoffer, and D.J. Mease completed the top five. Pfeil, Mease, and Zechman were heat winners for the 27-car field. The most entertaining main event of the night came courtesy of the Gene Latta Ford Central Pa. Legends presented by Baker Door Company. Jorjie Sweger won an entertaining battle with Travis McClelland and took the win by a mere .003 seconds at the stripe. Sweger started 11th on the grid and took the lead on Lap 11 of 15. She led the final five circuits of her slugfest with McClelland to claim her fifth straight win at the speedway. McClelland settled for second, with Bob Stough, Bill Diehl, and Austin Bellemare completing the top five. Mike Racine, McClelland, Sweger, and Shaun Abney were heat winners for the 36-car field. In Street Stock action, Stan Wanner topped the 14-car field for the popular victory. He claimed the main event by 1.939 seconds after taking the lead from Chris Derr on the 17th circuit of the 25-Lap affair. Ryan Bloom, Brian Rehbein, Jim Jacobs, and George Heller completed the top five. There were five cautions over the race distance. BAPS Motor Speedway York Haven, Pa.

- Kammermann Gets First Win At Antioch Speedway, Ryland, Robles, Newton Other Winners
Antioch, CA...May 21... Devan "The Hammer" Kammermann picked up his first career 20 lap Delta Dwarf Car Main Event win Saturday night at Antioch Speedway. With incoming leader Danny Wagner being eliminated in an early crash, Kammermann was able to pull to within four points of the lead in the championship battle. The Main Event got off to a rough and tumble start with a pair of yellow flags before things got going. Travis Day led the way on the opening lap ahead of David Rosa and David Michael Rosa. An inside move in in Turn 3 gained the younger Rosa second from his father with Kammerman following into third. Day already had about a half-straightaway lead, and Kammermann went low in Turn 2 on Lap 6 to take second from Rosa. The battle for the lead soon began as an inside pass on the backstretch put Chance Russell into third on Lap 10. Day had his hands full with Kammerman when a yellow flag waved for Joe Tardiff and David Michael Rosa on Lap 12. Kammermann went low in Turn 2 on the restart lap and Day pushed high. Kammermann emerged with the lead over Russell and David Rosa. Russell surrendered second to David Michael Rosa on Lap 19, but Kammermann wasn't giving up the lead as he brought it home to the satisfying win. David Michael Rosa ended up second. Russell faded late as Day ended up third ahead of Toby Brown and Kylee Johnson. Fred Ryland was awarded his second 20 lap IMCA Stock Car Main Event win of the season after apparent winner Andrew Pearce was disqualified in post race tech. Ryland had to start back in the fifth row as heat race winner Dan Gonderman led IMCA Sport Modified point leader Pearce and Dave Hill early on. Pearce made an inside pass on Gonderman for the lead on Lap 4. Joe Gallaher went low in Turn 2 for third on Lap 9. The yellow flag waved for debris, and Pearce continued to lead Gonderman and Gallaher on the restart. Ryland soon found his way into fourth and had a big 14th lap that saw him go low in Turn 4 to take second from Gonderman. However, a yellow flag flew for Jason Jennings moments later. Pearce led Ryland and Gonderman on the restart, but Gonderman lost third to Travis Dutra on Lap 16. After Pearce and fourth place finisher Gallaher were disqualified, Ryland got the win ahead of Dutra, Gonderman, Jason Robles and Jennings. Kenneth Robles won the 20 lap Pacific Coast General Engineering Hobby Stock Main Event. Incoming point leader Misty Welborn was the early leader ahead of Brad Coelho. Following a yellow flag on Lap 2 for multiple tangles in Turn 4, Welborn led Robles on the restart. Coelho brought out a yellow flag to end his race moments later. Welborn continued to lead Robles on the restart with the battle heating up. Robles and Welborn were going side by side when a yellow flag waved for Jess Paladino on Lap 8. Robles took the lead from Welborn on the restart, and Welborn would end up pitting during a Lap 10 caution. On the next restart, reigning champion Larry McKinzie Jr moved into second behind Robles as young Aiden Ponciano held third. Robles went on to the victory with McKinzie a much needed second as he recharges his championship hopes. Poinciano was a career best third, followed by Mitchell Dana and Jason Ryan Jr. Shannon Newton won the 15 lap Wingless Spec Sprint Main Event. It was a short field due to a scheduling conflict. As James East took the early lead, Zack Neeley, Bob Newberry and Newton battled fiercely for second. Newberry went low in Turn 3 to grab the spot, and Neeley brought out of a yellow flag moments later. East continued to lead Newberry on the restart, but Newton began to make his presence known. Newton went high in Turn 1 to grab second and made an inside pass on the backstretch on Lap 10 to take the lead from East. Newberry headed for the pits as Newton stretched his advantage over East in victory. Neeley settled for third. Racing continues this Saturday night with the IMCA Modifieds back in action along with the IMCA Sport Modifieds, the Xtreme Limited Late Model Series and the Super Stocks.

This Crown Jewel event will pay a record $50,000 to the winner on Saturday night, with a total purse of over $233,000 over the three days. In Wheatland, MO, a town with a population of under 400, lies an immaculate 3/8-mile oval facility known as "The Diamond of Dirt Tracks". This weekend when the nation's top dirt late model drivers invade Lucas Oil Speedway, the transient population greatly increases.

Drivers will earn points in each of the two preliminary nights; those points combined will determine the line-ups for Saturday night's $50,000-to-win, $2,000-to-start finale. The Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds will be featured as the support class each night.

Josh Richards came from the sixth starting spot to pass Brian Shirley on the sixth lap to dominate Friday Night's Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson.

- Chad Homan and Jim Harbison Outrun the Rain at Genesee
Rich Vleck, BATAVIA, NY, (May 21, 2022)- With thunder and lightning surrounding the Genesee County Fairgrounds, six classes of competition were able to execute a full show in under 2.5 hours; when the final checkered flag fell, the skies opened up as a thunderstorm soon soaked the Genesee Speedway as the race winners packed their cars up in the pits after visiting victory lane. The Late Models ran the final feature of the night and with the rain closing in, it was a question if the 25-lap feature would even be run to its conclusion. Just before the halfway point of the event a caution flag came out for Jimmy Johnson and Jon Rivers coming together. That yellow flag would bunch up the field and allow Chad Homan to start alongside race leader Bill Holmes for a double-file restart as the race was not yet to halfway. On the ensuing restart, Homan found bite on the bottom and took the lead as they came to the cross flags and soon-there-after another caution flag. Over the second half of the race Homan was untouchable and would run off to the victory in his first appearance at Genesee this year. "I wasn't sure the bottom line was going to work because I had seen some rubber up on the top, but starting sixth I had to try something," said Homan in Victory Lane. "We came here just to tune up for the RUSH (Late Model Tour) race next week and got a win!" While it was his first trip to Batavia in 2022, it was Homan's 7th win in eight tries this year. As he was driving away, Brady Wonderling was able to drive up to second after starting in eighth. Bill Holmes would hold off Doug Ricotta for third while Jimmy Johnson rallied from the back to round out the top five. Through the first three Sportsman races of the season, Phil Vigneri III, Jim Harbison and Cameron Tuttle had each picked up a feature win; on Saturday night that trio battled it out to see which of them would collect their second. In the end it was Jim Harbison keeping Tuttle at bay to capture the win. Harbison, of Ransomville, took the lead at the start of the race from the outside pole from Dave Conant while Tuttle used the bottom to move up to second a few laps later. After what would be the race's only caution on lap five, Harbison chose the outside for the restart. The driver of the No. 18w would use the high groove in turns one and two to pull back in front then crossed down to the bottom in the third and fourth corners to reestablish his advantage and would never relinquish it from there. "(Multi-time track champion) Kyle Inman used to tell me that you race on the bottom, but you restart on the top here, so that's what I did," said Harbison in Victory Lane. As good as Harbison's lap six restart was, Tuttle, along with Vigneri were able to reel in the leader in the closing laps; and with lapped traffic in front of the group, Harbison had to choose wisely to hang on to the lead. With two laps to go he got out of the top groove and went underneath a lapped car which would prove to be the winning move as he would capture the checkered flag over Tuttle and Vigneri close behind. Dave Conant and Kyle Richner would complete the top five. To open the 2022 season, defending Street Stock Champion Bill Taylor had finished all three features in the runner-up spot; on Saturday Night, despite getting caught up in two heavy crashes, he was able to keep his car on the track and found his way up to the front to capture his first win of the year. Taylor, of Arcade, was caught up in a lap two incident where he got spun in turn two and was t-boned by Jesse Qutermous, the driver he shared the division championship with in 2020. Qutermous was unable to continue, while Taylor rejoined at the back. On lap five, Sherman Gage spun in turn two and Taylor knocked off the entire rear deck of the No. 21s. Gage was unable to continue, while Taylor kept his No. 1 in the event. On the ensuing restart, Taylor was back up to third and on the charge to the front. Just after halfway, he was able to run down Mike Kelly and pass him to take the lead. There was no challenging the point leader over the second half of the race as he went on to get the win. Kelly would finish in second, his best career feature result. Jacob Vick's third place result was also a career-best effort. Dale Rissinger and Ron Mogavero rounded out the top five. The crowd was on their feet for most of the Mini Stock Feature as Olivia Coniber held off the top two in points to score her first career feature win in the division. Coniber, of Corfu, had Bill Weller Jr, last week's winner applying pressure to her bumper down the stretch but could not find a way by the No. 004. On the final lap, Weller dove down to the bottom coming off the fourth corner and tried to out drag race the leader, coming up just .051 seconds short, a matter of one foot at the line. James Gayton would finish in third while Eric Brumsted and Robert Knapp II rounded out the top five. Greenley George captured her first Novice Sportsman win at Genesee leading wire-to-wire to claim the checkered flag. George took the lead from Casey Jonathan on the opening circuit then held off Allison Dewitt down the stretch, who had won the first three events of the year. Dewitt would settle for second while Bailey Logsdon rounded out the podium. The Bandits ran the first feature of the night and had easily the wildest finish of the night. Jaeden Tarr started on the pole, however it was not until the final corner that he took over the lead, but that was still good enough to capture his first career win. Tyler Foster led the opening lap but had an issue on the second circuit which allowed Jonathan Logsdon to take over the lead. Logsdon would lead as the field received the white flag with Tyler Foster chasing him back down but in turns 3 and 4 Foster got in to the leader and the duo pushed over the banking, allowing the No. 88 of Tarr to slip on by. Behind Tarr at the lead would be Morgan Coniber for second and Nicholas Lipome, who rounded out the top three.

- JEFF DYER GETS ANOTHER CLS SECOND-PLACE FINISH AT BAKERSFIELD
(Yucca Valley, CA, May 20, 2022) Jeff Dyer continued his pursuit of the 2022 California Lightning Sprint Car Series championship with his third straight second-place finish at the Bakersfield Speedway last Saturday night. In addition to the CLS side of the program, Dyer also raced his 410 sprint car and finished 14th in the companion USAC/CRA main event. 280524714_3104555146462480_1116574500896404848_n.jpg Jeff Dyer and his wife Christina before last Saturday's race at Bakersfield. Saturday's race was Dyer's fifth of the year in the CLS and his performances have been phenomenal. In addition to his three second-place finishes, he also has a third and a fourth. Dyer came out of Saturday's race 79-points out of first in the championship standings. However, he has missed one race while the point leader has not. As the CLS has a one-race throw-away rule in 2022. Dyer's throw-out race will be the one he missed. At the beginning of the night, Dyer recorded the fastest time in West Evans Motorsports CLS qualifying with a lap of 12.908. Not only was that faster than all the CLS cars, but it was also faster than all the 410 USAC/CRA Sprint Cars as well. Dyer followed the qualifying effort in his familiar #4 with a third-place finish in his heat. For the main, the retired United States Army Demolitions Expert started fifth. He quickly advanced to third. On lap eight, the second-place car got caught in lapped traffic. Veteran Dyer took full advantage of the situation, raced by, and set his sights on the leader. The distance between the leader and Dyer quickly dwindled. Suddenly, Dyer was within striking distance, and he tried to knife his way inside in turn one on the 10th lap. The leader thwarted the effort and pulled away. At that point, most in the crowd thought the race for the lead was over. Dyer, who recently turned 40, had other ideas. The pacesetter got caught behind lapped traffic on the 14th go around. As soon as he did, Dyer was camping on his tail tank. He tried to pass for the lead on the inside in turn one, but once again, the leader held him at bay before motoring away. That was not going to be the end of the story. As the laps dwindled down, Dyer seemingly was not going to catch the first-place driver. However, with two laps to go, he was coming on like a runaway freight train. Just as he was about to mount another challenge, a lapped car drifted into Dyer's path forcing him to slow down. With only two laps to go, it was too late for Dyer to rebuild his momentum and he took another second place. Dyer moved forward more than any other driver in the main event and was the Speed Mart/Advanced Racing Suspension "Hard Charger." When the 25-lap CLS race ended, Dyer returned to his pit and jumped into his 410 USAC/CRA Sprint Car. The veteran driver started 19th in a race that was plagued with multiple yellows and one red flag. With chaos all around him, the Yucca Valley, California resident stayed out of the trouble and came home 14th. This Saturday, Dyer will continue his pursuit of the CLS title when the series makes a stop at the Ventura Raceway. For fans who would like to attend Saturday's show, adult tickets are $22.00. Seniors 60 and over, military with id, and students with id get in for $18.00. Kids 12 and under are free when accompanied by an adult.

On May 28th, he will jump back into his USAC/CRA 410 sprint car for the annual Salute to Indy at Perris Auto Speedway. As usual, Dyer is not the only member of the family who will be competing this Saturday. His son Seth will be racing at Wheel2Wheel Raceway in Victorville, where he is fifth in the restrictor class championship standings. Last Saturday night, the teen finished fifth in the main event.

- Max Blair wins for a third straight time at Bloomsburg Fair Raceway in World of Outlaws Late Model 40-lap main; Austin Reed wins thrilling 305 Sprint feature
(BLOOMBURG 5-19-22): Max Blair had this weekend circled since joining the World of Outlaws CASE Construction Equipment Late Model Series. Thursday night at Bloomsburg Fair Raceway was his first chance to bring his home state fans to their feet—and he delivered. The Centerville, PA driver thundered past pole-sitter Jeff Rine on Lap 1, leading all 40 laps en route to his second World of Outlaws victory of the season—and third at Bloomsburg Fair Speedway. Blair is the only driver to win a Super Late Model race at the track, a perfect three-for-three. He stated that experience played a role in his victory. "Having some prior experience at this place was huge," Blair said. "It races different than any place I've ever been. "I felt like the first time I was here, it took a while to get the handle of it, so I think being here was a big deal. I don't know how much I've really applied setup-wise, but driving-wise, it was an advantage." However, his experience wasn't the only factor leading Blair to the checkered flag. He had some luck on his side toward the end. "We actually have a flat tire," Blair said. "The right rear was going down on that last caution. I thought I could feel it lean over more and more, and it's flat now. So, we got a little lucky there, that's for sure. But that was a heck of a start to the weekend." While Blair took home his fifth career World of Outlaws triumph, the man he's chasing in the points standings, Dennis Erb Jr., finished behind him in second. Erb quickly powered into the top-five from his seventh starting spot, hoping to strike for his second World of Outlaws win of the season. He challenged Blair for a few laps before settling for second. "I was trying to make sure we held everything together," Erb said. "We started back there a little but was able to get up there quick and race up there, so I was just kind of holding on to make sure not to overdo it but also make a challenge or two," he continued. "We had a good car, and [Blair] was really just going to have to make a mistake. I was real good in [Turn 1 and 2], and he pushed up a couple of times, and you never know what's going to happen, so we had to be right there." With the win, Blair gained four points on Erb—cutting the deficit to 94. Four-time Series champion Josh Richards crossed the line third, his second straight podium finish after a third at Mississippi Thunder Speedway. Tanner English finished fourth, and 2015 Series Champion Shane Clanton rounded out the top five. Ryan Gustin set a new track record for Late Models at 14.966-seconds. A total of 16 total cars eclipsed the previous mark held by Jeff Rine which was 15.786-seconds. Gustin, Blair, Rine and Gregg Satterlee copped heat wins. Kyle Hammer and Shaun Jones annexed the twin Last Chance Showdowns. Austin Reed of Etters scored a rousing win in the 305 Sprint feature in a race that provided plenty of action and drama throughout the 25-lap distance. From start to finish there was excitement taking place all around the 3/8-mile dirt oval and much of it centered on the battle for the lead. Reed, who started ninth, took over the front spot six laps from the finish when then leader Paul Moyer suddenly lost power and dropped out. Afterwards he made sure to hit his marks perfectly and was able to hold off hard charging Domenic Melair who was closing fast in the waning laps. "I was just trying to bide my time and see where I was the fastest. I could see that I could really run into the corners hard and get a little bite coming off," said Reed. "My guys gave me a real good car and I have to thank them for getting me going this year. In only wish my mom, dad, son and wife could have been here. We're excited and we'll take it." At the outset Jeff Cavalet and Moyer shared the front row but before a single lap was scored the red waved for Josh Spicer who flipped in Turn 2. On the restart Moyer jumped to the early lead and within the first few laps was being hotly pursued by Ryan Kissinger. Their battle was intense as laps were contested in side-by-side fashion with Kissinger trying several times to take Moyer on the inside. With nine laps in the lead pair came upon the slower car of Levi Brungard and they then split their way by him going through Turn 3. Kissinger made his pass on Brungard on the low side of the track and when he did made slight contact. Brungard then spun to bring out a caution and while under the yellow Kissinger had to make an unexpected pit stop due to a cut right rear tire from the contact and ended any hopes of a good finish. On the restart Moyer was ahead of Jeff Weaver and Reed. As Moyer held his ground Reed was able to slip by Weaver for second and soon began his assault towards the leader. However, with six laps to go Moyer suddenly slowed off the pace and pulled off with mechanical woes, giving up the top spot to Reed. Although Reed was now in charge his race was far from over as Melair had everyone's attention as he had stormed from 17th and was now in second spot and closing quickly. Reed though remained vigilant in his quest to win and held on for a very gratifying yet close victory. "It feels good to get a win our first time ever here, I never had even come to the Bloomsburg Fair so this is awesome to be here with this crowd and with the World of Outlaws racing the same night," said Reed. "This is definetley a badass race track. I like how through the night they tried to work on it and get some of the ruts out of it for us and with our class it's really racy and fun."

- Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: USRA Stock Cars the latest addition to Dean Wille's racing resume
WHEATLAND, MO. (May 18, 2022) - Dean Wille was watching a video replay of his recent O'Reilly Auto Parts Stock Cars feature victory at Lucas Oil Speedway when track announcers Corey Riggs and Shane Friebe mentioned that Wille had won at 10 different tracks during a 30-year racing career. Wille had to hit the pause button and think about it for a minute. "I've raced here, there and everywhere," Wille said. "But I heard that and thought, 'Have I really won at 10 tracks?' I started counting and was like, 'Yeah, I guess I have.' "That was my first win at Lucas," Wille added. "I've raced there a handful of times with my A Mod. We've had some good runs there, but not any wins. So it's good to say we have a win there now." The veteran driver from Warrensburg, a one-time football player at the University of Central Missouri, looks to make it two on Saturday night when the USRA Stock Cars are the headline class of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series, going 25 laps for $750 to win. It will be Ozarks Coca-Cola/Dr Pepper Night at the Races with the Hermitage Lumber Late Models, Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds and Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods also in action as points battles resume. Wille has driven just about every type of race car during his career. He started in Street Stocks and moved to Modifieds before helping launch the B-Mod division at Central Missouri Speedway several years ago. A banner season was 2012 when he captured 14 races in his A Mod and he still has a car for the USRA Modified class. But the USRA Stock Car class caught his eye, especially after business partner at Gator Graphics James McMillin got involved in it and had success a year ago. "I really like them because of their simplicity," Wille said of the Stock Cars. "There's not a lot on the set-up side of it. There's quite a few things you can do to make it handle, but you don't have a lot of guess work on making them handle. They're more of a driver's car, even more so than the B Mod. "In the B-Mod have to drive car completely wide-open all the time and you have to have your set-up spot-on. The Stock Car, the driver makes more of a difference than the set-up does." Wille said he noticed that even on different tracks that are one-groove for other divisions, the Stock Cars usually are able to race side by side. That not only appeals to the fans, but to the drivers. He's found the racing to be mostly clean despite the close competition. "For the most part, they don't want to tear the car up," he said. "The guys figure out real quick it's not fun doing body work. They're racing hard and fast, but everybody's not out there running over each other. Wille said running for points at Lucas Oil Speedway probably is not realistic because he missed opening night while still getting his newly purchased Scotty Allen Autosports car ready. "So it will be tough to run for points there, although I'll probably run most every night there the rest of the year," Wille said, adding that USRA national points are something he might take a look at later in the season. "We'll have to see how many nights we end up getting to race, with other things going on," Wille said. "At the end of the season they take your best 20 nights with USRA and I like that. We've started off pretty good. We'll see. More than anything, we're racing to have fun." Wille said he plans to break the Modified out next week on the first two nights of Show-Me 100 weekend as the division runs as a support class. Along with Gator Graphics, Wille's sponsors include Cuttin' Up Meat Processing, Royal Roofing & Solar, Fairway Mortgage and Swishers. Gates open at 4 p.m. Saturday with hot laps set for 6:30 and opening ceremonies at 7. The second of four scheduled Kids Power Wheel races are set for intermission.

- BENDER WINS LIGHTNING SPRINT MAIN AND DONATES ENTIRE PURSE
(Torrance, CA, May 16, 2022) San Diego's A.J. Bender made it two wins in three races in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series at the Bakersfield Speedway last Saturday night. On Monday, after reading that Lemoore Jet Bowl Raceway's favorite flag man Micah Smith was recently diagnosed with cancer, the classy team donated its entire purse to help his family with expenses. 281468739_5488389217871304_6933729375676488188_n.jpg A.J. Bender's winning steed after the CLS main event last Saturday at the Bakersfield Speedway. When Bender and team owner Mike Schweitzer pull into the pits for a CLS race, the competitors must take a big gulp and sigh. This year, they have won two of the first three CLS races at Bakersfield. Last season, despite running a limited schedule due to having a regular ride in the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series, Bender tied for the series lead in victories with four. Conspicuous by his absence on Saturday was point leader Eric Greco of Palmdale. The young driver was feeling under the weather and was unable to make the show. While Greco was absent, a pleasant surprise to see in the pit area was two-time series champion Jarrett Kramer of Spring Valley. Driving a car owned by fellow champion Bobby Michnowicz, Kramer was making his first CLS start since his second series title in 2019. Yucca Valley's Jeff Dyer, who has gotten off to a great start in 2022 with two second-place finishes, a third, and a fourth in his first four races, picked up the West Evans Motorsports Fast Time Award with a lap of 12.805. Camarillo's Cody Nigh was second fastest at 12.946 and Bender was third at 13.029. In a battle of the champions, 2021 titlist David Gasper of Santa Barbara beat Kramer in the Extreme Mufflers Heat Race #1. Dyer placed third. In CSI Shocks Heat Race #2, Michnowicz, who calls Oak Hills home, crossed the line first with Nigh and series leading rookie Will Browne of Glendora third. Ironically, the two heat race winners each broke before the main events at the first two races at Bakersfield this year. For the 25-lap main event, Browne was on the pole and Michnowicz was slated to start alongside. However, the 5-time champ's water pump gave up the ghost and he was unable to start. That moved Nigh to the outside of row one. Bender manned the inside of the second row and was joined by Kramer. Row three featured Dyer and rookie Connor Speir of Fillmore. Browne raced into the lead at the drop of the green flag at "The West's Fastest 1/3 Mile High Banked Clay Oval" and he proceeded to lead the first two circuits. Running on the bottom, Bender, in the Mike Schweitzer owned Abacas/BillMell.com Real Estate Services/Van's Logging/Watkins Construction/M&P Environmental/Oil Well Service/Elite Signs/Yoshimura #41B, stalked the newcomer from the outset. Running the outside, Brown left the bottom wide open and Bender breezed by for the lead coming off the second corner on lap three. Browne stayed in the second-place spot until the eighth circuit when he got trapped behind a lapped car. That allowed Dyer, who came into the night with two straight second-place finishes, to pass for the runner-up position. In what became a recurring theme in the main event, Dyer chased down Bender for the lead. He tried to sneak by on the inside in turn 1 on the 10th lap. The leader was equal to the challenge and thwarted that effort. Moments later, Kramer dropped out of the race. By lap 13, Bender had constructed a decent size lead, but he could not rest on his laurels as Dyer was not about to give up. In fact, when Bender was briefly held up by lapped traffic on lap 14, Dyer came calling again. He tried the inside, but one more time, Bender fought off the challenge. Bender pulled away and by the 19th go around, he had established a half straightaway lead. It looked like he was going to sail the remainder of the way unchallenged. However, someone forgot to tell Dyer that. The retired United States Army Demolitions Expert refused to give up and mounted one last, serious challenge. He reeled the leader in for the third time and was about to make another attempt on lap 23. However, coming off turn four, a lap car impeded his progress and ended his victory hopes. Bender and Dyer, both of whom were also racing on the USAC/CRA portion of the program, took the checkers in first and second. Nigh, who was closing on Dyer over the last five laps, took third. Browne placed fourth and Gasper was fifth. Dyer went from fifth to second in the 25-lapper and received the Speed Mart and Advanced Racing Suspensions "Hard Charger" awards. "I was a little nervous to go to the top because Dyer showed me his nose on the bottom," the affable winner told the crowd after the race. "I was planning on running the top, but this thing was so great on the bottom. I cannot thank the Schweitzer family enough. They make it easy for me (to jump back and forth between cars)." The CLS is headed back to the Ventura Raceway for the third time in 2022 this Saturday, May 21st. Nigh, who has been around the picturesque track since he was a toddler, comes home as the new point leader. He holds a 79-point lead over Dyer in the season-long point standings. Defending champion Gasper is up to third with Greco and Brown comprising the remainder of the top five For fans who would like to attend Saturday's show at Ventura, adult tickets are $22.00. Seniors 60 and over, military with id and students with id get in for $18.00. Kids 12 and under are free when accompanied by an adult.

- Racing Resumes Saturday Night At Antioch Speedway
Antioch, CA...After four days of fun and excitement at the Contra Costa County Fair and a Destruction Derby at the race track last Saturday, auto racing resumes this Saturday night at Antioch Speedway. The Pacific Coast General Engineering Hobby Stocks return to action along with the IMCA Stock Cars, Delta Dwarf Cars and the Wingless Spec Sprints. The biggest car count has been provided by the Hobby Stock division this season. The last time out, they delivered over 30 drivers. Thanks to her three wins, Misty Welborn sets the pace in the standings by 10 markers ahead of Michaela Taylor. Taylor and third ranked Taylor DeCarlo both have a pair of Top 5 finishes and are on the cusp of getting their first wins in the division. DeCarlo is only a dozen points back. Reigning champion Larry McKinzie Jr has been involved in a couple of crack-ups to keep him 22 points out of the lead in fourth, two ahead of Jared Baugh. Both drivers have been fast this year and could be a threat to win on Saturday night. Jess Paladino is still getting used to the Hobby Stock division. He is the 2020 Mini Stock champion. He only ran 10 times last season, but he managed to get three Top 5 finishes in Main Event competition. This is his first full season. Competing for a win and ranking high in the standings are two goals for Paladino. He's currently 7th in the standings, 32 tallies behind the leader. The last time out, Paladino didn't make it out of the B Main, but he had one of his more impressive moments as he took the lead for a lap on the strength of an outside pass in Turn 2. He has four Top 10 finishes in his four starts this year. A look at the IMCA Stock Cars finds reigning champion Travis Dutra still leading the way by five points ahead of Jason Robles and 14 in front of Joe Gallaher. After missing a race, Kellen Chadwick has fallen 38 points back in fourth aboard the Rich Quadrelli car. He got a third last time out. The last start was another second place for Dutra, who's looking for the win this week. He may have to beat Robles to do it as Robles won for the second time at the previous event. Dutra and the rest of the group should take notice of Robles. In 2005 and 2006, he ranked third in Hobby Stock points, and he was also second in the standings a year later, racking up 13 wins during that time. If he sets his sights on this championship, Robles may be hard to beat. The Delta Dwarf Cars are never short when it comes to excitement. They've run four races, and three have been won by two-time champion Danny Wagner. He is 20 points ahead of Devan Kammermann, who may be getting tired of seconds and thirds at this point. The young gun has two of each, giving him a 38 point lead over third ranked Chance Russell, who is two points in front of Ellie Russo and 12 markers ahead of Street Stock legend David Rosa. Back in eighth is Sean Catucci. The Brentwood driver is as fast as they come. He had a third place finish at the third event this year, but he also suffered a DNF at the race prior to that. Contact sent him on his roof in Turn 4. Sean is hot on the trail of his first Antioch win since 2020, though he did get a win at Petaluma last year. Catucci is definitely one of the more exciting drivers to watch among the group. They always deliver a good show for the fans. One of the things talked about quite a bit at the race track booth during the Contra Costa County Fair was the fact that Wingless Spec Sprint racing in California started at Antioch Speedway in 1999. Division original Rick Panfil was in that lineup and had his car on display. The personable Panfili was meeting the fans and helping the track pass out flyers during all four days, and he's looking forward to coming out to compete this Saturday night. Another driver looking to mix it up at the front of the pack is James East. It's been a while since James has visited the Winner's Circle, which he did back in 2015. However, he made his presence known at the season opener with a third place finish. An additional Top 10 finish has him within 20 points of the lead in a close battle. Feature wins thus far have gone to Daniel Whitley and newcomer Zach Neeley, and East would definitely love to add his name to the list this Saturday night. Saturday night, the grandstands open at 4:00 with the first race starting at 6:00. Ticket prices are $20 for adults, $15 for military, senior (60 and over) and children (under 11) with children five and under free. For further information, go to www.antiochspeedway.com.

- Tom Steuding Memorial
Menomonie, Wisconsin, on May 13, 2022, the Dirt King Late Model Tour invaded the Red Cedar Speedway for the Tom Steuding Memorial presented by 715 Ag Supply and Ron Prochnow Family Farms. The WISSOTA Modifieds, Super Stocks, and Midwest Modifieds, were all in attendance. Winners on the evening included Ashley Anderson, Jesse Redetzke, Cole Chernosky, and AJ Diemel. The complete rundown of the Dirt Kings racing action can be seen at dirtkingstour.com, but let's just say James Giossi had a very solid run, starting 19th on the field and finishing fifth; the first car a lap down. AJ Diemel and Chad Mahder both drove away from the crowd and battled through heavy lapped traffic in the 24-car starting field. Mahder pressured Diemel, but Diemel was too tough as they ran the ultra-high line around the speedway. Nick Anvelink and Nick Panitzke were the only other cars on the lead lap when the checkered flag flew. The WISSOTA Modifieds ran two heats which were topped by Alex Van Natta and Adam Hensel and the feature saw Ashley Anderson claw his way from sixth on the field to carry the checkered flag in the 20-lap event. It was Van Natta early as Shane Halopka was charging forward using the high line. Anderson ran the middle groove as he closed into third and jumped up high to overtake second. A quick caution slowed the pace, and back under green, Anderson swept into the lead and didn't look back. Adam Hensel moved up from seventh position and was able to drive by Halopka against the wall and then set off to track down the leader. Hensel did close on Anderson, but with two laps remaining he appeared to jump what little cushion remained in turn three and Anderson regained his advantage. Anderson flashed home for his first win of 2022 as Hensel followed him to the finish line. Halopka finished third as Cory Williams and Daniel Bargender rounded out the top five. It was a high line night for the WISSOTA Super Stocks, and that is exactly where Jesse Redetzke shines. Redetzke is good anywhere on the track, but given the high line he is very difficult to beat in the Dan Arneson owned 207. Brandon Clemens led early from the drop of the green, and he put up a battle to remain in the lead after a handful of laps, but Redetzke was coming. A caution flag slowed the pace momentarily and Redetzke used the restart to take the lead, first by a nose, and then with distance once he had Clemens cleared. There were a few more cautions which kept the leader close and at one point, Kyle Copp was using the low line and closing the gap quickly. The final caution put him on Redetzke's tail, but Redetzke was just too good. Ben Hillman was strong throughout the race but came on impressively and he raced his way to second. Terran Spacek also found his way past Copp into third as Clemens rounded out the top five. The heats were topped by Redetzke and Spacek. Cole Chernosky drove all the way from Canada to race, and all the way from sixth on the grid to win the WISSOTA Midwest Modified feature. It was Will Moelter from the pin to lead the first several laps when a yellow flag bunched the field. The restart saw Kennedy Swan driving below the leader and taking the point as she was challenged by a fast Nick Ayotte. Swan lost a drive shaft in turn four, slowed quickly, and the cars behind her stacked up. Ayotte was called at fault by tack officials, and Swan's night was done. Moelter was relegated back to the lead, and he was challenged by Jesse Bryan for the front. A strong Travis Anderson got clipped on the front stretch and was sent hard into the retaining wall, ending his night as it was Moelter who was called with the foul. Chernosky found himself in the lead for the first time and he was solid out front. Shadow Kitchner used the high groove to ty to run him down and pass him but was not able to make the moves stick. There too were caution flags keeping the racing field bunched but Chernosky was solid all the way to the checkered flag. Jesse Bryan used the low line to overtake Kitchner and finish runner up. 14th starting Tanner Gehl and 13th starting Tyler Lamm had excellent runs rounding out the top five. The top two finishers were also the heat winners on the evening. The Red Cedar Speedway returns to racing on May 20, 2022, with the WISSOTA Race of Champions Qualifier Night, Track Gives Back: CVTC Mechanic Program, and Meet the Driver's Night. Racing is sponsored by Dirt Track Specialties and Menomonie Transportation with the WISSOTA Late Models, WISSOTA Modifieds, WISSOTA Super Stocks, WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds, WISSOTA Street Stocks, and RCS Hornets all in action.

- Arenz, Bongiorno, Loehr, Hitsman tally PDTR A-main triumphs
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 14, 2022 - On an unseasonably warm spring evening, a pair of drivers stayed perfect in A-main competition, while two competitors made their first main event trip to victory lane of the 2022 season, during the second Plymouth Dirt Track Racing program of the 2022 campaign Saturday, May 14 at The Plymouth Dirt Track at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, Wis. Defending PDTR 360 Sprint Car champion Travis Arenz of Sheboygan Falls made it two-for-two on the 2022 season as he rolled to victory in the 25-lap Kristine Hartmann Pleasant View Realty 360 Sprint Car main event victory. In the 25-lap Sheboygan's Country B93.7 25-lap Late model A-main, Joe Bongiorno of Milwaukee earned his first career Late Model main event triumph. 2018 PDTR Grand National champion Matt Loehr of Dotyville outdueled Luke Scholten of Oostburg to claim his first 25-lap Oostburg Automotive PDTR Grand National main event victory of the 2022 campaign. Jonathan Hitsman of Sheboygan racked up his second 25-lap PDTR Next Step Insurance B Mod A-main victory in two attempts in 2022. Outside front row starter Tim Haddy of Waupun got the jump on polesitter Bill Taylor of Boltonville to lead the opening lap of the 25-lap 360 Sprint Car headliner. On lap 2, 2011 PDTR 360 Sprint Car champion Ben Schmidt of Plymouth, who started third, moved into second along the high groove, with Travis Arenz, who started sixth, trailing into third on lap 3. Three laps later, Schmidt and Arenz closed the gap on Haddy as the top three drivers raced nose to tail along the preferred outside line of the third-mile clay oval. On lap 8, Arenz pulled off a slide job to seize second from Schmidt in turn four. The leaders caught the rear of the field on lap 10, which allowed Arenz to close the gap significantly on Haddy. Arenz hounded Haddy over the next three laps as the leaders skillfully weaved their way through lapped traffic. On lap 13, Arenz bolted past Haddy in turn three with Schmidt in tow as Haddy was shuffled back to third in the running order at the halfway mark of the race. Six laps later Arenz found himself bottled up in heavy lapped traffic with a group of drivers racing side by side in front of him. However, Arenz dove low in turn one to put three lapped cars between himself and the second-place car of Schmidt on lap 20 and effectively seal the outcome of the race. Arenz cruised over the final five laps en route to his 12th career PDTR 360 Sprint Car A-main victory and 24th overall Midwest Sprint Car Association main event triumph in the caution-free race. Schmidt had to settle for second, two-time PDTR 360 Sprint Car champ Kurt Davis of West Allis placed third, after starting eighth, Haddy finished fourth and fourth starter Anthony Knierim of Caledonia rounded out the top five. Four-time defending PDTR Late Model champion Justin Schmidt of Cleveland grabbed the lead on the drop of the green flag of the 25-lap Late Model A main from the pole position as rookie Bill Edler of Glenbeulah, who started third, moved into second. Schmidt maintained the lead over Edler before the first of two caution flags appeared on lap 7 for an incident in turn four involving Sawyer Specht of Sheboygan Falls and Turk Letizia of Milwaukee. On the restart, fifth starter Joe Bongiorno worked the outside groove to pass Edler and slip into second. Seconds later, leader Justin Schmidt slowed to a stop in turn two to bring out the second caution flag on lap 8. With Schmidt out of the race, Bongiorno assumed the lead on the restart as Kevin Baldry of Omro, who started sixth, used the high line to move into second on lap 9. Seven laps later Baldry closed in on Bongiorno and appeared that he was going mount a challenge for the lead. However, Bongiorno used the next four laps to open up a full-straightaway cushion over Baldry and he maintained the top spot in the closing laps on the way to his first career PDTR Late Model A-main victory. Baldry placed second, Jim Schmidt of Cleveland, who started seventh, finished third, Letizia recovered from his early-race incident to finish fourth and Edler took fifth. Opening night A-main winner Luke Scholten took the lead on the first lap of the 25-lap Grand National main event from the pole. On lap two, 2008 PDTR Grand National champion Matt Yancey of Sheboygan moved into second after starting third. On lap 3, second starter Matt Loehr engaged in a side-by-side duel with Yancey for second along the high line. Two laps later, Loehr charged into second and set his sights on Scholten. By lap 13, Loehr had cut the gap considerably on Scholten and he moved in to challenge for the top spot on lap 20. The high-riding Loehr and low-running Scholten dueled side-by-side throughout lap 21 before sweeping into the lead utilizing the top groove exiting turn two. Loehr fended off Scholten over the final three laps to notch his 10th career PDTR Grand National A-main victory in the non-stop race. Scholten finished second, Yancey wound up third, fifth starter Brad Weiss of Cascade placed fourth and 2019 PDTR Grand National champ Tyler Kulow of Plymouth placed fifth after starting fourth. Polesitter Spencer Long of Sheboygan Falls took the lead on the opening lap of the B Mod A main as sixth starter Jonathan Hitsman bolted into second along the outside groove on the first circuit. On lap 3, Hitsman cruised around Long in turn two to take over the top spot. From there, Hitsman set sail as he built up a half-lap lead over Long on lap 15. As Spencer Long's car began to display smoke, eighth starter Shane Long of Sheboygan Falls moved in to take second on lap 23. With Hitsman enjoying a substantial lead on the final lap, Spencer Long slowed to a stop in turn two with heavy smoke streaming from his car as the race ended under a combined checkered and caution flag. Hitsman racked up his fourth career PDTR B Mod A-main victory in the caution-less event. Shane Long finished second, seventh starter Gary Glander of Sheboygan Falls placed third, Jonathon Baumann of Sheboygan finished fourth after starting 10th and second starter Brandon Knepprath of Boltonville rounded out the top five. Two-time PDTR 360 Sprint Car champion Danny Schlafer of Sussex won the 15-lap PDTR 360 Sprint B main. Tim Haddy was the overall fast qualifier in PDTR 360 Sprint Car group qualifying with a lap of 12.702. The second PDTR program of the 2022 season, which featured free admission for all police, fire and emergency medical services personnel, was sponsored by the city of Sheboygan Falls Fire Department.

- Kreisel, McIntosh, Bergman prevail at Lucas Oil Speedway's 11th annual Impact Signs Awnings Wraps Open Wheel Showdown
WHEATLAND, MO. (May 14, 2022) - At last, Riley Kreisel was able to celebrate winning a sprint-car feature at Lucas Oil Speedway, a place he's always wanted dearly to take home a feature triumph. Kreisel took command early in the 25-lap POWRi WAR Sprint main event and held off a late charge from Jack Wagner to claim the win at the 11th annual Impact Signs Awnings Wraps Open Wheel Showdown. Other feature winners on Saturday night were Cannon McIntosh (Lucas Oil POWRI National Midget League) and Seth Bergman Lucas Oil ASCS Sooner/Warrior Region Sprints. It was Kreisel's first series win since 2020 and the 11th of his career. None have been at Lucas Oil Speedway and none have been sweeter for the 22-year-old. He had a good amount of fans on hand with his hometown less than an hour from Wheatland. "This place has been on my bucket list to win since I started running sprint cars," Kreisel said. "We came really close the first year I came here. It's been harder and harder every time. So, this is really meaningful. "I couldn't get much closer to home. All my sponsors are local and we work really hard to field a really fast race car. This is huge, more just for everybody involved. It's just a blessing to finally get one here." Kreisel made a move down the back straightaway to slip past early leader Kory Schudy for the lead on lap three. Three laps later, Wagner made his way into the runner-up position. Kreisel and Wagner ran 1-2 until Zach Daum took over second on lap 15, trailing Kreisel by 2.5 seconds. The caution waved on lap 16 as Brad Wyatt spun to a stop in turn two. Wagner moved back into second as action resumed, but Kreisel was able to open about a 10-car-length lead by lap 20 and he continued to check out from there until Wagner made a big run over the last two laps. As the two leaders darted through lapped traffic, Kreisel prevailed by .27 seconds. "That was a fun time. Trying to run down Riley is hard anywhere, especially here," Wagner said, congratulating Kreisel on the long-sought win. Casey Shuman finished third, Steven Russell was fourth and Schudy came home in fifth. McIntosh takes POWRi National Midget League win: Cannon McIntosh made the winning pass with three laps remaining and then held off Chance Crum for the POWRi National Midget League feature win, the seventh of his career. McIntosh, from Bixby, Oklahoma, had to work doubly hard for the victory. He made one pass for the lead that was wiped out as a caution flag appeared before the lap could be completed. No matter. He did it again, one the same part of the track, three laps after the restart. "I definitely knew we were better at the end. I just needed to be able to pull it off," McIntosh said. "It hurt us when we got the lead and went back to second there. "I was trying to get momentum going there on the top. It just wasn't enough to got and get the leader. He was pretty good on the bottom. I just tried something and opened my entry up and cut it down. I'm just super happy. We've been close so many times this year." Crum held a 1.8-second lead over McIntosh when Bryant Wiedeman slowed in turn one on lap 13 with an apparent flat and Austin Barnhill flipped his car in turn four to bring out a caution. Wiedeman, the reigning series champ, started on the front row and led the first lap. But he would fade until rolling to the stop, leading to a tire change. He ultimately finished ninth. Jace Park took over the lead on lap two, but didn't keep it for long. Crum slid past him coming out of turn four on lap five and gradually built his lead until the action came to a stop on lap 13. McIntosh was running second with Alex Sewell third and Park in fourth. Crum continued to lead after the restart, but McIntosh closed in and made a passing out of turn two on lap 20 - but a caution waved before the lap was completed and the running order reverted back to the previous lap. That left Crum in front for a six-lap shootout. McIntosh again fought his way past for the lead, on lap 22, once again exiting turn two. McIntosh held on from there to prevail by .723 seconds. Sewell finished third with Park fourth and Brenham Couch in fifth. ASCS Winged Sprint win to Bergman: Seth Bergman of Snohomish, Washington, led all 25 laps and worked his way masterfully through slower traffic when needed to earn the ASCS Sooner/Warrior Sprint feature win. Bergman picked up his second feature win of the ASCS season, outlasting Blake Hahn down the stretch. Bergman started inside of row two, but after the start was waved off Bergman moved to the pole with pole-sitter Miles Paulus penalized one row. Bergman made the most of the extra-prime position. "Things just worked out there," Bergman said. "It put us on the front row and I knew from there things changed a little bit. I had command of the field at that point and just tried to do my best. "I gave a race away not long ago, a national race at Little Rock, when I ran into a lapped car so that was on my mind when I was leading this one. "I moved around, stayed on the top of the race track and came home on the top step. I could not be more proud of this race team. We've been fast enough every time we hit the track to win a race. It doesn't always work out, but I'm super happy tonight it worked out." Bergman vaulted to the lead at the start and never looked back. He held a 2.5-second command by lap five, but as he and Blake Hahn encountered lapped traffic the runner-up closed the margin to under a half-second by lap 12. But Bergman was able to use that same traffic to his advantage, putting a couple of slower cars between he and Hahn to push the lead back to more than two seconds by lap 15. Hahn came charging late, cutting the margin to three-tenths of a second with two laps remaining. Bergman again pulled away when the pressure mounted, winning by 1.7 seconds over Hahn at the checkers. "Seth was fast tonight. I could kind of reel him in in lapped traffic and that was about the only chance we had tonight," Hahn said. Paulus finished third with Matt Covington fourth and Sean McClelland fifth.

- Defending Champions Bill Holmes and Cam Tuttle Return to Victory Lane at Genesee
Rich Vleck, BATAVIA, NY, (May 14, 2022)- After the first two nights of the 2022 season, only a handful of drivers had got the opportunity to get to Victory Lane, but for drivers like Bill Holmes and Cam Tuttle, who each had won five races a division championship last season, two races without capturing the checkered flags was a long enough of a wait and did something about it on Saturday Night. After afternoon rains gave way to bountiful sunshine, Bill Holmes (Late Models) and Cam Tuttle (Sportsman) each led 25 laps of their respective features to return to glory on Saturday Night at Genesee Speedway. Both had felt a struggle in the first two weeks and were glad to get back to their 2021 form. In the Late Model feature, Holmes had to outduel Jon Rivers for the lead on the opening circuit. Holmes dove deep from the bottom in turn three and was able to fend off the crossover move by Rivers to complete that lap. Later in the race, Rivers would run the No. 8 back down as the duo reached lapped traffic which made things dicey heading to the end. Despite being slowed by the lapped car, Holmes as able to retain the lead as Rivers' No. 85 was unable to capitalize. "Things have been just a little different to start this year," admitted Holmes in Victory Lane after he recorded finishes of sixth and seventh to open up 2022. "Jon (Rivers) ran us clean and I wasn't sure where to go with the lapped traffic but it worked out." Rivers would settle for second as his No. 85 was strong for the second-straight week. Point leader Doug Ricotta held off JJ Mazur for third while Billy DuBois fended off Jimmy Johnson at the line to round out the top five. The Sportsman feature was a similar story, with Tuttle having to get in front of Dave Conant in the opening laps, then having to deal with the stout competitor down the stretch to earn his return to Victory Lane. "We just were not good to start the year, so we made wholesale changes on the car today to try and match the spring conditions," said Tuttle after his win, who he dedicated to his Grandfather on his birthday. "The car worked great up on the top, only the lapped cars made things interesting there for a second." Tuttle's lead did indeed all but evaporate down the stretch as his No. 35T struggled to find a line around lapped traffic. Conant was able to close but would have to settle for second. Noah Walker would cross in third for the second-straight week while last-week's winner Jim Harbison was fourth. Brandon Michaud rounded out the top five. Rich Conte pulled off a stunner in the Street Stock Feature as he ran down Sherman Gage on the final lap to pick up his first-career win in the division. Conte, of Bergen, held a pretty wheel in second throughout the race while Gage was the class of the field, but with two laps to go Gage's No. 21s began to slow and his lead of over two seconds evaporated as he suffered a flat tire and would hand over the lead to Conte's No. 717 in the final set of corners as a beautiful slidejob was executed to take the lead. Also following Conte through was Bill Taylor, who finished a close second ahead of last week's winner Tommy Kemp. Gage would slip back to fourth while Byron Dewitt rounded out the top five. After Conte took "The Wise Guys" to Victory Lane, Bill Weller Jr. did the same in the following race as he captured the win in the Mini Stock Feature. Weller, who had placed the engine in his No. 69jr at 3:30 earlier in the day, chased down James Gayton in the opening laps for the lead and passed him on lap seven and never looked back to claim the win. Weller was able to slice his way through lapped traffic to strengthen his lead over Gayton, who would settle for second. Dylan Strade scored a heat win and finished in third while last week's winner DJ Williams and Olivia Coniber rounded out a fast top five. Allison Dewitt stayed perfect in Novice Sportsman Feature action, winning her third race of the season. Dewitt had trouble in the heat race and was unable to finish, but rallied back in the 15-lap feature, taking second on the opening lap and then taking the lead from John Livingston Jr. on the second circuit. Late in the race, heat winner Casey Jonathan closed the gap on the leader but was unable to make a pass and would settle for second. Livingston would finish in third. Seth Johnson won a thrilling Bandit Feature for his second win of the season. Johnson, of Castile, had a great battle with Tyler Foster for the lead through the middle of the race, with Foster showing the way in the groove the completion of lap seven when his No. 53 got loose off the fourth corner and snapped around after contact from Johnson. Foster would be unable to finish while Johnson would drive off to the win over Morgan Coniber, who rallied from an opening lap spin for her career-best finish. Nicholas Lipome finished third after cutting a tire on the final lap. All six divisions will be back in action next Saturday Night with a 6:00 start time.

- Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: POWRi Midget champ Wiedeman eager for Open Wheel Showdown
WHEATLAND, MO. (May 11, 2022) - Bryant Wiedeman is about to wrap up his sophomore year at Colby High School in western Kansas and that means his focus can shift full-on to his racing endeavors on dirt tracks across the country. Being a race-car driver definitely is an attention-getter among friends and fellow students. "I think they're really proud and enjoy keeping up with my racing," Wiedeman said. "It's cool they care that much and want to watch and see how I grow in the sport." The 16-year-old Wiedeman definitely is an up-and-comer in the world of open-wheel racing, as the reigning Lucas Oil POWRi National Midget Series champion. He will be at Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday for the 11th annual Impact Signs Awnings Wraps Open Wheel Showdown. In addition to the POWRi Midgets, the tripleheader of action will include the ASCS Warrior Region Presented by Impact Signs Awnings Wraps and the American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Sooner Region Presented by Smiley's Racing Products, plus the POWRi Lucas Oil WAR Sprints. "I'm really excited to go back there," Wiedeman said of Lucas Oil Speedway, where he finished third in this race a year ago, his first action on the Wheatland oval. "I recall it being a pretty technical track, opposite on both ends. One was top and the other bottom and it was very challenging, but definitely a fun track to race at. "Last year was a learning curve for most places I went. This being my second year, I have a better chance at a lot of these tracks because I've been there and know how to get around them now. I think it'll definitely help me out this weekend." Unlike many young drivers, Wiedeman did not grow up in a racing family. He's a first-generation racer who started racing go-karts at the ago of six after he and dad Brent were invited to a go-kart race by friends. "I think we both fell in love with it and it went from there," Bryant said. "We bought a go-kart and really enjoyed that, moved up to the micros and (eventually) found myself racing a Keith Kunz Midget." For those not familiar with Midget cars, Keith Kunz Motorsports is one of the iconic teams in the sport. Kunz has been instrumental in the development of many of the sport's stars, including Kyle Larson and Christopher Bell. Bryant Wiedeman said the knowledge that Kunz and other team members impart is priceless to a young driver. "It's a good thing to have on my side," he said. "That's a big deal and a leg up I have on the competition." Wiedeman won more than 100 races in seven years in go-karts and moved into the micro-sprints where he caught the attention of Kunz. In his first full season for KKM in 2021, Wiedeman said he exceeded expectations as a POWRi National Midget rookie, becoming the youngest national champion. He posted three wins, 18 top-five finishes and 28 top-10s in 30 events. "I was just going into the year looking for Rookie of the Year championships," Wiedeman said. "But winning POWRi was a huge deal to me and my team. We're definitely looking to progress off that this year and looking forward to seeing how we can perform in USAC points as well." Joining Wiedeman at Wheatland will be fellow KKM drivers Brenham Crouch, Mariah Ede and Gavin Miller. Early in the POWRi National Midget Series, Wiedeman holds a 10-point lead over Cannon McIntosh of Bixby, Oklahoma. Emerson Axsom won the Open Wheel Showdown race in 2021.

Defending PDTR 360 Sprint Car champion Travis Arenz of Sheboygan Falls capitalized on a late-race incident between former PDTR 360 Sprint Car champions Ben Schmidt of Plymouth and Brandon McMullen of Oshkosh to earn the 25-lap Kristine Hartmann Pleasantview Realty 360 Sprint Car main event victory. Jim Schmidt of Cleveland outdueled his son, Justin, to capture the season opening- Sheboygan's County B93.7 25-lap Late Model A-main. Luke Scholten of Oostburg rolled to victory in the 25-lap Oostburg Automotive Grand National A main and Jonathan Hitsman of Sheboygan used a late-race pass to secure the 25-lap Next Step Insurance B Mod A-main triumph. After drawing the pole position, Arenz bolted into the lead on the drop of the green flag of the 25-lap 360 Sprint Car headliner as fourth starter Ben Schmidt ducked into second in the running order. By lap 4, Arenz had caught the rear of the field on the multi-groove racing surface. On lap 7, the red flag was displayed when Will Gerrits of Waupun flipped in turn one. On the restart, sixth starter Brandon McMullen made a bold move along the low line to sweep past Schmidt into second in turn two. Four laps later, Arenz found himself bogged down by heavy lapped traffic, which allowed McMullen to close the gap significantly. On lap 11, Arenz made slight contact with a lapped car along the high groove as McMullen bolted into the lead along the low line exiting turn four. McMullen proceeded to power away from Arenz over the next five laps before Schmidt worked past Arenz to take over second on lap 16 and quickly set his sights on McMullen for the lead. One lap later, Schmidt made a big run on McMullen along the low line entering turn three. However, contact between the two cars sent Schmidt flipping and resulted in damage to McMullen's car to bring out the second red flag of the race. With Schmidt out of the race and McMullen relegated to the pit area to make repairs before restarting the race at the rear of the field, Arenz regained the lead on the ensuing restart. Arenz pulled away on the restart before 2018 PDTR 360 Sprint Car champion Justin Miller of Plymouth spun in turn three on lap 18 to bring out a yellow flag. Following the final restart, 2008 PDTR 360 Sprint Car champion Lance Fassbender of Burnett, who started eighth, and fifth starter Tim Haddy of Waupun waged an epic battle for second in the closing laps. Fassbender and Haddy, two of the most experienced drivers in the PDTR 360 Sprint Car division, exchanged multiple slide jobs over the final seven circuits before Haddy emerged with the runner-up spot with two laps remaining. Meanwhile, Arenz shot out to a commanding lead down the stretch en route to his 11th career PDTR 360 Sprint Car and 23rd overall Midwest Sprint Car Association A-main victory. Haddy finished second, Fassbender was third, Doug Wondra of Oakfield charged from the 14th starting spot to finish fourth and Waldo's Chris Clayton placed fifth, after starting 16th. Late Model rookie Bill Edler of Howards Grove outdueled polesitter Kevin Baldry of Omro to lead the opening lap of the 25-lap Late Model main event. On lap 2, the lone caution of the race appeared for an incident in turn three. Jim Schmidt of Cleveland, who started fourth, flexed his muscle on the restart to power around Edler and into the top spot utilizing the high groove of the third-mile clay oval. On lap 6, four-time defending PDTR Late Model champion Justin Schmidt, who started fifth, moved past Baldry and Edler to secure second. Justin Schmidt ducked low to pressure Jim Schmidt for the lead on lap 7, but was unable to make the pass attempt stick. Five laps later, Jim Schmidt made slight contact with a lapped car, which allowed Justin Schmidt to close the gap significantly. As Jim Schmidt weaved his way through lapped traffic, Justin Schmidt again ducked low to mount another bid for the lead in turn four on lap 20. However, once again Jim Schmidt successfully fended off his son' challenge and held on over the final five laps to notch his 17th career PDTR Late Model A-main victory. Justin Schmidt had to settle for second, sixth starter Justin Ritchie of New London finished third, Charlie Schmidt of Oostburg finished fourth after starting eighth and Baldry rounded out the top five. Polesitter Steven Ruh of Elkhart Lake powered into the lead in the Bender Racing 89 car on the drop of the green flag in the 25-lap Grand National A main. On lap 2, fourth starter Luke Scholten used the outside groove to challenge Ruh for the lead. Ruh and Scholten then proceeded to put on a racing clinic over the next 15 laps as they traded the lead back and forth on multiple occasions in an entertaining side-by-side duel. With Ruh holding strong on the low line, Scholten skillfully worked the high groove to finally gain the top spot for good on lap 16. As Scholten pulled away over the final nine laps, 2019 PDTR Grand National champion Tyler Kulow of Plymouth, who started third, slipped past Ruh to take second on lap 23. Scholten went on to post his 16th career PDTR Grand National A-main triumph, Kulow placed second, Ruh wound up third, 2008 PDTR Grand National champ Matt Yancey of Sheboygan placed fourth after starting fifth and Donny Kulow of Elkhart Lake, who started second, placed fifth. Rory Welch of Grafton grabbed the lead on the opening lap of the 25-lap B Mod A main from the pole. On lap three, third starter Shane Long of Sheboygan Falls moved under Welch to take the lead in turn four. By lap 13, Long had built up a full straightaway lead over Welch. Four laps later, the lone caution flag of the race appeared when Welch and Gary Glander of Sheboygan Falls collided exiting turn four. Following the restart, ninth starter Jon Hitsman of Sheboygan powered into second and quickly closed in on Long for the top spot. On lap 21, Hitsman used the high line to pull even with Long. The two drivers dueled side by side over the next two laps, before Hitsman gained the lead in turn two on lap 23. Hitsman held on over the final two laps to rack up his third career PDTR B Mod A-main victory. Shane Long placed second, Jonathan Baumann of Sheboygan, who started fourth, placed third, fifth starter Andy Welter of Hartford placed fourth and Spencer Long of Sheboygan Falls finished fifth after starting 10th. Tony Wondra of Campbellsport won the 15-lap PDTR 360 Sprint B main. The first PDTR program of the 2022 season was sponsored by Collins State Bank.

Jackson, a six-time track champion, beat Sheets by two seconds to earn the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod win and earn the $750 prize courtesy of Clearlight Inn. A total of 130 cars in five divisions checked into the pits as Vietti Marketing Group and Wild Animal Safari presented Round 2 of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series. Other feature winners were Cole Henson (Hermitage Lumber Late Models), Dillon McCowan (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds), Dean Wille (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars) and Derek Brown in the Pure Stock guest class. Sheets started up front in the B-Mod main event and set the pace through 19 laps, as the race had a long green-flag run after two early cautions. As Jackson gave chase through lapped traffic, he began to close on the leader and finally, in turn two as Sheets slid a bit high, Jackson made the decisive pass. Jackson pulled away from there to pick up his second Lucas Oil Speedway victory of 2022 and ninth overall this season. Ryan Gillmore finished third with Tyler Kidwell in fourth and Andy Bryant fifth. Henson rolls to Late Model triumph: Cole Henson of Russellville dominated in the Hermitage Lumber Late Models, leading all 20 laps to earn his first feature victory of the season. Henson finished 1.3 seconds in front of Larry Ferris, reversing the outcome from the previous week which was the season opener for the Late Models. "We were scratching our head about this track because it was totally different than last week," Henson said. "We were pretty bummed, starting on the pole and we found our problem after we got home. A simple mistake, but I was glad to see Larry get the win. "To come out here tonight and get back here and run good, get back to victory lane, I couldn't ask for anything more." Henson started on the pole after claiming a heat-race win and set a blistering pace, sprinting away from outside front-row starter Joe Walkenhorst at the start. Henson led Walkenhorst by 3.6 seconds by lap 11 with Cox in third when the race's first caution came out. The two-time defending track champion checked out again as the race resumed and remained green the rest of the way. Henson finished comfortably ahead of the onrushing Ferris - who started ninth - with Cox winding up third, Michael Maggard fourth and JC Morton fifth after starting 16th. McCowan takes third USRA Mod win of season: Defending track champ Dillon McCowan made it three feature victories in four attempts this season, as the Urbana driver led all 20 laps in the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature. McCowan had to endure several late cautions that forced multiple restarts. "After the start we had this year, it's really nice to be able to come back ot the home track and be really good," McCowan said, noting a rough out-of-state stretch earlier in the season. McCowan started up front and wasted little time taking command, opening a 1.3-second led just two laps into the event and midway through the 20-lapper he was 4.1 seconds clear of second-place Andy Bryant. The defending track champ was 4.3 seconds ahead of Ryan Middaugh when the rest of the field received a bit of hope when a caution flew on lap 12. Another caution on lap 16 took away a two-second lead McCowan had built and forced another restart - or actually three attempts at a restart before a lap could be completed. It wound up no problem for McCowan. The 18-year-old's patience was rewarded as the race finally went and stayed green and he beat Middaugh by half a straightaway for the win. Dustin Hodges rallied from 10th to finish third, Andy Bryant was fourth and Nic Bidinger fifth. Wille captures USRA Stock Cars win: Dean Wille of Warrensburg picked up his first O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature, taking over the lead on lap seven and outdistancing runner-up Mason Beck. Johnny Fennewald, a former Lucas Oil Speedway weekly series Late Model champ, led the opening six laps of the feature. Willie made a pass out of turn four on lap seven to take command and stretched it out from there. Beck, who started on the front row alongside Fennewald, finished second one second behind the winner. Bryan White was third with Doug Keller fourth and Scott Johnson in fifth. Fennewald pulled to the infield with mechanical issues on lap 16. Brown makes up ground in Pure Stocks win: Derek Brown of Stoutland wasted little time rallying from deep in the field to earn the Pure Stock feature win as the class made a special guest appearance. Brown started 16th and passed six cars on the opening lap and was up to third by lap five. He took over the lead on lap nine, going past Bradley McDowell. Mechanical problems eliminated McDowell, who was running second, on lap 13 as a caution flew for an incident on the other end of the track. Brown, a former track champion in Street Stocks who now competes in the USRA Stock Car division, maintained command from there. Brown beat Robert High by about 10 car lengths with Greg Dykstra third, C.J. Turner fourth and Conrad Kauffman fifth.

- Jim Harbison and Jeremy Wonderling Win Thrillers at Genesee
Rich Vleck, (BATAVIA, NY), May 7, 2022- Side-by-side action was the name of the game at Genesee Speedway on Saturday Night as the battles for position were ever-present, including for the lead in the two biggest events of the night. The Sportsman feature was early favorite for the race of the night, with wild drama found throughout the 25-lap feature, even on the final lap. In the end, it was Jim Harbison scoring the win on Mother's Day Weekend for the second year in a row. Harbison ran back down Noah Walker entering turn one on the final circuit to take the lead, only to have Phil Vigneri III rim-ride around Walker as well and challenge Harbison in to the final corner. Harbison's 18w would get the bite of the final corner and capture the win. "I'm exhausted," exclaimed Harbison after the race in Victory Lane. "That was an awesome race with Noah, he ran me clean. I messed up in (turn) 1 one time and locked up the brakes and he got by me and I thought I lost it but I was able to get him back." Byron Dewitt took the early lead, but by lap 3, Noah Walker had taken the top spot despite starting in the fifth spot. On a lap 10 restart, Harbison lined up to the inside of Walker and powered down on the restart to take the lead away. It appeared he would run off but when he slipped up on lap 15 Walker pounced and brought Vigneri and Cam Tuttle in to the mix. A caution flag on lap 17 would bunch up the field one last time. Walker would drive away but Harbison ran him down using the bottom line, finally getting back in front on the on the last lap; but the race was not over yet. "I knew (Tuttle) was up with us but I didn't know about Phil," recalled Harbison about Vigneri pulling alongside him on the backstretch on the final lap. "It was just great to have the track have bite on the bottom because that's where I want to be." Despite not coming home with the win, Vigneri's bonsai run on the top on the final lap was not only awe-inspiring, it was the second-fastst lap any driver turned in that feature. Noah Walker's stout run would result in a third-place finish while Tuttle crossed in fourth. Kyle Richner completed the solid top five. If the sportsman event was not the race of the night, that title would have to go to the late models. After JJ Mazur led the opening six laps a duel broke out between veterans John Waters and Jeremy Wonderling who battled it out side-by-side for most of the race to sort out the 25-lap feature. Waters took the lead running down Mazur and Wonderling after starting in sixth and seemed to be hooked up on the bottom, but after a lap 13 restart Wonderling's No. 3J started to reel in the No. 11. On lap 18, after pulling up alongside the leader for a handful of laps, Wonderling finally edged ahead at the line, only to see Waters take the lead back two laps later. A lap 21 caution would set up the final restart of the race, a single-file start, which would seem to hurt Wonderling in second, but it allowed him to make a stealth attack as he used the high-line on the lap 22 restart and get by Waters for good. "I can't thank John Waters enough. He ran me so fair, never pinched me off, and let us race for the lead," stated Wonderling in Victory Lane. "I was bummed to see that caution late because it was single-file and we had been running side-by-side while we were green." A week after a driveline issue ending his night early, the Wellsville driver still was fighting some handling issues in the first-half of the race. After nearly falling back to fourth, he started to mount a charge and got his car rotating on the top the way he needed. It was his ability to keep his momentum up in the high lane that would enable him to get back to Victory Lane. John Waters would place in second while JJ Mazur was able to cross in third. Dennis Lunger was the reason for the caution on lap 21 as he stopped while running in third, which allowed Jon Rivers and Jimmy Johnson to move up and round out the top five. In his first start of 2022, Tommy Kemp dominated the Street Stock Feature to claim the win. It was similar to his first feature of last year when he won on the same weekend. Kemp took the lead on lap two from Sherman Gage and dueled with defending champion Bill Taylor over the final 17 laps of the race, which ran off without a caution flag. Taylor started in seventh but was up to the runner-up spot by lap four, however he was unable to set up a pass on the No. 28 for the lead. Kemp was able to power down on the top of the track, only moving down to move by the lapped cars. Behind that lead duo was a fierce battle for third with heat winner Rich Conte taking that spot. Dale Rissinger and Mike Kelly completed the top five. D.J. Williams made his first appearance at Genesee pay off in a big way as he took the lead on a restart on lap 3 and cruised to the win in the Mini Stock Feature. After taking the advice of friends, Williams ran the prescribed line to perfection to get by Bill Weller Jr. and then lead the rest of the way in his No. 28. Weller would finish in second while Andy Schumaker was a solid third. Jessica Schleede scored her best career finish in fourth while Josh Schosek rounded out the top five in his first appearance. Allison Dewitt was the lone winner from week one to repeat on Saturday as she stayed perfect in the Novice Sportsman division as she won both the heat and feature in her No. 16. Dewitt was challenged fiercely by Greenley George throughout the 15-lap event, but in the closing laps George would spin and allow Dewitt to drive off comfortably to the win. Casey Jonathan kept his car clean to finish in second while George would come home in third. Bryson Hill kicked off the feature action before intermission with a wire-to-wire win in the Bandit division. Hill, drove to the lead from the outside pole and had a healthy advantage until Seth Johnson, last week's winner, ran him down in the closing laps and applied pressure. Hill was able to stay steady for his first Genesee win with Johnson and Tyler Foster completing the podium. Also on hand on the night was the NY6A 600 Micro Sprint Tour running their first race of the season. Local competitor Nick Groff put on a clinic, winning the 20-lap feature by over 9.7 seconds to capture the checkered flags. Groff's No. 16 was in a heavy wreck last season at Genesee and was able to reclip the front of his car and finally breakthrough at the track he wanted to win at the most. The only stoppage of the race came on the initial start when Ivan Forney wheel-hoped a fellow competitor and drove over the jersey barrier. Jeff Tinkham and Jason Moll completed the top three with solid performances.

- Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Kansas teen Walburn ready for more after impressive Wheatland B-Mod debut
WHEATLAND, MO. (May 4, 2022) - Krew Walburn's first appearance at Lucas Oil Speedway was an impressive one. The 19-year-old from Emporia, Kansas, ran third in the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature behind a pair of former USRA national champions, Andy Bryant and Kris Jackson. "The competition there is stiff," Walburn said this week. "When you go there, you're literally running with the best of the best in the B-Mod class. That's what I told my dad I wanted to do. I wanted to see how we are running with the big dogs." Walburn plans a return visit this Saturday as the B-Mods are the featured class, running a 25-lap main event for $750 to win courtesy of Clearlight Inn. Vietti Marketing Group and Wild Animal Safari team up to present Round 2 of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series with all Moms admitted free to commemorate Mother's Day weekend, courtesy of Vietti Marketing Group. Walburn, a second-generation racer who began competing at age 11 in the Factory Stock division on Kansas dirt tracks, hopes to be in contention again this weekend. He said the team learned some things in their first trip to Wheatland with the B-Mod. "The track has some character," Walburn said. "We didn't expect it to slick off like it did, real fast, in the heat races. They tilled it up before the feature, which was fine. We could have done a few more things to get the car better." Walburn followed in the footsteps of his dad, Brian Walburn who drove Modifieds during his racing days. Krew moved from Factory Stocks into a Midwest Mod and wound up driving both divisions the same season as Humboldt Speedway. "It went pretty well and we finished second in points (Midwest Mod) and third in points with the Factory Stock," Walburn said, noting his goals this season are to win Rookie of the Year honors at Humboldt and finish as high as possible in USRA B-Mod national points. The large B-Mod car counts at Lucas Oil Speedway should help his cause in the national points. Last week, he drove from 10th to fourth in his heat race, which gave him enough passing points to earn a good starting position for the feature. "The A Mod competition is pretty stiff, but it seems us B-Mod guys bring more of a car count now unless it's a big USMTS event," Walburn said. "I'd like to crack the top five in national points. That would be a good accomplishment." With five top-five runs already to his credit at various tracks this year, Walburn is making a name for himself. And speaking of names, what about his unique one of Krew? "It is kind of a unique first name," he said. "When I went to the Wild West Shootout two years ago in Arizona, one of my sponsors, he started calling me 'Krewster.' After that, a lot of people have been calling me that." "Krewster" attends Flint Hills Technical College and works for his dad's roofing business, keeping his schedule busy. He wouldn't mind following in the footsteps of Emporia's biggest racing name. That's Clint Bowyer, who Krew has gotten to know over the years. Flint Hills Towing, owned by Bowyer's dad Chris, is one of Krew's B-Mod sponsors along with Clint Bowyer Racing. "Clint says work hard for what you want to go after. He's an amazing role model," Walburn said. "He made it from dirt racing here in Emporia and took it to the next level. He's been really supportive." Other sponsors include Walburn's Roofing, Hodges Farms and Dredging, Murphy Agra, Cadillac Style Trucking, Charlie's Place, Journey's INC, Snap-On Tools and Kris Jackson at J2 Race Cars. "They feel like family to me," Walburn said of Jackson, the six-time Lucas Oil Speedway track champion, and the J2 team. The Hermitage Lumber Late Models, Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds and the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars also will be in action Saturday night and Pure Stocks will be on the program as a special guest class, running for $300 to win. It's part of a big day-night racing doubleheader coming to Lucas Oil Speedway as during the day, the first of four UTV Short Course Off-Road Racing program on the speedway's Off Road course is scheduled. Spectator gates at Off Road will open at 9 a.m. with practice at 10 a.m. and heat races starting at noon on the off road track.

- GASPER AND MICHNOWICZ SPLIT CLS WINS AT VENTURA
(Torrance, CA, May 3, 2022) Youth was served when the California Lightning Sprint Car Series visited Jim Naylor's Ventura Raceway last Saturday and teenager David Gasper captured one of the two 25 lap main events on the night. In addition to youth, experience was served as well when quinquagenarian Bobby Michnowicz captured the other 25-lapper. The two main events were necessitated when qualifying and the heats were completed on March 16th. However, rain intervened and caused postponement of the main event. Thus, the first order of business after qualifying on Saturday was the makeup race. The start of the makeup main event saw Santa Barbara's Gasper on the inside of the front row with J.D. Bentley from Rubottom, Oklahoma on the outside. Palmdale's Eric Greco and Dominic Del Monte, two youngsters who are considered veterans in the CLS, comprised row two. The third row featured Camarillo's Cody Nigh and his uncle, five-time series champion Bobby Michnowicz of Oak Hills. As the field was coming around to take the initial green flag, series-leading rookie Will Browne of Glendora slowed and came to a stop in turn three. That was just about the time the remainder of the field was hitting the throttle pedal for the start of the race. The green did not come out, but several cars got together as they entered turn one. Nigh ended up on his side and a red flag came out before the green had ever waved. Officials pushed Nigh's pretty #45 back on all fours and he was ready for the restart. With a bent nose wing, he had to restart at the back after being deemed the perpetrator of the red. Gasper got the jump in turn one and led over Bentley, Greco, Michnowicz, and Del Monte. The race got three laps in before Chino's Pat Kelley coasted to a stop in turn one bringing out a yellow flag. Once action resumed, wily veteran Michnowicz, went to the outside to pass Greco for second coming off turn two. That was the last pass amongst the top five for the duration of the race, but it was anything, but boring. Gasper and Bentley hit the lapped traffic on lap 13 and had no problem getting around the first two. However, from that point on, the lappers provided a headache for the top four. When he was stuck behind lapped cars, Greco almost took third from Michnowicz and Bentley almost did the same to Gasper. However, both of those offensive thwarts were repelled. When the checkers ended the race, it was 2021 series champion Gasper posting his second win in the first four races of the year. Bentley was only three car lengths behind the leader and was trailed by Michnowicz, Greco, and Del Monte. Michnowicz won the "Speed Mart" and "Advanced Racing Suspension Hard Charger" awards for the first main after starting fifth and finishing seventh. "It was a long wait (due to the rainout) knowing that we started on the pole," Gasper said after his second triumph of the year. "My guys gave me a good car and we got it done. The sun started getting in my eyes a little bit heading into three. I couldn't really see, but we made it work and we got it done. It was a long year (at Ventura in 2021). Our best finish was second. We struggled on set up here, but I think we figured it out for sure." 278980898_3093706604214001_9062148145225199213_n.jpg David Gasper after his win in the first main at Ventura on Saturday night. CLS Photo. For the regular portion of the program, Gasper was the "West Evans Motorsports Fastest Qualifier" with a time of 12.240. Bentley was second quick at 12.360. Impressive Browne recorded the third-best time with a lap of 12.436. Greco and Nigh, with times of 12.455 and 12.478 respectively, rounded out the top five. Del Monte took the "Extreme Mufflers First Heat Race" when he beat Gasper and Nigh to the checkers. Rancho Cucamonga's Brent Owens topped the field in the "CSI Shocks Second Heat." Bentley and Michnowicz placed second and third. For the second 25-lap main event of the night, Nigh and Michnowicz were once again paired on the front row. Greco and Bentley lined up behind them in row two with Gasper and Browne slated to go from row three. After completing and finishing fourth in his heat race, Browne again stopped on the pace lap for the main event. This time the talented new driver to the CLS was done for the night. Michnowicz was the first to turn one and the first across the line at the end of the opening circuit. Bentley, Del Monte, Greco, and Gasper were in tow. Gasper split Greco and Del Monte and when the second lap was completed, he was third. Michnowicz and Bentley moved away from the remainder of the field and by the end of the fourth lap, they were on the rear end of the pack. That ended up being when Michnowicz faced his most serious challenge in the race. When he momentarily hesitated coming off two, Bentley drove to the outside and attempted to take the lead away. However, the lapped car was in his way and Michnowicz was able to maintain the lead and did not face another serious challenge. Besides the lap four interaction with traffic, the lapped cars were more cooperative than they were in the first race. When the sailing was clear, Michnowicz hugged the inside line, while Bentley ran a lane wider and stayed within four or five car lengths of the race-long leader through the first half of the event. The proceedings were halted for the second time on lap 16 when Del Monte slid to a stop on the back chute forcing a yellow. For the restart, Michnowicz and Bentley were joined in the top five by Gasper, Nigh, and Greco. On the initial try to go racing again, the yellow immediately came back on when Owens spun to the infield on the restart. On the next try, Michnowicz got a great restart, but Bentley did not. Gasper, who was trying to go two for two on the night, immediately went on the attack. He steered the brilliant blue #18 to the inside of Bentley in turn one. Coming off two, Bentley fought him off. Gasper tried again going into three, and Bentley fended him off one more time, got a good drive off four, and put some breathing room between himself and his pursuer. Bentley and Gasper's fight allowed Michnowicz to expand his lead. The wily veteran took full advantage over the last 10-laps, which went without a yellow. He put nearly a half straight between his T Shirts By Timeless/Pflum and Wagner/Fabozzi Metal Works/Super Shocks/Outlaw Wings/Simpson #21, and second place Bentley at the finish. Gasper ended up third with Nigh fourth and Greco fifth. Ojai's Gage Cheek, who was making his first start of the year, won the "Speed Mart" and "Advanced Racing Suspension Hard Charger" awards after starting 10th and finishing seventh. "We have had such bad luck," the happy winner said referring to his early-season woes. "Starting on the front row I was thinking, 'Just get the jump and go as fast as you can.' I was tired as we had already went 25 laps (in the first main). So, I ate a banana and drank some water. The track was great. Jim Naylor has changed the track a lot. He is going to massage it some more, but its really good. This is where I met my wife. We were 16 years old racin here. A lot of good memories and I love it here." 279085135_3093825910868737_6891230000475895813_n.jpg Five-time CLS champion Bobby Michnowicz got his first win the the year Saturday at Ventura. CLS Photo. Greco continues to add some points to his lead in the championship standings and now has a 24-point advantage over Nigh. Defending champion Gasper is third and 98-points behind the leader. Yucca Valley's Jeff Dyer is fourth. Michnowicz has finally broken into the top five for the first time this year and is fifth. The CLS gets one week off before returning to action with the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars at the Bakersfield Speedway on May 14th. West Evans Motorsports Qualifying: 1. Dave Gasper, 12.240; 2. J.D.

- 2023 Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Practice Shifted To Sunday
Bryan Hulbert - TULSA, Okla. (May 2, 2022) A change in daily events that have been widely requested will happen for the 2023 Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals presented by General Tire. Practice will now take place on Sunday rather than Monday morning. "Moving Practice was something we had been looking at but had to make sure logistically that it was going to work," explained Chili Bowl Director of Operations Matt Ward. "With the size of the event, and everything that goes on, a small change can have a major impact, and in this case, parking was the real concern, but we've been able to get everyone in on Saturday, so after that, it was just making sure the track crew was good with the change." With the change, this will also put Practice back to two sessions, running from bottom to top on the practice order, then top to bottom. The bulk of the teams will begin filling the SageNet Center on Saturday, January 7, 2023, starting at 9:00 A.M. (CT). Pit Passes will also be sold Saturday starting at Noon. As the Chili Bowl crew has done the past few years, the very front of the Pits will be filled on Friday night. Teams needed then will be notified in advance. The SageNet Center will open Sunday, January 8, 2023, at 7:00 A.M., with Practice getting underway at 9:00 A.M. (CT). The shift to Sunday practice will also shift Monday's start times in line with the rest of the weekday qualifying nights, with Hot Laps at 4:00 P.M. and Racing at 5:00 P.M. (CT). The tentative breakdown of times per day is as follows: Saturday, January 7, 2023 Move-In……..…..…..………..……....……..….9:00 am - 8:00 pm Building/Pit Pass Booth Open...……......………………12:00 pm Sunday, January 8, 2023 Building/Pit Pass Booth Open...……......………………7:00 am Building Secured.........................................................7:00 am Practice………………………………….…...…...….….. 9:00 am Multi-Day Pit Pass $405~ Single day $30 Monday, January 9, 2023 Building/Pit Pass Booth Open...……......………………9:00 am Building Secured.........................................................1:00 pm Draw For Lineups........................................................2:00 pm Driver's Meeting..........................................................3:00 pm Hot Laps…………………….……..…….….………..…..4:00 pm Races………………………..………….….….…...….... 5:00 pm Multi-Day Pit Pass $375~ Single day $60 Tuesday, January 10, 2023 Building Opens............................................................9:00 am Pit Pass Booth Open………......……..............…….…11:00 am Building Secured.........................................................1:00 pm Draw For Lineups........................................................2:00 pm Driver's Meeting..........................................................3:00 pm Hot Laps…………………….……..…….….………..…..4:00 pm Races………………………..………….….….…...….... 5:00 pm Multi-Day Pit Pass $315 ~ Single day $60 Wednesday, January 11, 2023 Building Opens...........................................................9:00 am Pit Pass Booth Open..…….....................……………11:00 am Building Secured.........................................................1:00 pm Draw For Lineups........................................................2:00 pm Driver's Meeting..........................................................3:00 pm Hot Laps…………………….……..…….….………..…..4:00 pm Races………………………..………….….….…...….... 5:00 pm Multi-Day Pit Pass $255 ~ Single day $60 Thursday, January 12, 2023 Building Opens..........................................................9:00 am Pit Pass Booth Open..……......……………..............11:00 am Building Secured.........................................................1:00 pm Draw For Lineups........................................................2:00 pm Driver's Meeting..........................................................3:00 pm Hot Laps…………………….……..…….….………..…..4:00 pm Races………………………..………….….….…...….... 5:00 pm Multi-Day Pit Pass $195 ~ Single day $60 Friday, January 13, 2023 Building Secured/Pit Pass Booth Open..……......…….9:00 am Draw For Lineups........................................................2:00 pm Driver's Meeting..........................................................3:00 pm Hot Laps…………………….……..…….….………..…..4:00 pm Races………………………..………….….….…...….... 5:00 pm Multi-Day Pit Pass $135 ~ Single day $60 Saturday, January 14, 2023 Building Secured/Trade Show ……….………….…... 8:00 am Pit Pass Booth/Pit Gate ….….…...….…..……………. 8:00 am Racer's For Christ Service...........................................8:15 am Feature Hot Laps..……….……………….……….……9:00 am Opening Ceremonies..................................................6:00 pm Pit Pass $75 All times are subject to change For continued updates on the Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals presented by General Tire, fans can follow along on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram with @CBNationals.

- CHASE GUTSHALL NOTCHES 1ST SUPER SPORTSMAN WIN OF 2022 AT BAPS
YORK HAVEN, Pa.: Chase Gutshall has struggled through the first three events of the 2022 season, a trend that dates back to last year. It was getting a little frustrating. Gutshall just couldn't regain the speed he had at the beginning of last season and had to watch other drivers contend for a spot in Victory Lane week after week. That changed Saturday night at BAPS Motor Speedway. Not only did Gutshall finally get to start near the front, he was the class of the field in capturing the 30-Lap Larry Jackson Nationals presented by Piper Advertising and Jackson Lawn Car. "Not a lot of people realize what goes into these cars," Gutshall said after the $2,569 victory. "This year, it's pretty ridiculous price wise ... tires, motors, stuff like that. "This one is for my Dad. He never gives up on me, and he's in the shop Monday through Friday. He works in a garage from 8 a.m. to 5, and then from 5 until 12, he's in the race shop tinkering on the car, thinking, 'What can we do to make this car faster?' "Last year, we first got this Sledgecraft, and this is the fastest car we've ever ran. It transfers weight pretty good, and I never felt that way in a car. Midway through the season, we lost that drive, and we all put our heads together. We were trying shocks, we were trying motors, bars, and we went back to the set-up we had when we got this car, and here we are." Gutshall started on the pole and beat Troy Rhome into the first corner. Rhome fell back to fourth on Lap 2, with Scott Dellinger and Jay Fannasy passing him for position. The Middletown, Pa., ace was setting a pretty good pace. Dellinger stayed within striking distance, but he couldn't challenge for the position until Eric Rutz and Davey Walsh crashed on the frontstretch on Lap 9. On the restart, Dellinger still couldn't make a bid. Kenny Edkin, who started eighth, made the biggest move, getting past Fannasy and Dellinger to take over the second position on the 10th circuit. Catching Gutshall wasn't going to be as easy. The young upstart negotiated traffic with perfection and was able to remain a little over a half-second ahead of Edkin through the final lap to score the win. "When I got to traffic — I don't know, around Lap 10 — this motor was acting up and is still running a little hot, right now," Gutshall said. "I don't know what is wrong. I saw the temperature gauge on the last lap, and I was figuring out whether to pull in or say, 'Screw it.,' and run it. I stayed in it. "As soon as the flagman showed the blue and yellow stripe, those guys ran their line. I just knew that if I hit my marks, those guys were low enough that I could get in there and run on the cushion and keep this thing ripping." Edkin finished second, with Dellinger placing third and earning his fourth top-five finish in four events. Tony Jackson, who won the previous week, stormed from 17th to fourth, and two-time winner and point leader Russ Mitten completed the top five. The Creekside Auto Sales 358 Late Model provided the most entertainment of the evening with three lead changes and a 20-Lap event that came down to the last lap. Randy Stoudt came out on top, making a last-lap pass on Chase Billet to take the victory. It was his second win in two starts at the speedway this season. Matt Murphy started on the pole and led the first lap before giving way to Billet. Any chance Murphy had of reclaiming the lead ended on Lap 4, when he rolled to a stop on the backstretch. As for Stoudt, he started ninth on the grid. He worked his way into the top five on Lap 1 and took over the runner-up spot four laps later. The Pottstown, Pa., driver stalked Billet before making his move on the last lap for the win. Billet had to settle for a second-place run. Joey Hoffer, D.J. Mease, and Jared Miller completed the top five in the main event. The Limited Stocks closed out the program, and Matt Chronister took the lead on the sixth circuit and completed his victory run in the 15-Lap affair. Chronister led the first three circuits from the pole, but Travis Brown got to the front in a hurry to lead two laps. Chronister regained the top spot and was able to take the victory by a slim .464 seconds at the stripe. A.J. Hoffner and Matt Worley completed the podium. Rob Rudisill Jr. and 13th-place starter Brandon Hoffner rounded out the top five.

- MATTHEW HICKS WINS $1,000 IMCA MODIFIED MAIN EVENT AT PERRIS
(Perris, CA, May 1, 2022) It was a night to be named "Matt" if you were racing at Perris Auto Speedway on Saturday night. Moments after Matt Mitchell won the USAC/CRA main event, Santee, California's Matthew Hicks drove from eighth place to score a convincing victory in the $1,000.00 to win 20 lap IMCA Modified main. The race saw the Modifieds teaming up with sprint cars for the first time in years at the track and they were well received by the sprint car fans on hand. 279701269_5005809702788725_4321039767926497275_n.jpg Matt Hicks and his crew after his victory in the $1,000.00 to win IMCA Modified main event at Perris Auto Speedway. Doug Allen photo. Popular local Alyssa Smith of Norco started on the pole for the 20-lapper with multi-time PAS winner Justin Dunn of Riverside alongside. Smith immediately jumped into the lead when starter Steve Russell waved the green flag to begin the main event. Dunn, 2007 track modified champion Randy Thornell of Apple Valley, Dustin Stanley of Lakeside, and Ramona's Kyle Morris all pursued the "Hot Rod Blonde" into turn one. Smith had built up a quarter straightaway lead when the race was slowed on lap 5 when Lake Elsinore's Anthony Merritt stopped in turn one. Once the green flag signaled a return to racing, Smith was being chased by Dunn, Stanley, Thornell, and New River, Arizona's Brenda Kirby. At that time, Hicks had only advanced one position to seventh from his eighth starting spot. However, things changed quickly as Hicks, in his Lyle Hunter Tax Service/Klaw Inc #28, passed three cars on lap five to move up to fourth. As Smith was starting to pull away again, fans were starting to notice Hicks. He was having little trouble moving forward, and his car was not only fast, but it was working wherever he placed it on the track. He used an inside move to pass Stanley on lap six. One lap later he went to the extreme outside, got a fantastic run off the turn two cushion, and took the second spot away from Dunn. That left him with only one car to pass and that was Smith who had built up a half straightaway lead again. Three laps after securing second, Hicks had caught up to the race-long leader. Coming off turn two on lap 10, he peeked to the outside of Smith, but she beat him back to the stripe. The persistent Hicks dove to the inside and threw a slider that allowed him to slip past her for the lead going into turn one. However, the Pediatric Dental Assistant quickly crossed back underneath Hicks and reclaimed the lead as they exited turn two. One lap later, Hicks used an inside move coming off turn two and took the lead back. From that point on, he moved away. With Hicks securing the lead, many redirected their attention to the war that had been raging for third all race long. Kirby went from fifth to third on lap 13, but three laps later she slowed on the back straight with a problem and returned to the pits. A late-race yellow with three laps to go only intensified the battle for third. Over the final three circuits, Dunn, Thornell, Morris, and Kiefer duked it out for the spot and at one time went four-wide coming off turn two. On the next to Last lap, Kiefer entered turn one in sixth. Much to the excitement of the crowd, by the time he arrived in turn three he had advanced to third! When the checkers ended the night of racing, Hicks crossed the line nearly a half straight in front of Smith. The third spot went to Kiefer, Smith's boyfriend, with Thornell fourth and Morris fifth. "I have to thank my dad first," Hicks told the appreciative crowd after the race. "He put in a lot of work this offseason doing research. We picked this car up from Victory Circle. We made a couple changes for how I like to drive, and this thing came alive. It was just a rocket ship tonight." "Perris Auto Speedway, you put on a rad track tonight," Hicks continued. "This is the best track we have had for the modifieds. Those Sprint cars make a rad track for us to race on." In the companion, PAS Senior Sprint Car main event, Seligman, Arizona's Richard McCormick scored a convincing win for his second PAS victory in two starts in 2022. Apple Valley's Stevie Rogers collected the first place trophy for the second time in a row in the PAS Young Guns. IMCA Modified Main Event (with starting positions) 1.

- Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: After MLRA education, Imhoff ready for Weekly Series Late Model campaign
WHEATLAND, MO. (April 27, 2022) - You see it in sports all the time, where teams play a strong out-of-conference schedule to both challenge themselves and toughen them up for regular-season play. Dalton Imhoff took this path last weekend. Even though the young Late Model driver from Jamestown knew the chance of actually beating the Lucas Oil MLRA Late Model regulars at last weekend's 9th MLRA Spring Nationals was a longshot, it was a win-win for Imhoff. With a new Black Diamond race car to break in, Imhoff got some valuable experience that could greatly benefit him as Lucas Oil Speedway's Big Adventure Weekly Racing Series gets rolling this Saturday. "You've got to be on your 'A' game with those guys," Imhoff said. "If you're off any little bit, you're off the pace." Imhoff didn't make the A Feature on Night One, but raced his way into the main event on Saturday. He finished 18th, which alone is no reason to throw a celebration, but the seat time against that quality of competition was priceless for the 25-year-old. "It was pretty awesome," Imhoff said. "It was our first race with our new car. Besides practice day, it was good to show up and not have any problems, to be able to jump right in and be fast with those guys." Next up is the Hermitage Lumber Late Model opener on Saturday night, which pays $1,000 to win courtesy of Hickamo Country Store. The Cedar Creek Beef Jerky Modifieds, Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods and O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars also will be in action as Ozarks Fox Presents the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series Spring Opener. Imhoff is set to begin his second full season of driving a Late Model after taking over the ride from his dad, Walt Imhoff, midway through the 2020 season. Dalton Imhoff had a solid 2021 season, finishing fifth in Lucas Oil Speedway points with a pair of third-place feature finishes. "We were pretty happy with the season," Imhoff said. "We were missing something on our setup, having a hard time on slick tracks mainly. We just never quite figured it out." The new Black Diamond has felt good underneath him so far with Imhoff giving credit to Ron Stuckey at Black Diamond for help on the setup. He also got to visit with Black Diamond driver and MLRA regular Garrett Alberson last weekend. "I was able to get a little feedback and information to hopefully help us out," he said. Imhoff said he also tried to soak in how the MLRA drivers maneuvered their cars and consistently hit the marks. "Just following them, learning where the fast part (of the track) is, more or less how to make a move around somebody that's as fast or faster than you," Imhoff said. "That's the biggest thing, learning how to pass when they're doing everything perfect." Dalton Imhoff started racing when he was 16 and ran a handful of Late Model shows in his dad's car. He then switched to Street Stocks and remained in that division until Walt - who now serves as crew chief - stepped away from driving two years ago due to his workload. The Imhoffs have a family farm and construction business. There's an interesting tidbit about the car number and why it changed from 69 with Walt behind the wheel to 96 with Dalton driving. "He was born in '69 and I was born in '96," Dalton Imhoff said. "So we just flopped the numbers when I went full-time in the car." Putting the 96 in victory lane for the first time at Lucas Oil Speedway is a primary goal. "My main goal is to knock that monkey off my back and win one," Dalton Imhoff said. "I'd like to be top-three in points. I don't know if we can make every race, but we're gonna try our best." Imhoff Construction and Imhoff Farm serve as primary sponsors, but Dalton said Donnie Cooper helps with parts and tires and Black Diamond's B.J. Robinson contributes setup knowledge. "Dad is the crew chief, but Russell Kueffer brings years of experience to us," Dalton Imhoff said. "He brings a wealth of knowledge to our team." Kids Power Wheel races: This week also will mark the start of Kids Power Wheel racing for youngsters ages 3-9 during intermission. The kids will race on the front straightaway during intermission, navigating a course outlined by orange cones.

- Last Lap Pass Nets Fraser The Victory, Whitley, Friend, Wagner Other Antioch Speedway Winners
Antioch, CA...April 23...Tommy Fraser won the 20 lap IMCA Sport Modified Main Event Saturday night at Antioch Speedway. The 2019 champion made his move as they raced to the white flag and brought home the victory. Over 80 drivers competed in the four division program. Nick Zapatero charged into the lead at the start, followed by Fraser and Mark Garner. They ran that way for several laps before a yellow flag waved for a Turn 4 tangle involving Chuck Golden, Jason Ryan Jr, Brianna Troen and Nick Caughman Jr. Zapatero led Fraser and KC Keller on the restart. Zapatero was doing a good job of leading the way, but he didn't have a very good Lap 18. A lap later, Zapatero pushed a little bit in Turn 3, and Fraser went down low in Turn 4 to grab the lead. Zapatero ended up spinning, and Fraser won ahead of Keller, Andrew Pearce, Mark Garner and Jonathan Hagio. Daniel Whitley picked up the win in the 20 lap Wingless Spec Sprint Main Event. The Hunt Series Rookie of the Year was piloting a car owned by Ted Finkenbinder, who also owns the third place finishing car of Jacob Tuttle. Two-time Watsonville champion Jimmy Christian led the opening lap before Rick Panfili spun in Turn 4 for a yellow flag. On the restart lap, Whitley got a good run exiting Turn 2 and passed teammate Jacob Tuttle for second. Whitley then went racing past Christian on the back straightaway. There were two yellow flags from there. The worst was a red flag incident that saw Kaimi Moniz-Costa and Bob Newberry get together on the back straightaway with Newberry rolling. As Whitley started to pull away in the waning laps, Christian had his hands full battling Tuttle for second. Whitley won by a straightaway, and Christian held off Tuttle for the runner-up finish as Jarrett Soares and Trey Walters rounded out the Top 5. Les Friend picked up the win in the 30 lap Pacific Coast General Engineering Hobby Stock Main Event. Looking for her fourth win, Misty Welborn brought the field to green flag ahead of Jason Robles and Clarence Holbrook. Welborn and Robles had a little bit of contact on Lap 10 as they battled in traffic. Welborn ended up with a flat tire, and Friend made a low pass in Turn 4 to take the lead. Friend was leading Robles and Holbrook at the halfway point of the race. Bobby Motts Jr moved into third on a Lap 19 restart. Friend set a rapid pace and scored the well-earned victory ahead of Robles, Motts, Holbrook and Jeff Bentancourt. James Graessle and Michaela Taylor won the two 10 lap B Mains with over 30 cars in competition. Point leader Danny Wagner won the 20 lap Delta Dwarf Car Main Event. This was his third win of the season. South Bay Dwarf Car competitor Dan Zuger led them to the green flag ahead of David Michael Rosa. Wagner quickly moved into third and made an inside pass on the backstretch on Lap 4 to gain second. A yellow flag waved on Lap 4 for David Rosa, and Zuger continued to lead Wagner and David Michael Rosa on the restart. Both Wagner and David Michael Rosa got around Zuger on Lap 6, and Devan Kammermann moved into third soonafter. Kammermann made a move around Rosa on Lap 8, and the battle was on between Wagner and Kammermann. At times the lead duo went side by side in the final 13 laps. However, Wagner kept his cool and brought it home to the victory. Kammermann settled for another second place finish, followed by Sean Catucci, Ellie Russo and David Michael Rosa.

- Johnny Scott earns Night One feature triumph in 9th annual Pitts Homes MLRA Spring Nationals
WHEATLAND, MO. (April 22, 2022) - Johnny Scott's early season roll in the Lucas Oil MLRA Series continued Friday night as he kicked off the 9th annual Pitts Homes MLRA Spring Nationals with a wire-to-wire win. Scott, of Las Cruces, New Mexico, set fast qualifying time, won his heat race, started on the pole and led all 30 laps to capture his second MLRA feature win in three outings in 2022. The caution-free 30-lap feature clicked off in only 9 minutes, 1 second. "We kind of hit on some stuff over in Wichita (81 Speedway) and kind of have been sticking with that," Scott said. "I have to thank my brother (Stormy). Without him I wouldn't be here. He keeps me in the loop and tells me what I probably should run. "Just everybody on the car that helps us go up and down the road, I definitely appreciate it. Everybody knows how expensive this stuff is. Without the sponsors, none of this would be possible. We're on a little hot streak and hopefully we can keep it up." Scott, who earned $5,000 for the feature win, prevailed by 1.3 seconds over fast-closing Jason Papich with Stormy Scott finishing third, Chris Simpson fourth and Cole Wells fifth. Meanwhile, the Night Two portion of the 9th annual Pitts Homes MLRA Spring Nationals will start one hour earlier than scheduled Saturday due to the threat of thunderstorms moving into the area late in the evening. Pit and spectator gates will now open at open at 3 p.m. on Saturday with hot laps at 5:30 and opening ceremonies at 6:05. Johnny Scott opened a five-second lead by lap 20 of the main event and held on from there as Papich, after moving into second, mounted a late charge to cut into the final margin. "I knew he was coming," Scott said of Papich. "I was kind of bottled up. There were probably six cars right there in a bunch and there was nowhere I could go. I was just trying to hit my marks and it worked out for us." Papich said getting into second past Kolby Vandenberg was a key. "But by the time we got to him, we were out of laps," Papich said of running down the leader. Vandenbergh ran second until lap 20 when he slid high in lapped traffic and fell back to sixth, with Papich moving into second and Stormy Scott to third. Johnny Scott set fast qualifying time with a circuit of 15.248 seconds. Vandenbergh had fast time in Group 2 at 15.550. McCowan leads all the way in USRA Modifieds: The reigning Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified track champion blew away the field in his opening Lucas Oil Speedway event of 2022, leading all 20 laps for the feature win. McCowan, of Urbana, finished 5.5 seconds in front of runner-up Matt Johnson with Jason Pursley finishing third, Dustin Hodges fourth and Kevin Blackburn fifth. "The track was amazing tonight," McCowan said. It's one of the best tracks we've on all year. We've been on a lot of tracks, down south and out in New Mexico earlier in January. This is what I like to race on. This is perfect tonight." McCowan, who picked up $750 for the win, started outside of the front row and quickly sprinted to the lead. Johnson and Pursley swapped the runner-up spot the first half of the race before Johnson settled into second to stay on lap 11. Timmerman earns Show-Me Vintage Racers win: Donnie Timmerman of El Dorado Springs passed Andy Wiles after a restart with five laps to go, capturing the Show-Me Vintage Racers feature win. "I ran Late Models for years and haven't drove the last five or six years," Timmerman said. "Rodney Ashworth gave me the opportunity to drive this and it was a lot of fun. All the people who used to come and watch me came tonight and it was a lot of fun." Timmerman started 13th and worked his way into position as Wiles led most of the race. Wiles, who started eighth, took over the lead on lap three and had built a 1.8-second lead over Daniel Schmidt before a caution three laps later slowed the action. By lap 10, Wiles had pushed his lead back to two seconds over Clevenger before the second caution bunched the field. Timmerman took advantage, slipping past Wiles on lap 11 and going on to capture the win from there. Tom Charles wound up third, coming from 21st and tailback at the start.

- MLRA Spring Nationals Spotlight: Four-time series champ Phillips relishes rare 'home' weekend
WHEATLAND, MO. (April 20, 2022) - Due to the nature of scheduling and with Modified action his primary focus in recent years, Springfield's Terry Phillips doesn't race as close to home as he used to. The 2021 inductee into the Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame gets to change that this weekend when he brings his Late Model to the 9th annual Pitts Homes MLRA Spring Nationals, Friday and Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway. "It's nice. I've been off from the Modified for about a month so it's an opportunity to run the Late Model a little more and kind of get into the swing of things," Phillips said earlier this week from his Springfield race shop. The two big nights of action will see the winner of Friday's feature taking home $5,000 and Saturday's feature winner earning $7,000. Joining the MLRA Late Models on the program on Friday night will be the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds running for $750-to-win and Show-Me Vintage Racers. Night two will find the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds again in action, along with the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars and Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods. The USRA Modifieds will be chasing a $1,000-to-win payday with the USRA Stock Cars and the USRA B-Mods feature winners earning $750. Phillips, who won his fourth MLRA championship in 2017, said it's always nice to race in front of his still-large fan base and his major sponsors, including Bolivar businessman Don Babb. "Wheatland is definitely a place I need to run good at," Phillips said. "I tend of struggle there in a Late Model, but hopefully we can get it going there this weekend." In his second season of driving a Capital Race Car, Phillips feels like he has reason for optimism. In a season-opening Lucas Oil MLRA doubleheader earlier this month at 81 Speedway near Wichita, Kansas, Phillips set fast qualifying time in his group and won his heat race on night two. He was near the front of the feature when caught up in an accident. "That's probably as good as I've had my Late Model in a while," Phillips said. "The night before the car wasn't very good, but we made some changes and got the car a lot better. Maybe we can build on that." Phillips said he likes the Capital chassis because "it's a well-built car" and owner Marshall Green, despite being based in Georgia, is always a ring away and willing to help. "He communicates real well. It's like having a crew chief just a phone call away," Phillips said. "He watches the races and helps you out. There's a lot of support there." Even though much of his focus has switched to Modifieds, the four-time MLRA champion said Late Models always will be his first love. "There's nothing better than a good-working Late Model," Phillips said. "But getting it to work good is another deal. If you're one-tenth off, you're in 10th place. It's a tough deal anymore. "It seems like I can go to Wheatland and run decent, then take the same set-up back and be terrible. Maybe if I just go there and don't think about it too much, it'll come natural to me. I put too much stress on it and I run worse." Pit gates open at 4 p.m. on Friday and Saturday with hot laps at 6:30 and opening ceremonies at 7:05. Admission prices: (Friday) Adults (16 and up) - $20 Seniors (62 and up)/Military - $17 Youth (ages 6-15) - $10 Kids (5 and under) - FREE Family pass - $50 Pit pass - $35 (Saturday) Adults (16 and up) - $25 Seniors (62 and up)/Military - $22 Youth (ages 6-15) - $10 Kids (5 and under) - FREE Family pass - $60 Pit pass - $40 This weekend will be for track points and USRA national points for the Modifieds, B-Mods and Stock Cars.

- 9th annual Pitts Homes MLRA Spring Nationals set for Friday, Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (April 18, 2022) - The first special event of Lucas Oil Speedway's season is set for this weekend as the Lucas Oil MLRA Late Models roll into Wheatland for the 9th annual Pitts Homes MLRA Spring Nationals. The two big nights of action will see winner of Friday's feature taking home $5,000 and Saturday's feature winner earning $7,000. "Our first big Late Model event of the season should be a good one and we're looking forward to two great nights of racing," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. The MLRA Spring Nationals seems to have been jinxed by Mother Nature in recent years. The event was rained out in 2018, 2019 and 2021 with the 2020 event canceled due to COVID-19. Johnny Scott of Las Cruces, New Mexico, leads the early MLRA point standings through only two events. A scheduled three-race Iowa swing last weekend was rained out. Joining the MLRA Late Models on the program on Friday night will be the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds running for $750-to-win and Show-Me Vintage Racers. Night two will find the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds again in action, along with the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars and Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods.

- Neeley Grabs First Spec Sprint Win, Grenert, Bordenave, Brown Also Win At Antioch Speedway
Antioch, CA...April 16...Zack Neeley scored the win in the 20 lap Wingless Spec Sprint Main Event Saturday night at Antioch Speedway. This was only his second ever start in the John Hendrickson owned car, and he had to withstand some serious pressure from Jacob Williams in the waning laps. The race had multiple yellow flags before a lap was recorded, and two-time champion Dan Gonderman took the early lead ahead of Josh Gillis and Neeley. Neeley slipped into second on the fourth lap and made a Turn 2 pass on Gonderman for the lead a lap later. Jimmy Christian gained second with a Turn 4 pass on the sixth lap and set his sights on Neeley. Unfortunately, contact between Christian and Neeley on the front straightaway on Lap 8 left Christian with damage as the yellow flag waved. Neeley led Williams on the restart. A Lap 11 red flag waved after a tangle between Gonderman and Ethon Lanfri saw Lanni roll in Turn 4. Neeley continued to lead Williams and James East on the restart. Williams begin pressuring Neeley for the lead, and the duo went side by side on the 18th lap. Williams went low in Turn 4 as they worked the 19th lap. Williams appeared to make the winning pass, but a yellow flag waved for a Clint Motta spin in Turn 2. Neeley led the final restart and the remaining circuits to win ahead of Williams, East, Bernard and Gonderman. NorCal Dwarf Car stat Michael "Spanky" Grenert won the 20 lap Delta Dwarf Car Main Event. Grenert had to battle point leader Danny Wagner to get the lead. David Rosa took the early lead, only to surrender it to a low pass in Turn 3 by Dan Geil on the second lap. David Michael Rosa moved into the second spot a lap later. Devan Kammermann settled into third and made a low pass in Turn 4 on lap five for second. However, there was contact on the backstretch between Kammermann and Geil on Lap 9, allowing Grenert and Wagner to race by for the first two positions. An outside pass on the frontstretch on Lap 12 put Wagner into the lead, and David Michael Rosa lost a tire on the backstretch for a yellow flag moments later. Grenert made a big move on the restart that ended with him going low in Turn 4 to get the lead. It was close between the lead duo for a few laps, but Grenert would prevail at the checkered flag. Wagner settled for second ahead of Kammermann, Chance Russell and Geil. Sage Boardenave won the 20 lap WMR Midget Main Event. The race had a few mishaps and was a battle of attrition. Local star Bryant Bell took the early lead ahead of Boardenave and Brody Petrie. The red flag waved after two laps when Logan Mitchell flipped in Turn 2. Bell continued to lead Boardenave and Petrie on the restart, but another red flag fell when Tyler Dolacki flipped in Turn 4 on Lap 4. Bell led Boardenave and Petrie on the next restart. Multi-time champion David Prickett headed for the pits, and Bell was slowed when he hit a rut going through Turns 3 and 4 on Lap 10. A lap later, Boardenave made a Turn 4 pass to get the lead with Petrie following intp second. Bell ended up pitting, and Boardenave got the win ahead of Petrie, Kyle Hawse, Bell and Prickett. Tom Brown won the 20 lap Mini Stock Main Event. The reigning Antioch and Petaluma champion settled into an early second behind the Dana Gardner, but a high pass in Turn 4 of the fifth lap gained Brown the lead. Brown pulled away a little bit on Gardner, leaving Shan Titman and Dan Abitz to battle for the third position. Abitz slowed on the backstretch on the 10th lap and would get lapped a couple of laps later. Brown was never really challenged after getting the lead and he won ahead of Gardner, Titman, Abitz and Laina Bales. When five Pacific Coast General Engineering Hobby Stock drivers came out to do some practice laps, track officials elected to give them an exhibition race. Jason Robles won that 10 lapper. Robles led from the start ahead of Danny Aves and reigning champion Larry McKinzie Jr. Aves and McKinzie had a side-by-side battle for several laps before McKinzie gained second on Lap 6. Robles won ahead of McKinzie, Aves, Michael Mates and Angela Brown. Next up on the CoCo Farms Calendar will be the Wingless Spec Sprints next Saturday night.

- Kade Morton Earns First Career ASCS Sooner Win In Rain Shortened Feature At Creek County Speedway
Bryan Hulbert - SAPULPA, Okla. (April 15, 2022) Mother Nature rolled in and tried to steal the win, but with the A-Feature well past the halfway point on Friday night, Kade Morton was still able to earn his first career victory with the American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Sooner Region presented by Smiley's Racing Products. Leading start to finish on Autism Awareness Night, Morton was stalked through the final laps by Blake Hahn. Jumping fifth to second following a Lap 19 restart, Hahn kept pace with Morton before the caution came out on Lap 26 as a small cell began dumping rain on the quarter-mile. Keeping cars rolling for a few laps in hopes the cell would pass quickly, that was not the case as the track began to shine, forcing officials to checkered flag the event. Charging from ninth, Blake Hahn ended up second with Jeffrey Newell third. Brandon Anderson, from 11th, made it to fourth with Chance Morton in fifth. Sean McClelland moved from 12th to sixth, followed by Fred Mattox from 14th. Andrew Deal was the night's Hard Charger, earning $50 from Bishop Motorsports, with ten positions gained in eighth. Noah Harris and Casey Wills completed the top ten. Along with the $2,000 winner's check, Morton also picked up an extra $50 per lap led. Passing Points Podcast awarded Morton $50 for High Point and drawing the pole. Other awards included $50 to the eighth-place draw (Rees Moran) from the Passing Points Podcast. Longest Tow was $50 (Kyler Johnson) from Okanna Moms. Lap 10, tenth place, got 250 Hero Cards (Fred Mattox) from DPC Media. The top 3 will all receive a DVD copy of the night's race from Mud Dawg Media. The next event for the American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Sooner Region presented by Smiley's Racing Products will be against the ASCS Warrior Region presented by Impact Signs, Awnings, and Wraps at Lake Ozark Speedway on Friday, April 29, and Saturday, April 30. Both nights are $2,000 to win, $300 to start. Events in 2022 will be streamed live on http://www.racindirt.com.

- Ozarks Racers Hall of Famer Sharp looks forward to Lucas Oil Speedway's Enduro Easter Bowl 150
WHEATLAND, MO. (April 13, 2022) - The inaugural Enduro Easter Bowl 150 will bring several new drivers to Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday night to chase the $1,500 first prize in the 150-lap main event. Rick Sharp, who's done just about everything in 50 years of racing on Ozarks-area ovals, saw it as the perfect opportunity to have some fun while knocking off a bucket-list item. "I'm doing this because it's my last year to race," Sharp said. "I've never ran at that track. I was running asphalt when it opened. I thought, 'Well, I have this car we've been running at Bolivar … let's take it and make it into an Enduro car. "I'll go out and see if I can last 150 laps." Opening ceremonies begin at 6:30 p.m. with the Enduro marathon to follow. An Open Test and Tune for anyone other than Enduro cars is set for 4-6 p.m. Pit gates will open at 2 p.m. and grandstands at 4. Sharp, of Fair Grove, is a member of the Ozarks Area Racers Foundation Hall of Fame in the Legends category. He made his mark on paved tracks since the late 1980s, but is not a stranger to dirt. Sharp recalled his first race back in 1972 at the old Bolivar Speedway dirt track. He started the feature on the outside of row one with Roger Chism, a well-known dirt contender, right behind him. "Roger asked me, 'Sharp, what are you gonna do when they drop the green flag?' I said, 'Roger, I'm gonna get up next to the wall and let all you guys go by so I won't be in the way.' He said that would be a good idea. "But I didn't run asphalt regularly until 1989. I can relate back to when we were running good on dirt, especially one summer. The top four were (Dale) Roper, (Rex) Merritt, (Earl) Muilenburg and me, in various orders. I didn't win, but I stayed in the top four. It was a lot of fun." Sharp does have experience preparing cars for Enduro races, at least a couple of times over the years for his son, Riley and friend Pee Wee Roper. He said endurance and consistency will be more important than speed in this type of race. Action will begin from a three-wide, standing start on the front stretch. The race will only be stopped if the track is blocked or a driver is in danger, meaning non-stop action at any given moment. "Everybody is all jazzed up to start and anxious to go," Sharp said. "I'd like to try to keep from being put a lap down early, as I start back in (26th). You don't know. The guy who laps you twice might not even finish the race. You just have to try to run consistent laps." Fans are encouraged to come out earlier for an Open Test and Tune session from 4-6 p.m. Competitors in each of the four Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series classes - Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds, Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods, O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars and Hermitage Lumber Late Models - plus any others from the region are invited to participate. Lucas Oil Speedway also will be holding an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids from 5-5:30 p.m. Youngsters can sign up at the Frogs Jr Fan Club Table on the midway before 5. The Easter Bunny also will be visiting the kids. Entries remain open for the inaugural Enduro Easter Bowl 150 with entry fee $150.

- DeCarlo Gets It Done At Antioch Speedway, Smith, Welborn, Foulger Also Win
Antioch, CA...April 9...Nick DeCarlo won the 20 lap IMCA Modified Main Event Saturday night at Antioch Speedway. It was the second win of the season for the current point leader, and he overtook rookie Trevor Clymens to get the job done. Clymens raced into the early lead ahead of Sean Wilson and Kenneth Robles. DeCarlo started deeper in the field, and Clymens had a straightaway advantage wiped out by a Lap 7 yellow flag. Clymens continued to lead Robles on the restart with DeCarlo already up to third. DeCarlo went around Robles on the frontstretch to take second on the ninth lap. DeCarlo was working the outside groove very well and made an outside pass on the backstretch on the 12th lap to take the lead from Clymens. A late yellow flag bunched the field on Lap 17, but it didn't stop DeCarlo. As DeCarlo charged on ahead of everybody else, Aaron Crowell made an outside pass in Turn 4 to take second from Clymens. DeCarlo got the win ahead of Crowell, and Bobby Motts Jr beat Clymens back to the checkered flag in a drag race for third. Robles settled for fifth. Ryan Smith won an eventful 20 lap Super Stock Main Event. The division got a major boost when a race down south got canceled due to the weather, sending several drivers to Antioch Speedway. For the first 12 laps, Tri State Pro Stock Series star Richard Brace Jr led as Ryan.Smith and.Chris Smith battled with Jay Sears for the second position. A backstretch pass on Lap 13 gained Ryan Smith the lead. Sears and Brace battled fiercely for second until Sears headed pitside on Lap 17. Ryan Smith went on to win ahead of Brace, Jim Freethy, Jimmy Robbins and Chad Hammer. Misty Welborn won the 20 lap Pacific Coast General Engineering Hobby Stock Main Event. On this occasion, she started on the front row and proceeded to lead all 20 laps in victory. Michaela Taylor gave chase early on before surrendering to Larry McKinzie Jr. When McKinzie had problems and stalled in Turn 1, he was clobbered in the rear end by Jewell Crandall for a Lap 9 yellow flag. Welborn led Taylor on the restart, leaving the battle for third. Aiden Ponciano held that position until being passed by Chris Long on Lap 18. Welborn won by a straightaway ahead of Taylor, Long, Taylor DeCarlo and Ponciano. Troy Foulger won the 20 lap IMCA Stock Car Main Event. He started in the back as Anthony Giuliani took the early lead ahead of reigning champion Travis Dutra. Foulger got up to third very quickly and made an inside pass in Turn 4 on Lap 4 to take second. Foulger worked on reeling in Giuliani. The duo ran a couple of side by side laps before Foulger went low in Turn 2 on Lap 12 to take the lead. Giuliani had a mechanical issue on Lap 16 for a yellow flag. Foulger led Dutra and Jason Robles on the restart, and they would finish in that order as Jason Jennings and Joe Gallaher completed the Top 5. Racing continues next Saturday night with a visit from the WMR Midgets and the season debut for the Wingless Spec Sprints. Also competing will be the Delta Dwarf Cars and Mini Stocks.

- Tyler Erb Gets First Lucas Oil Win of the Year at Hagerstown
Hagerstown, MD (April 9, 2022) - It was a clean sweep for Tyler Erb on Saturday Night at Hagerstown Speedway as the 25-year-old Texas native set Allstar Performance overall fast time, won his heat, and led all 50 laps to win the Conococheague 50 in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series-sanctioned event. Defending race winner Tim McCreadie finished in second followed by Gregg Satterlee, Kyle Hardy, and points leader Devin Moran. With the win, Erb becomes the 13th different winner in 14 Lucas Oil races held at Hagerstown Speedway, which is celebrating its 75th Anniversary this year. Erb jumped to the lead at the start of the race on an evening where there were a few rain-shower delays, but the track crew whipped the ½ mile facility in quick shape as the program was complete by 8:30 PM. Only one Stop-Tech caution flag slowed Erb during the event. This win was not only Erb's first ever win at Hagerstown, but also the first at this track for his crew chief Randall Edwards. Bryan Bernheisel pressured Erb until McCreadie, who had scored a thrilling last lap victory a year ago at Hagerstown, passed Bernheisel on lap four to take second. McCreadie was running a different line than Erb and got within a couple of car lengths as the two battled up to the lap 28 yellow. After the caution Erb went unchallenged for the lead the rest of the way as McCreadie fell into the clutches of Hardy and Satterlee. Hardy was looking for a podium finish in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, but Satterlee was able to wrestle the spot away from him with 12 laps remaining. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 17th time in his career Erb becomes the seventh different winner this season. "That's the way we draw it out every week to have a night like this, but it doesn't always pan out. I am glad we got this in with the weather and everything. It was really a good crowd for not the most desirable weather conditions. I can't believe it honestly. The first time I came here I was so bad, it was unbelievable, last year we got a little bit better but to win this year just means a lot. I am excited to get to Port Royal tomorrow. To get a win here it's a real confidence booster, this place just moved up on my list of race tracks I like now." McCreadie, the reigning series champion, came home in second. "We were starting to fade a little bit before that caution. This is the car we ran last year. People think oh it's Hagerstown so you're always going to be good here. I have driven enough to know we made a big stride today." Satterlee, 2016 Lucas Oil winner with a last lap pass at Hagerstown, rounded out the podium with a third-place run. "We really needed to win my heat race. We just needed a little better starting position for the feature but all-in-all it was good night. We are working on a couple of new things with the car this year to get better. I don't think we have quite got where we need to be, but we are definitely close." The winner's Best Performance Motorsports Rocket Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Bulk Material Lift, M&W Transport, Lucas Oil Products, Midwest Sheet Metal, Bazell Race Fuels, KBC Graphics, Roberts Bee Company, and First-Class Septic. Completing the top ten were Jimmy Owens, Earl Pearson Jr., Matt Cosner, Ricky Thornton Jr., and Shane Clanton.

- Stock Car Excitement Comes To Antioch Speedway
Antioch, CA...Stock Car racing is the name of the game this Saturday night at Antioch Speedway. In addition to the IMCA Modifieds, the IMCA Stock Cars will be back for their third appearance of the season, joined by the Pacific Coast General Engineering Hobby Stocks and the Super Stocks. It's shaping up to be an exciting season so far, and we're just getting started. The IMCA Modifieds have been a wide open battle. The three races held so far have found five-time champion Troy Foulger, Kellen Chadwick and Nick DeCarlo each taking a trip to the Winner's Circle. The common denominator in the point battle is that DeCarlo and Chadwick, one-time Antioch champions themselves, have been in the hunt at every race. The standings find DeCarlo leading Chadwick by just two points, while 2016 champion Bobby Motts Jr is eight points out of the lead in third. We haven't seen Chadwick really competing for points at the speedway in quite some time. As the second-generation competitor became faster, he chose to take his talents on the road to compete for bigger money at other venues. This has led to him winning prestigious races such as the Beads Shipwreck Nationals at Grays Harbor in Washington, the R Charles Snyder Salute in Oregon as well as other big races in California. Chadwick even won the big $7,000 prize in the West Coast Nationals at Antioch in 2019. When the money is on the line, Kellen comes up big. When he was younger, Kellen was also a fast competitor in the Outlaw Kart divisions, and he instantly developed a love for race cars. A scary incident in a Late Model could have ended his life and his career, but Chadwick is a tough competitor. After he recovered, he not only returned, but he remains one of the best IMCA Modified drivers on the West Coast. He also competes in the new IMCA Stock Car class and is a contender for that championship, piloting a car for Rich Quadrelli. IMCA is better known for their Modified divisions, but the Stock Car class is catching fire in California. The consistency shown by Chadwick after two events has him just four markers behind leader Fred Ryland and one ahead of reigning champion Travis Dutra. Anthony Giuliani has done well to rank just eight points out of lead and two ahead of Jason Robles, who got the win last time out. The Stock Cars are noteworthy for the side by side racing they've given the fans as this style of racing is just a little bit more thrilling than your average Hobby Stock race. The Hobby Stocks are definitely delivering the excitement to the fans. Reigning division champion Larry McKinzie Jr could have ended up calling it a night after an incident between he and Jared Baugh in last week's race. Larry restarted at the back of the pack. He kept at it and completed his charge to the front with a last lap pass on Ken Johns for second. The glory went to Misty Welborn, who scored a popular second career win. McKinzie now leads 2020 Mini Stock champion Jess Paladino by 14 points and Welborn by 18. Not to be forgotten in this battle are the tied Michaela Taylor and rookie Taylor DeCarlo, 22 points out of the lead. DeCarlo is the granddaughter of 80-year-old IMCA Modified competitor Terry DeCarlo Sr and the daughter of Top 5 Modified competitor Terry DeCarlo Jr. She's been competing in Micro Sprints, but she decided to take on the challenge of the Hobby Stock and had a fifth place finish last time out. Much like DeCarlo, Michaela Taylor is a threat to win. She showed just how much she has improved over the last two seasons with her run at the front of the pack in the Main Event for several laps last week. Michaela is driving the #71 Hobby Stock, made famous by her grandmother, Debbie Clymens. In fact, Debbie has run as a passenger with her, which means 17-year-old Taylor is getting advice from an Antioch Speedway Hall of Famer. The way she's looking, a Main Event win could be in her future. Management has decided to give the Super Stock drivers an opportunity to rebuild the class. It was a little bit late notice for some of the drivers last time out, and reigning champion Jim Freethy beat 2020 champion Mike Walko to get the win. Walko has competed in Late Models and IMCA Modifieds at Antioch and did well in both divisions. Management has put out a call to drivers from neighboring Petaluma Speedway that they are welcome to come race with the Antioch competitors. Local drivers Jimmy Robbins and Michael Burch are said to be preparing their cars to battle the likes of Chad Hammer and Joey Ridgeway Jr. Who might show up from Petaluma is unknown, but several drivers have expressed interest. Petaluma drivers have done well at Antioch in their visits through the years, and they certainly add to the excitement. This Saturday night's program starts with the gates opening at 3:00 pm. This is to accommodate a special $5 beer happy hour event at the south beer garden, which runs until 5:00 p.m. the first race will start at 6:00 pm. Ticket prices are $20 for adults, $15 for military, senior (60 and over) and children (under 11) with children five and under free. For further information, go to www.antiochspeedway.com.

- Foulger Back On Top At Antioch Speedway, Keller, Welborn, Freethy Other Winners
Antioch, CA...April 2...Troy Foulger won the 20 lap IMCA Modified Main Event Saturday night at Antioch Speedway. He becomes the third different winner of the aeason as he piloted the Bowers Motorsports Modified to the win. Foulger is a five-time champion at the speedway. Trevor Clymens led a pair of laps with the yellow flag waving twice. Clymens led Foulger on the Lap 3 restart, but a low pass in turn 2 a lap later gained Foulger the lead. Kellen Chadwick went low in Turn 4 on Lap 5 to take second with Nick DeCarlo quickly striking to third. Foulger had a straightaway advantage by Lap 10 as DeCarlo battled Chadwick to take second. DeCarlo finally grabbed the spot on a Lap 14 restart. Foulger was never really threatened as he won with DeCarlo holding off Chadwick for second. Buddy Kniss and Clymens completed the Top 5. KC Keller won the 20 lap IMCA Sport Modified Main Event. The race had to be restarted after a tangle that involved point leader Fred Ryland in Turn 4. 2019 champion Tommy Fraser took the early lead ahead of Dylan Connelly. Keller went low in Turn 2 to take second on the fourth lap and made an inside pass in Turn 4 three laps later to take the lead from Fraser. Andrew Pearce moved into second on Lap 9 before a yellow flag flew for Connolly. Keller led the restart with Jacob Mallet Jr moving past Pearce and into second. Mallet made a backstretch pass on Keller on Lap 11 for the lead. Pearce and Keller ran closely behind Mallet in the battle for second. A low pass in Turn 3 on Lap 19 put Keller into the lead with Pearce following into second. Keller went on to the impressive win with Pearce and Mallet running nose to tail behind him. Jeremy Hoff and Fraser completed the Top 5. Misty Welborn won the 20 lap Pacific Coast General Engineering Hobby Stock Main Event. It was her second win of the season. Looking for his second-straight win, Ken Johns led early ahead of Jared Baugh and Larry McKinzie Jr. A low move in Turn 4 on Lap 5 put Baugh into the lead. There was a back and forth battle for the lead as it changed hands a couple of times with Baugh still in front on Lap 8. Contact with McKinzie exiting Turn 4 on Lap 9 left Baugh stalled in Turn 2. Michaela Taylor led the restart with Welborn moving into second a lap later. Taylor spun exiting Turn 4 for a Lap 12 yellow flag. Welborn led Johns and Jeff Bentancourt on the restart. They ran that way until McKinzie gained third on Lap 16. As Welborn sped to the checkered flag, McKinzie beat Johns back to the line for second. Bentancourt and Taylor DeCarlo completed the Top 5. Jim Freethy won the 15 lap Super Stock Main Main Event. Heat race winner Mike Walko jumped into the early lead ahead of reigning champion Freethy and Joey Ridgeway. A low move in Turn 4 of the second lap gained Freethy lead. The only slow down of the race occurred on the ninth lap when Ridgeway spun in Turn 4. Freethy continued to lead Walko and Chad Hammer on the restart. Freethy pulled away to about a quarter of a straightaway lead, and Walko brushed the Turn 4 wall on exit heading to the checkered flag. Freethy won ahead of Walko, Hammer and Ridgeway.

- NARC NEWSLINE - March 30, 2022
NARC NEWSLINE - March 30, 2022 - By Jim Allen ... In today's racing world, the offseason seems to get shorter and shorter. It goes something like this: You wave the checkered at the final event, you stage an awards banquet, you wolf down some Turkey, negotiate a schedule, exchange some Christmas presents, set some New Year's resolutions, buy some flowers for Valentines Day ... and BAMM ... it's racing season again. The turnaround barely allows enough time to dial in the details. And that applies whether you are a sprint car team, a track promoter, a sponsor, or a racing organization like us. But like almost every reality show, everybody seems to step up their game when there is a pressing deadline, like a NARC Fujitsu General USA Sprint Car season opener. With that in mind, here is a hit list of topics you may want to know about as you dial in your travel details: 2022 NARC SCHEDULE: For those of you perpetually stuck watching TikTok videos, there was a recent announcement regarding the 2022 Louie Vermeil Classic. There was bad news and good news. The bad news was that HMC Promotions announced that the awesome two-day event will not be run in 2022. A Chico-sequel didn't make financial sense and Calistoga Speedway hasn't reopened yet. The good news is that Tommy Hunt & Company are actively working to drive the process to get Calistoga Speedway open again with a full slate of events in 2023. There is a SAVE CALISTOGA SPEEDWAY campaign that could use your help. At this point, you race fans only have two choices: Condos ... or ... the best half-mile race track in California. I'll take Calistoga Speedway for $500 Alex. Log in to help HERE! If you do the math the same way as I do, that means the official NARC campaign will consist of 25 racing events in 2022. We will not be replacing the Labor Day dates with another venue. When you add it all up, the NARC Sprint Cars will be racing for more than $800,000 in purse money, cash awards and product contingencies. That's a huge WIN! BANG FOR THE BUCK: The Fastest Four Days in Motorsports just got more interesting. How interesting? How about $40,000 interesting in the form of a potential bonus to any driver who can sweep all four of the events. The Lloyd's of London insurance policy is betting against the house on this one, figuring a lot that can happen at three different tracks in four consecutive days. Let's hope the stars line up for one of our drivers to do the "happy dance" in Grays Harbor Raceway's victory lane on May 29th. There is also a possible step-down bonus. If a driver picks off three of the four shows, they can pocket an extra $5000 from Mr. Lloyds of London. (NOTE: It's one, or the other, not both.) For those needing a refresher, the four races are at Southern Oregon Speedway on Thursday, May 26th, followed by a Friday show at Willamette Speedway, and the May 28th and 29th shows at Grays Harbor. For win-list comparison purposes, the 2019 version of the FFDM produced four different winners. The 2021 edition produced three. As of right now, we have 15 California teams committed to this adventure, plus several locals. Bob Montoya of Swift Metal Finishing has also kicked in an additional $500 to the team that can pass the most cars during those four races. That is on top of the regular Hardcharger Award that he sponsors to the tune of $150 per night. Throw in travel money for California teams and some healthy purses and it should be a great Memorial Day weekend. By the way, there will be a race car hauler "Salute to the Red, White & Blue Parade" down main street in Elma, WA between the two-day newly-labeled FFDM Timber Cup shows Grays Harbor. For those of you who haven't been there, Elma's sort of a "one stop light" kind of town (pop, 3300 or so) where the population triples on race day. The parade is Sunday. All NARC teams will be herded out of the pits to a high noon staging area at the Elma High School parking lot. It will dish up a nice dose of small-town Americana. WHAT IF?: California continues to be the hotbed for great young open wheel talent. Unfortunately for us, that talent gets recognized on a national level and with a blink of an eye, they are gone. Just think what California 410 sprint car racing would be today if the likes of Buddy Kofoid, Gio Scelzi, Mitchell Moles, Cole Macedo were weekly warriors. Can't fault any of them, because they are "living the dream." Congrats to Giovanni on his two CA Outlaw wins. Keep your eyes on 16-year-old's Joel Myers Jr. and Max Mittry! NARC STUFF: Here is an unusual moment in California sprint car history: Two of the biggest powerhouses in NARC motorsports ... Roth Motorsports & Tarlton Motorsports are entering the 2022 campaign with drivers who have only three career NARC victories between them. How is that even possible? Don't expect that to last very long though, because their drivers and equipment are really good. To date, Mitchell Faccinto has parked it three times in NARC victory lane and Australian Kerry Madsen is basically making his first foray on the NARC campaign. That is the same 50-year-old Kerry Madsen who has 28 World of Outlaw wins on his impressive resume'. The Roth cars are powered by Toyota-powerplants. If you are a betting man, take the "over" at six wins this season for the Roth's and Tarltons. ... It's going to be nice to see Justyn "Indiana" Cox a few more times this year with NARC. His team is getting their two 410 motors back in May. For those of you who might not remember, Indiana finished third in final King of the West standings in 2016 behind Kyle Hirst and Bud Kaeding. ... Australian Jessie Attard will be rolling into California in May with his race car team. He plans to race with us throughout the summer. Nobody will dispute that he was extremely fast last season. Just needs a break or two. ... The Kimo's Tropical Car Wash Pit Crew Competition has been moved to June 10th at Ocean Speedway. $1000 is on the line for three teams; $500 to the winner! The first entry is the Mike Phulps Motorsports team. ... Hoosier Racing Tires is working their tails off to manufacture tires, but don't be surprised if there is a bump or two in the road (like everything these days.) The Hoosier team is very proactive in the process because nobody wants tire availability to become an issue. ... Motors are another issue. If you wanted to buy a 410 motor right now - or for that matter, a 360 block - it's slim pickings right now. ... Let's hope that gas prices drop soon for everybody's sake. ... The NARC410.com website has undergone a nice facelift during the off season. It's also ADA compliant. Use it as a resource for news on everything we do! To day, the site has been accessed by 409,000+ unique users. Now, if we can just get all of you to the race track! ... Stockton Dirt Track promoter Tony Noceti is hard at work repositioning and realigning his track lighting. He also added 10 new LED lights and has plans to add 10 more in the weeks to come! On the PR side of things, Noceti also got his racing highlight show going on local Sacramento-Stockton station FOX40. Its called "Racing with Lovotti," and features highlights from the Dirt Track and Stockton 99 Speedway. You can expect to see NARC highlights from our April 2nd show on Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. Make sure you tune in! ... NARC NOTES: Dan Belton will be our Director of Competition this season. Mike Andreetta, who suffered a health scare in September, has been moved into a new Race Coordinator position. He will be driving safety compliance with competitors, conducting technical inspections and providing driver coaching. ... We welcome Darryck Fairbanks to our team as our Pit Manager. ... Brian and Alicia Garges will also be on the NARC staff when their schedule doesn't conflict with other racing events. ... Make sure you play in NARC's fantasy league on MyRacePass.com this season. Log-in and pick your drivers before qualifying. We will be announcing prize packages shortly. ... We've got a new look and a new logo this season. Make sure you invest in some NARC apparel from Jim Gardner of Bullet Impressions at the season opener. You can also shop online at onefasttee.com ... Thank you to all of the 28 sponsors who partnered with the NARC series this season. BRADWAY MEMORIAL: The ever-popular Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial race at Placerville Speedway is about seven weekends away - June 12th to be exact. As you are aware, the event-promotion torch was passed from Dave and Dianne Durica to Julie Bradway Tuccelli last season. That transition was seamless so let's make sure your support of this event is seamless as well. If you would like to sponsor a lap in the 40-lap feature or B-Main ($100), please contact Julie at kaytee17@comcast.net or by phone: 916-749-0556. You can also kick in money to the Hardcharger award, heat race winners, the semi-main, or whatever floats your boat, or opens your wallet. ... By the way, this will be NARC's only visit to Knoxville on the Hill this season and it's a combo event with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour 360's. It promises to be a great show. SEASON PREDICTIONS & STUFF TO GET YOU THINKING: Chase Johnson will win his first NARC race this season at a place not named Petaluma Speedway. Both of his wins have come at the 3/8 mile oval. ... Potential first-time winners on the NARC tour this season? Definitely Kerry Madsen. Let's also add Michael Faccinto, Joel Myers Jr., Logan Forler, Tanner Holmes, and Tanner Carrick to the list. ... With three victories, defending champion Dominic Scelzi would pass Tyler Walker for seventh place on the all-time list. ... Tim Kaeding needs only 13 victories to tie Brent Kaeding on the same all-time NARC-King of the West win list. How many years of racing do you think it will take? ... Willie Croft is overdue for a NARC victory. The last time he scored a "W" was at the May 5, 2019 Dave Bradway Jr. race in Chico. Croft plans to run the entire NARC schedule. ... Brandon "Bud" Kaeding is also looking to end a NARC victory drought that dates back to August 2019. When you have a last name of Kaeding, that is an eternity. Let's go Brandon! ... Idaho's Logan Forler is also planning to tackle the entire 2022 NARC campaign. He last competed with the King of the West series in 2014. He's got over 30 feature wins to his credit, many with the ASCS. ... Defending champ series champ Dominic Scelzi will have his hands full with multiple contenders this season. Can he make it two championships in a row? Crew chief Jimmy Carr thinks so! ... Who will win their second NARC feature event first? Sean Watts or Billy Aton? Place your bets! ... Do you think that Corey Day can double his win total of last season? Based on his recent runner-up finish with the WoO, it's an automatic. ... Justin Sanders will win four NARC races in at least two different cars. ... So now it's officially time to get geared up for NARC's 2022 championship campaign. We've got the Stockton Dirt Track NARC season opener on Saturday, April 2nd. There will be a $6000 winners payday on the line for the winner of the Third Annual Asparagus Cup. We will back that up with a lucrative and always entertaining show in Hanford -- the Anthony Simone Classic. We cap off the month at Silver Dollar Speedway with the Tenth Annual David Tarter Memorial. Don't miss a single of them. Make sure you bring a friend. Coming to you live from Auburn, CA, see ya!
- 410 Sprints And IMCA PASS 305 Sprints Race Friday At Williams Grove
Williams Grove Speedway will launch into April with a program of Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint cars and IMCA PASS 305 sprints coming up this Friday night at 7:30.
- Johns Wins Wild Hobby Stock Race At Antioch Speedway
Antioch CA...March 26...Ken Johns won the 25 lap Pacific Coast General Engineering Hobby Stock Main Event Saturday night at Antioch Speedway. Johns was rebounding from a night of mechanical issues at the opener for the class a couple of weeks ago, and he benefited from the misfortune of Brad Coelho and Grayson Baca. Breck Smith led the opening lap before pushing high in Turn 2 and surrendering the point to Coelho. Reigning champion Larry McKinzie Jr took up pursuit of Coelo early on, but it was Baca taking the runner up spot on Lap 12. A Lap 13 restart provided Baca the opportunity to steal the lead from Coelho. Coelho stayed tough in the battle, but things got a bit wild on Lap 18 when contact sent Coelho and Baca spinning. Johns suddenly found himself leading Angela Brown on the restart, and they ran that way until Coelho made a low pass in Turn 4 on Lap 24 to gain second. However, Coelho ran out of time as Johns brought it home a happy winner. Brown settled for her best ever finish in third, followed by Michaela Taylor and Baca. Danny Wagner won the 20 lap Delta Dwarf Car Main Event. This was the second-straight win for the two-time division champion. David Rosa took the early lead ahead of Eric Weisler. Chance Russell slipped past Weisler for second on Lap 3, but he surrendered the position to Wagner on a Lap 6 restart. Wagner chased Rosa until a Lap 10 restart gave him an opportunity to take the lead. Devan Kammermann followed Wagner into second, but he lost that position to Jack Haverty on a Lap 12 restart. Once Wagner got the lead, nobody was going to stop him as he won ahead Haverty, who barely held of Weisler for the second position. Russell and Kammermann completed the Top 5. Petaluma Speedway Super Stock champion Randy Miramontez won the 20 lap Mini Stock Main Event. Miramontez started out running Mini Stocks at Petaluma Speedway before moving up to Super Stocks, and this was his return. Dana Gardner jumped into the early lead in the race that was destined to go non-stop. Reigning Antioch and Petaluma champion Tom Brown settled into second on Lap 2 and made an inside move on the back stretch on Lap 5 to take the lead from Gardner. Miramontez found his way into second on Lap 9 and quickly started pressuring Brown. A low pass in Turn 2 of the 13th lap gained Miramontez the lead. The lead duo had to split a lapped car in the middle at that point, but everybody made it safely. Despite a scary incident in traffic with two laps to go, Miramontez kept his cool and held off Brown for the win. Gardner ended up third, followed by Shan Titman and Eddie Humphrey III. Mitch Enos won the 15 lap California Sharp Mini Late Model Main Event. This was the debut for the class at Antioch. Matt Malcolm jumped into the lead at the start ahead of Enos. Malcolm pulled away a little bit for the first few laps, but Enos closed in by the midway point of the race. A low pass in Turn 4 on Lap 12 put Enos into the lead, and Malcolm spun in the same turn a lap later for a yellow flag. Enos led the restart, and Malcolm spun again in Turn 4 trying to make a pass. Enos won ahead of DJ Saenz and Malcolm. Racing resumes next Saturday night with IMCA Modifieds back in action along with IMCA Sport Modifieds, Pacific Coast General Engineering Hobby Stocks and Super Stocks.
