cold though, there are two more big shows this weekend for the ASCS Patriots
with plenty on the line.ASCS 9/1
- World of Outlaws)With the races on the 2010 World
of Outlaws schedule rapidly clicking off, every race and every lap for that
matter is of the utmost important, as Joey Saldana, 20-time series champion
Steve Kinser and Jason Meyers are waging one of the best title fights in
series history. That battle will come to Lernerville Speedway in Sarver,
Pennsylvania on Saturday, September 25 for the Commonwealth Clash as the
best sprint car drivers in the world will take to the always racy
four-tenths-mile with $10,000 awaiting the winner.
DIRT/World of Outlaws 9/1
- Tony Stewart Racing)“You can’t win the race on the
first lap, but you sure can lose it on the first lap.” It’s the adage often
heard when something has gone wrong early in the race, and one that rings
true in more ways than one. Sprint car racing is just what the name
suggests: fast, quick and oftentimes over before you realize it. However,
earning a championship in the sport’s premiere series, the World of Outlaws
(WoO), is more like winning a marathon. Press Releases 9/1
- SOS)The Southern Ontario Sprints fifteenth
anniversary tour is back in action this weekend with two big events at the
Brighton Speedway. The Labour Day Classic weekend is always a highlight of
Ontario’s racing season, and again will play a pivotal role in the SOS
season championship. Press Releases 9/1

12th overall in series’ history.Press Releases 9/1
- Bubba Broderick)The final single-race weekend of
the 2010 season for the ASCS Patriots was held this past Saturday at
Stateline Speedway. Committed to the tour, that meant that the Broderick
Racing Team would make the long trip from Connecticut to the Western Edge of
New York. Thankfully for them, the weather was perfect. It would be hard to
believe that Bubba would miss a race at Stateline though, where he has
arguably been the best driver at the quirky 1/3-mile there over the last two
seasons. Press Releases 9/1

- Tommy Denton captures win number 5 of the 2010
season. In his first visit to the newly reworked Waycross Motor Speedway
Tommy was able to once again prove his dominance in the Florida Sprint Car
Association. Due to a poor pill draw he started on the tail of the heat race
but it didn't take long for him to work his way through the field. He caught
up to leader Mark Ruel Jr but ran out of laps and would settle for second in
the heat. He lined up twelfth for the feature due to the invert but wasted
no time picking off cars. By the time the half way mark came around for the
25 lap feature Tommy was leading the field and wound up winning the feature
with a straight away lead over Ruel and the rest of the field. Tommy has now
won five out of the last six races with the FSCA and leads the points going
into the final races of the season. The only loss came at the expense of a
broken gear. Tommy and the team have had a great season so far and can't
thank everyone enough, without the great people at Maxim Chassis, Afco by
Benic, Butlerbuilt Seats, Bell Helmets, Cooper Racing Ent., PBM, Pro Blend,
Design 500 and all the many people who have helped out this would not be
possible.8/25
