Estenson Set to Capture First Career Sprint Car Championship

Inside Line Promotions - SPRINGFIELD, Neb. (Sept. 11, 2024) - Tim Estenson is closing in on his first career sprint car championship.

Estenson will head to Shelby County Speedway in Harlan, Iowa, this Saturday for the Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars season finale. He enters the race with a 28-point lead in the championship standings. With a maximum of 50 points up for grabs and a driver earning 25 points for taking a competitive green flag, all Estenson needs to do is start a heat race or the main event to secure the title.

"We've been pretty consistent all year and were able to get a win with the series," he said. "It'll be nice to know we just have to take a green flag, but also to go to a track where I won my biggest payday. So it's a confidence boost to race at a place where we've had success."

That takes the pressure off for Estenson, who was victorious during his most recent visit to Shelby County Speedway. He also posted results of fifth and 11 th at the track last season.

Estenson has been consistent in the first full season for the Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars. He is tied for the series lead with a win and stands atop the series in top fives with four and top 10s with six during eight feature starts.

"I think last year I was a lot more aggressive," he said. "This year I've been a little smarter than I was last year. With the success in the past I think a huge thing is confidence. I think we should be able to at least compete for a podium if not win it."

SEASON STATS -

34 races, 2 wins, 5 top fives, 14 top 10s, 23 top 15s, 27 top 20s

Dover Posts Top Fives at Beatrice Speedway and Thayer County Speedway and Top 10 at Eagle Raceway

Inside Line Promotions - EAGLE, Neb. (Sept. 11, 2024) - Jack Dover produced a trio of top-six results last weekend, highlighted by a runner-up result during the opening night of three straight days of racing in Nebraska.

"I was wanting to win, but there was an average of 30 cars every night and there were a lot of good drivers," he said. "Considering I hadn't been in the car much - I think eight races this season going into the weekend - and to have an average finish of fourth, I was pleased with how it went."

The action began at Beatrice Speedway in Beatrice last Friday, where Dover advanced from fourth to second place in a heat race to move into the feature redraw. He pulled the No. 2 to line up on the outside of the front row in the main event.

"The polesitter got the jump," he said. "I kept trying to move my line. We were hanging right there with them. Third place found a spot of rubber and got past me and then the leader. With about 10 or 12 laps to go I got back into second place. There was a late restart and I just had nothing for the first-place car."

The team ventured to Thayer County Speedway in Deshler on Saturday. Dover finished second in a heat race to again make the feature redraw. This time he pulled the No. 5 to start fifth. Dover gained a position on the tricky track to end fourth.

"We had to switch motors because it got hot in the heat race," he said. "It was right around the bottom the whole feature. We were able to pick one off and that was about as exciting as Saturday night got."

The weekend concluded on Sunday at Eagle Raceway, which hosted the Stewart Alley Memorial. Dover was seventh quickest in his qualifying group to open the Gunderson Racing Inc. Midwest Sprint Touring Series 360 Sprint Cars event. He maneuvered forward one position to place third in a heat race before capping the night by rallying from 11 th to sixth in the feature.

"It was pretty good considering the field of drivers who were there," he said. "I just picked them off one by one. We were up to fifth at one point. The rubber started coming in up top and a driver got back by me for fifth. It wasn't an aggressive rubber, but just enough you had to be in the groove or you'd go backwards. We settled into line and ended up running sixth."

QUICK RESULTS -

Sept. 6 - Beatrice Speedway in Beatrice, Neb. - Heat race: 2 (4); Feature: 2 (2).

Sept. 7 - Thayer County Speedway in Deshler, Neb. - Heat race: 2 (1); Feature: 4 (5).

Hartmann experiences highs, lows in IRA northwestern jaunt

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) September 11, 2024 – Austin Hartmann and the members of the 87A Hartmann Racing crew traversed the twists and turns of life on the road with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series to the broadest extent with a shimmering start and a disheartening finish in a two-race tour of northern and western Wisconsin at Gondik Law Speedway in Superior on Friday, Sept. 6 and Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond on Saturday, Sept. 7.

The weekend opened at the four-tenths-mile high-banked Gondik Law Speedway in Superior for the annual Northern Nationals on Friday, Sept. 6 where Hartmann began the night with the 13th fastest qualifying time in the 25-car field with a lap of 15.531 seconds.

The Plymouth, Wis. driver then started and finished fifth in the first eight-lap IRA heat race to earn the 13th starting position in the 25-lap main event. Hartmann survived an attrition-filled main event, which saw just 12 competitors cross the finish line, with a solid sixth place effort behind race winner Danny Sams III.

It was Hartmann’s eighth top 10 A-main finish of the 2024 season and fourth straight IRA main event in which he improved positions from the start to the finish of the race.

The 87A Hartmann Racing Team traveled to three-eighths-mile high-banked Cedar Lake Speedway on Saturday, Sept. 7 for the prestigious 24th annual Jerry Richert Memorial with a $7,000 first-place prize on the line.

On the way to the track, the 87A Hartmann Racing Team encountered misfortune when the team’s transport rig collided with horses gathered on the road. While the collision caused damage to the team’s truck and trailer, all team members escaped injury.

Once on track at Cedar Lake, the 2020 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car Rookie of the Year Award winner qualified 20th in the 32-car field with a lap of 11.568 seconds before placing sixth after starting fifth in the fourth eight-lap heat race.

Hartmann then advanced to the 24-car Jerry Richert Memorial main event with a second place showing in the 12-lap IRA B main after starting the pole.

After starting 22nd, the fifth-year Sprint Car competitor moved up seven spots and was running in 15th position when the motor in his 87A machine expired on lap 28. He was credited with a 17th place finish in the 30-lap event, which went to Danny Sams III.

“Friday at Gondik Law didn’t start the greatest with a bad qualifying performance, but we were able to pass some cars in the feature and come out with a good finish,” Hartmann said. “On the way to Cedar Lake, we got into a road accident, which was not a good experience. I’m glad everyone walked away alright and nobody was hurt. We blew up a motor in the A main at Cedar Lake on Saturday night. We will get things figured out for Saturday at 141.”

Austin Hartmann and the members of the 87A Hartmann Racing Team are scheduled to compete with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series at 141 Speedway in Francis Creek, Wis. on Saturday, Sept. 14. Following a rain out on May 26, the event is set to be the lone scheduled IRA appearance at 141 Speedway in 2024.

The IRA Lightning Sprints, IMCA Sport Mods and Pro Legends are also on the card with spectator gates opening at 3 p.m. and racing slated to begin at 6 p.m.

Arenz rebounds with sterling top five Cedar Lake Richert run

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) September 11, 2024 – Six days after crashing out of contention for a top finish at The Hill Raceway in Sturgeon Bay, Wis., Travis Arenz and the members of the Travis Arenz Motorsports team bounced back in a major way with a sterling performance in the prestigious 24th annual Jerry Richert Memorial at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. on Saturday, Sept. 7.

After forgoing the IRA’s stop at Gondik Law Speedway in Superior, Wis. on Friday, Sept. 6 to allow extra time to button up his 25T entry following The Hill wreck, Arenz opened the $7,000-to-win Richert Memorial event by qualifying 24th in the 32-car field with a lap of 11.787 seconds.

The 17th-year competitor then advanced from the sixth starting position to nab a fourth place showing the fourth eight-lap IRA heat race and secure a spot in the 30-lap headline event.

“After finding significant frame damage on our main car, we used the spare car at Cedar Lake,” Arenz said. “One of our other motors got completed on Friday as well, so I was able to pick that up to put in the spare car. I was pretty frustrated with our qualifying results at Cedar Lake. I’m not used to driving the backup car as much as my main car and it handles differently.

“In the heat race, I knew I needed to at least pass one car and stay in that position,” he said. “The track kept having more and more moisture come out as the night progressed, so I needed to be strategic with what lines I ran and when. I did make a mistake and spun during the heat, but I was able to come back and earn a transfer position to the feature.”

The 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion started 16th and wasted little time moving to the front of the top quality-filled field.

True to his hard-charging style, Arenz utilized every available racing line to slice his way to the front of the pack. In the closing stages of the race, the Sheboygan Falls, Wis. competitor found himself dueling with several 410 Sprint Car racing heavy hitters, including Scotty Thiel, Joel Myers Jr., Kerry Madsen and Justin Henderson.

Arenz used strong restarts in the closing stages of the race to pull out a strong fourth place showing and earn hard charger honors after advancing 12 spots in a race won by Danny Sams III.

The fourth place finish marked Arenz's fifth top five and 10th top 10 showing in 15 IRA events during the 2024 campaign.

“I thought a lot about what changes I wanted to make for the feature,” Arenz said. “With the amount of moisture, the track still had come feature time, there were different things I could adjust to achieve similar reactions of the car. My biggest goal for the night was to finish a feature with this car. In all the times it has raced, I have never finished a race with it. So, it was huge to not only complete a feature but also earn the hard charger award.”

The 25T Travis Arenz Motorsports Team is scheduled to compete with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series at 141 Speedway in Francis Creek, Wis. on Saturday, Sept. 14. Following a rain out on May 26, the event is set to be the lone scheduled IRA appearance at 141 Speedway in 2024.

The IRA Lightning Sprints, IMCA Sport Mods and Pro Legends are also on the card with spectator gates opening at 3 p.m. and racing slated to begin at 6 p.m.

All 2024 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series events will be streamed live on FloRacing.

The Travis Arenz 25T Motorsports Team continues to seek crew members to assist the team. Those interested can send a direct message to Travis through the Travis Arenz Motorsports Facebook page.

“I am still looking for another set of crew hands to help for the remainder of the season and, hopefully, for seasons to come,” Arenz said. “Anyone with an interest can reach out to me for more info.”

Starks Sweeps Night at Skagit Speedway for 10 th Victory at Track This Season

Inside Line Promotions - ALGER, Wash. (Sept. 10, 2024) - Trey Starks swept the night at Skagit Speedway for the second time this season last Saturday.

Starks set quick time during qualifying, won a heat race from fourth and captured the 360ci winged sprint car main event from the pole position.

"It was a very, very good night," he said. "We had a good car in qualifying like most of the times this year. The way the format is in the heat races you can either ride around or if you think you have a chance you go for the win to get the pole for the feature. I got a really good start and got to second and then took the lead coming to the line on the opening lap.

"In the feature, we got the lead on the first lap and had to navigate traffic and restarts. Our car was pretty good and I knew if we got in clean air we'd have a good shot at winning. There were a few restarts. With the back straightway restarts at Skagit you're in jeopardy of a slider going into turn three so you're always thinking of that. I feel once I got through the first lap on restarts I was pretty comfortable."

The win was his fifth of the season in 360 sprint car competition at Skagit Speedway. That's the most of any division at the track this year. The victory was also Starks' 10 th triumph of the season overall at Skagit Speedway, marking his first time reaching double digits in a single season at any track. Also of note, it was his 12 th total triumph this year - tying his single-season record.

"It feels good to have those numbers at this point in the season with a couple of races remaining this season," he said. "That's a good feeling and we have a few shots at it to add another win and set our personal best."

The victorious night extended the lead in the championship standings to 40 points for Starks, who returns to the track this Saturday.

Hagar Gearing Up for Hockett/McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway

Inside Line Promotions - FARMINGTON, Mo. (Sept. 10, 2024) - Derek Hagar is heading to Lucas Oil Speedway this weekend to tackle the Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial.

The marquee event at the dirt oval in Wheatland, Mo., has shifted to POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint Series sanctioning. That gives Hagar, who is driving for Paul Hart, a unique opportunity to win in three different divisions during the event.

Hagar earned ASCS National Tour 360ci winged sprint car triumphs during the event finale in 2014 as well as the two preliminary nights in 2021. He swept both nights of the 410ci non-wing sprint car portion in 2015.

"I'm pretty pumped up being the only one who's won the winged and non-wing finale," he said. "Hopefully we can be the only one who has done all three divisions at the end of this weekend. There's been a lot of good cars there and a lot of good drivers that have won one but not the other so it's something I take a lot of pride in.

"There's a particular line at that track that fits my driving style that other people haven't been able to hit. That helps us shine. No matter where we start we've been able to find our way to the front. Hopefully it will be the same in the 410. This will be my first time running a 410 winged show there. I hope I can adapt quick and by Saturday we can have it dialed in to get the results we're used to getting there."

Hagar and Hart competed in the 27 th annual Queens Royal and Terry Babb Tribute last Saturday at Farmington Empire Speedway. A run from sixth to third place in a heat race locked Hagar into the 14 th starting position in the main event. The night ended early with a 21st-place result, which marked only the sixth time he hasn't finished in the top 10 this season.

"The track wasn't the greatest and there were a lot of technical difficulties," he said. "I don't want to be negative so we'll just say it wasn't worth the drive."

QUICK RESULTS -

Sept. 8 - Farmington Empire Speedway in Farmington, Mo. - Heat race: 3 (6); Feature: 21 (14).

SEASON STATS -

26 races, 8 wins, 16 top fives, 20 top 10s, 22 top 15s, 22 top 20s

Mallett Returning to ASCS National Tour Competition This Weekend at Arrowhead Speedway

Inside Line Promotions - GREENBRIAR, Ark. (Sept. 10, 2024) - Jordon Mallett is bound for Arrowhead Speedway this weekend for an ASCS National Tour doubleheader.

The dirt oval in Colcord, Okla., hosts the Green Country 50 on Friday and Saturday. It will mark Mallett's first ASCS National Tour races since he drove for Brandon Anderson Motorsports in June.

"I feel like we're in a good place," he said. "I enjoy running with those guys and we're eager to be back with them. I'm looking forward to the weekend and to try to build on what we've been working toward."

Mallett captured a ninth-place result at Arrowhead Speedway earlier this season and he finished eighth there during his debut last year.

"I still feel like the cards have to fall in your favor, but we're a top-five car," he said. "Things have to go your way, too. A good pill draw is important and we need to time in good and come out of the gate strong. Arrowhead isn't my strongest track, but it's also not a weak track or one we don't want to race at. We'll see if we can make ourselves a little better and if we can do that the rest will take care of itself."

Despite not competing in more than half of the ASCS National Tour races this season, Mallett has the most top fives and top 10s of any driver who isn't full time with the series. Additionally, his three top fives is tied for the seventh most and his seven top 10s is tied for the eighth most of all drivers.

"That does give us some confidence knowing we typically run well with them," he said. "It's comfortable racing with them because everybody is up to speed. We'll try to bring our 'A' game and be a contender."

SEASON STATS -

18 races, 4 wins, 11 top fives, 15 top 10s, 16 top 15s, 18 top 20s

Tanner Carrick Pockets Pair of Podiums at Placerville Speedway

PETERSEN MEDIA: Returning to Placerville Speedway on Saturday night, Tanner Carrick took part in both the USAC Western States Midget Series event as well as the winged 360ci event and ran well in both as he took second din the midget and third in sprint car action.

“It was a fun night at Placerville Speedway,” Tanner Carrick said. “I have to thank the Sarale family for the opportunity to run one of their midgets, I just wish I could have gotten them the win. I also have to thank my team for giving me a really good car again at Placerville.”

With 25 winged 360ci sprint cars on hand for the Placerville Speedway’s point paying event, Carrick got the night kicked off by timing the CVC/CWA/Cemex backed No. 83T entry in second fastest in qualifying time trials.

Lining up fourth in his heat race, Carrick simply needed to transfer into the feature event to earn a berth in the redraw. The Lincoln, CA driver did just that as his fourth place finish moved his night along and then the five-pill placed him in the third row for the 25-lapper.

When the feature event went green, Carrick was patient in the early laps as he settled into fifth before using a lap six restart to race into third. Once in third, Carrick chased after the lead duo of Austin Wood and Chance Grasty, but each time traffic came into the equation an untimely yellow would fly.

Holding on firmly to third, Carrick accepted the checkered flag with another podium at the ¼ mile bullring as finished in the show position.

Also taking part in USAC Western States Midget action, Carrick acclimated to the Sarale Motorsports No. 32X entry quickly as he paced the field in qualifying and earned fast time honors.

Lining up in the third row of his heat race, Carrick had his elbows up as he sliced and diced his way forward. Racing his way into second, Carrick solidified himself in the feature event inversion as he took the green flag from the sixth starting spot.

On the slick surface, Carrick worked his way forward as he chased after early leader, Cade Lewis.

Unable to catch Lewis as they ran through traffic, Carrick capped off a very strong night as he finished second giving him his second podium of the night.

“Really good night in both cars, and it was fun to rip around the slick surface all night long,” Carrick said. “Thank you to everyone who makes it all possible.”

Tanner Carrick would like to thank CVC, Cemex, California Waterfowl, Interstate Oil, D.R. Horton, Conti, Harris and Sloan, Hanson Truss, TC Guide Service, Eddie’s Lincoln Auto Body, Simpson Strong-Tie, A&A Concrete Supply, Kaeding Performance, and Arai for their continued support.

BY THE NUMBERS: Starts: 52, Wins: 6, Top 5’s: 25, Top 10’s: 33

ON TAP: Carrick will head to Merced Speedway on Saturday night with the World of Outlaws.

Dakota Albright Endures Early Contact at Placerville Speedway

PETERSEN MEDIA- Making it back to Placerville Speedway on Saturday night after scratching from last weekend’s Nor*Cal Posse Shootout after time trials, Dakota Albright was eager to return to racing action during his rookie campaign, but his night was again cut short as he endured contact from a spinning car at the start o the feature event.

“It has really been a tough year, but it has not been from lack of effort from Rick, Dan, and everyone involved with this team,” Albright said. “We have had some issues keep us sidelined at times, and we hit the track Saturday hoping they were rectified. It was still off, but we still did what we could to fight through the night.”

With 25 cars checked in, Albright gave the Thompson’s Family of Dealerships/Sacramento Battery/Morgan Precision Roofing backed No. 34 all it had and ended up 22nd fastest after going out nearly last in the session.

Lining up in the third row of his heat race, the Waterford, CA driver got the jump on his fellow third row starter and moved into fifth. Needing to get into the Top-Four to transfer directly into the feature event Albright was unable to get into the final transfer position as his fifth-place finish forced him into the semi.

Lining up in the second row of the ‘B’, Albright was able to move around slick surface and search the top and the bottom as he held down the third position with the top-four finishers extending their nights.

Still dealing with gremlins under the hood, he was able to safely take the transfer as he locked into the final row of the 25-lap feature event.

Moving into the ‘A’, the second attempted start of the race spelled out disaster for Albright and Spencer Motorsports. Coming to green, an out-of-control car lambasted the side of Albright causing severe damage to his entry and brought his night to an abrupt ending.

“It was a bit of a frustrating night for all of us, and then to have that happen in the feature was the icing on the cake,” Albright said. “It caused a lot of damage to our frame, and with not very many races left in Nor*Cal, I’m not sure if we will get another shot at it this team in the winged sprint car. I hate it for Rick and Dan and everyone that helps, but I really do appreciate how hard they continue to work.”

Dakota Albright and Spencer Motorsports would like to thank Thompson’s Family of Dealerships, Sacramento Battery, Morgan Precision Roofing, Nor Cal Gun Vault, Quality Telecom Consultants, Johnson and Matos CPA’s, Romey’s Window Cleaning, Angel’s Heavy Haul, Amsoil, King Racing Products, NGK, CSI Shocks, Oval Chassis Research, Roza Motorsports, Gladden Racing, Nutcher Milk, Wild West Commodities, Greenwood Machine, and Casey White Cosmetic Tattoos for their support in 2024.

ON TAP: At this time, Albright’s next event will be the Wayne Albright Memorial at Merced Speedway with BCRA on October 5th.

Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Wing or not, Doney looks to keep rising at 14th annual Hockett-McMillin Memorial

WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 10, 2024) - One of the rising prospects of sprint-car racing is far too young to have seen Jesse Hockett impress in both the winged and wingless divisions of the sport.

But Xavier Doney has heard plenty of stories about his fellow Missourian.

Doney, an 18-year-old from Odessa, said one of his favorites is the one about Hockett starting a feature from tailback - apparently on a dare - at Double X Speedway in California, Mo. He drove around the field and into victory lane just making the paycheck and trophy celebration sweeter.

And moreover, it didn't seem to matter which variety of sprint car Hockett drove prior to his passing at the age of 29.

“I know he raced wing and non-wing and was good in both,” Doney said of Hockett, who was from Warsaw.

This week’s 14th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial offers Doney an opportunity to pay tribute to Hockett in the ultimate way. Doney, too, drives both styles of sprint cars with skill and will be one to watch in both the POWRi 410 Sprints and POWRi WAR in three nights of action starting on Thursday.

The Hockett-McMillin Memorial recognizes the legacy of Hockett, who was a star in both the winged and non-wing sprint divisions when he lost his life in a shop accident in 2010. His cousin and crew chief, Daniel McMillin, was killed in an automobile accident in 2006.

“I think it’s a really cool event that honors Jesse Hockett and Daniel McMillin. It’s one of the biggest events in the Midwest all year long,” Doney said. “Lots of cars, lots of good, hard racing. This year they have the 410s which I’m excited to run that, because we’ve been fast there in the past with the wing on.”

Just last month at Lucas Oil Speedway, Doney drove to victory lane in his winged 410 at the POWRi Summer Thunder. He set fast qualifying time and led all 30 laps of the feature, holding off Ayrton Gennetten in the late going, for the $5,000 prize.

This week, the stakes are higher. Preliminary-night features for the 410s will pay $3,000 to win Thursday and Friday before the $10,000 finale on Saturday. Meanwhile, Doney also will have his wingless sprint ready. He’s finished second in that portion of the Hockett twice, including one year ago.

There’s a definite boost of confidence after the recent success, plus an eye-opening showing earlier in the summer as the Kubota High Limit series visited Lucas Oil Speedway.

“At the High Limit race I ran fourth quick the second night in qualifying and unfortunately it got rained out,” Doney said. “I know that I’m fast at Wheatland in the wing and non-wing, I just haven’t got it done in the non-wing yet. We were second last year and second three years ago. So we just haven’t quite been able to pull it off.”

Doney began racing quarter midgets when he was 6. He explains his fascination with the open-wheel style of racing began when the family went to a car show in Kansas City for his sixth birthday. Prior to that, it was made clear that he would not follow his dad's racing path.

“My dad (Mike Doney) raced hare scrambles before I was born, on dirt bikes,” Xavier said. “My mom thought dirt bikes were too dangerous. We went to World of Wheels show and had to take an elevator because they didn’t allow strollers up the escalators and my little sister was with us. We went in the elevator and went up to the main floor of the car show and the door opened and the quarter-midget was sitting there.

"I was in awe. I knew from then on that’s what I wanted to do. For my sixth birthday, my dad got me a couple of quarter midgets and been racing since.”

Doney graduated to sprints four years ago and finished top-five in his first five winged features, at Lucas Oil Speedway and Lake Ozark Speedway. Lots of wins podium finishes have followed in both wings and non-wings. Doney not only drives, but helps build some of the fastest sprint cars around as a fabricator/welder at the renowned Schnee-Lawson Chassis in his hometown.

And Xavier is not the only member of the family going fast on the dirt. Natalie, his 15-year-old sister who was in that stroller at World of Wheels, recently debuted in a 410 Sprint at Lake Ozark Speedway and made the A feature the second night of the two-night show, finishing 21st.

“I thought she did pretty good. She beat a few regular 410 drivers, which is a feat on its own, especially being her first night out,” Xavier said. “We’re a really close family. We’re all on the same race team and share information with each other. We’re trying to grow (as a race team) at the same time.”

Fans who want to follow the Doney-Lawson Race Team can look for winged car No. 74 (Xavier) and 74N (Natalie).

AVANTI WINDOWS AND DOORS USAC/CRA SPRINT CARS RETURN TO PERRIS SEPTEMBER 21ST

(Perris, CA, September 9, 2024) The 29th season of racing at Perris Auto Speedway will hit the home stretch when the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series returns to the famous Riverside County half-mile clay oval on September 21st. For fans of LKQ Pick Your Part Night of Destruction, the event that was postponed last Saturday due to the scorching heat has been rescheduled for Saturday night, October 5th.

The USAC/CRA Series has had one of the best championship chases in its 20-season history. Just when it appeared that Yucaipa, California’s Tommy “Thunder” Malcolm began to ease away from the competition, Laveen, Arizona’s RJ Johnson closed the gap dramatically when he won his second main event of the season last Saturday night at the Santa Maria Speedway.

That victory, which was Johnson’s second of the 2024 campaign, allowed him to close to within seven points of Malcolm heading into the race on the 21st at The PAS. All told, nine different drivers have posted wins in the first 14 races of the year. Only three drivers, Malcolm, Johnson, and Yorba Linda, California’s Matt Mitchell, have more than one victory. Malcolm leads the way with four, and Johnson and Mitchell have two apiece.

Malcolm and Mitchell have two wins each in the season's first seven races at Perris. David Gasper of Goleta, California, San Diego’s AJ Bender, and “The Cadillac” Cody Williams each have one win.

“The racing has been great all season long in USAC/CRA,” Perris promoter Don Kazarian enthused. “Lots of different winners on the circuit and great battles in the point standings. Not only the fight for the lead but all the way back to seventh or eighth. The positions keep changing.”

The stars and cars of USAC/CRA will be joined by the GAS Chassis Young Gun Sprints, PAS Senior Sprints, and the PASSCAR Super Stocks, and American Factory Stocks on the 21st.

The Night of Destruction slated for last Saturday night at The PAS was postponed until October 5th due to the scorching temperatures. On top of the intense heat, a surprise thunderstorm, festooned with thunder, lightning, and hail, pounded the track late in the afternoon.

“I never thought I would have to cancel a race because of the heat,” Kazarian said. “As it turned out, even if we had not canceled because of the heat, we would have had to throw in the towel when the unexpected thunderstorm hit the track on Saturday.

Adult tickets for the next battle in the season-long USAC/CRA war on September 21st are $30.00. For seniors 65 and over, it is $25.00. Kids ages 6 to 12 get in for only $5.00, and children five and under are admitted free. The fairgrounds charge $10 for parking.

Tickets for the October 5th Night of Destruction presented by LKQ Pick Your Part are $20.00 for those 13 years of age and older. For kids six to 12, it is only $5.00, and children five and under are admitted free. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking.

Advance tickets for all Perris Auto Speedway shows are available 24 hours a day online at https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7 or by calling 1-800-595-4849. Plenty of tickets will be available at the ticket window every race night for fans who do not wish to purchase in advance.

The PAS is conveniently located on the freeway close Lake Perris Fairgrounds, home of the Southern California Fair, in nearby Riverside County. Take the 215 freeway. Exit at the Ramona Expressway and go three miles east to the fairgrounds. For directions online, the address to enter is 18700 Lake Perris Drive, and the zip code is 92571.

Coors Light Big Trophy Night caps championship season at Placerville Speedway

By Gary Thomas

Placerville, CA…What started out in April will finish up this Saturday September 14th when Placerville Speedway plays host to Coors Light Big Trophy Championship Night.

All four track champions will be crowned on Saturday, while main event winners go home with the perpetual six-foot tall trophies as part of Big Trophy Night.

Placerville Sprint Car veteran Jimmy Trulli will also call it a career on Saturday after 38 years behind the wheel. Trulli and his No. 33T have been synonymous over the years at Placerville Speedway and we look forward to giving him a proper send-off on Coors Light Champ Night.

Going into Saturday the title race is still a close one when it comes to the Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars. Auburn’s Andy Forsberg holds onto a slim nine-point lead over Bubba Decaires with one race left.

Forsberg is in search of championship number 10 on the red clay, while Decaires looks to join his father as a Placerville Speedway titlist. Modesto’s Tony Gomes put on the charge last week and is still withing striking distance, sitting just 22-markers back in third.

Placerville’s Shane Hopkins and Sacramento’s Austin Wood round out the top five in points heading into the finale. Wood is fresh off his first career Sprint Car victory this past Saturday.

The Mountain Democrat Ltd. Late Model season has been dominated by Martinez driver Anthony Slaney. The driver of the Xtreme No. 4x has rocketed his way to five wins in the seven events contested during 2024.

Slaney holds a 28-point lead over Lincoln’s Dan Brown Jr at the top of the standings. Garden Valley’s Jay Norton, Placerville’s Tyler Lightfoot and Yuba City’s Rod Oliver rank third through fifth respectively.

Oakley’s Nick Baldwin looks to wrap up his sixth Red Hawk Casino Pure Stock championship on Coors Light Big Trophy Night. Baldwin claimed his sixth feature victory of the campaign during a wild main event this past weekend.

Diamond Springs’ Kevin Jinkerson has also put together a solid season with four wins and is 26-points behind Baldwin for the top-spot. Placerville’s Tyler Lightfoot, Orangevale’s Tommy Sturgeon and Cameron Park’s Jason Ramos complete the top five.

Placerville’s own Mike Miller has been the man when it comes to the Mountain Democrat Mini Truck division once again. Miller has won five of the six races and looks to cap off his third truck title at the track. Pilot Hill’s Luke Costa goes into Saturday ranking second, ahead of Nevada racer Howard Miller, and Placerville drivers Paizlee and Paige Miller.

FRED RANNARD, SR OPEN WHEEL CLASSIC

Dear Friends,
On behalf of my entire family thank you for your support of the eighth annual Fred Rannard, Sr. Open Wheel Classic last weekend at Agassiz Speedway.
The weather was great, the crowd was excellent and once again it was a record breaking weekend. We had the largest car count, most prize money paid and most prize giveaways for the fans in eight years. The 29 sprint cars that were present was the most cars in any one division that local track historians could recall in the 54 year history of the facility.
Langley, BC's Tyson Cross received $1,250 for winning his third Can Am Sprint Car series feature of 2024 and became the first repeat winner of the sprint car portion of the event. Victoria's Zack Zeinstra took home $1,000 for his victory in the highest paying dwarf car race in B.C. history after his older brother Darian won last year. Bradie Rogers from Chilliwack won $500 for winning the midget main event for the second year in a row.
As part of opening ceremonies drivers from as far away as Prince George, BC, Vancouver Island and Spokane, Washington introduced themselves to the near capacity crowd before Brian Globe sang the national anthems. Friday night's barbecue after practice and Saturday's post race celebrations lasted well into the night.
It takes a team effort to put on an event like this and we thank the staff at Agassiz Speedway, the drivers, crews and officials from the Can Am Sprint Car series, the Vancouver Island Dwarf Car Club, the AMCA Bandit Dwarf Cars, the Northwest Focus Midgets, the Agassiz Midgets, our generous sponsors and fans.

Brown with speed in Port Royal’s Tuscarora 50; Lernerville doubleheader next

By Fully Injected Motorsports:

GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (September 10, 2024) – Blackjack’s return to sprint car competition resulted in success for the Higginsville, Missouri, native, not just qualifying for Port Royal Speedway’s coveted Tuscarora 50 on Saturday, September 7, but ultimately commencing action with back-to-back top-tens during preliminary competition, all of which highlighted with a fifth-place outcome in The Night Before The 50 on Friday, September 6. Brown started from the pole in Friday’s headliner, leading the first few circuits before Aaron Reutzel took control with three laps recorded.

As noted, Brian Brown’s Port Royal Speedway stat card included back-to-back top-ten appearances, launching his weekend at the Juniata County Fairgrounds with a ninth-place score on Thursday, September 5; he started fourth.

Unfortunately, contact with the outside retaining wall during Saturday’s heat race put Brown behind the eight ball for the weekend finale. Despite the hiccup, he would eventually transfer through the B-Main and race on to be scored 25th in the $57,000-to-win 50-lapper.

Brown’s recent absence from sprint car competition was due to an emergency appendix removal.

“I was pretty happy with the weekend, especially with just having surgery. We really weren’t sure what to expect,” Brown, ace of the Casey’s, FVP, Andy’s Frozen Custard, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mt. Dew Overdrive, Ditzfeld Transfer, Hawk Hunting, No. 21 sprint car, stated. “We unloaded with great speed on Thursday and Friday. Recorded two solid top-tens and really put ourselves in a great position on Friday with a dash victory and earning the pole. Saturday just didn’t work out how we planned. We qualified well again, but tore up some things in the heat when we made contact with the wall. We still raced on to make the show, but we had some work to do.

“Overall, super proud of my team. They did a phenomenal job in keeping me comfortable and I’m really looking forward to the rest of the year.”

ON DECK:
Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing will continue their 2024 campaign with a High Limit Racing doubleheader at Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania, on September 13-14.

14th annual Hockett-McMillin Memorial rolls into Lucas Oil Speedway this week

WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 9, 2024) - It's become an annual highlight on the open-wheel calendar, where drivers and fans return to Lucas Oil Speedway each September for high-level racing, big prize money and to pay tribute to a pair of legends.

The 14th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial is set for three big nights of racing, Thursday through Saturday, as the POWRi 410 Sprints and POWRi WAR Sprints converge on Lucas Oil Speedway.

The Hockett-McMillin Memorial recognizes the legacy of Jesse Hockett, from Warsaw, Mo., who was a star in both the winged and non-wing sprint divisions when he lost his life in a shop accident in 2010. His cousin and crew chief, Daniel McMillin, was killed in an automobile accident in 2006.

The POWRI 410 winged portion of the program will race for $3,000-to-win in preliminary features the first two nights before going after a big $10,000 prize in Saturday's finale. For the wingless cars of the POWRi WAR, features will pay $2,000 to win on the preliminary nights and $4,077 on Saturday night.

"This event not only serves as a tribute to the remarkable careers and contributions of Jesse Hockett and Daniel McMillin, but also carries on their passion and dedication to sprint car racing, as the Memorial continues to draw race fans and drivers from across the nation” Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said.

Defending Hockett-McMillin Memorial champions are Ryan Timms of Oklahoma City in the winged sprints and Ricky Lewis of Amarillo, Calif., in the WAR division. As the POWRi cars appeared at Lucas Oil Speedway for the Summer Shootout last month, Xavier Doney from Odessa earned the 410 Sprint victory and Richie Tosh of Salado, Ark., captured the WAR victory.

Payouts for the POWRi 410 Sprints preliminary nights on Thursday and Friday: 1. $3,000, 2. $1,500, 3. $1,300, 4. $1000, 5. $800, 6. $700, 7. $600, 8. $500, 9. $480, 10. $460, 11. $440, 12. $420, 13-24: $400. Non-Qualifiers: $100.

Kaleb Johnson Records Top Five During Stewart Alley Memorial

Inside Line Promotions - EAGLE, Neb. (Sept. 9, 2024) - Kaleb Johnson garnered his 13 th top-five result of the season on Sunday during the Stewart Alley Memorial at Eagle Raceway.

Johnson, who was driving for Dennis Gainey, qualified second quickest in his group and advanced a pair of positions in a heat race to finish fourth. That performance and a fortunate redraw garnered the pole position for the Gunderson Racing Inc. Midwest Sprint Touring Series 360 Sprint Cars main event.

"It went pretty well," he said. "We had speed right out of the box and I felt pretty good all night. We qualified solid and moved forward a couple of spots in the heat race. We lucked into a good redraw and led about seven laps or eight laps. I think I stayed on the bottom a lap or two too long. We fell to third and then got passed on a late-race restart to finish fourth. It's good to have speed going into these next few weeks."

Johnson kicked off the weekend on Saturday at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis., during the 24 th annual Jerry Richert Memorial with the Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Series. He timed in ninth quickest and won a heat race to advance into a dash. Johnson gained a position to place third, lining him up on the outside of the third row in the A Main.

"I was running fifth on a restart with two to go when we ran out of fuel," he said. "We came to the green and it started cutting out pretty bad. I coasted to the finish. It was good to have speed all night and be in contention, but it was a frustrating result to end the night."

Johnson was credited with a 16th-place result.

Johnson plans to finish this season driving for Gainey in select 360ci and 410ci winged sprint car events. Next up is an ASCS National Tour race at Clay County Fair Speedway in Spencer, Iowa, this Tuesday followed by a Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars show on Saturday at Shelby County Speedway in Harlan, Iowa.

"I feel pretty confident as I have laps at both tracks where we're racing this week," he said. "I'm hoping to keep the momentum up with Dennis and the team. We've had some good runs and I hope to be contention to at least get some top fives this week."

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Earn Two Top Fives During Opening Weekend of World of Outlaws Western Swing

Inside Line Promotions - HANFORD, Calif. (Sept. 9, 2024) - Big Game Motorsports posted a pair of fifth-place finishes last weekend during the opening doubleheader of the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series California Swing.

The two top fives gives David Gravel 35 top-five finishes during World of Outlaws competition this season.

"We left the weekend happy and proud of our performances on tracks that typically I'm not the best at," he said. "I felt we easily could have run seventh each night. To finish strong with top fives and end the features going forward felt good."

The weekend began on Friday at the Stockton Dirt Track in Stockton, where Gravel qualified second quickest. He then won a heat race to advance into the dash. Unfortunately, he pulled the third-highest number - six - on a track that was tough to pass on. Gravel placed sixth in the dash and picked up one position in the Stockton Showdown A Main.

"It was tough, but I knew early on with the fuel load the car would be tippy, like want to bike up," he said. "As we burned the fuel load off we could be more aggressive. We were able to do that and pick off a couple of guys at the end."

Kings Speedway hosted the Tom Tarlton Classic on Saturday. Gravel was fifth quickest in qualifying. A third-place result in a heat race lined him up on the outside of the fourth row in the main event. Gravel clawed forward a trio of positions to secure the top five.

"It was a bummer we didn't make the dash through the heat race, but we were a little off and there was another car that did a good job," he said. "We started that feature going backwards and fell to 10th. I was able to pick guys off one by one. (Tim Kaeding) got in a wreck and came across the track. I knew that was close and thought we were going to get cleaned out. We missed it and were able to gain that spot and then get by Gio (Scelzi) at the end to run fifth."

Gravel continues to hold a 110-point lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings entering the 'Nashville West' Showdown this Friday at Bakersfield Speedway in Bakersfield, Calif. Merced Speedway in Merced, Calif., hosts the Federated Auto Parts Yosemite Showdown on Saturday.

Gravel's best outing at Bakersfield Speedway was a third-place result in 2016. He won a World of Outlaws race at Merced Speedway in 2014.

"It's two wild cards," he said. "We've only been to Merced one time since the high-banked configuration. And the last time we were at Bakersfield in the No. 2 car we were really good, but got into a crash and broke the steering. I'm excited to go back as it's one of the tracks I'm more looking forward to on the West Coast."

QUICK RESULTS -

Sept. 6 - Stockton Dirt Track in Stockton, Calif. - Qualifying: 2; Heat race: 1 (1); Dash: 6 (6); Feature: 5 (6).

Sept. 7 - Kings Speedway in Hanford, Calif. - Qualifying: 5; Heat race: 3 (2); Feature: 5 (8).

SEASON STATS -

57 races, 14 wins, 37 top fives, 51 top 10s, 55 top 15s, 55 top 20s

Andy Forsberg 4th at Placerville Speedway As He Brings Point Lead Into Season Finale

PETERSEN MEDIA: Saturday night at Placerville Speedway, Andy Forsberg remained in the driver’s season for the season long championship as he picked up a fourth-place finish and heads into Saturday’s finale with a slim nine point advantage over Bubba DeCaires.

“We had a solid night, but we will have to make sure we can be even better this week at the final points race,” Andy Forsberg. “I haven’t been able to get us timed in all that well and then despite being on the front row Saturday night, I flat got passed and it took us out of the redraw.”

With 25 cars on hand for the track’s penultimate race of the 2024 season, Forsberg timed the Meridian Cameras/Pacific Highway Rentals/Oroville Tax backed No. 92 entry in sixth fastest in qualifying time trials.

Lining up on the front row of his heat race, the Auburn, CA driver got the initial jump, but he soon felt pressure form youngster, Austin Wood. With Wood able to get by Forsberg, the veteran began his pursuit of the race leader.

Unable to get back to the top spot, Forsberg was safely in the feature event though by not making the redraw he lined up 10th on the extremely slick Placerville Speedway surface.

Following a quick rework of the surface before the feature event, the field was set for 25 laps on the bullring. The start of the race however, got off to a rough start and it set the tone for what was to come.

Despite the race being slowed by several cautions, Forsberg was able to keep his nose clean and march towards the front. Once he got into fourth, he was able to keep pace with third running Tanner Carrick, but the lead duo of Austin Wood and Chance Grasty had a much quicker pace going.

Though he closed in on Carrick, Forsberg soon felt pressure from both Tony Gomes and Bubba DeCaires and it turned into a battle between three of the championship contenders in the closing laps.

Hanging on to fourth, Forsberg closed the night out with the Top-5 result and picked up three points over DeCaires as he sits 9 points ahead of him heading into Saturday’s finale.

“It is crazy to me that we are already to the point season finale,” Forsberg added. “With how the season started with so many rain outs, and then the weird breaks we had in the schedule, it seemingly flew by. We will do our best to have everything in order for next weekend and see how it all plays out.”

Andy Forsberg and PHR Racing would like to thank Meridian Cameras, Pacific Highway Rentals, Oroville Tax, Wilkie Masonry, Western Traffic Supply, PitStopUSA, Red Line Oil, FK Rod Ends, Autism Awareness, Parking and Transportation Group, Western Featherlite, 1st Vanguard, Highway Specialty Co., and KBJ Catering for their continued support.

BY THE NUMBERS: Races-38, Wins-4, Top 5’s-19, Top 10’s-25

ON TAP: Forsberg and PHR Racing will be back at Placerville Speedway on Saturday night for their final appearance of the year at the track.

Tony Gomes Hard Charges to 5th Place Finish at Placerville Speedway

PETERSEN MEDIA- Returning to point race action at Placerville Speedway on Saturday night, Tony Gomes overcame issues in his heat race and charged from 17th to finish fifth in the track’s penultimate winged 360ci race of the season.

“The night started off really well, but in our heat race I got into a bad spot and it resulted in a DNF,” Tony Gomes said. “We had a fast car, and that showed as we won the ‘B’, and charged from 17th to 5th in the feature.”

With 25 cars on hand after an extended break from point racing at the track, Gomes kicked the night off by timing the Lund Construction/Anrak/Sam Rhodes backed No. 7c in third quickest in qualifying time trials.

Lining up in the second row of his heat race, a couple of negated starts finally saw the race come to life. Racing out of turn four contact ensued between Gomes and another competitor, and in turns one and two the front end gave way as Gomes spun around a brought out the yellow.

Despite the crew giving it a valiant effort in the work area, Gomes’ heat was over and he was forced into the ‘B’, which he did go on to win going away.

Lining up from the ninth row for the 25-lap feature event, Gomes quickly worked his way forward as he was in 11th on the fourth lap and looking for a way into the Top-10.

Up to seventh on the sixth lap, Gomes was in sixth a lap later as the race got into a steady flow on the slick Placerville Speedway surface. Working into fifth on the 18th lap, Gomes was in a three-car battle with the two other Championship hopefuls as they battled for positions fourth-sixth.

Continuing to battle as the laps clicked off, Gomes took the checkered flag with a fifth-place finish and sits just 22 points out of the lead in the season long point standings heading into next weekend’s finale.

“I feel very good about our car heading into the finale, and if we can carry the same speed into this weekend’s race we should have a very fun night,” Gomes added. “Thanks to Cody and Bobby for working so hard on Saturday night, and thanks to Cody and Mandi for their continued support. We also all want to wish our good buddy John the best as he goes in for surgery this week.”

The C&M Motorsports team would like to thank Lund Construction, Anrak, Sam Rhodes, Alturas Tires, Swartz Diesel, Adrian Blanco Jewelry, Kings Meats, American Paving Systems, PT Shocks, Creason Enterprises, and all of their product sponsors for their continued support.

Joel Myers Jr and Hayward Motorsports Record Two More IRA Podiums

bbp_macon0824-135.JPG

PETERSEN MEDIA: Spending another weekend competing with the IRA, Joel Myer Jr and Hayward Motorsports continued to run extremely well with the series as the California product backed up last weekend’s sweep with two more podiums.

“We moved forward in both features, and put ourselves in a good spot both nights, we just didn’t quite have enough to be a couple of spots better each night,” Joel Myers Jr said. “Still, continuing to run these places for the first or second time and run up front is a testament to how hard everyone works.”

Friday night the double header weekend kicked off at Gondik Law Speedway where Myers timed the SHITI Coolers/Eddie Gilstrap Motors/Dirt Dudes Excavating backed No. 19h in second fastest in time trials.

Lining up in the second row of his heat race, the Sebastopol, CA wheelman powered his way to a second-place finish and locked himself into Dash No. 1, which set the inside starting positions for the feature event.

Gridding the field from the fifth position, Myers Jr got off to a good start as he was able to power his way up to third. Hanging on to a third-place finish, Myers Jr locked himself into the fifth starting position for the 25-lap feature event.

Battling between fifth and sixth during the opening stanzas of the feature event, Meyers Jr finally was able to create some separation on the sixth lap as he settled into the Top-5.

Continuing to make good laps in the fifth spot, the last four laps saw the 18-year-old do some moving and shaking. Moving into fourth on the 21st lap, Jr took over third on lap 24, and another move on the final lap saw him tally a second-place finish at the stripe as he chased behind Danny Sams.

Following the IRA to Cedar Lake Speedway on Saturday night, Myers Jr again timed in well to kick the night off as he ended up fifth on the speed charts. Picking up a fourth-place finish in heat race competition, Myers Jr again found himself in a Dash as a fifth place finish in Dash No. 2 put him 10th on the starting grid for the 30-lap finale.

Against a stout field on cars on hand at the New Richmond, WI facility, Myers Jr quickly began working his way forward as he moved into eighth on the race’s third lap, before moving into sixth on the 10th lap.

Looking for a way into the Top-Five, Myers Jr slid into fifth on the 13th lap and found himself in an entertaining battle with the likes of Kerry Madsen and Justin Henderson as they all battled for position up front.

Working into second on the 21st lap, Madsen continued to stalk him and snuck past on the 28th lap to drop Myers Jr back to third where he went on to finish.

“We had some good battles all weekend long, and raced alongside some very good cars,” Myers Jr said. “With tracks continuing to have series finale, these fields of cars continue to look a little different and it makes it fun to race against some different drivers. Big thanks to Brodie Hayward, and all of our partners for their continued support.”

Joel Myers Jr and Hayward Motorsports would like to thank Shiti Coolers, Eddie Gilstrap Motors, Byrd Racing, RPM Chassis, Factory Kahne Shocks, and Al Parker Engines for their continued support.

Joel Myers Jr Racing would like to thank All About Fire Protection, Hi-Plains Building Division, DirtDudes Excavating, Carbon Safety, System 1 Ignition, Weld, FK Rod Ends, Blud Lubricants, Smith Ti, Culvert Ops, Economy Plumbing, Cartronics, NorCal Powersports, Y2K Gaming, Shark Racing Engines, Lucas Oil, Vaider, Walker Performance Filtration, ShopRico.Com, Tiner Hirst Enterprise, Kaeding Performance, Triple X Race Co., and Ogio, for their continued support.

Starting November 29, 2024, the cost per class will be $125, and will close on December 13, 2024. After that, teams will have to enter at the event during check-in on Monday, December 30, 2024.

A quick reminder to teams regarding car numbers.

We do not allow reflective numbers. If your numbers are borderline or not readable, you will need to fix them. You will be given one warning during practice to fix your numbers. Numbers not fixed by race time will result in disqualification, and you will not be allowed to enter the racetrack.

Non-Wing Classes must have a number on the nose of your car. The letter must be above the number and legible. Winged Classes must have numbers on both sideboards. All cars must have legible numbers on the tail tank. Car numbers are a max of three digits. That includes the use of a letter.

For example, a car can be No. 100, or No. 10x. Not No. 100x.

Remember, we have three people hand scoring because sometimes the transponder system does go down, they fall off the car, or just stop working. We need to be able to read all car numbers so you are not scored incorrectly and also to speed up time under caution. It also helps our infield crew to move cars around when a RACEceiver malfunctions. Contrast is important. Black on black with a hint of grey is not readable when a car is in motion, especially from a distance.

Featured classes at the 40th running of the American Waste Control Tulsa Shootout include Coles County Speedway Winged Outlaw, Hyper Racing Non-Wing Outlaw, EVO Fuel Injection A-Class Winged, Joe’s Racing Products Stock Non-Wing, K&B Racing Restricted A-Class, and Flying A Motorsports Junior Sprints.

EDDIE TAFOYA JR SCORES ANOTHER TOP 10 FINISH AT KERN – HEADED TO VENTURA THIS WEEK

(Chino, CA, September 7, 2024) After racing on two different racetracks in 24 hours two weeks ago, Eddie Tafoya Jr. returns to action this Saturday night when the Ultimate Sprint Car Series presented by Inland Rigging returns to the Ventura Raceway. It will be the final tune-up at the track before the series returns to wrap up its initial season at the Turkey Night Grand Prix in November.

Tafoya’s last appearances came on August 31st and September 1st. Up first was the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars in the Johnny Vermeer/Narcie Ferreira Classic at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway in Bakersfield, where he finished ninth in the main event. Twenty-four hours later, the popular driver led several laps before getting knocked out of the race and finishing 17th in the USCS event at the Santa Maria Speedway.

At Kern, Tafoya qualified 14th fastest of the 27 USAC/CRA Cars who turned up to race at the track in the city known as “Nashville West.” A second-place finish in the beautiful #51T in his 10-lap heat race had the 27-year-old primed and ready for a good run in the main event.

Despite starting 14th in the 30 lapper, Tafoya showed that he had speed on the night. The Chino Hills, California Racer managed to move forward and stay out of the turn-one hole that plagued many competitors. When the checkered flag ended the race, he had moved up five spots to finish ninth. That gave the friendly driver eight straight top 10s in USAC/CRA this season. It was also his eighth top 10 in 11 starts in the tough series.

The following night, Tafoya shined in qualifying at Santa Maria. In the USCS, drivers draw a number and time trial against the racers they will compete with in their heat race. Tafoya was the fastest qualifier in his group, and his time of 13.522 was the fourth fastest time in the 26-car field.

After a fifth-place finish in his 10-lap heat, Tafoya lined up outside the front row for the main event. On a track that was definitely a “Cowboy Up Surface,” Tafoya flew into the lead at the drop of the green flag. The 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year maintained the top spot for the first five laps before slipping back to second on the rough terrain.

“It was very tough,” Tafoya said of leading the race with cars right behind. “Especially getting into lapped traffic in two and a half laps or whatever it was. I kind of overshot the setup a little bit. I got too aggressive when I probably should have rolled it back a bit when I knew it was going to be rough. I knew I was starting up front, and I knew I did not want to be too loose and I ended up being too tight.”

“It is really tough on the restarts when you are tight,” the 2018 Perris Young Gun champion continued. “That is pretty much the only time I was losing anything. Besides that, we were going forward.”

Tafoya stayed in the top five for over three-quarters of the race. However, after a lap 24 restart, he was hit by another car on his left side in turn four. The clatter sheared off the steering arm from the steering box. It knocked him out of the race and lowered him from a top-five finish to 17th.

“For the first time in a long time, I felt really balanced,” Tafoya said about the speed over the weekend. “I felt like I could go anywhere I really wanted to. That was good to feel as it has been a while since I had that. It was work through the week; I just went through everything. I made sure everything was perfect, square, and centered. I made sure all of my measurements were right. Sometimes you have a spell of races where you’re just not feeling it, so you just have to go back through all that stuff.”

Tafoya will be making his third appearance of the season at Ventura this Saturday, September 14. The now-veteran driver hopes to improve on his frustrating results at the famous track earlier this year. On June 1st, at the start of the main, Tafoya was leading the pack going into turn one when something broke in the front end of his car and sent him careening into the wall. That ended his night. Seven weeks later, at the track known as “The Commotion By The Ocean,” he was drilled from behind on a restart. The blow resulted in a flat tire that knocked him out of the race.

The veteran driver is more than capable of big results on the track located adjacent to the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean on the Ventura County Fairgrounds. Two years ago when USAC/CRA visited Ventura, Tafoya outqualified the field and placed fifth in the 30-lap main event.

Spectator gates to see Tafoya at Ventura will open at 3:00 p.m., with racing at 5:30. Adult tickets are $22.00. Seniors 60 and over, military with ID, and students with an ID get in for $18.00. Children 12 and under are free when they are accompanied by an adult. The track is located on the Ventura County Fairgrounds at 10 W. Harbor Boulevard (93001). The website is http://venturaraceway.com/, and the office phone number is (805) 648-RACE.

Friendly Tafoya is always happy to meet the fans in the pits after every race. He will sign autographs, pose for photos, and sell his beautiful 2024 team shirts. For fans who cannot attend the races, the team shirts are available at www.specialty-fasteners.com.

Fans can follow Tafoya on Instagram @eddietafoya51.

Tafoya and the #51T team would like to thank Specialty Fasteners, Inland Rigging, BR Motorsports, King Racing Products, Gasper Transportation, CMI Precision Machining, Owen’s Insurance Services, Keen Concrete, DRC Chassis, and Rider Racing Engines for supporting its racing program.

Big Wheel rallies at Cedar Lake; IRA championship quest to continue at 141
ByTyler Altmeyer
Sep 9, 2024

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (September 9, 2024) – Scotty Thiel and Team 73 had their hands full during their recent weekend of competition, and despite some unexpected hiccups and challenges, one of which a nowhere to go situation at Gondik Law Speedway, the “Big Wheel” concluded his two-race sweep still on top of the IRA Outlaw Sprint Series championship chase – padded by nearly 60 markers heading into the coming weekend’s visit to 141 Speedway.

Thiel, ace of the Gibbsville Cheese, Professional Plating Inc, Ludwig & Sons Trucking, Total Restoration Services, Scott Thiel Builders, Lift Pro, Schmidts Landscaping, Complete Water, Iron Buffalo Saloon, GRP Motorsports, Lake Home Retreats, Elliott Family, Diamond Pools, No. 73 sprint car, finished 13th and seventh during his recent weekend stretch through the Badger State; scored 13th in the aforementioned visit to Gondik Law and seventh in the 24th Annual Jerry Richert Memorial at Cedar Lake Speedway. Although Cedar Lake’s end result was the product of forward progress, rallying all the way from row seven, Thiel’s Gondik Law outcome was technically an unexpected DNF, forced to end action due to a slide job gone wrong – he was on the receiving end.

As noted, despite the chaos, Thiel’s IRA championship lead remains strong. Only three events are left standing on the 2024 calendar including 141 Speedway on Saturday, September 14, followed by a doubleheader weekend at Mississippi Thunder Speedway and Plymouth Dirt Track on September 27-28.

“Just one of those weekends. We’re still on top of the points, which I’m proud of, but we’d much rather have a clean and unscathed last three races,” Thiel was quick to note. “Can’t say enough about this team and everyone who helps us. It’s a total-team effort each and every weekend. We’ll head into 141 with our heads up and focused.”

ON DECK:
Scotty Thiel and Team 73 will resume IRA Outlaw Sprint Series action with a visit to 141 Speedway in Maribel, Wisconsin, on Saturday, September 14.

Westfall finds top-ten in USAC visit to Arkansas; Circle City and Tri-State next on agenda

By Fully Injected Motorsports:

FOREST, Ohio (September 9, 2024) – Matt Westfall and Ray Marshall Motorsprots are certainly no strangers to Texarkana 67 Speedway in Texarkana, Arkansas, continuing their stretch of success in The Natural State with a USAC National Sprint Cars top-ten on Saturday, September 7.

Originally slated to be a two-day affair until Mother Nature stepped in and intervened, Pleasant Hill, Ohio’s Westfall launched the one-day program with a runner-up performance during heat race competition, racing on to finish ninth in the evening’s main event; he started from row six. Westfall’s eventual top-ten bumped his season tally to eight, three of which accomplished within the top-five.

Westfall, who pilots Ray Marshall’s Buckeye Machine Fabricators Inc, Hempy Water, DPI Ink, Wix Filters, Rod End Supply, Allstar Performance, No. 33M sprint car, was the defending Texarkana 67 Speedway winner with USAC, claiming a $10,000 payday in 2023.

“Mother Nature didn’t give us much hope for two tries at Texarkana, but we made the most of our trip. We’ve really enjoyed racing there these last few years,” Westfall explained. “We wanted to get another big win for Ray [Marshall]. We still have plenty of time. I’m confident we’ll get a few more for him before the year comes to a close.”

ON DECK: Matt Westfall and Ray Marshall Motorsports will continue their 2024 USAC National Sprint Cars campaign with an Indiana doubleheader on Friday and Saturday, September 13-14, visiting Circle City Raceway and Tri-State Speedway in consecutive fashion.

SPECIAL THANKS: Ray Marshall Motorsports and Matt Westfall would like to thank all of their marketing partners including: Buckeye Machine Fabricators Inc, Hempy Water, DPI Ink, Wix Filters, Rod End Supply, Allstar Performance.

Greg Wilson fifth in Atomic Speedway visit
ByTyler Altmeyer
Sep 9, 2024

BENTON RIDGE, Ohio (September 9, 2024) – It was a last minute decision, but the decision certainly paid off, as Greg Wilson and Greg Wilson Racing continued their 2024 campaign with a one night stay at Atomic Speedway in Chillicothe, Ohio, on Saturday, September 7. Wilson, a recent IRA Outlaw Sprint Series main event winner, finished fifth in his visit to the southern Ohio highbanks, improving three positions after commencing action from row four.

For Wilson, ace of his own Hercules Tires, Ohio Logistics Warehousing & Transportation, DNC Hydraulics, No. W20 sprint car, the result was not only beneficial from a statistical standpoint, improving his top-ten tally to 18 in 2024 – 15 of which top-fives – but from a momentum standpoint, as well, as major events stand ahead at two potential destinations.

“We’ve been having a great last several weeks and I owe it all to my family. Not sure of the plan yet for this weekend, like much of our recent schedule has been, but wherever we end up, we’ll be ready,” Wilson said. “It’s hard to believe we’re rolling right through September. There’s still a lot of racing left on our plate.”

Schuerenberg and TKS Motorsports to continue Pennsylvania road trip with stop at Lernerville Speedway
ByTyler Altmeyer
Sep 9, 2024

MITCHELLVILLE, Iowa (September 9, 2024) – It was a tough weekend at the “Speed Palace” for Hunter Schuerenberg and TKS Motorsports, and despite the hardships, ultimately missing Saturday’s 50-lap, $57,000-to-win Tuscarora 50 starting lineup, the growth and comfort-seeking continues, working to alter their Pennsylvania perception in an upcoming Lernerville Speedway doubleheader on Friday and Saturday, September 13-14.

“Those weekends are going to happen. Our Port Royal experience as a team is obviously pretty limited, and with any new driver and team combination, you’re going to have some struggles. We’ll shake that off and move forward,” Troy Renfro, owner of the Iowa Barnstormers, Des Moines Industrial Products, Jersey Freeze Ice Cream, No. 2KS sprint car, said. “Hats off to Hunter for his hard work this weekend. We have another big two days at Lernerville so we’re excited to give things another go.”

Although missing Saturday’s Tuscarora 50 finale, Sikeston, Missouri’s “Hunter Percent” and TKS Motorsports put themselves in the big dance on Friday, qualifying before finishing 20th in the Night Before The Tuscarora 50.

KNOXVILLE, Iowa (September 9, 2024) – Cory Eliason and Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) made the most of their three-day effort at the Port Royal Speedway “Speed Palace,” and although the Visalia, California, native was unable to attain a top-ten in the weekend’s coveted 50-lapper, the shining moments were plenty, highlighting all attempts with a top-ten performance in Friday’s Night Before The Tuscarora 50.

It was a B-Main transfer position that secured his place in the weekend showstopper, racing on to finish second from the pole position.

“Definitely one of the toughest weekends of the year. I think we wanted a little bit more out of the 50-lapper on Saturday, but we did the best we could despite the challenges,” Eliason, driver of the Commercial Edge, NDT New Direction Transport LLC, Ridge Development, North Ridge Development, Elliott’s Custom Trailers & Carts, No. 8 sprint car, said. “Excited to get back to Lernerville and see what we can do.

LOGAN WILLIAMS LOOKS FOR A TURN OF FORTUNE AT SATURDAY’S SANTA MARIA USAC/CRA RACE

(Ontario, CA, September 5, 2024) After an unsatisfactory result in last Saturday's Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series main event at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway, veteran driver Logan Williams is looking for a change in fortune this Saturday night when the series heads to the Santa Maria Speedway.

Williams, 28, goes into this weekend’s competition ranked fifth in the USAC/CRA championship point standings. The 2014 Series Rookie of the Year has had a breakout season in 2024. However, last Saturday’s uncharacteristic result was one of the few blemishes in his season's racing ledger. It was only the third time in 13 starts that he has failed to finish in the top 10. All three of those outings came when he was not around for the finish of the 30-lappers.

Saturday’s race will be the third of the season at Santa Maria for Yorba Linda, California-based Williams, and it will be a welcome getaway from the blast furnace temperatures that have been torching Southern California. Williams, the son of National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Rip Williams and brother of fellow USAC/CRA stars Cody and Austin Williams, had an outstanding outing at Santa Maria four weeks ago on August 10th. After qualifying six fastest and placing 5th in his heat on the 60-year-old one-third mile bank clay oval, Williams began the main event outside the front row.

In the main, Williams, driving the beautiful Flowdynamics #5W, hounded the leader over the first half of the race and nearly stole the point position several times. However, a fast leader, lapped cars, and a “cowboy up” track thwarted those attempts. The affable driver held the runner-up spot until he was passed at the checkered flag and finished third. His only better finish of the year came at Kern on June 8th when he placed second.

In his initial appearance of 2024 at Santa Maria, Williams won his heat race and came from 11th to finish eighth in the main event on July 6th.

Last Saturday at Kern, Williams, the 2013 Perris Auto Speedway Young Guns Champion, qualified 17th in the 27-car field and placed fourth in his 10-lap heat race. He started the 30-lap main in 17th and quickly reached the top 10. The likable driver stayed in the top 10 until lap 24, when he suddenly rolled to a stop in turn four. Unfortunately, a hook was needed to get the car off the track, and he finished with a very frustrating 18th-place result.

“We don’t know,” the baffled Williams responded when asked what put him out of the race. “The car has been handling really bad the last two races.”

For fans wanting to see Williams at USAC/CRA’s last 2024 appearance at Santa Maria on Saturday, adult tickets are $30.00. Seniors and military get in for $28.00. For kids 6-12, it is only $5.00, and children 5 and under are free. Gates will open at 4:00 p.m., qualifying will begin at 5:00 and the first race will take the green flag at 6:00. The track is located at 1900 Hutton Road in Nipomo. The track website is https://santamariaspeedway.net/.

After Saturday’s race, Williams will be joined by his teammate Matt McCarthy when USAC/CRA returns to its home track, Perris Auto Speedway, on September 21st.

Fremont Speedway's Jim Ford Classic richest weekend in track's history

Saturday, Sept. 7, 2024

FREMONT, Ohio – The 17th Annual Jim Ford Classic at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction, slated for Friday and Saturday, Sept. 13 and 14, will be the richest paying event in the 73 year history of “The Track That Action Built.”

“When Jim Ford resurrected Fremont Speedway nearly 25 years ago, he saved the tradition of exciting entertainment that has been around for nearly a century. It’s appropriate we honor his legacy with the richest paying event in the history of this great track,” said Rich Farmer, Fremont Speedway Promoter.

On Kistler Engines Night, Friday, there will be double features for the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprints. The $10,000-to-win make up feature from Ohio Sprint Speedweek (there were three laps completed before the rains came) will be contested followed by a regular night’s show. Both events will be operated under the Ti-22 Performance FAST On Dirt Series format. The FAST regular event on Friday will pay $5,000 to win, $1,000 for 10th and $600 to start with a total A-main purse of $25,000.

Also on Friday, the Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks will run the “double down” format with two 15-lap feature events only. The top 18 qualifiers will be locked into the twin features, with six being added from the last chance race. The first feature will be lined up straight up from times with the second feature being inverted based on a dice roll of 2-12. It will be a full weekly purse for each feature event.

The Gill Construction/All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads Night, Saturday for the 410-sprints will feature a $20,000-to-win, $1,000 for 10th, $600 to start with a total purse of $50,000! Saturday will be a qualifying/heat passing points format similar to what the track used during the 305 fair race event. Twenty-two cars will make the A-main from the heats and B-main with two provisionals added – the highest All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by the Baumann Auto Group that didn’t transfer and the highest in Fremont weekly points that did not transfer.

The format is as follows for the 410 sprints:

• 2 laps of single car time trials - 1~2 cars at a time.

• Late for Qualifying: (1) lap at the end and only receive 75% of qualifying points.

• Qualifying Points awarded: 150 for 1st, 147 for 2nd …… down by 3 per position.

• Passing points for heats

• A-main lined straight up by combined points

• B-main transfers (6) will tag the tail of the A-main by finish.

• Any ties in points will be broken by actual qualifying time.

• 23rd starter. - Highest in AFCS Points not yet in the feature

• 24th starter. - Highest in Fremont Track Points not yet in the feature

Also on Saturday the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints will run the “double down” format with the top 18 going to the 20-lapA-mains and taking 6 from the last chance race. The first feature is straight up from times with the second feature being inverted via a dice roll of 2-12. It will be a full weekly purse for each feature event.

The race fans and crews will also have some fun. Friday night after the races in the campground across from the track race driver Jamie Miller will host karaoke. Following the races Saturday night in the campground there will be a band featuring racer Bryan Sebetto on the drums!

Also Saturday at noon in the Fremont Speedway Hall of Fame the 2025 royalty contest will be held and all are welcome to attend.

Keen Overcoming Issues, Incidents and Learning Curve in Rookie 410 Sprint Season

Port Royal, PA – September 6, 2024

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

It’s been a tough summer for 410 sprint car rookie Kyle Keen.

His season started reasonably well for a rookie on the tough Central PA circuit. He qualified for 11 of his first 15 events and had an average finishing position of 18th. It wasn’t about the finishing position, it was about finishing. Making as many laps as possible each night to give himself the best chance to learn and improve. He was accomplishing that goal.

As summer got into full gear, there seemed to be one challenge after another. Between part failures, the learning curve, and incidents it seemed never-ending.

Keen went into 410 sprint car racing knowing it wouldn’t be easy though, so he just kept grinding it out. QUICK RESULTS

DATE: September 2, 2024

Event: Labor Day Classic Division: 410 Sprint Cars Location: Port Royal Speedway, ort Royal, PA Stats: 40 cars, Group 1 Qualifying 3rd, Heat 2nd (4), A-main 20th (9)

OFF TRACK

PA Speedweek brought on the first hurdle of the summer for Keen when he encountered an engine part failure at Hagerstown Speedway in Maryland. It was his third Speedweek race attempt and third DNQ (did not qualify) but against the stout fields that series draws, there was certainly no reason to stress over the results.

The engine issue sidelined the Fine Line Auto Body, Hess Bid / Hess Auctioneers, Keen Parts / CorvetteParts.net, Shetron Trailers, Heishman Racing Fuels, DL Lehman Construction, Fuel Ox No.17k for four weeks. Keen returned to Williams Grove Speedway on August 2nd, shook off the rust, and logged a 16th-place finish. It seemed all was normal again.

That feeling was replaced with frustration over the following two weeks. Keen raced four times, making only one feature and damaging two cars.

After showing good speed early in the evening in his first-ever venture to the track, Keen got caught up in an incident that started a few rows in front of him in the A-main at Lincoln Speedway on August 17th, then suffered a steering part issue one week later on August 23rd at Williams Grove Speedway in the B-main.

Each week he bounced back after long hours in the shop preparing to get back to the track. The labor and expense are difficult enough to overcome but the mental toughness required to soldier on through trials like these is even harder for a driver, even if sometimes the circumstances are not your fault.

Confidence wanes. Self-doubt creeps in.

Overcoming that can often be more difficult than figuring out the right setup for the race car. They say a confident driver is worth two-tenths of a second, so when the going gets tough, all focus turns to getting back to basics. The goal becomes to simply put together a full night, make the show, and get back to the shop with everything in one piece. BACK ON TRACK

With racing action on August 30th and 31st washed out by rain, Keen shifted his attention to his first-ever Labor Day Classic at Port Royal Speedway. The event provides a unique challenge to drivers and teams on the tricky daytime surface.

Keen got his afternoon off on the right foot by spinning off the 3rd quickest lap in his group to earn the 2nd starting spot in his heat race.

The Carlisle, PA native kept the momentum going, challenging for the lead on the opening lap of the heat race. Chase Dietz fended off the surge by Keen, who settled into 2nd. He went on to maintain full control of the runner-up spot to the finish.

Keen found himself with a top-ten starting spot for the 73rd Annual Labor Day Classic, something that quickly reinstated at least some of his confidence behind the wheel.

The only thing that didn’t go right for Keen on Monday afternoon was his setup choices for the feature. The daylight surface was a new challenge and they guessed wrong, causing the No.17k to fall back in the running order.

Mired in 20th with less than ten laps remaining and nothing to gain from continuing, Keen retired from the event.

“We had the boat anchor out.”, Keen said with a good-natured grin. “We missed the setup for the feature but it’s all good, it’s part of us learning to figure out what we need to be more hooked up with a full fuel load.”

“I’m proud of our team! We’ve been getting closer and closer this season. And we haven’t quit despite some really tough challenges. I’m really proud of how well we have been qualifying the last few races, which is a super important part of being successful in these things.”

Keen has the right attitude and work ethic to weather what his rookie season throws at him. There are still a few races left and he intends to finish 2024 strong. UP NEXT

Keen will take a break this weekend. Plans for the remainder of the season will be announced soon. Follow Kyle at the social media outlets listed below to get the latest updates!

BRODY ROA SURPRISED MANY IN RETURN TO HIS OWN CAR AT SANTA MARIA

(Cypress, CA, September 4, 2024) In what was a surprise to everyone from the fans in the grandstands to the other drivers in the pit area, Brody Roa showed up in his own #91R when Inland Rigging presented the Ultimate Sprint Car Series “Race For Chase” last Sunday night at the Santa Maria Speedway. It was the first time the veteran driver was on the track in his familiar green race car since the final event of the 2022 season.

Last year, Roa won the USAC/CRA championship in the Tom and Kristy Dunkel Inland Rigging #17R. The car was a combined effort using Roa’s chassis, the same one he drove at Santa Maria and engines supplied by Dunkel. At Sunday’s race, the car was powered by an engine that the Garden Grove, California racing star purchased out of Pennsylvania.

When the bright green #91R rolled onto the track on Sunday at Santa Maria, it was met with excitement from the fans. While it was a surprise to them, it was not a spur-of-the-moment deal. In fact, the friendly driver had been working on it all year.

“I kind of picked away at it all year,” Roa said about putting his own deal back on the track. “I slowly pieced it back together. Getting it painted and stuff. We didn’t have an engine the whole time. The engine finally showed up in the middle of July.”

While the engine arrived over a month and a half ago, the veteran driver continued to take his time getting everything together. The fact of the matter is he did not even plan on racing last weekend. From the start of the year, August 31st was marked as an off day on his schedule. That was also the day that there was a conflict between the USAC/CRA and USCS schedules. USAC/CRA was slated to be at Kern and USCS was scheduled at Santa Maria. That conflict is what opened the door for Roa to get the #91R on the track.

“I had August 31st marked off my schedule all year as not racing that night,” Roa explained. “Malyssa (USCS president Malyssa Perkins) rescheduled Santa Maria for September 1st. Jayson (Jayson May owner of the #8M Roa has been driving) obviously wanted somebody in the car for Kern. That is his home track and all of his sponsors are right there. So, Jake Andreotti ran the #8M car the whole weekend and we decided to put my car together to race at Santa Maria.”

The biggest obstacle in getting his program up and running was not a minor detail. Roa did not have an engine! He went on the hunt and found it in the sprint car hotbed of Pennsylvania.

“It is an old Dash 12 some guy in Pennsylvania had,” Roa said of his new engine. “He did all of the machine work on it and assembled it. He had Kreitz dyno it, and it looks good on the dyno sheet. It runs pretty good. I was really pleased with how it ran Sunday. It was pretty strong for a Dash 12. They are older engines and not as big a hitter as what we had the past 12 years or so with some All-Pros from Shaver. It was kind of back to the first engine I had when I started 410 racing. They are kind of soft and super drivable. You can just stand on the throttle and worry about turning the steering wheel.”

Last Sunday at the track where he has had the most success in his career, Roa qualified second fastest in his eight-car group with a time of 13.890. That was the seventh fastest of the 26 cars that showed up to race at the 60-year-old speed plant. He followed that up by going from his fourth-place starting spot to finishing third in his 10-lap heat.

For the 30-lap main on the track that was anything but smooth as a baby’s behind or a pool table on the night, Roa began in the 11th position. The wily veteran momentarily raced up to fifth. However, things unraveled after that.

“We had some decent speed,” Roa recalled. “We ran third in our heat race and we were not the fastest in our group. With the format, running third in our heat started us pretty far back in the main.”

“There was just kind of one strip of moisture and grip in the racetrack,” Roa continued. “In that strip it was really rough and it was really hard to get by guys. I had a really good restart in the middle of the race and I was fifth or maybe sixth. Got by a couple of guys I was stuck behind most of the race and then the caution came out on the same lap. They got put back in front of us.”

Not long after the race restarted, Roa tangled with another car in turn three and flipped toward the turn four crash wall, ending his night.

“I think a lapped car that was a couple cars ahead of me got woahed up in the corner and everybody checked up,” he said of the end of his race. “I just didn’t get her woahed up in time. I haven’t even taken it out of the trailer yet. Looking at it in the pits after the races it looks like it is just front end damage. Some radius rods, a couple shocks, and a Jacob’s ladder at this point. All the cheap stuff. I said that (cheap stuff) with air quotes. I don’t think it was really a big hit. Watching the video it almost looked like it spun like a top on the top of the car. Hopefully, the chassis is okay and we will put her back together.”

While the race did not end the way he hoped, Roa did achieve a goal he set out to when he put the car together. The night was all about family.

“It was really just my family,” Roa said of the crew that was there for the night. “Had my dad, uncle, mom, wife, and daughters. That was the gang. I wanted to have the family deal together one more time. That was the whole point of getting the gang back together and doing it for fun.”

Roa is off the next couple of weeks but will return to action on September 21st when the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series returns to its home track, the “Southern California Home of Major League Sprint Car Racing,” Perris Auto Speedway. The racing veteran has a lot of advertising space available on the car and is seeking marketing partners for the remainder of the 2023 campaign. If interested, use the contact information at the top of this release.

“Yeah, every little contribution helps,” Roa stated when asked if he would like to add some sponsors. “I don’t know how much we will race it, and when we will race it. After crashing Sunday night, that cost a lot of money. We are always looking for somebody to jump on board. We have blank sides of the hood, so there is plenty of room.”

Roa would like to thank his sponsors, “Biker” Bruce Fischer, ALR Virtual Services, Burris Racing, Caltrol, Competition Suspension, Simpson Race Gear, Rod End Supply, Driven Racing Oil, Baldwin Filters, and NGK Spark Plugs. If you would like to be a marketing partner in 2024, contact Roa using the information at the top of this release.

LIGUORI LOOKS TO SEAL THE DEAL WITH MUST SEE TITLE AT BIRCH RUN

September 5, 2024 - Holly, Michigan - Joe Liguori will be looking to seal the deal on his first career Must See Racing Series Sprint Series Presented by Perfit-Parts championship when the series invades Birch Run Speedway September 13 for the series season finale.

When Liguori arrives at Birch Run Speedway, all he must do is start the feature event and he will claim his first career series title. Liguori has put himself in position to clinch the title by simply starting the feature event. But he’s looking to do much more than start the feature event, he’d like to close the deal with a feature victory. He’d like to pick up a feature victory and avoid going winless on the year.

Liguori picked up the $10,000 non-points Southern Sprint Car Shootout Series / Must See Racing co-sanctioned event at Citrus County Speedway in Inverness, Florida in March.

He knows all too well it’s not over until the fat lady sings and that the “Liguori Curse” is real. Bad luck has eluded himself from championships and races just like his grandfather Ralph Liguori before him. By sealing the championship next weekend, he can kick his bad luck to the curb in the process.

If Liguori intends to cap off the season with a win, he will have his work cut out for him. Besides the MSR regulars, he will have to contend with the likes of Bobby Sants III, 14-year-old phenom Colton Bettis, and Kody Swanson.

The series will be making its first appearance at Birch Run Speedway since last Labor Day Weekend when Davey Hamilton Jr. took home the victory.

Joining the MSR National Series will be the Maxima Racing Oils Midwest Lights Series. In the MSR Lights points battle, only twelve points separate the top three drivers. Cody Gallogly has a slim two-point lead over JJ Henes with Andrew Bogusz lurking in third place. Bogusz has been the hottest driver recently with two consecutive wins heading into Birch Run. He will be looking to extend his streak and narrow the gap in his quest for a series championship.

MSR’s twin bill of winged racing has been popular with race fans recently and next weekend’s event appears to be much the same. Running both the national series and the Lights series on the same night has been a regular occurrence for Must See Racing recently.
A full field of top talent is anticipated in both classes. Expected entries in the National series include Adam Biltz, Teddy Alberts, Jason Blonde, Tom Geren, Rick Holley, Bobby Komisarski, Ryan Litt, Jimmy McCune, Kevin Mingus, and Tommy Nichols, Charlie Schultz, Dorman Snyder, and more.

Eldora Speedway Hires Levi Jones as General Manager

Championship-Winning USAC Driver and Motorsports Industry Veteran To Oversee World’s Greatest Dirt Track

ROSSBURG, Ohio (Sept. 5, 2024) – Eldora Speedway has hired championship-winning USAC driver and motorsports executive Levi Jones as general manager for the World’s Greatest Dirt Track.

The appointment serves as a homecoming for Jones, with the 42-year-old from Olney, Illinois, having raced for Eldora Speedway owner Tony Stewart in the United States Auto Club (USAC) from 2006 until the midpoint of 2013, winning six of his seven USAC championships with Tony Stewart Racing.

Jones comes to Eldora from IndyCar, where he has been director of Indy NXT, the stepping-stone division to the flagship NTT IndyCar Series. Prior to his three-year tenure at IndyCar, Jones held numerous competition and executive positions with USAC, rising from national series competition director in 2015-2019 to executive vice president from 2019 until October 2021 when he joined IndyCar.

Jones will officially begin his general manager role at Eldora on Sept. 16 following IndyCar’s season finale at Nashville (Tenn.) Superspeedway.

“On behalf of everyone at Eldora Speedway, we’re excited and grateful to have Levi Jones as our general manager,” Stewart said. “Levi has always held Eldora in high regard, both as a racer and as an executive. Now in his role as general manager, he combines a racer’s perspective with excellent managerial and promotional experience earned in USAC and IndyCar. Our fans and competitors should know that Eldora is in very good hands, just as it had been before.

“We had a terrific leader in Jerry Gappens, and all of us were devastated by his passing. I’m incredibly proud of the entire staff who stepped up in what has been a very trying time. At numerous points this summer, we all asked, ‘What would Jerry have done?’ as we worked to put our best foot forward.

“I want to especially thank Jonathan Bateman, who has worn nearly every hat and done every job at Eldora since joining us in 2006. He became our interim general manager after Jerry passed, and he had less than two weeks to get ready for one of our biggest races, the Dirt Late Model Dream. He was an absolute pro, and the Dream and our summer slate of racing wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for the experience and work ethic Jonathan brings to Eldora every day.”

Jones delivers another established work ethic to Eldora. He won 35 feature races during his USAC driving career, a tally spread amongst Sprint Car (28 wins), Midget (four wins) and Silver Crown (three wins). His USAC Sprint Car titles came in 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011, and he earned back-to-back USAC Silver Crown championships in 2010 and 2011. All but Jones’ 2005 Sprint Car championship came with Tony Stewart Racing.

That experience made Jones a perfect fit for USAC, where as its national series competition director, he led the planning and operation of more than 75 USAC events across the United States in the Sprint Car, Midget and Silver Crown divisions. When Jones was promoted to USAC executive vice president, he helped diversify the sanctioning body’s scope beyond open-wheel racing. Under Jones’ watch, USAC expanded to youth racing, off-road competition, rally and sports car racing. All the while, Jones was responsible for maintaining and executing annual rule books, managing sponsorships for each series, negotiating sanction agreements, personnel management and working as race director, when needed.

“Being general manager of Eldora Speedway is a huge opportunity and I’m grateful for it,” Jones said. “I know I have big shoes to fill from all that Jerry Gappens and his predecessors accomplished, but I’m ready for this moment. I know Eldora’s history and what it means to fans and everyone who comes through its pit gate, whether they’re a driver or a crew member. We are passionate that Eldora remains the preeminent dirt track in the world, and that’s my aim as general manager.”

Carved from a cornfield in 1954, Eldora has become a leader in motorsports growth and sustainability. The half-mile, dirt oval hosts some of the most prestigious grassroots racing events in the world, and 2024 is its 71st consecutive season of racing.

“Eldora is the track where everyone wants to win because you really have to earn it, and when you do, your name is on a list of legends,” said Jones, a two-time winner of Eldora’s 4-Crown Nationals (2005 and 2010). “There’s a lot of pride that comes with just competing at Eldora, and credit goes to track founders Earl and Berneice Baltes. They made Eldora a destination with constant improvement and innovation. Tony Stewart has done an incredible job of continuing all that Earl and Berneice created, and I’m honored to help carry on their vision.”

Jones’ first race as Eldora general manager will be the 4-Crown Nationals, which features consecutive nights of racing Sept. 20-21, headlined by the Kubota High Limit Racing winged sprint car series and the USAC Sprint Car, Midget and Silver Crown National Championship series.

CRSA BEGINS SEPTEMBER AT THE PORT

Press Release By: Marty Czekala - September 4, 2024

Oh, has the season gone by so quick.

After taking Labor Day weekend off, the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints powered by Super Gen Products return to Weedsport Speedway for the third round of the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge.

The race is a part of night one of Cavalcade Weekend at “The Port” and is a part of the undercard to the Super DIRTcar Series.

It’s the second trip this season to Weedsport for CRSA, making it the first time Weedsport hosts a pair of CRSA races in the same season. Last May, Jordan Hutton kicked off the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge with his first trip to Victory Hill.

Here’s a look at the storylines this weekend.

Tune In: Saturday’s action can be seen live on DIRTVision, with Marty Czekala on the call. For $5.99 a month, you can expand your race night experience at the track or online through the MyRacePass app or at www.myracepass.com, which features entries, lineups, fantasy and results.

Last Time Out: CRSA made a trip to Brewerton Speedway for the first time ever.

34 drivers checked in for a night to become the first CRSA winner at Brewerton and one driver joined the all-time club for wins.

Four-time series champion Jeff Trombley led all 25 laps and put the Warren Alexson-owned No. 3a across the line first for his 14th career victory, tying him with Danny Varin, Scott Goodrich, and Josh Pieniazek for first on the all-time wins list.

“It’s been a frustrating year,” said Trombley in victory lane. “The guys have been giving me a great car all year. We’ve been running good, just got to finish.”

Trombley has been in past situations in 2024 where he has had chances to get that first win of the season but has fallen short. At both Afton and Fonda, engine issues plagued him from getting a shot at the win while leading. It wasn’t the case this time.

Billy VanInwegen finished second for the third time this season while rookie Zach Sobotka, a Sportsman regular, came home third in his third career CRSA start.

Point Standings: Tomy Moreau increased his points lead on Kyle Pierce to 31 points while still looking for his first win of the season.

With a spin under the white flag last week, Dalton Herrick fell back in the standings, now 55 behind “The Canadian Kid.”

Ron Greek and Blake Warner round out the top five, with them 109 and 137 back, respectively.

The rest of the top 10 are John Cunningham, Cliff Pierce, Adam DePuy, Jordan Hutton and Jerry Sehn Jr.

As for the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge, Hutton holds a 10-point advantage over Jeff Trombley. Herrick is third, 27 behind, Moreau fourth, 33 back, while DePuy rounds out the top five 43 markers behind.

Perfect on the Thruway: Speaking of Hutton, the No. 66 is a perfect two-for-two in I-90 Pit Stop Challenge races in 2024. "J-Hutt" won last May at Weedsport, followed by a last-lap pass on Jeff Trombley to win at Fonda in July.

Trombley is two-for-two in runner-ups, finishing second to Hutton in both I-90 events.

September Slam: One month remains in the CRSA Sprints season and by the end of September, we could see up to five different champions.

Sept. 14 will crown our first champion in the Dandy Triple Play at Woodhull Raceway. Sept. 20 will then crown a Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series champion at Skyline Raceway Motorsports Park in Virgil. Sept. 27 will declare our I-90 Pit Stop Challenge champion at Utica-Rome Speedway followed by the points finale at Land of Legends Raceway in Canandaigua to determine our DisBatch Brewing Company Challenge champion and overall points winner.

The season finale is a non-points event Oct. 5 at Cornwall Motor Speedway in Ontario for the Canadian CRSA/Crate Challenge.

By the Numbers: Weedsport Speedway holds the record for most entries in an event at 42 back in May. 12 drivers have recorded a top five at Weedsport with four different winners. Billy VanInwegen leads all drivers with two wins, while Darryl Ruggles, Bobby Parrow and Jordan Hutton each have a victory.

From the Frontman: “The season has gone way too fast. We’re excited to return to a tight 1/3-mile track in Weedsport. When the night gets to feature time, the drivers will search all-around. We hope you come out or tune in!" ~ Mike Emhof

Up Next: CRSA will try for its first two-in-two of the season at Penn Can Speedway for King of the Can and the Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Sept. 13 followed by Woodhull Raceway the following night to crown the first champion of the season. Friday’s race can be seen on Race Report TV and on Dirt Track Digest TV.

Tanner Carrick Has Strong Weekend in Placerville, CA

PETERSEN MEDIA: After a grueling stretch with High Limit Racing, Tanner Carrick returned to form over the weekend in Placerville, CA as he picked up a sixth place finish to open the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout on Saturday night before a third place effort during Sunday night’s finale.

“We definitely struggled at times racing with the High Limit guys, so it felt good to put some tough races behind us and be back up front and battling for wins,” Tanner Carrick said. “Sunday night I started third and kind of took too long to figure out what I needed to do to get going. We held the spot all race long, and even got into second briefly.”

Following an impressive run from 12th to 6th to open the weekend up on Saturday night, Carrick got Sunday off to a quick start as he stopped the clock in time trials with the 7th fastest lap of the night amongst the 31 cars that were checked into the pit area.

Lining up on the pole of his heat race, it was vital to get the jump as the win also came with a berth in the Trophy Dash. Getting the jump over Tony Gomes, Carrick worked the ¼ mile bullring to perfection.

Grabbing the win, the Lincoln, CA driver was able to punch his ticket into both the Dash and the feature event as he took the green flag from the eighth starting position in the six-lap shootout.

Having a very impressive showing in the Dash, the Lincoln, CA driver had a very good CVC/CWA/Cemex No. 83T entry under him as he put on a show and battled his way to a third-place finish.

With the finish, Carrick found himself in the second row of the 35-lap feature event as he chased after the $8000 top prize that was up for grabs on this night.

On the slick Placerville Speedway surface, Carrick settled into third as the race came to life. While running in third he chased after former Australian Champion, Jock Goodyer, and current High Limit Racing regular, Justin Peck.

Stalking the two Carrick got close to Peck on the 20th lap, and briefly took over second, but then quickly found himself back in fourth as Bubba DeCaires briefly entered the battle.

As the race moved along, Carrick was able to use a late move to get by Peck and take the third and final spot on the podium when the checkered flag flew.

“I needed to make some decisions earlier which probably cost us a little, but all in all it was a good weekend for us, and great to get back up on the podium at Placerville Speedway,” Carrick added.

BY THE NUMBERS: Starts: 49, Wins: 6, Top 5’s: 23, Top 10’s: 31

ON TAP: Carrick now will battle the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars on Friday night at Stockton Dirt Track before returning to Placerville Speedway on Saturday night.

Cole Macedo Scores Pair of Top-5’s In WA to Close High Limit Swing; Now Set to Take on World of Outlaws

PETERSEN MEDIA- With a busy swing with High Limit Racing out West now in the books, Cole Macedo and Tarlton Motorsports have another test in front of them; the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series.

“Overall, it was a pretty successful end to the High Limit Racing swing,” Cole Macedo said. “Drew Warner and the guys worked extremely hard and it was really a tough stretch dating back to Chico and then racing all the way up to Skagit, WA.”

Following an 11th place finish at Douglas County Dirtrack in Roseburg, OR, a tricky Grays Harbor Raceway threw many off, but not Macedo and the Tarlton Motorsports team.

Earning quick time honors in time trials, Macedo lined the Tarlton and Son Inc./Complete Parts and Equipment Solutions/Executive Auto Sales backed No. 21 up in the second row of his heat race. Battling to a second-place finish, Macedo locked into the Dash where a second place finish put him on the front row of the feature event.

After staling alongside Trey Starks, Macedo settled into second where he raced much of the night. Able to pressure Starks on a few occasions, Macedo settled into second until drifting back to a fifth place finish over the last four laps of the main.

Checking into Skagit Speedway on Thursday night, a tough qualifying effort put Macedo and company in a deep hole. After timing in 24th, a second place finish in heat race action was just good enough to sneak him into the feature event as he rolled off the starting grid from the 10th row.

Salvaging the night the best he could, Macedo worked his way forward and ended up 13th when the feature came to a close.

Back in action on Friday night for another complete program, Macedo got off to a much better start as he ended up sixth quickest in qualifications before advancing from 5th to 3rd in heat race competition.

Lining up sixth in the feature event, Macedo needed to keep his mount up front to tabulate a many point as possible to put himself in a good position for Saturday night’s finale.

Taking the green flag from sixth, Macedo was able to do just that as he worked his way into the Top-5 and finished fifth. With his finish and his point total, the Lemoore, CA driver rebounded well enough to be on the front row of a Saturday night heat race.

Starting on the outside front row of his heat, Macedo had hopes of getting the jump to lock into the Dash, but on this night the track was not kind to any of the outside starters.

Finishing third in his heat, Macedo was safely in the $102,626.26 to win feature event, but he took the green flag from the 13th starting position.

On a very even track, passing proved to be tricky with the top and the bottom both being extremely good. Spending much of the night battling to get into the Top-10, Macedo saw his West Coast High Limit Racing swing come to a close with an 11th place finish.

“Aside from Thursday night and not getting qualified well, I thought we raced well at Skagit,” Macedo said. “Overall, I thought we raced pretty well everywhere and that is a big credit to Drew and the guys, as well as the Tarlton family for providing us with really good equipment that can compete and run with the best around. We are all excited to see what we can do with the World of Outlaws this week.”

Tarlton Motorsports would like to thank Tarlton and Son Inc., Complete Parts & Equipment Solutions, Executive Auto Sales, Durst, Tarlton Estate and Asset Management, Bandy and Associates, FK Shocks, FK Rod Ends, Willwood Brakes, Vortex Wings, and High Performance Lubricants for their support.

BY THE NUMBERS: Races: 45, Wins: 4, Top 5’s: 25, Top 10’s: 29.

ON TAP: Macedo now will battle the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series as they come to the Golden State. Friday night Macedo will be in action at Stockton Dirt Track, before heading to Hanford, CA on Saturday night for the Tom Tarlton Classic.

Hartmann charges ahead, banks top 10 at The Hill

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) September 4, 2024 – Austin Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing Team completed a two-race weekend of Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Cars competition with both speed and consistency tucked firmly in their back pocket after a pair of forward-moving showings at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, Aug. 31 and The Hill Raceway in Sturgeon Bay, Wis. on Sunday, Sept. 1.

With a large Sheboygan County Fair Night crowd looking on, Hartmann kicked off the doubleheader weekend with a 19th place qualifying effort in the 27-car field based on a lap of 12.768 around the Plymouth, Wis. driver’s home track.

The fifth-year Sprint Car competitor started and finished seventh in the first eight-lap IRA heat race before starting third and placing fifth in the 12-lap IRA B-main to gain a transfer position to the evening’s 25-lap main event.

Despite being mired in the 23rd starting spot, the 2020 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association Rookie of the Year Award winner negotiated his way through two cautions and a red flag period to charge up eight spots and tally a 15th place finish in a race won by Joel Myers Jr.

One night later, the 87A racing team made the trek north to Sturgeon Bay for the first-ever IRA 410 Sprint Car event at The Hill Raceway.

Before a near-capacity crowd, Hartmann took an immediate liking to the slightly banked third-mile clay oval ripping off the sixth fastest qualifying lap in the 21-car field with a tour of the track in 12.667 seconds.

After starting and finishing third in the third eight-lap IRA heat race, Hartmann advanced to the IRA dash for the sixth time during the 2024 season. A fifth place showing in the first IRA dash gave Hartmann the ninth starting spot in the 30-lap main event.

The A-main saw Hartmann mix it up at the front of the field throughout the event. He pulled off several key passes along the low groove of the smooth and slick racing surface to come home with a sixth place showing behind race winner Joel Myers Jr.

The strong sixth place result marked the seventh top 10 A-main finish of the 2024 campaign for the 87A Hartmann Racing Team.

Throughout the two-race weekend, Hartmann advanced his 87A car 11 positions in A-main action.

“We felt like we had a good recovery going from a rough start to the night at Plymouth until the tires sealed over on a late race red in the A,” Hartmann said. “Coming into Sunday at The Hill, we didn’t know what to expect. It turned out to be a great night. We were a few spots short of a top five, but it was still a strong run. We’ll keep building on this momentum and work toward moving up a couple more spots this coming weekend.”

Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing team are set to head north and west for a big weekend of Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series action starting Friday, Sept. 6 at Gondik Law Speedway in Superior, Wis. for the annual Northern Nationals.

The WISSOTA Late Models, Modifieds, Super Stocks and Midwest Mods will also be on the card.

Spectator gates open at 3 p.m. and hot laps are scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. with racing underway at 6 p.m.

On Saturday, Sept. 7, the 87A Hartmann Racing team will travel to Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. for the prestigious 24th annual Jerry Richert Memorial.

The all-Sprint Car program will also feature the Midwest Power Series 360 Sprint Cars, Traditional Sprint Cars and 600cc Winged Micro Sprints.

Hot laps are scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. with racing at 6 p.m.

All Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series events can be viewed via live streaming at Floracing.com.

The 2024 87A Hartmann Racing team consists of Eric Bergschultz, Ian Schultz, Karlee Hartmann, Andrew Shufflebotham and Kristine Hartmann.

Arenz duels for IRA win finishes runner-up at Plymouth

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) September 4, 2024 – After claiming his first and, so far, only Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series A-main victory last season at a track he knows better than any other, Travis Arenz came oh so close to racking 410 main event victory No. 2 with a large Sheboygan County Fair crowd on hand to spur on the home track driver Saturday, Aug. 31 at The Plymouth Dirt Track.

Arenz opened the night by qualifying 14th in the 27-car IRA field with a lap of 12.552 seconds. He then moved up three spots to place second from the fifth starting position in the second IRA heat race to advance to the 30-lap headliner.

The 2021 and 2022 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car champion started 11th in the main event and moved up quickly utilizing the high and low lines around the smooth, wide and multi-groove racing surface.

The Sheboygan Falls, Wis. driver worked his way into the top five on lap 12 and moved into second on lap 18 before tracking down race leader Joel Myers Jr. in heavy lapped traffic to steal the lead on lap 21 just before a red flag appeared on the following lap for Shelby Bosie’s flip.

The 17th-year driver held the lead on the restart and paced the field for the next four laps before Myers Jr. regained the lead with a slide job on lap 26. Arenz had to settle for second and his fourth top five showing of the 2024 IRA season.
“Our night at Plymouth didn’t start off the best but we have definitely had worse,” Arenz said. “Starting outside of the top 10, I knew if I wanted any chance of winning, I needed to set the car up to run where I needed, find the fastest lane and make smart moves. Unfortunately, lap traffic killed my momentum with a few laps to go and I gave up the lead. It was a fun battle and I’m happy to bring home a strong podium finish.”
Arenz’s fortunes weren’t nearly as good in the IRA’s debut appearance at The Hill Raceway in Sturgeon Bay, Wis. on Sunday, Sept. 1.

He opened the night with a solid second place qualifying with a lap of 12.427 seconds before moving up from fourth to second in the second IRA heat race to earn a spot in the dash for the eighth time during the 2024 campaign.

After improving from fourth to third in the four-lap IRA dash, Arenz fired off from the sixth starting spot in the 30-lap main event.

Arenz’s luck went sour on lap 3 when he flipped his 25T machine in turn four while battling with Jake Blackhurst. With little visible damage, Arenz retreated to the work area and managed to return to the race at the rear of the field with a taped-up top wing, which had taken the brunt of the damage during the flip.

Following the restart, Arenz advanced quickly from 19th to 12th on lap 15 before the sideboard of the wing collapsed, which severely impeded the handling of his car. He held on the rest of the way to post a 16th place showing as Joel Myers completed the weekend sweep.

“At The Hill, we qualified well and felt good in the early part of the night,” Arenz said. “We had a good starting position in the A, but I made an error and ended up rolling the car. The damage to the top wing and other parts definitely made the car a handful and caused a bit further damage to some front-end components, but we survived the race. We also found some frame damage. However, we are still hoping to compete in Superior and Cedar Lake this weekend.”

The Travis Arenz 25T Motorsports Team continues to seek crew members to assist the team. Those interested can send a direct message to Travis through the Travis Arenz Motorsports Facebook page.

The Travis Arenz Motorsports team is set to head north and west for a doubleheader weekend of Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series competition starting Friday, Sept. 6 at Gondik Law Speedway in Superior, Wis. for the annual Northern Nationals.

Hagar Captures Podium Result for Three Different Car Owners

Inside Line Promotions - ELDON, Mo. (Sept. 4, 2024) - Derek Hagar guided three different race cars to podium performances last weekend.

Hagar swept the 305ci winged sprint car portion of the show at Crowleys Ridge Raceway in Paragould, Ark., on Friday in a McCord Farms sprint car.

"We had a really good car all night long," he said. "We won the heat race and took the lead on the initial start of the feature and never looked back. I was able to run the top in turns one and two up on the dirt wall. It really helped me launch off the corner and hit the bottom in turns three and four. We got to lapped traffic and I had to start moving around. I figured out the middle worked pretty good for me in turns three and four and I was still able to run the top in turns one and two."

Hagar also hopped in a 600cc micro sprint that night for Marshall Skinner Motorsports, winning a heat race and placing second in the main event.

"It was fun," he said. "We won the heat race and started outside pole in the feature. Jackson (Skinner) got by me on the first lap. He and the guy on the pole were side by side the whole race. Jackson finally cleared him and ran the best race I've seen him run. A 12-year-old kid with me behind him, I figured he'd start overdriving the car, but he didn't. I gave it all I had to get around him and just couldn't make it happen."

Hagar then climbed aboard the Paul Hart owned 410ci winged sprint car on Saturday and Sunday at Lake Ozark Speedway, which hosted a POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint Series doubleheader. He qualified 20 th quickest before rallying from seventh to fourth place in a heat race on Saturday to lock into the main event. Hagar capped the night by charging from 12 th to second place in the A Main, marking the second-most cars passed.

"We drew the highest pill and went out last in qualifying," he said. "We were still trying to learn the car. The heat race came around and we made some changes. We charged our way forward three spots. The cushion was really treacherous. I made my mind up I was running the middle to the bottom in the feature. I started picking cars off left and right. The double-file restarts were key for us. I picked the outside every time even if I gave up a position because I could get a really good launch up top coming off turn four. We worked our way up to second."

The weekend concluded with another rally on Sunday. After timing in 14 th quickest and ending fifth in a heat race, Hagar maneuvered from 16 th to sixth in the feature. The 10 positions gained were the most and earned the Hard Charger Award.

"There really wasn't passing in the heat races," he said. "I made the bottom work good at the start of the feature. Once I got up to sixth the track started rubbering up by Lap 8 or 9. It was follow the leader for the rest of the race."

Hagar plans to return to action this Saturday at Farmington Empire Speedway in Farmington, Mo., during the 27 th annual Queens Royal and Terry Babb Tribute.

ESS Point Battle Heats Up Heading to Can-Am, Weedsport

By Curtis Berleue (LaFargeville, NY) | With just four full-point events remaining on the 2024 Empire Super Sprints calendar, the battle at the top of the point standings is as alive as ever. With another doubleheader weekend on tap at the Can-Am and Weedsport Speedways, drivers have two more chances at making headway in the final stretch of the season.

Since early July, two time and defending champion Jordan Poirier has been atop the standings, though recently early season points leader Jason Barney has climbed back into the second spot. With 1830 points, Poirier holds a 111-point lead over Barney with 1719 points. With a strong podium finish this past Saturday at Fulton, Barney was able to gain ground on Poirier, who had a 132-point cushion before the weekend began.

Davie Franek currently sits third in points with 1651, Matt Tanner is fourth with 1564 and Billy VanInwegen rounds out the top five with 1441.

The most recent Empire Super Sprints winner at Can-Am is Billy VanInwegen who was victorious when the tour visited last month on August second. Jordan Poirier has also been strong at Can-Am, finishing third back in August and picking up the win at the speedway as part of last years CNY Speedweek. Saturdays stop at the LaFargeville, NY oval will be critical for both drivers in the standings race.

As the tour moves south to Weedsport on Sunday, it’s anyone’s guess as to how the points standings will be affected. Only one driver currently in the top five in points has a victory at the 3/8-mile oval, Jason Barney, though his victory came just over nine years ago in August of 2015.

More information on this weekends events including gate times and prices, along with an order of events can be found on either tracks social media pages, along with the Empire Super Sprints social media pages.

Newlin Getting 410 Program Sorted Out, Wins Labor Day Warrior Award

Port Royal, PA – September 5, 2024

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Starting a 410 sprint car program is not an easy task for anyone but it is an especially challenging effort for a family team stretching every dollar to make it happen.

After numerous highly successful years in the 305 sprint car ranks followed by quick success in the 358 division as well in his family-owned No.11z, Zach Newlin dabbled in the 410 ranks at the wheel of equipment other than his own for a couple years. While there were some highlights in those limited outings, those rides didn’t seem to be the right fit.

In 2023 Newlin and his family decided to resurrect the family-owned team and take it to the 410 sprint car level.
QUICK RESULTS

DATE: September 2, 2024

Class: 410 Sprint Cars
Location: Port Royal Speedway, Port Royal, PA
Stats: 40 cars, Group Qualifying 6th, Heat 6th (8), B-main 9th (10)

PERSISTENCE

Newlin’s 2024 debut was delayed until June. He came into it knowing he was down on horsepower compared to most of his competition but he needed to hit the track to start working out the bugs and building a notebook. It takes time to build a 410 sprint car program and you can’t do it in the shop.

His first five outings of this season were a struggle. The team battled a mystery power issue that would creep up mid-race. The frustration reached unwanted levels.

Doubts briefly crept into Newlin’s mind. Did he belong here? Was it worth it?

The short answer to both: yes.

Newlin and team kept digging and finally got to the bottom of the issue. When Port Royal Speedway’s Labor Day Classic hit the clay on Monday afternoon, he timed 6th quick in his group, right in the thick of the regulars.

An 8th place finish in his heat race on the tough daytime surface put Newlin in the B-main where he raced to a 9th place finish from the 10th starting spot in his Ron’s RV Sales, Butler Hill Maple Farm, Tuscarora Roofing Co., Dillman Hauling, Wintergreen Window Cleaning, Christine Booher, Safety-Kleen, Strange Oval, Walker Performance Filtration, Newlin Bar Service, The Podium Awards, Nesbit Innovations, Deimler Chiropractic and Your Dry Basement No.11z

Statistically it wasn’t a day to write home about but for this small team it was a hurdle cleared. Now the process of tuning their car’s handling can finally begin in earnest.

To help broaden the smiles in the team’s pit after the race, Newlin was selected as the winner of the J&S Classics Warrior Award. The prize, awarded to the driver who finishes in the position of the pill that is drawn, is presented courtesy of Sandy Kline.

While all of this has been playing out over the past couple months, Newlin has had a bigger engine being rebuilt as time and funds allowed. That powerplant is nearly ready, so that award money will come in very handy to help keep this team progressing toward being a weekly competitor.

“I can’t thank Sandy (Kline) enough for putting up this award money and for everything she does for the sport. All of us in the pit area appreciate her.”, Newlin said.

“I want to thank my mom, my dad, and my entire family for everything they do to help this team exist. We knew this wouldn’t be easy. We’re going to keep working hard to build a competitive 410 team.”

“We wouldn’t be able to do this without the support of our partners. I want to say thanks to them all and I hope everyone will go out and support those folks who support us.”

UP NEXT

Tentatively, the next race for Newlin in the 11z is September 21st at BAPS Motor Speedway. Other options are under consideration. Stay tuned to Zach Newlin Racing on Facebook and Twitter for schedule updates!

Newlin has three 358 sprint car races remaining in the Mansberger Motorsports No.21m, all of which are at Williams Grove Speedway on September 13th, 20th and 21st.

Kyle Reinhardt Reels Off Third Straight Top Ten
Abbottstown, PA – September 3, 2024

What was supposed to be a three-race holiday weekend in Central PA for Kyle Reinhardt, quickly turned into a single event on Sunday night thanks to Mother Nature’s unwelcome visit to the region on a traditionally big Labor Day weekend of racing.

Reinhardt made the most of the night, snagging his third consecutive top-ten finish.

The Neptune City, NJ native is building momentum at an opportune time as several big events sit on the horizon.
QUICK RESULTS

DATE: September 1, 2024

Event: Labor Day Duels / Kevin Gobrecht Memorial
Division: 410 Sprint Cars
Location: Lincoln Speedway, Abbottstown, PA
Stats: 31 cars, Qualifying 8th, Heat 2nd (2), A-main 6th (8)

KEEP IT ROLLIN'

Reinhardt was the 21st car to hit the track for qualifying Sunday evening in the 31-car field. A late slot is often difficult for teams to overcome as track conditions decline, but the Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers, Coors Banquet Beer, E-Z-GO Golf Cars, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.91 was up to the task, registering the 8th quickest lap overall.

From his front-row starting spot in heat race number two, Reinhardt challenged polesitter Troy Wagaman Jr. at the drop of the green. He followed in the runner-up spot, working to chase down the leader, but ultimately settled for the 2nd place finish.

Reinhardt started outside the 4th row in the 40-lap A-main but couldn’t find a rhythm during the opening laps and slipped back to the 10th position.

As the race neared the halfway mark, Reinhardt gained momentum and started to move forward, taking over the 8th position on lap twenty-two. Ten laps later he took possession of 6th and held a firm grasp on it to the checkers to collect his third consecutive top-ten finish.

“I’m very happy with our speed right now. Timing good the last few weeks and competing for top-fives is a great jump from where we were the last few months.”, Reinhardt commented. “We are looking to keep carrying the momentum through the rest of the season.”
UP NEXT

The three-night, High Limit Racing Sanctioned Tuscarora 50 event is next up for Reinhardt. He and his team will sign in at Port Royal Speedway on September 5th, 6th, and 7th for the 57th annual edition of the lucrative race.

On both Thursday and Friday, the 410 sprint cars will race for $10,000 and Saturday’s finale will pay $57,000 to the victor.

Mallett Extends Top-Five Streak With Pair of Podiums in Alabama

Inside Line Promotions - EASTABOGA, Ala. (Sept. 3, 2024) - Jordon Mallett drove to a pair of podiums last weekend during a USCS Series doubleheader in Alabama.

The strong showing gives him six straight top fives and seven podiums in his last nine races.

"It was another solid weekend," he said. "We've been putting ourselves in a good spot. We podiumed each night, but there was more to be desired."

The weekend began on Saturday when Mallett made his debut at Buckshot Speedway in Clanton. He advanced from fifth to third place in a heat race. That lined him up on the outside of the fourth row in the main event. Mallett advanced to a third-place result, which was his 10 th top five of the season. It also garnered the Hard Charger Award for passing the most cars.

"Things didn't quite go in our favor and we clawed our way onto the podium," he said. "We had a poor draw in the wrong heat race and didn't get to make the dash. That put us a long way back in the feature. We spent too much time trying to move forward instead of starting toward the front. It took too long to get through the cars and toward the front. We had more if we could have just started up there. Passing was definitely at a premium."

The weekend wrapped up on Sunday at Talladega Short Track, where a heat race win from the third starting position moved Mallett into the dash. However, because of time constraints, the dash was cancelled and Mallett pulled the No. 2 pill to start the main event on the outside of the front row.

"We unloaded a really good race car and had a good draw and a good heat race," he said. "We were second highest in points and they actually scrapped the dash because we had been in a rain delay earlier in the night. The track was super racy in our heat races, but by the time we got to the feature the inside line took off a whole lot better than the outside. The track wasn't conducive to passing and we just weren't quite good enough to get by the leader. They were going to have to make a mistake for us to get there and we never got into thick traffic where it broke the momentum, but you can't hang your head on a weekend with a pair of podiums."

Mallett's second-place result was his eighth podium outing of the season.

He is taking this weekend off before joining the ASCS National Tour Sept. 13-14 at Arrowhead Speedway in Colcord, Okla., during the Green Country 50.

QUICK RESULTS -

Aug. 31 - Buckshot Speedway in Clanton, Ala. - Heat race: 3 (5); Feature: 3 (8).

Sept. 1 - Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, Ala. - Heat race: 1 (3); Feature: 2 (2).

Dover Tackling Nebraska Tripleheader This Weekend

Inside Line Promotions - SPRINGFIELD, Neb. (Sept. 3, 2024) - Jack Dover has a three-race weekend in his home state of Nebraska on deck.

Dover will compete in his No. 53 winged sprint car this Friday at Beatrice Speedway in Beatrice during the 2 nd annual Sprint Car Challenge. He will then head to Thayer County Speedway in Deshler on Saturday before racing on Sunday at Eagle Raceway in Eagle during the Stewart Alley Memorial.

"I'm really excited," he said. "It's local and a lot of our close fans get to see us race. Also, we've had this car out nine times and it's been in the top three eight times so I'm excited to get it out for three races close to home this weekend."

Dover is a perfect 2-for-2 in starts at Beatrice Speedway, where he won a 305ci winged sprint car race in 2016 and he captured a 360ci winged sprint car victory last year.

Starks Wins First Two High Limit Racing Starts of His Career

Inside Line Promotions - ELMA, Wash. (Sept. 3, 2024) - Trey Starks produced the most fruitful national week in the Northwest of his career.

The Washington native won his first two Kubota High Limit Racing starts last Wednesday at Grays Harbor Raceway and Thursday at Skagit Speedway before he capped the Sage Fruit Skagit Nationals with results of 25 th and seventh, respectively. He then wrapped up the weekend with a runner-up result in a 360ci winged sprint car show at Grays Harbor Raceway on Sunday.

"Everything about it other than the DNF on Friday because of a part failure was great," he said. "We knew that we could do it and have good runs if we were in the right position and that's exactly what happened on Wednesday and Thursday. We had enough speed to capitalize on it.

"We had good speed and made good decisions. You're not going to just be way better and expect to win. You're also not going to have pure luck. You have to have speed on top of it. We had that both nights and it showed all the work we put in throughout the season and the last couple of years paid off.

"The way it worked out I don't know if you could have scripted it. I hadn't been in the car for a couple of weeks going into a race against the best guys in the world. To be able to pull it off and beat them. To have my son there was cool. We didn't even plan on him being there, but at the last minute they came. His first race his dad won a national touring event, it's something that we'll have forever. Then to go the next night and back it up makes it even sweeter. And to win at both of my home tracks, I don't even know if there's words to describe."

The busy week began last Wednesday with Starks qualifying sixth quickest at Grays Harbor Raceway. He then won a heat race, the dash and the main event from the pole position during his first race since his son, Rowan, was born.

"We were strong and qualified well on a track that was going away," he said. "Winning the heat and the dash helped. At Grays Harbor, having the knowledge of running there and knowing how the track responds to the work they do when the sun goes down, helped. I knew that the track was going to go a certain way and that helped us out in the feature."

Starks was just as strong the ensuing night at Skagit Speedway in Alger, Wash., where he kicked off the Sage Fruit Skagit Nationals with the 14 th quickest qualifying time. A run from third to win a heat race put him on the outside of the front row in the main event and Starks capitalized.

"We qualified not as good as we wanted to, but we made some points up in the heat race," he said. "That put us in a good position for the invert and we took advantage of our front row starting spot. We had to wrestle the lead on the opening lap and had to navigate lapped traffic and hold off some hard charges from guys like (Shane) Golobic and (Justin) Sanders."

Starks timed in second quickest and he hustled from sixth to second place in a heat race on Friday to climb into the high-point position. Unfortunately, a part failure in the rear end while he was running inside the top 10 during the main event relegated him to a DNF.

Starks won a heat race and was seventh in the dash to open Saturday's event finale. He maintained a top-10 position throughout the main event before ending seventh.

"In the feature the track did something nobody expected it to do," he said. "It looked wide to start, but narrowed up. It threw everybody for a loop. We just weren't able to get going. I think it's a different story if we could have started toward the front. We were fighting for the same spot on the track everybody else was. I would say we took what the race track gave us."

The weekend concluded on Sunday with a local show at Grays Harbor Raceway, where he was second quickest in qualifying. Starks advanced from fourth to win a heat race and he moved from fourth to second place in the A Main.

"That place had a lot of grip to it and was pretty narrow," he said. "We got to second and placed chase the whole time. We had six or seven cautions so we didn't get into traffic a lot. Coming to the checkered off turn four we got into traffic and we were basically side by side coming to the line. The way the race played out it didn't give a ton of opportunity, but we were fast. I felt pretty good even though we ran second."

Starks returns to action this Saturday at Skagit Speedway, where he leads the 360ci winged sprint car championship standings by 14 points.

Aug. 28 - Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma, Wash. - Qualifying: 6; Heat race: 1 (1); Dash: 1 (1); Feature: 1 (1).

Saturday Night Runner Up Highlights Legends of Placerville Weekend for Tony Gomes

PETERSEN MEDIA- Competing at the Annual Nor*Cal Posse Shootout that also played host the legends of years gone by at Placerville Speedway over the Labor Day Weekend, Tony Gomes picked up a second place finish on Saturday night before closing the weekend out with a 10th place effort on Sunday.

“It was a really good weekend for our team, and it’s always a fun and unique event to run with no points in mind,” Tony Gomes said. “Saturday, we had a good race with Willie Croft, and congrats to him on the win, and Sunday we just kind of got stuck in a battle from 6th-10th, and ended up 10th when it was all said and done”

With qualifying being split into two sessions on Saturday night, Gomes timed in third fastest in his group which placed him on the pole of his heat race. Racing to a heat race win, Gomes locked himself into the feature event, but it also qualified the Lund Construction/Anrak/Sam Rhodes backed No. 7C for the six-lap dash.

Finishing fifth in the Dash, the Modesto, CA driver was locked into the fifth starting position for the 30-lap feature event. When the race came to life Gomes jumped into fifth before moving into fourth on the race’s fourth lap.

Continuing to move forward, Gomes worked into third on the 10th lap, and then when the leader had issues on lap 12, he found himself in second on alongside Willie Croft on the ensuing restart.

Once in second, Gomes chased after Croft and really turned up the pressure as they got into traffic. Having a shot to make a move for the lead in the race’s closing laps the yellow flag flew, and impeded Gomes’ progress.

Back underway, Gomes simply settled in at rode the night out with a hard fought second place finish.

Returning to action on Sunday night to conclude to two-night show, Gomes timed in 11th fastest in qualifying time trials and again found himself on the front row of his heat race. Needing the win to get into the Dash, Gomes slipped to second on the start.

Chasing after Tanner Carrick, Gomes locked into the feature with his second place finish but found himself back in the 10th starting spot for the 35-lap affair.

From the fifth row starting position, Gomes found himself in hard fought battles all race long as he battled between sixth and 10th on the slick surface during the finale. Racing hard, Gomes couldn’t quite create any separation from the middle of the field as he searched lap after lap.

When the 35-lapper drew to a close, Gomes closed his weekend out with a 10th place finish.

“10th wasn’t what we had in mind for Sunday after a good run on Saturday but we had a fast car and we are all excited for these final two point races,” Gomes added. “A big thank you to Cody, Bobby, and John for all of their hard work, and again I am so thankful to be a part of Cody and Mandi’s race team. It is great to have two great people behind me.”

ON TAP: C&M Motorsports and Tony Gomes return to point racing at Placerville Speedway on Saturday night.

BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-14, Wins-1, Top 5’s-5, Top 10’s-12

Andy Forsberg Turns Attention Back to Point Championship Following Nor*Cal Posse Shootout

PETERSEN MEDIA: Returning to Placerville Speedway over the weekend for the Legends Weekend Nor*Cal Posse Shootout, Andy Forsberg didn’t have the greatest weekend on track as he now turns his attention to Placerville Speedway’s final two points races of the season in what is a very close championship title fight.

“It wasn’t the best weekend for us of the season, but it wasn’t for lack of effort,” Andy Forsberg said. “We worked and tried a lot of different things but the track was pretty slick which isn’t my cup of tea, and we got caught up in a couple messes on Sunday and actually got kicked off the track.”

Timing in fifth fastest in his qualifying flight on Saturday night to open the weekend, a third place finish in his heat race locked Forsberg into the Dash as the fast qualifier in the heat race did not transfer.

Finishing eighth in the Dash, the Auburn, CA driver lined the Meridian Cameras/Pacific Highway Rentals/Oroville Tax backed No. 92 up in the fourth row for the 30-lap feature event.

Running into some issues in the early goings of the feature event, Forsberg slipped back to 14th on the 4th lap. Falling back as far as 15th, he was able to climb back to 12th by the halfway point of the race.

Stuck back just outside of the Top-10, Forsberg battled btween 12th and 13th for the final half of the race. When the checkered flag was displayed to the field, Forsberg closed Saturday night out with a 13th place finish.

Making some overnight changes and going to a different car and win on Sunday night, Forsberg to the finale kicked off by timing in 18th fastest in qualifying time trials.

Finishing fourth in his heat race, Forsberg locked into the feature event where he took the green flag from the outside of the eighth row. Able to pick up quite a few spots in the opening stanzas of the feature, Forsberg quickly found himself in the Top 10.

That was all for not just two laps later as a multi car tangle left Forsberg stalled out and facing the wrong direction as the yellow was needed.

Restarting from 19th, Forsberg was able to pick up a couple of spots in the back of the pack as he worked into 15th with just 10-laps left in the race.

Running on the slick surface, another multi car melee broke out, but with Forsberg the only one to come to a stop he was charged with his second stoppage and sent to his trailer.

“It was just a tricky weekend for us as a team, but it was a great weekend for the fan in me,” Andy Forsberg said. “Placerville Rick Hirt does a great job with the Legends Cars and to see them every year and see what this event his turning into is really cool.”

BY THE NUMBERS: Races-37, Wins-4, Top 5’s-18, Top 10’s-24

ON TAP: Forsberg is slated to return to Placerville Speedway on Saturday night.

JONESTOWN, Pa. (September 3, 2024) – Brock Zearfoss and Brock Zearfoss Racing made the most of their three-day campaign at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, South Dakota, not only achieving better and better results as the weekend progressed, but ultimately closing out the $100,000-to-win finale on September 1 with a 12th-place score – maintaining his place midpack after starting from the inside of row six.

Scotty Thiel and Team 73 display perseverance in wild weekend at Plymouth and The Hill; Gondik and Cedar Lake next
ByTyler Altmeyer
Sep 3, 2024

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (September 3, 2024) – Nonetheless, it was a wild weekend in the Badger State for “Big Wheel” Scotty Thiel and Team 73, continuing their quest for an IRA Outlaw Sprint Series championship with visits to the Plymouth Dirt Track and The Hill Raceway on Saturday and Sunday, August 31 and September 1. Although falling short of victory, the Sheboygan, Wisconsin, native was close, closing out their Labor Day Weekend double with back-to-back top-fives, all of which highlighted with a runner-up score at The Hill short track on Sunday, September 1.

Thiel, ace of the Team 73, Gibbsville Cheese, Professional Plating Inc, Ludwig & Sons Trucking, Total Restoration Services, Scott Thiel Builders, Lift Pro, Schmidts Landscaping, Complete Water, Iron Buffalo Saloon, GRP Motorsports, Lake Home Retreats, Elliott Family, Diamond Pools, No. 73 sprint car, started 11th in his eventual runner-up pursuit, forced to start deep after contact with an infield tire during qualifying set him back.

Just one night prior at the Plymouth Dirt Track, Big Wheel finished fourth, but not without a little chaos. The IRA championship point leader led early from the outside-pole position, but a hiccup in traffic resulting in an eventual spin sent Thiel to the back of the running order. He would eventually recover, but chances for a fourth triumph were cut significantly.

“Just one of those weekends. If we would have kept ourselves in a little less trouble, I think we could have been in contention to win both events. But that’s how it goes,” Thiel mentioned. “Excited for our upcoming visits to Gondik Law and Cedar Lake. The IRA season is coming to a close quickly…we want that championship.”

ON DECK:
Scotty Thiel and Team 73 will resume IRA Outlaw Sprint Series action at Gondik Law Speedway and Cedar Lake Speedway on Friday and Saturday, September 6-7.

(September 3, 2024) – An extended weekend meant an extended schedule for Doney-Lawson Racing (DLR) and the Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars, and although night one of their three-day agenda was ultimately ruined by Mother Nature (a Friday visit to I-35 Speedway in Winston, Missouri), the next two days at Lake Ozark Speedway in Eldon, Missouri, raced on undisturbed and action-packed.

Doney-Lawson Racing, piloted by Xavier Doney and Natalie Doney, orchestrated three separate starts in each night of Lake Ozark’s “Triple Sprint Showdown” on Saturday and Sunday, August 31 and September 1; Xavier Doney entering the POWRi 410 and WAR non-wing portions of the program, with his younger sister Natalie also competing in the 410 ranks. When the dust finally settled on Sunday night, the DLR team out of Odessa, Missouri, found themselves with a stack of accomplishments, all of which highlighted with Xavier’s drive to a podium finish in Sunday’s WAR non-wing feature event; he started ninth.

Additional highlights for Xavier Doney, ace of the Schnee-Lawson Chassis, Motor Haven, Design Source Flooring, Able Group, Schaeffer’s Lubricants, Speedway Motors, No. 74 sprinter, included finishing 12th in the POWRi 410 main event on Sunday, as well as finishing seventh in Saturday’s WAR main event.

Although Natalie Doney was unable to qualify for Saturday’s POWRi 410 program, she redeemed herself to the full extent on Sunday, not only maintaining confidence and persistence, but was ultimately scored 21st. The young lady out of Odessa, who owns a recent top-ten finish in 305ci competition at Valley Speedway in Grain Valley, Missouri, finished eighth in her respective heat race to launch the Lake Ozark weekend finale.

RECENT HIGHLIGHTS:
Xavier Doney finished sixth during USAC National Sprint Cars competition at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Friday, May 31. Qualified for the Rayce Rudeen Foundation Race finale at I-70 Speedway in Odessa, Missouri, on Saturday, June 8; he was scored 21st.

Wilson on the move at Attica; Upcoming weekend agenda still TBD
ByTyler Altmeyer
Sep 3, 2024

BENTON RIDGE, Ohio (September 3, 2024) – Greg Wilson and Greg Wilson Racing were forced to do things the hard way in their Attica Raceway Park “Attica Ambush” appearance on Friday, August 30, and despite their not-so-stellar starting position at mid-pack, commencing the FAST Series program from 14th on the grid, the team’s end result was fantastic, climbing to their 14th top-five of the season in a runner-up performance.

The Benton Ridge, Ohio, native and recent IRA Outlaw Sprint Series winner at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wisconsin, launched preliminary action with the 16th-fastest qualifying time of 31 entries, racing on to finish fourth in his respective heat race.

Unfortunately, Saturday’s Attica Ambush finale was canceled due to heavy rain. In addition, Wilson was short of qualifying for Sunday’s Pete Jacobs Memorial at Wayne County Speedway.

“Hate to whine…I was pissed the way the track was all night and it made a fool out of me. It slicked off so that you could move around and thank goodness my wife and my girls and Nick Daugherty worked hard and I didn’t feel like it was right to give up,” Wilson, ace of the Hercules Tires, Ohio Logistics Warehousing & Transportation, DNC Hydraulics, No. W20 sprint car, said of Attica Friday. “Can’t thank Attica Raceway Park and the fans enough. This place is really cool and when you run good you know you’ve done something. The guys that run here have gotten really, really good over the last couple of years.”

ON DECK:
Greg Wilson and Greg Wilson Racing will continue their 2024 campaign with a Saturday visit to Atomic Speedway or Sharon Speedway on September 7 – a decision will be made later in the week.

TKS Motorsports and Hunter Schuerenberg set aim on the Keystone State
ByTyler Altmeyer
Sep 3, 2024

MITCHELLVILLE, Iowa (September 3, 2024) – It was a hard-fought weekend in South Dakota for TKS Motorsports and recently hired ace, Hunter Schuerenberg, battling the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series in the three-day Huset’s Hustle and High Bank Nationals on August 30 through September 1. The Huset’s programs were intended to be contested in late June, but Mother Nature – mixed with severe flooding – ended the program short.

Despite falling shy of the end goal, highlighting their three-day affair with a 15th-place score in the $100,000-to-win weekend finale on September 1, the Mitchellville, Iowa-based team had plenty to show for, leading the first four circuits in Saturday’s effort before contact ended their night on lap 28. The team was battling for a top-five at the time of the contact and they were ultimately scored 23rd.

With their weekend at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, South Dakota, officially complete, TKS Motorsports and “Hunter Percent” will now turn their attention east, set to battle High Limit Racing in a major trio in the Keystone State beginning Thursday, September 5.

Dubbed Tuscarora 50 Weekend, the three-day program will cap with a 50-lap, $57,000-to-win finale on Saturday, September 7 – one of the most sought after prizes in sprint car racing.

“In all, happy with our efforts at Huset’s Speedway. We’re still growing as a team, obviously, and it’s going to take some time, but Hunter is adjusting well and we’re ready to head east and try again,” Troy Renfro, owner of the TKS Motorsports, Iowa Barnstormers, Des Moines Industrial Products, Jersey Freeze Ice Cream, No. 2KS sprint car, said. “Pennsylvania is a special place, not only for racers, but for fans. We’re excited to give it a go.”

ON DECK:
TKS Motorsports and Hunter Schuerenberg will continue their 2024 campaign with Port Royal (Pa.) Speedway’s coveted Tuscarora 50, sanctioned by High Limit Racing, on Thursday through Saturday, September 5-7. Saturday’s finale will award $57,000-to-win.

Andrews battles through Attica Ambush; AFCS championship weekend on deck

By Fully Injected Motorsports:

SANDUSKY, Ohio (September 3, 2024) – Despite Mother Nature stepping in and ruining all plans for night two of the annual Attica Ambush at Attica Raceway Park in Attica, Ohio, night one went on as scheduled, and for Chris Andrews and Chris Andrews Racing, the evening was respectable, concluding the $6,000-to-win FAST Series program with a 12th-place score, just short of attaining his seventh top-ten of the season.

A sound preliminary effort, Andrews, ace of his own Ohio Truck Sales, OTS Truck Centers, Fleet Capital, Cintas, Kenworth of Cleveland, Toledo Spring, NAPA Fremont Auto Parts, No. 15C sprint car, launched the Attica Ambush/FAST Series program with the second-fastest qualifying time, racing on to finish second in his respective heat race. The Sandusky, Ohio, native is certainly no stranger to sound efforts at the Attica short track, earning a top-five – finishing fifth officially – just one weekend prior.

“We were really hoping to get a second try on Saturday, but the weather didn’t give us much hope,” Andrews was quick to note. “We’ll get another try on Friday. The season is closing down in a hurry, that’s for sure.”

ON DECK: Chris Andrews and Chris Andrews Racing will continue their 2024 campaign with the AFCS Championship Series finale at Attica Raceway Park and Fremont Speedway on Friday and Saturday, September 6-7.

As noted, the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series will now turn their attention to the West Coast, spending three consecutive weekends in sunny California before wrapping things up at Tulare’s Thunderbowl Raceway on Saturday, September 21.

Kaleb Johnson Strong Early During World of Outlaws Tripleheader at Huset's Speedway

Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (Sept. 2, 2024) - Kaleb Johnson has a lot of positives to take out of a three-race World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series weekend at Huset's Speedway.

Johnson qualified inside the heat race inversion and won a heat race each of the first two nights. He also finished inside the top 20 in the main event during the Huset's Hustle presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking on Friday and the BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by MENARDS on Saturday and Sunday.

"I feel like we had good speed, but not the results we were hoping for," he said. "We were good in clean air, but struggled in dirty air. We had good speed early, but I'm bummed we couldn't get a little better finishes."

Johnson qualified eighth quickest in his group on both Friday and Saturday to garner the pole position in a heat race. He took advantage to win the heat race each night to advance into the main event.

"It's a little bit of a boost of confidence, especially compared to years past when we hadn't been able to do that," he said. "To have speed and be able to race with them is a good feeling. We just need to get better at finishing the whole night."

Johnson placed 20 th on Friday and 17 th on Saturday. He finished fourth in a heat race and 19 th in the A Main on Sunday.

"We changed a bunch of stuff after Saturday and then I wrecked the nose wing on the first lap so we didn't get a good test," he said. "It was on the right rear all weekend, which is something I haven't been used to at Huset's. There's a lot of positives from the weekend and a lot we learned so it was a good weekend overall."

Johnson's final scheduled race in his sprint car this season is this Saturday at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis., during the 24 th annual Jerry Richert Memorial with the Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Series. He will then drive for Dennis Gainey on Sunday at Eagle Raceway in Eagle, Neb., during the Stewart Alley Memorial with the Gunderson Racing Inc. Midwest Sprint Touring Series 360 Sprint Cars.

Estenson Improves Throughout World of Outlaws Weekend at Huset's Speedway

Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (Sept. 2, 2024) - Tim Estenson made a vast improvement throughout the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series tripleheader at Huset's Speedway last weekend.

Estenson's night ended in the C Main on Friday during the Huset's Hustle presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking. He advanced into the Last Chance Showdown on Saturday during the preliminary night for the BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by MENARDS before making the A Main on Sunday during the event finale.

"Each night we got better," he said. "Jack (Dover) got me better each time we hit the track all weekend."

Estenson qualified 20 th quickest in his group before advancing from 10 th to ninth place in a heat race and from fourth to third place in the C Main on Friday.

On Saturday, Estenson timed in 12 th quickest in his group. He placed sixth in a heat race to miss advancing into the feature by only one spot. The night ended with a seventh-place result in the Last Chance Showdown.

"We qualified a little better," he said. "The track was green with it being heavy so you took what you could get in the heat race. I had a really good starting spot in the Last Chance Showdown, but I got a little throttle happy on the start and ended up not getting a good start. I got freight trained early and that was my fault."

Estenson saved his best for last as he powered from seventh to fourth place in a heat race on Sunday to lock into the main event.

"I felt pretty good in hot laps and Jack got me better for the heat race," he said. "Every time we hit the track all weekend I felt more comfortable and was making better laps. I think we got into sixth and caught a gift when Tim Kaeding got crossed up. We were able to stay in it and get around (Emerson) Axsom for fourth. We were able to make the show, which out of all the races on the weekend it was the most important one to make."

Estenson capped the night by placing 18 th in the A Main.

"I was maintaining at least a quarter of the race," he said. "I just wanted to make good laps. For being in the show and improving throughout the weekend, I'm happy with the outcome of the final night."

Estenson is taking this weekend off before returning to action Sept. 14 at Shelby County Speedway in Harlan, Iowa, with the Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars. He is the current points leader heading into that season finale.

QUICK RESULTS -

Aug. 30 - Huset's Speedway in Brandon, S.D. - Qualifying: 20; Heat race: 9 (10); C Main: 3 (4).

Aug. 31 - Huset's Speedway in Brandon, S.D. - Qualifying: 12; Heat race: 6 (6); B Main: 7 (2).

KEEN JOINS COWARA MOTORSPORT
THE Cowara Motorsport team is delighted to announce Michael Keen as their new driver for
the 2024-25 season in the 410 Sprintcar ranks.
Over the past two decades the Cowara Motorsport team, which based in Cowaramup in
Western Australia and owned by Steve and Sharron Duggan, has had some of country’s best
racers in the likes of Ryan Farrell, Cameron Gessner, Ken Sartori, Darren Mollenoyux and
Chace Karpenko as well as American Kaley Gharst, steer the WA # 41 car, and the latest
addition to this driver line-up is 410 Sprintcar rookie Michael Keen. Despite having no 410
Sprintcar experience, the 28-year-old from Bunbury has over a decade of experience in both
Limited and 360 Sprintcar competition with a lot of success and making the next career step
into 410 Sprintcar racing is certainly an exciting prospect for the upcoming 2024-25 season.
“To say that I’m excited about teaming up with a young driver like Michael would be quite
the understatement,” expressed Cowara Motorsport’s Steve Duggan.
“Michael (Keen) brings with him a lot of experience in the lower ranks of Sprintcars, and I’ve
been keeping an eye on him over the years, so I feel that the time is right to give him a shot
at 410 Sprintcar racing.”
The Cowara Motorsport team has enjoyed its fair share of success over the years in Western
Australia, which includes multiple SEG Series wins, numerous blue-ribbon event successes
and even a top 10 finish in the Grand Annual Classic on the east coast, but the Duggan and
Keen combination have set realistic goals heading into their first season together.
“The upcoming season here in Western Australia is set to be one of the biggest ever,
especially with High Limit Racing coming to Australia, and we have committed to doing the
entire Maddington Toyota Series with Michael,” said Duggan.
“With it being Michael’s first season in 410 Sprintcars, we are just wanting to get him as
comfortable as possible and get him up to speed, as we know Michael is a talented driver
and we have every bit of faith in him finding his feet and becoming more competitive with
each outing.”
As one would expect, Keen is excited about taking the next step in his Sprintcar career with

DOUBLE DUTY FOR SEXTON GATLIN RACING THIS WEEKEND AT KERN AND SANTA MARIA

(Lakeside, CA, August 29, 2024) Sexton Gatlin Racing returns to action on Labor Day Weekend when it races in two different series at two different tracks within 24 hours. First will be the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series’ Bob Vermeer/Narcie Ferreira Classic on Saturday night at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway. Twenty-four hours later, team drivers Brent Sexton and his 20-year-old son Grant will take on the Ultimate Sprint Car Series presented by Inland Rigging at the Santa Maria Speedway.

Saturday’s race will be the second for SGR at Kern. Last year, during his Rookie of the Year campaign, Grant appeared with USAC/CRA and placed 12th in the main on April 29th. For 52-year-old Brent, who is trying to win the series Rookie of the Year award this season, it will be his maiden voyage at the track that is located adjacent to the 5 Freeway.

Brent enters Saturday’s show third in the USAC Rookie of the Year standings and 13th in the overall season-long championship points with 11 races remaining on the schedule. Grant’s sophomore season in the 20-year-old series has not gone how he had hoped. He has been caught in the wrong place at the wrong time too often and has been caught up in others' mistakes. His best series outing thus far was a sixth at Perris Auto Speedway on June 22nd. He goes into this week’s battle at Kern 15th in USAC Series points.

Grant’s season has gone much better with the USCS. In four starts, he has been in the top five two times and in the top 10 three times. His best finish came at Ventura on June 1st when he came in third on the 1/5 mile oval. Two weeks before that, he placed fifth on “The West’s Fastest 1/3 Mile Banked Clay Oval,” Scott Schweitzer’s Bakersfield Speedway. His other top 10 in the USCS came when he took the checkered flag in seventh at Ventura.

Brent has made a pair of main events in the USCS, with the best finish being 10th at Ventura on June 1st. In his last race in the series at Ventura in July, he was passing for the last transfer in the B main on the final lap when the red flag came out. Officials deemed the race complete at that point, and Brent missed the transfer to the A main by one position.

Heading into the USCS’ final appearance at Santa Maria in 2024, Grant sits 11th in the series standings, and Brent is 21st.

If you want to see the father and son team square off against the West Coast’s best this weekend at Kern and Santa Maria, the Bob Vermeer – Narcie Ferreira Classic kicks things off Saturday at Kern. Adult tickets are $25.00. For kids 6-12, admission is $10.00. Advance tickets are available from the track’s website at https://www.kernraceway.com/. The grandstands will open at 5:00 p.m. and cars will be on the track at 5:30. The first race will take the green flag at 7:00. The track is located at 13500 Raceway Boulevard in Bakersfield, California. The office phone number and email are (661) 835-1264 and mailto:info@kernraceway.com.

On Sunday night at the famous 60-year-old Santa Maria Speedway, adult tickets for the USCS show are $25.00. Seniors and military get in for $23.00. Kids 6-12 are only $5.00, and children 5 and under are free. Gates will open at 4:00 p.m., with qualifying at 5:00 and racing at 6:00. The Santa Maria Speedway is located at 1900 Hutton Road in Nipomo. The track website is https://santamariaspeedway.net/.

Sexton Gatlin Racing would like to thank the following companies for making the 2024 season possible. East County Electric Works, Keys Brothers, BR Motorsports, Maxima Oil, Automated Interiors, Sexton Fire Protection, BK Wings, Troy Dirt.

INAUGURAL NATIONAL PAVEMENT SPRINT CAR RANKINGS ANNOUNCED

Pavement sprint car statistician and social media outlet Pavement Pounders manager David Sink today announced the inaugural results and current rankings of the recently announced National Pavement Sprint Car Rankings.

Sink announced his intention to create a pavement sprint car rankings system last week based on points rather than averages due to fewer events pavement sprint car drivers compete in versus their dirt counterparts.

“I toyed around with a number of different formulas before finally settling on the current formula” explained Sink. “Basically, you get points for every top 3 showing you achieve. The more races you run the more chances to accumulate points. The tougher the series you compete in the more points you can accumulate.”

Sink announced the formula and point break down late last week.

“My formula awards drivers points who finish in the top 3 at most races regardless of what series it is. Each track, series, or event will be placed in one of 5 groups.”

Group #1 will be the top group and includes the premier races in our sport. The Little 500, Open Wheel Showdown, and Pink Lady Classic. The top 3 drivers will receive 8-5-3 points.

Group #2 will include USAC Silver Crown pavement, Must See Racing, 500 Sprint Car Tour, Colorado National Sprints, War of the Wings event, Children’s Dream Fund 50 event, and both Dave Steele championship events. The top 3 in this group will receive 5-4-3.

Group #3 will include the Granite Super Sprints, Southern Sprint Car Shootout Series, Northwest Sprint Tour, Speed Tour, and Empire Super Sprints. The top 3 in this group will receive 2-1-1/2.

Group #4 will include Inland Winged Sprints, NCMA, MSR Lights, CAN-AM Sprints, Tri-State Sprints, Pepsi Crates, and Virginia Sprint Series. The top 3 in this group will receive 1-1/2-1/2.

Group #5 will include Showtime Sprints, Agassiz Sprints, and Saratoga Speedway Sprints. The top 3 in this group will receive ½-0-0.

"Based on the outcome of the inaugural rankings, I’m extremely pleased” stated Sink. “I believe this formula works based on several factors. It can be altered in future years based on car counts and number of total events. I know I can’t please everyone, but we must remember, at the end of the day it’s just fun. Just like the dirt world, us pavement guys now have a rankings system to see how drivers stack up against one another throughout the season.

The top 20 will be announced every 1-2 weeks throughout the summer months. In the Winter months the rankings will be announced monthly. Drivers ranked outside the top 20 and the full list can be found here in the coming days https://www.facebook.com/PavementPoundrs. A website with the full list available daily will be launched soon.

Paul Nienhiser Notches Ninth Win of Season with MOWA in Macon, IL

PETERSEN MEDIA: Returning to Macon, IL on Saturday night to battle with MOWA, Paul Nienhiser turned in a strong showing in the feature event to score his first win at the bullring since the 2017 season, and bump his 2024 win count up to nine.

“It’s been a great year for us in my car as well as in Scott Bonar’s car,” Paul Nienhiser said. “Saturday night we scored our ninth win of the year and our second consecutive dating back to Peoria, IL our last time out in the 50,”

Drawing a high number for his heat race starting position, Nienhiser was admittedly a little worried he wouldn’t be able to make a ton of spots up with the track heavy and fast early in the night.

Throwing caution to the win, Nienhiser had his elbows up in the CAM2 Lubricants/Midland Performance Inc./MB Heating and Cooling Inc. backed No. 9x entry. Flexing his muscle around the tight confines of the Macon Speedway, Nienhiser worked to a third-place finish and snuck into the redraw as the seventh highest point earner of the night.

Pulling the four, Nienhiser was set to go to work from the outside of the second row on a track that had taken shape as the night moved along. The race’s initial start saw Nienhiser make a swift move through turns one and two to grab the race lead, but the move was negated by a crash and the field was re-racked.

After a couple of more incidents to hamper the start of the race, Nienhiser eventually settled into second as the green finally was able to stay out. With the track a little on the dirty side in the early goings of the race following some pre-feature work, once the top cleaned up, he was able to get his right rear on the boards and power to the lead as he was the cross flags on lap 12.

Quite literally banging the boards out front, Nienhiser would cause a bit of damage to his right rear and it made finding grip on the tight confines tricky in the race’s closing laps.

In the final laps of the race, Nienhiser felt pressure from Jake Neuman who was using the bottom lane, and with his car a bit wounded he moved down to protect for the final laps and held on to score the win.

“I felt good, but once I got into the wall, it threw something off and I felt like I was just hanging on,” Nienhiser said. “I saw Neuman poke his noser under me, so I moved down and just got really conservative to grab the win. It wasn’t my best performance at Macon, but there have been plenty of other times we have been really good and not grabbed the win, so I will take it.”

Nienhiser would like to thank CAM2 Lubricants, Midland Performance Inc., MB Heating & Cooling Inc., Buffalo Wild Wings, T&K Tree Services, Morrow Brothers Ford Inc., American Rental Center, Signature Signs, The Auringer Family, Matt Bradshaw, Wessler Bros. Agency Inc., Haverfield Construction-Concrete, Dropped Mobile, Mason Sound, AB&C Moving, Maverick Corn Herbicide, Maxim Racing, Engler Machine and Tool, Rider Racing Engines, Simpson Race Products, and Super Shox for their support.

Nienhiser would also like to thank Heartland Trailer Manufacturing, Rockstar Wraps, Kinney Racing Engines, and Stronghurst Collision Center for their support of Scott Bonar’s No. 50 car.

BY THE NUMBERS: Races-21, Wins-9, Top 5’s-14, Top 10’s-17

ON TAP: Nienhiser has a light weekend on tap as he will be at home on Friday night for weekly action at Jacksonville Speedway.

Placerville Speedway hosts two nights of Sprint Car racing Labor Day Weekend

By Gary Thomas

Placerville, CA…One of the biggest double headers of the Placerville Speedway season converges this Saturday and Sunday, when Russell Motorsports Inc. showcases the $8,000-to-win Nor*Cal Posse Shootout/ Legends Weekend presented by Berco Redwood.

The Labor Day weekend event is the only two-night Winged 360 Sprint Car show of the season at Placerville Speedway and has provided no shortage of thrills over the last handful of years.

The Winged 360 Sprint Car portion of the event this Saturday August 31st will hand out $5,000-to-win, while Sunday’s finale on September 1st dishes out a solid $8,000-to-win.

Sharing the stage each night with the Winged 360s will be the High Sierra West Coast Wingless Shootout for Spec Sprints. Opening night will offer $2,000-to-win/ $200-to-start, while the finale pays out a stout $5,000-to-win/ $300-to-start.

The Nor*Cal Posse Shootout presented by Berco Redwood is entering its seventh edition at the high-banked quarter mile. Previous winners include Cory Eliason, Sean Becker, Rico Abreu, Shane Golobic, Tanner Carrick and Michael Faccinto, who snagged last year’s opening night before the finale fell victim to rain.

Special trophies are being produced and the winner on Sunday will also go home with a commemorative belt buckle that has become a staple at the event.

“The Nor*Cal Posse Shootout presented by Berco Redwood is an event that we continue to try and build each season,” commented Placerville Speedway Promoter Scott Russell. “I know that we’d like to see it become one of the marquee shows in Northern California. We’ve had some great racing all year and should be in for a can’t miss weekend at the shootout.”

The double header will also showcase the rich history of Placerville Speedway like everyone has come to love during Legends Night. The event had become so popular however, that it’s now coined as Legends Night(s) “The Epic Double.”
Several names from the days gone by will be in attendance with numerous vintage cars on display. The restored machines will also take some laps on the red clay for old times’ sake.

“As always we want to send a huge thank you to Rick Hirst for everything he does in restoring these old race cars and gathering the legendary names for the event,” Russell said. “It’s always a special night and now it’s going to be a memorable weekend.”

A NIGHT OF GOOD AND BAD FOR FLOWDYNAMICS AT PERRIS, LOGAN WILLIAMS RACES THIS SATURDAY AT KERN

(Ontario, CA, August 26, 2024) The last time the Flow Dynamics Racing Team hit the track at Perris Auto Speedway in the inaugural Brother Brett Classic, it was a mixed bag of highs and lows for drivers Logan Williams and Matt McCarthy. This Saturday night, August 31st, Williams heads north to Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway in Bakersfield for round #13 of the 23-race Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series season.

Things started bright enough for the Flowdynamics duo at Perris. On the night that included the Brother Brett Trophy Dash with a purse of more than $4000 for the four fastest qualifiers, McCarthy and Williams qualified third and fourth quickest in the 20-car field. McCarthy, who calls Riverside, California home, turned in the third best time of the meeting when he toured the famous Riverside County oval in 16.866. Teammate Williams was just a tick behind at 16.959.

The Brother Brett Dash was different from the normal racing trophy dash. It was contested Speedway Motorcycle style with four separate three-lap races. Each driver started in every starting position once. Each race paid three points to the winner, two points for the second-place finisher, one point for third, and zero to the driver who finished fourth. After the fourth race, the points were added up and that determined the finishing order of the dash.

McCarthy, who dominated the dash a few years prior, was in contention for the win until the last three lapper. He scored eight points over the four races and finished second, just two points behind the winner. Williams notched four points and placed third.

Williams, who came into the night third in USAC/CRA points, started fifth in the first 10-lap heat race. The 28-year-old who lives in Yorba Linda, California, drove forward to third to guarantee his spot in the first three rows in the main event. McCarthy entered the field of battle two heats later and started sixth in his 10-lapper. He advanced to second and earned a spot in the first three rows of the upcoming 30-lap A main.

For the main, the Flowdynamics team drivers started side by side in row two. Williams was on the inside, and McCarthy was to his right. Williams battled in the top three spots early on, with McCarthy not far behind. Williams actually took second on lap two before slipping back to third.

At the 10-lap mark, Williams was third, and McCarthy was sixth. Five laps later, at the halfway point, Williams was fifth, and McCarthy was seventh. However, things were about to change.

Going into turn three on the 21st circuit, McCarthy, who was running eighth, caught a piece of the inside berm going into turn three. The contact sent him into a violent series of flips that did not end until he got into the turn-four crash wall. The track crew was quickly on the scene and put out a small fire on the bottom of the car. Fortunately, McCarthy, who was battered and bruised in the crash, climbed out under his own power. The next day, he took a precautionary trip to the ER. Except for a concussion and some aches and pains, he checked out okay.

After the race restarted, Williams crossed the finish line sixth, giving him ten top-10 finishes in 12 starts this year.

Williams will close the month of August this Saturday, the 31st, in the Bob Vermeer & Narcie Ferreira Classic at Kern. Going into the race, he is fourth in the championship chase, just eight points out of third. The likable racer recorded his season's best finish while racing at Kern in June. He started the main event in ninth and drove up to second.

For fans wanting to see Williams in action Saturday at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway, adult tickets are $25.00. For kids 6-12 it is only $10.00. Children 5 and under are free. Advance tickets are available from the track’s website at https://www.kernraceway.com/. Hot laps will begin at 5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. The track is located at 13500 Raceway Boulevard in Bakersfield, California. The office phone number and email are (661) 835-1264 mailto:info@kernraceway.com.

If you or your company would like to be a part of one of the West Coast’s most prominent sprint car teams in the 2024 season, please contact John McCarthy at 909 930-5522 or john@flodyinc.com.

Joel Myers Jr Charges to 3rd at Macon

PETERSEN MEDIA: Climbing back aboard the Hayward Motorsports No. 19 entry on Saturday night, Joel Myers Jr and company traveled to Macon, IL where they battled with the MOWA and picked up a third place finish.

“It was a really fun track, and we had good speed all night,” Joel Myers Jr said. “I took the green from ninth and had gotten up to third but I made a mistake and spun out. Fortunately, we had a really good car and I was able to rip the top of the speedway and fight back to third where we ended up finishing.”

The MOWA format utilizes a heat-race draw opposed to qualifying, so after the draw Myers lined the SHITI Cooler/Eddie Gilstrap Motors backed No. 19 up in the third row of his heat race.

From the sixth starting position, the Sebastopol, CA driver took a liking to the short confines of the Macon Speedway as he was able to slice and dice his way through the field. Working his way up to a third-place finish, Myers Jr was locked into the feature where he took the green flag from the ninth starting position.

Moving into the feature event, Myers Jr took the green from the fifth row for the 25-lapper and quickly began working his way forward.

Jumping into seventh on the second lap, Myers Jr was into the Top-5 on the seventh lap as he moved into fourth. In the action packed race, move into third on the ninth lap, but a miscue on the 11th lap saw him bring his entry to a stop after losing the handle.

Restarting from the rear of the lead lap cars, Myers Jr did not shy away from the high side of the speedway as he put his right-rear up on the on the cushion and worked his way back forward again.

Running the track like a seasoned veteran despite it being his first ever appearance at the Illinois facility, Myers Jr was back on the podium as he took the checkered flag with a third place finish.

“I am extremely happy with how things have progressed each time we are out in this Hayward Motorsports car,” Joel Myers Jr said. “I am extremely thankful to Brodie Hayward and his family for the opportunity as well as to all of the great sponsors that support us.”

Joel Myers Jr and Hayward Motorsports would like to thank Shiti Coolers, Eddie Gilstap Motors, Byrd Racing, RPM Chassis, Factory Kahne Shocks, and Al Parker Engines for their continued support.

BY THE NUMBERS: Starts- 40, Wins-8, Top-5’s- 15, Top-10’s-21

ON TAP: Joel Myers Jr and Hayward Motorsports will be at Bloomington Speedway Friday, Plymouth Dirt Track Saturday and The Hill Speedway on Sunday.

Tony Gomes Garners Top-10 During 360ci Portion of Gold Cup

PETERSEN MEDIA- Opening the 70th Gold Cup Race of Champions on Wednesday night in Chico, CA, a robust 50 cars made the call for the popular and when the fireworks concluded Gomes capped the night off with a 10th place finish.

“Wednesday night to open Gold Cup is always an electric night and a fun race to be a part of,” Tony Gomes said. “We rolled out a fresh car and we had good speed all night long which was a great thing with a full pit area.”

Kicking the night off in time trials, Gomes timed the Lund Construction/Anrak/Sam Rhodes backed No. 7C entry in seventh fastest in his qualifying flight which lined him up in the second row of his eight-lap heat race.

Starting and finishing third, the Modesto, CA driver was securely locked into the 30-lap feature event as he found himself 12th on the starting grid.

Biding his time from his mid-pack starting position, Gomes was able to work his way into 10th by the race’s halfway point once things got into a rhythm. Continuing to work, he was able to get himself into seventh in the closing laps of the feature event and was in a battle for a possible top-five.

Looking for a way forward, Gomes got put in a precarious spot that forced him to possibly get into a wreck or drive off the end of the track. Opting for the ladder, Gomes got up over the edge of the track in the final laps of the race and slipped back to 10th.

Keeping his mount inside the Top-10, Gomes took the checkered in 10th for his 11th Top-10 of the season with C&M Motorsports in what was the teams 13th start of the season.

“We were much better than a 10th place car, but late in the race I got over the edge in a battle rather than forcing an issue for sixth and it cost us a few positions,” Gomes said. “I want thank Bobby, Jason, and Cody for all of their hard work in the pits, and Cody and Mandi for continuing to let me drive their car. Looking forward to a big weekend in Placerville with some extra money up for grabs.”

ON TAP: C&M Motorsports and Tony Gomes are scheduled for a Placerville Speedway doubleheader this Saturday and Sunday.

BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-12, Wins-1, Top 5’s-4, Top 10’s-10

Justin Sanders Scores Gold Cup Wednesday Night Win with Dale Miller Motorsports

PETERSEN MEDIA- After a couple of races being shut out of victory lane, Justin Sanders and Dale Miller Motorsports found themselves in familiar territory at Silver Dollar Speedway on Wednesday night as Sanders opened the 70th Gold Cup Race of Champions with a hard fought victory.

“We had a really fun race with Kyle Larson going, and its fun to race with him,” Justin Sanders said. “It is great to get this car back in victory lane, and to do it during the Gold Cup makes it that much more special.”

With 50 cars checked into Silver Dollar Speedway on Wednesday night, Sanders got his week kicked off by timing the Anrak/Thompson’s Family of Dealerships/North County Plastering backed No. 4SA in third fastest in his qualifying flight.

Lining up on the front row of his heat race, the Aromas, CA driver got the jump when the green lights flashed and he pulled away in convincing fashion. Picking up the win, Sanders locked into the Dash where the two put him on the front row of the six lap shootout.

Running second in the Dash to Larson, Sanders found himself in a great spot for the feature as he took the green flag from the outside of the front row.

When the race came to life, Sanders briefly drifted back to third until he raced into second on the race’s fifth lap. In second, the pursuit of Larson began as Larson looked to keep his personal win streak alive.

As the battle heated up late in the race, the duo battled through traffic and close quarters racing resulted in Larson getting out of shape and getting off the racing surface as Sanders took command of the race.

Leading the final six-laps of the race, Sanders was able to park in victory lane for the sixth time in 10 tries with Dale Miller Motorsports in 20224.

“I am thankful for Dale and Tara Miller, and all of the great people that support the No. 4SA car,” Sanders added. “Also, a big thank you to everyone who helped us in the pit area all night long on Wednesday night.”

The Dale Miller Motorsports team would like to thank Anrak, Thompson’s Family of Dealerships, North County Plastering, Triple X Race Co., Dale Miller Septic Inc., Smith Titanium, Frank’s Body Shop, Fisher Racing Engines, Walker Performance Filtration, ADCO Custom Driveline and Exhaust, Hair by Lovleen, Factory Kahne Shocks, Vortex Wings, TJ Forged Wheels, FK Rod Ends, King Racing Products, and A.R.T. Speed Equipment for their support.

BY THE NUMBERS: Starts- 10, Wins- 6, Top-5’s-10, Top-10’s-10

ON TAP: Dale Miller Motorsports and Justin Sanders next event is TBD.

Post returns to PDTR-MSA field, mechanical gremlins linger

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 27, 2024 – After a month-long absence from Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing – Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car competition, Randy Post returned to the seat of the Randy Post Racing No. 54 machine at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Friday, Aug. 23 with hopes of building off a career-best sixth place A-main showing in his most recent PDTR appearance on Saturday, July 20.

After suffering motor issues, which prevented him from turning a competitive lap in an MSA event in his most recent outing at the Dodge County Fairgrounds Speedway in Beaver Dam, Wis. on Friday, July 26, Post had been out of action for three consecutive weekends before getting back at it on Aug. 23.

The third-year PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car campaigner opened the night by qualifying 20th overall in the 29-car field with a 13.194-second tour of the 74-year-old third-mile clay oval.

From there, Post lined up seventh and came home seventh in the first eight-lap PDTR-MSA heat race, which put him in the 12-lap B-main needing a top six finish to lock into the 25-lap PDTR-MSA main event.

Post rolled off sixth in the 12-lap PDTR MSA B main and was holding his own in the sixth position until the halfway point when he was forced to retire from the race due to a throttle linkage issue. The night came to an early end for the Oostburg, Wis. driver with an 11th place B-main finish.

“The beginning of the night was a little weird because we had some issues originally that I had fixed, but we never started the car again to make sure that was the issue,” Post said. “In qualifying, I was more worried about watching the temperature and listening to the motor to make sure it was running well while knowing we were in a stacked heat and starting in the back. I just wanted to try to move up as far as we could since I knew our chances of making it into the feature through the heat were very slim.

“The car was handling very well in the B-main and we were holding the transfer spot,” Post said. “Then the throttle linkage broke, ending our night. That’s fixed now and we will work on our regular maintenance this week to be better for my favorite race night of the year during the Sheboygan County Fair.”

The Randy Post Racing Team is set to compete in an Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing – Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car event, along with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Cars, during the 2024 Sheboygan County Fair at Sheboygan County Fair Park in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, Aug. 31.

On-track action is scheduled to commence at 5 p.m.

Alex Pokorski scores top five Plymouth-MSA run, Fair Night race on tap

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 27, 2024 – With the final laps of the 2024 season in sight, Alex Pokorski and the Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team crew strung together a strong top five A-main showing in a 25-lap Plymouth Dirt Track Racing – Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car main event Friday, Aug. 23 at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis.

The West Bend, Wis. competitor opened the night by qualifying eighth in the 29-car PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car Association field.

After starting second in the first eight-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car heat race, Pokorski came home third to earn a berth in the 25-lap headliner.

The 2023 PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car Most Improved Award winner fired off from the outside front row starting spot in the 25-lap main event and fell back to fourth in the early going before being cycled back to fifth near the halfway point of the event.

Following a red flag and two yellow flags, Pokorski utilized the third and final caution flag restart to bolt past T.J. Smith into fourth on lap 20. Pokorski maintained the fourth spot the rest of the way in a race won by Scotty Thiel.

“We had a fuel leak issue in qualifying, which we fixed for the heat race,” Pokorski said. “Following the heat race, we tuned up the fuel some more for the feature to get it right, along with some other adjustments to the car. The track was very nice again, which made for good racing. We lost a spot on the first two restarts by being in the wrong lane. We then got one spot back on the final restart when we started in the preferred lane. It was a solid night, just not what we needed to close up points on the guys ahead of us in the point standings.”

With two races remaining in the 2024 PDTR 360 Sprint Car season, Pokorski stands second, 34 points behind point leader Ben Schmidt in the chase for the season points title.

Pokorski also sits third in the MSA 360 Sprint Car point standings, 34 points behind second-place Brandon Berth and 85 behind point leader Ben Schmidt with three races left in the 2024 MSA campaign.

The Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team is set to compete in an Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing – Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car event, along with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Cars, during the 2024 Sheboygan County Fair at Sheboygan County Fair Park in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, Aug. 31.

Labor Day Triple Header on the Horizon for Empire Super Sprints

By Curtis Berleue (Brewerton, NY) | After a busy month of August, the Empire Super Sprints are ready to close out August and bring in September with a Labor Day weekend triple header. Starting on Friday, August 30 at the Brewerton Speedway, moving to the Fulton Speedway the following night and rounding out the weekend at the Utica-Rome Speedway on Sunday, September 1, the tour will have three straight nights of action with each night paying $2,000 to the winner.

In two previous stops this season at the track dubbed the ‘D-Shaped Dirt Demon’, Danny Varin and Jason Barney have found Brewerton Speedway victory lane. Varin’s Don Gillette Memorial victory was his sixth win overall at the Speedway, tying Mal Lane for most ESS wins at the track. Barney’s win was just his sixth at his hometown track, and first since May of 2019.

The tour has also visited the Fulton Speedway twice thus far in 2024, with Jason Barney opening the 2024 season with a victory back in April – his fourth in two years at Fulton. Davie Frank also picked up a win at Fulton in July, scoring his second of three tour victories so far in 2024.

Keeping with the theme of two visits thus far in 2024, two main events have also been held at Utica-Rome to this point in the season. NASCAR Truck Series competitor Stewart Friesen scored the win at Utica-Rome’s CNY Speedweek stop on July 4, while less than two weeks ago Billy VanInwegen picked up $5,000 at the Vernon, NY oval in the Cole Cup.

With the season starting to wind down as the temperatures start to drop into early fall, two time and defending tour champion Jordan Poirier still sits atop the points standings with 1684 points, now starting to pull away from second place Davie Franek after his victory this past weekend in Quebec. Franek is 132 points behind Poirier with 1552, and Jason Barney sits third with 1543 points, just nine points behind Franek.

For a full listing of gate times, admission prices and a nightly schedule of events for each race this weekend, be sure to visit each tracks social media pages and website, along with the Empire Super Sprints social media pages as they will be posted when available.

The ESS Road Ahead:

Friday, August 30 – Brewerton Speedway - Brewerton, NY ($2,000 to Win)

Saturday, August 31 – Fulton Speedway – Fulton, NY ($2,000 to Win)

Sunday, September 1 – Utica Rome Speedway – Vernon, NY ($2,000 to Win)

Mallett Heading to Alabama for USCS Series Doubleheader This Weekend

Inside Line Promotions - GREENBRIAR, Ark. (Aug. 27, 2024) - Jordon Mallett is bound for Alabama this weekend for a pair of USCS Series shows.

The action begins on Saturday at Buckshot Speedway in Clanton followed by a race at Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga on Sunday.

"We have high expectations because I'm in a good mental place," he said. "If I don't have high expectations of being a contender than I don't need to be there. I feel we're a contender and we hold ourselves to that standard. If we do our job right we should be able to compete up front."

Saturday will mark his debut at Buckshot Speedway. Mallett last raced at Talladega Short Track in April 2022 when he finished seventh. He placed third at the track in 2020 and was victorious there in 2018.

"I always love going to new places," he said. "I'm ready to see this place. We've raced all around Alabama, but that's one track we haven't been to so we're eager to see it. And Talladega is a place I typically enjoy going to. We've had some success there. I haven't got a chance to go there since they put a wall up around turns one and two so it's been even more of a desire to go there."

Mallett had planned on racing last Saturday at Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Ark.

"We were on our way to the track and ended up having issues with our generator not working," he said. "It was a problem we couldn't fix remotely so we had to sacrifice racing that night. I'm really glad it happened when it did and not this weekend in Alabama or somewhere else hours away from home. It was a blessing in disguise."

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Salvage Two Top 10s in North Dakota

Inside Line Promotions - WEST FARGO, N.D. (Aug. 27, 2024) - Big Game Motorsports posted a pair of top-10 results in North Dakota last weekend.

David Gravel opened the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series doubleheader on Friday by qualifying second quickest at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks. He placed second in a heat race to advance into the dash. A seventh-place result lined him up on the inside of the fourth row in the main event.

"We had a good start in the dash and biked up and fell to the back," he said. "I was able to get back to seventh. The track stayed pretty wet all night long. We were okay on the green flag runs (in the feature), but the restarts weren't good for us and we had quite a bit of restarts."

Gravel spent the majority of the feature duking it out just outside of the top five before he ended sixth for his 45 th top-10 outing of the season.

The team headed to Red River Valley Speedway on Saturday. Misfortune struck early as a part broke while Gravel attempted his qualifying run. The car got upside down before Gravel was able to complete a lap. That lined him up at the back of a heat race, but a run from ninth to fourth place locked Gravel into the 12 th starting position in the A Main. He continued to march forward in the feature, picking up a handful of positions to finish eighth.

"The big thing was getting through the heat race to set ourselves up," he said. "I'm a little disappointed in our finish in the feature, but we had the car pretty banged up and weren't able to get it back to 100 percent. We salvaged an acceptable finish."

Gravel owns a 110-point lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings heading into a three-race weekend at Huset's Speedway in Brandon, S.D. It begins on Friday with the Huset's Hustle presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking with the $100,000-to-win BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by MENARDS running Saturday and Sunday.

"I'm looking forward to racing at Huset's in front of our sponsors and people who support us," he said. "They are non-points races so we're going to go in there with an open mind and try to get some money."

Aug. 23 - River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D. - Qualifying: 2; Heat race: 2 (1); Dash: 7 (6); Feature: 6 (7).

Starks Excited for Big Week of High Limit Action in Washington

Inside Line Promotions - PUYALLUP, Wash. (Aug. 27, 2024) - Trey Starks has four straight nights of Kubota High Limit Racing on tap in his home state of Washington this week.

The action begins on Wednesday at Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma before Skagit Speedway in Alger hosts the Sage Fruit Skagit Nationals Thursday through Saturday. The event finale pays more than $100,000 to win, making it the highest-paying race on the West Coast this year.

"It's a huge week," he said. "In my opinion it's our biggest week of the year. I'm excited to get back to the track at two different tracks and for so many nights in a row."

Starks has been strong at both tracks this season. He won his lone 360ci winged sprint car start there and placed third during his only 410ci winged sprint car race at the track.

"I think it might change up the dynamic of this weekend with Elma being first," he said. "It used to be you'd race three hard nights at Skagit and then go to Elma the next night for a 360 show. Elma is a fun track so we're excited to start it there. With four straight nights of High Limit Racing it's going to be intense, but it's going to be exciting."

Starks is the leading feature winner in the 410 sprint car division at Skagit Speedway, where he has produced a trio of victories and six top fives - also a division best. His team leads the championship standings at the high-banked oval.

"I feel really good about this weekend," he said. "We had Dominic (Scelzi) in the car a couple of weeks ago. I think it gave the guys a different perspective to see how he was feeling and I think that will help us with our notebook. With a couple of weeks off I feel as fresh as I've been. I'm excited to hit it hard for those three nights. I think we can run up front. We'll have to be on it from the start."

Labor Day Weekend concludes on Sunday with a 360ci winged sprint car event at Grays Harbor Raceway, making it five straight nights of racing for Starks.

SEASON STATS -

20 races, 9 wins, 15 top fives, 16 top 10s, 18 top 15s, 19 top 20s

Hagar Returns to Victory Lane at Riverside International Speedway

Inside Line Promotions - WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. (Aug. 27, 2024) - Derek Hagar scored his seventh feature victory of the season last Saturday when he did double duty at Riverside International Speedway.

Hagar guided a McCord Farms 305ci winged sprint car to Victory Lane and he produced a third-place finish in his 360ci winged sprint car.

"It was an entertaining night," he said.

Hagar advanced from sixth to fourth place in the 305 heat race before charging from eighth to win the main event. The seven positions gained were the second most.

"We didn't get a good pill draw and we only passed two cars in the heat race," he said. "They don't do passing points so that made us start eighth in the feature. We couldn't get anywhere and we stalled out in fourth. We had a restart and I got up to third. First and second were racing each other pretty hard. It made it to where I could get to them. I slid for second. Then on the last lap the leader followed a lapped car into turn three. That killed his speed enough where I could make a move to slide both him and the lapper."

Hagar was stout in his race car as well, winning a heat race from the outside of the front row. He then maneuvered from fifth to third place in the main event.

"I thought I had enough points to be in the top two rows, but there was enough passing in other heats it put us fifth for the feature," he said. "I was pretty tight the whole race. I couldn't really maneuver like I wanted to and it was hard to pass cars for me. We were able to get up to third. I tried to dive under Aiden Gatewood going into turn three around midway. He turned down to hit the bottom and I bumped him and spun myself out. There wasn't a caution and we fell to seventh or eighth. We drove back up to third. Without that incident or with another caution or two I felt I had a car that could have contended for the win."

Hagar has recorded 11 podium results in his last 13 sprint car starts.

Hagar is slated to drive a McCord Farms entry this Friday at Crowleys Ridge Raceway in Paragould, Ark., before racing for Paul Hart on Saturday and Sunday at Lake Ozark Speedway in Eldon, Mo., with the POWRi 410 Bandit Outlaw Sprint Series.

"It's going to be exciting," Hagar said. "I'm anxious to see how this new engine will be compared to our competition. I'm looking forward to it and our expectations are high. I hope we can go out there and make the car owner proud."

Aug. 24 - Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Ark. (360 sprint car) - Heat race: 1 (2); Feature: 3 (5).

MUST SEE RACING SET TO CELEBRATE LABOR DAY WEEKEND WITH OWOSSO VISIT

August 28, 2024 - Holly, Michigan - The Must See Racing Sprint Series Presented by Perfit-Parts will be racing for a total purse of $18,175 when they make their second and final appearance of the year at Owosso Speedway in Ovid, Michigan this Saturday night August 31. The MSR National Series presented by Perfit will be joined by the Maxima Racing Oils Midwest Lights for a double header winged sprint car treat.

Saturday's event will pay $4000 to win and Must See Racing today announced a $500 Fast Time bonus will be up for grabs. This is welcome news for Joe Liguori who has set fast time on multiple occasions in 2024. Rick Holley and Aaron Willison are other drivers who will welcome this announcement. Holley set quick time both times the series visited Owosso Speedway in 2023 and holds the all-time track record. Willison who hails from Langely British Columbia, Canada is known for setting track records all across the country.

The Owosso event will see the return of a couple standout drivers. In addition to Willison, Florida’s 14-year-old phenom Colton Bettis will make his second career MSR appearance. The teenager set fast time at Sandusky, Ohio on July 26 driving for the Sam Pierce / AP Development Aaron Pierce wrenched entry. Bettis was running up front during the feature event before mechanical issues sent him to the pits. He will now get a redo racing for the same team.

Willison's return to MSR competition is an interesting story. The recently crowned Northwest Sprint Tour Champion made his first career start at Lancaster, New York on June 1. In what appeared to be a one-off event driving the Dick Myers owned #50m has turned into several MSR appearances. Despite missing 2 events, the western Canada speedster finds himself inside the top 10 in points.

Ryan Litt, who won the most recent series event at Berlin on August 10 is also expected to participate. Litt brought his newborn daughter with him and found victory lane and instantly proclaimed her his good luck charm. It's all but certain baby Litt will be attending her second race.

The Labor Day Weekend Must See Racing appearance to Owosso Speedway annually draws one of the biggest car counts and crowds the series will race in front of. Saturday's event looks to be much the same. Over 30 cars between the National and Midwest Lights Series is already confirmed. Drivers from 5 different states and 2 Canadian provinces are expected.

Among the National Series drivers expected include Teddy Alberts, Adam Biltz, Jason Blonde, Jeff Bloom, JJ Dutton, Tom Geren, Bobby Komisarski, Jimmy McCune, Kevin Mingus, Tommy Nichols, Charlie Schultz, Dorman Snyder, and more.

Joe Liguori continues his march towards his first MSR National Series championship with a commanding points lead. A tight points battle between Cody Gallogly and JJ Henes wages on in the Midwest Lights Series

Andy Forsberg Nets 10th Place Finish During Gold Cup Race of Champions

PETERSEN MEDIA: Picking up a top five just one week ago with the High Limit Racing when the series invaded Placerville Speedway, Andy Forsberg had another good showing with the National series as he finished seventh in his preliminary night run on Thursday before a 10th place finish in Saturday’s 40-lap finale.

“We put ourselves in a good spot after our prelim on Thursday night, and Saturday night we came into the night sitting 18th in points which lined us up fourth in our heat race,” Andy Forsberg said. “We were able to lock into the feature which was a huge deal with the money they had up for grabs just to make it so that was really cool for a lot of us local drivers who made it in.”

Hitting the track on Thursday night, an adventurous qualifying effort saw Forsberg 25th on the speed chart and out of the heat race inversion which initially had him in a deep hole for the week ahead. However, with another driver’s time being disallowed, it put Forsberg in 24th and on the pole of his heat race as the last car in the inversion.

Able to get the jump when the race went green, Forsberg wired the field as he picked up the win and locked himself directly into the preliminary night feature event as he looked to continue to add to his point total for Saturday’s finale.

Lining up 15th in the ‘A’, Forsberg was able to move forward as he navigated around the familiar bullring. Racing into the Top-10, Forsberg hooked up in an exciting battle with Sean Becker as they jockeyed for position lap after lap.

When the race drew to a close, Forsberg capped the night off with a seventh-place finish.

Acting as a spectator on Friday night, Forsberg was back in action on Saturday night for the 70th running of the Gold Cup Race of Champions. Lining up fourth in his heat race, the Auburn, CA driver simply needed to finish fourth or better to lock himself into the 40-lap finale.

Finishing third, Forsberg was securely in the feature event as he was set to take the green flag from the 14th starting position. With the track still very fast from over night rain that hit the area, the first half of the race clicked off quick as Forsberg was able to work his way forward.

Getting up into 10th during the back half of the race, Forsberg capped the successful week off by taking the checkered flag in 10th.

“It was a great week, it was a fun event, and I am happy we could race well,” Forsberg said. “We still have a lot of racing to do out here now which is different than in years past, but now we get right back to some 360ci action this week.”

BY THE NUMBERS: Races-35, Wins-4, Top 5’s-18, Top 10’s-24

ON TAP: Forsberg will be in action this Saturday and Sunday night at Placerville Speedway for the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout.

Tanner Carrick Eyes Another NorCal Posse Shootout Crown After Wrapping High Limit Racing Swing

PETERSEN MEDIA: Spending the last two weeks running with High Limit Racing during their swing in California, things return to normal as Tanner Carrick now has his eyes set on another Nor*Cal Posse Shootout win as Placerville Speedway plays host to an unsanctioned 360ci show this Saturday and Sunday night.

“It was an up and down swing for us, but it is always good to run against those guys,” Tanner Carrick said. “We would have liked to have ran a little better, but we will now focus on some big races we still have left out here to run.”

This past weekend saw Carrick and the CVC/Cemex/CA Waterfowl No. 83T team battle in Chico, CA for the Gold Cup Race of Champions.

Racing his way directly into his Thursday night prelim feature, Carrick took the green flag from the 14th starting position. Getting off to a good start, Carrick was up into sixth on the fifth lap, but he’d run into a little trouble on the eight lap as he got over the edge of the surface in turns three and four and fall back to 12th.

Getting back into 11th, some hard racing in the closing laps saw Carrick ultimately slip back to a 16th place finish when the checkered flag flew on his qualifying night.

Lining up seventh in his Saturday night heat race, Carrick needed to get ingo fourth to transfer directly into the 40-lap feature event. With his elbows up, the Lincoln, CA native worked hard as he ran towards a transfer spot.

Settling for fifth at the checkered, even though he didn’t transfer out of his heat race, it put Carrick in a good spot heading into the ‘B Main’ event.

Lining up fourth in the semi, Carrick got a strong start as he launched into second and gave himself a couple of insurance spots to play with. Keeping a tight hold on the runner up position, Carrick finished second and was safely in the 70th Gold Cup Race of Champions feature event.

Lining up 21st on the starting grid, passing from deep in the pack proved to be tricky with the track having a ton of grip and speed in it. Racing into the Top-15 in just the first 14 laps of the race, Carrick got as high as 13th, but ultimately settled for a 15th place finish when the race came to an end.

“Big thanks to Clark and Shay for working so hard, and putting us in a good position to make the big show when it was all said and done,” Carrick said. “I am looking forward to Placerville Speedway this weekend because we have been really strong the last couple times out in our 360ci package.”

BY THE NUMBERS: Starts: 47, Wins: 6, Top 5’s: 22, Top 10’s: 29

ON TAP: Carrick will be in action this weekend at the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout in Placerville, CA.

Reinhardt Caps Good Weekend With Top Five at Kramer Klash
By mraddicted2dirt on Aug 26, 2024 03:57 pm

Abbottstown, PA – August 27, 2024

On the heels of a tough trip to Knoxville Raceway in early August that did not live up to what he expected of himself and his team, Kyle Reinhardt and his team took a weekend off to regroup.

They returned to action over the weekend and showed they are ready to put the Midwest venture behind them and perform like they have shown they can.
QUICK RESULTS

DATE: August 23, 2024

Event: Jack Gunn Memorial
Division: 410 Sprint Cars
Location: Williams Grove Speedway, Mechanicsburg, PA
Stats: 28 cars, Qualifying 10th, Heat 3rd (3), A-main 9th (10)

DATE: August 24, 2024

Event: Kramer Klash
Division: 410 Sprint Cars
Location: Lincoln Speedway, Abbottstown, PA
Stats: 35 cars, Group B Qualifying 4th, Heat 1st (1), A-main 4th (3)

NICE RECOVERY

Reinhardt kicked off his weekend at the $8,000-to-win Jack Gunn Memorial race at Williams Grove Speedway where he clocked in 10th quickest in the 28-car field.

He proceeded to log a 3rd place finish in his heat race to earn the 10th starting spot in the 30-lap main event.

Early in the finale, Reinhardt slipped outside of the top ten, running 13th as the race neared its midpoint. A second-half push put him back into the top ten on lap twenty and a last-lap pass put him 9th in the final rundown.
RETURN TO FORM

Saturday night Reinhardt made the short tow from his race shop to the nearby Lincoln Speedway for the Kramer Klash, which offered up $7,300 to the winner in honor of the late Kramer Williamson and his famed No.73 Pink Panther race car.

Reinhardt posted the 4th fastest lap in Group B qualifying for the split 35-car field. The lap earned him the pole in his heat race, which he took full advantage of. The Neptune City, NJ native led all ten laps, besting Ryan Smith by 3.184 seconds.

The heat race win earned Reinhardt the 3rd starting spot for the 35-lap A-main. After running 4th over the first nine laps, he dropped to 5th. He held a firm grip on that spot through lap thirty when he made a final push forward, taking back 4th with five laps remaining and holding on to the checkers.

“I’m very happy with the speed we found. We made a lot of changes to our car and are feeling comfortable with the direction we are heading.”, Reinhardt commented.
UP NEXT

A three-race weekend lies ahead for Reinhardt. The Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers, Coors Banquet Beer, E-Z-GO Golf Cars, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.91 team will have the opportunity to keep the momentum going with a return to Williams Grove Speedway this Friday for the $8,000-to-win Eash Brothers Tribute, followed by the Labor Day Duel on Saturday and Sunday night at Lincoln Speedway.

Grant Brings Broom to DuQuoin as He Looks for Sweep

By Jay Hardin Track Enterprises Staff

(Du Quoin, IL) Illinois is unique in that it is home to two state fairs and the last two active one-mile dirt tracks that host auto racing. Twenty-three times, the driver that won the championship race at Springfield followed it up with a win in the Ted Horn 100 at the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds. Winning the Bettenhausen 100 at Springfield gives California’s Justin Grant the chance to be the twenty-fourth.

There will be some similarities between the 71st Ted Horn 100 and the 61st Bettenhausen 100 for Grant. He comes into the event chasing point leader Kody Swanson, the race is on a one-mile dirt track that he’s won on before, and like Springfield it will be a daytime race. Past that, DuQuoin is a different animal than the mile at Springfield, but one Grant is familiar with as the defending winner of the Ted Horn 100. Last year Grant started from the pole after going out nearly last in qualifying, then took the lead on lap 2 and was never headed. This year at Springfield, Grant set fast time and led all 100 miles from the pole position.

Grant clinched the 2022 Silver Crown championship at Springfield in 2020. This year, he has spent most of the year chasing 7-time Silver Crown champion Kody Swanson for the title. Swanson’s misfortune at WWT Raceway and Grant’s Springfield win drew him within 21 points of the championship. With 76 available at DuQuoin, plus dirt events at Eldora and Terre Haute and the season ender at Lucas Oil Raceway Park, Grant can get even closer to a second championship by winning the Magic Mile.

The 71st Ted Horn 100 is part of a huge weekend of racing that begins on Saturday afternoon, August 31 with USAC Silver Crown and Modifieds at the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds, and Sunday evening, September 1 with the ARCA Southern Illinois 100 and the Bill Oldani Memorial for the Modifieds at the Magic Mile.

Advance tickets for the DuQuoin State Fair races are available by calling the Track Enterprises office at 217-764-3200, by calling the DuQuoin State Fair box office at 618-542-1535, or by stopping by the DuQuoin State Fair box office.

Reutzel finds victory lane in final Knoxville visit of the season
ByTyler Altmeyer
Aug 26, 2024

By Fully Injected Motorsports:

KNOXVILLE, Iowa (August 26, 2024) – Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) concluded their 2024 Knoxville Raceway campaign in the best manner possible, and that is in victory lane, scoring their sixth 360 triumph of the season in the facility’s final sprint car program of the year. Additionally, the victory increased the Clute, Texas, native’s overall win count to 11 since his schedule commenced, eight of which at the Sprint Car Capital of the World (two in 410 competition).

Reutzel, ace of Brian and Lisa Ridge’s Folkens Brothers Trucking, Don Long & STC, B And L Holdings, American Table, No. 87 sprinter, earned a $3,000 payday for his efforts, taking command at the midpoint of the 20-lapper over Cam Martin and Joe Beaver; he started seventh.

The Knoxville Raceway 360 sprint car victory was the 15th of Reutzel’s career. Unfortunately, “A-Aron” was unable to find success in the 410 sprint car portion of the program, a broken axle being the culprit.

“We definitely have a bullet under the hood, and I have Don Long to thank for that,” said Reutzel in Victory Lane. “Our package in the 360 is so wide. I can experiment a little bit, and then we’re still usually right there at the end of the night. It was another great year. It was a lot of fun. I love racing here every week. There’s nothing like it.”

ON DECK:
Ridge & Sons Racing and Aaron Reutzel [No. 87] will continue their 2024 campaign with a trip to South Dakota, joining the World of Outlaws for the rescheduled Huset’s Hustle presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking finale on Friday, August 30, all before the BillionAuto.com Huset’s High Bank Nationals presented by Menards on August 31-September 1.

“Another incredible weekend for this RSR team. Can’t thank Brian and Lisa Ridge enough for this opportunity. We had some rocky weekends, but we kept our heads up and kept moving forward. The positive attitude is certainly paying off,” Eliason expressed. “We still have a lot of racing left on the West Coast, and a lot of money to chase. We’ll work to keep this going.”

Loss aims at $30,000 in upcoming Lincoln Labor Day Weekend pair
ByTyler Altmeyer
Aug 26, 2024

HANOVER, Pa. (August 26, 2024) – Holiday stretches in Pennsylvania Posse Country usually translate into big money potential for open wheel competitors, and it’s certainly no different for the upcoming Labor Day weekend, as Pennsylvania’s finest 410 sprint car aces will likely battle in the Pigeon Hills during their holiday schedules – “The Boss” JJ Loss being one of them.

Loss, ace of his family owned Next Level Signs & Graphics, Your Hometown Agents – Colby Jacobs & Neil Reichart Team, Diversified Cuts, Wolf’s Plumbing LLC, Capitol Renegade, No. 67 sprint car, will battle in the Pigeon Hills during each of Lincoln Speedway’s weekend blockbusters, chasing $15,000 in Saturday’s Kevin Gobrecht Memorial, as well as $15,000 in Sunday’s Laboy Day Duel.

Certainly no stranger to the Abbottstown oval, Loss has been a regular fixture all of 2024, and although tough luck has plagued much of his stat card, the young man out of Hanover is eager to turn the perception in a hurry.

“It’s been an up and down year for us, but we don’t let that get to us. We’re privileged to be out here doing this with our own team so we work to enjoy every minute of it,” Loss said. “We figured out a lot this past weekend, and even though we were short of making the A, I felt comfortable and we resolved a lot of issues. Before the weekend we ended up switching back to the Maxim that we raced last year, which took a little time to figure out, but we made leaps of progress. The consolation was non-stop, so it was going to be tough to make up any ground regardless.

“We’re excited for Labor Day Weekend,” Loss added. “The plan is to be at both of the Lincoln races. As long as nothing crazy or out of the ordinary happens, we’ll be at both.”

ON DECK:
JJ Loss and JKL Racing will continue their 2024 campaign with return visits to Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown, Pennsylvania, on Saturday and Sunday, August 31 and September 1. The Labor Day Weekend pair will award $15,000-to-win each.

“I think we are starting to turn the corner…it’s been a long time coming, but we’re excited about it,” Andrews explained. “We needed a good night like that, especially with a big two days ahead over Labor Day Weekend. There’s a lot of money on the line both nights so to get our first win of the season during that weekend wouldn’t be so bad.”

Chris Andrews and Chris Andrews Racing continued their recent weekend with a Saturday stop at Waynesfield Raceway Park in Waynesfield, Ohio, concluding the FAST Series program 11th after starting 16th.

VINCENTOWN, N.J. (August 26, 2024) – It was a random weekend in the Keystone State for Justin Whittall and JW Motorsports, well, in some respect, visiting Williams Grove Speedway for the Jack Gunn Memorial on Friday, August 23, all before making a last minute visit to Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, August 24.

Same goes for Red River Valley Speedway…we were happy to get there and pad our weekend with another solid finish. We have a lot of money on the line this weekend at Huset’s Speedway. It will be a tough field, but we’re ready to get started.”

GETTYSBURG, Pa. (August 26, 2024) – Another start at Williams Grove Speedway resulted in another hard charging performance for Danny Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing, this time rallying from the outside of row seven to score a top-five in the 42nd Annual Jack Gunn Memorial on Friday, August 23. Dietrich, who rallied from 18th to fifth just one weekend prior, concluded his Jack Gunn charge also in the fifth position, propelling his top-five tally to 29 on the season.

“No excuses…just gotta keep digging,” Dietrich said. “We’re definitely better than where we’ve been finishing. Just gotta get over that hump and have some things fall our way. We have a big weekend ahead, and a lot of reasons to get up front. We owe one to our fans.”

CRSA RETURNS TO CANADA FOR CANADIAN CRSA/CRATE CHALLENGE AT CORNWALL

Press Release By: Marty Czekala – August 22, 2024 –

CORNWALL, ONTARIO – O, Canada, CRSA is coming back!

The A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints, powered by Super Gen Products, announced today that they will return to Canada Oct. 5 for the Canadian CRSA/Crate Challenge at Cornwall Motor Speedway in Ontario. This race marks CRSA's return to Canada for the first time since 2008 and is the first CRSA-sanctioned race in Ontario.

The event will conclude the 2024 season as a non-point event. It will feature one of the highest purses in recent CRSA memory: $1500 to win, $250 to make the feature and $75 for tow money.

CRSA drivers led by Sherbrooke, Quebec’s Tomy Moreau, past champions Jordan Hutton and Dalton Herrick, and young guns from the likes of Blake Warner and Dillon Paddock are just the many that will represent CRSA at Cornwall. About eight to 10 Canadian crate drivers will look to spoil the night for the CRSA family of drivers. Lee Ladouceur, Ryan Poole, Cam MacKinnon and Matt Billings are some notables that race a crate sprint locally in Canada.

Cornwall Motor Speedway track promoter Raymond Lavergne contacted CRSA owner Mike Emhof, expressing his interest in bringing “The Future Stars of Sprint Cars” back to Canada. Emhof and his crew at CRSA also reached out to drivers expressing interest.

“I worked with Mike in the past, and he was a really nice, excellent and honest guy to work with," said Lavergne. "His past with the Patriot Sprint Tour was great. He worked with us as a promoter and we continue to work together. Sprint car racing in Canada is huge. I always want to give a chance for fans to see a new series.”

“We want to thank Raymond for hosting the CRSA Sprints and his excitement for sprint car racing,” said Emhof. “Many people don’t realize that sprint car racing is well known in Canada, and we’re proud to see CRSA gather interest.”

Current CRSA Sprints points leader Tomy Moreau's hopes of having a series race in his home country are under two months from coming true. One of the more dedicated drivers in the series, making around five to seven-hour trips to New York, Moreau considers this the biggest race of his career.

"Joining CRSA three years ago, I was dreaming that it could be cool to see them in Canada, but knowing everyone is working weekdays, I never expected it, really," Moreau said. "Cornwall is a track I started to go to when I was five or six years old, watching my dad race. I know this place like its home for me. Super excited to have a place on the schedule and hope everyone that will come will love it as much as me.”

Further details will be revealed in the coming weeks on CRSASprints.com, Facebook and X @CRSASprints.

Must See Racing

August 21, 2024 - Holly, Michigan - The Must See Racing Maxima Racing Oils Midwest Lights Series is back in action this Saturday night August 24, 2024, at Lorain Raceway Park in South Amherst. Ohio. It will be round #3 for the winged asphalt 602 crate series.

Several rainouts earlier in the year produced very few events for the series to kick off the season. The majority of the remaining events are on the back half of the schedule beginning with Saturday night's event at LRP. LRP is the unofficial home of the series as the track has hosted more Midwest Lights events since the inception of the series in 2020.

Saturday's event is expected to draw the biggest field of cars of the season. The series continues to grow and is slowly gaining new cars regularly. Supermodified regular Talon Stephens is expected to make his debut with the series this weekend, proof the series continues to gain new cars and drivers as the series grows.

The points battle is shaping up to go right down to the wire. Only 25 points separate the top 5. There is only a single point difference between first place and second place. Two-time and defending series champion Cody Gallogly only has a 1-point advantage over 2020 series champion JJ Henes. Andrew Bogusz is lurking in third place only 10 points out of the lead.

Other expected entrants this weekend include Charlie Baur, Parker Corbin, Matt Double, JD Evans, Lucas Krick, Ethan Rader, Joshua Sexton, Brandon Tregembo, Keegan Weese, and Rick Wichtner.

Covington Prepares for Montana After a Pair of Top-5s
Matt Covington Racing - Glenpool, Ok. (Aug 22nd, 2024) Last weekend's action saw Covington and other fellow competitors shifting focus back to the National tour after the weeks in Knoxville.
The results were a podium and a top-5 finish for Covington, landing a 3rd at Dodge City Raceway, and 4th at Lincoln County Raceway in Nebraska.
“Not sure what to really say about last weekend and stay positive,” stated Covington. “We were good both nights and had tons of speed with good qualifying, heat, and dash efforts to put us up front. But again, we came up short in the feature to get the win. We’ve been right in the mix for the win, but not good enough to beat Sam who is on a roll right now. The one positive is that it's pushing all of us on the Tour to get better and to elevate our game out on the track. We will just keep plugging away and working hard. Steven got the car ready and we will see if we can’t battle to break through this weekend in Montana.”
Covington's upcoming weekend with the ASCS National tour will consist of a two-night stop at Big Sky Speedway in Billings, Montana on Friday and Saturday.
Matt and his team would like to thank all partners who are making this 2024 season possible. We look forward to the continued relationship throughout the year, along with future seasons to come: Triple X Chassis, All-Star Performance, Missile Motorsports, Reece Construction, Outlaw Wings, KSE Steering, Winters Performance, A-Rock Materials, Smiley’s Racing Products, Hoosier Tire, Keizer Wheels, Factor 1 Racing, Smith Titanium, Simpson Race Products, Huggins Cams, Kaeding Performance /FK Shocks, Ultra Lite Brakes, Maxima Racing Oils, Lawhon Solutions, Eaton Industrial, Hot Rod Powder Coating, Rod End Supply, Maxwell Oil, Schoenfeld Headers, KEN Enterprise, Edison Auto Body, Brodix Cylinder Heads, Swindell Bleeders, D&W Towing, and T&L Foundry.

Hunter Schuerenberg to pilot TKS Motorsports No. 2KS beginning Saturday at Knoxville Raceway
ByTyler Altmeyer
Aug 21, 2024

MITCHELLVILLE, Iowa (August 21, 2024) – In hopes of tackling a busy late season campaign that will activate with Knoxville Raceway’s Season Championship Night on Saturday, August 24, Troy and Tammy Renfro of TKS Motorsports are pleased to announce that “Hunter Percent” Hunter Schuerenberg is now the man in charge of their Iowa Barnstormers No. 2KS sprint car. The team, based in Mitchellville, Iowa, will measure their progress week to week, assembling a schedule as time progresses.

As noted, the Sikeston, Missouri, native will make his TKS Motorsports debut at the Sprint Car Capital of the World, wheeling in the speedway’s final sprint car program of the year. Certainly no stranger to Knoxville’s four corners, Schuerenberg made his most recent laps in the coveted Knoxville Nationals, qualifying for Saturday’s B-Main before finishing 15th.

Schuerenberg’s highlight reel runs deep, padded with success at the national micro level before transferring his attention to non-wing sprint cars and finally winged sprint cars in 2015.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Hunter Schuerenberg to TKS Motorsports. He’s a talented wheelman and I’m confident in his abilities. I think I speak for everyone when I say we’re excited to get started,” Troy Renfro, owner of the Iowa Barnstormers, Des Moines Industrial Products, Jersey Freeze Ice Cream, AL Driveline, TJ Forged, No. 2KS sprint car, said. “The goal is to head into Knoxville on Saturday with the intent to learn a lot about each other. I’m sure we’ll connect rather quickly.

“I want to thank Kelby Watt for stepping up last minute and driving for us last weekend at Jackson Motorplex,” Renfro added. “He didn’t have a lot of notice, but he did a great job and we’re grateful for that.”

ON DECK:
TKS Motorsports and Hunter Schuerenberg will continue their 2024 campaign with Knoxville Raceway’s season championship on Saturday, August 24.

Alex Pokorski tallies IRA 410 seat time, hones in on MSA 360 home stretch

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 20, 2024 – Alex Pokorski and the members of the Akright Auto Racing Team tacked on a few more pages to their 410 Sprint Car notebook during the team’s third start of the 2024 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series season on Sunday, Aug. 18 in the annual Corn Fest event at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis.

The 2023 Midwest Sprint Car Association and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing Most Improved Driver Award winner fired up the night by qualifying 22nd in the 27-car field after circling the historic third-mile clay oval in 13.858 seconds.

After rolling off eighth in the first IRA eight-lap heat race, Pokorski placed ninth, which put him in the 12-lap B main needing to finish in the top six to earn an A-main berth.

The West Bend, Wis. driver responded by advancing two spots from the eighth starting position to gain a berth in his second career 30-lap IRA 410 Sprint Car Series main event with a sixth place showing.

Pokorski survived four race stoppages, including a red flag leading to an open red period, to move up six spots from his 24th starting perch and claim an 18th place A-main finish in a race won by Joe B. Miller.

The result equaled Pokorski’s 18th place showing in his first career IRA 410 Sprint Car Series A-main at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, May 24.

“It was a fun night,” Pokorski said. “I feel pretty comfortable in the 410 car. We battled with engine heat issues all night. Hopefully, we can fix that.”

Pokorski was scheduled to compete in a Plymouth Dirt Track Racing-Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car event on Saturday, Aug. 17, which was cancelled due to rain.

The Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team is gearing up for the final four races of the 2024 Akright Auto Midwest Sprint Car Association season starting with a PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car event on Friday, Aug. 23 at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis.

The 360 Sprint Cars will be joined by the Dirt Kings Late Model Tour, as well as the PDTR Grand Nationals and B Mods for the final points night of the 2024 campaign for both divisions.

Grandstand gates open at 4:30 p.m. with qualifying at 5:30 p.m. and racing at 6 p.m.

The event will be available to view via live stream via watchfye.tv.

ESS Heads to Quebec for Pair of $3,000 to Win Events at Granby and Drummond

By Curtis Berleue (Granby, QC) | Each year, the Empire Super Sprints make an annual pilgrimage far north to the province of Quebec. 2024 is no different, as this weekend the stars of the Empire Super Sprints will invade Autodrome Granby on Friday August 23 and Autodrome Drummond on Saturday August 24.

Last season, Jeff Cook sat in victory lane at Autodrome Granby, marking what is likely his final ESS victory. At Autodrome Drummond last season, Matt Tanner was victorious when he picked up his second win of the season.

Headed into this weekends Quebec swing, there are nine points-paying events left on the Empire Super Sprints schedule. Two time and defending champion Jordan Poirier is once again atop the standings. While Poirier has yet to sit in victory lane in 2024, he has been a model of consistency having not finished outside of the top 10 in any event so far this season.

Second in points is New Jersey’s Davie Franek, just 17 points back from Poirier. Franek has three victories on the season thus far (Freedom, Fulton and Brockville), and will look to close the gap even further this weekend.

Third in points is Jason Barney, 91 points back from Franek, Matt Tanner sits fourth in points and Billy VanInwegen rounds out the top five.

For this weekend’s events at Autodrome Granby and Autodrome Drummond, be sure to check both the tracks and ESS social media pages for information regarding gate times and prices, along with a nightly order of events.

The ESS Road Ahead:

Friday, August 23 – Autodrome Granby - Granby, QC ($3,000 to Win)

Saturday, August 24 – Autodrome Drummond – Drummondville, QC ($3,000 to Win)

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 21, 2024 – As one of the most frequented tracks on the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series circuit, negotiating the nuances of Wilmot Raceway has been an ongoing work in progress for Austin Hartmann and the 87A Hartmann Racing team during the past three seasons of IRA competition at the tricky three-eighths-mile semi-banked clay oval nestled in the tiny community of Wilmot, Wis.

Hartmann, who posted a strong fifth place A-main finish in an unsanctioned 410 Sprint Car race at Wilmot on May 6, 2023, scored his first top 10 main event showing in IRA competition at the venerable speed plant by placing ninth in the annual Kenosha County Fair Night racing program on Saturday, Aug. 17.

The evening started well for the third-year IRA 410 Sprint Car Series driver as he ripped off the sixth fastest qualifying time in the 27-car field with a lap of 13.241 seconds on the three-eighths-mile semi-banked clay oval.

Hartmann then turned in a fifth place showing after starting third in the third eight-lap IRA Sprint Car Series heat race to earn his fifth IRA dash appearance of the 2024 campaign.

After starting third and placing fourth in the second four-lap IRA dash, the 2020 Midwest Sprint Car Association – Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car Rookie of the Year Award winner launched from eighth in the 30-lap IRA main event.

Hartmann hovered around the eighth, ninth and 10th positions throughout the event before turning in a ninth-place A-main showing in a race won by Greg Wilson.

It was Hartmann's sixth top-10 A-main finish of the team’s 2024 campaign.

One night later, Hartmann and the team traveled to Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. for the annual Corn Fest event with the Bumper to Bumper IRA Sprint Car Series on Sunday, Aug. 18.

Hartmann opened the night by qualifying 18th in the 27-car field with a lap of 13.762 seconds. From there, the fifth-year Winged Sprint Car competitor started and finished sixth in the third eight-lap IRA heat race to advance to the A-main.

After starting 16th in the 30-lap main event, Hartmann survived four race stoppages, including one red flag featuring an open red session, and drove a clean, consistent race to improve two positions on the way to a 14th place finish behind the winning car of Joe B. Miller.

"We had a good night at Wilmot," Hartmann said. "We definitely didn’t need the caution in the feature. It broke our momentum. We didn't have a great night at Angell Park. The car came to life finally with about 10 laps to go and I managed to get by a couple more cars before the checkered. We are looking forward to the IRA doubleheader at Plymouth and Sturgeon Bay over the Labor Day weekend."

Following an off weekend, the 87A Hartmann Racing team will embark on a doubleheader Labor Day holiday weekend with the Bumper to Bumper IRA Sprint Car Series starting Saturday, Aug. 31 during a Sheboygan County Fair at The Plymouth Dirt Track.

The Plymouth Dirt Track Racing – Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Cars are also on the card with on-track action slated to begin at 5 p.m.

On Sunday, Sept. 1, the team will venture north to The Hill Raceway in Sturgeon Bay, Wis. for the first-ever IRA Sprint Car Series event to be held at the slightly banked third-mile clay oval, along with the Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Car Series and Stock Cars.

Spectator gates open at 3 p.m. with racing scheduled to begin at 5 p.m.

All Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series events can be viewed via live streaming at Floracing.com.

The 2024 87A Hartmann Racing team consists of Eric Bergschultz, Ian Schultz, Karlee Hartmann, Andrew Shufflebotham and Kristine Hartmann.

Arenz cues up pair of 8s in IRA Wilmot, Angell Park action

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 21, 2024 – Although going about it in two different ways the end result was the same for Travis Arenz and the members of the Travis Arenz Motorsports team in Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series action at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wis. on Saturday, Aug. 17 and Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. on Sunday, Aug. 18.

With a Kenosha County Fair Night crowd looking on, Arenz night at Wilmot got off to a slow start with a late draw leading to a 22nd place qualifying run out of the 27 cars in attendance with a lap of 13.836 seconds.

The 17th year competitor started eighth and placed one spot short of an A-main transfer spot with a seventh place showing in the first eight-lap IRA heat race. The 2021 and 2022 Midwest Sprint Car Association - Plymouth Dirt Track Racing champion then placed second after starting third in the 12-lap IRA B main to advance to the evening’s 30-lap IRA headliner.

As he has on a couple of other occasions this year, Arenz flipped the switch into hard charger mode in moving up from the 20th starting spot to come home with an impressive eighth place showing in the 30-lap IRA A-main.
“Like normal, I didn’t draw well, which caused us to qualify very late in the group at Wilmot,” Arenz said. “The track was pretty tricky as it was dry in some spots and had a lot of moisture in others. I didn’t hit my marks the best, so our outcome wasn’t where we needed to be. After starting deep in the heat race and realizing there wasn’t going to be a lot of passing happening, we had to run the B-main. We made quite a few adjustments to our set up and rolled out 20th for the A-main. I love racing at Wilmot and typically have good results there. After struggling early in the night, advancing 12 spots in the feature was what we needed. While doing maintenance on Sunday morning we found that our chassis is bent, which could be part of the struggle we had at Wilmot.”
One night later at Angell Park Speedway, Arenz enjoyed a much smoother and consistent night of racing. He opened by qualifying sixth overall in the 27-car field with a lap of 13.288 seconds before advancing from the third starting spot to place second in the third eight-lap IRA heat race.

Arenz then rolled off fourth before placing fifth in the first four-lap IRA dash to gain the ninth starting spot in the 30-lap main event.

The 2013 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing Outlaw Compact Four-Cylinder and 2016 141 Speedway Northern Sport Mod champion negotiated his way through three caution flags and a red flag which included an open red period to register an eighth place main event finish.

The weekend pair of eighth place showings pushed Arenz’s number of top 10 A-main finishes to six in the 13 IRA Sprint Car Series events the Travis Arenz Motorsports Team has contested during the 2024 campaign.
“At Angell Park, we had a lot better qualifying position and the heat race results put us in the dash,” Arenz said. “We started in the back of the dash, but it still allowed us a ninth place starting position in the feature. There’s not much to say about the feature results as I bounced around that same position the entire race. All in all, we are ready to regroup and move on to Plymouth in a couple weeks for their fair night race.
“I am still looking for another set of crew hands to help for the remainder of the season and, hopefully, for seasons to come,” he said. “Anyone with an interest can reach out to me for more info.”
Those interested in assisting the team as a crew member can send a direct message to Travis through the Travis Arenz Motorsports Facebook page.

Following an off weekend, the Travis Arenz Motorsports team will compete in a doubleheader Labor Day holiday weekend with the Bumper to Bumper IRA Sprint Car Series starting Saturday, Aug. 31 during a Sheboygan County Fair at The Plymouth Dirt Track.

The Plymouth Dirt Track Racing – Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Cars are also on the card. On-track action begins at 5 p.m.

On Sunday, Sept. 1, the team will venture north to The Hill Raceway in Sturgeon Bay, Wis. for IRA Sprint Car Series action, along with the Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Car Series and Stock Cars.

Spectator gates open at 3 p.m. with racing scheduled to begin at 5 p.m.

All 2024 Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series events will be streamed live on FloRacing.

The 2024 Travis Arenz Motorsports team consists of pit crew members Jerrod Gamb, Cameron Fritz, Bobby Bonelli, Keith Fellner and Emily Stadler.

Ryder Memorial and Point Championships on Fan Appreciation Night at Tri City Raceway Park

(August 21, 2024): Tri City Raceway Park will try again to complete the Ryder Memorial for the BRP Modified Tour this Sunday, August 25. In addition to the special event for the Big Block Modifieds, all divisions that compete at Tri City will crown their champions at the conclusion of the night’s activities. But, what is more, all fans will be admitted to the grandstands for just $10 as part of the second Fan Appreciation Night of the season.

“We are really looking forward to this event because the Modifieds are part of our heritage at Tri City,” said track owner Josh Shiffer. “The extended forecast looks favorable, so we should complete this race as scheduled.”

The BRP Tour should bring twenty or more of the touring racers to Tri City. Modified drivers from at least three states and at least one Canadian province should be in the field this Sunday.

The BRP Tour has completed five races so far this season. Three of the victories have gone to New Yorker Erick Rudolph, who also leads the touring series points chase. Rudolph has also prevailed several times at Tri City. Canadian Mat Williamson and Buckeye Rex King, Jr. have the other two series victories.

Rudolph currently leads the Mod Tour points over Garrett Krummert. Krummert will be back in his own machine after taking Steve Slater’s car to a Tri City win a couple of weeks ago. Rex King, Jr. and Ayden Cipriano, names well familiar to the Tri City fans, are third and fourth in Mod Tour points. Tyler Willard sits in fifth heading into this week’s action.

Other Mod Tour drivers anticipated to be at Tri City include Dave Murdick, Will Thomas, Rick Regalski, Colton Walters, Dalton Slack, Brad Rapp, Jordan Ehrenberg, Mike Kinney, Rodney Beltz, Tom Holden, Shawn Kozar, Steve Barr, and Jeremiah Shingledecker. Many of these drivers have plenty of laps around the big half mile, so any one of them could challenge for the win.

The 21st Century Energy Group Modifieds will be led into battle by current points leader Chad Reitz, who lives only a few minutes away from the track. Steve Slater has returned to the seat of his car after missing a few races due to a health issue. Other track regulars who are expected to enter this Sunday include Hayden and Jimmy Holden, Lenny Liebold, III, Kyle Fink, Eric Beggs, Troy McGregor, and Kevin Green, and many more.

This race should serve as an excellent tune-up for the big Labor Day extravaganza. The Oil Region Classic will include a double feature program for the BRP Modified Tour.

Also on the card this Sunday will be the Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars. With his recent win, two time and defending track champion A.J. Flick jumped over Bob Felmlee in the point standings. Felmlee is only four points back, so the point championship is still in a state of flux. But it will all be resolved on Sunday night. Jeremy Weaver is still listed in third in the standings, but he has recently separated from the McMillen number 5 car and he is now driving his own 35W Sprinter. Top regional drivers like Jack Sodeman, Jr., Carl Bowser, Brandon Spithaler, and Michael Bauer are expected, along with a dozen or more track regulars.

The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks will provide support for this big show. Rod Laskey has the point lead heading into championship night. However, Pat Fielding and Josh Seippel are within range, so strong finishes on their parts, together with some misfortune for Laskey, could vault either of them onto the lead.

The 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprints will not be in action on August 25 due to a schedule conflict.

In their place, the RUSH Sportsmen Modifieds will compete. The RUSH Sportsmen will pay a hefty $1,000 winner’s share, with extra money for second and third place finishers as well. The extra purse money was made possible by the generosity of Complete Car Care Center of Seneca, PA; DeGroat Transportation of Oil City, PA; and The Vape Connection of Oil City and Titusville.

The Pit gates will open at 2 p.m. and the spectator gates will open at 4 p.m. Racing will start at 6 p.m. This will be the second Fan Appreciation Night of 2024, with discounted general admission of just $10.

If you cannot make it to Tri City Raceway Park for the re-set Ryder Memorial, the track will close out auto racing on the oval with the two-day Labor Day Oil Region Classic extravaganza on August 31 and September 1. Details will be forthcoming for the holiday event.

Also, plan to attend the first ever American Big Rig Race on October 19. The Mini Stocks will also be on that card.

Remember that you will need to check the Facebook page, Tri City Raceway Park, for current information. The former website is not updated and will soon be replaced.

CRSA INVADES BREWERTON FOR FIRST TIME

Press Release By: Marty Czekala – August 20, 2024

There’s a first for everything.

That applies Friday night as the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints powered by Super Gen Products get set for its inaugural race at “The D-Shaped Dirt Demon,” Brewerton Speedway featuring extra money in the B-Main.

24 drivers will take the green for the feature, plus two spots for eligible tour provisionals. The race pays $1000 to win and $200 to start the feature. Thanks to iFreeze Storage and Distribution Center and many other sponsors, extra money will be paid in the B-Main Friday.

It is the first time CRSA has raced at Brewerton. With this, the 1/3-mile D-shaped oval becomes the 25th different track that CRSA gets to push off at.

Here are the top stories for the weekend.

Last Week: CRSA ran at Outlaw Speedway Friday for the first-ever race of the Dandy Triple Play.

First-time winners have been a key story in CRSA this season and it happened again in Dundee as Dan Craun took advantage of a Blake Warner mishap under yellow with 10 to go to take his first career CRSA victory.

Craun joins Matt Rotz, Dillon Paddock and Adam DePuy as first-time CRSA winners in 2024 through nine races.

The final laps were the longest of Craun’s career, having to hold off Dalton Herrick in lapped traffic to take the victory.

“This is awesome,” said Craun. “Sometimes I wish we had rearview mirrors, but we don’t. Every time we come up on lapped traffic, this is always gonna be a factor.”

Herrick was second, followed by Kyle Pierce in third.

Points Standings: With back-to-back podiums Saturday, Kyle Pierce was able to trim the gap on Tomy Moreau's points lead to 23. Dalton Herrick is just a little behind in third, 26 back.

Ron Greek moved to fourth in points, 97 behind, while Blake Warner dropped to fifth, 105 back.

The top 10 are John Cunningham, sixth; Cliff Pierce, seventh; Jerry Sehn Jr., eighth; Jordan Hutton, ninth; and Adam DePuy, 10th.

Here Comes the Money: There is a lot to be excited about Friday's race at Brewerton, but one that gets some drivers fired up is extra iFreeze B-Main money added to the purse.

In CRSA racing, it’s currently $200 to start a feature, with $50 tow money for those who don't make the show. Thanks to additional sponsorship, fifth through ninth-place finishers in the iFreeze B-Main will pay $150, 10th through 14th receive $125 and everyone on back receives $100.

iFreeze Storage & Distribution Center, located in Fulton, NY, is a fully updated 120,000-square-foot facility offering storage and distribution for items needing refrigeration or to be kept frozen. The facility can store at temperatures as low as -18 to -20 degrees Fahrenheit.

“The purse of $1000 to win and $200 to start is excellent,” said Paul Colagiovanni, who was beneficial in negotiating the deal for CRSA to run at Brewerton. “CRSA has developed a good product and any track would benefit, in my opinion, from them coming along.”

Other partners that have stepped up to provide extra money include PJC Sprayfoam, Net Zero Builders, Westward Painting Company and Mike Emhof Motorsports.

Who to Watch: Since this is the first time CRSA has run Brewerton, it’s tough to tell who has experience unless you’ve run a 360 Sprint or a Micro Sprint.

The Empire Super Sprints have run two races at Brewerton so far this season. Drivers who ran with the ESS at Brewerton and have also entered a CRSA event this season include Jordan Hutton, Billy VanInwegen, Dan Bennett and Shawn Donath.

Donath’s best finish is a third earlier this season, Billy VanInwegen 12th, Hutton’s is 18th, while Bennett’s is 23rd

Tyler Graves and Emily VanInwegen each have an appearance at Brewerton this season but didn’t make the feature. Graves was 11th in the B-Main, while Emily VanInwegen was sixth.

Last year, Blake Warner, Johnny Smith and Chad Miller ran at Brewerton with ESS and only ran the B-Main. Warner's best finish was a fifth, Johnny Smith's a ninth and Miller’s a tenth.

From the Frontman: “When we were looking for tracks to fill the void for this weekend, we had been in talks with Brewerton about hosting a race. We have to thank Paul Colagiovanni for his assistance in setting this up and the management team at Brewerton Speedway for hosting us! We are looking forward to a great race and want to benefit those who don't qualify for our feature.” ~ Mike Emhof

From the Track GM: “The fields have been strong wherever this series and we are pleased to welcome them to "The Demon," ~ Cory Reed

Up next: CRSA takes Labor Day weekend off, then returns Sept. 7 at Weedsport Speedway for round three of the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge. Coverage can be seen live on DIRTVision.

Blackjack consistent at Missouri State Fair; Knoxville Season Championship Night ahead

By Fully Injected Motorsports:

GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (August 20, 2024) - In terms of schedule, it was a short weekend for Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing - only entering one event on Sunday, August 18 - but in terms of results, there was nothing short about it, concluding his visit to Missouri State Fair Speedway in Sedalia, Missouri, with a podium finish, his tenth top-five result of the season.

Brown, ace of his own Casey’s, FVP, Andy's Frozen Custard, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mt. Dew Overdrive, Ditzfeld Transfer, Hawk Hunting, No. 21 sprint car, finished second in his podium outcome, taking the lead at one point after commencing the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint Series main event from the inside of row three. The Grain Valley, Missouri, ace via Higginsville, Missouri, finished fourth in his respective heat race, kicking off the evening with the fastest qualifying time - he was the last car to take time.

“Overall, a solid night for our Casey’s | FVP team at Missouri State Fair. Went out last and set quick time…that really set the tone for us,” Brown noted. “We were good early on…found a different line than everyone else which got us to the front. Unfortunately, Aryton [Gennetten] was better than us late in the race. Found the bottom and snuck by. Sometimes it’s better to be running second than leading. Regardless, I'm proud of everyone. Ready to get back to Knoxville on Saturday.”

ON DECK:
Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing will continue their 2024 campaign with Knoxville Raceway’s Season Championship Night on Saturday, August 24.

Estenson Joining World of Outlaws in North Dakota Before Tackling Huset's Speedway Points Finale This Weekend

Inside Line Promotions - SPRINGFIELD, Neb. (Aug. 19, 2024) - Tim Estenson returns to the track this weekend refreshed following three weeks off.

"It's been pretty nice," he said. "Just like anything, sometimes you need a little break. When you get some time off you take advantage of it and refresh your mind. Now we're ready to go racing for the rest of the season."

Estenson will compete with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series on Friday at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D., during the Gerdau Presents the 2 nd Leg of the World of Outlaws Northern Tour and Saturday at Red River Valley Speedway in West Fargo, N.D., during the Gerdau Presents the World of Outlaws Duel in the Dakotas. He will conclude the weekend on Sunday at Huset's Speedway in Brandon, S.D.

The World of Outlaws races are close to home for Estenson, whose best finish at River Cities Speedway this season is a sixth-place outing. Saturday marks his first visit this season to Red River Valley Speedway.

"It gives you a boost of confidence to have some family and friends who are close watching," he said. "I think you go into it with an open mind and hopefully start fresh with some good laps. A top 10 would be nice."

Estenson heads into Sunday's show at Huset's Speedway, which is the final points night of the season, tied for third in the championship standings - only two points out of second place.

"Qualifying is so important," he said. "Hopefully I can draw good and set down a good lap in qualifying. That's what really sets up a chance for a good night."

Kaleb Johnson Scores Top Five During FENDT Jackson Nationals Finale at Jackson Motorplex

Inside Line Promotions - JACKSON, Minn. (Aug. 19, 2024) - Kaleb Johnson highlighted the 46 th annual FENDT Jackson Nationals with a fifth-place finish during the Gunderson Racing Inc. Midwest Sprint Touring Series 360 Sprint Cars finale last Saturday.

Johnson was strong throughout a pair of MSTS Series nights and he made the main event during both World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series programs at Jackson Motorplex.

"We had a decent weekend in the 360," he said. "I thought we could have won on Thursday. We led a few laps until a tire delaminated. On Saturday we were all right. I was a little bummed to go backwards, but at the end of the day we finished in the top five."

The event started on Thursday, when Johnson qualified second quickest and advanced from fourth to second place in an MSTS Series heat race. He redrew the No. 2 to start the A Main on the outside of the front row. Unfortunately, a tire delaminated while Johnson was leading and he faded to a ninth-place result.

"I took the lead in traffic and then I noticed a vibration when I was trying to get around a lapped car," he said. "It kept getting worse and worse. I slowed my pace down so the vibration wasn't as bad. Toward the end I was going maybe a quarter throttle just to get to the end of the race."

Johnson earned enough points to lock into the feature redraw on Saturday. He pulled the No. 3 to line up on the inside of the second row.

"We had to change a bunch of stuff on the car and honestly I wasn't as comfortable as I felt I could have been," he said. "I was lacking rear grip where I needed it. I just couldn't find the speed to get around people."

The fifth-place finish was his 12 th top five of the season.

Both races with the World of Outlaws were similar for Johnson, who raced his way into the main event by way of transferring through the Last Chance Showdown. He finished 22 nd in the A Main each night.

"I felt we were a little off all weekend," he said. "We lacked the speed early, especially in qualifying as well as the heat race. We got better toward the Last Chance Showdown. Once you're back there you're in a pretty big hole. I feel we got better, but you can't dig yourself a hole when you're racing with the World of Outlaws. All in all, it wasn't horrible as we made both features, but we lacked a little speed."

Johnson ventures to Huset's Speedway in Brandon, S.D., this Sunday for the final points race of the season. With an 88-point lead in the championship standings and only 50 points per race night up for grabs, Johnson has secured his first track championship at the high-banked track.

"We're going to try a few things on the race car because we have a big three-day weekend with the World of Outlaws after that," he said. "We're not worried about the points so we'll try some things to better our team."

Andy Forsberg 4th with High Limit Racing at Placerville Speedway

PETERSEN MEDIA: Taking of the national Kubota High Limit Racing series as they invaded Placerville Speedway on Saturday night, Andy Forsberg defended his home turf well as he picked up a 4th place finish against a loaded field of cars.

“We really had good speed all night long,” Andy Forsberg said. “We don’t run our 410 a whole bunch, so to do what we did against that caliber of cars is something be proud of, and hopefully we can continue that this week in Chico, CA.”

With 45 cars checked into the pit area to do battle with the High Rollers, Forsberg found himself in the first flight of qualifying but did find himself as one of the last cars out to take a time.

On this night the track was uncharacteristically wet, wet left a lot of speed in the surface as Forsberg was able to time the Meridian Cameras/Pacific Highway Rentals/Oroville Tax backed No. 92 entry in third fastest in his flight.

Lining up on the front row of his heat race alongside Corey Day, Forsberg won the drag race into turn one and quickly opened up his lead over the youngster. Picking up the win, Forsberg locked himself into the 35-lap feature event and was also securely in the impending Dash.

After starting fifth in the Dash, the Auburn, CA driver was able to improve his starting position in the feature event by a row as his fourth-place finish lined him on the outside of the second row.

When the 35-lap affair came to life, Forsberg ran in the fourth position until slipping to fifth on the 13th lap as Corey Day raced past him. Continuing to hold his own inside the Top-5, the laps clicked off in a hurry with no stoppages slowing the pace.

On the 27th lap, a slight bobble by the veteran saw him slick back to sixth and when the race went red on the 31st lap Forsberg found himself in fourth as two drivers inside the Top-Five got together.

As the action resumed, Forsberg continued to chase after Day as well as Justin Sanders as he looked for a spot on the podium but running out of time during the four lap sprint to the finish, Forsberg capped the night off with a fourth place finish.

“Obviously we want to win, but I am extremely happy with how things went, and we will try again this week,” Forsberg said. “Thanks to Brian, Paul, and everyone that continues to help us night in and night out.”

BY THE NUMBERS: Races-32, Wins-4, Top 5’s-18, Top 10’s-22

ON TAP: Forsberg gets right back to work on Wednesday night in Chico, CA,

Mallett Riding Momentum Into Riverside International Speedway This Saturday

Inside Line Promotions - GREENBRIAR, Ark. (Aug. 19, 2024) - Jordon Mallett will make his third visit of the season to Riverside International Speedway this Saturday.

Mallett's best outing at the track in West Memphis, Ark., this season is a fifth-place result on May 11 during the Hooker Hood Classic.

"It's one of those places I've always enjoyed going to," he said. "I've been fortunate to have quite a bit of success there. I look at this weekend as a tune-up for the big race there in September so we have a few things we want to try."

The bullring is a track where Mallett produced feature victories each year between 2013 and 2017.

"I feel we're a contender any time we pull through the pit gate," he said. "I have a lot of confidence going there because I know we have speed there for the most part. There's been a few nights that have thrown us curve balls. The track has changed quite a bit from a few years ago when I felt we were one of the better cars. I feel we can still be a little bit better there sometimes."

Mallett enters the race with three feature triumphs in his last six starts this season.

"I really feel like the confidence and momentum is on our side and that's how I intend to keep it," he said. "We have a really good balance right now. We have a good package and we're always trying to fine-tune it. It's really good to be running well and my confidence in the seat is helping us to be willing to try some things to get even better. I feel we've done a good job of executing this season and I'm eager to get back to Victory Lane."

16 races, 4 wins, 9 top fives, 13 top 10s, 14 top 15s, 16 top 20s

Starks Returning to Racing Saturday at Skagit Speedway After Special Week

Inside Line Promotions - PUYALLUP, Wash. (Aug. 19, 2024) - Trey Starks is enjoying his new title: father.

Starks and his wife, Ally, recently welcomed their first child into the world. The special life moment kept Starks out of his sprint car for last Saturday's race at Skagit Speedway in Alger, Wash., where long-time friend Dominic Scelzi drove his car to a second-place finish in the 360ci winged sprint car feature and an eighth-place result in the 410ci winged sprint car main event.

"We want to thank Dominic for flying up to race our car in both divisions," Starks said. "It kept us in a good position in the points standings while I focused on a special moment with my family."

Starks continues to lead the Skagit Speedway owner standings in the 410 division. He leads both the owner and driver standings in the 360 division.

Starks plans on returning to action at Skagit Speedway this Saturday during the track's final 410 sprint car race prior to the famed Sage Fruit Skagit Nationals featuring the Kubota High Limit Racing series the following weekend.

"I'm excited to get back behind the wheel this Saturday for our final tune-up race before the Skagit Nationals," he said. "We've ran well this year and with big High Limit races at Skagit and at Grays Harbor in the next couple of weeks our goal is to go into them hitting on all cylinders."

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Post Two Podiums During FENDT Jackson Nationals at Jackson Motorplex

Inside Line Promotions - JACKSON, Minn. (Aug. 19, 2024) - Big Game Motorsports garnered a pair of podium results last weekend at Jackson Motorplex, which hosted the famed 46 th annual FENDT Jackson Nationals.

The two third-place outings gives David Gravel 35 top fives in 50 races this season and pushed his lead in the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series to 106 points.

The action began on Friday when Gravel set quick time during qualifying before he placed second in a heat race. A run from sixth to third place in the dash lined him up on the inside of the second row in the main event.

"I thought we had a really good race car there," Gravel said in a post-race interview on DIRTVision. "The track was slightly top dominant, but the lapped traffic really made it exciting. You could run the bottom groove there. On that restart Logan (Schuchart) chose to go high, and I just stayed low like (Carson) Macedo. And (Schuchart) just kind of ran defensive down there and bottled us both up and Sheldon (Haudenschild) got around us. I would've loved to have the opportunity to run second there and then in lapped traffic I thought Sheldon had an opportunity to win the race. But man, those lapped cars were not getting off the top, and it was kind of hard to pass them sometimes. I'm really, really happy with the car."

Gravel was strong once again on Saturday during the event finale. He timed in fifth quickest and won a heat race. Gravel was victorious during his opening round of the King of the Hill before losing the finale by less than three hundredths of a second. That gave him the outside front row starting position in the feature.

"The top of (turns) one and two was pretty good early on, but the top of (turns) three and four wasn't," he said. "I felt like I was right there on (Donny Schatz's) right rear, but I just wasn't able to get around him. I feel like that would've changed our race a lot there. Donny was good through lapped traffic. I just feel like in the middle of that race I kind of struggled to find a place in (turns) one and two where I felt good."

Next up is a trip to North Dakota with World of Outlaws races this Friday at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks during the Gerdau Presents the 2 nd Leg of the World of Outlaws Northern Tour and Saturday at Red River Valley Speedway in West Fargo during the Gerdau Presents the World of Outlaws Duel in the Dakotas.

Additionally, Big Game Motorsports offers its condolences to the family and friends of long-time World of Outlaws official Eloy Gutierrez, who passed away on Monday.

Schatz back on top in Jackson Nationals; Homeward bound to North Dakota
ByTyler Altmeyer
Aug 19, 2024

2024 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series Standings: 2nd | 6258 (-106)

Dates: Friday and Saturday, August 16th-17th
Event: Jackson Nationals
Series: World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series
Track: Jackson Motorplex (Jackson, Minnesota)
Donny Schatz A-Main Finishes:
Friday: 10th (14th)
Saturday: 1st (1st)

BROWNSBURG, Ind. (August 19, 2024) – Two nights at the Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minnesota, resulted in back-to-back top-ten appearances for Donny Schatz and Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing, highlighting the pair with a perfect 35-lapper in the $25,000-to-win finale on Saturday, August 17. Schatz, now a four-time winner with the Greatest Show On Dirt in 2024, started from the pole position Saturday night, forced to fend off Wooster, Ohio’s Sheldon Haudenschild in the closing circuits for the five-figure payday.

The 46th Annual Jackson Nationals triumph was the second of Schatz’ storied career and his first since 2018, simultaneously increasing his 2024 top-ten tally to 40 in 46 point-earning starts.

“Man, on the racetrack you could go everywhere. We could run the bottom and the top. I ran in the middle there at the end. I kind of knew I needed to keep my tires underneath me. I was kind of hanging off of (Turn) 4. I don’t know what was going on up there, but that’s my own fault. I asked to get really tight, and sometimes you pay the price when you get over that crown that way.”

As noted, Schatz earned back-to-back top-tens in his Jackson Nationals visit, opening competition with a four-spot rally to tenth on Friday, August 16.

“All I can say is if you’re a fan, it’s a good time to be alive,” Schatz said. “These kids, I criticize them a lot, there’s no question. But it makes me damn proud to race with guys like Sheldon and Carson (Macedo) and see what’s happening because not only are they awesome, but they make the old guys like me even better. And that’s what this is all about. Happy to steal one from them tonight, that’s for sure.”

ON DECK:
Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing and Donny Schatz will continue their 2024 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series campaign with a North Dakota doubleheader at River Cities Speedway (Grand Forks, ND) on Friday, August 23, and Red River Valley Speedway (West Fargo, ND) on Saturday, August 24.

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (August 19, 2024) – Another busy August weekend resulted in another stack of accomplishments for Scotty Thiel and Team 73, continuing their 2024 agenda with a two-state tripleheader on Friday through Sunday, August 16-18. The team ultimately joined MOWA on Friday before resuming IRA Outlaw Sprint Series action on Saturday and Sunday.

Thiel, a full-timer with IRA in 2024 and three-time winner, was third in his respective dash to earn the aforementioned third-row starting position.

Nearly matching his top-ten outcome from one night prior, Thiel and Team 73, backed by Gibbsville Cheese, Professional Plating Inc, Ludwig & Sons Trucking, Total Restoration Services, Scott Thiel Builders, Lift Pro, Schmidts Landscaping, Complete Water, Iron Buffalo Saloon, GRP Motorsports, Lake Home Retreats, Elliott Family, and Diamond Pools, concluded their sweep with an 11th-place score on Sunday at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, cutting a tire early before recovering.

“Just one of those weekends. We had some high points, but not where we wanted to be,” Thiel explained. “Happy for Team 73 regardless. It’s been an up and down season for us, but the work never stops. Not sure of our plan for the coming weekend. We have some things to catch up on before the IRA schedule resumes Labor Day weekend, so we’ll see what happens.”

ON DECK:
Scotty Thiel and Team 73 will resume IRA action with a Labor Day Weekend doubleheader at the Plymouth Dirt Track and The Hill Raceway on Saturday and Sunday, August 31 and September 1.

Ryder Memorial Postponed One Week, and Championships Will Be Decided

(Franklin, PA August 18, 2024): The Ryder Memorial for the BRP Modified Tour and the 21st Century Energy Group Modifieds was postponed at Tri City Raceway Park due to forecasts of severe thunderstorms and rain. The event will be made up this Sunday, August 25.

“We had to be considerate of the travel time and costs that many of the competitors would face,” said track owner Josh Shiffer. “So, we made an early announcement on the fate of the program.”

“Because August 25 was set to be a Sunday Thunder event, it was easy for us to slide the Ryder Memorial back a week,” he added. The extended forecast looks good, so this important event should be held under favorable conditions.

In addition to the Ryder Memorial, next week’s racing will decide the point championships for the Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars and the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks. Both classes will go down to the wire and the titles will be determined by the finishes that the racers compile in heat races and their feature events.

The 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprints will not be in action on August 25 due to a schedule conflict. In their place, the RUSH Sportsmen Modifieds will compete.

The Pit gates will open at 2 p.m. and the spectator gates will open at 4 p.m. Racing will start at 6 p.m. This will be the second Fan Appreciation Night, with discounted general admission.

Also, plan to attend the first ever American Big Rig Race on October 19. The Mini Stocks will also be on that card.

Remember that you will need to check the Facebook page, Tri City Raceway Park, for current information. The former website is not updated and will soon be replaced.

Doran Binks’ SwansonFinishes Second
In Mission Foods No. 77 on Saturday
In Bettenhausen 100 at Springfield
And Still Leads USAC Silver Crown Point Standings

SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Aug. 18 — Doran Binks Racing and driver Kody Swanson recorded their best dirt-track finish of the 2024 USAC Silver Crown season to date with their Mission Foods No. 77 when they placed second in the 61st running of the Bettenhausen 100 Saturday on the 1-mile track at the Illinois State Fairgrounds.

Swanson qualified second with a time of 31.974 seconds, only 0.333 off the 31.641-second lap that Justin Grant turned to earn the pole. Grant led all 100 laps of the race, which attracted the largest field so far this season with 40 entries. But with the runner-up finish Swanson and Doran Binks Racing still lead the driver and entrant point standings with four races remaining in the 14-event season.

Unofficially Swanson and Doran Binks Racing lead Grant and Hemelgarn Racing 608 to 587. In the driver standings Seavey is currently third followed by C.J. Leary and Kaylee Bryson.

Shane Cottle, who started fourth in Saturday’s race, was able to get by both Swanson and third-place starter Trey Osborne on the first lap to slot into second place. That set up a battle royale as Swanson tried his best to regain the position with the No. 77, which is a Maxim chassis with a Hampshire Chevy engine.

Steve Gennetten (17th) and Korey Weyant (19th) made contact in Turn 3 with two laps down and Gennetten flipped, which brought out a red flag. Neither driver was hurt but they were both out of the race, and several other drivers reported to the work area at that time with various mechanical issues.

The restart was single file, not double file like the original start, and the top five of Grant, Cottle, Swanson, Jerry Coons Jr. and Brady Bacon remained the same with three laps in the books. Logan Seavey passed Bacon for fifth on lap six and Coons for fourth on lap 11 to put himself right behind Swanson as the field made its way around the historic track, with the state fair’s carnival rides flanking part of the speedway for a picturesque summertime scene of traditional Americana.

The right-rear tire of Chase Stockon’s car shredded to bring out a yellow on lap 15 and drop him out of the top 10, although he rebounded to finish tenth. That yellow lasted two laps.

Swanson tried his best to get around Cottle and he came very close numerous times, drawing up just two- or three-tenths of a second behind him. On lap 30 Grant led by 0.749 seconds over Cottle, while Swanson was 0.225 behind Cottle and 0.634 ahead of Seavey. Swanson set and reset his fastest race lap numerous times as he tried to find a way by Cottle while keeping Seavey at bay.

Their intervals had widened a bit by the halfway point, when Grant had a 1.059-second lead over Cottle while Swanson was 0.568 of a second behind Cottle and 0.896 ahead of Seavey.

With 40 laps to go Grant’s lead was 1.767 seconds. Swanson was hounding Cottle, only 0.133 of a second behind, while Seavey was 1.699 seconds behind Swanson’s car, which is sponsored by Wilke Orthodontics and Glenn Farms in addition to Mission Foods.

Swanson had just bettered his fastest race lap on lap 62 when Cottle’s engine blew in Turns 3 and 4. That vaulted Swanson to second, but he knew first-hand the disappointment that Cottle felt since the same thing had happened to Swanson less than 24 hours earlier when his engine blew at World Wide Technology Raceway while he was leading with 58 of 60 laps complete.

Although there was no caution flag for Cottle, there was one for another Shane, Shane Cockrum, who also had an engine let go while he was running sixth to bring out the final yellow flag on lap 69. That yellow erased Grant’s 1.961-second lead over Swanson, and Swanson’s 1.859-second advantage over Seavey. Seavey, Coons (fourth), and Bacon (fifth) had all run their fastest laps of the race on lap 68 before the yellow came out.

Grant was able to maintain his lead after the restart, although Swanson set his fastest lap of the race on lap 79 with a time of 32.442 seconds. It was the third-fastest lap anyone ran. Bacon set the fastest lap on lap 81 with a 32.418, while Grant was second-fastest with a 32.423 on lap 77.

Swanson was less than a second behind Grant in the late stages of the race through lap 88, but then the interval increased to a second as they encountered lapped traffic. At the checkered Grant was more than 3 seconds ahead of Swanson, who was 1.825 seconds ahead of Seavey. Coons and Bacon rounded out the top five.

“We’ve been trying to get better on the dirt, and I’m proud of my guys,” Swanson said after the race. “Justin is a smart racer and he put one over on us, but I’m thankful for everyone on the Doran Binks team for all their hard work and for the support of our sponsors like Mission Foods, Wilke Orthodontics, and Glenn Farms. It’s been good.”

The next event is at the Du Quoin State Fairgrounds in Du Quoin, Ill., on Aug. 31. Then the series goes back to Doran Binks Racing’s home state of Ohio to race at Eldora Speedway Sept. 20-21. A show rained out earlier in the year will be made up at Terre Haute, Ind., on Oct. 6, and the season finale is at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park in Brownsburg, Ind., on Oct. 19, not far from Swanson’s home in Indianapolis. He is a native of Kingsburg, Calif.

Doran Binks’ SwansonSets Fastest Lap Ever Run
By a Traditional USAC Silver Crown Car
But Engine Blows Just Short of Victory at WWTR

MADISON, Ill., Aug. 17 — Doran Binks Racing’s Kody Swanson set several new records Friday in USAC Silver Crown competition at World Wide Technology Raceway, but unfortunately the engine expired in the Mission Foods No. 77 just two laps from victory in the 60-lap race while he had a 3.804-second lead. He ended up 12th in the official rundown of the Ranken Technical College Silver Crown Showdown Presented by Welsch Heating and Cooling.

Earlier in the day Swanson won the pole and bettered his own track record at the 1.25-mile, paved oval by over 2 miles per hour when he topped qualifying with a lap in 30.239 seconds for an average speed of 148.814 miles per hour. That extended his series record for the driver with the most pole positions in history to 53. What’s more, it was the fastest official lap turned in a traditional USAC Silver Crown car ever. It was the team’s sixth pole so far this year.

Swanson also topped the only practice session with a 30.626-second lap to begin the day’s competition with the No. 77, which is also sponsored by Glenn Farms and Wilke Orthodontics.

He also set the fastest lap of the race with a lap in 31.148 seconds while he was leading. Dakoda Armstrong, who ended up winning the race, was second in that category and Justin Grant, who finished second in the race, set the third-fastest lap. All three set their fastest laps on lap 45.

Swanson led at the initial drop of the green flag for the race, but the caution came out almost immediately when some of the track’s lights went out on the frontstretch and Turn 1. There were no laps in the books. That yellow turned into a red and there was over a 20-minute delay before the race could be restarted.

Bobby Santos III had qualified second but he had to go to the rear when his car needed assistance to fire. That put C.J. Leary in second and Armstrong third for both starts.

Armstrong got the edge on the complete restart and led the first 41 laps with Swanson in hot pursuit. Leary ran third initially, but Armstrong and Swanson were able to spurt away from the pack. Armstrong led by over a second by lap six and over 2 seconds by lap nine. Swanson was working hard to catch him, however, and by lap 23 he was just 1.083 seconds behind the leader. Two laps later the interval between the top two was just 0.542 seconds, while Leary was 3.855 seconds behind Swanson in third.

Swanson ran Armstrong down. On the next lap (lap 26) Swanson was just 0.290 seconds behind him. He mounted a serious challenge for four laps, but couldn’t make a pass stick and by lap 30 Armstrong’s advantage was back to 0.825 seconds.

Swanson kept focused and he kept flying. He again methodically cut into Armstrong’s lead, and by lap 36 he was right behind him again, only 0.331 seconds back. He bettered his best lap regularly around lap 40, and on lap 42 he edged under Armstrong in Turn 2 to take the lead.

Once in front, Swanson was able to immediately increase his advantage. He was already 0.496 seconds ahead of Armstrong by lap 43, and he was over 1 second ahead by lap 48 and 2 seconds ahead by lap 51.

He was 3.804 seconds ahead when the engine blew in Turn 3 with 58 laps complete. White smoke inundated the cockpit but Swanson was able to keep the car off the wall and spun low in Turn 3 to bring out the only yellow since the complete restart at the beginning of the race.

Armstrong led the last two laps to win, with Grant second. Both said their cars were nearly out of fuel at the end.

It was a good points day for Grant, who is second to Swanson in the point standings. Going into the race Swanson led by 55 points; after the race his lead was 30. Swanson has 541 points and Grant has 511.

Kaylee Bryson passed Leary on the last lap for third place. Leary finished fourth and Santos rounded out the top five.

The next USAC Silver Crown race is tomorrow (Saturday, Aug. 17) on the dirt track at the Springfield (Ill.) State Fairgrounds.

Swanson is a native of Kingsburg, Calif., who now lives in Indianapolis. Doran Binks Racing is headquartered in Lebanon, Ohio.

The USAC Silver Crown series’ races are streamed live by Flo Racing.

CRSA BEGINS THE DANDY TRIPLE PLAY THIS WEEKEND

Press Release By: Marty Czekala

The A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints powered by Super Gen Products kick off the Dandy Triple Play this weekend at Outlaw Speedway Friday and Woodhull Raceway Saturday.

Friday’s race at Outlaw Speedway was initially scheduled for June 21 but was postponed due to rain. It is the seventh time CRSA has made the trip to “The Baddest Dirt Track on the Planet.” Last year, current series points leader Tomy Moreau won his second career race.

Saturday is also the seventh time CRSA has pushed off at the Woodhull Raceway. In six races at “New York’s Toughest Bullring,” the series has seen six different winners. Last year, Jordan Hutton took the checkered flag en route to victory lane.

Here’s a look at the stories entering the weekend.

Last Week: CRSA returned to Thunder Mountain Speedway Aug. 10 for the third round of the Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series.

Kyle Pierce came from the fourth position and passed Billy VanInwegen underneath with eight to go to score his second win of the season.

This was a memorable win for "The Flyin’ School Teacher” as students of his fourth-grade class at Spencer-Van Etten were in attendance to watch him race.

“I hope they come back with us," said Pierce in victory lane. “If you told me I was gonna do that, I wouldn't believe you."

Billy VanInwegen finished runner-up, while Emily VanInwegen finished third.

Points Standings: With his win last Saturday, Kyle Pierce trimmed his points lead in the series championship to 26 on Tomy Moreau, who is still looking for his first win of the season after a fifth-place finish last night. Dalton Herrick also looks to close in, as he is now 28 points back on Moreau with a fourth-place run last weekend.

Blake Warner, 71, back on the leader, is in a battle for fourth with Ron Greek, the latter 11 behind Warner.

The top 10 are John Cunningham, sixth; Jordan Hutton, seventh; Adam Depuy, eighth; Jerry Sehn Jr., ninth; and Cliff Pierce, 10th.

A New Series: This Friday kicks off the Dandy Triple Play. This three-race series travels to Outlaw and Woodhull, both tracks near a local Dandy convenience store.

Dandy is a complete, convenient store with excellent food service and a large selection of fuel. With over 60 locations in the Southern Tier of New York and Northern Pennsylvania, Dandy's mission is to ensure that every customer receives courteous service while providing quality products at a fair price in a safe environment.

To celebrate the first race, the top three Friday and Saturday will receive gift cards to Dandy.

Are you heading to the race at Outlaw? Eat at Dandy, down the road from the track on 53 Water St. CRSA recommends the chicken and waffle sandwich and the brisket special.

Last Time at Outlaw & Woodhull: Last time at Outlaw, Tomy Moreau held off Dillon Paddock and Dalton Herrick to score his second career CRSA win.

In the feature, Moreau and Paddock would go to war in the opening laps, trading slidejobs, with Paddock taking the lead. Moreau would get a good restart before the halfway point and pass the No. 8, whose car wasn’t the same in dirty air. Herrick took advantage of it, closing in on "The Canadian Kid" at a point, but it wasn’t enough as Moreau picked up his second win of 2024, the last time he took the checkers.

Last year at Woodhull, Jordan Hutton took advantage of a Moreau mishap on lap seven to take the lead and beat Scott Landers to the line to win. It was one of the five wins that the No. 66 recorded.

Due Up: Tomy Moreau continues to control the 2024 overall season with five top fives and six top 10s but has yet to find victory lane. Could this weekend be the time?

Moreau last won at Outlaw on July 6, 2023, and knows how to get it done. As for Woodhull, Moreau led the first six laps before a flurry of restarts on lap seven and Moreau lost grip to bring out a yellow.

Moreau looks to better his best finish of the season, a third at Land of Legends back July 4.

By the Numbers: Outlaw has seen five winners, with Darryl Ruggles as the only repeat winner in 2014 and 2016. Dalton Herrick, in fact, joins Ruggles as the only active CRSA driver to have multiple top fives here.

For Woodhull, Billy VanInwegen, John Cunningham and Jeff Trombley are the only active drivers with multiple top fives at two. In six different races, Woodhull has yet to see any repeat winners. The most recent winners currently racing are Jordan Hutton and Trombley.

From the Frontman: “We’re ready to start a new miniseries with the Dandy Triple Play. It’s been a long time in the making, but we want to thank Paul Harkenrider and the entire Dandy team for supporting the CRSA Sprints in 2024. It will be great to head there before race night Friday!” ~ Mike Emhof

From the Track Promoters: “It doesn’t happen very often that both parties have an opening in their respective schedules to re-book a rained-out event, but we lucked out on this one as both Outlaw and CRSA had this coming Friday, Aug. 16, open for their return engagement." ~ Tyler Siri, per Outlaw Speedway’s press release

“We are very excited to have the 305s back at Woodhull. Woodhull's high banks are unique and take some extra TLC to master the setup.” ~ Nikki and Terry Brewer, Woodhull Raceway

Up next: CRSA gets set for its inaugural trip to Brewerton Speedway Aug. 23.

SETH DYER MAKING HIS SECOND 2024 PERRIS YOUNG GUN SPRINT CAR START THIS SATURDAY

(Yucca Valley, CA, August 13, 2024) Seventeen-year-old Seth Dyer will make his second 2024 appearance in the Perris Auto Speedway Young Gun Sprint Car Series this Saturday night, August 17th. The race comes three weeks after his last outing when he placed fifth in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series main event at the Santa Maria Speedway.

Saturday’s show will be the third time the Yucca Valley, California, driver has raced a full-size sprint car. The first came on September 20th, 2023. On that night, the youngster shocked everyone, looking totally comfortable in a much larger and more powerful car than he had ever driven before. He steered the restricted 410 to a fifth-place finish in the main. His only appearance in the car this year was at the Salute to Indy at Perris on May 25th. That evening he came home fourth in the feature.

Seth’s last CLS outing was at Santa Maria on July 27th. The confident teen ripped a lap of 14.560 in qualifying. That was the fourth quickest in a 15-car field that, in addition to the CLS regulars, also featured some big guns from Northern California’s Bay Cities Racing Association. After a fourth-place result in his heat race, the high school student started the 20-lap main event in sixth. He advanced one spot forward to finish fifth. It was his third top-five with the CLS in 2024.

That night, Seth left Santa Maria with 894 points. That leaves him a mere 10 points out of fourth and only 49 points out of third going into the next CLS race at the Bakersfield Speedway on September 13th.

Seth’s father, Jeff, who suffered a concussion and a broken arm in a wild crash at Perris on July 13th, reported on Tuesday that his recovery was going slow but well, and is getting better each day. Being that he is out for the foreseeable future, he has announced that USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series star AJ Bender of San Diego will be in his #4 lightning sprint car for three upcoming races. All three will be in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series. The first will be shown worldwide when the CLS joins the World of Outlaws at the Bakersfield Speedway on September 13th. Twenty-four hours later, Bender will steer the powerful #4 at the beachside Ventura Raceway. The third race will be at the Merced Speedway on October 4th.

To see Seth in action on Saturday, spectator gates at the west’s nicest half-mile clay oval will open at 5:00 PM, and the first race will be at 7:00. Adult tickets are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6-12, it is only $5.00, and children 5 and under are free. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking.

Perris Auto Speedway is conveniently located on the freeway close Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the City of Perris.

In 2024, the following marketing partners will help keep the Dyers on track. Dependable Machine Inc., Haircuts By Susie, Jobu Racing, LBA Investigations, Straight Time Stirrups, Justice Brothers, Fonseca Racing, Specialty Fasteners, and Blud Racing Lubricants. If you would like to be a part of Dyer Motorsports in 2024, call (760) 550-7237 or send an email to mailto:dyermotorsports4@gmail.com.

Jeff is racing in memory of his grandparents, Glenn, and Beverly Sels, throughout the 2024 season.

EDDIE TAFOYA JR HEADS TO PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY FOR SATURDAY’S USAC/CRA RACE

(Chino, CA, August 14, 2024) After a month away from the racetrack, Eddie Tafoya Jr. will climb back into his gorgeous #51T Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car for Saturday’s Brother Brett Classic at Perris Auto Speedway. It will be his first race back on the track since July 27th.

After 11 of the 23 races on the 2024 USAC/CRA schedule, Tafoya, who calls Chino Hills, California home, sits ninth in the championship standings. Over the last six series starts, the 27-year-old has finished ninth or better every time. His best result came when he placed fourth at Kevin Harvick’s Kern County Raceway on June 8.

Tafoya’s season at Perris got off to a rocky start in the first two races. In the season opener in February, he was on the verge of breaking into the top five on lap nine when he was blasted from behind on the front straightaway. The blow sent him careening into the inside wall, causing front-end damage that knocked him out of the race. Three weeks later, at The PAS, he was racing inside the top 10 when a steering issue sent him into the turn three wall, ending his night.

Since the first two races, things have gone much better for Tafoya at Perris, the track that is located closest to his Chino Hills, California home. In the last four races at the track, he has placed in the top 10 every time. He finished ninth on April 27th and then recorded back-to-back eighth-place results at the Salute to Indy on May 25th and on June 22nd. His best finish of the year at Perris came five weeks ago when he took the checkered flag in seventh place.

In addition to contesting the USAC/CRA Series, Tafoya, the 2018 Perris Auto Speedway Young Guns Champion and the 2019 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year, is also a regular in the Ultimate Sprint Car Series presented by Inland Rigging. He is currently sixth in USCS points, and his overall best result of 2024 came in the USCS race at Santa Maria on June 15th when he finished second.

To see Tafoya and the remainder of the USAC/CRA stars in action on Saturday at Perris, spectator gates will open at 5:00 PM, and racing will commence at 7:00. Adult tickets are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6-12, it is only $5.00, and children 5 and under are free. Advance tickets are available online at https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7/event/1366772 or by calling 1-800-595-4849. For those who do not wish to buy advance tickets, there will be plenty available for everyone at the ticket window on Saturday. Perris Auto Speedway is conveniently located on the freeway close Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the City of Perris. The track’s website is http://www.perrisautospeedway.com/ and the office phone number is (951) 940-0134.

Reinhardt Reflects on Tough Knoxville Nationals Week

Knoxville, IA – August 14, 2024

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

The stage doesn’t get any bigger for a 410 sprint car driver than the Knoxville Nationals. Every August well over one hundred of the best in the world descend upon the small town in Iowa to see how they measure up and to try to grab their share of the loot from the lucrative event.

In his third trip to the Nationals back in 2021, Kyle Reinhardt reached the B-main on Saturday night after a solid week of performances. To add to that achievement, the Neptune City, NJ native had entered the 360 Nationals the week before and came away with the Rookie of the Year award for that event.

It’s the toughest week of the year in sprint car racing and Reinhardt has lived the ups and downs since his first Nationals in 2017, reaching the Saturday night B-main two times.

Last week he was back again for the 2024 edition to take another shot at his first Nationals Saturday A-main in the Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers, Coors Banquet Beer, E-Z-GO Golf Cars, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.91. QUICK RESULTS

CAPPY SHAKEDOWN

Reinhardt unloaded a newly built No.91 for the Capitani Classic last Sunday aiming to shake it down at what is likely the most difficult one-day sprint car show to qualify for.

With 82 cars on hand, Reinhardt turned in the 34th quickest lap in Group B qualifying, then passed three cars to finish 9th in his heat race to move into the B-main.

From his 16th starting spot in that last-chance race, Reinhardt looked very racy. He charged up to 7th before a late-race slip dropped him to a 9th-place finish. While he did not advance to the A-main, it was a productive night settling into the new car.

“We had a really good car there in the B-main. I missed my mark just a little bit going into (turn) one there with a couple of laps to go and that ended up costing me two spots but we learned some things about this car tonight, so we will take that.”, Reinhardt commented. THE NATIONALS

Thursday was qualifying night for Reinhardt and his team. His qualifying lap, 45th fastest in the field of 54 cars, was the beginning of a tough night. He struggled in his heat race and retired early from the C-main, officially finishing 11th.

Reinhardt was looking to hit reset and climb out of the hole the following night, Friday’s Hard Knox program. After qualifying 29th in Group 1, he logged a 6th-place finish in his heat race.

The car was decent in the heat race but after a few more adjustments, Reinhardt found himself in the B-main with the best car he had all week. He started 7th and needed to reach the top three to advance to the A-main.

He quickly raced into the top five and soon after, slipped into 4th and moved alongside the 3rd place car. Just as he did, the race was slowed for an incident, forcing him to restart in 5th since the lap had not been completed.

In the remaining laps, Reinhardt wasn’t able to build the momentum needed to get back within striking distance of a transfer spot. He settled for a 5th place finish.

“If that race had stayed green the whole way, I’m confident we had the car to transfer. That was the best we have been all week.”, Reinhardt said. “I think we solved an issue we have been fighting back home in PA too.”

At Knoxville, every spot matters. The competition is incredibly tight. Had Reinhardt made that transfer Friday night, he would have kicked off his Saturday night in the B-main but instead he started mid-pack in the C-main.

When the green flag dropped on the C-main Saturday night, it didn’t take Reinhardt long to figure out they just weren’t as good as they had been Friday night. He opted to park the No.91 early rather than spend resources. SUMMING IT UP

Qualifying is certainly a huge key to any team’s Knoxville Nationals week but the format does give teams a chance to claw their way back into the mix if they can improve their performance Friday on Hard Knox night.

Reinhardt had some momentum at the end of that Friday night program and was hoping it would carry him forward Saturday night but it didn’t unfold that way.

“I’m definitely disappointed in our performance.”, Reinhardt said. “We didn’t qualify well any of the nights we hit the track. We still had our chances though and we got much better Friday night but it was too little, too late.”

“We have already talked about next year and agreed we need to come out here for a race or two before the Nationals to prepare and put a good effort in. We have had some good years out here and we know we have the stuff to reach the A-main on Saturday.” UP NEXT

Reinhardt will take this weekend off, then return for a two-race weekend on August 23rd-24th.

Friday night he will compete at the famed Mechanicsburg, PA oval, Williams Grove Speedway, in the track’s Yellow Breeches 500 night. The following night the Neptune City, NJ native will enter the Kramer Klash at Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown, PA. SEASON STATS

August 14, 2024

(Hartford, OH)...Sharon Speedway is set for one its biggest races of the 95th anniversary season this Saturday night (August 17)! The 16th annual "Lou Blaney Memorial" will feature the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply "410" Sprint Cars and the BRP Tour for the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Big-Block Modifieds. Warmups will begin at 6:30 with p.m. with qualifying and racing to follow. 2023 NASCAR Cup Series Champion, Ryan Blaney, will be making an appearance!

The "Lou Blaney Memorial" will celebrate the life and accomplishments of the Hall of Fame driver, who won more than 600 feature victories during a five-decade career. The legend has at least 121 Modified wins and another 11 documented in a Sprint Car at Sharon alone. Blaney passed away in 2009 after battling Alzheimer’s. Not only does the event focus on remembering the late Lou Blaney, but also honors him by raising funds and awareness for Alzheimer’s and the Alzheimer’s Association.

This year's "Lou Blaney Memorial" event for the Sprint Car boasts a feature payoff $45,750 with $12,000 going to the winner and a whopping $1,200 to-start! It took 10 years, but there was finally a repeat winner for the Sprint Car portion of the event in 2018, and it was none other than track owner, Dave Blaney. In 2019, Dave's younger brother Dale captured his first event, while in 2020 year it was Dave's son-in-law, Cale Conley, winning his first!

Tony Stewart, won the inaugural event in 2009. Mike Lutz was the first local winner taking the 2010 version. Texan Sam Hafertepe, Jr. won in 2011, while five-time World of Outlaws Champion, Brad Sweet, was victorious in 2012. Jack Sodeman, Jr. became the second local driver to win the prestigious event in 2013, while Dave Blaney won his father’s memorial for the first time in 2014. Another WoO racer in Sheldon Haudenschild won the 2015 event. Pittsburgh’s Danny Holtgraver won the biggest race of his career in 2016. Christopher Bell, who has went on to NASCAR glory, won his first race at the track in 2017. Spencer Bayston became a new winner in 2021 before becoming a national touring driver. Ohio standout Cap Henry etched his name in the history books by winning in 2022. Last season saw two-time All Star Champion, Tyler Courtney, become the 14th different winner in 15 years!

Sharon has completed four "410" Sprint Car events thus far in 2024 with big car counts at each one. David Gravel topped a 45-car field for his first career Sharon win on May 18 in the first of two visits by the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars. On June 1, central PA invader Ryan Smith won the Western PA Speedweek event for the second time in four years as 46 cars were hand. Danny Dietrich, another member of the PA Posse, won the FAST-sanctioned Ohio Sprint Speedweek event on June 12 with 53 cars on hand! And most recently, Dale Blaney was victorious for the 21st time of his career at Sharon on July 27 winning the $4,000 event.

The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Big-Block Modifieds will make their fourth appearance of the 2024 season on Saturday night in a $2,500 to-win BRP Tour event. There have been 12 different winners in 15 “Lou Blaney Memorial” Modified events; however, it has been five years since a local was victorious.

New York legend Jack Johnson captured the inaugural 2009 race, while local Ohio drivers Jim Rasey and Rob Kristyak stole the thunder in 2010 and 2011. Kevin Bolland won the prestigious event in 2012 and fellow western Pa. racer Dave Murdick joined him in 2013. In 2014, Rex King, Jr. won the event part of his dream season, while in 2015 Jim Weller, Jr. added his name to the win list. Rasey became the first repeat winner in 2016. Jeremiah Shingledecker got his first event win in 2017, while New York’s Mike Maresca ended the locals’ run of eight straight event wins thanks to his victory in 2019. Five years after his first win, King, Jr. added his second event win in 2019. Erick Rudolph and Chad Brachmann became the third and fourth Empire State racer to be victorious in the event in 2020 and 2021 respectively. Rudolph became the event's third repeat winner by capturing the 2022 event. Last year saw another invader win as Mat Williamson of Ontario, Canada captured his first career Sharon Speedway victory.

The BRP Tour has completed five events this season with Rudolph winning three of them, while Williamson and King have also scored Series wins. Rudolph leads Garrett Krummert, King, Ayden Cipriano, and Tyler Willard in the points.

Thus far this season at Sharon, Rudolph has won in both of his visits for $4,000, while Cipriano captured his first career big-block win on June 1 worth $2,000. The driver that passes the most cars in the feature on Saturday night will receive a $100 Summit Racing Equipment gift card.

Braden Chiaramonte Scores First Career USAC/CRA Win

PETERSEN MEDIA: In a year of firsts for young Braden Chiaramonte, he added another first over the weekend. Battling with the USAC/CRA Series at Santa Maria Speedway, Chiaramonte scored his first career win with the series as he led all 30 laps in doing so.

“The Non-Wing season has definitely been tough at times this year, and a huge learning curve, but it feels really good to finally get my family car in USAC/CRA victory lane,” Chiaramonte said.

With 24 cars checked in at the recently revived Santa Maria Speedway near San Luis Obispo, CA, Chiaramonte got his night kicked off by timing in seventh fastest in qualifying time trials.

Lining up fourth in his heat race, the El Cajon, CA racer had his elbows up as he worked his way forward at the onset of the race. Picking up a couple of positions quickly, Chiaramonte settled into second where he went on to finish.

Moving into the 30-lap feature event, Chiaramonte found himself on the pole of the 30-lapper as he had his sights set on his first career series triumph.

In what was his seventh career series start, Chiaramonte mashed the gas when the green flag was displayed as he jumped out to the early lead and set an early pace around the 1/3 mile oval.

Leading the way over the likes of Kaleb Montgomery as well as Logan and Cody Williams, the youngster never wavered as he continued to hold command of the race.

After coming from last to first to win his first race of the season in Sprint Car Challenge Tour action earlier this summer, this one came a bit easier for him as he was able to fend off the challenges and lead every lap and score the win.

With the win, Chiaramonte becomes the 84th career winner with the series, as he now turns his attention back to winged race.

The Tiner Hirst Enterprise Racing team would like to thank Tiner Hirst Enterprise, Hepfner Racing Products, EMI, Fisher Racing Engines, System 1, Larry Davis Farms, and Slade Shocks for their continued support.

ON TAP: Chiaramonte is idle for the next two weekends before he heads back to Placerville Speedway in Placerville, CA on August 31st and September 1st for the Nor-Cal Posse Shootout.

Placerville Speedway

Placerville, CA…There have been a lot of questions regarding this Saturday’s Kubota High Limit Racing event at Placerville Speedway due to the recent Crozier Fire.

Russell Motorsports Inc. understands the importance of the fairgrounds as a community hub for staging emergency personnel and has been in contact with the El Dorado County Fairgrounds, Cal Fire, the Forest Service and other agencies.

With that said, the amazing firefighting efforts continue to gain containment and Placerville Speedway has been given the full GREEN LIGHT to hold this Saturday’s annual Gold Rush Classic.

A portion of the fairgrounds will still be occupied by personnel, which will slightly alter the normal parking and camping area.

Several shuttles will be running before and after the races to get fans back to their vehicles that are parked in and around the fairgrounds’ vicinity. We also recommend carpooling and/or using ride share services if possible.

Adjustments will also need to be made for camping at the event. For those who already have reservations, please call the fairgrounds to confirm your spot at 530-621-5860.

$4,037.00 BROTHER BRETT TROPHY DASH AWAITS THE USAC/CRA SPRINT CARS SATURDAY AT PERRIS

(Perris, CA, August 13, 2024) A track record trophy dash purse of more than $4000.00 awaits the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car drivers this Saturday night, August 17th, at the Brother Brett Classic at Perris Auto Speedway. As this piece went to press, the exact figure was $4,037.00. That total could rise before race night. In addition, the winner of the 30-lap main event will pocket $4,500.00. Spectator gates for the thrilling night of racing and clean family fun will open at 5:00 p.m. and the first race will take Steve Russell’s green flag at 7:00.

Saturday’s race salutes Brett Taylor, who passed away at the age of 66 on March 18th of this year. Affectionately known to everyone in racing as “Brother Brett,” he knew everybody, and everybody knew him. His friendly, funny personality endeared him to everyone he ever encountered, whether at a racetrack, with the local high school football team, the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office, or the Ventura County or L.A. County Fire Departments. Simply put, he was a loved individual.

“The racing world sorely misses Brett,” longtime friend and Perris Auto Speedway promoter Don Kazarian said. “He did not have a mean bone in his body, and he had a heart of gold. He had a friendly greeting for everyone, whether they knew him or not. He would come to the racetrack, and the first thing he would ask was what he could do to help. Brett lit up a room when he entered. If you were having a bad day and Brett would show up, he put a smile on your face. He was just an amazing man. We hope to see a lot of his racing friends on Saturday night.”

“So far, more than $4,000.00 has been donated for Saturday night’s Brother Brett Trophy Dash,” Kazarian continued. “That much money is pretty much unheard of for a trophy dash. Heading into Sunday night, the purse stood at $500.00. Then our Chris Holt put a note on Facebook saying the race could use some help. In a span of about 24 hours, Brett’s racing friends jumped in and donated over $3,500.00 extra for the dash so it stands at a little over $4,000.00 right now. It could grow to even more by Saturday. It is not just about the money, though. Winning a race dedicated to the driver’s friend will carry a lot of weight. ”

The Brother Brett Trophy Dash is not the typical trophy dash. And we are not just talking about the money. A long-time staple in auto racing, the trophy dash, which has become nearly extinct, matched the fastest four cars from qualifying for three or four laps. As racecars became more expensive, car owners and drivers were concerned that the reward was not worth the risk, and trophy dashes have disappeared from much of the racing landscape.

Besides the money, the format for Saturday’s dash is different. It is a Speedway Motorcycle Racing format. The fastest four drivers from qualifying will contest four three-lap races. They will line up in the traditional two rows. However, the positions will rotate for each of the races. Thus, each driver will start in every starting spot one time. The winner of each of the races will receive three points. Second will get two points, third will get one, and the car that finishes last will get a zero. At the end of the fourth race, the points will be tallied, and the driver with the highest total will receive the lion’s share of the money. If there is a tie for first, the drivers will come back to settle it with a two-lap runoff. If there is a tie for second or third, the drivers involved will split the combined payouts of those two spots.

“The crowd loves this format,” Kazarian said. “It goes by really fast and is very exciting and interesting. It has become a tradition to have it once a year for quite some time now. This year it falls on the Brother Brett Classic Night.”

The Brother Brett Trophy Dash is not the only place where extra money is up for grabs. On Monday, Kazarian took a call from Brett’s longtime friend, “Big Mike” Grosswendt of All Coast Construction. He is donating $1,000.00 to the winner of Saturday’s main event.

“Mike Grosswendt used to pick up Brett and bring him to the races at Perris,” Kazarian stated with a smile. “They were great friends. Mike has been a tremendous supporter of sprint car racing over the years. He got ahold of me on Monday and said he wanted to donate $1,000.00 to the winner of the Brother Brett Classic main event. That, along with the winner’s share of the main event purse and the $500.00 Avanti Windows and Doors bonus that goes to the winner at every USAC/CRA race, means the winner of Saturday’s 30-lapper will receive $4,500.00. The winner will get much more if he or she does well in the dash, too.”

In addition to the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Cars in the Brother Brett Classic, the GAS Chassis Young Gun Sprints, PAS Senior Sprints, and the PASSCAR Super Stocks and Street Stocks will be on hand Saturday. Adult tickets are $30.00. For seniors 65 and over, it is $25.00. Kids six to twelve get in for only five dollars, and children five and under are admitted free. The fairgrounds charge $10.00 for parking.

Advance tickets for all Perris Auto Speedway shows are available 24 hours a day online at https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7 or by calling 1-800-595-4849. For fans who do not wish to buy tickets in advance, there will be plenty available at the ticket window every race night.

Hagar Posts Podium Outings at Riverside International Speedway and Greenville Speedway

Inside Line Promotions - GREENVILLE, Miss. (Aug. 13, 2024) - Derek Hagar earned a podium result during each of the last two weekends.

Three has been the common number throughout three races in August as Hagar has placed third in a heat race two out of three times and third in the feature two out of three times.

"I need to get on up there and win," he quipped.

A home race on Aug. 3 at Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Ark., showcased Hagar advancing from sixth to third place in a heat race and from fourth to third place in the main event while driving a McCord Farms 305ci winged sprint car.

"We fought some handling issues early and had some mechanical woes," he said. "We fought for what we could and made it work to finish third. Marshall (Skinner) won so Mr. McCord had two cars in the top three."

Hagar tackled an ASCS Hurricane Area Super Sprints doubleheader at Greenville Speedway last weekend. He opened the action on Friday by placing third in a heat race before maneuvering from ninth to sixth place in the A Main.

"I got a couple of cars on the start," he said. "I lost brakes about halfway through. I kept having to pump them to make the car work because the track was heavy and choppy. We didn't have the best night, but there's nights like that."

The weekend concluded on Saturday with Hagar hustling from fourth to win a heat race. He started on the outside of the front row in the feature and finished third after leading the first nine laps, marking his ninth podium result in the last 11 sprint car starts.

"I was leading and got held up in traffic," he said. "They were pushing up and I turned to go underneath them. They turned down and I had to get on the brakes so Brad (Bowden) got by me. We had a restart and I tried to slide Brad. I jumped the cushion and got into the wall. That slowed my momentum up and allowed Chase (Howard) to get by me for second."

Hagar will be off this weekend before racing at Riverside International Speedway on Aug. 24.

QUICK RESULTS -

Aug. 3 - Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Ark. - Heat race: 3 (6); Feature: 3 (4).

Dominic Scelzi Gearing Up for Busy Weekend With High Limit and Trip to Washington

Inside Line Promotions - FRESNO, Calif. (Aug. 13, 2024) - Dominic Scelzi has been eagerly anticipating this time of the racing season for months.

The Kubota High Limit Racing series is competing along the West Coast for the next three weeks followed by three straight weekends of World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series races in California.

"I'm incredibly excited," Scelzi said. "This time of the year is something I look forward to every year. It's a lot of fun. It's very intense and it can bring out the best in you or the worst in you. Last year we had the best national swing we've ever had. This year we're running against two national series so I'm really looking forward to the challenge."

The High Limit Racing action begins on Thursday at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Calif., before heading to Kings Speedway in Hanford, Calif., on Friday.

"It's great racing at those tracks," Scelzi said. "It feels like you are going home. That's two places that have been good to me a lot more than they haven't. Those are probably my two favorite tracks in California."

Scelzi will hop on an airplane Saturday morning to venture to Washington to drive in two sprint car divisions for Trey Starks that night at Skagit Speedway in Alger.

"Trey and his wife are expecting their first child so it's awesome to be able to more or less repay the favor," he said. "When we were going to have a child I wasn't certain I'd be able to make the race so we brought Trey down. I was able to race it, but I was thankful he was able to do that. To be able to repay that favor means a lot."

SEASON STATS -

33 races, 3 wins, 12 top fives, 15 top 10s, 24 top 15s, 29 top 20s

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Record 12th-Place Result at Knoxville Nationals

Inside Line Promotions - KNOXVILLE, Iowa (Aug. 13, 2024) - Big Game Motorsports driver David Gravel moved forward every time he competed last week during the 63 rd annual NOS Energy Drink Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey's.

Gravel qualified eighth quickest to open his preliminary night at Knoxville Raceway last Wednesday. He then advanced from seventh to sixth place in a heat race and from seventh to fourth place in the B Main to garner the final transfer position into the feature with a last-lap pass.

Gravel charged from 24 th to 15 th in the A Main. His nine positions gained were the second most.

Once preliminary points were tabulated, Big Game Motorsports missed a lock-in spot into Saturday's main event by only six positions. That lined Gravel up on the outside of the third row in the B Main. He gained a trio of spots to finish third, earning a transfer into the 50-lap main event for the 12 th straight year that the event has been contested. Gravel continued passing in the feature as he rallied from 19 th to 12th. It was the fourth-most positions gained.

The 12th-place finish was Gravel's sixth-best outing during the event.

Another marquee event is on tap as the team heads to Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minn., this Friday and Saturday for the 46 th annual FENDT Jackson Nationals. Gravel enters with a 98-point lead in the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series championship standings.

Alex Pokorski paces strong Akright Auto Racing Team Plymouth Dirt Track effort

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 13, 2024 – The father-son driving tandem of Alex and Paul Pokorski and the members of the Akright Auto Racing Team turned in one of the best overall performances of the 2024 season with both drivers posting top-10 A-main showings in Plymouth Dirt Track Racing-Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car action at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, Aug. 10.

Alex Pokorski opened the evening by qualifying fifth overall in the 21-car PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car field after touring the third-mile clay oval in 12.680 seconds.

After lining up fourth in the third eight-lap heat race, the fifth-year PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car competitor slipped past Billy Kreutz on lap five en route to a third-place showing.

Following the 10-car invert, the West Bend driver started the 25-lap main event from the seventh starting spot. Alex took advantage of the smooth, wide and multi-groove racing surface to advance to fourth after sweeping past Tony Wondra on lap 10.

A restart on lap 14, pushed Alex back to fifth in the running order, where he finished the race won by Ben Schmidt. It was Alex’s third top-five main event finish and eighth top-10 showing in 12 MSA events contested thus far during the 2024 campaign.

Alex heads into the final four events of the 2024 PDTR 360 Sprint Car campaign second in the chase for the division title, 27 points behind point leader Ben Schmidt. “It was a lot of fun and the track was very racey,” Alex said. “I had a close call at the end when I hooked the cushion, which cost us a position or two. It ended up being a solid night.”

Paul Pokorski qualified seventh overall out of 21 PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car entries after turning in a lap of 12.743 seconds.

He started the first eight-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car heat race outside the front row before powering around polesitter Tony Wondra to take the lead in turn two of the opening lap.

The 32-year racing veteran held off T.J. Smith in the closing laps to wrap up his second heat race victory of the 2024 season.

The 2014 Midwest Sprint Car Association Masters Series champion took off from the fifth starting spot in the 25-lap PDTR-MSA A-main and held his own inside the top 10 throughout the event on the way to a 10th place showing, which marked his second top-10 A-main finish of the 2024 season in six events behind the wheel of Spyder Akright’s 53A car.

“I thought last night went okay,” Paul said. “It seemed like the most consistent night we’ve had so far this year. The car was pretty good for qualifying, but my laps could’ve been a little smoother. I thought the heat race went really well. In the feature, we could’ve been a touch better. Overall, I’m happy with the way things went. I think for running a part-time schedule, we’re doing alright. It takes a little longer to learn things and make progress when we only run some of the races. I have to thank Aaron and Fred Pederson and Dan Hoerig for all their hard work each week on the 53A car whether I’m driving or Spyder [Akright] is driving.”

The Alex Pokorski-Akright Auto Racing Team is gearing up for a doubleheader weekend of 360 and 410 Sprint Car racing competition. On Saturday, Aug. 17, Alex will compete with the Plymouth Dirt Track Racing-Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Cars at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis.

The program will include special guest appearances from the Midwest Legends Dirt Series and Street Stock divisions with the PDTR Grand Nationals and B Mods also featured.

Grandstand gates open at 4:30 p.m. with qualifying at 5:30 p.m. and racing at 6 p.m.

For those unable to attend, the event will be live-streamed on www.watchfye.tv.

One night later, Alex is scheduled to wheel the team’s 410 Sprint Car with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis. during the annual Corn Fest event.

The Badger Midgets will also be on the card. Spectator gates open at 4 p.m. with open ceremonies slated at 6 p.m.

The event will be available to view via live stream at Floracing.com.

TULLBORO AND FARRELL FINISH ON A HIGH
THE Tullboro team and Ryan Farrell combination completed their most recent North
Queensland Sprintcar adventure over the weekend, and despite some challenges along the
way, they managed to finish their Thunder in the Canfields campaign on a pleasing note.
Contesting the final two Thunder in the Canfields rounds last Friday and Saturday night at
Cairns Speedway, Farrell, aboard the Qld # 1 Wolf Contracting Australia supported Triple X
car, was in outstanding form, where he dominated Friday night’s feature race by leading the
entire 30-lap journey and then backed up that form by putting in a similar performance
during Saturday night’s feature race. In the process of these performances, Farrell managed
to set a new track record.
Despite finishing this year’s Thunder in the Canfields on a high, it wasn’t all plain sailing for
the Tullboro team and Farrell duo, after they were stuck down the previous weekend at
Cairns Speedway for the opening two nights with an issue. After ending night one fifth
highest in the point standings, the team and Farrell had a mechanical issue rear its head,
and it consequently saw them forced to miss taking their place in the feature-race field.
In between the two Thunder in the Canfields weekends, the Tullboro team worked hard on
resolving this mechanical issue, which was traced back to a faulty ignition, and they certainly
bounced back in the best possible way with Farrell in great form that led to them picking up
a clean sweep of the final two nights of the Thunder in the Canfields event.
Prior to the two weekends of the Thunder in the Canfields, the Tullboro team and Farrell
ventured to Mareeba Speedway, which is one hour inland of Cairns, for the King of Kerribee
event, and it resulted in the duo enjoying a solid performance, where they won the opening
of the twin-feature races and then later in the night finished just off the podium in fourth in
the second feature race, which was a full inversion of the finishing positions from feature
race # 1.
Tullboro team owner and crew chief Brodie Tulloch was really pleased, despite the
hardships, with their North Queensland campaign that saw them compete in five race
meetings over three weekends.
“This is the second time that Ryan (Farrell) and I have travelled up to North Queensland, and
we really enjoy the whole experience with the strong field of drivers and the great
hospitality shown to us by the locals for us visiting teams, especially from main rival Brodie
Davis and his car owner Leigh Holman who housed our car during our trip and allowed us
use of his workshop,” he said.
“It was very pleasing to finish our trip the way we did by winning the final two nights, and
Ryan and I really got a handle of things after the team’s misadventures from the opening
two nights in Cairns, and Ryan showed yet again that despite his veteran status he can still
well and truly wheel a Sprintcar to a high standard.”
The next outing for the Tullboro team is set to be with New Zealand star Michael Pickens for
the two-night Sprintcars Harbour City Thunda at Gladstone Speedway on September 20 and
21 that pays $10,000 to the winner each night.
The Tullboro team is currently working on securing a naming right’s corporate supporter for
the duration of the events running with Pickens. If anyone is interested, please message the
Tullboro team Facebook page for further details.

Dover Eager to Move Forward Following Frustrating Moment at Knoxville Nationals

Inside Line Promotions - KNOXVILLE, Iowa (Aug. 12, 2024) - Jack Dover showcased speed throughout the 63 rd annual NOS Energy Drink Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey's.

Dover drove for Tim Estenson Motorsports at the marquee event hosted by Knoxville Raceway last weekend, when a simple mistake proved costly.

Dover kicked off the event last Wednesday by qualifying sixth quickest. He placed eighth in a heat race and 10 th in the B Main. The team returned to the half-mile oval on Friday for Hard Knox Night and Dover continued to hone in. Out of 80-plus competitors, he qualified 10 th quickest in his group and placed second in a heat race to transfer into the main event. However, Dover didn't drive to the scales directly after the race and was disqualified.

"I've never had that in my entire career," he said. "I was so in a zone. I heard my two-way radio, but I couldn't tell you a word they said. I was pumped. I had figured the points I had and where we were sitting. We were going to have the best run I've ever had in my career at the Knoxville Nationals. I was thinking about the important things except the most important thing at that time.

"I'm very disappointed in myself. I've been doing this a long time to make a silly mistake like that. We probably would have started third or fourth row in the A Main. We've been trying this for 18 years and finally put ourselves in a good spot and I made a mistake that cost us our best run ever."

Dover hustled from 11 th to sixth in the C Main and from 21 st to 17 th in a B Main that night. He wrapped up the event the following night by charging from 17 th to 10 th in the D Main. It was the most positions gained in the race when no other driver passed more than two cars.

"I am very, very pleased with the speed we had," he said. "I was not expecting to have the speed and results that we had to be honest. The first night at Knoxville was my fourth night in a race car this season. We passed a ton of cars all week."

Dover will drive for Tim Estenson Motorsports this Friday at Midway Speedway in Lebanon, Mo.; Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo.; and Sunday at Missouri State Fair Speedway in Sedalia, Mo., during a POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints tripleheader.

"My expectations are high," he said. "I think we can run in the top three every night. After last week I feel great. Considering it was my fourth through sixth races of the season, we had really good speed and passed a lot of cars so that makes me feel really good."

QUICK RESULTS -

Aug. 7 - Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa - Qualifying: 6; Heat race: 8 (7); B Main: 10 (6).

Aug. 9 - Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa - Qualifying: 10; Heat race: DQ (1); C Main: 6 (11); B Main: 17 (21).

Mallett Produces Wins at Hattiesburg Speedway and Greenville Speedway

Inside Line Promotions - GREENVILLE, Miss. (Aug. 12, 2024) - Jordon Mallett has enjoyed a strong start to August with a pair of feature victories and four top fives in four feature starts.

Mallett was triumphant each of the last two weekends, scoring a USCS Series win at Hattiesburg Speedway in Hattiesburg, Miss., on Aug. 2 and an ASCS Hurricane Area Super Sprints triumph at Greenville Speedway last Friday.

"We've been working really hard in the shop while we had some time off," he said. "It was strange having several weeks off in the summer, but that's how the schedule played out. I'm glad to get back to work and that the hard work is paying off. I'm pleased with the direction everything has been headed."

Mallett won a heat race and hustled from sixth to second place in the dash before capturing the USCS Series main event from the outside of the front row on Aug. 2.

"Hattiesburg is a place I had a chip on my shoulder as we'd done everything but win there," he said. "We rolled in on Friday and I knew we could win. It was a matter of getting ourselves in a good position and we were really good right out of the box. We started second in the feature and took the lead the first lap and went uncontested for the whole race. I think we lapped up to fourth place. I thought I had set a moderate pace, but realized afterwards we set a very fast pace. That's always encouraging."

Mallett advanced from fifth to second place and won the dash the following night. He ended the feature with a runner-up result.

"We rolled into Saturday and picked up where we left off," he said. "It was kind of the same story with a super good race car. We won the dash and looking back that's what got us. I wish we would have ran second because the outside lane was taking off a lot better. I did all I could do to get a really good start, but I was beat by the time we got to the flagstand. I got up top and rode. I felt I had the best race car, but wasn't able to do anything with the leader on the top-dominant track."

The team ventured to Greenville Speedway last Friday for the opening round of a doubleheader. Mallett swept the night, winning a heat race from the outside of the front row before advancing from sixth to garner the main event triumph.

"We've been honing in our program and we unloaded really good," he said. "The track was super treacherous and tricky. We made the feature redraw and then I pulled the back of the redraw numbers so we started sixth in the feature. I tried to set my own pace and pick cars off as we got to them. I had a really good car and was able to work my way through there to pull off a win. We were good about anywhere we needed to go even though the top was dominant.

"I got the lead around Lap 18. I made it to second and ran the leader down. We started to get to traffic and I threw a slider at him. I started getting a chance to go to work on him. About the time I went into attack mode he broke or ran out of fuel and I just about smoked him on the straightaway. I almost junked both of us. His car woke back up and we raced down into the corner, but the same thing happened and he slowed to bring out a caution."

Mallett led the remainder of the race for his third triumph in his last five starts.

The weekend wrapped up on Saturday with Mallett maneuvering from fifth to second in a heat race and from fifth to fourth place in the A Main.

"I feel like we should have been better," he said. "We were a little bit off and the track was a little different than the night before. I knew we could run good on the top. The bottom was also there on Saturday. I only made it about six or seven laps down there before I jumped to the top. I got a real bad bounce going through a hole. I thought I was going to get upside down. When I hit the wall it broke the Jacob's Ladder. I managed to keep going, but knew our bid for the win was over. We were able to salvage a fourth-place finish. It was one of those moments that could have been a lot worse."

Mallett plans to take this weekend off before returning to action on Aug. 24 at Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Ark.

Aug. 2 - Hattiesburg Speedway in Hattiesburg, Miss. - Heat race: 1 (1); Dash: 2 (6); Feature: 1 (2).

Kaleb Johnson Captures First Career Knoxville Raceway Victory During 360 Knoxville Nationals

Inside Line Promotions - KNOXVILLE, Iowa (Aug. 12, 2024) - Kaleb Johnson achieved a life-long dream by not only winning at Knoxville Raceway, but doing it during the 360 Knoxville Nationals.

Johnson highlighted a career-best week and a half at 'The Sprint Car Capital of the World' by winning a preliminary night of the 34 th annual Xtream powered by Mediacom 360 Knoxville Nationals presented by Great Southern Bank on Aug. 1.

"Part of me felt it was a long time coming," he said. "We've ran 360s there for about five years. To do it at a moment like that was huge. It made me realize I'm very fortunate. It was really cool."

Johnson guided a Dennis Gainey owned race car to the 14 th quickest qualifying time. He then advanced from fourth to third place in a heat race and caught the pole position for the A Main. Johnson led all 20 laps for his first-ever victory at the track.

"The invert definitely helped and it was a good night to start on the pole," he said. "It also helped we had a really good car. I was able to maneuver through traffic and pick cars off as needed."

Johnson ranked eighth in overall event points following the preliminary nights, giving him the eighth starting spot in the A Main on Aug. 3. He battled inside the top 10 all night before ending a career-best ninth.

"I was a little bummed at first because I felt we had a fifth- or sixth-place car," he said. "It was really tough to pass. Trying to get by some cars I hurt myself. I got stuck spinning my tires trying to slide someone. All in all, a top 10 at the 360 Knoxville Nationals isn't anything to complain about."

Johnson shifted gears to drive for Aaron Long during the 410ci winged sprint car action at Knoxville Raceway last week. The team advanced from 12 th to sixth during a B Main at the Avanti Capitani Classic presented by Great Southern Bank on Aug. 4. Johnson opened the 63 rd annual NOS Energy Drink Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey's last Thursday with a run from 14 th to 11 th in the main event.

The breakout night came one evening later during Hard Knox Night as Johnson timed in ninth quickest in his group and won a heat race. He maneuvered from 13 th to eighth in the A Main.

"For when we went out and qualified it was a huge improvement from the night before," he said. "I felt pretty good. The track was more bottom dominant. We were up to seventh and I made a mistake clipping the berm, but other than that it was a good night. I was hoping to make the A Main to put ourselves in a decent spot for Saturday. For that team not racing there and it being their fourth race this year it shows how much speed their car has. We were all pleased the result."

The strong outing lined Johnson up on the outside of the seventh row in the B Main on Saturday. He quickly advanced inside the top 10 before the night ended early with a crash.

"I feel like every time we hit the track all week we got better," he said. "They were able to learn off me and I was able to learn off them. We kept getting better and more to my liking toward the end. I felt we had a very fast race car. I think it was a mistake on my part trying too hard. I knew we had a fast car. I drove it in the middle where there was some moisture. I caught a slick spot and it turned the car around.

"I'm grateful for the opportunity to drive for Aaron Long and his team as well as for Dennis Gainey and his team the week before. It was my best Knoxville Nationals in both divisions and was a lot of fun."

Johnson will return to his race car this weekend to compete Thursday through Saturday at Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minn., during the 46 th annual FENDT Jackson Nationals with the Gunderson Racing Inc. Midwest Sprint Touring Series 360 Sprint Cars and the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series.

Starks Selects Dominic Scelzi to Race for Team This Week as Family Grows

Inside Line Promotions - PUYALLUP, Wash. (Aug. 12, 2024) - Trey Starks has chosen Dominic Scelzi as a fill-in driver for this Saturday's event at Skagit Speedway.

Starks and his wife, Ally, are expecting their son to be born this week so the focus shifts to the growing family. Scelzi, a long-time friend, is flying in from California Saturday morning to drive for Starks in both the 410ci and 360ci winged sprint car divisions at the high-banked track in Alger, Wash.

"With everything that is going on it's best to bring someone else in and who better than Dominic," Starks said. "I did this for him essentially for his second kid even though he ended up still running. I can't think of anybody else I'd have do this."

Starks leads the 410 sprint car championship standings by 46 points and the 360 sprint car championship standings by 100 points.

"It's a race we can't miss," he said. "This is one of two or three weekends where they do this running both classes. I don't know if that (running the 360 division) was necessarily our goal to start. I guess if we weren't leading the 360 points it wouldn't be something we'd worry about. We've done so well in that class this year it's something we're sticking with. It'll be an exciting week all around."

Starks is the leading feature winner at the track this year as he has captured a division-best three 410 sprint car wins, a division-best four 360 sprint car victories and even a sportsman sprint car triumph.

Scelzi recently finished fifth at the track during the Bob's Burgers & Brew Summer Nationals - an event he won in 2023.

Tanner Carrick Scores 6th Win of 2024 Friday at Ocean Speedway

PETERSEN MEDIA: Making the trip to Ocean Speedway over the weekend to take part in the track’s Johnny Key Classic weekend, Tanner Carrick was dominant on Friday night as he scored his sixth win of the season before picking up a sixth place finish during Saturday’s Johnny Key Classic finale.

“Friday night we were really good, and if it wasn’t for a caution, I think we would have worked our way further up the back half of the field,” Tanner Carrick said. “The 360 program has been strong the last few weeks and with some big 360ci events coming up later on in the Fall it is a great feeling for us.”

Friday night, Carrick kicked the weekend off by timing the CVC/Cemex/CA Waterfowl backed No. 83T entry in 4thquickest in qualifying time trials.

Lining up on the front row of his heat race, Carrick did not let the prime starting position go to waste as he mashed the gas and powered his way to the important heat race win.

By way of his win, Carrick made himself eligible for the Trophy Dash where his two pill lined him up on the front row of the four-lap shootout. Getting the jump, the Lincoln, CA driver was able to race into the lead and never look back as he grabbed the win and earned the pole for the 30-lap feature event.

When the green flag was displayed to the field, Carrick continued to flex his muscle as he did all of Friday night. Getting the jump, Carrick quickly reached the back of the pack and began racing his way through the back of the field.

Not phased whatsoever by slower traffic, Carrick was able to pass cars at will as the laps continued to click off.

A late caution bunched the field back up, but Carrick was not to be denied on this night as he powered his way to his sixth feature event win of the 2024 season.

Back in action for one final race of the year at Ocean Speedway in Watsonville, CA, Carrick got off to another good start as he timed in 2nd fastest in time trials amongst the 27 cars that made their way to the track for the Johnny Key Classic.

Lining up in the second row of his heat race, Carrick raced to a second-place finish which locked him into both the feature event as well as the Trophy Dash.

Gridding the field from the second row in the Dash, Carrick slipped back to a fifth place finish which placed him in the third row for the Johnny Key Classic feature event.

As the race came to life, Carrick settled into fifth for the opening laps, before he moved into fourth on the 10th lap, and found himself on the podium by the halfway point as he commandeered the third position.

Running in third as the laps clicked down and the end of the race drew closer, Carrick slipped back to fourth on the 20thlap and was back to fifth on the 25th circuit.

Struggling to maintain his position in the last few laps of the race, Carrick fell back to sixth on the 27th lap where he went on to finish.

“Saturday night we were solid up until the midway point of the feature,” Carrick said. “We made good progress early then I couldn’t do much and lost a few spots. Still, good to get a win, and now I’m excited to get back in the 410ci car and race with the High Limit Series this week.”

BY THE NUMBERS: Starts: 41, Wins: 6, Top 5’s: 22, Top 10’s: 29

ON TAP: Carrick is slated to battle with High Limit Racing as the series makes it’s debut in CA this week. He is slated to compete in Tulare, CA on Thursday, Hanford, CA on Friday, and Placerville, CA on Saturday.

Ashton Torgerson Scores Pair of 7th Place Finishes in Sprint Car Action

PETERSEN MEDIA- Returning home to California to compete in his family owned winged 360ci sprint car with the scheduled midget races in PA rained out, Ashton Torgerson had a very consistent weekend as he picked up two seventh place finishes during two nights of action at Ocean Speedway in Watsonville, CA.

Kicking the weekend off on Friday night, Torgerson wasted no time shaking any sprint car rust off as he timed in second fastest in time trials after going out very late in the qualifying session.

Lining up in the second row of his heat race, Torgerson slipped back during the eight-lap race as he finished sixth and knocked himself out of Dash eligibility.

Still, locking into the feature event the Glendale, AZ pilot lined up in the 17th starting position with 30-laps to make a run through the field.

When the race came to life, Torgerson was slowly able to begin his march towards the Top-10. Racing into 14th just before the halfway point, Torgerson moved into 12th on the 16th lap.

Continuing to work around the immaculately prepared Ocean Speedway surface, Torgerson took over 10th on the 19th lap. Though time was running out, he continued to get better as the race drew on. Moving into 9th on the 20th lap, Torgerson then found himself up into the seventh position on the 21st lap.

Once in seventh, he settled in and capped Friday night off with the Top-10 finish.

Returning to the track on Saturday night for another night of winged 360ci sprint car action, Torgerson again timed in well as he stopped the clocks sixth quickest of the 27 drivers that had checked into the pit area for the Johnny Key Classic.

Lining up on the front row of his heat race, Torgerson got the jump and took control of the race. Leading from flag to flag, Torgerson picked up the win and earned a spot in the Trophy Dash.

Drawing the one for the Dash redraw, Torgerson led the field to green for the 4-lap shootout to set the first four rows of the ‘A’ Main event.

Finishing second, the Xtreme Outlaws Midget Series regular was on the fornt row of the 31-lap feature event as he started alongside Bud Kaeding.

When the race went green, Torgerson slipped back to third, but was back into second by the fifth lap. Running well with the lead pack of cars, Torgerson continued to battle for second and third until he slipped back to fifth on the 14th lap.

After slipping back, the youngster continued to look for a way back forward but opened himself up and fell back as far as eighth as he worked around the coastal bullring.

Battling between seventh and eighth for the final six laps of the feature event, Torgerson was able to secure seventh on the final lap and cap his weekend off with a pair of Top-10’s as he now shifts his attention to 410ci action this week.

BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-59, Wins-5, Top 5’s-15, Top 10’s-39

ON TAP: Ashton Torgerson will continue to race at home as he is now set to take on High Limit Racing Thursday night in Tulare, CA, Friday night in Hanford, CA and Saturday night in Placerville, CA.

Doran Binks’ Swanson Leads Wire to Wire

In Mission Foods No. 77 and Pads Points Lead

As Series Makes First Visit to Jennerstown Speedway

JENNERSTOWN, Pa., Aug. 11 — The USAC Silver Crown series’ first event ever on

Jennerstown Speedway’s 0.522-mile asphalt oval Saturday night was record-setting and memorable for Doran Binks Racing and driver Kody Swanson. Driving the Mission Foods No. 77, the seven-time series champion led all 100 laps of the feature to extend his record for the driver with the most USAC Silver Crown victories in history to 44.

Swanson lapped through sixth place, taking the checkered flag a whopping 3.907 seconds before Dakoda Armstrong, the runner-up, did the same. It was Swanson’s fourth win of the year, and it extended both Swanson and Doran Binks Racing’s lead in the point standings.

It was a team effort. The Doran Binks crew made numerous changes to their Lanci Ford-powered car to trim 0.295 seconds from the best lap they ran in Friday’s practice sessions to the 18.019-second lap Swanson put down in qualifying on Saturday. That was an automatic new track record and it extended his record as the driver with the most poles in series history to 52. It was the team’s fifth pole so far this year.

The pressure was intense for the first half of the race. Defending champion Logan Seavey, who started second, was only 0.457 seconds behind Swanson when the first of two caution flags waved on lap nine. That yellow lasted for three laps and it flew after the eighth-place driver, Kaylee Bryson, had a mechanical issue.

Seavey was 0.670 seconds behind Swanson at the one-quarter mark, but Swanson had a 1.023-second lead when the final caution flew on lap 29 when Nathan Moore spun and hit the Turn 1 wall after contact with Tyler Roahrig.

Armstrong took second from Seavey on that restart but Seavey got him back on the following lap, lap 33. They were all still close to Swanson’s car, which is also sponsored by Glenn Farms and Wilke Orthodontics, and on lap 35 Swanson’s advantage was only 0.32 seconds. He set the fastest lap of anyone in the race on lap 36 with a time of 18.223 seconds, however.

Armstrong passed Seavey for second again on lap 42. While they were battling, Swanson increased his lead to over 1 second by lap 43. He was 1.202 seconds ahead of Armstrong at the halfway point.

The margin dropped to about half a second around lap 60, but it was back to a full second five laps later. Swanson was 1.302 seconds ahead of Armstrong on lap 75, and then he was able to pad his lead to over 2 seconds by lap 83 and over 3 seconds by lap 89. He was 4.255 seconds ahead on lap 97.

Following Swanson, Armstrong, and Seavey at the checkered were Taylor Ferns in fourth and Bobby Santos III in fifth. C.J. Leary, Justin Grant, Nathan Byrd, Kyle Steffens and Trey Osborne rounded out the top 10.

It was the 15th different track where Swanson has won a USAC Silver Crown race, another all-time record.

“The car was pretty good,” Swanson said in victory lane. “The handling went away a little halfway through, but not enough to keep us from winning. It’s a fun track. I appreciate the work of the Doran Binks team, the support of our sponsors, and for all the people who came out tonight.”

Swanson had competed at Jennerstown only once before, as he drove a late model here in 2021. Another member of the Doran Binks team, David Doran, drove in ASA stock car races here in the past.

Swanson is a native of Kingsburg, Calif., who now lives in Indianapolis. Doran Binks Racing is headquartered in Lebanon, Ohio.

Swanson and Doran Binks Racing had a 31-point advantage in the point standings over Justin Grant and Hemelgarn Racing going into Jennerstown, 423 to 392. They left Pennsylvania with a 55-point edge, 499 points to 444.

This coming weekend is huge for the series, as it has a race at World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, Ill., on Friday, Aug. 16 and another one the following day at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield, Ill. The series closes out the month with a race at the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds in DuQuoin, Ill., on Saturday, Aug. 31. The entire 14-race schedule can be found at usacracing.com.

The USAC Silver Crown series’ races are streamed live by Flo Racing.

By Fully Injected Motorsports:

GETTYSBURG, Pa. (August 12, 2024) – Danny Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing did their best to qualify for the 50-lap Knoxville Nationals finale on Saturday, August 10, and despite all attempts, they were a tad short, capping their four-day campaign 16th in Saturday’s B-Main, transferring through the evening’s C-Main just prior.

Dietrich, ace of Gary Kauffman’s Weikert’s Livestock, Sandoe’s Fruit Market, Derek Snyder & Self Made Racing, York Excavating, Big Cove Whitetail Trophy Hunts, Drop Of Ink Tattoo, No. 48 sprint car, launched his Knoxville Nationals preliminary effort with a 16th-place score in Wednesday’s A-Main, and although a sound finish, he was just short of a “lock in” spot forcing the Gettysburg native to Friday’s Hard Knox. Dietrich raced on to finish 15th in the last chance A-Main, setting up his eventual C-Main start for Saturday.

Nonetheless, Dietrich is already home and ready to get back to work, setting aim on a Central Pennsylvania/Ohio/New York trio on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, August 16-18; all still to be determined.

“We had a great trip to Knoxville. Made the best of it despite missing the A,” Dietrich, a ten-time winner in 2024, said. “Just a big thanks to Gary Kauffman and all of our partners for giving us the opportunity to go out there and compete. It’s the toughest race in the country. All we can do now is reset to get back at it this weekend.”

Xavier Doney enjoys Knoxville Nationals experience; POWRi triple next for the Schnee-Lawson House Car
ByTyler Altmeyer
Aug 12, 2024

By Fully Injected Motorsports:

ODESSA, Mo. (August 12, 2024) – In all, a great effort and a great Knoxville Nationals experience for Xavier Doney and Doney-Lawson Racing, capping the four-day “Granddaddy Of Them All” at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, with a D-Main start on Saturday, August 10. Doney, a recent WAR Sprints winner at Lake Ozark Speedway and ace of the Schnee-Lawson Chassis, Motor Haven, Design Source Flooring, Able Group, No. 74 sprint car, was scored 15th in his D-Main appearance, activating all preliminary competition with an 18th-place finish in Thursday’s B-Main.

With his preliminary results short of a “lock in” position, Doney’s Knoxville Nationals effort continued on Friday, August 9, participating in the Hard Knox program giving competitors one last chance to improve their starting positions for Saturday’s finale. The Odessa, Missouri, native raced on to finish 13th in the second of two B-Mains, thus placing him in the aforementioned Saturday D – a valiant effort for the Knoxville Nationals rookie.

Although the coveted Knoxville Nationals are officially in the books, Doney’s busy August agenda is far from over, already aiming ahead at a trio of POWRi 410 starts on Friday through Sunday, August 16-18. The POWRi trio will consist of three Missouri tracks beginning with a stop at Midway Speedway on Friday, August 16.

In addition, Natalie Doney, Xavier’s younger sister and Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Cars teammate, will also be in action during the coming weekend, set to take on 305 action at Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday, August 17.

SCHNEE-LAWSON CHASSIS HOUSE CAR UPCOMING SCHEDULE:
Xavier Doney and Doney-Lawson Racing will resume their 2024 campaign with a POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint Series three-pack across the Show-Me State on August 16-18 visiting Midway Speedway, Lucas Oil Speedway, and Missouri State Fair Speedway in consecutive fashion.

Westfall on top with BOSS Series at Waynesfield; USAC schedule continues at Red Hill Raceway

By Fully Injected Motorsports:

WAYNESFIELD, Ohio (August 12, 2024) – With USAC National Sprint Car commitments on hold until Thursday, August 15, Matt Westfall and Ray Marshall Motorsports had the opportunity to venture out, returning to Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series (BOSS) competition with a visit to Waynesfield Raceway Park in Waynesfield, Ohio, on Saturday, August 10. The last minute visit resulted in victory for the Pleasant Hill, Ohio, native, outdueling Ricky Lewis in a lap-to-lap nailbiter for his first BOSS triumph of the year.

Westfall, ace of Ray Marshall’s Buckeye Machine Fabricators Inc, Hempy Water, DPI Ink, Wix Filters, Rod End Supply, Allstar Performance, No. 33M sprint car, started sixth on the BOSS feature grid, kicking off preliminary action with the fastest time within his respective group, followed up with a runner-up finish during heat race competition.

Although the win was Westfall’s first with BOSS, it was not his first all together, securing his first triumph of the year at Paragon Speedway in late June. Additionally, Westfall is certainly no stranger to BOSS competition, nor victory lane, securing two titles in three years before making the jump to USAC.

“That was fun and much needed,” Westfall was quick to add. “Indiana Sprint Week was a tough stretch, but to come out of that and get a victory right away is pretty motivating. We’ve always ran pretty well at Waynesfield, so to get back there and get a win is special. Just a big thanks to Ray Marshall for his continued support. He’s the one that makes all of this possible.”

Matt Westfall and Ray Marshall Motorsports will continue their 2024 USAC National Sprint Cars campaign with a visit to Red Hill Raceway in Sumner, Illinois, on Thursday, August 15.

By Fully Injected Motorsports:

BENTON RIDGE, Ohio (August 12, 2024) – Greg Wilson’s last minute decision to visit the Keystone State certainly paid off, and although the former All Star champion and Benton Ridge, Ohio, native was short at attaining a much wanted victory, he was close, capping his three-race weekend with a runner-up finish at Tri-City Raceway Park in Franklin, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, August 11. A close battle, Wilson was in charge before losing the top spot to Apollo’s AJ Flick, edged-out at the line by less than a second.

Wilson, ace of his own Hercules Tires, Ohio Logistics Warehousing & Transportation, DNC Hydraulics, No. W20 sprint car, commenced his eventual three-race weekend with a visit to Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania, on Friday, August 9, followed by the Phil Walter Classic at Clinton County Speedway in Mill Hall, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, August 10. Although a rough start to the weekend, not finishing at Lernerville, Wilson rallied big at Clinton County, driving ahead from 20th to finish 12th.

Wilson’s runner-up finish at Tri-City resulted in his ninth top-five of the season, simultaneously increasing his top-ten tally to 12.

“So close to getting that first win of the season. Just a tad short,” Wilson expressed. “In all, a fun weekend in Pennsylvania for our team. Can’t thank Hercules Tires, Ohio Logistics Warehousing & Transportation, and DNC Hydraulics for making all of this possible, and my family – they’re the backbone of this operation and I couldn’t do what I do without them. We’re not too sure of the plan for this weekend, but we’ll figure something out soon.”

Greg Wilson and Greg Wilson Racing are unsure of upcoming plans. More news to be released in the coming days.

Randall and TKS Motorsports thrilled with Knoxville Nationals effort; Jackson Nationals on deck

By Fully Injected Motorsports:

MITCHELLVILLE, Iowa (August 12, 2024) - Two major weekends at the “Sprint Car Capital of the World” resulted in two major accomplishments for Chase Randall and TKS Motorsports, racing on to qualify for each of the country’s biggest events for their respective divisions; the 360 Knoxville Nationals and the coveted Knoxville Nationals featuring the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series. Although shy of the ultimate goal, the eventual end outcomes were perfect in their own right, capping the evenings 23rd and 22nd, respectively.

Impressive enough, the young man out of Waco, Texas, earned top-five scores in each of his Nationals preliminary efforts, highlighting said starts with a fourth-place result in Wednesday’s Knoxville Nationals main event on August 8. The top-five, mixed with a four-spot rally to win his respective heat race, allowed Randall to lock himself into Saturday’s 50-lap “Granddaddy Of Them All.”

Randall and TKS Motorsports finished second in their 360 Knoxville Nationals preliminary feature on August 1, advancing ten positions from 12th on the starting grid.

“Just an incredible effort by this entire TKS Motorsports team. I know we didn’t have the A-Main results we wanted, but to put together two solid weeks like that says so much and I’m proud of everyone,” Troy Renfro, owner of the Albaugh - Your Alternative, Iowa Barnstormers, Des Moines Industrial Products, Jersey Freeze Ice Cream, AL Driveline, TJ Forged, No. 2KS sprint car, said. “This was a total team effort and everyone plays an important role. The Nationals may be done, but we still have work to do. Here’s to continuing our successes this weekend at Jackson Motorplex.”

As noted, Chase Randall and TKS Motorsports will continue their 2024 campaign with the Jackson Nationals at Jackson Motorplex. Certainly no stranger to the state-of-the-art complex, Randall is a recent winner, clinching a $7,000 payday after leading every lap on July 26.

ON DECK:
TKS Motorsports and Chase Randall will continue their 2024 campaign with a visit to the Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minnesota, on Friday and Saturday, August 16-17. The annual Jackson Nationals will award $25,000-to-win on Saturday.

Brown earns top-ten in Knoxville Nationals, awarded Mr. Sprint Car; Missouri State Fair on coming agenda

By Fully Injected Motorsports:

GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (August 12, 2024) - Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing put it all together in their 2024 Knoxville Nationals effort, not only qualifying for Saturday’s coveted 50-lap program featuring the world’s most talented open wheel aces, but racing on to secure a top-ten outcome - sixth at the final checkers after starting one position worse.

Brown, who secured a top-ten finish in Thursday’s preliminary main event to “lock in,” used his Knoxville Nationals success to attain the Jesse Hockett “Mr. Sprint Car” Award; a $6,500 prize. Given annually, the Mr. Sprint Car achievement is awarded to the driver who accumulates the most points during all of Iowa’s prestigious events; 360 Knoxville Nationals, Capitani Classic, Front Row Challenge, and Knoxville Nationals.

“A solid week for our Casey’s | FVP team. Didn’t draw the best number in our preliminary night on Thursday, but to go out late and still record the fourth-fastest time says so much about our program. That set the tone for our entire week,” Brown, ace of the Brian Brown Racing, Casey’s, FVP, Andy's Frozen Custard, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mt. Dew Overdrive, Ditzfeld Transfer, Hawk Hunting, No. 21 sprint car, said. “We struggled a tad in our preliminary feature on Thursday…just kinda overcompensated from Sunday night and really couldn't’ get going. We decided to go back to our old notes and return to the basics for Saturday’s 50-lapper. It ended up working out…hot lapped well and the first 25 laps were really solid, as well. I don’t think the break at halfway really helped us much because I thought we were good enough to pass a few more cars.

“Regardless, just a solid 50 laps. Very, very proud of our team, as well as all of our partners. Ten days can make for a long stretch, especially at that level. Everyone faced off well against adversity and never quit working. In the end, we were the most consistent car in winning the Mr. Sprint Car Award, so that should say enough right there.”

Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing will continue their 2024 campaign with a POWRi start at Missouri State Fair Speedway in Sedalia, Missouri, on Sunday, August 18.

Schatz bests field in Friday’s Hard Knox to secure Knoxville Nationals A-Main; Jackson Nationals begins Friday

2024 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series Standings: 2nd | 5888 (-98)

Dates: Wednesday through Saturday, August 7th-10th
Event: Knoxville Nationals
Series: World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series
Track: Knoxville Raceway (Knoxville, Iowa)
Donny Schatz A-Main Finishes:
Wednesday: 18th (19th)
Thursday: Did Not Compete
Friday: 1st (1st)
Saturday: 13th (21st)

BROWNSBURG, Ind. (August 12, 2024) - It was a roller coaster week for Donny Schatz and Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing, with plenty of highs and lows in between. In fact, the ten-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion did not secure his Knoxville Nationals A-Main appearance until Friday, August 9, when the Fargo, North Dakota, native claimed victory in the Hard Knox program.

Schatz, ace of the Carquest, Advance Auto Parts, Ford Performance, Curb Records, Sage Fruit, Elliott’s Custom Trailers & Carts, Mobil 1, Hoosier, VP Racing Fuels & Tub ‘O Towels, No. 15 sprint car, won the Hard Knox main event from the pole position, forced to compete in Friday’s “last chance” event after failing to attain enough points through preliminary competition on Wednesday, August 7; he finished 18th in the evening’s A.

After setting Friday’s fastest qualifying time, Schatz had a little help in his heat race, as Jack Dover (3rd) missed the scales and the ensuing disqualification lifted Schatz (4th) into a transfer spot. With the main event lined up on qualifying times, Schatz earned the pole.

“It wasn’t the prettiest, but this is the Knoxville Nationals, and I guess sometimes you’ve got to be lucky too,” Schatz said of his Friday victory. “I guess when it happens to you it’s great, and when it doesn’t happen to you it’s not so great… You’ve got to take it in steps. The first thing you’ve got to do is get it in the show.”

The Hard Knox victory allowed Schatz to start 21st in the 50-lap Knoxville Nationals finale on Saturday, August 10 - just behind the eventual Saturday B-Main transfer cars. The 11-time Knoxville Nationals champion drove through to finish 13th.

AFTER TWO MONTHS OFF BRODY ROA RETURNS TO RACING SATURDAY AT SANTA MARIA

(Cypress, CA, August 7) After more than two months on the sidelines, 2023 Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series champion Brody Roa will return to action this Saturday night at one of his best tracks, the Santa Maria Speedway. Roa will be steering the beautiful Jayson May #8M 360 powered car against a strong field of 410s in his eighth race of the year.

Roa’s last appearance came at the annual Salute to Indy at Perris Auto Speedway on March 25th. On that night, the Garden Grove, California racing star finished third in the main event. However, the 410 engine in May’s car suffered some damage. That engine is still on the operating table, so the team is installing the 360 for this week’s show. It is the same 360 that Roa drove to a win over a field of USAC/CRA 410s at Santa Maria two years ago this weekend.

In nine USAC/CRA races at Santa Maria dating back to 2017, “The Pride of Garden Grove” has four wins, two runner-up results, and one third-place finish. He only placed out of the top three two times.

“It has felt like an off-season,” Roa laughed about his two months out of the saddle. “At this point, I feel like I have retired. I have missed it. It is not that easy being off that long. Part of the plan this year with the family was to take some time off. But these two months were kind of an unplanned time off.”

“I am running Jayson’s car again with his 360 that we won all those races with a couple of years ago,” Roa continued. “It is the same one we won with in the CRA race two years ago at Santa Maria. Hopefully, we can do the same thing this Saturday. That would be a nice way to come off the layoff. I know that engine, and I know that it runs. At the end of 2021 and into 2022 we really worked on it. I know that thing is a hitter and I know it can do it. I have all the confidence in the world going into this weekend.”

While he has not raced in two months, Roa has still had an impressive season. Despite a broken drive shaft in the Jack Yeley Car knocking him out before the main event at Cocopah in March, a nasty crash in hot laps at Mohave Valley in April, and a rainout at Kern in May, Roa has finished in the top four in four of the five mains he has started this season. His totals include victories in two Inland Rigging Ultimate Sprint Car Series races at the Bakersfield Speedway on April 20th and May 18th. The only race he was out of the top four was when he placed eighth at Perris on April 27th.

“I think we had the package to make it five wins in the five races, but we were just working through some bugs,” Roa offered on his year thus far. “The 410 deal is still pretty new for Jayson. We have had some issues. They build their own motors, and they are working through those issues. Their 360s are really good, and I know the 410 will get there.”

Check with Roa in the pits after Saturday’s last race to pick up one of his great looking 2024 #8M racing shirts.

To see if Roa can do it on Saturday at Santa Maria, the gates will open at 4:00 p.m. Qualifying will start at 5:00, and the first race will start at 6:00. Adult tickets are $30.00. Seniors and military get in for $23.00. For kids 6-12, it is only $5.00, and children 5 and under are free. The track is located at 1900 Hutton Road in Nipomo. The track website is https://santamariaspeedway.net/.

The May Motorsports entry is sponsored by Winfield’s Racing Engines, RDM Mechanics, Cooper’s Propane, TJM Distribution, TJM Distribution, Ten West Towing, Arctic Sea Mining, Wesco International, Elite Signs and Fastenal.

Roa would like to thank his own sponsors, “Biker” Bruce Fischer, ALR Virtual Services, Burris Racing, Caltrol, Competition Suspension, Simpson Race Gear, Rod End Supply, Driven Racing Oil, Baldwin Filters, and NGK Spark Plugs. If you would like to be a marketing partner in 2024, contact Roa using the information at the top of this release.

With just five races left on the 2024 schedule, there will be an exciting change of pace to the racing program set for this Sunday, August 11. The ULMS Late Model Series will be back at the big Venango County oval for the first time since 2021.

“We are so pleased that the fans came out to support us on Fan Appreciation Night,” said track owner Josh Shiffer. “We hope that they enjoyed themselves and liked what they saw and that they make plans to come back before the curtain falls on our first season of operation,” he added. “This Sunday would be a great time for all to see the return of the ULMS Late Models.”

“We are excited to be back at Tri City Raceway Park,” said ULMS Series Director Trevor Zuver. “The race will pay $5,000 to win and $500 to start, so we expect a good turn out of racers,” he added. Zuver anticipates that this purse structure will be the norm for 2025, with some higher paying races mixed into the schedule. “I hope this event is successful because we do want Tri City on our schedule for the years to come.”

One driver that Zuver has confirmed will be Max Blair, of nearby Centerville. “Max cut his teeth at Tri City, and he was a big advocate for this race to be added to the schedule,” Zuver explained. “He does not get to race so close to home very often, so he is really looking forward to this.”

Zuver’s ULMS regulars will be led into battle by Michael Lake. The Uniontown driver currently sits atop the series standings in this, his rookie season with the touring series. Logan Zarin, of Moon Township, has committed to the event, along with Dave Stamm, of Millmont. Dylan Lewis will make the long tow from Oakland, MD, and Jon Rohacevich will carry the flag for the Empire State.

Regional talents like Jared Miley, the winner of the last ULMS race held at Tri City, and Alex Ferree, a recent ULMS winner, will be ready to go.

And, Franklin’s own Tyler Wyant will continue his development as a Late Model racer at a track that he mastered as a teenager driving a Pro Stock. Wyant has made several Pro Stock appearances at Tri City this season, so maybe fans will get to see him race in two divisions!

In addition to the ULMS Late Models, the Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars will be racing, along with the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks and the 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprint Cars. The 21st Century Energy Group Modifieds will have the week off, but they will return for the big Ryder Memorial event sanctioned by the BRP Modified Tour on August 18.

There is a tremendous battle for the top spot in the Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars. Bob Felmlee is clinging to a one-point lead over two-time and defending track champion A.J. Flick. Matt Farnham picked up his second victory of the season last week, and he will face challenges from Andy Cavanaugh, Jeremy Weaver, Jack Sodeman, Jr., and many more!

In the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks, Rod Laskey now leads Pat Fielding by twenty-eight markers in the quest for the track championship. Josh Seippel is also in contention for the title. Doug Iorio, II, Russ Coyne, Jason Kimmy, and Bobby and Jake Whitling are just a few of the other racers who could snatch a win!

John Mollick still has a firm grip on the 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprint Car standings. But, Blaze Myers Brent Rhebergen, Arnie Kent, and Joe Buccola are ready to step into victory lane, too.

Ticket prices for this special event will be $20 for adults. Seniors (ages 62 and up), students (ages 11 to 16), and military will be $18, all with proper identification. The children (ages 10 and under) will be free. Pit passes will be $40, except for those age two or under. They will be admitted to the Pits for $15.

The pit gates will open at 2 p.m. Late Model hot laps will be at 5:45, with qualifications immediately thereafter. The heat races will follow.

Mark your racing calendars for the Ryder Memorial on August 18. The BRP sanctioned Modifieds will be back with a double feature program on September 1 as part of the big Oil Region Labor Day Classic.

Remember that you will need to check the Facebook page, Tri City Raceway Park, for current information. The former website is not updated and will soon be replaced.

CRSA READY FOR FIRST TWO-IN-TWO OF SEASON

Press Release By: Marty Czekala – August 7, 2024 – Photo By: Dylan Terry

The A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints powered by Super Gen Products are ready for a weekend road trip to Penn Can Speedway Friday and Thunder Mountain Speedway Saturday for rounds three and four of the Joe's Garage Southern Tier Series.

For Penn Can, this is the makeup race from June 14 that was rained out. It will be the 34th time "The Future Stars of Sprint Cars" takes to the track in Susquehanna, Pennsylvania It is the first of two trips on the 2024 calendar.

As for Thunder Mountain, this is the second trip this season to the high-banked facility in Center Lisle. The track hosted the season opener in which defending series champion Jordan Hutton kicked off the season with a win.

Here’s a look at what to expect for the weekend.

Tune In: Both races can be seen live on Dirt Track Digest TV, with Marty Czekala on the call. Penn Can can also be seen on Race Report TV. For $5.99 a month, you can expand your race night experience at the track or online through the MyRacePass app or at www.myracepass.com, which features entries, lineups, fantasy and results.

Last Time Out: CRSA traveled to Fonda Speedway July 27 for the second round of the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge.

Looking to tie the record for CRSA wins at Fonda with four, Jordan Hutton took the win over Jeff Trombley with a last-lap pass around the outside in turn two.

The win was Hutton's third of the season, making the driver of the No. 66 a perfect two-for-two in the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge.

“It means a lot to win at Fonda,” said Hutton, whose win rate at Fonda is at 44 percent. “I saw him go low entering one when the white flag came out; I said, 'I got him now.’”

Trombley was half a mile away from scoring his 14th career CRSA victory, which would have tied him with Danny Varin, Josh Pieniazek and Scott Goodrich for all-time victories. The win would’ve also been his first since 2022. However, a cylinder dropped into the corner, causing Trombley's No. 3a to lose power.

Points Standings: With a fifth-place finish at Fonda, Tomy Moreau increased his points lead in the CRSA standings to 36 after seven races over Kyle Pierce.

Pierce is in a tight battle for second as Dalton Herrick has closed in for the spot with three points separating the two drivers.

After a violent flip that he walked away from last weekend, Blake Warner has lost ground in the championship race. He is now 75 points behind Moreau. Ron Greek rounds out the top five, 86 points behind.

The rest of the top 10 is John Cunningham sixth, Hutton seventh, Adam Depuy eighth, Jerry Sehn Jr. ninth and Cliff Pierce 10th.

For the Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series, the top four in points are separated by six markers. Billy VanInwegen holds a four-point lead on Herrick, Hutton is third five back and Kyle Pierce is fourth six behind.

Embrace the Grind: August will be a busy Month for the CRSA Sprints, as five races, including a pair of two-in-twos, will be contested in the eighth month of the calendar.

The series was scheduled to run at Utica-Rome Speedway last Friday but was rained out.

The weekend after Penn Can and Thunder Mountain, CRSA has another two-in-two at Outlaw Speedway and Woodhull Raceway for a pair of Dandy Triple Play events.

Finally, the month ends Aug. 23 when CRSA heads to “The D-Shaped Dirt Demon” Brewerton Speedway for the first time in series history. It will be the first time in recent memory a 305 Sprint race will be contested on the 1/3-mile facility.

Last Time at Penn Can & Thunder Mountain: The last time the 305 Sprints were at Penn Can on King of the Can, Kyle Pierce took the checkers. On one of the biggest weekends of the year at the 3/8-mile facility, “The Flyin' School Teacher" made his way from fourth to the front. It was a bounce-back win for Pierce after a tough season.

For Thunder Mountain, Jordan Hutton took the lead on lap seven from Johnny Smith and Billy VanInwegen to beat 24 other drivers and Mother Nature in the season opener.

The defending champion enjoyed the bottom throughout the race, but at the halfway point of the 25-lap feature, Hutton took advantage of it to win by five seconds. It was Hutton's first-ever top-five at Thunder Mountain.

Herrick’s Heirs: Dalton Herrick is one of the drivers to watch out for this weekend. The 2022 series champion in the No. 29 has the second most top fives of any driver at Penn Can at eight, including a win in PA in July 2022. Last time at Penn Can, Herrick finished fifth after starting 11th.

As for Thunder Mountain, Herrick is on another level. Leading the categories with four wins and nine top-fives, Herrick knows how to find his way to victory. Last May, Herrick put No. 29 in fourth place.

“We’ve been good there, but trying to figure out the new surface,” said Herrick in a preseason interview. “It’s always suited our style. One of those places that has a ton of bite and suited my style. I want to lean on something against the fence and hammer the top.”

By the Numbers: At Penn Can, the average car count since 2014 is over 19. 72 drivers have finished in the top five all-time and 25 drivers have recorded a checkered flag. Jeff VanSteenburg and Joe Kata lead the way in wins with three.

For Thunder Mountain, 12 drivers have taken a checkered flag and 45 drivers have recorded a top five finish. While Herrick is on top, Dana Wagner is second with four top five finishes. The average car count has been under 20 cars since 2012.

From the Frontman: “It’s great to return to the Southern Tier! We haven’t raced down there in about two months and we’re looking forward to great shows with great fans at Thunder Mountain and Penn Can.” ~ Mike Emhof

From the Track Promoters: “The team here is excited to have the CRSA Sprints back for their first of two showings of the 2024 season. Mike and his team always bring a great show and we know our fans love it.” ~ Keith Beach, Penn Can Speedway

“Thunder Mountain is a high banked track, very wide and gives lot of room for racing. We’re excited to welcome the CRSA Sprints back to the track after they kicked off our 2024 season.” ~ Karl Spoonhower, Thunder Mountain Speedway

Up next: CRSA has another two-in-two of the season Aug. 16 and 17th at Outlaw Speedway and Woodhull Raceway for a pair of Dandy Triple Play races.

Justyn Cox puts on charge at Forni-Humphreys Classic/ High Limit West Coast Swing Up Next

By Gary Thomas

Placerville, CA…Competing at the Forni-Humphreys Classic this past Saturday night in Placerville, Justyn Cox and Bates-Hamilton Racing battled their way from 13th starting to secure a sixth-place finish by the conclusion.

“Last Saturday was a good day, not the exact finish we wanted, but we had to dig out of a hole and the team worked well to change a steering box from qualifying to the heat race,” Cox said.

He began the evening by qualifying 12th in Group B time trials aboard the Lippert Construction/ Mozingo Construction/ Dan Ewart Sales/ VinylTech PVC Pipe No. 42x.

Starting from sixth in the heat race, after replacing the steering box, Cox got up on the wheel and carved his way forward to claim third, transferring into the Forni-Humphreys Classic feature.

The heat race finish placed him on the inside of row seven for the 30-lapper. Cox raced around 10th over the first half of the race and then fought his way into ninth on lap 16, before charging into seventh with 10-circuits remaining.

The 30-year-old picked up another position on lap 25 and crossed under the Ron Stahl checkered flag in sixth.

“Passing in heats at Placerville is pretty tough, so we really rebounded well and helped save the night for the most part,” stated Cox. “In the main we were good. It’s hard to get going at times, especially with such a deep field, so we’ll take a sixth-place finish after starting from 13th.”

Cox and Bates-Hamilton Racing now get set for an aggressive stretch of races coming up over the next month. It all begins with Kubota High Limit Racing converging in the Golden State this coming week.

The BHR No. 42x will roll into Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare for the $25,000-to-win “Thursday Night Thunderbowl” event on August 15th. One night later the team then tackles the $20,000-to-win “Peter Murphy Classic” at Kings Speedway in Hanford.

The triple header all finishes up at Placerville Speedway on Saturday August 17th, with the $12,000-to-win “Gold Rush Classic” invading the red clay.

Once that big weekend is complete, it will then be time for the $100,070-to-win “Gold Cup Race of Champions” at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico.

“I’m looking forward to all the big stuff ahead,” Cox commented. “Our next month is all with High Limit Racing and the World of Outlaws, so it’s going to really test us. I hope for some solid runs and to see how we stack up against the best.”

LIGUORI ENTERS BERLIN EVENT WITH MSR POINTS LEAD

August 7, 2024 - Holly, Michigan - Heartbreak is something Joe Liguori is all too familiar with. Two years ago, it appeared as if he would win his first career Must See Racing Sprint Series Presented by Perfit-Parts championship. Heading into the series finale he held a slim point advantage over Charlie Schultz. All he had to do was finish ahead of Shultz and the title was his.

In his heat race he had a driveline come apart and he was forced to the pits and unable to finish. After repairs, he would have to start at the rear of the field. When the dust had settled, he came two positions short of finishing ahead of Schultz and lost the championship.

Then last season he was forced to sit out most of the campaign due to repeated engine issues. A wasted season in Liguori’s eyes.

Now he finds himself atop the current point standings with a comfortable lead. But how comfortable? Only Liguori can answer that question.

The Liguori name has been famous for heartbreak unfortunately. His grandfather Ralph Liguori was often the victim of misfortune. Many times, the elder Liguori would be leading, or in contention for a good finish only to be bitten by bad luck. Blown motor, crash, mechanical failure, you name it, he experienced it. The younger Liguori himself often jokes about the Liguori jinx.

It appeared that 2024 would be different. He kicked the season off with the biggest win of his career. He won the 10K ‘Children’s Dream Fund 50’ co-sanctioned MSR / BG Southern Sprint Car Shootout Series event in Florida. He took the points lead prior to the July 26 Sandusky Speedway event.

But bad luck crept up again, and he lost a motor at Sandusky. Liguori’s friends John Reiser and Adam Biltz stepped up and let him drive their car to hold the points lead. It wasn’t the finish Liguori wanted, but it was a finish.

Liguori returns to competition this Saturday night August 10 at Berlin Raceway. Liguori will be behind the wheel of the car he has a lot of confidence in. The Hurricane chassis he nearly won the 2022 MSR championship with, and the car he has won all his career MSR feature victories with.

“At Sandusky I thought we were pretty competitive, and then another engine issue” explains Liguori. “We got off to a great start this year. Engine issues have been our downfall the last couple of years. There's nothing you can do. It is what it is.

“We decided to put the Hurricane back together for this weekend’s Berlin race. We haven’t run that car since South Boston a couple years ago when it crashed. Our spare motor was sitting in that car so that’s why we decided to get the car back out. It’s taken us a year and a half to afford the parts to put back on it.

“This is the car I won in at Anderson, South Carolina and Montgomery, Alabama. It’s actually Troy DeCaire’s favorite race car. He won a lot of races in it for George Rudolph and Dick Fieler. It’s an old car built in 2000 and has been fixed a few times. Every time it gets fixed it seems to get better.

“Everything’s looking promising this weekend if all the cards go in the right direction. We’re hoping the good luck we’ve had with this car in the past stays on our side this time and it stays there for a while” concluded Liguori.

Sharon Speedway Hosts 16th Annual Lou Blaney Memorial with Ryan Blaney Family Foundation to Raise Money for Alzheimer’s

August 6, 2024

(Hartford, OH)...The 16th Annual Lou Blaney Memorial will be held at Sharon Speedway on Saturday, August 17, at Sharon Speedway.

On Saturday, August 17, the RBFF will provide many opportunities to donate to the cause while experiencing the excitement of the night.

The Lou Blaney Memorial will include a raffle auction and a silent auction. Some items that will be in the silent auction include signed racing gloves worn by Dave, Dale, and Ryan, along with replica helmets, merchandise bundles and more! The silent auction will go live for viewing on Friday, August 16, with bidding beginning on Saturday morning.

Paul Pokorski lands familiar 4 in Plymouth top 10

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 6, 2024 – After campaigning a No. 4 car under the Pokorski Motorsports banner for 29 seasons, Paul Pokorski returned to the driver’s seat of the car his son, Alex, now pilots on a full-time basis for the Akright Auto Racing Team and turned a solid top-10 A-main showing in Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing-Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car competition at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, Aug. 3.

With Alex off for the night to attend a wedding, Paul opened the night by qualifying 11th overall in the 25-car field with a lap of 13.407 seconds. The 32-year competitor rolled off from the fifth starting spot in the second eight-lap PDTR-MSA heat race needing a top-five finish to transfer to the 25-lap A-main. However, Pokorski slipped back one spot to place sixth, which put him in the B main.

The 2014 Midwest Sprint Car Association Masters Series champion started second in the 12-lap B main and dueled throughout the race with polesitter Scott Conger before coming home with a second place showing to advance to the A-main.

“I was a little disappointed with the results from qualifying and the heat race,” Pokorski said. “I felt the car was down a bit on power, but I thought it may just be me. The B-main went about as well as expected. I had a really fun battle for the last four or five laps with Scott Conger. Scott’s a good friend and always a really clean racer. So, I had no concerns about running close to him and it was a lot of fun. I wish we had just been one spot better, but it really made no difference because we were both going to start the feature event.”

The West Bend, Wis. driver started 17th in the 25-lap PDTR-MSA main event and used the high and low side of the multi-groove racing surface to advance eight spots and secure a ninth place showing in a race won by Joseph Hintz.

Pokorski’s run from 17th to ninth netted him the Hard Charger Award in the 25-lap A-main.

“I didn't have any grand plan in the A main,” Pokorski said. “We just tried some things outside of the ordinary to learn and make some progress. I was happy with the result. Going from 17th to ninth was about as well as I could have expected. We took the motor out on Sunday because I wasn’t happy with the way it was performing and we did find some issues. Overall, I’m pretty happy with the night. I’m sure we’ll get our engine figured out this week, so we, hopefully, will have a great night next week when Alex gets back in the car.”

Alex Pokorski will return to the seat of the No. 4 Alex Pokorski – Akright Auto Racing Team car for the next Plymouth Dirt Track Racing program at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, Aug. 10.

The evening will also feature the finale of the 2024 106.5 The Buzz Seubert Calf Ranches Super Six Late Model Series, Grand Nationals and B Mods.

Grandstand gates open at 4:30 p.m. with qualifying at 5:30 p.m. and racing at 6 p.m.

Tanner Carrick 2nd at Forni-Humphreys Classic

PETERSEN MEDIA: Fresh off of a win at Placerville Speedway one week ago, Tanner Carrick and the Carrick Motorsports team returned to the famed bullring on Saturday night with $8585 on the line for the winner, and after a hard fought battle with Dominic Gorden, Carrick ultimately settled for a second place finish.

“Clark and everyone gave me a great car, I just made a mistake when we were out front on traffic and it cost us a win,” Carrick said. “Gorden was good, and he was even better in open track so once we got out front after that caution he was tough to catch.”

With 35 cars checked into the pit area for the track’s crowned jewel for weekly action, Carrick timed the CVC/Cemex/CA Waterfowl backed No. 83T in seventh fastest in qualifying time trials.

Lining up in the second row of his heat race, Carrick raced his way into the second position but needed to get to the top spot to guarantee a berth in the redraw. Finishing second, Carrick has some good fortune on his side and ended up being the fastest qualifier in his heat to transfer so earned that redraw spot.

Pulling the four in the draw, Carrick got off to a great start when the 30-lapper went green on the freshly groomed Placerville Speedway. Racing into third on the eighth lap, Carrick continued to patiently work his way forward amongst the lead group of cars.

Taking over second on the 12th lap, Carrick slid into the lead in front of the packed crowd on the 14th lap as the leaders raced through extremely dense traffic. Leading two laps, Carrick would need to quickly get out of the gas on the 16th lap and it allowed Dominic Gorden to close and take over the lead before the first stoppage of the race came on the 18th lap.

When the race resumed, Carrick settled into second as Gorden quickly gapped the field before the yellow flew a lap later. The next restart saw Gorden again gap Carrick as he held down second and waited until traffic came into play in the closing laps.

Not quite able to close like he had hoped in the final laps, Carrick closed his night out with a hard fought second place finish.

“When there is big money on the line you obviously push a little harder to get those wins, and I think I pushed a little too hard too early and it bit us,” Carrick added. “Still, a great night and a good result heading into some big races the next month.”

BY THE NUMBERS: Starts: 39, Wins: 5, Top 5’s: 21, Top 10’s: 27

ON TAP: Carrick and team will travel to Ocean Speedway this Friday and Saturday night for the Johnny Key Classic.

Justin Sanders 4th at Forni-Humphreys Classic with Dale Miller Motorsports

PETERSEN MEDIA- Checking in at Placerville Speedway on Saturday night and taking part in the lucrative Mark Forni-CJ Humphreys Classic, Justin Sanders and Dale Miller Motorsports continued to run extremely well on the hill as Sanders tallied a fourth place finish after taking the green flag from the eighth starting spot.

“We had another good car, but the way the track was and the way our draw went it kind of hurt us,” Justin Sanders said. “We had a couple of really long green flag runs to get going, but it was tricky to make up ground and we just kind of took what we could, and I made a couple of mistakes pushing it. ”

35 cars packed into the pit area at Placerville Speedway, and Sanders got the night underway by timing the Anrak/Thompson’s Family of Dealerships/North County Plastering backed No. 4SA in 4th fastest after going out very late in the qualifying session.

Lining up on the front row of his heat race, Sanders flexed his muscle early as he mashed the throttle and left the field behind. Surging to the win, Sanders punched his ticket into the 30-lap feature event and also earned a spot in the redraw where the eighth placed him in the fourth row of the main.

Following a track prep session prior to pushing out for the ‘A’, Sanders was set for action as he took his spot in the fourth row. When the race came to life, the Aromas, CA pilot quickly moved into sixth as over half of the race clicked by before a stoppage was needed.

During the extended green flag run Sanders continued to search around the extremely slick surface as moved into 5th on the 10th lap before taking the fourth spot as the red flag was needed on the 18th lap.

Making an uncharacteristic mistake when the action resumed, Sanders slipped back to eighth as he slipped over the edge of the rack but wasted no time making up for lost time.

As the laps clicked off Sanders was back into fifth on the 25th lap, and then raced into fourth with just three laps left in the race.

When the 30-lapper came to a close, Sanders capped the night off with a fourth place finish.

“I was trying to use that restart to make some momentum and get some driver forward, I just misjudged a little,” he said. “Thankful to have a fast car to drive, and looking forward to trying again at Chico, CA in a few weeks.”

BY THE NUMBERS: Starts- 9, Wins- 5, Top-5’s-9, Top-10’s-9

ON TAP: Dale Miller Motorsports and Justin Sanders will return to action on August 21st in Chico, CA.

ALL IN: Brian Brown aims in on 63rd Knoxville Nationals

By Fully Injected Motorsports:

GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. (August 6, 2024) - For much of the open wheel world, all eyes will be on Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, and for Higginsville, Missouri’s Brian Brown, it will be no different, ready to tackle the “Granddaddy Of Them All” beginning with qualifying on Thursday, August 8.

For Brown, ace of his own Brian Brown Racing, Casey’s, FVP, Andy's Frozen Custard, Impact Signs Awnings and Wraps, Mt. Dew Overdrive, Ditzfeld Transfer, No. 21 sprint car and former multi-time 360 Knoxville Nationals champion, a “410” Knoxville Nationals championship would be a first-ever achievement, permanently placing himself in the history books alongside other winners such as Steve Kinser, Doug Wolfgang, Donny Schatz, and reigning champ, Kyle Larson.

Although unable to defend his 360 Knoxville Nationals title, “Blackjack” will roll into the 63rd running of the coveted Knoxville Nationals (August 7-10) with a recent top-five to his credit, two to be exact, finishing third during 360 preliminary action before finishing fourth in the weekend finale; he started ninth.

“We’re most definitely excited about our qualifying night on Thursday,” Brown stated. “We had a great 360 Knoxville Nationals effort. We were in a great position to win on Friday during our preliminary night, but it just didn’t play out 100 percent and we ended up third. Our car in Saturday’s final was a rocket ship. Able to drive ourselves from ninth to fourth, just needed a caution late to bunch the field back up again. Hard to tell what would have happened then.”

Adding to his recent momentum kick, Brian Brown finished tenth in the Sunday night Capitani Classic at Knoxville, followed by a ninth-place score in Monday’s Front Row Challenge at Southern Iowa Speedway. In addition, Brown set Quick Time in Sunday’s Capitani, racing on to a runner-up finish during heat race competition. Blackjack would go on to start second on the main event grid.

“In the ‘A’ we tried some things that we’ve never done before, just trying to make some extra gains,” Brown, about the Capitani, said. “Sometimes things work out and sometimes they don’t. That’s all part of racing, especially at this level. We now know what we need to do to improve and I’m confident in saying we are more than ready for Thursday.”

ON DECK: Brian Brown and Brian Brown Racing will continue their 2024 campaign with the coveted 63rd Annual Knoxville Nationals at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Wednesday through Saturday, August 7-10.

64TH JOHNNY KEY CLASSIC SET FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AT OCEAN SPEEDWAY

WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (August 6, 2024) – Ocean Speedway in Watsonville at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds will host the 64th Johnny Key Classic on Friday and Saturday nights with the Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo 360 Sprint Cars competing each night.

Both nights also include Western Midget Racing and Hobby Stocks. Four Bangers will join the excitement on Friday night as well.

Adult tickets are $25 each night. On Friday night, pit gates open at 2pm with pill draw closing at 4:30pm followed by the drivers meeting at 4:45pm Spectator gates open at 4:30pm. On Saturday night, all times will be one hour earlier. For more information visit www.OceanSpeedway.com

Opening night on Friday hands out $2,000 to the Ocean Sprints winner, while Saturday’s finale is $3,000 to win, $1,000 for second, and $800 for third.

Each night will have a guaranteed $300 to start the main event. Extra money will also be on the line for fast time and hard charger both nights in memory of JP Morgan, who considered the Key Classic to be his favorite event.

Dominic Scelzi is the defending Johnny Key Classic winner, taking both the 2022 and 2023 editions. The Johnny Key Classic was first held in 1954, just two months after his death. The event took place at the San Jose Speedway between 1954 and 1977, then moved to the San Jose Fairgrounds Speedway dirt track from 1978 through 1999. The event was revived in 2007 after an eight-year absence when promoter John Prentice brought the race back as an event at Ocean Speedway. It has been a mainstay on the 360 Sprint Car calendar since then.

The former winners list of the Johnny Key Classic is a who’s who of motorsports in Northern California, with winners including four-time winner Howard Kaeding, three wins for Clyde Palmer, and two wins each for Burt Foland, Bill Scott, Scott Luhdorff, Chuck Miller, Brent Kaeding, Ronnie Day, Tommy Tarlton, Rico Abreu, and Justin Sanders.

ODESSA, Mo. (August 5, 2024) – It was a tough week in the Hoosier State for Xavier Doney and Doney-Lawson Racing, and although the Odessa, Missouri-based open wheel program missed A-Main competition in each night of their Indiana Sprint Week agenda, the potential, drive and determination was there, highlighting all attempts with a near miss at the Terre Haute Action Track in Terre Haute, Indiana, on August 1 – fifth in the consolation Semi with only four making the cut.

In addition, Doney, wheelman of the Schnee-Lawson Chassis, Motor Haven, Design Source Flooring, Able Group, No. 74 sprinter, was well within a transfer position in Saturday’s consolation Semi at Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, Indiana, that until disaster struck resulting in an upside-down race car. Contact with the outside retaining wall was the culprit, battling for third at the time of the incident.

Across the Midwest in Grain Valley, Missouri, Natalie Doney, the younger sister and teammate of Xavier Doney – also in charge of a Schnee-Lawson Chassis House Car – was in action at Valley Speedway, eventually concluding her 305 sprint car start with a top-ten score on Saturday, August 3. The top-ten, finishing eighth officially, was her second at the Valley short track since June 1.

SCHNEE-LAWSON CHASSIS HOUSE CAR UPCOMING SCHEDULE:
Xavier Doney and Doney-Lawson Racing will resume their 2024 campaign with the coveted 63rd Knoxville Nationals at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Wednesday through Saturday, August 7-10.
