Hagar got a little breathing room as he worked lapped traffic by using both the inside and outside grooves to put three lapped cars between himself and Smith on lap 20. Once Smith cleared the lapped cars, he was able to reel Hagar back in. On the last lap, Smith got a run on Hagar down the backstretch, and made a dive to the bottom of turn four to challenge for the win.

HOWARD MAKES IT TWO STRAIGHT $3000 WINS IN USCS BATTLE AT THE BEACH FINALE AT SOUTHERN RACEWAY

MILTON, FL – February 22, 2025 - Dale Howard of Byhalia, MS continued his mastery of Southern Raceway with his second straight United Sprint Car Series Presented By Hoosier Racing Tire win on Saturday night in the 30-lap Battle At The Beach Finale, Round 5 of the USCS Winter Heat Series. Dating back to February 15, Howard has led 60 straight laps of USCS competition at Southern Raceway.

Howard held off a hard charging Davie Franek of Wantage, NJ in lapped traffic to take the win. In looking for his second USCS win at Southern Raceway in eight days, Franek, who won on February 14, had to settle for second with Mark Smith of Sunbury, PA finishing third. Matt Covington of Glenpool, OK took the fourth spot and Chris Martin of Ankeny, IA was fifth.

“I knew Davie was there late in the race and the lapped cars were tough to get around,” Howard said. “You had to catch them just right to get around without slowing down to their speed. Davie is a tough competitor and I’m glad he raced me clean.”

The two straight wins, combined with a string of top five finishes to copen the 2025 USCS National Tour, brought a big smile to Howard’s face, as he looked at the big picture in a first-time run for the USCS National Championship. Howard said the best may be yet to come.

“We’re running for the USCS National Championship for the first time this season, and we’re off to a good start,” Howard said. “I’m looking forward to going to Hattiesburg (MS) Speedway next weekend, as that’s one of my favorite tracks.”

National Sprint Car Hall of Fame Inductee and 2021 USCS National Champion Danny Smith of Chillicothe, OH finished sixth and Jason Martin of Liberal, KS took the seventh spot. Lance Moss of Cherryville, NC drove to an eighth-place finish and Lane Whittington of Denham Springs, LA started 13th and came back from an early race caution flag to finish ninth and earn the Wilwood Disc Brakes Hard Charger of the Race Award. Corbin Gurley of Hebron, IN rounded out the top ten. In preliminary action, Howard won the six-lap Hoosier Racing Tire Speed Dash to earn the Pole Position for the Feature Race. The three eight-lap Heat Races were won by Covington in the Engler Machine & Tool First Heat, Moss in the Butlerbuilt Second Heat, and Mark Smith in the Schoenfeld Headers Third Heat.

At the start of the race, before the 20 drivers from 13 different states and one province of Canada could complete one lap, Covington stalled on the front straightaway to bring out the caution flag. The complete restart saw Howard take the lead followed by Franek, Danny Smith, Mark Smith and Covington.

Mark Smith passed Danny Smith for the third spot on lap two with an inside move coming off the second turn. Covington passed Danny Smith for fourth on lap eight. The second of three caution flags in the race came out on lap nine when Shelby Kelly of Runnemede, NJ stalled on the front straightaway.

Howard led Franek, Mark Smith, Covington and Danny Smith down for the restart. Chris Martin moved up to the top five on lap 14, getting by Danny Smith. The final caution flag of the race came out on lap 18 for debris on the backstretch. By lap 22, Howard caught lapped traffic and Franek closed in on the leader.

Franek closed to within a car length with two laps to go as the lead duo closed in on the lapped car of National Sprint Car Hall of Fame Inductee and 16-time USCS National Champion Terry Gray of Bartlett, TN. Howard worked to the inside of Gray in turn three on lap 29 to give himself a little breathing room.

Franek got a run coming off the fourth turn on the last lap, but Howard was able to hang on for a .259 second margin of victory going under the checkered flag to complete the 30-lap distance in 14 minutes and 15.898 seconds.

The next two United Sprint Car Series Presented By Hoosier Racing Tire Winter Heat Series races will be Rounds 7 and 8 scheduled for Hattiesburg (MS) Speedway on Friday night, February 28 and Saturday night, March 1.

HOWARD HUSTLES IN WIRE-TO-WIRE USCS WINTER HEAT WIN AT SOUTHERN RACEWAY

MILTON, FL – Dale Howard of Byhalia, MS led wire-to-wire to win Night 2 of the Battle At The Beach for the United Sprint Car Series Presented By Hoosier Racing Tire Saturday night at Southern Raceway. The 30-lap Feature Race, Round 4 of the USCS Winter Heat Series, was marred by eight caution flags and one red flag, a situation that Howard hated to see.

“When you’re leading, you never want to see cautions and red flags,” Howard said. “But, we held on and pulled it off, as the car felt good all night long. Since we’re coming back here to race again next weekend, we’ll take the car home, wash it, load it back up, and do this again.”

Austyn Gossel of Windsor, CO finished second and third went to Chris Martin of Ankeny, IA. Matt Covington of Glenpool, OK started 17th and finished fourth to earn the Wilwood Disc Brakes Hard Charger of the Race Award. Max Stambaugh of Lima, OH took the fifth spot and Corbin Gurley of Hebron, IN was sixth.

Lane Whittington of Denham Springs, LA drove to a seventh-place finish and Trey Meredith of Dade City, FL took the eighth spot. Friday night’s winner Davie Franek of Wantage, NJ came back from an early race incident to finish ninth and Carson Bolden of Quinlan, TX rounded out the top ten.

In preliminary action, Howard won the six-lap Hoosier Racing Tire Speed Dash to earn the Pole Position for the Feature Race. The three eight-lap Heat Races were won by Sterling Cling of Tempe, AZ in the Engler Machine & Tool First Heat, Martin in the Butlerbuilt Second Heat, and Gossel in the Schoenfeld Headers Third Heat.

The yellow flag fest began at the start of the Feature Race when Brogan Carder of Sioux Falls, SD spun in turn one and collected John Robicheaux of Gulfport, MS. After the complete restart, Howard took the lead from the Pole Position followed by Cling, Gossel, 2021 USCS National Champion Danny Smith of Chillicothe, OH and Jason Martin of Lincoln, NE

The yellow caution bulb was ignited on lap two when Van Gurley Jr. of Valparaiso, IN spun in turn two. When the field went back to green flag action, Jason Martin got by Smith to take over the fourth spot with an inside pass in turn two. Van Gurley Jr. was charged with his second caution of the race on lap six when he stalled in turn four.

Franek moved into the top five on lap eight when he got around Smith and Jason Martin passed Gossel for third on lap 14. Cautionitis hit epidemic status on lap 20. It started when Shelby Kelly of Runnemede, NJ spun in turn four, just after Howard put him one lap down.

The look of the top ten changed dramatically on the restart when Jason Martin challenged Cling for the second spot coming off turn two. Martin’s right-rear jumped over Cling’s left-front causing both cars to spin and collecting Franek in fourth, and Lance Moss of Cherryville, NC. The re-racked top five for the restart was Howard, Gossel, Chris Martin, Smith, and Stambaugh.

The red flag came out on the next restart when National Sprint Car Hall of Fame Inductee Smith flipped in turn four. Smith and his car were both O.K. and he restarted after an open red flag to refuel the field. However, the hits kept on coming as the restart green turned to caution when Kyle Mabry of Cottondale, FL and Moss spun in turn two.

When the field finally got back to green flag racing, Covington moved up to the fourth spot on lap 21 when he got by Stambaugh for the position, Bryan Gossel of Windsor, CO spun in turn four to bring out the caution flag on lap 22. The final caution flag came out on lap 23 when Moss spun in turn two.

Howard, Austyn Gossel, Chris Martin, Covington and Stambaugh brought the field down for the restart. The final eight laps went caution free and Howard took the checkered flag with a 1.446 second margin of victory over Austyn Gossel.

The next two United Sprint Car Series Presented By Hoosier Racing Tire Winter Heat races will be Rounds 5 and 6 scheduled for Southern Raceway on Friday night, February 21 and Saturday night, February 22. It will also be the 3rd and 4th Nights of the Battle At The Beach at the Milton, FL track.

Smith methodically worked his way to the front from his fifth starting spot to take the lead on lap 22.

Friday night USCS Winter Heat winner Tyler Clem of St. Petersburg, FL led for six laps, but had to settle for second and third went to Matt Covington of Glenpool, OK. Blake Hahn of Sapulpa, OK took the fourth spot and Dale Howard of Byhalia, MS was fifth.

Davie Franek of Wantage, NJ finished sixth and National Sprint Car Hall of Fame inductee and 16-time USCS National Champion Terry Gray of Bartlett, TN drove to a seventh-place finish. Trey Meredith of Dade City, FL started 16th and finished eighth to earn the Wilwood Disc Brakes Hard Charger of the Race Award. Sam Hafertepe of Sunnyvale, TX took the ninth spot and Kyler Johnson of Quinter, KS rounded out the top ten.

“I’ve got to thank Terry Whitherspoon for letting me drive his car this weekend,” Smith said in the Winner’s Circle. “Things got pretty intense in the second half of the race, and I could see I needed to be patient when I saw what was going on in front of me. I just waited to make my move at the right time.”

In preliminary action, Hafertepe was the Fast Qualifier among the 34 entrants from 16 different states with a lap around Hendry County Motorsports Park in 13.147 seconds. Scotty Thiel of Sheboygan, WI won the six-lap Hoosier Racing Tire Speed Dash to earn the Pole Position for the King of the 360 30-lap A-Main.

Thiel took the lead at the start of the race followed by Clem, Hafertepe, Smith, and Covington. The first of two caution flags came out on lap five when Chase Moran of Fultonville, NY and Garrett Green of Dade City, FL tangled in turn two. The second caution flag came out on the restart when Robbie Smith of Ocala, FL spun in turn two.

On the next restart, Thiel took to the high side of the track from the point, while Clem worked the bottom groove in second. Franek passed Covington for the fifth spot. Clem chipped away at Thiel’s lead and got the better bite off the bottom of turn four on lap nine to take the lead.

Hafertepe got by Thiel for second on the 12th circuit and then sailed around the outside of Clem to take the lead on lap 14. Mark Smith drove by Thiel on lap 15 to move up to the third spot, as the leaders caught the cars on the tail of the lead lap. This brought about wholesale position changes among the top five divers in the second half of the race.

Thiel regrouped and passed Smith and Clem to take over the second spot on lap 16, and Covington got by Franek to move back into the top five on lap 17. Lap 20 and 21 saw Clem and Thiel swap the second spot. Hafertepe bounced off the backstretch wall on lap 22 and Clem pounced to retake the lead, and Mark Smith moved up to second.

A wide racing surface made for multiple grooves that lent itself to several lead changes.

Mark Smith of Sunbury, PA finished third and fourth went to Dale Howard of Byhalia, MS. Mark Ruel Jr. of Jacksonville, FL started 13th and drove to a fifth-place finish to earn the Wilwood Disc Brakes Hard Charger of the Race Award. Sam Hafertepe Jr. of Sunnyvale, TX took the sixth spot and polesitter Phil Gressman of Fremont, OH was seventh.

National Sprint Car Hall of Fame Inductee and former USCS National Champion Danny Smith of Chillicothe, OH finished eighth and the ninth spot went to Kyler Johnson of Quinter, KS. Blake Hahn of Sapulpa, OK rounded out the top ten.

In preliminary action, the four ten-lap heat races went to Gressman in the Engler Machine & Tool First Heat, Thornhill in the Butlerbuilt Racing Products Second Heat, Hahn in the Schoenfeld Headers Third Heat, and Mark Smith in the Hero Graphics Fourth Heat. Bradley Fezard of Bonnerdale, AR won the 15-lap Huggins Cams B-Main Race.

Clem took the lead at the start of the race from his outside front row starting spot followed by Gressman, Danny Smith, Mark Smith, and Thornhill. On lap two, Mark Smith and Thornhill stepped to the outside and drove by Danny Smith to take over the third and fourth spots respectively.

The only caution flag of the race came out on lap five when Davie Franek of Wantage, NJ performed a 360-degree spin in turn two. Clem led Gressman, Mark Smith, Thornhill, and Danny Smith down for the restart. Mark Smith used the high side of the track to pass Gressman for second on the restart. Thornhill was able to move up to third by passing Gressman on lap eight.

Mark Smith caught Clem on lap ten and threw a successful slider in turn one by diving low and sliding up in front of Clem to take the lead. The slider fest was on as Clem crossed over in turn two to reclaim the lead, but Mark Smith slid Clem in turn three to grab the point. Thornhill was able to pass Clem for the second spot on lap 13.

The leaders caught the cars on the tail of the lead lap by the 15th circuit, and that made for a three-way battle for the lead. Thornhill drove around the outside of Mark Smith coming off the fourth turn on lap 18 to take the lead. Clem worked the bottom of the track from the third spot and scored a two for one pass coming off the fourth turn to take the lead on lap 22.

The last lap saw Clem and Thornhill split lapped cars coming off the fourth turn to the checkered flag. Clem came off the bottom groove to edge the high riding Thornhill by .105 seconds at the checkered flag in a race that took eight minutes and 57. 841 seconds to complete.

Whittington won the Engler Machine and Tool first eight-lap lap Heat Race, and then earned the pole position for the main event by winning the six-lap Hoosier Racing Tire Speed Dash. But along the way, Whittington found a new rival, as fourth-generation driver P.J. Reutimann of Zephyrhills, FL kept Whittington from leading every lap.

Reutimann led five laps in the Feature Race, and the first three laps in the Hoosier Racing Tire Speed Dash. Reutimann’s chance for victory in the main event came to an end on lap 20 when spun out while running second.

Whittington took the lead at the start of the race followed by Reutimann, Gray, Meredith, and Bowen. Whittington led the field until lap 12 when Reutimann grabbed the point. Whittington reclaimed the lead on lap 17. Reutimann’s best performance of the 2024 season came to an end on lap 20 when he spun in turn four while running second.

Whittington led Gray, Meredith, McLain and Bowen down for the green flag on the restart, and pulled away in the five lap dash to the finish. Whittington took a 2.986 second margin of victory over Gray under the checkered flag.

WHITTINGTON SWEEPS USCS SOUTHERN RACEWAY EVENT IN MILTON, FL

FAYETTEVILLE, GA – Lane Whittington of Denham Springs, LA won the 25-lap Feature Race Friday night for the United Sprint Car Series Presented by K&N Filters. Whittington led every lap, and won every race he entered Friday night. He earned the Pole Position by winning the six-lap Hoosier Racing Tire Speed Dash, and he also won the eight-lap Engler Machine & Tool First Heat.

The defending and 15-time USCS National Champion Terry Gray of Bartlett, TN finished second. The National Sprint Car Hall of Fame Inductee also won the Butlerbuilt Racing Products second eight-lap Heat Race.

Fourth-generation driver P.J. Reutimann of Zephyrhills, FL took the third spot, and fourth went to Spencer Meredith of Hernando, MS. Blake Bowen of Dothan, AL was fifth, and John Robicheaux of Gulfport MS drove to a sixth-place finish. Jason Breeland of Sandy Hook, MS finished seventh, and Jeff Whittington of Ripley, MS took the eighth spot.

Blake Mallette was ninth, and Jake Brashier of Denham Springs, LA started 14th and rounded out the top ten to earn the Wilwood Brakes Hard Charger of the Race Award. The race had to be red flagged during the four-wide salute to the fans because of an accident on the road leading to the track, and a patient had to be life flighted from a pit area landing pad.

Once the cars were pushed off for a second time, and the race got started, Whittington took the lead followed by Gray, Reutimann, Meredith, and Willingham. Breeland passed Willingham for fifth on the second lap. Breeland’s visit in the top five was short-lived, however, as he slowed to a stop in turn four on lap seven to bring out the only caution flag of the race.

The top five for the restart was Whittington, Gray, Reutimann, Meredith and Bowen. That’s the way the top five ran for the remaining 18 laps of the 25-lap race. Gray’s second place finish padded his point lead, as he closes in on his 16th USCS National Championship, and he needs two more wins to reach a career milestone of 100 career wins with USCS.

The United Sprint Car Series Presented by K&N Filters returns to Southern Raceway on Saturday night for a 30-lap Feature Race. For more information about USCS, visit their website at uscsracing.com and the series Facebook page.

BLUE RIDGE, GA – July 12, 2024 - Dr. Kyle Amerson was in the house at Sugar Creek Raceway on Friday night with a win in the 25-lap Feature Race for the United Sprint Car Series Presented By K&N Filters. The scoresheet may have said Amerson led all 25 laps, but that was after trading sliders on restarts with Jeff Oliver of Pendergrass, GA.

Amerson pulled away on the last restart to score his third career USCS victory, and move into the top ten of the Southern Regional points. Oliver finished second and third went to National Sprint Car Hall of Fame Inductee and the 2021 USCS National Champion Danny Smith of Chillicothe, OH.

Trey Meredith of Dade City, FL was fourth, and the defending and 15-time USCS National Champion National Sprint Car Hall of Fame Inductee Terry Gray started eighth and finished fifth to earn the Wilwood Brakes Hard Charger of the Race Award.

Prestin Dalton of Covington, TN finished sixth, and Terry Witherspoon of Jacksonville, FL came home in the seventh spot. Tyler Porter of Pinellas Park, FL finished eighth, and Jeff Willingham of Ripley, MS took the ninth spot. Joe Larkin of Suwanee, GA rounded out the top ten.

Amerson took the lead from the pole position while Oliver slid Meredith in turn two to take the second spot. Meredith jumped the cushion in turn two which opened the door for Smith and Dalton to move up to third and fourth respectively on the opening lap. The first of four caution flags came out on lap four when Porter spun in turn four.

On the restart, Oliver threw a slide job pass on Amerson by diving low in turn one and sliding up in front of the leader in turn two. Amerson then performed the crossover down the backstretch by going to the inside and sliding up in front of Oliver in turn three. Merdith got by Dalton to take over the fourth spot on lap nine.

By lap 15 Meredith had caught Smith to challenge for the third spot, and made the pass for the position on lap 16. The red flag was displayed on lap 17 when fourth generation driver P.J. Reutimann of Zephyrhills, FL flipped in turn two. He climbed out of the car uninjured. Amerson pulled away from Oliver on the restart by covering the bottom of the race track.

Smith threw a slider on Meredith in turn four to reclaim the third spot on lap 17. By lap 20, Amerson had pulled out to a 1.948 second advantage over Oliver. Larkin brought out the third caution flag of the race on lap 21 when he spun in turn four. It was another sliderfest between Amerson, Oliver, Smith, and Meredith on the restart, but it was all for naught.

Dalton spun out of the fifth spot in turn four on the restart to bring out the caution flag for the final time. Amerson was able to pull away from Oliver in the five lap dash to the finish and take a 2.377 margin of victory under the checkered flag in a race that took 26 minutes and 25.578 seconds to complete.

STENHOUSE SLIDES TO USCS TALLADEGA SHORT TRACK WIN

EASTABOGA, AL – April 19, 2024 - The 2023 Daytona 500 Champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr. of Olive Branch, MS won the 25-lap Feature Race on opening night of the Alabama Gang Classic for the United Sprint Car Series Presented By K&N Filters on Friday night at Talladega Short Track. Stenhouse began his Sprint Car career 20 years ago with USCS before moving up to NASCAR.

Stenhouse worked the outside groove to chase down early race leader Hayden Martin, also of Olive Branch, MS, and challenge for the lead in the last ten laps of the race. Stenhouse threw a slider in turn one on lap 20, and bumped wheels with Martin as they raced close coming off the second turn. Stenhouse was able to complete the pass down the backstretch.

Martin held on to finish second and third went to National Sprint Car Hall of Fame Inductee Sammy Swindell of Germantown, TN. Dale Howard of Byhalia, MS was fourth and another National Sprint Car Hall of Fame Inductee, 15-time USCS National Champion Terry Gray of Bartlett, TN came back from a lap seven spin to take the fifth spot.

Lance Moss of Cherryville, NC finished six and seventh went to Brad Bowden of Hernando, MS. Elijah Gile of Phoenix, AZ took the eighth spot and Gunnar Setser of Columbus, IN was ninth. Jeff Willingham of Ripley, MS started 15th and rounded out the top ten to earn the Wilwood Brakes Hard Charger of the Race.

In preliminary action, Stenhouse won the Engler Machine and Tool first eight-lap Heat Race, and the Butlerbuilt Racing Products second eight-lap Heat Race was won by Martin. The Hoosier Racing Tire Speed Dash was cancelled due to weather that caused an hour rain delay.

Martin led the field into turn one on the initial start of the race, but the first of two caution flags came out on lap one when Brianna Lawson of Southern Pines, NC spun in turn three and collected Setser. That necessitated a complete restart that once again saw Martin grabbed the lead from the pole position followed by Howard, Stenhouse, Gray, and Swindell.

Stenhouse passed Howard for the second spot on lap four, while Gray moved up to challenge Howard for third on lap six. Gray looked to the inside of Howard in turn four on lap seven, but spun to the infield to bring out the caution flag. Martin led Stenhouse, Howard, Swindell and Moss down for the restart.

Swindel passed his teammate Howard for the third position on lap ten, and Stenhouse was gaining on Martin, as the leader caught lapped traffic on lap 12. Stenhouse was camped out on Martin’s rear nerf bar by lap 15, and found some clear race track to throw a slider to the inside of Martin going into turn one on lap 20.

The two leaders raced side-by-side, as Stenhouse slid up the banking in turn two. The lead duo made slight contact coming off the second turn, and Stenhouse took the lead down the backstretch. On lap 25, Stenhouse took a 1.892 second margin of victory over Martin under the checkered flag, in a race that took 11 minutes and 36.843 seconds to complete.

The United Sprint Car Series Presented By K&N Filters will return to Talladega Short Track on Saturday night for night two of the Alabama Gang Classic. For more information visit the USCS website at uscsracing.com and the series Facebook page, or call the series office at 770-865-6097.

Friday’s program would be for Factory Stocks, CRUSA Modified Sportsman, CRUSA 602 late Models, and IMCA Mod Lites. Pit gates would open at 4 pm, grandstand gates at 5:30 pm and hot laps would get underway at 7pm with racing to follow.
Saturday the program will go on unchanged as far as racing classes and will include all the Friday classes plus adding the FWD/Hummer division. To expedite the show, the start times will change. Pit gates will open at 2 pm, grandstand gates at 4:00 pm and hot laps will be at 5:30 with racing slated to start at 6 pm sharp!
Friday grandstand admission prices will be $15 for adults, Kids 6-11 $1, and 5 & under are FREE. Pit entry will be $30 for adults, $20 for Juniors (6-11) and 5 & under are FREE.

SMITH POUNCES FOR LATE RACE PASS TO WIN SOUTHERN RACEWAY USCS RUN

MILTON, FL – February 24, 2024 - Mark Smith of Sunbury, PA rode in the catbird’s seat for 27 laps, and pounced in lapped traffic with three laps to go to take the lead. Smith went on to take his tenth United Sprint Car Series Presented by K&N Filters win at Southern Raceway since 2019 on Saturday night in Round 9 of the Winter Heat Series.

Terry McCarl of Altoona, IA led the first 27 laps of the race and was looking for his second straight win at Southern Raceway after posting the USCS win on Friday night, but the second-generation National Sprint Car Hall of Fame driver had to settle for the second spot. Mark Covington of Glenpool, OK finished third, and Mark Ruel Jr. of Jacksonville, FL was fourth.

Corbin Gurley of Hebron, IN drove to a fifth-place finish and Lance Moss of Cherryville, NC started 12th and finished sixth to earn the Wilwood Brakes Hard Charger of the Race Award. Seventh went to the 2023 National Sprint Car Hall of Fame 360 Sprint Car Driver of the Year Jason Martin of Liberal, KS, and Bradley Fezard of Bonnerdale, AR finished eighth.

Van Gurley Jr. of Valparaiso, IN was ninth, and the defending 15-time USCS National Champion and National Sprint Car Hall of Fame Inductee Terry Gray of Bartlett, TN rounded out the top ten.

In preliminary action, McCarl won the six-lap Hoosier Racing Tire Speed Dash to earn the Pole Position for the Main Event. The pair of eight-lap Heat Races were won by Austyn Gossel in the Engler Machine & Tool First Heat, and Smith in the Butlerbuilt Racing Products Second Heat.

McCarl took the lead from the pole position at the start of the race, followed by Smith, Brett Wright of East Chatham, NY, Gossel, and Ruel. Covington charged up from the eighth starting spot to pass Ruel for fifth on lap two, and Gossel took over the third spot from Wright on lap three.

While McCarl began to pull away from Smith at the front of the field, Covington passed Gossel for third on lap nine, and Ruel got around Gossel for fourth on lap ten, Gossel’s issues got worse on lap 11 when he spun in turn one while running fifth to bring out the first of three caution flags.

That moved Gurley back up into the top five, but that was short-lived for the moment, as Wright took over the fifth spot on the restart. By the halfway point of the race on lap 15, McCarl held a 1.308 second lead over Smith. The second caution flag came out on lap 19 when Todd Bliss of Baton Rouge, LA, cut down a left-rear tire in turn one.

During the caution period, Wright stalled out of the fifth spot on the backstretch as the field was getting set for the restart. Wright was able to restart, and he stalled once again on lap 21 to bring out the third and final caution flag of the race.

When the field went back to green flag action, McCarl and Smith pulled away from Covington in third, while Gurley passed Ruel for the fourth spot. With five laps to go, McCarl held a .803 second lead over Smith, but lapped traffic loomed ahead. As the leader entered turn one on lap 28, McCarl drifted to the outside of a lapped car and Smith pounced to the inside.

Smith came off the bottom of turn two with the lead, put another lapped car between himself and McCarl for good measure, and held the lead to the checkered flag with a .863 second margin of victory over McCarl.

“I tried to stay close enough to Terry until we got into lapped traffic before I could make a move,” Smith said. “It’s easier to make a move when you’re running second because Terry had to slow down for the lapped car and decide which way he wanted to go, and he had no idea how close I was. When he went high, I committed to the bottom and made the pass.”

The next two events for the United Sprint Car Series Presented By K&N Filters will be at Hattiesburg Speedway in Hattiesburg, MS on Friday night, March 1, and Saturday night, March 2.

TIMMS TAKES NIGHT TWO $3000 AT USCS HENDRY COUNTY MOTORSPORTS PARK STOP

CLEWISTON, FL – SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3RD 2024 - Ryan Timms of Oklahoma City, OK won the 30-lap Main Event on Saturday night in Night 2 of the United Sprint Car Series Presented By K&N Filters Winter Heat event at Hendry County Motorsports Park. It was Timms’ second win in the last three USCS Winter Heat races.

Timms came from the second starting spot to take the lead from polesitter Chris Martin of Ankeny, IA on lap seven, and never looked back to take the win. Mark Smith of Sunbury, PA finished second and Mark Ruel Jr. of Jacksonville, FL took the third spot. Danny Sams Jr. of Northport, FL was fourth and Lance Moss of Cherryville, NC came home in the fifth position.

Sterling Cling of Tempe, AZ finished sixth, and seventh went to Wayne Johnson of Oklahoma City, OK. Corbin Gurley of Hebron, IN was eighth and Brendan Mullen of Grand Forks, ND took the ninth spot. Christopher Thram of Sanborn, MN started 21st and finished tenth to take the Wilwood Hard Charger of the Race Award.

The three eight-lap Heat Races were won by Ruel in the Engler Machine and Tool First Heat, Smith in the Butlerbuilt Racing Products Second Heat, and Moss in the Huggins Cams Third Heat.

Martin took the lead when the green flag came out to start the Main Event followed by Timms, Smith, Moss and Davie Franek of Wantage, NJ. Lap two saw Franek pass Moss for the fourth spot, and Franek moved up to third on lap four getting by Smith. Timms rallied around Martin to take the lead on lap seven, but the field stayed bunched up with a caution flag on lap nine.

Timms led Martin, Franek, Smith and Moss down for the restart, and Franek got by Martin to take over the second spot. At the halfway point, Timms held a .755 second lead over the Friday night winner Franek, who had Martin battling him for second. Smith held the fourth spot and Ruel got by Moss for the fifth position.

The top five positions in the race changed dramatically on lap 21 when the lapped car driven by Gunnar Setser of Columbus, IN spun and collected Franek and Martin, putting all three cars out of the race. With Franek and Martin done for the night, that moved Smith, Ruel, Sams, and Moss up to second through fifth respectively behind the leader Timms.

The last five laps of the race saw Timms with clear sailing, as he pulled away from the field to take a 2.961 second margin of victory over Smith under the checkered flag.

FRANEK FLIES TO USCS VICTORY AT HENDRY COUNTY

CLEWISTON, FL – February 2, 2024 - Davie Franek of Wantage, NJ took a wire-to-wire win in the 25-lap United Sprint Car Series Presented By K&N Filters Feature Race Friday night at Hendry County Motorsports Park. The event was Round #4 of the 2024 USCS Winter Heat Series and the first of two nights at the South Florida track.

Mark Smith of Sunbury, PA worked his way up from the fourth starting spot early in the race to take the second spot, and Ryan Timms of Oklahoma City, OK rallied from the 12th starting hole to finish third. Danny Sams III of Northport, FL was fourth and fifth went to Wayne Johnson of Oklahoma City, OK.

Canadian driver Glenn Styres of Ohsweken, ON finished sixth, and Mark Ruel Jr. of Jacksonville, FL took the seventh spot. Chris Martin of Ankeny, IA started 24th and finished eighth to take the Wilwood Hard Charger honors. The ninth spot went to Brandan Mullen of Grand Forks, ND, and Lance Moss of Cherryville, NC rounded out the top ten.

In preliminary action, Johnson earned the pole position for the Main Event by winning the six-lap Hoosier Racing Tire Speed Dash. The three eight-lap Heat Race winners were Smith in the Engler Machine & Tool First Heat, Franek in the Butlerbuilt Race Products Second Heat, and Moss in the Schoenfeld Headers Third Heat.

Johnson took the lead at the start of the race followed by Franek, Styres, Moss and Smith, but the caution flag came out before the lap could be completed. That necessitated a complete restart, and this time it was Franek taking the lead from the outside of the front row followed by Johnson, Styres, Smith and Moss.

Smith got by Styres for the third spot on lap two, and he moved up to second on lap three getting by Johnson. Franek held a 1.5 second lead over Smith on lap five, and Sams moved into the top five, getting around Moss. Smith closed to within a half a second on Franek on lap seven, and Styres passed Johnson for third on lap eight.

Sams made a big move on lap nine, getting around Johnson and Styres to move up to the third spot. The caution flag came out on lap ten, and Franek gave up a 1.3 second lead over Smith. Franek led Smith, Sams, Styres, and Johnson down for the restart. Johnson passed Styres for fourth. Franek built up a one second lead over Smith, but that was gone with a lap 14 caution flag,

Timms got busy when the field went back to green flag action, as he moved by Styres for fifth on the restart, and then passed Johnson for fourth on lap 15. Franek opened up a 2.6 second lead on Smith by lap 18, and Timms passed Sams for the third spot on lap 19.

The last five laps of the race saw Timms move up to challenge Smith for the second spot, as Franek pulled away. At the checkered flag, it was Franek with a 3.870 second margin of victory over Smith, who nipped Timms for second by .184 seconds.

TIMMS TALLIES TEN GRAND IN VOLUSIA USCS SOUTHERN SPRINT CAR SHOOTOUT FINALE

January 27, 2024 - DeLEON SPRINGS, FL – Ryan Timms of Oklahoma City, OK chose the low road to race to a $10,000 payday on Saturday night in the 30-lap finale of the 2nd Annual Germfree Southern Sprint Car Shootout for the United Sprint Car Series Presented By K&N Filters on Saturday night at Volusia Speedway Park driving the Citgard/Mystic Lubricants Special.

The 17-year-old driver started fifth and took the lead from Justin Peck of Monrovia, IN with an inside move coming off the fourth turn on lap 19. Timms then held his inside line after a late-race caution flag necessitated a green, white, checkered finish to hold off Peck and seal the deal.

Thursday night's winner Sam Hafertepe Jr. of Sunnyvale, TX finished third, and Friday night’s winner Austin McCarl of Altoona, IA came back from an early race spin to take the fourth spot. Danny Dietrich of Gettysburg, PA started 14th and rallied to finish fifth to earn the $100 Hard Charger Award plus the Wilwood Disc Brakes Hard Charger contingency.

“I found the bottom groove early in turns one and two and got by Hafertepe for second, then it worked in three and four to get by Peck to take the lead,” Timms said. “I was pretty frustrated when that late caution flag came out, but I remembered to stay on the bottom after the restart. I’m just super stoked to get this win.”

Sixth through tenth respectively went to Cameron Martin of Ankeny, IA, Davie Franek of Wantage, NJ, Danny Martin Jr. of Sarasota, FL, Tyler Clem of St. Petersburg, FL, and Eric Riggins Jr. of Charlotte, NC.

In preliminary action, Danny Sams III of Northport, FL took the $100 Fast Qualifier Award among the 38 entrants with a lap around the ½-mile clay oval in 14.296 seconds. The four eight-lap Heat Races were won by McCarl, Peck, Cameron Martin, and Hafertepe. The two 12-lap Last Chance Showdown Races were won by Lian Martin of Binbrook, ON and Ryan Harrison of Rothwell, NTR.

McCarl took the lead at the start of the race followed by Peck, Hafertepe, Ryan Turner of Dunnville, ON, and Timms. Peck and Hafertepe came from the fourth and eighth starting positions respectively on lap one to race into the top three. Peck was able to sail around the outside of McCarl on lap two to take the lead coming off turn four. Lap three saw Timms pass Turner for fourth.

The first of three caution flags came out on lap four when McCarl spun in turn three while running in the second spot. That sent the third-generation driver to the tail of 26-car field for the restart.

Peck brought the field back to green, and Timms worked the inside to challenge Hafertepe for second, but the high riding Hafertepe was able to hold the position. Hafertepe chased down Peck on lap ten in lapped traffic, and charged under Peck to take the lead coming off the fourth turn. The pass was negated, however, as the caution flag came out for the stalled car of Brandon Grubaugh of Ocala, FL.

On the restart, Timms drove off the inside of turn two to pass Hafertepe for the second spot. At the hallway point on lap 15, Peck held a .694 second lead over Timms, with Hafertepe, Cameron Martin, and Franek following in the top five. McCarl had worked his way back up to the eighth spot.

Timms chipped away at Peck’s lead in the next three laps, and caught the leader in heavy lapped traffic on lap 19. Timms stayed on the bottom of the track coming off turn four to take the lead. By lap 25, Timms enjoyed a 2.668 second lead on Peck, Hafertepe, Cameron Martin, and McCarl, who was now back in the top five. McCarl was around Cameron Martin for fourth on lap 28.

On the last lap, Hafertepe got by Peck for second, and just when Timms looked like he would cruise home to victory, Ryan Roberts of Aurora, NE stalled to bring out the caution flag. A single-file restart for a green, white, checkered finish saw Timms bring the field down for the green followed by Peck, Hafertepe, McCarl, and Cameron Martin.

With ten laps to go, Hafertepe shaved off nine tenths of a second to the back of the third-generation driver, followed by Cameron Martin, Thram, and Peck in the top five. On lap 20, the margin between McCarl and Hafertepe was 1.8 seconds, and on lap 22. it was one second. Just when McCarl had victory on the horizon, the caution flag came out.

Racing with USCS brings Stenhouse full circle in his career, as he began racing with the series as a teenager in 2004. Since then, Stenhouse’s career has blossomed into a full-time NASCAR Cup Series career. Last season, Stenhouse also picked up two USCS wins.at Talladega Short Track on the NASCAR Talladega April weekend.

Other notable entered and expected entries include Sprint Car Hall of Famer and seven-time Knoxville Raceway 410 sprint Champion and five-time Knoxville Raceway 360 Sprint Car Nationals Champion, Terry McCarl from Altoona, Iowa. McCarl is also a previous Volusia Speedway Park winner in USCS competition. McCarl will also be accompanied by the 2023 Knoxville Raceway 410 Sprint Car Champion and his son, Austin McCarl, also from Altoona, Iowa, as an entry as well.

A number of Florida based drivers are also expected, including two-time USCS Florida State Championship race winner Danny Martin, Jr. from Sarasota, Florida who recently dominated the field in the 2023 Battle at Barbourville event at Volusia Speedway Park on the first weekend of December. As a teenager, Martin finished in the runner-up spot in the USCS Outlaw Thunder Tour National standings.

There will also be an international flavor in the 2nd Annual Germfree Southern Sprint Car Nationals as Ryan Harrison from Rothwell, England will return to the United States in 2024 for USCS action. Harrison will be joined by a strong contingent of Canadian drivers as well, with at least seven pre-entered for the first sprint car race of the season in the United States.

The entry list of pre-entered and expected drivers is approaching fifty entries for the kickoff to the sprint car racing season in the USA. Drivers are entered from at least fifteen states plus Canada and the United Kingdom for the 2nd annual Germfree Southern Sprint Car Shootout.

A fan-friendly race format will feature a Main Event Redraw among the top eight drivers that include the four Heat Race winners and the top four qualifiers finishing in a transfer position.

$8000+ up for grabs in USCS Flip Flop 50 Sprint Car Shootout and $65,000+ USCS Fall National at Riverside Speedway on Friday and Saturday (October 13th and 14th)

Atlanta, GA – October 8, 2023 – Over $8000 is up for grabs when the United Sprint Car Series Outlaw Thunder Tour presented by K&N Filters winged sprint cars invade historic Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Arkansas on Friday and Saturday, October 13th, and 14th for the 15th annual USCS “Flip Flop 50” Sprint Car Shootout presented by Arizona Sport Shirts. The USCS Outlaw Thunder Tour event is part of the K&N Filters $65,000 USCS Fall Nationals (2023) at the historic and legendary ¼ mile black Gumbo clay oval. The two-day racing event serves as the premier racing event at Riverside International Speedway each season.

The format for the “USCS Flip Flop 50” is a United Sprint Car Series presented by K&N Filters original that is sometimes imitated, but never duplicated. The unique format features twin 25-lap main events with the first starting straight-up and the second starting fully inverted from the finish of the first.

Each of the 25-lap sprint car main events will pay the winner $2500 to win plus lap leader bonus money. The first USCS Sprint Car main event will be started straight up from the positions that drivers earned in the qualifying heats and the K&N Filters Pole Scramble on Friday night. The winner of the first 25-lap main event will be inverted to the final starting position in the second 25-lap A-Main event, that will start fully inverted from the finish of the first main event. Should the winner of the first main event also win the second main event from last position they will receive a $2500 Bonus for the accomplishment.

Winged Sprint Car drivers from ten or more states are expected to enter the USCS Flip Flop 50 field. Entries have already been received from Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, and Tennessee. A thirty plus USCS Sprint Car field has been the history on the USCS flip Flop 50, and this year appears to be one of the strongest and most talented group of entries.

Two well known National Sprint Car Hall of Fame inductees are already among the entries. Both got their start at the historic West Memphis, Arkansas facility (Riverside Int. Speedway) as teenagers and went on to National prominence. The first would be 14-time USCS Outlaw Thunder Tour National Champion, Terry Gray from Bartlett, Tennessee, who also leads the current USCS National point standings. The other is three-time World of Outlaws Champion, five-time Chili Bowl National Midget Champion, Sammy Swindell of Germantown, Tennessee.

The USCS presented by K&N Filters winged sprint car racing format on Friday night at 7:30 pm features a racing program that includes the sprint car qualifying heat races for Saturday night’s first USCS “Flip Flop 50”, 25-lap main event. The top eight qualified drivers via passing points then compete in the K&N Filters Pole Scramble sprint car event. The K&N Filters Pole Scramble finishing order will determine the line-up for the front four rows of the first of Saturday’s USCS “Flip Flop 50” 25-lap main events.

On Saturday evening at 6:00 pm the USCS winged sprint cars will contest a series of B-Main/Last Chance Qualifying races that determine the final line-ups for the first of the two 25-lap main events. The first main event will start the field straight-up from their final qualifying order and pays $2500 to win plus lap-leader bonus money. The second 25-lap main event will start with the field inverted from the finish of the first main event. The winner of the first race will start in the last position (22nd). That race will also pay $2500 to win. As previously stated, a bonus of $2500 will be paid to any driver who can win both races after winning the first sprint car main event and starting last (22nd) in the second event.

Joining the USCS Outlaw Thunder Tour winged sprint cars for the $65,000+ USCS Fall Nationals will be two other winged sprint car divisions. Those are the M.S.C.A. Winged 305 Sprint Cars who will be racing for $1500 to win in their 25-lap main event on Saturday night after running the same qualifying format as the USCS Outlaw Thunder Tour winged sprint cars on Friday night.

Sammy Swindell to compete in 15th Annual USCS Flip Flop 50 at Riverside on October 13th and 14th

Atlanta, GA - October 5, 2023 - Three-time World of Outlaws Champion, Five-time Chili Bowl Midget Nationals Champion and National Sprint Car Hall of Fame Inductee Sammy Swindell from Germantown, Tennessee has entered the 15th Annual USCS Flip Flop 50 sprint car speed spectacular at Riverside International Speedway on Friday and Saturday. October 13th and 14th.

Swindell participated in the inaugural USCS Flip Flop 50, when his brother Jeff Swindell won the first half of the twin 25's. Sammy won the second half of the 25-lap contests with Jeff starting in 22nd position and racing all the way back to the runner-up spot.

He has been back several times since that inaugural event to compete in the USCS FlipFlop 50, but hasn't been able to reach the USCS Victory Lane again. He says "That's not the plan this time".

He will be driving a team car to two-time USCS Mid-South Thunder regional series Champion and three-time 2023 USCS winber Dale Howard's #47 sprint car. Sammy will be in the #47s team car for the weekend's action.

He warmed up for balance of the upcoming 2023 events he has on his schedule last Saturday night (9/30) at Riverside by winning his heat race, then leading the majority of the 25-lap Riverside 360 Fall Nationals main event before finishing third after getting caught up in lapped traffic in the closing laps.

Although his schedule has slowed down from those WOO touring days, he has raced seventeen times this year and has four wins to show for it in Winged 360 Sprint Cars. Those wins came at two Colorado track's and, two at Arizona's Vado Speedway just a couple of weeks ago.

Swindell is looking forward to getting back behind the wheel at one of the track's he competed at weekly as a young driver and seeing his fans. Those were in the days before he hit the road to track's all across the Nation and became one of sprint car racing's all-time greats.
