Don Young races to career-first USCS victory in Randy Helton Memorial at East Alabama

East Alabama Motor Speedway: June 20, 2008 - Phenix City, AL - On a night to remember, twenty year-old Don Young from Bartlett, Tennessee battled his way to victory lane in the 2nd Annual Parts Plus United Sprint Car Series Randy Helton Memorial Race at East Alabama Motor Speedway on Saturday night. It was the 2007 Parts Plus USCS Rookie of the Year driver's career-first feature win in the series. The night's events commemorated the racing career of former United Sprint Car Series racer Randy Helton who passed away suddenly in March of 2008.

Young bested several of the Nation's top winged 360 sprint car drivers including the previous night's feature winner (at Penton Raceway), Terry Gray from Bartlett, Tennessee who finished in the runner-up spot after leading the first six laps of this speed contest. While in the lead on lap seven, Gray encountered a lapped car that slowed his progress momentarily and Young raced past into the lead. Young never looked back and endured several later caution periods with Gray and the June 13th Riverside Speedway feature winner Marshall Skinner from West Memphis, Arkansas on his rear bumper.

After each re-start Young raced out to a five to six car-length lead infront of the two past series champions. Young's final test came when the caution flag flew on lap twenty-eight when Brian Thomas blew a left rear tire of his #67 sprinter and came to a halt just past the flag-stand. This set up a green-white-checkered dash to the finish line. Young would then prove he was ready for his first visit to the USCS victory lane. The race re-started with defending Champion, Terry Gray and past Champion and former East Alabama Motor Speedway feature winner, Marshall Skinner tucked in behind as the the green flag flew. Young once again raced away from the two veterans to finish three car lengths ahead of Gray with Skinner in-tow behind them in third place.

In sort of a d�j� vu finish Gray who was the runner-up in the 1st annual Randy Helton Memorial Race collected the runner-up spot pay check this time, followed by Skinner who finished in the third position this time around just like last year. Second-generation sprint car driver Matt Linder from Hoschton, Georgia who finished in the fourth position may have had the fastest car at the end of the race, but ran out of laps. Linder raced from a twelfth place starting position to finish fourth and garnered the Lunati "Crank It Up" Award for passing the most cars in the main event. Rookie sensation Justin Carver from Drummonds, Tennessee had another impressive run with a win in the Parts Plus Power Dash, a second place finish in the Butlerbuilt Second Heat Race and a fifth place finish in the main event.

The next group of finishers was led by talented eighteen year-old Florida young gun Matt Kurtz from Jacksonville, Florida in sixth place. Kurtz was followed by seventeen year-old rookie driver Jon Stinson from Memphis, Tennessee who also continues to improve and impress while in a solid the fifth position in the National point standings. Veteran racer Brad Wickham from Rutherfordton, North Carolina who moved up in the National standings into sixth position after the weekend's back to back double points events, finished in the eighth position in this race. Veteran sprint car racer, Bob Auld from Largo, Florida finished in the ninth position and rookie sprint car driver Dennis Lykins, Jr. from Peachtree City, Georgia rounded out the top ten drivers.

Rookie of the Year point's leader Justin Carver won the 6-cars, 6-laps Parts Plus Power Dash. Don Young also raced to the win in the Engler Machine and Tool First Heat. Seven-time series Champion, Terry Gray collected the victory in the Butlerbuilt Second Heat. The Hoosier Tire Young Guns award for the top finishing driver under twenty-five years old in each event went to the 20 year-old Don Young. Seventeen year-old Justin Carver garnered the RE Technologies Rookie of the Race honors.

Just as a year ago, the race was won by Jeremy Scott from Franklin, Georgia. Scott at the time was another driver who had not scored a victory in the series. Last season's 1st Annual Randy Helton Memorial Champion retired after winning the event. Scott was in attendance at the 2009 event as a crew member on two sprint cars.

The next race for the Parts Plus United Sprint Car Series Outlaw Thunder Tour traveling troop comes in just six days on Friday, June 26th at the famed Carolina Speedway in Gastonia, North Carolina ( near Charlotte, NC ).

With more than fifty legendary Champions and Challengers from the � mile Gumbo speed-plant's storied past looking on, Wade Oliver led the first two laps of the contest around the tacky racing surface while Skinner charged past rookie Casey Rowland from Nesbit, Mississippi who started third and then past veteran Dewayne Prince from Munford, Tennessee to finish lap one in the runner-up spot. On lap three Skinner charged past Oliver and started to put distance between he and the field.

A lap-thirteen caution flag for Ronny Howard's expired engine found Skinner with five lapped cars between he and Wade Oliver in the second position with Dewayne Prince, Raymond Stull from Independence, Mississippi and defending Parts Plus USCS Champion Terry Gray from Bartlett, Tennessee in the top five. Stull jumped the cushion in turn one on the lap following the re-start and eighth starting A.G. Rains from West Memphis, Arkansas raced past him into the top five. The same misfortune befell Dewayne Prince on the fifteenth lap and Gray and Rains advanced past him into the third and fourth positions respectively.

On lap twenty-two while chasing Skinner through lapped traffic Oliver contacted a lapped car and cut his right front tire down and started to fade. A lap twenty-five red flag halted the field when Kevin Kilpatrick from Millington, Tennessee flipped exiting turn two collecting Brad Bowden from Hernando, Mississippi in the melee. Both drivers' night ended from the damage.

With five laps to go Skinner led the 30-lap contest with seven-time series Champion, Terry Gray in the runner-up spot, but six Gray was now cars back in the re-start order. The 2008 Parts Plus USCS Trick or Treat Fall Nationals Champion A.G. Rains was in third place, Prince held onto the fourth spot and Jeff Swindell from Bartlett, Tennessee moved into the fifth position.

Gray couldn't get close enough over the final five laps to seriously challenge the streaking Skinner and settled for the runner-up spot with Rains crossing the finish line in the third position. Prince, after his best effort of the 2009 season, finished in fourth place and the 2007 USCS Rumble at the River Champion, Jeff Swindell rounded out the top five.

Rookie Casey Rowland from Nesbit, Mississippi led the next group of finishers in sixth position. Ernie Ainsworth from Bartlett, Tennessee charged from fourteenth starting position to finish seventh. 2008 I-30 Speedway track Champion, Justin Sturch from Benton, Arkansas followed those seven in eighth place at the finish. Thursday night's Parts Plus USCS feature winner at Clayhill Motorsports, Lee Sowell from Nesbit, Mississippi finished in the ninth position and Wade Oliver recovered well enough from going to the rear of the field with five laps to go after a tire change to complete the top-ten finishers.

Terry Gray Spoils Tony Stewart's Plans at Carolina Speedway's USCS Event

Gastonia, NC - April 24, 2009 - Seven-time Parts Plus United Sprint Car Series National Champion, Terry Gray from Bartlett, Tennessee won the 30-lap Parts Plus USCS Outlaw Thunder Tour feature race during the Parts Plus USCS Thunder in Carolina event at Carolina Speedway on Friday night. It was the first USCS feature win of the season for Gray over a talent-laden field of twenty-nine competitors from eleven states that included two-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion Tony Stewart from Indianapolis, Indiana who set fast time and won the Engler Machine and Tool First Heat Race in front of a near capacity crowd.

Gray started fourth in the field after Tony Stewart drew a six inversion in the K&N Filters Pole Award drawing on the front stretch in front of the speedway�s packed grandstands. The inversion placed young-gun Tyler Godwin from Tampa, Florida on the pole with 2004 Rookie of the Year Bryn Gohn from Malabar, Florida on the outside of the front row. 2009 Rookie points-leader, Justin Carver from Drummonds, Tennessee and Gray were in the second row and past USCS Champion Johnny Bridges from Cherryville, North Carolina started inside Stewart in row three after setting a second fastest lap of 14.09 seconds.

On initial start the anxious Godwin fired early in an attempt to lead the race into turn one and the start was called off. As the field slowed when the yellow light was displayed on the back stretch to signal the restart, several cars tangled and Stewart unfortunately got the worst of it, rolling his Old Spice #20 several times down the backstretch wall. Josh Weller from Mertztown, Pennsylvania also tangled with Brian Thomas from Pendergrass, Georgia.

Stewart�s great run was over. His talented display included a thrilling and crowd-pleasing outside pass of Weller on lap eight before the first 10-lap heat of the night. He most assuredly would have been a factor in who occupied victory lane in the main event. Both he and Weller went to the pits with their nights over. Thomas re-fired his mount and continued.

After the re-start Godwin jumped out into the lead and Gray who won the Bar�s Leaks Third Heat after setting third quick time, advanced to the second position by the end of lap one. It took him four more laps to reel in the streaking Godwin and captured the lead exiting turn tow on lap five. Gray survived two more caution periods and led the final twenty-five laps to victory lane for his initial win of the season. Tyler Godwin had a USCS career-best runner-up finish. Veteran Kramer Williamson from Palmyra, Pennsylvania who started eighth finished in third place. Matt Linder from Hoschton, Georgia followed in fourth place. Eighteen year-old Nick Bashford from China Grove, North Carolina hustled his new Roush-Yates Ford powered sprinter from an eighteenth place start to fifth place.

The next group was headed by Bryn Gohn, from Malabar, Florida in sixth place. Lunati Crank It Up Hard Charger, Rory Janney from Estill Manor, New Jersey started 21st and finished seventh. 2008 USCS Rookie of the Year, Anthony Nicholson from Bartlett, Tennessee finished in the eighth position. C.J. Miller from Denver, North Carolina finished ninth and fourteen-year old rookie Eric Riggins from Charlotte, North Carolina rounded out the top ten.

Anthony Nicholson won the six-lap Parts Plus Power Dash. Tony Stewart won the 10-lap Engler Machine and Tool First Heat Race. Brian Thomas rolled to victory in the Butlerbuilt Second Heat Race. The Bar�s Leaks Third Heat Race was won by the eventual feature winner Terry Gray. Rory Janney from Estill Manor, New Jersey garnered the Lunati �Crank It Up� Award for his charge past fourteen cars in the main event. First time sprint car racer, Eric Riggins, Jr. from Charlotte, North Carolina garnered The RE Technologies Rookie of race honors. In the NDRA GM Performace Late Model feature it was Billy Thompson leading wire to wire to collect his first win of 2009. Gary Puckett slipped by Timbo Mangum half way through the event to take second with Mangum third, Josh Harwell fourth and Scott Gordon fifth.

Ryan Ayers scored his first career Open Wheel Modified feature win. His late pass of Jamie Kuntz was the winning move that propelled him into City Chevrolet Victory Lane. Kuntz, Cody Hood, Nick Hoffman and Rob McLaughlin followed.

Wayne Curtis was to strong for the Pure Stock Four Field as he sped to the victory. Second through fifth went to Bryan Mullis, Steve Ritch, Micael Brown and Jacob Harrill.

David Carswell rolled to his second consecutive Renegade win. Ronald Pope was second with Kurt Small third, Anthony "Billy Bob" Cable fourth and Greg Jenkins fifth. Carolina Speedway will be back in action this Friday Night May 1st with a full racing program. For more information please visit www.carolinaspeedway.net

Gray completes Parts Plus USCS Thunder in Carolina weekend double at Harris Speedway

Harris, NC - April 25, 2009 � Defending Parts Plus United Sprint Car Series National Champion completed a sweep of the Parts Plus USCS Thunder in Carolina double-header weekend with a win in the series main event on Saturday night at Harris Speedway in front of a near capacity crowd. It was Gray�s second feature win in as many nights after winning on Friday night at Carolina Speedway. Gray drove his sprint car to victory to collect his second win of the 2009 season as well over a field of twenty entries from eight states. The veteran from Bartlett, Tennessee drove his Rislone Oil Stabilizer sponsored Wesmar powered J&J Auto Racing black #10 past early race-leader, Tyler Godwin from Tampa, Florida on lap seven for the lead, then charged to victory lane in the 30-lap feature race. Godwin followed Gray across the finish line to garner his second runner-up spot in two nights.

Gray started fourth in the field after Engler Machine and Tool First Heat winner, Brian Smith from Mooresville, North Carolina drew a six inversion in the K&N Filters Pole Award drawing to place his Capflags sponsored #11s outside row three. The inversion placed veteran Kramer Williamson from Palmyra, Pennsylvania on the K&N Filters Pole Position and Tyler Godwin in the front row with him. Mooresville, North Carolina sprint car rookie C.J. Miller and Terry Gray were positioned in row two. Eighteen year-old Nick Bashford who won the evening�s Butlerbuilt Second Heat Race started his #24X Roush-Yates ford powered mount inside of Smith in fifth position.

On the start Godwin won the drag race to turn one and lead lap one with Williamson, Gray, Bashford and Smith chasing him in that order. On lap four Gray got past Williamson for the second position and 2008 Harris Speedway USCS feature winner, Johnny Bridges replaced Smith in the top five. By lap six, Gray had reeled in Godwin and on lap seven raced underneath him for the lead. On lap nine Smith spun exiting turn four and brought out the caution bunching the field behind Gray. On the next lap Nick Bash ford rollover hard entering turn three bringing out the red flag. This ended his night.

After the field re-started with ten laps complete and twenty go, Gray was leading the order with young gun Godwin in second position, followed by Williamson in third place, the current USCS rookie points leader, Justin Carver from Drummonds, Tennessee was in fourth place, then C.J. Miller and now Josh Weller from Mertztown, Pennsylvania occupying fifth and sixth positions. The next eleven laps went caution-free before the red was displayed again for two cars flipping into turn three. Dain Naida from Belleville, Michigan collided with Rory Janney from Estill Manor, New Jersey with Naida rolling over and Janney taking several hard flips and damaging his car severely. Janney retired for the balance of the event. Naida fired his #6n and re-joined the field. On the re-start Brian Smith spun exiting turn four to bring out the evening�s fourth and final caution.

During the final nine laps Gray left no doubt who was going to lead. Godwin held off Williamson while Carver chased the duo and Weller looked for a rookie mistake from the talented Carver that would never come. Gray raced past the checkered flag first followed by Godwin in the runner-up spot. Williamson collected his second third place finish of the weekend. Carver, who trials Gray in the National point standings by less than thirty points, followed in fourth place. Josh Weller who started eleventh rounded out the top five finishers.

The next group was headed by rookie C.J. Miller in sixth place. Johnny Bridges who went to the rear of the field on lap ten after changing a flat right rear tire, finished in seventh place. Bryn Gohn from Malabar, Florida finished in eighth place. Anthony Nicholson from Bartlett, Tennessee who ranks third in the current Parts Plus USCS National point standings finished in the ninth position.
