MicaShowTime Speedway (Pinellas Park, FL) April 19, 2014 – Florida Pro Truck driver Mica Williams, captured his first Pro Truck win in the first Southern Pro Am Truck Series’ Larry Moyer Memorial 81 Lap Pro Truck Race at ShowTime Speedway.  ShowTime Speedway’s packed house of racing fans and the friends and family of the late Larry Moyer endured the drizzle to watch an exciting Saturday night of Pro Truck racing.  Many of Moyer’s friends were in the pits working on the Pro Trucks while some strapped on their helmets to race.  Dave Pletcher and Bob Spaeth were two friends that raced in the Memorial Race.  Pletcher drove the number 74 Moyer Motorsports Pro Truck, and Spaeth, who drove the number 2 Pro Truck and finished eighth, wore one of Moyer’s old racing suits.

With a light rain drizzle, fourteen Pro Truck drivers started the main feature race to not only battle each other, but also to battle wet track conditions.  Mica Williams’ driving skills were showcased as he worked past local fan favorite Jay Zolciak and held off fierce competitors in Becca Monopoli and Jessica Murphy.  Williams brought home $3,000, was fitted for a Championship Lug Nut Ring and he earned additional bonus money for leading at the halfway mark.   An anonymous and close friend of the late Larry Moyer donated the bonus money for the halfway leader. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

KORPI TOPS E-MOD 50 – LIRA WINS IN PRO LATES AT NEW SMYRNA SPEEDWAY

winner 4-18-14

Photo Courtesy of Jim Jones Photography

It was a nice and breezy Easter Eve at New Smyrna Speedway Saturday night and along with a big Easter Egg hunt for the kids, there was plenty of great Stock Car Racing action for both young and old alike.  The big event of the evening was a 50-lap showdown for the E-Modifieds and it was defending track champion Jarrett Korpi of Deltona making it known early on that his would be the car to beat as he topped the rest of the competitors in qualifying with a lap of 19.367 seconds with Earl “Junior” Beckner his closest challenger at 19.542.
The pill draw was a two that meant Korpi and Beckner would simply swap starting spots on the front row for the feature.  At the drop of the green, Korpi wasted little time taking the top spot while Beckner was forced to come from the back of the starting grid because he was late to line up on pit road.  Korpi continued to set a hot pace but Cody Blair was not far behind in second until his car shut off on lap seven and he coasted to a stop.  Blair made it back to the pits where his crew quickly diagnosed the problem and he returned to the race.  Korpi maintained his advantage following the restart but Beckner was now up to second and beginning to apply some pressure.  Roger Benton spun in turn two on lap 16 to bring out the yellow once again.  On the restart, Beckner powered to the front and began to pull away.  On lap 35, Beckner got loose and spun coming off turn two but managed not to hit anything or be collected by anyone else.  Beckner restarted from the rear of the field leaving Korpi in charge once again.  From that point, Korpi pretty much had it in cruise control as he claimed his third win of the new season over Blair and Matthew Green.  Beckner, battling an extremely loose race car, held on to take fourth just ahead of Robert Glover.  Benton, Jim Higginbotham, Mike Dahm, Jon Compagnone and George Dahm rounded out the finishing field. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Chastain takes second straight win at Desoto Speedway

cc

By SCOTT LOCKWOOD
Desoto Speedway
When it comes to Pro Truck racing at Desoto Speedway, Chad Chastain seems to have figured out the quick way around the three-eighths mile oval early this season.
In a near replay of last month’s Pro Truck feature, Chastain grabbed the lead at around the halfway point of the 50-lap feature and drove on to his second straight win at the Bradenton raceway.
Outside polesitter Gerald Campbell grabbed the lead at the start and led a four-truck freight train around the track for the first 20 laps. Chastain moved past Darvalics for second on lap 16 and began stalking Campbell for the lead.
As the field completed the 22nd lap, Campbell and Chastain ran up on the back of a lapped car. Darvalics, running third at the time, made slight contact with Chastain coming off turn 2, causing Chastain to spin wildly down the back stretch. Race officials sent Darvalics to the rear of the field while Chastain was allowed to keep his spot in second.
On the restart, Campbell, Chastain and Bradenton’s Danny Anderson battled for the lead. One lap later, Campbell lost control of his truck coming out of turn two. The spin also collected Anderson, whose truck was not badly damaged and was allowed to resume the race in second place. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
