Keene Scores Wire-to-Wire Win at Desoto

KeeneSCOTT LOCKWOOD - The last time Daniel Keene Jr. turned a wheel at Desoto Speedway six years ago, he found himself sitting in victory lane.

That layoff proved not to be a detriment to Keene, who led all 75 laps of Saturday night’s Turner Tree & Landscape Super Late Model feature event at the three-eighths mile oval.

A 12-car inversion put Keene and Brian Blum on the front row, with fast qualifier Jesse Dutilly of Bradenton and Sarasota’s Anthony Campi being forced to start 12th and 11th respectively. Keene jumped out to the lead on the start and began pulling away until the caution flew for Dusty Cornelius’ spin on lap 10.

Dutilly moved up to seventh by the 15-lap mark. On a lap 22 restart, Dutilly was sixth with Campi directly behind in seventh. Campi and Dutilly were fighting side by side for fifth when a spin by Bradenton’s Dennis Colletti brought out the yellow flag. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Donny Schatz Hits Jackpot in FVP Outlaw Showdown in Las Vegas

Tony Stewart Racing star earns his eighth World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series feature victory at The Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway

030614_SCHATZ_VL2LAS VEGAS – March 6, 2014 – Donny Schatz became the first repeat winner in the 2014 World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series season when he bested 20-time champion and his Tony Stewart Racing teammate, Steve Kinser, to win the FVP Outlaw Showdown on Thursday night at The Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

The win means Schatz is four victories from tying Mark Kinser for third all-time.

It was an all TSR front row as Kinser started on the pole of the 30-lap feature with Schatz to his outside. Kinser took the early lead with Schatz close in tow. Kinser was able to gain some distance over the next few laps as Jason Sides would enter the battle on lap 3, passing Schatz for second place.

Sides caught Kinser on lap five and in turn three, he shot to the bottom. Kinser powered off of four to hold the lead and moved to the bottom the next lap to defend the position. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

McMahan Shrinks His Bucket List with Las Vegas World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series Victory

Takes lead on lap 19 of FVP Outlaw Showdown, holds off Kinser in the final laps for first win of 2014

030614_VEGAS_VLLAS VEGAS – March 5, 2014 – Paul McMahan charged to victory on Wednesday’s opening night of the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series FVP Outlaw Showdown at The Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Kinser gave it everything he had but was unable to drive past McMahan, settling for a runner-up finish as Brad Sweet blew through the field and finished third after starting 16th. Joey Saldana was fourth after spending much of the night battling for a podium position and Donny Schatz rounded out the top five.

Madsen jumped to a strong lead, but a spin caused a caution and a complete restart. On the second start McMahan was ready and able to keep pace with Madsen before a caution on the next lap. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Orlando SpeedWorld Season Opening Night for 2014

Orlando Speedworld LogoIt was in mid-April 1974 that Orlando SpeedWorld’s oval race track started operation and Friday night’s season opener will mark the beginning of the 40th anniversary celebration for the three-eighths-mile facility that has hosted weekly racing events, major sanctioned races from the likes of USAC, All-Pro, Florida Pro Series and many more plus the ever-popular Crash-A-Rama shows.

The adjacent drag strip began operating ten years earlier, in 1964, and both were initially built and owned by Billy Herndon before being purchased by Clyde Hart in late-1987. Clyde’s son Robert continued to operate the facility until last year when Ozzy Moya took over the reigns.  The first race held on the oval track was a Limited Sportsman event won by the late Ed Meredith in a 1965 Chevy Chevelle. The big race on opening day was for Late Model stock cars and was won by the late Gene Johnson of Fort Pierce.

Johnson’s stepson, Doc McKinney, still competes at SpeedWorld to this day.  After a somewhat dismal 2013 plagued by some unforeseen management issues and terrible weather, SpeedWorld is bouncing back with a vengeance this year.  Moya has named Donnie Vivier as General Manager and he will oversee day-to-day operations of the track as well as helping promote the drag strip. Vivier recently operated the highly successful Central Florida Racing Complex in South Orlando. CFRC opened its doors in 2009 as the Central Florida Road Course, and as it evolved, it developed into an autocross and drifting course as well as a one-eighth-mile drag strip. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
