Top Guns and Minis Highlight Ocala Winged Thunder

by BJ Cavin- Ocala Speedway Media

OCALA, FL-  As heavy thunderstorms rumbled in the northern and western sections of Marion County, the rumbling in the central section of the county came from the historic Ocala Speedway and the engines of the Top Gun Sprint Car Series.  Adding to the noise were the Florida Mini Sprints, plus the Tee Pee Tire Hobby Stocks and Ocala Speedway’s own Gladiator Division, as an excited crowd was treated to an exceptionally competitive night of racing action.

Larry MacMillan Memorial 100

By Jack Smith

Three wide action in the Larry MacMillan Memorial 100

Three wide action in the Larry MacMillan Memorial 100

When you can get 33  open wheel modifieds show up for a 100 lap race in central Florida these days it is a big deal.   So it was at Citrus County Speedway this past Saturday night, a big deal indeed for the first Annual Larry MacMillan Memorial 100.

While most asphalt tracks these days in Florida would be happy to get half as many,  Citrus seems to have found something with the modifieds.  There were enough cars to run a “B” Main, which earned the top two cars in the 20 lap race a trip to the night’s featured 100 lap event.  Interestingly, two of Florida’s top drivers, both track champions and winners of major events, did not  finish high enough to get in the feature.  Mulberry’s  Wayne Morris and New Smyrna Beach’s Jerry Symons,  one of the best to ever race at New Smyrna  Speedway,  had to pack up and watch from the grandstands.

TYLER SMITH DOUBLES IN LEGENDS – SOZIO TOPS TRUCKS AT AUBURNDALE SPEEDWAY

by Dave Westerman

 After a week off to celebrate the 4th of July, Auburndale Speedway returned to action Saturday night with another huge crowd of fans, 92 cars in the pits and several first-time winners in their respective classes for 2010.

The Legend Cars took center stage on the evening running a pair of 25 lap feature events. The first feature had barely gotten under way when a three car tangle sent Danielle Stratton’s car flying through the air after she ran over the back of Roger Englund’s machine. Both Stratton and Mike Gleason had to take their cars pit side for repairs although both were able to return for the second feature. Englund was able to continue after removing a rear fender.

Pole sitter Jake Perkins led the first five laps but Devin McLeod got by him to lead the next pair of laps. Young Tyler Smith had his car dailed in to perfection though and snatched the lead from McLeod on lap nine. From that point the race ran to the checker without another yellow flag as Smith copped his first win of the year. McLeod held on for second with Gerald White, Jr.

grabbing third late in the going ahead of Mason Ketterman and Perkins who dropped to fifth by the time the checker flew. Darin Coker, making his first start of the year here, started 18th and worked his way up to sixth at the finish with Dave Gleason, Lynn Wiles, Matt Larmore and Zach Napoleon rounding out the top ten.

The top six from race one drew pills for the top six starting positions in feature #2 and Smith drew the pole spot. That pretty much was all she wrote as Smith dominated the second 25 lapper which ran green to checker without a caution. Gerald White, Jr. and McLeod took second and third while Perkins took fourth and Ketterman fifth. Coker again was sixth trailed by Dave Gleason, Larmore, Napoleon and Seth Adams.

The Auburndale Trucks were back in action and there was plenty to be had in their 25 lap run.

Zach Harris, coming off a win the night before at Orlando SpeedWorld, won the heat and had the pole for the feature but could not hold off a hard-charging Tim Sozio who sped to the front on lap six. Sozio got just a bit loose though allowing Nick Hernandez and Mad Mike Smith to move into the front two spots. The lead pair then began a crowd-pleasing battle that culminated in them tangling in turn one at the start of lap 17.

Both Hernandez and Smith were sent to the back of the pack for the restart and Sozio took advantage to score his first win of the year despite the late race efforts of Tommy King who, although he had to settle for second, took over the point lead in the division. Brent Tyler raced to a third place finish followed by Hernandez and Harris. A great field of Sportsman cars saw Richard Elkins, Jr. and Brandon Duchscherer split heat race wins. Elkins grabbed the early lead only to see a tire fly off Eddie Hartin’s new car just as the first lap was being completed to bring out the yellow. Elkins continued to lead as Bart Weatherford moved to second and began to put on the pressure. The field was slowed a second time as Josh Todd spun his new ride on lap six.

Elkins and Weatherford continued their spirited duel with things coming to a head on lap 14 as they tangled in turn four. Duchscherer was also involved trying to get by as the right side sheet metal was ripped from his car. Dave Dunkin also couldn’t avoid the melee and had to pit with a deflated left front tire. With Elkins and Weatherford sent to the rear for the restart, Duscscherer kept his now “air conditioned” racer on the track and inherited the lead. Dunkin pitted and returned to the track but also had to restart from the back. Despite the damage to his car, Duchscherer easily led the remaining laps to score his first Sportsman win of the year. Justin Reynolds of Cocoa made his first-ever start at Auburndale a good one with a second place finish ahead of Mark Medeiros, Chris Lewellen and Todd. Lance Daubach made his first start in a brand new car and took sixth while Elkins, Duncan, Weatherford and Brett Jenkins completed the top ten.

Kyle Peters had been knocking on the door all season long and this week simply knocked the door down as he totally dominated the usually competitive field of Street Stocks.

Peters handily won the heat race then ran off and hid in a feature race which was slowed just once on lap five for a wild front stretch crash that eliminated the cars of Mike Rowland and Chris Spring. Peters finished a full straightaway in front of second place Kyle Hall who had Dave Colpritt on his bumper the entire distance. Cody McDuffie took fourth and Bobby Mobley was fifth. The remainder of the top ten were Matt McCrary, Jeff Waterman, Joe Dowdy, newcomer Jerrell Cook and Spring.

The Southeast Champ Karts sponsored by Jim Hite Pest Control made their third appearance of the year and put on an incredible show. There were four different official lap leaders in the 25 lap feature with Mitch Stevens and Ed Brillhante taking the checker in a virtual dead heat before Stevens was deemed the winner by a mere inch. Unlike previous races which would see lots three, four and five kart single-file “drafts,” there was plenty of side-by-side, three-wide, even four-wide racing the entire distance.

Trailing Stevens and Brillhante to the stripe were P.J. Letourneau, Tim Simmons and Alan McKinney with Wesley Gonzales, Romay Venta, Phil Harp, Kyle Worden and Ryan Walters rounding out the top ten. Brillhante officially led

14 laps, Stevens led laps three through six before taking the win at the line, Gonzales led twice for four laps and Simmons was credited with leading one lap. Heat wins were taken by Rusty Chancey and Billy Smith yet neither cracked the top ten in the action-packed feature.

The V-8 Bomber feature had plenty of wild action from start to finish but the end of the race was incredible as Preston Davis took to the outside lane on the final lap and passed Bobby Mobley for the win after Mobley had led the from the green flag. It was Davis’ second win in a row with Mobley having to settle for second just barely in front of third place Larry Chumney, Sr. Travis Roland became about the 50th different driver to wheel the #42 car this year and he drove to a fourth place finish just ahead of Gene Harrison. Grizzled veteran Edward Howell took the checker in sixth trailed by JamesWright II, newcomer Mark Roadarmel, Buddy Phillips, Jr. and Jeff Lacy. Mobley won the heat.

Doug Hopper of New Port Richey took the measure of the visiting Outlaw Modifieds. Hopper won the heat then led all the way to claim his second win of the year here. Billy Campbell took the runner-up spot followed by Mike Endee, Tom Meyer, Ric Mills and Mel-Mel Braden, Chris Spring added to his point lead in the Mini Stock class by scoring yet another feature victory. Young Gary Brown was impressive as he claimed the second spot ahead of heat winner Fred Harrison, Jr., Jason Swilley and Dwight Ryals.

The biggest Bandolero field of the year saw Teddy Lively take his third straight win over Mark Bibeau and Daniel Conlin, Jr. Cameron White took the checker in fourth but claimed the 8-11 year old Bandit class trophy. Andy Metz was fifth.

This Saturday night the Late Models return for 100 laps and $3,000 to win. Also on the card are the Mini Cups, Modified Mini Stocks, Kids Club, V-8 Bombers, Scramblers, and Mini Stocks. Racing starts at 7PM. Pits open at 2 PM. Open practice will be held both Thursday and Friday evenings this week. For more information call 863-551-1131 or log on to www.auburndaleracing.com.

The Challenger Challenge Highlights Action at VSP

by VSP Media

BARBERVILLE, FL- Volusia Speedway Park returned to action on Saturday night after some time off over the 4th of July holiday weekend, and the extra week of preparation, or healing as it may be for some, paid off for the racers and fans.  The night’s events were highlighted by the 4 Cylinder Challenger Challenge, plus fans were thrills by exciting racing from the Daytona Dodge Chrysler Jeep Late Models, the Budweiser Modifieds, the Daytona Sportswear Street Stocks, and the Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants Thunder Stocks.  and as an added bonus, fans were treated to racing from the Daytona Antique Auto Racing Association (DAARA) plus an autograph session with the vintage cars and their drivers at intermission.

The Challenger Challenge gives the 4 Cylinder racers a moment in the spotlight, plus offers them extra incentive as the race pays $500 to win.  Throw in another $100 from Astor Recycling and the Challengers were more than ready to go at the track and each other, getting off to a rather rocky start but settling down for 20 laps of green flag racing.

Once everyone decided to race instead of wreck, Tony Laporta wasted no time in getting to the point and leading the field.  Steve Cox gave chase and managed to keep close to Laporta, but eventually succumbed to James Sullivan who grabbed the second spot on lap 12.  Casey Feaster had come into the night as the current points leader, and was busy making his way from a ninth place starting position into the top five, while Davey Wolf had a good run going, challenging for as high as third place at times.

But no one had anything that could threaten Tony Laporta as he raced to the checkers and the winner’s check.  James Sullivan followed in the second spot, while Steven cox placed third.  And after a back and forth battle over several laps, Casey Feaster wrestled fourth place from Davey Wolf, who finished fifth.

Donnie Chappell has been clawing his way up the points ladder with the Daytona Dodge Chrysler Jeep Late Models at VSP, and Saturday’s feature race certainly did not hurt that effort.  But as good as Chappell was, Matt Hartley was better as he continues to rehab after knee surgery, and what better way to heal than to grab another solid win over a stout field of late model racers?  Hartley’s win came in a race that went green from start to finish, with Donnie Chappell claiming second place over Lawton Minchew.  Current points leader Joe Kump was in the top five as he placed fourth, and Darrell Padgett raced his way into the fifth spot.

The Budweiser Modifieds saw Jeff Mathews come through the pit gate with something to prove, but first he had to overcome James Smith who had the pole and was not in any mood to relinquish the lead.  Mathews started in the 6th spot, but quickly rocketed past everyone to attack Smith by lap five, then grabbed the lead for himself on lap 6 and never looked back.  The final 13 laps ran caution free as Jeff Mathews extended his lead for the win, with James Smith following for a distant second place run.  Kent Corbin held on to place third, and Jamie Carter battled his way up to fourth place.  And Kyle Bronson climbed into the 66 car on Saturday night, then drove it to a fifth place finish.

There was quite a bit of back and forth going on at the front of the Daytona Sportswear Street Stock field as Tim Hughes, Mike Tovet, and Philip Brown, all tussled over the lead from time to time.  But after a few cautions for this and that, plus some hard racing, Hughes developed a loose condition and began slipping backwards, leaving Brown and Tovet to fight over the top position.  Mike Tovet then snatched the lead for good on lap 6 and went on to score a win, while Philip Brown settled for the second spot.  Billy Medders placed third, while James Smith and Bubba Christian rounded out the top five finishers.

Scott Mooers may have a firm grip on the Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants Thunder Stock points lead, but Chad Scranton and Luke Sadler have given him plenty of stress over the past few races.  And after being caught up in someone else’s calamity and leaving his last Thunder Stock outing at Volusia Speedway Park on a hook, Mooers was in no mood to take prisoners on Saturday night.  So when Scranton blew past him with ease and Sadler got past him later in the race, Mooers found himself the third car to cross the finish line as the checkers waved.

Chad Scranton may have been able to enjoy a celebration in Victory Lane, but was summoned to tech immediately after leaving the track, and further inspection by officials resulted in his disqualification.  That made Luke Sadler the race winner and moved Scott Mooers up to second place, while David Whitt earned a third place finish.  John Thorpe was fourth, while D.J. Nobles moved up to the fifth place spot.

 
Some fans may have suspected that the Daytona Antique Auto Racing Association drivers do not actually race their vintage machines when they come to Volusia Speedway Park, but do not try to tell that to Ronnie Rohn of Jacksonville, who backed his 1955 Chevy stock car into the turn 3 inside wall causing significant damage to the rear of that original bodied machine.  T. J. Roberts of Adel, Georgia, also had misfortune in turn 3, as his 1935 modified Chevy had to leave the track on a hook.  Some may be faster than others, but the DAARA cars are racing when they get the green flag. Four divisions of DAARA cars competed on Saturday night, with Steve Parrish winning with the Flathead Stocks, Dave Cash beating the rest of the Caged Sprint Cars, Bill Wendt topping the Flathead Midgets, and Lonnie Roberts dominating the Modified Stock Cars.

Volusia Speedway Park is back in action next Saturday, July 17th, as the Top Gun 360 Sprint Car Series and the Florida Mini Sprint Association highlight the night’s racing.  In addition top the winged sprint action, fans will see Volusia’s own Budweiser Modifieds and Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants Thunder Stocks return for another week of high speed thrills.  For more information, please be sure to visit www.VolusiaSpeedwayPark.net.
