Tim Gay wins Limited Late Model Feature at East Bay

By:  Jason Loughren, 07/10/2010  Four exciting classes of cars hit the track for another great night of racing at the Clay by the Bay.  The rains of last weekend were long gone and nothin g but blue sky was over the track as the events started on another action packed night at the best dirt track in the South

The Outlaw 4’s saw double duty which included a makeup feature event from the rain out a few weeks ago.  Amanda Rogers started on the pole and lead every lap on the way to her first victory of the season.  Billy Howard finished 2nd.  Points leader Mathew Haynes finished 3rd.  Stephen Hohlbaugh and Jesse Brown rounded out the top-5.

In the regularly scheduled feature event for the Outlaw 4’s Billy Howard won the feature holding off the late challenge of Keith Heard to take the win.  Heard finished 2nd.  Chris Zimmerman finished 3rd.  Mathew Haynes finished 4th and Cecil Martin rounded out the top-5.

 In the Precision Kia of Wesley Chapel Street Stocks Donnie Reed was involved in a first lap caution which sent him to the back of the field.  Reed was able to withstand the attrition that saw only 6 cars finish the main event to take the win.  The feature win was his 6th of the season. Buck Woodhouse finished 2nd.  Doug Johnson appeared to have a top 3 finish but was DQ’d in post race inspection.  Curtis Book started 18th and finished 3rd.  Roy Woodhouse finished 4th and Shane Grissom was 5th.  Reed and Mike Wilson won the heats.

The Limited Late Models were in action as Forrest Gough dominated the early laps of the race.  Gough was leading in the late laps when he had trouble in turn 2.  Tim Gay was along side of JR Prather, Jr. and took the lead as the cars crossed the line with one lap to go.  Gay held off the challenge of Prather, Jr and Alex Boerner to take the win which was his third of the year.  Forrest Gough finished 2nd.  Boerner finished 3rd.  Bradley battled for a 4th place finish.  Shane Koperda finished 5th which was his first top-5 of the season.  Bradley was victorious in the heat race.

The Motorstats.com 4 cylinder bombers were up next to wrap up the evening as Michael Eaton took the win which was his first ever win at East Bay Raceway Park.  George Handy finished 2nd.  Johnnie Alexander finished 3rd.  Kever Raulerson and Robert Purcell rounded out the top-5. Eaton, Gene Gross, and Kelli Hill went to victory in the heat races.

Five Divisions Crack Up the Heat at Ocala

by BJ Cavin- Ocala Speedway Media

OCALA, FL- A steaming hot night greeted racers and fans at the historic Ocala Speedway on Friday night, but the weather was not the only source of heat around Florida’s toughest 3/8ths mile. Five divisions were turned loose on the track to compete against each other and the conditions, and as one might expect some of the racers were hot, and some were hot in other ways.

The Colortyme Rentals Modifieds highlighted the night’s action as the battle has heated up between Wayne Hammond and Jeff Mathews, and as fate would have it those two went at each other for most of the race. Hammond started in the 8th position while Mathews started 6th, and both wasted no time in pushing their way to the front and then focusing on each other. Hammond looked like a sure bet to beat Mathews for most of the race, as he would fend off every move Mathews could muster then pull away, but a late race caution would hook them up again, and as they took the white flag Mathews had Hammond right where he wanted him. Jeff Mathews drove his 33 machine under Hammond and forced his way past in turn 1while bringing the crowd to their feet, then held on for 3/4 of a lap to take the win. Wayne Hammond had to settle for a very close second, while Jamie Carter drove the 75 machine to a third place finish. Kyle Bronson and “Hollywood” Chip Owen rounded out the top five.

Ocala’s Sportsman Division has been through a lot this season, and Friday night was no exception. From the time that the racers arrived at the pit gate there were rumors swirling that this would be the last Sportsman race at Ocala as a regular division, and a low turnout prompted race officials to restrict the Sportsman cars to a “feature only” format. And while no official word was given as to the fate of the division at Ocala, the racers were told in the driver’s meeting that the division may not be on the revised season schedule which is due to be posted next week.

The car to beat turned out to be John Bradley as he took control early and forced the others to chase him. “Big Frog” Augie Burttram was the lead chaser, but never managed to reel in Bradley. Meanwhile Danny Vogel’s 99 machine never really got going as both Burttram and Bradley passed him easily. John Bradley got the win followed by Augie Burttram in the Dave’s Towing, Big Frog Motorsports 58. Danny Vogel brought the Mills Concrete 99 car to a third place finish, while David Ponton and David Denson were fourth and fifth place finishers.

Ocala’s Mini Stocks have also traveled a rough road to get to this point in 2010, and as a solid field of cars hit the clay for their feature race, little did the drivers realize that the road would get a little rougher following the excitement on the track. Ray Ethridge led the field to the green while Paul Combast, and Nick and Dan Kerr began the race from near the back of the pack. Combast shot up to the fourth spot by lap 2, while the Kerr machines followed him through the field, and on lap 4 Combast was already knocking Ethridge down to second.

While Combast was fast, Nick and Dan Kerr were in no way intimidated and were all over Combast’s car by lap 7. As Nick Kerr tried to pass Combast going into turn 3, Brack Gill spun out in turn two, followed by contact between Kerr and Combast in three. Both Combast and Nick Kerr did an about face in front of the field, but the caution was waving at the same time for Gill’s spin, which gave both racers their positions back for the restart. Dan Kerr’s machine suffered some damage that slowed it, but Nick Kerr was happy to harass Combast enough for two in his place, finally getting past and taking the lead on lap 9 and holding it to the finish.

But after Nick Kerr celebrated in Victory Lane, he left the track to be flagged down for an inspection in the tech shed which resulted in his disqualification. That handed the win to defending division champion Paul Combast, and gave second place to Buddy Pope. Johnny Zackery wound up as the third place finisher while Ray Ethridge moved up to fourth place. And after the required scoring recheck was completed, it was discovered that Michael Oglesby finished in fifth place.

When the Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants V8 Thunder Stocks hit the track the fans know that there is going to be excitement, and again the Thunder Stocks were more than happy to oblige with another of their wild races that took on the look of an enduro. And while the race featured the usual oversupply of contact and property damage, it also provided some red hot action in the front of the pack.

Austin Kirkpatrick and Chris Fontaine had quite the tussle developing during the race with Kirkpatrick finally managing to muscle the 11 car back into the lead on lap 9 after Chris Fontaine had done the same back on lap 3. Unfortunately for Kirkpatrick, the caution waved at virtually the same time and he was relegated back behind Fontaine’s machine for the restart. Kirkpatrick did not see it that way at all, and was furiously battling Fontaine again when his rear axle broke, sending him to the pits with two reasons to be hot on a hot night.

Meanwhile Ryan Lisak had been on fire all night, fighting his way into the top three and staying out of harm’s way as Kirkpatrick and Fontaine fought it out. And with Kirkpatrick gone it was Lisak’s cue to go after the leader, but simply ran out of laps needed to get the job finished. Chris Fontaine picked up another win as Ryan Lisak settled for second place. Michael Stalnaker hung around the top five for most of the race and finished third, while Scott Mooers was fourth and Justin “Bubba” Durbin placed fifth.

Casey Feaster had eagerly told anyone who would listen how he intended to be the points leader at two major Florida dirt tracks at the same time, and at just three points short of the lead at Ocala Speedway he was poised to do just that. But as the night wore on there was no 20 car in the pit area while Feaster and his crew made a quick dash to a parts store and then worked feverishly to replace a faulty starter while sitting in a K-mart parking lot. Feaster arrived at Ocala Speedway just in time to unload and start on the rear of the field for the Gladiator feature race, then he drove it like he stole it in order to make his way into the top three.

But despite all the Casey Feaster managed to accomplish in getting to the track in order to take his best shot at the points lead, current points leader Steven Johnson was just a little better, and had a far shorter and less stressful voyage to get there. Matt Shea and Steven Johnson managed to separate themselves from the rest of the pack during the race, and since the race ran caution free from flag to flag, Feaster had zero help in catching them. EBD Racing’s Matt Shea was by far the dominant car, taking a convincing win as Steven Johnson followed for second place. And although Casey Feaster managed to reel in the top two late in the race, he was forced to settle for third place behind Johnson. Kyle Morse finished fourth, while Devin Walker rounded out the top five.

On Friday, July 16th Ocala Speedway presents a special event, as the Top Gun 360 Sprint Cars will take on the challenging 3/8ths mile track, and the Florida Mini Sprint Association will be back for their first outing at Ocala Speedway since the January Winternationals. In addition to the thrills of winged sprint action, fans will see racing from the Tee Pee Tire Hobby Stocks, and Ocala’s Gladiator Division. Ocala Speedway is due to post the revised 2010 season schedule sometime this coming week, so racers and fans are reminded to check www.OcalaSpeedway.com for updated information.

Kirkpatrick dazzles at New Smyrna, but Mother Nature’s drizzle ultimately won.

By John Berti

New Smyrna, FL -July 1, 2010. Austin Kirkpatrick dazzled a field of 29 Sunoco Florida All Star Tour Super Late Models in qualifying for the 12th Annual Clyde Hart Memorial 100 at New Smyrna Speedway, Thursday evening.

The 17 year old high school junior, at the wheel of the Sonny’s Bar-B-Q #85 Chevrolet, set fast time of the day with a lap around the ½ mile high banked, paved oval in 17.589 seconds.

Another surprise was the fine qualifying time turned in by track regular, Ben Kennedy, who set the second fastest time with a circuit at 17.643 seconds.

Super late model household names finished out the top five qualifiers as follows: B.J. McCleod, 17.664; Wayne Anderson, 17.719; and Jeff Scofield, 17.768.

The stage was set for promising battle between the new wave, young guns of Super Late Model racing and. the wily veterans later on in the evening. Too bad for all that Mother Nature had to step in with rain and in the end it was drizzle that beat out dazzle with the ultimate cancellation of the Clyde Hart Memorial 100 until Saturday, September 4, 2010.

The open wheel modifieds had taken to the track for their 50 lap feature when it began to sprinkle. The sprinkle quickly turned to steady rain which pelted the track forcing a determined track management to end the night’s competition.

New Smyrna Speedway Forced to Cancel Clyde Hart Memorial

Due to rain, all events at New Smyrna Speedway were cancelled on July 1.  The 100 lap Late Model race has been rescheduled for September 4.

Thanks to all the fans and racers who came out to support the event.  New Smyrna Speedway did their best but Mother Nature just did not want to race.

Three DQ’d in Road Warriors, Chris Loney Wins In Tech

By Bill Green, Announcer

Punta Gorda, FL – Mother Nature won last week, but Punta Gorda won this week. As Mother Nature threw everything it had at PGS around 4:30PM and with a slight drizzle falling, racing began in earnest at 7PM. As Perfect Pest Control of Southwest Florida night began, the schedule line up would be changed many times to insure the track could hold the horsepower, tire combination, of the class.

Fab 4’s brought out their feature first as several heat events were shelved for features only in the wake of the drizzle. Feature winner Kerrington McFadden was speechless at his win, but mom was yelling for joy. Linda Badali ran second, with Kyle Rice third, Kim Mabbitt fourth and Jarrett Reynolds fifth.

Mod Mini’s were second up on the track with only three car present, but even with Ronnie Allen running away with the feature, John Pummel Jr and Joe Rice ran side-by-side the entire feature event and gave the crowd a great race lap, after lap. Pummel, Jr won the battle for second.

TQ Midgets went straight to feature event racing, and saw Mike Belusar take the win with Ted Durfee second, the ageless Jake Duffy third, Geoff Stutz fourth and Jamie Barnum fifth. That will mix the points up for the top 3 trio to almost even stevens.

Chris Scott of Nokomis won the Road Warriors Feature, make that four-in-a-row. Beating Rick Reed of Arcadia, second, and Logan Leonard in third. But, closer inspection in Tech saw the top-3 DQ for different infractions, leaving Chris Loney with his first win of the young season. Second would go to Jason Miller, followed by Derrick Horton third, Don Jericka over came a self inflicted head on collision with Blaine Baer to take fourth and Jesse Gargus got the finale top-5 spot.

Bandolero’s brought 4 cars out for the Young Guns seat time and in only his second race ever, Johnny Homes met with disaster as Shawn Hooven slipped up in turn 2, sending the youngster into the back stretch wall just out of the turn. Homes was OK, but the car will need a little work. In the end the winner was Shawn Hooven in Mark Green’s #14 car, followed by brother Mark Hooven second and Reese Chase in third.

Open Wheel Modifieds had the longest feature of the night scheduled at 35 laps and by the end several tempers would flare, and many meeting would be had by several pairs of drivers. Out lasting the ruckus would be the ill running L.B. Skaggs machine.

“It was down on power all night, but it held on til the finish.” stated a smiling Skaggs in Victory Lane.

Second to Skaggs would be a spectacular driver by Phil Morrison of Punta Gorda, chased by a hard charging Sean McLaughlin of Port Charlotte in third. Fourth went to Lehigh Acres’ Johnny Allen, with Sun Shine Speedway alumni Timmy Moore of St. Pete, fifth.

Mini Cups had the #99 of 9 year old Reese Chase, dusting the #99 of 8 year old Johnny Marra, as the Marra car slowly lost air pressure in the right rear.

Legends were back in action with Kevin Hendry taking the win, followed by; Mitch Verhaagh second, Mark Hooven third, Mike Fazio fourth and Carl Haag fifth.

Pro-4’s finished off the 9 class race evening with 15 cars scheduled in the 25-lap feature and Ryan Collver out classed the field for the easy win, with Stuart Vandevender (say that 3 times real fast) second, Phillip Ellis Jr, third in a newly bought replacement car for the first race blown motor car and fourth was Wally Smith, with Ken Badali salvaging fifth.

Next week, July 3 rd , Punta Gorda Speedway is CLOSED for the Daytona races and 4 th of July celebrations. Returning July 10 th with PGS Limited Late Models for 50-Laps, Sportsman for 35-Laps, and including the return of the “COWBOY CADILLACS.” Also on the schedule will be Road Warriors, Pro-4’s, Fab-4’s and the Dwarf Cars.

Webster All the Way in Late Models, Modifieds Fall to Roland at Auburndale Speedway

by Dave Westerman

 A huge crowd of race fans were treated to 292 laps worth of racing Saturday night at Auburndale Speedway. The show was scheduled to begin at 7PM but was delayed a half-hour to allow the long line of fans at the ticket booth to make their way in to witness all of the nights racing activity. A total of 124 cars participated in the show which was still completed at just past 11PM. Twenty-six Late Models made the trip to the speedway with Brooksville’s Daniel Webster setting quick time at 13.543 seconds. Anthony Campi of Sarasota was second quick at 13.682 with Kevin Ingram, Jeff Scofield and Ron Lofquist rounding out the top five in qualifying.

Luck of the draw saw Webster on the pole for the 100 lap headliner and he wasted little time showing he was the car to beat, grabbing a quick early lead in what was to be a caution-plagued race. The first yellow flew on lap ten as Ryan Lisak spun in turn four. The restart would prove costly for several teams Brian Dorer got turned sideways coming off turn four. With the track blocked and nowhere to go, eight cars piled into each other in chain reaction fashion. When the smoke cleared, the cars of Rusty Ebersole, Scott Millar, Chris Fontaine, Randy Plantz and Danny Maddox were done for the night. Despite damage, Dorer, Keith Lilley, George Gorham, Jr. and David Weaver were able to continue.

Webster continued to set the pace on the restart and again on restarts from caution flags on laps 20, 23 and 27, all for minor spins. Campi moved up to fourth spot during lap 32 while Lofquist pulled off the track and out of sixth place on lap 36 as the caution flew once again to see if he had laid any fluid down on the track.

David Weaver brought out the yellow as his badly damaged machine started overheating and watered down the track surface on lap 46. Just as the field took the half-way signal, the caution flew yet again for debris. The running order at lap 50 found Webster in the top position followed by Scofield, Ingram, Campi, Joe Boyd, David King, Perry Lovelady, Bobby Shelton, Josh Todd and Lisak. Just 15 of the starters remained on the speedway at that point.

The second half of the race saw just two more yellow flags for single car spins on laps 64 and 67 and the final 33 laps ran under green as Webster made it a cakewalk, taking the checkered flag a full straightaway in front of Scofield. Ingram held on for third while Campi took fourth and David King a strong fifth. Completing the top ten were Joe Boyd, Perry Lovelady, Bobby Shelton, Ryan Lisak and Josh Todd. The win was worth a cool $3,000 to Webster.

The 40 lap run for the Open Wheel Modifieds was a barn-burner from the start as pole sitter Kevin Macy and Travis Roland ran side by side for five laps before they bumped slightly coming across the start-finish line sending Macy into a long slide into the infield. Track officials deemed it a “racing incident” as the restart found Roland in the lead and an unhappy Macy going to the rear of the field.

From that point the race ran the remainder of the way under green as Roland held off all challengers to score his first win of the year. Fast qualifier James Wright III threw everything he could at Roland but had to settle for second while point leader Wayne Morris finished several car lengths back in third. Harold Crooms took fourth and Bobby Blake fifth while Billy Bectelheimer, Tommy Schnader, Johnnie Newsome, Rick Coffin and Dwayne Dempsey rounded out the top ten.

Old pro Dave Dunkin passed Mark Medeiros for the lead on lap 12 then led the rest of the way to score his fifth Sportsman win of the year. Bart Weatherford slipped by Medeiros for second on lap 16 but could not track down Dunkin before the laps ran out. Medeiros held on for third trailed by Brandon Duchscherer and Richard Elkins, Jr.

Jake Perkins set quick time, then led from green to checker in the 25 lap Legend Car feature. The race was pretty tame for most of the distance until point leader Gerald White, Jr. spun out of fifth place on lap 21 to bring out the only caution. Perkins led the rest of the way for his fourth win of the year as Lynn Wiles took the runner-up spot ahead of Justin Brown, Devin McLeod and Mason Ketterman.

Cody McDuffie led all the way to score his first career win in the Street Stocks. The former Kids Club driver held off a furious last-lap charge by Bobby Mobley to take the win. Mobley was given his chance when the second and third place cars of Mike Rowland and Kyle Hall tangled just before the white flag flew. Following McDuffie and Mobley to the checker were Matt McCrary, James Wright III and Kyle Peters.

Tyler Scofield was also a first time winner as he topped the Mini Cup field, leading every lap. Rick Ragan, Cindarae Irish, Corey White and Cole Partelo finished behind Scofield.

Chris Spring took yet another Mini Stock win, taking the lead from Jason Rendell on lap five and pulling away for the victory. Steve Routt, Jr. was unhurt after a nasty bout with the turn three wall on lap twelve while Fred Harrison, Jr. slowed to a halt on the restart and had to be towed from the track. Trailing Spring and Rendell were Gary Brown, Jr., Kevin Steadman and Mark Wells.

Preston Davis led all the way to snare his first V-8 Bomber win of the year taking an easy victory over Gene Harrison, David Hartin, Edward Howell and Larry Chumney II. Teddy Lively took his third straight Bandolero win over Andy Metz, Cameron White, Daniel Conlin, Jr. and Nick Baluch while Matt Anderson topped the Kids Club feature over Dakota Hunt and Magan Gosselin.

Auburndale Speedway will be closed July 3rd for the Independence Day Holiday, but will re-open On July 10th with the Auburndale Trucks, Sportsman, Mini Stocks, V-8 Bombers, Legends, Bandeleros and Outlaw Modifieds. Racing starts at 7 PM. For more information call 863-551-1131 or log on to www.auburndaleracing.com.
