William’s Wins “Masters of the Pro’s” 144 Claims First Green Jacket

Salem, IN (July 4, 2017) – Cole Williams has been a strong performer for several seasons in a Pro Late Model, winning track championships in that class at both Lebanon I-44 Speedway and Fairgrounds Speedway Nashville, but Williams has now put himself in contention to be one of the top Pro Late Model drivers in the country with his win in the Short Track U.S. Nationals at Bristol Motor Speedway on May 21st and a dominating win in last night’s JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Presented by Chevrolet Performance Masters of the Pro’s” 144 at Lebanon I-44 Speedway.

“This is awesome, I’ve wanted to get the green jacket and a win in this event since it started,” remarked Williams in victory lane. “To get this win means a lot for our team, getting the win at Bristol was awesome, and then to follow it up with winning this race, this is unbelievable. I have a lot of fans at this track, it’s great to have their support. I couldn’t do it without this awesome team and the support of my sponsors and my family!”

Williams took advantage of his outside pole starting position after Fury Race Cars Fast Qualifier Michael Clancy Jr. drew a seven for the events invert. Williams powered around the outside of pole sitter Austin Kunert to grab the early lead. The win did not come easy, even though Williams led all 144 laps of the event, the first time anyone has ever done that.

Williams had to fight off challengers on seven different restarts through the event, drivers who battled hard with Williams for the lead included Chandler Smith, who briefly passed Williams, the only car to do so all night, but a yellow flag came out right after the pass before a lap was scored, giving the lead back to Williams.

Other challengers for the lead included series points leader Jack Dossey III, Cole Rouse and Stephen Nasse, who battled with Williams from the green flag after the lap 100 break until a flat tire ended Nasse’s charge and brought out a late yellow with six laps remaining. Williams then held off the late charge of Dossey III to get the win and the $8000 payoff and the coveted green jacket. Williams was awarded the AR Bodies Cool Move of the Race for holding off all challengers to get the win and the Earnest Performance Lap Leader Award.

“Those guys all raced me hard, but clean,” added Williams. “Nasse had a good car, but I kept him on the bottom so he couldn’t keep his momentum up. It was a tough 144 laps, the toughest I’ve ever ran!”

Dossey III would match his best series finish with his second straight second place finish to add to his series points lead and picked up his second straight FLUIDYNE Cool Under Pressure Award. Cole Rouse came from his 11th place starting position to finish in third place and earn a Great Lakes Tire/Hoosier Performance Award and the Racing Electronics Hardcharger Award. Smith hung on to get a fourth place finish. Austin Kunert came back from having to go to the tail twice during the event to get a fifth place finish and earned the Sweet Manufacturing Sweet Move of the Race Award.

Local racer Mandy Chick would come back from an early spin to finish in sixth, her all-time series best finish. With that finish she earned a Great Lakes Tire/Hoosier Performance Award and the VanDoorn Racing Development Rookie of the Race Award. Nasse would battle back from his late flat tire to finish in seventh. Local racer Kaleb Allison finished in eighth place. ARCA Racing Series veteran racer Joe Cooksey finished in ninth place. Rookie Thomas Hufferd finished in 10th place in his series debut, his pit crew picked up the PitBoxes.com Pit Crew of the Race Award for their hard work all weekend on Hufferd’s car in their first ever race at I-44.

Wallace Survives Tough Battle to get Parallax Power Supply Redbud 400 Victory

Salem, IN (June 26, 2017) – To say Saturday night’s Parallax Power Supply Redbud 400 Presented by Mitch Smith Auto Service and Perfecto at Anderson Speedway was a battle would be an understatement, is was a war, as two of the best short track racers in the country battled it out over the last portion of the event, including a final five lap shoot out that settled the war with former NASCAR competitor Stephen Wallace getting the ARCA/CRA Super Series Powered by JEGS win over 2016 CARS Super Late Model Tour Champion Raphael Lessard.

“Man what a race,” remarked an excited Wallace in victory lane. “That was some tough short track racing tonight. This is a big win for me, my dad and my uncle tried to get a win here in this event, but the best they ever finished was second. Lessard and I both leaned on each other a lot there at the end. I wasn’t going to just let him pass me and get the win, I was going to do whatever I needed to get back around him and get the win!”

Three time ARCA/CRA Super Series Champion Johnny VanDoorn was the EDCO Welding Fast Qualifier and took the lead at the drop of the green flag from his pole starting position and led the first nine laps before Florida driver Jeff Choquette powered by to get the lead on lap nine.

Choquette looked to have the dominate car leading until a lap 125 restart, when VanDoorn managed to get by, but Choquette passed VanDoorn to regain the lead on lap 131 and pulled out to the largest lead anyone would enjoy all night. VanDoorn quickly faded and would then go to the pits for several laps for repair work on his car before returning to log laps before retiring from the event with a 13th place finish.

Choquette was working through the back of the field when he made contact with Jack Smith, who was the last car on the lead lap, resulting in both cars spinning and Choquette making connect with the outside wall ending his day on lap 179.

Florida racer Stephen Nasse took over the lead and led until Lessard went to the front on lap 213. Lessard would lead until pitting under yellow on lap 265. Wallace had pitted earlier and took over the lead on lap 266 and would stay out front, while from second on back was a constant battle over the next 100 laps.

A late caution set up the final run to the finish on lap 395. Lessard would get past Wallace on the first restart, but the caution flag flew, with the field going back to the previous lineup with no green flag scored, giving the point back to Wallace.
The pair took the green for what would be the events last restart, Wallace choose the outside where he would have more momentum and grip, giving the inside to Lessard. The two were side by side throughout lap 396. Slight contact between the two gave the lead to Lessard on lap 397, Wallace would then use the bump and run to grab the lead back on lap 398, from there Wallace would go on to get the win with both competitors cars showing signs of the tough battle.

“He’s a wild son of a gun,” Wallace said of Lessard after the race. “He raced me pretty clean, it was just the last five laps. I’m not going to turn over on my back and say, ‘Hey, you go win.’ We raced the hell out of each other, beat the crap out of our cars, but they’re all in one piece and we won the race.”

Besides the $10,000 first place payoff, Wallace also picked up a $5,000 bonus put up by Anderson Speedway if the event winner had never finished in the top five of an ARCA/CRA Super Series or JEGS/CRA All-Stars Toru race at Anderson Speedway before the 2017 season. Wallace picked up the AR Bodies Cool Move of the Race Award for his pit strategy that got him the lead. Wallace also picked up the Earnest Performance Lap Leader Award for leading the most laps.

Lessard would get passed by several more drivers after the contact from Wallace and ended up in fifth place.

“We had it won on that last restart,” remarked Lessard. “We both raced hard, but he hit me really hard and got me sideways after I took the lead, that’s the way he likes to race I guess. Will come back better and I’ll remember how he raced me next time!”

2011 Redbud 300 winner Steve Dorer would finish in second place, with his car showing the most damage of anyone in the top five. Dorer picked up a Hoosier Racing Tire Performance Award. Stephen Nasse would hold on to get a hard third third place finish and picked up the FLUIDYNE High Performance Cool Under Pressure Award. JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour competitor Jack Dossey III would finish in fourth place after battling back from a near spin after contact from Lessard that cost him a bunch of positions.

Eddie Van Meter would finish in sixth place after making several pit stops during the second half of the event to work on his race car. For all their hard work to keep Eddie on the lead lap and a sixth place finish, Van Meter’s pit crew received the PitBoxes.com Pit Crew of the Race Award.

Fred Hopkins would finish in seventh place, coming from his 21st starting position, which earned him a Hoosier Racing Tire Performance Award and the Hamner Racing Engines Hardcharger Award. 1997 series Champion Kenny Tweedy finished in eighth place, the last car on the lead lap, it was his first race with the series since 2013. Rookie Logan Runyon finished in ninth place and picked up his second Senneker Performance Rookie of the Race Award for the 2017 season.

The next ARCA/CRA Super Series event will be the Circle City 100 on Friday, July 21st at Lucas Oil Raceway. More information on all the CRA Series is available at www.cra-racing.com.

Smith wasted little time coming from his eighth place starting position to close on Deuser’s tail and start applying pressure to Deuser. Smith looked under Deuser several times but was not able to complete the pass before finally getting around him with a power move in turns three and four. Deuser tried to go back under Smith but couldn’t make the pass, then made contact with third place Josh Brock trying to get back behind Smith creating a caution when Deuser and Smith both spun in the back stretch.

Smith officially grabbed the lead on the lap 27 restart and looked like he would cruise to the win until several late event cautions bunched up the field giving several drivers the opportunity to race with Smith and for the top four positions including Austin Kunert, Dossey III, Michael Clancy Jr. and Carson Hocevar. Dossey II was able to stay with Smith and looked to have the faster car as the laps started winding down.

A lap 96 caution bunched up the field for a sprint to the finish. The first restart on lap 96 resulted in a caution when contact between Hocervar and Clancy Jr. resulted in Clancy Jr.’s car hitting the wall hard in turn one ending his night. Smith and Dossey III were side by side as the green flag flew for the final restart with Smith taking full advantage of the top side of the track to grab the lead and the win.

Braden’s Wild Finish Results in Winchester 400 Win

Coughlin Wins 2016 Series Championship

slm-cra-winchester-400-braden-vl-gun-10-09-16-537x350Salem, IN (October 10, 2016) – The Winchester 400 is a grueling 400 lap event that tests drivers and their equipment but Sunday’s 45th Annual Winchester 400 on the famed High Banks of Winchester Speedway will mainly be remembered for the last five laps that saw a driver that went from looking like he was out of contention to victory lane. Those final laps and the win did not come without a lot of controversy.

The wild finish started when second place running Stephen Nasse got into leader Raphael Lessard, Lessard then got back into Nasse slowing both cars and allowing Dalton Sargeant to dive low underneath both cars. Sargeant and Nasse made contact resulting in Nasse making hard contact into the wall and collecting Lessard, ending both drivers days on lap 395. Sargeant was sent to the tail of the lead lap cars for being involved in the yellow setting up the dramatic five lap finish.

During the red flag while the track crew cleaned up the Nasse and Lessard wreck, two-time ARCA/CRA Super Series Champion Travis Braden’s car was pushed to pit road, unable to start because of a dead battery. The crew frantically went to work and managed to get the battery changed and get Braden back on the track just before the restart. The lap cars at the back of the field all waved Braden by, giving Braden the opportunity to start at the tail of the four remaining cars on the lead lap. (more…)
