| Goodyear Challenge heads to Bronson Motor Speedway for Mother's Day Weekend | by Jane Smith
Samsula, Fla. (May 7, 2007) The Goodyear Challenge Late Model Series makes it's second appearance this Saturday at Bronson Motor Speedway in Bronson, Florida. This will mark the fifth race of the year for this fast growning Late Model Series.
On April 7, it was Doug Moff who won the 100 lap event at Bronson making it his second win in a row after taking the checkered at New Smyrna Speedway on March 17.
"We are really proud of this series:, said Race Director Scott Jackman. "The car counts have been really good and so have the races. We love coming to Bronson and this is our last appearance here this year and we are hoping for a great car count and really good crowd."
Doug Moff goes into race five leading the points but not far behind him is Joe Winchell who knows what it is like to win at Bronson also. Winchell, who ran Hialeah Speedway, does really well on short tracks and Bronson just shows off Winchell's driving skills. "Bronson is a challenge but who doesn't love a challenge," said Winchell.
Third in points in Rich Clouser. Clouser, who finished fifth in the last race, is a repeat Champion having won the Goodyear Challenge Late Model Series Championship in 2005 and 2006.
"My first experience at Bronson was in a Super Stock and I really liked the track. It is even more challenging in a Late Model. Here you can't make mistake or you will end up in the wall. Anytime you come back from Bronson and your car drives into the hauler, you have had a good night," said Clouser
Darren Brown, who was the 2006 Late Model Champion at New Smyrna Speedway, is leading the points in the Rookie field and stands fourth in points for the Goodyear Challenge. But only two points behind Brown in fifth is Justin Larson. Larson, who is sponsored by Skinner Nurseries, recently won his first Goodyear Challenge race at Orlando SpeedWorld.
Completing the top ten in points are Daniel Keene, Jr., J.R. McMickel, Drew Brannon, Chuck Burkhalter and Greg Kaouk.
There will be open practice Friday night, May 11, at Bronson Motor Speedway for all divisions.
On Saturday, May 12, along with the Goodyear Challenge Late Model 100 will be the Florida Legend Car Touring Series and Bandoleros, Race Cars of Yesterday, Sportsman, Hobby Stocks and Thunder Stocks.
And for all the Mothers out there, the first 100 Mothers receive FREE flowers for Bronson's Mother's Day celebration plus a BEST MOM CONTEST.
