“The Locomotive” Johnny Collins Derails Field in 3rd Annual Scott Thompson Memorial

By Rick Anges


Barbersville, Fl. (7/19/2008)- When Tonya Moschell the General Manager of Volusia Speedway Park was quoted as saying “I think the most important thing for everyone to understand that this will be the biggest Late Model race on dirt in Florida this season.” She had no idea that it would actually be as huge as the turn out would be.

Scott Thompson was one of the most popular drivers at Volusia and was the Late Model track champion in 2005 and was on his way to being the 2006 National Late Model Series Rookie of the Year when he tragically lost his life in a non-racing auto accident.

Ken Kinney of the United Dirt Late Model Challenge Series and Ray Miller of the N...

Johnny Collins Wins Thompson Memorial at Volusia

By Phil Schryver KARNAC Media


Volusia County, FL (Volusia County Speedway) July 21, 2008. This past Saturday night three separate Late Model series joined together to honor the memory of Scott Thompson in the annual event held at Volusia County Speedway.

The three series included the Volusia Late Models, the National Late Model Series, and the United Dirt Late Model Series. For all three series to be able to come together, each having variations in their rules, and to be able to put on such a big event was amazing.

Not only were there three race directors involved, but also 3 separate announcers, two flag men, and countless other hard working staff from each group who ...

CHELSEA SCHILLIG BEATS THE HEAT FOR GREAT ISCARS DASH SERIES FINISH



By Dave Westerman

Apopka FL's Chelsea Schillig was back in action for her second race in the International Sport Compact Auto Racing Series (formerly Goody's Dash Series),the Charles Ray III Diabetes Foundation 150 at Dillon, SC Motor Speedway last Saturday night and despite some early problems, ended up having a very good
night.

The heat was a huge factor at Dillon Saturday, so much so that Chelsea actually fainted from heat exaustion while helping prepare her Roy Walker Racing/Yadkin Valley Generators Toyota Celica for the first practice session.

Despite this, the 17 year old speedster refused to miss the opening practice session but only ran about ten laps...

Second Leg of Triple Crown set for August 2nd at USA International

by Jane Smith

Lakeland, FL (July 23, 2008) The second leg of the Triple Crown is right around the corner at USA International. The “best of the best” Super Late Models throughout Florida and nearby states will come and try their luck for 125 laps of action packed Super Late Model racing.

The first leg of the Triple Crown saw Tim Russell of Longwood set fast time for the 29 car field on a very hot June afternoon. Following Russell was Jeremy Colangelo, Travis Cope, David Wilson and Fain Skinner. Russell pulled the 7 pill for the inversion putting
Veteran racer Daryl Shelnut on the pole.

It seemed that being in the front was not a good place to be as leaders fell out just as it looked like their day. Travis Cope, Daryl Shelnut and Dewayne Dempsey saw their...

Derrick Horton New Figure 8 Champ at CCMP



BY Linda Jericka

(Punta Gorda,FL) Charlotte County Motorsports Park
It was the last race of the night but deserves the highlighted race of the evening.

“Go Figure” , that’s right the figure 8 race. The figure 8 race at Charlotte County Motosports Park is becoming one of the popular classes at CCMP, because of the run what ya brung, and hope ya brung enough rule and what driver is having the most fun attitude.

This class is made up of Little 4cyl cars, big v8 cars, big trucks, little trucks and even sportsman, and it is not always the fastest or toughest looking cars that win, but it has been the big orange 93 car driven by Jeff Firestine that has come in first ...

Clouser tops Goodyear Challenge Series

by Mark Keeler

(07.19.08 - Samsula, Florida) The stars and cars of the Goodyear Challenge Series took center stage on Saturday night as twenty drivers signed in for the 100 lap main event.

Alan Bruns (#4B) out of Clermont set quick time on his first lap with an 18.137 before loosing it on lap two and going around on the backstretch. “I thought I screwed up the first lap so I was going for it... it was my fault, had I not screwed that up I think I could’ve been quicker” said Bruns before the race. Second quick time went to 17 year old Jessica Murphy (#26) also out of Clermont, with an 18.154, “I got a good qualifying run and we’re starting up front... we’re here to win, so we’ll see what happens.”

Bruns drew a five pill for the inversion, pushing him back ...

Real Racin USA Media

Hopefully all the drivers and crews of the United Dirt Late Model Challenge Series have recovered from the "Golden Isles Marathon". What a night of racing at the Georgia speedway, lasting until well into the night.

Drew Brannon Oh So Close At Concord

By Jack Smith

Concord Motor Speedway can be a place for nightmares. With its long, curving super fast back straightaway, drivers are carrying a lot of speed into turn three and the the scary tight turn four. It was the scene this past Saturday for the ASA Late Model Series Southern Division 100 lap event.

"Concord is a very challenging track with that dogleg, also very fast," Drew explained.

Two early cautions were needed to settle the field down at the tough 1/2 mile.

The Brannon Racing/UB Machine Inc #08 was a tough car to drive for Drew Brannon on Saturday. The youngster from Miami, Florida was able to beat the ASA legend Butch Miller to turn one to take the early lead and would r...

Auburndale Speedway Turns Away Well Known Sportsman Driver

By Phil Schryver - KARNAC Media
