Bubba Raceway Park Preview: Fire Em Up

By Jimmy Rouse- Bubba Raceway Park Media

This week-end at Bubba Raceway Park it’s the UMP Open-Wheel Modifieds for Double Points and $1500, return of the Hobby Stocks, Mini Stocks, Gladiators, and the Florida Mini Sprints Association in their 4th of 9 races at Bubba Raceway Park.

The UMP Open-Wheel Modifieds have a Mathews Motorsports 1-2 at the front. Jeff Mathews is the points leader by 3 over team-mate Ivedent Lloyd, Jr. Mathews and Lloyd have vast experience as they are both champions at Bubba Raceway Park meaning it could be a battle for the ages between them. Dave Barber is only 31 points behind Mathews and Barber will strive to make the points up quickly and will also be looking for that win. Down 37 to the leader is Kyle Bronson. Bronson was the runner-up last season and is so far the only 2-time winner in the division. Jason Davis is 43 back but has been steadily getting that Snow Bros. Modified up to the front and he could take that win anytime. Henry Hall has been very consistent and is sitting 6th and could take his Modified right up to the front. Garret Stewart has his 67 in 7th spot and continues to get closer to his 1st win. Steve Whitener and Jim Passino are tied for 8th with 1-time-winner Whitener taking the tie-breaker as of now. Passino has run into some tough luck recently but has put his 34 up front numerous times and is a threat every week-end. Ronnie Chance is 10th and has consistently run in the top 10. Chance could break through and he would certainly jump at the chance. Devin Dixon is the last winner in the division and, of course, PJ Wiggins took a win in his final start at Bubba Raceway Park.

A 44 car leads by 44 points in the Hobby Stock division after 3 points races. Tim Powers leads Kevin Durden and both have won, but Durden hasn’t won at Bubba Raceway Park since last season. Buck Woodhouse has his 55W 56 points behind Powers. Woodhouse has 2 top 5s in the past 2 races and would like to move up the order into victory lane. Howard Osteen is the 4th place driver, but is 80 points behind Powers. Osteen is close to a win and it could come at any time. In 5th, 82 points behind Powers, is 2009 champion Bubba Christian. Christian has used the strength of 2 top 10s to move up the charts. Christian will have a hand-full as Billy Carlbert, Jr. is only 1 points behind him. Carlbert has a runner-up finish but won’t be staisfied until he goes 1 better. Joe Belkey has a race win and another Joe behind him in Joe Boyd. Belkey and Boyd had a great battle last time out and they’ll both look for a win. Tommy Ausburn and Devin Walker are 9th and 10th, respectively, and have done a fantastic job so far. They’ll all be looking for wins along with 2-time winner Chad Scranton, Matt Shea, and Mike Tovet.

Yates Racing currently leads the Mini Stocks but the field is rapidly approaching. Ray Folwell is the points leader over his team-mate Brittany Yates. Folwell won the first 2 and the 4th race while Yates won the 3rd, but neither has returned to the victory circle. Both have been close every week but haven’t shown the dominance as of earlier. Ryan Babcock, the 16-year-old rookie, is in 3rd and has shown consitency and maturity to stay there from the start. His career best 3rd came the first 1st week of the season and he continues to hold steady at the front. Ray Ethridge is in 4th place and showed last year that he can take home a win. Ethridge has a lot of points to make up but knows that he can still win the championship. Chris Zimmermann is 5th and has shown much improvement the past few races. Zimmermann will have to hold off Roberto Morfin, Jr. who is already a race winner in 2011.

“TacoSon” steadily improves every week and is a threat to become the 2nd multiple-time winner. Buddy Pope is the 7th place driver and has a non-points win already, but missed a couple of races and has cost him points. Kody Kinsey, along with Babcock, is a rookie and has his 11 in the 8th position. Kinsey has used the advice from his father to get his 11 to the front. Charlie Staats and Stephen Hahlbaugh have both missed 3 races and they are 9th and 10th, respectively, in the standings. Staats has a win as well as 2008 champion Keith Briggs, Shirlene Hammond, and Tim Zackery but his was a non-points race.

The Gladiators call him “The Dominator” and for good reason. Steve Cox is the points leader and has his S&S P38 up front with 5 wins, including a streak of 4-straight. “The Dominator” has a comfortable points lead over Reid Christensen and Brandon Haseleu. Both Young Guns are looking for their 1st career wins. In 4th is Richard Todd. Todd continues to improve and is knocking on the door of career win #1. Jerry Taylor is the points driver for M&M/Shade Tree Racing and has raced the 10, 13, 31, and 57 cars to 5th in points. Taylor has a few runner-up finishes in his career and won’t give up until he gets that win. Kody Fisher has his 83 in the 6th position and has a season best finish of 4th. Fisher will have a good battle with 7th place Stephen Frankland. “The British Bulldog” has a 3rd place finish to his credit but, just as everyone but Cox, is still searching for that 1st win at Bubba Raceway Park. In 8th is the driver with the most Gladiator wins in the past 2 seasons and also the most nicknames. Casey Feaster is 8th and also has 3 consecutive non-points wins this season. The 9th place driver, Matt Kramer, has a top 5 and will continue to improve and hopes to take that 1st win home before too long. Cox’s team-mate Steve Johnson is 10th and will do his best to get his celebration in victory lane. Jonathan Green, Scott Sullivan, and Sammy Dale all have 1 win each and could take a 2nd any time soon.

The Florida Mini Sprints Association has 3 different winners in David Pleaugh, Gavin Thomas, and Jesse Teed. All will look for repeats this week-end, but there’s also a championship to look at. Chris Pacetti won the last feature for the division and also holds the points lead. Anything can happen with this highly competitive class in which 12 drivers have a top 5 in 3 features at Bubba Raceway Park.

Gates open at 4:30 with racing scheduled for 7. For more information you can check out www.bubbaracewaypark.com or call the Speedway hotline!

MOTHER NATURE GIVES VOLUSIA A BREAK / MARTIN STREAK CONTINUES

July 29, 2011 –Well Mother Nature FINALLY smiled on Volusia Speedway and the racers and fans were treated to a great night of racing on the big half mile, a great crowd was on hand for the first regular Friday night of racing action. The evening began with the Daytonas Machine Shop Sportsman and Point leader Blaise Hetznecker was out to prove that he will be the man to beat for the championship, starting 5th on the field, Hetznecker wasted no time getting to the front and took the lead from Mark Kinley on lap 2 and never looked back. Rounding out the top 5 were Chris Day, Mark Kinley, Matt McGillivray and Joe Belkey Jr.

14 Budweiser Modifieds were on hand and when it was all said and done it was Kyle Bronson back in the Destination Daytona Victory Lane, Bronson took the lead from Jared Allison on lap 5 and easily cruised home for the win over Allison, Dalton Lanich, Scott Mooers and Garrett Stewart. Point leader Jeff Mathews was involved in an accident on the first lap and was never a factor on this night.

The question in The Daytona Harley Davidson Sprint Car division is who will stop the streak of Danny Martin Jr.? Martin continued his domination of the division and remained undefeated for the year at Volusia, Otto scrape led the field of 23 cars to starter Deric Smith’s initial green flag, Scrape only held the top spot for one lap when Robbie Smith took over on lap 2, then a red came out for Shane Kreidler who flipped his #52 going down the back stretch, Kreider was OK and the action resumed with Smith keeping the top spot til Martin took over on lap 6 and cruised home for the win, Smith held on for 2nd over Matt Kurtz, AJ Maddox and Shawn Murray.

The always exciting Daytona Sportswear Street Stocks saw young James Smith hold off current point leader Phillip Brown for his first win of the season, Smith led for the first 2 laps of the event til Pat Buckley took over the top spot, Buckley looked strong but Smith stayed right on his bumper and when Buckley slipped up on lap 10, Smith took the top spot back and held off all challenges from that point forward, Brown was credited with second over Buckley, Steve Branton with Mick Kulak rounding out the top 5.

Donnie Birdwell put some excitement in the last 2 laps of the Thunder Stock main event, Birdwell took the lead from Alan Lane on lap 4, and was just cruising along until with just 2 laps to go, Birdwells car had a fire start under the hood, but Birdwell was not going to let that stop him, he continued on and came under the checker flag with flames shooting out, stopping in turn 2 for the fire crew to put the fire out, they pushed the car around to Destination Daytona Victory lane for pictures, Birdwell finished ahead of Johnny Blackwelder, point leader Tom Hughes, Brian Shrunk with Alan Lane holding on for 5th.

Chris Pacetti won the Florida Mini Sprint Main event.

Citrus County has night of thrills and spills

From John Chance & Johnny Sanders

Mother nature finally kept the rains away from Citrus County Speedway this week, but the rain was replaced with triple digit temperatures just before the start of the race program. A near capacity crowd filled the friendliest track in the south for a night of fun and excitement. The evening started off with the 75 lap V8 Enduro race, it didn’t take long to see who were going to be the cars to beat. William Hindman (82) jumped out to an early lead, only to loose his left rear wheel less than 15 laps in. Kathy Ray (63) then took over the lead and started to drive away from the field. Back in the pack, Robert Ray (9), Mike Bresnahan (7), and Duane Campbell (27) were charging to the front. The first mandatory red flag came out on lap 25 to reverse the direction of the cars. On the restart Kathy Ray would lead the pack, with her husband Robert in 2^nd, and Campbell in 3^rd. Robert would take over the top spot on lap 29 and begin to start lapping cars at a furious pace to end the second 25 lap segment. At lap 50, there were only 3 cars left on the lead lap. The final 25 lap segment would be run through the “kidney bean” infield portion of the track. Robert would jump out to a quick lead over the now 2^nd Campbell, but a quick spin by Campbell a few laps later would move Kathy Ray back to the 2^nd position. Over the last 20 laps, this husband and wife duo would wage a close battle for the win. As the cars came to take the white flag, Kathy was taking measure of her husband, looking for a way around. On the final turn of the last lap, the door would finally open. Kathy would make an inside move coming to the finish line, but come up just a few feet short at the finish. Robert would go on to take the victory over Kathy, with Campbell bringing home 3^rd after his late race spin.

Kane Dixon (15) would make it 2 in a row in the Inter-county Recycling Hornet division, dominating the field in their 15 lap feature. Jeremy Wall (1) would take the track owned rental car to a 2^nd place finish followed by Jay Kock (31) in 3^rd.

8 cars registered for the 10 lap flag pole race. This race would involve the cars making a 360 degree turn each lap, right in the middle of the backstretch, around a light pole in the infield. Tracy Webb (85) and Jay Seykora (96) put on a great bumper to bumper battle over the 1^st 8 laps of the race. Coming to take the 2 lap to go signal, Thomas Peet (62) had made his way from the back of the field to challenge for the win. Seykora would lead as the cars made their way to the turn around point, Seykora would go wide, giving Webb and Peet room to move by and battle for the lead. On the last lap, Webb would suffer the same fate as Seykora, as his car would push wide of the turn around and give Peet a shot at the victory. Both cars would race side by side coming to the checkered flag with Peet narrowly taking the victory. This was perhaps one of the most entertaining races of the night, and fans can look forward to more in the future.

14 Pro figure 8’s took the green for their 35 lap feature with point leader Joey Catarelli (6) on the pole position. Catarelli would jump out to and early lead, but outside pole sitter Mason Love (01) would get by to take the top spot on lap 6. A lap 8 traffic jam in the intersection would make the leader lift off the gas for just a second, which allowed Catarelli to retake the lead. The top 2 were then joined by Wayne Calkins (14) to make it a 3 way battle for the win. Lap 23 saw one of the nights most exciting moments, as the 185 of Tim Wilson launched his car off of an infield dirt mound 15 feet in the air, after contact with another car. Wilson’s car would land on it’s wheels and continue running, very reminiscent of a scene from the Dukes of Hazard television show. Wilson’s car would end up with a stuck throttle pedal, and would retire quickly. Catarelli would go on to take the win followed by Love in 2^nd, and Calkins in 3^rd.

27 school buses were split into 2 20 lap figure 8 races to headline the nights events. Bus race #1 saw Josh Hamilton (3) jump out to an early lead. Dwane Fults (6) would take the most prolific bus in speedway history to the lead on lap 9, getting by Hamilton. Mike Hinde (142) had by far the best looking bus in the field, but it was also just as fast as good looking. Hinde would move by Hamilton for 2^nd and bring Chad Markland (69) with him just past the half way mark in the race. Fults seemed to be headed to a commanding victory, but smoke from under his bus showed something was going wrong. Fults bus then overheated but continued to run all the way till the 2 lap to go signal, where his bus lost power and coasted to a stop in the infield. Hinde would take over the top spot coming to take the white flag and go on to take the victory over Markland in 2^nd and Hamilton in 3^rd.

Bus race #2 saw 12 buses take the green flag, with Mike Gamache (0) taking the early lead. Back in the field Richard Dinkins (2) and Joey Catarelli (98) had their sights set on the top spot. Gamache would lead all the way till the 2 lap to go signal, when Catarelli would find a way by in turn 1. As the leaders encountered the lapped bus of Chic Whitehead (11) in the intersection, contact with Whitehead, would send the new leader Catatrelli for a spin and into the turn 4 retention pond. Catarelli would manage to never stop moving, drive his bus through the pond, and rejoin the race in the 3^rd position. In all of the intersection Mayhem, Danny Taylor (10) would take advantage of the confusion, and move in to the 2^nd position. Gamache would then cruise to victory while Taylor held off the hard charging Catarelli for 2^nd.

Tim Wilson (185)would repair his racer after going airborne in the Pro Figure 8, race to take the victory in the Boat and Trailer race. Following home Wilson in 2^nd was flagpole race winner Thomas Peet (85), and Fred Henick (60) coming home in the 3^rd position.

One of the highlights of the nights program were the annual kids bicycle races. Children were divided in to 3 age groups, and given the chance to take on the speedway with pedal power instead of horsepower. Several local businesses and track sponsors donated 10 bicycles and cash prizes for the top 3 in each race. After the races, children’s names were randomly drawn from a container, and 10 children were given a brand new bicycle. Winners of the bicycle races were: Jeremy Wall (3-6), Keshana Addison (7-12), and Austin Dinkins (13-17).

This week will be headlined by the Super Late Models back in action along with a 50 lap Modified Mini Stock race. Also on the race card will be the Street Stocks, Sheldon Palmes Insurance Mini Stocks, Inter-County Recycling Hornets, and the Pro Challenge Series. Gates open a 4pm and racing starts at 6pm sharp. For complete details please visit www.citruscountyspeedway.com or call the track office at 352-726-9339. See you at the races!

Grady Christian Takes The $2000 Payday At NFS

By Jeff Bean-NFS Media

Lake City FL – Grady Christian of Umatilla Fl. ended up being the big winner in Saturday nights Street Stock feature after apparent winner Dave Dowling’s winning car failed post race tech inspection. Kyle Chappell topped the $1000 to win Sportsman feature by holding off a hard charging David Tyrrell. Jerry Fortner collected a $1000 victory in Pure Stock action with a green to checker run. 2010 Open Wheel Modified champion Kyle Owen returned to capture a thrilling finish over Paul Sizemore Jr. Bobby Denard capped off the action Saturday night with his second trip to victory lane in Box Stocks on the 2011 season.

Sportsman would be the first division to take to the speedway for the extra money on the line and Kyle Chappell would take advantage of his pole position start to grab the early lead from Jody Turner. The first trip down the back straightaway had an incident that saw perennial threat Kevin Davis nose first up against the wall with damage that would end his bid before one lap was complete. When action resumed another top contender Ed Gainey would spin to the bottom of turn one but he was able to continue with little damage to his ride. David Tyrrell would move into second and Jamie Dayhaw would settle into third as Chappell enjoyed a comfortable margin at the front of the field. With two laps to go the race leader would encounter lapped traffic and make contact with a lapped car but would still maintain his lead. Behind Chappell the traffic would collect Jamie Dayhaw and the caution would appear. On the restart Tyrrell would get the break he needed and take the lead away from Chappell. But lady luck would still favor Chappell as another caution would wave before a lap could be completed and Tyrrel’s hard work would be negated. On the next restart Chappell would be able to keep his hold on the lead and be the first car to the checkered flag. Tyrrell would hold on for second and Eddie Gainey would complete the top three.

Paul Sizemore Jr. would hustle to the early lead in the Open Wheel Modified feature by getting by pole sitter Brandon Cameron. As Sizemore would pace the field with Cameron giving chase Kyle Owen would be making his way to the front of the field and prepare to make his bid for the lead. After getting by Cameron the 2010 Mod champ Owen would close up to Sizemore and these two would wage a thrilling battle for the lead. Owen would throw everything he had at Sizemore and on the last lap the pair would make the battle for the win a physical one. Contact on the back straight would have the crowd going wild but Owen was not done yet. As the pair worked through the final turn Owen would find the room and bite he needed to win the drag race to the finish and edge Sizemore out by a few feet to claim the win.

The Street Stock main event would have the veteran pair of Dave Dowling and Randy Moody on the front row and those two would battle for the lead but a slew of cautions would make it difficult for the field to get a rhythm going early on. Once things got settled in Dowling would have to fend off Moody several times before Moody lost the handle and spun in turn four collecting Nevin Gainey. With the laps winding down Dowling would now find himself being chased by some stout competition in the form of Grady Christian, Tim Powers and Tommy Hill. Christian would apply heavy pressure to the race leader at times being able to pull up along side of Dowling but couldn’t quite find his way around the leader. Dowling would go on to be the first car to the finish line but the car did not pass the post race technical inspection. With Christian moved up to the winners spot Tim Powers and Tommy Hill continued their strong runs with top three finishes. Unable to get his interview in what he said was his biggest win Grady would like to thank the people that made his winning effort possible. Independent Drilling Contractors, his engine builder and brother Bo and the entire Christian Brothers Racing Team. Grady said he also wanted to thank the fans for coming out and supporting the race.

The Pure Stocks would be next up with $1000 dollars awaiting the race winner. Current point leader Jerry Fortner started on the pole and wasted no time moving to the lead over Dave Kinsey. Fortner would find himself being chased by a strong group of drivers but he would manage to keep his grip on the top spot. Windal Clark would emerge from the pack and spend several laps looking for a way to get around Fortner but the race leader would turn back all of Clark’s challenges. As the laps were winding down Eddie Gainey would rally from the back of the pack to put himself in contention for the win. With time running out Gainey would move around Clark for second and make his challenge on Fortner’s race long lead. In the end Gainey’s rally from the tail of the field would would come up one spot short as Fortner would collect his second win of the 2011 season.

In the night cap Bobby Denard would race past Daryl Larson for a lead he wouldn’t relinquish. Larson would settle in to the second spot and would soon have his hands full with Kevin Underwood trying to take the second spot away. Once clear of Larson the goal for Underwood was to close the gap on Denard and he would soon pull himself into contention. As the pair battled for the lead with the laps running out Underwood launch his attack only to have his efforts derailed by a flat tire with one lap left. Denard would then hold off John Windham and Larson for his second win of 2011.

Feature events contested Friday night would have Shane Taylor taking yet another feature event win in the Limited Modifieds over Adam Higginbotham and Kyle Arvin. Friday nights Box Stock feature went to John Windham.

Next week August 8th the Late Models return along with Pure Stocks, Street Stocks, Limited Modifieds, Sportsman and Box Stocks. For more info visit www.northfloridaspeedway.com or call 386-754-8800
