Travis Hanson Goes Wire-To-Wire In Super Late Model Win
By Bill Green, FromBehindTheMIC
Punta Gorda, FL – Fans continued to file thru the main grandstand gate as heat races finished and features stated. The excitement filled the air as one of the biggest crowds in the short history of the new owners continued to arrive, car after car, after car. Having over 300 total laps scheduled on the night between heats and features, with the Super Late Models going 100-Laps, starting 21 cars brought folks from as far away as Porth Call, Wales, England.
First up came the Pro-4’s with 15 cars taking the green and Ft. Myers driver Brian Collver continued his great run in 2010, with another win. Second went to points contender Dylan Bigley out of Naples, with fellow Naples driver Paul Richards Sr. coming home third. Fourth would go to Cody Allen of Lehigh Acres and John Balzarano from Naples went into a spin cycle early, to come back to fifth.
Bandoleros had only 4 cars for their 12-lap feature, with Mark Hooven of Orlando coming home with the win. But, second pace finisher Taylor McFadden of Port Charlotte won the bigger prize on the night, as his family presented him with his very own Chevy two door short bed pick-up for his Birthday that was last weekend. Surprising him as he was interviewed on the front stretch for his 2nd place finish. Third went to a another Port Charlotte driver, John Holmes and even as he rolled into the infield with problems, Shaw Hooven was credited with 4th.
Super Stocks battle for every inch with he 09 of Danny Daniels surviving a hard fought feature event for the win. Second went to Shane Leonard, followed closely by Fred Kight third and Bobby Fischer fourth. Fifth went to Donna Bigger.
Outlaw Modifieds are getting close to the end of their season and it showed as two drivers were black flag and DQ‘d for rough driving and retaliation on the track. The winner would be Doug Hopper, holding off long time rival, Tom Meyers, who settled for second. Third went to Arcadia driver Ric Mills, with Craig Sherar fourth and John Gula hanging on for fifth.
Legends saw some great action with Mark Hooven of Orlando getting the clean sweep with the Bandolero win earlier and a Legends victory here. Hooven was followed by Brady Marshall in second, Mitch Verhaagh third, Mike Verhaagh fourth and Mike Fazio finished fifth, but was taken off on the hook after contact after the checkered.
Super Late Models finish, a wild one with Travis Hanson using the great pole position pill draw to go wire-to-wire or the victory. Second went to Steve Dorr of Lakeland, with local star, Dylan Bigley Jr. taking third. Fourth went to young Brian Blum after an early incident that sent him to the rear of the field. Rounding out the top-5 would be Jeff Scofield driving the #6 of David Hart from Bartow, after Scofield’s #21 developed problems after qualifying.
Road Warriors saw 11 cars take the green with Logan Leonard of Cape Coral taking the win. Second would go to a hard charging Rick Reed coming all the way across from Arcadia. Third went to Chris Loney, followed closely by Joey Morales fourth and Jarrett Cornell of N. Ft. Myers finished fifth.
Fab-4 driver Paul Richards Jr out of Naples lap everyone but the top-5 in the time shortened 20-lap feature. Richards went wire-to-wire for the win, leaving Scott Ison to take second a half lap back. Third went to young Kerrington McFadden, with Aaron Hardgrove mustering a fourth place finish for his Birthday. Fifth was a very young Logan Allen, the last car on the lead lap.
Next week it’s Pro Trucks, Rookie Trucks and TQ Midgets, with Sportsman, Dwarf Cars, Road Warriors and the always entertaining Cowboy Cadillac’s in action. Punta Gorda Speedway remains the Grandstand low-price leader in Florida with $10 Adult tickets, with Seniors, Vets & Military members at $8 every week, Children ages 11-17 only $5 and 10 years of age and under FREE! Nobody’s Lower for a Family of 5 or more, anywhere in southern Florida. Call 941-575-RACE for info or visit PuntaGordaSpeedway.com.

UDLMCS Fall Nationals Coming to Volusia Speedway Park
by BJ Cavin- VSP Media
BARBERVILLE, FL- After wrapping up the 2010 divisional points chases on October 2nd, Volusia Speedway Park is taking a break on the weekend on October 9th before post season action featuring The United Dirt Late Model Challenge Series arrives on Saturday, October 16th. The October 16th event will be the first of two exciting post season events at the south’s fastest half mile featuring the region’s top dirt late model racing series, and will also offer an opportunity for some of VSP’s divisional stars to shine once more in 2010.The United Dirt Late Model Challenge Series Fall Nationals is a two night event that tests the top dirt late model racers in the region at two of the most challenging dirt tracks in Florida. The UDLMCS will open the event at Florida’s oldest race track, Ocala Speedway, on Friday, October 15th. Ocala features a narrow, oddly shaped 3/8ths mile circuit that is known as the toughest 3/8ths mile in the southeast, plus a very tricky turn four that can gobble up competitors one after the other. The action then moves to the opposite end of the Ocala National Forest on Saturday, October 16th, as the Ocala survivors will take on Volusia Speedway Park’s wide and fast half mile, which is the polar opposite of what they will have dealt with at Ocala. The racing at Volusia will be a wide open affair, with three and even four wide battles a distinct possibility, if not likely.
Mark Whitener holds the UDLMCS points lead going into the Fall Nationals after winning at Hendry County Speedway in late September. Whitener is also the current 2010 Late Model points leader at Ocala Speedway, but his last outing at Volusia Speedway Park was spoiled by a last lap sneak attack from John Kellum, who managed to erase Whitener’s huge lead and steal the win away from “The Magic Man”. And Joe Kump is fresh off of his well deserved 2010 Daytona Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram Late Model Championship at Volusia Speedway Park and will wear it proudly as he competes with the UDLMCS on his home turf.
In addition to the excitement of the top dirt late model racers burning up the south’s fastest half mile, the October 16th action will include a curtain call for Volusia Speedway Park’s Taylor Racing Products Sportsman Division, the Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants Thunder Stocks, and the 4 Cylinder Challengers. These three post season feature races will allow VSP’s racers to grab one last shot of track time before the long winter layoff, plus have a lot of fun as well. And fans can participate in World Food Day Canned Food Drive by bringing a canned goods item for a discount on admission.
This will not be the final event for the United Dirt Late Model Challenge Series at VSP this year as they will return on November 6th for their season ending finals competition. For more information on any event remaining in 2010, or to get a sneak preview of action planned for 2011, please visit www.VolusiaSpeedwayPark.net.
Team Car Warz Heads Back to Ocala Speedway This Friday
TEAM CAR WARZ MEDIA
Old Town, FL (October 6, 2010) Team Car Warz returns to Ocala Speedway this Friday with plenty of action left from the rained out show two weeks ago. The stands were full, the pits were full and Mother Nature pulled a fast one and made the speedway a gooey, muddy mess unraceable for anything.
This Friday Car Warz returns with the motorhome demo derby, front wheel drive demo derby, chain race, flagpole race, boat/trailer race, reverse race and the first figure 8 race on dirt in many years. The Gladiators will also run a race since the enduro was won two weeks ago by Johnny Alexander. (more…)

Car Warz Returns to Ocala Speedway Friday Night
by Jimmy Rouse- Ocala Speedway Media
Ocala Speedway takes a break from divisional racing to make up Car Warz, the event that was washed-out on September 24th. What they did run that night was a success, as RV Dave successfully t-boned the van, and the 4-cylinder enduro race on ‘mud’ was exciting. Johnny Alexander got the better of Curtis Clark and beat him for the enduro trophy. Car Warz will run everything else they were going too, including: the MotorHome demolition derby, front wheel drive demolition derby, chain race, flagpole race, boat and trailer race, dirt figure 8 race, and a reverse race. Plus, to make up for the enduro, the Gladiators will run an exciting event as well. Ocala Speedway deems Car Warz as a special event, therefore the prices are set accordingly. You can check the prices by calling Ocala Speedway or by checking out www.ocalaspeedway.com.
