“ROCKETMAN” JEFFERSON BLASTS MODIFIED RIVALS AT AUBURNDALE SPEEDWAY

by Dave Westerman

There was a touch of Fall in the air Saturday evening at Auburndale Speedway but it was Wayne “Rocketman” Jefferson who was on fire as he took the victory in the Open Wheel Modified feature in his first start of the year on the quarter-mile.

Bobby Blake scored the win in heat race number one for the Modifieds while James Wright III drove away with heat two. Jefferson, who had to start in the rear of his heat, made a daring three-wide pass between Josh Todd and Jimmy Wilkins to finish second behind Wright and earn the third starting position for the 40-lap feature.

Final Points Night Crowns Champions at Volusia

by BJ Cavin- VSP Media

BARBERVILLE, FL- The racers in all six divisions at Volusia Speedway Park came together on Saturday night in order to close the door on the 2010 racing season, and to recognize those who had overcome the obstacles and become divisional champions. And while most of the points races had been all but decided coming into the night, it allowed those at the top of the heap to turn it loose and go for wins, rather than play the conservative game in order to secure the big trophy at the season ending banquet.

Joe Kump has held onto the top spot in the Daytona Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram Late Model points standings for a while now, but coming into Saturday’s feature event the Lake Helen racer’s math told him that he needed to finish 12th or better in order to secure a points championship. Meanwhile Donnie Chappelle had something else to prove coming into the night, as his race team had overcome a season’s worth of shortcomings to emerge as the team to beat down the final stretch. Both were up to the challenge, as Kump concreted himself into VSP championship history with a fourth place finish, and Chappelle dominated the race to notch another win, plus show that he would be a force to be reckoned with in 2011. Ivedent Lloyd followed Chappelle for the second spot while Jason Davis wrapped up the third spot. John Kellum had a strong run and finished in the fifth spot behind Kump. (more…)

Mavrick Varnadore Breaks Through for East Bay Triumph

By: Larry Jewett

10/2/2010

The Racecar Engineering Late Model feature defied the “same old” as a new winner took a place in Victory Lane and it was an exciting journey to get there at East Bay Raceway Park.

16-year-old Mavrick Varnadore finally added his name to the winner’s role with a steady drive that brought the desired results. Mavrick took the lead from Phillip Cobb with five laps remaining after Cobb had picked up the top spot when Travis Varnadore slipped and over the cushion a lap previous. Mavrick’s charge from the ninth starting spot saw steady progress and seized opportunity. The win propelled him into the heart of the point battle with brother Travis and Bryan Bernhardt. The feature top five saw Doug Watson back up his earlier heat win with a second place ion the main. Dennis Williams, Bernhardt and Cobb rounded out the top five. Paul Gibbs also claimed a preliminary. (more…)

The Battles Heat Up

by Jimmy Rouse- Ocala Speedway Media

A crazy night at Ocala Speedway had plenty of action which kept the fans on their feet the entire night. The Late Models returned while the Mini Stocks, Amsoil V-8 Thunderstocks, and Gladiators also raced, trying to gain the advantage in the points. Every fan that showed up got exactly what they came for.

The night started off with the Amsoil V-8 Thunderstocks and it got pretty rough towards the end. Lap 3 got exciting with 4 separate incidents, starting with Austin Stamper climbing the “Danny Miller” tire. Jeff Stalnaker, Jr. stopped on the back straight while Scott Mooers met the front stretch wall, ending his night. However, the biggest incident was Mike Stalnaker and Jason Gamble rubbing and bumping until Gamble ran out of room and tagged the outside wall. Jonathan Gillette decided to excite the fans a couple laps later and his hood came up on the windshield. On lap 15, Timmy Odom climbed the front stretch wall and Chris Shea, the man who had dominated the night, cut a tire. A couple laps later, a huge factor in the race, Mike Stalnaker, heard his engine say ‘goodnight.’ After the fans saw the wrecker get stuck in the infield, the race restarted and Chris Fontaine lost a wheel while running at the front. Oh Canada!!! “The Canuck” Tim Mathieu earned his first career win while Brian Shea got his first 2nd place finish, and Vaughn Woodall got his first top 5 with a 3rd place finish. Chris Shea came back through to 4th and Gordon Cade rounded out the top 5. (more…)
