1,000 FANS IN THE STANDS AND A LAPTOP COMPUTER COULD BE YOURS!

by Dave Westerman

After a week off to give nearly 100 kart racers the opportunity to put on a three day show, stock car racing returns to Auburndale Speedway Saturday night and there will be some kart racing too as the Southeast Champ Kart Series makes their fourth appearance of the year as part of a nine division racing program.

The Open Wheel Modifieds are back this week along with the Modified Mini Stocks, Street Stocks, Legend Cars, Mini Stocks, V-8 Bombers, Scramblers and Bandoleros.

James Wright III has opened up a big 98 point advantage following his win in the Open Wheel Modifieds two weeks ago. Bobby Blake holds second in points but is just one marker ahead of third place Wayne Morris. Wright, the 2009 Auburndale Street Stock champion, is looking to add an OWM title to his Auburndale resume.

The Modified Mini Stock point championship for 2010 is a three man race with Scotty Sharpe currently up by 12 points on Jason Rendell. Rendell has a ten point edge on third place Mike Sweet. Meanwhile, the Mini Stock battle is a bit closer as Chris Spring leads Fred Harrison, Jr. by just 22 headed into this weeks action.

In the Street Stocks, rookie Matt McCrary still hasn’t won a feature but his consistency has him 40 points on top of second place Jeff Waterman. Dave Colpritt remains third, 26 markers in back of Waterman.

It’s down to a battle of two youngsters for the Legend Car point crown this year. Gerald White, Jr. is now 34 points ahead of Jake Perkins with both coming off disappointing results two weeks ago. Perkins won the Florida Legends Tour event at Citrus County Speedway last week.

Josh Borem continues to sit atop the V-8 Bomber standings with a 54 point edge on Buddy Phillips, Jr. Preston Davis is third in points, but by only eight over James Wright, Jr. who picked up the win two weeks ago.

The Scrambler class continues to see Brian Tyre out front but Kimberly Gullett is only ten points behind him. Richard Brown remains third in Scrambler points, 50 markers in front of fourth place Chad Cutting.

With his win two weeks ago, Andy Metz has cut Teddy Lively’s Bandolero Outlaw point lead to 38 as the pair will ultimately vie for the season title right down to the final race.

Auburndale Speedway is looking for a crowd of 1,000 or more fans and is putting out the challenge to our “regulars” to bring some friends to the races. Starting this Saturday, the first week the grandstand fan count is

1,000 or more the track will give away a new Auburndale Speedway laptop computer recently purchased from Palm Tree Computers. Adult/senior rain checks will be used, so all fans will be eligible for the drawing on that night, no extra purchase is necessary.

Pit gates open Saturday afternoon at 2PM, grandstands open at 5PM and racing begins at 7PM. Adult admission is just $12, seniors are $10, kids 5-12 are $5 and all children under four years of age are admitted free. Family packs (2 adults – 2 kids aged 5-12) are $25. All kids age 10 and under will also get an extra ticket good for “Lindsey’s Little Racers” prize drawing. Prize packs this week are donated by Precision Air and Big Ron’s Racing while free ice creams are being donated by drivers James Wright III and Fred Harrison, Jr.

Starting September 12 Punta Gorda Speedway will be closed for additional repairs and improvements. We will reopen Oct 1st for practice night for all classes. We will be preparing for the fall season and the return of our friends and racing families from up north. We would like to thank the racers and fans for your overwhelming support since the opening of the new Punta Gorda Speedway . We will continue to improve the facility and make Punta Gorda Speedway the south’s premier short track. Thanks Again.

Team Car Warz Media

Lanier National Speedway, GA (August 21, 2010)  After two weeks up north in Pennsylvania, Team Car Warz headed back towards Florida and home but not without stopping at Lanier National Speedway in Georgia for a show.

Fans were greeted with a perfect night and a fantastic show.  A special thanks goes out to TEAMMXEAST.COM and riders Travis Willis and Clint Esposito, who put on an awesome show for the fans and they loved it.     They were definitely a hit with everyone.

Team Car Warz will now take a few days off before heading towards New York and the track they consider “home”, Holland Speedway.  Team Car Warz will conclude the 2010 season at Ocala Speedway also in September.
