TYLER SMITH DOUBLES IN LEGENDS – SOZIO TOPS TRUCKS AT AUBURNDALE SPEEDWAY

by Dave Westerman

 After a week off to celebrate the 4th of July, Auburndale Speedway returned to action Saturday night with another huge crowd of fans, 92 cars in the pits and several first-time winners in their respective classes for 2010.

The Legend Cars took center stage on the evening running a pair of 25 lap feature events. The first feature had barely gotten under way when a three car tangle sent Danielle Stratton’s car flying through the air after she ran over the back of Roger Englund’s machine. Both Stratton and Mike Gleason had to take their cars pit side for repairs although both were able to return for the second feature. Englund was able to continue after removing a rear fender.

Pole sitter Jake Perkins led the first five laps but Devin McLeod got by him to lead the next pair of laps. Young Tyler Smith had his car dailed in to perfection though and snatched the lead from McLeod on lap nine. From that point the race ran to the checker without another yellow flag as Smith copped his first win of the year. McLeod held on for second with Gerald White, Jr.

grabbing third late in the going ahead of Mason Ketterman and Perkins who dropped to fifth by the time the checker flew. Darin Coker, making his first start of the year here, started 18th and worked his way up to sixth at the finish with Dave Gleason, Lynn Wiles, Matt Larmore and Zach Napoleon rounding out the top ten.

The top six from race one drew pills for the top six starting positions in feature #2 and Smith drew the pole spot. That pretty much was all she wrote as Smith dominated the second 25 lapper which ran green to checker without a caution. Gerald White, Jr. and McLeod took second and third while Perkins took fourth and Ketterman fifth. Coker again was sixth trailed by Dave Gleason, Larmore, Napoleon and Seth Adams.

The Auburndale Trucks were back in action and there was plenty to be had in their 25 lap run.

Zach Harris, coming off a win the night before at Orlando SpeedWorld, won the heat and had the pole for the feature but could not hold off a hard-charging Tim Sozio who sped to the front on lap six. Sozio got just a bit loose though allowing Nick Hernandez and Mad Mike Smith to move into the front two spots. The lead pair then began a crowd-pleasing battle that culminated in them tangling in turn one at the start of lap 17.

Both Hernandez and Smith were sent to the back of the pack for the restart and Sozio took advantage to score his first win of the year despite the late race efforts of Tommy King who, although he had to settle for second, took over the point lead in the division. Brent Tyler raced to a third place finish followed by Hernandez and Harris. A great field of Sportsman cars saw Richard Elkins, Jr. and Brandon Duchscherer split heat race wins. Elkins grabbed the early lead only to see a tire fly off Eddie Hartin’s new car just as the first lap was being completed to bring out the yellow. Elkins continued to lead as Bart Weatherford moved to second and began to put on the pressure. The field was slowed a second time as Josh Todd spun his new ride on lap six.

Elkins and Weatherford continued their spirited duel with things coming to a head on lap 14 as they tangled in turn four. Duchscherer was also involved trying to get by as the right side sheet metal was ripped from his car. Dave Dunkin also couldn’t avoid the melee and had to pit with a deflated left front tire. With Elkins and Weatherford sent to the rear for the restart, Duscscherer kept his now “air conditioned” racer on the track and inherited the lead. Dunkin pitted and returned to the track but also had to restart from the back. Despite the damage to his car, Duchscherer easily led the remaining laps to score his first Sportsman win of the year. Justin Reynolds of Cocoa made his first-ever start at Auburndale a good one with a second place finish ahead of Mark Medeiros, Chris Lewellen and Todd. Lance Daubach made his first start in a brand new car and took sixth while Elkins, Duncan, Weatherford and Brett Jenkins completed the top ten.

Kyle Peters had been knocking on the door all season long and this week simply knocked the door down as he totally dominated the usually competitive field of Street Stocks.

Peters handily won the heat race then ran off and hid in a feature race which was slowed just once on lap five for a wild front stretch crash that eliminated the cars of Mike Rowland and Chris Spring. Peters finished a full straightaway in front of second place Kyle Hall who had Dave Colpritt on his bumper the entire distance. Cody McDuffie took fourth and Bobby Mobley was fifth. The remainder of the top ten were Matt McCrary, Jeff Waterman, Joe Dowdy, newcomer Jerrell Cook and Spring.

The Southeast Champ Karts sponsored by Jim Hite Pest Control made their third appearance of the year and put on an incredible show. There were four different official lap leaders in the 25 lap feature with Mitch Stevens and Ed Brillhante taking the checker in a virtual dead heat before Stevens was deemed the winner by a mere inch. Unlike previous races which would see lots three, four and five kart single-file “drafts,” there was plenty of side-by-side, three-wide, even four-wide racing the entire distance.

Trailing Stevens and Brillhante to the stripe were P.J. Letourneau, Tim Simmons and Alan McKinney with Wesley Gonzales, Romay Venta, Phil Harp, Kyle Worden and Ryan Walters rounding out the top ten. Brillhante officially led

14 laps, Stevens led laps three through six before taking the win at the line, Gonzales led twice for four laps and Simmons was credited with leading one lap. Heat wins were taken by Rusty Chancey and Billy Smith yet neither cracked the top ten in the action-packed feature.

The V-8 Bomber feature had plenty of wild action from start to finish but the end of the race was incredible as Preston Davis took to the outside lane on the final lap and passed Bobby Mobley for the win after Mobley had led the from the green flag. It was Davis’ second win in a row with Mobley having to settle for second just barely in front of third place Larry Chumney, Sr. Travis Roland became about the 50th different driver to wheel the #42 car this year and he drove to a fourth place finish just ahead of Gene Harrison. Grizzled veteran Edward Howell took the checker in sixth trailed by JamesWright II, newcomer Mark Roadarmel, Buddy Phillips, Jr. and Jeff Lacy. Mobley won the heat.

Doug Hopper of New Port Richey took the measure of the visiting Outlaw Modifieds. Hopper won the heat then led all the way to claim his second win of the year here. Billy Campbell took the runner-up spot followed by Mike Endee, Tom Meyer, Ric Mills and Mel-Mel Braden, Chris Spring added to his point lead in the Mini Stock class by scoring yet another feature victory. Young Gary Brown was impressive as he claimed the second spot ahead of heat winner Fred Harrison, Jr., Jason Swilley and Dwight Ryals.

The biggest Bandolero field of the year saw Teddy Lively take his third straight win over Mark Bibeau and Daniel Conlin, Jr. Cameron White took the checker in fourth but claimed the 8-11 year old Bandit class trophy. Andy Metz was fifth.

This Saturday night the Late Models return for 100 laps and $3,000 to win. Also on the card are the Mini Cups, Modified Mini Stocks, Kids Club, V-8 Bombers, Scramblers, and Mini Stocks. Racing starts at 7PM. Pits open at 2 PM. Open practice will be held both Thursday and Friday evenings this week. For more information call 863-551-1131 or log on to www.auburndaleracing.com.

Winged Sprints and Mod Mania at VSP This Saturday

by VSP Media

BARBERVILLE, FL- A very busy Saturday night of racing is in store for Volusia Speedway Park this week as full throttle winged sprint car action will be on tap with the Top Gun Sprint Car Series, and the Florida Mini Sprint Association.  In addition to the excitement of the sprint cars, fans will also get to see full blown Modified Mania from the Budweiser Modifieds, plus more fender banging thrills from the Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants Thunder Stocks.

The Top Gun Sprint Car Series features the top 360 sprinters in the region battling for the 2010 points championship in a two night event that will begin on Friday at Ocala Speedway and continue on Saturday at Volusia Speedway Park.  The double race weekend puts an added need to perform on racers like Ryan Partin, who currently tops the Top Gun points standings, as they have to survive Ocala’s tricky 3/8ths mile layout and travel just over 50 miles east to VSP in order to do it all again the following day on the big half mile speedway.  Partin’s lead is a mere two points over Tim George, so look for the two night stand this weekend to either lead to changes at the top of the heap, or to reaffirm Partin’s superiority.

The Florida Mini Sprint Association touts itself as “Florida’s best kept secret” and yet by providing exciting high speed action at every track that they visit they certainly are not shy about making their secret stay a secret.  Brett O’Donnell is at the top of the 2010 points heap and looking to stay there, but Eddie Moss Jr, and his daughter Rhea Lynn Moss, are both in hot pursuit.  The previous visits to Volusia Speedway Park this season have resulted in flips, thrills, and close finishes, so look for more of the same this Saturday night.

Back on June 5th the scheduled Budweiser Modified Mania ended up rained out by a sudden deluge, so this Saturday night will make up the $1200 to win event and give race fans something extra to cheer about.  Jamie Carter still hangs onto the points lead despite Jeff Mathews closing the gap a little after last Saturday’s win, and no doubt that with the extra large check in the balance along with a possible championship, things will be extra exciting when the green flag waves this time around.

And the Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants Thunder Stocks will be back in action this week after a weekend that saw a disqualification of the #27 car of Chad Scranton, then saw that DQ rescinded on Monday after further review of the findings, giving Scranton his decisive win back.  Scott Mooers remains one of the top racers in his class in the nation, currently ranked in second place in the UMP DIRTcar national rankings while he holds a comfortable lead in the 2010 points standings at VSP.  But Luke Sadler and Chad Scranton, are not impressed and are consistently outrunning Mooers at this point in the season, leading Mooers to comment in an online post that he seriously needs to step his game up.

Volusia Speedway Park will open the pit gate at 4PM this Saturday, with fans admitted to the grandstand area at 5:30PM.  Racing gets underway at 7:30PM, and for info on prices, or to see the entire 2010 racing schedule, visit www.VolusiaSpeedwayPark.net.

Winged Madness Invades Ocala Speedway this Friday

 by BJ Cavin- Ocala Speedway Media

OCALA,FL-  This Friday, July 16th, will bring alcohol fueled, high horsepower, full winged action, to the historic Ocala Speedway, as the Top Gun Sprint Car Series returns to Florida’s toughest 3/8ths mile.  And if that is not enough winged madness for the fans, the Florida Mini Sprint Association will be on hand with a swarm of screaming winged minis flying around Ocala’s tricky layout.  Some of Ocala’s own racers will be hitting the clay as well, as the Tee Pee Tire Hobby Stocks return to action, and the Gladiator Division points battle heats up even more.

The Top Gun Sprint Car Series has brought the best of the region’s 360 sprinters to Ocala Speedway earlier in 2010 as  16 year old Amanda Ferguson spanked the field and grabbed a convincing first win on dirt at the region’s toughest racetrack.  But according to Amanda’s website, she has opted to climb into a super late model this weekend and will not defend her win at Florida’s oldest speedway, thus opening the door for someone else to overcome the competition and Ocala’s odd layout.  But while Ferguson will not be back, Rich Pratt will be racing at Ocala this time after missing the earlier event this season.  Meanwhile Ryan Partin has taken control of the Top Gun Sprints points battle and leads Tim George by a mere two point margin, and with the survivors from Ocala venturing eastward through the forest and racing on Saturday night as well, this could be a make or break weekend for several competitors.

The Florida Mini Sprints have had an even longer absence from Ocala, last challenging the tough 3/8ths mile during Ocala Speedway’s Winternational schedule at the end of January.  Since then the FMSA has raced everywhere but Ocala, and is jumping at the chance to return to one of their favorite and most challenging circuits.  Brett O’Donnell holds the current points lead and has established himself as the man to beat as Eddie Moss Jr. gives chase.  But Ocala fans will be pleasantly surprised to find that Rhea Lynn Moss has matured since those first awkward races in January, and is now third in the 2010 points battle and a force to contend with.

The Tee Pee Tire Hobby Stock points race is still dominated by two racers as points leader Dean Jarvis, and second place contender Heath Walker, bring their battle back to Ocala Speedway for the first time since June 25th.  But five racers are within striking distance of the top two, with Gainesville’s William Edwards lurking only 37 points behind Walker while Walker trails Jarvis by 12.  Meanwhile, “The Outlaw” Jody Wells reigned supreme at Ocala the last time out, and will have his 11 machine ready to defend his win this Friday night.

And a lot of questions will be answered on Friday night as Ocala’s closely contested Gladiator Division hits the clay, such as can Steven Johnson continue to hang on to first place, or can Matt Shea win two in a row?  How about, can Casey Feaster show up on time, not be relegated to the rear to start the feature, and therefore chase down Steven Johnson?  Johnson’s points lead jumped to 14 over Feaster after last Friday’s frantic night that saw Feaster doing a lot of chasing, catching, but failing to pass the front two cars.  And meanwhile Lasoski Racing’s Devin Walker remains just 5 points behind Feaster in third place, so Feaster might want to do some “mirror driving” even though his car has none.

Ocala Speedway will open the grandstand gates for the winged sprint Special Event at 5PM this Friday, with racing action beginning with heats at 8PM.   For information on Special Event prices, or to see more info on upcoming events, be sure to visit www.OcalaSpeedway.com.

The Challenger Challenge Highlights Action at VSP

by VSP Media

BARBERVILLE, FL- Volusia Speedway Park returned to action on Saturday night after some time off over the 4th of July holiday weekend, and the extra week of preparation, or healing as it may be for some, paid off for the racers and fans.  The night’s events were highlighted by the 4 Cylinder Challenger Challenge, plus fans were thrills by exciting racing from the Daytona Dodge Chrysler Jeep Late Models, the Budweiser Modifieds, the Daytona Sportswear Street Stocks, and the Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants Thunder Stocks.  and as an added bonus, fans were treated to racing from the Daytona Antique Auto Racing Association (DAARA) plus an autograph session with the vintage cars and their drivers at intermission.

The Challenger Challenge gives the 4 Cylinder racers a moment in the spotlight, plus offers them extra incentive as the race pays $500 to win.  Throw in another $100 from Astor Recycling and the Challengers were more than ready to go at the track and each other, getting off to a rather rocky start but settling down for 20 laps of green flag racing.

Once everyone decided to race instead of wreck, Tony Laporta wasted no time in getting to the point and leading the field.  Steve Cox gave chase and managed to keep close to Laporta, but eventually succumbed to James Sullivan who grabbed the second spot on lap 12.  Casey Feaster had come into the night as the current points leader, and was busy making his way from a ninth place starting position into the top five, while Davey Wolf had a good run going, challenging for as high as third place at times.

But no one had anything that could threaten Tony Laporta as he raced to the checkers and the winner’s check.  James Sullivan followed in the second spot, while Steven cox placed third.  And after a back and forth battle over several laps, Casey Feaster wrestled fourth place from Davey Wolf, who finished fifth.

Donnie Chappell has been clawing his way up the points ladder with the Daytona Dodge Chrysler Jeep Late Models at VSP, and Saturday’s feature race certainly did not hurt that effort.  But as good as Chappell was, Matt Hartley was better as he continues to rehab after knee surgery, and what better way to heal than to grab another solid win over a stout field of late model racers?  Hartley’s win came in a race that went green from start to finish, with Donnie Chappell claiming second place over Lawton Minchew.  Current points leader Joe Kump was in the top five as he placed fourth, and Darrell Padgett raced his way into the fifth spot.

The Budweiser Modifieds saw Jeff Mathews come through the pit gate with something to prove, but first he had to overcome James Smith who had the pole and was not in any mood to relinquish the lead.  Mathews started in the 6th spot, but quickly rocketed past everyone to attack Smith by lap five, then grabbed the lead for himself on lap 6 and never looked back.  The final 13 laps ran caution free as Jeff Mathews extended his lead for the win, with James Smith following for a distant second place run.  Kent Corbin held on to place third, and Jamie Carter battled his way up to fourth place.  And Kyle Bronson climbed into the 66 car on Saturday night, then drove it to a fifth place finish.

There was quite a bit of back and forth going on at the front of the Daytona Sportswear Street Stock field as Tim Hughes, Mike Tovet, and Philip Brown, all tussled over the lead from time to time.  But after a few cautions for this and that, plus some hard racing, Hughes developed a loose condition and began slipping backwards, leaving Brown and Tovet to fight over the top position.  Mike Tovet then snatched the lead for good on lap 6 and went on to score a win, while Philip Brown settled for the second spot.  Billy Medders placed third, while James Smith and Bubba Christian rounded out the top five finishers.

Scott Mooers may have a firm grip on the Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants Thunder Stock points lead, but Chad Scranton and Luke Sadler have given him plenty of stress over the past few races.  And after being caught up in someone else’s calamity and leaving his last Thunder Stock outing at Volusia Speedway Park on a hook, Mooers was in no mood to take prisoners on Saturday night.  So when Scranton blew past him with ease and Sadler got past him later in the race, Mooers found himself the third car to cross the finish line as the checkers waved.

Chad Scranton may have been able to enjoy a celebration in Victory Lane, but was summoned to tech immediately after leaving the track, and further inspection by officials resulted in his disqualification.  That made Luke Sadler the race winner and moved Scott Mooers up to second place, while David Whitt earned a third place finish.  John Thorpe was fourth, while D.J. Nobles moved up to the fifth place spot.

 
Some fans may have suspected that the Daytona Antique Auto Racing Association drivers do not actually race their vintage machines when they come to Volusia Speedway Park, but do not try to tell that to Ronnie Rohn of Jacksonville, who backed his 1955 Chevy stock car into the turn 3 inside wall causing significant damage to the rear of that original bodied machine.  T. J. Roberts of Adel, Georgia, also had misfortune in turn 3, as his 1935 modified Chevy had to leave the track on a hook.  Some may be faster than others, but the DAARA cars are racing when they get the green flag. Four divisions of DAARA cars competed on Saturday night, with Steve Parrish winning with the Flathead Stocks, Dave Cash beating the rest of the Caged Sprint Cars, Bill Wendt topping the Flathead Midgets, and Lonnie Roberts dominating the Modified Stock Cars.

Volusia Speedway Park is back in action next Saturday, July 17th, as the Top Gun 360 Sprint Car Series and the Florida Mini Sprint Association highlight the night’s racing.  In addition top the winged sprint action, fans will see Volusia’s own Budweiser Modifieds and Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants Thunder Stocks return for another week of high speed thrills.  For more information, please be sure to visit www.VolusiaSpeedwayPark.net.

Tim Gay wins Limited Late Model Feature at East Bay

By:  Jason Loughren, 07/10/2010  Four exciting classes of cars hit the track for another great night of racing at the Clay by the Bay.  The rains of last weekend were long gone and nothin g but blue sky was over the track as the events started on another action packed night at the best dirt track in the South

The Outlaw 4’s saw double duty which included a makeup feature event from the rain out a few weeks ago.  Amanda Rogers started on the pole and lead every lap on the way to her first victory of the season.  Billy Howard finished 2nd.  Points leader Mathew Haynes finished 3rd.  Stephen Hohlbaugh and Jesse Brown rounded out the top-5.

In the regularly scheduled feature event for the Outlaw 4’s Billy Howard won the feature holding off the late challenge of Keith Heard to take the win.  Heard finished 2nd.  Chris Zimmerman finished 3rd.  Mathew Haynes finished 4th and Cecil Martin rounded out the top-5.

 In the Precision Kia of Wesley Chapel Street Stocks Donnie Reed was involved in a first lap caution which sent him to the back of the field.  Reed was able to withstand the attrition that saw only 6 cars finish the main event to take the win.  The feature win was his 6th of the season. Buck Woodhouse finished 2nd.  Doug Johnson appeared to have a top 3 finish but was DQ’d in post race inspection.  Curtis Book started 18th and finished 3rd.  Roy Woodhouse finished 4th and Shane Grissom was 5th.  Reed and Mike Wilson won the heats.

The Limited Late Models were in action as Forrest Gough dominated the early laps of the race.  Gough was leading in the late laps when he had trouble in turn 2.  Tim Gay was along side of JR Prather, Jr. and took the lead as the cars crossed the line with one lap to go.  Gay held off the challenge of Prather, Jr and Alex Boerner to take the win which was his third of the year.  Forrest Gough finished 2nd.  Boerner finished 3rd.  Bradley battled for a 4th place finish.  Shane Koperda finished 5th which was his first top-5 of the season.  Bradley was victorious in the heat race.

The Motorstats.com 4 cylinder bombers were up next to wrap up the evening as Michael Eaton took the win which was his first ever win at East Bay Raceway Park.  George Handy finished 2nd.  Johnnie Alexander finished 3rd.  Kever Raulerson and Robert Purcell rounded out the top-5. Eaton, Gene Gross, and Kelli Hill went to victory in the heat races.

ASA sanctioned racing returns to East Bay Raceway Park on Saturday, July 24th, 2010 with Gagel’s Open Wheel Modified, Precision Kia of Wesley Chapel Street Stocks, Outlaw 4’s, Motorstats.com 4 Cylinder Bombers, and the Dirt Daubers.  For more information go to www.eastbayracewaypark.com or call the track office.

Five Divisions Crack Up the Heat at Ocala

by BJ Cavin- Ocala Speedway Media

OCALA, FL- A steaming hot night greeted racers and fans at the historic Ocala Speedway on Friday night, but the weather was not the only source of heat around Florida’s toughest 3/8ths mile. Five divisions were turned loose on the track to compete against each other and the conditions, and as one might expect some of the racers were hot, and some were hot in other ways.

The Colortyme Rentals Modifieds highlighted the night’s action as the battle has heated up between Wayne Hammond and Jeff Mathews, and as fate would have it those two went at each other for most of the race. Hammond started in the 8th position while Mathews started 6th, and both wasted no time in pushing their way to the front and then focusing on each other. Hammond looked like a sure bet to beat Mathews for most of the race, as he would fend off every move Mathews could muster then pull away, but a late race caution would hook them up again, and as they took the white flag Mathews had Hammond right where he wanted him. Jeff Mathews drove his 33 machine under Hammond and forced his way past in turn 1while bringing the crowd to their feet, then held on for 3/4 of a lap to take the win. Wayne Hammond had to settle for a very close second, while Jamie Carter drove the 75 machine to a third place finish. Kyle Bronson and “Hollywood” Chip Owen rounded out the top five.

Ocala’s Sportsman Division has been through a lot this season, and Friday night was no exception. From the time that the racers arrived at the pit gate there were rumors swirling that this would be the last Sportsman race at Ocala as a regular division, and a low turnout prompted race officials to restrict the Sportsman cars to a “feature only” format. And while no official word was given as to the fate of the division at Ocala, the racers were told in the driver’s meeting that the division may not be on the revised season schedule which is due to be posted next week.

The car to beat turned out to be John Bradley as he took control early and forced the others to chase him. “Big Frog” Augie Burttram was the lead chaser, but never managed to reel in Bradley. Meanwhile Danny Vogel’s 99 machine never really got going as both Burttram and Bradley passed him easily. John Bradley got the win followed by Augie Burttram in the Dave’s Towing, Big Frog Motorsports 58. Danny Vogel brought the Mills Concrete 99 car to a third place finish, while David Ponton and David Denson were fourth and fifth place finishers.

Ocala’s Mini Stocks have also traveled a rough road to get to this point in 2010, and as a solid field of cars hit the clay for their feature race, little did the drivers realize that the road would get a little rougher following the excitement on the track. Ray Ethridge led the field to the green while Paul Combast, and Nick and Dan Kerr began the race from near the back of the pack. Combast shot up to the fourth spot by lap 2, while the Kerr machines followed him through the field, and on lap 4 Combast was already knocking Ethridge down to second.

While Combast was fast, Nick and Dan Kerr were in no way intimidated and were all over Combast’s car by lap 7. As Nick Kerr tried to pass Combast going into turn 3, Brack Gill spun out in turn two, followed by contact between Kerr and Combast in three. Both Combast and Nick Kerr did an about face in front of the field, but the caution was waving at the same time for Gill’s spin, which gave both racers their positions back for the restart. Dan Kerr’s machine suffered some damage that slowed it, but Nick Kerr was happy to harass Combast enough for two in his place, finally getting past and taking the lead on lap 9 and holding it to the finish.

But after Nick Kerr celebrated in Victory Lane, he left the track to be flagged down for an inspection in the tech shed which resulted in his disqualification. That handed the win to defending division champion Paul Combast, and gave second place to Buddy Pope. Johnny Zackery wound up as the third place finisher while Ray Ethridge moved up to fourth place. And after the required scoring recheck was completed, it was discovered that Michael Oglesby finished in fifth place.

When the Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants V8 Thunder Stocks hit the track the fans know that there is going to be excitement, and again the Thunder Stocks were more than happy to oblige with another of their wild races that took on the look of an enduro. And while the race featured the usual oversupply of contact and property damage, it also provided some red hot action in the front of the pack.

Austin Kirkpatrick and Chris Fontaine had quite the tussle developing during the race with Kirkpatrick finally managing to muscle the 11 car back into the lead on lap 9 after Chris Fontaine had done the same back on lap 3. Unfortunately for Kirkpatrick, the caution waved at virtually the same time and he was relegated back behind Fontaine’s machine for the restart. Kirkpatrick did not see it that way at all, and was furiously battling Fontaine again when his rear axle broke, sending him to the pits with two reasons to be hot on a hot night.

Meanwhile Ryan Lisak had been on fire all night, fighting his way into the top three and staying out of harm’s way as Kirkpatrick and Fontaine fought it out. And with Kirkpatrick gone it was Lisak’s cue to go after the leader, but simply ran out of laps needed to get the job finished. Chris Fontaine picked up another win as Ryan Lisak settled for second place. Michael Stalnaker hung around the top five for most of the race and finished third, while Scott Mooers was fourth and Justin “Bubba” Durbin placed fifth.

Casey Feaster had eagerly told anyone who would listen how he intended to be the points leader at two major Florida dirt tracks at the same time, and at just three points short of the lead at Ocala Speedway he was poised to do just that. But as the night wore on there was no 20 car in the pit area while Feaster and his crew made a quick dash to a parts store and then worked feverishly to replace a faulty starter while sitting in a K-mart parking lot. Feaster arrived at Ocala Speedway just in time to unload and start on the rear of the field for the Gladiator feature race, then he drove it like he stole it in order to make his way into the top three.

But despite all the Casey Feaster managed to accomplish in getting to the track in order to take his best shot at the points lead, current points leader Steven Johnson was just a little better, and had a far shorter and less stressful voyage to get there. Matt Shea and Steven Johnson managed to separate themselves from the rest of the pack during the race, and since the race ran caution free from flag to flag, Feaster had zero help in catching them. EBD Racing’s Matt Shea was by far the dominant car, taking a convincing win as Steven Johnson followed for second place. And although Casey Feaster managed to reel in the top two late in the race, he was forced to settle for third place behind Johnson. Kyle Morse finished fourth, while Devin Walker rounded out the top five.

On Friday, July 16th Ocala Speedway presents a special event, as the Top Gun 360 Sprint Cars will take on the challenging 3/8ths mile track, and the Florida Mini Sprint Association will be back for their first outing at Ocala Speedway since the January Winternationals. In addition to the thrills of winged sprint action, fans will see racing from the Tee Pee Tire Hobby Stocks, and Ocala’s Gladiator Division. Ocala Speedway is due to post the revised 2010 season schedule sometime this coming week, so racers and fans are reminded to check www.OcalaSpeedway.com for updated information.
