After a week off for the July 4th Independence Day holiday weekend, Auburndale Speedway returns to action Saturday night with nine classes of racing set to do battle.

The Auburndale Trucks return to racing along with the Sportsman cars, Street Stocks, Mini Stocks, Legend Cars, V-8 Bombers and Bandoleros. Joining the track’s regular classes will be a pair of traveling groups, the Outlaw Modifieds and the Southeast Champ Kart Series.

The Trucks make their fourth appearance of the year as their field continues to grow. Jim Cowhey, Jr. and Tommy King are tied for the point lead headed into action this week while just ten points separate the lead duo from Roger Blevins, Tim Sozio and Keith Lilley who are third through fifth in the standings.

Dave Dunkin padded his Sportsman point lead just a bit two weeks ago with another win but Mark Medeiros is still within striking distance just 22 markers behind Dunkin. Austin Carr has dropped well behind the front pair but still sits third in Sportsman points despite missing the last two races.

The Street Stock point battle continues to see-saw back and forth between current leader Matt McCrary and Jeff Waterman. McCrary holds a slim six point edge over Waterman while third place Dave Colpritt trails by 62 tallies.

Chris Spring has opened up a 32 point edge over Fred Harrison, Jr. in the Mini Stock point standings and it will be these two who will ultimately decide the season championship. Meanwhile, Josh Borem all but has the V-8 Bomber title wrapped up already, currently leading the standings by a whopping 160 points over Buddy Phillips, Jr.

Things have gotten very interesting in the Legend Car class as Jake Perkins has caught Gerald White, Jr. and the two are now tied for the point lead in this very competitive division. Defending Legend Car champion Justin Brown sits 38 points behind the two front-runners.

The Outlaw Modifieds have been inactive for awhile thanks to weather-related issues, but make their second appearance of the year at Auburndale Speedway this week. Tom Meyer of Pinellas Park leads the Outlaw Modified points and has three wins on the season already. Steady Ric Mills trails Meyer by 18 in the point chase while the winner here back on May 1st, Doug Hopper, is third in points followed by Craig Sherar and Mike Endee.

The Southeast Champ Kart Series (SECKS) are set for their third run of the year at Auburndale. Phil Harp was the most recent winner here while Dennis Mace copped the win at the most recent SECKS show held at Citrus County Speedway.

Saturday, pit gates open at 2PM, grandstand gates open at 5PM and racing begins at 7PM. For more information just log on to www.auburndaleracing.com powered by Palm Tree Computers.

Friday Night Practice this week.
(July 9th, 2010) (previously it was posted for Thursday)

 
The Larry MacMillan Memorial 100
    for Open Wheel Modified’s !!
             July 10th, 2010

100 all green flag laps
(Note Below)
We would like to let the drivers know, that after speaking with several drivers, we will have a halfway break at lap 50. Many of the drivers/owners have expressed concern over making it 100 green flag laps on some of the smaller fuel cells. So we will stop the race at lap 50 for fuel and tire pressure adjustments only. No other adjustments may be made at that time and a maximum of 2 people per car on the track for the break.

$1500 to win
$200 to start
$75 entry fee

Race format:
All cars will qualify, top 20 qualifiers will be locked into the 100 lap feature.  There will be a B-main to transfer 2 more cars to the 100 lap feature. The length of the B-main will be determined by the amount of cars in the B-main. 2 laps per car, maximum of 20 laps. So if there are 5 cars in the B-main, the race will be 10 laps long. After the B-main we will bring the remaining non-qualified drivers to the front straight with their cars.  At that time the fans, by a show of applause will decide the last 2 cars to make it into the 100 lap feature. The final starting line-up for the feature will be determined by 1 of our fans rolling a giant foam die down the track.  There could be a maximum of 12 cars inverted, or none if the die comes up on the one.

Citrus County Speedway rules do apply.  You must use the Citrus County Speedway track approved American Racer threaded 8″ tire.  There will be a 70 lb. allowance for fuel burn off.  Any other tech questions should be directed to Travis Nichols at 352-585-3560.  You may call the Speedway office at 352-726-9339 or John Chance at 352-201-8257 with any other questions.  This will be a non points race.  Please see below for the complete payoff.

Payoff for July 10th, 2010 Larry MacMillan Memorial

All other cars attempting to qualify and run the B-main will receive $100 tow money.

There is no fuel or tire purchase requirement.

NOTE:  We would like to let the drivers know, that after some tire testing the last few weeks, we have decided to put a durometer rule in effect for this race. The no soaking policy will be lifted, it’s just too hard to police. We have tested several cars for the last two modified races at Citrus, before, during, and after the races. The softest reading we had on any tire was a 54 hot, most tires were in the 55 to 56 range. So for this race we will put a limit of 50 durometer reading, anything that reads less than a 50 will be disqualified.
We also would like to let the drivers know, that even with the 50 lap break for fuel, you will still be given a 50lb tolerance on total weight for fuel burn off.
If you have any questions about the above subjects, please call Travis Nichols at 352-585-3560

Below is a Current July 2010 race schedule: Dates and events have changed in the past few days.

July 24th NOTE:

July 31st NOTE:  The lawn mower race on July 31st, three divisions, Standard Lawn Mowers 20hp and under,and 20hp and up: must have deck without blades, Then an Open Class for those that have modified lawnmowers, this is an anything goes class, no rules except no blades. All drivers are required to register and sign in at the pit gate. The kids bike race on July 31st, age ranges: 3-6, 7-12, 13-18. If anyone would being willing to sponsor the race so that we could give the kids something special, please contact me (Becky Aaron) at 352-279-9778 if you have any questions. Thank you!

We look forward to seeing all of you. It’s going to be a very busy month.

OCALA, FL- Ocala Speedway returns to action this Friday night as five divisions will challenge the toughest 3/8ths mile in the southeast. Fans will see exciting action from the Colortyme Rentals Modifieds, the Sportsman Division, the Amsoil V8 Thunder Stocks, the Mini Stocks, and the Gladiators. The grandstand gates will open at 5PM Friday evening with heat races scheduled for 8PM sharp.

Things remain quite tight at the top of the Colortyme Modified standings for 2010 with Jeff Mathews still holding down the top spot. But Mathews’ perch is by no means safe, as eight other top racers are within 75 points of knocking him down a notch or two. Kyle Bronson is only 20 points out of first place, while Wayne Hammond and Kyle Owen are just 24 and 25 points shy of the top. Right behind those three is Roger Crouse, who is only 30 points out of first place. And with the points standings this close, a slip by one or more racers this Friday could result in a very different arrangement in the top positions.

Ocala Speedway’s Sportsman Division has seen a host of racers who have come in, run an event, then disappeared, and with the early season weather problems that kept the point totals low it resulted in a confusing jumble at the top of the heap. But after the race on June 25th things settled down quite a bit, with those who race at Ocala consistently finally taking charge. “Big Frog” Augie Burttram remains on top of the points, while some mechanical gremlins have kept Hollister’s Kevin Mills 52 points out of first place. David Ponton follows in third place just 23 points behind Mills, and Billy Costello is mere two points behind Ponton.

Jerrid Bennett continues to hold onto first place in the Amsoil V8 Thunder Stock points standings, but EBD Racing’s Brian Shea, and the always formidable Michael Stalnaker, are tied at just 24 points out of first place. Stalnaker usually wins the races he finishes, but finishing has been an issue for the EZ Shines crew as of late. If Stalnaker can keep the wheels on and the engine running, he should be ready to pull ahead of Shea and unseat Bennett at the top of the heap. But if Stalnaker continues to have mechanical issues, Brian Shea is in position to take control.

The Mini Stock Division at Ocala Speedway remains tight at the top as the racers return after some time away from the track. 2009 Mini Stock Division Champion Paul Combast is again at the top of the points ladder, but the dynamic duo of Nick and Dan Kerr are giving Combast the fight of his life. Nick Kerr is just 3 points out of first place, while Dan Kerr remains 12 points shy of unseating Combast, and both will be gunning for Combast’s 19C machine this Friday night.

Steven Johnson will still have a finger hold on first place as the Gladiators hit the track this Friday, but Casey Feaster is asserting himself as the man to beat at Ocala Speedway, and is lurking within 3 points of taking Johnson down a notch. But Feaster cannot afford to focus on Johnson because he has a chaser of his own to contend with in Devin Walker. Walker has pulled the Lasoski Racing 55JR within 9 points of Feaster, and within 12 points of Johnson, and he is showing no sign of letting up on either of them. Matt Shea remains in the hunt as well, holding in the fourth spot at 40 points shy of first place.
