Ocala Kicks Off Memorial Weekend with Four Divisions

OCALA, FL- A long Memorial Day weekend awaits central Florida race fans and Ocala Speedway will kick it off on Friday night with four exciting divisions. The Colortyme Modifieds will headline the show, and the Sportsman Division will be back in action. Fans can also expect action packed racing from the Tee Pee Tire Hobby Stocks, and also the fast and furious Gladiator cars.

Things remain tight at the top with the Colortyme Modifieds as 16 racers are within striking distance of points leader Jeff Mathews. Roger Crouse is just 6 points back, while Wayne Hammond and Kyle Bronson are just 9 and 10 points short of the lead spot respectively. Wayne Hammond got the win the last time out as Mathews followed for second place and Roger Crouse was third. And while Mathews leads the points standings at Ocala Speedway, he is currently ranked 6th in the DIRTcar UMP National Modified rankings.

While the Sportsman Division at Ocala Speedway came to be at the request of many racers, the division has suffered through some tough outings so far in 2010. Kevin Mills currently holds onto the points lead, but “Big Frog” Augie Burttram is only two points shy of knocking him down a notch, while Tim Powers and Shane Nichols both lurk within 6 points of Mills. The last outing for the Sportsman cars at Ocala was a brutal non points, $1000 to win, affair that was won by Alex Boerner. Mills did not fare very well in that race, but Phillip Cobb was second while Shane Nichols posted a fourth place finish.

Dean Jarvis has the points lead in the Tee Pee Tire Hobby Stock Division but Heath Walker is right on his tail and only 4 points shy of overtaking him. And that is how it looked in the last outing at Ocala Speedway, as Jarvis and Walker battled almost the entire race before Jarvis managed to win. Jonathan Appleby holds onto the third spot in the points race at 27 points in back of Jarvis. And a look at the DIRTcar UMP National Stock Car standings shows three local racers in the top 20. Bubba Christian holds the 9th place nationally, while “The Outlaw” Jody Wells sits in the 14th spot, and Mike Eubanks is ranked 19th.

It was not that long ago that Casey Feaster seemed to have the car to beat in Ocala Speedway’s Gladiator Division, but in the last two outings Feaster has had to play second fiddle to EBD Racing’s Matt Shea, who is going for three wins in a row this Friday night. Shea is currently fourth in the 2010 points race and climbing fast, while Steven Johnson holds onto the top spot after a less than spectacular race this past Friday night. Johnson had better not feel too cozy up there in the lead role as young Devin Walker is only 11 points shy of replacing him, and picked up a third place finish last weekend behind Shea and Feaster. Casey Feaster, who is currently third in Ocala’s points standings and still searching for a solution to Matt Shea, is currently 17th in the DIRTcar UMP National Sport Compact standings.

The grandstand gates will open at 5PM this Friday night with heat races scheduled for 8PM.

FIGURE EIGHTS AND DEMO DERBY TO SPICE UP HOLIDAY WEEKEND RACING AT AUBURNDALE SPEEDWAY

by Dave Westerman

Auburndale Speedway will be the place to be this Memorial Holiday weekend as the Figure Eight racers make their first appearance of the year while the Southeast Champ Kart Series (SECKS) entertains for the second time this season. Also on tap are the Sportsman Cars, Street Stocks, Legend Cars, Mini Stocks, V-8 Bombers and Bandoleros. The night will end with a big Demolition Derby.

The Southeast Champ Kart group always put on a dynamic show and expect plenty of karts to be on hand Saturday. Tim Simmons leads the SECKS point standings following his recent win at Citrus County Speedway. Kenner Brown III trails Simmons by 25 points heading into this weeks action. Romay Venta, Ryan Walters and Billy Smith sit third through fifth in the standings while the winner at Auburndale back on March 13th, Dustin Chisholm, is eighth in the current SECKS standings.

The Sportsman cars return after a slam-bang affair two weeks ago that left several cars in need of new body panels. Dave Dunkin continues to lead the point chase by eight markers over young Austin Carr while Mark Medeiros is now just four points behind Carr after winning his second race of the year two weeks ago.

Jeff Waterman’s win last week coupled with an absolutely terrible night for Matt McCrary saw Waterman regain the point lead by 20 over McCrary. Each driver has suffered through some awful weeks in the last month and that has allowed steady Dave Colpritt to climb to within 34 points of the division lead.

Gerald White, Jr. added to his Legend Car point lead with yet another win last week. White now has a somewhat comfortable 32 point edge over Jake Perkins. Meanwhile, third place Justin Brown has climbed to within just two points of Perkins.

The Mini Stock point battle continues to be hot and heavy as Chris Spring holds a slim six tally advantage over Fred Harrison, Jr. with Chris Narramore, Sr. not that far behind in third. The fourth place driver in points, Donnie Guy, doesn’t have a race car anymore, having sold his mount to Narramore.

Josh Borem continues to run and hide in the V-8 Bomber point chase. Borem has now opened up his lead over Buddy Phillips, Jr. to 112 points.

Saturday, pit gates open at 2PM, grandstand gates open at 5PM and racing begns at 7PM.

NOTES:

The month of June will be very active at Auburndale Speedway starting with the return of School Bus Figure Eight racing on June 5th. The Auburndale Trucks make their third appearance of the year on June 12th while the next big Late Model race is scheduled foJune 19th along with the return of the Mini Cups. The Open Wheel Modifieds are enjoying a bit of time off, but will return to action on June 26th before the speedway takes a week off to celebrate the July 4th Holiday.

The representatives from Aarons were overwhelmed at the fan response at last weeks’ races, so much so they plan to return later in the year. Several fans hauled of great raffle prizes from Aarons last week including a 60 inch TV, some desk top printers, a camera and more. It was good to see that many of the winners were Auburndale Speedway “regulars” who support the track week in and week out.

The young lady who won a bicycle as part on the ongoing “Lindsey’s Little Racers” program was very, very young… a baby in fact. Her parents decided to give the bike to an older girl who was part of a family they had come to the races with… a very nice gesture. The next “Lindsey’s Little Racers bike giveaway will be on June 5th, the night of the School Bus Figure Eight race. The fans have been supporting the weekly raffle drawings very well which is allowing for the purchase of more bicycles this year. Prizes are needed to support the raffle, so if you have anything you’d like to donate, just bring it to the track on Saturday evening and you’ll get plenty of publicity for it. Speaking of publicity, Auburndale Speedway is looking for a seat cushion sponsor. This is a great way to prmote a business while keeping the fans more “comfortable.” Fans have also been asking about Auburndale Speedway shirts and hats. The track is seeking a partner to help produce apparel for the speedway. If you are interested in getting involved, please contact Announcer/PR Director Dave Westerman by e-mail at announcerdave@usa.net.

JEFF SCOFIELD WINS AMF CHASSIS/CHASSIS WORKS 100 AT AUBURNDALE SPEEDWAY

by Dave Westerman

It was just “one of those nights” at Auburndale Speedway Saturday evening as Jeff Scofield survived the wild and crazy action to win the AMF Chassis/Chassis Works 100 for the Late Models. Starter Julian Mullis wore his arm out waving the yellow and red flags all night long as the drivers apparently thought there was a full moon over the speedway.

The fans, and there were a bunch of them, had plenty of fun though. Aarons and “Lucky Dog” were on hand and several fans took home some great prizes including a 60 inch TV, printers and cameras while two lucky youngsters carried off a pair of bicycles courtesy of “Lindsey’s Little Racers.” (more…)

Sportsman Spectacular this Weekend at Volusia Speedway Park

by VSP Media

BARBERVILLE, FL- With the Memorial Day Weekend fast approaching race fans are gearing up for the Annual Taylor Racing Products Sportsman spectacular at Volusia Speedway Park this Saturday night. in addition to the best in Sportsman division action, fans will se the Daytona dodge Chysler Late models back in action on the big half mile, plus racing from the Daytona sportswear Street Stocks, the Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants Thunder Stocks, and the 4 Cylinder Challengers.

Racers had their last bit of seat time before the Taylor Racing Products Sportman Spectacular this past Saturday night in a feature race won by the current points leader, Aaron Barsness. And While Barsness was winning, he also added to his lead over second place Shaun Daugharty, Daugharty’s night began with bad luck and finished with a less than stellar performance that earned him a ninth place finish, so Barsness now has a 21 point cushion at the top. But those roles are reversed in the DIRTcar UMP Sportsman national rankings, as Shaun Daugharty is ranked fourth and Barsness is right behind him in fifth place.

Danny Vogel may not be a factor in the points race, but his brand new machine finished second to Barsness on Saturday, and gave the points leader a few things to consider during the week. With $1200 going to the winner this Saturday, it is a sure bet that these racers, and others, will bring their “A” game to Volusia Speedway Park this weekend.

On May 15th Tyler Ivey drove a wounded and smoking race car to a Daytona Dodge Chrysler Late Model Feature win as Joe Kump desperately tried to chase him down. Kump ran out of laps a bit too soon and Ivey prevailed, but he demonstrated the speed that he has found inside the new look J17 machine. “Chewy” Minchew has also been strong lately, finishing the May 15th race right behind Kump, but David Clegg still holds onto the points lead despite a spate of lousy luck the last couple of times out. Kump trails Clegg by 43 points going into this weekend’s race, and Donnie Chappell is in the third spot after finishing fourth the last time out.

Things are tight at the top of the Daytona Sportswear Street Stock points rankings with Phillip Brown still holding onto first place. But Trevor Gamble is a mere 7 points shy of the leader while Tim Hughes is 4 points further back. But while these racers hold onto the top three spots in the points, the current hot shoe belongs to Mike Tovet, who has won two out of the last three outings. Tovet is holding onto fourth place in the points and climbing, but right now is still 102 points out of the top spot. While Trevor Gamble may be trailing Phillip Brown in the VSP points race, he is the top dog nationally in the DIRTcar UMP Stock Car standings, while Tim Hughes follows him by a mere 2 points. Phillip Brown is sixth in the national standings.

When it comes to the Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants Thunder Stocks at Volusia Speedway Park, Scott Mooers reigns supreme. Not only does he hold the lead in the VSP 2010 points standings by a whopping 154 points over Luke Sadler, but he is also to top man in the DIRTcar UMP Factory Stock national standings as well by 97 points. But apparently Luke Sadler failed to get the memo about Scott Mooers being a superman because Sadler beat him last Saturday night, and is gunning to do it again this weekend. And Sadler is no slouch himself, currently ranked fourth in the national standing behind Mooers.

Things have started to scramble a little as some new faces ascend to the front of the field in the Challenger Division. First it was Shawn Kosier who dominated the division, then Casey Feaster took a turn at the top, now the division is seeing a different winner every weekend as Allen Espy, Tony Laporta, and this Harold Lewis all have enjoyed celebrations in Victory Lane. Despite recent events, Shawn Kosier still holds onto the VSP 2010 points lead by 51 over R.J. Glaser, and is still hanging in there in tenth place in the DIRTcar UMP Sport Compact national rankings, with R.J. right behind him in the twelfth spot.

The grandstand gates will open at 5:30PM this Saturday with heats scheduled to begin at 7:30PM. For more information on the Taylor Racing Products Sportsman Spectacular, or any other scheduled events at Volusia Speedway Park, please visit www.VolusiaSpeedwayPark.net.

VSP Celebrates Teen Night with Fastlane Five Racing

by VSP Media

BARBERVILLE, FL- The younger generation was the focus on Teen Night as Volusia Speedway Park featured five divisions of high speed racing action on Saturday. The Budweiser Modifieds were back, as well as the Taylor Racing Products Sportsman Division, plus the Daytona Sportswear Street Stocks, Amsoil Synthetics Thunder Stocks, and the 4 Cylinder Challengers.

Jason Davis was the talk of the Budweiser Modifieds as he showed up with a brand new Snow Brothers modified that had never turned any laps, but “new” and “untested” can sometimes be a bad combinaton, as Davis soon found out. The car never got going in hot laps as water spewed from the overflow, and as Davis hit the track for his heat race he got about a lap and a half in before the new engine totally uncorked on the backstretch, ending his night.

Kyle Bronson had knocked the new off of his modified the previous weekend at Ocala Speedway and was ready for the challenge of the big half mile at Volusia on Saturday. Larry Burkins had the pole but Bronson blew by him to snatch the lead and never looked back. Kyle Bronson got the win in dominating fashion, going flag to flag and making it look easy. Jamie Carter snagged the second place finish behind Bronson, while Larry Burkins had to settle for the third spot. Jeff Mathews somehow got stuck in fourth place and remained there to the finish, as Wayne Hammond rounded out the top five.

“Double Down” Danny Vogel also showed up with a new ride as the Taylor Racing Products Sportsman Division got down to business, and Vogel’s debut went far more smoothly. Aaron Barsness led the field to the green flag and seemed in control despite the efforts of Steve Shead, but Shead had to contend with Stanton Mills who has been on fire as of late, and that kept him distracted enough to remain in second place.

Danny Vogel may have been in a new car, but he drove it like he knew it well, climbing through the field and making his way into the top three. Vogel used a restart to propel his way to the second position, then went to work on Barsness. Vogel managed to use the slower car of Heinz Haas as a rolling pick to steal the lead at one point, but at virtually the same time a spinning car in turn one slowed the field and took Vogel’s move away. Barsness was able to hang on from that point, and despite Vogel’s best efforts Aaron Barsness got the win as Danny Vogel settled for second place. Steve Shead hung on to claim third, while Stanton Mills and Chris Day finished fourth and fifth.

Sometimes a rise to the top can result in a sudden and unexpected decent, and the Daytona Sportswear Street Stocks offered up a prime example in the fortunes of Joe Belkey. After unplanned absence Belkey returned to Volusia Speedway Park last weekend and won, and that had him feeling pretty confident as this week’s race began. Mike Tovet was back on top as he led from the pole, but Belkey was making moves and coming fast. Grady Christian was in third place when he spun in turn four, spotting Belkey up to his spot in the field and relegating “Shady” Grady to the rear, but just three laps later it was Belkey who found himself planted in the guardrail at the exit of turn two, ending his night with a ride on a hook.

Trevor Gamble had a consistent and strong run going, and managed to wrestle the lead from Mike Tovet on lap 7 as Phillip Brown and Justin Sirmons moved into the top five behind the leaders. But Tovet was undaunted by losing the lead, and patiently waited for Gamble to leave an opening for him on lap 11. Once that door was opened Gamble could not shut it again, and Mike Tovet retook the lead and won the race. Trevor Gamble settled for second place while Justin Sirmons improved his standing to a third place finish. Phillip Brown took the fourth spot, while Grady Christian battled his way from the rear to salvage a fifth place finish.

David Whitt had his lucky 13 car on the pole for the Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants Thunder Stock feature race, and he used that position to hold off Luke Sadler and Scott Mooers and lead for two thirds of the race. But a lack of cautions had the field spread out, and that meant that the leaders were having to negotiate their way around slower traffic, which sometimes can result in mishaps when slow cars do not get out of the way fast enough.

Whitt was well in front of Sadler when he overtook Delbert Moyers’ slower car on the frontstretch. Moyer failed to choose a line and got loose, moving across the track in front of Whitt, and that caused the two to collide hard, spinning both out and sending Whitt’s machine careening into the wall. Both cars left the track on a hook as crews cleaned up the debris, and Luke Sadler assumed the lead. Meanwhile, this was Moyers’ second major crash where his car came in contact with the race leaders this season. It was Moyers’ car that was hit by Randy Strehle as he and Scott Mooers raced through the final turn on March 13th, resulting in Strehle’s flip and fire on the front stretch.

Luke Sadler hung on for the win, followed by Scott Mooers and Tom Hughes. Wally Douglass placed fourth, while Matt Schell battled his way to the fifth spot.

Gilbert Espy led from the pole as the 4 Cylinder Challengers took the green, but handling issues had his car reversing through the top five as Harold Lewis rocketed past him for the lead. Tony Laporta started in the fourth position and quickly climbed to second place, but never found a way to overtake Lewis who was certainly on his game. Steven Cox struggled a bit at first, but found his groove and maintained the third position.

As the field strung out the leaders worked their way through traffic, lapping slower cars along the way. Laporta refused to let Lewis get away, but Harold Lewis was too much for the 3T machine so Tony Laporta found a degree of satisfaction in being second at the finish. Steven Cox placed third while James Smith notched the fourth spot, and Gilbert Espy wrestled his ill handling machine to a fifth place finish.

Memorial Day Weekend brings the Annual Sportsman Spectacular to Volusia Speedway Park next Saturday, May 29th. The Taylor Racing Products Sportsman Division will be racing for $1200 first place payout, plus fans can see action from the Daytona Dodge Chrysler Late Models, Daytona Sportswear Street Stocks, Amsoil Thunder Stocks, and the 4 Cylinder Challengers.
