More Excitement Comes to Ocala

by Jimmy Rouse- Ocala Speedway Media

Ocala Speedway has a huge night of action this Friday with the Daytona Antique Auto Racing Association coming to town while the Colortyme Open-Wheel Modifieds, Tee Pee Tire Hobby Stocks, Amsoil V-8 Thunderstocks which will be attempting to win the $1000 prize, and the Gladiators will all run to gain ground in their title chases.

The Colortyme Open-Wheel Modifieds have had an exciting season where a driver just picks up and dominates. Jeff Mathews dominated through most of the summer, but the last 2 races have seen Kyle Bronson win and that has kept Mathews’ lead at 43 points. A winner this season already, Wayne Hammond will keep Bronson on his toes as Hammond hopes to pass Bronson because they’re separated by the slimmest 3 points. Tim Zackery will be gunning for some massive points as he’s 124 back and the same from 5th place Garrett Stewart, 154 behind Mathews. Anything can, and will happen at Ocala though, and we could see a huge points shake-up.

The Tee Pee Tire Hobby Stocks have had a season in which some drivers have had really good luck and some have had really bad luck. Danny Miller found the other end of the spectrum as after he won and won and won, he had the ride of his life last month. Dean Jarvis has beat the gremlins, for the most part, this year and holds 41 points over Heath Walker. Danny Miller is 20 behind Walker which gives Walker some slight breathing room. William Edwards is 97 points out of the lead and Jody Wells is 140 points out of the lead and they’ll both be gunning to hold their top-5 positions.

Mike Stalnaker has dominated the Amsoil V-8 Thunderstocks this year and holds 137 points over Chris Shea. Scott Mooers is 22 points behind Shea, but can’t focus on chasing as he’s got to hold Brian Shea back. Brian Shea is only 1 point behind Mooers and wants that top-3 points finish. Vaughn Woodall is 28 points behind Brian Shea and holds 39 points over 6th place. Woodall will attempt to hold his top-5 while chasing 4th place.

The Gladiators have had a great season of racing, but the points have started to spread out a bit. Last time out, Matt Shea, whom has put 30 points over Devin Walker, won. Casey Feaster is 3rd, 94 points behind Shea, but doesn’t look to throw in the towel. Steven Johnson is 136 points behind Shea, but Johnson has recently hit a hot streak. Kyle Morse holds 5th by over 100 points which gives him a chance to chase and gain the 211 points he is down to Shea.

The gates at Ocala Speedway open at 5PM while racing starts at 8. Prices are as usual and for more information you can call the Speedway or visit www.ocalaspeedway.com.

Teate Makes It Two in a Row at Mobile International with TBARA

by Marty Little

IRVINGTON, Ala. – Dude Teate made it two for two on the TBARA Gulf Coast swing Saturday night as he again bested the winged sprint car feature at Mobile International Speedway.

Polesitter Johnny Gilbertson hustled to the lead at the drop of the initial green flag but the first of two yellow flags waved on lap three when Bo Hartley ran off the backstretch. The field regrouped with Hartley at the rear and Gilbertson still in command until lap five when Teate’s fleet No. 0 powered to the point of the 17 car field.

Point leader Shane Butler gave chase and ran side by side with Teate for several laps until shredding his right rear tire.

The second and final yellow of the evening waved on lap 14 when D.J. Hoezle suffered a flat and looped his car out of harm’s way. When the green flag waved again it was all Teate as he powered to his fourth tour victory of the season. Hartley charged back after his early spin for second money ahead of Mickey Kempgens, Shane Butler and Steve Heisler. Heat race victories went to Hartley, Butler and Kempgens.

Dude Teate Wins at Five Flags in TBARA Feature

by Marty Little

PENSACOLA, Fla. – Dude Teate continued his late season win skein as he topped the 30 lap TBARA feature event Friday night at Five Flags Speedway.

Bryan Riddle paced the early laps from his outside front row starting spot but quickly overhauled by Bo Hartley. The first yellow flag waved on lap five for a tangle among Johnny Gilbertson, Stan Butler and Steve Heisler. Heisler was the only one able to continue.

Hartley stayed on the point but David Steele was working his way through traffic and caught Hartley on lap 14 and had just made the leading pass when his No. 91 suffered a broken axle and the slammed the front chute concrete to bring out the event’s only red flag. Steele was uninjured but his car was heavily damaged.

Once again it was Harltey in command, but not for long as Teate pushed his familiar Bio Based No. 0 into the lead on lap 18. One circuit later the final yellow of the evening waved as the cars of Shane Butler and Todd Fayard spun on the backstretch with both able to continue.

Teate was never challenged in the final 10 laps as he sped to his fourth victory of the season and second consecutive in October. Fayard roared back from his spin to claim runner- up money over Shane Butler, Mickey Kempgens and Larry Brazil, Jr. The second five were Shane Miller, Hartley, Riddle, Tim Thrash and Steele.
