The Brinson Family Racing Tradition Continues in Florida Racing

Sunshine State Racing Story:

Most of you are very familiar with the Brinson name in Florida short track racing. Today we are talking about Cody Brinson, a multifaceted and very talented man in the early stages of his career. A career that already has a very bright future.

Cody is typically soft spoken, usually an observer, a man of few words. He comes from a family with a long and rich history of racing in the state of Florida. Both of his great grandfathers and his grandfather ended their careers with a pile of wins.

During the week, you can usually find him at his shop, Mach One Race Cars, where he is the owner. The work coming out of his shop is immaculate, and he has a great style. He has inherited his mother’s relentless work ethic and spends most of his time in the shop.

Cody does not just build and repair race cars though. He is a pretty darn good driver too. He sets up cars and does a little driving to test them as well. It does not matter if he is in a super or pro late model, or a pro truck, he is quick! For a man that does not get to drive as often as he would like, his talent impresses me. He can jump from car to car, sometimes on the same night, and has speed. He is also right there when he gets an opportunity to actually race. He reminds me of guys like Brennan Pletcher, Chase King and Carter Brown. The four of them race smart, clean, and usually find their way to the front. Cody has unfortunately had some bad luck recently. (no fault of his own)

For some time now I heard about Cody as a spotter. People tell me how good he is with drivers, giving them the info they need, when they need it. Also about how calm he is, and makes it fun. This past weekend I was finally able to eavesdrop while he spotted for Colton Bettis. Colton was making his debut in a pro late model. They qualified p1 and started there as well. During warm up laps Cody went over the plan for the start, receiving a yes sir from Colton on each transmission. Once the green flag dropped, I quickly heard and understood all that I had heard about Cody on the radio. Headed into turn one on the opening lap “Great start, drive it in there deep for me, outside, door, door, give me three hard laps to start it off, door, clear. Good job, give me two more hard laps and we’ll settle in.” From there he called out lap times as compared to the car behind. At one point he asked for a little more from his driver, asking for very specific lap times. Cody got exactly what he asked for, lap after lap. In response, Cody let his driver know that if he kept doing that, they wouldn’t catch him. Cody and Colton met in victory lane a short time later. After the race Colton said that he was impressed with how Cody could see exactly what the car was doing and gave great feedback.

Cody has spent a fair amount of time spotting for, and working with TJ DeCaire. I reached out to TJ and he said that He and Cody are very close, almost like brothers. For a while they would Irace after school and work for hours, many days in a row. Even though it was just Iracing, and it is virtual, he really believes that it played a part in growing their friendship, which in turn assisted with their real-world experiences in spotting and driving for each other. They still Irace when the opportunity arises, which has been less frequent lately due to both having busier schedules. TJ Stated he admires how hard Cody works at hanging bodies, repairing parts, and how good of a spotter he is too. He favors Cody’s spotting because of how close they are, and it makes him comfortable in any situation. “I can just tell in his voice when the clear low is a close call. I also like the fact that we motivate each other. He can get me up on the wheel to chase someone down, or when I tell him what information I need, to be better, he gets it for me. It all just clicks when we are together for races, and I am happy that I can call my spotter one of my best friends.”

We often talk about the sport being in great shape with the amount of talented young drivers we have. Well, we are also in great shape with the talent off the track as well. Cody Brinson is a great young man, a talented driver, and a wizard in the shop. The future of the sport, and the family legacy are safe in his hands.

Hello World it’s me, Colton Bettis

Sunshine State Racing Story

23/2/2024

Saturday was the inaugural The Childrens Dream Fund 50 race at Citrus County Speedway in Inverness Florida. Promoter JJ Dutton did an amazing job of putting this race on. He was able to get it co-sanctioned with the BG Southern Sprint Car Series and Must-See Racing. He drew some of the biggest names in sprint car racing to come and compete. We had eventual winner Joe Ligori, Bobby Santos, Aaron Willison all the way from British Columbia, Davey Hamilton Jr, and Troy DeCaire just to name a few. Leading up to the weekend there was quite a buzz as we do not get that kind of field here very often.

For Colton Bettis, this would be the first time he would be able to measure himself up against the best in the business. For me, there were questions leading up to the race. How would the 14-year-old handle the pressure of driving against them? We all know the speed is there, but racing side by side with them is a whole different animal. These men have been racing sprint cars since before he was born.

Friday practice saw Colton near the top of the board on speed, and the weekend was off to a good start. As we merged into Saturdays one hour practice session, it was hot and greasy, so everyone’s times were a little off. Car chief Tra Pissot did a little experimenting with the set up. Results were not shared, but whatever they did, or didn’t do, Tra had the car in top form as usual. Colton Bettis Racing maintained pace with the front runners and looked to be in good shape headed to qualifying.

The BG series uses heat races and previous finishing positions to set the field for the feature, so qualifying was a pleasant change of pace for the Florida based teams and fans. American Racer was the tire for the weekend. They brought a great tire as usual. However, qualifying can be challenging for some on the tire as they do take a few extra laps to get to optimal temp, but then create great racing for the end of the feature due to lack of fall off. I personally liked that aspect of the session as I enjoyed watching the drivers alone on the track and seeing the different ways each driver approached the laps while attempting to put down a quick one. At the end of the session, Aaron Willison was on pole, and only 1/10 off the track record held by Keith Butler. Second was Davey Hamilton Jr, third Bobby Santos, fourth Brian Gerster and fifth Colton Bettis.

Willison rolled a dice for the invert and it landed on eight. After a beautiful 3 wide salute to the fans, we lost three cars to a warmup lap incident. With cleanup finished, we got the fellas refired and went green. Steven Hollinger started on pole after the invert and shot to the lead like a rocket, pulling to almost a straight away lead in clean air while the others battled for position. Unfortunately, on a lap 12 restart, he lost what he believes to be a shock and surrendered positions from there.

Joe Ligori and Colton Bettis found themselves at the front of the field and none of us knew what a battle we were about to see. One that many thought to be very unlikely headed into the race weekend. Not because of either driver, but due to their engines. Troy DeCaire told me prior to the weekend that a 410 would probably be needed to win this race, but someone may surprise us, and be stout because of the weight advantage of the smaller engine. Fast forward to the half way point of the feature, and we have two 360’s in the midst of a epic battle for $10,000. Over several restarts, the pair stayed glued to each other while creating separation from Santos and Willison.

With 20 laps to go we had two restarts. In between those, Ligori and Bettis battled like heavyweights in a championship fight. Ligori is a wise veteran that used all of his experience, and some tricks on restarts in an effort to hold the youngster off. While Bettis on the other hand, used every bit of knowledge and skill has has in his young career to try and get by for the top spot. With 10 laps to go, Bettis was able to get underneath Ligori entering three and the two made contact. Both settled back into their original positions. With a few laps to go Ligori felt the front bumper from Bettis letting him know he was still there. Joe later said that when he felt that, he had to really dig deep because he knows how good Colton is, and it was going to be tough to stay ahead of him. As the checkered flag flew, it was Joe Ligori who crossed the line first, by a scant margin of 0.155 seconds, the pair still glued together.

Speaking to Colton after the race, he wasn’t exactly thrilled with second place. I get that, he hates losing! He has that killer instinct. He wants to win every race he enters. It’s a fine quality in a driver with the skillset he possesses.

What I hope for Colton, is that over time he comes to realize what he actually did Saturday evening. Due to his age, there is a lot of negative chatter about him being in this car. People who have never seen him drive, or have never met him, say he shouldn’t be allowed to be in this car. Well, this weekend put a nail in that coffin. A coming out party if you will. On a nationally televised race, against the best winged sprint car drivers in the country, he finished ahead of all but one, and he did it with class, as he always does. Similar to his race in the midget at Anderson speedway, a track he had never driven, and a car he had never driven. He won that race while holding off the series points leader. I spoke to 4 drivers after the Dream race who said that without question, they would have moved the leader if they were in Colton’s position to win $10,000. But Colton didn’t do that. He threw everything he could at Ligori attempting to pass him cleanly. And Joe did not make it easy to do so! No hate on Joe, he “did what he had to do to win the race”.

I am a huge fan and supporter of Colton Bettis the race car driver. He does things in the car that makes my jaw drop, makes me look at the people around me and ask if they saw that. I am though, an even bigger fan of Colton Bettis the person. He is a great young man. He carries himself with class, grace, humility and dignity. I would rather see him lose races the way he did Saturday and finish second, than move someone and win. It made me proud of him, to have that much maturity, for some of his age. If you know him, you know he is a grown man trapped in a young mans body.

This race will from now on be my retort if I hear someone say he shouldn’t be in this car. If the stars align, the right opportunities preset themselves, he will become a generational talent. If you hear his name on the bill, go see him drive. But don’t stop there, get a pit pass, go meet him and talk to him. You will not be disappointed. I guarantee it. If you didn’t know, you do now. He is here to stay. He is coming for your trophy’s and your money!!

Colton Bettis Kicks off the BG Products Southern Sprint Car Series 2024 Season with a huge win

BG SSSS SEASON OPENER

Story and Photos by Chris Fozillo:

The BG Southern Sprint Car Super Series (SSSS) held their season opener this past Saturday at Auburndale Speedway in Lakeland FL. They simultaneously ushered in a new era with the introduction of American Racer tires. The switch will lower costs for the teams and provides a tire with additional durability.

2023 series champion was absent from on opening weekend, but for a good cause. Saturday was his wedding day. Congratulations Daniel and Sarah.

There were 13 cars at the facility with one being a 602. The 602 class is in a growth period and regulars were not in attendance. We look forward to having all of them back for the next round, January 27^th at Citrus County Speedway.

Heat races were won by Steven Hollinger and Joe Ligori. Ironically the pair would make contact in the feature.

For the feature, series director Rick Day opted for a new approach to starting line ups, and did a pill draw to set the field. Fourteen-year-old phenom Colton Bettis drew the 1 pill and started on pole. With race monitor down for the evening, we relied on old school manual timing, and depending on who you talked to, Bettis and Hollinger were the fastest cars in practice. Either way you got the sense that Bettis would run away with this one starting p1.

After a beautiful three wide salute to the fans, the men lined up to get after it. Lap one was clean until Ligori appeared to come down and making contact with Hollinger, resulting in Ligori’s Rudolph owned machine facing the wrong direction. From my vantage point it looked like good ole hard racing and incidental contact. Both would restart from the rear of the field. The restart would be the last flag shown until the checkers.

Bettis had a good restart with Dude Teate in tow and Dylan Reynolds behind Dude. In two laps Bettis had begun to pull away and kept on going. Colton’s driving style, very smooth, easy on the tires, and maintaining race pace at the same time, resulted in him checking out! In the end he finished only a few seconds behind second and third place. Colton Bettis Racing didn’t just win Saturday, they made a statement. Their goal going into the season was to win the season championship, and the 2023 rookie of the year started just the way they wanted to.

After the race, Colton was quick to praise his car chief, Tra Pissot. Tra always gives Colton the car to have an opportunity to fight for wins. He also thanked his family and grandpa Tony Carreno for making his career possible. I also asked him about the American Racers as I was curios how the behaved compared to how the super late model drivers speak of them. Colton’s answer was basically the same. He stated that the fall of was similar the Hoosier, however, once the tire plateaued, they stayed consistent and fast. John Lepine commented that the tire wore very well, noting the great shape they were in after a heat and feature, that they still would be a great set for practice. The only question now is how they will be after the heat cycles. My guess is they’ll be like the tires for the supers and practice well.

There will of course be ups and downs through the course of the season, but with this team, it would be smart money to bet on this team to be there, fighting for the title at the end of the year.
