Thunderstorm Washes Out Inaugural World of Outlaws Late Model Series Event At Selinsgrove Speedway

SELINSGROVE, PA – Aug. 26, 2012 – Late-afternoon thunderstorms drenched Selinsgrove Speedway on Sunday, forcing the cancelation of the historic central Pennsylvania track’s highly anticipated World of Outlaws Late Model Series event.

Forty-two cars were unloaded in the pit area and ready for action when the skies darkened and ultimately unloaded on the sprawling half-mile oval, prompting Selinsgrove promoter Charlie Paige to call off the evening’s Jeff’s Auto Body & Recycling 50.

With no suitable date available on the WoO LMS schedule for a return to Selinsgrove this season, Paige and WoO LMS officials will look to the 2013 season to present the national tour’s first-ever race at the speedway. (more…)

Buescher Keeps Points Lead with Madison Win, His Fourth of 2012

(MADISON, Wis.) – ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards points leader Chris Buescher withstood a series of challenges from Frank Kimmel and Alex Bowman – and eight extra laps of racing – to take a series-leading fourth win in 2012 at Madison International Speedway.

Buescher (No. 17 Roulo Brothers Racing Ford) led 110 of 208 laps, including the final 34, to win the Herr’s Live Life with Flavor 200 and become the 40th driver in ARCA history with nine or more wins. He had to come back from 13th place early in the race after contact on Lap 31 sent him spinning out of the top five. He had started seventh.

The 19-year-old extended his points lead over Kimmel from 15 to 60. Kimmel took the lead from Buescher on Lap 173 but slipped up two laps later to give back the advantage. From there, Buescher survived challenges on three restarts and won by 0.7 second over Bowman, a reversal of the top two positions from the 2011 race at the half-mile oval. (more…)

Swindell Captures Castrol Raceway’s Sixth annual Oil City Cup

Hafertepe Jr. unhappy with late-race pass that nets Swindell his 10th Outlaws win

EDMONTON, Alberta – Aug. 25, 2012 – Sam Hafertepe Jr. won’t be inviting Sammy Swindell over for a barbecue any time soon.

The duo nearly touched racing for the lead with two laps remaining on a brisk Saturday evening at Castrol Raceway, where Swindell edged Hafertepe Jr. to claim Night 2 of the Sixth annual Oil City Cup and his 10^th World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series feature win of the season.

“I definitely had the better car,” Hafertepe Jr said. “He had to pretty much drive through us to pass us. That’s part of it sometimes. We’ll do the same thing when the option comes around (to) my turn.”

Hafertepe Jr., who seized the lead from World of Outlaws championship points leader Craig Dollansky in thick traffic on lap six, had the dominant car until a caution with four laps remaining. It erased a half a straightaway lead and gave Swindell a renewed shot at the victory.

While Hafertepe Jr.’s car became tight running the cushion, Swindell powered around the bottom within striking distance for two laps after the restart. Then, opportunity arose as Hafertepe Jr. had a slight bobble in turn two. (more…)

By- Jim Rouse, BRP Media – 8-25-12 (Ocala, FL) The Wiener Nationals came to Bubba Raceway Park for the first time in it’s 5-year history and “The Longdogs” put on a great charitable show. RaceCar Engineering Late Models, Scorpion Racing Products Modifieds, Hobby Stocks, 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks, and Rent-N-Roll Gladiators also put on a wonderful night of racing.

Wiener Nationals were very exciting but no one could catch Wilhelm “Willie” Linebarier as he took title #4 with ease over a strong group of dogs including 2^nd place Gator from the Sullivan Racing group and the 3^rd placed Hammond Motorsports’ non-breed winner Lexi.

Scorpion Racing Products Modifieds started with Jeff Mathews leading a 1-2 for Mathews Motorsports. We’d go 3 laps before Bubba Christian spun on the backstretch. Dalton Lanich and Garret Stewart made contact on the restart which left Lanich very slow (though he would continue on) and stacked up Jim Passino, Gary Sexton, Wayne Hammond, Bubba Christian, and Chuck Gustafson, Jr. Mathews Motorsports led with Mathews leading Lloyd and Kyle Bronson sat in 3^rd.
