Hendersonville, NC (7/30/12) –Sean Rayhall and his team under the guidance of Tom Pistone celebrated for the first time in UARA-STARS Victory Lane following the Racing Electronics 150 event at Caraway Speedway Saturday, July 28th. Rayhall’s win was certainly what the young driver needed as he still physically recuperates from his big legends wreck in June.
Caraway’s former 4-time track Champion Travis Swaim jumped out front early and led the majority of the race, awarding him Tilton’s Most Laps Led Award. After qualifying second, Rayhall floated in the top five for the entire race. When it was coming down to crunch time Swaim got the jump on Rayhall at the restart of the second to last caution. The two were neck-in-neck after the first lap, but once Rayhall got out front it was smooth sailing on his part. (more…)
An odd dilemma was faced at Bubba Raceway Park as the power grid that included Bubba Raceway Park was knocked out meaning the only lights were those of the enclosed trailers, personal street cars, and cellphones. This all happened moments before the first feature was to take place.
Twisted Tea Top Gun Sprint Cars, Hobby Stocks, 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks, and Rent-N-Roll Gladiators will all race next Saturday. RaceCar Engineering Late Models will make their race up, albeit for no championship points. The Scorpion Racing Products Modifieds race will stay while the Demolition Derby, Buddy’s Home Furnishings Limited Late Models, and Barfield Law Group Mini Stocks will all be removed from that race date.

Mooresville, NC 7/26/12– It’s hard to find a race or type of car these days that short track crew chief Gary Crooks, owner of Crooks Racing Inc., would be considered a rookie, but that was exactly the case for Crooks in the 2012 Oxford 250 race at the famed Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine. Gary, in his first Oxford 250 event with the ACT type cars, lead young Austin Theriault to an impressive third place finish in just his second career Oxford 250 start.
The crew chief and driver combo, who also compete at the super late model ranks for NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Brad Keselowski, kicked off the day with a bang winning their qualifying heat race and earning a sixth place starting position in the thirty-nine car starting field. Crooks would then go to work behind the scenes as tire strategy was a major factor come for the 250 lap race going forward. (more…)
