Bandoleros

Citrus County Speedway fans filed the stands for 6 divisions of racing on Saturday night. By the end of the night, many probably left the speedway wondering what had happened in many of the races. An usual night of carnage and destruction plagued a few of the classes, and left the fans on the edge of their seats.
17 Super Late Models were brought to the green flag with Todd Brown (23) and Randy Anderson (4) on the front row for their 35 lap feature. Anderson would jump out to the early lead from his outside front row starting position before a lap 2 caution would slow the field. Anderson would lead on the restart with Brown in 2nd, and Jim Smith (3) in 3rd. (more…)
The day started off with all drivers and crews having to roll through tech with all their safety gear, it was a long hot process but something the PGS owner strongly believes in. Mostly all the PGS backbone classes were in compliance with the safety regulations since they have been through safety inspections before at PGS. It wasn’t the same for some of the drivers from the super late model s, which is a visiting class, that learned some of their safety equipment should be updated.
There were plenty of things going on around the track in honor of Tyler Morr, every driver was given a ribbon to wear with Tyler’s name on it that was made by Linda Deeble. (more…)
Five divisions were on hand tonight as the Late Models, Gagel’s Open Wheel Modifieds, Outlaw Four’s, Motorstats.com 4 Cylinder Bombers and the Old Time Mods were on hand. It was also a night that hearts were heavy as the passing of young Tyler Morr last week doing what he wanted to do. A moment of silence and the flag was flown at half-mast in his honor.
First feature of the night went to the Old Time Mods. Richard Svenson and Lars Amundsen won their heat races. When the green flag waved for the feature event, Jamie Frankland quickly made his way to the top spot and never looked back as he picked up his first win. Roger Herbach finished second with Gary Riccio, Bob Fink and Amundsen rounding out the top five. (more…)

The RaceCar Engineering Late Models ended the first of 3 Points Sessions as did the Buddy’s Home Furnishings Limited Late Models and 1-800-ASK GARY Thunderstocks. The Rent-N-Roll Gladiators also battled but with no points on the line.
Limited Late Models started it off with a fantastic 16-lapper. On the start, however, Forrest Gough crossed it up and made contact with Kevin Mills. Both continued on but Tony Ponder, Ricky Land, and the McGillivrays found themselves tangled in turn 2. David Showers, Jr. led early but Adam Higginbotham took it at the line on lap 2. Just 3 laps later JO Nobles stole it seconds before Howard Osteen’s #80 broke and brought the yellow back out. On lap 12 as the leaders attempted to maneuver around the lapped car of Cheyanne Cox, Eddie Gainey made contact with her and as they spun David Showers had to take evasive action. (more…)

Bubba Raceway Park has just 1 more week left in the first 3-month points period of the 2012 season and also just 1 more race before the biggest race of the season- the Powell Memorial. The RaceCar Engineering Late Models will battle as will the Buddy’s Home Furnishings Limited Late Models and the Rent-N-Roll Gladiators. Of course, the hottest race, or races, will be the 2, yes, 2 features for the 1-800-ASK GARY Thunderstocks.
Ivedent Lloyd, Jr. may as well be the Dean because he nearly owns Bubba Raceway Park. He’s won from the front, mid-pack, and the final spot. Lloyd owns a 58 point lead over Mark Whitener meaning he could use the 25-lapper as a test and still keep the points lead with a start in the feature. Whitener is still seeking that elusive Powell Memorial victory so that begs the question- will the Big Frog Motorsports crew be testing for the June Spectacle or are points the way to go? (more…)
