Everyone here at Karnac.com and Real Racin’ USA would like to pass along our deepest condolences to the Wheldon family during this most difficult time. While we are all saddened by this tragedy, we need to remember how much Dan achieved during his time here with us. He adopted St. Petersburg as his new home and we were proud to welcome the two time Indy 500 winner to our area. Dan was involved with many charities, a spokesman for the National Guard and raised money for Alzheimer’s research. He was a funny, smart and charismatic young man, and a loving husband and father to two children. Dan will be missed by everyone in the racing community.

A Championship Performance

If any fan, driver, or car owner needed a reminder of why Herb Neumann Jr. is a 4 time Super Late Model Champion, he left no doubt in their minds after Saturday night. Neumann headed into Saturday nights season finale for the Super Late Model points season, with a 30 point lead over 2^nd place Scott Grossenbacher. Neumann would only need to finish 16^th or better to secure his 5^th championship, but a lap 4 multi-car wreck, would send his racer to the pits and endanger that opportunity.

Another strong field of 22 Super Late Models turned out to take a shot at victory in the last points paying race of the season. After the fan voted 6 row inversion, Richie Smith (4) and Keith Zavrel (47) would lead the field to green. Smith would jump to the lead from his pole position, and set the pace early. (more…)
