Don O’Neal Wins Whiskey City 50 at Lawrenceburg Speedway

LAWRENCEBURG, IN (August 23, 2014) – Don O’Neal returned to his home-state of Indiana on Saturday Night and won the Whiskey City 50 at Lawrenceburg Speedway. It was O’Neal’s sixth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the season, and is continues to close the gap on current point leader, Jimmy Owens, who came home sixth.

O’Neal grabbed the lead on lap four from his Clint Bowyer Racing teammate, Steve Francis, and charged to his 39th career LOLMDS victory. Francis finished second followed by pole-sitter, Scott Bloomquist. Steve Casebolt drove by Earl Pearson Jr. on the final lap to take fourth, as Pearson Jr. would round out the top five.

“The car was on a rail tonight, no doubt,” said O’Neal. “I have to thank Lance and Barry Wright, Jeremy Justice, and Tony Trent for all of the hard work they do. Clint’s going to be real happy with this one-two finish here tonight.”

“We started fifth and the bottom was working real well there early on. I had a few moments there in traffic, but everybody gave each other plenty of room. It’s good to come back here and win, especially after missing last year’s race. I didn’t know how far Steve (Francis) was behind me, I was just concentrating on the traffic ahead.” (more…)

Steve Dorer Survives Rain Delay; Leads All 100 Laps At Anderson Speedway For First JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Win

10dorervltrophyanderson72614 Anderson, Indiana (Saturday, July 26, 2014): The fast 1/4 (0.250) mile high-banked paved oval of Anderson Speedway (IN) in Anderson, Indiana was the site for the Edgewater Woods 100 Presented by JEGS.com. The JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Presented by Chevrolet Performance highlighted the night as the teams who made the trip to Central Indiana were looking to stop the unprecedented win streak laid out by Trent Snyder. In the three previous races, Snyder had swept all three and was going for an unprecedented fourth in a row in four years of the Tour racing at Anderson.

When all was said and done at the end of the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tours’ 50th all-time event and at the end of 100 laps, Lakeland, Florida veteran, Steve Dorer not only stopped Snyder’s impressive track winning streak at three, but he would also score his first career JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour victory. The pilot of the #10 Racecar Engineering / FLF Racecars / Chevrolet survived a 90 minute rain delay as well as several challenges throughout the course of the race to go the distance in leading all 100 laps for the victory.

“It’s about time. Wow! I can’t believe this. We’ve had so many second and third place runs over the past couple of seasons I was wondering when I’d ever get back here,” The emotional 44-year-old stated in victory lane. “We’ve been coming back home (Coldwater, Michigan) during the summer for a few years now and running when we could as much as we could before going back to Florida in the fall each year. It’s been awhile since we’ve got a win up north. It was here in the Redbud (2011). This feels really good.” He added. (more…)

Owens Takes Third Career Ralph Latham Memorial Win at Florence Speedway

10336832_10152073380357015_1161898192370362335_n UNION, KY (May 31, 2014) – Jimmy Owens led a Club 29 Race Cars sweep of the top two spots Saturday Night at Florence Speedway. Owens took the lead from Duane Chamberlain just past the half-way mark and went on to win his third career Ralph Latham Memorial Race sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series.

Darrell Lanigan, who builds the Club 29 Race Cars out of his shop just a few miles from the race track finished second to Owens followed by Don O'Neal, Scott Bloomquist, and John Blankenship.

"The car was just rolling," said the winner who has now captured three of out the last four LOLMDS events. "I was thankful they went out and re-did the bottom of the race track. Starting seventh, I felt a little bit better at my chances. The fans here always get to see a good show. He (Chamberlain) was running the top and I decided I could run the low line better during the mid-part of the race. Once I got by him, I moved back to the top. Last week we moved to the bottom and it kind of bit us."

Campi dominates Late Model feature at Desoto

SCOTT LOCKWOOD – Not even a rain delay could slow down Sarasota's Anthony Campi on his way to a commanding win in the Turner Tree & Landscape 75-lap Super Late Model feature at Desoto Speedway Saturday night.

Bradenton's Jesse Dutilly started second and passed polesitter T.J. Duke for the lead before the completion of the second lap. Dutilly pulled away early until Anthony Campi passed Duke for second. Campi started running Dutilly down and was within a couple of car lengths of the lead when the caution flew for Brian Richardson's spin on lap 17.

The caution flew again four laps later for a five-car pileup that started with Daniel Webster and David Green got together just past the start/finish line and ended in turn 1.

After what would be the final restart, Campi passed Dutilly on the outside for the lead at the end of the 25th lap. He would go unchallenged the rest of the way, leading the final 50 laps on his way to the win.
