Russell Brown Jr of Valdosta, GA., set fast time in Whiter Performance qualifying with a time of 16.524 seconds and at the drop of the green flag Brown jumped into the lead over long time South Georgia veteran Cecil Eunice of Blackshear, GA., who was back in a super late model for the first time in many years.  Brown pulled ahead over the rest of the field and looked to be the man to beat, but Brown was caught in lapped traffic by Eunice and the two made contact with Brown spinning.

Jimmy Owens Earns First Win of the Season at LaSalle Speedway

Jimmy OwensLa Salle, IL (May 17, 2014) – The 3-time and defending Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion, Jimmy Owens scored his first series win of the season on Saturday Night at LaSalle Speedway. Owens survived a classic side-by-side battle with Jared Landers after over taking Scott Bloomquist for second. Owens then tracked down race leader Landers and forged ahead for good on lap 37. Owens then pulled away to a comfortable lead to take the Spring Shootout victory. Trailing Owens and Landers to the finish line were, Scott Bloomquist, Earl Pearson Jr., and Don O'Neal

"I can't say enough about this car. The last few races, we've been solid, and tonight we were finally able to get to victory lane. I want to thank the track crew, it's good to see a track promoter take the time and rework the track. With all the rain they had this week, they smoothed it out and you could run anywhere on it," said Owens, who became the 12th different winner in 15 event races this year.

"Landers was tough tonight. He drove a very good race, and we ran side-by-side there for several laps. I hope it was a good show for the fans tonight. We got off to a rough start in the feature, but we were able to settle down. Scott [Bloomquist] and I had a really good battle for second. He'd get by me, then the next lap I'd get him back. It was just a great night for our Mike Reece team and all of our sponsors. We feel like we are hitting our stride now," said the winner afterwards.

Lee Faulk Racing Partners with Beak Built Chassis to Expand Development

Beakbuilt LogoDenver, NC (5/6/14) – Lee Faulk Racing and Beak Built Chassis have formed a partnership making them the first cross genre driver development program. The newly formed alliance will enable LFR to offer both asphalt and dirt development programs.

NASCAR Cup Series driver and Beak Built owner David Reutimann will run the dirt development program while the asphalt program will continue to operate as it has been for the past 8 years. 

The Beak Built program will field dirt modified cars at various tracks on the east coast of the United States and qualified drivers will be under the guidance of Reutimann as they learn car control on a level that cannot be attained on asphalt alone. Having the option to get seat time on dirt is invaluable to young drivers with aspirations of becoming a star in the upper ranks of NASCAR.  Now there is a program that allows young talent to make a seamless transition from dirt to asphalt while staying within the same organization.

“We are very happy to join forces with David and Beak Built. He has been very successful in a short amount of time in building his business. Our families have been close for many years and there’s nobody else that I would make this commitment with. It is becoming more important for young drivers to have experience on both dirt and asphalt while climbing the ladder to NASCAR.  For some, it gives them the edge they need and we are proud to be the first to offer it on this level.” Faulk said.

SCOTTY ADEMA HOLDS ON FOR TBARA SPRINT CAR HONORS AT NEW SMYRNA SPEEDWAY

Scotty Adema won the TBARA feature Saturday night (Photo courtesy FloridaSprintCarFans.com)The Tampa Bay Area Racing Association Sprint Cars made their first appearance of the year Saturday night with Scotty Adema of Ft. Myers holding off a hard-charging Sport Allen to take the victory at what he describes as his


favorite race track.  Twenty-one Sprint Car teams made the tow to the high-banked half mile with 19 cars still around for a trio of heat races after both Matt Alfonso and Mickey Kempgens had trouble during hot laps and parked their machines for the night.  Heat race victories would go to Ben Fritz, Dude Teate, and Brian Gingras setting the stage for the 30-lap nightcap.  One driver who had a rough go was "Flyin" Ryan Partin who had the brakes fail on his mount going into turn three during the second heat race.  Partin hit the outer wall virtually head on, then, with no way of stopping the car, slid back down the track and crashed hard into the inside railing.  Even though the car was shortened up a good two feet, Partin climbed out unharmed.  Partin was racing a second Sprinter for eventual feature winner Adema who got to experience both the highs and lows of being a race car owner on this night.  Dave Retzlaf and Larry J. Brazil, Jr. brought the field down for the start of the feature with Retzlaf leading the opening lap.  Adema, who started sixth, was on a roll right from the get-go and took the lead during the second lap bringing Fritz with him by Retzlaf.

JR Garcia Dominates Pro Truck Race at Bronson Speedway

RobertKorsonBronson Speedway, May 10, 2014: Bronson Speedway’s track announcer said it best, “race fans, get ready to see the state’s best Pro Truck drivers…” OK, so not all were there, but four of the state’s best Pro Truck drivers in JR Garcia, Mica Williams, Jessica Murphy and Steven King where there to show their support for the Series and Bronson’s local oval race track.  The Pro Truck Series considers Bronson’s three-eighths-mile, high-bank asphalt oval track to be a hidden gem, and it is apparent that this small town race track is making every effort to support their drivers and traveling series.  Many of Saturday night’s drivers share the same opinion in that the track is fun to race on and more drivers should make the trip to show their support.  Although the Pro Truck count was less than expected, the track and Series still delivered on the guaranteed payout while giving the teams a break on the number of race laps.
