TULARE, Calif. – March 16, 2013 – There were some fist pumps and a couple of shouts; high fives and loud smiles. But the significant moment was a likely long, long exhale.
Ok, it’s not like Craig Dollansky was a team on the bubble for the NCAA tournament. But his World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series feature victory on Saturday at Thunderbowl Raceway was much needed in the tireless effort toward momentum.
Coming off arguably his most successful racing season, Dollansky struggled in the first seven races of this season. He entered Saturday ninth in the championship points standings, hadn’t led a feature lap and had only three top 10s and no top fives this season.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Graves Yamaha rider Cameron Beaubier delivered a dominating performance on Saturday at Daytona International Speedway leading 50 of the 57 laps to win the 72nd Daytona 200 AMA Pro GoPro Daytona SportBike race.
Beaubier of Roseville, Calif., started on the pole and had two flawless pit stops to claim a 22.254-second margin of victory in America’s most historic motorcycle race. (more…)
Things did not go well one week ago for Eddie Moss Jr.#8 at North Florida Speedway for the FMSA opening season race as he flipped out of the feature early and tore up his racer pretty severely.
He spent most of the week putting it back together and it paid off in dividends as he convincily won the fea…ture event at the Hendry County Motorsports Park in Clewiston , Florida last night [March 16th].

March 16, 2013 – Tampa, FL – It was the first night for the Late Models and the V8 Warriors as the Street Stocks, Gagel’s Open Wheel Modifieds and the Motorstats.com 4 Cylinder Bombers returned for the second week in a row.
First feature of the night went to the Street Stocks. Winning heat races early on were Matthew Grissom and Jarod Gay. For the feature event it was Dennis Wilson, Jr and Matthew Grissom on the front row. On the green flag, Wilson, Jr. led the first lap until Thomas Burnside spun in turn two bringing out the first caution of the night. Four more cautions came out until on lap eight when several cars got tangled up on the backstretch with William Burnside getting the worst end of it as his left front dug into the track sending his car airborne and flipping bringing out the red. Burnside was ok but the car was not. After the green was waved again, Jarod Gay got into the back of the leader Wilson, Jr. spinning him out. Gay was charged with the spin putting him to the rear and Wilson, Jr back up front. Charging up from the fourth position was Dennis Williams. With just a few laps left, Williams passed Wilson, Jr. and crossed the finish line first. But after tech, Williams was dq’d for the wrong tires. Dennis Wilson, Jr. was deemed the winner with Jarod Gay coming back up from the back to finish second. Buck Woodhouse, Roy Woodhouse and Roberto Morfin, Sr. rounded out the top five.

While coming as no surprise, Audi re-wrote the history books Saturday with a dominant victory in the 61st Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring.
The German manufacturer took its pair of R18 e-tron quattros, making their U.S. race debuts, to a convincing 1-2 sweep in the final outing for P1 cars in America’s oldest endurance race.
But the story of the around-the-clock endurance classic, which opened the 15th and final season of the American Le Mans Series, came with late-race battles in three other categories, which saw class wins for Corvette Racing (GT), PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports (PC) and Alex Job Racing (GTC). Level 5 Motorsports, meanwhile, claimed the win in P2.
Jim Rouse, Ocala, FL- The Crate Late Models opened their season up with a non-points race for the NeSmith Weekly Series while the E-Mods, Hobby Stocks, and Rent-N-Roll Gladiators all put points and glory on the line in the second week of racing at Bubba Raceway Park.
Hobby Stock action was the opener and it started with Hunter Gustafson jumping to the lead from outside pole. Devin Walker and Donnie Ashford found themselves chasing the 15-year old driver until a lap 10 caution for James Erickson. Erickson took a wild ride as his car smacked the wall and the contact flipped his #16 right over after heavy contact with the fence. Erickson, who was 3rd at the time, got out under his own power and his only complaint was that he wrecked a beautiful racecar. The final 10 went caution-free but not drama-free as Walker, who’s feathers had been ruffled already by Gustafson, made a move that was seen differently by everyone. Regardless, Gustafson held Walker off and took home his first ever feature win and the whole family took the trip to Coors Light Winner’s Circle. (more…)
