Keyser Manufacturing ‘Down & Dirty 100’ Presented by NAPA Sept. 21-22 At Berlin Raceway
SCOUTING BERLIN: Every entrant in this weekend’s Keyser Manufacturing ‘Down & Dirty 100’ Presented by NAPA Auto Parts at Berlin Raceway will have the same level of knowledge about the track – which is to say, none at all.
Berlin has, of course, operated as a 7/16th-mile asphalt oval since 1966. But the renowned Wolverine State speedway has been covered with more than 300 truckloads of clay for a historic event headlined by the World of Outlaws Late Model Series, setting up a unique situation in which no one starts with an advantage.
The inside track on the $20,000 top prize in the Down & Dirty 100 on Saturday night (Sept. 22) will belong to the driver who most quickly deciphers the tricky layout – and several WoO LMS racers have already visited Berlin Raceway in hopes of learning something, anything, that will enhance their hopes.

Salem, IN (September 19, 2012) – Jay Niewiek, the 2010 and 2011 winner of the Cometic Gasket Hardcharger Season Award, has built his lead back in the 2012 Cometic Gasket Hardcharger standings after ten ARCA/CRA Super Series events so far this season.

(TOLEDO, Ohio) – Recently crowned ARCA Allegiant Gold Cup Series late model champion Dakota Carlson of Cedar Springs, Mich. has filed his entry for the 24th Great Lakes Helicopter Glass City 200 super late model invitational Saturday, September 29 at Toledo Speedway. Carlson tuned up for the 200 by winning the 100-lap feature last Saturday night at Owosso Speedway in Michigan.
Citrus County Speedway fans saw the racing action crank up Saturday night with time trial qualifying for the Florida United Promoters Series late models. 21 of the states top drivers and cars all took the fastest of their two qualifying laps, to help determine their starting position for the 100 lap feature. When all was said and done, it was a familiar face sitting on top of the field. Daniel Webster (33) set the fast time for the 2nd FUPS race at Citrus in a row, followed by Jesse Dutilly (30), and Steve Dorer (10) in 3rd. The top 8 drivers in the series then redraw for their starting positions. With the help of some young speedway fans, Jonathan Guy (42) had his lucky fan pull the pole position. He would have 3rd fastest qualifier and series point leader Steve Dorer alongside for the green flag. Guy would lead the field to green, and win the drag race with Dorer to turn one, but caution would fly for the stalled car of Jake Perkins (59) on the backstretch, before the lap was completed. Perkins had battled ignition problems all day, and an electrical short ended his night before the race even got started.
