After taking a wire-to-wire victory in Saturday night’s 25-lap Sunoco Racing Fuels Pro Late Model feature at Desoto Speedway, Chad Chastain was looking to sweep the night’s main events with a victory in the 50-lap Q Auto & Injury Attorney Pro Truck feature.
Chastain came within three laps of pulling off the double, but it was a dramatic pass by defending track champion Danny Anderson of Bradenton with three laps to go that spoiled Chastain’s party and saw Anderson parking in Desoto’s winner’s circle for the second time this season.

Bronson Speedway 4/11

bronsonBronson Speedway fans were treated to an exciting evening of intense, side by side, paint swapping, heart pounding “thats what we call racing” events this past Saturday night. If you were not there you definitely missed a night of come backs…
Kevin Durden returned to the high banks of Bronson Speedway in the “Pork Chop Wilson” owned # 56. Durden’s car looked hot just rolling out of the trailer and when it took to the track, the stop watch doesn’t lie…Lightning fast…. however in the tweaking of the set up process, disaster struck…Engine issues would side line the well know Durden and his come back to Bronson Speedway would be delayed.

Passenger killed in Lamborghini crash at Disney racetrack ‘driving experience’

EDEatWDWS_one_color_whiteback-640x197(CNN)A Lamborghini sports car crashed into a guardrail at Walt Disney World Speedway on Sunday, killing a passenger, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

The crash occurred at 3:30 p.m. at the Exotic Driving Experience, which bills itself as a chance to drive your dream car on a racetrack.

A male 36-year-old passenger was pronounced dead at the scene. The car’s driver, a man who lost control of the vehicle, was transported to the hospital with minor injuries, Florida Highway Patrol spokeswoman Sgt. Kim Montes said.

Petty Holdings, which operates the Exotic Driving Experience at Walt Disney World Speedway, released a statement Sunday night about the crash.

“On behalf of everyone in the organization, it is with a very heavy heart that we extend our deepest sympathies to those involved in today’s tragic accident in Orlando,” the company said.

Petty Holdings also operates the Richard Petty Driving Experience — a chance to drive or ride in NASCAR race cars named for the winningest driver in the sport’s history.
