Brett Hearn powers to 11th career Eastern States 200 victory

Hard-charging Matt Sheppard finishes 2nd to claim Super DIRTcar Series point lead going into Charlotte

102614_HearnVLDalesandroMIDDLETOWN, N.Y. – October 27, 2014 – Brett “the Jet” Hearn has been making a habit of winning at Orange County Fair Speedway. He picked up his 11 th career Eastern States Big Block Modified victory there Sunday, October 26, his third in a row.

“It takes a lot of people to make this happen,” the Sussex, N.J. said in Victory Lane after Sunday’s 200 lapper. “There’s a lot of hard work, a lot of preparation goes into this thing and you come here on race day and try to put it all together.”

Hearn made a clean sweep during Eastern States Weekend, fast timing Friday with a lap time of 20.763 and winningSaturday’s 358-Modified feature race. He started Sunday’s Super DIRTcar Series event on the pole, with Tim Hindley at the outside pole. At the green flag, Hearn took the lead, but it was Stewart Friesen, of Sprakers, N.Y., who cruised to second over Hindley.

Several cautions early in the race kept the leaders from picking up momentum, but Hearn was strong enough on every restart to maintain his position over Friesen. In lap 60, Bob McGannon went into the wall in turn four to bring the eighth caution of the race, and soon after the pits opened for mandatory pit stops. (more…)

Lanigan Breaks World of Outlaws Late Model Series Single-Season Wins Record With Third Keyser Down & Dirty 65 Victory

Kentucky Driver Remains Perfect in Three Visits to Dirt-Covered Berlin Raceway

091314_BERLIN_VL (1)MARNE, Mich. – Sept. 13, 2014 – Darrell Lanigan of Union, Ky., maintained his perfect record at Berlin Raceway with a $15,000 victory in Saturday’s third annual Keyser Manufacturing Down & Dirty 65 Presented by NAPA A-Main.

With his16th World of Outlaws Late Model Series victory of the season, Lanigan, 44, of Union, Ky., broke his own single-season wins record on the national tour and ensured that the he needs only to enter the season-ending World of Outlaws World Finals Nov. 6-8 at The Dirt Track at Charlotte to clinch his third WoO LMS championship.

“We broke a record and that’s definitely something to be proud of,” said Lanigan, who broke the record he set in his championship-winning season in 2012. “And to be the only winner of this event is definitely special, too.”

Advancing from the fourth starting spot, Lanigan battled back and forth with polesitter Jeep Van Wormer of Pinconning, Mich., for the lead early in the 65-lap race before taking command for good when Van Wormer ran into trouble as the two leaders raced through slower traffic on lap 13.

Slipping too high in turns three and four, Van Wormer tagged the wall and slowed directly in front of Lanigan’s Club 29 Race Car, causing Lanigan to get into the back of Van Wormer’s Rocket Chassis. The contact sent Van Wormer spinning as Lanigan continued running and assumed the lead.

“I have to apologize to Jeep,” Lanigan said of his involvement in the lap-13 accident. “It looked like he got up in the wall and then he kind of came back down. We had a head of steam coming in there and got into him. It wasn’t nothing on purpose.” (more…)

Kraig Kinser a Winner at Clay County Fair Speedway

Becomes the 22nd different winner of the season and scores the 16th World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series win of his career

091214_Clay_County_VLSPENCER, Iowa – Sept. 12, 2014 – With the lights of the Ferris wheel shining in the distance and the sounds of midway games just beyond the grand stand, Kraig Kinser scored his first World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series win of the season at the Clay County Fair Speedway’s Arnold Motor Supply Shootout on Friday night.

Kinser got the break he needed as the Outlaws turned lap 13 at the 3/8 mile track. Brad Sweet, who had led every lap up to that point, was battling a loose racecar and it nearly got the best of him coming off of turn four. Sweet got sideways and dove to the bottom of the track as he fought to save his car.

“I saw him crossed up,” Kinser said. “I was trying to check up, check up because I saw him come across the track. I saw him loose there – I kind of thought he was going to come up and get us.”

Sweet recovered but not before slipping back to fourth place. In the meantime, Kinser, Kerry Madsen and Joey Saldana all got around him.

“I know Brad’s probably feeling pretty bad, but I’ll take it any way I can get it,” Kinser said in victory lane. (more…)

Madsen Wins at Antioch in Closest Outlaws Finish Ever

He scores his sixth World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series win of the season after holding off Kyle Hirst by .005 seconds

090714_Antioch_VLANTIOCH, Calif. – Sept. 7, 2014 – Kerry Madsen scored a win for the record books Sunday night at Antioch Speedway as he held off Kyle Hirst by just .005 seconds, the smallest win margin in World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series history.

Madsen took over the lead on lap seven as the field returned to green following a caution. Madsen, who at the time was running in second behind reigning series champion Daryn Pittman, looked low as Pittman got caught up in the cushion and fell back.

Now leading, Madsen quickly built up a comfortable lead in his American Racing Custom Wheels car. By lap 11 he hit lapped traffic. As he worked his way through, Hirst crept closer.

As Madsen took the white flag, Hirst looked for an opportunity. He found it as the two entered the final turn. With Madsen bottled up by a lapped car, Hirst entered onto the front stretch side-by-side with the Australia native. The two drag raced down to the checkered flag and Madsen claimed the win by just a fraction of a second.

“It felt like I was doing it comfortably and managing traffic pretty well but I just got bottled up there and I guess he got a run,” Madsen said. “I was pretty lucky to get away with that one.” (more…)
