Great Action From Bubba Raceway Park As October Hits Full Throttle

Jim Rouse, Ocala, FL- The Bubba Army Late Models, Scorpion Racing Products UMP DirtCar Modifieds, Hobby Stocks, 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks, and Rent-N-Roll Gladiators all put on great racing as October opens up.

Rich Pratt opened up the Scorpion Racing Products UMP DirtCar Modifieds with the lead but Kyle Bronson had snatched it away by the end of lap four. Jim Passino would bring the caution out on lap twelve and leave Bronson to hold off “4-Time” Jeff Mathews and “The Kansas Kid” Paul Snyder in his brand new GRT by Fitzgerald with eight to go. Rick Scott spun and left the field bunched up with three to go. It wouldn’t effect the order up front as Bronson held off Mathews and Snyder. Hunter Gustafson would improve to fourth and Rich Pratt rounded out the top five. (more…)

Danny Johnson Captures DIRTcar ‘Hurricane 100’ at Brewerton Speedway

Packed House Watches Veteran Star Earn $10,000 Top Prize For Spectacular Drive

101013_BrewertonVL BREWERTON, NY – Oct. 10, 2013 – Danny Johnson turned a moribund night into an unforgettable evening on Thursday at Brewerton Speedway.

Recovering from a poor qualifying effort that had him pining to leave the one-third-mile oval, Johnson charged forward from the 26^th starting spot to capture the DIRTcar 358-Modified SUNY-Canton ‘Hurricane 100.’

Johnson, 53, of Phelps, N.Y., pocketed $10,000 for his convincing march to victory, which he clinched by passing Matt Sheppard of Waterloo, N.Y., for the lead on lap 79. The DIRTcar Northeast superstar cruised away from the pack over the remaining distance to top a wildly competitive race that featured six changes among five drivers and a battle for second place that wasn’t decided until the checkered flag.

Pat Ward of Genoa, N.Y., finished in that runner-up spot, nipping Sheppard by a couple car lengths at the finish line after his late-race charge saw him overtake Sheppard at the white flag. Sheppard, who led la 60 and 66-78, settled for third place, falling short of repeating his triumph in the previous night’s DIRTcar 358-Modified Series 75-lapper at Weedsport (N.Y.) Speedway. (more…)

History to be Made this Weekend at Magnolia Motor Speedway

headerimage2 Columbus, Mississippi (10/08/13) This weekend, October 10th-12th, racers and race fans, who attend Magnolia Motor Speedway (Columbus, Mississippi) will be a part of history as two great races from the state of Mississippi come together for one mega event with the inaugural Magnolia State Cotton Pickin’ 100.

For over twenty years the Magnolia State 100 hosted some of the most exciting racing of the year in Mississippi. After a few years away, event founder, Dewitt Singleton has brought the race back as a combined effort with Johnny Stokes’ annual Cotton Pickin’ 100.

“For various reasons we didn’t have the Magnolia State 100 last year, but I really like what Johnny is doing at Magnolia Motor Speedway, and I thought it would be a great idea to try and combine both races,” notes Singleton. “There are so many late-season races in this region that it just didn’t make sense to hold the Magnolia State 100 separately from the Cotton Pickin.”

For Johnny Stokes the combined effort is a no brainer.

“It takes a lot of work and time to make these big races happen, and it makes life a little easier having Dewitt and his crew working along with myself and my great crew here at Magnolia Motor Speedway,” comments Stokes. “Plus we’ve actually been able to increase the purse this year, while bringing the Magnolia State 100 name back into the fold. There’s a lot of excitement among racers and fans for this reinvigorated event.” (more…)

October Begins With A Bang At Bubba Raceway Park

10122013 Ocala, FL- The Bubba Army Late Models, Scorpion Racing Products UMP DirtCar Modifieds, Hobby Stocks, 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks, and Rent-N-Roll Gladiators will all take to the track with championships wrapping up quickly.

The Bubba Army Late Models are back for the first time in two months after the rain destroyed the month of August and Rich Pratt still has the #0 at the point. Eleven year old Tyler Clem sits 66 back in second place, an incredible feat for the Late Model rookie. Defending division champion Mark Whitener is now 100 markers back, and Bryan Bernhardt is a further 21 behind him. Jeff Mathews rounds out the top five. Pratt very well could win the title without a race victory, but he doesn’t want to do that. Can you name the last driver to win a title (in any division) at Bubba Raceway Park without a feature victory that year?

Jeff Mathews put his foot down (figuratively and literally) and now has a 19 point lead over Charlie O’Neill in the Scorpion Racing Products Modifieds championship. In fact, O’Neill is the only driver to make every feature, making Mathews feat more impressive. Scott Kurtzner sits only 38 markers behind Mathews, Rich Pratt is a further 12 behind Kurtzner, and Bryan Bernhardt is just two behind Pratt! The title is far from over and it can only get better as October begins to close. (more…)

Chris Madden Takes First Career Lucas Oil Dixie Shootout Victory

Madden WOODSTOCK, GA (October 5, 2013) – After coming close a year ago to winning his first Lucas Oil Dixie Shootout, Chris Madden sealed the deal tonight to take home the $10,000 pay day in the Southeast’s most prestigious event. Madden led all 50 laps for his second Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series triumph of 2013.

Billy Ogle, Jr. charged from the 11th starting position to take second. RED BUCK Fast Qualifier and pole sitter Randy Weaver came home in third. Six-time Shootout winner, Scott Bloomquist was fourth. Defending race winner, Jimmy Owens finished fifth.

“After what happened to us last year, leading until the last lap and not winning, this feels great,” said the 38-year-old veteran driver. “The car was so good all night. I told Scott (Bloomquist) I didn’t know what to do to the car for the feature. It was very easy to drive, and that’s a scary feeling going into the feature, because you want to change something. But you don’t want to mess up anything.” (more…)

Photo Courtesy: Mike Horne www.gofastphotos.zenfolio.com

October 5, 2013 – Tampa, FL – Double Features would be held for the Late Models as Mother Nature put an end to last week’s feature. Also racing was the East Bay Sprints, Q Auto & Injury Attorneys Street Stocks, V8 Warriors and the Motorstats.com 4 Cylinder Bombers.

First feature of the night was the make-up feature from last week. Kyle Musselman and Josh Peacock would make up the front row. When the green waved it was Peacock leading the way until a few cautions would come out. One caution was for Kyle Musselman as he spun in turn four bunching up the field for a restart. Behind Peacock was Mavrick Varnadore and Jamie Slatton. Caution came out as Kenny Monahan would slow on lap nine. On the restart Peacock now had Steve Miller and David Schmauss trailing him. On lap seventeen it was Jamie Slatton spinning after falling back several spots and in the top five. When the final green waved on lap seventeen crossing the line first was Peacock picking up his third feature of the year. Rounding out the top five were Steve Miller, David Schmauss, Travis Varnadore and Kyle Musselman. (more…)
