Columbia Motorsports Park Has Been Rained Out for August 7
Sorry, Mother Nature took the checkered flag for all events on Saturday, August 7, at Columbia Motorsports Park. Join us next Saturday for another great night of racing action at Columbia.
Volusia Speedway Park Rained out August 7th
Wieners Are No Match For Nature At Volusia
by VSP Media BARBERVILLE, FL- Although everyone connected with Volusia Speedway Park was wishing hard for good weather for Saturday night, nature failed to pay attention and peppered the area with multiple showers and thunderstorms throughout the day. And after the speedway was hit with the second round of rain at about 3PM in the afternoon, race officials decided that to attempt to race was only asking for trouble. There were too many storms on radar with high potential of hitting the track, and the surface was already on the verge of being too wet to salvage anyway.

And after the speedway was hit with the second round of rain at about 3PM in the afternoon, race officials decided that to attempt to race was only asking for trouble. There were too many storms on radar with high potential of hitting the track, and the surface was already on the verge of being too wet to salvage anyway.
So with the postponement of racing announced, VSP management immediately began working on schedule changes in order to make up at least some of the rained out events. No decision has been announced for making up the 3rd Annual Wiener Nationals dog races, but the $1000 to win Taylor Racing Products Sportsman race will be made up on September 18th. That night will feature the $1000 to win race, plus the Top Gun Sprint Car Series, and Volusia’s own Budweiser Modifieds and Daytona Sportswear Street Stocks.
According to VSP management, more adaptations to the previously posted racing schedule will be made as circumstances warrant, so racers and fans should be sure to double check the schedule posted at www.VolusiaSpeedwayPark.net for changes as those become finalized. VSP Media will also announce changes to the racing schedule on an “as needed” basis.
Volusia Speedway Park will be back in action on Saturday, August 14th with “Back To School Night” and five divisions of exciting racing competition. Fans will see the Daytona Dodge Chrysler Jeep Late Models, the Budweiser Modifieds, the Taylor Racing Products Sportsman Division, the Amsoil Thunder Stocks, plus the 4 Cylinder Challengers.

Briggs, Fontaine, Feaster, and Whitener, Win at Ocala
by BJ Cavin- Ocala Speedway Media
OCALA, FL- For the second Friday in a row, Ocala Speedway was threatened by heavy weather that passed within a mile of the facility, and early arrivals to the pits and grandstands got a refreshing spritz from the passing showers. But as was the case a week ago, nature failed to suitably moisten the clay so the water truck had to finish the job before racing could get underway, with exciting racing from Ocala’s Mini Stocks, Amsoil V8 Thunder Stocks, Late Models, and the Gladiators.

Ocala’s Mini Stock Division got first dibs on feature races Friday night, with Jimbo Bird leading the field to the green flag. Bird held the lead for about 10 feet before Johnny Zackery took over, but Zackery’s car had begun smoking during earlier heat racing, and that problem returned with a vengeance in the first laps of the feature. And as Zackery got the black flag for unnecessary mosquito fogging, Keith Briggs assumed the lead and never looked back. If he had checked over his shoulder he might have seen Paul Combast giving chase, but all Briggs was focused on was the lap count and the checkered flags.

DAVE COLPRITT SNARES SPORTSMAN WIN – GERALD WHITE, JR. ALL THE WAY IN LEGENDS AT AUBURNDALE SPEEDWAY
by Dave Westerman
Auburndale Speedway’s “Family Fun Night” played to a full house with plenty of great racing on a warm, muggy evening. There was plenty of lightning off in the distance, but the rains stayed away once again.
Matt McCrary came into the evening with a small point lead in the Street Stock class and looked like he was going to increase his advantage by quite a bit as he won the heat race and had the pole for the feature looking for his first main event win since moving up from the Scramblers.
McCrary wasted little time in taking the lead as Dave Colpritt settled into second spot. Meanwhile the second place driver in points, Jeff Waterman, was having a tough evening battling a very sour engine. After some early race problems and a couple of yellow flags, McCrary asserted himself out front with Colpritt a few car lengths back. With just three laps to go, Colpritt began to close in.
Then, on lap 18, McCrary slammed into the back stretch wall ending his evening with victory in sight. Colpritt, who celebrated a birthday on Friday, got a late present as he sped to his fifth win of the year and picked up valuable points on the two drivers ahead of him as it now seems the 2010 point battle will come down to the wire between McCrary, Waterman and Colpritt.
Larry Braswell returned after a few weeks off to claim the runner-up position while Austin Jenkins drove a steady race for third. Bobby Mobley and Kyle Peters came from deep in the field to take fourth and fifth while Jerrell Cook, Waterman, Jamie Castleberry, Ken Lawrence and McCrary rounded out the top ten.
For the second straight week, the 25 lap Legend Car feature ran green to checker without a caution flag and saw Gerald White, Jr. again lead every lap to claim yet another win and add to his ever-increasing point lead. Jake Perkins finished a distant second trailed by Tyler Smith, Devin McLeod and Zach Napoleon. Completing the top ten were Donovan Ponder, Justin Brown, Mason Ketterman, Seth Adams and Lynn Wiles. White and Smith were the heat race winners.
Jeff Lacey won the V-8 Bomber heat and then took off like a rocket in the feature before something broke on his car and he hit the turn three wall on lap four. Larry Chumney II took over at that point but once again it would be Preston Davis putting on a show for the fans as he used the outside lane once again to pass Chumney on lap 17 before scoring his third win of the year. Chumney held on for second followed by James Wright, Jr., Justin Meyer and Michael Smith.
Kimberly Gullett’s run for the Scrambler point championship took a big hit Saturday night. After winning the feature race by a wide margin, Gullett’s car was set down in tech for an unapproved shock absorber spacer. That meant what would have been her second win was taken away and she was awarded no points on the evening.
Scotty Sharpe, the Modified Mini Stock point leader who was driving for Ted Tidwell, crossed the stripe in second but was ultimately awarded his first Scrambler feature race win of the year. Jerry Pruitt took a career best second while Richie Acres came back from an early incident to claim third over Bryan Tyre and Jeremy Watts. Acres won the heat.
Robbie Powell led from start to finish in the Figure 8 race but it wasn’t as easy as it sounds. Wayne Calkins passed Powell on several occasions but never could make a full pass and eventually settled for second after several very close calls with backmarkers during the latter stages of the event. Third place went to Terry Zimmerman ahead of J.R. Meyer and Wayne Whitehead.
Teddy Lively continued his mastery of the Bandoleros taking the lead from Cameron White and zipping to another easy victory. Andy Metz was second followed by White, Daniel Conlin, Jr. and Jake Hunter.
Dakota Hunt won her first career race in the Kids Club topping Heather Guy and Brandon Guy. Eugene Malverty topped the Demolition Derby. Malverty and Billy Dennis’ cars locked bumpers and track officials decided to separate the two cars and let them go at it for the win. However Dennis’ car would not re-fire giving Malverty the victory.
Several cars showed for the Enduro race however, after pre-race tech, only two were found to comply with the “stock” rules. Management decided to cancel the race and allow some of the other cars to compete in the other divisions. The drivers with the two legal cars, Michael Teschner and Kyle Alford were each given $250 for their efforts.
This week, August 7th, the Open Wheel Modifieds are back in action along with the Street Stocks, Mini Stocks, Modified Mini Stocks, V-8 bombers and Scramblers. Racing starts at 7 PM. For more information call 863-551-1131 or log on to www.auburndaleracing.com.

Dude Teate Leads the Way to Victory Lane at New Smyrna Speedway
by Marty Little
NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. – Multi time TBARA champion Dude Teate rebounded from a nasty heat race accident and won Saturday night’s 30 lap BioBased.US TBARA sprint car event at New Smyrna Speedway.
Dakotah Stephens and Bryan Riddle brought the 16 car field to the green flag but it was third starting Troy DeCaire who quickly jumped into the lead and set the pace around the half-mile oval. Meanwhile back in 12th spot Teate was taking things easy after lengthy repairs following impact with the wall in a heat race incident.
DeCaire, who has been racing in the Midwest this summer, began to stretch his margin but Teate’s car was somewhat comfortable and he began to work his way through the field.
A yellow flag on lap 11 for a broken shock on Bryan Riddle’s mount regrouped everyone and put Teate within striking distance of leader DeCaire. The green waved one lap later and the battle was on. Teate’s hastily repaired mount was up to the task as he ran down DeCaire’s purple racer and took the lead on lap 14. Once in front Teate never looked back and stretched out his margin over DeCaire to register his first victory of the season.
DeCaire never gave up and finished second ahead of pole sitter Stephens, Mickey Kempgens and Sonny Hartley. Heat race winners were Larry J. Brazil and DeCaire.
The TBARA ground pounders next head to the Gulf Coast for a doubleheader at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola and Mobile International Speedway in Irvington, Ala. on August 27 and 28.
Feature finish (30 laps) – 1. Dude Teate, 2. Troy DeCaire, 3. Dakotah Stephens, 4. Mickey Kempgens, 5. Sonny Hartley, 6. Bo Hartley, 7. Johnny Gilbertson, 8. Larry J. Brazil, 9. Ben Fritz, 10.Bobby Rose, 11.Dan Statter, 12. Shane Butler, 13. Bryan Riddle, 14. Larry Brazil, 15. Frankie Hurst, 16. Skeeter Faulconer.
Wayne Anderson Tops Big Field of Lates at Punta Gorda Speedway
By Bill Green
Wildwood’s Wayne Anderson was in the right place at the right time and got by Dave Pletcher with just 35 laps left in it and then watched as the rear sway bar broke on the #51 of Richie Anderson during lap 110. Wayne Anderson pounced on the opportunity and took home the win. This was a classic Super Late Model duel as the veterans waited patiently for the laps to click off and then begin their assault on the top spot. Two young drivers, Brian Blum & Patrick Staropoli learned a lot in this one as they sat in the 4 & 5th spots for most of the lap, learning when to go from a few of the masters on the asphalt in front of them.
Pletcher settled for second, but “Big Daddy”, as he was known at Sunshine Speedway, was old school smart tonight. Showing a good set-up and qualifying position, followed by a level head and patience keeps you in contention for the wins that you’ll fight for in the end. (more…)
