KYLE BOOKMILLER HOLDS OFF FIELD FOR SECOND OWM WIN OF THE YEAR AT AUBURNDALE SPEEDWAY

by Dave Westerman

The warmest weather of the season greeted fans and competitors alike Saturday evening at Auburndale Speedway and the racing was just as hot as well.

The Open Wheel Modifieds returned with seventeen racers in attendance to duke it out for the $1,000 first place prize. Kyle Bookmiller and Big Wayne Morris split the heat race wins and had the front row for the 40 lap feature event.

The first attempt at getting the race started was nullified when Doc McKinney and Rick Coffin made contact coming down the home stretch with Coffin tagging the wall. The damage to Coffin’s mount was too much and he went off on the hook while McKinney restarted.

Bookmiller grabbed the early advantage as Morris tried hard to make the tough outside line work. But before he could finally get in line, Morris was back several positions as Bookmiller settled into the lead with a host of heavy-hitters behind him. Caution was out early on lap two as Travis Rowland spun in turn three. On the ensuing restart, McKinney locked horns with Jimmy Wilkins and the two came to a stop at the top of turn four. This time it was McKinney who was unable to continue.

Bookmiller continued to set the pace but already it was evident that his engine was not at peak performance as there was plenty of “popping” from his exhaust. James Wilkins was putting the pressure on for the lead but slipped high on lap ten allowing James Wright III to slip into second.

Lap 20 saw the final caution right at mid race as Rowland and Jerry Artuso tangled in turn three. Rowland pulled off the track and called it a night.

From that point Bookmiller, battling his balky power plant, had to pull out all the stops to hold off Wright, whose car was running extremely hot. Wilkins remained in the thick of things staying right on Wright’s bumper as Kevin Macy and Morris moved up to challenge.

Bookmiller kept his car buried on the low side of the track as Wright threw out all the stops but was never able to make the pass aftraid if he slipped trying to make a move in the high groove he’d be “freight-trained.”

Bookmiller held on for his second win of the year trailed by Wright III, James Wilkins, Macy and Morris. Wright was none too happy in victory lane as he emerged from his car (which was leaking water like a geyser) accusing Bookmiller of “mirror driving” although the two shook hands after a brief discussion. The winner was both happy and apologetic in victory lane saying he “did what he needed to do” and that he was giving Wright plenty of room on the outside.

Third place finisher James Wilkins was more than pleased with finishing in the show spot. The 68-years-young driver, in a 26 year old race car, said his car was working good in the outside lane but “it just doesn’t have the straightaway speed to stay up with these other guys.”

Rounding out the top ten were Shawn Harper, Colin Cabre, Billy Bechtelheimer, David Grogan and Keith Lilley. So close were the cars in the race that, even though the final 20 laps were run under green, no one was even close to being lapped.

Lee Davis had a tough night with his new car in the Modified Mini Stocks. Davis never made a lap in the heat race as the car quit before the start and had to be pushed off the race track. Mike Sweet won the heat race and grabbed the feature race lead only to be punted into a spin by Burt Morse who was going for three feature wins in a row.

With Morse going to the rear of the restart line-up, Davis got a new lease on life as he quickly disposed of Sweet and was running away in the lead until his car suddenly shut off with a handful of laps left and he coasted into the infield.

Sweet re-claimed the front position and raced to his first win of the year in style over Jason Rendell and Scotty Sharpe. Rendell’s car was set down in tech however, moving Sharpe up to second in the final running order while Morse recovered for third. Bruce Anderson and Dennis Jones completed the front five. Point leader Fred Harrison, Jr. spun out during the Mini Stock heat race but got lucky when heat race winner Chris Narramore, Sr. had to pit before the start of the race, joining Harrison in the rear of the starting line-up instead of on the pole.

Donnie Guy set the early pace in the feature as the rest of the field duked it out behind him. Harrison sliced and diced his way to the front, taking the top spot away from Guy on lap eight and raced his way to his fifth win of the year. Guy held off the advances of Chris Spring and Narramore to grab second.
Fifth spot went to Kevin Steadman.

Make it a hat trick for Gerald White, Jr. as he won his third straight Legend Car feature. Jake Perkins and Mason Ketterman split the heat race wins and it was Perkins who set the early pace in the feature before White blasted past on lap three and never looked back. Justin Brown zipped up to second by the time the checker fell but was only within shouting distance of White. Ketterman took third while Perkins faded to fourth just ahead of newcomer Tyler Schule who was impressive scoring a top five in his initial start here.

Zach Napoleon, John Inman, Lynn Wiles, Bryan Silas and Dakota Baggett completed the top ten.

Sporting a new “camouflage” paint scheme on his car, point leader Jeff Waterman held off an impressive group of Street Stocks to claim his second win of the year. Dave Colpritt made sure Waterman knew he was there but had to settle for the runner-up spot trailed by Matt McCrary, Bobby Mobley and Eddie Hartin. Waterman and Colpritt split the heat race wins.

The tech shed was not kind to the V-8 Bomber class once again. David Fletcher led the first five laps of the feature before Brandon Duchscherer zoomed by to take an apparent win.

However, both Duchscherer and Fletcher were set down for weight infractions handing the win to Buddy Phillips, Jr., his first of 2010. Jason Howell would have finished second, but his car was also too light over the scales. Tav Gary was the only other car still running and his car did pass tech awarding him second place.

Point leader Josh Borem had mechanical troubles and dropped out of the feature but all the issues in tech still found him finishing third.

There was plenty of action to go around in the Scrambler class starting with plenty of bumpin’ and bangin’ in the heat race which waswon by point leader Kim Gullett. Gene Harrison actually passed Gullett on the final lap but was DQ’d for rough driving.

In the feature it was Ron Norman’s Ford Escort grabbing the top spot from Gullett and her Honda. Richie Acres had his Saturn on the move though. Driving with the passenger-side door missing after a heat race incident, Acres moved out front and stayed there to take the win. Norman would also eventually be another victim of the tech men as Richard Brown would take the checker in second followed by Brian Tyre, Matt Johns and William “Huggy Bear”
Hindman. Gullett wound up sixth.

The Bandolero feature was over before a lap could be completed. Only two cars showed up to race. Heat winner Derek Sobel made contact with Cameron White going down the back stretch in slid hard into the wall backwards. With his car too badly damaged to continue, Sobel was out and the win was subsequently awarded to White who refused to claim his accolades because he felt the accident was his fault.

Next week the Open Wheel Modifieds return for their second of back-to-back race nights. Also running will be the Street Stocks, Mini Stocks, Scramblers, V-8 Bombers and Sportsman cars . Racing start at 7 PM.

Also on Saturday, Auburndale Speedway will be helping out with the World’s Largest Poker Run to benefit the Fallen Firefighter Survivors Foundation presented by the Red Knights Motorcycle Club. The track will be hosting a car show from 1-5 PM. For more information call 863-551-1131 or log on to www.auburndaleracing.com.

Tim Russell Wins Billie Harvey Memorial at New Smyrna

by Andy Sandall, FASCAR Media

Samsula, FL (April 24, 2010) The fans and racers came out in force on Saturday night for the 3rd running of the annual Billie Harvey Memorial 100 for Super Late Models, but few could have anticipated the incredible race they would witness as the drivers came together to put on an instant classic out on the track. The big race would be set-up perfectly by an equally thrilling Pro Truck feature, as well as appearances by other local weekly divisions. But it was the big 100-lapper that had the crowds on their feet for a race that will still be talked about for months to come, and set a high standard for the rest of the season. (more…)

The Top Gun Sprints made their first visit of 2010 to Volusia Speedway Park on Saturday April 24, 2010. There were 22 cars at the track to give fans three heat races and a 25 lap feature race.

Harley Zimmerman in the 21Z car had the pole for the start of the first heat race. Matt took the lead on the start and led for 2 laps till his motor blew that put Amanda Ferguson in the 21A in the lead until 2 laps later she stopped on the front stretch with drive line broke. That put Ryan Partin in the 14 on the point and he took the win.

The 22 of Shawn Murray had the pole for the start of the second heat race with Gene Lasker in the 02 car on the outside. It was the 02 that made the better start and took the race lead and led from start to finish taking the heat win.

Tim George in the 1 car had the pole for the start of the third and final heat race, but it was Tommy Denton in the X coming from last to the lead and took the heat win.

The 02 of Gene Lasker had the pole for the start of the feature race event, with the 24 of Danny Martin alongside. After a parade lap, the race went to green and it was Gene Lasker in the 02 car that took the lead.

The first caution of the night came on lap 5 when the 8 car driven by Rich Alexander spun and stopped and the 30 of John Crowder slid into him in they were both took to infield, also Gene Lasker spun on the top to avoid crash was restarted and had to go to the rear. The race got back to green with Tommy Denton in the X in the lead, but only one lap later, the 83A of Christine Auld was re-fired, the race got back underway.

On the restart Tommy Denton led for 6 laps until the 24 of Danny Martin went around on the outside and never looked backed and took the checkered flag, followed by Tommy Denton in the X car was DQ in Tech, Ryan Partin in the 14 car, Gene Lasker in the 02 was DQ for not going to Tech and Shane Kreidler in the 52 car rounding out the top 5.

Rasslin Plus Racin Equals Excitement At Volu

by VSP Media

BARBERVILLE, FL- Fans got twice the action for their admission price on Saturday night as “Rasslin and Racin” tag teamed everyone at Volusia Speedway Park. While the wrestling got an early start and excited the crowd until heat races began, the Top Gun Sprint Car Series, Florida Mini Sprint Association, and Volusia’s own Budweiser Modifieds, picked up where the wrestlers left off and kept the energy level high. And in addition to exciting racing and wild wrestling events, the Daytona Antique Auto Racing Association turned out in full force with a museum load of racing history that can still go fast and turn left.

The Florida Wrestling Association got things going early as things got a little out of control. The American Freedom Fighter defeated The Russian Assassin in a “mask for mask” bout, but managed to allow the hated Russian to escape without removing his mask. J.C. Clark had two bouts, as he first defeated Barney Rumble in a scheduled bout, then lost to The Genius Lanny Poffo in a challenge match. And two sworn enemies, Wildman Brody and Rick the Reaper, teamed up in a “Bunkhouse Rules” tag team match against The Mulkey Brothers. The ensuing free-for-all resulted in everything that a wrestling fan could ask for with continuous action both in and out of the ring. In the end The Mulkey Brothers won the match, but escaped without compensating the host facility for multiple chairs that were broken over their opponents’ heads.

The only regular racing division on the card for Saturday’s action were the Budweiser Modifieds, which saw Garrett Stewart put his 67 machine on the pole after much toil and trouble, and control the early part of the race. But Jamie Carter had no concern over how much time, money, or effort, went into Stewart’s racing team, and he was all over the 67 from the opening laps, using the high side to stay all but side by side with Stewart for lap after lap. Directly behind Stewart and Carter another side by side battle erupted between Jeff Mathews and Larry Burkins over the second spot, which lasted until problems sidelined Mathews’ car on lap 7.

As Mathews made his exit, Jason Davis and Jimmy Carter both stepped up their games, moving into the top five and putting pressure on the leaders. Garrett Stewart began to fade under the strain as Jamie Carter assumed the lead and Larry Burkins climbed into second place, and as the laps wound down Burkins put all sorts of pressure on Jamie Carter but never managed to get the upper hand. Jamie Carter grabbed the win followed by Burkins in second place, and Jason Davis got past Stewart to claim the third spot. And while the 67 machine may have slipped a little late in the race, Garrett Stewart earned a very respectable fourth place finish and was followed by Jimmy Carter for fifth place.

Fans were excited to see if young Amanda Ferguson was a fluke or a find as the Top Gun Sprint Car Series hit the Barberville clay, but Ferguson ran into early mechanical issues during her heat race and was forced to retire for the night. That opened the door for the always exciting Gene Lasker to take control, and he put his 02 machine on the pole for the 25 lap feature race. Lasker never slows down, and failure to do so under caution early on proved costly as Lasker had to swerve to avoid a wrecked car in turn four, lost control, and backed hard into the turn four exit barrier. Lasker drove away from that incident but was penalized to the rear for failure to heed the caution flag and lights, then made huge progress toward rejoining the frontrunners, but was disqualified by top Gun Series officials after the race ended.

Lasker’s misfortune was Tommy Denton’s gain, as Denton assumed the lead. However, Danny Martin had his car hooked up for the track conditions, and he rocketed past Denton before lap 12 and began setting a pace that made the scorers sweat. Martin outclassed everything on the track, lapping cars all the way up to third place before the checkered flags put a stop to his progress. Ryan Partin also had a fast car and claimed the second spot, while Shane Kreidler followed in third place. Tony Agin and Mike Schroeder rounded out the top five finishers.

The idea of watching miniature sprint cars powered by motorcycle engines may send some less seasoned fans toward the exits, but those who have the knowledge to stay and watch the Florida Mini Sprints in action know that the little cars can scream around VSP’s fast half mile at around 130 miles per hour, and that their races are almost always competitive and exciting. 2009 Mini Sprint Champion Tim O’Donnell held the pole and led the 21 car field to the green flag, but not far behind him lurked his son, Brett O’Donnell, who has been aggressively building on last year’s Rookie of the Year honor, and who did not care if it is his dad that he had to beat in order to get it done. Steve Crabtree held the second spot early on as Eddie Moss Jr. and Jessie Teed joined the O’Donnells in a virtual lock on the top five positions. And right outside the top five was Rae Lynn Moss, who showed about the same amount of love for her dad, Eddie Moss Jr, as Brett O’Donnell was showing for his.

One of the casualties in a mid race mishap was Sheldon Kinser Jr, who ended up on his side in turn two but righted the car and drove away, then began sorting his way forward toward the top ten, eventually climbing to a seventh place finish. The caution flag got quite a bit of work during the race as various spins and contact slowed things down, but the periodic restarts also kept everyone within striking distance of each other, resulting in numerous position changes all through the field during the entire feature race, and keeping the excitement level high.

But thanks to the multiple slowdowns the race had to be shortened to 15 laps, and that set up a furious two lap sprint to the finish that had cars exchanging positions more than twice per lap. Final lap moves gave the win to Brett O’Donnell while Eddie Moss Jr. finished in second place, and Jessie Teed ratcheted up the heat on the final laps to nab third place. Tim O’Donnell was fourth and Steve Crabtree was fifth, as he managed to keep Rae Lynn Moss just out of the top five.

History buffs had their cameras clicking when the Daytona Antique Auto Racing Association (DAARA) hit the track and raced their machines. Eric Orewiler of Hernando got a win in 1934 Hudson, and Dave Cash of Palm Coast raced his 1979 Gambler Sprint to the checkers as well. Lonnie Roberts, who is better known for his exploits in the National Late Model Series, drove a 1932 Ford modified sportsman to a win, and a three quarter midget built in 1975 and raced by Tony Stewart in his teenaged days, secured a victory for Lake Worth’s Jerry Paquin.

Volusia Speedway Park celebrates “Uno De Mayo” on May 1st, as the Daytona Dodge Chrysler Late Models, Budweiser Modifieds, Taylor Racing Products Sportsman, Daytona Sportswear Street Stocks, and the 4 Cylinder Challengers, all return to action.

Schmauss Credited with Win in Racecar Engineering Late Models

By: Jason Loughren

04/24/2010

It was another awesome night for racing at the Clay by the Bay as over 100 cars hit the track for the six classes of racing with a twist. Last week two feature events were rained out when the skies opened up for a second time after a rain delay and rendered the track lost for the evening. Fans always know that they will get their money’s worth at East Bay Raceway Park, so when the bad weather cancelled the The Racecar Engineering Late Models and Outlaw 4’s feature events last week the solution was simple for the management at East Bay, they decided to run double features for those classes this week.

The Race Car Engineering Late Models and Outlaw 4 make up feature events were sandwiched into the pre intermission portion of the race program. In the Late Models Jack Nosbisch, Jr. dominated the early laps until a muffler fell of his car disqualifying him from the event. The beneficiary of that was Josh Peacock as he took the lead and held on for the win. The feature win was his 3^rd of the season. Philip Cobb started 5^th and finished 2^nd. David Schmauss had a strong run and came home third. David Pollen and Frankie Erskine, Jr. rounded out the top-5.

Then in the completion of the Outlaw 4’s feature event Billy Howard took the win, which was his second in a row. Matthew Haynes started 2^nd and finished 2^nd. Keith Heard came home 3^rd. Stephen Holhbaugh and Chris Zimmerman rounded out the top-5.

The regular feature program began with the Limited Late Models hitting the track for their 15 lap feature event. Tim Gay started in the 5^th position and had the car to beat. Early on in the event Philip Cobb appeared to be in control but his car was taken to the garage with a mechanical problem. Gay was the beneficiary of Cobb’s trouble and wound up in victory lane for his first win of the season. JR Prather Jr. finished 2^nd. Alex Boerner started 6^th and finished 3^rd. John Bradley and Forrest Gough rounded out the top-5. Dan Darnell and Boerner won the heats.

The Street Stocks were up next and did not disappoint as Thomas Pratt started on the pole and led the caution filled main event from start to finish. The win was Pratt’s second of the year. Jeff Rodgers started 8^th and had a strong run finished 2^nd. Buck Woodhouse ran in the top-5 all night long and finished 3^rd. Jarod Gay and Eric Moon rounded out the top-5. Reed, James Hook, and Buck Woodhouse were victorious in the heat events.

Another great field of Old Time Mods was on hand for their 12 lap feature event that saw an exciting battle between Lars Amundsen and Tommy Zwally as the laps wound down. Lars Amundsen took the slim victory over Zwally. Zwally finished 2^nd. Bobby Bush finished 3^rd. George Hall and Jamie Frankland rounded out the top-5.

The Race Car Engineering Late Models were back on the track for the second time of the evening with their 25 lap main event as twenty five cars took the green flag. David Schmauss started on the pole and lead every lap until a late restart. On the restart Bryan Bernhardt was able to gain position on Schmauss as he made the pass on the outside lane in turn 4. Berhhardt appeared to have his first feature win of the season but was declared to be too heavy in post race technical inspection. Schmauss was credited with the win. Travis Varnadore ran in the top-3 all night and finished 2nd. Roger Crouse started 6^th and finished 3rd. Ted Erskine picked up his first top-5 of the season with a 4^th place finish. Philip Cobb rounded out the top-5. Schmauss, T. Varnadore and David Pollen won the heats.

The regularly scheduled Outlaw 4 feature event saw a great race between first and second in the points standings. Billy Howard and Haynes battled for the early laps before Howard slipped to the middle of the pack. Haynes was able to take the win which was his third of the season. Chris Zimmerman finished 2^nd. Amanda Rogers started 5^th and finished 3^rd. Charlies Staats had a good run and wound up with a 4^th place finish. Travis Staats started shot gun on the field and was able to finish 5^th.

DB Hogwaller won the wet and wild Dirt Dauber event in exciting fashion.

ASA Sanctioned racing returns to East Bay Raceway Park on Saturday, May 1, 2010 with May Madness. The Racecar Engineering Late Models, Limited Late Models, Gagel’s Open Wheel Modifieds, and Street Stocks will all be in action. There will also be the Fan Participation Races at the intermission. For more information go to www.eastbayracewaypark.com or call the track office.

Russell tops Billie Harvey Memorial 100 at NSS

Story by Godwin Kelly – Daytona News Journal Sports Editor

SAMSULA — Tim Russell, who started fourth in the 26-car field, led almost every lap to win Saturday’s caution-filled Billie Harvey 100 Super Late Model feature at New Smyrna Speedway.

Sam Watts finished second followed by Ben Kennedy in his No. 96 Chevrolet, who raced side-by-side with Rich Clouser.

Russell has won five consecutive FASCAR Triple Crown races, including last year’s Billie Harvey 100.

“We had an awesome car,” Russell said. “It’s pretty cool to win this race. My dad said Billie Harvey would give the shirt off his back.”

It was a wild race with six cautions, two red flags and one serious hissy fit.

The first green flag set the tone for the night. It took three tries to start the 100-lap race over the fast, half-mile oval. There was action on the first lap when the No. 34 of Shaughn McCormick spun on the front stretch as the green flag was displayed.

On the next restart, there was a four-car pileup on the backstretch that forced a red-flag to clean up the mess. The red flag lasted about 15 minutes.

When the cars came to a stop, Matthew Stichmann emerged from his battered machine and started jumping up and down on the hood of the No. 14 entry driven by Mario Maresca.

Stichmann then bounded off the Maresca’s machine and started kicking it and punching the sheet metal with his fist. Stichmann tried to throw a punch at Maresca through the driver’s side window before he was restrained by track officials. FASCAR told Stichmann to pack up and head home.

When the race started, just after 10 p.m., it quickly became a two-car battle between short-track aces Russell and Wayne Anderson. But Anderson wiped out with 20 laps to go.

The third yellow flag was waved on Lap 10 when Mike Finn slammed the wall in Turn 2. The race went back to green on Lap 17, with Russell and Anderson continuing their side-by-side battle.

The fourth caution came out for Mario Gosselin, who slapped the wall hard in Turn 4 on Lap 60. The right side of Gosselin’s No. 61 car was pancaked, but the driver was reported unharmed.

Gosselin’s machine leaked so much fluid on the track, FASCAR officials had to red-flag the race a second time for extensive cleanup.

Whitener Holds Off Nobles For Ocala Late Model Win

by BJ Cavin- Ocala Speedway Media

OCALA, FL- Another near perfect night of springtime Florida weather greeted the fans and racers at the historic Ocala Speedway on Friday night, as four divisions took their turns on the toughest 3/8ths mile in the southeast. And tough it was, because quite a few racers will have plenty of work to do over the next couple of weeks to get their machines back in shape for the next round of racing at Ocala. But despite many spins and quite a bit of contact, the racing was exciting and the fans got everything that they came for and more.

When Ocala’s Mini Stock Division hit the clay Keith Briggs was watching from the turn one bleachers. Briggs had looked strong in winning his earlier heat race, but an oil pressure and overheating issue had the 19T parked in the pits for the feature race instead of on the track. Dan Kerr began from the pole and jumped out to an early lead, but Paul Combast took it from him on lap 4. And on the following lap a spin by Michael Ogelsby brought a caution, and on the restart Dan Kerr grabbed the lead back from Combast. (more…)
