THREE “GIFTED” WINNERS SATURDAY NIGHT AT NEW SMYRNA SPEEDWAY

Patrick Thomas won the Sportsman feature Saturday night (Jim Jones Photo)It was Christmas in August at New Smyrna Speedway Saturday night as three of the five winning drivers had their victories “gift wrapped” for them.  Zach Jarrell had the pole position for the Pro Late Model feature and he used that to his advantage as he built up a huge lead while a wholesale battle took place behind him.  Ricky Anderson did his best to hold off an onslaught of other drivers for second spot but eventually Rich Clouser, Brad May and point leader Will Carroll were able to slip by but found themselves with considerable ground to make up to leader Jarrell.  Most fans figured that it would take little time for Clouser and May to catch the leader since the duo had won the last four PLM races contested here, but as the laps began to wind down it became apparent Jarrell had his car on rails and looked to be on his way to his second win of the year.  Suddenly Jarrell’s car slowed heading into turn two on lap 16 victim of a broken distributor and
he dejectedly coasted to pit road.  Clouser took over at that point and was looking strong but May closed quickly in the late laps to put the pressure on him.  May’s charge fell just short at the checker as Clouser claimed his fourth win of the season over May and Carroll.  Anderson held on for fourth trailed by Daniel Miller, Noah Cornman and Jarrell.

Don O’Neal Wins Whiskey City 50 at Lawrenceburg Speedway

Lucas LogoLAWRENCEBURG, IN (August 23, 2014) – Don O’Neal returned to his home-state of Indiana on Saturday Night and won the Whiskey City 50 at Lawrenceburg Speedway. It was O’Neal’s sixth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the season, and is continues to close the gap on current point leader, Jimmy Owens, who came home sixth.

O’Neal grabbed the lead on lap four from his Clint Bowyer Racing teammate, Steve Francis, and charged to his 39th career LOLMDS victory. Francis finished second followed by pole-sitter, Scott Bloomquist. Steve Casebolt drove by Earl Pearson Jr. on the final lap to take fourth, as Pearson Jr. would round out the top five.

“The car was on a rail tonight, no doubt,” said O’Neal. “I have to thank Lance and Barry Wright, Jeremy Justice, and Tony Trent for all of the hard work they do. Clint’s going to be real happy with this one-two finish here tonight.”   

“We started fifth and the bottom was working real well there early on. I had a few moments there in traffic, but everybody gave each other plenty of room. It’s good to come back here and win, especially after missing last year’s race. I didn’t know how far Steve (Francis) was behind me, I was just concentrating on the traffic ahead.” (more…)

Steve Dorer Survives Rain Delay; Leads All 100 Laps At Anderson Speedway For First JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Win

10dorervltrophyanderson72614Anderson, Indiana (Saturday, July 26, 2014): The fast 1/4 (0.250) mile high-banked paved oval of Anderson Speedway (IN) in Anderson, Indiana was the site for the Edgewater Woods 100 Presented by JEGS.com. The JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Presented by Chevrolet Performance highlighted the night as the teams who made the trip to Central Indiana were looking to stop the unprecedented win streak laid out by Trent Snyder. In the three previous races, Snyder had swept all three and was going for an unprecedented fourth in a row in four years of the Tour racing at Anderson.

When all was said and done at the end of the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tours’ 50th all-time event and at the end of 100 laps, Lakeland, Florida veteran, Steve Dorer not only stopped Snyder’s impressive track winning streak at three, but he would also score his first career JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour victory. The pilot of the #10 Racecar Engineering / FLF Racecars / Chevrolet survived a 90 minute rain delay as well as several challenges throughout the course of the race to go the distance in leading all 100 laps for the victory.

“It’s about time. Wow! I can’t believe this. We’ve had so many second and third place runs over the past couple of seasons I was wondering when I’d ever get back here,” The emotional 44-year-old stated in victory lane. “We’ve been coming back home (Coldwater, Michigan) during the summer for a few years now and running when we could as much as we could before going back to Florida in the fall each year. It’s been awhile since we’ve got a win up north. It was here in the Redbud (2011). This feels really good.” He added.  (more…)

SCOTT LOCKWOOD (Desoto Speedway) – Bradenton's Danny Anderson survived a late scare to take Saturday night's crash-marred 50-lap main event for the Joey Coulter Florida Pro Truck Series at Desoto Speedway.

Kyle Bronson Wins USA Firecracker 50 For The Donnie Tanner Memorial Race #2 For the Late Models At East Bay Raceway Park

Bronson-winner-3-8-14Tampa, FL – It looked as if Mother Nature would spoil yet another night of racing, but after a 2 hour rain delay, the crowd would see six divisions tonight as the USA Firecracker 50 for the Donnie Tanner Memorial Series Race #2 would try its third attempt to get the race in after two previous rain dates. Also racing were the Limited Late Models, V8 Warriors, Q Auto & Injury Attorneys Street Stocks, Outlaw Fours and the Motorstats.com 4 Cylinder Bombers.

First feature of the night went to the Q Auto & Injury Attorneys Street Stocks as they would run a 15 Lap Feature only. Starting on the front row was Thomas Burnside and Larry Chumney,II. Ronnie Heard would take the early lead and had a half a straight away lead until the first caution would come out on lap eight as two cars tangled in turn two. Heard would take the green and had Scotty Kay, Jr. challenging for the lead on lap nine as Scotty crossed the line by just a half car length over Heard. Caution would come out on lap ten as another car spun in turn four. With just five laps to go it would be a single file restart as Kay, Jr., Heard and Tim Gay would tangle causing another caution in turn one. That would hand the lead over to Buck Woodhouse as he went on to win his second feature of the year. Rounding out the top five were Jeff Rodgers, Billy Barstow, David Barwick, II and Matthew Grissom.
