CARTERSVILLE, GA – Ross Martin of Talladega, AL won the 22nd Annual Ice Bowl Super Late Model Race on Sunday afternoon at Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, AL driving a three-year-old GRT Chassis that was won by his son Adam and powered by a four-year-old $7,000 Chevrolet Performance CT 525 Engine purchased from NeSmith Chevrolet in Claxton, GA.
Martin started third in the 50-lap race and worked his way up to the lead on lap 31, passing polesitter Billy Ogle Jr. of Knoxville, TN. Martin never looked back and scored the biggest win of his 30-year career and the $6,000 top prize. Martin said his race car was so good, it made him very nervous.
“When we unloaded the car on Friday, it was perfect and we were in the top 5 in times in every practice session,” Martin said. “My son Adam told me to just be quiet and not brag that we won hot laps. Then we qualified third fastest without much effort, and I knew we had the car to beat. We were so good, I was nervous about it.”
But Martin’s nerves turned into confidence after taking some valuable advice from a Hall of Fame driver.
“Right before the race, Mike Head told me this race was ours to win, and to just relax and let it happen,” Martin said. “Mike told me we had the right set-up, the right engine, and the right tires. After he told me that, I quit being nervous and was just busting with confidence.”
The right engine was a four-year-old $7,000 Chevrolet Performance CT525 Engine that Martin credits for making his race car the one to beat. Martin had won some weekly shows at Talladega Short Track with the engine, but Sunday was the race he wanted to win more than any. (more…)
Jane Smith, Florida Dirt Track News – Samsula, FL. (November 17, 2012) A new moon hung over the night skies at New Smyrna Speedway as the 47th Annual Governor’s Cup 200 presented by Bright House Networks took place. Tonight would see a 200 lap Super Late Model race and a 100 lap Modified race along with a 25 lap Super Stock race.
Open Wheel Modifieds qualified first with 37 cars in their field. It was #66H of Dewayne Dempsey who set the time to beat of 18.530. Rich Clouser, who also ran the night before in the Pro Late Model race and finished second and will run the 200 Lap Governor’s Cup race tonight, set second fast time with a 18.599 in the #15C Modified. Brian Nester had third best time with a 18.626 in the #11 Mod. Kevin Terry’s #13 Mod had fourth fastest time with a 18.668. Completing the top five was John Sappraicone, Jr. in the #86 with a 18.678.

10-01-2012 – Lee Faulk Racing and it’s youngest driver, Pietro Fittipaldi have been inching closer and closer to that elusive first victory of the season. With one race left on the schedule, everything came together and the team pulled off what may be the biggest win the the history of Lee Faulk Racing.
The Fall Brawl is an annual 200 lap event held at the end of the regular season that sees many big name drivers come to try and capture the trophy. Rain would cancel most of practice on Friday and Saturday of the event this past weekend, forcing teams to go straight to qualifying mode. Fittipaldi would qualify 5th in the 22 car field with a time of 15.407.
This was a decent effort and it would not take long for Pietro to make his move to the front.
“The first 100 laps we were just trying to work our way into position and save our left side tires the best we could knowing we would get two new right sides at the halfway break.” Michael Faulk said of the game plan this past Saturday.
At halfway, Fittipaldi had moved from 5th into the 3rd position. David Garbo Jr. and Austin McDaniel traded the lead back and fourth in the first one hundred laps as well as the first 30 laps of the second segment. (more…)
