By- Jim Rouse, BRP Media – 8-25-12 (Ocala, FL) The Wiener Nationals came to Bubba Raceway Park for the first time in it’s 5-year history and “The Longdogs” put on a great charitable show. RaceCar Engineering Late Models, Scorpion Racing Products Modifieds, Hobby Stocks, 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks, and Rent-N-Roll Gladiators also put on a wonderful night of racing.

Wiener Nationals were very exciting but no one could catch Wilhelm “Willie” Linebarier as he took title #4 with ease over a strong group of dogs including 2^nd place Gator from the Sullivan Racing group and the 3^rd placed Hammond Motorsports’ non-breed winner Lexi.

Scorpion Racing Products Modifieds started with Jeff Mathews leading a 1-2 for Mathews Motorsports. We’d go 3 laps before Bubba Christian spun on the backstretch. Dalton Lanich and Garret Stewart made contact on the restart which left Lanich very slow (though he would continue on) and stacked up Jim Passino, Gary Sexton, Wayne Hammond, Bubba Christian, and Chuck Gustafson, Jr. Mathews Motorsports led with Mathews leading Lloyd and Kyle Bronson sat in 3^rd.

Racing fans were given a special treat at the Plymouth Speedway Saturday night as Tony Stewart competed in the ARP Engine Pro ASCS Sprints on Dirt Battle at the Bullring presented by Hastings Manufacturing, Mahle/Clevite and Melling Engine Parts.

The three-time NASCAR champion won the 30-lap feature, leading wire to wire and holding off Ryan Grubaugh in the homestretch to seal the win as Grubaugh spun off the 1/5-mile dirt oval and onto the asphalt in turn three of the final lap challenging Stewart. ASCS SOD point leader Gregg Dalman finished second, Steve Irwin placed third, and Grubaugh salvaged a fourth-place finish in the feature. “I was a little worried I gave that one away,” Stewart said from Victory Lane after the race. “I could see (Grubaugh) down there, and I was getting a little worried I opened up the door for him.” Stewart, who supplements his busy NASCAR schedule with Sprints On Dirt and other non-NASCAR events throughout the summer, took time out to sign autographs in the pit area following his feature win. He was originally scheduled to make his SOD debut at the Plymouth Speedway back on June 16 but was forced to reschedule after untimely showers rained out the event. (more…)

Grossenbacher would go on to take his 1^st feature win of the 2012 season, with Anderson settling for a distant 2^nd. Drew Brannon (82) was you biggest mover of the race, coming from the 10^th starting spot, to take home the 3^rd position at the checkers. (more…)
