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.

IT’S TIM RUSSELL ALL THE WAY IN AMF CHASSIS 100 AT AUBURNDALE SPEEDWAY

by Dave Westerman

Auburndale Speedway saw its biggest crowd of the year Saturday night as the fans were treated to some outstanding racing. On top of the racing action, one lucky fan took home nearly $550 in the 50/50 raffle and “Lindsey’s Little Racers” gave away four brand new bicycles complete with helmets to four lucky kids. Two of those bikes were purchased and donated Saturday afternoon by Ronnie Sims of Becton-Sims Racing.

A top-notch field of 23 Late Models were on hand although mechanical issues in practice kept Jonathan Guy from competing. With several veteran hot shoes in the field it was youth being served in time trials as Jason Vail surprised everyone by setting quick time. The Clermont youngster had his Ron Vail Plumbing #407 on rails turning a lap at 13.472 seconds while recent FAST Series winner Jeff Scofield was second quick at 13.492. Tim Russell, making his first-ever venture to the Auburndale track, turned third quick time ahead of Georgia visitor Jason Hogan and “The Bulldozer,” Kevin Ingram. Vail’s quick lap was worth an extra $100 from JPL Auto Empire. (more…)

EDDIE HARTIN FINDS VICTORY LANE AGAIN AT AUBURNDALE SPEEDWAY

by Dave Westerman

Another huge crowd of fans enjoyed yet another action-packed night at Auburndale Speedway with the School Bus Figure 8 event the icing on the racing cake.

Veteran driver Eddie Hartin picked up a ride in the Street Stock class a few weeks ago and he finally had his new mount working to perfection Saturday night as he took a very popular win.

Hartin and Brandon Duscherer topped the heats and made up the front row for the 20 lap feature with Duscherer grabbing the early lead. Duscherer was battling a loose racer and Hartin wasted little time asserting himself out front by lap four. From there it was simply a battle for second place as Hartin streaked away to the victory. Duscherer held off Jeff Waterman for second but it was all for naught as Duscherer’s car came up light on the scales and he was disqualified.

Waterman thus moved up to second in the finishing order trailed by Kyle Hall, Dave Colpritt and Kyle Peters, who was making his first start of the year.

Duscherer gained a bit of revenge by dominating the V-8 Bomber feature race as well as making it through the tech shed unscathed.

After winning the heat, Duscherer was pretty much in control of the feature from green to checker despite having to wait out a lengthy red flag period late in the going after Larry Chumney blew the engine in his car dumping fluid all over the track.

James Wright II took runner-up honors ahead of Paul Bookmiller and Josh Borem. So many cars had dropped out before his engine blew that Chumney still finished fifth.

The best race of the night had to be the Mini Stock feature. Heat winner Chris Narramore, Sr. took the early lead but ran side by side for many laps with Fred Harrison, Jr. with Harrison actually leading on a couple of occasions by a mere bumper.

Narramore managed to get the top spot but had to hold off both Harrison and Chris Spring in a crowd-pleasing finish that had the fans applauding vigorously after the checker fell.

It was Narramore’s second win of the year while point leader Harrison settled for second in front of Spring. Young Jason Swilley had his best finish since moving into the class from the Kids Club in fourth while James Pate had a great run for fifth.

Burt Morse ran off and hid from the rest of the field in the Modified Mini Stock 25 lap run. The race ran from green to checker without a caution as Morse was in a different zip code by the finish.

Jason Rendell was a distant second just ahead of Scotty Sharpe while Mike Sweet and Chad Rose claimed fourth and fifth.

Legend Car point leader Jake Perkins had a tough weekend. After destroying his car in a bad crash Friday night in Orlando, Perkins borrowed a car from fellow racer Dakota Baggett for the Saturday races here.

Perkins seemed to be in pretty good shape as he won his heat race and had a front row start for the 25 lap feature outside first heat winner Gerald White, Jr. but after a false start, something broke on Perkins’ car and he was towed to the pits as his “weekend to forget” ended with a last place finish.

For White, it was finally time for the Lakeland Youngster to shine as he led all the way to take the win, his first of the year. Justin Brown gave chase but White pulled away late in the going with Brown taking second trailed by Mason Ketterman, Dave Gleason and Zach Napoleon.

Only two Bandoleros were still around after hot laps with Ryan Shattuck getting his second win of the year with Cameron White second.

The final event of the night was the School Bus Figure 8 race which saw several different leaders before Danny Taylor pulled away for the win.

Although there were a few close call in the “X,” the worst incident of the event came when a fuel line broke on Robert Aaron’s bus with the engine compartment erupting in flames. Several fire exinguishers were needed before the fire was finally put out.

Gary Swing trailed Taylor to the checker with Mark Carraro taking third spot.

Next week the Late Models return to Auburndale Speedway for a 100 lap event paying $3,000 to win. Also racing will be the Mini Cups, Kids Club, Legends, Bandoleros, Mini Stocks, Scramblers, V-8 Bombers, and Sportsman. Qualifying is at 5:30PM and racing starts at 7 PM.

LILLEY FLAG TO FLAG IN TRUCKS – DQ’S ABOUND AGAIN AT AUBURNDALE SPEEDWAY

by Dave Westerman

Keith Lilley made the best of a borrowed ride and the tech shed was once again a busy place as Auburndale Speedway celebrated the Easter weekend with loads of action and fun.

The Auburndale Truck Series made its season debut and Keith Lilley made the most of a ride he picked up for the weekend by dominating both the heat and feature races. Lilley, who said his machine was “handling perfectly” jumped to the early lead and never looked back in posting the win.

Lance Daubach did a great job in finishing second trailed by Tim Sozio. Roger Blevins was fourth and J.R. Garcia took fifth.

The Sportsman class saw Dave Dunkin looking for his third straight win. Dunkin took the heat win and was leading the 25 lap main event when the rear end gears broke on his “Blue Goose” and he headed to the pits while the only caution of the race was displayed to check for fluid on the track.

Jason Stifle took over at that point and set the pace the remainder of the distance with Mark Medeiros well behind in second after a race-long battle with Aaron Williamson.

Unfortunately both the cars of apparent winner Stifle and Williamson did not pass tech inspection awarding the win to Medeiros. Austin Carr, whose team replaced the rear gears of his car after they broke in hot laps, came home with a second place finish followed by Bobby Mobley, Kyle Alford and Brandon Duscherer.

Fred Harrison, Jr. jumped out to an early lead and claimed his third Mini Stock feature win of the year taking the point lead in the process. Aaron Williamson took second spot and was able to pass tech in this car. Heat winner Chris Spring, Chris Narramore, Sr. and Donnie Guy rounded out the top five.

Flagman Julian Mullis needed painkillers for a sore arm after waving the caution flag numerous times during a wild Street Stock feature.

Dave Colpritt led the whole way and was certainly in the right place to be as the cars behind him were at it tooth and nail the entire distance. Twelve cars started the race but just five were left as the checkered flag fell.

Point leader Matt McCrary had the hardest hit as something broke on his machine and he pounded the turn two wall before bouncing back across the track and collecting the car of Austin Jenkins. Both drivers walked away unhurt.

Bobby Mobley trailed Colpritt to the checker as “Big Dave” scored his second win of the year. Jeff Waterman came back from an early race incident to get third with Ken Lawrence fourth and Chuck Harrison, Jr. fifth as the only ones still left on the track.

Heat wins were taken by Colpritt and Jeff Waterman.

There was plenty to discuss in the pits after the Legend Car feature. Jake Perkins appeared to be on his way to a fourth consecutive win. But going into turn three, defending champion Justin Brown drove in hard and punted Perkins into the high groove. Brown made the pass and crossed the stripe for the win.

After much “discussion” the win stood with Perkins claiming second in front of Gerald White, Jr., Mason Ketterman and Dave Gleason. Heat race wins were taken by Perkins and White.

After having a pair of victories snatched from him already this year in tech, Chris Narramore, Jr. easily claimed the V-8 Bomber win and finally passed tech under the watchful eye of the inspectors. Brandon Duscherer was a distant second at the finish trailed by heat winner James Wright II, Josh Borem and Andy Harvard.

The Scrambler feature also saw the apparent winner set down in tech. Gene Harrison drove his Volkswagen by early leader Chad Cutting on lap eight and ran off to the apparent win. However, Harrison refused a tear-down and the win ended up going to Cutting.

Cutting, who is the grandson of the legendary “Tampa Terror” Will Cagle, scored his first win of the year over point leader Kim Gullett, Brian Tyre, Richard Brown and Jeremy Watts.

It was yet another Dwarf Car win for Jonathan Guy as he claimed the victory after a hard-fought battle with Sonny O’Sullivan. Donny Bass was third ahead of his dad Johnny Bass and Zane Davis.

After leader Ryan Shattuck spun out of the lead, Ryan Sobel took over the point and led the rest of the way to claim his first-ever Bandolero feature win. Shattuck drove back to get second but ran out of time before he could catch Sobel. Cameron White was third ahead of Andy Metz and Noah “Lil’ Gater”

Cornman. Shattuck won the heat.

The Kids Club feature race was a first-ever win for young Heather Guy as she topped Dakota Hunt and Brandon Guy. Heather also won the heat race.

Next week the School Bus Figure 8s return along with Street Stocks, Modified Mini Stocks, Legends, Bandeleros, Mini Stocks, V-8 Bombers and Scramblers.

Racing begins at 7 PM. For more information call 863-551-1131 or log on to www.auburndaleracing.com.

KEVIN MACY THIRD WINNER IN THREE MODIFIED RACES AT AUBURNDALE SPEEDWAY

by Dave Westerman

It was another great night of racing action at Auburndale Speedway as Kevin Macy topped the Open Wheel Modified field to become the third different winner in three races run so far this year.

Fifteen Modifieds were at the track, but Richie Smith pounded the wall in hot laps after losing a wheel. Smith was OK but his car was on the trailer early. Mechanical ills also kept James Wilkins from competing.

Macy and Keith Lilley won the heat races and lined up on the front row for the feature. Lilley tried hard to make the outside groove work, but Macy held firm and grabbed the lead while James Wright III slipped under Lilley and into second spot. (more…)
