Desoto Super Speedway, Official Results, May 16, 2010

By Tom Blakeley

{Bradenton, FL May 8, 2010)

It was a great night for racing at the super speedway tonight, the weather was perfect and the fans and drivers and officials showed up ready to go ‘racin’.  The Open Wheel Modified race provided lots of action but there were several minutes of intense concern as the #64 car driven by Phil Morrison hit the front stretch wall very hard and Morrison was unconscious for several minutes.  When Morrison finally regained consciousness the EMS had him stay still in his seat for several more minutes.  It was a scary situation for everybody.  Morrison exited the car and did not want to go to the hospital to be checked out.

In other action, Johns Stewart (The Mayor) won a thriller of a Junior’s Trim Shop Bomber feature race.  The first half of the race it was John Stewart in the #02 car and Richard Nelson in the #80 car running side by side.  As the race went on Nelson’s car appeared to get loose and he was sliding up high in the turns and Stewart took advantage and pulled ahead for good.  There was a lot of action with the Bombers tonight.  On lap 9 the yellow flag came out as the 04 Car of Dennis Wilson and the #49 car Of Dean Butrum rubbed and spun out and Wilson hit the wall hard then he went after Butrum.  The end result of this was Dennis Wilson having to pit his car.  On lap 11 another yellow flag came out as the #42 of Steve Elder, the #28 of Dave Licking and the #93 of Jeff Firestine got together and all three spun out. 

The Q Auto and Injury Attorney’s Pure Stocks put on another great show for the fans tonight.  The #30 of Robert Crisp, the #71 of Darren Ellis, the #3 of Duane Best and the #67  of Jimmie Best were all either side by side or bumper to bumper the entire race.  Any of the four could have won this 25 lap feature race.  This is one amazing division with fast, hard, clean racing.

The Sturdybuilt Flyin 4’s did some fine racing tonight.  Brittany Barr lead for the first 6 laps until Randy Johnson made a clean pass and took the lead.  The show was between the pink rocket #91 of Jess Ostrovskis and the #98 of Cody Allen.  They were side by side for many laps but JCR Jess inched her way to the finish line and won by a fender.   After spinning out and going to the rear Brittany Barr fought her way back to finish on Cody Allen’s bumper for a great 4^th place.

Magic 4’s.  On a not so positive note.  The Magic 4’s last week had 9 participants that bumped a lot, pushed a lot, and just plain drove roughly.  The officials called a required meeting of all Magic 4 drivers for tonight.  Unfortunately only 2 of last week’s participants showed up for this important meeting in a clear message signaling disrespect for the officials and the track.  We will all be looking to see what the officials decide in regard to the fate of this class and the privilege to participate in it.  It does appear as though minimally a long vacation or the cancellation of all future Magic 4 events is a real possibility.

The following are tonight’s results:

(May 1,2010, Bradenton, Fl)

It was a great night of weather and racing at the old speedway tonight.  It was hot in the afternoon but the gulf breezes cooled it off to make for perfect weather to go “racin”.  The fans sure got their money’s worth tonight as the largest field of cars in a long time showed up and put on quite a show.  Several drivers from the racetrack formerly known as CCMP invaded the asphalt of Desoto Super Speedway.  This  made for the large field of cars.  A good time was had by all and everybody is looking forward to next week’s racing action.

The  Magic 4 class went a little overboard on action tonight and they will all be called into the office for a strong lecture on the purpose of the class.  There was so much bumping and spinning that there were 7 yellow flags after 3 complete restarts.  Zac Campilonga hit the tractor tire in turn 1 and rolled his car end over end.  Zac then proceeded to do his Evil Kneivel imitation and jumped out of the car and up on its roof with his hands waving a victory wave to the fans.  That brought about the evenings first standing ovation.

DESOTO SUPER SPEEDWAY

4 CYL ROAD

By Marty Little and Tom Blakeley

April 17, 2010

Bradenton Florida

The weather gods were looking over the oval track tonight.  There was rain to East, rain to the West, Rain to the South, and rain to the North.  But over the speedway was this “big ol” hole in the sky and while it drizzled a few times all the races were run to completion.  It was a special night for young Mr. Dallas Troyer in the silver bullet #01 car.  The quiet and mild mannered lad lit up the inner circle track and won the feature event in the Magic 4 class.  He did this after being sent to the back with only a few laps to go.  He drove a clean hard race and loved going to Victory Circle for the first time this year.  His fellow racers were as happy for him as his proud Mom and Dad.  It sure looks like there will be many wins in this talented drivers future, so watch out for Dallas Troyer.  Taking a close second place was Kyle Best in the black #3 car and Zac Campilonga in the #30 car drove to a great third place.  Zac also gave away another bicycle to a needy youngster at Intermission, this is Zac’s way of giving back.  The Magic 4 class is presented by Desoto Super Speedway as a driver development class for ages 12 to 17 for both boys and girls.  The Magic 4’s are a crowd favorite.

The Flyin 4’s just started as a class last year towards the end of the season and it has quickly grown and become a fan favorite.  There is some real talent behind the wheels, and some exciting racing going on.  Randy Johnson who was a Pure Stock Champion back a couple years ago has once again proven his skills and can be a dominating force in this class.  The only problem for that is little miss Brittany Barr who was the Magic 4 Champion last year and Miss Jessica Ostrovskis also a former Magic 4 Champion.  These two adorable ladies will be giving Randy Johnson all the competition he ever imagined;  all year.  They almost ran Johnson down tonight,  but he prevailed and took first place in the #73 car.  Brittany Barr in the black #81 car was second and Jessica Ostrovskis in the pink bullet #91 won a terrific third.  What a great show it was.

Pure Stocks.  Wow what a race this was.  Darren Ellis and Robert Crisp were either side by side or touching bumpers the entire race.  Races like this are why fans come to the speedway.  When they crossed the finish line it was Darren Ellis winning it in the #71 car.  Robert Crisp in the #30 car in second and Duane Best in the #3 car taking third place.

Trophy Dash.  This year’s newest class and wild and crazy doesn’t get close to describing it.  From antlers on roofs to police lights, no yellow flags and drivers looking to wreck makes this one whacky event.  It is not about the money for these guys as they drive for the trophy only.

TBARA Sprints

Veteran Sonny Hartley drove around Tommy Nichols on lap 16 and sped to his first TBARA feature victory in several seasons in Saturday night’s 30 lap sprint car headliner at DeSoto Super Speedway.

 Things got off to a rough start in the feature when outside front row starter Dakotah Stephens broke an axle and spun in front of the field on the first lap. The ensuing melee took out point leader Shane Butler, Dude Teate, Troy DeCaire and Stephens.

 When the green waved following the clean up it was pole sitter Steve Heisler out front with Hartley, Tommy Nichols and Johnny Gilbertson in tow. Nichols quickly worked around Hartley for second but a caution waved on lap five when leader Heisler looped his mount to put Nichols in front over Hartley.

 The field reformed and it was Nichols the point man but Hartley was on his game this night and kept the pressure on before making a pass for the lead on lap 16. Once in front it was no contest as Hartley motored away until a yellow waved for debris on lap 28. The offending trash was removed from the racing surface and Hartley never looked back, taking his No. 27 to the checkers ahead of Nichols, Larry Brazil, Jr., Bo Hartley and Ben Fritz.

 Heat race victories went to DeCaire and Gilbertson.

 Feature finish (30 laps) – 1. Sonny Hartley, 2. Tommy Nichols, 3. Larry Brazil, Jr. 4. Bo Hartley, 5. Ben Fritz,

6. Johnny Gilbertson, 7.David Retzlaff, 8. Steve Heisler, 9. Larry Brazil, 10. D.J. Hoelzle, 11. Dakotah Stephens, 12.Troy DeCaire, 13. Dude Teate, 14. Shane Butler, 15. Joey Aguilar DNS
