Dude Teate Leads the Way to Victory Lane at New Smyrna Speedway

 

by Marty Little
 
NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. – Multi time TBARA champion Dude Teate rebounded from a nasty heat race accident and won Saturday night’s 30 lap BioBased.US TBARA sprint car event at New Smyrna Speedway.
 
Dakotah Stephens and Bryan Riddle brought the 16 car field to the green flag but it was third starting Troy DeCaire who quickly jumped into the lead and set the pace around the half-mile oval. Meanwhile back in 12th spot Teate was taking things easy after lengthy repairs following impact with the wall in a heat race incident.
DeCaire, who has been racing in the Midwest this summer, began to stretch his margin but Teate’s car was somewhat comfortable and he began to work his way through the field.
 
A yellow flag on lap 11 for a broken shock on Bryan Riddle’s mount regrouped everyone and put Teate within striking distance of leader DeCaire. The green waved one lap later and the battle was on. Teate’s hastily repaired mount was up to the task as he ran down DeCaire’s purple racer and took the lead on lap 14. Once in front Teate never looked back and stretched out his margin over DeCaire to register his first victory of the season.
 
DeCaire never gave up and finished second ahead of pole sitter Stephens, Mickey Kempgens and Sonny Hartley. Heat race winners were Larry J. Brazil and DeCaire.
 
The TBARA ground pounders next head to the Gulf Coast for a doubleheader at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola and Mobile International Speedway in Irvington, Ala. on August 27 and 28.

Kirkpatrick dazzles at New Smyrna, but Mother Nature’s drizzle ultimately won.

By John Berti

New Smyrna, FL -July 1, 2010. Austin Kirkpatrick dazzled a field of 29 Sunoco Florida All Star Tour Super Late Models in qualifying for the 12th Annual Clyde Hart Memorial 100 at New Smyrna Speedway, Thursday evening.

The 17 year old high school junior, at the wheel of the Sonny’s Bar-B-Q #85 Chevrolet, set fast time of the day with a lap around the ½ mile high banked, paved oval in 17.589 seconds.

Another surprise was the fine qualifying time turned in by track regular, Ben Kennedy, who set the second fastest time with a circuit at 17.643 seconds.

Super late model household names finished out the top five qualifiers as follows: B.J. McCleod, 17.664; Wayne Anderson, 17.719; and Jeff Scofield, 17.768.

The stage was set for promising battle between the new wave, young guns of Super Late Model racing and. the wily veterans later on in the evening. Too bad for all that Mother Nature had to step in with rain and in the end it was drizzle that beat out dazzle with the ultimate cancellation of the Clyde Hart Memorial 100 until Saturday, September 4, 2010.

The open wheel modifieds had taken to the track for their 50 lap feature when it began to sprinkle. The sprinkle quickly turned to steady rain which pelted the track forcing a determined track management to end the night’s competition.

New Smyrna Speedway Forced to Cancel Clyde Hart Memorial

Due to rain, all events at New Smyrna Speedway were cancelled on July 1.  The 100 lap Late Model race has been rescheduled for September 4.

Thanks to all the fans and racers who came out to support the event.  New Smyrna Speedway did their best but Mother Nature just did not want to race.

Troy DeCaire Wins TBARA at New Smyrna

by Marty Little
 
NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. – Troy DeCaire, fresh off a sixth place finish in the Little 500, paced all 30 laps to win the TBARA winged sprint car feature event Saturday night at New Smyrna Speedway.
 
DeCaire hustled into the lead from his outside front row starting spot but things went all wrong as the 15 car field worked lap one. Dude Teate’s mount suddenly lost power and he was tagged by Joey Augilar with Ben Fritz also involved. A red flag was needed to clean up the mess with the cars of Teate and Aguilar both finished for the evening. Fritz’s mount only suffered minor damage and was able to continue.
 
When the green flag waved again it was all DeCaire aboard George Rudolph’s No. 68 as he expertly worked the paper clip shaped half mile with precision. A yellow flag on lap 23 for a blown engine in Bo Hartley’s mount regrouped the field but there was no stopping DeCaire this night as he motored away at the drop of the green to record his third TBARA main event victory of the season.
 
Veteran Sonny Hartley drove a steady race to collect runner-up honors over Larry Brazil, Brian Gingras and Tommy Nichols while heat race wins went to D.J. Hoelzle and DeCaire.
 
The tour next heads to DeSoto Super Speedway on June 19. 
 
 Feature (30 laps) – 1. Troy DeCaire, 2. Sonny Hartley, 3. Larry Brazil, 4. Brian Gingras, 5. Tommy Nichols, 6. Johnny Gilbertson, 7. Bobby Rose, 8. Shane Butler, 9. Ben Fritz, 10. Bo Hartley, 11. Sonny O’Sullivan, 12. Larry Brazil, Jr., 13. D.J. Hoelzle, 14. Joey Augilar, 15. Dude Teate.
