Back In Black

3-5-12 – The RaceCar Engineering Late Models, Hobby Stocks, and Thunderstocks will be joined by the Limited Late Models and Mini Stocks for week 2 of the 2012 season. 

Ivedent Lloyd, Jr. put his foot back on the throats of the competition with a big win last Saturday. However, JO Nobles and Johnny Collins took heat wins and could take the big show. Bo Allen worked hard over the winter as did Bryan Bernhardt and they run in the top 5 in points early. Mark Whitener flashed brilliance and could go all the way next time out.  (more…)

Herb Neumann Jr goes wire to wire in Open Wheel Modifies at Citrus County Speedway

Two weeks ago Herb Neumann Jr seemed to finally get the handle behind the wheel of the 01 Open Wheel Modified normally piloted by his son, Curtis. After Curtis moved out of state to pursue his career, father Herb decided to see what he could do behind the wheel of this proven winning machine. The first few races in the car saw Herb struggle to get the handle on the chassis, and adjust to the new type of car, after running Super Late Models for many seasons. Two weeks ago all the bugs seemed to be worked out, as driver and machine were in perfect harmony. Neumann was out front, and looked to have the fastest car on this night. But lady luck would have other plans, a flat tire under a lap 17 caution, would steal his first Open Wheel Modified victory. This week, Neumann would return, looking to avenge his bad luck. (more…)

Shelnut Wins Race Number Two of the Goodyear Challenge 12 Pack Series

After three weeks off of racing, it took a while to get the fans parked and settled into the Punta Gorda Speedway that was packed from one end to the other. After qualifying and heat races, the first feature took to the track, it was the Rookie Trucks for fifteen laps. Thirteen year old Chad Chastain from Alva sat on the pole and ran start to finish as the leader but had a hard charging Corey Bigley on his bumper till the end. Bigley usually runs the pro 4 class but got to run the 00 truck of Whitney Poole and really gave Chastain a battle to the end. It was Chastain that got to celebrate in the winners circle with Bigley coming in a hard fought second place and Kyle Case third. (more…)
