Foley tops Modified Mini’s at Citrus County Speedway

For anyone who has visited the Citrus County Speedway over the past 3 years, the name Clint Foley is very familiar to fans and foes alike.

Saturday night, Foley would start in an all to familiar position, the last row of the field. Brad Blanton (14) and Chris Snow (29) would bring the field to the green flag. Their time at the front of the field would be short lived as 7^th place starter Mark Powers (69) would power his way to the front of the pack. Behind him, 5^th starter Rick Kuhn (47) and Foley (7) were making their way through the field. (more…)

SpeedWeeks Ends Quickly

By- Jimmy Rouse, Bubba Raceway Park Media

The UNOH All Star Circuit of Champions and the Hobby Stocks battled hard as SpeedWeeks came to a close.

No one could’ve written a better script for the finale. Lap 1 saw Howard O’Steen and Mark Maresca spin out of turn 4 to slow the Hobby Stock feature. Doran Cheney would do the same 5 laps later. The top 3 of Tim Gay, Devin Walker, and Brian Morgan were slowed on lap 17 a total of 3 times. First when John Clark stopped in turn 1. Second for Grady Christian’s spin out of turn 2. The final when Jeff Barrett and John Clark spun out of 4. The lead never changed hands with a feel-good story win for Devin Walker. Gay was 2nd with Morgan, Kevin Durden, and Rodney Wright behind him.

A 30 lap feature saw Kistler Engines Fast Qualifier Dave Gravel start 4th after his 12.894 second lap. On lap 5 the leader, Tim Shaffer, ran into lapped traffic, literally, and bounced off the turn 1 wall ending his night. (more…)

Ive been lucky enough to qualify well and put myself in a position to start up front. Qualifying has been the name of the game down here, said Blaney beside his George Fisher owned, Ti22 Performance backed machine. (more…)
