Punta Gorda Speedway Puts Another Great Night in the Books

It was a great night for racing at the Punta Gorda Speedway as they start the 2012 race season off early this year. This was the second race of the year that normally would start after the big Daytona race but speedway owner Kevin Williams decided to mix things up this year and start the season early. With so many visitors from up north, why not give them something to do on Saturday night when the weather is beautiful and then shut down during the summer for two months when it rains and the heat is unbearable at times. Williams also looks over the race card for the night and doesn’t mind changing things up to give the fans a great show and Saturday was one that had the fans on the edge of their seat the entire night.

Punta Gorda Speedways opening night was “Super”

Photos by Robert Howell – Was it going to work, opening up in January, for the 2012 season with just a month or so off, is it going to be to cold, did the race teams have time to freshen up their cars. Speedway owner Kevin Williams took a chance this year and decided to open up the new season early and then is taking a chance of closing down for July and Aug when it is the hottest and rains a lot. Let the drivers take time off to be with their families and a break from the hot summer months and lets just see what happens.

It was opening night and the weather was beautiful and fans came out in mass quantity to see some of the best super late model drivers in the state compete for 100 laps and they did not go home disappointed. (more…)

Dec. 17th, 2011 –It was the final night of the 2011 Season as two Championships were left to decide and the final Late Model event of the year going to the Donnie Tanner Memorial Series race #4 paying $3,000 to win.

The first feature of the night went to the Outlaw 4’s. Jesse Brown held an eighteen point lead over second place Nick Hebrank. Hebrank started on the pole with Brown starting in the ninth spot. When the green flag dropped, Billy Howard shot to the front after starting in the fourth spot. Howard was leading when the second caution came out on lap four for debris. But it was also bad news for Brown as he took his car to the pits and never returned, but still held the points lead. (more…)

East Bay DART Winternationals News and Notes

WAYCROSS, GA (December 15, 2011) – For the 8th consecutive year, the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series will sanction the DART Winternationals at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa, FL. The 36th Annual DART Winternationals will be held from Sunday, February 12th to Saturday, February 18th. This year’s events at the famed “Clay by the Bay” will kick off a little later than usual, moving back to the second full week in February. Each night, holtaps will begin at 6:00PM, with a full show to follow. The decision to push back the start times will serve fans and competitors well, allowing local fans to catch more of the action each night. Travelling fans will get to explore the greater Tampa Bay area and see the sights before heading to the track. For the competitors, the new start times will allow less laps on the track while the sun is still beating down on it, keeping the track nice and tacky all night long. (more…)
