Smooth Operator

Mother nature finally smiled on the Citrus County Speedway Saturday night. With the forecast showing a 60% chance of rain from 5pm on, many people were left looking to the sky. But the Citrus County Speedway seemed to have a bubble over top of it Saturday night, with rain all around the speedway through the afternoon. Wet roads could be found as little as a half mile in both directions from the speedway. The rains couldn’t keep the drivers away, as 96 cars registered to compete for the evening. (more…)

Grossenbacher takes 1st win

Saturday night proved to be one of the most action packed nights of the season at the Citrus County Speedway. 79 drivers registered to compete in 5 divisions of racing on this warm summer night. These drivers put on some of the most competitive racing of the entire 2011.

A large field of 22 Super Late Models packed the pits for their 3 heat races and 35 lap feature race. The field was full of familiar faces, as well as a few new names in the 22 car feature line up. New comer T.J. Duke (28) would prove to be a quick study, as he took his sharp looking car to the front of the feature in just a few laps. Deep in the field the cars of point leader Herb Neumann Jr. (98), Scott Grossenbacher (09), Steve Dorer (110), and Anthony Sergi (20) were all furiously charging to the front. 5 cautions in the 1^st 18 laps would help these drivers all make up some ground on the leading car of Duke.

How Close Can You Get? Bubba Raceway Park Media

Jimmy Rouse -The drivers in the Top Gun Sprint Car Series, UMP Open-Wheel Modifieds, Sportsman, Barrett’s Race Cars Hobby Stocks, and Gladiators were all pushing the issue which resulted in some great action. Of course, when you push it to the limit, things can go crazy on the clay at Bubba Raceway Park.

In their long-awaited return at Bubba Raceway Park, the Sportsman ran a very exciting race with a familiar face in victory lane. The lap 6 caution came out for debris in turn 2 and allowed for hard-charging Davey Kinsey, in the 2010 championship car for Big Frog Motorsports, to catch the leaders. After the yellow break, Forrest Gough drove his 21 from the back in an impressive drive. Lap 9 saw contact result in Collin Wright’s 38 spinning and stalling in turn 2. The final 6 were green and JO Nobles absolutely dominated the event in his special Sportsman. Davey Kinsey took 2nd with Gough in 3rd. John Bradley ran a clean race and went home 4th and the same of 5th place Charlie Davis. Bill Adams, Adam Collins, and Collin Wright took the checkered flag within the top 10 while “Big Puddin” Billy Costello, with clutch troubles, and Chris Shea, who had a tire cut earlier in the race, took 9th and 10th, respectively, while in the garage.
