Beckner crowned Sportsman King of the Blacktop
Heading into Saturday night’s Sportsman King of the Blacktop 100 at Desoto
Speedway, Earl Beckner had a simple strategy: ride in the top 15 and then
get to the top 10 to get to the final 20-lap shootout.
Beckner did just that, finishing in the top 10 in the first segment and
landing in the perfect spot for the inversion of the final segment of the
elimination-style race. That gameplan – coupled with a little help from
Lady Luck – saw Beckner take the main event and earn the crown of King of
the Blacktop for the Sportsman for 2016. (more…)

Hogan, McLeod take big wins at Desoto
The long awaited regular season opener at Desoto Speedway saw a packed house treated to an action packed night of racing that saw Scott Hogan claim the Pro Truck “King of the Blacktop” title and Devin McLeod take the Florida Modified Invitational 100.
In the Q Auto and Injury Attorneys Desoto Pro Truck main event, Hogan started on the pole and grabbed the lead at the start of the opening 50-lap segment from Jeff Guilbault and Steve Darvalics. He held a slim lead when the caution flew for Cameron Cruse’s spin in turn one just after the field completed 11 laps.
Hogan withstood a series of challenges on a rash of restarts over the next 14 laps. Darvalics made a move for the lead and had just cleared Hogan before the caution flew at the halfway point – meaning that Hogan would keep the lead for the next restart – a restart that saw four trucks eliminated in a crash as the field came to the green flag.
Darvalics and Danny Anderson took shots at Hogan for the lead, but Hogan held on to win the segment. After a 5-minute break, Hogan led every lap of a caution-free, 30-lap second segment. (more…)

Rain Washes Out Monday’s New Smyrna Feature Action
Mother Nature had been quite kind to New Smyrna Speedway so far during the 2016 World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing, but apparently Monday evening something rubbed her the wrong way.
Rain showers, which bucked the trend of seasonable temperatures and sunny skies throughout the first three nights of World Series action, washed away Monday’s feature racing action. A drenching rain came seven laps into the night’s first feature, a 35-lapper for the Florida Modified division, which forced officials to pull the plug on the rest of the events.
Monday’s features, including the Florida Modified race, will not be rescheduled. The only change to the schedule resulting from Monday’s rain out is that the Tour-Type Modifieds, who were to make their 2016 World Series debut Monday night, will now have a 50-lap feature Tuesday instead of the regularly-scheduled 35. The Tour-Type Modifieds will start as they qualified and on the same tires on which they time trialed earlier in the day Monday. (more…)
