Troy DeCaire Wins TBARA at New Smyrna

by Marty Little

NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. – Troy DeCaire, fresh off a sixth place finish in the Little 500, paced all 30 laps to win the TBARA winged sprint car feature event Saturday night at New Smyrna Speedway.

DeCaire hustled into the lead from his outside front row starting spot but things went all wrong as the 15 car field worked lap one. Dude Teate’s mount suddenly lost power and he was tagged by Joey Augilar with Ben Fritz also involved. A red flag was needed to clean up the mess with the cars of Teate and Aguilar both finished for the evening. Fritz’s mount only suffered minor damage and was able to continue.

When the green flag waved again it was all DeCaire aboard George Rudolph’s No. 68 as he expertly worked the paper clip shaped half mile with precision. A yellow flag on lap 23 for a blown engine in Bo Hartley’s mount regrouped the field but there was no stopping DeCaire this night as he motored away at the drop of the green to record his third TBARA main event victory of the season.

Veteran Sonny Hartley drove a steady race to collect runner-up honors over Larry Brazil, Brian Gingras and Tommy Nichols while heat race wins went to D.J. Hoelzle and DeCaire.

The tour next heads to DeSoto Super Speedway on June 19.

Feature (30 laps) – 1. Troy DeCaire, 2. Sonny Hartley, 3. Larry Brazil, 4. Brian Gingras, 5. Tommy Nichols, 6. Johnny Gilbertson, 7. Bobby Rose, 8. Shane Butler, 9. Ben Fritz, 10. Bo Hartley, 11. Sonny O’Sullivan, 12. Larry Brazil, Jr., 13. D.J. Hoelzle, 14. Joey Augilar, 15. Dude Teate.

Bernhardt Wins Second Consecutive Feature Event in Racecar Engineering Late Models at East Bay

By: Jason Loughren

06/05/2010

It was another great Saturday night for racing at the Clay by the Bay. The heat index was around 100 degrees and there were around 100 cars signed in ready to race. With the start of June comes the summer stretch of racing where points championships can be won or lost. There were 4 great classes of racing on hand for the festivities.

The Outlaw 4’s hit the track first. Billy Howard used a last lap pass to take the win from Mathew Haynes. The win was Howard’s third win of the season. Haynes finished 2^nd. Jessie Brown earned his second top-5 of the season with a 3^rd place finish. Larry Stepp and Steven Hohlbaugh rounded out the top-5. Howard and Chris Zimmerman won the heat race.

In the Gagel’s Open Wheel Modified 15 lap feature event John Bradley started on the front row and dominated the feature event leading from flag to flag. The win was Bradley’s 2^nd in a row and 2^nd of the season. Austin Sanders had a strong run and battled to a 2^nd place finish. Roger Crouse started 3^rd and finished 3^rd. Bobby Dixon finished 4^th. Garret Stewart started 10^th and finished 5^th.   Sanders and Dixon were victorious in the heat races.

In the Racecar Engineering Late Models Brian Bernhardt won his second Racecar Engineering Late Model Feature event in a row. Bernhardt started back in the 10^th place and quickly made his way using the outside line to the lead. David Schmauss started 6^th and finished 2^nd. Travis Varnadore started 10^th and finished 3^rd. Steve Miller finished 4^th.   Paul Gibbs rounded out the top-5 with a strong run. Bernhardt, Jimmy Waldrop and Schmauss won the heats.

The Motorstats.com 4 cylinder bombers were back in action after a weekend off as 28 cars took the green flag in their 15 lap feature event.   Patrick Tabb, Jr. held off Troy Dittebrand for the what appeared to be a win in exciting fashion. Tabb, Jr. and Dittebrand were DQ’d in post race inspection for not having owner manuals with their vehicles. The DQ’s gave the win to Mathew Odell which was his first of the year.   Kever Raulerson was a credited with 2^nd place. Robert Purcell started 27^th and finished 3^rd. Darrell Taylor finished 4^th. Jimmy Odell rounded out the top-5. Dittebrand, Darrell Taylor and Johnnie Alexander won the heat races.

Steve Ashmore won the Fan Participation Races at intermission.

Volusia Speedway Park Rained Out June 5, 2010

by VSP Media

BARBERVILLE, FL- Summer in Florida means that the sea breezes often collide and create thunderstorms and showers, and sometimes those rains get in the way of activities like racing. Despite an afternoon downpour that dampened Volusia Speedway Park at about 3PM, everything was set for the gates to open for Budweiser Modified Mania, plus action from the Taylor Racing Products Sportsman Division, the Daytona Sportswear Street Stocks, the Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants Thunder Stocks, and the Challenger Division. While the track was very wet, the Volusia Speedway track crew was working feverishly to get the clay into shape for racing action, until nature intervened.

A heavy thunderstorm erupted just west of Astor, Florida, and moved eastward along highway 40 toward Volusia Speedway Park, striking the facility at around 5PM. Intense lightning preceded the storm, knocking out internet service to the track and also interrupting power for about 15 minutes, before heavy rains erased all hope of racing. The deluge pushed the clay beyond the point where it could be worked into shape, especially with the short time remaining before racing was scheduled to begin.

So Volusia Speedway Park will try again next Saturday night, June 12th, marking the mid season point with all six divisions racing for double points. There will also be racer autograph sessions for the fans, plus much more. For more information, please visit www.VolusiaSpeedwayPark.net.

Cobb Takes the 15th Annual Powell Memorial

by BJ Cavin-Ocala Speedway Media

All Photos Courtesy of rewingphotos.com

OCALA, FL- The 15th Annual Powell Memorial seemed destined to be a special race. First, on a day when the forecast was for a 70% chance of thunderstorms, nary a drop fell at Ocala Speedway. Secondly, most of the brightest and best late model racers in the region came to Florida’s oldest speedway with the Sunoco United Dirt Late Model Challenge Series to race in the event. And last, but certainly not least, James Powell III was again in attendance for the most prestigious late model race in the region, in order to carry on with the memory of the family members whom he lost so tragically.

Anyone who allowed the weather forecast to frighten them away from Ocala Speedway missed what probably was the greatest and most exciting Powell Memorial ever run. It was a race that featured multiple lead changes, plus many more position swaps and changes throughout the top ten cars during the 75 lap race. And even the drama of those who failed to start the main event, or who managed to salvage a respectable finish from near disaster.

David Clegg’s night ended in his heat race when his car rode the wall in turn one toward turn two. Clegg’s machine then climbed the barrier between turns one and two, straddling the top of the wall and destroying the warning signal on that end of the track. While the track crews worked to extricate Clegg’s car from the top of the wall, the veteran racer was left to walk back to the pit area to end his night. (more…)

WRIGHT III, DUNKIN & THOMPSON AMONG SATURDAY NIGHT WINNERS AT AUBURNDALE SPEEDWAY

by Dave Westerman

Despite rain all around the speedway earlier in the day and it being a holiday weekend, fans still turned out in big numbers for the action Saturday night at Auburndale Speedway. The earlier rain storms turned out to be a blessing in disguise as by race time the air was cool while the racing was as hot as ever.

Easily the best race of the night turned out to be the Super Stock feature. Defending champion James Wright III and Kyle Peters won the heats and with Wright on the pole for the 20-lapper, everyone thought it would be another runaway for the Lakeland hot shoe with the exception of Peters. (more…)
