MOXLEY ROLLS TO MODIFIED WIN AT ORLANDO SPEEDWORLD

Orlando SpeedWorld was back in action Friday night with six classes putting on some great racing for the fans. Headlining the show were the Open Wheel Modifieds and it was veteran driver Ricky Moxley of Hobe Sound taking his first win of the year in fine fashion by leading every circuit of the 25-lap feature. Mosley breezed to the front on
the opening lap trailed by heat winner Zach Harris who stayed close for awhile before Moxley steadily began to pull away. The race ran the full distance under green and Moxley took the checker in front of Harris and Travis Roland. Earl Beckner was fourth ahead of Alan Bruns, Matt Wheeler and Austin Howell.

Becca Monopoli of Lakeland won her second straight Pro Truck feature leading all but the opening lap. The only slow-down of the race came on lap seven when the engine expired in Whitney Poole’s truck while she was running second. Eddie Lichtenberger would end up finishing in the runner-up spot ahead of Kelly Ross and Poole. Monopoli also won the heat race.

Young Charles King, Jr. passed Shane Sutorus on lap four of the Four Cylinder Stock main event and never looked back in winning the first-ever feature race of his brief career. Driving a Chevy Cavalier, King easily outdistance the Saturn station wagon of Sutorus to take the victory. Zachary Curtis, also in a Saturn, was third ahead of Paul Cornelius and John Gross. Damien Kwaak, Jeff Gross, Red Ryder and Kendra Reynolds rounded out the finishers. King was also the heat race winner. (more…)

KORPI TOPS E-MOD 50 – LIRA WINS IN PRO LATES AT NEW SMYRNA SPEEDWAY

Photo Courtesy of Jim Jones Photography

It was a nice and breezy Easter Eve at New Smyrna Speedway Saturday night and along with a big Easter Egg hunt for the kids, there was plenty of great Stock Car Racing action for both young and old alike. The big event of the evening was a 50-lap showdown for the E-Modifieds and it was defending track champion Jarrett Korpi of Deltona making it known early on that his would be the car to beat as he topped the rest of the competitors in qualifying with a lap of 19.367 seconds with Earl “Junior” Beckner his closest challenger at 19.542.
The pill draw was a two that meant Korpi and Beckner would simply swap starting spots on the front row for the feature. At the drop of the green, Korpi wasted little time taking the top spot while Beckner was forced to come from the back of the starting grid because he was late to line up on pit road. Korpi continued to set a hot pace but Cody Blair was not far behind in second until his car shut off on lap seven and he coasted to a stop. Blair made it back to the pits where his crew quickly diagnosed the problem and he returned to the race. Korpi maintained his advantage following the restart but Beckner was now up to second and beginning to apply some pressure. Roger Benton spun in turn two on lap 16 to bring out the yellow once again. On the restart, Beckner powered to the front and began to pull away. On lap 35, Beckner got loose and spun coming off turn two but managed not to hit anything or be collected by anyone else. Beckner restarted from the rear of the field leaving Korpi in charge once again. From that point, Korpi pretty much had it in cruise control as he claimed his third win of the new season over Blair and Matthew Green. Beckner, battling an extremely loose race car, held on to take fourth just ahead of Robert Glover. Benton, Jim Higginbotham, Mike Dahm, Jon Compagnone and George Dahm rounded out the finishing field.

Chastain takes second straight win at Desoto Speedway

By SCOTT LOCKWOOD

Desoto Speedway

When it comes to Pro Truck racing at Desoto Speedway, Chad Chastain seems to have figured out the quick way around the three-eighths mile oval early this season.

In a near replay of last month’s Pro Truck feature, Chastain grabbed the lead at around the halfway point of the 50-lap feature and drove on to his second straight win at the Bradenton raceway.

Outside polesitter Gerald Campbell grabbed the lead at the start and led a four-truck freight train around the track for the first 20 laps. Chastain moved past Darvalics for second on lap 16 and began stalking Campbell for the lead.

As the field completed the 22nd lap, Campbell and Chastain ran up on the back of a lapped car. Darvalics, running third at the time, made slight contact with Chastain coming off turn 2, causing Chastain to spin wildly down the back stretch. Race officials sent Darvalics to the rear of the field while Chastain was allowed to keep his spot in second.

On the restart, Campbell, Chastain and Bradenton’s Danny Anderson battled for the lead. One lap later, Campbell lost control of his truck coming out of turn two. The spin also collected Anderson, whose truck was not badly damaged and was allowed to resume the race in second place. (more…)
