Tampa, FL – It was another beautiful evening as the East Bay Sprints made their first appearance of the 2014 Season. Also racing were the V8 Warriors, Limited Late Models and the Motorstats.com 4 Cylinder Bombers.
First feature of the night went to the V8 Warriors. Winning their heats early on were Ryan Lisak and Kevin Cassaday. For the feature it would be Henry Wiley and Cassaday making up the front row. When the green waved it was Cassaday quickly jumping out front and taking the lead for the first three laps until Raymond Vann took over on lap four. On lap seven Vann had Jimmy Baker battling as the two were side by side at the line. On lap eight it was Wiley spinning in turn four bringing out the first caution of the race. Then on lap thirteen Mike Wilson would try to take over the second spot away from Baker only to find himself as the second caution would come out as Wilson spun in turn four. When the checkered waved Vann would pick up the win with Baker, Cassaday, Lisak and Tim Stoffel rounding out the top five. (more…)

Dave Westerman, Bithlo, FL – Orlando SpeedWorld began its 40th racing season with some brisk weather that kept fans huddled up all night, but the action they got to see was hot all night long as five racing classes were in action. The Pro Trucks headlined with several new faces in the field that also featured some veterans too. Whitney Poole and Michael Burns grabbed the heat race victories to set the stage for the headliner that would see some great action. Tyler Lau led the initial three circuits before being passed by Becca Monopoli. Burns, who started at the back of the field, worked his way up to challenge and, after some super side-by-side racing, grabbed the lead from Monopoli on lap 12. Becca came right back to lead a pair of laps before Burns used some superior handling in the center of the corners to nab the lead for good. A lap 18 caution for a Kelly Ross spin could not slow Burns as he cruised to the win despite a late charge from veteran Scott Reeves. Monopoli held on for third over Poole and Lau. Rounding out the finishers were Vince Keeler, Eddie Lichtenberger, Ross and Richard Griffis.
