Well, sometimes the best laid plans go down the drain. Our “Whataburger Night of Champions” was rained out on September 29th, and thus re-scheduled for this Friday Night, October 12th. The same great program is on tap and should bring the 2012 Regular Season to a roaring close. The Allen Turner Series Championship will become official at the conclusion of Friday Night’s Whataburger 100. Likewise for the Open Wheel Modifieds, the West Florida Coatings Sportsmen, and the Butler U Pull-It Bombers, as all Divisions will wrap it up for 2012. Additionally, a sneak preview is still on tap for the Pro Truck Division.
Anthony Campi returned to The Florida United Promoters Series Saturday night and put on show as he picked his way through the field using the outside lane. Starting outside the third row after the draw, the outside lane failed to advance at the start. Stephen Nasse took advantage of his P1 starting position and took off to be unchallenged for 71 laps until Campi ran him down. Picking off the competition one by one he took command and was on his way to his first FUPS victory of 2012. The race was caution free until lap 88 when Jonthan Guy and points leader Steve Dorer touched getting into turn one, the both spun and backed in to the wall doing heavy damage to both, Dorer would be finished for the night. Once they restarted it was clear sailing for Campi, Nasse held on for 2nd followed by Jesse Dutilly, Michael Smith & Anthony Sergi rounding out the top five.

With only 40 days left until the 47th annual running of the Florida Governor’s Cup 200, all eyes of the New Smyrna Speedway Super Late Model drivers, also known as “The Florida Mafia”, are staring at the border, eagerly awaiting this year’s challengers. In 2011 it was 15 year old phenom, Michigan driver, Erik Jones who took the challenge and it paid off in a big way. Jones led all 200 laps in a flawless performance against a full field of seasoned drivers leaving racers and race fans alike stunned. It had been a 30 year streak for the “Mafia” reigning supreme and defending their race. The last outsider to do it, in 1981, was fellow Michigan native Mike Eddy.
