The Vortex Theory

By- Jim Rouse, BRP Media

Gambles were the theme for the RaceCar Engineering Late Models, Scorpion Racing Products Modifieds, Buddy’s Home Furnishings Limited Late Models, 1-800-ASK GARY Thunderstocks, and Barfield Law Group Mini Stocks.

First out were the Scorpion Modifieds with a thrilling 20-lapper. David Reutimann led lap 1 but could not check out on Rich Pratt and Garret Stewart. On lap 8 “The Killer” Kyle Bronson spun and made contact with “Gunslinger” Stewart. “Gunslinger” would keep his position of 3rd behind leader Reutimann and Pratt. Bronson had moved up to 6th after 3 laps when Jim Passino spun the 34 machine and nearly collected Ron Burgess who did receive his spot back. Up front “Reuti” continued to lead “Gunslinger” and Pratt who had recently traded spots. (more…)

Smoke Screens

By- Jim Rouse, BRP Media – RaceCar Engineering Late Models, Scorpion Racing Products Modifieds, Buddy’s Home Furnishings Limited Late Models, 1-800-ASK GARY Thunderstocks, and Barfield Law Group Mini Stocks will put on 5 of the best features of the season!

“The Magic Man” Mark Whitener has set up a smoke screen himself and has the Dave’s Towing #58 out in front. He returns after a big win in the Florida State Late Model Championship and will try to hold off the threats from “The Grim Reaper” Bo Allen and his Palmer Toyota team. Allen has his own battle with “Cheddar” Christian Augspurger and a good show is in store. Ivedent Lloyd, Jr. and Richard Ferry are close to the top and both know how to win at Bubba Raceway Park. Never count out a Nosbisch as 10 drivers could enter as favorites. (more…)

Another Great Night of Racing Action at Punta Gorda Speedway

You can always count on Punta Gorda Speedway to do their best to put on a great show of racing action, even when Mother Nature strikes. A shower came through during practice and it looked like the night was a wash, but the drivers were there and ready to race. The track was dried, the fans came out and they were not disappointed as you can always count on great fast and furious racing action from the PGS drivers.

First up for the night was the T.Q, Midgets that saw the 63 of Mike Belusar lead the first twenty laps with cars flying around the track on three wheels behind him. Five to go young Chris Gimmler saw his chance to get by Belusar and took it and brought the 51 machine home in the first place winners circle. Mike Belusar would settle for second while “cowboy” Rob Kohler coming out of three on three wheels would finish third. (more…)

Neumann Jr Tops Super Late Models at Citrus County Speedway

Two weeks ago Herb Neumann Jr left Citrus County Speedway with a severely damaged race car after the Florida United Promoters series 100 lap race. Neumann was making a late charge to the front when contact with the front stretch wall ended his night. The front of his racer was so badly damaged, they had to repair and weld parts back on, just to get the car in the trailer.

A short 13 car Super Late Model was lead to the green by pole sitter Eddie King Sr with Scott Grossenbacher (09) along side. King would jump out to the early lead while Grossenbacher pulled even on the outside to challenge for the lead by lap 2. (more…)
