Double Trouble

By- Jim Rouse, BRP Media

The RaceCar Engineering Late Models ended the first of 3 Points Sessions as did the Buddy’s Home Furnishings Limited Late Models and 1-800-ASK GARY Thunderstocks. The Rent-N-Roll Gladiators also battled but with no points on the line.

Limited Late Models started it off with a fantastic 16-lapper. On the start, however, Forrest Gough crossed it up and made contact with Kevin Mills. Both continued on but Tony Ponder, Ricky Land, and the McGillivrays found themselves tangled in turn 2. David Showers, Jr. led early but Adam Higginbotham took it at the line on lap 2. Just 3 laps later JO Nobles stole it seconds before Howard Osteen’s #80 broke and brought the yellow back out. On lap 12 as the leaders attempted to maneuver around the lapped car of Cheyanne Cox, Eddie Gainey made contact with her and as they spun David Showers had to take evasive action. (more…)

Warm-Ups And Doubles

By- Jim Rouse, Bubba Raceway Park Media

Bubba Raceway Park has just 1 more week left in the first 3-month points period of the 2012 season and also just 1 more race before the biggest race of the season- the Powell Memorial. The RaceCar Engineering Late Models will battle as will the Buddy’s Home Furnishings Limited Late Models and the Rent-N-Roll Gladiators. Of course, the hottest race, or races, will be the 2, yes, 2 features for the 1-800-ASK GARY Thunderstocks.

Ivedent Lloyd, Jr. may as well be the Dean because he nearly owns Bubba Raceway Park. He’s won from the front, mid-pack, and the final spot. Lloyd owns a 58 point lead over Mark Whitener meaning he could use the 25-lapper as a test and still keep the points lead with a start in the feature. Whitener is still seeking that elusive Powell Memorial victory so that begs the question- will the Big Frog Motorsports crew be testing for the June Spectacle or are points the way to go? (more…)

Pancoast and Morris Remain Undefeated

Sad news had lingered in the air all night as word of a member of the PGS racing family had been injured in a race at another track. Punta Gorda Speedway owners and staff continue to keep the Morr family in their thoughts and prayers. It was tough staying focused on the nights racing events but some great talent showed up to put on some of the best racing action.

First feature of the night was the Cowboy Cadillacs and Jeff Debble of Port Charlotte tried again to hold off Stuart Vandevender as they battled for the lead. (more…)

Six Grand Reasons

By- Jim Rouse

Top Gun Sprint Cars, Scorpion Racing Products Modifieds, Hobby Stocks, 1-800-ASK GARY Thunderstocks, Barfield Law Group Mini Stocks, and Rent-N-Roll Gladiators battled for points and cash on Night Of A Thousands.

Hobby Stocks started the night off with a 20 lap battle. Devin Walker spun to avoid Trevor Gamble’s rare spin as Howard O’Steen, Mark Maresca, and Don Woosley led the field. Just 1 lap later Kyle Morse got loose and after contact with Ronnie Whitley he smacked the wall ending driver #82’s night. As the laps wound down it looked as if O’Steen had it but with just 4 to go the 88H broke ending the strongest run of his career. Rodney Wright took the win as Darran Jackson, Chad Scranton, Mike Stalnaker, and Mark Maresca completed a solid top 5.

The Scorpion Racing Products Modifieds were 2nd and a good show it was. Larry Mott spun on lap 1 from 2nd and took Scott Mooers, Kyle Bronson, Chuck Gustafson, Jr., Ronald Soltis, Mark Whitener, Jim Passino, Jeff Mathews, and Garret Stewart with him. The damages for Stewart, and Gustafson were terminal. However, Dalton Lanich was leading with Passino and Tyler Clem giving chase. Lanich started to pull away but slowly making ground was Buzzie Reutimann. (more…)
