Florida Untied Pro-Truck Series Returns to Action this Saturday Night !

Orlando FL – After a summer break the Florida United Pro-Truck series gets back to action this Saturday night at Citrus County Speedway. The previous event at Citrus was said by many to be one of the best short track races they had seen in a long time and best truck race they had ever seen. Great door to door action throughout the field was seen by the great crowd on hand.

” We had a great race the last time hear and our group of drivers have put on action filled events at every track, but Citrus just stands out as one of the best. I am hoping and expecting more of the same this time” said series director Rick Bristol.

” We also have added Shawn Reutimann to the team and he will be the race director going forward. His experience as a spotter for cousin David Reutimann in the Nascar trucks, nationwide and cup series will help him tremendously and he is a fair and professional guy, I am really happy to have him on board.

The Fight For First

Jim Rouse, BRP Media, 9-3-12 Ocala, FL – As we begin the 7th month of our 9 month points-paying season at Bubba Raceway Park we have a spectacular show in store. The Hobby Stocks, 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks, and Rent-N-Roll Gladiators will not only run their regular events but they will make up the rained-out features from mid-July. These races will be run in the sequence of Feature-Heat-Feature. Joining these 3 exciting divisions will be the Powder Puff Derby and the Demolition Derby!

So, after 6 months of racing Rodney Wright has a 32 point advantage over Trevor Gamble. They’ve had 16 features; how much closer can you get? Mike Stalnaker has been masterful with his under-powered equipment and a win is just around the corner and no one will be surprised. In 4th is Mark Maresca who, up until his last race, had been flying under the radar. Last time he was flying up front until he barrel-rolled the 77M. In 5th is Hunter Gustafson who has shown determination and improvement in his #15. Though the title contenders are very strong, he could find Coors Light Winner’s Circle and will be a massive threat for the title in 2013. (more…)

Antioch Speedway Hosts World of Outlaws on Monday, Sept. 10

Kinser claimed the inaugural event at the action-packed, 3/8-mile track last season

ANTIOCH, Calif. – Aug. 30, 2012 – After a successful audition at Antioch Speedway last year, the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series heads back to the 3/8-mile track this season.

The Outlaws will compete at the facility on Monday, Sept. 10, to wrap up the California Outlaw Speedweek, which features five races in as many days at three different tracks.

“I expect us to come back in there and have a good car again,” said Sammy Swindell, who set the track record of 11.563 seconds last season. “Since that was the first time there we’ll know a little more about what we need to do when we get there this time.”

Steve Kinser won the action-packed event, which featured a variety of problems for cars battling for the lead. Swindell’s engine shut off after colliding with a car in traffic. Lucas Wolfe spun out amid trouble in traffic after leading the first 11 laps. Craig Dollansky assumed the lead, but ended by flipping shortly after being passed for the top spot by Kinser.

“It’s actually quite exciting,” Kerry Madsen said. “Obviously it’s got its unique challenges, so looking for a good result there.”

Tickets can be ordered online by clicking WorldofOutlaws.com/tickets or by calling 877-395-8606.
