Car Warz Returns to Ocala Speedway Friday Night

by Jimmy Rouse- Ocala Speedway Media

 
Ocala Speedway takes a break from divisional racing to make up Car Warz, the event that was washed-out on September 24th. What they did run that night was a success, as RV Dave successfully t-boned the van, and the 4-cylinder enduro race on ‘mud’ was exciting. Johnny Alexander got the better of Curtis Clark and beat him for the enduro trophy. Car Warz will run everything else they were going too, including: the MotorHome demolition derby, front wheel drive demolition derby, chain race, flagpole race, boat and trailer race, dirt figure 8 race, and a reverse race. Plus, to make up for the enduro, the Gladiators will run an exciting event as well. Ocala Speedway deems Car Warz as a special event, therefore the prices are set accordingly. You can check the prices by calling Ocala Speedway or by checking out www.ocalaspeedway.com.

OPEN WHEEL MODIFIEDS BACK IN ACTION SATURDAY NIGHT AT AUBURNDALE SPEEDWAY

by Dave Westerman

 Saturday night racing action at Auburndale Speedway will see the return of the Open Wheel Modified cars along with racing in the Modified Mini Stocks, Street Stocks, V-8 Bombers and Scramblers.

James Wright III takes a healthy 110 point lead into this weeks Open Wheel Modified 40-lap headliner. Bobby Blake currently sits second in points but has a margin of just six over third place Wayne Morris. Wright, Blake, Keith Lilley and Kyle Bookmiller all have two wins to their credit this year while Morris has had one visit to victory lane. Wright’s consistency with several second and third place finishes has him well in front of his competitors though. Lilley is coming off a win in the most recent OWM event, but a couple of DNF’s have hurt him in the standings. Bookmiller has been absent from recent events, but his strong early season showing still has him seventh in points.

The Modified Mini Stock point chase will come down to which one of three drivers can put together the best performance in the few races that remain. Scotty Sharpe has regained the point lead and sits 20 markers ahead of Jason Rendell who had engine trouble the last time out. Mike Sweet is still very much in the hunt as he’s in third spot only two points behind Rendell.

Rookie driver Matt McCrary continues to be winless in his first season of Street Stock racing, but his consistent top five finishes have him up by 30 points over Jeff Waterman, the only driver left who could possibly take the 2010 title away from him. Recent tough luck has third place Dave Colpritt well behind the lead duo and fourth place James Wright III is now just 30 behind Colpritt.

Josh Borem had another rough week last week but still holds a 64 point advantage over Buddy Phillips, Jr. in V-8 Bomber points. Meanwhile, Preston Davis took his fourth win last week and remains third in points by 96 over James Wright, Jr.

Kimberly Gullett has increased her point lead in the Scrambler class to 78 over Brian Tyre who continues to have late-season problems. Richard Brown has closed to within ten points of Tyre for second place.

Pit gates open at 2PM Saturday afternoon with grandstand gates opening at 5PM. Racing starts promptly at 7PM. Adult admission is $12, seniors are $10, kids 5-12 are $5 and children age 4 and under are free. Family four-packs (2 adults – 2 kids 5-12) are $25. For more information, log on to www.auburndaleracing.com powered by Palm Tree Computers.

All kids aged 10 and under will, as usual, get an extra ticket when the enter the track from “Lindsey’s Little Racers” that makes them eligible for a pair of prize packs being donated this week by NASCAR driver Joe Nemechek and NEMCO Motorsports. Also, 40 lucky kids will win a free ice cream from the concession stand thanks to Street Stock driver Jeff Waterman and OWM/Late Model/Truck drivers Keith Lilley and Wally Warrick.

Seat cushions are now available for fans courtesy of Aaron’s and the new Auburndale Speedway T-shirts from Royal-Tees are on sale at the track. Adults wearing their t-shirt to the track get $2 off their admission!!
