Thanks to Florida’s Barn, the Open Wheel Modified class will have a little extra money in their purse Saturday night at Auburndale Speedway. Saturday’s
40 lap headliner will now pay $700 to win along with $500 for second and $400 for third place. Along with the Modifieds, the Modified Mini Stocks, Street Stocks, Mini Stocks, Scramblers and V-8 Bombers will also be in action.
Although James Wright III has yet to win this year in the Open Wheel Modified class, he now has hold of the point lead in the class. Wayne Morris, who failed to show for the last race, has dropped to third in the standings. Wright has a decent 80 point edge on two-time winner Bobby Blake while Morris is 14 markers in back of Blake. Wright III has used consistency to snare the top spot in the standings. In eight races, Wright has finished second three times and third twice. Travis Roland has been the hottest driver in the class during the last three events with a win, a second and a fourth place finish to his credit.
The Street Stock point battle continues to heat up. After both Matt McCrary and Jeff Waterman had bad nights last week, race winner Dave Colpritt has closed to within shouting distance of the two leaders. McCrary, who had his first win in the bag last week before hitting the wall with less than two laps to go, still leads by 16 over Waterman who had to battle a sick engine all evening last Saturday. Colpritt’s win moved him to within 44 points of the lead.
Modified Mini Stock point leader Scotty Sharpe is coming of his first win in the class last time out. The point battle in the class is far from over as Jason Rendell sits just 12 back of Sharpe and just two points separate Rendell from third place Mike Sweet.
The fight for the Mini Stock point title is still a two-man show with Chris Spring leading Fred Harrison, Jr. by 30. Together, the pair have won 15 of the 20 features run so far this year. Jason Swilley should take over third in points this week from Chris Narmore, Sr. who is no longer active in the class.
Brian Tyre is the new point leader in the Scrambler division after previous point leader Kim Gullett’s car was DQ’d after an apparent win last week. Tyre still has only a six point edge on Gullett who vows to be back on top again after this week. Chad Cutting continues to lurk in third spot, 64 points out of first. The class continues to be very competitive as there have been 11 different winners in the 15 races held.
The once huge point lead of Josh Borem has now been trimmed to just 50 in the V-8 Bombers. Borem has not raced in over a month and Buddy Phillips, Jr.
has been steadily eating away at Borem’s advantage.
There will be open practice for all divisions Thursday evening from 5-8PM. Cost is $10 per person. Saturday, pit gates open at 2PM, grandstands open at
5PM, Open Wheel Modified qualifying will be at 7PM followed by all the racing action. Adult admission is $12, seniors are $10, kids 5-12 are $5 and children 4 and under are free. Family packs are $25.
All kids aged 10 and under will receive an extra ticket from “Lindsey’s Little Racers” and will be eligible for two great prize packs donated by Martha Nemecheck & Chek Motorsports. Twenty free ice creams will also be up for grabs courtesy of Street Stock drivers Dave Colpritt and Jerrell Cook.

Invitation Only Test Proves to be a Stepping Stone for Owens
HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. (July 30, 2010) – Alli Owens has taken another stride in her career path towards racing’s top series. Owens completed a two-day test session with Roush Fenway Racing at Rockingham (N.C.) Speedway, turning fast laps at the one-mile oval and the short track among seven participants.
Owens, along with six other drivers, was invited to test with the Roush Fenway Racing R&D team on July 27 and 28 at Rockingham Speedway. The participants were tested on all aspects of a driver’s responsibilities, which included on-track and off-track undertakings.
A NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Ford Fusion housing a Nationwide Series engine was supplied by Roush Fenway Racing for the drivers to use throughout the session. Drivers Matt Kenseth and David Ragan, along with Roush Fenway Racing crew and management, were on-hand to help assess the up-and-coming talent. Drivers were gauged on their lap times, consistency, car handling diagnosis and team communication.
“It’s one thing to be invited to something like this, but another if you pay attention and take this opportunity as a tremendous learning experience,” Owens expressed. “It seemed like I learned a world of knowledge about NASCAR Sprint Cup racing. I gave it 110% during the two days and I’m thankful for the opportunity.”
Owens showed her potential to reach the next level while piloting the Ford in a structured test session at the half-mile oval track known as Little Rock and the one-mile Rockingham Speedway.
In addition to driving duties, Owens and the other drivers were tested in a variety of media settings. They were scored on their ability to represent a sponsor and communicate their message.
“I am so impressed with the entire Roush Fenway Racing organization,” said Owens. “It was an honor to be invited and participate in the test. They are very careful in selecting who represents them, on and off the track, and I’m thrilled that I had the chance to work with them.
“I learned so much at the test. The data acquisition was incredible. It was amazing to see how detailed the information was and how the crew interpreted it. The entire team was fantastic to work with. They were extremely professional and very talented. I feel like I left the track a better driver than when I arrived, thanks to them.”
Owens currently pilots the No. 15 ElectrifyingCareers.com Chevrolet fielded by Venturini Motorsports in the ARCA Series. She raced Quarter Midgets, Mini Stock and Late Model series before graduating to the ARCA Series in 2008.
After a long break that was dictated by scheduling and weather, the Late Model Division hit the clay at Ocala on July 23 as the 2009 Late Model Champion, J.O. Nobles, held off Ivedent Lloyd to grab an impressive win. But despite those heroics that had the crowd cheering loudly for the yellow number 18, Nobles is still playing second fiddle in the points standings while Mark Whitener retains the top spot. Whitener drove the Dave’s Towing number 58 to a third place finish on the 23rd, and will certainly be a factor this Friday night. And while Nobles lacks only 27 points in his effort to unseat Whitener, the 2010 Powell Memorial winner, Phillip Cobb, is only six points in back of Nobles going into this week’s feature event.
Michael Stalnaker has returned to the top ranks of the Amsoil V8 Thunder Stocks, and made a statement of his own last Friday by clawing his way from a 14th starting position to battle it out with Scott Mooers for a well deserved win. That makes two victories in a row for Stalnaker, who now has a 20 point advantage over Jerrid Bennett in the 2010 points standings. Bennett has fought his way through adversity lately just as Stalnaker did earlier in the season, and came away with a fifth place finish on Friday night which padded a 50 point advantage over EBD Racing’s Chris Shea, who also has had a run of misfortune lately. So as the summer break looms the question is whether Jerrid Bennett can fight his way back toward the top, and if he can, will Mike Stalnaker be able to continue his recent domination of the division?
After repeated setbacks, injuries, and other calamities that never allowed Keith Briggs to finish a Mini Stock race in 2010, the 19T machine rolled onto the clay at Ocala Speedway on July 23rd and put all of that in the past. Briggs not only finished the race, he won it convincingly, and served notice that while he may not be a threat to win a championship this season, he certainly can win any race that he enters no matter who controls the points. The 2009 Mini Stock Champion, Paul Combast, holds a 14 point advantage over Dan Kerr going into this week’s race, and hopes to build on that lead by finishing in front of the Kerr machines each week. But in order to do that he must also deal with Briggs, as the 19T will factor into the remaining races on the schedule.
Steven Johnson was on top of the Ocala Speedway Gladiator Division just a few weeks ago, but lousy luck and great racing from Casey Feaster ended his time at the top as Feaster had a week as the points leader at two top Florida dirt tracks. But last Friday Casey Feaster was missing from the field as a mechanical issue with his personal car left him stranded, and that allowed young Devin Walker to scramble his way into the top spot with a third place finish. Meanwhile Matt Shea was awarded the win last Friday after technical violations disqualified two finishers, and trails Walker by a mere 6 points going into this week’s race while Feaster plummeted to 50 points out of first. So will we have the third different points leader in three weeks of action? Not if Devin Walker can help it, but Matt Shea may have something to say about that as well.
The grandstand gates will open this Friday at 5PM, with heat racing scheduled for 8PM. For more information, please visit www.OcalaSpeedway.com, where the updated schedule should be posted within the next two to three weeks.

BARBERVILLE, FL- After a weekend off Volusia Speedway Park is back in action this Saturday night and officially welcoming the Dog Days of Summer with the 3rd Annual Wiener Nationals. This popular event pits “wiener dog” against “wiener dog, ” or Dachshund against Dachshund if one prefers, in a race to award the fastest dog in the pack. Fans will also see exciting action from Volusia’s Budweiser Modifieds, the Taylor Racing Products Sportsman Division, the Daytona Sportswear Street Stocks, the Amsoil Thunder Stocks, and the 4 Cylinder Challengers.
Shaun Daugharty showed up in a pristine race car on July 24th and left the track early with that same car wadded up on a trailer. Such has been the sort of luck that has befallen the early season points leader in the Taylor Racing Products Sportsman Division, as he enjoyed great success and then became the victim of lousy luck from mid season on. Meanwhile Aaron Barsness has taken advantage of Daugharty’s woes and taken over the points lead by 87points as Daugharty relentlessly continues to give chase, and if Daugharty can get his luck back on track he has a legitimate shot at regaining what he lost. With time off for some healing and repairs, Shaun Daugharty should be refreshed and recharged for another shot at Barsness this Saturday night.
Philip Brown remains in control of the points race with the Daytona Sportswear Street Stocks, but Tim Hughes still lurks at 70 points behind him despite some misfortunes as of late. Meanwhile, Cory Hupp is running strong, as is Mike Tovet and Bubba Christian, and though they may not in the lead pack of the points race, they certainly will have an effect on the numbers as the season continues. And if Hughes can avert further troubles and keep things tight between himself and Brown, he still has a solid shot at a season championship in 2010.
The one division where there may not be any hope of upsetting the status quo looks to be the Amsoil Thunder Stocks, where Scott Mooers has his boot firmly planted on the throat of the entire division. But while he holds a 168 point advantage over Luke Sadler in the points race, Mooers has not been winning races as Chad Scranton has made himself the man to beat each week. That is, until Philip Brown jumped into David Whitt’s race car and pulled an exciting upset on July 17th. Brown will most likely be sticking to the Street Stocks this weekend, so Scranton’s main concerns will be Scott Mooers and Luke Sadler.
Tony Laporta has reportedly done the math, and knows exactly what he must accomplish in order to beat Casey Feaster and defend his 2009 Challenger Championship. But at 111 points in front of Laporta, Casey Feaster got a hard lesson in Murphy’s Law last Friday night when a broken down tow vehicle kept him from making it to Ocala Speedway, and sent him plummeting down the points ladder there. That experience reminded Feaster of how fast it can all slip away, and thus refocused his determination to remain at the top at Volusia Speedway Park while he tries to regain what he lost at Ocala. Laporta is equally determined, so every race now becomes extremely important to both racers at this point in the season.
Fans can enter the Volusia Speedway Park grandstands at 5:30PM this Saturday night, and racing is scheduled to begin at 7:30PM. For more information on this week’s events, or to see the entire 2010 racing schedule, please visit www.VolusiaSpeedwayPark.net.

Auburndale Speedway wraps up the month of July with a huge program in what is being billed as “Family Fun Night.” Everyone from mom, dad and the kids to grandpa and grandma are invited out for a night of great racing and fun. Fans will be treated to an Enduro race, a pair of Figure 8 races and a Demolition Derby. Plus there will be plenty of regular racing too as the Street Stocks, Legend Cars, V-8 Bombers, Scramblers, Bandoleros and Kids Club will also be in action.
The Enduro race is open to any car as long as the engine, transmission and suspension are completely and absolutely stock. The interior may be removed and all glass must be removed. The windshield can be replaced with lexan. A roll cage and fuel cell are OK. No 8 inch wheels will be allowed (7 inch max)
with a 70 series tire limit. If there are 20 or more cars, the race will be 100 laps and pay $1,000 to win. If less than 20 cars enter, the race will be 50 laps for $500 to win. There is a $50 entry fee. The Demo Derby is also open to any car providing no plating is used. Cars will go through tech inspection before the Demo to insure no plating or other reinforcement has been done.
The Pro Figure 8 race will be opened up to include all Sportsman, Street Stock and V-8 Bombers as well as the Pro-style Figure 8 cars. There will also be a Four Cylinder Figure 8 race open to all Mini Stocks other than Mod Minis.
Only one Pro Figure 8 has been run so far this year and was won by veteran criss-cross driver Jimmy Thompson. Thus he leads the point standings over Wayne Calkins and Rockin’ Rodney Davis.
Matt McCrary increased his point lead just slightly last week in the Street Stock class to 12 over Jeff Waterman. Dave Colpritt continues to lurk in third just 60 points out of first. Gerald White, Jr. also expanded his point lead in the Legend Cars following his win last week. White now holds a 12 point edge over Jake Perkins.
The Scramblers return after another week off with Kimberly Gullett still holding on to the point lead by 36 over Brian Tyre. Chad Cutting is still in the hunt for the Scrambler title as well, now just 24 points behind Tyre. Josh Borem is hoping to be back in action in the V-8 Bombers. After missing three straight weeks of racing, Borem still holds a 76 point edge on Buddy Phillips, Jr. who blew an engine during the feature race last week.
Pit gates open Saturday afternoon at 2PM and the grandstand gates open for fans at 5PM with racing getting under way at 7PM. Make sure to bring the kids as all youngsters aged 10 and under will be eligible for prizes through “Lindsey’s Little Racers.” This week there will be two Grand Prize Packs with assorted NASCAR merchandise sponsored By Martha Nemechek and Chek Ventures.
