The Scott Thompson Memorial Comes To VSP This Saturday

by VSP Media

BARBERVILLE, FL- Race fans will be lining up early this Saturday, June 26th, as the Scott Thompson Memorial, featuring the United Dirt Late Model Challenge Series, hits the clay at Volusia Speedway Park.  According to United Dirt Late Model Challenge Series director Ken Kinney, the Scott Thompson Memorial has grown in prestige and now is one of the two “jewels” of late model racing in the southeastern region, and will bring a solid field of top late model racers to VSP, and all of them will be hungry to add their names to the honored list of race winners.  In addition to the Thompson Memorial, fans will also see exciting action from the Taylor Racing Products Sportsman Division, the Daytona Sportswear Street Stocks, and the Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants Thunder Stocks.

The Scott Thompson Memorial honors the memory of one of the more popular racers in the late model ranks in Florida, who tragically lost his life in a non racing related automobile accident in May of 2006.  At the time of his unfortunate passing, Scott Thompson was battling toward the 2006 National Late Model Series Rookie of the Year title, and had already established himself as the Volusia Speedway Park Late Model Champion in 2005.  The Thompson family remains dedicated to racing and to the legacy created by Scott’s achievements, plus the many deep friendships and the respect that he developed with his rival racers, directing their energy and love of the sport into this special race each season.

The 50 lap race will again pay a $3800 check to the winner of the main event in memory of Scott Thompson’s #38 late model, and as was the case last year, the Thompson family has commissioned Scott Sweet of Sweet Grafix to design and build a special guitar trophy that is unique to this race, and that will be a cherished addition to any racer’s trophy collection. The second and third place finishers will receive special award cups from the United Dirt Late Model Challenge Series.

The Scott Thompson Memorial is special to the racers because of who and what it memorializes, but it also marks a change for the racers who have been competing with the United Dirt Late Model Challenge Series in 2010.  Series director Ken Kinney points out that after this race the northern and southern regions of the UDLMCS will combine into a “chase” format, which will open up the points battle and begin a whole new race to the season championship. Ivedent Lloyd has a virtual lock on the northern region title, while Keith Nosbisch holds a mere 20 point advantage over Mark Whitener in the south.  Once the two regions combine it will be anyone’s title to chase, with racers like two time defending UDLMCS Champion Johnny Collins possibly getting back into the hunt and looking for an elusive “three-peat.”  UDLMCS races have produced 5 different winners in 7 events so far in 2010, with Phillip Cobb becoming a first time winner in the prestigious Powell Memorial at Ocala Speedway earlier this month.

The excitement will not diminish as three of Volusia Speedway Park’s most competitive divisions accent the evening along with the Scott Thompson Memorial.  Shaun Daugharty will be hoping to build on his one point advantage over Aaron Barsness in the Taylor Racing Products Sportsman points race, while Phillip Brown will be defending the same scant advantage over Tim Hughes with the Daytona Sportswear Street Stocks.  And no one will want to miss the next chapter in the newest on track rivalry between Scott Mooers and Chad Scranton, as the Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants Thunder Stocks return for another round.

Volusia Speedway Park will offer an open practice session for all divisions on Friday, June 25th, from 6PM until 9PM, in preparation for Saturday night’s events.  The pit gate will open at 2PM on Saturday with driver’s meetings at 5:45 and practice at 6:15.  The grandstand gates will open on Saturday at 5PM for early birds to grab the best seats, and to witness qualifying which is set to begin at 6:45.  Heat racing will begin at 7:30PM with B mains and features to follow, and for more information fans can access www.VolusiaSpeedwayPark.net.

Five Divisions to Battle at Ocala this Friday

by BJ Cavin- Ocala Speedway Media

OCALA, FL- After nature stole another night of racing from the fans on June 18th, Ocala Speedway will be back in action on Friday, June 25th, with five exciting divisions.  Fans will see hot competition from the Colortyme Rental Modifieds,  the Sportsman Division, the Tee Pee Tire Hobby Stocks, the Amsoil V8 Thunder Stocks, and the Gladiators.  And as an added bonus, the “Father Mows Best” lawnmower race that was rained out last weekend, will run at intermission this Friday night.

The Colortyme Modifieds are providing one of the closest points battles of the 2010 season as 11 top racers are within easy striking distance of points leader Jeff Mathews.  Mathews’ lead is by a mere 15 points over Kyle Owen, while Kyle Bronson and Roger Crouse are tied at just one point shy of Owen.  Wayne Hammond is 19 points shy of Mathews, while Chip Owen and Garrett Stewart are 26 and 36 points out of first place.  Mathews got a win the last time out, but any slip on his part could result in any one of these racers replacing him at the top.

Danny Vogel and Stanton Mills entered the fray the last time out for Ocala’s Sportsman Division, and those two racers quickly proved that they were there to win.  Vogel won the race while Stanton Mills finished second, while points leader Kevin Mills failed to start the main event due to mechanical issues.  Augie Burttram’s third place finish was enough to vault him in front of Kevin Mills on the points ladder, while Vogel and Stanton Mills climbed all the way into third and fourth place in the points respectively.  Kevin Mills is now in a position where he must perform well this weekend if he has any hope of staying in the top four or five in points, as Vogel and Stanton Mills are both within easy reach of taking him down a few more notches.

The Tee Pee Tire Hobby Stocks were expected to provide another side by side battle between Dean Jarvis and Heath Walker the last time out, but both of those drivers wound up watching from the sidelines as Bubba Christian took over and won.  Jarvis is still the points leader with Walker just 10 points behind, so this Friday offers yet another chance for these two racers to steal the show.  That is, barring anymore unfortunate bouts of lousy luck.  In fact, the top three in the 2010 points race fared badly on June 11th, and now need to keep one eye in the mirror.

After enduring a run of races where it seemed impossible to finish, much less get a win, Michael Stalnaker put his race car back into the Victory Lane celebration with the Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants V8 Thunder Stocks two weeks ago.  While that finish failed to knock Jerrid Bennett out of the top spot, it at least kept Stalnaker within striking distance at 28 points out of first place.  Right behind Stalnaker are the EBD Racing drivers, Brian and Chris Shea, who could easily overtake Stalnaker should he falter again.  And a wild card in the mix is Scott Mooers, who struggled the last time out and never factored into the finish.  After a less than spectacular outing Mooers should be more determined to run up front and challenge for the win, which could get in the way of someone else who wants it just as badly.

Casey Feaster grabbed a Gladiator Division win on June 1, drawing within 20 points of points leader Steven Johnson.  Meanwhile Devin Walker has slowly been creeping up the ladder, and now sits in third place just three points behind Feaster, while Matt Shea’s second place finish on the 11th kept him in the fourth spot for 2010, and still climbing.  Steven Johnson keeps posting top five finishes, but his competition is whittling away at his points lead little by little each week by finishing in front of him.  Look for Johnson to step it up this week to defend the top spot, while Feaster keeps clawing at him from behind.  And also look for Devin Walker to have his mechanical gremlins under control so that he can try to overtake Casey Feaster.

Ocala Speedway will open the grandstand gates at 5PM on Friday evening with heat races scheduled to begin at 8PM.  For more information, please visit the official website of Florida’s oldest speedway, www.OcalaSpeedway.com.

LATE MODELS GO FOR $3,000 TO WIN SATURDAY NIGHT AT AUBURNDALE SPEEDWAY

by Dave Westerman

The Late Models return to action Saturday night at Auburndale Speedway going for 100 laps, with a cool $3,000 going to the winner. The Late Models will be joined by the Mini Cup cars, Sportsman, Legend Cars, Mini Stocks, V-8 Bombers, Bandoleros and the Kids Club.

Plant City’s Jeff Scofield sits atop the Late Model point standings after three races with a 41 point margin over young Jason Vail of Clermont. Scofield has won two of the three races while Vail has set quick time at the last two events. Kevin Ingram is third in points just 17 behind Vail and just

12 markers ahead of veteran Perry Lovelady. All four are expected to compete and will be joined by the likes of Tim Russell, Chris Fontaine, Joe Boyd, Ron Lofquist, David King, Ryan Lisak, Josh Todd, Raymond Lovelady, Keith Lilley and a host of others.

Harold Crooms has taken a definite liking to the small but very fast Mini Cup machines, winning the last two races and leading the current points by 16 over Georgia driver John Beach. Beach is only four points ahead of third place Rick Ragan while defending champion Sam Scott is just two back of Ragan.

Jeff Scofield’s son Tyler is fifth in Mini Cup points.

The Sportsman cars are set to go again for rare back-to-back weekly action. Dave Dunkin continues to head the point chase while steady Mark Medeiros has taken over second in the standings, 18 back of Dunkin. After blowing an engine last week, Austin Carr has dropped to third in points trailing Medeiros by 38.

Gerald White, Jr. continues to extend his Legend Car point lead which has him now 30 points up on second place Jake Perkins while Justin Brown remains third, 34 behind Perkins.

It’s now a two man race in the Mini Stocks for the 2010 point title with Chris Spring leading 2009 champion Fred Harrison, Jr. by 14 going into this weeks action. Chris Narramore, Sr. sits third in points but did not compete last week and has fallen 142 points behind Harrison.

Josh Borem still maintains a huge lead in the V-8 Bomber points over Buddy Phillips, Jr. In the Bandoleros, Teddy Lively’s win last week has him now up by 18 points over Andy Metz in the Outlaw Division while Cameron White continues to run away with the 8-11 year old Bandit Division.

This week, all classes will qualify for starting positions with the exception of the Bandoleros and Kids Club. Adult admission remains at just $12 as Auburndale Speedway does not raise general admission prices for special events.

Also, make sure to bring the kids as “Lindsey’s Little Racers” will again be giving away a pair of bicycles this week. All youngsters aged ten and under will get an extra ticket good for the drawing at intermission. Two huge prize packs will also be given away thanks to of Precision Air of Florida, Inc. and

20 kids will also get free ice cream courtesy of Sportsman driver Dave Dunkin,
