Action continues to heat up at Auburndale Speedway as the Open Wheel Modifieds return for the first of back-to-back racing weekends for the popular class.<\/p>\n

The Modified Mini Stocks will also be on the slate along with the Street Stocks, Legend Cars, Mini Stocks, V-8 Bombers, Scramblers and Bandoleros.<\/p>\n

Three Open Wheel Modified races are in the books so far this year and there have been three different winners. Kevin Macy, who won the last race, is on top of the current point standings but by just four points over steady Wayne Morris. Morris is only two markers ahead of third place Harold Cannon and Cannon has just a one point edge over fourth place Keith Lilley. In fact, the top eight drivers are separated by only 30 points right now.<\/p>\n

Despite winning the last two races, Burt Morse is in third spot in the Modified Mini Stock points, 48 behind leader Jason Rendell as Morse missed being part of the action during the division’s second week of competition. Rendell has just a two point advantage over Scotty Sharpe heading into this weeks race.<\/p>\n

On the heels of back-to-back feature wins, Gerald White, Jr. has taken over the lead in Legend Car points by 22 over Jake Perkins and Justin Brown who are tied for second. Dave Gleason is fifth in the overall standings but heads the Master’s Division for drivers age 40 and over.<\/p>\n

As the Street Stocks get back in the swing of things this week it’s Jeff Waterman now with a bit of “breathing room” at the top of the points list. Waterman is 24 markers in front of Matt McCrary while McCrary has a 38 point bulge over third place Dave Colpritt.<\/p>\n

Fred Harrison, Jr. has been on a roll in the Mini Stocks and has seen his point lead swell to 16 over second place Chris Spring as he tries to defend his 2009 class championship. Chris Narramore, Sr. is in third six points back of Spring.<\/p>\n

Josh Borem continues to put together solid finishes each week in the V-8 Bombers as he continues to hold a comfortable 54 point edge over his nearest rival, Buddy Phillips, Jr.<\/p>\n

Kim Gullett continues to stay on top of the Scrambler point chase but has seen Brian Tyre close to within eight tallies. Solid finishes over the past few weeks, including a win, have propelled Chad Cutting up to third in Scrambler points.<\/p>\n

In the Bandoleros, Cameron White has a huge advantage in the Bandit class while it’s much closer in the Outlaws with Ryan Shattuck now just four points in front of Teddy Lively.<\/p>\n

Saturday pit gates open at 2PM, grandstand gates open at 5PM and racing gets under way at 7PM.<\/p>\n

NOTES:<\/p>\n

Due to a scheduling conflict, Auburndale Speedway has moved the next Late Model race originally scheduled for May 15th to the following Saturday, May<\/p>\n

22nd. The AMF Chassis\/Chassis Works 100 is expected to be even bigger than this past weeks outstanding event that saw Longwood’s Tim Russell take home the $3000 top prize.<\/p>\n

Auburndale Speedway saw its biggest crowd in quite some time last week as the fans came out in droves to see some outstanding racing. One lucky lady carried home a record 50\/50 raffle take of $549.50!!! Also thanks to Hurricane Bar & Grill in Winter Haven for donating ten $25 gift certificates as raffle prizes.<\/p>\n

As the kids came through the breezeway last Saturday, they were surprised to see not two, but four bicycles that were to be given away as part of the “Lindsey’s Little Racers” program. Ronnie Simms of Becton\/Simms Racing stepped up to the plate and bought two more bikes on Saturday afternoon. Enough money was raised during the weekly Linsey’s Little Racers raffle to buy two more bikes. The next bike giveaway will be on May 1st.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Ronnie Simms, he put up an extra $150 to Mini Cup driver Sam Scott if Scott (the fast qualifier) could start at the tail end of the Mini Cup field and win the race. Simms just barely held on to his cash as Scott ended up finishing second to Harold Crooms in a caution-plagued race that saw the time limit expire. We can only speculate if Scott could have taken home the victory if the entire 25 laps could have been completed.<\/p>\n

Mini Stock point leader Fred Harrison, Jr. could be earning himself a nickname as the “Ice Cream Man.” Every time Harrison has put up the money for the free ice cream prizes for the kids through Lindsey’s Little Racers, he’s won the Mini Stock feature!!<\/p>\n

Make your plans to come to the race track early on May 1st as there will be a car show at the track from 1-5PM in support of the Fallen Firefighter Survivors Association. The event is part of “The Worlds Largest Poker Run”<\/p>\n

presented by the Red Knights Motorcycle Club. All types of cars from Classics to Antiques to Muscle Cars are welcome. The cost is just $10 to enter and best of show prizes will be awarded. For more info contact redknightsfl10@msn.com.<\/p>\n

To clarify the new classes for the Bandolero cars… There are now just two divisions based on the age of the driver. “Bandits” are age 8-12 and “Outlaws” are age 13 and above. For prospective Bandolero drivers (and their parents), test drives and racing schools are scheduled from time to time at Auburndale Speedway. For more information, contact Russ Thomson at (407) 873-0546.<\/p>\n
