Michael England Rocks to AMS 10th Annual Bluegrass Rumble Win at Bluegrass Speedway

Bardstown, KY-July 24, 2010- The American Modified Series presented by Force Fuel and Engine Conditioner would invade Bluegrass Speedway on Saturday evening and second-generation racer Michael England would drive to the win in the 10th Annual Bluegrass Rumble, with the victory worth $3,000.  Other feature event winners for the night included Steve Francis of Ashland, KY in 44 Auto Mart Super Late Models and Scott Beeler of Louisville, KY in UMP Street Stocks.

Randle Sweeney and Shelby Miles would lead the 30 lap American Modified Series A-main event to the green flag, but before a full lap was completed Randle Sweeney would get crossed up in turn three and Jason Wheatley and Bryan Barber would also be involved, with Sweeney done for the night. This would move Michael England to the pole of the race and he would take the lead on the second start of the race, followed by Shelby Miles, Don Adams, Benji Lee, and Jason Wheatley. Lee would take third from Adams on lap 3 as England and Miles set a torrid pace at the point. Wheatley would mount a challenge on Adams for third and would grab the spot on lap 6 as the front five would remain the same at this point through lap 10.  Miles would close on England on lap 12 and England started to work slower traffic, while Doug Adkins would scoot past Adams for on lap 14. With Miles continuing to apply pressure on England for the lead, Wheatley would reel in third place running Lee and that pair would begin to battle for the third position. A caution for debris on lap 19 would slow the event for the final time and on the double-file restart, England would pull away Miles off of turn two and maintain the lead, while Lee and Wheatley continued their struggle for third. Wheatley would finally take third with a turn two slidejob pass on lap 22 as Miles continued to dog England for the top spot. England would pull away from Miles in the final five circuits of the race and take the checkered flag first in the Team WompusCat owned Jeffries Auto Salvage/Williams and Tucker Auto Salvage/Kentucky Clutch Salvage/Horton Racing/Waterhead Motorsports/Chuck Davis Machine/Simpson Machine and Fabrication sponsored #10.5 Lightning Chassis, Pro Power Race Engine powered machine. Miles, Wheatley, Lee, and Adkins would complete the top five, with the remainder of the top ten going to Adams, Miguel Coffey, 14th starting John Demoss, Ed Shamhart, and 16th starting J.T. Ayers.  In preliminary action, Benji Lee be the top qualifier with a lap of 17.553 seconds. Sweeney, England, Miles, and Wheatley would win the heats, while B-Mains would be captured by Rob Penny and Trent Young.  The series provisional went to Mike Selby, with Brad Schlosser taking the track provisional.

 

The 44 Auto Mart Super Late Model main event would see outside polesitter Steve Francis jump to the race lead at the drop of the green flag, followed by Jarryd Holshouser, Lee Devasier, Tim Tungate, and Jeff Watson.  Tungate would take third from Devasier on lap 2, while Holshouser would dog Francis for the lead.  Francis would begin to pull away a bit by lap 4 as Tungate would drive around Holshouser for second one lap later.  With Tungate setting his sights on Francis, attention would shift to what would become an entertaining battle for third between Holshouser, Devasier, and Watson.  Watson would take fourth from Devasier on lap 9, but disaster would strike Watson as his machine had right front suspension failure entering turn one on lap 11, with Devasier and Watson making contact and damaging the left front suspension on Devasier’s unit, ending both drivers night.  Back underway, Francis and Tungate would begin to drive away from the field, with Holshouser attempting to keep Tim Rivers at bay for third, with Chad Stapleton now fifth.  The final ten circuits would see Tungate continue to pressure Francis for the point, but Francis would pull away from Tungate in the final five laps to take the win in the Chad Stapleton owned Rightway Construction/ Cowboy’s Race Cars/Outlaw Fabrication/Jones Core sponsored #32 Rocket Chassis, Roush-Yates Race Engines powered entry.  Tungate would take second, followed by Holshouser, Rivers, and Stapleton.  Completing the top ten were Joey Daniel, Rob Starkey, Marty O’Neal, Wesley Brummett, and Doodle Farris.  Tungate was top qualifier among 14 entries at 16.198 seconds, while Holshouser would win the dash and Watson would take the heat win.

Scott Beeler would battle with Timmy Glazer throughout the 12 lap UMP Street Stock feature race and would stave off a last lap assault from Glazer to score his first-ever Bluegrass Speedway victory aboard the Terry’s Satellite City/Daryl Hadley Racing/ Mac’s Garage/Amsoil/Pro-Tint sponsored #12.  Glazer would settle for second, while Jason Bartley outlasted father Terry Bartley for third, with Joe Walker completing the top five.  Beeler would also win the heat race for the division.

Eddie Carrier, Jr. and David Webb would bring the 12^th Annual Kentuckiana Klash to the green flag, with Carrier, Jr. jumping out to the early lead, followed by Mike Jewell, Webb, Tim Tungate, and Justin Rattliff.  Dustin Neat would go from seventh to fifth on lap 2, while Carrier, Jr. had opened up a seven car length lead by lap 5.  The front five would remain the same as the first caution of the race waved on lap 9 when Marty O’Neal slowed his machine in turn three.  With the field in a Delaware double-file formation, racing would resume, with Carrier, Jr. still on the point, while Webb would take second, Neat going by Jewell for third, and Tungate holding down fifth.  By lap 15, Carrier, Jr. was still on the point, but Webb would reel in Carrier, Jr. and by lap 18, Webb would be right on Carrier, Jr.’s rear bumper.  As the field saw the halfway signal on lap 20, Webb would pull alongside Carrier, Jr. exiting turn two, but Carrier, Jr. would beat Webb back into turn three.  The same would hold true on lap 23, with the same outcome, with this action allowing Neat to close in on Webb from his third spot.  Meanwhile, Tungate would challenge Jewell for the fourth spot and would eventually grab the spot on lap 30, while Webb continued to find a way around Carrier, Jr. for the lead.  Caution would wave again on lap 33 when Scott James slowed on the backchute.  The next two attempted restarts would be called back for cars contacting the restart cone.  The final restart would see Neat get by Webb exiting turn two, while Justin Rattliff would squeeze back Jewell for the fifth position on lap 34.  The top five would remain the same over the final circuits, with Carrier, Jr. taking the win in the Carl Grover Motorsports owned Engines, Inc./Cox Wrecker Service/Blue Ridge Machinery and Tool sponsored #28 Rocket Chassis, Grover Race Engines powered machine, with Neat, Webb, Tungate, and Rattliff completing the top five.  The remainder of the top ten would be Jewell, Mike Marlar, Greg Johnson, 16^th starting Duane Chamberlain, and Steve Barnett.  In preliminary action, Zack Dohm would be the top qualifier among 29 entries at 16.442 seconds, while heat race victories went to Webb in Wayne Bowen Racing Supply heat one, Carrier, Jr. in Budda Bert Transmission Sales and Service heat two, and Jewell in Arizona Sport Shirts heat three.  Chamberlain would win the Double H Race Fabrication B-Main, while series provisionals were Arnie Fields and Skylar Marlar, with Tanner English garnering the track provisional.

The 15 lap WBRT 1320-AM UMP Sportsman main event would see Barry Chesser stave off repeated challenges from Billy Meredith in early stages of the event and then off of the efforts of Avral Thompson to take the win in the division’s feature event aboard his Buzick Construction/44 Auto Mart/Lewis Auto Salvage sponsored #75.  Thompson would take runner-up honors, followed by Tim Cummings, Sam Mull, and Derek Bottoms.  Chesser was also top qualifier among nine entries, while Meredith would make a turn four last lap pass to score the heat race victory.

The 20 lap UMP Modified feature event would turn into the Jason Wheatley and Benji Lee show as the cousins would battle throughout the main event, with Wheatley able to keep Lee at bay and score his fourth straight win at Bluegrass Speedway in the Kaylee and Tommy Wheatley owned VFM Manufacturing/St. Joe Garage/Mark Martin Chevrolet/Wheatley Seamless Gutters/Wheatley Tile Flooring/Wheatley Auto Sales/ Brian Wheatley Landscaping/Gootee and Mattingly Heating and Cooling/Central Kentucky Electrical and Plumbing/Brady Excavating/Nukem Graphics/Rosewood Golf Course/TSM Shocks sponsored #7 Larry Shaw by Landers Race Car, Mullins Race Engines powered entry.  Lee would take second, with Josh Lucas winning an entertaining battle with Earl Plessinger for third, while J.T.

Hatton is Dandy in 9^th Annual NASRA June Jam at Bluegrass Speedway

Bardstown, KY- June 19, 2010- The National All Star Racing Association made its first official appearance of 2010 at Bluegrass Speedway on Saturday evening and Aaron Hatton would drive away $3,000 richer after picking up the victory in the 9^th Annual June Jam event and it would also be Hatton’s first-ever Bluegrass Speedway feature win.  Other feature event winners for the evening included Shane Lafollette of Hodgenville, KY in UMP Street Stocks and Jason Wheatley of Loretto, KY in UMP Modifieds.

The drop of the green flag on the 9^th Annual June Jam main event for the NASRA Late Models would not see a full lap completed as five cars would tangle in turn three to draw the only caution of the race, as Arnie Fields, Michael Chilton, Jeff Watson, Bobby Wolter, Jr., and Christian Rayburn all involved, with only Fields not able to continue.  Once action got underway, Steve Barnett would drive the race lead after battling Aaron Hatton on the initial lap, followed by Justin Rattliff, Dustin Neat, and Marty O’Neal.  Mike Jewell would take fifth on lap 2, while Rattliff and Neat battled for third.  Neat would score the third position from Rattliff on lap 5, while Barnett held about a ten car length lead on Hatton.  With Barnett continuing to hold a comfortable lead, Neat would set his sights on Hatton for the runner-up and after a brief battle, Neat would take second from Hatton on lap 13.  As the halfway signal flew on the 30 lap event, Neat would begin to close the gap on Barnett for the top spot, while Rattliff and Jewell would pressure Hatton for third, with Rattliff sneaking by Hatton for third on lap 17 and bringing Mike Jewell along to fourth, shuffling Hatton back to fifth.  Jewell would then hound Rattliff for third and take the position on lap 20, as Neat would challenge Barnett for the top spot.  Jewell would make a bold move to the outside on lap 21 in turn one and grab the second spot from Neat and continue to rim-ride past Barnett to take the lead on lap 22, with Hatton going from fourth to second on the same circuit as he would maneuver his mount to the top side as well, as Barnett, Neat, and Rattliff danced three-wide for the third spot.  Hatton would mount a charge on Jewell and would fire a turn one and two slidejob to grab the lead on lap 24.  Barnett would win the battle for third momentarily only to have Rattliff around him on lap 27.  With Hatton pulling away at this point, Rattliff would scoot under Jewell exiting turn two on lap 28, but would not be able to mount a charge on Hatton.  With the duel checkered flags waving, Hatton would pick up a popular win behind the wheel of the Russell Hatton owned Checkered Flag Auto Sales/ Russell Hatton Mobile Home Rentals sponsored #33 Rocket Chassis, Draime Race Engines powered machine.  Rattliff would take second, with Jewell third, while Barnett and Neat completed the top five.  The remainder of the top ten would be Marty O’Neal, 12^th starting Victor Lee, Todd Coffman, Tim Tungate, and Skylar Marlar.  In preliminary action, Jewell would be top qualifier among 32 entries at 16.314 seconds.  Rattliff would win Wayne Bowen Racing Supply heat one, Neat would take Budda Bert Transmissions Sales and Service heat two, Hatton would win Arizona Sport Shirts heat three, and Barnett would claim Cruise with the Champions heat four.  The Double H Race Fabrications B-Mains would go to David Webb and Jeff Watson, with series provisionals going to Bobby Wolter, Jr. and Christian Rayburn, while Lee Devasier was the track provisional.

The 12 lap UMP Street Stock feature event would again be a two-car battle between Shane Lafollette and Timmy Glazer, with Lafollette coming out on top this week to pick up his fourth feature win of the season in UMP Street Stock competition at Bluegrass Speedway in the seat of the David Copley owned  Advance Auto Parts/Larue Insurance/ Geneva’s Florist and Gifts/K&K Flower Shop/Select Designs/Rock’s Tobacco Company/ Henry Miller #1 U.K. Fan sponsored #63 Ford Thunderbird.  Glazer would take runner-up honors, with Joe Walker and Bobby Settles completing the field.  Lafollette was also top qualifier, while Glazer won the dash.

In the 20 lap UMP Modified feature contest, Jason Wheatley and Benji Lee would pull away from the field in the middle stages of the event only to see a caution with five laps remaining bunch the field back together for one final restart.  However, Wheatley would not be challenged on the this night and would keep Lee at bay over the final five circuits take his second straight UMP Modified feature win of the season at Bluegrass aboard the Kaylee and Tommy Wheatley owned St. Joe Garage/VFM Manufacturing/Mark Martin Chevrolet/Wheatley Seamless Gutters/Wheatley Tile Flooring/Wheatley Auto Sales/Brian Wheatley Landscaping/Gootee and Mattingly Heating and Cooling/Brady Excavating/Central Kentucky Electrical and Plumbing/Springfield Auto and Farm/Cozy Corner/Rosewood Golf Course/Nukem Graphics/TSM Shocks sponsored #7 Larry Shaw Race Car by Landers, Mullins Race Engines powered mount.  Lee would take second place, with Josh Lucas making a pass on Michael England on lap 16 to claim third, while Dion Benningfield completed the top five.  Rounding out the top ten were Joe Mattingly, Brad Schlosser, Adam Cole, Rocky Wilson, and Gary Parks.  Heats would go Lee and Wheatley among the 14 entries on hand.

Jeff Watson Wins Super Late Model Main Event at Bluegrass Speedway 

Bardstown, KY-May 23, 2010- Jeff Watson of Campbellsville, KY had won at other tracks, but never at Bluegrass Speedway.  That is no longer the case as Watson wheeled to the 44 Auto Mart Super Late Model victory on Saturday evening at Bluegrass Speedway.  For the first time since 2003, Sprint Car racing returned to Bluegrass Speedway with the American Sprint Car Tour delivering the action and Hud Cone of Oakland City, IN would take the A-Main win.  Lastly, Timmy Glazer of Bardstown, KY would score his second win of the season in the $300 to win special for UMP Street Stocks. 

Tim Tungate and Jeff Watson would bring the 44 Auto Mart Super Late Model feature event to the green flag, with Watson jumping to the race lead, followed by Tungate, Dustin Neat, Terry English, and Aaron Hatton.  Tungate would slip in turn two on lap 2, allowing Neat and English to scoot past, moving Tungate back to fourth.  Watson would build a ten-car length in the early going on the 25 lap event, lapping slower traffic by lap 6.  As Watson maintained the lead, English and Tungate would begin to battle for the third position, with English able to keep Tungate at bay.  By lap 10, Neat had closed the gap to Watson, but the action would be slowed by the only caution of the race on lap 13 as Dan Dunbar would stop on backchute and would not be safely off the race surface.  The restart would see Neat pressure Watson for the lead, with Watson able to maintain the lead, while Tungate and Hatton would now begin to battle for the fourth spot.  Neat would repeatedly look to the inside of Watson in turns one and two, with Watson maintaining the advantage down the backchute, with Hatton finally driving by Tungate to move to fourth.  The final five circuits would see Watson and Neat continue to duel for the race lead, but it would be Watson’s night as he saw the checkered flag first aboard the Finn and Jeff Watson owned Brad Burton Dairy Farms/Shofner Enterprises/Watson Plumbing/Kitchen Krate Katering/Commercial Fleet Repair/B&W Irrigation/Wynn’s Oil Treatment/Sam’s Restaurant sponsored #11 MasterSbilt Race Car, Ofria Race Engines powered machine.  Neat, English, Hatton, and Tungate would complete the top five.  The remainder of the top ten would be Lee Devasier, Jarryd Holshouser, Johnny Wheeler, Tanner English, and Tommy Klein.  In preliminary action, D.J. Wells would be the top qualifier at 15.060 seconds, with Tungate winning the dash, while Wheeler won the heat.

The 20 lap American Sprint Car Tour main event would see Hud Cone grab the lead at the drop of the green flag and would never be seriously challenged throughout the way, with Cone taking the A-Main checkered flag in the Cone-Corry Racing owned Corey Welding/Boxell Trucking/Bell/Hinchman/AFCO Racing Products sponsored #14 Dynamite Race Cars entry.  Sixteen year old Blake Nimee would take runner-up honors, with Alex Shanks third, Aric Gentry fourth, and J.T. Stapp fifth.  The remainder of the finishing order would be Aaron Fry, Shane Wade, and Craig Budde, with Danny Williams, Jr., flipping in his heat and not able to start the A-Main.  Cone would also win his heat and dash, with Gentry winning the other heat.

The UMP Street Stock division was in action in a $300 to win special event and Timmy Glazer would grab the race lead in the early going drive away from the field to score his second win of the season in the seat of his Cecil Transmission/Sam Murphy Race Engines/Tech 1 sponsored #93 Chevy Monte Carlo.  Roy Skaggs would take runner-up honors, with Shane Lafollette starting at the rear of the field and finishing third.  Terry Bartley and Garnett Eldridge would complete the top five.  The remainder of the running order would be Joe Walker, Bobby Settles, and Carl Booth.

The start of the World of Outlaws Late Model A-Main would see Steve Francis jump to the race lead, with Don O’Neal, Jimmy Owens, Tim McCreadie, and Josh Richards in pursuit.  The first of four cautions waved with one lap scored as Jordan Bland rolled to a stop at the topside of turn four.  The restart would see Jimmy Owens duck beneath Francis and O’Neal in turn one and take the top spot off of turn two.  The second caution would wave on lap 3 as Brady Smith would make contact with the wall in turn two and roll to a stop, but would be able to continue.  The restart would see Owens hold the lead, while 11^th place starter Darrell Lanigan would get a good restart and make his way into the top five.  Lanigan would work his way to third by lap 10 and begin to pressure O’Neal for the runner-up slot, while Francis worked in fourth spot, with McCreadie fifth.  Lap 15 would see O’Neal and Lanigan side by side for second, as race leader Owens began working traffic, with 13^th starting Tim Fuller charging his way into the top five.  O’Neal and Lanigan would trade the second spot and would make it a three-way battle for the lead with Owens in traffic on lap 22, with Lanigan now in second.  Rick Eckert would draw the next caution on lap 26 when his mount rolled to a stop in turn four with a flat right rear tire.  Back underway, it would be three-wide for the lead into turn one between Owens, Lanigan, and O’Neal, with Owens hanging on to the race lead.  Lanigan would pressure Owens off of turn two one trip later, with the pair making contact and Owens maintaining the lead, but O’Neal would scoot past Lanigan for second.  The final caution of the event waved on lap 34 as Dustin Neat would spin in turn four and pull pitside.  The restart would see Owens maintain the lead, while Francis would begin to mount a charge as he and Lanigan would now battle for second, with O’Neal fourth, while 12^th starting Shannon Babb had made his way to fifth.  By lap 40, Owens would begin to pull away, while Lanigan and Francis would battle for second, trading slidejobs on lap 42 and 43, with Francis winning the battle.  However, Owens would go unchallenged the remainder of the way and put the Mike Reece owned Reece Monument/Gannette Appraisals/VP Racing Fuel/Ohlins Shocks sponsored #20 Bloomquist Race Cars, Cornett Race Engines powered mount in victory lane.  Francis would claim second, with Lanigan third, while O’Neal and Babb would complete the top five.  The remainder of the top ten would be Fuller, McCreadie, Shane Clanton, 17^th starting Eric Wells, and Dan Schlieper.  In preliminary action, four drivers would break the five year old track record, with Don O’Neal finally setting the new mark at 14.563 seconds among 40 entries.  Heat race wins fell to O’Neal, Justin Rattliff, Josh Richards, and Owens.  The B-Mains were scored by Eric Wells and Brad Neat.  Series provisionals were Chub Frank and Clint Smith, while track provisionals were Dustin Neat and Lee Devasier. 

The 15 lap WBRT 1320-AM UMP Sportsman feature event would see things come down to a battle between Barry Chesser and Avral Thompson, with Chesser coming out on top of the battle in his Buzick Construction/44 Auto Mart/Lewis Auto Salvage sponsored #75 Buick Regal machine.  The remainder of the finishing order would be Thompson, Wayne Hager, and Tim Cummings, as only four of the seven starters would finish.  Billy Meredith would be the top qualifier and also win the heat.

Shane Lafollette would stave off the challenges of Timmy Glazer to take the win in the 12 lap UMP Street Stock main event behind the wheel of the David Copley owned Geneva’s Florist and Gifts/Advance Auto Parts/Larue Insurance/K&K Flower Shop/Select Designs/Henry Miller-#1 U.K. Fan sponsored #63 machine.  Glazer would take second, with Joe Walker finishing third.

Tim Tungate and Dustin Neat would bring the 25 lap 44 Auto Mart Super Late Model feature to the green flag, but a spin by Elton Martin would negate the initial start.  The second start would see Tungate and Neat trade the lead on the opening lap before Neat seized the lead off of turn four.  A spin on lap 3 by Dylan Preston would again slow the action, with Mike Jewell able to drive past Lee Devasier on the restart, while Jeff Watson rode in fifth.  Jewell would pressure Tungate for the second before misfortune hit Tungate as he contacted the wall in turn one to draw the third caution of the race.  The restart would see Jewell slidejob past Neat in turn one, only to have Neat dive back beneath Jewell exiting turn two as only one more circuit completed as Michael Chilton would roll to a stop in turn one.  The restart would see Jewell attempt to dive beneath Neat again for the lead, but Neat would keep Jewell at bay this time.  By lap 15, Neat began to pull away from Jewell at the point.  A final caution would wave on lap 23 for a spin by Preston in turn two to tighten up the pack.  The restart would see Devasier, Hatton, and Arnie Fields go three-wide for the third spot, with Hatton coming out with position, while Fields would go to fourth.  Neat would lead the rest of the way to score the win in his Red Buck Cigars/Neat’s Service Center/D&R Livestock sponsored #25 MasterSbilt Race Car, Estes Race Engines powered mount.  The remainder of the top five would be Jewell, 11^th starting Hatton, Fields, and Devasier.  Completing the top ten were 20^th starting Justin Rattliff, Jeff Watson, Aaron Ridley, Johnny Wheeler, and Christian Rayburn.  Jewell would be the top qualifier among 20 entries, with Tungate winning the dash, while heat wins fell to Rayburn and Fields.

The 20 lap UMP Modified main event would turn into the Benji Lee and Jason Wheatley show for the race lead and win, with Wheatley trying valiantly on numerous occasions to dive beneath Lee for the top spot, but Lee would hold the preferred line on the topside of the racing surface and would survive a late race caution with four laps remaining to capture the season opening open-wheel feature victory behind the wheel of his Thompson Heating and Air/Smart Shoppers/On Time Courier/On Time Construction/ Springfield NAPA/Kirker Automotive Finishes/St. Joe Garage/B&B Motorsports/Johnny’s Fluffy Cat Farm sponsored #03 Bandit Race Cars, Dale Meers Race Engines powered machine.  Wheatley would take runner-up honors, with Jacob Webber claiming third.  First-time visitor Bryan Fiscus would make a last lap pass of Randy Turpin to claim fourth, with Turpin scoring the fifth position.  The remainder of the top ten would be Josh Lucas, Doodle Farris, Randall Basham, Adam Cole, and Miguel Coffey.  Lee would be the division’s top qualifier among 18 entries, with Brad Schlosser claiming the dash win, while Robbie Gullion and J.T. Ayers were the heat winners.

Pat Hagan would be the dominant force in the 15 lap WBRT 1320-AM UMP Sportsman main event and drive away to an easy victory as the defending track champion would pilot the Billy Holbert owned #88 Chevy Monte Carlo sponsored by Willard’s Heating and Air/New Haven NAPA/New Haven Quick Stop/New Haven Car Wash/Holbert’s Auto Recovery.  Barry Chesser would take the second position at the finish, with Avral Thompson claiming third place honors.  Billy Meredith would garner fourth place honors, while Robbie Settles would loop his machine of the final, but score the final position in the top five of the running order.  Hagan also scored the heat race victory.

The  12 lap UMP Street Stock feature event would also see another dominating performance in the form of Timmy Glazer as Glazer would take the lead at the drop of the green flag and never be headed in scoring the feature event checkered flag in his Independent Stave Company/Cecil Transmissions/Sam Murphy Race Engines sponsored #93.  Brad Leake would finish in the second position as Jason Bartley would take third place at the finish.  Shane Lafollette would come home in fourth, with Joe Walker rounding out the top five.  Glazer was also the heat race winner.
