Doc Lehman Announces Retirement From Motorsports
By Jarrod Lehman
Smithville, OH --- A long time member of the dirt racing community is announcing his retirement from the motorsports industry. Doc Lehman, a long time motorsports journalist, promoter, sanction official, radio & television host/writer/producer, is stepping away from being active in the sport after nearly 35 years due to long-term health issues and personal priorities.
Lehman, who has owned the public relations company Lehman Motorsports Services since 1985, will relinquish the firm over to his son, Jarrod Lehman, who will continue the company on a somewhat limited basis for the near future before determining how much to expand. Lehman will assist his son when possible.
“I’d like to thank each and everyone who I had the honor of getting to know and working with, and working for in the sport since 1973,” stated Lehman. “If I were to name everyone it would take pages upon pages to compile. I treasure the time and moments in the sport, and especially the people. Racing has been virtually my whole life for decades now and I leave the sport as an active member hoping I was able to contribute a small positive over the years.”
“I’m not walking away from the sport as a fan! I hope to be attending races the way I started my love of the sport, as a race fan. In the past six years I have been fortunate enough to be blessed with four grandsons and I want to take them with me as often as possible and hoping they get the passion for the sport. I am also hoping that some time soon perhaps my son-in-law, who took the year off, can get back into a race car so we can all cheer him on again.”
Lehman, the third generation of his family to be involved in motorsports, and an inductee into the National Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame (Class of 2006), began working in Motorsports in 1973 as the public relations director at Wayne County Speedway in Orrville, OH. Over the years he served as promoter of Wayne County Speedway; public relations director of the All Star Super Sprints; Executive Director & Vice-President of the STARS dirt Late Model series; General Manager of Pennsboro Speedway; publisher of Dirt Track Report magazine; associate producer of the Racing On Dirt TV program; owner of Lehman Motorsports Services since 1985; co-host of three radio programs (Dirt Racers Radio, Thrills On Wheels and Dirt Nation™) and as a reporter & columnist for a multitude of racing publications since the 1970’s.
During the past decade plus he has been a regular fixture in Area Auto Racing News, RPM Racing News, Dirt Late Model magazine and several others in addition to various websites, including his own Dirt America Online that existed for over six years. Lehman’s final columns will appear over the next month.
“I know I’ll miss the activity, but maybe not all those incredible hours put into it,” continued Lehman. “It’s time I reckon. I want to get more involved with my church and I really have a strong need and desire to spend as much time as possible with my wonderful wife of 30 years, Carol, who I have neglected so much over the years while chasing racing and my entire family, particularly those four incredible grandsons who have been a tremendous blessing to us. I have a real need to spend as much time with my family as possible.”
Lehman is contemplating finishing up two books that are nearly completed if a publisher can be found soon. After spending the past six years doing research yet to be completed, a third book based on the history of dirt Late Model racing is in the formative and tentative stages.
Lehman hopes his friends and many acquaintances will stop and say hello if they see him at a dirt track and he extends his warmest regards and blessings for a safe and happy holiday season to everyone in the sport of dirt racing.

Dear Friends and Family: My brother David and I want to thank you for your emails, letters and phone calls regarding our father's passing. We visited him on September 23 and he was ready to come home, but an infection developed. David and Marilyn saw him on Thursday, September 27 and he was in critical condition. On Friday, September 28, around 7 pm, he passed away in the presence of about 18 of his family and friends. It happened so suddenly that we were unable to send out word except by the www.NHRA.com website. My Dad, brother and I were nearly finished with his book on the origins of the SCTA (Southern California Timing Association) and after that he was going to finish his memoirs. Our loss is also a great loss for all those who knew and loved him and looked up to him for guidance and wisdom. Plans to honor him are being formed by the NHRA, family and friends. We look forward to knowing more about him through your memories of him. My brother and I hope to complete his life story, though we know it will never match the story that he wanted to leave to us all. Since his lifelong goal in life was to perpetuate safety in racing and to get young people to use safe racetracks and stop street racing, that is the way to honor his memory. In lieu of flowers, if you wish, you can send a donation to the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum and support the museum, whose goals are to foster the ideals for which he dedicated his life. Thank you again for your love and support at this time. Richard and David Parks and our families |
|||||||||
|
We would like to invite our visitors to send Richard and David your memories
and thoughts about Wally Parks. We will be posting them to a special
memorial page and they will be sent along to the family for inclusion in
their memoirs of Wally. Please send your sentiments, memories and stories
to [email protected]
Please include your name and city. All will be passed along to Richard and
David as well as being posted in our tribute page to Wally Parks It is our hope to in some small way, honor Wally Parks and his family for all that he has brought to our rodding community. Visit our website for updates www.HotRodHotLine.com |

National Modified Digest Goes Live
White Hall Arkansas-Victory Lane Web Designs is proud to announce the launching
of it's newest website
http://NationalModifiedDigest.Com !
The site was brought to life after several Modified racers made comments about
the lack of a good National Modified Racing site where they could get news,
results, and upcoming events on Open Wheel Modified races from around the
Nation. The site is still needing some help getting off of the ground.
Help will be needed from promoters, racers, and fans in the following areas.
Upcoming Events, Results, Photos, Driver/Team Websites, and any other news
pertaining to Open Wheel Modified racing. All information can be emailed to us
at
[email protected]
Victory Lane Web Designs owner Luke Matheson had this to say about the site:
"I'm glad to be able to offer a site which will be of assistance to the Open
Wheel Modified racers and fans of the sport as well. I kicked of
http://arkansasdirtracing.com earlier in the year, and it has been a great
success, and I was ready for a new project, and National Modified Digest fit the
bill. I would like to thank the racers who encouraged me to build this site, as
well as others who have already helped with information which is already on the
site."
A special thanks goes out to the sponsors who helped to make this site a
reality: Provence Signs, Race Wrapz, B & B Tire, and Victory Lane Web Designs.

August 14, 2007 | By: Jeff Werderman
[Boone, IA] - - Race fans not able to make the trip to Boone, IA for
the 25th running of the IMCA Super Nationals will be able to tune into
www.RaceTalkLive.com. The racing action on Wednesday, September 5,
2007 through Saturday, September 8, 2007 will hit the internet radio
site RaceTalkLive.com.
Each night's broadcast will start at 7:00 PM (CDT) and will run for
four hours. Saturday night's broadcast will run until the final A-Main
is run. With more sponsor support, that broadcast window may increase.
This radio web cast will be offered free to race fans thanks to some
great sponsors stepping up to help cover the costs.
Aero Race Wheels (Estherville, IA) will serve as the main sponsor on
Wednesday and Thursday night. Woody's Signs (Sturgeon Bay, WI) is
Saturday night's main sponsor. Tri-County Heating (Wisconsin) will

"Aero, Woody's, and Tri-County have really stepped up to help out,"
explains Bucky Doren. Doren has served as the chairperson to put this

still talking with to help and maybe increase the four-hour broadcast
each night."
Joining Doren in the broadcast booth is Chris Marchese, Chris Nunn, and
Blake Anderson. The Super Nationals Posse may also have other guest
dropping by throughout the four nights. The Posse is expecting a few
drivers that are competing to stop by and chat about how things are
going and some memories of Super Nationals past.
"We understand that with over 700 drivers from across the country,
there are a lot of fans who can't make it to the track," added Doren.
"This is a way for those who can't make it to Boone (IA) to stay up to
date."
"One of the other items we are working on is the low-watt transmitter,"
Doren stated. "We'll have more information coming next week."

the country over the next year — will offer a one-stop shop for the Dirt Late

blogs and more.

Harris Clash Live on RaceTalkLive.com Starting at 7 PM
July 18, 2007 | By: Jeff Werderman
[Knoxville, IA] - - The IMCA Harris Clash, featuring
IMCA Modifieds, will again be broadcast live over the
Internet. This year, it has found a new home thanks
to www.RaceTalkLive.com. The free audio only
broadcast is slated for Thursday, July 19, 2007 at
7:00 PM (central).
The Harris Clash entry list so far includes over sixty
drivers coming from eight states. Some of the best
modified drivers will be in the pit area at the famed
Knoxville Raceway. If you are not able to attend the
race, then listen for free on www.RaceTalkLive.com.
There is more than driver pride on the line for the
win. The highest finishing chassis builder that
participates will win the Harris Clash Chassis
Manufacturers Cup. They will also have bragging
rights for a year.
"We were expecting to do the broadcast on another
network," stated co-host Bucky Doren. "They had hired
Chris Marchese and myself to be the hosts for their
show. They had to pull the plug pretty late in the
game, so that meant no broadcast for the fans."
The original schedule called for a pay-per-view event
that featured audio and video. A last minute
situation forced that company to have to drop the
Harris Clash from their schedule.
"Bob Harris (Harris Clash promoter) and I talked it
over, and if we could find a way to get it
broadcasted, we were going to do it for the fans,"
added Doren. "Chuck Hall told me that he was in the
middle of redesigning of the RaceTalkLive.com studios.
He said wires were everywhere, be he would burn the
midnight oil to get it done in time for ‘The Clash.'
Hall deserves a big thank you."
"Special thanks needs to go to Pat Fagen and Fast
Shafts (www.fastshafts.com) as well," offered Bob
Harris. "They are helping put this last minute rescue
to a happy ending for the fans. Thanks to their
financial support, the broadcast will take place.
They came on board to help with the cost of the
broadcast, and they are also the trophy sponsor and a
product sponsor. The winner in both divisions will
receive a brand new custom driveshaft form Fast
Shafts."
Three Wide Media (www.threewidemedia.com), publishers
of Dirt Late Model Magazine and the all "NEW" Dirt
Modified Magazine have donated a special new Dirt
Modified Magazine jacket and a one year's subscription
of the Dirt Modified Magazine to the A Feature winner.
This new magazine will cover Modified racing
