UMP Sportsman were on hand and Joey Daniel was the top qualifier in Super Late

“The Real Deal” Wins 10th Annual LOLMDS Bluegrass Classic
at Bluegrass Speedway
Bardstown, KY-August 28, 2010- The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series would make
its annual visit to Bluegrass Speedway on Saturday evening for the 10th Annual
Bluegrass Classic and Don O’Neal of Martinsville, IN would lead all 50 laps en
route to his second win in the Bluegrass Classic event, having previously won
the race in 2003. Other feature winners for the evening included Shane
Lafollette of Hodgenville, KY in UMP Street Stocks and Billy Meredith of
Hodgenville, KY in WBRT 1320-AM UMP Sportsman.
Don O’Neal and Scott Bloomquist would bring the 26 car starting field to chief
starter Brian Axsom’s green flag, with O’Neal jumping to the race lead, followed
by Mike Marlar, Scott Bloomquist, Brady Smith, and Jimmy Owens. Bloomquist would
take second on lap 2, while Steve Francis would make his way to fifth. Owens
would work by around Francis for fifth on lap 4 as Marlar began to pressure
Bloomquist for second. Marlar would take second from Bloomquist on lap 6 as
O’Neal began to build a comfortable lead. Meanwhile, 13th starting Tim Isenberg
was charging toward the front and would take fifth from Owens in a three-wide
battle with Francis as well on lap 9. The first caution of the race would fly
for a spin by Scott James on lap 11, wiping out O’Neal’s lead. The restart would
see the upstart Isenberg go to third past Bloomquist, while 11th starting Brian
Birkhofer would take the fifth position. With Marlar pressuring O’Neal for the
lead, Bloomquist would challenge Isenberg for the third position and would take
the spot on lap 16. Birkhofer’s charge was not yet done as he would drive around
Isenberg for the fourth spot on lap 20 as the leaders began to work slower
traffic. The second caution of the event waved on lap 22 when Eric Wells would
roll to a stop on the backchute. Back underway, O’Neal and Marlar would continue
to battle for the lead, while Isenberg would go back to fourth, only to the spot
back to Birkhofer on lap 23. Brady Smith would work his way back into the top
five after getting around Isenberg on lap 27, while O’Neal and Marlar were
pulling away from Bloomquist. The third caution of the race waved on lap 34 when
Isenberg would get sideways entering turn one and Francis would get collected in
the melee as well. After a short red flag period to get the two tangled machines
separated, action would resume with Marlar nipping at O’Neal’s heels for the
lead, while Birkhofer would challenge Bloomquist for third. Caution would fly
for the fourth time in the event on lap 38 when Dan Schlieper would make heavy
contact with the turn three wall, ending his night. The restart would see
Birkhofer get by Bloomquist for third off of turn two, while O’Neal and Marlar
would again scoot away from the field. The final caution of the event flew on
lap 43 when Tim Tungate’s mount would roll to a stop in turn two. The final
restart would see O’Neal maintain the race lead and actually put a bit of
distance back to Marlar to take the victory in the Independence Lumber/Superior
Cleaning/Jones Core sponsored #71 MasterSbilt Race Car, Jay Dickens powered
machine. Marlar, Birkhofer, Bloomquist, and Smith would complete the top five.
The remainder of the top ten would be 14th starting Ray Cook, Brad Neat, 15th
starting Dale McDowell, Jimmy Owens, who would pit for a flat tire and go tail
on the field on the lap 11 caution, and 23rd starting Earl Pearson, Jr.
In preliminary action, O’Neal would be the overall top qualifier at 14.772
seconds and win his heat, while other heat winners were Marlar, Bloomquist, and
Smith. Scott James and Shane Clanton were B-Main winners, while series
provisionals went to Pearson, Jr. and Schlieper, while track provisionals were
Jeff Watson and Lee Devasier.
The 12 lap UMP Street Stock main event would see Shane Lafollette get by Mark
Filiatreau around the mid-point of the event, with Lafollette holding off the
charges of Scott Beeler to capture the feature event win in the division aboard
the David Copley owned Advance Auto Parts/Larue Insurance/Geneva’s Florist and
Gifts/K&K Flower Shop/Select Designs/Henry Miller #1 U.K. Fan sponsored #63 Ford
Thunderbird. Beeler would take second, followed by Filiatreau, Fred Mercer, and
Adam Burch. Heat race wins would go to Filiatreau and Beeler.
Billy Meredith would take the lead at the drop of the green flag on the 15 lap
WBRT 1320-AM UMP Sportsman main event and would never lose the top spot on his
way to his second win of the season in his Easy Trucking/Elite Auto
Group/Parkway Service Center/Cabin Creek Farms sponsored #25 Chevy Monte Carlo.
Robbie Settles would challenge Meredith late in the event, but would settle for
second, followed by Roger Cecil, Avral Thompson, and Rob Jones. Heat race
victories would fall to Meredith and Jones.

“The Winfield Warrior” Wins 12th Annual Bluegrass 50 at Bluegrass Speedway
Bardstown, KY-August 7, 2010- Bluegrass Speedway would present its 12th Annual Bluegrass 50 on Saturday evening and Mike Marlar of Winfield, TN would drive to the checkered flag first in the 50 lap, $5,000 to win event for the 44 Auto Mart Super Late Model division. Other feature winners for the night included Billy Meredith of Hodgenville, KY in WBRT 1320-AM UMP Sportsman and Benji Lee of Loretto, KY in UMP Modifieds.
Mike Marlar and Mike Jewell would bring the 44 Auto Mart Super Late Model feature event to the green flag, with Jewell jumping to the race lead over Marlar, with Justin Rattliff, Jeff Watson, and Eric Wells in pursuit. Wells would drive past Watson on lap 2, while Jewell quickly opened a four-car length lead over Marlar. The front five would remain the same until the only caution of the event waved on lap 8 as Cody Mahoney would slow in turn four with a flat left-rear tire. The double-file restart would see Jewell again take the lead, with Marlar, Rattliff, and Wells giving chase, while Watson battled with Aaron Hatton for fifth. Hatton would get by Watson with a turn four slidejob pass on lap 9, while Marlar would nip at Jewell’s heels for the race lead. By lap 15, Jewell and Marlar would pull away a bit from Rattliff, but Rattliff would begin to reel in the front two as the lead duo began to work traffic on lap 19 as Hatton would get past Wells for fourth on the same circuit. As the race reached the halfway point, Marlar was still glued to Jewell’s rear bumper as Rattliff again made a charge toward the front pair. Jewell would negotiate traffic better than Marlar and gain a bit of breathing room by lap 28, but Marlar would soon run Jewell back down and bring Rattliff along as well. Marlar would finally make his move off of turn two on lap 34 and drive past Jewell for the lead in turn three. Meanwhile, Rattliff would close in on Jewell for the runner-up slot as the pair would battle side-by-side for the spot on lap 38 before the duo would race hard into turn three and contact would occur between the two, with Rattliff able to gain the position. Meanwhile, Marlar would pull away from the field over the final 10 laps and take the win in the David Wells owned Wells Motorsports/Valley View Enterprises sponsored #36 Rocket Chassis, Custom Race Engines powered mount. Rattliff, Jewell, Hatton, and Wells would complete the top five. The remainder of the top ten would be Jeff Watson, Brad Neat, Cody Mahoney, Tim Tungate, and Joey Daniel. Wells would be top qualifier among 16 entries at 15.269 seconds, while heat wins went to Marlar and Jewell.
Billy Meredith would take the lead at the drop of the green flag and drive on to his first WBRT 1320-AM UMP Sportsman feature event win of the season at Bluegrass Speedway behind the wheel of his Easy Trucking/Elite Auto Group/Parkway Service Center/Cabin Creek Farms sponsored #25 Chevy Monte Carlo, Sam Murphy Race Engines powered machine. Avral Thompson would take runner-up yet again in the main event, followed by Pat Hagan, Johnny Cecil, and Sam Mull. Hagan would be top qualifier among 9 entries at 18.508 seconds, while Meredith also won the heat.
Benji Lee would pull away around the midpoint of the 20 lap UMP Modified feature event and survive a late race restart with 6 laps remaining to take his third win of the season and 35th career UMP Modified feature event win at Bluegrass Speedway aboard his Thompson Heat and Air/VFM Manufacturing/Smart Shoppers/On Time Courier/On Time Construction/Springfield Auto and Farm/St. Joe Garage/Kirker Automotive Finishes sponsored #03 Bandit Race Car, Dale Meers Race Engines powered entry. Jason Wheatley would take runner-up honors, while Jacob Webber, Rocky Wilson, and Jeff Stith would complete the top five.

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.

Bardstown, KY-July 10, 2010- The National All Star Racing Association visited Bluegrass Speedway on Saturday evening and Eddie Carrier, Jr. of Salt Rock, WV would take $5,000 back to the Mountaineer State by capturing the win in the 12th Annual Kentuckiana Klash event. Other feature event winners for the evening included Barry Chesser of Bloomfield, KY in WBRT 1320-AM UMP Sportsman and Jason Wheatley of Loretto, KY would win his fourth straight UMP Modified main event.
Eddie Carrier, Jr. and David Webb would bring the 12th 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, 16th 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.

Bardstown, KY-June 26, 2010- The American Modified Series presented by Force Fuel and Engine Conditioner would visit Bluegrass Speedway on Saturday evening for the 10th Annual Mod Squad Bash and Jason Wheatley of Loretto, KY would grab the $1,500 payday in the event with an exciting last lap pass for the win. It would be 7th Annual Topless Terror Night for the 44 Auto Mart Super Late Models and Jeff Watson of Campbellsville, KY would take his second win of the season in the division, while Pat Hagan of New Haven, KY would score the victory in the WBRT 1320-AM UMP Sportsman feature event.
Bryan Barber would take the lead at the drop of the green flag on the 30 lap, caution-free main event, followed by Jason Wheatley, Michael England, Randle Sweeney, and Joey Kramer. Kramer would take fourth from Sweeney on lap 2 as Barber and Wheatley would set a torrid pace at the point. By lap 5, Sweeney was attempting to retake fourth from Kramer, but would be unsuccessful. Benji Lee would now begin to pressure Sweeney for fifth and would take the spot on lap 10 as Barber continued to hold the race lead, with Wheatley giving chase. The process of lapping slower traffic would begin on lap 11, with the lead pair of Barber and Wheatley clear of traffic until the halfway signal was shown on lap 15. The leaders would again get into traffic at this point, while Lee was mounting a charge on Kramer for the fourth position, with Lee finally able to claim the spot on lap 19. The leaders would again get into heavy traffic on lap 22, with England still third and starting to get some pressure from Lee, while Kramer held down the fifth spot. Wheatley would close right up on Barber on lap 27 and the pair worked carefully in and around lapped traffic. Wheatley’s opening would come as the white flag would be displayed and would jump to the bottom of turn one and fire the slidejob pass on Barber exiting turn two to take the race lead and see the checkered flag first. Wheatley’s win would come aboard the Kaylee and Tommy Wheatley owned St. Joe Garage/ VFM Manufacturing/Wheatley Seamless Gutters/Wheatley Tile Flooring/Wheatley Auto Sales/ Brian Wheatley Landscaping/Gootee and Mattingly Heat and Air/Central Kentucky Electrical and Plumbing/Brady Excavating/Mark Martin Chevrolet/Springfield Auto and Farm/Cozy Corner/ Rosewood Golf Course/TSM Shocks/Nukem Graphics sponsored #7 Larry Shaw Race Car by Landers, Mullins Race Engines powered machine. Barber would take second, followed by Benji Lee nipping Michael England for third in a photo finish, with Joey Kramer completing the five. The remainder of the top ten would be Randle Sweeney, John Demoss, Wayne Brooks, Earl Plessinger, and Randy Turpin. In preliminary action, Bryan Barber would lay claim to the SPEC Race Engines top qualifier award with a lap of 18.315 seconds. Barber would also win Wehr’s Machine and Racing Products heat one, Jason Wheatley would win PPM Racing Products heat two, Michael England would win Joe Gibbs Driven Racing Oil heat three, and Randle Sweeney would win Wiles Driveshafts heat four. The B-Mains would be captured by Elliott Despain and Levi Kissinger.
The 44 Auto Mart Super Late Models would be in action in the 7th Annual Topless Terror event and Jeff Watson would take the lead at the drop of the green flag, followed by Tim Rivers, Johnny Wheeler, Tim Tungate, and Lee Devasier. Tungate would go second on lap 2 as Wheeler would keep the pressure on Tungate, while Watson held a five car length on Rivers by lap 4. Steve Barnett would make his way into the top five past Devasier on lap 5, with the only caution of the race waving on lap 7 as Clarence Belcher spun his mount in turn two. The restart would see Watson maintain the point as Tungate pressured Rivers for the second position, with Barnett now challenging Wheeler for the fourth spot. Barnett would win the battle for fourth with Wheeler on lap 12 as Watson quietly pulled away to a ten car length lead on Rivers at the halfway signal. Rivers would close a bit on Watson and show his nose to Watson on lap 20, but Watson would stave off those challenges, while Tungate turned the heat back up on Rivers for second, with Tungate taking the runner-up spot as the field saw the white flag. But it would Watson’s night beneath the moon and stars with the top off sporting the convertible look to take the victory in the Finn and Jeff Watson owned Premier Integrity Solutions/Shofner Enterprises/Brad Burton Dairy Farms/Watson Plumbing/ Kitchen Krate Katering/Commercial Fleet Repair/B&W Irrigation/Sam’s Restaurant/ Wynn’s Oil Treatment sponsored #11 MasterSbilt Race Car, Frank Ofria Race Engines powered machine.

Wheeler was top qualifier among 11 entries at 17.289 seconds, while Rivers won the dash, with O’Neal winning the heat.
The WBRT 1320-AM UMP Sportsman main event would see Pat Hagan return to action after about a month off with engine troubles to claim the top spot in the division’s 15 lap main event in the seat of the Billy Holbert owned New Haven NAPA/New Haven Quick Stop/Willard’s Heating and Air/Brangers Race Engines/Holbert’s Auto Recovery sponsored #88 Chevy Monte Carlo mount.

Hatton is Dandy in 9th 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 9th 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 9th 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, 12th 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.

The 12 lap UMP Street Stock feature would turn into a two car battle between Shane Lafollette and Timmy Glazer, as these two drivers have dominated the UMP Street Stock division at Bluegrass Speedway this season. The battle on this night would have Lafollette out in front and repeatedly challenged by Glazer, but it would be Lafollette picking up the win in the David Copley owned Advance Auto Parts/Larue Insurance/ Geneva’s Florist/K&K Flower Shop/Select Designs/Rock’s Tobacco/Henry Miller #1 U.K. Fan sponsored #63 Ford Thunderbird.

It’s a “Nightmare” in World of Outlaws My Old KY Home Shootout at Bluegrass Speedway
Bardstown, KY-May 8, 2010- With the newest version of “A Nightmare on Elm Street” showing at movie theaters nationwide, it was a “Nightmare at Bluegrass Speedway” on Saturday evening as “The Newport Nightmare” Jimmy Owens of Newport, TN would prevail in the 8th Annual My Old Kentucky Home Shootout as the World of Outlaws Late Model Series made its first ever visit to Bluegrass Speedway. Other feature event winners included Barry Chesser of Bloomfield, KY in WBRT 1320-AM UMP Sportsman and Shane Lafollette of Hodgenville, KY in UMP Street Stocks.
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 11th 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 13th 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 12th 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, 17th 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.

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, 11th starting Hatton, Fields, and Devasier. Completing the top ten were 20th 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.

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.

The Modified division will see a revamping of sorts for the start of the new decade as the open-wheel pilots will feature sanctioning from the UMP Dirt Car organization, marking the first time that UMP has sanctioned the Modified division at Bluegrass Speedway since 1998. This will allow drivers in the Modified class to compete for state, regional, and national points in the Modified division of the UMP Dirt Car organization provided they are a member of UMP. A pair of extra paying open-wheel events will take place in 2010 and will be sanctioned under the auspices of the newly formed American Modified Series, which will also allow drivers to earn UMP points as well. The 10th Annual Mod Squad Bash will take place on May 15 and pay the winner $1,500, while the money will be doubled for the 10th Annual Bluegrass Rumble on Saturday July 24 as the winner will take home $3,000 that evening. The UMP Modifieds will also be sporting the convertible look for the 7th Annual Topless Terror Night on June 26. The tire rule for the UMP Modified division will be as follows: The Hoosier tire compounds of A40 and/or H40 are the only legal tire compounds and must be used on the front and rear of the Modified race cars. The D40 compound will not be permitted in action in regular shows or unsanctioned events. Randy Turpin of Benji Lee of Loretto, KY was the 2009 Modified track champion at Bluegrass Speedway.
The Sportsman division will return for competition again in 2010 with their always competitive style of action, but will also fall under the UMP Dirt Car sanctioning body. Bluegrass Speedway track rules will apply to the division, with drivers in this division eligible for state and national points, as long as they are a UMP member. The 2010 racing schedule will feature a pair of extra paying to win events for this division as well. The top event for the UMP Sportsman division at Bluegrass Speedway will be on June 5 as the 7th Annual Shorty Gardner Memorial takes place with the winner walking away with $500. The UMP Sportsman division will also be highlighted during the 2010 Season Finale on September 25 in a $400 to win event. The tire rule for the UMP Sportsman division is as follows: If a racer chooses to run a street tire, the following pertains to the sizes on the street tires- 255 x 60 x 15 maximum (60 minimum); If a racer chooses to use a racing tire, it is Hoosier Tires only, with the Open Wheel Modified A40 and H40 compounds the only tire compounds eligible. Pat Hagan of New Haven, KY was the 2009 Sportsman track champion at Bluegrass Speedway.
The Street Stock division also returns for another season of side-by-side, close quarters competition in 2010 as this division seems to always produce some of the most exciting feature event finishes on almost a weekly basis. The Street Stock division will also be under the sanctioning auspices of the UMP Dirt Car group, with these drivers also eligible to earn UMP state and national points as long as they are a UMP member. Bluegrass Speedway track rules will apply in this division as well. There will be two extra paying to win event for the UMP Street Stock class in 2010, as the first one will take place on May 22 for $300 to win, with another $300 to win special for the UMP Street Stocks set for September 18. The tire rule for the UMP Street Stock divisions is as follows: Street tires only with a 255 X 70 X 15 DOT maximum; No racing tires allowed. Johnny Cecil of Bardstown, KY was the 2009 Street Stock track champion at Bluegrass Speedway.
Also, the American Sprint Car Tour will visit the high banks of Bluegrass Speedway on Saturday May 22 as the Indiana based Non-Wing Sprint Car tour will bring all steel-block horsepower to the Nelson County speedplant. A twist to the track points will also take place on two different occasions as well, as on Topless Terror Night on June 26 and on August 14, all racers in all divisions that are signed in to compete and make the A-Main in their respective divisions will receive first place track points on those two evenings of competition.
