(MENOMONIE, WISCONSIN) The Mars Racing team traveled literally down the road to the Red Cedar Speedway in Menomonie, Wisconsin on September 23-24 for the 32nd Annual 'Punky Manor Challenge of Champions.' Jimmy Mars won his heat race in preliminary action on Friday night and later rolled off from the outside of the front row in the $1,000 to win feature event. The Menomonie ace vied for the lead throughout the race, but wound up a strong second behind only race winner Chad Mahder.

When Saturday came around, the #28 team was gunning for the $5,000 top prize in the 'Punky Manor Challenge of Champions' finale. Jimmy ran second in his heat race and later started the A-Main from the sixth position. The popular driver known as the "Iceman" raced his way to the front of the field and eventually grabbed the top spot around the halfway point. Jimmy went on to pick up his fifth 'Punky Manor' title and his eleventh win of the 2011 season over Lance Matthees, Jake Redetzke, AJ Diemel, and Mike Prochnow. Full results from the weekend at Red Cedar can be viewed online at www.redcedarracing.com.

"The Punky Manor is one of the most prestigious races around our area and Red Cedar is one of my favorite tracks, so it is always sweet to win that event," exclaimed Mars this week. "We came up a little shy on Friday night, but got the car just right for Saturday's race. It is always a lot of fun to race in front of your hometown fans and to celebrate another Punky Manor title with them was really fun. Hopefully, we can get another big win at Knoxville this weekend - we have been good there in the past, but just haven't sealed the deal for the victory yet. Maybe this year will be our year!"

Jimmy and the #28 team will now turn their sole focus to the 8th Annual 'Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals' at the Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa from September 29-October 1. A pair of $7,000 to win Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series programs will kick off the three-day extravaganza tonight and Friday evening at the 1/2-mile complex, while Saturday's 100-lap finale will pay $40,000 to the winner.

Billy Moyer Notches Eighth Magnolia State 100 Title; Looks for Added Knoxville Success!

(BATESVILLE, ARKANSAS) The Billy Moyer Racing (BMR) team brought a brand-new Victory Circle by Moyer racecar to the Columbus Speedway in Columbus, Mississippi on September 23-24 for the 22nd Annual 'Magnolia State 100.' The decision to unveil the new car proved to be a smart one for the #21 team, as Hall of Famer Billy Moyer picked up his unprecedented eighth 'Magnolia State 100' title!

On Friday night, Billy laid down the second fastest lap in his group during the qualifying session at the "Baddest Bullring in the South" and later won his loaded heat race. After starting from the pole position of the 100-lapper on Saturday evening, Billy grabbed the top spot on the first circuit and held the point for the entire distance. It was not easy; however, as "Mr. Smooth" survived a couple of close calls in lapped traffic to record the hefty $20,011 payday. Billy and the team celebrated in victory lane for the twelfth time in 2011 by defeating Bub McCool, Eric Cooley, Brian Rickman, and Morgan Bagley. Full results and coverage is available at www.dirtondirt.com.

"I have to thank my whole team for working so hard on this new car and getting it ready for Columbus," quoted Moyer yesterday via telephone. "It was probably only 75% ready to go for that race, but it got the job done. There were a couple of hairy moments, but luckily I was able to get through the traffic to get the win. We have worked some late nights finishing up the car this week in preparation for Knoxville. Hopefully, it performs as well as the car we took up there a year ago. It would be really special to repeat at Knoxville this weekend!"

Billy and his #21 team will now turn their sole focus to the 8th Annual 'Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals' at the Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa from September 29-October 1. A pair of $7,000 to win Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series programs will kick off the three-day extravaganza tonight and Friday evening at the 1/2-mile complex, while Saturday's 100-lap finale will pay $40,000 to the winner. The high-definition cameras of the SPEED Channel will be on hand to tape all of the wheel-to-wheel action for broadcast in a matter of weeks. Billy will be looking to repeat his 2010 performance at Knoxville, as he swept all three races a year ago!

ASHLAND, KY – Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series driver, Steve Francis of Ashland, KY competed in the 32^nd Annual Jackson 100 this past Friday and Saturday Night at the Brownstown (IN) Speedway.

Steve would remain in the top five in the early going when Brian Birkhofer, who had just passed Steve for fourth, suffered a flat tire.

Steve’s #15 Valvoline/Roush-Yates/MasterSbilt Car would suffer enough damage to put him out of the race. Steve would end up being credited with a 19^th place finish.

This week the Steve Francis Race team ventures to the legendary Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, IA for the Eighth Annual Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals. On Thursday and Friday Night will be preliminary nights with $7,000 to win each night. On Saturday Night will be the $40,000 to win finale.

The night would start well as Jason started fifth in his heat race before charging to the win to earn the third starting spot for the main event. Rauen would look to have a car to contend for the win early in the race before a broken shock created handling issues. He would still battle the ill-handling car to a solid fourth place finish behind race winner, Kyle Berck, Denny Eckrich, and John Anderson.

Saturday night found Jason in action in the second night of the Cornhusker Classic at I-80 Speedway (Greenwood, Nebraska) as 46 entries registered for action in the Lucas Oil MLRA and Corn Belt Clash co-sanctioned event.

This weekend, September 29th-October 1st, Jason will invade Knoxville Raceway (Knoxville, Iowa) for the 8th Annual Lucas Oil Knoxville Late Model Nationals, which will be sanctioned the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS).

Longview, Texas (09/28/11) – Although Morgan Bagley spent the majority of the 22nd Annual Magnolia State 100 weekend in an uphill battle, by the time that the checkered flag dropped on the 100 lap finale the driver had piloted his #14m McMillan Motorsports/Rocket By Club 29 Super Late Model to a top five finish.

McMillan Motorsports and Morgan Bagley made their first ever trip to "The Baddest Bullring in the South" Columbus Speedway (Columbus, Mississippi) over the weekend for the 22nd Annual Premier Ford Magnolia State 100. With 53 cars entered, Morgan would find himself behind the eight ball early in the weekend after struggling in time trials, which left him starting sixth in his heat. He would be unable to make up any ground in his heat, finishing in the 6th position, which resulted in him starting on the third row of his b-main on Saturday night.

In the b-main, he would quickly battle his way forward to contest the final transfer spot with Timothy Culp. The pair would have a heated battle for the final transfer position before seeing Bagley come up just short of claiming it. Luckily a last chance qualifier was held, and Bagley would win the race from the front row to earn the 25th starting spot for the 100 lap, $20,011-to-win feature.

Early in the feature, Morgan would dodge several cautions as he began racing his way forward. By the race's midway point he was up to the fifth position, and over the next several laps he would reach as high as the second spot before his groove began to go away. He would still manage to record a very strong fifth place finish behind race winner, Billy Moyer, Bub McCool, Eric Cooley, and Brian Rickman!

"To race with those guys and perform like this in such a big event is unbelievable. It was a long weekend for the team, but it ended great. We can head back home now with a big smile on our face. This is really a big deal for us," commented the rookie Super Late Model pilot, Bagley.

The upcoming weekend will see the team enter a single event as they enter the final O'Reilly SUPR Super Late Model event of the season at 171 Speedway (Leesville, Louisiana) on Saturday, October 1st. The $2,500-to-win event may mark the final series' event of the 2011 season, but Bagley has already clinched the 2011 O'Reilly SUPR crown, and will be looking to end the season this Saturday with an exclamation point. For more information on the event, please visit www.SUPRRacing.com .

Morgan Bagley would like to thank all of his sponsors, which include P&W Sales (Oil Field Manufacturers Rep.), MSI (Pumps, Valves, & Manifolds), Mr. Frank Motorsports, Wehrs Machine, Southern Transport, Outerwears Pre-Filters, Bulldog Rear Ends, 360 Motorsports, Sunoco Race Fuels, ShowTime Signs, D&T Racing, J&J Motorsports, Indy Screen Print, Club 29, Hyperco, and MSRMafia.com.

Fulton, MS (09/27/11) –Eric Cooley drove his #33c Victory Circle by Moyer/Jeff Burns Racing Engine Super Late Model to a third place finish over the weekend in the South's biggest paying race, the 22nd Annual Magnolia State 100

The weekend was a great outing for Eric Cooley as he not only entered the 22nd Annual Premier Ford Magnolia State 100 in a Super Late Model for the first time, but he also raced his entry to a third place finish in the main event.

Fifty-three cars entered the event, and Eric started the weekend by qualifying fourth fastest in his group to earn the fourth starting spot for his heat race. In the heat he battled to a third place finish to earn the 15th starting spot for Saturday night's 100 lap, $20,011-to-win finale.

In the feature on Saturday night Cooley would dodge several early cautions before the race began to endure some long green flag runs. As the race progressed Cooley methodically worked his way forward, and by the time that the checkered flag fell, the talented young driver would be credited with a third place finish behind race winner, Billy Moyer, and Bub McCool. Not only did it mark Eric's first start in the coveted event, but to also come away with a third place finish was a huge accomplishment and gives the team momentum heading into the late season specials.

"This just seems like a dream. To not only make this race in my first try, but to finish third against a field of cars like this and behind Moyer and McCool. I'm just waiting to wake up any minute," laughed Cooley.

This weekend, October 1st-2nd, the team will travel to East Alabama Motor Speedway (Phenix City, Alabama) for the 33rd Annual Alabama State Championship at the 4/10 mile oval.

After a couple of near-misses in lapped traffic the race would endure a long green flag run with Bub falling as far back as fifth before racing his way back to a second place finish behind Moyer at the finish line. The lead duo were followed across the finish line by Eric Cooley, Brian Rickman, and Morgan Bagley. Full results are available at www.ColumbusSpeedway.net.

Ray Cook Dominates Carolina Clash Event at Wythe; Eyes Jackson 100 this Weekend!

(BRASSTOWN, NORTH CAROLINA) The "Tarheel Tiger" Ray Cook nabbed his sixth victory of the 2011 campaign on Saturday evening, September 17 at the Wythe Raceway in Rural Retreat, Virginia! Ray set a New Track Record during Carolina Clash Super Late Model Series qualifying at the picturesque 1/2-mile oval to earn the pole position for the 40-lapper. The driver of the Rockstar Energy Drink / Makita Industrial Power Tools / Hicks & Ingle Co. #53 MasterSbilt / Race Engine Design entry then dominated the feature event by leading flag-to-flag to record the $4,000 triumph over Kenny Compton, Jr., Dennis Franklin, Jeff Smith, and Ray Tucker!

In other action over the weekend, the #53 D&R Motorsports team competed in two Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series showdowns in the Commonwealth of Virginia. At the Winchester Speedway in Winchester, Virginia on Friday night, Ray ran sixth in his heat race, third in his B-Main, and later passed eight competitors in the $10,000 to win feature to finish in the fourteenth position. On Sunday afternoon at the pristine Virginia Motor Speedway in Jamaica, Virginia, Ray finished fifth in his 25-lap qualifying race before selecting too hard of a tire for the $15,000 to win 'USA 100.' The Brasstown, North Carolina native wound up a disappointing twentieth in the rain-shortened 31-lap event. Full results from the long weekend in Virginia can be accessed online at www.dirtondirt.com.

"That win at Wythe was a big one for our team, especially how the rest of the weekend shook out for us," stated Cook following the long weekend. "Our car was excellent at Wythe all night, but we just missed a little something at Winchester and Virginia Motor. It seems like we do all of the right things in some of these non-Lucas Oil races, but then in the series events, we do the wrong thing to the car at the wrong time. We will keep working hard at the shop and hope to make the right decisions this weekend at Brownstown!"

Next up for the D&R Motorsports team will be the 32nd Annual 'Jackson 100' at the legendary Brownstown Speedway in Brownstown, Indiana on September 23-24.

(SOLON SPRINGS, WISCONSIN) Brady Smith, of Solon Springs, Wisconsin, continued his stellar month by sweeping the annual running of the 'Legendary 100' at the renowned Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wisconsin on September 15-17! On Thursday night in preliminary action, Brady ran second in his heat race prior to notching a convincing victory in the $300 to win qualifying main event. By virtue of the win over Joel Cryderman, Ashley Anderson, Don Shaw, and Chad Mahder, Brady earned the rights to the pole position for the 'Legendary 100' on Saturday evening.

The driver known as the "Prodigy" once again proved to be the class of the field on Saturday at CLS. He grabbed the lead at the drop of the green flag in the 'Legendary 100' and led flag-to-flag in the 40-lapper to notch his seventh triumph of the 2011 racing season. Brady picked up the $5,000 top prize by beating Steve Laursen, Darrell Nelson, Joel Cryderman, and A.J. Diemel to the checkers. Complete results from the entire 'Legendary 100' weekend can be accessed online at www.cedarlakespeedway.com.

"Our car performed flawlessly all weekend at Cedar Lake," exclaimed Smith earlier this week. "We did what we needed to do on Thursday night to get the pole and the track position for Saturday's big race. The last month or so has been pretty good to us and I hope that continues into Knoxville next weekend. I love racing at that place and have knocked down some good finishes in the past there, including winning the Knoxville Nationals in 2007. That would be really cool to win that race again and that is our goal heading into next weekend!"

Brady and his #2 team have opted to take the upcoming September 23-24 weekend off from racing action and will instead start prepping their equipment for the 8th Annual 'Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals.' The historic Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa will play host to the three-day extravaganza from September 29-October 1.

Trumann, AR (09/21/11) – Despite mechanical woes after time trials Kyle Beard unloaded a backup car and raced his way from the back of the pack to a top ten finish in the 7th Annual Bama Brawl at North Alabama Speedway in his #86 Victory Circle M1 Chassis By Moyer/Samuels Performance Racing Engine Super Late Model.

Kyle made the trip to North Alabama Speedway (Tuscumbia, Alabama) on Saturday night for the 7th Annual Bama Brawl, which posted a $4,000-to-win/$400-to-start purse for the 40 lap feature event. With 29 cars entered, the night would seem to start well for Beard as he qualified fourth fastest in his group to lock into the eighth starting spot for the feature. However, prior to the feature the team would discover a possible valve spring issue. As a result, they were forced to unload their backup car, which resulted in them having to forfeit their starting spot to start last in the feature.

During the course of the feature, Kyle would amazingly enjoy a strong run in a car that had not even been hot lapped. He would race his way from the 22nd starting spot to a 10th place finish at the checkered flag. Full results are available at www.NorthAlabamaSpeedway.com.

This weekend, September 22nd-24th, the team will travel to "The Baddest Bullring in the South" as they enter the 22nd Annual Magnolia State 100 at Columbus Speedway (Columbus, Mississippi). In 2010 Kyle opened a lot of eyes as he overcame a DNF in his heat due to a flat tire to start on the back of a b-main before racing his way forward to claim the final transfer spot to the feature in the last chance qualifier. He went on to race his way from the 26th starting position to record an 8th place finish. This year he will look to improve on the finish. The event gets underway with an Open Practice Session on Thursday night before seeing time trials and heat race action contested on Friday night, while b-mains, the last chance qualifier, and the 100 lap finale will be held on Saturday night. For more information on the event, please visit www.ColumbusSpeedway.net .

Longview, Texas (09/20/11) – Despite one race still remaining on the 2011 tour Morgan Bagley clinched the 2011 O'Reilly SUPR Late Model crown in his #14m McMillan Motorsports/Rocket By Club 29 Super Late Model with his performance last Saturday at the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track.

For the first time in 15 years a Texan has won the O'Reilly SUPR Series Championship. With only one race remaining and a point lead of 171 points, Morgan Bagley has been named the 2011 O'Reilly SUPR Super Late Model Series Champion. There was a possibility that there would be one additional race scheduled, but O'Reilly SUPR officials posted on their Facebook page this morning that the race would not be scheduled. Since the maximum points available in any event is only 130 points, Morgan and Team 14 have clinched the title.

"To win the O'Reilly SUPR Championship in my first year in a Super Late Model is really something special. Our goal this year was to just win the rookie honors, and we never dreamed we could claim the overall championship. I can't think all of our sponsors, fans, and supporters enough for helping to make this happen," commented an elated Bagley.

McMillan Motorsports traveled to the state-of-the-art, Texas Motor Speedway DIrt Track on Saturday for the U.S. Dirt Track Championship. The $3,500-to-win event, which was sanctioned by the O'Reilly SUPR Super Late Model tour saw a field of 34 cars entered in the program. The event would start well for Bagley as he won his heat race from the second starting position to earn the third starting spot for the 40 lap finale. The team was excited about their chances for the feature, but they would be at a disadvantage for the feature as they had elected to utilize their open motor for the program, and by the time the feature took to the track, extremely slick conditions would great the competitors. As a result, Bagley would slide backwards to an eleventh place finish by the time that the checkered flag flew.

Despite not having the outing that the team had hoped, Morgan holds a 171 point lead in the O'Reilly SUPR Super Late Model standings heading into the season finale at 171 Speedway (Leesville, Louisiana) in two weeks. Full results and the latest standings are available at www.SUPRRacing.com.

The upcoming weekend, September 22nd-24th, will see the team travel to "The Baddest Bullring in the South," Columbus Speedway (Columbus, Mississippi) for the 22nd Annual Magnolia State 100. The $20,011-to-win and $1,000-to-start event gets underway on Thursday night with an Open Practice Session before seeing time trials and heat races contested on Friday night. Saturday night's program will include b-mains, the last chance qualifier, and the lap feature event. For more information, on the event please visit www.ColumbusSpeedway.net .

Westville, Oklahoma (09/20/11) – Jason Hughes claimed his fourth Casey's General USMTS Hunt win of the season behind the wheel of his #12 West Siloam Pawn/Gressel Racing/Hughes/Mullins Race Engines Open Wheel Modified on Thursday night at Humboldt Speedway.

Fresh from enjoying a one week break, Jason returned to the Casey's General USMTS tour on Thursday night at Humboldt Speedway (Humboldt, Kansas) with a $2,000-to-win event, which served as a make-up from a rainout earlier in the tour. A talent-laden field of 48 competitors entered the program, and a big number at the pill draw left Hughes starting ninth in his heat race. He would pass four cars on his way to a fifth place finish, which left him just shy of accumulating enough points to lock into the feature. As a result, he started third in a b-main, which he won to lock into the 13th starting spot for the 40 lap finale.

In the feature his #12 Hughes Race Car would be a rocket ship as he quickly advanced through the field, and on lap 19 he would take over the top spot. The remainder of the feature would see him leave the competitors in the dust as he claimed the win by over three second. He was followed across the finish line by Kelly Shryock, Ryan Gustin, Jeremy Payne, and Dereck Ramirez. The win was his fourth of the Hunt and his fourteenth of the 2011 campaign! Full results are available at www.USMTS.com.

Much to the dismay of Jason in his hopes to make up major ground in the Casey's General USMTS Championship Hunt, the events scheduled for Friday through Sunday night all fell victim to rain. Mother Nature claimed the wins at Outlaw Motor Speedway (Muskogee, Oklahoma), Salina High Banks Speedway (Salina, Oklahoma), and West Plains Motor Speedway (West Plains, Missouri).

Jason continues to be third in the Casey's General USMTS Hunt standings behind leader, Ryan Gustin, and Kelly Shryock, and Hughes Race Cars continues to lead the Tiger Rear Ends Manufacturers Points. The latest tour standings are available at www.USMTS.com.

Just three events remain in the 2011 Casey's General USMTS Hunt as the tour rolls into Deer Creek Speedway (Spring Valley, Minnesota) for the 13th Annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree this weekend, September 22nd-24th.. The annual pilgrimage of the nation's best Open Wheel Modified pilots to the famed oval will offer a possible $15,000-to-win for the competitors.

In time trials he would register the 15th fastest time and with an invert of three drawn, he would earn the pole position for the third heat on Saturday night. Early in his heat he would jump the cushion causing him to fall back a few spots, and he would only be able to manage a fourth place finish, which relegated him to a b-main.

Landers was slated to start third in the b-main, but after pole-sitter, Jason Feger, was forced to scratch he was moved up to the pole position alongisde, Dave Satterlee. Landers would blast to the lead in the first corner and never looked back on his way to the win, which earned him the 21st starting position for the feature event.

Winfield, Tennessee (09/15/11) – Mike Marlar took the #5 Bryson Motorsports/Rocket/Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model into battle over the course of last weekend in the 41st Annual World 100 and came away with a top ten finish to show for his efforts.

The team entered the 41st Annual World 100 at Eldora Speedway (Rossburg, Ohio) last weekend, September 9th-10th, in the #5b Bryson Motorsports Rocket. A talented field of 112 entries took part in the program, and Mike started his weekend by qualifying eighth fastest in time trials to earn the second starting spot for the second heat race on Saturday night. Marlar would run second for much of his heat race before near disaster struck on lap 8, when he lost power entering turn one. He would begin to slow in turn two, and at the same time a crash in turn four would cause the caution to be displayed. Under the caution he was able to get the car refired as he reassumed the second spot. Despite being able to continue he wasn't getting full power to his distributor, and over the closing laps he would slip to the third position, and at the checkered flag, John Blankenship would take the third position by a matter of inches.

Mike would be able to fall back on his qualifying time as the second quickest driver to not make the feature, and as a result, he received the twentieth starting position for the 100 lap, $44,000-to-win event. During the course of the feature he would advance to as high as the eighth position before ultimately finishing in the tenth position. Full results are available at www.EldoraSpeedway.com .

Carrollton, Mississippi (09/13/11) –Klint Byars experienced a wide gambit of emotions over the weekend as he piloted his #5 Southern Belle/K&K Motorsports/Victory Circle M1 Chassis By Moyer/Jay Dickens Racing Engine Super Late Model in the 41st Annual World 100.

Klint made his first ever trip to Eldora Speedway (Rossburg, Ohio) over the weekend for the 41st Annual World 100. The $44,000-to-win event at the famed, 1/2 mile oval drew 112 of the nation's best drivers, and Klint started his weekend by opening a lot of eyes by qualifying ninth fastest to earn the second starting spot for the third heat race on Saturday night.

Saturday night would see Byars rocket to the lead in the first corner as he drove around Jimmy Owens for the lead, and he would maintain the top spot until heartbreak struck on lap 8, when his oil line cover came loose cutting his right rear tire. The flat tire would send him pitside and would bring his weekend to an end as only the top 11 cars moved on to a b-main. Even though it was a very disappointing end to the weekend, Klint and entire team were pleased with how they stacked up against the nation's best drivers and look forward to the season ending specials.

"I was so overwhelmed by the size of this place when we got here on Thursday. I had never even seen it before, and it was pretty intimidating. For us to come out of the box so strong really means a lot. Words can't describe how big of a deal this was to me to come out and qualify so well and lead the heat, but I'm definitely heartbroken over the way it ended," commented Byars.

This Saturday, September 17th the team is slated to invade North Alabama Speedway (Tuscumbia, Alabama) for the 7th Annual Bama Brawl, which will pay $4,000-to-win and $400-to-start for the 40 lap event. For more information, please visit www.NorthAlabamaSpeedway.com .

After a one week break Gary returned to the cockpit of his #58x Mastersbilt Super Late Model in an O'Reilly SUPR Super Late Model event on Friday night at USA Speedway (Sterlington, Louisiana).

Due to being black-flagged in his heat he started at the back of a b-main, but would retire early from the race due to no passing. Full results are available at www.DirtOnDirt.com.

He would quickly work his way to the lead and never looked back as he lapped up to the fourth place car on his way to his second win of the 2011 campaign! Full results are available at www.DevilsBowlSpeedway.com.

Jimmy Mars Claims Tenth Win of 2011 at Manitowoc; Starts Prepping for Labor Day Weekend!

(MENOMONIE, WISCONSIN) The Mars Racing team made a last-minute decision to invade the Manitowoc Expo Speedway in Manitowoc, Wisconsin on Tuesday night, August 23 and it paid off to the tune of a $3,000 victory! Jimmy Mars won his heat race in preliminary action and later rolled off from the outside of the front row in the 40-lap WDLMA main event. The Menomonie, Wisconsin ace then dominated the feature by leading flag-to-flag to record his tenth win of the 2011 campaign over A.J. Diemel, Nick Anvelink, Justin Hirt, and Russ Scheffler. Full results from Manitowoc can be accessed online at www.dirtondirt.com.

"It was good to rebound with a win at Manitowoc after posting a couple of disappointing finishes in Michigan last weekend," quoted Mars today via telephone. "We had a great car all night, but heavy lapped traffic made things interesting late in the race. Luckily, I was able to get through it without something crazy happening and went on to the victory. It is going to be a busy month of September, so we are going to spend some extra time at the shop getting our equipment in order before heading to Fairbury next weekend!"

Jimmy and his #28 team have decided to take the upcoming August 26-27 weekend off from Dirt Late Model competition. They will be busy prepping their equipment for a huge Labor Day holiday weekend in the Land of Lincoln. The Mars Racing team will travel to the Fairbury American Legion Speedway in Fairbury, Illinois and the Farmer City Raceway in Farmer City, Illinois from September 2-4. The three UMP events at those two venues will pay out a total of $20,000 to the winners. Below is the upcoming schedule for the team:

(SOLON SPRINGS, WISCONSIN) The Brady Smith Racing team captured their third triumph of the 2011 racing season and their biggest win to date this year on Saturday night, August 20 at the Merritt Raceway in Lake City, Michigan! Brady Smith swept the night's racing activity in his first-ever visit to Merritt, as he laid down the quickest lap in World of Outlaws Late Model Series qualifying and later won his heat race. After drawing the pole position prior to the start of the 50-lapper, Brady led flag-to-flag to claim the $10,000 victory over Dennis Erb, Jr., Jason Feger, Darrell Lanigan, and Josh Richards!

A day earlier, the #2 team entered another $10,000 to win World of Outlaws Late Model Series program at the Winston Speedway in Rothbury, Michigan. Brady timed in fourteenth fastest during the qualifying session and later grabbed the fourth and final transfer spot through his heat race. Unfortunately, the Solon Springs, Wisconsin ace retired early in the 50-lap main event with overheating issues and wound up twenty-third in the final rundown. Full results from both shows in the Wolverine State can be viewed online at www.worldofoutlaws.com.

"It was our first time ever to Merritt and we had a fantastic car right out of the box," exclaimed Smith earlier this week. "We were fast, there is no doubt about that, but we also had some good luck on our side too. If we didn't redraw the pole for the feature, it would have made it awfully tough to have won the race. But, things went our way and we were fast enough to capitalize on the great starting spot.

August 17th, 2011 - Jason scored his first win of the 2011 Casey's General USMTS Hunt on Wednesday night at Ogilvie Raceway (Ogilvie, Minnesota). With 37 entries on hand Hughes advanced from the fourth starting spot to claim his heat race win, which locked him into the redraw for the 40 lap, $2,000-to-win feature.

After receiving the fourth starting spot for the main event in the redraw, Hughes would move past Corey Dripps for the second spot on lap 13, and by lap 23 he was pressuring Jon Tesch for the lead as the front runners encountered lap traffic. The 28th circuit would see Hughes move to the top spot with Gustin soon moving into the second spot to pressure the leader. Jason would fend away the advances of Gustin to claim the win. Gustin, Tesch, Kelly Shryock, and Jason Jensen rounded out the top five at the checkered flag. The win was eleventh overall on the 2011 season.

August 18th, 2011 - The Casey's General USMTS Hunt rolled into Rice Lake Speedway (Rice Lake, Wisconsin) on Thursday night for another $2,000-to-win event. The night started well for Hughes as he charged from the back of his heat race to finish second, which locked him into the redraw for the feature. Unfortunately he would receive the 8th starting spot for the feature from the redraw, which put several good cars between him and the front of the pack. In the main event he would only manage to advance a single position to a seventh place finish.

August 19th, 2011 - On Friday night Jason Hughes took part in the Casey's General USMTS Hunt event at Mississippi Thunder Speedway (Fountain City, Wisconsin) as 42 entries registered for action. It would prove to be a long, frustrating night for Hughes as he saw mechanical issues in his heat race force him to a last place finish in the heat and a scratch from the b-main. He would utilize a series' provisional to start 27th on the grid for the 40 lap, $2,000-to-win feature. Despite starting last in the field, Jason would pass thirteen cars in the feature on his way to a 14th place finish, which earned him the Mesilla Valley Transportation Hard Charger Award.

August 20th, 2011 - The ultra-busy weekend for the Casey's General USMTS competitors continued on Saturday evening at Hamilton County Speedway (Webster City, Iowa). With 28 Open Wheel Modifieds entered into the $2,000-to-win event Jason started the night by finishing second in his heat race to earn the ninth starting spot for the 40 lap feature. In the main event he would methodically work his way through the pack, and by the time that the checkered flag fell he had registered a second place finish behind race winner, Kelly Shryock.

August 21st, 2011 - Jason wrapped up a five day stretch of action with the Casey's General USMTS tour on Sunday night at Noble County Speedway (Worthington, Minnesota) in what would prove to be a rough night for the team. Twenty-six competitors registered for the program, and after finishing second in his heat race, Jason locked into the redraw for the feature, where he received the fifth starting spot. Hughes would battle in the top ten for the first half of the feature before mechanical issues brought his feature to an end on lap 30 in the 20th position.

Hughes is now third in the national standings behind Ryan Gustin and Shryock, and Hughes Race Cars leads the Tiger Rear Ends Manufacturer's Championship points. Full results and the latest tour standings are available at www.USMTS.com.

This weekend, August 25th-27th, Jason will have the opportunity to make up ground in the point's battle as he will resume action with the Casey's General USMTS Hunt with a trio of events.

Batesville, Arkansas (08/23/11) – Jared Landers backed up his 2010 COMP Cams Topless 100 Championship by piloting his #777 Clint Bowyer Motorsports/Rocket/Earnhardt Childress Racing Engine Super Late Model to a third place finish in the 2011 edition of the event over the weekend.

Jared Landers entered the 19th Annual COMP Cams Topless 100 over the weekend as he made the short trip to his home track, Batesville Motor Speedway (Locust Grove, Arkansas). The $40,000-to-win, Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) saw a field of 55 competitors register for action on Friday night, and after battling the setup in Red Buck Cigar qualifying, he would only be able to manage the fifth starting for his heat race. Despite starting around mid-pack he would race to a second place finish in his heat, which locked him into the redraw for the feature, where he received the tenth starting spot.

Saturday night would see the finale for the event get underway under threatening skies. As the 100 lap feature went green, Landers would quickly come to the front as he was up to the fourth position by lap 12 when the skies opened drenching the 3/8 mile oval, forcing the remainder of the event to be postponed until Sunday afternoon at 2pm.

Sunday afternoon greeted the fans and competitors with hot and sunny conditions, and as the race resumed Jared would challenge Owens for the second spot before taking over the position by lap 35 as he set his sights on the leader, Scott Bloomquist. Two laps later Landers would briefly pull even with Bloomquist before seeing the leader motor away from him. Jared would hold down the second position until lap 89, when lapped traffic caused him to bobble, allowing Owens to slip by for the second spot. Landers would go on to cross the finish line in the third spot behind race winner, Bloomquist, and Owens. Full results are available at www.LucasDirt.com.

The team will have a short turn-around time as the team enters a trio of $10,000-to-win events this weekend, August 25th-27th, with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS). On Thursday night the tour will be in action at Volunteer Speedway (Bulls Gap, Tennessee) and will move onto Lawrenceburg Speedway (Lawrenceburg, Indiana) before concluding the weekend on Saturday night at Bluegrass Speedway (Bardstown, Kentucky).

August 21st, 2011 - Jon concluded a busy, five day stretch with the Casey's General USMTS tour on Sunday night at Nobles County Speedway (Worthington, Minnesota).

Prior to the rains the National Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame (NDLMHoF) held their annual ceremony, which included special awards. Bub received the NDLMHoF Spirit Award for his fundraising efforts for the Smithville, Mississippi tornado victims as well as Mississippi-area hospitals.

Despite a late start due to the weather the show was finally able to move ahead, but Bub's luck would take a turn for the worst as a broken oil pump belt on the second lap of the heat sent him pit-side and forced him to utilize a provisional to start the 100 lap, $50,000-to-win event. After starting 24th he would advance eight spots to record a 16th place finish at the checkered flag. Full results and the latest points are available at www.LucasDirt.com.

Crofton, Kentucky (08/16/11) - Dillan White piloted his #54 DW Motorsports/Mastersbilt/Jay Dickens Racing Engine Super Late Model to his second win of the season on Saturday night by topping the action at Highland Speedway (Highland, Illinois).

Dillan was back in action on Friday night at Kankakee County Speedway (Kankakee, Illinois) in the $3,000-to-win, Land of Lincoln Clash 40, which pitted the ALMS Super Late Models against the UMP Super Late Models as 32 cars entered the event. A sixth place finish in heat race action left Dillan short of a transfer to the feature, and as a result he had to run a b-main where he finished second to secure the 17th starting spot for 40 lap feature.

In the main event he would mount a solid charge through the field to record an 8th place finish at the checkered flag. Full results are available at www.KankakeeCountySpeedway.com.

Saturday night was a great outing for Dillan and the team as they earned their second win of the 2011 season. White entered a Weekly Racing Series Event at Highland Speedway (Highland, Illinois), and with seventeen cars entered he started the night by winning his heat race from the sixth starting spot. Via his heat performance, he earned a spot in the dash, where he finished second to lock him into the second starting spot for the feature alongside Paul Bailey. Dillan would work his way to the lead early in the feature and never looked back on his way to the win, which came over Chad Zobrist, Rick Salter, Frankie Martin, and Paul Bailey. Full results are available at www.HighlandSpeedway.com .

The upcoming weekend, August 19th-20th, will see the team in action in a pair of UMP Weekly Racing Series Events at Paducah International Raceway (Paducah, Kentucky) and Clarksville Speedway (Clarksville, Tennessee).

Batesville, Arkansas (08/16/11) – With a brand new car freshly assembled, Billy Moyer Jr. is set to take his #21jr Henderson Motorsports/Car City/Imperial Motors/Victory Circle M1 Chassis By Moyer/Pro Power Racing Engine Super Late Model into battle this weekend in the 19th Annual COMP Cams Topless 100.

The team intended to enter a pair of COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) Super Late Model events over the course of last weekend, but Mother Nature had other ideas as she cut the weekend in half with a rainout at Beebe Speedway (Beebe, Arkansas) on Friday night.

As a result, Billy entered a single event over the weekend as he traveled to West Plains Motor Speedway (West Plains, Missouri) on Saturday night for a $3,000-to-win, CCSDS Vs. MARS Super Late Model event. With 33 Super Late Models entered, Moyer Jr. charged from his third starting spot to win his heat, which earned him the JFR Graphics Pole Award for the 40 lap feature event with his Dad, Billy Moyer starting to his outside. The Father-Son combo would battle for the lead on the first lap with the elder Moyer narrowly edging Moyer Jr. to lead lap one. After that point Moyer would establish his dominance at the lead and went on to claim the win as Billy Moyer Jr. finished a strong second in a brand new car that he has assembled for the upcoming weekend's Topless 100. Full results are available at www.COMPDirt.com.

This weekend, August 18th-20th, Billy will head into battle in the 19th Annual COMP Cams Topless 100 as he looks for redemption from narrowly missing the starting grid for the event in 2010. The $40,000-to-win/$2,000-to-start, Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Event gets underway on Thursday night with an Open Practice Session. Friday night will be headlined by time trials and heat race action, while Saturday's program will be highlighted by b-main action and the 100 lap finale.

Winfield, Tennessee (08/16/11) – Mike Marlar turned a last second opportunity to drive the #16 Billy Ward Motorsports Rocket into a great outing over the weekend in the 29th Annual Sunoco Race Fuels North/South 100 as he raced his way to a fifth place finish in the $50,000-to-win, Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) event.

On Friday night with 74 Super Late Models entered, Mike qualified fifth fastest in his group to earn the second starting spot for his heat race on Saturday night.

On the heels of winning his heat, Marlar started fifth on the grid for the 100. During the course of the feature he would race his way to as high as the third position. However as the race progressed he began battling issues with the throttle peddle sticking, which caused him to slide backwards a few spots before ultimately recording a strong fifth place finish behind race winner, Jimmy Owens, Scott Bloomquist, Brad Neat, and Ray Cook.

After bad luck the past several weeks this was just what Marlar was needing to get his season pointed back in the right direction. The entire event was also taped by the SPEED TV cameras for airing on September 4th at 11am cst. Full results are available at www.LucasDirt.com .

This Saturday, August 20th Mike will make the trip to Cleveland Speedway (Cleveland, Tennessee) for the 21st Annual Jean Johnson Memorial at the 1/3 mile oval.

A year ago Jimmy Owens of Newport, TN came into the Sunoco Race Fuels North/South 100 at Florence (KY) Speedway trailing point’s leader, Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN by 280-points. What a difference a year makes. This year Owens enters the $50,000 to win event for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series ahead of Bloomquist by 140-points based on an amazing streak of top five finishes.

While the 39-year-old Owens has captured four series wins in 2011, he has put together a remarkable streak of 22 top five finishes in 23 races. That’s the consistency that Owens had hoped for when the year began, as the runner-up in the LOLMDS points the last two years to Bloomquist, many felt this was the year that Owens would unseat the Hall of Fame driver atop the points.

Owens, himself is building quite a resume that one day will most likely put him into the National Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame which sits on the grounds of Florence Speedway.. Last year Owens won a thrilling race over good friend, Earl Pearson Jr. of Jacksonville, FL to take his second career North/South 100 triumph. His first win in the crown-jewel event came in 2007.

“We’ve always run pretty well at Florence in the past,” said Owens. “Last year to beat Earl there at the end, that was pretty exciting, the fans seem to always see a good race at Florence and I look for this year to be no different.”

Owens and his race team are taking nothing for granted. During the off-week between the LOLMDS events at Tri-City (IL) and Lucas Oil (MO) Speedway they built a new Bloomquist Race Car. The first night out at Fonda, NY they won, and followed that up with two runner-up finishes at Utica-Rome (NY) and Hagerstown (MD).

Last week Owens and his crew skipped the USA Nationals at Cedar Lake (WI) Speedway to work on their truck. The old saying“taking it one race at a time” definitely holds true for Owens and his crew has the set their sights on a championship, but that must wait. With $90,000 in first place prize money alone up for grabs the next two weeks, Owens hopes to continue to build on his points lead.

“There’s a lot of racing left to go, from experience one bad finish for us and Scott’s right back there in the hunt, he can go on a winning streak just like that, hopefully we will continue to have solid finishes and let the points take care of themselves,” said Owens who’s only finish outside the top five in a series event this season was a sixth at East Bay back in February.

Activity at Florence Speedway will get underway on Thursday Night with a special practice session. On Friday Night will be Red Buck Cigar Time Trials, and on Saturday Night will be Heat Races, B-Mains and the 29^th Annual Sunoco Race Fuels North/South 100 Presented by Lucas Oil Products paying $50,000 to win and $2,500 to start.

One week after his first career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win, John Blankenship of Williamson, WV participated in his second career ARCA event, this time at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, PA. Blankenship driving for the famed-Venturini Motorsports Team finished 20^th, despite loosing a wheel on lap seven. Blankenship made his ARCA debut back in June at Winchester (IN) Speedway where he finished 10^th. His next scheduled start in the series will be at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield, IL on August 21^st, the day after he competes in the COMP Cams Topless 19 at Batesville (AR) Motor Speedway.

Veteran Steve Francis of Ashland, KY in his first season with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series has made the switch to a Roush-Yates powerplant under the hood of his MasterSbilt Race Cars. The 43-year-old former World 100 and Dirt Track World Championship winner debuted the new engine at the LOLMDS event on July 30^th at Hagerstown (MD) Speedway. Francis finished sixth in that event, and followed up at a World of Outlaws event at Shawano (W) with a fifth place finish and he wound up seventh in the final rundown for the USA Nationals last Saturday at Cedar Lake.

Francis, who has yet to win on the Lucas Oil Series tour this year, enters the race fourth in points as he will try to become only the second driver in the history of the North/South 100 from the state of Kentucky to win the prestigious event. The late Jack Boggs of Grayson, KY is the only homestate driver to win the annual event, and he won it a record three times.

Farley, Iowa (08/11/11) – It obviously wasn't the win that Jason Rauen had hoped to claim, but even the normally subdued, Rauen, had to smile after piloting his #98 Rauen Motorsports/MB Customs Super Late Model to a fourth place finish in the finale for the 24th Annual USA Nationals at Cedar Lake Speedway (New Richmond, Wisconsin) last weekend.

Jason entered the first night of the 24th Annual USA Nationals at Cedar Lake Speedway (New Richmond, Wisconsin) on Thursday night. The Corn Belt Clash-sanctioned event drew a field of 49 cars for the $5,000-to-win event. On the heels of charging from his fifth starting spot to a third place finish in his heat race, Rauen earned the thirteenth starting spot for the main event. The team would try some different setups for the feature as they tested for the remainder of the weekend, and Rauen would ultimately record a 15th place finish at the checkered flag. Full results are available at www.CornBeltClash.com.

On Friday night, the second leg of the 24th Annual USA Nationals at Cedar Lake Speedway was held, which was sanctioned by the World of Outlaws Super Late Models and served as the opening night of the $50,000-to-win program. It would prove to be a very memorable night for Rauen.

With 54 of the nation's top Super Late Models entered, Jason would start the night by blazing to the fastest time in qualifications. With a four invert in effect, Jason would start fourth in his heat race, but it wouldn't matter as Rauen blazed to the lead in just the first five laps of his heat and never looked back on his way to locking into the pole-sitter's dash for the feature. For the dash, he received the third starting spot in the redraw, but after a failed attempt to get the race underway, the pole-sitter, Chris Simpson would be moved back one row as Rauen was promoted to the pole position alongside Chris Simpson. Jason would quickly grab the lead in the dash, and led all ten laps to win the $500 dash bonus as well as the pole position for Saturday night's, 100 lap finale.

Saturday evening saw a very heavy race track as late afternoon rains drenched the oval. Rauen set by anxiously as he watched b-mains and the last chance qualifier held on the oval prior to the 100 lap feature. As the feature grid took to the track in front of the capacity crowd Rauen was joined on the front row by Jimmy Mars. At the drop of the green flag Rauen and Mars would began to duel for the lead, but as the field completed the first lap it was Rauen, who held down the top spot on the field. Rauen would maintain the lead through several caution flags over the first half of the race as Josh Richards worked into the second spot.

Rauen would hold the lead until lap 77, when Richards used the low-line to slip past in turns one and two. Over the next few laps, Rauen would lose two more spots as Birkhofer and Mars also slipped past before regaining his composure. Jason would go on to record a fourth place finish at the checkered flag behind race winner, Richards, Birkhofer, and Mars. Full results are available at www.WoOLMS.com.

"I wanted that win bad, but to finish fourth against that caliber of competition is really a big deal for me and my team. There late in the race I got away from where my car was the best, and it cost me a few spots, but I definitely learned from it. This gives us something to build upon," commented Rauen.

Jason was back in action with the World of Outlaws Super Late Models on Monday night at Independence Motor Speedway (Independence, Iowa). With 34 Super Late Models on hand for the $10,000-to-win event Jason qualified 14th fastest on the grid to earn the fourth starting spot for the second heat race. After finishing in the fourth position in the heat, Jason would lock into the 14th starting spot for the 50 lap main event. He would compete around midpack for much of the event before mechanical issues brought his night to an end on lap 38. He would be credited with a 16th place finish in the final rundown. Full results are available at www.WoOLMS.com.

The upcoming weekend has the team slated to tentatively enter a pair of Corn Belt Clash events with the first on Thursday, August 11th at Redwood Speedway (Redwood Falls, Minnesota) and the second on Friday, August 12th at Chateau Speedway (Lansing, Minnesota). For more information on the events, please visit www.CornBeltClash.com .

Alexander, Arkansas (08/10/11) – Drew Armstrong, who pilots the #01a Armstrong Auto-Sports/Larry Shaw Open Wheel Modified recently received big news as he was notified that he has been voted into the starting grid for the Fast Shaft All Star Invitational, which is held during the annual IMCA Super Nationals at Boone Speedway (Boone, Iowa in early September. Out of the over 400,000 votes that were received, Armstrong received more votes than any other driver, and he was the youngest driver voted into the event at the age of 16. The 98 candidates on the All-Star ballot included last season’s regional and state champions, and the winners of events that paid $1,000 or more held from June 1, 2010 through May 30, 2011. For more information, please visit www.IMCA.com/Supernationals/.

It was a long, adventurous, and disappointing weekend for Armstrong Autosports last week as the team took part in a pair of Weekly Racing Series Events at Batesville Motor Speedway (Locust Grove, Arkansas) and I-30 Speedway (Little Rock, Arkansas).

On Friday night at Batesville Motor Speedway Drew would see his pole starting position go to waste as a broken pull bar ended his night early. Full results are available at www.BatesvilleMotorSpeedway.net.

Saturday night at I-30 found Drew starting 14th on the feature grid, and was passing for the fourth spot, when he became involved in a racing incident. Much to the disagreement and dismay of the team, Armstrong would receive the black flag, ending his night early. Full results are available at www.I-30Speedway.com.

The upcoming weekend, August 12th-13th, will see Drew once again enter a pair of Weekly Racing Series Events as he will race at Batesville Motor Speedway (Locust Grove, Arkansas) on Friday and at I-30 Speedway (Little Rock, Arkansas) on Saturday night.

Quincy, Illinois (08/10/11) – On the heels of four wins in the ULMA Late Model Series and several top five finishes, 12 year-old, Jake Griffin has taken over the top spot in the tour standings.

When the latest edition of the ULMA points were released last week, history was made as Jake Griffin was shown as the point's leader, which marked the youngest driver to ever lead the standings. He currently leads the latest points over Jason Bodenhammer, Steve Clancy, Tommy Cordray, and Brett Wood. Griffin also continues to lead the ULMA Late Model track points at Callaway Raceway (Fulton, Missouri) and Scotland County Speedway (Memphis, Missouri)

Most people would think that the youngster would feel a great deal of pressure to contend for a national championship and to have a chance to be the youngest driver to ever win a Late Model national championship, but Jake comments, "There is really no pressure on me. I mean I'm just 12 years old so people don't expect much out of me. However, I guess it's more pressure on my competitors because they've been racing longer than I have and everybody expects them to beat me, so I think they (other drivers) feel a lot more pressure than I do."

Last weekend the team entered a pair of shows. Saturday night found the team at Scotland County Speedway (Memphis, Missouri) for a night of doubleheader racing action between the ULMA Late Model Series and the UMP Open Wheel Modified division. It would be another great point's night for Jake in the ULMA Late Model division as he powered his #08 Bob Pierce Chassis to a third place finish in the feature. However his luck in the UMP Open Wheel Modified division would not be as good as a leaking head gasket would bring his night to an end before the green flag ever dropped on the feature. For full results please visit www.ScotlandCountySpeedway.com.

The upcoming weekend, August 11th-13th, will see the team return to Callaway Raceway on Friday night before traveling to Scotland County Speedway on Saturday night, and then closing out the weekend on Sunday night at Quincy Raceway.

(CHICKAMAUGA, GEORGIA) Chickamauga, Georgia ace Dale McDowell captured his first checkered flag of the 2011 racing season on Thursday night, August 4 at the North Georgia Speedway in Chatsworth, Georgia! Dale laid down the second quickest lap during qualifying, which locked him into the outside of the front row for the unsanctioned 'Top Dog 50.' The popular driver known as the "MacDaddy" grabbed the top spot at the drop of the green flag and led wire-to-wire in the 50-lapper. Dale claimed the $5,000 payday in beating Ronnie Johnson, Ray Cook, William Thomas, and Randy Weaver to the checkers!

On Friday evening, the action quickly turned north to the Boyd's Speedway in Ringgold, Georgia for a $3,000 to win Southern Regional Racing Series (SRRS) showdown. Dale qualified fastest in his group during time trials and led the majority of the race from the outside front row. However, eventual winner Ray Cook was able to drive past McDowell in lapped traffic with about ten circuits remaining and Dale was forced to settle for a strong runner-up performance. Saturday's $5,000 to win Southern All Stars Dirt Racing Series (SAS) battle at the Cleveland (TN) Speedway was then rained-out. Full results can be obtained online at www.dirtondirt.com.

"We have been running better here as of late, so hopefully that is a good sign for the rest of the year," commented McDowell earlier this week. "It was a lot of fun to race around the house at some places we don't get to visit very much because of the Lucas Oil deal. We had a great car at North Georgia on Thursday and a pretty good one at Boyd's as well. Ray (Cook) was just more maneuverable through lapped traffic and he deserved to win the race. Hopefully, we can keep running up front, especially in some of these bigger races coming up on our schedule!"

The Clint Bowyer Racing team now has their sights set on the huge 'North/South 100' weekend at the venerable Florence Speedway in Union, Kentucky on August 12-13.

(BRASSTOWN, NORTH CAROLINA) Brasstown, North Carolina native Ray Cook racked up his fourth victory of the 2011 racing season on Friday night, August 5 at the Boyd's Speedway in Ringgold, Georgia! After timing in second fastest in his group during Southern Regional Racing Series (SRRS) qualifying, Ray rolled off fifth on the grid in the 40-lap feature event. The popular driver known as the "Tarheel Tiger" methodically worked his way to the front of the field and eventually grabbed the top spot away from Dale McDowell in lapped traffic with only ten circuits remaining. Ray went on to cash the $3,000 win over McDowell, Josh Putnam, Ronnie Johnson, and William Thomas!

A day earlier, the #53 D&R Motorsports team found themselves in the pit area at the North Georgia Speedway in Chatsworth, Georgia for the unsanctioned 'Top Dog 50.'

"We were just a little off at North Georgia, but we ran second most of the race until (Ronnie) Johnson went by us at the end. Then at Boyd's, our car was real maneuverable and I was able to get up to Dale (McDowell) and eventually passed him in lapped traffic for the win. I just have to thank the entire D&R Motorsports team and all of our great sponsors for all of their support!"

Brian Birkhofer Enjoys Stellar Weekend at Cedar Lake; Readies for Independence and West Liberty!

(MUSCATINE, IOWA) Brian Birkhofer turned in a stellar performance during the annual 'USA Nationals' weekend at the renowned Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wisconsin from August 4-6. On Thursday night, the DART Corn Belt Clash tour sanctioned a $5,000 to win program. Brian won both his heat race and the dash and later drew the outside front row starting spot for the 50-lap feature event. The Muscatine, Iowa ace grabbed the top spot at the drop of the green flag and paced the talented field from flag-to-flag. Brian notched his fourth victory of the 2011 racing season and the $5,000 payday over Jimmy Mars, Rick Eckert, Clint Smith, and Chris Simpson.

The $50,000 to win 'USA Nationals' show then kicked off on Friday evening and Brian laid down the ninth fastest lap in World of Outlaws Late Model Series qualifying. Following a fifth place effort in his heat race and a thirteenth place finish in his B-Main, Brian utilized a provisional courtesy of Thursday's win at CLS to gain access into Saturday's 100-lapper. The popular driver known as the "Muscatine Madman" started twenty-fourth on the grid in the 'USA Nationals,' but blasted his way towards the front. At the end of 100 green flag circuits, Brian found himself in the second position behind only race winner Josh Richards. Full results from the action-packed weekend at Cedar Lake can be viewed online at www.dirtondirt.com.

"It was a good weekend for us and we learned a lot about our car," commented Birkhofer, who raced at Cedar Lake with a bum shoulder. "We won on Thursday night in the opener, but our car wasn't where it needed to be and that showed on Friday. But, we drew well and everything went our way on Thursday and wound up in victory lane. Then before the feature on Saturday, I bounced a lot of ideas off of Jimmy and Chris Mars and we hit on something. The car was a whole lot better in the USA Nationals and I was able to drive up to second to finish behind (Josh) Richards. I have to take some good notes, so we come back to Cedar Lake starting closer to our USA Nationals setup as opposed to what we started with last Thursday."

Following his outstanding showing at Cedar Lake, Brian will return to his home state of Iowa this week for a pair of $10,000 to win showdowns. The Independence Motor Speedway in Independence, Iowa will play host to a World of Outlaws Late Model Series race tonight, August 8, while the West Liberty Raceway in West Liberty, Iowa will hold an unsanctioned program tomorrow night, August 9. The weekend plans for August 12-13 for the #15b team are currently up-in-the-air. Please keep visiting www.brianbirkhoferracing.com to view any last minute schedule changes or additions.

Longview, Texas (07/06/11) –Morgan Bagley continued his domination of USA Speedway in 2011 as he drove his #14m McMillan Motorsports/Rocket By Club 29 Super Late Model to another feature win at the facility on Friday night.

The last minute decision to enter the $2,000-to-win, COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) Super Late Model event on Friday night paid off big dividends for Bagley as he made it a perfect five-for-five at USA Speedway (Sterlington, Louisiana) as he won once again.

Twenty Super Late Models entered the event, and the night would start slow for Bagley as he finished deep in a heat race, which left him starting fifteenth on the grid for the feature. Bagley would fail to make up much ground early in the feature, but on lap 6 a twelve car pile-up would ensue in front of Morgan, and he would narrowly miss the accident. As a result, he would be moved to the third position for the restart behind race leader, Curtis Cook, and Trey Beene. Bagley would run third for the next several laps before moving up to the second spot with nine laps remaining when Beene retired with mechanical issues. Over the closing laps Bagley would begin to pressure Cook for the lead, and on the white flag lap he would use the highline to race his way past Cook to take over the spot as he led the last lap on his way to the win. The victory was his fifth of the year at USA Speedway and fifth overall on the season. Full results are available at www.COMPDirt.com.

On Saturday night Morgan was back on the O'Reilly SUPR Super Late Model trail at Baton Rouge Raceway (Baton Rouge, Louisiana) in a $2,500-to-win event. Twenty-four Super Late Models entered in the event, and in heat race action Bagley advanced one spot from his third starting spot to a second place finish to lock into the seventh starting spot for the 50 lap feature. During the course of the main event, he was able to advance only one spot to a sixth place finish at the checkered flag behind race winner, Jeff Chandler, Kevin Sitton, Timothy Culp, Robbie Starnes, and Jody Prince.

Morgan now has a 224 point advantage in the O'Reilly SUPR standings over Timothy Culp for the series' championship, and he also continues to lead the rookie standings. Full results and the latest standings are available at www.SUPRRacing.com.

Phenix City, Alabama (08/02/11) - William Thomas continued his strong season on Saturday night by powering his #22 Extreme Power Sports/Mastersbilt/Lamar Hunt Racing Engine Super Late Model to the victory in the 14th Annual Michael Head Jr. Memorial.

After a relaxing week on the beach the team returned to action with the Southern All Stars Series on Saturday night at Talladega Short Track (Eastaboga, Alabama) for the 14th Annual Michael Head Jr. Memorial. Twenty-nine Super Late Models entered the event, and in time trials William qualified 8th fastest to lock into the 8th starting spot for the $5,400-to-win feature.

Tim Busha, Billy Ogle Jr., Brandon Kinzer, and Terry Smith rounded out the top five in the 54 lap event.

(BRIGHT, INDIANA) Fresh off his runner-up championship effort on the grueling UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals tour, Scott James returned to action on Saturday, July 23 at the Florence Speedway in Union, Kentucky and recorded his third victory of 2011 in thrilling fashion! Scott timed in fifth fastest overall during the qualifying session at the 1/2-mile, Cincinnati-area venue and later won his heat race. After rolling off from the outside of the front row in the unsanctioned 'North/South 100' tune-up race, Scott and Darrell Lanigan traded paint and swapped the lead several times during the 50-lap main event.

With the fans up on their feet for the waning laps, the Bright, Indiana native finally disposed of Lanigan on lap 45, but the race was far from over. In heavy lapped traffic on the final circuit, Lanigan pulled alongside James coming out of turn four, but Scott was able to push a lapped car across the checkers to nip Lanigan at the line to record the $5,000 win. The collision with the lapped car at the finish line turned Scott into the frontstretch wall after the race, but the #81 Riggs Motorsports team was still able to celebrate their victory over Lanigan, Mike Jewell, John Gill, and Brad Neat. Complete results from Florence can be accessed online at www.florencespeedway.com.

"Wow, what a race," simply stated James this week via telephone. "Me and (Darrell) Lanigan raced real hard for the win and I had a blast out there. I have to thank my crew - Shane, Jeremy, and Mike - for all of their hard work in the heat. Our car was really good and I am really looking forward to the upcoming North/South 100. I think we have a shot at that $50,000 and we are going to make every effort to bring our best piece to Florence in a couple of weeks. I have to dedicate the win on Saturday night to my good friend Tommy, who lost his wife Anita Collini to cancer a few weeks back."

Following the big win, Scott will return to the Florence Speedway in Union, Kentucky this Saturday night, July 30. Scott plans to run his back-up car at the King family complex this weekend after making some changes to it following the completion of the UMP Summer Nationals. A $1,500 winner's check will be on the line for the #81 team on Saturday. Additional information can be viewed by clicking on www.florencespeedway.com.

(PINCONNING, MICHIGAN) The Iron Motorsports team and driver Jeep Van Wormer celebrated in victory lane on Friday night, July 22 at the Hartford Motor Speedway in Hartford, Michigan, as they captured an impressive win in the annual 'Lane Automotive 47.' The American Late Model Series (ALMS) sanctioned the show at Hartford, which paid $4,700 to the winner and $47 for each lap led. The night didn't start out as planned for Jeep and the #55 team, as the Pinconning, Michigan ace hit the wall hard in his heat race.

With only nineteen cars on hand for the event, Jeep was able to make repairs to his Rocket Chassis and later rolled off from the inside of the ninth row in the 47-lap feature. He then proceeded to thrill his home-state fans, as he blasted to the front of the field and eventually took the top spot away from Brian Ruhlman on lap 29. Jeep went on to win a hefty $5,600 for beating Ruhlman, Phil Ausra, Jon Henry, and J.R. Hotovy to the checkers. Full results can be viewed online at www.hartfordmotorspeedway.net.

"We have been knocking on the door to several wins over the past couple of weeks, so it feels good to finally get one," commented Van Wormer following the Hartford victory. "I definitely didn't make it easy on us by hitting the wall in the heat race. The team worked real hard though and we basically had to replace the whole front suspension. There were still some things we needed to replace, but ran out of time before the start of the feature. It all worked out and we will get busy refreshing all of our stuff before Florence!"

Jeep and the #55 team plan to take the next two weekends off from racing action following their big win at Hartford. The team will spend that time refreshing their equipment prior to the $50,000 to win 'North/South 100' at the venerable Florence Speedway in Union, Kentucky on August 12-13.

We do a couple of different things setup-wise to the car at Clarksville and it seems to work pretty well there. I could race down low or through the middle, pretty much anywhere I needed to go, the car was up to the challenge. Hopefully, we can get on a little roll here and start running better in some of these bigger shows coming up!"

(MENOMONIE, WISCONSIN) Jimmy Mars became the first repeat winner of the 'Firecracker 100' at the Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania on Saturday night, June 25 by dominating the second half of the crown jewel event! After finishing second in his heat race, Jimmy rolled off from the inside of the fourth row in the 100-lap main event. In front of a massive crowd and the SPEED television cameras, Jimmy overtook Scott Bloomquist for the point on lap 45 and drove to a convincing 4.5 second win over Bloomquist, Rick Eckert, Josh Richards, and Steve Shaver. The Menomonie, Wisconsin native lapped up to the ninth position en route to claiming the hefty $30,000 payday!

Earlier in the weekend at Lernerville, Jimmy entered a pair of $6,000 to win preliminary events, which were also sanctioned by the World of Outlaws Late Model Series. On Thursday night, Jimmy won his heat race and finished fifth in the 30-lapper behind only winner Josh Richards, Rick Eckert, Steve Shaver, and Scott Bloomquist. The driver known as the "Iceman" was forced to scratch from Friday's program after experiencing valve train problems on his #28 MB Customs machine during hot laps.

"We opted to go harder on tires than most of the field and it really paid off those last fifty laps. The car was fast all weekend, we were good on Thursday night and finished in the top five, but then had the mechanical problem that took us out of action on Friday. I have to thank my brother Chris, all of the guys at the shop, and everybody that supports Mars Racing!"

The #28 team will not rest on their success from Lernerville last weekend, as they plan to jump right back into racing action with four events over the extended Independence Day holiday weekend.

In other action last week, Scott finished seventh in the $5,000 to win programs on Thursday at the Fayette County Speedway in Brownstown, Illinois and on Sunday at the I-96 Speedway in Lake Odessa, Michigan.

"Then we missed it (the setup) at Granite City on Friday and had a rough night on Sunday at I-96. The encouraging part about Sunday was that we battled back to salvage a seventh place finish and that was huge for the points deal. We were then able to come back home for a day and regroup here at the shop and we will be ready for Putnamville on Tuesday night!"

After a day off yesterday, Scott and the rest of the Summer Nationals regulars will return to competition tonight, June 28 at the Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville, Indiana.

Ross Camponovo Registers Fifth Place Run in MSCCS Action

Clarksdale, Mississippi (06/21/11) – An extremely busy work schedule as well as wet weather has kept Ross Camponovo sidelined for much of the 2011 season, but he was able to return to action on Saturday night as he drove his #18 Camponovo Farms/Rocket/RPM Racing Engine Super Late Model to a fifth place finish in MSCCS action.

It was back to action for Ross on Saturday night as he entered a $2,500 to win, Mississippi State Championship Challenge Series (MSCCS) event at his home track, Greenville Speedway (Greenville, Mississippi). Nineteen Super Late Models entered the event, and after setting second fast time in his group, he would race from the fourth starting spot to claim the dash win.

Via the dash win, he started on the pole for the feature, and would battle at the front of the pack for much of the event. However, the team would slightly miss the setup on the car, and he would ultimately slip to a fifth place finish behind race winner, Chad Thrash, Klint Byars, Dane Dacus, and Scott Creel. Despite not getting the win that he wanted, it was still a solid outing for the team and something to build on for sure. Full results are available at www.StateSeries.com.

Scott James Nabs First UMP Summer Nationals Win at Cedar Lake; Takes Point Lead into Spoon River Tonight!

(BRIGHT, INDIANA) Despite a trio of rain-outs in the first five nights of the UMP Summer Nationals tour, Scott James and the Riggs Motorsports team have started off the month-long journey on a strong note. Scott picked up his first series victory and his first win with the Riggs Motorsports team on Friday, June 17 at the renowned Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wisconsin. The Bright, Indiana native ran second in his heat race to earn the fifth starting spot for the 30-lap main event. Scott then took advantage of a late race restart to blast by leader Dan Schlieper on the high side and beat Schlieper, Shannon Babb, Brian Birkhofer, and Jimmy Mars to the checkers to score the $5,000 triumph!

Earlier last week, Scott was in action in the series opener on Thursday night at the Kankakee County Speedway in Kankakee, Illinois. After running third in his loaded heat race, the driver known as the "Silver Shark" rolled off from the outside of the fifth row in the $5,000 to win main event. Scott was able to maneuver past four competitors en route to a sixth place performance behind only winner Mike Spatola, Chad Simpson, Brian Shirley, Ryan Unzicker, and Matt Miller. Mother Nature picked up two wins last week, as the shows at the Brownstown (IN) Speedway on June 15 and the Cedar Lake (WI) Speedway on June 18 were rained-out. A race-by-race recap is available online at www.ScottJamesMotorsports.com.

"That win at Cedar Lake was huge for us," exclaimed James following the 'Masters' victory. "We have been so close all year to getting into victory lane and I can't thank Scott Riggs for all of his help and support. He has provided me with top notch equipment and hopefully we can keep running up front with it. To have the point lead after two races is great, but honestly, there is so much racing left in the next month that it really doesn't matter right now. We just have to stay focused, keep working hard, and take it one race at a time."

By virtue of his win and sixth place finish so far on the tour, Scott finds himself leading the current UMP Summer Nationals point standings after only two races. Following last night's rain-out at the LaSalle Speedway in LaSalle, Illinois, Scott and his #81 team hope to beat both the competition and Mother Nature when action resumes tonight, June 21 at the Spoon River Speedway in Banner, Illinois. You can watch Scott sling dirt at the following venues this week:

June 25 | Fairbury American Legion Speedway (Fairbury, Illinois) | $10,000 to win

(BATESVILLE, ARKANSAS) Batesville, Arkansas native Wendell Wallace recorded his first victory of the 2011 racing season on Friday night, June 10 at the Malden Speedway in Malden, Missouri! The Comp Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) rolled into Malden on Friday to sanction a $2,000 to win event. Wendell was strong from the outset in the 35-lap feature, as he blasted to the lead on lap five and never looked back. The driver known as the "Batesville Bullet" claimed the $2,000 victory over Dane Dacus, Johnny Virden, Jeff Floyd, and Austin Rettig.

On Saturday evening, the Wendell Wallace Autosports team was scheduled to compete in the second round of the Comp Cams Super Dirt Series doubleheader weekend at the Northeast Arkansas Speedway in Harrisburg, Arkansas. However, rain showers shortly before hot laps on Saturday forced the cancellation of the $2,000 to win showdown. Full results from Malden can be accessed online at www.compdirt.com.

"We are getting this car a little better and it sure feels good to get that monkey off of our back by winning at Malden," exclaimed Wallace earlier this week. "I have to thank everyone associated with my program for all of their support and hopefully there are some more wins down the road for us this year. We had plans of maybe starting off on the UMP Summer Nationals, but we couldn't get everything together to do that full deal. It looks like we might head up to Illinois on Tuesday or Wednesday next week and race with those guys a few nights."

Following the win at Malden, the #88 team has decided to take the upcoming June 17-18 weekend off from racing action. Instead, Wendell will prep his equipment for several upcoming UMP Summer Nationals programs. He is unsure of when he will jump on the grueling tour, but tentative plans call for him to invade the Land of Lincoln sometime next week.

June 4th, 2011 - The team opened the 2011 Appalachian Mountain Speedweek on Saturday night at Hagerstown Speedway (Hagerstown, Maryland) with a $5,000 to win event that drew a field of 48 Super Late Models. After qualifying fourth fastest in time trials, Hubbard raced to a third place finish in his heat race, which left him starting ninth in the main event. As the feature went green, Austin would quickly begin working his way toward the front of the pack as he advanced to the third spot in the first seven laps. Lap 23 would see him move into the second spot behind race leader, Steve Shaver, as Hubbard followed him for the next several laps with Jimmy Mars in tow. As the white flag was displayed on the 40 lap feature, chaos ensued at the front of the pack as Hubbard went to the low side of Shaver, while Mars went to the high side. The end result would be Mars racing his way to the win as Hubbard crossed the line in second and Mars in third. Overall, it was a great start to the Speedweek for Austin and Beitler Motorsports.

June 5th, 2011 - Round #2 of the Appalachian Mountain Speedweek was held on Sunday night at Winchester Speedway (Winchester, Virginia) as another talented field of 50 Super Late Models entered the $5,000 to win race.

In the feature he would run in the top five for the duration of the race getting as high as the second position before slipping to a third place finish at the checkered flag behind race winner, Josh Richards, and Jeremy Miller.

June 6th, 2011 - The third night of the Appalachian Mountain Speedweek came to life on Monday night at Roaring Knob Motorplex (Markleysburg, Pennsylvania) for a $5,000 to win event as 46 cars entered the event.

In heat race action, Hubbard would advance to a second place finish, which put him in the redraw for the main event, where he pulled the sixth starting position.

In the main event he would quickly race his way up to the third position as he pressured Jason Covert and Josh Richards at the front of the pack. The trio would battle for the lead until a lap 21 caution when Austin was forced to duck into the pits to have a flat right rear tire replaced. He would be able to rejoin the tail of the field before green flag action resumed and over the remainder of the event he would drive back to a tenth place finish. Through three events Austin leads the series point's by over 60 markers.

In the heat he would bolt to the front to claim the win, and in the redraw he pulled the pole-starting spot for the feature after finishing second in the dash.

In the feature he would bolt to the lead at the drop of the green flag and even a late race caution, which erased his advantage couldn't stop him as he went to pick up the big win over Dan Stone, Jimmy Mars, Devin Friese, and Jeremy Miller.

With just two events remaining the Speedweek, Hubbard's lead continues to build.

June 9th, 2011 - Thursday saw the team at Port Royal Speedway (Port Royal, Pennsylvania) for the next to last round of the Appalachian Mountain Speedweek, which posted a $5,000 to win feature. After running his second in his heat, Hubbard would receive the fifth starting spot for the main event via the redraw.

(GRAYSON, KENTUCKY) The Josh McGuire Racing (JMR) team scored their first triumph of the 2011 racing season on Saturday night, June 11 at the Portsmouth Raceway Park in Portsmouth, Ohio.

Josh McGuire laid down the second quickest lap during the qualifying session and later finished fourth in the dash.

After rolling off from the outside of the second row in the A-Main, Josh worked his way past leader R.J. Conley on lap sixteen to grab the point.

Complete results from PRP can be viewed by clicking on www.portsraceway.com.

"It feels good to get back into victory lane again, especially at Portsmouth," commented McGuire after his win in the seventh race of his season. "We have had a pretty fast racecar this year, but just don't have the results to show for it. The track was a little rough in turns one and two, but for all of the flooding that the track endured this spring, I thought it held up rather well. I have to thank my family, my sponsors, and everyone associated with our program for all of their support. Hopefully, the win at Portsmouth was the first of many for us this year!"

(BRASSTOWN, NORTH CAROLINA) Ray Cook recorded his second victory of the 2011 racing season on Saturday night, June 11 at the Richmond Raceway in Richmond, Kentucky! After a sub par qualifying session at the Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio on Friday night, the D&R Motorsports team chose to forego the rest of the 'Dream' program and instead headed south to Richmond on Saturday. The decision proved to be a smart one for the #53 team, as they picked up the $3,000 top prize in the inaugural event for the United Super Dirt Car Series (USDCS).

The driver known as the "Tarheel Tiger" laid down the quickest lap during the qualifying session at Richmond to earn Fast Time honors. Ray later ran second in his heat race, which locked him into the fifth starting spot for the 'Rain Dodger 40.' The Brasstown, North Carolina ace methodically worked his way to the front of the field and grabbed the top spot on lap thirty-two. Ray went on to claim the $3,000 win over Victor Lee, Aaron Hatton, Mike Jewell, and Tyrel Todd. Following the triumph at Richmond, Ray dedicated the victory to Jamie Brown, son of former car owners Brownie and Cheryl Brown, who tragically lost his life in a house fire last Wednesday. Complete results from Richmond can be accessed by clicking on www.usdcs.com.

"We were all disappointed by qualifying fifty-fourth fastest for the Dream at Eldora, but we salvaged the weekend with the win at Richmond," quoted Cook earlier today. "The car was great all night at Richmond and I can't thank my crew enough for all of the hard work they put into it this week. We tore up two cars last weekend and had to have a car ready for Bill Elliott to run in the Prelude to the Dream at Eldora on Wednesday. They worked countless hours and the victory definitely gives us a boost of morale after a long week. Also, our thoughts and prayers are with the Brown family at this time, as they deal with the loss of Jamie last week."

(MARTINSVILLE, INDIANA) Martinsville, Indiana native Don O'Neal captured his first crown jewel victory of his career and the largest payday in Dirt Late Model racing this year over the June 10-11 weekend by winning the 17th Annual 'Dream' at the famed Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio! Don started his magical weekend on Friday night by laying down the twelfth quickest lap of the ninety-one entrants during the two-round qualifying session. When Saturday rolled around, Don started fifth in his stacked heat race, but was able to maneuver past three competitors to finish a solid second behind only winner Darrell Lanigan.

The strong prelim run allowed the driver known as "The Real Deal" to roll off from the outside of the sixth row in the 100-lap 'Dream XVII.' Don was patient throughout the early portion of the race, but turned up the heat on the competition in the middle stages. The pilot of the Magnaflow Exhaust Products #71 MasterSbilt / Jay Dickens Camaro moved up into the top five by lap 31, passed Will Vaught for third on lap 64, and then picked off Darrell Lanigan for the second position on lap 79. Finally, Don overtook race-long leader Billy Moyer going into turn one of the 87th circuit and held off Moyer, Lanigan, Vaught, and Eddie Carrier, Jr. to score the hefty $100,000 triumph! Complete results from the 17th Annual 'Dream' can be viewed online by visiting www.eldoraspeedway.com.

"It has been a long time coming to win one of these crown jewel events and we finally got the job done," exclaimed O'Neal, who became the second Hoosier State driver to claim a 'Dream' victory. "We had a fast racecar all weekend long and I can't think my crew enough for all of their help. I found a little different line on the racetrack around the halfway point in the race and from there, I thought I had a shot to win the thing. It just feels so good to finally break through in one of these big races at Eldora. I have to thank my crew again, Magnaflow Exhaust Products, MasterSbilt Race Cars, Jay Dickens Racing Engines, Superior Cleaning Services, and everyone that is a part of this race team!"

Following the popular win at the "Big E" over the weekend, Don has now reached victory lane on five different occasions in 2011 at five different venues: Ocala (FL) Speedway, Volusia (FL) Speedway Park, Brownstown (IN) Speedway, Florence (KY) Speedway, and Eldora (OH) Speedway. In addition to those five wins, Don has racked up sixteen Top Five finishes and twenty-two Top Ten efforts in the twenty-five races that he has entered this year.

In only his first season as a Late Model driver, Mike Spatola has put his talents on a national showcase. Still early in the 2011 campaign, the wins and top 5s are already starting to stack up for this 20-year-old driver from Manhattan Illinois. Spatola is not only piloting a Bob Pierce late model but also on occasion still in his number 89 modified.

Spatola’s racing history includes over 200 wins in go karts combined with a track and series championship. This season has already added the Player Hater 50 trophy, for his first late model win at Winston Speedway in Michigan. He has also won a couple at Kankakee Motor Speedway including the $2000 to win ALMS race. One of his biggest heat wins took place just last night, June 2^nd at Highland Speedway. Then had a strong fourth place finish against Billy Moyer, Jason Feger, and Shannon Babb for the $5000 to win Northern All Star race.

Spatola is not only successful so far in 2011 but having a lot of fun doing it, a dangerous combination for his competitors. Going from modifieds into the late model class is sometimes tricky. “The driving aspect feels like the easiest part of the transition so far”, says Spatola. The team is using this season to learn tires and set ups, when you look at stats, looks like the team is learning pretty quickly. The 89 team includes; Mike Jr. (Pops), Bill Amsler, Jamey Mitchell, Danny Beallis, and Ken Kasper.

You can expect to see Spatola and crew following the Northern All Star series. They also plan on running some of the Summer National tour, The Dream, and maybe The World at Eldora Speedway. You can follow his schedule via his website, www.mikespatola.com for up to date information.

The future looks bright for Spatola, who runs a reversed number from his father; Pops ran the 98 car in spectator races. The younger Spatola got involved in racing when his father would crew chief for Uncle Frank Heckenast Sr. Then Spatola’s cousins starting racing, better known as Sherri Heckenast (McMartin) and Frankie Heckenast where Mike started working on cars. One day, Kenny Kasper dug out an old go-kart for Spatola to drive and the rest is history. Spatola would like in the next five years to be running in one of the top three NASCAR series while still being able to compete on dirt with the best drivers on the WOO/Lucas Series.

This red headed kid called by Opie, a nickname given to him by his Uncle because Spatola looked so much like Opie from the Andy Griffith Show. A nickname that has stuck thru his racing career, a name like Cher, you just know when someone says Opie they mean Mike Spatola.

Watch for Mike Spatola’s name thru out the 2011 season, you will be seeing it as the winner of a lot more races. He would like to thank his crew for all their hard work and dedication, week in and week out, his family, and all his fans.

Watertown, South Dakota (06/02/11) – Jon Tesch from Watertown, South Dakota is the latest addition to the MSRMafia.com team and has launched a brand new website at www.JonTesch.com .

Jon pilots his #14 Tesch Motorsports/B&E Concrete/GRT/Sput's Racing Engine Open Wheel Modified on the Casey's General United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) tour and also in various high-profile events across the nation. He is also one of the feature drivers on the hit television program, Dirt Knights.

Tesch was last in action over the Memorial Day weekend as he set out to enter four events in four days with the Casey's General USMTS tour. Although Mother Nature would alter the schedule, all four events would be held. The weekend began on Thursday night at Highway 3 Raceway (Allison, Iowa). It would be a rough night for Jon as he would heavily damage a car in heat race action, forcing him to a backup car for b-main action. He would manage to race his way into the main event via the b-main. After starting 22nd on the grid he would battle his way through the pack to finish in the sixth position in the final rundown. Along the way he earned the Mesilla Valley Transportation Hard Charger Award for his efforts.

Friday's event, which was scheduled for Chateau Raceway (Lansing, MN) fell victim to rain and was postponed until Monday evening. As a result the team was next in action on Saturday evening at Deer Creek Speedway (Spring Valley, MN) as a stellar field of 62 Open Wheel Modifieds signed in to battle in the $2,000 to win event. The night would start well for Tesch as he won his heat race to lock into the redraw, where he received the fourth starting spot for the 40 lap feature. In the main event, Tesch would find himself at the front of the pack for the duration of the event before registering a third place finish behind race winner, Ryan Gustin, and Jason Hughes.

Sunday's event at Dodge County Speedway (Kasson, MN) would see Mother Nature interfere once again as rains set in before the feature forcing it to be rescheduled to Monday afternoon. Prior to the rain arriving Jon raced from his fourth starting spot to win his heat race, which once again locked him into Monday's afternoon's redraw. In the redraw, Tesch would receive the 4th starting spot. He would quickly work his way forward at the drop of the green flag, and on lap 17 of the 40 lap affair he would race past leader, Tim Donlinger to claim the lead. Over the next several laps Jon would build a sizeable lead and looked to be on his way to a comfortable win before disaster struck with just eleven laps remaining when he received contact from a lap car resulting in a flat tire. He would be forced pitside for fresh rubber and would rejoin the tail of the field to salvage a disappointing 13th place finish.

The team would conclude their busy weekend on Monday night with the rescheduled Chateau Raceway (Lansing, MN) event. Via preliminary action, Jon would earn the 22nd starting position for the 40 lap, $2,000 to win feature. Tesch would drive through the field once again to finish in the eighth spot in the final rundown.

With his weekend performances, Jon is currently second in the Yeager Machine Upper Midwest Region standings behind Ryan Gustin. For full weekend results, please visit www.USMTS.com.

This weekend, June 3rd-4th, Tesch will be back out on the Casey's General USMTS trail as he enters the 8th Annual Spring Thaw at Junction Motor Speedway (McCool Junction, NE). The event, which was postponed by weather back in March will consist of a $2,000 to win program on Friday and a $3,000 to win event on Saturday.

Northport, Alabama (05/17/11) – Ronny Lee Hollingsworth will begin a new era of his career in this weekend's Bad Boy 98 at Batesville Motor Speedway (Locust Grove, Arkansas) as he pilots the #1 Warrior House Car Super Late Model in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) sanctioned event.

With Flynn Motorsports currently switching all of their entries to Warrior Chassis the new cars aren't quite ready for action so Ronny Lee will pilot the #1 Goddard Performance/Warrior/Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model in this weekend's event.

Hollingsworth commented, "Tony (Flynn) and myself are really excited about making the move to Warrior Race Cars, and we are looking forward to piloting the Warrior House Car at Batesville this weekend."

This weekend's 1st Annual Bad Boy 98 is a unique event to say the least as the winner will get $10,000, which is half of what the second place car will receive ($20,000). However, the winner will also receive a brand new, 2011 Chevrolet Camaro, while a lucky fan will receive a 2011 Ford Mustang. The event pays $1,200 just to start and gets underway on Thursday night with an Open Practice Session. Friday night will be headlined by time trials and heat race action, while Saturday's program will include b-mains and the 98 lap finale.

Twenty-six participants entered the event, and after qualifying second fastest in his group, Hollingsworth locked into the pole-sitter's dash, where he registered a fourth place finish. Via his dash performance, he started fourth in the main event, and looked to have a car that could contend to the win before contact from a lap car near the race's midway point caused him to spin, bringing his night to a disappointing early end.

Three generations have seen a Dehm in victory lane. The youngest Dehm, Jimmy is carrying on this family tradition. Four men in the family have all raced in many classes over the years. Jimmy may be the youngest of the group but his experience is beyond his years.

Larry Kaufman the eldest of the group raced in the six-cylinder class back when they had a special class starting in 1972. Then Uncle Snooky Dehm, the very first winner of Fairbury American Legion Speedway’s prized race the 1990 Prairie Dirt Classic. He can still be found on occasion racing his late model. Scott Dehm, Jimmy’s father has wheeled a modified over the years. Then you have cousin Lance, the pilot of the D1 modified, most recently the 2010 Fairbury Track Champion. Jimmy definitely has a strong stable to learn from.

Jimmy Dehm has been racing since age seven. Running in a quarter midget until age twelve, he was picking up wins across the country. Next he ran in a mini sprint, not liking the open wheels, he left that class after a year. Being too young he sat out the following season before getting into a sportsmen car at age fourteen. In a year and a half he racked up four feature wins over drivers twice his age.

At age fifteen when most kids were looking for their first car, Dehm was looking at his ‘Budda’ owned late model. He drove for ‘Budda’ then for his family team, and now driving for Southtown Motorsports. At the end of 2010 Dehm’s racing future was unclear, until the opportunity came to join up with veteran driver Eric Smith. The transition in to a team player has gone smoother then Dehm first expected. Having one hauler and someone to bounce racing information off has already benefited both Dehm and Smith. Early in to the 2011 season, both cars have feature victories. When either the 9 or 99J runs well it’s like a victory to everyone at Southtown Motorsports.

Dehm has two career feature wins in a late model. His first win was at Kankakee County Speedway in a somewhat controversial race, cut short due to time constraints in 2010. His second win at Fairbury on May 7^th was “much sweeter over good cars”. Dehm beat drivers like Jason Feger and Brandon Sheppard. His teammate Smith finished a strong fourth. You can find both cars running regularly at Farmer City Raceway and Fairbury. They will also try to run the local Summer National races.

Young Jimmy Dehm looks up to his team mate Eric Smith, a driver who has been winning races longer then Dehm has been alive. Smith has given Dehm a lot of advice. Dehm also admires driver Billy Moyer who he says is a “class talent, one of the best”.

With again an uncertain racing future, Dehm is focused on the 2011 campaign. He would like to see more feature wins with solid finishes at the bigger shows, including the Summer Nationals and Prairie Dirt Classic. Also he would like to see many 1- 2 finishes with Smith, it does not matter who wins or who gets second. Dehm also has already raced at the famed Eldora Speedway back in 2008.

One thing cannot be over looked for Dehm. He is not only racing but is studying at Illinois State University. He does enjoy more time to work on the car compared to what he had while in High School and for him even Elementary and Junior High School. Plus he can control when he has classes, so if he wants Fridays off, well he can have it. When he has free time he is a huge sports fan, with his favorite sport being basketball.

Jimmy Dehm has accomplished a lot in his thirteen years of racing. Importantly he has raced hard with other competitors thru the ranks, gaining respect as he goes. A driver from a respected family he has continued their traditions. This is one driver we may be seeing race on Speed TV soon.

Jimmy wants to Thank: Eric Smith, Cleve Smith, Ryan Courtney, Darrell Mangan, Tim Kaufman, Mike Stalter, John Vincent, and most importantly Tammy and Scott Dehm (Mom & Dad)

Thanks to the Sponsors: Southtown Wrecker, Formula 500 Venom Synthetic Lubricants, Stephens Auto Glass, Devore Landscaping, Carrie Scharf Trucking, Diamond Vogel, M & M Pumps, Parkway Auto Laundry, Geiger Truck Parts, and O & G Financial.

Crofton, Kentucky (05/12/11) - Dillan White was able to get his season pointed in the right direction last weekend by piloting his #54 DW Motorsports/Mastersbilt/Jay Dickens Racing Engine Super Late Model by scoring back-to-back third place finishes against a stout field of competitors.

With over 30 Super Late Models on hand, Dillan entered a Weekly Racing Series Event on Friday night, May 6th at Farmer City Raceway (Farmer City, Illinois). He would start the night by qualifying eighth fastest, and then would go on to win his heat race to start fourth in the main event.

Dillan traveled to Brownstown Speedway (Brownstown, Indiana) on Saturday night, May 7th for the Lee Fleetwood Memorial, which posted a $2,500 to win purse for the event, which drew 33 Super Late Models.

White would lead the feature for the first 18 laps before Don O'Neal slipped by in lapped traffic. White would run second from the remainder of the event until the white flag lap when Kent Robinson moved in to challenge him for the position. The pair crossed the finish line side-by-side and scorers gave the position to Robinson, so White was credited with a third place finish.

Collierville, TN (05/11/11) – Steve entered his second career event on Saturday night at Riverside International Speedway (West Memphis, Arkansas) in the #13 Parts Plus entry, and it would prove to be a great night for the rookie driver.

Kyle was in action on Thursday night, May 5th at the 1/2 mile at Tri State Speedway (Pocola, Oklahoma) with the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series as he opened a three race weekend. Thirty-eight Super Late Models entered the event, and after winning the fifth heat race Kyle started outside front row for the main event alongside Kelly Boen. Beard would battle in the top three early in the event before ultimately settling into a fifth place finish behind race winner, Boen, RC Whitwell, Billy Moyer Jr., and Wendell Wallace.

Night #2 of the weekend's triple header was held on Friday night, May 6th at Thunderbird Speedway (Muskogee, Oklahoma). The $2,000 to win, COMP Cams Super Dirt Series event saw 27 cars sign in for action, and via heat race action Kyle earned the sixth starting spot for the 25 lap feature on the 1/2 mile oval. Kyle would run in the top five for the majority of the event, but would see the running order shuffled with five laps to go when leaders, Kelly Boen and Dane Dacus, made hard contact with five laps to go, which resulted in a red flag. On the restart, Beard lined up behind leader, Bill Frye. As the race went back green Moyer Jr. would pass Beard for second before passing Frye to claim the win. Kyle would finish a strong third at the checkered flag for his fourth top five finish in a row.

The final leg of CCSDS triple header was held on Saturday night, May 7th at Crawford County Speedway (Van Buren, Arkansas) as twenty-eight Super Late Models entered the event. Twenty-eight Super Late Models entered the event, and it was Dane Dacus, who locked into the JFR Graphics Pole Position for the 35 lap feature after earning the most points in heat race action. Kyle Beard flanked him to the outside on the starting grid, and it was Beard, who shot to the lead at the drop of the green flag with Dacus and Moyer Jr. in tow.

Beard would maintain the lead over Moyer Jr. until lap 33, when the leader caught lapped traffic and Moyer Jr. took advantage of the situation to make it three wide with Beard and the lapped car of Keith Lawson at the white flag. The leaders would battle side by side into turns one and two and down the backstretch, and entering turn three Beard would go high to navigate lapped traffic as Moyer Jr. shot to the bottom. Exiting turn four Moyer Jr. would inch ahead by a matter of feet to claim the win in the near photo finish over Beard. Kyle is currently second in the CCSDS standings just four points behind leader, Billy Moyer Jr. Full weekend results are available at www.COMPDirt.com.

Batesville, Arkansas (05/09/11) – After almost not even racing this past weekend, Billy Moyer Jr. made the last minute decision to enter a triple header with the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) in his #21jr Henderson Motorsports/Car City/Imperial Motors/Victory Circle M1 Chassis By Moyer/Bullock Racing Engine Super Late Model, and it would prove to be a wise decision as he claimed two feature triumphs.

Billy took to the big 1/2 mile at Tri City Speedway (Pocola, Oklahoma) on Thursday night, May 5th for a $2,000 to win, 35 lap event. A large field of 38 Super Late Models signed in for action, and after winning the second heat race, Billy locked into the main event. In the feature he would race in the top five for the duration of the event before crossing the finish line in third behind race winner, Kelly Boen, and RC Whitwell.

Sometimes you just need a little luck to get you where you want to be, and for Billy Moyer Jr. on Friday night that luck came in the form of a late race caution as the top two cars tangled. Billy made the trip to Thunderbird Speedway (Muskogee, Oklahoma) for a $2,000 to win, 25 lap COMP Cams Super Dirt Series event as 27 cars entered the program. Billy won his heat race to earn the third starting spot for the main event on the big, 1/2 mile oval. Billy would run around the fifth position for much of the event and looked to be on his way to a fifth place finish before leaders Kelly Boen and Dane Dacus tangled on lap 20. The pair would be done for the night, and would leave Moyer Jr. starting third on the restart behind Bill Frye and Kyle Beard. As the race went back green Moyer Jr. slipped past Beard and two laps later would use the low groove to pass Bill Frye for the lead. Billy would lead the last two laps to claim the win, which was his third of the year.

Another night and another feature win for Billy Moyer Jr. on Saturday night, May 6th but it would prove to be a win that was far from easy as he would have to wait until the final corner of the final lap to take the lead. The team was in action at Crawford County Speedway (Van Buren, Arkansas) in the final night of the weekend's COMP Cams Super Dirt Series triple header as twenty-cars signed in for battle. Billy started the night by winning his heat race to earn the third starting spot for the 35 lap, $2,000 to win feature. Early in the event, he would pursue Kyle Beard and Dane Dacus before moving into the second spot by the race's midway point. He would stalk Beard for the next several laps before using lapped traffic to his advantage late in the race to pull even with Beard as the leaders took the white flag. The pair would battle side-by-side for the final lap before Moyer Jr. used a strong run on the bottom exiting turn four to take the lead and the win! Full results from the weekend are available at www.COMPDirt.com .

The team's plans for the upcoming weekend are currently uncertain, so stay tuned to www.BillyMoyerJr.com for the latest schedule information.

In an effort to help some of the victim's from last Wednesday's tornadoes in Alabama, Jeremy has had a special decal made to raise money for the storm victims.

Trumann, AR (05/05/11) – After a rough start to the 2011 season, Kyle Beard and Beard Motorsports finally got things pointed in the right direction last weekend as Kyle piloted the team's #86 Victory Circle M1 Chassis By Moyer/Samuels Performance Racing Engine Super Late Model to a pair of top five finishes in PRO Dirt Car Series Action.

After seeing last Friday's scheduled, CCSDS event at Batesville Motor Speedway (Locust Grove, Arkansas) nixed by rain, Beard Motorsports made the decision to head to North Alabama Speedway (Tuscumbia, Alabama) for a PRO Dirt Car Series, double header. On Friday night the first leg was held, and it was a $2,000 to win event. After setting second quick time in his group, Kyle locked into the fourth starting spot for the main event, and as the feature event went green he would initially race his way up to the third position. Over the next several laps he would battle throughout the top five before ultimately settling into the fourth position, and when the checkered flag dropped, he would cross the finish fourth behind race winner, Anthony Burroughs, Rick Rickman, and Brian Rickman. The finish was his first top five of the 2011 season.

Fresh off his best run of the 2011 season on Friday night, Kyle returned to action with the PRO Dirt Car Series on Saturday night at North Alabama Speedway (Tuscumbia, Alabama). After qualifying fourth fastest, he locked into the fourth starting spot for the 40 lap, $2,000 to win feature. However, after third place starter, Brian Rickman, scratched from the event, Kyle moved up to the third starting spot, and at the drop of the green flag in the feature, he would jump to the second spot in pursuit of race leader, Josh Putnam. Kyle would run second for the first eight laps before the caution flag flew, and on the ensuing restart he would Ronny Lee Hollingsworth for second before slipping to third. Over the remainder of the event, Kyle would hold down the third spot, and that's where he would be scored at the checkered flag behind race winner, Josh Putnam, and Ronny Lee Hollingsworth. Full weekend results are available at www.PRODirtCarSeries.com.

This weekend, May 5th-7th, Kyle will return to the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series tour for a trio of $2,000 to win/$400 to start events in Oklahoma and Arkansas. The first race is slated for Thursday night at Tri State Speedway (Pocola, OK) before moving on to Thunderbird Speedway (Muskogee, OK) on Friday night and Crawford County Speedway (Van Buren, AR) on Saturday night.

No need for wishing on a shooting star for Jim Moon and MoonMan Racing this weekend. The stars lined up for back to back top ten finishes. Moon is feeling extremely comfortable in the car and sees a return to victory lane very soon.

Friday night was originally scheduled for Farmer City but due to possible rain Moon decided to race at Belle Clair Speedway. In heat number two the 1 car finished a strong fifth. After starting near the rear of the field a hard charging Moon ended the feature with a solid seventh place finish.

The 1 team raced Macon Speedway on Saturday night. After qualifying seventh overall Moon ended up in the fast heat. He finished fourth in that heat to gain a seventh place start in the feature. When the dust settled MoonMan had a strong fourth place finish. Current standings have Jim Moon tied for fifth in points only twenty back.

This coming weekend schedule is up in the air because of the chance of rain. Friday night could be Granite City or Farmer City. Saturday night will most likely be Macon. Check back to the Ask the MoonMan facebook page for updates. In addition, Moon Vision video will be up on www.allamericanracetalk.com, your one stop shop for all race talk.

Quincy, Illinois (05/03/11) – Despite being hampered by Mother Nature thus far into the 2011 season Jake Griffin was finally able to get two nights of racing in the books last week and came away with a pair of runner-up finishes in the ULMA division as well as a top ten, UMP Open Wheel Modified finish..

On Friday night at Callaway Raceways (Fulton, Missouri) Jake pulled double duty between the ULMA Late Model division and the Open Wheel Modified division. In the ULMA Late Model class it would be a great night for Jake as he motored his way to a second place finish. The Open Wheel Modified division would not be as kind though as he drew a large number at the pill draw, and as a result he started at the back of a heat race. He advanced to a sixth place finish, which left him starting 12th in a b-main. In the b-main, Griffin advanced to a sixth place finish, but with only the top two cars advancing to the feature his night ended early.

Saturday evening found the team pitted in Memphis, Missouri at Scotland County Raceway for another night of double action. For the second straight night, he would power his ULMA Late Model to a second place finish in the feature event. In the Open Wheel Modified division he would bounce back from Friday night's bad luck to score a 10th place finish.

The ULMA Late Model Series points were released on Tuesday, and Jake is leading the Rookie standings, and is currently fifth in the overall standings. It's worth noting that while Jake has only competed in three events so far that the four drivers in front of him have competed in four events, so he stands to move up as he competes in the upcoming weekend's events.

Jake is also currently third in the latest addition of the UMP Missouri Region Modified standings.

The upcoming weekend, May 6th-8th, will see 12 year-old, Jake set out to enter three events in three nights, and will get underway with ULMA Late Model and UMP Modified action at Callaway Raceway (Fulton, Missouri) Scotland County Speedway (Memphis Missouri) on Friday and Saturday night respectively before wrapping up the weekend on Sunday night with a UMP Modified event at Quincy Raceway (Quincy, Illinois).

Rogersville, Alabama (05/03/11) – After a nightmare start to the season Anthony Burroughs claimed his first win of 2011 on Friday night in his #121 PMC Enterprises/Barry Wright Super Late Model at North Alabama Speedway.

Friday night was a big night for Anthony and the team as they finally overcame more than their fair share of bad luck in 2011 to claim the $2,000 win feature at North Alabama Speedway (Tuscumbia, Alabama) in PRO Dirt Car Series action. After qualifying second fastest in his group, Burroughs started 3rd on the grid for the 40 lap feature, and early in the race he would slip back as far as the fifth position before slowly mounting a charge to the front of the pack. By lap 25 he was up to the second position as he set his sights on the leader, Rick Rickman. As Rickman worked the cushion, Burroughs worked the lowside, and exiting turn four on the 34th circuit Anthony took control of the lead and never looked back on his way to the win, which was his first of the 2011 season! He was followed across the line by Rick Rickman, Brian Rickman, Kyle Beard, and Josh Putnam.

An emotional Burroughs commented in victory lane, "The start to this year has been so tough, and then so many of our friends were impacted by this past week's storms. This win goes out to everybody, who is hurting right now."

Anthony was once again back in action on Saturday night at North Alabama Speedway (Tuscumbia, Alabama) in a $2,000 to win, PRO Dirt Car Super Late Model Series event. Via time trials, Burroughs earned the fourth starting spot for the 40 lap feature. For much of the event, he would run in the top five, and late in the race he was challenging Kyle Beard for fourth, when he had to spin entering four to keep from getting into Beard. With only five laps remaining, Burroughs would rejoin the pack, but mechanical issues in the closing laps relegated him to a 10th place finish. Full weekend results are available at www.PRODirtCarSeries.com.

The upcoming weekend will find Anthony entering a pair of events in Georgia and Tennessee. On Friday, May 6th a $3,000 to win STARS Volunteer Racing Series event is scheduled at Boyds Speedway (Ringgold, Georgia), while on Saturday, May 7th Anthony will take part in a $1,200 to win event at Duck River Speedway.

Longview, Texas (05/03/11) – Apparently somebody forgot to tell Morgan Bagley that rookies aren't supposed to win because for the second time in 2011 the young driver powered his #14m McMillan Motorsports/Rocket By Club 29 Super Late Model to another $2,000 win with the O'Reilly SUPR Super Late Model event at USA Speedway (Sterlington, Louisiana) on Friday night.

Morgan returned to the scene of his first Super Late Model win on Friday night at USA Speedway (Sterlington, Louisiana), and by the time that the checkered flag dropped on the main event he had earned his second career win and second career O'Reilly SUPR win. He started the night by starting second in his heat race, which he won to lock into the third starting spot for the main event. For the first part of the feature, Morgan would run in the third position. However, as the leaders caught lapped traffic, Bagley would motor past Timothy Culp and Kevin Sitton to take possession of the lead. He went on to claim the $2,000 win! Full results are available at www.DirtonDirt.com .

Saturday night's scheduled O'Reilly SUPR Super Late Model event at I-30 Speedway (Little Rock, Arkansas) was nixed by rain. Morgan continues to lead the O'Reilly SUPR Rookie of the Year standings and overall points.

Bagley will be back on the road with the O'Reilly SUPR tour this weekend, May 6th-7th with a double header in Louisiana. The first race of the weekend will be on Friday night at Boothill Speedway (Greenwood, Louisiana) with a $2,000 to win event before moving on to Greenville Speedway (Greenville, Mississippi) on Saturday night for a $2,500 to win event.

Via his heat race performances, Cardy started seventh in the night's main event and advanced to a sixth place finish in the final running order.

The team's plans for Saturday night would ultimately be nixed as rain arrived shortly after the completion of Friday night's program and persisted throughout the night forcing the balance of the event to be canceled.

Jay finished 3rd in the final Pro Dirt Late Model Series and 4th in the Motorplex Championship points, which overall was a good result for the whole season. The team will now focus on next season and winning back the Motorplex Championship and winning the Pro Dirt Series Championship.

Crofton, Kentucky (04/21/11) – After growing weary of watching events in the Midwest fall victim to rain, Dillan White is taking his #54 DW Motorsports/Mastersbilt/Jay Dickens Racing Engine Super Late Model into battle this weekend in a pair of events in Mississippi.

With wet weather reigning supreme across the Midwest for the second straight week, Dillan has grown tired of sitting around the house, and is making the long tow to Mississippi this weekend, April 22nd-23rd, for a pair of Mississippi State Championship Challenge Series (MSCCS) events. On Friday night there will be a pair of firsts as Dillan enters his first event with the MSCCS as well as his first ever event at Hattiesburg Motorsports Park (Hattiesburg, Mississippi) as a $2,000 to win purse will be on the line. The next night the team will make the trek to Whynot Motorsports Park (Meridian, Mississippi) as White enters his second career event at the track, which will be highlighted by a $2,500 to win/$300 to start, 50 lap feature.

Vicksburg, MS (04/20/11) – Since taking to the national scene early last year, Bub McCool has only had the opportunity to race a handful of times around his home state over the past two years, but he is eagerly preparing to take his #57J McCool Logging/Victory Circle M1 Chassis By Moyer/Jay Dickens Racing Engine Super Late Model into battle this weekend in a pair of MSCCS events in the Magnolia state.

This weekend, April 22nd-23rd, will be highlighted by a pair of Mississippi State Championship Challenge Series (MSCCS) events.

Last weekend Bub entered the 2nd Annual Commonwealth 100 at Virginia Motor Speedway (Jamaica, Virginia). Forty-three Super Late Models entered the event, and Bub would qualify seventeenth fastest to lock into the fifth starting spot in his heat race. McCool's hopes to transfer to the feature via his heat would be quickly dashed when a mechanical failure caused him to spin, collecting Jason Feger. The contact from the damage was minimal, but the mechanical failure forced him to retire from the event. Via the heat race issues, Bub would start deep in a b-main event, but would mount a great charge to advance to a third place finish, which was good enough to transfer him to the main event in the 21st starting position. The finale was slated for Saturday night, but rain forced the balance of the program to be postponed until Sunday afternoon. The finale for the 2nd Annual Commonwealth 100 was held on Sunday afternoon. From the drop of the green flag, Bub would battle more mechanical issues on his #57j Super Late Model and the team would tweak on the car all day long, but he would still only manage a 19th place finish at the checkered flag. Full results are available at www.DirtOnDirt.com.

Broken Bow, OK (04/20/11) – After scoring a pair of top five finishes in his last outing, Gary Christian will take his #33x Pannell Chipping/LCM Cedar Fiber/Mastersbilt/Pro Power Super Late Model into battle this weekend in a pair of CCSDS Vs. MARS Super Late Model events in Arkansas and Missouri.

The team made the trek to Beebe Speedway (Beebe, Arkansas) on Friday night for the season opener for the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) tour. Gary has enjoyed strong runs at the facility in the past, and Friday night would be another good one for the 17 year-old driver. With 26 Super Late Models entered, Gary advanced from the sixth starting spot to a second place finish in his heat race to earn the sixth starting spot for the 35 lap, $2,000 to win feature. Early in the feature, Gary would slip as far back as the eighth position before beginning to utilize the high groove to his advantage as he began to march back through the field. Late in the race he would find himself as high as the fourth position before slipping to a still solid fifth place finish at the checkered flag behind winner, Allen Murray, Austin Rettig, Jon Mitchell, and Wendell Wallace.

For Saturday night, the team made the short trek across I-40 to Riverside International Speedway (West Memphis, Arkansas) for another CCSDS, $2,000 to win event. In heat race action Christian was battling for a transfer spot, when he inadvertently spun, forcing him to the tail of the pack. As a result, he would be relegated to running a b-main event, where he finished in the second position to earn the 15th starting spot for the 35 lap feature. In the main event on a slick, 1/4 mile Gary would pilot his #58x Mastersbilt to a fifth place finish for the second night in a row. He followed race winner, Austin Rettig, Billy Moyer Jr., Johnny Virden, and Jamie Dacus across the line. Gary is currently in second in the latest CCSDS points.

Trumann, AR (04/20/11) – After a weekend away from the track, Kyle Beard will take his #86 Victory Circle M1 Chassis By Moyer/Samuels Performance Racing Engine Super Late Model into action in a pair of CCSDS and MARS co-sanctioned events in Arkansas and Missouri.

Beard Motorsports was last in action two weeks ago in the 2011 COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) openers. He opened tour's season on Friday, April 8th at Beebe Speedway (Beebe, Arkansas) as 26 cars signed in for battle in the $2,000 to win, 35 lap event. After a solid outing in his heat race, Kyle earned the tenth starting spot for the feature. Early in the main event, he was working the top side, when he made contact with the front stretch wall, which bent part of the right front, wheel assembly. Despite having a wounded mount he would keep charging hard on the topside, and by the time that the checkered flag dropped, Beard was credited with a sixth place finish.

Saturday night, April 9th found Beard Motorsports making the short trip to Riverside International Speedway (West Memphis, Arkansas) for Round #2 of the 2011 CCSDS tour. Thirty Super Late Models entered the event, and early in the night Kyle would find himself behind the eight ball after struggling in time trials. Via his time trials woes, he started at the back of a heat race, but would charge through the field to a fourth place finish, which left him short of a transfer to the main event. As a result, he started on the front row of a b-main, which he won in commanding fashion by over a car length to lock into the 14th starting spot for the 35 lap feature. Early in the feature, Kyle was riding the high-line to the top ten before a flat tire shortly before the race's midway point forced him pitside. He would rejoin the tail of the field, and over the remainder of the event would rocket his way back to a ninth place finish. Kyle is tied for fifth in the early season CCSDS standings. Full weekend results are available at www.COMPDirt.com .

On the heels of the season opening, pair of top ten finishes with the CCSDS, Kyle will jump back in the ring this weekend as the tour goes head-to-head with the Mid America Racing Series (MARS) in a pair of events. The weekend gets underway on Friday, April 22nd at Batesville Motor Speedway (Locust Grove, Arkansas) with a $2,000 to win/$300 to start event before moving on to West Plains Motor Speedway (West Plains, Missouri) on Saturday, April 23rd for a $3,000 to win/$400 to start program.

Mike is unsure if he will enter any events this coming weekend, April 22nd-23rd, but he will definitely be returning to action on Friday, April 28th with the LOLMDS at Bedford Speedway (Bedford, Pennsylvania) for a $10,000 to win event before entering another $10,000 to win, LOLMDS program on Saturday, April 29th at Roaring Knob Motorplex (Markleysburg, Pennsylvania).

Two races are in the books and now you have two opportunities to ride along with Jim Moon. Moon Vision and All American Race Talk will be posting in car race videos thru out the 2011 season. Moon’s first two races both at Mighty Macon Speedway will be up on www.allamericanracetalk.com within the next few days.

Opening night at Macon kicked off MoonMan’s 2011 season. After a solid qualifying effort, Moon finished 2^nd in his heat. The second place heat finished was followed up by a strong 6^th place finished in the team’s first feature of the season.

The following weekend at Macon was not as triumphant. Weak qualifing efforts lead to a disappointing 5^th place heat finish. After starting near the rear of the field, Moon worked his way into the top 10. Unfortunately a wreck ended the night for the 1 car. Luckily Moon was not injured and the car only has a little cosmetic damage. Currently Moon is tied for 6^th place in points, only 22 points out of first.

Moon has finished work on the new hauler. Now he will be able to get into a regular race schedule. This weekend he will be racing the Northern All Star $2000 to win event at Lincoln Speedway followed by the regular show at Macon Speedway. With any success, at least one of those nights’ videos will be uploaded to All American Race Talk, the following week. That trend should continue until Summer Nationals when time constraints will limit the Moon Vision and “Ask the MoonMan” episodes.

As always, check back often to All American Race Talk, your one stop shop for all race talk.

Russellville, Arkansas (04/15/11) – Geoff Aitken has spent thousands of hours turning wrenches and getting Dewaine Hottinger's #65 Super Late Model ready for action, and this Saturday, Hott Motorsports will give back to Aitken as he makes his driving debut in the #16 Hott Motorsports/Doug's Electrical Service/GRT Crate Late Model at Centerville Speedway (Centerville, Arkansas)

The news was unveiled to Aitken on Thursday night, and it came as a total surprise. Geoff has been assisting in the construction of the car, but was under the impression that Hottinger and Jon Kirby would be splitting driving duties. He had no idea the car was for him.

Hottinger put the deal together to show his appreciation for all that Aitken has done for him. Dewaine comments, "Geoff has been with me since day one when I was just starting racing in Street Stocks at Centerville, and he was just 8 years old. His tireless help over the years has really been big for me. I really owe him a lot, and with the help of Jon Kirby we were able to put this deal together to show our appreciation, and so that on off weekends he can go and have some fun."

Geoff will make his debut on Saturday, April 16th in a Weekly Racing Series Event at Centerville Speedway (Centerville, Arkansas). For more information, please visit www.CentervilleSpeedway.com .

Hott Racing would like to thank its sponsors including Kirby Specialties Corporation, Doug’s Electrical Service, Bill Frye Motorsports, MSRMafia.com, O.H. Hendricks Sheet Metal, Kuntz & Co. Racing Engines, Coldwell Banker, and Rocket Chassis.

Seaford, Delaware (04/12/11) – Austin Hubbard is preparing for what will be a homecoming of sorts this weekend, April 15th-16th, as he prepares to take his best shot at conquering the 2nd Annual NAPA of King William Commonwealth 100 at Virginia Motor Speedway (Jamaica, Virginia) .

Austin, who was the 2010 World of Outlaws Super Late Model Rookie of the Year, spent many of the developmental years of his young career turning laps at the 1/2 mile oval at Virginia Motor Speedway, and he is a former track champion and multi-time feature winner. Given his history at the track, it's obviously a sentimental favorite for him, so it's no secret that he would like nothing more than to claim the biggest win of his career at the facility in the upcoming weekend's 2nd Annual NAPA of King William Commonwealth 100. In addition to chasing the big win, Hubbard will be looking to reclaim the points lead in the World of Outlaws sanctioned event as he currently sits in the third position in the latest tour standings, just six points removed from the top spot. This weekend's event opens with time trials and heat race action on Friday night, April 15th. Saturday, April 16th will be highlighted by b-mains, a $3,000 to win non-qualifiers events, and the $25,000 to win/$2,000 to start, 100 lap finale.

Last Saturday, Austin took advantage of a rare weekend off of the World of Outlaws tour to compete in a Weekly Racing Series Event at Delaware International Raceway (Delmar, Delaware). After finishing second in his heat race, Austin started tenth in the main event and would mount a great charge through the field, which saw his race his way to the second position. He would pursue Richard Jarvis Jr. late in the event, but would ultimately settle for a second place finish at the checkered flag.

Vicksburg, MS (04/12/11) – On Friday night at Duck River Speedway, Bub McCool started the night by setting a new track record and then proceeded to decimate the field in his #57J McCool Logging/Victory Circle M1 Chassis By Moyer/Jay Dickens Racing Engine Super Late Model as he claimed his second win of 2011.

On his way to Indiana for Saturday's Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) event, Bub decided to make a detour through Tennessee for a $3,000 to win, Tennessee Super Series event at Duck River Speedway (Wheel, Tennessee) on Friday night. The event saw a stout field of 41 cars entered, and Bub started the event with a bang by lowering the track record to a 12.494 to earn the pole position for the feature. In the main event, Bub would drive away from the lead as he led all 40 laps of the event claiming the convincing win over Chris Wall and Tim Busha. The win was his second of the season.

Fresh off Friday night's win in Tennessee, Bub rolled into Brownstown Speedway (Brownstown, Indiana) for the LOLMDS-sanctioned, 14th Annual Ice Breaker. Forty-nine Super Late Models entered the event, and for the second night in a row, McCool would earn the pole position for the feature event. Early in the event Bub would set the pace as he led the first six laps before the handling on his car began to go fade. He would still manage to race his way to seventh place finish against a talent-laden field of competitors. Full results are available at www.LucasDirt.com .

This weekend, April 15th-16th, Bub will look to tame the lightning fast, 1/2 mile oval at Virginia Motor Speedway (Jamaica, Virginia) in the 2nd Annual Commonwealth 100.

Carrollton, Mississippi (04/12/11) –Klint Byars overcame a great battle with David Breazeale to pilot his #5 Southern Belle/K&K Motorsports/Victory Circle M1 Chassis By Moyer/Jay Dickens Racing Engine Super Late Model to his biggest career win in a Mississippi State Championship Challenge Series (MSCCS) sanctioned event on Saturday night..

Klint and K&K Motorsports continued what has been a dream start to the 2011 season on Saturday night, as he staged an incredible battle with David Breazeale to claim his first ever Mississippi State Championship Challenge Series (MSCCS) win to the tune of $2,500 at Whynot Motorsports Park (Meridian, Mississippi).

Twenty-five Super Late Models entered the event, and Byars started the night by unofficially setting a new track record at the racy, clay oval. Via his qualifying effort he earned the pole starting position for the dash, which he would finish second to Breazeale. As a result, Klint started outside front row for the 50 lap feature, and at the drop of the green flag, the lead duo would begin a battle that would rage for the majority of the caution-free event. Byars and Breazeale would swap the lead close to ten times before Byars inched ahead for good on lap 38 and went on to claim the biggest win of his career, which was his second overall of the season. Breazeale, Steve Bryan, Jeremy Broadus, and Rodney Wing rounded out the final top five. With the win Klint now leads the tour' standings. Full results are available at www.StateSeries.com.

West Memphis, Arkansas (04/09/11) – For the second time in as many nights, the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series saw a first time winner in victory lane as 16 year-old, Sikeston, Missouri driver, Austin Rettig, won a thriller by 0.040 seconds over Billy Moyer Jr. on an emotional night at Riverside International Speedway (West Memphis, Arkansas).

Seven years ago Saturday, Austin Rettig lost his older, 13 year-old brother, Nathan in a freak, recreational four wheeler accident. On Saturday night, Austin raced with a heavy heart and his brother at his side as he claimed his first Super Late Model win in breath-taking fashion.

Rettig commented in victory lane, "I just know that Nathan was just there with me the whole way, and this win is for him. Dad told me yesterday that I was going to win on Saturday night, but to actually do it just means so much. This one is definitely for Nathan."

Thirty Super Late Models entered the event, and for the first time in the history of the tour, time trials were utilized to set the starting grid for heat race action. It was Kuntz & Company Rookie of the Year contender, Shane Harris, who powered his #0 GRT to the fast time award, but it was Bill Frye and Billy Moyer Jr., who earned the front row for the 35 lap, feature event via their heat race wins. They were followed to the green flag by fellow heat race winners, and second row starters, Dewaine Hottinger and Austin Rettig.

Early in the event it was Moyer Jr., who flexed his muscle as he jumped out to a straightaway advantage over Frye, Rettig, Hottinger, and Jamie Dacus. Moyer Jr. would see his lead erased on lap 5 for a multi-car accident in turns three and four. On the ensuing restart, Moyer Jr. motored away from the pack, while Frye and Rettig battled side-by-side for the second spot. As the top three held their own battle, a driver on the move was seventh starting, Johnny Virden, who moved into fourth by lap eight.

Random cautions dotted the running order over the next several laps before the caution flag flew on lap 31 for debris on the track as second place runner, Bill Frye, ducked into the pit area for the second night in a row with a flat tire in the closing laps. He would rejoin the tail, and the top five running order included Billy Moyer Jr., Rettig, Virden, Brandon Smith, and Dacus.

As the race went green for the final time Rettig pulled alongside Moyer Jr. and the duo would battle side-by-side for the lead for the next three laps as they exchanged the top spot. Coming to the white flag, Moyer Jr. inched ahead and looked to be on his way to the win before his car slightly pushed in turn four coming to the checkered flag, allowing Rettig to get one final run on the low side. Rettig's final run would be just the trick as he would score the win by 0.040 seconds as the crowd went wild. The top five in the final running order included Moyer Jr., Virden, Dacus, and Gary Christian.

The Rocket Chassis First Heat was won by Bill Frye with Dewaine Hottinger winning the RacingJunk.com Second Heat Race, while Billy Moyer Jr. won the Woodco Inc. Third Heat Race, and Austin Rettig won the Racing Head Service Fourth Heat Race.

Gary Christian was the recipient of the Larry Shaw Race Cars Hard Charger Award after advancing from his 15th starting spot to a 5th place finish.

The Quarter Master Hard Luck Award went to Bill Frye, who had to endure a flat tire inside the final laps of the race for the second night in a row..

Batesville, Arkansas (04/06/11) – A year ago Billy Moyer Jr. swept the opening weekend of the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) tour in his #21jr Henderson Motorsports/Car City/Imperial Motors/Victory Circle M1 Chassis By Moyer/Bullock Racing Engine Super Late Model, and this weekend he will look to repeat history as he returns to Beebe Speedway (Beebe, AR) and Riverside International Speedway (West Memphis, AR).

Last weekend found Jr. Motorsports making the long trek to the state of Texas for a $20,000 to win, Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) event at Lone Star Speedway (Kilgore, Texas). With 48 cars entered into the event, Billy earned the fourth starting spot for his heat race, and after a brief stint in the third position would slip to a fourth place finish, which still earned him a transfer spot to the 13th starting position for Saturday night's 100 lap feature. Despite looking forward to having a chance at a good finish in the feature on Saturday, his hopes would be quickly dashed as he was spun from behind by on lap 6 and would receive hard contact from another car. The damage retired him from the event to a 25th place finish.

This weekend, April 8th-9th, Billy Moyer Jr. will return to familiar territory as he enters a pair of CCSDS events in Arkansas. A year ago he swept both events for what proved to be a precursor to a breakout season. He hopes to do the same again this year. The weekend opens on Friday night at Beebe Speedway (Beebe, AR) with a $2,000 to win/$300 to start event before moving to Riverside International Speedway (West Memphis, AR) on Saturday night for a $2,000 to win/$400 to start race.

Travis Senter Jr. Displays Dominance in Inaugural USCS 600 Events

Osceola, Arkansas (04/06/11) - When USCS President, Pete Walton, announced the formation of the new USCS 600cc Mini Sprint tour over the off-season many people in the sport automatically tabbed hotshoe, Travis Senter Jr., as the driver, who would be the man to beat in the series, and thus far he has not disappointed as he has claimed wins in the sanction's first three events.

Coming off his second-straight Australian Championship over the winter, Travis has hit the ground running stateside in 2011 in his #22 Senter Motorsports/Stallard/FTZ Racing Engines Mini Sprint. He opened his American season on March 18th at Malden Speedway (Malden, Missouri) in the first leg of the Bootheel 200 doubleheader. The inaugural event saw 16 cars, representing four states sign in for battle, but it was Senter, who charged from his fifth starting position to claim the opening night win over Harli White and Howard Moore

The next night saw Travis entering the backend of the doubleheader at Malden Speedway, and although he would have to start deep in the pack in the tenth starting position, the end result would be the same as he methodically worked his way to the win over the 21 car field, which came over Howard Moore and Derek King.

After a two week hiatus it was back to business for Senter Jr., as he made the four hour tow to "The Baddest Bullring in the South," Columbus Speedway (Columbus, Mississippi) on Saturday, April 2nd. Via heat race action, Travis earned the pole position for the main event and from that point there was no looking back as he went flag-to-flag to claim the win in front of Henry Gustavus Jr. and Bobby Zaiontz.

In regards to his blistering start to the year, Senter Jr. comments, "I've never had such a good start to a season. Coming off a series title in Australia definitely helped keep me up to speed, and I've also made some crew changes this year, as I parted ways with long time helper, Tommy Carter. We had a great working relationship over the years, but I just felt it was time to move in a different direction and carve a new path. This sets me up perfectly for the upcoming big races on the schedule, and I can't wait to see what my new car I'm currently putting together and new engine packages will do for my program."

Finally Travis would like to thank Pete Walton for putting together the touring USCS 600cc Mini Sprint Series.

Travis will take the upcoming weekend off from racing before returning to action on Saturday, April 16th at Clarksville Speedway (Clarksville, Tennessee) in a $2,000 to win event. For more information on the event, please visit www.ClarksvilleSpeedway.com .

Similarly the driver highest in points (who didn't use a provisional at the Ralph Henson Memorial), who doesn't qualify for the Trick or Treat Nationals at Riverside International Speedway on Saturday, October 22nd will get a provisional starting spot for the main event.

Race fans can also donate money to the point's fund if they so choose.

Vicksburg, MS (04/05/11) – After racing in the top five for the duration of the event in his #57J McCool Logging/Victory Circle M1 Chassis By Moyer/Jay Dickens Racing Engine Super Late Model Bub McCool saw his hopes of a top five run dashed late in the event.

The team traveled to Lone Star Speedway (Kilgore, Texas) over the weekend for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) sanctioned event. Forty-eight Super Late Models entered the event, and on Friday night, Bub raced to a second place finish in his heat race to lock into the seventh starting spot in Saturday night's 100 lap, $20,000 to win feature.

On Saturday night an abrasive track would greet the competitor, and early in the event, Bub would get as high as the second position as he battled Shannon Babb for the lead. However, as the race wore on Bub would battle the setup on his entry and fading tires as he slipped backwards to the fifth position. He looked to be on his way to a top five finish before a flat tire sidelined him with just nine laps to go relegating him to a 16th place finish at the checkered flag. Bub is currently tied for 11th in the latest tour standings. Full results are available at www.LucasDirt.com .

This weekend, McCool will travel to Brownstown Speedway (Brownstown, Indiana) for the 14th Annual Ice Breaker, which will be sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series on Saturday, April 9th.

Jay was back behind the wheel of his Super Late Model on Saturday night at Perth Motorplex (Kwinana Beach, Western Australia) for the penultimate round of the Kwinana Track Championship, the Silver Cup. Jay started the first heat race in 6th and finished 4th. For the second heat race, he started in the 11th position and advanced to a 3rd place finish.

Via his heat race performances, Cardy was the fourth highest in points, and as a result he started the main event in the fourth position. At the drop of the green flag, Jay got the jump on the field and raced to the lead in the first corner. He would go on to lead all but the last four laps after getting caught behind lapped traffic late in the race, which allowed the second place car to slip by for the top spot. Jay would go on to finish in the second position.

After the race Jay commented, "We had a great car all night and it was disappointing to not go home with the win in the feature."

Jay is currently 4th in the Motorplex Track Championship standings with only one event remaining, which is the Gold Cup on April 16th at Perth Motorplex (Kwinana Beach, Western Australia).

Last weekend, the team set out to enter a trio of WoO events in Florida and Georgia, but Mother Nature would intervene in the team's plans. Friday night saw Austin Hubbard and Beitler Motorsports return to action with the World of Outlaws Super Late Model tour at Ocala Speedway (Ocala, Florida). With a field of 28 Super Late Models entered, the night started great for Austin as he set a new track record in time trials. He would go on to win his heat and pulled the second starting spot in the redraw for the feature. In the main event he would run in the top five for the duration and was holding down the fifth position as the field came to the white flag, but bad luck would find him as his right rear would go flat, relegating him to a disappointing 19th place finish in the final rundown.

Friday would prove to be the only event that the team would enter over the weekend as rain washed away Saturday's program at Screven Motor Speedway (Sylvania, Georgia) and Sunday's program at Needmore Speedway (Norman Park, Georgia).

For the upcoming weekend, April 1st-2nd, Austin was scheduled to compete with the World of Outlaws in the Illini 100 at La Salle Speedway (La Salle, Illinois). However, a poor forecast forced the promoters to cancel the event. As a result, the team will now take part in a homecoming of sorts as they enter a $2,500 to win event on Saturday night at Georgetown Speedway (Georgetown, Delaware). The event will mark a rare chance for Hubbard to get to race in his home state. With a strong buzz around the homecoming, ASI Racewear will have their souvenir trailer on hand with all of Austin Hubbard's merchandise, as well as apparel for drivers such as Brian Birkhofer, Jimmy Mars, Chris Wall, Earl Pearson Jr., and several other drivers.

Austin Hubbard would like to thank all of his sponsors including Beitler Motorsports, Reliable Painting, Commonwealth 100 at Virginia Motor Speedway (April 15th-16th), Trinity Transport, Salisbury Door & Hardware, Rocket Chassis, Cornett Racing Engines, Keyser's Port City Racing, Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic, Robby Allen Enterprises, Sunoco Race Fuels, Behrent's Performance Warehouse, PANELfast, Trick Race Parts, Hawk Performance, Dyer's Top Rods, The Joie of Seating, Bell Helmets, Wilwood Disc Brake, Cizmar, TWM Racing Products, Crow Design, TC Race Cars, Integra Shocks & Springs, R2C Competition Filters, Outerwears Pre-Filters, Performance Rod & Custom, CPD Racing Tools, Wehrs Machine & Racing Products, Peterson Fluid Systems, Brown & Miller Racing Solutions, Weld Racing, Performance Bodies, Sweet Mfg, Schaeffer's Oil, MPC Performance, Jones Racing Products, Three Wide Clothing, and MSR Mafia.com Marketing Services.

Coldwater, Mississippi (03/30/11) – After a few weeks away from the track Chris Moore will take his #17 Lindsey Motorsports/Shaw By C Moore/FLR Racing Engine Open Wheel Modified into battle this weekend at Columbus Speedway (Columbus, Mississippi) with the K&N Filters USCS Open Wheel Modified tour.

Chris and Lindsey Motorsports were last in action two weeks ago, March 18th-19th, at the Bootheel 200 in K&N Filters USCS Open Wheel Modified Series action at Malden Speedway (Malden, MO). Thirty cars entered the event, and on Friday night Chris locked into the K&N Filters Pole Sitter's Dash, where he recorded a third place finish to earn the third starting spot for Saturday night's 30 lap finale. In the feature, the team would make a bar change, which would result in the car being too tight. He would go on to battle in the top five for the duration of the event before settling for a solid third place finish behind race winner, Jesse Stovall, and Ben Reed. Full results are available at www.USCSRacing.com .

This Saturday, April 2nd Chris will return to action with the K&N Filters USCS tour at Columbus Speedway in the Spring Xplosion, which will pay $1,000 to win.

After several unsuccessful attempts to get his season underway, Ross was finally able to enter an event as he traveled to Jackson Motor Speedway (Byram, Mississippi) for a Weekly Racing Series Event, which served as the season opener for the facility. Twenty-one Super Late Models entered the event and Camponovo began the night by qualifying ninth fastest to earn the fourth starting spot for his heat race. He would finish fourth in the heat, which locked him into the ninth starting spot for the main event.

In the 20 lap feature, Ross would mount a good run as he advanced to a sixth place finish behind event winner, Rodney Wing, Chad Thrash, Jason Cliburn, Steve Bryan, and George Paul. Full results are available at www.JacksonMotorSpeedway.net.

Laurel, Mississippi (03/29/11) – After seeing two of three World of Outlaws Super Late Model events nixed by rain last week, Henderson Motorsports will head to Texas this weekend with both guns blazing as both David Breazeale and Leon Henderson will enter the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) event at Lone Star Speedway.

Henderson Motorsports entered their first ever event at Ocala Speedway (Ocala, Florida) on Friday night, March 25th. The $10,000 to win, World of Outlaws event saw David Breazeale start the night strong by setting sixth fast time overall in his #54 Henderson Motorsports/Victory Circle M1 By Moyer Super Late Model. In his heat race, he would finish second to earn a spot in the redraw for the feature. The redraw would reward Breazeale with the fourth starting spot for the feature. Despite starting near the front of the pack in the feature, David would find his mount to be ill-handling as he struggled on the one groove track. After slipping back several spots early in the feature, Breazeale would retire to a 24th place finish.

Leon Henderson was also in action in his #10 Henderson Motorsports/Victory Circle M1 By Moyer Super Late Model, but would struggle in time trials leaving him starting at the back of a heat race. In both the heat and his b-main, Leon would not reach a transfer spot to the feature bringing his night to an early end.

The team ventured to Screven Motor Speedway (Sylvania, Georgia) on Saturday night for a $10,000 to win, World of Outlaws Super Late Model event. Unfortunately, shortly after arriving rain showers began to plague the facility, ultimately forcing the postponement of the event until November 2nd.

With a poor forecast for Sunday night's program at Needmore Speedway (Norman Park, Georgia) the team opted to head home early Sunday morning. It would prove to be a good decision as the event would fall victim to late afternoon rain.

This weekend both team drivers will enter the $20,000 to win, Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) event at Lone Star Speedway (Kilgore, Texas). An open practice session will be held on the 3/8 mile on Thursday night. Friday night will see time trials and heat race action, with Saturday night's program consisting of b-mains and the feature event.

Billy Moyer Jr. took part in the first night of the 1st Annual Cash Cow 100 on Friday night as 49 of the nation's best drivers entered the World of Outlaws sanctioned events. In time trials, Billy would battle a tricky track, and as a result would start seventh in the first heat.

He would catch a big break with two laps remaining when second place Dan Schlieper slowed with a flat tire. At the time of the caution, Moyer Jr. was running just outside a transfer spot, but on the ensuing restart he would drive past Earl Pearson Jr. for the fourth and final transfer position. Billy would go onto hold onto the final transfer spot and will start in the 13th position in Saturday night's $20,000 to win/100 lap feature.

Klint opened his 2011 campaign on Friday night in strong company as entered the 1st Annual Cash Cow 100 at Columbus Speedway (Columbus, MS).

However, Byars would mount a great run in his heat race as he advanced to a third place finish in the 15 lap race. Via his finish, Klint will start 10th in Saturday night's $20,000 to win/100 lap feature. On Saturday night Byars would find the going to be rough early in the 100 lap event as mechanical issues found after Friday night's program continued to plague the young driver early in the race, and he would retire at lap 10 to a 24th place finish. Despite not getting the finish that he would've liked, Klint was extremely pleased with his performance against the nation's best drivers and will look to carry his momentum into the upcoming events.

Morgan broke through with his first career Super Late Model win on Friday night as he raced his way to an impressive triumph in the O'Reilly SUPR Super Late Model event at USA Speedway (Sterlington, Louisiana). With changes being made on their primary car, the Rocket by Club 29 Chassis, Morgan was forced to utilize his 2010 Rocket Chassis for the weekend's events.

STEVE KINSER & DONNY SCHATZ
Tony Stewart Racing Continues Outlaw Madness in California

INDIANAPOLIS (March 15, 2011) – While most of America is busy filling out March Madness brackets, the competitors from the World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Car Series are preparing to avoid any upsets in their second consecutive weekend of action in California. The month-long swing through the Golden State continues with stops this weekend at Giant Chevrolet Kings Speedway in Hanford on Friday and at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare on Saturday night. Tony Stewart Racing’s (TSR) Steve Kinser and Donny Schatz will play the role of top seeds but, like the NCAA tournament that kicks off this week, there are plenty of opportunities for Cinderella stories to occur.

Sprint car racing in California is very competitive and, when the Outlaws visit, that action normally reaches another level. The tracks are typically smaller and provide close racing. Oftentimes, the surfaces remain wet and sticky throughout the night, resulting in unpredictable outcomes. Several current Outlaws began their careers racing locally in the state prior to joining the traveling series, and there are a number of young stars hoping to splash onto the big stage this weekend by pulling off a major upset.

Kinser, driver of the TSR No. 11 Bass Pro Shops/J.D. Byrider/Chevy Maxim, is hoping the favorites advance through the weekend and come out victorious. “The King of the Outlaws” is the winningest driver in WoO history with 565 A-Feature triumphs and has won four of eight races this season. Friday’s visit to Kings Speedway will be the series’ first race at the track since February 2003. Kinser has scored seven WoO victories at the 3/8-mile dirt oval. The Bloomington, Ind., native won his first in September 1986 and seventh race at the track in September 1999. He has finished inside the top-10 in his last 10 starts there.

When the Outlaws made their debut at Thunderbowl Raceway in September 2003, Kinser was the fastest qualifier and led 31 of the 35 laps to capture the victory. It was the 51^st time he won an inaugural WoO race at a track and, since then, has done it seven more times. In February 2006, Kinser swept two races staged at the track by the National Sprint Tour. He has 12 top-10s in 13 WoO starts at the 1/3-mile dirt oval. Last March, he charged forward in both WoO races. The first night, he was involved in an accident while running third and raced his way from the back to finish fifth. The following night, he stormed from 21^st to finish sixth.

Schatz has made a lot of laps in California. Each season, his results seem to get better. Schatz hopes he can drive the TSR No. 15 STP/Armor All/Chevy J&J in front of the field at both facilities. The four-time WoO champion has eight top-10s in 10 career starts at Giant Chevrolet Kings Speedway. His most impressive drive came in February 1999, when he raced from 21^st to finish fifth. The Fargo, N.D., racer has scored a pair of wins in Tulare. The first victory came in October 2005 on a night when he established a new track record during qualifications. His second triumph occurred in October 2007, a victory that helped him seal up his second consecutive WoO crown. Last season at Tulare, he finished fourth in the opener, but was involved in an accident in the second event and got stuck in the pit area making repairs. He was scored 20^th.

The Outlaws kicked off their five-race tour through California last weekend with Saturday night’s Mini Gold Cup at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico. Schatz raced to victory in the dash and chased eventual winner Craig Dollansky around the quarter-mile dirt track for 35 laps, ultimately finishing second. Kinser didn’t have the kind of success he was hoping for and finished 13^th.

Kinser continues to lead the 2011 WoO championship standings through eight of 67 WoO races. Kinser has won four races to go with six top-five finishes, seven top-10s, and he has accumulated 1,142 points. Schatz has earned three consecutive podium finishes and ranks fourth with 1,071 points, 71 behind Kinser.

Steve Kinser, Driver of the No. 11 TSR/Bass Pro Shops/Chevy/J.D. Byrider Maxim:

During your career, you’ve raced at numerous tracks. This weekend, you’ll be returning to Kings Speedway. Even though it’s been a few years since you raced there, will you approach the track the same as you have in the past?

“The approach won’t change, but some of the things we do will. With dirt racing, no matter where you go, the track is always going to be a little different. It’s been quite a few years since we’ve been there. We actually ran a National Sprint Tour show there in the fall of 2006 and it was still pretty similar to what it was back in 2003. A lot has changed with the cars and wings since then. We’re running different tires now, too, so it just goes back to working together as a team. This Bass Pro Shops crew does a great job. I don’t think there will be much that can surprise them. We have to start the night with a good qualifying effort and then go from there.”

Thunderbowl Raceway is your typical California track. It has good banking, tight corners and usually is a great show for the fans. What do you like about racing at Tulare?

“It’s a great place to race. Anytime you can run three different grooves and be able to charge from the back to the front, it’s pretty exciting. I know, as a driver, it gets pretty intense. There are cars running all over the place and you deal with lapped traffic. It’s a place where you have to have a car that can run on multiple parts of the track and, as a driver, you have to make good decisions. It’s definitely one of those tracks where you need to be really good in the seat. When you win a race in Tulare, it’s a pretty good feeling.”

If the schedule would have worked out differently, you would have been spending the weekend watching your son Kurt wrestle at the NCAA National Championships in Philadelphia. How tough is it going to be on you to not be in the stands rooting him on?

“It’s going to be really tough. This is his last year at Indiana University and his last shot at being an All-American. In my life, I’ve had to miss quite a few things, and I know this is going to be one of the toughest. Fortunately, Dana (wife) and I have been able to make a lot of his meets this year. We were able to go the Big Ten Tournament right after the Las Vegas races and see him earn his way to the NCAA championships. Kurt is the only one in our family who never really wanted to race. He’s always been about going to school and competing in wrestling. I’m really proud of him, and he knows I’ll be thinking about him all weekend. Dana will keep me posted on how things are going.

“We’ll just do our best to win a couple of races in California and, hopefully, he can win a few matches there. He’s worked really hard for a long time. I know how important it would be for him to finish his career with a really good weekend at the championships.”

Following two strong finishes at Las Vegas, you were able to score another good finish in the Mini Gold Cup last week. Do you feel like the STP team is gaining momentum?

“It feels like we are getting a little better. We have a long way to go to return to the consistency that we’ve had in the past. It’s small steps right now. We’re still trying to get that first win of the year. We also understand that we have to be in position to win to have a chance to do it. In the last three races, we’ve put ourselves in that position. Silver Dollar Speedway hasn’t always been the best place for me but, last week, we had a really good car all night long. We are making strides in the right direction and have to maintain some consistency – qualify well, race our way into the dash, and continue to move forward in the feature races. We know there are no shortcuts to getting where we need to be.”

The schedule continues this week with two more races in California. On Friday night, you return to Hanford and, on Saturday night, it’s back to Tulare. What are your expectations for each night?

“It’s going to be another competitive weekend, that’s for sure. It’s still early in the year and everyone is hungry to win races. I know I’m pretty fired up to win a race. We are going back to Hanford and I haven’t won there. I’ve had to run from the back to the front a few times and just have gotten the job done. The tracks are small and you have to be able to maneuver through traffic. I love it when our races get that way, and it comes down to the driver having to make the right choices. I think the fans like seeing us battle all the way around the track. Tulare usually starts pretty narrow, but widens up as the night goes on. You have to continually make adjustments. And that’s where having a strong crew comes in. I know that my guys (crew chief Rick Warner and crewmen Steve Swenson and Bob Curtis) have been working really hard. Our goal is to continue putting ourselves in a position to win. If we can do that both nights this weekend, I like our chances.”

Batesville, Arkansas (03/08/11) – After scoring a top ten finish last weekend in the Texas Dirt Track World Championship, Billy Moyer Jr. is preparing to take his #21jr Victory Circle M1 Chassis By Moyer/Bullock Racing Engine Super Late Model into battle this weekend in a pair of Tennessee events.

Jr. Motorsports continued the busy start to their season by traveling to the Texas Dirt Track World Championship at the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track on Saturday, March 5th. The O'Reilly SUPR sanctioned event drew a field of 39 Super Late Models, and in heat race action, Moyer Jr. put on a driving display as he powered his #21 Victory Circle by Moyer from the tenth starting spot to a third place finish, which locked him into the sixth starting spot for the main event. Early in the race, Billy would race his way up to the second spot as he challenged the leader for the first half of the event. However, as the race wore on, his tires wouldn't fire, and he slipped to a sixth place finish behind event winner, Will Vaught, Chris Brown, Morgan Bagley, Ronny Lee Hollingsworth, and Kelly Boen. Full results are available at www.DirtOnDirt.com .

This weekend, March 11th-12th, Billy will travel to a pair of Tennessee ovals as he enters back-to-back, $3,000 to win events.

Northport, Alabama (03/07/11) – Fresh off a top five finish at the Texas World Dirt Track Championship Ronny Lee Hollingsworth and Flynn Motorsports will enter a pair of Southern All Star Super Late Model events this coming weekend in Georgia and Tennessee.

Ronny Lee continued his 2011 season last Saturday night in the Texas Dirt Track World Championship at the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track (Justin, Texas) as the O'Reilly SUPR Super Late Model tour sanctioned the event. Thirty-nine Super Late Models entered the event, and Hollingsworth started the event on a strong note as he won his heat race to lock into a top ten starting spot for the feature event. In the feature, Ronny Lee would battle in the top five for the duration of the event before scoring a fourth place finish at the checkered flag behind race winner, Will Vaught, Chris Brown, and Morgan Bagley.

Hollingsworth will take his #18 Flynn Motorsports/Mastersbilt by Stuckey/Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model into battle this weekend, March 11th-12th with a Southern All Star double header. The weekend will open on Friday night with a $5,000 to win event at Boyds Speedway (Ringgold, Georgia) before moving to Cleveland Speedway (Cleveland, Tennessee) on Saturday night for the $10,000 to win, 16th Annual Shamrock 60 event.

Vicksburg, MS (03/07/11) – After a week break Bub McCool will travel to Georgia this weekend, March 11th-12th, as he takes his#57J McCool Logging/Victory Circle M1 Chassis By Moyer/Jay Dickens Racing Engine Super Late Model into battle in the Super Bowl of Racing at Golden Isles Speedway (Brunswick, Georgia). The weekend will consist of a pair of $10,000 to win shows and serves as a make-up for the original event, which was rained out in early February. For more information, please visit www.GoldenIslesSpeedway.com .

Bub was last in action two weeks ago as he made his first ever trip to Ark-La-Tex Speedway (Vivian, Louisiana) for the 1st Annual Childress Fishing & Rentals Pelican 100 on February 25th-26th. After seeing Thursday's practiced nixed by rain, the event saw 48 Super Late Models register for action on Friday night. Bub would start the weekend with a bang by setting fast time around the oval with a 13.110 second lap. Via his qualifying effort, he started on the pole of his heat race, which he won half a lap to claim the pole position for Saturday night's 100 lap finale, which paid $10,000 to win.

As the feature went green, McCool motored away from the field, and by the time the event's first caution flag waved on lap 21, McCool had lapped up to eleventh place. On the ensuing restart McCool and Hollingsworth would battle for the lead and just a few laps later Hollingsworth would take over the top spot. McCool would chase him for the next fifty laps as Ray Moore joined the battle for the lead. On a lap 79 restart McCool would blast around the highside to take the lead from Hollingsworth, but caution would quickly wave as Hollingsworth spun in turn three. As the race went green again, McCool charged around Ray Moore to take the lead and would jump to as much as a straight-aways lead over the next few laps before Ray Moore and David Breazeale began to charge back to the front. Over the closing laps the trio would battle three wide for the lead and coming to the white flag Moore inched ahead on the lowside to take the lead. McCool and Moore would battle side-by-side for the final lap with Moore claiming the narrow win over McCool at the checkered flag. Full results are available at www.DirtonDirt.com .

Alexander, Arkansas (03/06/11) – After a long winter, 16 year-old, Drew Armstrong will kick off his 2011 campaign in his #01a Armstrong Auto-Sports/Larry Shaw Open Wheel Modified this weekend, March 10th-12th, in the 15th Annual Mid-America IMCA Modified Championship.

Armstrong, who was the 2010 I-30 Speedway (Little Rock, Arkansas) and Batesville Motor Speedway (Locust Grove, Arkansas) Rookie of the Year, is eager to open his season as he pursues track championships at both facilities as well as the IMCA State, Regional, and National Championships. Drew had hoped to take part in this past Saturday's test and tune and car show at I-30 Speedway, but Mother Nature had other ideas nixing the program.

His quest will begin this weekend with the 15th Annual Mid-America IMCA Modified Championship at Batesville Motor Speedway. The event will consist of three straight nights of racing action at the lightning fast, 3/8 mile oval. Each night a complete program consisting of heat races, b-mains, and a $1,500 to win/$150 to start feature will be held. In addition, the driver, who accumulates the most points over the three night stretch will receive a $500 bonus, and all three events serve as qualifying events for the Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational, which is held at the end of the year at the IMCA Super Nationals.

Haughton, Louisiana (03/03/11) – Ray Moore has won dozens of races as well as a few championships in his young career, but on Saturday night at Ark-La-Tex Speedway he made history as he claimed his biggest win to the tune of $10,000 in the Childress Fishing & Rentals Pelican 100.

Ray entered familiar territory over the weekend as he entered the 1st annual Childress Fishing & Rentals Pelican 100 at Ark-La-Tex Speedway (Vivian, Louisiana). Despite only racing at the track a couple of times, Moore has done a great deal of testing at the facility and considers it his home track. In time trials on Friday night, Moore turned the fourth fastest lap overall to earn the pole position for the fourth heat, which he won to lock into the fourth starting spot for Saturday night's 100 lap, $10,000 to win event.

In Saturday's feature, Ray would find himself slipping back a few spots in the early stages of the event, but as the race progressed his car began to come to him and by lap 75 he was catching the front-runners and took the lead on lap 79 before caution waved to force him back to the second spot. The next restart would see leader, Ronny Lee Hollingsworth, spin as the caution waved again giving the lead to Moore. On the next restart, Moore's tires would be slow to fire, and he would see Bub McCool and David Breazeale race past him as he slipped to the third spot. However, Ray would not give up and used the low groove to catch the top two cars over the closing laps, and on the white flag lap Moore would inch ahead for good to claim the win by a car length over Bub McCool and David Breazeale. The $10,000 payday was the richest of Moore's young career! Full results are available at www.ArkLaTexSpeedway.com .

Ray will take his momentum into action this Saturday, March 5th as he enters the $3,500 to win, Texas Dirt Track Championship at the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track (Justin, Texas). The event will be sanctioned by the O'Reilly SUPR Super Late Model tour, and will feature heat races, b-mains, and the main event. For more information on the event, please visit www.SUPRRacing.com .

Longview, Texas (03/03/11) – Morgan Bagley served notice to the Super Late Model world over the course of last weekend that he will be a force in 2011 by recording a fifth place finish against a talented field of competitors at the Pelican 100 in his #14m McMillan Motorsports/Rocket by Club 29 Super Late Model.

For the first time since January, Morgan was back in action over the course of last weekend at Ark-La-Tex Speedway (Vivian, Louisiana) in the 1st Annual Childress Fishing & Rentals Pelican 100. The event was slated to get underway with an Open Practice Session on Thursday night, but Mother Nature would have other ideas as it would nix the practice. As a result, the program opened on Friday with time trials and heat race action. With 48 Super Late Models entered, Morgan registered a strong qualifying effort to start third in his heat race. At the drop of the green flag, he would jump to the second spot and would go on to chase Bub McCool to the checkered flag to record a second place finish, which earned him the fifth starting spot for Saturday night's $10,000 to win, 100 lap finale.

On Saturday night, Morgan would initially fall backwards a few spot early in the event before he began to work his way forward again. Shortly after the midpoint of the feature, he would get as high as the fourth spot and even briefly cracked the top three before slipping two spots to a fifth place finish at the checkered flag behind winner, Ray Moore, Bub McCool, David Breazeale, and Kenny Merchant. Full results are available at www.ArkLaTexSpeedway.com .

Morgan will travel to the Texas Dirt Track Championship at Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track (Justin, Texas) this Saturday for the $3,500 to win, O'Reilly SUPR Super Late Model event.

Coldwater, Mississippi (03/01/11) – Chris Moore continued his torrid start to the 2011 season over the weekend by claiming his second win in as many events in his #17 Lindsey Motorsports/Shaw By C Moore/FLR Racing Engine Open Wheel Modified at the 14th Annual Bama Bash.

Chris entered the 14th Annual Bama Bash over the weekend at Green Valley Speedway (Glencoe, Alabama). With a $1,000 winner's purse on the line, Moore started the weekend by winning his heat race on Friday night to earn the pole position for Saturday night's finale. He would start alongside Kenny Compton Jr. for the feature, and would initially drop to second at the drop of the green flag. However, just three laps later he would bolt to the lead and would never look back as he claimed his second win of the season! Full results are available at www.GreenValleySpeedway.com .

The team will not be in action again until Friday and Saturday, March 18th-19th at Malden Speedway (Malden, Missouri) with the annual Bootheel 200, which will be sanctioned by the USCS Modified Series.

Fulton, MS (02/23/11) – Two-time defending, NeSmith National Late Model Series Champion, Eric Cooley, will open his 2011 campaign with a tripleheader with the tour at East Bay Raceway Park (Gibsonton, Florida) this weekend, February 24th-26th.

After a successful 2010 season, which saw Eric claim his second straight NeSmith title, the young driver is eager to get another this year's tour underway.

Vicksburg, MS (02/22/11) – Bub McCool recently completed a busy eleven day stretch of Speedweeks action in Georgia and Florida in his#57J McCool Logging/Victory Circle M1 Chassis By Moyer/Jay Dickens Racing Engine Super Late Model and is set to enter the upcoming weekend's 1st Annual Pelican 100 at Ark-La-Tex Speedway (Vivian, Louisiana).

Bub entered ten races in eleven days during the 2011 edition of Speedweeks. After a slow start to the Speedweeks action, McCool picked up momentum in the last half of the events as he recorded several strong runs and even flirted with victory lane on a few occasions.

February 3rd, 2011 - Bub entered the $10,000 to win, 1st Annual Winter Freeze at Screven Motor Speedway (Sylvania, Georgia) on Thursday night. The event drew 32 Super Late Models and via time trials he started fourth in his heat race. He would go on to advance to a third place finish in the heat to lock into the feature. However, before the feature could be run heavy rains set in nixing the program.

February 5th, 2011 - After seeing Friday's Super Bowl of Racing event at Golden Isles Speedway backed up to Saturday due to wet conditions and rain, the double header for Saturday was also nixed due to rain. Bub and the team have headed south to Florida looking for better winner.

February 8th, 2011 - After seeing Monday night's opener at East Bay nixed by rain, Bub entered the official opener for Speedweeks 2011 on Tuesday night with a $5,000 to win event. Sixty-four Super Late Models entered the event, and the night started well as Bub was sixth fastest in his group to earn the outside front row starting spot for the third heat race. However, he would battle the setup in his heat race, and as a result would slip to a fifth place finish. Via his heat finish he started deep in a b-main and would fail to reach a transfer spot to the feature, bringing his night to an early end.

February 9th, 2011 - Wednesday night found another $5,000 to win event held at East Bay Raceway (Tampa, Florida). Another stout field of 62 Super Late Models entered the event, and for the second straight night Bub found himself behind the eight ball as he finished 5th in his heat race, which sent him to a b-main. Early in the b-main, McCool advanced to the third and final transfer position, and would hold the spot for much of the race before a late restart saw Donnie Moran slip by for the final transfer spot, leaving Bub short of transferring to the feature.

February 11th, 2011 - After seeing Thursday's show fall victim to rain, McCool Motorsports entered a double header on Friday at East Bay Raceway Park (Tampa, Florida). In time trials, Bub qualified third fastest to earn the pole for his heat. In the heat he would slip to a third place finish, which earned him the 17th starting spot for the feature event. In the feature, he would mount a run through the pack on a surface where most drivers found passing to be difficult. By the time the checkered flag dropped, Bub was credited with a strong fifth place finish behind race winner, Billy Moyer, Don O'Neal, Scott Bloomquist, and Wendell Wallace.

In the nighttime program, which was headlined by a $10,000 to win event, Bub's luck would not be as good. On a poor racing serious, he would struggle in qualifying and would start deep in his heat race. He would only advance a few spots in heat race action, which sent him to the b-main, where he failed to earn a transfer, bringing his afternoon to an end.

February 12th, 2011 - Bub concluded his East Bay Raceway Park Speedweek venture on Saturday with a double header. The day started with a $10,000 to win event, which drew a field of 58 cars. After starting third in his heat, McCool overcame a battle with early leader, Josh Richards, to claim the win and the sixth starting spot for the main event. In the feature, Bub wouuld battle around the top early in the event before finding a new line through turns one and two that allowed him to begin to advance through the front runners. With ten laps to go Bub began to apply heavy pressure to Eddie Carrier Jr. and Austin Hubbard. A few laps later McCool would race past the duo to claim second, and he would go on to chase race winner, Jimmy Owens, to the checkers.

After the strong morning run, McCool was eager for the night show, which posted a $12,000 winner's share and served as the finale. Sixty-one Super Late Models entered the event, and Bub started third in his heat race. Early in the heat race, Bub would slip back as far as the fourth position before charging past Davey Johnson to claim the third position to earn a transfer spot to the feature. In the main event, Bub started 15th and would spend much of the event around mid-pack before advancing to an 8th place finish to conclude the series on a high note.

February 13th, 2011 - McCool Motorsports made their first ever trip to Ocala Speedway (Ocala, Florida) on Sunday night for an $8,000 to win, UMP sanctioned event. With 36 Super Late Models on hand, Bub started the night by winning his heat race to lock into the second starting spot for the main event. After starting alongside Brad Neat, Bub grabbed the lead at the drop of the green flag. He would lead the first 13 laps before Austin Hubbard and Josh Richards slipped past him. On a very rough track, tires began to become an issue by the race's midway point. Bub would move back to the second spot, but as the field came to the white flag, his right rear tire exploded forcing him to slow to bring out the caution. He would get a fresh tire and would tag the back of the field. He would bounce back to a 7th place finish at the checkered flag.

This weekend, Thursday-Saturday, February 24th-26th, Bub McCool will be in action in the $10,000 to win/$800 to start, 1st Annual Pelican 100 at Ark-La-Tex Speedway (Vivian, Louisiana). With an Open Practice Session on Thursday night, time trials and heat races will be contested on Friday night, with b-mains and the 100 lap finale on Saturday night.

Last Saturday afternoon, Kyle made the last minute decision to enter the Winterfest event at Winchester Speedway (Winchester, Tennessee). Thirty-six Super Late Models entered the $3,000 to win event, and in heat race action, Beard raced his way to a third place finish, which locked him into the 12th starting spot for the feature event. In the feature, Kyle would quickly work his way toward the front of the pack getting as high as the fifth spot in the opening laps. However, a few laps later he would slip into the loose material on the high side of the track causing his right rear to glaze and him to lose several spots. He would slip as far back as 15th before mounting a late race charge back to a solid 11th place finish.

This weekend, February 24th-26th, the team is slated to make its inaugural trip to Gene Boyter's Ark-La-Tex Speedway in Vivian, Louisiana for the 1st Annual Pelican 100.

The rain drizzled throughout the night keeping the dust down and moisture in the track.

Jay started at the back of the first heat and finished 6th. He started 2nd in the second heat and ran 2nd. He went on to win the dash, so in the feature he started 7th.

White came through the procedure fine and is now ready to tackle Florida Speedweeks action. He intends to enter all six events at East Bay Raceway Park, where he made major headlines in 2010 as he qualified for every feature in his first attempt at the daunting task.

In regards to the move, Creel comments, "The people at Mastersbilt have always been great to us, but we just felt that for us that a Bloomquist Chassis would be a better fit.

Steffens Ready to Race After Disappointing Chili Bowl

ST. CHARLES, Mo. – Kyle Steffens went to the 25^th Annual Chili Bowl Nationals in Tulsa, Okla., with high hopes and expectations of racing in the A-Main with the best racers in the world. Mechanical failures and engine gremlins, however, prevented the St. Louis native from achieving those goals.

“The Chili Bowl was a tough one this year,” Steffens said after returning home from Tulsa. “It did not go as planned with a mechanical failure Thursday night. We broke four rockers on our Esslinger power-plant, leaving me at the tail of the C-Main. I battled to the front of the C with some mid-race contact moving me out of the transfer spot.

“Thankfully the Daum Motorsports team worked hard to get me back on the track. Unfortunately, it left me behind the ball all week long. I transferred through three mains, which is still an accomplishment, but not the end result that I was seeking.”

Being a true racer, none of this has deterred Steffens, who is already planning for next year’s winter classic. “This just makes me want to get back into a racecar as soon as possible so I can prove to these open-wheel guys I have what it takes to get the job done,” he said. “I am looking forward to 2011 season and getting further opportunities in the open-wheel cars. With some seat time this year I think that will open some doors for next year’s Chili Bowl.”

While Steffens’ schedule focuses mainly on dirt modifieds and dirt and asphalt late models, he also has plans to run more open-wheel, primarily with the locally-based POWRi midget series. There are also tentative plans for him to run in some of USAC’s shows scheduled for the St. Louis area.

With the Chili Bowl behind him, Steffens is now devoting all his energies to preparing for a busy racing schedule in 2011. “Next I will be running full time for Donnie Charlton Racing in the 22c Team GRT Modified,” he said. “We plan on racing 2 nights a week at select UMP sanctioned tracks along with 10 combined USAC and POWRI Midget shows, and running all of the mile races and big shows.”

The Quiet One- Jeff Curl

Writers Note: I have been doing this writing thing for nine years now. Yet I have never had an interview like this one. When Jeff Curl said he would do the interview, I was really excited to have a very local guy. Knowing this is a really busy time for drivers and crews, I simply emailed my questions to Jeff, giving him his leisure time to get back to me. When Curl emailed me his answers, well he pretty much did his own article. His answers were very much a sign of a driver confident in his abilities and a person who is very secure and happy with the place he is in his life.

Fairbury is home to one of the oldest tracks in Illinois. It is also home to some of the most talented drivers in the state. Modified driver Jeff Curl just happens to be one of those drivers. According to Curl, being a hometown driver is only an advantage over the guys who are not Fairbury regulars. On any given night at Fairbury, many different drivers can win.

Jeff Curl remembers going to Dairy Queen with his Grandparents as a child and watching the cars pass by toward the pits at the Fairbury American Legion Speedway. By the year 2000, Curl asked another hometown driver, Eric Vaughan if he could help work on his modified. The next few years Curl soaked in all the knowledge he could from Vaughan and Vaughan’s engine builder, Gerry Brandt. Two years later, Vaughan sold Curl his modified and Brandt built an engine. In April 2002, Curl made his racing debut at Farmer City. Four years later, Curl gave his hometown fans at Fairbury a feature win.

The number 12 driver also got a nickname that season. A Pontiac radio show reviewing the weeks racing action, said Curl snuck up on the other competitors after his first feature win. They also said that Curl did a good job staying out of controversy and quietly went about his own business. The name “The Quiet One” came out and it stuck. Anyone who knows Curl, knows he isn’t always quiet and sometimes the Quiet One becomes the Quiet Riot, but “that’s just racing to win” says Curl.

One of Curl’s favorite racing memories is of course his first feature win, June 24^th 2006. Starting outside the front row, Curl battled with another Fairbury favorite, McKay Wenger to take the victory. During Curl’s victory lap, the crowd gave him a standing ovation. That victory photo included his Grandpa, brother Matt Curl, and Gerry Brandt. Another favorite memory came in 2008 also at Fairbury. After coming from 7^th to win, Curl was soaked from a water cooler shower in the pits, race suit and all.

2011 sees some excitement coming for Curl fans. The 12 chassis will now be a Bob Pierce Race car. This season also sees Curl team up with fellow modified driver, Jay Ledford. Curl will be driving his own equipment but they will be sharing information to help both drivers be more successful. Curl has announced his first race this season will be March 25^th at I-55. His Friday nights will be split between Lincoln and Kankakee (if Farmer City does not open) and of course Fairbury on Saturdays. You can also count on seeing the 12 car in 14 of the UMP Modified National races. By the end of the season, Curl hopes to be in the top 50 of UMP points.

For this hometown favorite, racing is not the only reason his hometown cheers for him. Curl has helped coach Prairie Central boys baseball and basketball the past decade. He was a 1996 Prairie Central graduate who played golf, baseball, and basketball all four years of high school. He later played baseball at Quincy University. Curl enjoys giving back to his hometown school.

The late model class sometimes over shadows the modified class. Luckily for us close to Fairbury, we have some really talented drivers in both classes. Jeff Curl is defiantly one of the good guys to watch either at the track or on the sidelines.

The Curl Race party is also coming up on March 5^th at The Walton Centre in Fairbury, Illinois. $10 donation at the door, 12 and younger is free. Longhorn Smokehouse will provide a dinner at 5pm. Auction starts at 7pm, followed by Central Illinois Hottest Country Band, Still Kick’n.

Vicksburg, MS (01/19/11) – Bub McCool opened his 2011 season over the course of the past two weeks in his #57J McCool Logging/Victory Circle M1 Chassis By Moyer/Jay Dickens Racing Engine Super Late Model in the 5th Annual Wild West Shootout at USA Raceway (Tucson, Arizona).

During the course of the six race series in his first ever appearance at the facility McCool amassed one win, five top ten finishes, and only one DNF. Below is a blog-style summary of his performance.

January 8th, 2011 - On Saturday afternoon, Bub opened his 2011 campaign at USA Raceway (Tucson, AZ). The $3,000 to win event drew a talent-laden field of 49 competitors, and in heat race action, Bub put on a driving display as he charged from the seventh starting spot to a second place finish. Via passing points he locked into the redraw for the feature, where he pulled the seventh pill to earn the seventh starting spot for the main event. McCool would earn a few spots early in the event as he flirted with the top five. As the race progressed, Bub mounted a charge through the pack and would find himself as high as the third spot by lap 21. Lap 22 would find McCool making a bid for the second spot, but contact between he and Jeremy Payne would cause Bub to lose ground as he slipped to fourth. Bub would go on to record a fourth place finish at the checkers behind winner, Billy Moyer Jr., Jeremy Payne, and Jimmy Mars.

January 9th, 2011 - McCool Motorsports entered the second leg of the 5th Annual Wild West Shootout on Sunday afternoon at USA Raceway as 52 cars entered the event. For the second straight day, Bub would start deep in his heat race grid after drawing a large number at the pill draw. Despite starting seventh in his heat, he would blast his way to a second place finish at the checkered flag. Via his performance he was the second highest point's earner and for the second straight day earned a spot in the redraw for the feature. However, for the second day in a row he would also draw a large number at the redraw, and as a result started 8th in the feature.

In the 30 lap, $5,000 to win feature, McCool worked around midpack early in the event before methodically beginning to work his way through the field. By lap 25 he was up to fifth on and on a restart on the same lap he rocketed up to fourth. Two laps later on another restart McCool would advance to third and that's where he would cross the finish line behind race winner, Pat Doar, and RC Whitwell.

January 12th, 2011 - After a two day hiatus, action resumed with the Wild West Shootout at USA Raceway in Tucson, Arizona with a $3,000 to win event. With 44 Super Late Models entered the night started turbulently as Bub jumped the cushion in turn three in hot laps resulting in hard contact with the wall. The team would thrash to replace the rearend and right side components of the car as they narrowly made the call for heat race action. In the heat race, on a hammer-down track, passing would be difficult, and McCool would only pass one car as he fell short of locking into the feature. As a result, he ran a b-main event, where he finished second to earn the 18th starting spot for the 30 lap feature. The first lap of the feature would see him narrowly avoid disaster as several cars tangled in front of him, causing him to come to a stop. He would survive the incident with no damage and rejoined the pack. As many drivers struggled to find the groove in the feature, McCool mounted a charge through the pack and would ultimately record a fourth place finish behind race winner, Billy Moyer, RC Whitwell, and Terry Phillips.

January 14th, 2011 - It was back to business for Bub McCool on Friday night in the $3,000 to win event at USA Raceway (Tucson, Arizona). Round #4 of the Wild West Shootout drew a field of 49 Super Late Models and once again Bub drew a large number at the pill draw causing him to start at the back of the heat. He would charge from ninth to fifth in the heat, but fell just short of locking into the top 12 cars, and as a result had to run a b-main, which he won. After winning the b-main, he started 14th in the 30 lap feature. He would maneuver his way to a 10th place finish at the checkered flag for his fourth straight top ten in the series.

January 15th, 2011 - Bub claimed his first win of 2011 on Saturday night at USA Raceway (Tucson, Arizona) as he topped the $3,000 to win, Wild West Shootout event. Forty-seven Super Late Models were on hand for the event, and in heat race action, Bub started seventh and advanced to a third place finish. With the strong heat race performance McCool once again locked into the redraw. In the draw he would receive the eighth starting position for the 30 lap feature. Early in the race, McCool began a march to the front and by lap eight he was already up to the third spot as he and Mike Johnson dueled for second. A lap 13 restart found McCool racing past Johnson to assume control of the second spot as he set his sights on leader, Ronny Lee Hollingsworth. McCool would slowly cut into Hollingsworth's lead over the next several laps, and on the white flag lap McCool would use the low line to catch the leader. The pair would battle side-by-side down the backstretch, and as they exited turn four McCool inched ahead on the low side with Hollingsworth on the outside. Exiting turn four McCool and Hollingsworth would make contact. Hollingsworth would make hard contact with the wall as McCool limped to the finish line as he claimed the win over Billy Moyer, Ray Moore, Jimmy Mars, and Brad Looney.

January 16th, 2011 - McCool Motorsports entered the Bill Cheesebourg Memorial on Sunday evening at USA Raceway (Tucson, Arizona). The $10,000 to win event saw Bub advance from his seventh starting spot to a third place finish, which once again locked him into the redraw. In the redraw he received the sixth starting spot for the 40 lap feature. Bub ran in the top ten for the first half of the event before retiring around the midway point as he lost fuel pressure.

The team will now have a three week break as they prepare for Florida Speedweeks, which will span February 7th-February 19th. The team plans to enter all of the East Bay Raceway events as well as the Ocala Speedway event and tentatively the Volusia Speedway Park events. Stay tuned to www.BubMcCool.com for the latest team news.

Bub and everyone at McCool Motorsports would like to thank all of their sponsors, which include Southern Belle, Henderson Motorsports, McCool Logging, Jay Dickens Racing Engines, Victory Circle M1 Chassis By Moyer, Good Hope Lumber, Boland Performance, New Vision Graphics, & MSRMafia.com.

Northport, Alabama (01/19/11) – Ronny Lee Hollingsworth and Flynn Motorsports opened their 2011 campaign over the course of the past two weeks with the 5th Annual Wild West Shootout at USA Raceway (Tucson, AZ). The six race series would prove to be full of ups and downs for the team.

January 8th, 2011 - Flynn Racing and Ronny Lee Hollingsworth opened the 2011 season on Saturday afternoon at USA Raceway (Tucson, Arizona) in the opening round of the 5th Annual Wild West Shootout. Forty-nine Super Late Models from 17 states and two countries signed in to battle for the $3,000 winner's check. In heat race action, Hollingsworth rocketed to an impressive win from his front row starting spot. Via the win, Hollingsworth locked into the 11th starting spot for the 30 lap feature. In the main event, Ronny Lee began a march to the front of the pack early in the event, and was looking to take third from Brad Looney when the caution flag flew on lap 12. On the ensuing restart, Hollingsworth was shuffled back several spots. Over the remainder of the event, he mounted a great charge through the pack to a solid fifth place finish behind event winner, Billy Moyer Jr., Jeremy Payne, Jimmy Mars, and Bub McCool.

January 9th, 2011 - Ronny Lee celebrated his 26th birthday on Sunday and hoped to do it in fine style by claiming the $5,000 feature win. Fifty-two cars entered the event and the day started well for Hollingsworth, who blasted to the easy win. As a result, he started 12th in the feature. Early in the feature event, Ronny Lee looked to have a strong car but around the halfway point, a brake line would come loose forcing him to retire to a disappointing DNF.

January 12th, 2011 - The team entered the third round of the 5th Annual Wild West Shootout on Wednesday night at USA Raceway (Tucson, Arizona). Forty-four Super Late Models were on hand, and Hollingsworth would race his way into the ninth starting spot in the main event via a second place finish in his heat race. Early in the feature, Hollingsworth would slip back a few spots before earning a few spots late in the race to finish in the 8th position in the $3,000 to win event.

January 14th, 2011 - Flynn Motorsports and Ronny Lee took part in the $3,000 to win, 30 lap event on Friday night, which served as Round #4 of the 5th Annual Wild West Shootout. Hollingsworth started the night by claiming the win in his heat race to lock into the redraw where he received the eighth starting spot. For most of the event he would race around midpack before ultimately scoring an seventh place finish at the checkered flag.

January 15th, 2011 - Saturday night started well for the team in Round #5 of the 5th Annual Wild West Shootout, but the night ended fifty yards from the finish line with a destroyed race car and an extremely frustrated team. Ronny lee Hollingsworth started the day by blasting from the sixth starting spot in his heat to claim the win and locked into the redraw for the feature. In the redraw, Hollingsworth pulled the #1 pill, which gave him the pole for the 30 lap, $3,000 to win feature. As the feature went green, Ronny Lee jumped to a commanding lead, and by the time that the event's lone caution waved on lap 13 he had a full straightaway lead over the field.

On the ensuing restart, he jumped to a six car length lead over Bub McCool and Mike Johnson. As the topside began to go away Hollingsworth would see his lead slowly shrinking and by the time that the top two cars took the white flag Hollingsworth and McCool were nose-to-tail. Exiting turn two the pair raced by side-by-side for the lead. The duo battled for the lead as they exited turn four coming to the checkered flag when they made contact sending Hollingsworth hard into the front stretch wall. He would not make it to the finish line and would end the night very disappointed with a destroyed car. Luckily he would be uninjured

January 16th, 2011 - Flynn Motorsports and Ronny Lee entered the final Wild West Shootout event on Sunday evening at USA Raceway with their backup car. The $10,000 to win, Bill Cheesebourg Memorial drew a field of 49 Super Late Models, and competing in his backup car Hollingsworth fell just short of transferring to the feature from his heat race, and as a result had to start deep in a b-main event. He would rocket through the pack in the b-main to claim a second place finish, which earned him a transfer to the feature. After starting deep in the 24 car field, Hollingsworth would battle around midpack before retiring around the midpoint of the feature.

In regards to the experiences of the week, Hollingsworth comments, "We really had a good car in Arizona, and I have an incredible team behind me. I was obviously very unhappy with the outcome of Saturday night, but more than that I was disappointed to not give Flynn Motorsports that first win. Those guys are unbelievable to me, and right now I'm just focused on getting back on track, and claiming that first win of the year for them. I can't thank them enough for their support of me."

The team is currently having the damaged Mastersbilt repaired and also has a new car being assembled. The next scheduled event for the team is the March 25th-26th Pelican 100 at Ark-La-Tex Speedway (Vivian, Louisiana). Visit www.ArkLaTexSpeedway.com for more information.

STL Native Steffens Ready for Chili Bowl

TULSA, Okla. – Cars are on the track today practicing for the 25^th Annual Chili Bowl Nationals, one of the most prestigious races in the country featuring such stars as NASCAR champion Tony Stewart, NHRA champion Cruz Pedregon, USAC Triple Crown winner JJ Yeley, and five-time event winner Sammy Swindell. Among the 260+ teams competing for the Golden Driller is St. Louis native Kyle Steffens who is making his second attempt to make Saturday night’s 50-lap A-main.

It was here last year where Steffens not only made his Chili Bowl debut, but his debut in an open-wheel midget sprint car. Although he normally drives dirt late models and modifieds and asphalt late models at tracks all over the Midwest, Steffens impressed many in the racing world with his efforts in 2010.

“It is a mix of emotions heading back to the Chili Bowl,” he said Saturday afternoon after arriving in Tulsa. “I feel incredibly lucky to have another opportunity in great equipment. On the other hand it is also stressful getting all of the sponsor obligations together at the last minute, but that is what makes this deal fun. It is a controlled chaos.”

This year, Steffens, 26, is racing for Zach Daum Motorsports, one of the top midget series teams in the Midwest. It is the combination of top-notch equipment and the foundation he built during last year’s Chili Bowl that gives Steffens an injection of confidence this week.

“To be in good company with Zach Daum, and the whole Daum team, gives me a chance to obtain anything with a little bit of luck,” Steffens said. “When you are rolling into a track to compete it is crucial to be in top notch equipment, and have a great crew chief. Daum Motorsports has every bit of this!”

While Steffens, who hopes to run more midget races throughout the 2011 season, knows that only the best of the best have the chance to be one of the 25 drivers to race for the win Saturday, he has high hopes that a combination of luck, ability, experience, and equipment will get him and Zach Daum Motorsports to the A-Main.

“My goals for the 2011 Chili Bowl are as follows: Run top 2 in my heat race, and then have a good run in the qualifier Thursday night to help set me up for Saturdays main event,” he said. “Last year we caught some bad luck, and this year I would really like to capitalize on the knowledge I gained from the 2010 Chili Bowl Midget Nationals.

“I really have to thank everyone that came together to support me in my efforts for the 2011 Chili Bowl. Daum Motorsports, I-44 Speedway, Brennon Willard Motorsports, Blue Ridge Motorsports, Performance Plus, and Engines Overnight. Without these people I would not have the great opportunities I have had.”

For full coverage of the 2011 Chili Bowl Nationals, visit RacinBoys.com for analysis and lap-by-lap commentary. For more information on the Chili Bowl, go to ChiliBowl.com.

Daum is the 2007 POWRi Series Midget Rookie of the Year and is the reigning USAC Midget Series Rookie of the Year and also has an extensive racing background.

On Sunday, December 26th the team returned to action with the PRO Dirt Series at Bunbury Speedway (Bunbury, Western Australia), which was Boxing Night, 2010.
