Bardstown, KY-September 17, 2011- The American Modified Series concluded its 2011 season on Saturday night at Bluegrass Speedway in Bardstown, KY and Bryan Barber of Greensburg, KY would sweep the series championship weekend with another $1,500 payday at the David and Anita Ferrell promoted ½ mile high-banked clay oval.

Barber would claim his second straight series victory aboard his B&B Motorsports/All Star Performance/Dyer’s Top Rods/Bandit Race Cars/Bilstein/Frankland Racing Equipment sponsored #10 Bandit Race Cars, Jay Dickens Race Engines powered machine. The win would be the second with the tour for 2011 and would also catapult Barber to the top of the points heap and would the third-generation racer the 2011 American Modified Series champion.

Benji Lee of Loretto, KY would take runner-up honors in the 30 lap main event, while John Demoss of Bloomington, IN would earn hard charger top honors by finishing third after starting 12th.

Williamsburg, OH-September 16, 2011- The American Modified Series returned to action on Friday evening for the first half of its 2011 championship doubleheader weekend at Moler Raceway Park in Williamsburg, OH and Bryan Barber of Greensburg, KY would drive away from the Kevin and Kim Moler promoted ¼ clay oval with a $1,500 payday and his first series victory of the 2011 race season.

Barber would claim the victory aboard his B&B Motorsports/All Star Performance/Dyer’s Top Rods/Bandit Race Cars/Bilstein/Frankland Racing Equipment sponsored #10 Bandit Race Cars, Jay Dickens Race Engines powered machine.

Joey Kramer of Hanover, IN would finish in the second position in the 30 lap main event, while Michael England of Glasgow, KY would follow-up his win at Moler in July with a third place effort. John Demoss of Bloomington, IN would take fourth place honors, while David McWilliams of Verona, KY would complete the top five. Elliott Despain would head up the remainder of the top ten, followed by Dave Baldwin, Matt Hamilton, Jimmy Lennox, and Ray Branscum. The 30 lap, $1,500 to win race would be slowed by three caution flags and take 21 minutes and 18 seconds to complete.

Joey Kramer would take the lead at the start of the event, with Dave Baldwin, Michael England, Doug Adkins, and Elliott Despain giving chase. Adkins and England would begin to battle and Adkins would draw the first caution of the event when he spun his mount in turn three.

The restart would see only one more circuit again completed, with Barber taking second from England before the caution waved for a spin by Nick Hodges on the frontchute. The restart would see Barber pressure Kramer for the race lead, with the front pair racing side-by-side for the race lead until for the next six trips until Barber would take the race lead on lap 13. Barber would then begin to mow down slower traffic, opening up as much as a full straightaway lead at times while lapping up to the ninth place car before the drop of the checkered flag.

Kramer Claims Cash in American Modified Series Action at Tazewell Speedway

Tazewell, TN-August 26, 2011- The American Modified Series returned to action on Friday evening after about a month layoff with the tour’s first-ever visit to the super high-banked 1/3 mile red clay oval known as Tazewell Speedway in Tazewell, TN and Joey Kramer of Hanover, IN would leave the Gary Hall-promoted facility with his second series win of the season and a $3,000 payday for his efforts.

Kramer’s win would come in the seat of Claudette Kramer owned MasterSbilt Race Car, powered by a Bullock Race Engine. The winning entry carries sponsorship from Hill’s Historic Painting and Restoration, ATVonics, Larry’s Truck Service, Lucas Oil Products, State Farm Insurance, Bright Beginnings Child Care, Lucas Slick Mist, Ground Works Lawn Care and Landscaping, Rocketman Race Bodies, and Indiana Decal Company.

Stanley Donahoo of White Pine, TN would take runner-up honors, while Ed Shamhart of Olney, IL would score a third place effort. Trent Young of Hopkinsville, KY would finish fourth, with John Demoss of Bloomington, IN earning hard-charger honors with his fifth place finish. The remainder of the top ten would be Ken Schrader, Michael England (who would go to the rear of the field after suffering a flat tire on lap 3), Bryan Barber, Don Adams, and Matthew Hopper. The 40 lap, $3,000 to win race would be slowed by nine caution flags and take 45 minutes and eight seconds to complete.

After a four car tangle in turn one at the start of the race that would eliminate Elliott Despain, race action got underway and Stanley Donahoo would take the race lead, while Don Adams and Joey Kramer mixed it up for second, and Bryan Barber and Ricky Arms would battle for fourth. Five more caution periods would slow the action by the halfway mark, but by this point it was a two-car battle for the lead between Donahoo and Kramer, while Barber and Adams continued to duel for third, with Trent Young and Ken Schrader mixing it up for fifth. Kramer would make his move on lap 32 with a slidejob pass of Donahoo in turn four, but Donahoo would regain the race lead before the pair crossed the start/finish line. A lap 34 caution would set up a sprint to the finish and when the green flag waved again, Kramer would follow Donahoo into turn one extremely high, almost hitting the retaining wall and would dive to the bottom of turn two and make what would be the winning pass for the lead in turn three. Third place running Don Adams would spin in turn four on lap 36 to draw the final caution and bunch the field up again, but Kramer would not be touched in the final circuits and would see the checkered first to claim the $3,000 victory.

In preliminary action, Don Adams was the Williams Precision Engines Top Qualifier among 24 entries representing five states at 12.358 seconds. Adams would win Hypercoil Springs heat one, while Joey Kramer won Wiles Driveshafts heat two. Stanley Donahoo would take VP Racing Fuels heat three and Bryan Barber would score the win in Comp Cams heat four.

The next events for the American Modified Series will be on Friday September 16 at Moler Raceway in Williamsburg, OH and Saturday September 17 at Bluegrass Speedway in Bardstown, KY. Both events will pay $1,500 to win.

American Modified Series Drops Sanction of Monster Mod 40 at Lawrenceburg

Glasgow, KY-August 12, 2011- Officials with the American Modified Series and Lawrenceburg Speedway have agreed to drop the sanction of the American Modified Series for the Monster Mod 40 event that is scheduled for Saturday August 13.

Due to a conflict of interest over the eligibility of a particular racer to compete at this event, series officials and track officials could not come to an agreement on this racer’s eligibility to compete, so both the series and track felt it would be in everyone’s best interest for the American Modified Series not to sanction this event. The Monster Mod 40 event will still take place on August 13 and the American Modified Series wishes Lawrenceburg Speedway the best of luck with the event, but the American Modified Series will not sanction the event.

The next scheduled event on the American Modified Series tour will now take place on Friday night August 26 as the open wheel warriors of the American Modified Series bring their brand of UMP DirtCar Modified action to the high banks of the bad fast Tazewell Speedway in Tazewell, TN for the richest to win event of the season for tour, with the winner taking home a top prize of $3,000.

The American Modified Series presents UMP Modified sanctioned dirt track sports entertainment at racing venues throughout Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, and Tennessee.

Bardstown, KY-July 30, 2011- Officials with the American Modified Series and Bluegrass Speedway were forced to postpone the 11th Annual Bluegrass Rumble scheduled for this evening at Bluegrass Speedway in Bardstown, KY due to inclement weather that moved into the area.

The rains would quit for a short time, allowing track officials to begin working the track back into shape, but the rain showers would return and would force track and series officials to postpone the remainder of the program.

The 11th Annual Bluegrass Rumble event has been rescheduled and will now take place on Saturday September 17. The event will be an entire new racing program since the A-Main event had not been set before the inclement weather appeared.

Ryan Thomas Takes American Modified Series Boknecht Trucking 30 at Brownstown Speedway

Brownstown, IN- July 9, 2011- The American Modified Series would complete the Bob Poynter Auto Group Hoosier State Challenge on Saturday evening at Brownstown Speedway in Brownstown, IN and Ryan Thomas of Martinsville, IN would take the victory in the Boknecht Trucking 30 at the historic Jackson County Fairgrounds ¼ mile facility promoted by Tim Keithley. With the victory, Thomas becomes the first repeat winner with the tour in 2011.

Polesitter Chad Kinder would race to the early lead in the Boknecht Trucking 30 and would cruise for the first three laps, with Joey Kramer pulling alongside Kinder on lap 5. A trio of cautions would slow the action between laps 6 and 8, with Kramer actually going to the race lead, only to see the caution flag void the pass. However, Kramer would not be denied and would take the race lead on a lap 8 restart and would maintain a comfortable lead until Ryan Thomas began flexing his muscle and would close right in on Kramer on lap 17. The pair would race hard and side-by-side for the lead, contacting each other exiting turn four on lap 19. But disaster would strike Kramer as he would spin his mount in the center of turns three and four on lap 21 and would not be a factor for the remainder of the race, as he would suffer bent right front suspension parts. After a spin by Derek Groomer and Bryan Barber that was deemed a safety caution and neither car stopped on the track with restarting where they were running, Thomas would cruise through the middle of the race surface over the final 8 laps to pick up his second series win of the season in his Indiana Stone Works/Diamond Race Cars/Allen Race Engines/Troy Truck and Tire/Indiana Decal Company/Integra Shocks sponsored #T9 Diamond Race Car powered by a John Allen Race Engine.

Hard charger of the event Bryan Barber of Greensburg, KY would take runner-up honors, while Chad Kinder of Newton, IL would claim a third place finish.

Mother Nature Wins American Modified Series at Lake Cumberland; Reset for May 28

Burnside, KY- May 7, 2011- The American Modified Series would be set to present its 2011 series opener on Saturday evening with a first-ever visit to the Brandon Hardgrove promoted Lake Cumberland Speedway in Burnside, KY, but Mother Nature had other ideas and forced the postponement of the event.

Time trials were completed and just as the track’s Super Late Model division was finishing up their heats, rain showers began to fall over the grounds making the race surface unsafe for competition and with more rain showers predicted to come in, track and series officials were forced to postpone the event.

This event has been rescheduled for Saturday evening May 28. The event will be a complete new show, starting over, and all drivers will be welcome to compete at this event.

The American Modified Series will now open its season on Friday May 13 at the Mike and Judy Miles promoted Bloomington Speedway in Bloomington, IN, followed by a Saturday May 14 date at the David and Anita Ferrell promoted Bluegrass Speedway in Burnside, KY.

The American Modified Series presents UMP Modified sanctioned dirt track sports entertainment at racing venues throughout Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, and Tennessee.
