ARDMORE, Okla. – Up next for the USMTS National Championship Series is another pair of $4,000-to-win events at two premier dirt ovals in Oklahoma and Texas.

On Friday, May 18, the world’s Best of the Best in open-wheel dirt modified racing invades the new and improved Southern Oklahoma Speedway in Ardmore, Okla., and then on Saturday, May 19, it’s a return to the state-of-the-art Route 66 Motor Speedway in Amarillo, Texas.

Southern Oklahoma Speedway promoter and off-and-on USMTS competitor John Webb is enjoying a successful freshman year at the former Lake Country Speedway. Purchasing the facility from long-time owner Virgil Page around mid-season last year, Webb jumped right in and started making improvements to the facility that was badly needed.

“This track has tons of potential, it just needed somebody to come in, spend some money and time and get it to where it needs to be,” said Webb.

Among the noticeable changes are new infield lights, painted buildings, a new concession stand with a bigger kitchen as well as an inside eating area on the spectator side and remolded bathrooms on both the pits and grandstand area.

Gates for this Friday’s USMTS National Championship Series event open at 5:00 with hot laps at 7:00 and racing action set for 7:30. The track’s weekly divisions of Limited Modifieds and Stock Cars will also be competing.

The Southern Oklahoma Speedway is a semi-banked 3/8-mile clay oval located off of I-35 at exit 29, then 0.7 mile east on US 70, then 1.8 miles south on US 77. For more track information check out their website www.southernoklahomaspeedway.com or call the track (405)-816-4314.

The USMTS Modifieds return to the Route 66 Motor Speedway for the third straight season on Saturday. Rodney Sanders of nearby Happy, Texas, emerged as the winner of the inaugural event in 2012 after a hard-fought battle with Bumper Jones while Kelly Shryock held off Ryan Gustin and Sanders to win last year’s tilt. The 17-year-old facility is a popular racing destination for drivers and fans in the Texas panhandle, with the past two USMTS events playing in front of standing-room only crowds.

The racing surface at Bill Worthen’s speedplant is a generous 75 feet wide in the turns with 20 degrees of banking and 65 feet wide down the straight-aways with 5 degrees of banking. The facility has a seating for 4,000 race fans, plus handicapped parking, stadium lighting, full concessions and several luxurious V.I.P. booths. For the race teams, the pits have concrete pads available with lighting and water.

Pit gates open at 4:30 p.m., grandstands open at 6, hot laps take to the track at 7 and racing is scheduled to begin at 7:30.

The Route 66 Motor Speedway is a 3/8-mile high-banked clay oval located 1.5 miles south of I-40 at Exit 75 on Lakeside Dr. in Amarillo, Texas. For more information, call the track office at 806-383-0375 or 806-335-3478 for race day updates. The track’s website is www.route66motorspeedway.com.

The USMTS National Championship Series currently has 29 events and each will pay at least $4,000 to win with up to 30 cars taking the green flag in every main event. The driver with the best 20 showings during the campaign will earn the title of 2012 USMTS National Champion and pocket a record $30,000 while the runner-up in the final standings will get a cool $20,000.

In the first eight events of 2012, six different drivers have entered the winners circle. Jason Hughes and Johnny Scott each have two wins while Shryock, Terry Phillips, Chris Brown and Mike Sorensen have also drank from the victor’s goblet.

Hughes comes in as the points leader, but his lead over Gustin is a mere eight points while Sanders lurks nearby in third – just three markers in arrears to Gustin. Nine more points back is Shryock, followed by Johnny and Stormy Scott in sixth and seventh, respectively. Chase Junghans, Phillips, Dereck Ramirez and 2007 USMTS National Champion Jason Krohn complete the top 10.

Other drivers expected for both events this weekend include Bryan Rowland, Rick Beebe, Chris Brown, Zack VanderBeek, Austin Siebert, Mike Sorensen, Brandon Davis, Jeremy Payne, Al Hejna, Clyde Dunn Jr., Corey Dripps, Ron Keith, Daniel Hilsabeck, Casey Penn, Tristan Dycus, Randy Timms, Tracy Denby Jr., Shane Hebert and many more.

TWIN FALLS, ID – Horsepower Heaven at Rocky Mountain Raceway included the ASA Pro Trucks as part of the oval track
action. Defending series Champion Jerry Rice did his part making sure the fans got to see an action packed race. Rice started 12^th in the field and made his way to the lead on lap twenty-eight of the forty lap main event. The combination of his main event win, passing points and heat race points propelled Rice into the season point standings lead.

Drew Reitsma had his best Rocky Mountain Raceway finish bringing home second after winning his heat race. Sam Harris had his best finish at Rocky Mountain Raceway coming across the line just three tenths of a second behind Reitsma. Harris had made it as high as second but with a green white checkered finish. Harris chose the outside grove in an attempt to give Rice a run for the win. Rice got the jump on the restart and Reitsma hung with his following him to the line.

Jeff Pohlman was able to hold on for a fourth place finish after spending much of the practice time in the pits with carburetion issues. Johnny Pierre offered up the much needed carburetor allowing Pohlman to race. Pohlman was given a little heat at the drivers meeting and was given a Hot Pink Childs Booster Seat! “Jeff said he was having trouble seeing over the dash and hood last week and that is why he kept hitting the back of Rice, so we decided he needed an official ASA Pro Truck Booster seat” said series director Randy Kerr in the drivers meeting. “I think sometimes you can make a point without making it a huge issue, Jeff asked me after the meeting if he could pass it on if anyone else deserved it. I also noticed he really didn’t use his bumper during the race so, I guess it worked” said Kerr after the event.

Alan Larson rounded out the top five after setting the pace in the second practice session. “We haven’t really worked on the car much, I was building a shop and just didn’t have the time. Dugger came over this week and we lowered the truck like 4 inches. It really turns a lot better now” said Larson after the second practice.

Several driver made their season debut. Kent Jensen brought out the number 11 and had made his way up to the fourth position before contact with Scott Luttmer sent the two to the back of the field with only two laps left in the race. Bo Sharp returned in the teams backup truck after having trouble getting the new body mounted on the primary truck. Sharp was able to set fast time putting him at the rear of the field for the start of the race. Sharp motored the truck to a seventh place finish. Chad Radmall brought the number zero out for the first time in three years. “I’m just a little rusty, when it started going around all I could think was stay on the gas and try to get out of the way” said Radmall after spinning the truck exiting turn four while leading the race.

Rice was presented with a $50 gift certificate to Ultra Cool Brake Fans. Ultra Cool is a proud supporter of the ASA Racing and the ASA Pro Truck Series. Ultra Cool can be found at www.ultracoolbrakefans.com The Ultra Cool move lasted for over twenty laps as Rice slowly and patiently picked off his competition one by one on his way to the front.

The ASA Pro Trucks return to action June 2nd 2012 at Magic Valley Speedway on the third mile oval. The ASA Pro Trucks will be the feature division with a fifty lap main event scheduled.

Fairmont, West Virginia – Jared Hawkins overcame early season adversities and near-misses to claim his first feature triumph behind the wheel of his #37 Bobby Lake Motorsports/Rocket/Custom Race Engine Super Late Model on Saturday night at Roaring Knob Motorsports Complex (Markleysburg, Pennsylvania).

On Friday night Bobby Lake Motorsports and Jared traveled to Elkins Raceway (Elkins, West Virginia) for the facilities’ season opener. With a racey, new surface on the track Hawkins earned the eighth starting spot for the feature event before racing his way to a second place finish behind race winner, Mike Benedum. Overall it was a strong outing for the team. Full results are available at www.ElkinsRaceway.net .

The team traveled to Roaring Knob Motorsports Complex (Markleysburg, Pennsylvania) on Saturday night. The program began with a make-up feature from May 5th’s event that fell victim to rain prior to the main event. Jared rolled off the grid in the fourth position and quickly worked his way to the lead. Once out front he would never look back on his way to the win which came over Tim Senic, Bob Gordon, Matt Cosner, and Scott Rhodes. The victory was Jared’s first of the 2012 campaign!

Due to mechanical issues discovered after the completion of the make-up feature the team would elect to not enter the new program. Full results are available at www.RoaringKnob.com.

“It felt good to finally knock out the first win of the season. Bobby Lake and the team have given me a great car this year, and we’ve been so close to winning, but just haven’t been able to seal the deal. I hated that we couldn’t run the second feature at Roaring Knob because of mechanical issues because I think we can really have a strong year moving forward,” noted Hawkins.

This weekend, May 18th-19th, the team is slated to enter a pair of events in West Virginia. On Friday night another Weekly Racing Series Event at Elkins Raceway (Elkins, West Virginia). On Saturday night the action shifts to Tyler County Speedway (Middlebourne, West Virginia) for the 18th Annual Topless 50. The $4,000-to-win has been twice rescheduled this year due to rain.

TOLEDO, Speedway- – Brandon Kidd, a well-known figure on the DIRTcar Crate Late Model (DCCLM) tour will take a brief hiatus from slinging on the dirt and return to the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards in Sunday’s Menards 200 presented by Federated Car Care at Toledo Speedway.

Late last week, Andy Belmont Racing (ABR) announced that the 20-year old will compete in a minimum of four ARCA Racing Series events beginning with the fifth race on tour Sunday afternoon driving the No. 2 NASCAR Racing Experience Ford Fusion.

Even though the Manlius, New York native has zero experience at the half-mile oval nestled in the backyard of ARCA’s corporate office, Kidd and his crew chief Lee Leslie are relying on the success of a recent test at Toledo Speedway to help the rising phenom score big in his fifth career ARCA start on Sunday afternoon.

“I’m stoked about being back in the ARCA Racing Series and this great opportunity with Andy Belmont Racing,” said Kidd. “I’ve never been or seen Toledo Speedway before the test, but I feel with the number of laps we’ve turned it will be extremely beneficial for us.”

He added, “I enjoy short track racing, three out of four of my prior ARCA starts have come on short tracks. I savor the fact in a challenge of short track racing, where you never know what’s going to happen. Over the years, ABR has shown that they are a fierce threat on the ARCA tour, especially when it comes to short tracks, so I’m anxious to see what we can do on the track.”

In his four previous ARCA starts at Berlin (Mich.) Raceway, Iowa Speedway, Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis and Pocono (Pa.) Raceway respectively, the New Yorker has amassed a best finish of 12th at Berlin in his inaugural debut in 2010. Keen to improve on that finish from nearly two years ago, Kidd knows that patience will be critical to the 200-lap slugfest this weekend.

“We’ve done a lot of testing between Toledo and Caraway (N.C.) Speedway to get me ready for Sunday. It doesn’t matter though how much testing you do — nothing is like the race itself. I have the utmost faith in Lee (Leslie, crew chief) and the guys and we’re going to do everything in our power to bring the No. 2 NASCAR Racing Experience Ford Fusion home with a satisfying finish.”

Kidd added, “I want to thank NASCAR Racing Experience, Myrtle Beach Speedway, Romano Auto Dealerships and Pinnacle Investments for jumping on-board with us this weekend. I hope my good vibes about the race come true.” Andy Belmont, team principal at ABR offered his sentiments on this weekend’s activities. “Brandon’s incredibly upbeat and that’s great music to this entire team. Not only does he have faith in himself, but he is comfortable with all the guys on the team. He hasn’t set any major goals for himself – he just wants to go out there, do the best he can for his sponsors and us
and that’s exactly what we plan to do.”

Following, Toledo, Kidd will return to the tour with ABR at Iowa Speedway (July 13), Lucas Oil Raceway Park at Indianapolis (July 27) and a to-be-determined race. Mikey Kile will be a teammate to Brandon Kidd in the No. 1 ModSpace Ford Fusion giving the field a double-dose of short track racing Andy Belmont Racing style. The Menards 200 presented by Federated Car Care (200 laps / 100 miles) is the fifth of 20 events on the 2012 ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards schedule. The 71st ARCA race at Toledo Speedway is a two-day show.

Practice begins Saturday, May 19 with a forty-five practice session planned from 11:45 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. A final practice is scheduled from 1:00 p.m. – 1:45 p.m. Menards pole qualifying presented by Ansell is set for later in the
day slated to begin at 3:30 p.m. The event will take the green flag Sunday, May 20 shortly after 2:00 p.m. The race will be televised live on SPEED with additional coverage including timing and scoring available through the

Elm City, NC – After a couple of weeks of set backs with track issues then a rain out last week, the fans and drivers piled into County Line Raceway for a night of hot racing action. With 115 cars signed in between the 5 classes, it was
guaranteed that they would not leave disappointed!

The night began with the annual crowning of Ms County Line Raceway. Amy Barba of New Bern, NC was crowned Ms County Line Raceway for the 2012 season. Amy is a junior at New Bern High School and hopes to become a neonatal nurse.

Up first, our Nashville Feed Super Stock 4 class with Eric Hill on the pole and Dakota Whitely outside. Eric Hill would lead the first lap, but would lose control in turn one and spin in front of the field. Dakota Whitley would go around him to avoid only to hit the opening at the turn 4 pit entrance. After taking the D7 in the pits, we were back green with John
Proctor out front. Kevin Sanford would spin out of 4 on lap 6 bringing out the caution. Back green & Proctor was still out front of James Manning, Bill Winstead, Dustin O’Neal & Justin Baier rounding out the top 5. Another caution would come out on lap 6, after taking the green another caution would come out for the J2 in turn 1 when his rear end locked up. Back green, Proctor leading Winstead, O’Neal, Baier and Tyler Vaughn. Turn 4 would see a pretty big wreck involving several cars. Jeffrey Patterson, Eric Hill, would spin sending cars darting all around to avoid.With 10
complete, we would go back green with John Proctor continuing to lead Bill Binstead, Justin Baier, Tyler Vaughn and Brian Medlin. John Proctor would bring home his 2nd win of the season followed by Bill Winstead, Justin Baier, Tyler Vaughn and Glenn Bottoms.

Our second feature, the P.L. Woodard Pure Stock V8 would roll out on the track for their 15 lap feature. Earlier in qualifying, the PSV8 track record would be broken by Gary Whitely with a fast time of 18.823 kicking out the old record Lane Proctor laid down last year. Gary would lead the first lap but a 2 car spin on the back stretch would bring out the caution before the lap was complete setting up a complete restart. Side by side with Phillip Lamm they’d cross the stripe but it would be Lamm leading that lap. Several short cautions would slow the field, and each time we went green Lamm would put a car length distance between him & the second place car of Jason Schlaffer. Coming up on lap 6 with Lamm still out front of Schlaffer, Gary Whitely, Dewayne Whitley & Jerry Williams. Cautions would plague this feature, but Lamm would maintain the top spot & pick up his first win of the 2012 season. Jason Schlaffer would come home 2nd followed by Gary Whitely, Dwayne Whitley & Jerry Williams. A post race inspection deemed the cars of Jason Schlaffer and Dewayne Whitley illegal and therefore were disqualified from the event.

Up next our Rapid Red Racing Supply Thunder & Lightning division with Skeeter Liles & Michael Batten on the front row. A couple of quickie cautions would slow the field, but it was a 9 car pile up in turn 1 would bring out the 3rd caution of the night. With ONE lap in the books, Skeeter Liles leads Michael Batten, Ethan Wilson, Eddie Woodruff and Cy Nelms Jr. Unfortunately we would have to cut this race short due to time constraints. Skeeter Liles would bring home the win followed by Ethan Wilson, Cy Nelms Jr., Mark Boykin, and Mark McDaniels.

Ready for their $350 to win special the ARCO Restoration Pure Stock 4 Cylinder division. The PS4 track record was broken by Michael Webb 18.761 retiring old the record set by Brad Hamm with a 19.093. Again, cautions would plague this feature from the drop of the green, but the worst one of the night would be on lap 2 when David Mattox would flip down the back
stretch. David would exit the car under his own power, but unfortunately his car would go to the pits on a rollback. Back green with Webb out front followed by Hamm, Jeremy Benson, Cody Keith and Thomas Holbrooke. Brad Hamm would challenge teammate Webb but would lose momentum and spin in turn 2. Under green again with Webb still out front of Jeremy Benson, Cody Keith, Thomas Holbrooke and Casey Alford. Holbrooke would bring out the caution when he spun in 4 after passing Keith for 3rd spot. Jeremy Benson would bring out the caution when he spun in 4 ending up on the berm. After being pulled away by the wrecker we would go back for a green, white, checker. Michael Webb lead to to the green, Cody Keith in 2nd, Casey Alford in 3rd, JP Brantley in 4th and Lee Hardie running in 5th. Caution out again for a pile up on the back stretch involving several cars, cars that were running in the top 5. Back green for a last attempt at a green, white, checker and Webb continued to lead taking his 1st win of the 2012 season. He was followed by Casey Alford, Brent Atkinson, Chris Collins and Brian Hill.

Our final feature of the night, the Barnes Equipment Late Models, took to the track out of turn 4 for their 30 lap feature with Travis Hair & Christian Joyner starting on the front row. Travis Hair would lead the first lap followed by Russell Erwin, Christan Joyner, Britches Liles, Ray Tucker rounding out the top 5. Erwin would take a peak at the leader, but couldn’t complete the pass. The first caution would come out for James Batten who would retire to the pits on lap 6. Back green with Hair still out front followed by Erwin, Liles, Joyner & Tucker. Erwin would make the move for the lead on the backstretch getting by Hair and putting distance between the 2. Lap 10 would see the caution come out again for our pole sitter Travis Hair who slowed out of turn 3. Back green with Russell Erwin still out front of Joyner, Liles, Tucker and Steve Blackburn. Through the field we’d see some great battles for position from 6th on back. Lap 15
would see the 3rd caution of the night come out when Carlton Toney would drop fluid around the track in turns 1 & 2 before retreating to the pits.

Back green with Erwin still out front of Joyner, Tucker, Blackburn and Liles. Dustin Mitchell would peak under the L2 of Liles for 5th spot but couldn’t get around him. Back up front, Erwin continued to lead and put a lot of distance between him & 2nd place Joyner. Mitchell would finally get around Liles for 5th spot on lap 19. Liles would start to fall back through the field as several cars would get around him. Trevor Peoples would retreat to the pits briefly as he brought out the caution coming up on 20 complete. With 10 to go, Russell Erwin continues to lead Christian Joyner, Ray Tucker, Steve Blackburn & Dustin Mitchell. Christian Joyner would gain some ground on Erwin briefly but would lose some momentum going down the backstretch. With 5 to go the caution would come out for Randy Lucas who spun out of turn 2. 4th place Steve Blackburn would suffer some left front damage that would render him to the pits under this caution as well. The Sleeper Neal Sykes would get around Daulton Wilson for 5th spot bringing JC Clary with him. With 4 to go, it’s still Russell Erwin leading Christian Joyner, Ray Tucker, Dustin Mitchell and Neal Sykes.Bringing home the win, Russell Erwin followed by Christian Joyner, Ray Tucker, Dustin Mitchell & Neal Sykes.

The BCRA Midgets where back in town this weekend for a surprise appearance at Lakeport Speedway and they made for some high paced action on the track with two local drivers Darrin and Michael Snider both putting on one heck of a show for the locals. After a few in race incidents that left Darrin Snider stalled in turn number two he made some late race charges back to the front of the back throughout the night. At the checkers it was Kevin Morris taking the win followed by Michael Snider and Darrin Snider. The action continued to be exciting in the Jammer division with some new drivers making their way to the track this week, but at the end of the night it saw repeat winners from last weekend of Jason Hunter in the JR. Jammer Division and Wayne Young in the Pro Jammer Division. The Outlaw race was fun to watch for fans of full bodied stock cars, and was halted for a brief caution period that saw a car spin coming out of turn number two.

The action continued and saw last week’s winner Kyle Tellstrom slowing working his way through the field towards the lead. At the checkers it was Tellstrom, Sullivan, and Dutcher. The Rental solution Mini Stocks saw young driver James Stillman return in a new car after taking a hard crash during the last race that he was in and drove it to a respectable 3rd place finish, but the win went to a returning driver in the division Rich Schram Jr. The action was literally too hot for some cars to handle in the modified division. The action was intense at the start of the green flag which saw some early race contact between Kyle Tellstrom and Thomas Wright leaving Wrights Body crunched up from the contact. The action continued with the drivers making their way to the front. The action was halted by a midrace caution that saw the radiator of Steve Taylors car explode coming out of turn number four sending him hard into the front straight wall.

After a lengthy clean up the race resumed and saw Richie Potts jump out to the lead. Potts never looked back to take the checkers over Tellstrom and then Gary Collins. The Bandoleros were back in action this week and saw points leader Cobly Furia make a clean sweep of the nights events taking the Main, Trophy Dash, Fast Time, and the Heat race. At the conclusion of the race the car was impounded for a post-race inspection which did not find anything wrong with the car, so he was congratulated on his good night at the track. Just as everyone thought the action for the night was winding down the Taco Bell Bombers took to the track for their thirty lap main event. The cars raced hard to the green flag and the race was only halted by a few cautions from single car spins throughout the race. Sierra Furia after taking a hard crash the last time at the track was working up through the field making her way to second to be past with a few laps remaining by Mike Collins. At the checkers it was Charlie Collins, Mike Collins and then Furia, but after the car of Charlie Collins failed to come to post race inspection his was disqualified leaving the win to Mike Collins followed by Sierra Furia and then Brian Denton all of which passed post-race inspection.

The action at Lakeport Speedway continues on May 26th and May 27th with the Bully Dog Weekend two day event, with Legends, Extreme Outlaws, Taco Bell Bombers, Jammers, Rental Solution Mini Stocks, and Bandoleros all racing on Saturday. The action continues on Sunday with the Legend Cars, Coors Light Modifieds, Taco Bell Bombers, Jammers and Bandoleros along with the first Robinson Rancheria Resort and Casino Boat Race.

Scorpion Racing Products UMP DirtCar Open-Wheel Modifieds return as do the Top Gun Sprint Cars, Hobby Stocks, 1-800-ASK GARY Thunderstocks, Barfield Law Group Mini Stocks, and Rent-N-Roll Gladiators. Six of the toughest divisions at Bubba Raceway Park will attack the track and run for more of those valuable points and the $1000 prize on Night Of A Thousands!

Kyle Bronson’s winning streak went up in a cloud of smoke. A pretty big cloud too. Bronson holds a 15 point lead over Rich Pratt and hopes to build upon it while Pratt looks to steal some momentum from his strong run in the Late Model and maybe get that first win of 2012 and end the Hammond Motorsports reign. Jim Passino is 3rd and has shown the speed needed to win; a little luck and he could join the list of winners as could 4th place Scott Mooers. Even 5th place Dalton Lanich could break into victory lane as he nearly has the past few weeks. The Scorpion Racing Products Modifieds will be fast and the winner’s list could grow longer.

The very creative Matt Kurtz led 1 lap and added to his win total with a daring pass on Gene Lasker on a restart. Danny Martin, Jr. has done it all now as he flipped his #82 in turn 1; he set a record for quickest driver out of a flipped car proving Martin is fast anywhere. Martin and Kurtz will put on a fantastic race while drivers like Mark Ruel, Jr., Terry Witherspoon, and AJ Maddox look to join them and beat them out for a celebration in victory lane!

Hobby Stock drivers have put on some fantastic shows recently but Rodney Wright has won the last 2. He’ll look to go 3 while points leader Trevor Gamble looks to build upon his 14 point lead over Wright. Brian Shea is giving chase and 56 isn’t too much but the chase begins now and race wins will help him get there quickly. Tim Gay and Mark Maresca, coming off of his 2nd place finish, round out the top 5. A strong field of Hobby Stocks means any one can win and surprises are rare.

The 1-800-ASK GARY Thunderstocks are so competitive that the last 6 races have seen 6 different winners from 6 different teams and a 7th wouldn’t be surprising. Points leader Jonathan Appleby finally got that first trophy after a run that he finally deserved. The 2 car Appleby-Winne Racing Team looks to add to the win list and to the points lead. As he looks to add to his points lead Brian Mullins, winless still, looks to chase which is something he’s been good at; Mullins has passed more cars than any other driver in the division it seems and 2nd in points has been his reward. Jason Gamble and Shane Nichols are 3rd and 4th over 60 points out. They both have wins and could add to their own totals but both have team-mates they’re trying to help win as well. Justin Durbin is 5th but the points don’t tell the whole story; he’s been fast and a win is closer than many might expect. Chad Scranton, the only 3 time winner so far, has found himself a secondary ride as Gamble’s team-mate for Eddie Tillander; Mark Trexler and Eddie Kilbury, Jr. also have wins and could add to their totals at any time.

Barfield Law Group Mini Stock drivers will battle again while Buddy Pope looks to hold onto his points lead. As he rebuilds his #81 Reid Christensen, the Staats family, Nick Kerr, Kyle Kruse, and Shirlene Hammond look to join the action. These 7 have been fast and have shown that anything is possible.

The 4 car battle was worth more than $1000 when Tony LaPorta, Billy Holmes, Reid Christensen, and Brandon Haseleu fought for 8 laps. This time the prize is there and the action will be even closer. LaPorta leads the standings while Steve Johnson and Randy Harless chase. These 3 have won already while 4th place Reid Christensen looks to regain his late 2011 form. Brandon Haseleu is 5th and he’s ready to win on the big stage and it could happen very soon and $1000 would make it a dream for the young Groveland driver.

Pits open at 4 while grandstands open at 5 with racing at 7. For more information on Night Of A Thousands you can check out www.bubbaracewaypark.com or call the Speedway hotline!

Kasson, MN –On a beautiful Mother’s Day, the Dodge County Speedway dropped the green flag on the 2012 race season. B&M Promotions took over the reigns of the historic fairgrounds speedway in March and will continue Sunday night racing in Kasson.

The first feature on the track was the DCS Pure Stocks for a 12-lap affair. Cole Lonergan pretty much dominated this one and led most of the way. Lonergan topped the five-car field and also scored a clean sweep as he won the heat race also.

Eight cars took the green flag for the DCS Hornet main event. Terry Blowers quickly raced to the front and won the 10-lap race rather handily over Gary Stahl and Tanner Chadderdon.

Kevin Vogt and Nick Schwebach led the WISSOTA Street Stock field to the green flag in their 15-lap feature. Mike Blowers quickly challenged Schwebach for second and got there on lap two. Blowers then dove to the low side of Vogt and stole the lead on lap four and brought Schwebach to second.

Blowers would pull away for his third win of the weekend and a clean sweep also. Schwebach was second with Jason Newkirk third, Vogt finished fourth and Nathan Schumacher finished fifth.

Shaun Walski used his pole starting spot to lead the USRA B-Mod feature from the drop of the green flag. Jason Schlangen worked to second and then made the pass of Walski for the lead on lap six. Kylie Kath entered the picture and also passed Walski for second.

Walski again challenged Kath for second and they battled side-by-side on laps 10 and 11. Walski would slip back past, but Schlangen was gone up front. Schlangen cruised to the win with Walski second. Kath was third with Jacob Bleess and Jerry Young in the top five.

Austin Curtin led the entire 12-lap DCS Stock Car feature to take the checkered flag. Jesse Baer would finish second and it was a bizarre end in the race for third. Chris Toot had it but spun on the final lap in turn three. Phil Wernert who was fourth slid and spun to avoid Toot. Both cars stalled, sat there for a few seconds and then both would get them fired back up and they both charged to the finish line. Wernert would edge Toot for the spot and that got the crowd going a bit.

The UMSS Traditional Sprint Cars were on hand tonight also after their event was rained out last Sunday. Six cars were scheduled to start, but Tom Porter’s car dropped out before the green flag. Rob Caho Jr. would take the win and Kevin Bradwell narrowly edged Johnny Parsons III for the second spot. Only three of the six starters finished the 15-lap race.
The WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds were the final event of the evening and thirteen cars were on the speedway for the 18-lap race. Right off the bat, Cody Gardner charged from sixth, split front row starters Harland Morehart and Bobby Saterdalen and stormed to the lead.

Gardner was unstoppable from there and crossed the finish line first. Tony Schill passed both Saterdalen and Jason Born to finish second. Born would wind up third with Saterdalen fourth and Darryl Hainka fifth.

The Hall of Fame night that was scheduled for next Sunday, May 20 has been postponed to later in the year. Stay tuned for more details on that as they become available. Racing resumes next Sunday with racing getting underway at 5:00 p.m.

KENNEDALE, Texas- It took just two races for Johnny Scott to find a groove with his new team, and it paid off with a $4,000 paycheck after the 22-year-old from Las Cruces, N.M., found the winners circle at the Cowtown Speedway Saturday night.

A huge audience watched 58 USMTS Modifieds slug it out on fast, high-banked quarter-mile clay oval in Kennedale, Texas, and fans had even more to cheer about as several of their hometown favorites threatened to take home the trophy.

From the outside of the front row, USRA Modified track points leader Troy Taylor of Dallas beat polesitter Stormy Scott to the punch and took control of the 40-lap main event.

Taylor set the pace through two caution flags during the first seven laps, including one on lap 7 that saw Stormy Scott’s night end, but the night’s third caution belonged to Taylor as a broken axle ended his run for a USMTS National Championship Series triumph.

Mansfield’s Sean Jones inherited the lead on the restart but his turn at the helm lasted just a single lap before Jason Hughes roared past to grab the top spot just before the race’s fourth yellow flag waved.

Hughes’ tenure as the leader lasted just two orbits around the track as Johnny Scott powered into the lead on lap 10 after starting ninth on the 30-car starting grid.

From there, Scott set a torrid pace as he danced in and out of lapped traffic but Tristan Dycus of nearby Midlothian began to run down the leader as the laps clicked off.

With four laps to go, Dycus brought the crowd to their collective feet as he made his move around Scott. However, a two-car tangle in turn 1 brought out the fifth and final caution on lap 37 with Scott holding down the point for the restart.

The anticipated shoot-out over the final three laps never materialized as Scott ran away from the pack and crossed the finish line for his 11th career USMTS win ahead of Dycus, who turned in his career-best USMTS finish in second.

Dycus, who started 19th, also pocketed the Mesilla Valley Transportation Hard Charger Award.

Hughes recorded a third-place finish while Zack VanderBeek came home in fourth ahead of nine-time USMTS National Champion Kelly Shryock, who started 22nd.

Chase Junghans, Clyde Dunn Jr., Tracy Denby Jr., Colby Smith and Rodney Sanders rounded out the top-10 finishers.

Defending USMTS National Champion and Cowtown Speedway race winner Ryan Gustin struggled throughout the night, using a provisional get into the Swan Energy “A” Main only to be sidelined just three laps into the contest.

Gustin woes dropped him to second in the USMTS National Championship Series points standings as Hughes regained the top ranking he held after the season opener in February. His lead over Gustin is a mere eight points while Sanders lurks in third, just three markers in arrears to Gustin.

Nine more points back is Shryock, followed by Johnny and Stormy Scott in sixth and seventh, respectively. Junghans, Terry Phillips, Dereck Ramirez and Jason Krohn complete the top 10.

Up next is another pair of $4,000-to-win USMTS National Championship Series events.

There are a lot of new things at Three Lakes TNT Speedway this season. New operators, new lighting, new clay, new paint and more. But as the curtain rose on the 2012 season, the old adage “the more things change, the more they stay the same” rang true.Two former track champions, Jason Zdroik and Jordan Kurtti found victory lane in the WISSOTA AMSOIL Dirt Track
Series classes, while a former track championship winning car found the winners’ circle in the TNT Pure Stocks. Brit Bromann of Rhinelander, driving the Bill Slizewski-owned No. 21, edged out former track champ John Johnson, Sr. in the
closest finish of the night. Gleason’s Kasey Gross and Birnamwood’s Sean Thayer were the winners in the TNT Stingers and TNT Trucks, respectively.The luck of the draw put Zdroik, from Eagle River, in the eighth starting position in the WADTS Midwest Modified feature, but it did not take long for him to work his way toward the front.

Tomahawk’s C.J. Hedges, Jr. passed polesitter Terry Stebbeds, from Clearwater Lake, for the lead on lap three. Meanwhile Zdroik quickly made his way to fourth. Zdroik made a move for third on lap eight and got to close in on the leaders when a caution for a spin involving Dan Melton brought out the caution on lap nine.Zdroik, starting on outside the second row in the Delaware-style double file restart, rocketed past Stebbeds and Hedges for the lead and was unchallenged the remainder of the race. Rhinelander’s Dennis Mikkelson worked his way to second in the waning laps, but was force to retire with two laps to go after contact peeled away the sheet metal on the driver’s side of his automobile. Tomahawk’s Travis Friske inherited second and finished there. Joe Kin of Greenland, Mich., Cory Dickman of Bruce Crossing, Mich. and Hedges rounded out the top five.

After spending some of his offseason in Texas, Kurtti, the defending track champ in the WADTS Street Stocks put a Lone Star state-sized beating on the field Saturday night. The Bruce Crossing driver grabbed the lead from the outside pole and led all 25 laps of the main event. He was nearly a half-lap ahead of second place driver Kevin Maulson, Jr. of Lac du Flambeau when the yellow flag flew for a Ron Van Dusen spin. On the restart, Kurtti pulled away from the field again. Eagle River’s Jason Jensen passed Maulson for second on lap 14 and held off Maulson for the position over the final 11 laps. Argonne’s Jeff Mullins scored his career best finish in the Street Stocks, taking fourth. Rhinelander’s
Dave Williams was fifth.Nineteen Pure Stocks showed up for the Three Lakes TNT opener, making it the biggest show of the evening. Hiles’ Mike Bukovic took the lead from the outside pole and held the lead until lap eight when the caution came
out as Tim Miller lost a tire in turn three. As the field was slowing for the caution, Bukovic was tagged from behind, spun and had to go to the pits for repairs.

That handed the lead to Bromann, but it was short lived as Johnson, from Lac du Flambeau took the top spot on lap 10 and Nick Visser, of Elcho, worked his way to second on lap 14. Johnson, Visser, Bromann and Rhinelander’s Dan Schultz were locked in a four-way battle for the lead until lap 19 when Bromann and Visser made contact in turn two, sending Visser around. Visser straightened his car to avoid bringing out the caution. Meanwhile Bromann got a tap from Schultz in turn three, sending him around, setting up a green-white-checkered finish. Johnson pulled out to a lead, but Bromann, who was restored to second place under the caution, stalked. He made his move on the white flag lap, moving to the inside of Johnson in turns one and two. Bromann pulled even down the back stretch and the two went side-by-side into turn three.

The two were still door to door off the final corner and Bromann narrowly won the drag race to the line. Miller recovered from his loose wheel to finish third. Rhinelander’s Tyler Lundberg was fourth and Ron Reese, from Eagle River, took fifth.Gross passed Tomahawk’s Adam Johnson for the lead on lap nine of the Stinger feature. While Johnson stayed within shouting distance the last six laps, he couldnot pass Gross’ No. 19. Tomahawk’s Rory Radtke, Norway, Mich.’s Eric LaFreniere and Merrill’s Zach Degner rounded out the top five.Thayer was unchallenged in the 15-lap Truck main event. Birnamwood’s Forrest Crandall, Wausau’s Dustin Kohn, Birnamwood’s Erik Kessen and Gleason’s Larry Roper, Jr. rounded out the field.All five classes of automobiles will return to Three Lakes TNT Speedway next Saturday night at this year’s new, earlier, start time.
