Third, third, third, first: Point leader Harris finds top Deery success at Farley

admin — Wed, 22 May 2013 23:39:36 +0000

FARLEY, Iowa (May 21) – The fourth time was a charm Tuesday night for Brian Harris.

After finishing third in each of the first three Deery Brothers Summer Series events of the season, Harris led the last half of a 50-lap feature for IMCA Late Models at Farley Speedway that ran green to checkered.

The win, the career sixth for Harris, paid $3,000 to the tour point leader. Justin Kay and Nick Marolf swapped the lead throughout the first half of the race and ran side-by-side for much of the late going before Kay got the edge for second.

Hard charger Jeff Aikey moved up 11 positions from his spot on the original grid for fourth. Joel Callahan completed the top five.

Curt Martin drew the pole and led the opening circuit before giving way to the third-starting Marolf. Kay began his initial stint at the point on lap nine, was briefly out of first on lap 14, then kept a tenuous lead until lap 24.

Harris entered the fray at that point, taking over up front on the 25^th circuit. He’d run three wide with Kay and Marolf and use multiple lines to negotiate lapped traffic before pulling out to a five car-length margin of victory.

Ray Guss Jr. brought a streak of two straight wins to Farley and finished ninth. Winner of the $250 Sunoco Race Fuels feature qualifier drawing was Callahan.

The fifth of 18 dates on the 2013 Deery schedule is the traditional Memorial Day show at Boone Speedway on Monday, May 27.

Pit gates and the grandstand open at 2 p.m., hot laps are at 4 p.m. and racing starts at 5 p.m. IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars, IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks, Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMods and mod lites are also on the holiday program.

Hughes takes home USMTS hardware at West Plains Motor Speedway

WEST PLAINS, Mo. (May 18) – Jason Hughes notched his first win of the 2013 campaign Saturday night as the USMTS Casey’s Cup Series invaded the West Plains Motor Speedway.

Once this season the 2010 USMTS national champion has been on his way to victory when a mechanical failure sidelined him late in the race, and on another occasion he actually made it to victory lane—big trophy, flash bulbs, big winner’s check and all—but was disqualified when it was discovered that his team had forgotten to swap chips during an engine change earlier in the day.

Saturday night, however, the 38-year-old chassis builder from Watts, Okla., left nothing to chance and left West Plains, Mo., with the accolades and the $4,000 top prize.

Starting on the pole, Hughes got beat to the first corner by Jeremy Payne and followed him for the first nine laps before making his move.

Once out front, Hughes was flawless as he maneuvered around the legendary red clay oval and beat Payne to the finish line with two-tenths of a second to spare.

It was the 112th career USMTS win for Hughes and his first since Aug. 1, 2012. Only Kelly Shryock and his 178 victories top Hughes on the USMTS all-time win list. Shryock won the USMTS debut at West Plains last year.

While Hughes and Payne stayed up front the entire race, the third- and fourth-place finishers had to claw their way to the top.

Coming out of the Real Racing Wheels “B” Mains, Rodney Sanders and Ryan Gustin started deep in the field but found a way to claim a pair of tip-5 finishes. Sanders passed 10 cars en route to a third-place finish while Gustin passed 13 drivers to earn the Mesilla Valley Transportation Hard Charger Award and a fourth-place paycheck.

Shryock, who started 11th, finished in the fifth spot while Dallas Everett, Dereck Ramirez, Rick Beebe, Logan Martin and Austin Siebert completed the top 10.

With his runner-up finish, Payne remains the points leader in the Arbor Masters Central Region presented by Day Motor Sports while Hughes jumped into second. Stormy Scott is third, Johnny Scott fell to fourth and Shryock is fifth.

Four big USMTS Casey’s Cup Series events are on tap for Memorial Day Weekend to close the month of May. All four events will award points in the Farm Boy BBQ Sauce Northern Region presented by Day Motor Sports with a possible $17,000 to win during the 100-hour stretch.

The swing kicks off on Wednesday, May 22, at the I-35 Speedway in Mason City, Iowa, and then moves to the Fairmont (Minn.) Raceway on Thursday, May 23. On Friday, May 24, the mighty USMTS Modifieds will be circling the Chateau Raceway in Lansing, Minn., and the fourth and final night happens Saturday, May 25, at the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn.

Smith strongest in Iron Man Challenge clash at LA Raceway

admin — Sun, 19 May 2013 12:42:09 +0000

LA MONTE, Mo. (May 17) – Brad Smith of Belton, Mo., started on the pole of the USRA B-Mod feature and never looked back as he claimed the Iron Man Challenge checkers Friday night at the LA Raceway.

The win was worth $500 to Smith as he held off fellow Show-Me State speedsters Shawn Strong and Jacob Ebert for the win.

Steve Goodman finished fourth ahead of last year’s points runner-up Jared Timmerman. Chad Staus, Dakota Foster, Billy Bentley, Dean Wille and Adam Belt competed the top 10 finishers.

With his fourth top-10 finish in five starts, Goodman took over the top spot in the Iron Man Challenge USRA B-Mod points standings and sits just two markers ahead of Strong. Cory Crapser, Timmerman and Ebert complete the top 5 in the rankings.

The next Iron Man Challenge event is next Thursday, May 23, and will feature both the USRA Stock Cars and USRA B-Mods together for the first time this season. Both classes will be in action again Saturday, May 25, at the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn., and both blockbuster events next week will also feature the mighty USMTS Modifieds.

Payne shows the way at LA Raceway

admin — Sun, 19 May 2013 12:41:06 +0000

LA MONTE, Mo. (May 17) – Jeremy Payne took the lead from Zack VanderBeek on lap 8 and never looked back as he raced to victory in the 40-lap main event Friday night during the 7th Annual Schwab’s Tinker Shop Show-Me Shootout at the LA Raceway.

It was the 13th career USMTS triumph for the 27-year-old from Springfield, Mo., who has three of his wins at Mike & Carol White’s 3/8-mile clay oval in La Monte, Mo.

The win was worth $4,000 and propelled Payne into the points lead of the Arbor Masters Central Region presented by Day Motor Sports.

Johnny Scott came into the event as the region’s points leader and the hottest driver in the USMTS Casey’s Cup Series, but struggled throughout the night and was credited with last place in the “A” Main after using a provisional to get in.

Two-time defending USMTS national champion Ryan Gustin got by Vanderbeek on lap 16 but never had enough muscle to run down Payne for the top spot and had to settle for the runner-up paycheck with VanderBeek close behind in third.

Nine-time USMTS national champion Kelly Shryock came from 13th on the starting grid to finish fourth and earned the Mesilla Valley Transportation Hard Charger Award in the process.

Rodney Sanders rounded out the top 5 finishers while Dustin Boney, Stormy Scott, Jason Hughes, Chris Brown and Rick Beebe wound up sixth through tenth, respectively.

Saturday, May 18, will find the stars and cars of the United States Modified Touring Series at the historic West Plains Motor Speedway.

Mother Nature thwarted the series debut here in 2011, but fans finally got their due last spring and witnessed Shryock take down his 177th career USMTS triumph.

The West Plains Motor Speedway is a 100-acre motorsports facility with an exciting 3/8-mile red clay oval surrounded by seating that will accommodate more than 12,000 fans. Fans can enjoy the action from their choice of molded contour seating, ground level bleachers or high-rise stadium style seating.

On-site camping is available free of charge with clean restrooms, showers, water fill and a dump station for motor homes. Full service food and souvenir concessions are conveniently located within the facility along with acres of free parking.

Gates open Saturday evening at 5:00 with hot laps at 7:00 and racing at 7:30. Also in action will be USRA B-Mods, Hobby Stocks, Super Stocks and Crate Late Models.

On race day, fans can pick up a coupon good for $2 off adult grandstand admission at Casey’s General Stores locations in West Plains.

The West Plains Motor Speedway is located 6 miles south of West Plains on US 63. For more information, call the track office at 417-522-9891 or 417-257-2112 on race day. The track’s website can be found at www.westplainsdirt.com.

Chris Bell wins 1st in POWRi Midgets, Miller takes Micros at Belle-Clair

admin — Sat, 18 May 2013 11:04:09 +0000

BELLEVILLE, Ill. (May 17, 2013)—Chris Bell finished less than a car length over Nick Knepper to win his first feature in the POWRi Lucas Oil National Midget Series and Joe B. Miller drove to victory in the POWRi Speedway Motors 600cc Outlaw Micro Series on Friday at Belle-Clair Speedway.

Knepper of Belleville, Ill., drove deep on the inside into turn three to briefly put the nose on his Essingler-powered Spike ahead, but Bell turned his Toyota-powered Bullet underneath in turn four and beat him to the checkered flag on the one-fifth mile track.

“He surprised me,” Bell said. “I didn’t know he was that close. I was lucky to see him early enough and take the cushion and drive across him.”

Bell’s victory for Keith Kunz Motorsports came in his 20^th POWRi start. It was his first in a Midget in any series.

“It was a long time coming,” the 18-year-old from Norman, Okla., said. “Keith and the team gave me an awesome car and I’m definitely really fortunate to be driving for him. When you drive for Keith, you have the best of the best.”

Bell was hired in January for the Toyota-backed No. 71 car, one of the best seats in

Midget racing. He had driven in 11 races in the POWRi series a year ago before accepting an offer to race winged Sprint cars in the second half of the season.

“We watched him run in the POWRi stuff and there something about him we liked,” Kumz said.

Bell, on the inside, and Knepper started on the front row for the 30-lap feature. Knepper jumped into the lead and held it through three restarts. On the 14^th lap, Bell passed him for the lead in turn four, sliding around him and then getting the power down to narrowly go ahead.

“He was running the top and I was on the bottom for a couple of laps after the (third) restart,” Bell said. “I had my best lap on the bottom in turns one and two and I think he made a mistake and I got around him.”

“I did make a mistake on top,” the 26-year-old Knepper said. “Our cars were pretty even and it came down to who was in front. I made a last ditch effort to pass him on the final lap and came close. I thought it would catch him off guard and I guess it did, but he countered it pretty well and it came down to the (finish) line.”

Zach Daum of Pocahontas, Ill., finished third in his Toyota-powered Eagle driving for his family team. Andrew Felker of Carl Junction, Mo., the 2012 POWRi National Midget champion, climbed to fourth after starting 23^rd and last, taking a provisional to get into the feature. Tyler Robbins of Collinsville, Ill., was fifth.

Miller of Millersville, Mo. passed Nathan Benson of Concordia, Mo., for the lead with three laps to go in the 20-lap Micro feature. It was the seventh win of his POWRi career for the 2012 series champion.

“I started eighth and kept running the top and passed Nathan with a few laps to go,” Miller said. “We finished second in the (season opener) at Jacksonville (Ill.) and it’s good to get a win early in the season.”

Aaron Andruskevitch of Riverton, Ill., finished second, Jeremy Camp of Blue Mound, Ill, was third, Benson fourth and Felker fifth.

The POWRi Midgets and Micros race tonight at Macon (Ill.) Speedway.

Harris, Guss take Deery streaks to Farley for May 21 show

admin — Sat, 18 May 2013 00:07:35 +0000

FARLEY, Iowa (May 17) – Brian Harris and Ray Guss Jr. both take streaks into the Tuesday, May 21 Deery Brothers Summer Series event at Farley Speedway.

Harris, from Davenport, continues to lead the IMCA Late Model tour point standings, now on the strength of third-place finishes in each of the first three series events.

Guss, meanwhile, has bounced back strong from a tough opening night DNQ. The two-time series champion from Milan, Ill., has won the last two Deery events, at Quad City Speedway and at Dubuque Speedway.

Rescheduled from April 20 because of inclement weather, the Deery event at Farley pays $3,000 to win and a minimum of $300 to start.

Pit gates open at 4:30 p.m. and the grandstand opens at 5:30 p.m. Hot laps are at 6:30 p.m. with racing to follow. IMCA Xtreme Motor Sports Modifieds are also on the midweek card.

Grandstand admission is $16 for adults, $14 for seniors, $10 for students and free for kids 12 and under when accompanying a paid adult. Pit passes are $30.

Guss now has 29 career series victories to his credit and also won back-to-back Deery features in 2012, 2010, 2009 and 1996.

The consecutive wins record is four, set by Gary Webb of Blue Grass in 1994 and equaled by Rob Toland of Colona, Ill., in 2004.

Round five of the series is at Boone Speedway on Memorial Day Monday, May 27. The tour returns to Farley during the Yankee Dirt Track Classic Sept. 13 and 14.

Hawkeye Dirt Tour date at Clay County weathered out

SPENCER, Iowa (May 16) – Looming thunder storms and forecasts for winds in excess of 50 miles an hour have resulted in cancellation of this evening’s Karl Performance Hawkeye Dirt Tour event at Clay County Fairgrounds Speedway.

The IMCA Xtreme Motor Sports Modified series was to have made its first-ever appearance at Spencer on Thursday. With rain in the forecast, officials opted to pull the plug instead of waiting until more race teams arrived at the track.

IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars, IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks and Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMods were also on the Clay County card. No reschedule date has been announced.

“It’s unfortunate we couldn’t get this race in,” IMCA Vice President of Operations Brett Root said. “Several Modified drivers were already in Spencer and we anticipated large numbers of entries in all divisions.”

Next date for the Hawkeye Dirt Tour is the Monday, May 27 Memorial Day show at I-35 Speedway in Mason City. Gates open at 4 p.m. and the grandstand opens at 5 p.m. Hot laps are at 6 p.m. with racing to follow.

The Modified main event pays $1,000 to win and is a qualifier for the 2013 Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational ballot.
