SPEEDSTR NEWS: TOBIAS CAPTURES SPEEDSTR NIGHT 1 OF ALL-STAR WEEKEND AT CAYUGA COUNTY ..

TOBIAS CAPTURES SPEEDSTR NIGHT 1 OF ALL-STAR WEEKEND AT CAYUGA COUNTY ..

 

 

Myerstown PA, July 16th, 2010:  22 SpeedSTR's signed in to compete at the Cayuga County Speedway All-star Weekend event in Weedsport, NY.

 

North East point leader Mario Page (Hillsborough, NJ) and RevStar Co-Owner Carl Labonte (Drummondville, Qc, Canada), who set fast time during qualifying, lead the historic field of 22 STR's to the green flag on the opening night of All-star Weekend in conjunction with the DIRT Modifieds. Page and Labonte put on a hair raising wheel to wheel battle during the opening laps with Kyle Hieber (Langhorne, PA) lurking in the tracks of the two leaders, while the Kiwi Farms 33 of Doug Sherwood (Piscataway, NJ) and the 2 of Richie Tobias (Hershey, PA) were charging towards the front. The top 5 was heated with Tobias racing above the cushion, Sherwood down on the hub, and Page, Hieber, and Labonte searching the cushion.

 

At the midway point of the race Tobias and Page had swapped the lead and a little paint several times. On lap 11 Tobias secured the point as the 33 of Sherwood continued to work the bottom. Lap 13 would see Sherwood scoot by the point leader of Page. Page would battle back lap after lap on the high side only to have Sherwood pull in front off each corner. Now enter Yannick Poirier (Beloeil, Qc, Canada) and Chris Stockham (Cicero, NY) in the Valvoline #3 into the battle for the top 5. Hieber and Labonte who ran solidly up front all race long had the duo charging from behind.

 

Tobias would take the victory with Sherwood edging out Page for second followed by Hieber, and Poirier. Tobias exclaimed in victory lane how excited he was not only to win the race but how exciting it was to have 22 STR's participate in this great event. "We have worked hard to build this series and I am so proud of everyone that has decided this is the car for them. This is a win for everyone tonight."

 

STR Notes:

National Point Leader Gabriel Richer (Les Coteaux, Qc, Canada) had a rough night getting upside down early in the event. The Richer crew worked through out the night to get ready for night 2 of competition. Kaitie McCardle secured yet another great run, finishing in the top 10.

Myerstown PA, July 17th, 2010:  Saturday evening would feature the second night of All-Star Weekend at the Cayuga County Fair Speedway and RevStar Co-Owner Carl Labonte was geared up for competition.

 

Doug Sherwood (Piscataway, NJ) who was coming off a strong runner up finish in Friday evenings preliminary All Star event continued his strong presence by winning dash #1 which would give him the pole position for the feature event with Carl Labonte (Drummondville, Qc, Canada) lining up outside front row. Labonte wasted no time getting to the lead as Sherwood would have to fight off the challenges of  Mike Mahaney a Cayuga County Modified  regular and Yannick Poirier (Beloeil, Qc, Canada). Meanwhile National and Regional point leader Mario Page (Hillsborough, NJ) was picking off STR's high and low as he was clawing his way to the front on the black slick surface.

 

By the midway point of the race Labonte was continuing to make flawless laps along the inside jersey barrier as Page had raced his way to third with Sherwood just in front. The duo would battle lap after lap. Sherwood working the bottom and Page looking for grip up top. While a great battle for the top five was brewing between Mahaney, Poirier, Chris Stockham (Cicero, NY) in the Valvoline #3, Richie Tobias (Hershey, PA), and  Kyle Hieber (Langhorne, PA) .

 

With the laps winding down Page went to the high side of Sherwood in turn one, but Sherwood would slide up the track and close the door as they went down into three, Page again went high and this time would diamond off Sherwood and attacked the bottom going into one. As Page took the preferred line of  Sherwood, the two would make contact causing the Kiwi Farms 33 to collect the previous nights winner Richie Tobias Jr. (Hershey, PA). The final restart would see the #24 of Labonte hold off the challenges of Page and Mahaney with Poirier and Stockham rounding out the top five.

Pro All Stars Series news - Thompson PASS North/National Championship round three preview

PASS National Championship Series makes Thompson stop Thursday

NAPLES ME (7/20) The Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North super late models make their annual visit to Thompson (CT)  International Speedway Thursday night for a 75 lap dash for cash  and the addition of a National Championship designation for the event  will add a touch of southern flavor to the field.

 

PASS  promoter Tom Mayberry added the  National Championship  “series within the series”  to the PASS lineup in n 2008 to bring together the top guns from both the PASS North and South series  and Thursday will see PASS South and PASS National point leader Preston Peltier make the trip from  Concord North Carolina  to Thompson for the first time. Peltier has a northern connection for this race as he’ll be sponsored by David “Lowbed” Johnson and Gillis Brothers, Inc., two Massachusetts based companies.  Peltier leads the National standings as well as the PASS South points. Durham North Carolina veteran Jay Fogleman is just four markers back from Peltier in the National standings and he’ll be at Thompson to try and wrestle the point lead from Peltier. Defending National Champion Ben Rowe  is currently third in the standings, PASS North point leader Johnny Clark sits  in fourth and  Saint John New Brunswick Canada’s Lonnie Sommerville is fifth.

All five drivers have filed early entries for the Thompson stop. The race awards PASS North points as well so you can count on seeing the top guns from throughout New England plus a few surprise entries that will take advantage of the Thursday night show to take on the touring pros.

Derek Ramstrom will have his super late model ready to challenge and he has to be considered one of the favorites. At age eighteen he has already racked up a ton of wins and a title at the fast five – eighths, including a win in the 2009 version of this event.  Although Ramstrom has been a regular visitor to Thompson’s victory lane this season, his results in PASS North competition have been less than stellar. The Rick Ramstrom led team has a single top ten in four starts, but you can bet they’ll pull out all the stops to turn their PASS season around Thursday night.

The PASS Super Late Models will headline Thompson’s exciting Thursday night show featuring the speedway’s “Super Six” racing divisions. Qualifying goese green Thursday evening July 20 at 6:00 PM sharp. Feature racing will hit the track at 6:45 PM.

The early entry list is posted now at www.proallstarsseries.com . Thompson International Speedway’s web address is www.thompsonspeedway.com .

PR Champagne Motorsports

St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, le 17 juillet 2010

En piste pour 2 courses en 6 jours!

 

L’équipe de course Champagne Motorsports qui prend congé du programme du 17 juillet à l’Autodrome St-Eustache prendra part à deux programmes de course en 6 jours totalisant pas moins de 200 tours! Exceptionnellement, ce mardi 20 juillet, lors de la deuxième phase du Spécial des Vacances à l’Autodrome St-Eustache, les NASCAR Sportsman Ippersiel, NASCAR Sport Compacte et ANCA Challenge 4 prendront part à des finales respectives de 100 tours en 2 segments, 50 tours en 2 segments et 25 tours.

 

Cette semaine, j’ai fait quelques ajustements sur la suspension de la Honda Civic #11. Étant quelque peu sous-vireuse lors du dernier programme le samedi 3 juillet, j’ai ajusté la répartition de poids pour quelle soit optimale. Lors du programme du mardi 20 juillet, les résultats du premier 25 tours dicteront les positions de départ pour le 2e segment. Les 5 premières positions finales du 1er segment seront inversées alors que les pilotes ayant terminé après la 5e position prendront le départ de leur position finale lors du 1er segment.

Le ‘’clou’’ de la semaine, La Classique Sport Compacte qui sera présentée le samedi 24 juillet sera une finale de 150 tours en un unique segment. Le gagnant recevra la somme minimale de 1000$! Il s’agit d’une première au Québec dans la catégorie Sport Compacte, catégorie qui est la plus ‘’populaire’’ quant à son nombre de voitures sous la même règlementation. Au minimum deux pilotes de l’extérieur viendront croiser le fer avec les réguliers de l’Autodrome St-Eustache. J’ai bien hâte de voir comment la voiture va se comporter pendant cette course longue de 60 miles.

Pour les intéressés, j’ai toujours quelques billets à vendre pour La Classique Sport Compacte du samedi 24 juillet! Communiquez avec moi via mon e-mail : jf champagnemotorsports.ca

Pour la prochaine sortie de Pierre-Paul Champagne Jr.1 et son Buick Skylark #11 de l’Association de Stock-Car Vintage du Québec, après la préparation d’un tout nouveau moteur, il sera en piste vendredi 30 juillet lors du spécial Modifié Vintage. Les Vintage feront leur seule présence sur terre battue en marge du 25e anniversaire de l’Autodrome de Granby.

SWEET TIES BEST FINISH IN TD BANK 250

Mechanical failure costs top 5 finish

 

Oxford, ME – Barre, VT’s Nick Sweet tied his best career TD Bank 250 finish of 6th on Sunday’s 37th running of the event at Oxford Plains Speedway.  Sweet started his day drawing the final starting position, 11th in his qualifying heat.  It took Sweet only two laps to race 3-wide up to 5th, and then made it to the fourth and final qualifying position by the end of  the 15 lap heat race to qualify 23rd in the 250.  Sweet knew he had his work cut out for him after he drew his starting position. “I knew at that moment that I need to race hard, and probably have to utilize all of the grooves if I was going to qualify in round one, so I took some chances which paid off.”

 

 Seventy-nine cars attempted to make the 39 car field, including NASCAR Nationwide point leader Brad Keselowski, who took a provisional starting position.  Six time and defending ACT Late Model Tour champion Brian Hoar earned the pole position by winning the first qualifying heat. 

 

Sweet started his surge ahead at the drop of the green flag, quickly racing his way into the top 15 using both inside and outside lanes on the 1/3 mile flat oval.  It wasn’t long however before race leader Brad Leighton of Center Harbor, NH caught up to Sweet, putting him a lap down just after the half-way point.  “We were just settling in a good rhythm at that point,” recalls Sweet. “We weren’t pushing it too hard but making our way up through.” “Brad was just so fast he lapped a lot of cars early.”   Sweet would fight back in the later stages, passing Leighton to get back on the lead lap before the final caution on lap 203.  “It felt really good to be able to race past Leighton to get my lap back, the caution fell at the perfect time so I could stay on the lead lap.”  That final caution was for Leighton himself, who cut a right front tire going into turn four, spinning off the track in turns 1 and 2. 

 

Pole sitter Brian Hoar, who had only taken one new tire on a lap 140 restart when most drivers took 4, pitted during that final caution, replacing his used up 3 Goodyear tires with fresh ones, for a final charge from 5th position.  Sweet restarted inside the top five with less just 47 laps to go, and was in fifth position on lap 249, behind leader Eddie MacDonald, Cory Morgan, Brian Hoar, and Brent Dragon.  After crossing the line under the white flag, the rear end in the #88 broke, sending Sweet spinning off of turn one.  The STJAUTO.COM Pontiac never made it to the line for the checkered flag, and Sweet was credited with 6th position, the first car one lap down. 

 

You could see the disappointment on Sweet’s face.  “This was not the finish we were hoping for, we had such a strong car, I can’t believe we broke on the white flag.”  This ties the team’s best TD Bank 250 finish, which was in his rookie year in 2008. 

 

Mike Loschiavo, one of the owners of the Saint J Auto group understands the disappointment with the finish but was overall impressed with the performance. “The TD Bank 250 is such a tough race to qualify for.  We were happy to see the Saint J Auto car in contention with some of the best drivers in New England.” 

 

Sweet and the Saint J Auto team will change their focus back to their home track, Thunder Road International Speedbowl where they are in a heated championship point battle, trailing point leader David Pembroke by just 22 points with 6 point-counting races remaining this season. The next race is Thursday night.

Pro All Stars Series news - PASS North SLM/Mod Beech Ridge race report

For immediate release: media, contact Norm Desjardins @ (603) 387-5598

 

Rogers rocks PASS regulars at Beech Ridge - Shaw claims PASS Mod win

NAPLES ME (7/18) Beech Ridge  Pro Series racer Bill Rogers  took advantage of a green-white-checker finish to beat Trevor Sanborn  in  Saturday night’s PASS 150 at  Scarborough Maine’s Beech Ridge Motor Speedway . Cassius Clark, Scott Mulkern and Johnny Clark chased Rogers and Sanborn to the checkers.

 

Rogers didn’t luck into the win by any means. The Old Orchard Beach racer was fast throughout the night. He took the lead from Scott Chubbuck on lap five and held the spot until Trevor Sanborn took over on lap thirty nine. At the half-way mark it was Sanborn, Rogers, Chubbuck, Scott Mulkern and Cassius Clark leading the way.

Rodgers took back the top spot on a lap 83 restart and stayed there until Sanborn returned the favor when the field went back to green after a lap 118 caution. It looked like Sanborn was in a position to finally claim a PASS North feature win; Rogers was right on his bumper though and Mulkern, Chubbuck and a resurgent Mike Rowe were all battling for position.  Rowe’s night ended early with a disqualification after Chubbuck went around off of Rowe’s front bumper to bring out another caution at lap 132.

Sanborn was in control on the restart and Cassius Clark briefly held second until Rogers came roaring back two laps later. The night’s final caution set up a green-white-checker finish and Rogers now had the preferred outside groove. Rogers took full advantage of his final shot at Sanborn, motoring around the outside to score a very popular home track victory.

A number of drivers had good runs going, only to see accidents spoil their night. Adam Bates, Dave Oliver and Aaron Ricker all ended their race on the hook after a wreck on lap 116, while Scott Chubbuck ran fourth prior to his contact with Mike Rowe. Chubbuck salvaged a tenth place finish.

Roger’s margin of victory was .304 seconds; fourteen cars completed all 150 green flag laps. Heat race wins went to Adam Bates, Scott Chubbuck and Scott Mulkern.

The PASS Mods were in town for a 40 lap feature and Andy Shaw became the first repeat winner of the 2010 season, capturing a hard fought win over Jon Brill. Wayne Whitten finished third with Alan Wilson fourth.  Mike Mayberry had a successful  Mod series debut, starting thirteenth and finishing fifth.

Shaw started shotgun on the fourteen car field but he was in second by the half way mark, ready to battle Brill for the win. The pair raced nose to tail lap after lap until Shaw powered around Brill on the outside for the lead with seven laps remaining.   

PASS North hosts round three of the 2010 PASS National Championship series on Thursday evening at Thompson (CT) International Speedway on Thursday July 22nd.   The PASS Mods get back on track Saturday July 24 at Canaan (NH) Fair Speedway.

Communiqué de presse

 

« Pour publication immédiate »

 

Présentation spéciale mardi du Spécial Vacances Coupe Journal de Montréal

 

Après les orages, on rêve de beau temps !

 

ST-EUSTACHE – Tout le monde était prêt samedi pour la présentation de la Coupe Sanivac  sur la piste ovale, dans le cadre du programme double Spécial Vacances, à l’autodrome de St-Eustache, mais deux violents orages, le premier en milieu d’après-midi et le second en début de soirée, ont anéanti toutes chances de présenter un programme régulier dans des conditions acceptables… ce qui a déclenché une « mini-tornade » de mécontentement chez des amateurs et des compétiteurs.

 

« Oui, nous avons eu de belles périodes ensoleillées, entre, et après les orages permettant de croire qu’il y aurait pu avoir des courses samedi soir, explique le promoteur/propriétaire Alan Labrosse, victime de critiques acerbes après l’annulation de ce programme attendu de tous.

 

« Mais la réalité, il a fallu un travail gigantesque pendant de nombreuses heures de la part de tous nos employés dans la soirée de samedi, puis dans la nuit, pour ramasser et réparer tous les dommages causés par la micro-tornade. C’était absolument impossible de pouvoir présenter des courses dans un environnement sécuritaire pour nos compétiteurs et nos spectateurs en raison des lourds dégâts causés par cette micro-tornade.

 

« D'ailleurs, nous pouvons voir des photos très éloquentes de la situation après les orages sur notre site Internet (http://www.autodrome.ca/). Nous sommes autant, si non plus, désolé que les amateurs de ne pouvoir présenter nos courses prévues à l’horaire. Ce n’est jamais une partie de plaisir de prendre de telles décisions, mais il faut penser en fonction de la sécurité de tous.»

 

Depuis le début de la saison pour le stock-car à l’autodrome de St-Eustache, la température n’a pas collaboré souvent. Cela provoque de la frustration pour de nombreux amateurs et compétiteurs, mais c’est une situation ne pouvant pas être contrôlée par les promoteurs.

 

Un programme de remplacement

 

Cela explique pourquoi la direction de l’autodrome de St-Eustache a pris la décision de présenter pour la première fois depuis de nombreuses années, un programme « Spécial Vacances Coupe Journal de Montréal » en semaine pour ce mardi 20 juillet à compter de 17h. 

 

Dans le cadre de cette soirée, on présentera cinq finales très intéressantes dans trois classes de voitures.

 

« Nous aurons une finale de 25 tours en Challenge 4 ANCA Meilleur Ramoneur pour compléter la soirée, mais auparavant les amateurs auront eu droit à un programme double pour les deux classes NASCAR, soit Sport Compact Lucas Oil et Sportsman Ippersiel.

 

 

 

 

« Comme il n’y a pas eu de courses samedi soir, tout le monde aura eu quelques journées supplémentaires pour se préparer. Nous, nous attendons à avoir, de nouveau, des courses avec beaucoup d’intensité comme ce fut le cas le 10 juillet dernier, » a précisé Yves Ladouceur, le directeur de la compétition sur ovale à l’autodrome St-Eustache.

 

Il y aura également un programme spécial avec la deuxième présence des camionnettes Procam Cummins (50 tours) samedi soir prochain et une finale très attendue de 150 tours dans la classe Sport Compact NASCAR Lucas Oil dans le cadre du championnat québécois de la Triple Couronne.

Delaware Speedway July 16th results and recap!

SISKINS CAR WINS ON SISKINS NIGHT AT DELAWARE SPEEDWAY!

                        Winners: Jonathan Urlin, Jason Lidster, Paul Fothergill

For immediate release

July 16, 2010 (London, Ontario)

The first NASCAR Late Model race since the Delaware Summer Showdown, and this one for points, ran caution-free for 35 exciting laps.  It began bookended by Robblees.  Matt's #51 had the pole and his father, defending champ Steve, ran one lap in the 28 to gather points for starting before taking it to the pits.

 

Scott Lindsay (20) took the lead at the second lap and fought off Jonathan Urlin (04) for a couple of dozen laps before Urlin made it out front at lap 27.  Ron Sheridan stayed on Urlin's heels and also moved up a spot. Sheridan would have loved to rack up another feature win but he told announcer Jamie Maudsley after the race that, "I had nothing left for him (Urlin) at the end."

Urlin rode to Victory Lane in his Siskins sponsored car on the law firm's sponsored night.  Sheridan was second, Lindsay came in third.

Disappointment for Stephen Richmond during Super Stocks practice but it was lessened because of the generosity of a pal.  Richmond broke an axle on his #24 and crashed into the wall at turn 4.  The car sustained enough damage to keep it out of the feature race. But Andrew Perkins stepped up and offered his car to Richmond so he could gather some points. The #3 was hastily renumbered 24 and Richmond was back in the game. (Perkins and Richmond came up together through Delaware's Junior Racing League.) About one-third of the way into the Super Stocks feature, the 3/24 got a couple of flat tires and Richmond decided to call it a night.

An unusual sight early in the first Super Stocks heat.  The #69 of Kris Root was tagged and sent flying backwards, smack into the front of the Delaware Safety Truck.  No one was hurt but Whitworth Towing had to come by and separate the vehicles.  The delay gave Root enough time to get his car repaired and back out when the heat resumed.  The Safety Truck stayed on duty with a crumpled front bumper.

It was a night of vindication for Delaware Super Stocks driver Jason Lidster (11) who was denied a win last week on a call by officials.

The Super Stocks feature started with Rob Windis out front.  Two cautions – one at lap 2 and one on that caution's restart – both involved Dave Chant (19) and the second took (74) Al Bowman out of the race.  

At lap 5, Windis had an increasingly cushy lead as Devon Bloemendal (66) lost the battle to keep his 3rd position and within a lap, had fallen to 6th.

At lap 8 a dramatic crash occurred on turn 3.  Kris Root (69) spun and Jake Ott (60) and Matt Humphrys (04) ran into him giving the clean-up crew and Whitworth Towing plenty to do.  One side of Ott's car was nearly sheared off and Humphrys went to the pits but Root got back out to race.

Last week's feature winner, Jeremy Reid, took enough damage in that scrap to end his night.

A new leader at lap 10 – Jason Lidster (11) with Kris Lawrence pulling ahead of Windis to take second. At lap 14 the 99 of Scott Nagy took a solo spin and brought out Sharpie's yellow flag again.

Another minor tangle involving Ott on turn 3 brought out another caution at lap 14.

With Lidster and Lawrence fairly secure in their positions, the battle for the right to join them on Victory Lane featured a half dozen drivers over 11 laps.   Third place went to Scott O'Connor.

In Demar Aggregates Trucks, Gary Triska (57) had the pole but it only took a lap and a half for Devon Bloemendal (01) to take the lead.  Division points leader Paul Fothergill (33) bulleted from14th place to take second at lap five and by then Bloemendal had a half-a-straightaway lead.

The scoreboard showed Jordan Dupuis in third but there was a whole lot of pavement separating him from the two leaders.  Fothergill closed the gap by the halfway point and spent about a lap side-by-side with Bloemendal before capturing the lead at lap 18. 

Dupuis took some bumps from Jeff Showler (56) for third as Fothergill lost the lead to Bloemendal at lap 21 after getting snarled in lap traffic.

A caution at lap 22 as Derek Clark (7) and Craig Marche (15) made contact just off turn two.  Clark took a spin through the pits and was able to rejoin the race when the green came back out and raced with a dislocated shoulder and no power steering left.

Lap 23 saw Fothergill reclaim the lead and he kept it through the checkered flag.  Bloemendal's error cost him a top-three place, landing fourth.  Jordan Dupuis was second, Jeff Showler, third.

Last week's winner, Michelle Koricina, finished 9th.

 

We are back tomorrow with more racing sponsored by Transmission Direct and presented by All-Round Truck and Auto Care. David McCullough leads Emmanuel Demelo by just five points in the deep Transmission Direct Enduro field. The Enduro race is sponsored by George's Auto Wreckers and Recycling.

Saturday's program also features Ultimate Sandblasting and Coating Chaos Cars where Blue Thunder ranks first. Racing starts at 7 pm.
