(5/25/2022 – Alex Nieten) Sacramento, CA… After years of racing in various areas of the country and at times shining with the ASCS, Logan Forler made the decision to focus primarily on the NARC Fujitsu General Sprint Car tour in 2022, and while the transition has been tough early on, he’s ready for some racing on familiar tracks.

The series heads north this week for the Pacific Northwest edition of the Fastest Four Days in Motorsports featuring a pair of tracks in Oregon and one in Washington. An interesting career path led Forler to turning many laps around those facilities prior to his jump to focusing primarily on California this year.

While Forler now calls Idaho home, he was born in Puyallup, Washington and began his racing career in the state among the quarter-midget ranks when he was just five years old. Eventually he progressed into micro sprints and then went on to start his sprint car career in his teenage years and blended some traveling into his early experience.

“I got into sprint cars the year I turned 16,” Forler said. “My first race was actually in Texas, and we worked our way back home from Texas and then I raced around home for my first couple years.”

After some early success, Forler began dabbling in the ASCS, both with their national tour and some of their regional series in the Midwest and Northwest and began to get more laps at more racetracks. It didn’t take long before Forler was running up front, collecting his first ASCS National win in 2012. He’s since tallied a total of 27 victories across national and regional events.

Starting a family slowed Forler’s racing career in the late 2010s before he eased his way back in last year. Then, he decided to lengthen his schedule in 2022 and race primarily in California, specifically focusing on NARC. So, why did this driver who has so much experience and success in 360ci sprint cars decide to make the jump to a 410ci series in somewhat unfamiliar territory? For where he resides and his current desires in racing, it’s what made the most sense.

“This year I wanted to focus more on getting back into the 410 stuff. That’s really what I enjoy doing,” Forler explained. “And the only place to really do that is with NARC, unless you’re based out of Indiana or something and can fly back and forth, but that just wasn’t in the cards this year.”

Prior to this year, Forler wasn’t completely inexperienced in California. The 28-year-old had tallied five NARC starts, his most recent coming in 2014. He’d also made a handful of trips for local events and taken a liking to a couple tracks even with limited laps.

“I’ve always been a big fan of Placerville,” Forler said. “I think I’ve only raced there four times total, but every time I’ve been I’ve enjoyed it. I’ve also always been a fan of Chico (Silver Dollar Speedway). I’ve been to Chico quite a few times.”

While he has enjoyed some success at a couple Golden State facilities, Forler has found the transition difficult at times. California racetracks are known for having distinct set of characteristics compared to most of the country, so while Forler is an experienced racer, the tracks on the NARC calendar present a new list of challenges.

“The biggest difference I see in the racetracks is the Midwest tracks are really smooth and slick, not much of a cushion just more of a color change,” Forler noted. “That’s something I’ve been having a hard time getting used to because it’s just a lot different driving style running what they would consider a cushion in the Midwest because it’s not what they would consider a cushion in California.”

Fortunately for Forler, he’ll soon be heading to home turf for a break from the unfamiliar. The series is returning to the Pacific Northwest for the first time in a decade with dates at Central Point, Oregon’s Southern Oregon Speedway, Lebanon, Oregon’s Willamette Speedway, and Elma, Washington’s Grays Harbor Raceway all scheduled for Memorial Day weekend.

NARC will also head north again next month with trips to Cottage Grove Speedway and Skagit Speedway’s Super Dirt Cup on the calendar.

With his birthplace being Washington and his current home of Idaho, Forler has found plenty of success in the Northwest. He has won in 360 competition at four of the five tracks the series will visit. And even at the one he hasn’t, Southern Oregon Speedway, Forler posted a strong run with NARC back in 2010 by collecting a top-five.

“Yeah, I have a lot of confidence going into those tracks more so than the California stuff,” Forler said. “I have a lot of laps around those places, especially Skagit and Elma.”

While he’s armed with some confidence, Forler is staying realistic with his expectations heading north. He’s still amid a readjustment period after his break from racing, and while the California competitors may not be as experienced as him on the coming tracks, they’re still some of the best drivers along the West Coast.

“I look at more on a night-to-night basis,” Forler said. “I’m still trying to get to where I’m 100% confident in what the car is capable of because I’ve been out of racing for so long. So, I don’t know if the familiarity with those racetracks is going to help me a whole lot or not. We’ll see.”

Looking toward the future of Forler’s career, he isn’t certain what’s in store. He looks to continue focusing on 410s, but he isn’t entirely sure how many more years he’ll race. His kids are growing up every day, and Forler hopes to make racing a family tradition by helping kickstart their careers, which may take time from his own.

Before he takes a major step back from racing, though, Forler does have some goals he’d like to accomplish, specifically one that may allow fans he picked up during his years of traveling in the Midwest to see him race in person again. This season of developing his 410 program with the NARC Fujitsu General Sprint Cars may very well be a stepping stone toward that goal as Forler continues to try something new in 2022.

“I’ve always wanted to go out and do the whole All-Star tour,” Forler said. “I don’t know if that’s something that’s actually going to be feasible or not, but it’s definitely something that I would really like to do. I do want to keep racing the 410 stuff. I don’t want to drop the 410 racing. It’s where I want to stay.”

NASCAR veterans return to Oswego after 30-plus-year absence, this time on dirt OSWEGO, NY – May 25, 2022 – They’ve conquered NASCAR. They’re cemented DIRTcar UMP Modified heroes. This October, Ken Schrader and Kenny Wallace will make their Oswego Speedway dirt debut and become part of the 50th edition of Racing’s Biggest Party. The 50th NAPA Super DIRT Week entry list now includes the St. Louis-area motorsports veterans as they aim for a starting spot in the DIRTcar Pro Stock 50 on Saturday, October 8. Both have raced on the asphalt at Oswego in the past – Schrader’s 1989 NASCAR Modified Series start and Wallace’s ASA Late Model appearance in 1986 – but this time, it’s all dirt. They’ll each take the reins of a Pro Stock for the first time, competing against the region’s best racers in the division for a shot at the $2,000 grand prize and Northeast racing immortality. Though it’s been 30-plus years since they last battled inside the hallowed walls of The Steel Palace, both Schrader and Wallace have always wanted to make their return and experience the Northeast’s largest motorsports spectacle from the driver’s seat. “I put it on the schedule last winter, and I highlighted it,” Schrader said. “Once I’ve highlighted it my little planner, it’s gonna happen. Nothing’s going to mess it up.” “I know from just hanging around [the racing community] how big of a deal this is,” Wallace said. “We don’t talk about it much, but Oswego is huge.” Though he’s never competed at Super DIRT Week before, Schrader does have a Big Block start on the Syracuse Mile at the New York State Fairgrounds – once piloting a Billy Decker backup car for an early 1990s Independence Day weekend special. He also owns a Super DIRTcar Series victory – on asphalt – at Sanair Super Speedway in Quebec, Canada, in 1989. Hearing of Super DIRT Week’s size and prestige, Schrader came back to Syracuse in October of 1996 to see the 25th running of the Billy Whittaker Cars 200. “We didn’t have a NASCAR Cup race that weekend, and I took the camper up there,” Schrader recalled. “Wow, what an event.” Though Wallace never competed at Syracuse in his career, he has made laps around Oswego – 36 years ago. Wallace drove an Asphalt Late Model around the 5/8-mile oval in 1986 and finished 4th to race winner Mark Martin. He’s turned laps in a Big Block with the Super DIRTcar Series on two occasions – running 15th in a field of 32 at the 2007 Advance Auto Parts 60 at Virginia Motor Speedway, and most recently a start in The Big Show X at Albany-Saratoga Speedway in 2018. He also made an unsanctioned Big Block appearance at Humberstone Speedway in 2009. “I’ve ran those cars, and when you look at Brett Hearn or Stewart Friesen… those cars are beautifully handcrafted – a lot of heliarc welding, beautiful aluminum work,” Wallace said. Since their time spent racing in New York, both Schrader and Wallace have learned a lot about the reputation of Super DIRT Week and the expanding following it’s kept since its relocation to Oswego in 2016. This October, they’ll get the chance to experience the biggest edition yet. “The fact that the campers fill the town, the party atmosphere… the whole weeklong thing is why you want to be up there,” Schrader said. “We all know that is the #1 racing fanbase in America; that’s just common knowledge,” Wallace said. “People don’t like to admit it, but New York is the place.” Tickets and camping passes for the 50th edition of NAPA Auto Parts Super DIRT Week at Oswego Speedway, Oct. 3-9, 2022, are on sale now. CLICK HERE to purchase.

NASCAR CUP SERIES

CHARLOTTE MOTOR SPEEDWAY

COCA-COLA 600

TEAM CHEVY TELECONFERENCE TRANSCRIPT

MAY 25, 2022

COREY LAJOIE, NO. 7 SPIRE MOTORSPORTS CAMARO ZL1, met with the media in advance of this weekend’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Teleconference Transcript:

JUST LOOKING BACK ON LAST WEEKEND WITH HOW MUCH YOU WERE UP FRONT AND BEING IN THE TOP-FOUR IN THE FAN VOTE, HOW BIG WAS THAT FOR YOU AND SPIRE MOTORSPORTS TO HAVE SOME TV TIME THROUGHOUT THE RACE?

“I mean, at the end of the day you’re still racing B-Main. Our goal was to try to get to the big show and earn our way there, whether it be through a stage or win a race. Anytime you can get on TV no matter what the setting is, you know we had a pretty good car. We rolled the dice with some strategy there and got up front and kept some track position. Barring a caution and a wreck, I thought we could have potentially held them off. You know, we’ve got some more chances to get a win and be in the playoffs this year, but we’re starting to make some gains.”

THEN LOOKING A WEEK FURTHER AHEAD TO ST. LOUIS OR WORLD WIDE TECHNOLOGY COMING UP, HOW ARE YOU PREPARING FOR THAT? 

“No, I’ve never even seen the place. Actually, I have seen the place as a kid when my dad was there. We’d go on summer long motorhome trips, so I’ve been there when I was probably seven on a bicycle. I haven’t ever raced there. I know some guys have Truck Series experience there. We don’t ever receive a simulator here, so it’s tough to really get up to speed with what we’re up against some other guys. I’ll jump on iRacing to run a little bit just to get some site points and things like that. Really and truly got to figure out how to learn the place as quick as possible and make efficient changes to your car after practice since it’s one of those open practice sessions.”

WHERE IS YOUR ORGANIZATION AT AS FAR AS CARS, PARTS, AND EVERYTHING? DO YOU FEEL GOOD OR I KNOW THE 77 HAS HAD A FEW ROUGH (INAUDIABLE)? I DON’T KNOW WHAT THAT’S DONE TO YOUR CAR COUNT.

“So, we’re I think we have four or five cars in rotation for the 7. I think the 77 has three plus the car that rides as a generic back up. I haven’t heard any overly concerned folks in the shop about being tight on cars. I know body parts and stuff are being repaired by the team, so that’s probably the only back log. I don’t know too much about what else is backed up. It seems as though we haven’t had any issues getting our cars prepared on time with the right parts.”

YOU KNOW A LOT OF (INAUDIBLE) WAS MADE AT THE START OF THE YEAR ABOUT THE CAR POTENTIALLY BEING AN EQUALIZER. I MEAN, I KNOW BIG TEAMS ALWAYS WILL HAVE MORE DEPTH AND MORE ENGINEERING, BUT HOW HAVE YOU SEEN THAT NOW THAT YOU’RE A FEW MONTHS INTO IT?

“I mean, obviously I never expected it to be an equalizer. It’s motorsports. It’s never going to be an equal playing field, but at least we are playing with the same parts and pieces as some of the other guys. Now, the box of what you assemble the parts and pieces I believe is a little bit bigger. Now, the small details across the whole car whether it’s underwing, shock builds are big. You know, now that’s something that’s really crucial part of making grip. So now if you’re a little bit off with the same parts and pieces, now you just get instead of having a bad day and running 21^st, a bad day for anybody if you miss it is 28^th and 30^th. We’ve had a couple of good days, couple top-15 runs so far, but we’ve also had several bad days that we need to figure out how to make our short-track stuff a little bit better. I think for us on paper, we’re a 31^st to 33^rd place team so, anything above that really is overachieving. I feel like we overachieve every week, but it’s hard to beat when you look at a list there’s 22 or 24 teams that are directly tied into the OEM tap of information. We’re just one of those smaller buckets two or three down the line that gets the data after it’s used and applied for several weeks before us. The parts are the same, but data flow of information has not changed.”

SO, I KNOW YOU DIDN’T WANT TO BE IN THE B-MAIN AND YOU’VE NOW ADDRESSED THAT POINT. THE GAINS THAT YOU MADE ON THE FAN VOTE THIS YEAR, DO YOU HAVE A STRATEGY OR IS THIS JUST HEY I’M COREY LAJOIE?

“Certainly, the podcast helps and it’s not even like I went to seek that out to be able to do that. Been doing that organically for the last couple of years and the last two has been on NASCAR.com’s platform. It’s been a lot of fun to just give the fans a little bit of peek into what my life, my weekly life is and the struggles it is for a smaller team and a guy like in my situation to compete against Kyle Larson and guys that win races competitively. I think that’s certainly a big thing that allows people to relate to myself that I deal with the same issues and have bad days, have good days. I’m happy, I’m sad and all the stuff that comes along with it. There’s certainly that and it’s cool to hear fans yell Stacking Pennies or wearing your merch. Definitely makes you feel good when people spend their hard earned money to wear something with your name on it. It’s been a big uptick over the last six or eight months, I’ve noticed people supporting me. It’s definitely pretty cool. I wish we would have gotten the fan vote, but none the less I appreciate all the people who did take the time to vote. Like I said, I want to get in that thing the old school, the old fashioned way by winning a race and qualify my way in. There’s always next year.”

HOW IMPORTANT IS ALSO BEYOND JUST GETTING RESULTS AND HAVING GOOD FINISHES? IS THAT KIND OF BRANDING AND GROWING THAT POPULARITY IMPORTANT TO HOPEFULLY YOU BEING ABLE TO TAKE ANOTHER STEP AT SOME POINT SOON AND BUILD ON BEING IN A BETTER SITUATION?

“I mean at the end of the day, this is competitive based business. You got to make sure you’re the best at where you’re at, but also you have to be doing everything you do to put yourself in position to drive a race winning car with a race winning team. Anybody that says anything different, is probably lying to you. At the end of the day, the teams with the most OEM support are consistently (inaudible) teams. I knew what I signed up for here and continue to grind every week. I do enjoy the challenge of having, trying to figure out how to take chicken and make chicken salad. We do that pretty much every week. Everybody here in the building wants to be competitive and wants to hang banners on the wall and be a place where you do get that external motivation and external rewards in the way of money and trophies. I don’t like to be a materialistic guy, but we’re all doing this because we’re competitive. We all do this because we want to make money. We all do this because you want to be the one holding the trophy. That’s ultimately what my goals are as a racecar driver.”

WHEN WILL WE SEE YOU IN A SPIRE TRUCK?

“I asked the same thing my friend. That thing doesn’t roll out of Bono’s garage if it’s not paid for by somebody. We’ve seen the Hendrick drivers get their crack at it with HendrickCars.com on the side of it and it’s hard for me to go to all my partners who I already ask for a lot of to go jump on for the price it takes to go run a Truck race. I’d love the opportunity to get some extra laps, especially at a road course where I feel like I don’t have a lot of experience at, would it be Sonoma, Watkins Glen or Road America. Those guys have to make sure that they stay in the black and we’re going to see some pretty cool drivers behind the wheel of that thing coming up. There are some announcements soon, but hopefully one day I can drive that thing because Bono’s got that thing dialed in.”

THIS WEEKEND BEING MEMORIAL DAY, HOW COOL IS IT FOR YOU TO HAVE USO ON YOUR CAR?

“Man, super cool. I appreciate you asking that. It’s something I’ve been working with Coke on some different things through eNASCAR as well as the podcast so, to tie Coca-Cola and their support with the USO, obviously the Coke 600. There are so many different things that are coming together this week, a lot of obligations on my part that I’m happy to be a part of. Meeting a lot of service members, feeding men and women on Sunday before the race and just the amount of support that’s coming from (inaudible) and the USO on a car for 600 Miles of Remembrance is pretty cool. It’s been a lot of work behind the scenes trying to put all of this together, so to carry USO and this patriotic paint scheme on Memorial Day weekend is something I take pretty serious.”

OBVIOUSLY, THERE ARE A LOT OF GOOD THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN LIFE. THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE NOT AS GOOD, CERTAINLY THE WORLD HAS SEEN SOME OF THOSE. I’M CURIOUS AS A PARENT HOW DO YOU LOOK AT IT WHEN THINGS HAPPEN?

“I could go a lot of different ways with the answer, but I land on this. You know the world we live in is a broken place. This isn’t our intended home anyways. When it comes to raising God like or kids to respect themselves, respect their adults, to be able to thing for themselves, that’s what I’m excited for the challenge of having to raise a child to positively impact a community. Now, I’m still working on that, but it comes from being intentional. It comes from being there with your kids to teach them about the things that really matter, truly, in life and when you see the Uvalde stuff man, I couldn’t imagine dropping my kid off to daycare…. I’m going to cry. It would suck. So, it would suck. At the end of the day, we are called as Christians and just people who have some influence in society to make positive impacts with the platforms that we have. It’s easy to lose sight of that, thinking that you’re not being successful enough behind the wheel of a racecar when there’s going to be 100,000 people watching you on a Sunday afternoon, Memorial Day. Millions of people watching you on TV and it’s easy to put the blinders on and forget about how much outside impact you have, as well as impact you have right now at home. I’m going to raise Levi and this next son I’m going to have to be, like, men. We don’t have enough men in the world nowadays.”

IS THAT AS MUCH GETTING IT FROM YOUR FAMILY AND JUST BEING PASSED DOWN AND JUST CONTINUING THAT IN HOW YOU DO THINGS?

“Yeah, I mean to my grandfather right. You know, broken families lead to broken kids. You can talk about all the legislation you want to and beat that horse until it’s dead, which it’s been beat over and over. That’s not the root of it. The root is just broken families raising broken people. Hurt people, hurt people. There’s nothing that rings truer. That’s what we see more often than not, because as these hurt kids grow into hurt adolescents, then they are able to get their hands on guys. They’re able to get like to think about certain things that could cause death and harm to anybody they want to. Whatever you want to right now is open for business and we’re focused on the wrong things. We need to be focused on raising kids to think for themselves and to have self-confidence.”

May 25, 2022 | Featured, Julie Nataas, Race Results

With two teams competing over 900 miles away from each other, Randy Meyer Racing completed its second double-up winning weekend in NHRA Top Alcohol Dragster with drivers Julie Nataas and Matt Sackman. On Saturday, Nataas won the NHRA Central Region race at the Texas Motorplex near Dallas, and Sackman won the NHRA North Central Region opener at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park on Sunday. Both drivers are now the points leaders in their respective regions. 

Driving Randy Meyer Racing’s flagship car, the Oslo Tapet & Gulvbelegg (OTG) A/Fuel dragster, Nataas qualified No. 3 at the Dallas event and raced past Todd Bruce, Chase Copeland, and Steve Collier to score her first Wally of the season. The win also moved her to the top of the national points standings. 

“It was awesome to get the first win of the season,” Nataas said. “I knew we could double up again like last year. Last year Rachel [Meyer] got the win first, so it was nice to not have the pressure of winning because my teammate just won. Especially since we haven’t been able to get a win until this one. It’s been a while since we parked the OTG dragster in the winner’s circle. We have struggled with some gremlins this year, so it was a huge relief to finally get that win. We all needed it.”

Sackman, who was tuned over the phone by Meyer, qualified No. 2 in the Hangsterfer’s Metalworking Lubricants entry at Indy before defeating J.P. Gutierrez, Robin Samsel, and Mike Coughlin to win his third Top Alcohol Dragster Wally. Sackman won the last two rounds on a holeshot while stepping up to a 5.247 at 268.92 MPH in the final round. 

“Anytime you win it’s a good feeling, but to help Randy string a couple wins together, it was awesome,” said Sackman, who thanked car chief Rich Tretter, crew members Juliaun Pracht, Andrew Holisky, and Doug Foley Jr, parents Darren and Marie, brother Zach, and girlfriend Ryen Lamb. “To have Randy’s trust in us to take care of his race car and all of his stuff, it was pretty special. It was definitely a confidence boost for RMR and for me too. All of my family and friends were there. It was just a great weekend.”

Meyer, who owns and tunes both cars, credited his teams for their work at the shop and at the track. 

“It takes a lot of planning and good people,” Meyer said of racing two cars at two different events. “We had both and it finally came together. Because we’ve done it before, we have some experience in it and we know what we need to do. Even though we have a plan, you still need to have good people to follow through with the plan. We had real good people in both places.”

Meyer is used to running two cars at most events, but they’re usually pitted right next to each other, not 900 miles apart. Once or twice a year, the team will divide and conquer at two different events. It’s a challenge Meyer actually enjoys. 

“It’s actually a little bit easier for me to run two cars this way,” Meyer said. “When you have two cars in the same pit, you have so much chaos going on that it’s hard to focus. So when I have one car, it’s easier to take care of. The other one I don’t know all the other stuff that’s going on, so I don’t have all the distractions. I just take care of tuning and give the guys direction on where we need to go and what changes we’re going to make based on the data I have. It makes it real easy. It’s actually easier than most people think it is, but you have to have everything in place to do that.”

The double-up weekend was a perfectly timed morale boost for Meyer, who admitted he was starting to lose his confidence after a brief winless streak.

“It’s not that we had a bad car, we just didn’t have a good car,” Meyer said. “We never got any breaks. When you win something big or you win a championship, you need a few breaks along the way. We’ve been to a few finals, just haven’t been able to seal the deal. We’re still struggling a little bit. The cars aren’t running as good as I want them to be or what they should be. The [fuel temperature] rule changes have affected my program pretty heavily. We’re still trying to overcome that.”

Randy Meyer Racing’s next appearance on the NHRA Lucas Oil Series schedule is two months away at the NHRA Central Region race at Heartland Motorsports Park, July 29-31, in Topeka, Kansas. 

“We’re looking forward to a break,” Meyer said. “This will give us a chance to regroup and rebuild. We’re going to make some more changes for the second half of the season and see what happens. We’re also going to do a little Funny Car racing and some other stuff in between.”

10-Time Champion Donny Schatz Looks to Continue Dominance at Ohio Track

WAVERLY, OH – May 25, 2022 – For the first time since 2009, the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series is returning to Atomic Speedway in Waverly, OH. The eight-ever appearance by The Greatest Show on Dirt at the 3/8-mile oval comes this Saturday, May 28.

Among the top storylines is Ohio’s own Sheldon Haudenschild chasing a home-state win, Donny Schatz looking to extend his dominance at the track, and Brad Sweet hoping to pad his points lead, while the duo of Carson Macedo and David Gravel hope to cut it down.

Here’s what to watch for this weekend on DIRTVision.com:

K-C KING: When it comes to Atomic Speedway, or K-C Raceway as it was called back in the day, nobody on the World of Outlaws tour owns as much experience or hardware as Donny Schatz does. The 10-time Series champion owns an astounding 1.67 average finish in six starts with four victories and a worst finish of fourth. It’s been 13 years since the Fargo, ND native won four out of five shows at the Waverly, OH track, but you can expect the same type of dominance this week.

A return to Atomic comes with perfect timing for the Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing, Ford Performance, Carquest #15. They’re building momentum with three consecutive top-10 finishes, including their first podium in more than a month.

PACING THE POINTS: Just over a week ago, it appeared as if Brad Sweet was going to lose his point lead for the first time since February, but then Carson Macedo rolled across the scales light and that changed everything. The Big Cat was set to be down -4 points, but now two races later, he finds himself padding the lead and bolstering a +38 advantage entering Atomic.

The Kasey Kahne Racing, NAPA Auto Parts #49 team is still hungry for more success, though, as it has been more than a month since they last finished on the podium at Tri-State (IN). They’ve managed a 9.3 average finish over the last six shows, but have still made all the right moves to maintain and even grow their points lead. This weekend, the Grass Valley, CA native visits Waverly, OH for the first time in more than a decade.

BOUNCE BACK: Last Friday’s Feature at Attica chewed up and spit out two of the longest top-10 streaks on tour, and forced a pair of drivers and teams to start from scratch this week at Atomic.

Spencer Bayston, the leading Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year contender, built the longest streak this season with 11 consecutive top-10s before faltering with a 13th at Attica due to a flat right rear which sent him to the work area. The CJB Motorsports #5 pilot is a former winner at Atomic, topping the 2018 Dean Knittel Memorial.

David Gravel battled through his toughest night of the year at Attica, ending up 18th after a whopping three trips to the work area in the 35-lap Feature. The Big Game Motorsports #2 was rolling with eight-straight top-10s prior to the disastrous night. The Watertown, CT native can head to Atomic with confidence, though, as he owns five starts and five top-10s at the track including a career-best of second in 2011.

DOUBLING DOWN: Last week, Jason Sides announced that Robbie Price of Cobble Hill, British Columbia, Canada would fill the seat of the #7S for the remainder of the 2022 season. The 24-year-old native has started 21 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series Features in his career, but most notably owns a pair of ASCS National Tour victories in a 360 Sprint Car. This weekend at Atomic will be one of many tracks the young gun encounters for the first time this year with Sides still on the wrenches and performing driver coach duties.

BUILDING STEAM: It’s been a bit of a tough go for James McFadden in 2022, remaining winless through 21 starts in the Roth Motorsports #83. Last year, it took the Alice Springs, NT, Australia native only six shows in the United States to get a World of Outlaws win. He’s finally building some momentum again, though, with consecutive results of ninth, sixth, and third landing him his third podium finish of the year.

J-Mac will look for his first chance at World of Outlaws victory lane this weekend at Atomic, where he won back-to-back All-Star Features in 2019.

PHONE-A-FRIEND: With Philip Dietz at home as his wife Brooke Dietz gave birth to newborn Jase, the Jason Johnson Racing, Albaugh #41 team was without their lead man last week. Carson Macedo still managed to earn a strong runner-up finish at Attica and even challenged Kyle Larson for the win at multiple points. A determined work ethic at track plus Dietz’s call-in advice from watching DIRTVision proved to be a sustainable model for the time being.

It’s still unsure if Dietz will make the trip to Atomic Speedway this Saturday, but if not, car chief Clyde Knipp and tire specialist Nate Repetz will step up again. Every night remains crucial for the Rocky Mount, MO-based operation as they continue to fight for the championship lead, trailing Sweet by only -38 points entering the week.

CLOSING THE GAP: For much of the past month, it’s been a three-horse race out front in the championship standings with Brad Sweet, David Gravel, and Carson Macedo. Over the last two weeks, though, Sheldon Haudenschild (-56) and Logan Schuchart (-92) have closed the gap.

Haudenschild, of Wooster, OH, is amid the best active three-race streak on tour right now. He finished second at Williams Grove, won at Bridgeport, and fourth at Attica last week in the Stenhouse Jr. / Marshall Racing, NOS Energy Drink #17. His attention remains in his home state of Ohio this weekend with Atomic on deck, a place he’s won before with the All-Stars in 2016.

For Schuhcart, the Hanover, PA native is piecing together a brilliant turnaround in the Shark Racing, DuraMAX Oil, Drydene Performance Products #1S. He opened the season with a 10.6 average finish through 12 shows and has since recovered to average a 4.7 finish in the last nine nights. He also owns a Series best seven top-five results over that same span.

Contact Between KKM Teammates Boschele and Wiedman Changed Race on Lap 21

SALISBURY, NC – May 25, 2022 – Tuesday’s debut for the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota was an event months in the making.

The creation of the new Series was announced at PRI in December, more than five whole months ago. On Tuesday, May 24, 2022, everything finally came to fruition with the official launching of the Midget division at Millbridge Speedway in Salisbury, North Carolina. A star-studded field of 35 cars, plus a heap of enthralled race fans made the long-awaited debut an instant success.

On this night, making the most history was none other than hometown hero, Gavan Boschele. The 14-year-old native of Mooresville, NC led the final nine of 30 laps in the Keith Kunz/Curb-Agajanian Motorsport, Curb Records, Bullet/Toyota #5, officially becoming the first winner in Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series history.

Boschele’s breakthrough, his second-ever National Midget win (POWRi 2021), didn’t come without a hint of controversy, however. After starting from the pole position, Boschele backed into second and held the runner-up spot for 21 laps while his KKM teammate, Bryant Wiedeman of Colby, KS, controlled the race.

The $4,000-to-win affair reached its breaking point on the restart with nine to go when Boschele barely hooked Wiedeman’s rear bumper and sent the Yerf Dog #01 spinning in front of the field. Boschele escaped unscathed, but the same could not be said for Wiedeman and a pile of 10+ other competitors with nowhere to avoid the stopped car.

It was shaping up to be an epic duel between the two teenagers with Wiedeman stuck to the low-line and Boschele up top banging the boards. Once in command, Boschele faced no challenges from the rest of the field and cruised away to a 0.938-second margin of victory.

“I hate that I got into Bryant [Wiedeman] there,” Boschele acknowledged. “I knew what he was doing the whole race and we had no problems before, but then I think he caught a rut and that split-second got me to his back bumper before I could react and got him. It’s a racing deal, but it still sucks.

“It’s pretty awesome to win this first-ever race, though, and especially to do it at my home track. These KKM guys gave me an incredible car. I’m excited to see what we can do tomorrow when it gets a little slicker.”

Finishing in the runner-up spot with an impressive 12th-to-second charge was Zach Daum of Pocahontas, IL. The three-time POWRi National Midget champion showed the poise of a veteran as he bided his time and cautiously maneuvered to the front in the Bundy Built #19M entry.

Closing out the podium was another Mooresville, NC native Nick Drake bringing the #55 home in third place. He was as high as second place on one of the late restarts but eventually faded as Daum continued his march forward.

DIRTcar UMP Modified legend Nick Hoffman traded his fenders in for torsion bars and promptly drove from 13th-to-fourth to begin his Xtreme Outlaw Midget career. Trailing him with the inaugural TJ Forged Hard Charger Award was Brent Crews for hustling the Diaedge #71M from 16th-to-fifth in the 30-lapper.

Rounding out the top-10 at Millbridge was Sam Johnson of St. Peters, MO in sixth, Ethan Mitchell of Mooresville, NC in seventh, Carson Kvapil of Mooresville, NC in eighth, Dominic Gorden of Clovis, CA in ninth, and Brenham Crouch of Lubbock, TX in tenth, after flipping on Lap 21 while running in third.

The likes of Cannon McIntosh (11th), Bryant Wiedeman (13th), Kyle Jones (15th), Kyle Larson (16th), and Chance Crum (19th) had to settle for some disappointing finishes outside the top-10 after being collected in the carnage while running toward the front.

Earlier in the night, Broken Arrow, OK’s Taylor Reimer earned the first-ever Whitz Racing QuickTime Award. She circled Millbridge in 10.026 seconds aboard the Keith Kunz/Curb-Agajanian Motorsports, BuzzBallz #25K, claiming a quick $600 for her efforts.

Xtreme Outlaw Midget Heat Races went to Cannon McIntosh, Bryant Wiedeman, Brenham Crouch, Nick Drake & Kyle Jones. With a perfect 33 points, Jones of Kennedale, TX earned high point man honors for the Trifecta Motorsports #7U. A pair of K1 Race Gear Last Chance Showdown wins went to Kyle Larson and Ryan Timms.

Toyota Feature Results (30 Laps) – 1. Gavan Boschele (1); 2. Zach Daum (12); 3. Nick Drake (6); 4. Nick Hoffman (13); 5. Brent Crews (16); 6. Sam Johnson (10); 7. Ethan Mitchell (11); 8.

Program Created To Bring Global Racing Stars To NASCAR

CONCORD, NORTH CAROLINA – Trackhouse Entertainment Group today announced the creation of PROJECT91, a program designed to expand its international reach by fielding a NASCAR Cup Series entry for renowned international racing drivers.

Trackhouse’s PROJECT91 will enter the No. 91 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 at least once during the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season with plans to expand the program in the future. Trackhouse Racing – a division of Trackhouse Entertainment Group – fields the No. 99 and the No. 1 Chevrolets with drivers Daniel Suárez and Ross Chastain in the NASCAR Cup Series. Trackhouse Founder/Owner Justin Marks

With PROJECT91, Trackhouse will become the destination for global superstars from other racing disciplines eager to compete in America’s most popular form of motorsports.“PROJECT91’s mission is to activate the intersection point of NASCAR racing and global motorsport culture,” said Marks, whose Trackhouse Racing team has won twice during the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series campaign. “I truly believe the NexGen car represents an opportunity for NASCAR to enter the global professional motorsport conversation. We now have a race vehicle with international technological relevance where world-class drivers from other disciplines can compete at NASCAR’s highest level without the steep learning curve that the previous generation cars required.

“Vehicle advancements used in other forms of motorsports, such as, diffusers, independent rear suspension, the sequential gearbox, and other more common components, have resulted in a platform much less reliant on intimate proprietary stock car knowledge, which has historically made any transition to NASCAR difficult.

“With the formation of PROJECT91, Trackhouse has opened the door for global champions while beginning the process of scaling into an internationally recognized racing brand.”PROJECT91 will announce its first driver and race in the coming days. 

River Cities, Huset’s, Doubleheader at Knoxville & $20,000 at Beaver Dam in JuneCONCORD, NC – May 24, 2022 – With the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series, the schedule gets busier, the action gets hotter, and the money gets bigger when summer comes around.June will kickstart this three-month period where racers and teams strive to be at the top of their game, while fans flock to the Midwest to catch The Greatest Show on Dirt.The 2022 June slate begins with a North Dakota / South Dakota split at River Cities Speedway and Huset’s Speedway. From there, The Sprint Car Capital of the World takes over with a doubleheader at Iowa’s Knoxville Raceway. After that, Wisconsin’s Beaver Dam Raceway prepares for a blockbuster weekend capped with a $20,000-to-win special.RIVER CITIES TICKETS (Fri, June 3) HUSET’S TICKETS (Sun, June 5) KNOXVILLE TICKETS (Fri-Sat, June 10-11) BEAVER DAM TICKETS (Fri-Sat, June 17-18)The three-week swing begins close to the home of 10-time World of Outlaws champion, Donny Schatz. The Fargo, ND native leads the Series to Grand Forks, ND for the First Leg of the Northern Tour at River Cities Speedway, where he owns a whopping 12 wins through 27 races at the track. The driver of the Tony Stewart Racing, Ford Performance, Carquest #15 will be chasing his 24th career victory in his home state.Most recently at the bullring, defending champion and current points leader Brad Sweet stole the win from Sheldon Haudenschild with a last-lap pass in August 2021. Prior to that, who could forget Kyle Larson’s stunning come-from-behind win to beat Logan Schuchart in the final corner in August 2020. Don’t count another last-lap pass out when the Series returns on Friday, June 3.The Series will take Saturday, June 4 as a travel day to head for Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, SD with a pre-race party planned at the track. That will also be the day that World of Outlaws announcer Johnny Gibson, team owners Tony Stewart & Dennis Roth, along with nine other worthy men, are inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in Knoxville, Iowa.Racing resumes on Sunday, June 5 as Huset’s offers a precursor to the $100,000-to-win High Banks Nationals coming later in the month on June 23-25. David Gravel, who pilots the Huset’s Speedway #2 for Tod Quiring of Big Game Motorsports, is the most recent winner, topping his boss’ track on two occasions in 2021. Aaron Reutzel took home $50,000 at the track last year, and also brings in former winners like Schatz (4), Haudenschild (1), and Sweet (1).An annual tradition, the Brownells Big Gun Bash returns to Knoxville Raceway on Friday & Saturday, June 10-11. For most World of Outlaws teams, this doubleheader is the only chance to turn laps on the iconic black zook clay before battling for the prestigious Knoxville Nationals in August.The full-timers will have to battle stout locals like Brian Brown, Austin McCarl, Davey Heskin, and Aaron Reutzel across the two nights of action at the 1/2-mile. Schatz (10 wins) and Sweet (3 wins) own the most “Non-Nationals” Outlaw wins at Knoxville, but recently sweeping performances by Kyle Larson in 2020 and Carson Macedo in 2021 have highlighted the June weekend.To cap off the three-week stretch, an extended stay at Wisconsin’s Beaver Dam Raceway awaits. Traditionally a one-day duel, SLS Promotions has upped the ante with a doubleheader on Friday & Saturday, June 17-18, offering $20,000-to-win the finale.Brad Sweet is tied with Daryn Pittman for the most World of Outlaws wins (4) at the track, but Sheldon Haudenschild’s NOS Energy Drink, Stenhouse Jr. / Marshall Racing #17 enters as defending winners at the Beaver Dam, WI oval.Fans who can’t make it to the track can catch all of the action on DIRTVision with the annual Platinum FAST PASS subscription for $299/year or the monthly FAST PASS subscription for $39/month.RIVER CITIES WINNERS (27 Races):12 wins – Donny Schatz 3 wins – Craig Dollansky 2 wins – Joey Saldana, Steve Kinser 1 win – Brad Sweet, Cody Darrah, Daryn Pittman, David Gravel, Kraig Kinser, Kyle Larson, Logan Schuchart, Sammy SwindellHUSET’S WINNERS (48 Races):9 wins – Sammy Swindell 8 wins – Mark Kinser 7 wins – Steve Kinser 4 wins – Donny Schatz 3 wins – Doug Wolfgang 2 wins – Craig Dollansky, David Gravel, Mark Dobmeier 1 win – Aaron Reutzel, Sheldon Haudenschild, Kyle Larson, Brad Sweet, Tim Kaeding, Brooke Tatnell, Terry McCarl, Brian Paulus, Stevie Smith, Dave Blaney, Bobby Davis Jr.KNOXVILLE WINNERS (148 Races, *Excluding Nationals):28 wins – Steve Kinser 24 wins – Sammy Swindell 14 wins – Danny Lasoski, Mark Kinser 11 wins – Doug Wolfgang 10 wins – Donny Schatz 9 wins – Jac Haudenschild 5 wins – Stevie Smith 3 wins – Brad Sweet, Craig Dollansky, Joey Saldana, Terry McCarl 2 wins – Brad Doty, Carson Macedo, Dave Blaney, Johnny Herrera, Kyle Larson 1 win – Bobby Davis Jr, Brian Brown, Brooke Tatnell, Danny Smith, Jason Meyers, Jeff Swindell, Keith Kauffman, Kerry Madsen, Kraig Kinser, Shane Stewart, Tim GreenBEAVER DAM WINNERS (29 Races):4 wins – Brad Sweet, Daryn Pittman 3 wins – Joey Saldana 2 wins – Craig Dollansky, Dave Blaney, Donny Schatz, Jac Haudenschild, Steve Kinser 1 win – Bill Balog, Danny Lasoski, Jason Solwold, Kraig Kinser, Mark Kinser, Shane Stewart, Sheldon Haudenschild, Tim Shaffer

FORT WORTH, TX – May 23rd, 2022  – Ryan Blaney won big after an overtime restart this weekend at the 38th running of the All-Star Race, netting a $1 million dollar payout. This was Ryan Blaney’s first win of the season after 3 poles and the 4th All-Star race win for Team Penske.

“Congratulations to Ford Performance, Roger, Jonathan, Ryan, and everyone at Team Penske for the race win and performance at Texas,” said Doug Yates, President and CEO of Roush Yates Engines. “Ryan and Jonathan did a great job with strategy and execution throughout the race to secure the win.”

“This Mustang was a rocketship. I am really glad we ended up winning that after that last caution. I am so proud of everybody. Tonight will be fun” commented Blaney.

8 Ford drivers were locked in to the All-Star race and Chris Buescher transferred in to the big race by winning Stage 2 of the All-Star Open. Team Penske was represented by Austin Cindric, Joey Logano, and Ryan Blaney while Stewart-Haas Racing had Kevin Harvick, Aric Almirola, and Chase Briscoe. Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing co-owner Brad Keselowski was in the field along with teammate Chris Buescher, and Michael McDowell from Front Row Motorsports for the second year in a row.  A total of twenty-four drivers competed for the All-Star win this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway, which consisted of three 25-lap stages, followed by a final 50 lap stage. With 8 laps to go in Stage 2, a large accident took out three front runners in the race and Austin Cindric took the lead, going on to win Stage 2. At the end of Stage 2 while under caution, Joey Logano and his team won the pit crew challenge, netting him a no-rush pit stop at the end of Stage 3. Ryan Blaney took the lead and won Stage 3 to give Team Penske a 1, 2, 3 start in the final segment. Blaney quickly pulled away from the field, leading a total of 84 laps of the 140 lap race. As Blaney came to the checkered flag, a final lap caution required an overtime finish. The end of the race came down to a battle between Blaney, Cindric, and Hamlin, but Blaney was able to pull away from the field once again and win the All-Star race.

Ford Performance teammates Austin Cindric and Joey Logano with Team Penske finished in P3 and P4, while Chris Buescher and Brad Keselowski with Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing finished in P8 and P9.

Riley Herbst with Stewart-Haas Racing finished P8 in Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series SRS Distribution 250 at Texas.

NASCAR Cup and Xfinity Series return next weekend to Charlotte Motor Speedway. The Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Sunday starts the second half of the 26-race regular season before the 10-race playoffs begin.

33 CHAMPIONSHIPS – 433 WINS – 390 POLES

Erb, Blair, Gustin, Clanton and more gear up for a potential $30K paydayHARTFORD, OH– MAY 23, 2022– A swing through the Northeast continues for the World of Outlaws CASE Construction Equipment Late Models as they prepare for a double-dip at Sharon Speedway in Hartford, OH. A potential $30,000 payday is up for grabs this weekend, kicking off on Friday, May 27, as the Series runs a 40-lap Feature paying $10,000-to-win.  The Most Powerful Late Models on the Planet return on Saturday, May 28 to wage war for 60 laps, and a $20,000 prize.  Joining the World of Outlaws CASE Late Models this weekend is the RUSH Sprint Cars on Friday, and the RUSH Sportsman Modifieds on Saturday.  TICKETS: https://bit.ly/3NsMCR9 If you can’t make it to the tracks, watch all the action live on DIRTVision – either online on with the DIRTVision App. Here are some of the storylines to keep an eye on this weekend: Championship Form: Dennis Erb Jr. continues to show why he’s the man to beat this season with the World of Outlaws CASE Construction Equipment Late Models.  Erb, along with 2021 Crew Chief of the Year Heather Lyne have been consistent since Sunshine Nationals at Volusia Speedway Park and continued that success last weekend with a win (Marion Center) and second (Bloomsburg).  The Carpentersville, IL driver holds a 100-point lead over Max Blair entering this weekend’s doubleheader.   Last season, Erb finished ninth in his only appearance at the track.  Looking to Strike: Max Blair has thrown every jab at Erb in the past few weeks, but still finds himself at a deficit heading into Sharon.  The Viper Motorsports entry is also coming off a strong weekend with a win (Bloomsburg), a third (Port Royal), and a ninth (Marion Center).  Blair had a top five run going in last year’s World of Outlaws event at Sharon before misfortune hit, causing him to cross the line 20th. However, he has found success at the track in the past, finishing third in a ULMS event last year.  Reaper’s Redemption: Perhaps no World of Outlaws CASE Late Models driver is looking forward to Sharon Speedway more than Ryan Gustin. The “Reaper” challenged 2021 NASCAR Cup Series Champion Kyle Larson in the closing laps of last year’s event—but ultimately fell short at the checkered flag.  The Marshalltown, IA driver is still searching for his first career World of Outlaws victory, and hopes for redemption this weekend at a place he had his Rocket Chassis rolling last season.  Hot Streaks: Erb and Blair aren’t the only drivers who have momentum entering this weekend’s events at Sharon Speedway.  Shane Clanton thrived in his return to World of Outlaws competition during the three-day Pennsylvania swing with two top 5’s and three top-10s, including a second at Marion Center Raceway.  Four-time Series champion Josh Richards also gained momentum with two podiums over the weekend, a sign the Houston, OH driver is moving in the right direction going forward.  Rookie of the Year contender Tanner English is another driver who ran well in Pennsylvania, grabbing three top 10’s. He currently sits third in points—144 points behind Dennis Erb.  A win by any of these drivers would be their first World of Outlaws victory of 2022.  Battling the Regional Stars: The World of Outlaw CASE Late Models drivers will once again battle regional drivers from both Pennsylvania and Ohio.  Last weekend, Jared Miley broke through at Port Royal for his first career World of Outlaws victory. It was redemption for the Pittsburgh, PA driver, who let a couple wins slip away in the past.  He’s one of many Pennsylvania drivers expected to join the Series at Sharon, including Chub Frank, 2011 Series champion Rick Eckert, Colton Flinner, and Gregg Satterlee who hope to defend their region again in World of Outlaws competition.  WHEN AND WHEREMay 27-28 at Sharon Speedway in Hartford, OHABOUT THE TRACKSharon Speedway is a 3/8-mile trackOnline – https://www.sharonspeedway.com   PREVIOUS WINNERS 2021- Kyle Larson on Aug. 21 2019- Brandon Sheppard on Aug. 30 2010- Darrell Lanigan on July 29 2009- Tim Fuller on July 25 2008- Donnie Moran on July 26 2007- Chub Frank on July 28 2006- Rick Eckert on July 8 2004- Davey Johnson on June 26 TRACK RECORD 14.842 by Brandon Sheppard on 4/21/21 On the Internet World of Outlaws CASE Late Models Series Twitter – Twitter.com/WoOLateModels – @WoOLateModels Instagram – Instagram.com/WoOLateModels – @woolatemodels Facebook – Facebook.com/WorldofOutlawsLateModelSeries YouTube – Youtube.com/WorldofOutlaws DIRTVision – DIRTVision.com – Platinum annual FAST PASS for $299 or monthly FAST PASS for $39/month Around the Turn: The Most Powerful Late Models on the Planet return to Illinois for the first time this season with a stop at Tri-City Speedway in Granite City, IL on Friday, June 3. Feature Winners: (14 Drivers) Rank- Driver- Hometown-WinsDale McDowell, Chickamauga, GA- 2 Jonathan Davenport, Blairsville, GA-2 Max Blair, Centerville, PA-2 Dennis Erb Jr., Carpentersville, IL-2Ashton Winger, Hampton, GA-1 Brandon Overton, Evans, GA-1 Chris Madden, Gray Court, SC-1 Michael Brown, Lancaster, SC-1 Tyler Erb, New Waverly, TX-1 Brandon Sheppard, New Berlin, IL-1 Ricky Weiss, Headingley, MB-1 Bobby Pierce, Oakwood, IL-1 Mike Marlar, Winfield, TN-1 Jared Miley, Pittsburgh, PA-1Heat Race Winners (34 Drivers) Rank- Driver- Hometown-WinsChris Madden-Gray Court, SC-7 Brandon Sheppard- New Berlin, IL-7Dale McDowell-Chickamauga, GA-6 Max Blair, Centerville, PA-6Mike Marlar, Winfield, TN-4 Ryan Gustin, Marshalltown, IA-4Devin Moran-Dresden, OH-3 Tyler Erb, New Waverly, TX-3 Jonathan Davenport, Blairsville, GA-3 Dennis Erb Jr., Carpentersville, IL-3Darrell Lanigan, Union, KY-2 Brandon Overton, Evans, GA-2 Ricky Thornton Jr., Chandler, AZ-2 Kyle Strickler, Mooresville, NC-2 Kyle Hammer, Clinton, IL-2 Ricky Weiss, Headlingley, MB-2 Shane Clanton, Zebulon, GA-2 Rick Eckert, York, PA-2Ashton Winger, Hampton, GA-1 Ross Robinson, Georgetown, DE-1 Mark Whitener, Middleburg, FL-1 Frank Heckenast, Jr., Frankfort, IL-1 Michael Brown, Lancaster, SC-1 Daulton Wilson, Fayetteville, NC-1 Ross Bailes, Clover, SC-1 Josh Rice, Verona, KY-1 Hudson O’Neal, Martinsville, IN-1 Stormy Scott, Las Cruces, NM-1 Bobby Pierce, Oakwood, IL-1 Chad Simpson, Mt.

Inside Line Promotions – PETALUMA, Calif. (May 23, 2022) – Dominic Scelzi earned his third consecutive King of the West-NARC Fujitsu Series feature triumph last Saturday, becoming the first driver to score three straight wins with the series since 2016.

Scelzi led all 30 laps at Petaluma Speedway, where he won for the first time. It marked the 18^th trip into the Winner’s Circle of his career with the series.

“I think we were fast at the beginning of the year, but we just weren’t able to get ourselves to Victory Lane,” he said. “The last couple of weeks I definitely feel like we’re back into the swing of things.”

Scelzi qualified fifth quickest to open the action last Saturday. He then finished where he started – third – in a heat race to advance into the dash.

“It all just came our way,” he said. “We went out early and the race track got faster as it went. We were fifth quick, which I was happy with. We started third in the heat race and we ran third, which tied us for sixth in points. Because we outqualified Bud (Kaeding) that put us in the dash. Then they drew the No. 6, which put us on the pole.”

Scelzi garnered the dash victory for the second time this season. That gave him the pole position for the main event.

“We got the lead on the start and really went unchallenged until about three laps to go,” he said. “I got stuck behind two lapped cars. The second-place driver got next to us coming down the frontstretch, but we were able to clear a lapped car going into the next corner to pull away for the win.”

The successful night pushed Scelzi’s lead in the championship standings to 27 points with a huge week on tap. Four races in four nights begins on Thursday at Southern Oregon Speedway in Medford, Ore. Willamette Speedway in Lebanon, Ore., hosts an event on Friday followed by a doubleheader at Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma, Wash., on Saturday and Sunday.

“I’m so excited,” he said. “I enjoy going to different places. I really like traveling and being able to go to places you don’t always hit. This will be a lot of fun. Any time you get to race four days in a row it’s bound to be a great time.

“A big thing for us is last year I felt like Speedweek was the defining moment of the year that got us out there in points where we had a really good cushion for the championship. This year it’s very early in the year so I don’t think it’ll be as much as a defining week as last year, but it’s more about staying away from fluke accidents. You’ll have to be consistent every night and hopefully take a couple of wins home. I haven’t won at any of the tracks we’re racing at so I’d love to be competitive and contend each night.”

QUICK RESULTS –

May 21 – Petaluma Speedway in Petaluma, Calif – Qualifying: 5; Heat race: 3 (3); Dash: 1 (1); Feature: 1 (1).

SEASON STATS –

20 races, 4 wins, 12 top fives, 14 top 10s, 17 top 15s, 17 top 20s

The activities will include a complete program of: Allstar Performance Time Trials, Heat Races, B-Mains, and a 40-lap, $6,000-to-win, $600-to-start main event. Drivers will earn points in each of the two preliminary nights; those points combined will determine the line-ups for Saturday night’s $50,000-to-win, $2,000-to-start finale. The Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds will be featured as the support class each night. Their activities on Thursday and Friday, May 26th-27th will feature a complete program of: Time Trials, Heat Races, B-Mains, and a 20-lap, $750-to-win main event each night. On Saturday night, consolation events for the Lucas Oil Late Models and the USRA Modifieds will be held, plus the Midwest Sheet Metal Show-Me Challenge.

Josh Richards came from the sixth starting spot to pass Brian Shirley on the sixth lap to dominate Friday Night’s Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson.

SALISBURY, NC – May 23, 2022 – An onslaught of rain and thunderstorms throughout the day has forced the postponement of the inaugural race for the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota Racing.

 The Holley NMRA Ford Nationals and Red Line Oil NMCA Muscle Car Nationals signed a three-year contract with the famed World Wide Technology Raceway as it continues building its presence in the St. Louis market through 2025. Be sure to block May 4-7, 2023 on your calendar as the official date for next year’s NMRA/NMCA Super Bowl of Street-Legal Drag Racing. “Chris Blair and his staff operate a world class facility and we’re thrilled to return in 2023. We moved our Super Bowl event there in 2020—at the height of the pandemic—and it was quite obvious World Wide Technology Raceway would be this historic event’s new home,” said Rollie Miller, General Manager and National Event Director at ProMedia Events & Publishing, the parent company of Holley NMRA Ford Nationals and Red Line Oil NMCA Muscle Car Nationals. The two leading street-legal drag racing associations recently completed the 17^thAnnual NMRA/NMCA Super Bowl of Street-Legal Drag Racing Presented by Fuelab where all category winners walked away with a Nitto Tire Diamond Tree ring—normally reserved for series champions. Over 500 race vehicles were entered in competition and occupied positions in 26 racing categories while nearly 200 custom cars stormed the show grounds for the UPR Products Show & Shine experience. One of the major highlights of the weekend was the TorqStorm Superchargers True Street cruise around the famed NASCAR oval, which is adjacent to the drag strip, as nearly 70 vehicles performed their required street cruise on the banks of the race track. For more information about the Holley NMRA Ford Nationals, visit www.NMRAdigital.com and for information on the Red Line Oil NMCA Muscle Car Nationals, surf over to www.NMCAdigital.com.

Indianapolis, Indiana, May 23, 2022 — DragonSpeed Cusick Motorsports will start the 106th Running of the Indianapolis 500 in the 33rd position. A mechanical issue in the morning practice session on Saturday necessitated an engine change, and while the crew made every effort to replace the power unit, inclement weather ended the day’s running early, meaning Stefan Wilson and the No. 25 DragonSpeed Cusick Motorsports Chevrolet were unable to set a qualifying time.   “We thought we could qualify in the 229-230 mph range, which would have been awesome for us,” said Wilson, who will contest his fourth Indianapolis 500 on Sunday this week. “But Chevy saw something in the first run in practice they didn’t like and we had to abort the run and replace the engine. At that point, we were really racing against the weather and we didn’t get to run, unfortunately. We’ve got to keep our chin up and look towards the practice sessions this week and the race this Sunday. We have to make the best of the situation.”

“We’re all disappointed not to post a qualifying time, but the race is what really matters and we are focused on maximizing the opportunity,” said Don Cusick, Founder and CEO of Cusick Motorsports. “The crew has done a fantastic job in refining the car as much as possible, which is nothing short of a heroic effort given the time constraints going into the event. We’ve been blown away by the support from fans, series stakeholders and our partners, all of which have spurred us on and motivated us even more. We’re ready for race day.”

Practice resumes today at 1:00 p.m. ET and Carb Day practice kicks off at 11:00 a.m. ET on Friday May 27th. Both practice sessions will be live on Peacock TV. Green flag for the 106th Running of the Indianapolis 500 flies at 12:45 p.m. ET on Sunday May 29th. Watch the race live on NBC and follow all on-track timing and scoring via the NTT IndyCar Series app.

(5/23/22) Sacramento, CA… The NARC Fujitsu General Sprint Cars haven’t visited the Pacific Northwest since 2012, but that will change in a big way this week as the series heads north for The Fastest Four Days in Motorsports.

The event will consist of four races in four days at three tracks in two states. The racing gets rolling Thursday, May 26th at Southern Oregon Speedway located in Central Point, Oregon. On Friday, May 27th it’ll be up to Lebanon, Oregon’s Willamette Speedway. The final two nights will both take place at Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma, Washington on Saturday, May 28th and Sunday, May 29th.  (Note: Monday, May 30th is a rain date if needed.)

The venture will be a lucrative one with all four Fujitsu Features awarding $5,000 to the winner. There is also a whopping $40,000 bonus on the line for any driver who can sweep the mini-speedweek, meaning they’d walk away with $60,000 total. If someone wins three of the four, they’ll earn an extra $5,000.

On Sunday in Elma before the racing there will be a Drivers BBQ Luncheon in the Borden Building followed by a parade through town featuring the NARC racers and teams. Full details on both events can be found below in the Fan & Competitor Info section.

Championship Chase

Heading into the FFDM, Dominic Scelzi extended his point lead to 27 markers courtesy of his third straight victory.

Tarlton Motorsport pilot, Mitchell Faccinto, continues to hold the runner-up spot with four top-fives through five races this season.

Eleven points behind Faccinto is Shane Golobic, and he’s got Willie Croft (two points behind) and Bud Kaeding (three points behind) pressuring him for the final spot on the points podium early in the season.

Full-time drivers Justin Sanders, Max Mittry, Billy Aton, Tim Kaeding and Joel Myers Jr. complete the top-10.

Californians Invade

Many of the NARC regulars from California have few or no starts at all at the Oregon and Washington ovals, but some of the drivers have had success in limited appearances up north and will look to bring the trophies back to the Golden State.

Colby Copeland has been one of the strongest drivers with NARC in 2022, and he’ll have a good chance to continue his impressive run. The Roseville native has won at two of the three tracks on the FFDM schedule, picking up Western Sprint Tour victories at both Oregon facilities. Copeland’s Willamette Speedway triumph came just last year.

Another driver with some impressive showings up north is Colfax’s Willie Croft. He owns a sprint car win at Grays Harbor Raceway. Back when NARC more frequently visited Oregon, Croft managed to make four series starts at Southern Oregon Speedway with a best showing of fourth and not finishing worse than seventh. He also picked up an ASCS Regional top-five at Willamette back in 2014.

Other California drivers expected to make the trip north for at least part of the trip include Fresno’s Dominic Scelzi, Hanford’s D.J. Netto, Benicia’s Billy Aton, Campbell’s Bud Kaeding, Hanford’s Mitchell Faccinto, Fremont’s Shane Golobic, Clovis’ Corey Day, Aromas’ Justin Sanders, Sebastopol’s Joel Myers Jr., Yuba City’s Landon Brooks,

Protecting Home Turf

While the NARC drivers from California will be tough to beat, the Pacific Northwest natives with more laps around the tracks will look to top them in front of their home fans.

Logan Forler may be focusing primarily on NARC in California this year, but he was born in Washington and has spent a good chunk of his career racing in the Pacific Northwest and will aim for some strong runs. The former ASCS standout has wins at both Grays Harbor and Willamette, and one of his two career NARC top-fives came at Southern Oregon Speedway in 2010.

After getting his first 410 engine at the start of last year, Jacksonville, Oregon’s Tanner Holmes has made strides and is looking for success at his home tracks. Holmes has won at both Southern Oregon Speedway and Willamette. He’s also had some solid runs with the Interstate Sprint Car Series up at Grays Harbor.

Central, Point Oregon native, Garen Linder, has been competing with NARC in California early this season and will look for some good results in more familiar territory. Linder has won at both Southern Oregon Speedway and Grays Harbor. He notched his best career NARC finish with an 11th-place effort in Tulare on night one of the Peter Murphy Classic and will almost certainly crack the top-10 on home turf.

Other drivers native to the Pacific Northwest expected to compete on at least one night include Harrisburg, Oregon’s Tyler Thompson, Puyallup, Washington’s Trey Starks, Burlington, Washington’s Jason Solwold, Lake Stevens, Washington’s Austen Wheatley and more.

Burlington, IA (May 22, 2022) – Defending Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion Tim McCreadie put on a dominating performance Sunday night at 34 Raceway in Iowa leading wire-to-wire in the CRST The Transportation Solution Inc. main event for his 30th career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory. McCreadie raced unchallenged for the last of the race and won the race by nearly 10 seconds, half-a-lap ahead of a tight finish for second between Brandon Sheppard and Earl Pearson Jr. Pearson closed in rapidly in the final two circuits on the current Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series points leader. Garrett Alberson, one of the five contenders for the O’Reilly Auto Parts Rookie-of-the-Year, had his best finish with the series taking fourth at the finish. Hudson O’Neal, who won at 34 in the last series appearance in 2019, came home in fifth. In a caution-free race McCreadie had no trouble negotiating lapped traffic as he lapped up to the ninth-place finisher. Sheppard tried to move to the top of the racing surface, but lost ground to McCreadie, who stayed glued to the bottom of the track. Pearson came on strong at the end and finished just one-car length behind the runner-up Sheppard at the checkers. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the second time in 2022 McCreadie thanked a multitude of people for getting him to the winner’s circle. “This speaks a lot for Longhorn Chassis. Justin Labonte and Steve Arpin in the shop. It hasn’t been easy for us this year. We have been working really hard trying other cars we have in the stable. We are just trying to get better. This car was spot on tonight. Early on I could roll through the middle there, unfortunately the top was really slimy over in three and four tonight it was kind of crowned off over there. The track crew did a really good job with what we had to work with. I appreciate that they had the track smooth. I know they were trying, I didn’t think it raced bad.” Sheppard crossed the line for another runner-up finish for the weekend after finishing second on Friday night at Farley to Tyler Erb. “Congratulations to Timmy he did a great job there. We had another solid night for us. I had a pretty good car there. I was moving around and trying everything. I think I got my tires overheated up top trying to hustle this thing. I moved down and I didn’t feel good on the bottom. I was moving around all over the place to figure out where I needed to be on the track. It was another solid night for this Rocket house car team.”  Looking for his 40th career series win, Pearson was edged out at the finish by Sheppard. “I did find a different line in traffic. I could get up high in one and two and get a run down the backstraight away. All-in-all 50 laps and no cautions I can’t say enough about what the track people here did. I appreciate all the fans coming out here on a Sunday afternoon to make this happen. We are proud to come home third here and hopefully it gives us some momentum heading into Wheatland.” The winner’s Donald and Gena Bradsher/Paylor Motorsports Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas, Mega Plumbing HVAC, Armslist.com, New Point Lighting and Design, Bilstein Shocks, Racing for Heroes, The Aesthetic Haus, Walker Performance Filtration, and Baker Mitchell Company. Completing the top ten were Bobby Pierce, Ricky Thornton Jr., Billy Moyer Jr., Tyler Erb, and Jimmy Owens.
