Buzz Wendzel, Salt Lake City, UT (September 5, 2010) After spending most of my Saturday at Miller Motorsports Park (MMP @ Grantsville, UT) attending the Bike Fest 2010 Bonneville Vintage GP/AHRMA motorcycle show and races, I almost reluctantly headed back into Salt Lake City to gear up for an evening of USAC oval-track racing at Rocky Mountain Raceway (RMR @ West Valley City, UT).

RMR mandates transponders on all the race cars and then uses the services of MyLaps Sports Timing to record the transponder telemetry. To time in the cars, the flagman and pit-steward put four or five race cars out on the track and then throw the green-flag for six laps...or as they refer to it: "European Timing System." I still prefer the old way of timing cars in one-by-one for two laps each.

At about 5:00 PM MDT and with the pavement pretty snot-slick from the hot sun, USAC FF Midget driver and current RMR points leader...Chuck Groat... qualified his #24 in at 15.250 (88.525 MPH) setting a new track record. The old record belonged to Chuck also @ 15.259 and was set exactly one year ago. The entire list of entries and qualifying are shown below.

At about 5:30 PM MDT and with the pavement still pretty snot-slick from the hot sun, USAC Sprint driver, past RMR track champion, and current RMR point leader...Jimmy Wysong... qualified his #00 in at 13.907 (97.073 MPH). The current record still belongs to Kody Swanson @ 13.582 when he set it over a year ago on 06/06/2009.

Car counts in both of these USAC classes at RMR seem to be down this year. The CA teams and drivers just are not showing up like they have in the past. However, there is one noted exception...that being 17-year old high school senior Luis Ramos III from Clovis, CA (near Fresno). Luis in his #21 sprint car is currently 3rd in points at RMR and 2nd in points in the USAC Western States Sprint Car division. Again, the entire list of entries and qualifying are shown below.

Here's one of those funny, but not so funny things that happened at RMR last night. Michael Straub was in his #11 sprint car and all lined up for his heat race. On the pace lap and as he was about to enter turn-one, his car jumped around a bit and then headed abruptly for the infield. Moments later the safety crew called for the ambulance. Mike was helped out of his car and walked very gingerly to the ambulance like a bow-legged cowboy. Yep, you guessed it! He experienced a drive shaft failure in the most painful way possible for a man. It turned out not to be that serious for Mike or his car, as both were back for the A-Main where he finished in 8th place. Way to play through the pain Mike!

Both USAC A-Main events were hard fought and accident free. The USAC 360 Sprint Cars return to RMR next Saturday: 9/11/2010. The USAC FF Midget series ends at RMR tomorrow night: 9/6/2010.

MRN Report
Posted Sunday, September 5, 2010

Steve Kinser and Joey Saldana have been neck and neck for most of the season in the World of Outlaws championship standings, as well as on the track and off the track in most statistical categories. That battle got even closer Saturday night at Skagit Speedway, as the duo traded the lead a couple of times at the high-banked three-tenths-mile bullring, with Kinser coming out on top in the $20,000 finale of the two-day show to move to within just six markers of Saldana in points as he chases his record 21st title.

Kinser led the first three laps from the pole, before Saldana charged around him on the high side of turn four on the fourth lap. Kinser retook the top spot on the 27th lap in heavy traffic and would lead the remaining 15 laps to score his first World of Outlaws A-Feature win at Skagit Speedway and his second overall triumph at the track adding to a preliminary feature win he had at the track in 1995. For the Hall of Famer, it was the 560th World of Outlaws A-Feature win of his illustrious career.

"It feels good to win," said Kinser. "We hadn't been running all that well since Knoxville, so yesterday we put together a car I had been running and we were able to get it dialed in pretty good. It had a good feel to it tonight and we put ourselves in a good position."

Kinser took the white flag as the leader when the final caution of the night flew, setting up a two-lap shootout with Saldana for the $20,000 top prize. The race was extended from the schedule 40-laps to 41 laps by way of World of Outlaws rules, which states that a race must end with two consecutive green flag laps. On the final double file restart, Kinser chose the low line as he did on each of the restarts he was out front for. The 20-time series champion used a strong restart to quickly jump to a five car-length lead and would end up winning by nearly a half-a-second in the Bass Pro Shops Maxim.

"I didn't want Joey (Saldana) to get a big run on me and put a slide job on in (turn) one or get a run on my on the top in three," he stated of the final restart. "Those were my only concerns. After the first lap I was pretty good. I got a little conservative. I knew he would have a hard time getting by me as long as I didn't make a big mistake."

Kinser has a close call on the 33rd lap when Travis Jacobson, Jesse Whitney and Sam Hafertepe Jr. got together right in front of him. He clipped one of the cars as he went to the high side of turn two to avoid the accident, suffering some damage to his front nose wing. During the red flag that followed that incident, his crew was able to make some repairs on his machine for the final few laps.

"It really didn't affect it too much," he said of the damage to the front of his machine.
"We were able to keep going and were all right. The car was pretty good all night long tonight."

Saldana led a total of 23 laps aboard the Budweiser Maxim as he rebounded from some bad luck while running second on Friday. For the second generation driver it was his 34th Top-Five finish of the season which has him tied with Kinser in that department as he continues to lead the series standings as he chases his first series title.

"We did everything right tonight," said Saldana. "The team has been doing a flawless job. You make a little mistake and you pay the price. Tonight for example we got in lapped traffic and I got in the fence and knocked my Jacobs ladder off and Steve (Kinser) definitely took advantage of that situation and beat me."

Paul McMahan had an epic battle with his teammate Saldana in the late going for the second spot and wound up coming home third in the Great Clips Maxim to earn his 23rd Top-Five of the season. He started 11th and steadily worked his way to the front, first finding the Top-Five on the 11th lap of the scheduled 40-lapper. He worked his way into third on the 18th go-around.

"It was a good run for us," McMahan said. "We had a great race car tonight. My guys bust their butts every day to get the race cars ready. We had a shot at Joey (Saldana) and Steve (Kinser) one time and the red came out and that kind of let those guys work on their race cars. We didn't really want to touch ours much because we had a good race car."

Saldana lined up on the high side of the track on the final double file restart, the same spot he started on each and every one of the four restarts. He looked high in turns one and two to no avail on the restart and looked low in both turns one and two and again in three and four on the white flag lap, but could not get a run on Kinser.

"That was really my only shot," shared the native of Brownsburg, Indiana of the final restart. "Once I knocked the ladder off the car was not stuck like it was before. I definitely needed that caution and the green-white-checker. We'll keep working hard and come back on Monday and see if we can get one."

McMahan, who ran second for a couple of laps lined up on the inside of the second row on the final double file restart and nearly got around Saldana for second coming off turn four and ended up dropping back a little bit on the final circuit.

"I wanted to get by Joey (Saldana) as fast I could to get a shot at Steve (Kinser)," noted McMahan. "I kind of squeezed Joey up by the fence and left him enough room to get by and he was able to drive back by me two times. If it wasn't a teammate, I probably would have squeezed him a little harder. We race hard and we race clean and it was a great overall night for Kasey Kahne Racing and this entire team."

Brad Sweet finished fourth in the Auto Value/Bumper to Bumper Maxim to score his best World of Outlaws finish of the season, also putting all three Kasey Kahne Racing cars in the Top-Five.

Jason Meyers came home fifth in the GLR Investments KPC to earn his 28th Top-Five finish of the season. The California native remains third in points, just 25 markers out of the top spot as he chases his first World of Outlaws title. He opened the night by turning the second fastest lap in time trials to earn four bonus points in the standings.

Jason Sides was sixth in the Wetherington Tractor Service Maxim, with Friday night's winner Jac Haudenschild coming from 19th to finish seventh in the Owens-Corning Fiberglass XXX to earn the KSE Racing Products Hard Charger Award. Kraig Kinser was eighth in the Quaker State Maxim, with Danny Lasoski ninth aboard the Casey's General Stores JEI. Kerry Madsen rounded out the Top-10 in the Halls Haulage KPC.

The World of Outlaws return to action on Monday, September 6 at Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma, Washington.

As the Summer Season gets closer to the end, the Championship battles are starting to finalize.
Angie Hayes jumped out to the early lead in the IMCA Modified feature, but Brett Smith got around Hayes. Dominic Ursetta powered his way into second and took the lead. Once Ursetta took the lead, he opened up a huge gap and powered his way to victory. Smith was second over Hayes, Brad Shelton and Eddie Belec. After the checkered flag, Zach Hilzer demonstrated his Modified aerobatic skills off turn 1, and walked away without injury. Ursetta took the track championship as this was the last points race for the Modified division.
　
Danny Concelman drew the pole for the Sport Mod main event and took off for another victory on his way to a track championship. Mike Ziegler was second over Rick Cuckow, Bob Goetschel and Brandon Williams.
　
Michael Craig took down Scott Northrop in the Street Stocks.
　
The Econo Stock feature started inverted with the fastest cars in the heat race starting in the back and working their way up. In the end, Todd Brotemarkle took the win over Ken Robbins, Loren Walker, Darrell Smith and AJ Meier.
　
John Symmes and Jacob Hazlett battled for the Hornet win with Symmes getting the trophy over Hazlett, Sean McFarland, Bronson Brannon and Rowdy Briggs.
　
The Dwarf Cars brought another great field of cars, but Andy Rogers took another win. Mark Ramey took second over Brad Bayne, Stu Carlson and Frank Beck.
　
Justin Duncan took the 250 Micro Sprint feature over Alex Chavez, Blaze Bennett, Bradley Duncan and Rob Stewart.

MRN Report
Posted Saturday, September 4, 2010

Jac Haudenschild and Tim Kaeding are certainly two of the most exciting drivers to ever climb into a sprint car, and on Friday night at Skagit Speedway in Washington, the pair lived up to this moniker, as they battled tooth and nail in heavy traffic in the opener of the World of Outlaws two-day event at the high-banked three-tenths-mile bullring.

Officially they traded the lead four times, but in one stretch of two laps they unofficially swapped the top spot five times, trading slide jobs on both ends of the race track. Haudenschild would end up coming out on top to earn his third A-Feature win of the season and his first career triumph at Skagit.

The win also came in his sixth race back since since being sidelined with a broken bone in his right hand.

"I'm glad to win an Outlaws race here at Skagit," said Haudenschild. "Steve Beitler had the track beautiful tonight. It was great to race on and our car was going good. The crew did a great job giving me a fast car tonight. It was a fun race up there with Tim (Kaeding)."

Haudenschild jumped to the lead at the start and had a few car lengths lead when the first caution of the night flew on the third lap. On the ensuing restart he chose the high line and again led the field into turns one and two, with Kaeding looking look in turns three and four to no avail.

The caution flag flew again on the 10th lap, with Haudenschild choosing the low line for the double file restart. Kaeding took the lead on this restart and would pace the next seven laps. In traffic Haudenschild caught back up to Kaeding and slid under him coming off turn four to take the top spot on the 17th lap. Kaeding would get back around him on the next lap to officially be credited with the lead, with Haudenschild getting back by him on the 19th lap on the back straightaway. Haudenschild would lead the final 12 circuits on his way to the win and led a total of 22 laps on the night in the Owens-Corning Fiberglass XXX.

"The car was good all night," stated Haudenschild. "You couldn't ask for a better car than that. We were good in traffic and in open track. It was a pleasure to drive, that's for sure."

The final caution of the night came with five laps remaining, with Haudenschild choosing the high side for the double file restart. He wound up choosing the high side twice on restarts and the low side once while out front. The Hall of Famer used a strong restart to pull away at the end.

Kaeding crossed the line second, but was disqualified for losing a muffler on the track on the final lap. By way of World of Outlaws rules, he was scored last in the 24-car field.

"I thought I could get off the bottom good enough to get it done, but the top was definitely faster," explained Haudenschild when asked about the final double file restart. "I just had to run my own line and get off the corner good."

Jason Sides ended up second in the Wetherington Tractor Service Maxim after starting fourth and falling back to seventh in the early laps. He restarted fourth on the final restart with five laps to go and shot by Steve Kinser for third. He snagged the runner-up spot coming off turn four to the checkered flag.

"We really didn't need that caution," Sides said. "We were going pretty good and I think we had something for them in traffic. In open track they kind of got away from us a little bit. Tim (Kaeding) hurt a motor there at the end and we got around him on the last corner of the last lap. All in all it was a good night for us."

Donny Schatz made a strong charge at the end after starting the 30-lap contest in the ninth spot. On the final restart he lined up on the outside of the third row and powered his way past Danny Lasoski and Steve Kinser en route to his 29th Top-Five finish of the season aboard the Armor All/STP J&J.

"We had a good car at the end and I'm looking forward to 40 laps tomorrow night," said Schatz. "This place is tricky and I'm glad to get a Top-Three. The car was real tight at the beginning and was a lot freer at the end. It was fun and I was able to gain some points on guys I needed to gain on, so we'll keep going."

Steve Kinser ended fourth in the Bass Pro Shops Maxim and gained 26 points in the World of Outlaws championship standings on Joey Saldana, who ended up 17th after getting on his side when he ran into Shane Stewart's stopped machine under caution. Saldana went to the work area where his team made quick repairs on the Budweiser Maxim to get him back out. Jason Meyers came home ninth and is currently 23 markers out of the lead as he chases his first series title.

Danny Lasoski picked up his second consecutive Top-Five finish in the Casey's General Stores JEI coming home fifth on Friday night. Jason Solwold was sixth in the Extreme Oilfield Technology Maxim. Sammy Swindell picked up the KSE Racing Products Hard Charger Award, coming from 18th to finish seventh in the Big Game Treestands Maxim. Jonathan Allard was eighth in the Red Line Oil A.R.T, with Meyers ninth aboard the GLR Investments KPC. Sam Hafertepe Jr. came from 17th to finish 10th in the Lone Star Speedway Maxim, after winning The Last Chance Showdown to race his way into the main event.

The World of Outlaws wrap up the weekend at Skagit Speedway on Saturday, September 4 with a $20,000 40-lap feature event. Saturday will be STP Hat Day at Skagit Speedway, with the first 1,000 fans through the gate beginning at 5 p.m. Pacific, receiving a free STP Hat.

At the risk of getting band from life in general i would like to ask those powers that be a few questions.

why dont we qualifiy the top 3 divisions like we used to? we used to pull out onto the track, park in the x and take our turn at cracking our fastest lap. the fans enjoyed it. the racers liked it. doesnt have to be every division, just which ever one of the top three are running.

practice? why not 15 minute sessions like we used to do? they gave the guy with the smaller crew time to work on his car. i have seen guys go out, turn some laps, come back in, get out of his car, adjust it, get back in and run 5 more laps and practice be over. that just plane sucks.

i got other questions but that where i will start.

MRN Report
Posted Thursday, September 2, 2010

Skagit Speedway in Washington was one of the tracks that hosted the World of Outlaws during the inaugural 1978 season and also the next year as well, and after a couple of hiatuses, the track has now become a staple during the Gold Rush Tour, with the series visiting the high-banked three-tenths-mile bullring each and every year since 2006. That tradition will continue this week, as the World of Outlaws visit the track located in the always scenic Pacific Northwest on Friday, September 3 and Saturday, September 4, with $20,000 awaiting the winner on Saturday night, with both nights being full racing programs.

Jason Meyers won the finale at Skagit Speedway last season to earn the $20,000 top prize, which at the time was the richest payday of his career. He has since matched that, winning the Ironman 55 last month to again pick up $20,000. The veteran has finished on the podium in each of his last four starts at the track. Meyers is currently third in points just 39 markers out of the lead as he seeks his first World of Outlaws title.

Joey Saldana was victorious in the opener at Skagit Speedway last season, recording a clean sweep of the night, which was the only clean sweep of the entire 2009 season with the World of Outlaws. He leads all current drivers at Skagit with three wins and has finished in the Top-10 in eight of his nine career starts at the track. He currently has a 36-point lead on 20-time World of Outlaws champion Steve Kinser in the series standings as he too chases his first title.

Kinser won a preliminary feature at Skagit Speedway in 1995. He has 11 career Top-10 finishes at the track dating back to 1978, with 10 of those being Top-Fives. He leads the series with 48 Top-10 finishes on the season and has picked up 32 Top-Fives as well.

Craig Dollansky won the finale at Skagit in 2007 and has seven career Top-10 finishes in nine starts at the track. He has won a couple of times this season and recently moved up to seventh in points.

Donny Schatz, the four-time and defending series champion, won a preliminary feature at the high-banked bullring in 2006. He has eight career Top-10 finishes in nine starts at the track.

The World of Outlaws competed at Skagit Speedway for the first time in the series inaugural season of 1978 with Hall of Famer Doug Wolfgang picking up a couple of wins. Nine different drivers have visited Victory Lane at the track in the 15 A-Feature events contested.

Saturday, September 4 is STP Hat Day at Skagit Speedway. The first 1,000 fans through the gate will receive a FREE hat, courtesy of STP. Gates will open at 5 p.m. Pacific on Saturday.

Bringing Hope to Children with Cancer and Life Threatening Diseases

August 25, 2010

Dear Potential Volunteer,
On behalf of the Shining Stars Foundation we would like to ask for your support at the 2010 Shining Stars Celebrity Race to be held at Colorado National Speedway on Saturday, September 11 from 4:30 to 10:00 p.m. The race is sponsored by a grant from the Tony Stewart Foundation and will benefit children ages 8-19 with cancer or other life threatening diseases and their families. Local celebrities, Kellie Macmullan from Channel 2 news and Ken Clark from Fox 31 News will be part of the racing team. The Stars and their families will be treated to VIP seating and dinner as well as presenting the winner of the race with the trophy on the race track. The race will be held during half time intermission and will also include a “pass the helmet” activity in the stands to raise money for these deserving children. We need help from volunteers to collect the money in the stands for a 15-20 minute period.

The Shining Stars Foundation provides sports, recreational, and outreach programs for children with cancer and life threatening diseases at no cost to the child or the family. Working in partnership with oncology hospitals and medical professionals, the Foundation offers a week long winter camp and summer camp as well as monthly family reunion events. These activities bring hope and the will to live to these children who face very invasive medical treatments. The reunion events create a support network for these families so that they can share their experiences and lean on each other in times of need.

The Celebrity Race, sponsored by a grant from the Tony Stewart Foundation, is one of these very special reunion events.

Please consider helping us at this fun event for the Shining Stars and families. The Shining Stars Foundation is proud to be in the top 1% nationally in non profit spending. Ninety-five percent of every dollar received goes to funding the children’s programs.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
　
Kathy Gingery
Executive Director

EUREKA, CALIFORNIA (September 2, 2010) – Joe McDonald drove to one of his biggest career victories on Saturday night, dominating the main event over a 12 car field for the Sportsman division at Redwood Acres Raceway in Eureka, Calif.

The win was a nice preview of things to come with the Redwood Acres Raceway Fall Spectacular with the Airport Auto Brokers Late Model Series coming up September 25 and 26.

Behind the wheel of the #09 Humbolt County McDonalds Chevrolet, McDonald rolled off the grid eighth.

After avoiding several early crashes, McDonald went to battle with Angelo Marcelli for the race lead. On lap five, McDonald took the lead from Marcelli.

McDonald pulled away to an impressive lead of almost half a lap before the caution came out on lap 20 for a spin deep in the pack.

On the restart, McDonald again stormed away from the pack on the three-eighths mile oval, pulling away by three car lengths into turn one. A caution for a mutli-car crash brought the field back together, but McDonald again roared away from the pack.

McDonald cruised to an impressive straightaway win and won the six foot tall trophy that went with it.

“This was a great win for me after a few weeks away from the track,” McDonald said. “We have this #09 car dialed in and I feel very confident we can contend for the win in the Fall Spectacular.”

Joe McDonald Motorsports is sponsored by the following Humbolt County businesses: Humboldt County McDonalds, Leon’s Car Care Center, Furniture Design Center, Henderson Center Bicycles, and Frank Jager for Eureka Mayor.
