CHP OFFICERS ADMITTED FREE TO SATURDAY’S SALUTE TO INDY SPRINT CAR RACE
AT PERRIS!
(Perris, CA, May 21, 2019) This Saturday night when Perris Auto Speedway
hosts the annual “Salute to Indy” for the Amsoil USAC/CRA Sprint Cars,
all active and retired California Highway Patrol Officers will be
admitted to the race for free. All they have to do is show their CHP
badge at the ticket window and they will be given a free ticket. Once
inside, the officers will have someone to cheer for as second-year CHP
officer Jeff Dyer will be racing in the show.

The idea of admitting CHP members free came about when it came to light
that Dyer, who was born in West Covina and went to Lutheran High in La
Verne, recently received an award from “Mothers Against Drunk Drivers” (M.A.D.D.)
for stopping and arresting 58 drunk drivers in 2018.
“We heard of the great award Jeff received for keeping us safe and
protected while we are on the road,” promoter Don Kazarian said. “He is
not the only one out there. We want to show all CHP officers that we
appreciate the job they are doing, so we have decided to let them in
free on Saturday. And, they get to come watch one of their own racing
on the track.”
Many think of sprint cars as the most dangerous form of auto
racing. For Dyer, who now resides in Bermuda Dunes, sprint cars are a
walk in the park. Before becoming a CHP officer in 2017, he performed
one of the most dangerous jobs in the United States Army. He was an
Explosive Ordinance Disposal team leader. In other words, for 13-years
he disarmed bombs and explosives for a living, and in that time served
multiple tours of duty in Afghanistan and Iraq.
“It is a cool thing that the “Mothers Against Drunk Drivers” have a good
program out there,” Dyer said. “I was honored to receive the award and
it feels good that they recognize people who are out there working
hard. I wish I did not have to arrest anybody, but it is nice to get
the people who have had too much to drink and decided to make a poor
decision off the road.”
While Dyer enjoyed the Army life, he had a couple of dreams he wanted to
fulfill. One was racing a sprint car, which he now does for car owner
Cal Smith in the USAC/CRA Series and in his own car in the California
Lightning Sprint Car Series. Unlike many who dream of racing, he had no
ambitions to drive in NASCAR or Indy Cars. Going to Ascot when he was a
child, all he ever wanted to race was sprint cars.
The other dream he had was driving a CHP cruiser.
“Yes, that is true,” Dyer laughed when asked about his dreams. “I love
my job. The best part of it is getting to help stranded
motorists. Also meeting people and the feeling of a sense of
worth. Likewise, I love racing in both the USAC/CRA Series and the
California Lightning Sprint Car Series.”
Spectator gates for Saturday’s race will open at 5:00 P.M. and the first
200 fans through the front gate will receive a free stadium cup courtesy
of the American Cancer Society. The first race will take the green flag
at 7:00.
Tickets for Saturday’s race are $25.00 for adults. Seniors 65 and over
get in for $20.00. For active military with proper id and their spouse
or date, it is $5.00 each. Teens 13-18 with their school id and kids
6-12 get in for $5.00. Children 5 and under are free. Parking on the
fairgrounds is $8.00.
Camping on the fairgrounds opens at noon on Friday. Tailgating on the
grassy area outside of turn four begins at 1:00 P.M. on Saturday.
Advance tickets for all Perris Auto Speedway events are available
24-hours a day online at https://bit.ly/2Aa50Lj
or by calling 1-800-595-4849. If you do not wish to buy tickets in

the ticket window on race night.

Randy Hewett Returns to
Carteret County After Offseason Stroke
Randy Hewett, right, is given donations
raised by Kris Hetu (center) and a door from Chris Burns signed by his
competitors during a race on April 27, 2019. (Andy Marquis photo)
PELETIER, NC –
Randy Hewett is thankful to be alive and is excited to get back on track at
Bobby Watson’s Carteret County Speedway. On Sunday night, he will make his
return during the Sportsman’s Wholesale Mini-Stock portion of the WITN
Memorial Classic.
Hewett, 48, from
Supply, North Carolina, was sidelined for the first four weeks after
suffering two mild strokes during the offseason. After a medical procedure
was done a couple weeks ago to fix an aneurysm, he’s feeling healthy and is
ready to go racing on Sunday night.
“I had two
strokes,” Hewett said. “They were small strokes but they were strokes
nevertheless. They found out I had an aneurysm behind my eye. Wednesday
before last, they operated on me and fixed it. They put titanium steel in
there and took care of it. I feel 100 percent now.”
Hewett has been a
regular in the Mini-Stock division at Carteret County Speedway for years.
However, he was forced to miss the first four races. Despite being out of
the car, the racing community rallied around him.
During the Clash
at the Coast on April 27th, fellow Mini-Stock racer Kris Hetu walked around
the pits raising money for Hewett while Late Model competitor Chris Burns
donated a door from one of his Late Model bodies which was signed by all the
racers. After scoring a podium finish in the Clash, Hetu presented the door
and the money to Hewett in victory lane.
“I can’t thank
everybody enough for what they’ve done,” Hewett remarked. “It was wonderful
what they did, not just the money that they raised, but the gesture. The
door is hanging in my trailer. It’s a family here. Chris Burns asked about
me a little while ago when he pulled in.”
Hewett found his
happy place on Saturday, despite some mechanical issues, as he logged his
first laps of the year in preparation for Sunday’s Memorial Classic. For
Hewett, like many other racers, being in the cockpit of his racecar
seemingly cured all his ills.
“It feels really
good to be in the car,” Hewett commented. “This is the best I’ve felt
inside the racecar for two or three years. I’m just ready for next weekend.
Hewett turned
some of the quickest laps he’s run at Carteret County Speedway and is
optimistic he can have a good run.
“I’m looking to
win. I just ran an 18.90 which is pretty good for here. I did it on old
tires. If we can get the motor back together, I’m looking for at least a
top-three on Sunday. I’ve never finished in the top-three [at Carteret
County]. Fourth is my best finish. I’ve got a bunch of fourth place
finishes but I think it’s time to step up and get the job done.”
Hewett has been
racing since 1993, starting out at Myrtle Beach Speedway in South Carolina.
Like many other racers, it was something that he was born into.
“My dad, Jimmy
Hewett, raced dirt Late Models before I was born,” Hewett explained. “I
just followed after him. He dragged me around in diapers at the racetrack
and one thing led to another, and here I am. The first year I raced was in
1993 at Myrtle Beach Speedway. I’ve got some wins there but don’t have any
wins anywhere else so I want to change that.”
Hewett will
compete in his no. 55 car in the Sportsman’s Wholesale Mini-Stock Division
in Sunday night’s WITN-TV Memorial Classic presented by Moore’s Old-Tyme
Barbeque Chicken & Seafood. Late Models, Legends, U-CARs, Champ Karts,
Bandoleros and the Southern Ground Pounders will also be in action.
Festivities at
Carteret County Speedway get underway at 6pm with the meet-and-greet and the
Tribute to America pre-race show. Green flag racing will get underway at
7:15pm. Tickets are $15 for adults while kids 10 and under get in free.

AGCO Jackson Nationals
Rising Toward the Top of Winged Sprint Car Racing Events
Inside Line Promotions - JACKSON, Minn. (May 20, 2019) - It hasn't taken
long for the AGCO Jackson Nationals to become one of winged sprint car
racing's biggest events of the year.
As the facility and race track have undergone extensive renovations
during the last few years, so has the marquee World of Outlaws NOS Energy
Drink Sprint Car Series event. This year's 41st edition of the tripleheader
runs June 27-29.
It offers one of the largest payouts in the sport with more than $300,000
on the line. Both preliminary nights pay $10,000 to win and the finale is
$41,000 to win and $3,000 to start.
The event is in its fifth consecutive year of having 410ci winged sprint
cars as the featured division and during each of the previous four seasons a
different winner has emerged. Donny Schatz claimed last year's event title
with Brad Sweet winning in 2017, which was the first year it was sanctioned
by the World of Outlaws. Kerry Madsen was victorious in 2016 and Sammy
Swindell captured the crown in 2015.
On top of the action on the track, there are plenty of activities during
that weekend to entertain the fans.
It begins with a hauler parade on Wednesday, June 26, at 6:30 p.m., which
will be followed by the Fan Fest. Race cars will be on display along with a
$5 Burger Bar and live music from Hicktown Mafia starting at 8 p.m.
AGCO will host an open house on Friday, June 28, at the Intivity Center.
MRN's Winged Nation will be on hand showcasing driver interviews and fans
can tour the AGCO factory.
Jackson Motorplex is offering a Meet-and-Greet of several track Hall of
Fame members on Saturday, June 29, in the afternoon behind the main
grandstand.
There are additional activities and games that are in the works and will
be announced in the near future.
AGCO Jackson Nationals tickets are available at
http://www.JacksonMotorplex.com or by
calling 507-822-7314.
This season's first two scheduled events at Jackson Motorplex have been
cancelled because of the weather. The track is off this weekend before

Hybrids and NSL non-wing sprint cars presented by HitchDoc on May 31.

JACKSON MOTORPLEX -
TONY HULMAN CLASSIC PREVIEW - MAY 22
By: Richie Murray – USAC Media
Terre Haute, Indiana (May 19, 2019)………No single race has a
longer tenure on the USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car schedule than the “Tony
Hulman Classic” at western Indiana’s Terre Haute Action Track.
The grand event arrives at its 49th annual edition on
Wednesday, May 22, at the legendary half-mile dirt oval at the Wabash Valley
Fairgrounds with five former winners gunning to grab the coveted rifle
awarded to the race winner.
Tyler Courtney is the defending winner of the “Hulman
Classic,” leading the final nine laps after sliding by Chase Stockon in turn
one on a late-race restart that came just moments after he almost saw his
bid for a first victory at Terre Haute vanish before his eyes.
While running second late in the going, Courtney took evasive
action to avoid a flipping lapped car. Courtney, of Indianapolis, Ind.,
didn’t get away completely unscathed. Courtney bounced his right rear off
the flipping car but motored on with just a bent wheel cover.
In the post-race festivities, the traditional rifle was the
first time Courtney had ever held a gun in his life. As it turned out,
Courtney was on the hunt to bag more victories at Terre Haute, which he did
again during last summer’s “Indiana Sprint Week,” before rounding out the
Terre Haute season with a seventh place run last September.
Steve Butler (1987-88), Levi Jones (2008-09) and Robert
Ballou (2015-16) are the only previous drivers to have gone back-to-back to
victory lane at the “Hulman Classic.” Courtney just recently won the round
at Eldora for his first win of the season in five attempts and appears prime
to make a bid for consecutive wins.
But, several others are also in that same boat. Ballou, of
Rocklin, Calif., set fast time during qualifying of last Fall’s Terre Haute
visit and is looking for his first win of the year as is 2017 “Hulman
Classic” winner Kevin Thomas, Jr. of Cullman, Ala. who has three runner-up
finishes in five starts this season. Dave Darland of Lincoln, Ind. earned
his first career USAC win during the 1993 “Hulman Classic” before waiting 21
years to do it again by winning in 2014.
Canton, Ill. driver Chris Windom has a “Hulman Classic” win
in his back pocket, taking the 2011 race. He was victorious in the season
opener in Ocala, Fla. to get the year started off on the right foot with his
new Goacher Racing team. In fact, Windom has a total of five USAC wins at
the Action Track, four total in National Sprint Cars and one in Silver
Crown.
Bacon’s win at Terre Haute late last year isn’t the only one
on his resume. The Broken Arrow, Oklahoma native’s first one came in 2014,
one of four occasions the Dynamics, Inc. No. 69 has gone to victory lane at
Terre Haute, along with Robbie Stanley in 1993, Tracy Hines in 2003 and
Jerry Coons, Jr. in 2010, the latter of which is team's lone "Hulman
Classic" score.
Fort Branch, Indiana’s Chase Stockon has tallied a pair of
USAC Sprint wins at Terre Haute, in 2012 and 2016. He’s itching to get his
first series victory of the year and is fourth in the standings, 51 points
behind point leader C.J. Leary, Kevin Thomas, Jr. and Tyler Courtney.
Leary, of Greenfield, Indiana, hasn’t yet won a USAC Sprint
race at Terre Haute, but did reach the promised land in a Silver Crown car
there, taking the 2016 “Sumar Classic” for his first win in that division.
Justin Grant, who Leary passed late in the going that particular day, is
also seeking USAC Sprint win number one at Terre Haute after winning the
“Sumar” in 2018.
Broken Arrow, Oklahoma’s Jason McDougal finished in the
top-two in each of his first two Terre Haute appearances last season, a
seventh in July and a 10th in September. Carson Short, of Marion, Ill., has
set fast time twice already this year and finished fifth last weekend in his
most recent outing at Eldora.
Chad Boespflug, of Hanford, Calif., came oh-so-close to his
Terre Haute breakthrough in late-2016, coming up three laps short of victory
and finishing second behind Windom. Willow Branch, Indiana’s Isaac Chapple,
meanwhile, is coming off his best run of the season, an 18th to 10th run
last weekend at Eldora that netted him hard charger honors.
“Tony Hulman Classic” activities get underway with pits
opening at 3pm eastern, drivers meeting at 6pm and cars on track at 6:30pm,
with qualifications and racing to immediately follow. Tickets are $25 for
adult general admission and $15 adult infield tickets. Children 11 and
under are FREE! Pit passes are $30 for members and $35 for non-members.
A great deal is available for those who don't want to miss a
single lap of "The Week of Indy.” A Superticket is being sold for a savings
of 25% off of the regular three-day prices for the Wednesday, May 22 “Tony
Hulman Classic” for USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Cars at the Terre Haute
Action Track, the Thursday, May 23 “Hoosier Hundred” for USAC Silver Crown
at the Indiana State Fairgrounds and on Friday, May 24 for the Dave Steele

Super Late Models Race Into Town Friday At Lincoln Speedway
(Lincoln, IL) The always popular Super Late Models are set for their first of two appearances at Lincoln Speedway, in Lincoln, IL, this coming Friday, May 17. It also marks the 2019 opener for the Midwest Big Ten Super Late Model tour, after the original opener was rained out at Belle-Clair Speedway. Four other racing divisions will join the Super Late Models on Friday night.
The Midwest Big Ten Super Late Models have a ten event schedule with events at Lincoln Speedway and Highland Speedway this weekend. In addition, events are scheduled to be held at Macon Speedway, Jacksonville Speedway, Spoon River Speedway, and Belle-Clair Speedway throughout the course of the summer months. Friday’s Lincoln event will be a tune-up for the highly attended June 30 Summer Nationals event at the track.
Last season, Fairview Heights, IL’s Daryn Klein, claimed the victory in the Super Late Model shootout at the track over Michael Kloos, Rickey Frankel, Rusty Griffaw, and hometown favorite, Myles Moos. 19 drivers took the green. Rain claimed the 2017 event, while Rich Bell bested a field of 22 cars in 2016. 2018 point champion, Jose Parga, of New Berlin, IL, is expected to be on track to start his title defense.
While the DIRTcar Pro Late Model division is not scheduled to run this Friday night, a number of drivers in the class may take advantage of the chance to compete with the Supers and gain valuable track time. A $100 bonus has also been put up for the top finishing Pro Late Model competitor. The event pays $1500 to win and $150 to start.
The DIRTcar Modifieds will be running for the fourth time this season as last year’s champion, Brian Lynn, leads the field. Lynn, of Mason City, IL, has three top fives and a feature win and has built a 16 point lead. Tommy Sheppard, Jr. is second in the standings, while Ray Bollinger is third, Austin Lynn fourth, and Jared Thomas fifth. In addition to Lynn’s win, Bollinger and Rick Conoyer have found victory lane. NASCAR's Kenny Wallace has also announced he'd be back this Friday night to compete with Lincoln Speedway's strong field of Mods.
The DIRTcar Street Stocks are back for another event at the track. While the Street Stocks don’t compete for official championship points at the track, Terry Reed, of Decatur, IL has had a good start at the speedway with the most consistent finishes so far this year. Darrell Dick, Andy Zahnd, Rudy Zaragoza, and Braden Bilger have also faired well in the two races at the track. Jeremy Nichols won the Midwest Stock Car Tour event, while Nick Macklin claimed the Big Ten win.
Mason City, IL’s Andy Baugh leads the field of Nutech Seed DII Midgets coming into the fourth night of action. Baugh has won two of the three features but came up short in the most recent event as Karter Sarff took the win. Brandon Smith, Patrick Ryan, Mark McMahill, and Jeff Sparks round out the top five in standings. The Nutech Seed Front Row Challenge will be $300 for a driver that accepts the challenge and can win from the back on Friday night.
The final division on the Friday night docket will be the DIRTcar Hornets. Pekin, IL’s Danny Oates is off to a great start, holding the point lead by two after grabbing three top five finishes. Eric Vanapeldoorn, who has won two of the three features is second in points, while Cook Crawford, Carter Dart, and Brady Reed are top five competitors.
Grandstand admission for Friday’s event is just $15 for adults and free for kids 11 and under. Parking is also free. Pits open at 4:00, grandstands at 5:00, hotlaps will start at 6:00, and racing will begin at 7:00 PM.

Extends
Thoughts
and
Prayers

-
JACKSON,
Minn.
(May 12,
2019) -
Everyone
within
the
Jackson
Motorplex
community
is
deeply
saddened
at the
recent
and
unexpected
passing
of Chuck
Zitterich.
Zitterich
was the
race
director
at the
track
for the
last
three
seasons
and he
also ran
the
National
Sprint
League
for two
seasons
among
many
other
duties
throughout
his
respected
time as
a race
official
and
director.
"Chuck
was not
only our
race
director,
he was
our
leader
in the
pits,"
Jackson
Motorplex
General
Manager
Doug
Johnson
said.
"He
commanded
everyone's
respect
and in
return
everyone
respected
Chuck
for the
job that
he did.
He was
the rock
of our
pit
area.
"Chuck's
passing
is a
huge
loss not
only for
Jackson
Motorplex,
but for
the
entire
sprint
car
community.
We want
to
express
our
deepest
sympathy
to
Sonja,
the kids
and the
entire
Zitterich
Family.
Sprint
car
racing
in the
Upper
Midwest
would
not be
where it
is today
without
the
efforts
of Chuck
Zitterich
and we
cannot
thank
him
enough
for
those
efforts.
Rest in
Peace,
Chuck."

AMSOIL USAC
EASTERN
STORM
QUICKLY
APPROACHES,
THUNDER
SERIES OPENS
AT GRANDVIEW
SPEEDWAY
TUESDAY
NIGHT, JUNE
11
BECHTELSVILLE,
PA (MAY 11,
2019) – The
stars of the
Amsoil USAC
Non-Wing
Sprint
National
Tour only
come east
one time per
year and it
all kicks
off on
Tuesday
night, June
11 at the
Grandview
Speedway in
Bechtelsville,
PA. The
13th Annual
USAC Eastern
Storm will
invade “the
hill” as the
first event
of the NAPA
Auto Parts
Thunder on
the Hill
Racing
Series with
the hefty
$10,000 to
win Jesse
Hockett
Classic.
This eye
catching
first place
prize is
part of the
30th
Anniversary
celebration
for the
Thunder on
the Hill
Racing
Series.
Joining the
USAC
Non-Wing
sprints are
the popular
NASCAR 358
Modifieds.
Gates open
at 5 PM with
qualifying
getting
underway at
7:30 PM.

If you have
never seen
the AMSOIL
USAC
Non-Wing
sprints at
Grandview,
it’s a must
see event.
The non-wing
USAC
National
Tour are
just perfect
for the
one-third
mile high
banked oval
nestled on
top of the
hill in
Bechtelsville,
PA. Even
time trials
are a thrill
as the
non-wing
sprints show
wheelies and
use so much
of the race
track that
they are
bouncing off
the outside
boiler-plate
wall.
This event
is dedicated
a “classic
event” to
honor
all-time
sprint car
great Jesse
Hockett.
Many us
remember
that special
night on the
hill, when
Jesse won
both twin 20
lap USAC
features,
thrilling
the
Grandview
fans in
2009. In
2010, just
prior to the
Eastern
Storm,
Hockett
succumbed to
injuries
suffered in
a race shop
accident.
Levi Jones
won the
first Jesse
Hockett
Classic in
2010.
The boys of
Summer
celebrate
our great
nation on
Tuesday,
July 2 with
410 Sprint
Cars
competing
for $10,000
to win the
twenty-fifth
Grandview
Speedway
Pennsylvania
Sprint Car
Speed Week
event.
NASCAR Cup
Series star
Kyle Larson
has put the
PA Posse in
their place
for two
consecutive
seasons, but
a strong
field of
local
competitors
plans to
keep that
cash on home
turf. Look
for local
favorite
Ryan Smith
to hunt down
and capture
that first
career
Thunder
victory
wheeling the
Mike Heffner
sprint car
in the new
season.
The debut of
the NOS
Energy Drink
USAC
National
Midgets
takes place
on Tuesday,
July 30.
For years
fans have
begged,
bargained,
and pleaded
for the
Midgets on
the
Bechtelsville
high banks
and there’s
no better
time than
the 30th
Anniversary
season of
Thunder on
the Hill.
Many of the
same USAC
Sprint Car
stars will
strap into
midgets for
this event
like Brady
Bacon and
Kevin
Thomas,
Jr.
The 5th
Annual Levan
Machine
Truck
Equipment
Thunder Cup
event brings
the Ollie’s
Bargain
Outlet All
Star Circuit
of Champions
to the
one-third

A highlight
of the

pay homage
to the late
Greg Hodnett,
with a
special
memorial
trophy.
The 358
Modifieds
will
co-headline
all of the
previously
mentioned
events,
competing in
30 lap
events for
$3,000 to
win and
lucrative
NASCAR
points.
Grandview’s
premier
weekly
division
always
thrills the
crowd with

MOUNTAIN
CREEK
SPEEDWAY
ANNOUNCES
NEW EVENT
PARTNERS,
STAFF FOR
CLASH AT THE
CREEK
CATAWBA, NC
(May 10,
2019) -
Mountain
Creek
Speedway
today
announced
two key
partners of
their annual
outlaw kart
showcase
event. The
newly-rebranded
Nitro
Karting
Clash at the
Creek
presented by
QRC rolls
off May 19
with title
sponsorship
from two
giants in
outlaw
karting,
Nitro
Karting and
QRC Karts.
Nitro
Karting is
based in
Mooresville,
North
Carolina,
and
manufactures
a wide
variety of
components
found in the
pits of any
major
karting
event
including
gears, pit
tools,
smaller
karting
components
and trailer
accessories.
Red Bluff,
California's,
QRC Karts
has over
three
decades of
outlaw kart
manufacturing
experience,
essentially
building the
discipline
in its early
years with
their
innovations
and
involvement
in the
sport.
"Our goal
since last
year's
inaugural
Clash was to
continue to
build the
event and
improve it
every single
year," said
Adam Stewart
of Mountain
Creek
Speedway.
"With
everything
that has
finally come
together in
the last few
weeks,
racers and
fans should
be
optimistic
for not only
this year's
event, but
also future
editions of
the Clash.
We've got a
lot of great
people
beginning to
take
interest and
get involved
in what's
going on
here in
Catawba
County."
In addition
to new event
partners,
MCS also
announced
the race
director for
this year's
event. Known
for his
long-time
involvement
in outlaw
karting
around Red
Bluff and
other areas
on the west
coast,
Christopher
Rowling
(better
known to his
contemporaries
as "Topher")
has been
retained to
run the May
18-19 event.
Rowling has
been active
in outlaw
karting
events on
the west
coast for
years and
has also
worked in
the
industry's
manufacturing
and
distribution
side, giving
him an
in-depth
understanding
of the sport
from all
angles.
Adding to
the event's
momentum in
only its
second year,
MCS has
announced
two of its
contingency
partners for
the event,
Sparco USA
and Van-K
Wheels.
Sparco is a
leading
manufacturer
of safety
equipment
and Van-K
manufactures
a
substantial
portion of
the aluminum
wheels used
on various
race
vehicles
including
karts and
outlaw karts
like those
which will
be racing
during the
2nd Annual
Nitro
Karting
Clash at the
Creek
presented by
QRC.
"We're
really
looking
forward to
this year's
event,"
Stewart
continued.
"Our phone
is ringing
with
competitors,
sponsors,
fans, and
I'd like to
believe this
is quickly
becoming a
showcase
race for
outlaw
karts. We've
got a
slimmed down
schedule
with more
racing and
racers who
are excited
for the
event again,
that's
always a
good thing.
We certainly
are
appreciative
of
everyone's
support."
The Clash at
the Creek
hits the
track on the
morning of
May 18 with
preliminary
activities
scheduled
for the day.
On Sunday,
May 19, the
featured
open
division
hits the
speedway for
their entire
racing
program
including
qualifying,
heats and
feature
contests.
Intermediate
karts will
also be
racing in
addition to
features to
the
beginners
and the box
stock
competitors.
Sunday's
program will
be televised
LIVE on Pit
Row TV (
www.pitrow.tv).

Will Bristle Expecting Strong
Performance in Carteret Shootout
PELETIER, NC – Will Bristle has had
a lot of success at Bobby Watson’s
Carteret County Speedway and he’s
hoping to add one more Carteret
trophy to his mantle on Saturday
night in the $2,500-to-win Short
Track Shootout.
Bristle, 18, from Raleigh, North
Carolina has scored multiple
victories at Carteret County
Speedway – including a victory in a
$2,500-to-win race in last year’s
Labor Day Classic. Saturday night,
however, could be one of the biggest
challenges he’s faced as an
ultra-competitive field is set to
converge upon Carteret County
Speedway.
“A win this weekend would definitely
be ranked pretty high up there with
that strong competition coming in,”
Bristle said. “We have been very
successful at Carteret in the past.
We plan on working on that and
keeping the momentum going.”
While the $2,500 check that will go
to the winner is incentive enough
for many competitors, Saturday
night’s event will also be a prime
opportunity for racers to get dialed
in for the INEX Legends Asphalt
Nationals, the largest Legends event
in North America, which will be held
from October 17th through
October 19th at Carteret
County Speedway.
“The money’s a really big factor
that we’re going for,” Bristle
remarked. “We’re definitely
expecting a lot of tough competition
coming own. Preparing for the
Nationals as well. It’s what we’re
all here doing. We want to find
some good speed for the Nationals.
We’re expecting upwards of 150 cars
that week so we have to be on our
game that week, on point. We’re
making speed here preparing for May
11th and the Nationals in
October.”
Bristle scored three victories at
Carteret County Speedway in 2019
driving for the dominant Dillon
Spain Motorsports team which has
also racked up wins with Spain, Zach
Lightfoot, Eric Courtney, and Mason
Diaz in the past and been in
contention for wins all season with
Emily Day. Bristle, who is a former
Legends champion at Southern
National Motorsports Park, does not
race regularly himself and often
spends much of his time working with
other DSM drivers.
“We have a wonderful group of guys
with us,” Bristle stated. “Great
drivers we work with. We’ve got
Emily. Tucker Jones is rolling.
We’ve got Jason Austin. We’ve got
some good speed. It should be a
really great show. We’re expecting
a lot of cars. It should be a
blast.”
The Legends race will see a slightly
altered format. If there are more
than 30 cars attempting to make the
field, the top 20 starting positions
will be determined in qualifying,
which will commence at 5:30pm, and
the rest will have an opportunity to
race in a B-Main style event with
the top eight finishers from that
race transferring to the feature
race.
The 35-lap, $2,500-to-win Legends
feature will be the headline act in
the Short Track Shootout on Saturday
night, May 11th. The
green flag will fly at 7pm and will
also feature racing for Street
Stocks, Mini-Stocks, U-CARs, Champ
Karts, and the Coastal Carolina Mini
Cup Series.
Tickets are $15 for adults while
kids 10 and under get in free. In
honor of Mother’s Day, moms will get
$5 off general admission.

Jackson
Motorplex Postpones Season-Opening
Casey's Great Lakes Shootout
Inside
Line Promotions - JACKSON, Minn.
(May 6, 2019) - The season opener at
Jackson Motorplex has been postponed
because of continued wet weather.
The
4/10-mile oval was slated to kick
off the season this Friday with the
Casey's Great Lakes Shootout
presented by Harvey's Roofing and
Tweeter Contracting. However, the
marquee race featuring the Bumper to
Bumper IRA Sprint Car Series along
with Heartland Steel RaceSaver
sprint cars presented by Wyffels
Hybrids will have to wait a few
months.
"We have
been unable to get any heavy
equipment on the track over the past
several weeks as it never seems to
dry out before we get blasted with
more rain," Jackson Motorplex
General Manager Doug Johnson said.
"We have decided to shift everything
to our season finale in September."
The
Great Lakes Shootout will now become
a part of the final event of the
season on Sept. 20-21. There will be
added money for the IRA Sprint Car
Series portion and the Heartland
Steel RaceSaver sprint cars
presented by Wyffels Hybrids will be
racing both days during the SeaFoam
Open Wheel Nationals for big money
along with the Wisconsin Wingless
Sprints.
The next
event for Jackson Motorplex is May
17 for Iowa Speedway Night featuring
the Midwest Power Series and Midwest
Sprint Touring Series 360 sprint
cars, NSL non-wing sprint cars
presented by HitchDoc and Heartland
Steel RaceSaver sprint cars
presented by Wyffels Hybrids.
One
lucky fan will win two tickets to
the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at
Iowa Speedway in Newton, Iowa, in
June.
