LADYGA, BLEWETT, SUSICE WIN TQ MIDGET TRIPLE 20 RACES, RUDOLPH AND BLEWETT TIE FOR FAST TIME; DALEY WINS SEVENTH CAREER LSMP CHAMP KART FEATURE; BATTLE OF TRENTON TQ FEATURE SATURDAY (TODAY), GATES OPEN AT 5 P.M.
TRENTON, NJ February 27, 2016 . . . Nick Ladyga of Voluntown, Ct., Jimmy Blewett of Howell, N.J., and Ryan Susice of Ransomville, N.Y., each punched their ticket into the 40-lap Battle Of Trenton TQ Midget feature Saturday by winning 20-lap TQ Qualifier races Friday at Sun National Bank Center. Their wins guaranteed them starting berths in Saturday night's 40-lap Battle Of Trenton feature race.
The Len Sammons Motorsports Productions (LSMP) event also saw Erick Rudolph of Ransomville, N.Y., and Blewett tie for fast time, with identical 7.045 clockings to best a 63-car TQ field.
The Champ Kart feature, run over a 20-lap distance, was won by Chris Daley of Pleasant Valley, N.Y. over Cale Ross of Lambertville, N.J. The win was Daley's seventh career LSMP Indoor Champ Kart feature and second in Sun National Bank Center.
Ladyga, a New England Modified racer, and Susice, the 2015 Ransomville Raceway Small Block Modified DIRTcar champion, had never won indoor races before. Blewett, who ran races on both dirt and asphalt in 2015, is a past indoor TQ preliminary race winner.
The common denominator among all three heat winners was their car builder, Mark Lafler of Ransomville, N.Y.
Contenders for the LSMP Indoor Series Presented By VP Race Fuels Point Championship, to be decided Saturday, had difficult Fridays. Anthony Sesely of Matawan, N.J., who had led the points heading into Friday night's events battled a misfiring car all afternoon and evening and eventually withdrew from his heat race when his car simply quit. Mike Lichty of Innerkip, Ontario, second in points, crashed in his heat race. Rudolph, also a contender, was involved in numerous mishaps in his qualifier and Andy Jankowkiak of Buffalo, N.Y., the defending winner of the Battle Of Trenton, crashed heavily and was out of his heat race early.
Blewett emerged from the Friday competition as the leader in the standings, with a guaranteed starting spot in the feature heading into Saturday's climactic event.
In the Champ Kart race, Daley moved swiftly through the field to assume command but when a caution flag flew at mid-distance, Ross muscled by Daley for the lead. Two laps later, however, Daley reasserted himself and went on to win with Ross second, James Hayden of Lake Grove, N.Y., third, Dalton Rovira of East Brunswick, N.J., fourth and AJ Jadacki of of Lakewood fifth.
Anthony Colandro of Hicksville, N.Y., Jadacki, and Daley won the three Champ Kart heat races, and Brianna Page of Brick, N.J., won the Champ Kart B Main.
Saturday's (TODAY) racing schedule consists of qualifiers and last chance races for the TQ Midgets leading up to the Battle Of Trenton 40-lap feature and a complete program of Slingshot racing, culminating in a 20-lap feature.

INDOOR AUTO RACING SERIES TITLE TO BE DECIDED ON SATURDAY (FEB. 27) IN THREE QUARTER MIDGET 40 LAP BATTLE OF TRENTON – PETE & ELDA’S INVERTED HANDICAPPING SYSTEM ADDS EXCITEMENT TO FRIDAY TRIPLE 20 RACES
TRENTON, NJ February 23, 2016 . . . Though the decisive struggle for the Battle Of Trenton is in Saturday night’s Three Quarter (TQ) Midget feature, Friday night’s TQ Midget Triple 20 Qualifiers have received some added focus with the signing of a new sponsor and a unique handicapping system. The added buzz to Friday has made attending both days of this weekend’s NAPA Auto Parts/ Oliver Construction, Inc. sponsored events at Trenton’s Sun National Bank Center as not to be missed events.
Pete & Elda's Bar / Carmen's Pizzeria, located in Neptune, N.J., has lent its name to the support of the Friday TQ qualifiers, races in which a “do-or-die’ ethic prevails and caution is thrown to the winds. George Andretta, owner of the local hot spot bar and restaurant, is a past driver and championship contender at Wall (NJ) Stadium. As part of the sponsorship arrangement, extra prize money will be distributed to racers in the Triple Twenties. The TQ Qualifiers were a huge hit at the most recent event in Atlantic City with top qualifiers starting mid-pack in these events. In Atlantic City, Rudolph blasted from 10th to win his 20 lap race, while new winners were able to go to victory lane in the other Friday showcase events.
The Battle Of Trenton is the third and final race of the Len Sammons Motorsports Productions (LSMP) Indoor Racing Series presented by VP Racing Fuels. The series played to a sold-out crowd in Allentown, PA on January 2nd. The next stop was Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall where Anthony Sesely took top honors. The series point championship will now be decided this weekend at the Sun National Bank Center.
Tickets are available online at www.comcastix.com or by phone at 1-800-298-4200. Tickets may also be purchased at the Sun National Bank Center Box Office. All ticket prices do not include a $2 facility charge; ticket prices increase $5 for tickets purchased on the day of the events.
While 68 TQ Midget teams have registered, just four drivers have a true shot at the Series point championship going into the climactic “Battle of Trenton”, a 40 lap finale to be held on that Saturday night. N.J.’s Anthony Sesely leads Ontario, Canada’s Mike Lichty by just one point. With points awarded for fast time, Friday night's qualifying races and Saturday's A-Main every position in every race will count. Sesely, Lichty, Ransomville, NY’s Erick Rudolph and Howell, NJ’s Jimmy Blewett could each go into Saturday's A-Main with the opportunity to win the championship. Rudolph held the early series point lead after winning the opener in Allentown, PA on January 2nd. Sesely grabbed the top spot in the points after taking the NAPA Know How feature event on January 30th inside Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall. Andy Jankowiak, who won the 2015 Battle Of Trenton and consistent Tim Buckwalter are still very much in the chase for the title as well, but would need the top four drivers to falter in order to cash in on their title hopes.
The Battle Of Trenton Friday schedule of events consists of Pete & Elda's Bar / Carmen's Pizzeria TQ Midget Qualifiers and a complete card of Champ Karts culminating with a 20-car, 20-lap feature. On Saturday, TQ Midgets continue their qualifying to pare the field down to 24 starters for the Battle Of Trenton 40 lap main event. A complete program of qualifying events and a feature event will be also held for the Slingshots on Saturday which will decide the Slinger Warehouse Indoor Series title. Access to the pre-race trackside Saturday Fanfest is included with admission for Front Row or Lower Level Reserved Seats for Saturday ticket holders. All families with a young child will also be invited to Fanfest. A third day of the Battle Of Trenton is on Sunday, Feb. 28 dedicated to Quarter Midget racers and Micro Stocks. The front doors are closed for this event, but admission is available through the back gate pit area entrance. Check aarn.com for more information or phone 609-888-3618.

OCALA USAC AMSOIL NATIONAL SPRINT RACE RESULTS – Feb. 20

USAC AMSOIL SPRINT CAR NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP RACE RESULTS: February 20, 2016 - Ocala, Florida - Bubba Raceway Park - "Winter Dirt Games VII"
MESERAULL SURVIVES AND THRIVES IN EPIC WINTER DIRT GAMES FINALE
There's a fine line between conservation and aggressiveness behind the wheel of a racecar. How much a driver can push himself and his car in either strategic direction without sacrificing the other is an art that is truly a difficult art to master. If a driver doesn't push hard enough, he will not put himself in a position to win. Conversely, if a driver doesn't take care of his equipment, namely the four pieces of rubber on his car, throughout the race, odds are he will not likely be standing in victory lane at night's end. On Saturday night, San Jose, California's Thomas Meseraull was able to find just the right combination of speed, patience, and timeliness to take the victory on the last corner of the final lap in a wild, topsy-turvy USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship "Winter Dirt Games VII" finale at Bubba Raceway Park in Ocala, Florida.
Meseraull, who was the night's ProSource Fast Qualifier would start the 30-lap feature from outside the third row, but it was the previous two nights' fast qualifier Max McGhee who started on the pole and led the first lap of the affair. Following a three-car tangle that brought out the race's first caution, the ensuing restart saw outside front row starter Robert Ballou taking the point from McGhee on lap two with Bryan Clauson in tow.
On the fifth lap, Clauson and Ballou banged wheels three separate times, swapping the lead back-and-forth in a battle of the two most recent series feature winners. As Clauson took command of the top spot, Ballou attempted to regain his rhythm as he dropped to fourth, overtaken by McGhee and Meseraull.
At the halfway point, the surface began to take rubber and tire wear became a primary concern as Meseraull got to the second spot on lap 17 with an outside maneuver on McGhee coming off of turn four. On the 18th lap, Meseraull threw a slide job on Clauson for the lead entering one, making slight contact with his right rear tire on Clauson's left front.
Just two laps later, Clauson regained the lead as Meseraull slid high exiting the second turn. Clauson immediately began to pull away and appeared as if he had the race in the bag as he distanced himself from the rest of the field. However, on lap 23, Clauson became the first victim of tire wear, popping a right rear tire and handing over the lead to youngster Max McGhee, putting the 18-year-old in a position to win his first career series race with just eight laps to go.
Under caution, McGhee and others cooled their tires off on the cushion, looking for any possible way to subdue the heat on the tires for the run to the checkered flag. On lap 25, Brady Bacon, running seventh, and fifth-place Ballou saw right rears wear out on them in what was becoming a battle of survival of the fittest.
With two laps remaining, McGhee, Justin Grant, and Meseraull ran nose-to-tail into turn one when suddenly McGhee's right rear tire went flat, sending him out of the groove, out of the lead, and out of luck. The green flag stayed out as Grant and Meseraull now ran one-two headed for the white flag. On the fourth turn of the final lap, with the checkered flag in sight, Grant's right rear gave way, allowing Meseraull to get underneath him and take his first series win of the season aboard his Amati Racing/Marion Underground Construction - Zeller Construction/DRC/Claxton number 66, beating Chris Windom, Kyle Cummins, Chase Stockon and a heartbroken Grant to the finish line.
The Meseraull/Amati combo has become a force within the series since teaming up last summer, already peeling off three feature victories since late September of 2015. But on this night, Meseraull admits that it's not only experience that enabled him to manage his tires enough to win on this night, but sometimes luck plays a role along with being in the right place at the right time.
"I think I'm already one of the guys that can keep the tires under it." Meseraull said. "You can't over-gas these things and tonight that was the key. I tried not to get wheel spin and we made some changes to get the car over on the left side more and I think that was the key. If we'd have been buried on the right rear, we would've been done. Once Clauson went out, I just started to not burn it at all and then it was just a waiting game. Then, Max McGhee lost his (tire) and Justin lost his in the last corner. We kind of got lucky, but sometimes it's better to be lucky than good."
Runner-up Chris Windom had a strong, steady, under-the-radar run in his Rick Pollock/Bates Commodities/Maxim/Advanced Engines number 21x, picking his way through the field from his 14th starting spot by altering his race strategy midway through the feature.
"The first ten to twelve laps we had a really good car and could pick some guys off," Windom said. But the last half was all strategy. You had to save your tires as much as possible, and then the last five laps became even more strategic. I was watching the top-three and knew at least a couple of them were going to blow tires because they were going way too hard on the right rear, so I just laid off and hoped that mine would stay up; thankfully it did."
Third place Kyle Cummins continued his impressive performances during "Winter Dirt Games VII" in the Hank Byram/Vincennes University - Tim Mason ReMax/Mach-1/Cummins number 3R, taking his third consecutive top-three finish in Ocala and extending his lead in the series point standings to 18 markers over Meseraull.
"It's been a really good week," Cummins exclaimed. "Every night we tried something different and we still have a good top-five car each night. The team is clicking and we're having fun. For a while there it became like a job to me. But I just try to go out and race and have a good time. We certainly want to win, but with finishes like that, we're going to start winning some. Once we do win, we'll have even more confidence and, I think, have a really good season."

BALLOU BANKS WINTER DIRT GAMES GOLD IN OCALA
Posted by: | Comments- The United States Auto Club.
Some might consider putting the #1 on a racecar in the year following a championship as a well-earned honor. On the other hand, some might consider it a curse.Defending series champion Robert Ballou quickly put the latter notion to rest by leading all 30 laps in his Ballou Motorsports/MPHG Promotions - Blakesley's Auto/Maxim/Ott to win night two of "Winter Dirt Games VII" in Friday night's USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship feature at Bubba Raceway Park in Ocala, Florida.
The Rocklin, California driver started on the pole position, quickly jumping out to a sizable lead in the opening laps. Throughout the duration of the race, Ballou rarely encountered trouble, magnificently maneuvering through lapped traffic by the tenth lap. Just two laps later, a Kyle Robbins turn four spin ridded the leaders of traffic, supplying Ballou with an advantage on the lap 12 restart with the lapped car of Kent Schmidt sandwiched between him and second-running Brady Bacon at the green flag.
Bacon was Ballou's most serious threat in the early going, yet it was previous night's second place finisher Kyle Cummins riding the cushion around Bacon in turn two for the second spot on lap 14.
A flip by Jarett Andretti into turn one on lap 21 created one last restart with ten laps remaining. Cummins' left rear appeared to be low on air as the field prepared to come to the green and Bacon was quickly able to charge past Cummins to claim the second position.
Ballou's commanding lead quickly shrank as Bacon once again was looking at a clear racetrack through his visor. One last move by Bacon on Ballou coming out four to the checkered flag wasn't enough as Ballou earned his first victory of the year, beating Bacon, Cummins, Bryan Clauson and Dave Darland to the line at the finish.
Ballou tallied his 23rd career series win, tying him for 19th on the all-time USAC National Sprint Car win list with A.J. Foyt and Roger McCluskey.
"I thought we had a car that was capable of winning last (Thursday) night, but we forgot to put a bleeder in and it just kind of messed up the night," said Ballou who finished 10th in Thursday night's feature. We didn't point any fingers; we just kept digging. We put our heads down today and I said, 'it's a new night; we've got to start over; it's a long season.' We had to dig deep, but we hit everything where we needed to tonight."
Bacon, the 2014 series champ and a USAC Sprint feature winner in Ocala, Fla. one season ago, discovered during his run Friday night that the high side was the place to be.
"Before the next to last yellow, I tried the bottom and it just didn't work and Cummins got around me," admitted Bacon, the driver of the Dynamics, Inc./Mean Green - Lykins Oil/XXX/Williams Mopar. "But the next restart, I went back up top and was able to get back around him. I felt like I was better the first few laps after a restart than a couple of those guys, but everyone was pretty equal up on the top and that was pretty much the only option."
Third place finisher Cummins, who carries the series point lead into Saturday night's "Winter Dirt Games VII" finale, backed up his second place run on Thursday night with another podium finish in his Hank Byram/Vincennes University - Tim Mason ReMax/Mach-1/Cummins.
"I kind of found a different groove when I was chasing Robert and I'd catch him, but then lose him again," Cummins said. "This thing is right on the edge of being a handful to drive right now and we just haven't found a good setup to calm it down. We changed quite a bit from last night and it still acted sort of the same. Finishing third is alright, but we'll have to try some drastic stuff tomorrow to really get after it. We're fast. We just have to be better."
Friday night's contingency award winners included Max McGhee (ProSource Fast Qualifier & Simpson Race Products First Heat); Shane Cottle (Competition Suspension (CSI) Second Heat); Clauson (Benic Enterprises Third Heat & KSE Hard Charger); Brady Short (Indy Race Parts Fourth Heat); Cummins (Schroeder/Pac Springs 3rd Place Finisher); Darland (Schoenfeld Headers 5th Place Finisher); Chris Windom (Schroeder/Pac Springs 8th Place Finisher); Ballou (Top Maxim Finisher).

CLAUSON CRUISES TO NATIONAL SPRINT SEASON OPENER IN OCALA
Posted by: | Comments- The United States Auto Club.
USAC AMSOIL SPRINT CAR NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP RACE RESULTS: February 18, 2016 - Ocala, Florida - Bubba Raceway Park - "Winter Dirt Games VII"
Although his determined charge to the front was interrupted by three early yellow flags, Noblesville, Indiana's Bryan Clauson was undeterred as he took the checkered flag during "Winter Dirt Games VII" in his Dooling-Hayward/B & H Contractors - Cancer Treatment Centers of America/Spike/Stanton Mopar in Thursday night's USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship season opening feature at Bubba Raceway Park in Ocala, Fla.
Starting in the fourth position, Clauson quickly pounced to the front, immediately putting pressure on outside front row starter Chase Stockon for the lead by the end of the first lap. However, a turn four spin by Jarett Andretti brought out the yellow before the first lap could be completed, bringing about a complete restart.
On the ensuing restart, Clauson once again shot to the front, taking the lead on the third lap when the rear end on Aric Gentry's car locked up, bringing out the second caution of the 30-lap event. On lap seven, Stockon's tail tank was shadowed around the 3/8-mile D-shaped clay oval by Clauson when Kody Swanson came to a stop backwards in turn four.
Clauson, tired of seeing yellow, was intent on making the most of an extended green flag run, finally claiming the top spot for good on the eighth lap, sliding up in front of Stockon entering turn one and eventually pulling away to a half straightaway lead over Stockon.
Clauson was never challenged despite encountering lapped traffic in the final few circuits, taking his fourth USAC-sanctioned win of the year over Kyle Cummins, Thomas Meseraull, Max McGhee and Chad Boespflug.
Clauson, who won three of the five USAC Southwest/West Coast Sprint features at the "Winter Challenge" at Peoria, Arizona's Canyon Speedway in January likens his success at Bubba Raceway Park to Canyon.
"This place has always been a place since day one that I've taken a liking to," Clauson said. "I kind of like to call it the Canyon of the south for me. Our cars are always really good and I'm proud to drive this thing. It's been a rocket ship since we unloaded it at Eldora last year."
As the track slicked off a bit, Clauson felt that the conditions suited his style to park it in victory lane for the fourth time in "Winter Dirt Games" competition, also picking up victories in 2011, 2013 and 2014.
"Our car, historically, the slicker it gets, the better we are," Clauson said. "We were licking our chops all night. Our Spike chassis and Stanton power were getting to the ground and we felt like we had really good forward drive all night long. We were able to maneuver; that was the big thing. When Chase took our line away up top, I could go to the middle and still make some runs at him. That's what we work on every night, not only to be fast but to be able to make multiple lines work."
Cummins, of Princeton, Indiana, had a superb run, taking second at the checkered, passing Stockon during a three abreast battle along with Meseraull, who collected the third spot.
"At the beginning I felt like I sucked everywhere, but I made some adjustments and it seemed like going into the middle of one, everybody was kind of hanging, and I could make up a little bit of ground. In three and four, I could just run in the middle. Going into one and getting off turn four was my best by far. It seemed like I could make up a huge amount on the guys."
Brady Short, who owns the lead for the Wilwood Brake Systems Passing Master Award for the weekend, was the KSE Hard Charger for the night, moving from 18th to the 11th in the feature. The contingency award winner for Schoenfeld Headers was fifth-place finisher Boespflug while Meseraull (3rd) and Brady Bacon (8th) won contingencies from Schroeder/Pac Springs. The top-finishing driver in a Maxim chassis was McGhee in the fourth spot.

THREE QUARTER MIDGET ENTRY LIST FOR NAPA KNOW HOW GAMBLER’S CLASSIC SET FOR JANUARY 29-30 IN ATLANTIC CITY’S BOARDWALK HALL APPROACHES 100
ATLANTIC CITY, NJ January 24, 2016. . . Recently received entries for this coming weekend’s NAPA Know How Gambler’s Classic in Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J., have pushed the field of Three Quarter (TQ) Midgets to nearly 100 men and machines.
This, coupled with full fields of Champ Karts and Slingshots, means that the fourteenth annual Len Sammons Motorsports Productions (LSMP) has the potential to break all records for number of team entries.
Heading the list is an 18-car contingent of cars built by upstate New York whiz Mark Lafler, whose cars have come to dominate the VP Indoor TQ Series over the past five years.
His reign as the master car builder is being challenged by Lou Cicconi, Jr. who will be fielding four new John Bodnar-engineered, BJ MacDonald-built cars that performed well in their first runs in Allentown, Pa.’s Indoor Race.
Alex Bright, an ARDC Midget standout, is a top Cicconi car contender. He successfully qualified for the Allentown A-Main, the only one of the three Cicconi entries in the first Series race to do so. Modified driver Jeff Strunk, Ohio Sprint Car pilot John Ivy and Midwestern Sprint and Midget standout Russ Gamester are slated to run the other three Cicconi owned cars.
Cicconi has decided to enter a fifth car after he was notified on January 20 by Rico Abreu that he would not be racing in Atlantic City as had been originally intended.
“The demands for my NASCAR commitments are higher than I anticipated,” Abreu texted Cicconi. “I am truly sorry, I feel awful.”
Abreu, on January 14 signed a contract to drive full time in the 2016 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.
Erick Rudolph, the unofficial leader of the Lafler-brigade, and the winner of the Indoor Auto Racing Championship Series Fueled By VP Racing Fuels opener January 2 in Allentown, Pa., will be racing for the highest stakes.
If Rudolph wins the Saturday night 14th Annual NAPA AUTO PARTS TQ Midget feature in Atlantic City, he’ll remain eligible to receive a $10,000 bonus prize posted by Vahlco Racing Wheels. If he then wins the Saturday night, February 27th Battle Of Trenton main event.
“I’m the only one with a chance to win it,” said Rudolph, who won the 2015 Gambler’s Classic race in Atlantic City’s Bo 100ardwalk Hall and the February, 2014 Battle Of Trenton event in Trenton’s Sun Bank Center.
“But these races are tough to win. It depends on how you qualify, and on which gear you choose to run. The car I run in Boardwalk Hall will be set up the same as it was for the Allentown race,” Rudolph revealed.
With close to 100 TQ s expected in Atlantic City, winning the Valhco Perfect Performance Bonus won’t be easy.
“I would say any of the drivers who made the invert in Allentown would be the guys to beat in Atlantic City,” Rudolph reasoned.
They included Ryan Flores, Mike Lichty, Jimmy Blewett, Anthony Sesely, Ted Christopher, Lou Cicconi, Jr., Andy Jankowiak and Rudolph. All but Flores are past Indoor race winners in the LSMP series events.
The Atlantic City race meet is the second of three events in the Indoor Auto Racing Championship Series Fueled By VP Racing Fuels, run under the Len Sammons Motorsports Productions (LSMP). Racing in Trenton, N.J. on February 26 and 27 completes the Series.
The weekend schedule for Atlantic City calls for the TQ Midgets, Slingshot and Champ Karts to hit the track for time trials on Friday afternoon, setting the stage for Friday night’s racing action.
A newly designed points system will be used to reward the TQ Midgets for time trial performance and finishing position in Friday night’s qualifying races.
The top 80 TQ Midgets from time trials will be split into four 20 car, 20 lap qualifying events. The winners of those events and the top five combined point earners from time trials and the qualifying races will lock themselves into Saturday night’s A-Main.
On Saturday night the TQ Midgets will run six heat races and three B-mains to fill out the 24 car starting field for the 40 Gambler’s Classic A-Main.
The Champ Karts and Slingshots will run preliminary qualifying features on Friday night, final last chance races Saturday afternoon and feature races Saturday night. Both classes will run 25-lap feature races with 24 starters to take the green flag.
Reserved seat tickets for the NAPA Know How Racing Weekend inside Boardwalk Hall are still available but in limited quantity. There are plenty of general admission seats that remain for sale.
Tickets are available from the Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall Box office, all Ticketmaster offices and online at www.ticketmaster.com. To order by phone, call Ticketmaster at 1-800-736-1420 or 1-800-745-3000.

Twenty-six races will populate the 2016 Hilborn Tri-State Racesaver Series schedule this season, with the opener being held back at New Egypt Speedway on April 23rd. Several other “special event” shows are slated to highlight the schedule including a Thursday night Thunder on the Hill event at the historic Grandview Speedway, with the TSRS sprints on the bill along with the All Star Circuit of Champions 410 Sprint Cars. The popular 305 Sprint Car group will visit Grandview Speedway, New Egypt Speedway and also Bridgeport Speedway this season, as well as some popular Central Pennsylvania tracks during co-sanction events with the PASS Racesaver Series.
“This should be one of our best seasons yet,” regional director Joe Grandinetti commented. “We have a pretty exciting and diverse schedule that I think it will be fitting to all of our teams. I am working with Rod Ort from PASS more this year so that we can get both of our series to work together to create better racing and more participation from both TSRS and PASS teams, so that RACESAVER will continue to grow and flourish”.
Also for 2016, New Egypt Speedway has discontinued their 305 Racesaver Sprint Car division, handing the sanction and races back to Grandinetti. The two parties separated back in 2014, ultimately affecting car counts for both groups. With Grandinetti and TSRS back to holding the reigns he is hoping to have a more consistent car count not only at New Egypt, but at all Speedways partnered with the group.
General Manager of Bridgeport Speedway Danny Serrano is looking to bring back the Poker Series Championship in 2016. He is currently looking for sponsors to help fund the unique and popular event that Eddie Wagner came victor to in 2015.
“We are planning on having a nice points fund, with IMCA contributing and also with some other deals I am working towards as well,” says Grandinetti. “We have ASI Racewear coming on board this year as a sponsor, and Hilborn will be back to support us as our primary series sponsor this year too. Thayer Performance is going to be our official parts trailer once again this season, and they always have almost everything we need to help out our teams when they find themselves in a bind at the track, so I am always appreciative to that”.
There are seven scheduled shows at New Egypt this year, twelve at Bridgeport Speedway on both Friday and Saturday nights, and the Tri-State Racesaver Series will be visiting Grandview Speedway a total of five times in 2016, with three of those shows being Thunder on the Hill Events. Also, TSRS will co-sanction with PASS for the year ending “Blue Collar Showdown” at Port Royal Speedway in early October.
Mike Haggenbottom, who was crowned the 2015 Champion for the fourth consecutive year in a row this past Saturday at the annual TSRS banquet, will try for a fifth straight championship in 2016. Eddie Wagner, Tim Tanner, Dave Brown Jr., Stefanie Palmai, John Barnett, Ryan Stillwaggon, Tommy Carberry, Rick Stief, and the first ever TSRS champion Jeff Geiges, are just a few of the popular drivers who will be chasing the 2016 Hilborn Tri-State Racesaver Series crown as well.
“I am looking to discuss and outline the basics of our great series this coming Saturday (January 23rd) during our scheduled seminar at Motorsports,” mentioned Joe. The meeting, which will be held at noon on Saturday, January 23rd in Seminar Room 1 at the Expo Center, will have Grandinetti present as well as French Grimes, and the PA Racesaver Regional Director Rod Ort on hand to answer any questions on the upcoming season. “There are a lot of new details concerning tech, handicapping procedures and safety concerns that will be gone over, so it is imperative that 2016 competitors are present”. Drivers may register for the 2016 after the meeting, or you can find registration information at the TSRS booth at the Motorsports Show this coming weekend.
