Cole Duncan earns Ohio Sprint Speedweek finale victory, Tim Shaffer claims third Speedweek championship
CHILLICOTHE, OH (June 25, 2017) - Ending a near-four year drought, Lockbourne, Ohio’s Cole Duncan is back in Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions victory lane, this time earning the 35th Annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek presented by Cometic Gasket finale win at Atomic Speedway over a field of 53 entries. The pilot of the Helms Construction/Motor City Auto Transport/Ohio Heating/No. 22C earned his $5,000 payday from the outside of row three, utilizing a lap 21 restart to take command officially on lap 22 over Muskingum County Speedway winner, Spencer Bayston. Duncan chased Bayston for six circuits before making the winning move, eventually driving under the familiar Kevin Swindell-owned No. 39 through turns three and four.
Duncan’s victory caps off an impressive Ohio Sprint Speedweek presented by Cometic Gasket campaign for the second generation Arctic Cat All Star winner, finishing tied for second in the final Ohio Sprint Speedweek championship standings on the strength of one victory and five top-ten finishes, three of which inside the top-five. Despite ending in a tie, Duncan will be declared the official runner-up due to having a victory over Chad Kemenah.
Spencer Bayston held on to finish second on Saturday night at Atomic Speedway, followed by DJ Foos, Tanner Thorson and Caleb Armstrong.
“Man, I’ve been waiting to talk to you for a long time,” Cole Duncan explained in victory lane. “I just want to thank all of the fans for coming out tonight. It was a near-perfect night for racing. The track was in perfect shape. I’m so glad Brad (McCown) opened this place back up and did what he did. It feels so good to be in victory lane during an All Star event at my home track. This is the first Speedweek I’ve ever completed. I’m so proud of everyone.”
Cole Duncan won the battle on Saturday night, but it was the “Steel City Outlaw” Tim Shaffer who won the war, claiming his third Ohio Sprint Speedweek presented by Cometic Gasket point championship worth $1,000. Shaffer’s Speedweek run ended with two victories, the first at Eldora Speedway and the second at Waynesfield Raceway Park, as well as five top-ten finishes, edging out Cole Duncan and Chad Kemenah in the final Ohio Sprint Speedweek title fight by 14 points.
“This was definitely a whole group effort. They did a great job, which made me look even better than I was,” said Tim Shaffer. “We’re running well at a perfect time of the year. I’m having more fun now than I ever have. They gave me a great car here tonight. We have the engines and the parts; everything we need to be better.”
The Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions will continue competition with visits to Kokomo (IN) Speedway and Wayne County (OH) Speedway on Friday and Saturday, June 30 and July 1. The Kokomo Speedway program was originally set for Friday, May 19, but was postponed due to Mother Nature. Tony Stewart, three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and Arctic Cat All Star owner, will join the field at Indiana’s baddest bullring; the only Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions appearance in the state of Indiana for 2017. Rico Abreu is the most recent winner during Arctic Cat All Star competition at Kokomo Speedway, earning the 2016 Dirt Classic Indiana worth $12,500.
The upcoming Wayne County Speedway appearance will be the third of five for the Arctic Cat All Stars in 2017, most recently during Ohio Sprint Speedway presented by Cometic Gasket on Monday, June 19. Kyle Larson was the Speedweek winner, his first of two Ohio Sprint Speedweek victories with the second coming one night later at Sharon (OH) Speedway.

Caution: Stewart Is on a Streak
BEAVER DAM, WI - June 24, 2017 - In a night full of cautions and chaos, and even a bit of rain after Time Trials, Larson Marks Racing driver Shane Stewart secured a weekend sweep as he took the checkers for the second night in a row, this time at the Jim "JB" Boyd Memorial presented by Karavan Trailers at Beaver Dam Raceway.
Greg Wilson, who led the race for 24 laps, came in just short of the podium as Kerry Madsen charged from the back to come in second with Jason Johnson behind him.
"That was a crazy long race," said Stewart from Victory Lane as the racing wrapped up near 1:00AM.
It was a night full of hardship at the high-banked third-mile. A bit of rain after Time Trials delayed the racing and made for a challenging surface. A number of cautions during the second Heat had the crowd on the edge of their seats and set the tone for the 40-lap Feature. "They're picking them off one by one," said a fan in the backstretch grandstand. "There's too much grip. It's going to be the last man standing."
Greg Wilson came in second in that Heat, in which only four drivers managed to complete all 10 laps, so he was looking at the last row of the Craftsman Club® Dash. A full Dash inversion, with a draw of eight, however, moved him to the front, just outside of Donny Schatz, which is just where he started the Feature. Wilson wasn't about to let that get away from him. He charged out ahead of Schatz in Lap 1.
Schatz got a second chance, just as Stewart got at West Liberty Raceway the night before, but he came out less than victorious.
A caution in Lap 1 forced a restart, and set the field back to its original position. Jac Haudenschild bit the wall in Turn 2 with the Stenhouse Jr./Wood Racing No. 17 and was out of the race.
Wilson took the lead again on the restart, and Stewart passed Schatz for second in Lap 6, starting a battle between them. Unfortunately, the battle resulted in contact between the two drivers that sent the Arctic Cat No. 15 flying into the air before taking several flips on the backstretch with 33 laps to go. Although the Series champ came out unharmed, he was done for the night.
"I've got to say sorry to Donny," said Stewart from Victory Lane. "I didn't mean to get into him. I got backed up there a little bit, and I didn't see him go last minute. He's definitely the last person that you'd ever want to wreck."
Sheldon Haudenschild was the next driver to taste the wall. More and more cautions followed, and while Wilson and Stewart battled it out up front, Kerry Madsen and Jason Johnson made themselves busy, climbing lap after lap and taking advantage of every restart.
Madsen had some challenges earlier in the night. He had a strong lead in his Heat when he spun into the wall between Turns 3 and 4, losing a wheel and limping off into the work area while his car was towed. But he refused to be defeated. He went on to win the Last Chance Showdown and make the Feature, where he started in the 21 spot. Yes, 21. And with only two laps to go, there he was, passing Wilson for second.
For Stewart it was a different kind of second: his second win in just two nights, and his second race with new crew chief Lee Stauffer. Asked what Stauffer has brought to the team, Stewart replied, "Confidence. We just lacked a little bit of that. He has a lot of self confidence, and so has brought a lot to the team. He's a good leader."
The World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series meets up with the Late Model Series next at the Dirt Oval at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, IL for the FVP Outlaw Clay Classic on Tuesday and Wednesday, June 27 and 28. Tickets are still available online.

With a Lot of Skill and a Little Luck, Shane Stewart Locks in West Liberty Raceway Win
WEST LIBERTY, IL - June 23, 2017 - Bixby, OK-native Shane Stewart commanded the Larson Marks Racing No. 2 car for 25 laps through the checkers to win the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series debut at the 1/2-mile West Liberty Raceway. Behind him Kasey Kahne Racing driver Brad Sweet fought Jason Johnson for second to round out the podium.
Stewart started the day out strong, qualifying second, but a bit of luck also came into play later that night. At the start of the West Liberty Hawkeye 25 Feature, both Johnson and Sweet got past Stewart, but a caution before the lap was complete forced a reset, giving him a second chance.
"That was my race, honestly," said Stewart. "I would've never passed those guys back if that caution hadn't come out. I honestly don't know what the heck happened. I just spun my tires really bad."
This marks the third win of the season and the first this month for Stewart, who came to the event with new Crew Chief Lee Stauffer at his side and now sits fourth in points standings, just four points past Daryn Pittman.
Behind the leader, Johnson and Sweet fell in line throughout the first half of the race. Ian Madsen made an early run on Pittman for fourth, but some Turn 4 trouble in Lap 12 resulted in a tow off the field and the end of the race for Madsen.
On the restart, Johnson just couldn't steal the lead from Stewart, and Sweet took advantage of the fumble, charging past him for second. Despite additional restarts, the three crossed the checkers in just that order: Stewart, Sweet, Johnson.
The battle between Stewart and Johnson commenced earlier, in the Craftsman Club Dash, with Stewart successfully stealing the lead for the win - a lead which Johnson had already stolen from Jac "Wild Child" Haudenschild during the Dash Draw.
From the looks - and sound - of it, this was to be the Wild Child's day. The twittersphere was ablaze all afternoon with news of his commanding the Stenhouse Jr./Wood Racing No. 17 car that night. And despite the many hard feelings aroused by Joey Saldana's absence, fans rallied behind J. Haudenschild, who answered back with Quick Time in Qualifying, setting the track record with a 15.737.
J. Haudenschild went on to win Heat 1 and was looking pretty great for the Feature until the Dash Inversion came in with a six, for a full-field inversion that set him back to sixth. There would be no win for the No. 17 that night as the Wild Child came in at 16.
Meanwhile, the younger Haudenschild, who started the feature beside his dad, just one position behind, took over dad's spot to come in sixth, and even held off Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing driver and eight-time Series Champion Donny Schatz for half the race.
As fans rushed to meet their favorite drivers in the Pit area after the race, though, a young boy ran in screaming: "Did you find the Wild Child yet? Did you?"
The World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series heads to Beaver Dam Raceway next for the Jim "JB" Boyd Memorial presented by Karavan Trailers on Saturday, June 24, 2017. Tickets can still be purchased online.

ASCS National Sprint Series
Hafertepe Dominates Round Two Of The 2017 Dirt Cup At Skagit Speedway
ALGER, Wash. (June 23, 2017) What a difference 24-hours can make as Sam Hafertepe, Jr. went from being a lap down on Thursday at Skagit Speedway to Victory Lane on Friday with a run that was hotter than Seattle Coffee during Friday's 25 lap preliminary A-Feature in the 46th Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup presented by the Skagit Casino and Resort.
"Everybody knows, at least the guys that race with us, when it gets a little rough like that, our car doesn't normally do very good and I'm not as young as I used to be for that cowboy up," said Hafertepe on the subject of the overnight difference in his performance.
"The track being a little slicker for us, it got close to what we had last year on Saturday night. Steve's done a great job. To work as hard as he has, to get what we had tonight form what we started with, hats off to Steve."
Hafertepe's eighth win on the season with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series National Tour presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network, the Texas native will roll off fourth in Saturday's $15,000 to win A-Feature.
Positioning his Hwy. 79 Collision No. 15h on the pole through Friday's Heat/Qualifier format, Hafertepe shot to the point immediately with Roger Crockett in tow.
Keeping the field at bay through a pair of early race cautions, and a red flag involving Seth Bergman and Wayne Johnson, the restarts yield little opportunity for Crockett to attack. Pacing ahead of third running Travis Rilat early on, the No. 39c came under fire from Blake Hahn with the Griffith Truck and Equipment No. 52 taking the show position as Hafertepe began approaching the back of the field.
Green from Lap 7 on, traffic did little to slow Hafertepe's run with the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour point's leader crossing 5.188 seconds ahead of Roger Crockett, but it's the driver of the No. 7n that will lead the field to the drop of the green on Saturday.
"We had a good start to last night, and starting second row tonight, we didn't have any of the cars from last night starting around us so I knew we were in good shape," commented Crockett.
On his prediction of the track for Saturday, Roger said, "I think it'll be a lot like tonight. It usually gets hard on tires later in the race, which is good, it makes you save your car, but we've got a lot of work to do to catch Sam."
Blake Hahn completed the podium in the Lucas Oil No. 52 with 10th starting Aaron Reutzel fourth.
The run by the No. 87 earned the outside of the front row for Saturday's A-Feature. Jason Solwold finished fifth from ninth with Travis Rilat in tow. Colton Heath seventh was trailed by Matt Covington from 14th. Skylar Gee was the night's CP-Carrillo Hard Charger of the night with a run from 17th to ninth. Austen Wheatley made up the top-ten.
The finale of the 46th Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup presented by the Skagit Casino and Resort on Saturday, June 24 will be preceded by a Fan Fest Party by the track's main entrance as well as the NSCHoF Charity Auction in the grandstands. Both begin at 1:00 P.M. (PDT).
Modifieds will join the lineup of classes with racing getting underway at 7:00 P.M. (PDT). For more information on the Skagit Speedway, log onto http://www.skagitspeedway.com.

ACCORD SPEEDWAY NEWS
Posted by: | CommentsAccord, NY- "Showtime" Danny Tyler Dismantles Tough Accord Speedway Field To Capture First Win
By: Steve Pados, Accord Speedway Media
The quiet serenity of the Catskill Mountains turns into a heart throbbing and pulse quickening experience every Friday night during the summer months as raw horsepower and great driving skills displace the gentle mountain breezes and erupts in the peaks and valleys like a small earthquake. The once "it spot" for the hundreds of thousands of vacation goers and travelers migrating to the once famous Grossingers and The Concord Resorts, where the top stars in the entertainment business performed on a regular basis, has now given way to the stars and cars that make up the stellar driving roster of the eight divisions of racing that entertained the loyal band of racing fans who fill the Accord Speedway grandstand seats to see their favorite driving heroes perform on a weekly basis. The Friday event at Accord was another excellent show and sponsored by Kingston Nissan, located in Kingston, New York. (www.kingstonnissan.net) Emmanuel's Marketplace sponsored the exciting Four Cylinder Enduro event. ASI Trophies was the Checkered Flag bonus sponsor.
Securing wins on Friday night at Accord were Danny Tyler in the United Pump & Tank Modified main event. "The Bushkill Bullet" Kyle Rohner remained the hot ticket at Accord with his third win of the season in the Arkel Motors Sportsman division. "The Jersey Force" Anthony Recchio captured his third win of the season in the WRWD Radio Rookie Sportsman main. Steve Williams finally unraveled the mysteries of his early season and captured his second win of the season in the Upstate Auto Pure Stock feature event. Brock Pinkerous scored his first career win at Accord in the Want Ad Digest Junior Slingshot main. The WRWD Radio NEWS Sprint Car finale found "The Radical One" Tom Radivoy racing to his second win of the season. Dave Donovan scored his second win of the season when he captured the Emmanuel's Marketplace Four Cylinder Enduro event. Mike Houghtaling raced his Vintage Modified to a wire to wire triumph in the Northeast Vintage Modified feature.
The United Pump & Tank Modified starting field began with Richie Eurich jumping out to an early lead and he was able to build onto that lead until lap seven when a tremendous crash on the front stretch found at least seven cars crunching together. Title contender Danny Creeden, Jesse Marks and Ed Dachenhausen were eliminated from further competition in the fracas. When racing resumed it would be Eurich once again in command with Danny Tyler and Richard Smith taking up the chase. Eurich was still leading on lap twenty when Tyler was able to put gobs of pressure on him. They raced side by side for a lap until Tyler was finally able to wrest the lead away for good on lap twenty two. Once in front, Tyler checked out on the filed and romped to his first win of the season. Richie Eurich settled for runner-up honors in a brilliant ride and Richard Smith continued having a great season with a third place run. Kenny and Scott Ferrier completed the top five. The returning Mike Ricci, Brad Rothaupt, Kyle VanDuser, Jimmy Wells and Joe Judge completed the top ten.
The WRWD Radio Rookie Sportsman headliner found Anthony Recchio blasting out of the blocks to take the lead with Ryan McCartney following. McCartney would bobble a few laps later and would lose the runner-up slot to the hard charging Stan Vishinski. Vishinski showed his front bumper at times but Recchio was smooth as silk in racing to his third win of the season. Vishinski was second with Vinny Visconti third, Jared Miller fourth and John Miller fifth. Completing the top ten included Jimmy Devitt, newcomer Bob Jashembowski, Hunter Lapp, the returning Jason Feinberg and Jake Granacker.
The Arkel Motors Sportsman encounter found Chris VanDuser setting a fast pace at the start of the event and opened up some distance but just as quickly Matt Shultz cut down the distance and was knocking on the door. Shultz knocked a little too much on lap sixteen as he got into the back of VanDuser and turned him around while wounding his own race car in the process. VanDuser was installed back at the front but now had former two-time champion at the speedway Kyle Rohner at his back bumper. Rohner was owning the baseline of the speedway on this night and on the restart Rohner would forge into the lead and would open up a huge advantage on the field leading the event the rest of the way and claiming his third win of the season in the process. Tony Kowalchuk would finish in the runner-up role in another stout run for the local racer. Robbie Knipe, Brandon McGill and Milton Mann completed the top five. Cole Hentschel, Tyler Johnston, Jimmy Johnson, Ralph Ronk and Corey Cormier completed the top ten.
The Upstate Auto Pure Stock feature found Travis Brockner jumping out front at the start of the feature with a great pass off of turn two. Brockner was able to hustle away from the rest of the field and would continue to do so for thirteen laps until mechanical gremlins found him pulling up lame while leading. Steve Williams inherited the lead and would lead the final two laps to claim his second win of the season. Defending track champion Bob Sleight finished second with John Hechinger, Ray Tarantino, Emerson Cargain Jr and Chris Kanuk completing the field.
The WRWD Radio NEWS Sprint Car Feature found Tom Radivoy starting on the pole and he made the most of it by leading all twenty laps enroot to his second win of the season. Things got hairy before the midway point of the event when a double flip involving Brandon Gates and Larry McVay took place with Geoff Quackenbush also being involved. No injuries were reported in the scary incident. On the restart Radivoy again was in command but Eric Jennings would push Radivoy for all he was worth as Radivoy won with Jennings in the runner-up role. Heidi Hedin had an excellent run with a third place finish While Corey Wood, Andrew Davis, Bob Tersillo and Jeremy Quick completed the field.
The Want Ad Digest Junior Slingshot main event was claimed by Brock Pinkerous for his ever win at the speedway.
The Emmanuel's Marketplace Four Cylinder Enduro event found a twenty four car starting field primed and ready to go. The event had many leaders in the first sixteen laps but Dave Donovan made it count as he found the space and the place to drive through the field to race to a solid over Gene Helms. Drew Boniface, George Barringer and George Zeininger completed the top five.
Mike Houghtaling grabbed the lead at the start and he raced to daylight to claim the Northeast Vintage Modified main. The race was marred around the midway point of the event when Bob Schmidt, who was running third at the time, lost a battle with the unforgiving boiler plate and found himself flipping several times on the backstretch. Schmidt was unhurt in the accident. Ray See Sr was second, with Rob Casti, John Roese and Mike Cole completing the field.
GEMSTONES:
Heat racing action was fast and furious as Danny Creeden, Ed Dachenhausen and Jesse Marks claimed victories in the Modifieds. Kyle Rohner and Matt Shultz captured wins in the Sportsman heats. The Rookie Sportsman heats went to Ryan McCartney and Jake Granacker. Tom Radivoy and Bob Tersillo captured the Sprint car heats. Pure Stock heats were claimed by Ray Tarantino and Bob Sleight.
New drivers on board for the evening included Bob Jashembowski and Jason Feinberg in the Rookie Sportsman. Larry Mekic made his first Accord appearance in the Modified and did a great job in his first outing. Greg McCloskey returned to action in the Sportsman but suffered from problems and was an early withdrawal.
Many thanks go out to a fine group of people who helped in the Bike Night Promotion. Kingston Nissan, Danny Creeden Racing/Roger Humsen, Jesse Marks, Dave & Joanne Rocket, John Bankich, Dreaming of the Mouse Travel, Chet Doolan, Upstate Auto and Accord Speedway.
