TONY STEWART TOPS FORTY-SEVEN CAR FIELD IN URC/PATRIOT 360 SPRINT CHALLENGE FRIDAY NIGHT AT BLACK ROCK SPEEDWAY
DUNDEE, NY . . . . . Black Rock Speedway Promoter Dean Hoag defied Mother Nature and every weather forecast during the day and successfully completed the URC/Patriot 360 Sprint Challenge with NASCAR star Tony Stewart taking the victory. With a greater then 70% chance of rain all day, Hoag beat all odds to present a thrilling show for the fans. A strong field of forty-seven sprints cars took part in the co-sanctioned United Racing Company and Patriot Sprint Tour event. Tony Stewart drew the pole starting position in the 25 lap feature event but failed to lead every lap. Oley, PA driver Randy “the wild, wild, West” took the lead from Stewart at the start of the event and held the lead for the first seven laps. After two lead changes on lap eight, Stewart took the top spot and went on to victory, collecting $4,000 for the victory
Five heat race event were necessary to determine the starting line-up with victories going to Tony Stewart, Chuck Hebing, Randy West and Jason Barney as the twin “B” Main events were won by Josh Weller and Glenn Styres. The Original Pizza Logs Cash Dash was won by Don Adamczk.
The 25 lap Rislone URC Sprint Series feature event saw Tony Stewart draw the pole starting position to start the main event. URC driver Randy West was not intimidated by the NASCAR Champion and wrestled the lead from Stewart at the drop of the green flag. West quickly pulled away from Stewart and the rest of the field to hold a comfortable lead, at least for the short term.
Chuck Hebing brought out the first caution on lap three when his sprinter came to a stop in turn four. On the restart, West mastered the track with Stewart in second and Jason Blarney third. Stewart began to reel in West and the stage was set for a battle. On lap eight, West and Stewart exchanged the lead three times before Stewart finally kept the top spot to lead lap eight. West followed in second with Barney third.
Stewart ran to hide from the rest of the field and West now had to deal with Barney and Davie “no panic” Franek as they challenged for second. Bobby Breen, winner of the spring URC/Patriot Challenge was fifth.
By lap twenty, Breen was now in third and challenging West for the runner-up spot. On lap twenty-one, Breen spun down the backstretch, bringing out the caution for the final time of this event. With lightening flashing in the sky, the race restarted with West taking his last shot at the lead. Stewart was not going to allow that to happen as he remained the leader and went on to score his second consecutive Rislone URC Sprint Series feature win. Randy West finished second followed by Jason Barney, Davie Franek and Justin Barger.
25 LAP FEATURE FINISH: $4,000 Tony Stewart, Randy West, Jason Barney, Davie Franek, Justin Barger, Tommy Wickam, Dylan Swienik, Ed Aikin, Scott Kreutter, Don Ademczyk, George Suprick, Bryan Howland, Josh Weller, Kevin Darling, Art Liedl, Tracy Potter, Chad Trout, Ryan Linder, Dan Mazy, Patrick Vigneault, Bobby Breen, Chuck Hebing, Jonathan Swanson, Kramer Williamson, Glenn Styres.

Lucas Wolfe wins WOO event at Bloomington

World of Outlaws
Wolfe’s Wait is Over after World of Outlaws Win in Bloomington
He leads the final 22 laps and survives a green-white-checkered finish
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Aug. 3, 2012 — It’s finally over.
There were hugs and high fives, smiles and tears, greeting a subdued Lucas Wolfe in Victory Lane on a muggy Friday evening at Bloomington Speedway. Wolfe led the final 22 laps to claim his first career World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series feature victory.
“I’m not very loud of any kind; I stay pretty even,” he said. “Obviously I’m usually this way on a terrible night and on the best of nights I stay pretty calm, but I’ll be pretty happy. I might do a bit of screaming in the helmet, but I’ll try to keep it pretty cool for right now.”
After many near wins during the last five seasons as an Outlaws driver and overcoming a gamut of mechanical woes this year, Wolfe had arguably the best car in Friday’s main event. He charged from his seventh starting position to the top three within the first 10 laps and took the lead before the midpoint. However, it wasn’t without drama.
Wolfe was leading by a straightaway with less than two laps remaining when the event’s second caution was waved for a spin by Kody Kinser in turn two. That erased Wolfe’s commanding advantage and he chose the inside lane on the double-file restart.
Wolfe powered into the lead, but the final caution came on the restart as Sammy Swindell and Kerry Madsen tangled in turn four. However, once again, Wolfe mastered the restart and drove away to the sizeable victory.
“I was a little bit worried about the double-file restarts from where the track might have got a little bit of rubber laid down, about how it was going to be to get going,” he said. “I felt the bottom was my best bet and obviously that was the wrong decision. I was able to get a good enough start there and obviously it didn’t count anyway because we had an accident.
“(I) certainly was happy to see it go back single file. That was a relief that we didn’t have to do anymore double-file restarts and were able to just finish it right there. I’d had enough; my nerves were about shot. (I was) certainly happy to finally finish a deal off.”
Joey Saldana, who led the first 18 laps after starting on the pole, lost the lead in traffic as Wolfe split him and a car about to be lapped while the trio raced down the backstretch. Saldana then held off Donny Schatz for the runner-up position.
“It’s well deserved,” Saldana said. “The guy’s been knocking on the door and having bad luck.
“He could maneuver through traffic really well. I could get through traffic as long as it went my way, but I couldn’t force the issue. I had to settle for second and I really had nothing for him.”
Both drivers shared a special moment with Wolfe in Victory Lane.
“I can still remember that feeling,” said Schatz as he reminisced about his first Outlaws win. “I’m happy for him. It’s been a long time coming. He should have won one long ago, but I’m sure tonight’s very special for him having to wait that long.”
Jason Sides passed Cody Darrah for fourth place on the final restart. Greg Wilson finished sixth, Kraig Kinser was seventh, Logan Schuchart ended eighth, Craig Dollansky placed ninth and Steve Kinser, who was involved in a flip on the opening lap and had to restart 21st, rounded out the top 10.

TONY STEWART WINS 7TH ANNUAL URC RISLONE SPRINT NATIONALS FRIDAY NIGHT AT WILLIAMS GROVE
Posted by: | Comments- United Racing Company
NASCAR Champion Tony Stewart invaded the Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night to complete in the 7th Annual Rislone Sprint Nationals sanctioned by the United Racing Company (URC) and came home the winner of the 25 lap feature event, earning $4,000 for the victory. Stewart took the lead on lap four and ran uncontested to his first career win in our nation’s oldest traveling sprint cars series. URC is celebrating their sixty-fifth season in 2012.
A field of thirty-five sprint cars took part in the program with heat race victories going to Tim Berkheimer, Chad Trout and Randy West. Aaron Ott came home the winner of the “B” Main. Ott tangled with Art Liedl during the running of the first heat with both cars flipping in turn three. Ott started last in the “B” main and came home the winner and delivered a strong second place feature finish.
In the 25 lap URC Rislone Sprint Nationals, the red flag was displayed before the first lap was completed when Troy Betts and Tim Berkheimer tangled in turn one with Betts flipping. No injuries reported in the crash and Berkheimer was able to restart at the rear of the field.
At the start of the race, Chad Trout led the first three laps with Tony Stewart taking the lead on lap four. Trout battled back but Stewart was superior and eventually gained solid control of the lead. On lap five, the caution was displayed, this time for a disabled Jonathan Swanson in turn three.
The restart saw Stewart set a blistering pace followed by Trout and URC’s point leader Robbie Stillwaggon. JJ Grasso moved into the picture and on lap seven, he was racing in fourth. Ryan Wilson spun on the homestretch on lap eight and the caution was displayed once again.
Stewart brought the field down for the restart and now JJ Grasso was racing in second and looking to reel in Stewart. A problem with the electrical box sidelined the Grasso sprinter, bringing the final caution out of the night on lap ten.
At the halfway point of the race, Tony Stewart remained the leader but now Aaron Ott was racing in second followed by Chad Trout, Stillwaggon and Franek. Ott went to work to chase down the leader but Stewart had all the advantages.
The balance of the race ran non-stop with Stewart coming home the winner followed by Aaron Ott, Chad Trout, Robbie Stillwaggon and Davie “No Panic” Franek.
FEATURE FINISH: Tony Stewart, Aaron Ott, Chad Trout, Robbie Stillwaggon, Davie Franek, Eric Tomerck, Randy West, Ryan Bohlke, Ed Aikin, Josh Weller, Tim Berkheimer, Andy Best, Kevin Darling, Tim Hogue, Jimmy Stitzel, Joey Biasi, Bryn Gohn, Steve Downs, JJ Grasso, Mark Bitner, Ryan Wilson, Jonathan Swanson, Scott Lutz, Dave Betts.

Smoke Remains Strong at Ohsweken
Posted by: | Comments- World of Outlaws
The NASCAR star earns his second World of Outlaws win this month and third overall
.
.
.
.
OHSWEKEN, Ontario — July 31, 2012 — Tony Stewart, Ohsweken Speedway and Victory Lane are beginning to become synonymous.
The NASCAR driver led all 30 laps on Tuesday to claim his third career World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series victory and his second in a row at the 3/8-mile oval. Counting Monday’s win in Corr/Pak Sprints action, he has ended his last three events at Ohsweken Speedway a top the podium.
“Last year we won the thing running through the middle and tonight we were really good right on the top edge of the race track,” Stewart said. “It wasn’t really anything consistent between the nights. It’s just a neat, little race track. It’s a lot of fun. You can race all over the place.
“And what an honor it is to stand here with this group of guys. To win with the World of Outlaws is awesome.”
A year after picking up his first-ever Outlaws win, Stewart dominated in the return to Ohsweken Speedway in front of the largest crowd in the track’s history. He maneuvered from third to first in the opening turn of the dash and held off World of Outlaws championship standings leader Craig Dollansky for his first dash victory of the season.
That earned Stewart the pole for the feature on a track that had started to slick off early in the heat races. The main event was caution free and featured a variety of close calls throughout traffic for Stewart and Dollansky, who stayed within several car lengths the entire race.
“He’s rolling around here good,” said Dollansky, who has recorded a top three in four of his last five events. “He did last year and he did again this year. We were with him and working through lapped traffic. A couple things go a little bit different in lapped traffic, I think we had a shot at the win.”
The duo entered traffic on lap nine, which forced both to move around the track and leave the preferred top groove. Midway through the feature Stewart had to check up as a car slid in front of him exiting turn four, which allowed Dollansky to close to the rear bumper. However, Stewart maintained the position and later held off a late rally from Dollansky, who closed to within two car lengths on the final lap.
“You just had to play when you caught those guys a little bit and make sure you didn’t get to a part of the corner where you just got stuck,” Stewart said. “Just keeping the momentum up was the big thing just to get by those guys.”
Had there been a late caution, Tony Stewart Racing driver Steve Kinser could have played a spoiler role. Kinser charged from 12th to sixth in the first 12 laps and cracked the top five at the midpoint of the feature.
As Kraig Kinser worked past Donny Schatz for third place with five laps remaining, Steve Kinser split the duo and eventually gained third place on the ensuing lap. He finished third to earn a podium for the second consecutive race after starting in the middle of the field.
“We’re making recoveries, but that’s not the way to be doing it,” Kinser said.
Kraig Kinser, who set quick time in qualifying, placed fourth and Schatz was fifth. Cody Darrah ended sixth, Chad Kemenah seventh, Sammy Swindell eighth, Kerry Madsen ninth and Michael Parent charged from last – 24th – to round out the top 10 and earn the KSE Hard Charger Award.
