FREMONT, Ohio – Back in the 1960s and early 1970s, sprint cars mainly competed without the use of the wing bolted on the rollcage. And Fremont Speedway, which is celebrating its 61st season of racing, was no different. But, over the past three decades, sprint cars have mainly utilized the aerodynamics of the those top foils. That changes Saturday, May 12 at “The Track That Action Built.”

The Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series is gearing up for a historical tour of the Buckeye State that will kick off at Fremont Speedway on Root’s Poultry Night. In the storied history of Ohio auto racing, which began in 1897, there has never been a touring non wing sprint car series devoted to the state. The BOSS tour is excited to set the stage at one of the oldest and premiere facilities on the schedule, explained BOSS President Aaron Fry.

The traditional style BOSS sprint cars made their debut in 2011 with 2 events. Ione, California native Justin Grant scored the win at K-C Raceway aboard the Hery Motorsports #40. In October, 30 cars from 8 states competed at Wayne County Speedway where Russiaville, Indiana driver Dustin Smith scored a popular win piloting the #37 Lee's Hydraulics entry. The question now is when will the Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series have it's first winner from the Buckeye State?

Drivers from 5 states have expressed interest in the Fremont opener which is being co-sanctioned with the Lane Automotive Michigan Traditional Sprint Series. Fans will delight in "Root's Poultry Night" which will also include the Kistler Racing Products FAST (Fremont Attica Sprint Title) winged sprint car series and the Fremont Fence Dirt Trucks. A full field of BOSS and MTS points runners will be on hand, gunning for the $2,000 winners share and to battle the best of the local non wing racers. Several 305 sprint teams have also expressed an interest in taking the wing off and the BOSS series is proud to announce that Kear's Speed Shop in Tiffin, Ohio has come on board to sponsor a $100 bonus to the highest finishing steel block motor in the main event.

In addition to the $100 cash steel block bonus, drivers will also be competing for a $50 cash Hard Charger of the race award sponsored by Letemgrow.org. This award will go to the driver advancing the most positions in the A-Main event. A "Hard Luck" Award $50 gift certificate is also being awarded by BOSS officials courtesy of Saldana Race Products and SBI Fuel Systems. 2Grafic Distributions will provide framed photos of the A-Main and B-Main winners.

Once again, Hoosier Racing Tire and American Racer have come on board to sponsor driver bonuses to the highest A-Main finisher on all four of their brand of tire. The Hoosier tire bonus will be a certificate for a free right rear tire and the American Racer bonus will be a $100 certificate toward the purchase of any American Racer Tire. The BOSS series has an open tire rule, but drivers are limited to using the same right rear in their heat race and the A-Main event.

In other BOSS news, several new sponsors have come on board to help with the 2012 season and the points fund. BOSS would like to welcome All Pro Cylinder Heads, Kears Speed Shop, 2Grafic Distributions, Pro Shocks, SBI Fuel Systems, Saldana Race Products, Cleanway Carpet Cleaning, E.A. Home Supply, Hoosier Race Tire, American Racer, Ham Signs, Letemgrow.org, French Grimes Race Systems, ProStar Web Design and Indy Race Parts to the tour. In addition, the BOSS series would like to welcome Rick Lane and Rick Rarer as the official photographers of the series.

For the Fremont Speedway event, gates will open at 4 pm with racing action underway at 7 pm. Drivers are reminded that Schoenfeld Mufflers are required at Fremont along with Raceceivers. Fremont also uses transponders to help accurately score and time the racing events. There are no membership fees or sign-up fees to race with BOSS. This event will go by pill draw for heat race line-ups. Drivers who plan to attend this, or any BOSS events should contact the series to be included in promotional materials. Driver Signups and Pill Draw will be done at the BOSS tent which will open at 4 pm on raceday. Fremont Speedway will be paying in checks for this event.

PORT ROYAL, PA (4-28-12) By Brian Liskai - Confidence. Simply put, it s important in any sport, but particularly in sprint car racing. And when Greg Hodnett of Thomasville, Pa. walks through the gates at Port Royal Speedway, he exudes confidence. He led 29 of the 30 laps of the Weikert s Livestock University of Northwestern Ohio All Star Circuit of Champions Bob Weikert Memorial Saturday to take home $10,000 plus $2,900 in lap money.

I m very fortunate to have a team that has always run well here. We had a little racing luck tonight several guys didn t transfer from their heat and that put us in the dash and we were able to capitalize and start up front in the feature. I don t know what it is, but this place just fits my driving style. I ve been good here since the first time I raced here with the All Stars in 1998, said Hodnett beside his Trone Outdoor, Eagle Steel, Macri Concrete, H&H Excavating, Apple Chevrolet, Eagle Evergreens, Brickers backed #39.

It was Hodnett s second consecutive win of the Bob Weikert Memorial and his third win of 2012 at Port Royal. He now has 27 career victories at Port Royal. Hodnett now has six wins in 2012. The UNOH All Star victory is Hodnett s 15th career win with the series.

The UNOH All Star drivers fared well at the Juniata County oval, taking four of the top seven finishing positions against the Pennsylvania Posse.

Watertown, Connecticut s David Gravel and Hodnett started on the pole and flew the UNOH All Star colors high throughout the event after leading the first lap, as did third place starter Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania s Danny Holtgraver.

After Gravel led the first circuit of the race, Hodnett pulled a slider in the first corner to take the lead and began to pull away. Hodnett s pace was halted before three laps could be completed however when fifth starter Stevie Smith looped his car exiting turn two and got hit hard by Blaine Heimbach. The red flag unfurled for the crash that saw Heimbach s #12 turn over. There were no injuries, but both drivers were done for the night.

Hodnett restarted in control and flew away the final 28 non-stop laps.

Holtgraver blasted into second on lap 11 after a spirited battle with Gravel, and for a short time, was able to close on Hodnett as he worked lapped traffic. But, Hodnett s experience at the oval was just too much, as he was able to extend his lead over the last half of the event, taking the checkered with nearly a half track advantage. Holtgraver, competing at Port Royal for the first time in his career, would finish second followed by Gravel. The top three finishers would receive a jacket from the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum.

Fourth went to Sam Hafertepe Jr. with All Star regular Paul McMahan finishing fifth. All Star East Region point leader Daryn Pittman would come home sixth with three time series champion and current national points leader Dale Blaney seventh followed by Aaron Ott, Mark Smith and Fred Rahmer.

I caught him (Hodnett) once in traffic, but once he got clear he was gone. I m happy as hell to hold on to second having never seen this place before.It s a fun track very fast. I can t wait to come back here, said Holtgraver beside his Kargo Quality Cars, Alternative Power Source, Mel Bagley Auto Service, BKW Transport backed machine.

Gravel too expressed how impressed he was with Hodnett s performance. I don t know what they did between the dash and feature we beat him pretty good in the dash. What ever it was, he was gone. We will take third and continue to work hard. I know we have some wins coming our way, said Gravel beside his Musco Fuel, P&M Transportation, JRC Transportation, Model Craft backed #89G.

Heat races for the 38-car field worth $100 each in honor of late journalist Jerry Reigle as sponsored by hoseheads.com went to Tim Shaffer, Chad Layton, Brian Montieth and Doug Esh.

Jac Haudenschild set fast time over the stellar field with a fast lap of
15.693 seconds, just off of the track record of 15.652. Haudenschild pocketed $200 for his efforts.

Gravel won the dash to earn the pole for the feature and set a new six-lap track record with a time of 1:40.595.

Rahmer set a new 12-lap track record by scoring the B Main with a time of 3:30.028.
Mike Erdley, who suffered motor ills in warm-ups and scratched for the night, and Nate Snyder each received $100 as the highest drivers in Port Royal points who failed to qualify for the event. The awards were sponsored by Crankwerkz of Newville and Guisewite Moving Services of Paxtonville.

Mechanicsburg, PA (4-27-12) By Brian Liskai There's a new Pennsylvania Posse member in town and his name is Logan Schuchart. The high school senior scored his first career victory at the historic Williams Grove Speedway Friday and his first career win against the University of Northwestern Ohio All Star Circuit of Champions.

Schuchart, whose car is owned by his hall of fame grandfather Bobby Allen, held off Danny Dietrich to score the $5,000 Lawrence Chevrolet sprint car win. With that first win under his belt, Schuchart, 19, only has 42 more All Star wins to record to catch Allen who is ninth on the series all-time win list with 43 victories.

With the victory, Schuchart, who hails from Hanover, Pa., moves the Pennsylvania Posse's win streak against the travelling All Stars to 25-0 at Williams Grove.

Dietrich, who won the track s season opener in March, would stay within striking distance of Schuchart after the youngster took the lead on lap 3, but the youngster never altered, running smooth and straight along the inside line of the fast half-mile.

I could hear Danny back there, he had to be close I heard a motor behind me, said Schuchart beside his Shark Racing, Rick Fogle and Sons Custom Pole Buildings, Speedway 94, Don Ott Engines, Bealing Homes, C& B Mushrooms backed #1s. Then, when we got that caution with two to go there was water splashed up on the track in three and four and they threw a bunch of loose dirt on it and I had to change my line. But, the car was very darn good and it stuck.

Congrats to Logan on his first win. He was great on the bottom. I couldn t run down there we were just way too tight, said Dietrich beside his Sandoe s Fruit Market, APM Building.com, Route 30 Seafood, Kendall Motor Oil, Alwine Farms, Whisler s Dry Cleaning backed machine. All night it took two to four laps before our car would rotate through the corners and that probably cost us the raced tonight.

We have a first, second, fourth and seventh at the Grove this season and probably had two other top five runs but had rockers break. It s been a great season so far, added Dietrich.

UNOH All Star regular Paul McMahan would lead the field which saw 47 competitors sign in for the night to the green and took the early lead.

Schuchart, who started outside the front row, would use an inside move off turn two to grab the lead with two laps recorded.

Veteran Donnie Krietz and Dietrich were moving through the top five and as McMahan slid back with steering woes. Schuchart continued to run a smooth race as Krietz and Dietrich closed and raced each other hard for second.

Even in lapped traffic Schuchart maintained the lead, driving like a seasoned veteran one mistake and Dietrich was there to pounce.

The only caution of the feature flew with two laps to go as Steve Buckwalter stopped on the inside of the front stretch after flames erupted from under the hood.

That yellow was the last thing I wanted to see, said Schuchart.
I thought he might crack under pressure there. I ve been there. When you are trying to get that first win and you know you have someone fast behind you I had hoped to rattle his chains and get him thinking too much. But, he held his composure and hit his marks. He did an awesome job on that restart, said Dietrich.

But, Schuchart was up to the challenge on the restart and was able to hold on for the win over Dietrich, Kreitz, Greg Hodnett and Daryn Pittman.

Stevie Smith, McMahan, Dale Blaney, Tim Shaffer and Brian Montieth completed the top 10.

410 SPRINT CARS COMING TO BRIDGEPORT SPEEDWAY!
Heffner Racing Co-Promotes Night of Wings Show June 19

Swedesboro, NJ (April 27, 2012) – Bridgeport Speedway is thrilled to announce that 410 sprint cars will return to the raceway on Tuesday, June 19, for the Night of Wings show featuring a 25 lap race worth $7,000 to the winner (after posting a $100 gambler fee or $5,000 if the winning driver chooses not to participate in the gambler fee.) “Take the Green” money for this very special race will be a cool $500.

New track promoters Doug and Gena Hoffman are pleased to welcome Mike Heffner, owner of the Lelands.com-sponsored Heffner Racing Enterprises team, (piloted by 410 sprint car driver Daryn Pittman) as co-promoter of the race.

“We have heard many positive reviews of Bridgeport Speedway under the Hoffman promotional team and I am excited to be a part of the return of 410 Sprint Cars to Southern New Jersey,” commented Heffner.

A unique format is being planned for this event. Upon entry to the grounds, drivers will draw a pill to determine their heat race groups. Each grouping will go out for time trials and an inversion of the top four (4) will set the starting lineup of each respective heat race. Drivers not in the top four (4) of their groups will be lined up in the qualifying events by time. The first two (2) finishers in each heat race are eligible for the feature redraw and the fastest qualifier in each grouping will be added as well providing the driver finishes the heat race in a qualifying position. All other heat race qualifiers will be assigned a starting position in the main event by time.

The top two finishers from each heat race will receive entry into the Foot Dash for Cash, with the victor of this running race getting more than $1,000 in cash and contingency prizes. A multitude of contingency awards is also planned, including a fast time award of at least $200 from Jakes Carts. To complete the show, the TSRS Sprint Cars will be on the card with Sprint Cars from PASS and CRSA invited as well. Plus, $.50 Chicken Wings will be served from the concession area on this special night.

Pit gates open at 4:00 p.m. the day of the race, with grandstand turnstiles unlocking at 5:00 p.m. A pre-race fan fest is scheduled to start at 5:30 p.m. Hot laps get underway at 7:00 p.m. with racing scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. An entry fee of $100 per car will include three pit passes for this event. Additional pit admissions are set at $35 per person. Adult grandstand admission is $25 for advanced purchase and $30 on the day of the show. Further information on advanced ticket sales is forthcoming. A rain date of Wednesday, June 20 has been established for this event.

RISLONE URC SPRINT SERIES
.

.

The “Wild Child” Josh Weller of Mertztown, PA will be in the field when the Rislone URC Sprint Series opens their sixty-fifth season on Saturday night, April 28 at the Delaware International Speedway.

Weller, undecided over the winter months about his plans for 2012 announced today, that they plan to chase the URC Championship Title. Weller finished a strong third in the 2011 Rislone point chase and was in striking distance of the title most of the season. Driving the family owned #63, Josh had one win last year with a career total of four URC wins. 2012 will mark the eighth season with URC for Josh Weller.

Sponsors riding with the Weller URC sprint car include Assured Automation, Phillips Garage, CnB Mushroom, Shearers Sales & Service, RFG Water Heaters, Hunter Peterbilt Truck Sales and BDU Incorporated. Rick Weller will be car owner and crew chief joined by his wife Kim, Tina Weller (Josh’s wife), Chris Swoyer and Bobby Gash who will make up the all-important crew.

“We plan to run for the championship and to do that we need to finish well and avoid tearing up equipment”, said Rick Weller when he announced their plans to run URC this season. There is continued talk about URC ‘s move to double file restarts in the coming season. “I have my own opinion about it and it’s different then Josh, who seems to think it could play to his advantage. Rick added, “It’s going to be one of those things that can help you one night and hurt you on the next night, but we’ll have to wait and see”.

Over the past three seasons, Josh Weller has quickly developed into one of URC’s best, a threat for a win and always in the thick of the title chase. He is remarkably fast at one of URC’s most challenging and non-forgiving speedway’s, that being Grandview. As a car owner, Rick Weller is not real thrilled with the one-third mile bull ring, but his son seems to have the place figured out and knows how to get to the front. On the big tracks, Josh is very comfortable and always finds himself in the thick of the action. Although not on the URC schedule this year, Josh especially likes the Georgetown Speedway where the speeds are high and he finds his way around with ease. It’s one of those tracks that you either love it or hate it.

The announcement of Josh Weller returning to the Rislone URC Sprint Series is still another strong endorsement of the organization. The talent filled roster also includes Ed Aikin, Kramer Williamson, Randy West, Robbie Stillwaggon, Chad Trout, Jonathan Swanson, Joey Biasi, Art Liedl, Tim Hogue, Jimmy Stitzel and Andy Best just to name a few. Defending rookie star Troy Betts has signed up for the entire season and URC rookies for 2012 include Chris Glandan, Dan Mazy, Steven Downs and Ryan Kissinger.

URC offers many incentives for the coming season from increased payoffs, bonus money for URC regulars and a well-priced American Racer right rear tire that will be sold for $159. We invite all interested parties to visit the URC website at: www.urcsprints.com and be sure to go to the Competitors Page for all the details. All special events and the weekly URC payoffs are posted as well as the 2012 URC Rule Book.

ATTICA, Ohio – In one of the most exciting finishes in the history of Attica Raceway Park, Craig Mintz passed Stevie Smith coming down to the checkered to record his first ever University of Northwestern Ohio All Star Circuit of Champions victory Saturday for the second night of the HD Supply Spring Nationals.

Mintz, who was passed on the last lap the previous night by Dale Blaney for the victory, took the checkered flag .146 seconds ahead of Smith much to the delight of the capacity crowd.

“Stevie took one away from me about eight years ago and it was great racing with him…he raced me clean. I just tried to save my tires as much as I could and try to run through the middle. He was really good on the bottom and I was waiting for just one minor mistake and he really didn’t make any. I just got a really good run coming out of four and it was wreckers or checkers…I wasn’t lifting on that one,” said Mintz beside his Ti22 Performance, Real Geese Decoys, R2C Filters, Erie Shore Propane, Kistler Engines backed machine.

For Mintz, from Gibsonburg, Ohio, it was his sixth career win at Attica and he became the 176th different driver to win an All Star event.

“My dad (Les), Brad, Kevin, Kent…these guys behind me put a heck of a race car together. I have to thank my fiancée for doing everything she can for me. We worked well together this week,” added Mintz.

For Smith, a former Spring Nationals winner, a lot of progress was made over the weekend with the new CL Motorsports Black Bandit #19.

“I kept hearing and seeing him…I knew he was good. I was trying to use the whole race track up…he just got beside me and it was over. He did a great job,” said Smith beside his DDNI, GLR Investments backed #19. “I felt like we really gained here tonight. Last night we kind of went the wrong way. I’m proud of my guys…they are doing a great job and this is a great organization and I’m glad to be a part of it.”

Two-time All Star champion Greg Wilson was also excited by the improvement for his All Star Plumbing & Heating, Hercules Tires, Ohio Logistics, DNC Hydraulics backed car.

“I was patient…Brian (Kemenah, crew chief) about being easy on the tires. I road around there for awhile creeping on the bottom and jumped up there pretty good but I really wasn’t hustling. When I saw the five to go I got after it a little bit. I don’t know if the best car won tonight but it was a hell of a race ahead of me,” said Wilson beside his Veryl Warnimont owned machine. “I want to thank all the fans for coming out on Easter weekend…it was a little chilly. Whether you’re a Greg Wilson fan or not, we need all you fans and we damn well appreciate it.”|

The 40-lap All Star feature had the fans on the edge of their seats the entire distance. Mintz would bolt into the lead at the drop of the green with Tim Shaffer, Wilson, Smith and Dustin Daggett in tow. Mintz would pull away slightly with Shaffer, Wilson and Smith waging a tremendous battle for second until the first caution flew on lap 10. When the green came back out, Mintz had his hands full with a high flying Smith while Wilson tried to hold of Shaffer for third with Friday night’s winner Dale Blaney closing.

Mintz and Smith raced side-by-side from lap 10-15 before Smith shot around for the lead, with Mintz glued to his rear bumper. Lap 17 was nearly catastrophic for Smith, as he bounced hard into the cushion in turns three and four, but he gathered his Black Bandit car back up and continued to lead over Mintz, a closing Wilson, Shaffer, Blaney, Chad Kemenah and Randy Hanagan up from his 13th starting spot. Smith and Mintz would run nose to tail and at times side by side through lap 24 when they encountered lapped traffic. Mintz began searching for the right spot to make his move and on lap 28, raced to Smith’s inside in turns three and four, bring Wilson along for a tremendous three car battle.

That trio would keep the crowd on their feet as they came to the flag stand for the five to go signal. Now with a little bit of clear track in front of them, Smith and Mintz pulled away slightly and continued their side-by-side duel with Wilson comfortably in third while Blaney and Hannagan rounded out the top five. As Smith and Mintz took the white – Smith on the top of turns one and two and Mintz in the middle, Mintz would get a good run down the back stretch. Smith would go to the cushion in three and four while Mintz ran the middle and as Smith tried to break his momentum, Mintz drove to the outside and it was a drag race to the checkered where Mintz won by a nose.
