RACING NEWS THE WAY IT IS MEANT TO BE

Kevin Swindell Repeats Chili Bowl Nationals Triumph in Silver Anniversary Event!

Len Hayward, TULSA, Okla. (January 15, 2011) - It took 25 years for a back-to-back winner to happen at the Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals Presented by General Tire, and it was only fitting that it was a Swindell to do it on the event’s Silver Anniversary.

Kevin Swindell added a Silver Driller to his trophy case that will likely sit beside the Golden Driller he won in 2010, as he held off a late charge from his father and five-time Chili Bowl champ, Sammy, on the final lap to take the victory in the 50-lap main event.

Sammy Swindell notched his third straight podium finish at the QuikTrip Center’s Tulsa Expo Raceway, while hard-charging New Zealander Michael Pickens overcame an early incident to charge his way back into the third spot. Native Oklahoman Jonathan Beason finished fourth after starting Saturday night in the B Main, and Bryan Clauson, who led the race’s first 12 laps, finished fifth.

Saturday’s victory marked the seventh time in 25 Chili Bowls that a Swindell has stood in victory lane but it was the first time in the history of the historic event that a winner had won in consecutive years.

But it wasn’t easy for the younger Swindell, as he not only had to hold off a late charge from his father but he was helped by a total of six caution flags in the race’s final 15 laps. Those 15 laps, though produced some exciting racing. Kevin Swindell, driving the No. 39 Swindell Motorsports Spike Esslinger, moved into second on Lap 34 as he passed Clauson, who had been battling with Sammy Swindell through much of the first half of the race.

Then on a Lap 40 restart, Kevin found the opening he needed on a restart and passed Sammy for the lead with an inside move in Turn 1 for the lead. But two more cautions awaited on Lap 44 when Brad Loyet stopped and Loyet Motorsports teammate Damion Gardner stopped on the inside of Turn 2 on Lap 49

Kevin got a good jump on the the Lap 44 restart as Sammy stayed in second with both Pickens and Beason trying to work their way around the five-time Chili Bowl champ. The two Swindells stay in first and second over the next few laps as Pickens kept working to make a pass on Sammy Swindell but could never figure out a way to complete it. After the caution for Gardner on Lap 49, the stage was set for a two-lap showdown involving the two Swindells, Pickens, Beason and Clauson.

Kevin was able to get a good jump on the start but as the checkered flag was waving, he jumped the cushion in Turn 4 and that opened the door for Sammy to try for the win but Kevin gathered his mount and won by fractions of a second. Pickens was forced to stop when Shane Cottle slowed at the top of Turn 4 at the halfway point in the 50-lap race, but was able to restart.

Clauson, meanwhile, was able to keep going after he looked like his night might be done on two separate occasions in the final half of the race. Clauson broke loose on Lap 36 trying to make a pass and looked to have spun but he gathered the car up. Then on Lap 41, Clauson and Sammy Swindell make contact, which collects Nick Knepper and Cory Kruseman but Clauson again is able to continue.

Brad Kuhn finished sixth, with Bobby East seventh, Cole Whitt eighth, Jon Stanbrough ninth and Daryn Pittman rounding out the top 10.

Brad Loyet and Kuhn won the two 20-lap B Mains on Saturday, and Scott Weir and Casey Shuman split winning honors in the two C Mains. Californian Ronnie Gardner and Arizona’s R.J. Johnson won the two D Mains, and A.J. Fike and Rick Hendrix won the two E Mains.

F Main winners were Jody Rosenboom and Aaron Pierce, and Garrett Hansen and Brandon Waelti were winnings in the G Mains.

Austin Brown and Greg Bragg won the two H Main events, with Cameron Hagin and Kellen Conover were victors in the two I Mains. Troy Rutherford and Courtney Erfurth won the J Mains, and Donovan Peterson took the shortened K Main event.

RACING NEWS THE WAY IT IS MEANT TO BE

Camargo, IL
By Brian Liskai
The O’Reilly Auto Parts All Star Circuit of Champion Sprint Cars are less than a month away from embarking on an exciting 2011 season that will include a new regional points system that will pay out more money to more participating teams.

“America’s Series” will kick off the 2011 dirt track racing season with its annual Winter Nationals swing in Georgia and Florida. The All Stars will compete in five races at three different tracks between Feb. 3 and Feb. 10.

This will also begin the All Star’s new regional points system, which will feature approximately 20 race dates from Georgia and Florida to Central Pennsylvania and east including New York and Canada. The region will pay a champion $20,000 to win the points and will pay back to the 10th place driver.

The action heats up at the three-eighths mile Screven Motor Speedway in Sylvania, Ga. on Thursday, Feb. 3 for a big $10,000 to win event. It marks the first ever All Star appearance on the red clay oval.

Joining the All Star sprints will also be the O’Reilly Auto Parts All Star Late Model Series.

Two-time All Star Sprint Champion Tim Shaffer – the Steel City Outlaw – will be looking to continue his phenomenal 2010 season which saw him capture 16 All Star wins in addition to sprint car racing’s biggest jewel, the Knoxville Nationals. However, with the All Star’s new regional point system, Shaffer could have his hands full with the likes of Pennsylvania Posse members Lance Dewease, Fred Rahmer, Stevie Smith, Chad Layton, Greg Hodnett, Justin Henderson, Mark Smith, Todd Shaffer and more. Throw in the All Star regulars like two-time champion Greg Wilson, Ohio Sprint Speedweek Champion David Gravel and 2010 All Star Rookie of the Year Cap Henry, three-time All Star Champion Dale Blaney and some World of Outlaw teams, and this opening season event has the makings of a classic.

The All Stars will then continue south to the Sunshine State for a two-day event at the three-eighths mile oval of Ocala Speedway in Ocala, Florida. The Feb. 4 and 5 events marks the third straight year the All Stars will compete at the facility, which kicks off the 28th Annual All Star Winternationals in Florida. Friday night’s feature will pay $3,000 to win and Saturday night is a $5,000 to win race.

Last year Danny “The Dude” Lasoski” held off Shaffer in an epic green-white-checkered finish after early leaders Cale Conley and Brad Sweet made contact on the last lap battling for the lead, with both getting upside down.

The unique D-shaped 3/8th mile track produces some exciting racing with its sweeping turns 1 and 2 leading to an almost continuous turn down the backstretch to a tight turns 3 and 4 and a very long, fast straightaway. This will mark the track’s 59th year of racing, making it the oldest track in the State of Florida

After a brief pause the drivers All Stars return to action for their yearly stop at the Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Fla., as part of the 40th Annual DIRTcar Nationals. On Wednesday night, Feb. 9, action heats up with a $5,000 to win event and then one night later on Feb. 10 the Sprint Car feature will pay $5,000 as well.

Ian Cumens Aims To Keep Streak Alive In Upcoming Indoor TQ-Midget Series Events
By JERRY REIGLE

TRENTON, NJ – Ian Cumens has an amazing streak and it’s one he doesn’t want to see end.

He has yet to sit on the sidelines for a Saturday night indoor racing program at either Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J., or the Dunkin’ Donuts Center in Providence, R.I.

He wants the streak to continue again as the indoor racing TQ-Midget racing series continues again in a few weeks as the 10th annual Gambler’s Classic in Atlantic City on Jan. 27-29 and the Coffee Cup in Providence on Feb. 5.

“We want to see that streak continue,” Cumens, 18, said. “I love racing indoors. You get to run with the best in the businesses. There is top Midget car driver like Joey Payne and Lou Cicconi at both events. Plus, you get the drivers from other classes too. Stewart Friesen has become a contender every time we go indoor racing.”

Cumens is carrying some major success himself.

The Downingtown West (Pa.) High School senior claimed the ATQMRA title, a year after his older sister Alison won it.

“The experience you get from racing indoors definitely helps in outdoor action,” Cumens said. “Indoors, you are so close lap after lap. I know of a few situations where it came into play this past racing season.

“There was a night at Bethel Motor (N.Y.) Speedway. We started 13th and ended up winning that night. That close-knit racing you get from racing indoors definitely helped us out at that event. The same can be said for the close racing at Mountain (Pa.) Speedway and Wall (N.J.) Speedway.”

Cumens will drive a family-owned Colin Martin-built Spitfire Chassis TQ-Midget. It’s the same car he drove the past few seasons in indoor racing action. The Spitfire Chassis is a bulkier car in comparison to the more compact TQ-Midget designed cars.

“It has bigger tubing, but I feel safe and comfortable in it,” Cumens said. “I know we’re just as competitive with the TQs as well.”

Also, this year marks the first time in history that the indoor races will be held on consecutive weekends.

“If it was up to me, we’d race indoors all winter,” Cumens said. “The good part of going back-to-back is you don’t have to wait for month until you race again. You go from Atlantic City right to Providence. On the bad side, if you get crashed in AC, then you have to rush to make the repairs for the next weekend.”

Cumens is hoping that there is no need to make those repairs. If history proves correct, he should be a contender in the A-Mains.

As for the future, Cumens, who was scheduled to test in the ARCA stock car series at Daytona International Speedway last month, will defend his ATQMRA title.

In addition, Cumens plans to enter a few North Eastern Midget Association-sanctioned events in ’11.

Tickets for the Atlantic City Indoor Race are currently on sale through Ticketmaster (1-800-736-1420) or online at www.ticketmaster.com.

Tickets are available with no extra fee applied at the Boardwalk Hall box office and at the Area Auto Racing News office in Trenton, N.J. at 609-888-3618

Weekend activity will begin on Fri., Jan. 28, at 4:30 p.m. with time trials. The night will include heat events for TQ-Midgets and B-Mains for the 600cc Micro Sprint Cars, Slingshots and Champ Karts. It will culminate with a 20-lap 600cc Micro Sprint Car main event and a 30-lap TQ-Midget feature race.
The Sat., Jan. 29, program kicks off at 5 p.m. with the Fanfest, which will be held on the indoor racing surface.
The Saturday-night portion of the show is slated to begin at 7 p.m. Heat races and semis will lead up the 40-lap "Gamblers Classic" for TQ-Midgets, with Slingshots and Champ Karts also on the schedule.
Tickets for the Coffee Cup are available at the Dunkin’ Donuts box office, online at www.ticketmaster.com or by calling Ticketmaster at 1-800-745-3000.
TQ-Midgets and Champ Karts will share the one-day card which begins at 7 p.m.
