RACING NEWS THE WAY IT IS MEANT TO BE

We'd like to extend Happy Birthday wishes to Chris Economaki, who turns 90 years old today. Mr. Economaki's contributions to American motorsports journalism are second to none. I personally remember fondly his work at CBS Sports when the network covered NASCAR Winston Cup events and also reading his columns in National Speed Sport News. He certainly made for some of the best Victory Lane interviews.

So Happy Birthday Chris!

Chris Economaki takes some notes at Grandview Speedway, June 3, 2008.

CAMARGO, IL. (10-4-10) By Brian Liskai– The 2010 season has been one for the record books for the O’Reilly Auto Parts All Star Circuit of Champion Sprint Cars. It will come to an end with the traditional Hoosier Fall Classic on Saturday, Oct. 9 at the ultra-modern high banks of Lawrenceburg Speedway.

Knoxville Nationals champion Tim Shaffer has already locked up his second straight All Star title and the $50,000 that goes with it. Shaffer has been the most dominant sprint car driver in the nation in 2010, having won 20 features including 15 All Star events and is coming off an impressive weekend with the World of Outlaws where he posted a second and a sixth place finish against the PA Posse at the National Open at Williams Grove Speedway.

Two-time series champion Greg Wilson holds an 81-point margin for second in the series point standings over 18-year-old Connecticut driver David Gravel, who has had a break-out summer, not only claiming the Knoxville Nationals Rookie of the Year title but the tough Ohio Sprint Speedweek championship as well.

Cap Henry, the 20-year-old Bellevue, Ohio native, has also had an impressive rookie season with the All Stars, wrapping up the $10,000 ROY title and currently sits fourth in the overall series points. Plainfield, Indiana’s Bill Rose has consistently finished in the top 10 throughout the summer with the All Stars, and sits fifth in the points while rookie Jared Ridge, from Snohomish, Wash., is solidly in sixth spot. Fairmont, Indiana’s Brandon Wimmer has piloted the Rick Ferkel machine into 7th in the standings, and posted his first win in the familiar #0 a few weeks ago with the O’Reilly Auto Parts Midwest All Star Series at Bloomington Speedway.

Stevie Smith is in eighth in the standings with 2001 Hoosier Fall Classic winner Dean Jacobs in 9th and ready to debut a new car. PA Posse member Lance Dewease rounds out the top 10.

Expect to see 2010 Attica Raceway Park champion Byron Reed make the tow to the Hoosier state as well as three-time All Star champion and 2003, 2008 and 2009 Hoosier Fall Classic winner Dale Blaney. Other possible drivers to compete for the $7,000 top prize could be 2004 Hoosier Fall Classic winner Phil Gressman, Pittsboro, Indiana driver Randy “The Hurricane” Hannagan, Attica, Ohio pilot Brandon Martin, Millersburg, Ohio’s Rob Chaney, Dalton, Ohio’s Lee Jacobs and a host of others.

Saturday’s visit to Lawrenceburg is the only stop in the Hoosier state for the traveling All Stars.

Joining the racing card will be the Lawrenceburg Chevrolet Non-Winged Sprints paying $3,000 to win.

General admission tickets are $25 with kids 7-12 for $7 and children 6 and under free. Pit passes will be $35. Pit gates open at 3 p.m. with grandstands opening at 5 p.m. and hot laps at 6 p.m.

WINCHESTER, Ind. — North Carolina driver Shane Hmiel found the perfect way to capture the USAC Amsoil Sprint Car pavement championship by winning the Rich Vogler classic at Winchester Speedway on Sunday.

Hmiel came into the final race of the pavement season in the points lead and needing only to finish in the top five to secure the title. He capped off a great season with his first win at Winchester.

Levi Jones took the early lead from the pole position chased by Hmiel, Bobby East, Henry Clarke and fast qualifier Tracy Hines.

For 10 laps Hmiel kept the pressure on Jones, and finally on the next circuit, Hmiel was able to get underneath Jones entering Turn 1 to take the point.

Clarke brought out the first caution on Lap 20 when his car got loose entering Turn 1 and made contact with the outside retaining wall.

On the restart Jones got alongside of Hmiel, but was unable to take the lead entering the first corner. East, Hines and Damion Gardner chased them. Gardner passed Hines on the back straight and then East two laps later to claim the third spot.

The second caution waved on Lap 31 for debris, but Hmiel was able to hold off Jones, who surrendered the second spot to Gardner on Lap 32 on the back straight. The final caution flag waved on Lap 33 when Chris Windom made contact with the Turn 2 wall.

Hmiel pulled away from the remainder of the field on the restart as Gardner, Hines, Jones, East and Jerry Coons Jr. battled for position.

At the finish it was Hmiel, Gardner, Hines, Jones and East.

“Our car is good,” Hmiel said in victory lane. “We won the Rich Vogler, and the Hoosier Hundred. I’m not a very good driver, but this car is amazing.”

Hmiel said he drove the last 10 laps as hard as he could.

In addition to the sprint car event at Winchester, Hmiel won at Salem Speedway a week ago and recorded two victories at O’Reilly Raceway Park in July.

Gardner credited his crew with doing a great job in preparing the car and thanked Bobby East for some assistance.

“Bobby (East) pointed us in the right direction,” he said. “We have been able to race from the back to the front all year.”

Hines said the team had a decent car and was placed with the podium finish.

Hmiel also won the first of two heat races leading the entire distance followed by Hines and Windom.

The second heat win went to Clarke with Coons and Jones rounding out the top three.

In the SuperPro late model feature, Eric Barcus took the early lead but it only lasted until the fifth circuit when Al Cook Jr. got inside coming off the fourth corner.

The driver on the move was fast qualifier Derrick Griffin, who worked his way through the field and into the second position after 10 laps. For the next 40 circuits Griffin stayed glued to the rear deck lid of Cook’s late model but was never able to grab the position.

Wes Griffith finished third followed by Justin Matson and Tommy Cook.

LANGHORNE, PA August 18, 2010 . . . Putting the name of a business on the race car is not enough to get them to cough up serious sponsorship money these days. Actually that type of sponsorship has not worked successfully for businesses in quite a while. More and more businesses are refusing to cough up sponsorship dollars just to see the car go racing by with their name on it.
“In order to get a business interested in sponsoring a race car these days takes planning and serious effort,” said Ernie Saxton, considered by many to be an expert when it comes to sponsorship in motorsports. “Businesses want to see a serious return on their sponsorship investment and that means racers have to be in a position to provide a sponsorship package that produces significant results, results that a business can actually see in their sales.”
Saxton, publisher of the newsletter Motorsports Sponsorship Marketing News (since 1985), is offering a ready to use sponsorship proposal that is basically ready to go once some personalization has been added. Even the cover letter, an important marketing tool that is often forgotten, is included.
In fact Saxton has a package that includes an actual proposal, a CD titled “How to Write a Winning Proposal” by Milt Gedo, a subscription to Motorsports Sponsorship Marketing News (loaded with information on how to be successful at sponsorship marketing) and his famous “Hodgepodge of Sponsorship Helps and Tips.” The total price for all the items would total close to $250. The package is now ready to ship for just $149.95 plus $10 to cover shipping and handling.
To order the package telephone Ernie Saxton at 215.752.7797. Visa, Mastercard and American Express is accepted.
Saxton also offers all the items separately. Check out his website at www.saxtonsponsormarket.com.
Sponsorship marketing articles, penned by Saxton, a veteran of more than 40 years in sponsorship marketing, can be found in National Dragster, Late Model Racer magazine, Circle Track and other publications.
