Hogge Claims Bounty
Miranda, Curran Antioch Speedway Winners

Antioch, CA...April 21...Living Phat Promotions put a $100 bounty on the driver who could beat Nick DeCarlo to win the All Star Series A Modified Main Event Saturday night. The driver who came to claim the prize was perhaps the biggest name in California racing, Bobby Hogge IV. In scoring the win in the 25 lap Main Event, Hogge now has 71 career Antioch Speedway victories, one win behind Scott Busby and JD Willis on the all-time Antioch Speedway feature winner's list.

Hogge didn't come alone. 2016 IMCA Wild West Speedweek Tour champion Kellen Chadwick was there, and both drivers recorded wins and their eight lap heat races. Hogge started inside the third row of the Main Event, and reigning track champion Bobby Motts Jr set the early pace ahead of Mike Salazar. Hogge made the move into third by lap two and made a Turn 4 pass on Motts on lap six to gain lead. Chadwick made his move into second by lap eight. Though Chadwick kept up with him, he was unable to make the move as Hogge brought it home to the impressive victory. Motts settled for third, followed by tenth starter DeCarlo and Shawn DeForest. Raymond Lindeman was the other heat winner.

Alan Miranda finally scored his first career 20 lap Wingless Spec Sprint Main Event victory. It was a wild night that featured two flips. The first occurred in the first heat race when ageless veteran Roy Fisher put his car on its lid. The second occurred when division mainstay Rick Panfili and another car got together on the back straightaway, resulting in Panfili flipping twice on the opening lap of the Main Event. Fortunately, neither driver was injured in their flips, and Fisher actually made it to start the Main Event.

Miranda had a front-row start, but tenth starter Bob Newberry methodically worked his way up to battle him for the lead. Just when Newberry appeared to have made the winning pass as they worked lap 17, a yellow flag negated it. Miranda led the next restart and would lead the remaining four tours for the satisfying win. Newberry settled for second ahead of James East, Fisher and Rich Otterstrom. Eight lap heat race wins went to Shannon Newton and Brandon Burd.

Brent Curran served notice to the B Modified competition that he's going to be every bit as tough to beat as he was in Four Bangers and Hobby Stocks. Curran won the 20 lap B Modified Main Event. Luck of the invert put Curran on the front row, but he had to deal with Guy Ahlwardt and the hard-charging duo of Aaron Crowell and Trevor Clymens at various times. Clymens and Crowell got a little bit too close for comfort late in the race in their battle for second, resulting in Clymens spinning. While that was going on, Curran sped home to victory ahead of Crowell, Todd Gomez, Tommy Fraser and Ryan DeForest. Gomez and Ahlwardt each won eight lap heat races.

Michael Cooper picked up his second Hobby Stock Main Event win of the season. Joey Ridgeway set a nice pace out front during the first half of the race. Cooper slipped past Billy Garner for second on lap six and made a high pass and Turn 4 on lap 13 to grab the lead from Ridgeway. Ridgeway spun and Chris Sorensen took up the chase of Cooper. However, Cooper was not to be denied as he won ahead of Sorensen, John Wacht, Luke Brignoli and Morgan Swank, who was subbing for Cameron Swank this week. Rookie Breanna Troen won her heat race, but she made contact with the back wall on lap 19 in the Main Event and rolled. Fortunately, she was not injured. Sorensen won the other eight lap heat race.

Mike Walko won a spirited dual with Mark Garner to claim the victory in the 20 lap Limited Late Model feature. Garner was coming off his big victory in the Larry Damitz Memorial Race, but Walko would not budge from the lead. Garner gave it a valiant effort, but the crafty veteran Walko was up to the challenge as he scored a hard fought victory ahead of Garner, heat race winner, Kimo Oteta and Ryan Cherezian.

Racing resumes next Saturday night with another exciting lineup of All Star Series racing. DIRTcar Late Models are back along with B Modifieds, Hobby Stocks, Dwarf Cars and California Hardtops. This is also the third round of the Sharp Shooter Tournament for the B Modifieds. For further information, go to www.antiochspeedway.com.

Merced, CA...April 21...Reigning Bay Cities Racing Association Midgets champion Maria Cofer scored the victory in the 30 lap Main Event Saturday night at Merced Speedway. Cofer led from the start of the race ahead of Corey Elliott. Though Cofer set a good pace, Elliott wasn't too far behind her in second. Robert Dalby was running a strong third. The only slow down of the race occurred with a Lap 21 yellow flag. On the restart, Cofer continued to lead as Dalby began challenging Elliott for second. Dalby made the move into second on lap 24 and began to challenge Cofer for the lead. However, Cofer would not be denied as she won ahead of Dalby, Elliott, David Prickett, Marvin Mitchell, Jesse Love IV, Jackson Dukes, Rick Cook II, J R Williams and Michael Faccinto. Cofer set the fastest qualifying time with a lap of 14.181 around the Tim Ragsdale prepared quarter-mile. Elliott was second quick at 14.293.

Reigning Hobby Stock champion Kodie Dean led all the way to win the 30 lap Hobby Stock Main Event.

Austin Van Hoff set the fast time of 17.660 to beat the lap of 17.839 of Dean. Van Hoff won the first eight lap heat race ahead of Nelson, and Dean won the second race ahead of Brown. Van Hoff beat Dean in a good battle to win the four lap Trophy Dash but suffered a mechanical failure to end his night.

IMCA Sport Modified competitor Chris Falkenberg drove the Jeff Bristow championship car to the victory in the 15 lap Valley Sportsman Main Event. Falkenberg led all the way with Watsonville Sportsman Legend Jerry Cecil a solid second ahead of Rick Elliott, Chris Corder and Jeff West. Elliott set the fast lap of 17.306, beating the 17.411 of two time division champion Mike Friesen. Falkenberg won the six lap heat race ahead of Elliott and outran Cecil to win the four lap Trophy Dash.

Steele, Robustelli Repeat

Yreka, CA...April 21... Justin Foux won a good race up front with Rich McCoy to claim the victory in the 20 lap IMCA Sport Modified Main Event Saturday night at Siskiyou Motor Speedway. The two competitors ran closely near the end with Foux prevailing at the checkers. David Marble turned in a solid performance in third as Trevor Tiffee and Isaac Sanders rounded out the Top 5.

David Steele turned in a dominant performance in winning his second straight 20 lap McDonald's Mini Stock Main Event of the season. Steele bolted into the lead early and rapidly pulled away to over a half-lap advantage over second-place finisher Steve Goetz.

Steele won his heat race by straightaway ahead of Hayfork Speedway champion Andy Blackburn. Goetz won the other eight lap heat in front of Kendrick. Jorgensen won a good battle with Steele for the four lap Trophy Dash victory.

Camden Robustelli won a rapidly paced 20 lap Southern Oregon Dwarf Car Main Event. Robustelli pulled away to about a one-third lap lead ahead of reigning champion Brock Peters.

Morton won the four lap A Dash ahead of Robustelli, and King scored the victory in the eight lap B Dash, followed by Smith.
