Decker, Chadwick, McCarthy Win John Soares Sr. Memorial Race At Antioch Speedway

Antioch, CA...September 16...Jeff Decker won the 20 lap DIRTcar Late Model Main Event Saturday night at Antioch Speedway.  This was the John Soares Sr. Memorial Top Dog Race, and the win was the sixth of the season for the Late Model point leader.  Decker won a heat race and started tenth in the Main Event.  Shawn DeForest took the lead from Paul Guglielmoni on lap three, and Decker was up to fourth when a lap five caution flag flew for David Newquist.  DeForest chose the outside on the restart, and Decker followed him into second.  Decker then moved past DeForest for the lead on the front stretch.  Richard Papenhausen took second from DeForest with a Turn 2 pass a lap later.  However, Decker was unstoppable as he led the remaining laps to win ahead of Papenhausen, DeForest, Guglielmoni and Rod Oliver.

Kellen Chadwick won his fourth All Star Series A Modified Main Event of the season.  Chadwick started back in tenth as the previous winner, and reigning champion Carl Berendsen II charged into the lead.  A battle developed between Berendsen, Nick DeCarlo and Brian Pearce for the lead, and DeCarlo made a high pass in Turn 2 to take the lead on lap 12.  Chadwick joined the battle up front and made a low pass in Turn 4 to take second from Berendsen on lap 16.  DeCarlo stalled in Turn 4 for a caution flag moments later.  Chadwick had the lead at that point and led the rest of the way for the victory.  Pearce passed Berendsen in Turn 4 to grab a second place finish.  C. Berendsen, Terry DeCarlo and Eric Berendsen rounded out the Top 5.  Heat race winner Bobby Motts Jr. clinched the championship with a seventh place finish.

Art McCarthy continued to close in on the Winged 360 Sprint Car point lead with his third 20 lap Main Event win.  Petaluma star David Lindt II set the early Main Event pace, and McCarthy moved past David Dias for second on lap two.  McCarthy made a Turn 4 pass on Lindt to take the lead on lap 10, and Marysville star Peter Paulson took second on lap 13.  Incoming point leader Marissa Polizzi retired with motor problems on lap 14, and title contender Burt Foland Jr. crashed with Jason Paniagua to end his night as well.  McCarthy led the rest of the way to win.  Paulson was a close second ahead of Lindt, Mike Monahan and heat race winner Jake Haulot.

Point leader K.C. Keller won his fourth B Modified Main Event.  Mark Garner had the early lead, and there was just one early caution flag.  Trevor Clymens got past Garner on the restart, and Keller managed to take second from Garner by lap six.  Clymens appeared to have things in hand, but he spun from the lead in Turn 4.  This put Keller in the lead, and he led the rest of the way to win ahead of Garner, Guy Ahlwardt, Clymens and Anthony Giuliani.

Cameron Swank kept the pressure on point leader Chris Sorensen by winning his heat race and his second 20 lap Hobby Stock Main Event.  Swank raced into the lead at the start of the Main Event, and championship contender Brent Curran took second from Michael Cooper with a Turn 4 pass on lap three.  Tenth starter Melissa Myers took third from Ken Rhoades on a lap ten restart and pressured Curran the rest of the way for second.  Swank drove a great race and earned the victory ahead of Curran, Myers, Sorensen and Rhoades.

Reigning champion Kevin Miraglio won his third 20 lap Dwarf Car Main Event.  As the previous winner, Miraglio started back in tenth.  Miraglio and point leader Mike Corsaro charged through the pack to the front.  Miraglio got the lead and scored the win ahead of Corsaro, Devan Kammermann, David Rosa and heat winner Brian Gray.

Decker, McCarthy, Chadwick Collect Antioch Speedway Wins

Antioch, CA...September 9...Jeff Decker won the 20 lap DIRTcar Late Model Main Event Saturday night at Antioch Speedway.  This was the fifth win of the season for the point leader.  Paul Guglielmoni paced the first three Main Event laps ahead of Decker.  A lap four restart provided Decker with an opportunity to race by Guglielmoni on the back stretch for the lead.  Reigning champion Richard Papenhausen moved into second and started pressuring Decker for the lead.  However, Decker pulled away in the waning laps to record the impressive victory.  Papenhausen settled for second ahead of Terry Kuntz, Kimo Oreta and Jim Freethy.

Art McCarthy won his second 20 lap All Star Series Winged 360 Sprint Car Main Event.  The ageless Sprint Car veteran has two wins and a second in his last three starts as he continues to cut into Marissa Polizzi's point lead.  McCarthy and fellow heat winner Dan Gonderman shared the front row for the Main Event, but title contender Burt Foland Jr. raced into second behind McCarthy at the start.  There were two early yellow flags, but the final 17 laps went all green.  McCarthy was being careful with a slower car on lap 15, allowing Foland to close the gap.  McCarthy made a move past the slower car on the back stretch and continued his rapid pace for a well earned victory.  Foland settled for his fourth second place finish.  Gonderman won a close battle with Polizzi for third as Ricky Brophy rounded out the Top 5.

Kellen Chadwick returned to action and won his third A Modified Main Event.  The race was a battle of attrition as several drivers didn't make it to the end.  Chadwick was the class of the field as he grabbed the win ahead point point leader Bobby Motts Jr.  Heat race winner Scott Busby settled for third ahead of Sean O'Gara and Gregg McElhaney.

Reigning B Modified champion Trevor Clymens won his fifth 20 lap Main Event of the season.  The race looked like it would go to past A Modified champion Kenny Neu.  Neu led the first 13 laps through multiple yellow flags.  Clymens was running second when Neu slowed in Turn 4 for a lap 14 caution flag.  Clymens led the pack on the restart and led the rest of the way for the victory.  Mark Garner battled point leader K.C. Keller for a second place finish as Tommy Frazier and Nick Caughman Jr. completed the Top 5.

Kimo Oreta collected his fourth 20 lap Limited Late Model Main Event victory in the Sun Drop Racing #15 car.  Oreta had a front row start in a race that was destined to go non stop, and he charged into the lead at the drop of the green flag.  He stretched his advantage to a half-lap ahead of second place by the time Bob Kempf threw the checkered flag, leaving the battle was for second.  Despite relentless pressure from Mark Garner, Lori Brown kept her cool and earned a season best second place finish.  Mike Gustafson made a couple of late passes to finish fourth ahead of fellow heat race winner Jim Freethy.

Melissa Myers won the 20 lap Hobby Stock Main Event.  This was the second win of the season for the two time division champion.  Jordon Swank led the Main Event for four laps before Chris Long made a high move in Turn 4 to grab the lead.  Long slowed on the back stretch as Swank and Myers made it a three wide race up front on lap seven.  Long fell back several positions, but a red flag flew moments later for a blocked race track exit.  Long was back in the lead for the restart, but he slowed on lap nine.  Myers raced into the lead at that point ahead of Brent Curran.  Myers led the final ten laps to win ahead of Curran, Gene Haney, Cameron Swank and point leader Chris Sorensen.

Jason Armstrong won the 15 lap Bay Area Hardtops Main Event.  This was the 15th running of the Chet Thomson Memorial, and the race ran non stop.  Armstrong sprinted out to a straightaway lead over the dueling Ken Retzloff and Tommy Thomson, but Armstrong slowed his pace in traffic on lap six.  Retzloff used traffic to break away from Thomson, and he chased Armstrong closely.  However, Armstrong scored his second straight Thomson Memorial win ahead of Retzloff.  Thomson managed to hold off last starter Kimo Oreta for third as Dan Williams rounded out the Top 5.

Next Saturday is the 2nd Annual John Soares Sr. Top Dog Memorial, which honors the man who promoted Antioch Speedway from its opening in 1961 to 1980.  The All Star Series Winged 360 Sprints are back along with the DIRTcar Late Models, A Modifieds, B Modifieds, Dwarf Cars and Hobby Stocks.  For further information, go to www.antiochspeedway.com.

Fred Ryland Wins John Fore Jr. Memorial
At Merced Speedway

Merced, CA...September 9...Fred Ryland won the $1,500 first prize in the 50 lap John Fore Jr. Memorial Saturday night at Merced Speedway.  The race was presented by Bob Smith Truck Repair, and it was the second win of the season for the current Sport Modified point leader.  The Sport Modified car count grew to 31 cars for the extra money race that honors John Fore Jr.  Fore was a former Top 5 point competitor who died in a work related accident in early 2016.

The track ran time trials with the Top 9 starting positions in the Sport Modified Main Event filled by time.  IMCA State point leader Shane DeVolder set quick time of 14.656 to beat the 14.765 lap of F. Ryland.  Josh Hensley won the first nine lap heat race ahead of Brian Cooper.  Anthony Giuliani won the second heat ahead of Lee Jensen and the third heat was won by Jeremy Hoff in front of Andrew Peckham.  The Top 3 heat race finishers earned Main Event starting spots.  The Top 4 finishers of the 15 lap B Main earned the final starting spots in the 22 lap feature, and Bakersfield star Michael Johnson won that race ahead of Cody Parker, Patti Ryland, Chris Falkenberg and Tanner Thomas.

DeVolder raced into the early Main Event lead ahead of F. Ryland, but Garrett Jernagen moved by Ryland on lap two to grab second.  Phillip Shelby took fourth from Rick Diaz on lap six, and the yellow flag flew on lap 12.  DeVolder continued to lead Ryland and Jernagen on the restart.  2016 Fore Memorial winner Clint Reichenbach moved into fourth on lap 25.  A low pass in Turn 4 of the 28th lap gained F. Ryland the lead from DeVolder.  Jernagen spun from third in Turn 4 on lap 35, and Reichenbach found himself in second on lap 37 when DeVolder spun in Turn 2.  F. Ryland ran smooth down the stretch and went on to grab the big victory ahead of Reichenbach, Diaz, Nick Spainhoward, Johnson, Cooper, Hensley, Chase Thomas, Jensen and DeVolder.

Billy Nelson won the 50 lap Hobby Stock Main Event.  The win paid $500 to the three time Watsonville champion.  The first nine starting positions in the big race were set by time trials, and Nick Lawrence set the fast time of 17.075.  Two time champion Bruce "Bubba" Nelson was second quick with a lap of 17.089.  Four time Merced champion Raul Rodriguez Sr. won the first heat race ahead of Dexter Long to earn the tenth starting position.  Point leader Kodie Dean won the second heat ahead of Watsonville champion Rob Gallaher to earn the 11th starting spot.  Gallaher started back in 13th.

The first half of the Hobby Stock Main Event was plagued with yellow flags, and championship contender Garrett Corn dropped out with a broken driveline early on.  Bruce Nelson raced into the early lead ahead of Lawrence and Billy Nelson.  An inside move on the back stretch of the fifth lap gained Billy Nelson second from Lawrence.  Billy Nelson made a high pass in Turn 4 of the eighth lap to take the lead from Bruce Nelson, and the two Nelsons ran close at the head of the pack.  Austin Van Hoff took third from Lawrence on lap 10.  Bruce Nelson made a low pass in Turn 2 of the 20th lap to take the lead from Billy Nelson as Rodriguez ran a close fourth behind Van Hoff.  A low move in Turn 3 of the 21st lap gained Rodriguez third from Van Hoff, and Gallaher grabbed fourth on lap 27.  An inside move on the front stretch of the 28th lap regained Billy Nelson the lead as the final 28 laps ran caution flag free.  Bruce Nelson had problems and fell out of second on 39, and Billy Nelson now had a straightaway advantage over Rodriguez.  Billy Nelson set a blistering pace in scoring the impressive victory ahead of Rodriguez and Gallaher.  Van Hoff had a good run in fourth as Kevin Joaquin, Mike Stockton, Wally Kennedy, Kristie Shearer, Kalob Shelton and D.J. Keldsen rounded out the Top 10 in the 24 car field.

Rick Diaz won the 20 lap California Sharp Mini Late Model Main Event.  Two time IMCA Sport Modified champion Diaz took the wheel of one of the FND Motorsports cars and enjoyed a good battle with Tommy Bostic.  Bostic beat Diaz in the six lap heat race, and Bostic raced into the early Main Event lead ahead of Diaz and Raulie Rodriguez.  When the second caution flag flew on lap five for Portland, Oregon's Paul Meusling, Diaz made his move.  Bostic picked the inside on the restart, but Diaz raced into the lead down the back stretch.  Tim Crews took third from Rodriguez.  A lap 16 caution flag slowed the pace one last time, but Diaz maintained the lead on the restart and brought it home to victory ahead of Bostic, Crews, Rodriguez, Riley Jeppesen, Meusling and Ian Shearer.

Racing resumes this Saturday night with IMCA Modifieds back in action along with IMCA Sport Modifieds, Mini Stocks and California Sharp Late Models.  It will be a double point race for the Mini Stocks.  For further information, go to www.racemerced.com.

Bailey Hibbard Wins Third Kendall Oil Sprint Car Feature
At Southern Oregon Speedway

White City, Oregon...September 9...Bailey Hibbard wrapped up the 2017 Kendall Oil Sprint Car season with his third 25 lap Main Event win Saturday night at Southern Oregon Speedway.  Hibbard blew a motor in his normal car, prompting his father David Hibbard to put him in his Hansen & Sons Trucking/Dave's Floor & Vinyl Liquidators #3 car for the night.  With three feature wins, Kyler Barraza had already clinched the championship, and D. Hibbard was second in points coming into the night.  His decision not to race left the battle between B. Hibbard and rookie Merissa Henson for second.  Henson came into the night leading B. Hibbard by just eight points, and she beat him by just one point for the runnerup position.

Rookie Enrique Jaime started his night off with his first career six lap heat race win ahead of B. Hibbard.  Kinzer Cox spent the preliminaries being chased by 14 year old phenom Tanner Holmes.  Cox beat Holmes to win both their heat race and the four lap Scramble.  Cox and Holmes shared the front row of the Main Event, and Cox raced into the lead at the green flag.  B. Hibbard charged into second on the opening lap and made an inside pass on the front stretch a lap later to take the lead from Cox.  Holmes was running strong in third, while Henson held fourth.  The only yellow flag of the race flew on lap 18 for David Johnson in Turn 3.  B. Hibbard remained in command on the restart, and Cox was starting to feel pressure from Holmes.  An inside pass on the back stretch of the 21st lap gained Holmes second from Cox.  B. Hibbard drove a great race and wrapped up his best season yet with the victory.  Holmes was a strong second as Cox settled for third.  Henson used a lead lap fourth place finish to wrap up an impressive rookie season in second in the final standings.  Camden Robustelli, Hedge Carter, Jaime and Johnson completed the finishing order.

Knight Flies To Third Late Model Feature Win
At Southern Oregon Speedway

White City, Oregon...September 9...Dustin Knight made a charge from the back of the pack to win the 20 lap Late Model Main Event Saturday night at Southern Oregon Speedway.  After winning the eight lap heat race, Knight elected to start last, but he quickly charged through the pack to lay claim to his third feature win of the season.  Incoming point leader Nathan Augustine finished second to maintain a slim nine point lead going into next week's season finale.

Augustine was going for his fifth four lap Trophy Dash win, but John Dees denied him as he scored his first career victory.  Knight won the six lap heat race ahead of reigning champion Bob Dees.  Garrett Dees' bad luck continued as he scratched before the Main Event.  B. Dees raced into the early Main Event lead ahead of Dave Foote as Knight quickly struck to third.  A low move in Turn 4 of the second lap gained Knight second from Foote, and Knight charged by on the outside down the front stretch to take the lead from B. Dees on lap four.  Augustine was up to third by then and he slipped past B. Dees for second on lap six.  Augustine made it a battle for the lead and pulled alongside Knight on the outside on several occasions.  However, Knight always moved back ahead on the straightaway.  B. Dees pitted from third on lap 17, handing the position to Foote.  Trying for the lead again as they exited Turn 2 on lap 19, Augustine got out of shape and fell back a little bit.  Knight brought it home to another impressive victory with Augustine holding on for second.  Foote enjoyed a season best third ahead of J. Dees, B. Dees, Don Garrett Jr. and Mike Linder.

Hudson Grabs Second Pro Stock Win, Lenz Champion
At Southern Oregon Speedway

White City, Oregon...September 9...Jeffrey Hudson won a thrilling 20 lap Pro Stock Main Event Saturday night at Southern Oregon Speedway.  Hudson made a last lap pass on James Flowers to grab his second  victory at the track this season aboard the Scott Bennett owned car.  With motor problems sidelining his own car for the night, Dr. Scott Lenz drove the Roy Bain car to a sixth place finish and won the track championship in the process.  Lenz continues to lead the Outlaw Pro Stock Association point race, and their battle for second got a little closer going into the Yreka finale after Scott Flowers was eliminated in an opening lap crash.  S. Flowers is in a close battle with Hudson and Johnny Cobb in OPSA points with one race left to go for them.  The OPSA brought in the sponsorship of First Class Auto Glass to increase the purse for the night.

Lenz started the night off with a four lap Trophy Dash win ahead of Dean Hackworth.  The OPSA Trophy Dash was sponsored by Lucas Oil.  James Flowers won the first six lap heat race ahead of his father, Scott Flowers.  Ken Irving won the second heat ahead of Bryan Hammond, and Jeffrey Hudson won the third heat in front of Johnny Cobb.  There were 13 Main Event starters as Josh Kralicek and Jeff Hudson were scratches.  James Flowers led the opening lap before a yellow flag flew as Cobb and S. Flowers crashed off of Turn 3.  James Flowers led the restart as Jeffrey Hudson took second from Irving.  The final 19 laps ran caution free.  Jeff Haudenshild moved up to battle Irving for third, grabbing the position on lap six.  Cobb brushed the wall and fell back several positions.  Matt Harlow took fourth from Irving on lap seven and passed Haudenshild for third on lap eight.  James Flowers was in heavy traffic by then, and he lapped sixth place Lenz on lap 13.  By lap 17, the battle for the lead intensified.  On lap 18 and 19, Hudson made low passes in Turn 3 to take the lead, only to watch James Flowers come back on the high side in Turn 4 to regain the lead.  Hudson went high in Turn 2 on the last lap to take the lead and win away from James Flowers.  Harlow finished a solid third ahead of Haudenshild and final lead lap finisher Irving.  Lenz settled for sixth ahead of Julia Flowers, Hammond, Hackworth and Cobb.  The rookie Hackworth will finish second in track points.

White City, Oregon...September 9...Jason Stoutenburgh won the 20 lap JOAT Labs Hornets Main Event Saturday night at Southern Oregon Speedway.  This was the fourth straight win for Stoutenburgh as he won his second  championship at the track.  Stoutenburgh beat Albert Gill to win the 2000 Thrill Cars championship.  Rookie Brandon Wonsyld had his best finish of the season as he battled Derrel Nelson Jr. for a second place finish.

14 year old rookie Dylan Irving began an impressive preliminary effort by holding off Stoutenburgh to win the four lap Trophy Dash.  Irving repeated that performance with a six lap heat race win ahead of Stoutenburgh.  Nelson won the other heat race ahead of Wonsyld.  Nelson raced into the early Main Event lead from the pole.  Stoutenburgh took second from Irving on lap two.  A high pass in Turn 2 of the seventh lap gained Stoutenburgh the lead from Nelson.  Wonsyld took third from Irving on lap eight.  Moments later, contact with a slower car sent Irving spinning in Turn 2 for a yellow flag.  Stoutenburgh continued to lead Nelson and Wonsyld on the restart.  Ashtin Hedges led Jenna Hedges in the battle for fourth, and Irving made an outside pass on the front stretch to take sixth from Ethan Doty on lap 13.  Stoutenburgh had a straightaway lead on Nelson by lap 14, and Irving made a low pass in Turn 4 to take fifth from J.
