Timothy Culp Surges to CCSDS Ronny Adams Memorial Finale Win
CCSDS Returns to Action on March 27-28 at Batesville and I-30 Speedway

Greenwood, Louisiana (03/07/20) – Louisiana native, Timothy Culp made the late-race charge to the $7,000 victory on Saturday night in the finale of the inaugural Ronny Adams Memorial at Boothill Speedway (Greenwood, Louisiana). The win marked the eighth COMP Cams Super Dirt Series presented by Lucas Oil triumph of his career.

“I grew up not very far from here [Boothill Speedway], so this place is kind of like home,” Culp said in Victory Lane. “Ronny [Adams] was a hard racer, and he was kind of like Dale Earnhardt. He and I had our run-ins on the track and then we’d talk on Monday morning and put the differences behind us. Ronny was a heck of a racer, so it means a lot to win this race in his memory.”

The defending CCSDS Champion, Culp overtook race-long leader and New Vision Graphics Pole Sitter, Jesse Stovall with just two laps remaining in the 50 lapper to take the lead and ultimately the win. Stovall’s bid for the victory came up just short for the second night in a row. While he failed to reach Victory Lane, the Missouri racer did end the weekend with the series point’s lead and the Midwest Sheet Metal Marked Man orange spoiler after recording a pair of runner-up finishes.

Sixteenth-starting Earl Pearson Jr. advanced 13 spots to finish third. He claimed the hard charger award for his efforts. Logan Martin and B.J. Robinson rounded out the Top-5 finishers.

Early-race challengers, Tyler Erb and Billy Moyer Jr. both fell by the wayside with mechanical issues.

C. Wright Machine, P&W Sales Inc., RKT Operating, Dirt Defender, Day Motorsports and the Jones family were among entities donating additional money and prizes to the night’s purse in honor of the memory of Ronny Adams.

The CCSDS now takes a two-week break before returning to action on Friday and Saturday, March 27-28 with an Arkansas doubleheader. Action opens on Friday, March 27 at Batesville Motor Speedway (Locust Grove, Arkansas) with a $3,000-to-win affair before moving to Tracey Clay’s I-30 Speedway (Little Rock, Arkansas) on Saturday, March 28 for the $5,000-to-win Will McGary Tribute.

Final Lap, Final Corner Pass Finds Tyler Erb in CCSDS Victory Lane
$7,000 Top Prize on the Line on Saturday Night at Boothill Speedway

Greenwood, Louisiana (03/06/20) – The COMP Cams Super Dirt Series presented by Lucas Oil kicked off their 2020 campaign on Friday night in thrilling fashion with the opening round of the  inaugural Ronny Adams Memorial at Boothill Speedway (Greenwood, Louisiana).

Texas’ native Tyler Erb used a high-side pass exiting turn four on the final lap to pick up the $3,000 win over race-long leader, Jesse Stovall. The victory came aboard a Timothy Culp team car and marked the third of Erb’s career with the tour.

From the New Vision Graphics Pole Position, Stovall paced the field for the first 29 circuits at the Louisiana oval before being overtaken for the lead on the final lap. Third-starting Erb ran second early before his teammate Culp took over the runner-up spot. Culp pressured Stovall for the lead until a caution regrouped the field and allowed Erb to retake the second spot.

Erb went on to making the last-lap pass for the win, while Stovall had to settle for a disappointing runner-up finish. Billy Moyer Jr. charged to a third-place finish with Timothy Culp and Neil Baggett rounding out the Top-5 finishers.

Saturday night’s Ronny Adams Memorial finale is capped with a complete $7,000-to-win/ $500-to-start event.

Additionally, on Saturday night TNT Pick-A-Part is sponsoring a $500 bonus to one lucky competitor. The extra money will go to a driver finishing somewhere from 10th-20th in the feature. A drawing by a fan will determine the lucky recipient.
After contesting preliminary action on Friday night, Factory Stocks and Limited Modifieds will each battle in $1,000-to-win/ $100-to-start finales on Saturday night. Additionally, Pro Mods will run a complete $400-to-win/$50-to-start program on Saturday.

Saturday adult grandstand admission is $20. Children (ages 5-and-under) are free in the grandstands. Pit passes are $35 on and Saturday.

Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series

SHEPPARD TAKES WINTERNATIONALS FINALE AT EAST BAY RACEWAY PARK

LOLMDS PR
TAMPA, FL (February 8, 2020)- Brandon Sheppard came from the 11th starting position to win Saturday Night's Wrisco Industries Winternationals at East Bay Raceway Park. It was Sheppard's third win of the week in the annual Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series-sanctioned event. He passed race leader Devin Moran with 12 laps to go, before driving on to victory.
 
Moran, in the Tye Twarog Longhorn finished second to Sheppard with Tyler Erb, Brian Shirley, and Shane Clanton completing the top five.
 
Pole sitter, Moran, took the lead at the drop of the green flag with Clanton hot on his heels. Moran and Clanton ran one-two for the first 12 laps of the race until Clanton passed Moran for the top spot on lap 13. Clanton held the point for six circuits until Moran was able to get back around the Georgia veteran.

Meanwhile, Sheppard was patiently working his way through the field and moved by Clanton for second on the 21st lap. Sheppard started working the top groove off turn two, closing the gap on Moran, but Moran kept his car glued to the bottom of the third mile oval. Moran continued to hold the top spot until Sheppard rapidly cut into Moran's lead as he rocketed by him on lap 38.
 Sheppard expanded his lead in the final ten laps and went on to record his sixth career win at East Bay and his 18th in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series. Sheppard continued the trend of Saturday Night East Bay finale winners, as the 27-year-old Illinois native became the 12th different winner in the last 12 years.
 
"The track was tricky tonight and got really slow. It was totally unexpected, but it was typical East Bay, where it didn't give us the same thing twice this week. We had a different surface every night and that's what makes it so much fun to come here. It's a shame it's going to be gone before long. Man, it was a lot of fun out there. I can't thank my guys enough," said Sheppard, who will maintain the Series points lead, as he will carry the Midwest Sheet Metal Spoiler into All-Tech Raceway on Sunday Night.
 
Moran concluded a successful week at East Bay after scoring his first-ever win at "The Clay by the Bay" on Monday Night, with second-place finish in the finale. "I think this is deja-vu. Brandon's done this to me here before, just all part of it. I don't think anyone's seen the racetrack like this for the feature. I don't know what did it or why it did it, that little bit of traction strip made us stick down there (on the bottom). We aren't the biggest or brightest team, but we had a great Speedweeks, and hopefully we can cap it off tomorrow at All-Tech."
 
Erb won twice last year at East Bay, but is still winless in the Georgia-Florida Speedweeks. Tonight, Erb did recod a solid point finish as he rounded out the podium. "The track was a little bit crazy. You couldn't get the top going, so just congrats to Sheppard, Devin, and everybody. It's been a long week here and we got every race in. I really enjoy racing here although, it wasn't the final night we were all kind of hoping for, but it was a good night for us and we'll go on to All-Tech."
 
The winner's Mark Richards Racing Rocket 1 House Car is powered by a Durham Racing Engine and sponsored by Valvoline, Seubert Calf Ranches, Gunters Honey, Ace Metal Works, Integra, Sunoco, Keyser, and Rocket Pre-Owned Motors.
 
Completing the top ten were Rick Eckert, Tim McCreadie, Shanon Buckingham, Jonathan Davenport, and Billy Moyer Jr.

MAX BLAIR WINS FALL CLASSIC ECKL MEMORIAL RACEFAN 50 FOR SECOND STRAIGHT YEAR

MCR Media
EAST SMETHPORT, PA (October 15) - The 11th Annual Fall Classic concluded Saturday night with 161 race cars on hand from three states plus Australia and Canada. Max Blair of Centerville, PA was the big winner of the night. Blair for the second straight year won both the ULMS Late Model Series and Crate Late Model portion of the program. Blair’s ULMS win in the 12th annual Stephanie Eckl Memorial was worth $6000 and his crate late model win was worth $1500. Joel Watson won the Zimmers Service Center UEMS Emod Series event and took the series title, while Brandon Groters won the PennOhio Pro Stock feature, Dennis Asel in pure stocks, Mitch Boylan in a thrilling mini stock event and Les Myers in the Vintage Modifieds.

The Zimmer’s Service Center ULMS Late Models highlighted the weekend with the $6000 to win 12th annual Stephanie Eckl Memorial. Last years winner, Max Blair sat on the pole due to the redraw with Shermandale, Pennsylvania driver, Mike Lupfer. Lupfer and his yellow number 06 machine outdragged the Keystone Kamikaze into turn one to take the lead at the start with Doug Eck sliding into third ahead of Bob Dorman and Rob Marhefka. The first yellow came out on lap three for John Lacki as newly crowned ULMS point leader, Dave Hess Jr came into the fifth positon. On the restart Eck got around Blair for second only to see the yellow come out again as contact between Hess and Dutch Davies would see Davies spinning out of control at the turn three pit exit. Hess would go pitside and would return before the restart. Lap six the yellow came out for Hess. Another quick yellow one lap later for Rich Gardner spinning out of turn four and seeing the Tobber Racing machine towed off the track with mechanical problems and one more yellow would come out for Greg Oakes one lap later. Finally green flag racing resumed and Blair was back around Eck and it was still Lupfer in the lead with Rick Singleton and Bob Dorman rounding out the top five. A lap 15 caution for Bobby Rohrer allowed Singleton to get around Eck on the restart as Blair hounded Lupfer for the lead. At the halfway point it was still Lupfer, Blair and now Singleton all within a few car lengths of each other. Blair would make his move to the top spot five laps later on lap 30 as Singleton followed. As ten to go approached, Blair was several car lengths ahead of Singleton as Lupfer was fending off the challenges of Eck and now Charles Powell, Jim Yoder, Bump Hedman and Greg Oakes coming back from the rear were all battling for fifth. Oakes all of sudden became the fastest car on the track and needed a yellow as he quickly went from eighth to third in a handful of laps. At the finish it was Blair winning his second of the night and for the second year in a row winning the Fall Classic finale and it was his first ever Stephanie Eckl Memorial. Blair joins his father, Rob along with Chub Frank and Boom Briggs as the only two time winners of the Fall Classic finale. Rick Singleton came home second followed by Oakes who was the Hard Charger of the event, Doug Eck and Lupfer rounded out the top five.

Edge wire to wire in Showdown on the Coast at Golden Isles Speedway

NeSmith Racing
Waynesville, GA – LaFayette, Alabama racer Chase Edge showed out at the annual “Showdown on the Coast” at Golden Isles Speedway leading wire-to-wire and picking up the $5,000 winner’s check and his first NeSmith Dirt Late Model Touring Series victory of the 2016 regular season. Edge was overall fast qualifier and Heat Race 1 winner from Friday night’s preliminary action which put his Edge’s Gas Company/Penton Raceway/Jeff Dodgen Logging sponsored machine on the pole position for the 60-lap main event.

Edge and fellow front-row starter Russell Brown Jr. led the field to the green flag after a lengthy rain delay had pushed back start times at the south Georgia oval located just a short distance from the Atlantic Ocean. Edge would jump to the lead at the start of the race and set a blistering pace to keep his competition at bay behind him. Throughout the rest of the field, position swapping and hard racing was happening for virtually all positions. The hard racing was slowed for the first time at lap 16 when the #17 of Nevin Gainey caught the inside berm in turn 2 spinning his machine.

The restart saw Edge jump back out to the lead, but as the old adage goes in racing, cautions breed cautions. The yellow flag would wave again on lap 17 when Woodrow Mullis made contact with Marcus Minga. The ensuing restart would put Edge back to work keeping his competitors at bay, but would again be short lived as veteran racer Cecil Eunice slowed with a flat tire before retiring from the event. Green flag would wave again before the red flag would be waved for a multi-car tangle in turn 2 which seen Minga’s #19 B&M Salvage Rocket go for an airborne spinner top type spin before coming to a rest. Matt Henderson, Rodgerick Dykes, and Woodrow Mullis would all be collected in the melee.

A string of restarts would unfold over the next few laps when Henry Carter’s #28 machine would slow with right front damage on lap 24, and Woodrow Mullis would spin collecting Matt Henderson on lap 25. The lap 25 restart allowed for a string of laps with some of the action settling as the field would get back to racing and chasing the dominant Edge. Ryan Carter would loop his new #52 Mark’s Body Shop CVR Race Car in turn two on lap 44 to bring out the yellow once again. The lap 44 restart would go right back under yellow the 2016 NeSmith Panhandle Challenge Series Champion Cody Smith’s #3 machine which slowed at the exit of turn 4.

Ryan Crane would clip the inside berm heading into turn 1 and spin his Panama City Cycles sponsored #10 Rocket to bring the caution out on lap 46. The lap 46 restart saw pandemonium break out as contact in the front of the pack collected a host of cars and inflicted damage. Devon Dixon’s #58 Dave’s Towing Rocket, current point leader Cory Hedgecock, Forest, VA driver Walker Arthur, and second in points Scott Dedwylder were all in a heap on the front straightaway. Arthur would receive the most damage and retire from the event, while Dixon, Dedwylder(with no right side body panel), and Hedgecock would pit for repairs and rejoin the field. Despite the repairs, Hedgecock would retire from the event on the restart. The race’s final caution would come on lap 47 for Robert Diekemper’s spin in turn 4 which collected the 5 of Rodgerick Dykes and 19 of Minga.

During the rash of cautions and restarts, three-time and defending NeSmith Dirt Late Model Series National Champion Ronnie Johnson had made his way to the second position and set his sights on race long leader Edge. The lap 47 restart put Johnson, who was making another start in the Brucebilt Performance house car machine, right up under the back bumper of Edge. Edge would keep the lead on the restart, but Johnson would not go away without a fight. As the white flag was displayed Johnson applied as much pressure as he could drawing closer the rear of Edge’s #18 heading into turn 3 and 4 for the final time, but Edge hit his marks and flashed under the checkered flag 0.434 seconds ahead of the rallying Johnson. Last year’s Showdown on the Coast winner Kyle Bronson was third in his Brandon Ford sponsored ride, followed by Mark Whitener and Jacksonville, FL driver Jason Fitzgerald to round out the top 5.

The NeSmith Dirt Late Model Series has to make a quick turnaround as the series heads to Eastaboga, AL for the NASCAR Weekend Double Header events at “The Hornet’s Nest” Talladega Short Track. Friday Night October 21st will be a $2,000 to win, 40 lap event, followed on Saturday night with a $2,500 to win, 50 lap feature.

13 year old Sam Seawright Wins UCRA $5,000 Finale @ Fort Payne Motor Speedway

by Steve Hixson
Fyffe, AL (10/8/16) ---  Hometown youngster Sam Seawright of Fort Payne, took the biggest win of his career Saturday night after inheriting the lead from 2015 United Crate Racing Alliance champion Jake Teague just prior to the halfway point of the 60 lap feature at Fort Payne Motor Speedway. Twenty racers took to the weekend for action spread across three night for the season finale event at the 3/8 mile dirt track in Northeast Alabama. Teague took command early and set a torrid pace before suffering from mechanical fuel pump problems while under caution. Ethan Hunter then tracked down Seawright lap after lap, but couldn't get by the race leader/pole sitter. At one point as the laps drew towards the end the top 5 racers were nose to tail as back-marker traffic became involved heavily. Seawright and Teague won their respective $500 heat races Friday night to earn the front row starting positions. A Seawright Sweep conquered FPMS Saturday as Sam's older brother J.T. took the checkered flag in the Super Late Model $1,600  to-Win 30 lap feature. Rusty Ballenger of Seymour, TN will be honored by the UCRA in the coming weeks as the winner of the 2016 UCRA Championship and will pocket the $5,000 winnings for his efforts this season.
