HENDRICKSON NABS HIS SEVENTH FEATURE OF THE YEAR AT BRIDGEPORT SPEEDWAY

txo0rfe6qlso853715280143835BRIDGEPORT, NJ (June 27, 2010) - On Scout Night at Bridgeport

of the year. In the Crate Modified race, Neal Williams picked up the
victory. Jeremy Doerr took home the checkered flag in the Proformance
Cuts Outlaw Stock Car event and Matt Budd was the victor in the Rookie
race.

Matt Harrell took the Crouse Brothers’s Big Block Modified to the
front at the start of the 25-lap feature with Butch Tittle, Scott
Irwin and Jimmy Chester in the chase. As Harrell was setting the pace,
Chester motored up to second on lap 5 and Ryan Watt escalated himself
to third place on lap 6. A little further back, Wade Hendrickson was
charging from his eleventh starting position and reached the top five
on the eighth tour of the track. Back towards the front, Watt was
coming on strong as he swept by Chester two circuits later to gain
second. Harrell was just beginning to hit lap traffic when the first
caution of the event occurred on lap 11 as John Scarpati, Jr. began to
slow on the raceway. When green flag racing resumed, Watt launched
past Harrell for the lead with Hendrickson gaining second and Richie
Pratt, Jr. taking up third. The new top three were pulling away and
developing their own race when the caution lights came on for Rich
Acolia on lap 19. As the leader, Watt chose the outside pole for the
restart and Hendrickson used a strong inside rush to scamper by Watt
to become the new leader. On lap 21, Pratt,Jr. worked his way by Watt
to grab second place. As the top three remained in a tight pack,
Hendrickson, who was developing a push in the corners, nearly lost the
lead to Pratt, Jr. with two laps to go. When the checkered flag was
waving, Hendrickson had maintained his edge with Pratt, Jr. in second.
Watt wound up in third with Harrell in fourth and Chester in fifth.
The Big Block Modified heat race winners were Bob Sarkisian,
Hendrickson and Jimmy Horton, IV.

BLOOMQUIST NETS FIRST LUCAS OIL SERIES WIN FOR ROUSH-YATES AT VOLUNTEER SPEEDWAY

June 21, 2010

img4BULLS GAP, Tenn. (June 19) - Reigning Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion, Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN won his fifth series event of 2010 on Saturday Night at Volunteer Speedway. It was night number two of the Scorcher 100 Presented by Reece Monument Company. Bloomquist inherited the lead when race leader Dale McDowell broke a bolt in the lift bar on lap 32 after he had led the first 31 laps of the race. Chris Madden of Gaffney, SC finished second followed by Jonathan Davenport of Blairsville, GA; Ray Cook of Brasstown, NC; and Eric Wells of Hazard, KY.

June 19 Race Photos - Volunteer Speedway

Bloomquist inherited the outside front row of the 50 lap feature event and started alongside McDowell. Originally, Dan Schlieper, the fast qualifier for the night, was scheduled to start outside of the front row but he had to withdraw from the race after being transported to a local hospital for a medical issue.

McDowell grabbed the point at the start of the race followed by Bloomquist, Wells, Steve Casebolt and Ray Cook. Madden started eighth and was making headway early on as he climbed to fifth around Cook on lap two. Madden was then able to corral Casebolt and pass him on lap four to take over the fourth position.

Up front, McDowell was setting a blistering pace. By the ninth lap he had already caught the tail-end of the field. Bloomquist was able to close some ground on McDowell as they had a lapped car between them when the first caution of the race came out on lap eleven for Texas driver, Chris Brown.

On the restart, Wells looked like he was going to beat Bloomquist into turn for the second spot, but Bloomquist through a slidejob at Wells in turn two to regain the position.

McDowell was looking solid as he was seeking his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory of the year in the Clint Bowyer owned car. McDowell built a six-car length lead over Bloomquist by lap 23 as more traffic was playing havoc with the frontrunners.

Bloomquist was able to cut into McDowell’s lead, narrowing it to two lengths with 28 laps scored. Meanwhile Wells, who had held the third spot from the beginning of the race, dropped two spots in the running order as both Madden and Davenport passed him on lap 28 as he would fall to fifth.

With 30 laps complete it was still McDowell holding a three-car length margin over Bloomquist, Madden, Davenport and Wells. McDowell led lap 31, but sparks appeared from the back-end of his car as the bolt in the lift bar broke.

Bloomquist picked up the lead of the race with Madden moving into second followed by Davenport, Wells and Casebolt. With no caution flags on the horizon Bloomquist looked to have clear sailing to the finish line, but again traffic would enter into the equation as Bloomquist was being held up and that would allow both Madden and Davenport to gain on him.

Bloomquist was able to keep a four-car length advantage over the two in the closing laps as he was able to win without receiving any late race pressure. For Bloomquist the win was his 22nd series win of his career which ranks him first all-time and he also extended his points lead over Jimmy Owens, who finished 14th after having to run his back-up car after he collided with the backstretch wall in his primary car during time trials.

In Lucas Oil victory lane for the fifth time this year, Bloomquist scored his first win for his new engine builders, Roush-Yates out of North Carolina. “No doubt, the engine worked real well tonight, we went home and worked on the car from last night and everything worked great, the track was real good tonight, they worked on it, I saw sparks coming from Dale’s car and I knew he was in trouble, we hadn’t won one here in a while and it was a good points night to go along with the win,” said the 46-year-old Bloomquist who was joined in victory lane by his crew chief, Tommy Hicks.

“I have to thank Jay Dickens he put this together (the Roush-Yates deal) and they have worked real hard on it, we obviously are pleased so far with the program and hope to get many more wins,” said Bloomquist who drives his own self-designed Bloomquist Race Cars Chassis sponsored by Miller Brothers Construction, Hawkeye Trucking, Sweet Mfg, VP Racing Fuels, Hoosier Tires, Arizona Sport Shirts, Ohlins and Lane Automotive. The win for Bloomquist was the 491st of his career.

Madden who finished second in the 4th Annual Car Smart Race for the Cure [Juvenile Diabetes] on Thursday Night at Cleveland (TN) Speedway claimed his second runner-up finish of the weekend in the Century Plastics/Hamrick’s of Gaffney/Bloomquist Race Cars Monte Carlo SS followed by Davenport in the Baird Transport/Clements Racing Engines/Barry Wright Race Cars entry. Cook came home fourth in the D&R Racing/Hicks and Ingle Company general Contracting/MasterSbilt Monte Carlo SS with Wells gaining the fifth spot in the Cox Wrecker Service/Custom Race Engines/Rocket Monte Carlo SS.

Completing the top ten were Steve Casebolt of Richmond, IN, Vic Hill of Morristown, TN, Don O’Neal of Martinsville, IN, Brad Neat of Dunnville, KY and Chris Wall of Holden, LA.

JIMMY PHELPS CONTINUES HIS TORRID PACE PICKING UP THE DIRTcar BIG BLOCK MODIFIED WIN AT FULTON SPEEDWAY

FULTON,NY June 19, 2010 (By Dave Medler) - Jimmy Phelps out of Baldwinsville, NY remains red-hot in the DIRTcar Big Block Modifieds as Phelps backed up his win Friday night at the Brewerton Speedway with a last lap pass to win Saturday night at the Fulton Speedway. Phelps drove under Chuck Bower exiting turn four to go on to the exciting win.

Other winners on SUNY Canton I.D night were, Rich Townsend SUNY Canton DIRTcar Sportsman and Dale Caswell in the NAPA Late Models. Rain moved over the speedway forcing officials to put the E&V Energy Novice Sportsman and Gladiator features first on the card this coming Saturday night June, 26th.

Mike Mahaney and Mike Bowman led the 26 car starting field down to the green with Mahaney gaining the early advantage in the 35 lap DIRTcar Big Block Modified feature.

With 5 laps showing on the lap counter, Mahaney had a narrow two-car advantage over Michael Storms, Chuck Bower ran alone in third with Bowman and Pat Ward showing in the top-five.

On lap 10, Mahaney and Storms ran nose to tail as Bower started moving in on the top-two, Bowman and Ward still ran fourth and fifth.

The caution would fly on lap 15 when Tom Sears came to a stop on the back straight. On the restart Storms took advantage of the outside as he blasted by Mahaney to be scored the new leader.

At the halfway point Storms built up a half a straightaway lead, Bower, Matt Sheppard, Mahaney and Ward tried to close the gap on Storms.

With 10 laps to go Storms, Bower and Sheppard came three-wide across the line with Bower being shown as the new leader by inches.

On lap 29 Sheppard grabbed the top spot, his lead would be short lived as he dashed to the pits under a yellow on lap 30 ending his shot at the win.

With 2 laps to go Phelps moved into second and took off after Bower. Bower and Phelps would run side by side with Phelps being able to drive into the lead exiting turn four off the bottom as they came down to the white flag. Phelps would take the win by 0.638 seconds. Pat Ward, Billy Decker, Chuck Bower and Michael Storms rounded out the top-five.

With his fifth place finish Michael Storms earned the Dig Safely New York $500 Bonus Bucks Merchandise Award from Motorsports Safety Systems.

“I’m tickled pink how great this car is. I thought maybe we hurt it, I got into the fence on that last restart,” Jimmy Phelps bounced his J&B Installations 99j Troyer hard off the front straight wall with a handful of laps left in the feature. “The brakes went totally to the floor, but fortunately the car stuck in the corners and we didn’t need a whole lot of brake. Troyer has some good stuff going on; we have great support from a lot of people.”

Phelps now leads both the Brewerton Speedway and Fulton Speedway Big Block Modified point standings as he keeps racking up wins. “This car just doesn’t fade. It’s not lightning fast right out of the box, the tires start getting hot and the car is still there, that’s what we have been missing over the years.”
