Barnett Harley DIRTcar Modified Touring Series Title On The Line This Weekend In Two-Day Season Finale At Tucson's USA Raceway Park

- Submitted by Kevin Kovac, DIRTcar Racing PR

TUCSON, AZ — Aug. 28, 2008 — The 2008 Barnett Harley DIRTcar Modified Touring Series will come to an end in dramatic fashion this weekend (Aug. 30-31) at USA Raceway Park.

A mere 24 points separates the top-five drivers in the points standings entering the holiday weekend doubleheader at the three-eighths-mile oval, which will host complete programs topped by 30-lap features on both Saturday and Sunday night.

Anthony Madrid of Phoenix, Ariz., will carry a precarious points lead into the weekend. The 32-year-old standout who calls Phoenix’s Manzanita Speedway home has a mere six-point edge (223-217) over Jay Foster, another Phoenix product who is the reigning DIRTcar Modified champion at Canyon Speedway in Peoria, Ariz. -> Read More

TWIN CITIES LABOR DAY WEEKEND TO FEATURE COLLINS MEMORIAL

(Aug. 28) Twin Cities Raceway Park should give us all of the racing we want this weekend. The centerpiece of the weekend's is the Ted Collins Memorial. Collins was an active and highly respected area racer for many years. His family including his widow, Sue, and his sons, Trent and Tory, were active in the operation of Twin Cities for many years. They are currently active in the operation of Lawrenceburg Speedway. Having them on board has almost certainly helped the new owners get off to a good start in operating a first class facility. The racing begins Saturday Night with UMRA TQ Midget, crate late models, pure stocks, mini stocks, and 600 cc mini sprints.

Sunday afternoon there is a free hog roast. A 100 lap (or one hour) enduro will start 4:30. After the enduro, they will have mini-stock and cruiser racing. They will wrap the evening up with fireworks and a live band.

Monday, the Ted Collins Memorial will be held; and the signature race will be a super late model race with an open tire rule. In addition there will be modifieds, Super Stocks, pure stock, pro trucks, cruisers, bombers. On Monday afternoon the pit gate will open at 1:00 pm. Grandstands will open at 2:30 p.m. Hot laps will begin at 3:30 p.m; and racing will begin immediately following hot laps.

MSCS Sprint Car Winner Hunter Schuerenberger and crew celebrate in Victory Lane

- Article By Tim McKinney

The Midwest Sprint Car Series took their road show to Twin Cities Raceway Park Saturday night. The series covers a lot of territory and features drivers who want the prestige that they believe is available by performing well in a traveling series. They can face some pretty tough competition in the series' high dollar shows; however, in their basic shows, the competition probably isn't as tough as it is at the local shows such as the ones at Bloomington, Gas City, or Lawrenceburg.

In the feature at Twin Cities Saturday night, Hud Cone started on the pole and took the early lead. However, Sikeston, Mo.'s Hunter Schuerenberg fell in behind Cone and dogged him for the first eleven laps. And, on the 12th lap he slipped past Cone to take the point. However, Cone would not prove to be the only driver who would prove to be a stumbling block on his route to a feature win.

Brady Short had started mid-pack; and, on lap 19, he passed Cone to take second. He then set sail for Schuerenberg in hopes of winning his third consecutive MSCS feature win. Schuerenberg and Short took the white flag side by side. As they came out of turn four, Schuerenberg dove to the bottom and under Short to take the win by the scantest of margins. The win was Schuerenberg's eighth of the season.

Jeff Bland, Jr. came home third trailed by Jesse Cramer and John Memmer.

Logan Hupp of Columbus finished 13th; and Casey Riggs brought the Steve Chrisman owned and wrenched sprinter home 15th.

In preliminary action, Schuerenberg, Cone, and Bland won the heat races while Lance Grimes prevailed in the hooligan.

Broc Burton of Columbus finished sixth in the heat race and eighth in the hooligan. Tim Spindler, also of Columbus, finished eighth in his heat race; and he finished sixth in the hooligan, missing a transfer to the feature by only one spot.

In the same program William Burton of North Vernon took another step toward the Pure Stock championship. He started fifth and drove to a convincing win.

Burton's car looks as good as it runs. Pure stocks aren't known for their cosmetics; because the series has a strong tendency to be a full contact division. Burton is a very good driver; but no driver is good enough to avoid all of the crashes. That almost certainly indicates that he spends a lot of time on the appearance of the car.

More Coming!

Schatz Continues to Lead World of Outlaws Standings, Though Meyers Gains Ground after Win in Oil City Cup Finale

- Submitted by Tony Veneziano

Concord, NC— August 24, 2008— Donny Schatz used two Top-10 finishes in the second annual Oil City Cup at Castrol Raceway in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada this past weekend to remain atop the Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series championship standings. He is the only driver that has finished in the Top-10 in all 45 A-Feature events this season. That streak was in jeopardy on Friday night, after he was caught up in an accident on the 23rd lap that led to him getting upside and having to go to the work area for extensive repairs before the restart. Over the course of the final 12 circuits of that event, he charged from the 18th spot to finish ninth. The North Dakota native followed that up with a runner-up finish on Saturday night. He leads the series with 12 A-Feature wins this season aboard the Armor All J&J. -> Read More

PUTNAMVILLE — The 2008 racing season at Lincoln Park Speedway is beginning to look quite a bit like last year, which is good news for Billy Puterbaugh.
In 2007, Puterbaugh won four features at Lincoln Park Speedway on the way to claiming the points title. On Saturday night, Puterbaugh added his fourth win of 2008 and his third consecutive feature victory, besting Bobby Stines and Todd Kimmell across the finish line.

The win strengthened Puterbaugh’s points lead over Dickie Gaines, who finished fourth on Saturday. Puterbaugh now leads 652 to 562 with Kenny
Carmichael Sr. in third place ahead of Kimmell and Kenny Carmichael Jr. On the basis of a runner-up finish in his heat race, Kimmell started on the point for the feature and led the opening laps ahead of Derek Williams and Blake Fitzpatrick.


Casey Shuman was a man on a mission from his second row starting position. Slinging the Bud’s Auto Salvage sprinter into the corners looking for the
lead. Shuman had moved into a battle for the lead just ahead of Puterbaugh before jumping the cushion and losing a handful of positions.


Puterbaugh wasn’t going to be denied a third feature win when he pulled a slide job into turn four that stuck and gave the Brownsburg native the lead.


Gaines was close on his heels however, and briefly got by Kimmell for second-place before a turn one pileup brought out the caution. -> Read More
