<u>Friday, November 2nd</u></h3>
<br />
Eighty degrees and not a cloud in the sky in Queen Creek, Arizona on Friday, November 2nd. Perfect weather for night 1 of the Western World! After talking with race promoter, Jonah Trussel, I discovered they had a huge turnout for practice night on Thursday, resulting in a little drier track conditions than were initially anticipated, on Friday.<br />

<u>Friday Qualifying</u></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
The track surface was damp and tacky during hot laps. However, the surface begin to widen and dry by the start of qualifying. The surface began to take rubber near the mid-point of qualifying, making the bottom quicker. 8 of the top-10 qualifiers hit the track in the latter-half of the 30 cars who made the call on Friday, with "T-MEZ" Thomas Meseraull ripping a 15.204 second lap around the 3/8th's mile high-banked Arizona Speedway surface, to claim Quick Time honors!</div>

The USAC Southwest 360 feature was nothing short of spectacular on Friday, with two distinct racing grooves at Arizona Speedway allowing for plenty of passing! The first 18 laps were completed without incident, as 6th place-starting Jake Swanson charged on the outside line to grab the lead early, only to be chased-down and passed by 10th place-starting Brady Bacon. Bacon grabbed the lead from Swanson just past the halfway mark of the 30 lap race, only to lose it back to Swanson in lapped traffic, just before the caution on lap 18. The last 12 laps were a little sloppy, as a couple more incidents slowed the race, most notably one ending Ryan Bernal's night with 5 laps to go. Swanson proved unbeatable running the cushion on Friday, as he rimmed the outside perfectly to claim the USAC Southwest 360 feature on night 1 of the Western World! This was Jake's 2nd victory at Arizona Speedway in 2018, as he won a USAC/CRA race just a little over a month ago. Bacon held-on to finish 2nd, while RJ Johnson charged to finish 3rd, just ahead of Stevie Sussex. 19th place-starting Kevin Thomas Jr, 17th-place starting Chris Windom and 18th place-starting CJ Leary put on a hell of a show charging to finish 5th, 7th and 8th, respectively!</div>

Justin Grant started on the pole position Friday and used the outside line to fire-off to a commanding lead. The first 16 laps went green and it was all Grant up-front. "Sunshine" Tyler Courtney was a distant 2nd followed by "The Demon" Damion Gardner, Kevin Thomas Jr, CJ Leary and Chris Windom were your top-6 when Jason McDougal spun off of turn 2 to bring out the first caution of the race. Courtney rimmed the cushion perfectly on the ensuing restart and slipped by Grant to take the lead. Sunshine led up until lap 25, when Grant utilized the high line to sneak back by him while Courtney got held-up by lapped traffic. Grant ran the outside perfectly the last 5 laps, as Courtney remained in hot pursuit of the lead. Sunshine threw a last-stab slider at the entry of turn 1, on the last lap, but Grant kept his foot in the gas on the outside and he was able to hold on for the win! Courtney settled for 2nd place, while Gardner, Windom and Thomas Jr rounded-out the top-5.</div>

Not only did Saturday mark the last night of the 2018 Western World, it also marked the last chance for drivers to pick-up a win or reduce the points lead of their competitors, before heading to Perris, California next week for the Budweiser Oval Nationals. This also marked just 4 races left on the 2018 USAC National Tour, along with the USAC/CRA Tour. Weather was very similar on Saturday, than it was on Friday, with consistent sunshine in the mid-80's and a faint breeze. Unfortunately, two straight nights of 40+ cars began to take its toll on Arizona Speedway, as the track crew seemed challenged with keeping moisture within the surface.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
For the second consecutive night, speeds and lap times were blistering in hot laps. However, the track surface quickly began to cave after having 60+ cars on it, as the surface began to dry during qualifying. It seemed that having a fast car could overcome the track conditions during qualifying, but having a fast car during the perfect track conditions guaranteed a fast lap. Wheeling Robert Ballou's machine, "The People's Champ" Dave Darland, sped-around Arizona Speedway in 15.235 seconds on Saturday, earning Quick Time on the evening!</div>

<u>Saturday Heat Races</u></h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Saturday's Heat Races reflected the confines that a dry surface provides. The Arizona Speedway track crew opted to not spend nearly as much time working the racing surface on Saturday, knowing there were pre-race events to be held later in the evening and with the hopes that racing would end before 11:00pm. This made passing very challenging, as most races were ran on a one-groove surface. While there were a few minor incidents on Saturday, Dave Darland, Colton Hardy, Kevin Thomas Jr and Ryan Bernal all claimed USAC Southwest 360 Heat Race victories! Unfortunately for Darland, he forgot to go to the scales after his heat win, causing him to start in the 23rd and final position in Saturday's feature, after being opted-in as a promoter's choice.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Isaac Chapple, Tyler Courtney, Kevin Thomas Jr and Chase Stockon all claimed Heat Race triumphs in USAC National/CRA competition on Saturday! "T-MEZ" Thomas Meseraull made easy work of the B-main feature that was held later in the evening, transferring to Saturday night's main event along with Josh Hodges, Logan Seavey, Austin Williams, Stevie Sussex and Logan Williams. The stage was now set for the 51st annual Western World!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
As we mentioned earlier, track conditions were a bit more challenging on Saturday, than they were on Friday. The narrow groove made passing more challenging and made it treacherous to run the cushion. Unfortunately, last night's big winner, Jake Swanson, discovered just how treacherous it was to run the outside, as he hooked the cushion wrong on lap 7, sending him on a soft tumble. Thankfully, Jake was okay, but it ended his night in 360 competition. The red flag also erased Ryan Bernal's big lead, as he had led from the pole position. 5th place-starting Brady Bacon smelled blood in the water and it didn't take him long to work by Bernal on the bottom, on the ensuing restart! A few more cautions slowed the pace in the second-half of the race, but no one had anything for Brady Bacon, as he cruised to win the USAC Southwest 360 feature, claiming 2018 Western World Championship honors in that division! Bernal barely held-off a charging RJ Johnson, who recovered from an early spin, as the two finished 2nd and 3rd on Saturday with Kevin Thomas Jr and 16th place-starting Stevie Sussex rounding-out the top-5 finishers!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Big Daddy" Chris Windom shared the front row with "The Demon" Damion Gardner on Saturday, as both had aspirations of claiming the 2018 Western World Championship! Windom fired-off to the early lead and led by nearly a straightaway by lap 4, but his lead was erased by a caution that flew for Matt Rossi's spin. Dave Darland and Tyler Courtney had already worked their way up to 2nd and 3rd place respectively, from their 6th and 5th place starting positions, by lap 4. Windom had a terrible restart, surrendering 1st, 2nd and 3rd place to Darland, Courtney and CJ Leary in turns 1 and 2. Only 1 lap was completed before the field was slowed by another caution for a spin, but it was enough to mire Windom back in 4th place.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Darland led from lap 5 to lap 17, as the track begin to take rubber in the high line, making it a one-groove surface. "Sunshine" Tyler Courtney slipped past Darland on lap 17, as "The People's Champ" got held-up in lapped traffic. Caution was thrown on lap 18, as Austin Williams got extremely sideways in turns 1 and 2, drawing the yellow flag. Darland remained in hot pursuit of Courtney on the ensuring restart, with CJ Leary, Chris Windom and Damion Gardner rounding-out the top-5. Matt Rossi's right rear tire expired, due to the rubber-down conditions, just as the leaders took the white flag. USAC officials were forced to throw the caution on lap 29, as Rossi stopped just below the flagstand, with the leaders getting ready to come flying off of turn 4.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The green-white-checkered finish was no challenge for Courtney, as he cruised to win for the first time in his career in Arizona, crowning himself the 2018 Western World Champion! Darland gave Robert Ballou's machine a hell of a run on Saturday night, finishing 2nd to Courtney after leading early and claiming Quick Time earlier. CJ Leary finished a quietly-impressive 3rd place on Saturday, followed by Windom and Logan Seavey rounding-out the top-5 finishers!</div>

<br />
Hey there race fans, now that the super late model racing season is officially over due to Dog Hollow cancelling it's show scheduled for November 16th and 17th, I can go final with these here rankings.<br />
<br />
I'd write a bunch of words here, but I think it's best described in song form...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Besides, you're about to read huge pile of names anyways, and I didn't want to tire you out with a bunch of words that aren't the rankings and I figure a sweet tune might might make that reading exercise just a touch easier.<br />
<br />
So let's go ahead and get to that final countdown of drivers, and this time, instead of just the top ten, it'll be every driver that scored points in Pennsylvania this year. The number in parenthesis after the driver's names is the number of wins on the year. <br />

And there you have it, all 146 drivers that scored at least a point this year, and I gotta say, it's a pretty diverse list. Names from all corners of the state and beyond, and even the best sprint car driver on the planet is in there.<br />
<br />
So that's all for this year folks. Look for pretty much the same type of scoring as this year for next year, and I'll see ya the Monday after the first super late model race in the state of Pennsylvania in 2019<b>! </b> Josh Baykohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00817744735740272808noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6400804503847496066.post-88648105221374565552018-11-05T22:24:00.001-05:002018-11-05T23:13:32.958-05:00Commentary: Hashbrown Reflections-2018 World Finals Delivers Once Again<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">And then it was over. Just like that. The 2018 racing season for a lot of us has come to an end. I sit in a Waffle House outside of Charlotte in reflection, after an action packed weekend that completely delighted me, kept me entertained and provided thrilling racing. I've been able to say that for each of the nine years I've attended and that's perhaps the ultimate compliment to pay an event like this. It contained over 160 cars and saw a tremendous event staff that is totally underrated, run off a three division, 160 plus car show with Swiss watch like precision, despite weather obstacles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It's midnight now and as I put my fork into my double order of hash browns (Scattered, Covered and Smothered) which is the best way to consume one of the cornerstones of the menu at any Waffle House, it starts to hit me, 'This weekend had a little bit of everything', and it truly did. Everything from a young and talented female driver that set a group quick time in Sprint Car action and then proceeded to win a heat. It saw a class guy who had deserved more than he's ever received in his racing career, work his way forward, towards the most dynamic driver in Northeast Modified racing in ninja-like fashion and overtake him for a popular win. It saw a legend show us one more reason why he's one of the best of all time in a performance that was textbook and dominant.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It saw a truly dreadful afternoon race, followed by one of the best afternoon races I have seen in recent memory. There were two Sprint Car races that looked basically to be locked away by their leader halfway through that ended in heartbreak for that particular leader. There were free souvenirs if you consider pieces of an exploded tire that amazingly flung themselves over a fairly tall catch fence. There was a breathtaking sunset for the ages. There was rain, but not weekend-killing rain. And like most years at the World Finals, bone chilling cold, prompting the 14,000 fans in the stands to don hoodies and tough it out for the greatest shows on dirt.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<b><i><u><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">One More Tennessee Ass Whoopin'</span></u></i></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">He wasn't late to the show. And there was nothing in the way of petty dramatics in the works. Scott Bloomquist simply raced and simply delivered as dominant performance as there has been in the history of the event. Starting at the front of the 50-lap World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model on Saturday night was no guarantee for Bloomquist. He'd already let a race slip through his fingers earlier in the day from a front row starting spot. But not in the nightcap. It was classic Bloomquist in terms of performance and it was great to see whether you're a fan of his or not. By the way, booing him won't bother him in the slightest, he's just happy you bought a ticket to watch the race if the truth is to be told.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It had been years since Bloomquist had tasted victory lane at The Dirt Track at Charlotte, 2009 to be exact and one had to wonder if or when he'd be back. Perhaps that's a testament to the fields the event attracts. There are typically around 65-75 plus cars a year during this particular weekend and the level of stoutness is near a World or Dream 100 level. It's simply a hard race to win for any driver. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />But on Saturday night, Bloomquist hit all the marks, every single time while building up an insurmountable lead which he maintained through the lapped traffic. It was a performance that had his fans standing and screaming when all was said and done, and had non fans racing for the exits with 20 laps to go. It was a Tennessee Ass Whoopin' to remember and worth watching every lap. </span><br />

<b><i><u><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Fuller Reminds Us He's Still Got The Goods</span></u></i></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Was anybody actually not rooting for Tim Fuller halfway through the Super DIRTcar Series main event on Saturday night? Well, perhaps not Matt Sheppard fans in attendance. They'd be rewarded at the end of the night as he finished yet another championship season atop the podium. But not before they watched a masterful performance from Fuller. The former World of Outlaw Craftsman Late Model driver had been returned to being a fixture back behind the wheel of a Big Block Modified and had achieved some good results, including some SDS tour main event wins earlier this season. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">However, those who knew him for being a solid driver in both types of cars and didn't get chances to see him since his Late Model tour departure got a chance to watch him yet again in Charlotte. And they got to see his return to victory lane. Fuller ran Sheppard down through a maze of lapped traffic after the leader had amassed a near straightaway advantage over him. Fuller was patient, and timed his final ninja like assault perfectly as he waited for the opportune moment for Sheppard to get hung on a pair of lapped cars. Fuller wasted no time when the time came to strike for the lead. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />It was a great win for a driver that had been so underappreciated over the years. He'd won at Charlotte before years ago. But this win felt completely different. It had to feel more rewarding for Fuller who showed a packed grandstand that he's alive and doing well....and even better than that perhaps following a season that saw him return to contending form. It was a welcome sight for a class guy that drives clean, hard and with precision. </span><br />

<b><i><u><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Ironic Endings In Sprints</span></u></i></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In World of Outlaw Sprint Car action, it looked as if Shane Stewart and Carson Macedo were destined for victory lane on the big stage. Stewart looked dominant in the early feature on Saturday afternoon, only to succumb to an exploded tire (see more below) while Macedo suffered a flat with 23 laps down while leading during the nightcap. The wins would have been perfect for either driver as Stewart will be moving on from Kyle Larson Racing this off season while Macedo who turned heads on a nightly basis with the Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Cars was making his second start for Larson on Saturday night. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Ian Madsen and Donny Schatz inherited the wins, in Schatz's case after he'd thwarted a last minute effort from a strong running Logan Schuchart who charged from 20th to second and held the lead for a brief second in the waning laps before Schatz put him to his tail tank for good. Their wins were deserved, but if there were ever a time I'd like to turn back the clock and watch things play out differently, this weekend would have been the time. Take nothing away from Madsen and Schatz, but Stewart and Macedo deserved better fates. </span><br />

<b><i><u><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Don't Forget Your Rubber</span></u></i></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Just a quick side note. When Stewart's tire exploded, it flew into a good many pieces which I alluded to before. I just have to say, I'd much rather have caught a piece of a tire than say a foul ball at Wrigley field or a puck out of the rink at Boston Garden. Lots of folks have those kinds of things. But nobody has a tire piece that they caught with their own bare hands. </span><br />

<b><i><u><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Afternoon Delight</span></u></i></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">And finally, the Super DIRTcar Series got things started on Saturday afternoon with quite possibly one of the hardest to watch races of 2018. Sun and temperatures in the 60's plus 2500 plus pounds on a chassis designed to roll on the right rear sets the stage for tires to pop at will. And that's exactly what happened as a steady pit parade was the norm on caution laps throughout the 40 lap feature. Brett Hearn eventually won by keeping the field behind him, surviving more restarts than any driver in recent memory and by keeping the right rear tire on his car intact. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">However, the Super Late Model feature that followed more than made up for it. There was passing, forward movement and a nip and tuck battle for the lead by Tim McCreadie and Brandon Sheppard who had the grandstands virtually standing at times. Sheppard made his way around, but there was probably more action on display in the 50 lap main event than virtually all 100 lap afternoon races in the last few years combined. Kudos to the track prep team and the drivers. It was the first time I stood and cheered at the end of an afternoon show.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">And then, the hash browns in front of me were gone, just like the World Finals. Was it me, or did they simply flash by? Either way, I'd have loved one more night of them, or 100 more nights if I'm truly honest. Great job to all involved. And congrats to Donny Schatz, Mike Marlar and Matt Sheppard on amazing seasons. </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14999200673883278878noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6400804503847496066.post-64423325852926152352018-11-04T00:33:00.000-04:002018-11-04T00:33:04.758-04:002018 World Finals Pick'Em - Final StandingsPhew...writing this after spending a long 12-hour day at the track. I think I speak for all of us at that were in the stands, pits, and everyone at TDN when I say kudos to the entire staff at The Dirt Track at Charlotte, World Racing Group, and all three premier series that made this weekend happen. Every year seems it seems to grow in one form or another, and this year's edition was by no means easy to get in. But alas, we were provided with a great track and great racing by the end of the weekend and I hope that's something that we don't take for granted.<br />
<br />
Now to the Pick'Em standings....<br />
<br />
Bringing home the 1st place crown and $200 top prize was Shawn Brink (@Sbrink7524) as he came one point shy of hitting the 500-pt mark! Brink's win is the first TDN Pick'Em win to my knowledge, and what better way to hit it big than in our highest paying contest to date! His winning driver selections were Donny Schatz, David Gravel, Tim Shaffer, Brandon Sheppard, Scott Bloomquist, Dale McDowell, Brett Hearn and Matt Sheppard. Congrats Shawn on a great performance!<br />
<br />
Finishing runner-up was Brian Shane (@shanegangracn) who fell 6 points shy of the winner's total. He'll receive a $50 Visa gift card for his efforts. Like Brink, I believe this is his first appearance on the podium of one of our major contests. Shane's driver's roster was comprised of Brad Sweet, Donny Schatz, Tim Shaffer, Brandon Sheppard, Scott Bloomquist, Darrell Lanigan, Brett Hearn and Tim Fuller.<br />
<br />
Rounding out the World Finals Pick'Em podium is Ryan Smith (@smith_ryan8). Smith is a regular entrant in our special event contests and was able to utilize his prior experience en route to his Top 3 finish. He'll receive the awesome prize of his choice of any R&R Racewear t-shirt! His driver picks were Brad Sweet, Donny Schatz, Tim Shaffer, Brandon Sheppard, Scott Bloomquist, Rick Eckert, Brett Hearn and Matt Sheppard.<br />
<br />
For those keeping score at home, the best combination of picks would have been Logan Schuchart, Donny Schatz, Tim Shaffer, Brandon Sheppard, Scott Bloomquist, Chase Junghans, Brett Hearn and Matt Sheppard. They would have yielded the highest possible total of 542 points!<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Okay, so Donny Schatz has wrapped up another title before the season comes to an end at The Dirt Track at Charlotte. Donny Schatz gonna Donny Schatz! However, there's some good news to help keep your Sprint Car viewing intriguing and engaging this weekend. As it turns out, there's so much talent on hand, that it's kind of a wide open affair at the Annual World of Outlaws World Finals.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Sure enough, both Schatz and Jason Meyers (we miss thee), each swept the feature wins in previous years, and Schatz is coming fresh off a 51,000 win in the Tuscarora 50 at Port Royal on Sunday. But his dominance can be mitigated by track conditions, pill draw and the fact that there's always a stout field on hand. Plus, this track has been one that normally lends itself to racy conditions that are not always topside dominant.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Remember the 2012 Saturday night battle between Paul McMahan and Dale Blaney as the two drivers traded slide jobs on seemingly every lap in the waning moments with Blaney emerging as the victor (riding the topside nonetheless). It's a tough field that presents itself to fans this weekend and the fact that Time Trials occur one and two days before the racing programs, it's an easy setup to miss. Fans can pretty much tell who made anticipated adjustments better from the moment the heats take the green flag on Friday and Saturday.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">But the bottom line for this weekend, is that there's at least 30 drivers out there in a 50 plus car field that are looking for at least one more win in 2018 and can get the job done, and they're hungry for it. Whether it's to look good for a potential new ride, to finish the year on a high note, or simply for pride's sake</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So, who should you be looking out for in Victory Lane this coming weekend? Here's a small sampling of drivers that should surprise nobody if they should be holding trophies when all is said and done in the Queen Ci</span>ty.<br />

<b><i><u><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Logan Schuchart</span></u></i></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">He's got a feature win at The Dirt Track at Charlotte and has stalked the leaders through the field in recent years. Schuchart definitely knows his way around the place, it's a track that suits his style and he's going to be a tough out here. </span><br />
<br />
<b><i><u><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Brian Brown</span></u></i></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Brown struck pay dirt at Charlotte in 2014 and has been fast of late, setting a track record at Port Royal on Sunday afternoon. There's nothing in the field he hasn't seen or overcome and the timing could be perfect for another victory this weekend. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i><u><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Gio Scelzi</span></u></i></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Don't look at us like that. It can be done by a 16 year old. It was done by a 16 year old at Williams Grove with just as stout a field on hand. Scelzi's the goods. And speed might be all that he needs here should he time well and be able to avoid being bogged down in lapped traffic with the lead. </span><br />

<b><i><u><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">David Gravel</span></u></i></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This would be the Connecticut Yankee in the Outlaw Court's swan song with CJB Motorsports, and you can bet that Gravel will be looking to go out on a winning note. He muscled his way to the win over Schatz last year and fans know that he's more than capable. 2018 hasn't gone his way and has been a struggle at times, and that happens in the best of relationships between drivers, crew and ownership. But there's a pride factor at work with this being his final two races with this team. Don't count him out. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><i><u><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Brad Sweet</span></u></i></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">"The Big Cat" has had a very nice second half to 2018 to say the least and has been in the hunt for the top spot on the podium in almost every race lately it seems. He led the 2017 Memorial Day weekend until Schuchart ran him down in lapped traffic and knows his way around the place. Expect him to figure into the podium on both nights perhaps.</span><br />

<b><i><u><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Tim Shaffer</span></u></i></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Okay, looking for a dark horse? Look no further. And no, we're not just saying that because we're pretty much from the Pittsburgh, PA vicinity. Shaffer's record at The Dirt Track over the years has not been as legendary as others. But, it's been that kind of year for "The Steel City Outlaw". The kind of year where he's at his best when there's a lot at stake. Okay, so there's only $12,000 on the line each night, but there's a ton of eyes on it in the stands and on pay per view. It's a big stage and on big stages, he's been at his best in 2018. </span><br />
<br />
<b><i><u><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Keep Eyes On These Guys</span></u></i></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Paul McMahan- Has numerous wins at The Dirt Track including a World Finals win and would love to finish the year on a good note. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Joey Saldana- See Paul McMahan. They both love this place. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Greg Wilson- He's got a win at Charlotte on his portfolio. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Okay, so if you're going to place bets in Vegas, put some bucks on Schatz, not much of a return, but it's hard to resist. But when you spread it around, put some on these guys above. They're more than capable of taking the win on either night. Enjoy the shows!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was thinking the other day about one of my favorite all
time events coming up the first weekend of November when the annual World
Finals take center stage and the end of the checkered flag falls on the 2018
season for all intents and purposes. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
thought, in the form of a question which is totally unanswerable, was<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>‘Do all dirt roads really lead to
Charlotte’?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is after all, associated
with most social media surrounding the event.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Did somebody actually drive eight hours or so, on unpaved roads?
Probably not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I wouldn’t mind taking
them if they truly made a path to The Dirt Track at Charlotte.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I’d enjoy every bump in the road on the way down with a
smile on my face, especially this year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mike
Marlar leads the standings by 22 points over Chris Madden coming into the
weekend with two main events left at a track Madden has traditionally done very
well at and knows as well as any track he’s raced on in National touring
action. Add the fact that last year’s champion, Brandon Sheppard lurks just 40
points behind Marlar, a gap that is more than within his grasp given the fact
that the number of non Outlaw touring drivers will be high and could very well
be making some point gaps, and it’s even more exciting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For
me, there’s not much more of a thrilling moment than a duel for a championship
that is still undecided with a handful of laps remaining in the final race. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But what makes a points battle even more special a lot of
times, are the stories of the drivers that are participating in it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For years, I’d been wondering when Mike
Marlar might be tempted to take on a National tour, just to see how he would
stack up over the course of a whole season, while driving at some places he
might not have seen before, or very rarely.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And he didn’t disappoint as he garnered five wins and was a fixture on
the podium.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A championship for him would
be a feather in a cap full of big crown jewel wins. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Madden probably drove
well enough to earn a title in 2017 if he weren’t running the same tour with
Sheppard who had one of the most dominant seasons in recent memory with 18
wins. This year, Sheppard is chasing him, and he’s only 22 points out of the
lead, instead of 390 as was the case last season.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It would be a deserved title too. Madden has
found victory lane eight times this year, twice more than last season and scored
the win in the $30,000 to win Firecracker 100 in June.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It would be a great accomplishment to augment
a career that has gone slightly underappreciated and under-publicized in my
opinion, and would be a great moment to bestow upon his hometown fans as the
action will take place in his own backyard basically. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To see Sheppard find a way to the title in a year that has
seen some great moments, taking the $50,000 win at Cedar Lake, WI in the USA
100 chief among them, but has also seen some misfortune come his way from a
standings standpoint, would be thrilling to say the least. And if there were
a driver that could overcome a 40 point gap in two feature events, it’s
Sheppard. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It's going to be a great weekend at a legendary facility
that has produced some stand out moments in the sport’s history. Will we see
something similar to what we saw in 2011 when Josh Richard’s flat tire with two
laps to go helped Rick Eckert to his championship? Probably nothing that
dramatic will be in store, but you never know, anything’s possible.
Championship battles on the last weekend of the season are something of a rare
treat, they don’t happen that often in either National touring series and when
they do happen, they’re moments to remember. The best part about this one, is
that it happens with between 15,000 and 20,000 fans all feasting their eyes on
the action and tons of pyrotechnics in the background, setting a stage that
champions will remember forever. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Something tells me that we’re all about to remember what
happens at the place where all dirt roads lead this year. Get your tickets,
pack all your hoodies because there’s nothing like a chilly fall night in Charlotte,
it’s different than a crisp feeling night virtually anywhere else. (Most of the
Big Block Modified fans from the Northeast will tell you this), get ready to
eat some Waffle House and make your plans to be there. You won’t want to miss
it! </span></div>

<br />
And when the checkered flag waved over our annual World 100 Pick'Em Contest, Phil Swartzlander stood atop the leader board as this year's contest winner! The weekly Lernerville Pick'Em standout collected his first crown jewel pick'em event championship and was impressive in doing so, winning by a comfortable margin.<br />
<br />
Swartzlander's lineup went like this:<br />
<br />
Brandon Sheppard<br />
Brandon Overton<br />
Jimmy Owens<br />
Kyle Bronson<br />
Chase Junghans<br />
<br />
Sheppard was money in the first two shows, earning those who selected him 40 and 50 points on the first two nights, while Brandon Overton managed to score impressive numbers on shows two and three. Jimmy Owens was good for 30 points on all three events, but the selection which may have made the difference was Junghans who went pointless on opening night, but had a great final day, coming through with 45 points, uncommon for a tier three selection.<br />
<br />
Joining Phil on the podium this year Stacy Erdner and RacinMom75.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We've done it again...this year's <i>World of Outlaws World Finals Pick'Em Contest</i> will again boast the highest payout in our near five-year history. Did we mention that it's 100% free to play? Last year we hit a personal high in contestants with 414. We'd love to bump that number up a little further this year...but we can't do that without your help. Please share with all your friends, family and loved ones!</span><br />

Hey there race fans, two weeks later it's Monday, and that means it's time for me to upfdate these here rankings.<br />
<br />
There were two scoring shows this week, the Steel City Stampede at Lernerville and the World Series of Dirt Racing at Selinsgrove. Both were special shows scored on the seven point scale, and both happened on Saturday. Points from last weekend's Pittsburgher are also reflected in this week's rankings, but as we <a href="https://twitter.com/TheDirtNetwork/status/1049292225165885440" target="_blank">Tweeted</a> last week, none of those points affected the top ten, so I took the week off these rankings. Because let's be serious, a top ten that showed nobody scored any points would be a pretty useless writeup.<br />
<br />
I've checked all the schedules, and there is only one scoring week left, next week, which sees shows at Clinton County and Dog Hollow this coming weekend. That means, next week will be ourfinal rankings for 2018, and the full season long rankings will be posted for the first time all year.<br />
<br />
That said, I've done the math. Jeff Rine has clinched the championship for the second consecutive year. Nothing that happens next week would allow anybody to catch him. I'd like to congratulate Jeff on another absurdly consistent year of action. If you go into central PA, your'e going to have to beat Jeff, and that is a <i>very </i>tall order.<br />
<br />
That doesn't mean we won't see some changes in the rest of the top ten next week though, as just about all of those drivers will be in action at one of the two tracks racing next week. Will be interesting to see how that all shakes out.<br />
<br />
Now, let's go ahead and get to those rankings.<br />
<br />
<b>1. Jeff Rine (10), 133 points. </b><br />
<br />
<b>2. Max Blair (10), 111 points. </b><br />
<br />
<b>3. Dylan Yoder (5), 98 points. </b>Dylan picked up the win at Selinsgrove Saturday.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Jared Miley (5), 69 points. </b><br />
<br />
<b>4. Jon Lee (5), 69 points. </b><br />
<br />
<b>6. Michael Norris (10), 66 points. </b><br />
<br />
<b>7. Coleby Frye (5), 63 points. </b>Coleby ran third at Selinsgrove Saturday.<br />
<br />
<b>8. Gene Knaub (1), 58 points. </b>Gene came home Second at Selinsgrove Saturday.<br />
<br />
<b>9. Andy Haus (2), 55 points. </b><br />
<br />
<b>10. Michael Maresca (3), 52 points. </b><br />
<br />
<b>10. Mike Marlar (1), 52 points. </b><br />
<br />
And that's our top ten for this week. Check back next Monday for the final update of the season!'<br />

<br />
<br />
When the powers that be at the national Dirt Late Model touring sanctions and larger scale regional ones look back at all that is good with their product, and all the excitement they bring fans and the moments we remember for years, I wonder if they ever think back to what got left behind in the creation of their success. It’s hard to say. Hey, who wants to spoil a good time? Plus, an enormous amount of blood, sweat and tears go into the making of entertainment on that scale.<br />
<br />
I love going to those shows as much as anybody. And I can’t begrudge their success for the life of me. They identified a demand, and used their resources to offer up a supply worthy of the ticket price. This is fundamental economics, capitalism at work. But at the same time, as I look at tracks that have had to drop weekly Super Late Models due to lack of cars, I can’t help but feel awful for the fans that can’t afford to travel to said shows anymore, and the drivers that had to put their cars away for good or sell them. It’s as if the sport that they helped build with their hard earned cash from countless hours at the full time job, in some way has turned it’s back on them, in a cruel way.<br />
<br />
And what’s just as distressing was something that I’ve been noticing more and more lately. I’m noticing that there’s less Crate Late Models in many places too. The decline in numbers is not as pronounced as the Supers have been, but it’s as if you can feel it when you look at the results and walk the pits at the weekly shows and talk to the drivers. <br />
<br />
The tours themselves don’t represent 100 percent of the problem. It’s not their fault that it’s so expensive to race. The chassis companies, engine producers, tire companies and parts manufacturers share in the present condition of anything Late Model related. And bear in mind that they probably don’t mean to cause anybody to feel bad. Those entities provide jobs to people and if there were no demand, those companies wouldn’t be in business. You can’t lay the total blame on the drivers either. They love racing, and are willing to spend what it takes to be competitive, because let’s face it, nobody likes to spend six figures a year to ride around in 15th place where they don’t even get the pit passes for the team back in their pocket let alone money for a new right rear.<br />
<br />
The Crate Engine, once considered the savior of weekly racing, was supposed to level the playing field and it actually did in terms of engine cost and a few other items. There are no rules against purchasing a brand new Rocket XR1 and putting said engine under the hood though and therein lies a disparity that the Crate sanctions can’t solve. Drivers will spend what it takes to win despite good intentions. So, the Late Model fan that had grown accustomed to weekly Supers, had to travel further to see them, and saw them less has to be feeling left behind. Sure, you can get used to Crates as a top class, but there’s probably less of you in the stands if that’s the case too. Then the tracks begin to suffer, they’re left behind in a way too. If Crates as a top class don’t fill up the stands and promoters can’t pay purses without having to cough up lungs and getting third mortgages on the track property, then they’re use as headliner is completely counterproductive.<br />
<br />
There are no answers that anybody can agree on when it comes to what to do. I keep waiting for one to magically appear and it eludes me and virtually anybody else who is starting to grow very concerned at the overall health of the sport. But one thing I am observing, is that this type of contraction isn’t happening in other divisions at anywhere near the rate that it is currently occurring in the Late Models. That’s the scary part. The beast has literally become so highly engineered, so sensitive to adjustments, so dependent on so many factors that didn’t seem to matter years ago, that in it’s complexity of mechanics, it has seemingly gained the world, but lost it’s soul. And in doing so, has left a good portion of everything that helped make it great, behind.<br />
<br />
Here’s hoping it gets better somehow, and soon. The National shows look so amazing these days, they’re well produced entertainment that’s at a level near stick and ball sports found on TV. That’s great. But without weekly shows at local tracks, how does one fall in love with the Late Model when parents can’t afford to drive six hours and buy tickets? Just throwing it out there.<br />

It was a surprisingly hot day in Queen Creek, Arizona on Friday, with temperatures well over 100 degrees, as we near October. Concern was high for track conditions, as that much heat combined with a steady breeze usually equates to dry/slick track conditions. Thankfully, promoter of Arizona Speedway, Jonah Trussel, knows how to prepare for a 100+ degree race day. The Track Crew went heavy with water and a tiller was used throughout the night to keep the track from taking rubber and to keep moisture in the surface.</div>

The track was lightening quick in Qualifying, as Logan Seavey took time late in the session, but flexed his muscle with a 15.150 opening lap of his run! Interestingly, Seavey was the only driver who qualified in the top-10 who's first lap was quicker. Drivers were surprised with how much speed the track picked-up from Hot Laps to Qualifying. It became obvious that it was a balance between hooking the cushion perfectly and keeping your front tires on the ground.<br />

<u>Friday Heat Races</u></h3>

The track surface remained extremely fast and narrow leading-up to heat racing action. Heat 1 was led flag-to-flag by South Central, Arizona's "The Real American" Matt Rossi and there was limited passing throughout the 10-lap race. Logan Seavey started and finished 6th after setting Quick Time earlier in the evening. Heat 2 saw considerably more passing, as "The Demon" Damion Gardner charged from 6th to pass Tye Mihocko late and claim the win! Tye led over half of the race and enjoyed a large lead over Gardner, but Faria Jr slowed and brought-out a caution late, allowing Damion to slip-by Mihocko on the ensuing restart. Brody Roa made a couple of passes, moving from 5th to finish 3rd. Heat 3 saw Tommy Malcolm lead all 10 laps en-route to victory! RJ Johnson charged from 6th to finish 2nd and likely only needed a few more laps to get by Malcolm.<br />

The Arizona Speedway Track Crew decided to do work on the surface, just as the feature was rolling onto the track. All cars and teams were asked to sit in the infield for approximately 20 minutes while Jonah watered the outside of the track and tilled the bottom of the surface, in both corners. After what seemed like an eternity, they were ordered to the track and given several hot pace laps to work the surface in. As is customary at every USAC event, the field a 4-wide salute to the fans!</div>

Jake Swanson fired-off from the pole position and sped around the outside of Arizona Speedway, stretching his lead over Logan Williams. Unfortunately for Logan, his chances of winning left on lap 5 when he tangled with a spun lapped car, while running 2nd. The ensuring restart saw RJ Johnson make a huge run on the bottom, charging from outside the top-5 into 2nd place by halfway. Brody Roa and Damion Gardner were fixtures within the top-5 and they weren't leaving anytime soon. Logan Seavey and Charles Davis Jr were waging a heck of a battle for 5th when the next caution came out on lap 16, due to a lapped car slowing on the track.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The lap 16 caution proved to have an impact on the outcome, as Seavey pulled into the pits and relinquished the 5th place spot, ending his night early. RJ Johnson had an average restart and it was clear that the bottom line was no longer as dominant for him, as Roa and Gardner slipped past him on the outside, sending him back to 4th position. Jake Swanson never looked back, and cruised to lead all 30 laps! This was Jakes first USAC/CRA win of 2018 and 2nd career Hall of Fame Classic victory. Roa closed on Swanson in the late laps, as the leaders hit lapped traffic, but Brody just didn't quite have enough to make a move on Jake. Gardner rimmed the outside perfectly and easily finished 3rd while RJ Johnson held his own and finished 4th. Charles Davis Jr did a masterful job of holding-off Mike Martin (8th place), Austin Williams (6th) and Danny Faria Jr (7th) to claim his first top-5 of the weekend!</div>

It was another scorching day at Arizona Speedway, with temperatures over 100+ degrees and a steady wind. Jonah and the Track Crew were hard at work again, when I arrived, applying plenty of moisture to the surface in preparation for the Hall of Fame Classic finale! Anticipation was high, as most Dirt racing fans know that a track surface generally gets better on the second night of a 2-day show. Saturday's racing action would not disappoint!<br />

For the second consecutive night, the Arizona Speedway track surface was extremely fast for Qualifying. Talking with drivers after their runs, the surface was a little more narrow than it was on Friday, resulting in slightly slower times. "The Demon" Damion Gardner set Quick Time on Saturday, ripping a 15.439 lap around the small, high-banked 3/8ths mile oval! With the preferred groove being narrow, drivers were tasked with nailing their line perfectly on their Qualifying lap. One slip or mis-pointed tire would result in a slow lap.<br />

For the second consecutive night, Heat Races were completed without major incident. The groove had widened considerably as well, offering plenty of passing and side-by-side racing action! Also for the second night in-a-row, Damion Gardner put on a show in his Heat Race, charging from 6th to win by nearly 1 second over early leader, Danny Faria Jr. Tommy Malcolm did his best impression of "The Demon" in Heat Race 2, as he also cruised to his second Heat Race win in as many nights, leading all 10 laps from the pole starting position! Logan Seavey charged from 6th to finish runner-up to Malcom, in the second Heat Race. Brody Roa was noticeably upset with his 15th place Qualifying effort earlier in the night, but he took advantage of starting on the pole for Heat Race 3 and cruised to the victory, leading all 10 laps!</div>

<u>Saturday Main Event</u></h3>
<div>
<u><br /></u></div>
<div>
Much like Friday night, the Arizona Speedway Track Crew had all USAC/CRA competitors roll into the infield while they worked the surface, prior to the 30-lap feature. Jonah applied plenty of moisture on the outside while tilling both the bottom and top lines. Once cars were pushed onto the track, they were given a few hot laps to pack the recently-worked surface. Hearing the roar of the engines and knowing that 21 of the best Sprint Car drivers in the Southwest were prepared to do battle for 30 laps, is enough to get anyone's adrenaline pumping. It's moments like these where you can feel the electricity in the air and you hear increased noise from the crowd, as anticipation intensifies!</div>

Arizona's RJ Johnson fired-off from the outside pole position on Saturday, enjoying leads by as much as a full straightaway! However, there were several cautions within the first half of the race, which allowed fast cars to gain track position on Johnson. It was the caution on lap 9 that changed the complexion of the race, as Damion Gardner and Logan Seavey would start directly behind Johnson on the restart. In fact, Seavey had just successfully ran the bottom line to perfection, prior to the caution, charging from 6th and passed Gardner for 2nd! Unfortunately for Seavey, the caution was ill-timed and he was forced to restart in 3rd place, behind Johnson and Gardner, with 21 laps to go.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
RJ Johnson continued to display his experience on the Arizona Speedway track surface, running the outside cushion with what appeared to be relative ease. However, it wasn't long before Gardner and Seavey worked their way by RJ, as his car began to fade just passed the halfway mark of the race. Prior to passing Johnson, "The Demon" made one of the best saves that I have ever seen in a Sprint Car. RJ passed the lapped car of Austin Ervine on the outside entering turn 1, while Gardner had still been pressing the bottom line, especially on corner-entrance. It appeared that Damion went to make a huge slide job on the entrance of turn 1, but he and Ervine made contact, causing Gardner to bicycle with both of his left-side tires off of the ground. Somehow, "The Demon" was able to wrangle his car back under control and he resumed his chasing of RJ, ultimately passing him a few laps later.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After trading a few epic slide jobs with Johnson, Logan Seavey remained in hot pursuit of Gardner for the remainder of the feature, closing within a few car lengths of him. However, to no one's surprise, the 6-time USAC/CRA Champion did not bobble in the closing laps and "The Demon" cruised to his 5th win of 2018! Brody Roa put on a hell of a show on Saturday night, as he charged from 14th to finish 3rd, just behind Gardner and Seavey. Roa actually slipped by Seavey with a couple laps to go and seemed to be closing-in on Gardner, but lapped traffic allowed Seavey to claim the runner-up spot. After leading over half of the race, RJ Johnson settled for his second 4th place finish of the weekend while Friday night's big winner, Jake Swanson, rounded-out the top-5!</div>

Well, it's been some time since we've come up with a brand new Round Table segment, and to be honest we wish we were congregating under a different set of circumstances in a way. In this edition, we say farewell to an amazingly talented driver who was pure class both on and off the track and who's recent passing still devastates us all. Rest in peace Greg Hodnett....<br />
<br />
We've also accumulated some other topics as well, it's been a strange year and it's coming to a close and we're going to lay down some food for thought on safety in Sprint Car racing and punishment and crimes with Robert Ballou and Tony Stewart. We also give a nod to drivers to watch out for in 2019 and suprises and disappointments on the national tours in 2018 plus, we make some picks you can take to Vegas for the upcoming Super DIRT Week festivities. (Please......for the love of god, don't take our picks to Vegas and hold us accountable!!)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Cast and Crew:</b><br />
<br />
Joining us this go round are our very own Aaron "The Human Sand Angel" Clay, Kyle "The Coach" Symons, Josh "Read it or get eye Herpes" Bayko, Todd "Try This Beer" Nunes and making his debut with us in this edition is Jamie Weaknecht, inventor of the world famous "Wago Juice" which will be available at Oswego all week long. On the questions, it's "Screamin" Gary Heeman.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>I'm pretty sure every single one of us was devastated to hear the news of Greg Hodnett's passing in a tragic at BAPS Motor Speedway last week. His character and passion for the sport will be very much missed and creates a hole that almost no one can fill the same way. We all send our thoughts and prayers at this time for his wife Sherry and entire family. Share with us, your favorite memory of Greg, whether it was a moment you saw him in person, or what his loss means to you and the sport.</i></b><br />
<br />
<b>Aaron Clay</b> - My memories of Greg Hodnett are few and far between, being from the West Coast. However, having attended the Knoxville Nationals, I was fortunate to watch him race in-person. Losing him and Jason Johnson this year, is extremely impactful on the sport. I hope their deaths open the door for additional safety in Sprint Car racing.<br />
<br />
<b>Kyle Symons </b>- I grew up watching Greg Hodnett win races. I've kept great records of the races I've attended since 2001, and I watched Hodnett win more races than anyone else I saw races in that time frame. I garnered a great respect for how ability as a race car driver, but from all accounts he was an even better human being. My favorite memory of him will always be watching him win the 2009 National Open at Williams Grove. The place goes nuts every time a Pennsylvania driver picks up a World of Outlaws win there and that night was no different. Hodnett was every bit as successful of a Pennsylvania transplant as Doug Wolfgang was in the 80's. He will be dearly missed.<br />

<b>Todd Nunes</b> – I have to agree with Kyle, watching him win the 2009 National
Open was pretty awesome. It was the first time I had been to the Grove, and the
atmosphere was absolutely electric. Good Hod was a gentleman on and off the
track, and one hell of a talent. I'm gonna miss hearing Bruce Ellis calling his name.<br />
<br />
<b>Jamie Weaknecht </b>- Greg was just an incredibly nice guy, not even touching on the fact that he was an outstanding driver. I got to know him a bit through driving for Mike Heffner as my father and Mike are longtime friends. Whenever we'd stop by the shop Greg was always overly nice and was just a fun person he be around. He always had time for fans and despite being one of the best always remained down to earth and humble. When I was growing up, the weekly battles between he, Lance Dewease, and Fred Rahmer were epic. We lost an absolutely fantastic person.<br />
<br />
<b>Josh Bayko</b> - I've never been much of a sprint car fan, but of the few times I've been to big sprint races, Greg was always one of the guys I kept my eye on when he was in attendance. Losing him only cements the reasons I've grown from generally not caring about open wheel cars to outright disliking them. <br />

<i><b>Information will be coming in on the causes of the incident and it's far too early to determine what has happened to cause the tragedy. Safety issues in Sprint Car racing always seem to come to the top of the priority of many after tragedies like this. We've seen some tracks and series take some initiatives, such as at Lernerville with the extra barrier of water barrels last Saturday night. What's the next step in making it safer while realizing that there will always be risk?</b></i><br />
<br />
<b>Aaron Clay</b> - Times like this are always difficult, it's not easy to say what the "next step" is to make the sport safer. With that being said, I think it's time to make the chassis bigger, around the driver. We need more strength and more room, surrounding the driver. We already know that the chassis might flex/break under heavy impact, lets give the driver more room in the event that it were to happen.<br />
<br />
<b>Kyle Symons</b> - The cars are safer than they've ever been so honestly I think the answer is to put up gates to close these openings while racing is going on. I would rather see a yellow come out for a driver not being able to get off the track under green flag conditions then I would see a red come out for a crash that ultimately costs a driver his life.<br />

<b>Todd Nunes</b> – Track safety needs to be looked at. Cars have been continually
improved upon, but so has speed. Most of our tracks were built 40 or more years
ago and configurations have not endured much change since. Wall openings in dangerous
places, fences set back several feet from the wall; allowing cars to
potentially get atop the fence, tractor tires, etc, have all been named as
potentially dangerous to drivers. There are differing opinions all over the
place on how to rectify issues. Some tracks have implemented “safer” walls,
some sort of foam in or around the walls. Others have tires or water barrels
protecting the walls, exposed edges, etc. Money isn’t exactly plentiful for
track owners, but safety has to move up on the spending list. Something, as we
have learned, is better than nothing, but not all remedies are equal. The
answer is likely a mix of track improvement strategies.<br />
<br />
<b>Jamie Weaknecht</b> - Track safety definitely needs to improve, that's a given. Off the top of my head I can think of an alarming amount of safety concerns at just my local tracks, but I think there's still room for improvement on the car side of it, too. The cars have gotten safer, sure, but other than the wing in the case of a rollover, there's just not enough to absorb the energy of an impact in a sprint car. You look at every any other form of racing, and at the point of impact the cars have a whole lot of metal or fiberglass to absorb that force. In a sprint car, there's just not that luxury.<br />
<br />
<b>Josh Bayko -</b> Track safety improves a bit every year, sometimes it's not even noticeable, but in the 35 cumulative years I've been going to races, it's come a long, long way. One can go to just about every track and find some issues that could be dangerous, but in most cases, come back the next year and much of what you saw will generally be addressed. Especially in the case of a tragedy, you'll see lots of track owners and promoters attempting to rectify their safety issues. It's truly a shame that it always seems to take a tragedy to get people's asses in gear, but racing has generally always been reactive, and as long as changes are made, I guess the deaths aren't for naught. <br />

<b><i>Well, Robert Ballou and Tony Stewart gave us something to watch popcorn with on Twitter this week as Ballou took a shot regarding the surface at Eldora last weekend in the annual Four Crown Nationals. Stewart replied, in typical Tony Stewart fashion and afterwards, Ballou found himself suspended for the remainder of the USAC season. Firstly, did the punishment fit the crimes? And secondly, should drivers have to avoid any comment that could be construed as negative towards any track that their series race on?</i></b><br />
<br />
<b>Aaron Clay</b> - First, let me say that I am a Robert Ballou fan. I like how outspoken he is. How he is willing to tell you exactly what is on his mind. His ability as a Sprint Car driver. With that being said, he took it too far. No one says that you have to appreciate the track surface every night, but you don't need to mention it on Social Media. If you happen to dislike the track conditions, I think the driver should have a word with the track crew and officials, if necessary. The most they should post on Social Media is that they "didn't like the track conditions, but they spoke to officials about it". Ballou has rightfully been suspended in my mind, it's like bad-talking the company you work for and expecting them to be okay with it.<br />
<br />
<b>Kyle Symons </b>- Robert Ballou has a right to have an opinion, even if he comes off as whiny. Which is exactly what he does every time he spouts off at the mouth about a race track. I watched the highlights from Eldora this past weekend and the racing surface was impeccable both nights. Keep up the great work Tony. There are many of us race fans who appreciate the great things you've done for Eldora, one of the meccas of our sport.<br />

<b>Todd Nunes</b> – Ballou and Stewart have both been known speak their minds in
the spotlight. Unfortunately there is a time and place to voice your opinion,
and Ballou chose the wrong one. I believe he has been warned in the past by
USAC to keep his IMO’s off the interwebs, and they stuck to their rules as they
should. The tweet-off was quite entertaining, and it was good to see other
drivers chime in with their take on the Eldora surface. I’ve personally seen
USAC on Eldora with a foot tall curb and as much bite as you can grab. Sure the
speed is cool, but the action is much better and safer with the current Eldora
trend of wide, slick and racy.<br />
<br />
<b>Jamie Weaknecht </b>- Do I like Robert Ballou's constant social media whining? No. Do I think he should be suspended? Absolutely not. Everyone claims they want drivers with personality, but then when someone with personality says something we don't agree with he gets suspended for it. I honestly find the whole act of going to complain on social media as ridiculous and childish; but I think it's even more ridiculous to suspend someone over it.<br />

<b><i>We're wrapping up 2018 in the next few weeks and getting ready to turn our eyes to the off season soon. Give me one driver in either a Sprint, Super Late Model, or Modified that you find most intriguing in 2019, a driver that may be on the verge of great things that people aren't really talking too much about, and where do you think they'll end up racing and for whom?</i></b><br />
<br />
<b>Aaron Clay</b> - Hudson O'Neal was already on-pace for a great 2018 season, before injury struck. I think 2019 will be even more successful for him, with many big wins, while competing for a Championship. You can tell he is a young man with no limit on how much success that he could see and it's really cool to watch him and his Dad race together on the Lucas Tour.<br />
<br />
<b>Kyle Symons</b> - He's getting talked about some since he's leading the All Stars points, but I'm going to go with Aaron Reutzel. He's on the verge of breaking out as a real star in sprint car racing, and I look for him to pick up some major victories next season.<br />

<b>Todd Nunes</b> – We have a several “young guns” coming up thru the sprint car
ranks, Parker Price-Miller being one with a ton of potential. I personally
watched him come thru the field a couple times this year, overcoming bad
starting positions and finishing top 5 against Speedweek and ASCOC talent.
Looking around the pits, you can often find him soaking up knowledge of drivers
with more years of experience than Parker’s age. This points to a bright future for him.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Jamie Weaknecht</b> - I'm going to go a little off-the-wall here. Jack Lehner is a big-block driver that most guys probably never heard of. He's a 20-year big-block rookie with a 19-year old crew chief that ran very well in weekly action at Albany-Saratoga Speedway this year. It's usually just the 2 of them on race nights, but they run clean and are competitive against one of the strongest weekly fields in modified racing. Lehner's been impressive in select Super DIRTcar Series starts, and has announced he plans on chasing the entire tour next year. He's definitely going to get his first modified win in 2019, and in a few years time will be a household name in the dirt modified world.<br />
<br />
Josh Bayko - I'll go with Tyler Erb. His career arc since his jump into national touring has been nothing short of staggering. He's maturing every race and it's rewarding him with much more consistent finishes. If he returns to the tour again next year, I'd look for him to have at least one win, and probably much closer to five. <br />
<br />
<b><i>National tours are winding up and championship trophies are ready to be handed out. In looking at the season standings in any Sprint, Late Model, or Big Block Modified or EMod/USMTS tour, give me one driver whose season finish was surprisingly good and one that you expected to be better.</i></b><br />
<br />
<b>Kyle Symons</b> - I'll go back to Aaron Reutzel on this one. It looks like he may end up winning the All Star championship in his first season with the Baughman Reutzel Motorsports team, and I never expected that. One I expected to be better would be Brandon Sheppard. He may still win the WoO championship this season, but some bad luck has put both Mike Marlar and Chris Madden in front of him heading into the final four events. I thought Sheppard would have had a huge points lead by now.<br />

<b>Todd Nunes</b> – We all know Davenport – Rumley is a rare and talented combo,
but there were many questions at the beginning of this season. In a tour as
stacked as the Lucas Oil tour is with Bloomer, Richards, Owens, Pierce, etc, JD
has been a consistent front runner. Staying on the same tour, T-Mac has been
sub-par this season. Unfortunately the 39 team has really struggled after finishing
second in 2017 points. <br />
<br />
<b>Jamie Weaknecht </b>- Carson Macedo, I expected him to collect a few wins and be a top-5 points car on the All Star tour, but didn't expect 5 wins and for him to be in championship contention with just a few shows remaining. Reutzel and Macedo could be really fun to watch for a long time coming. As for disappointment; Billy Decker. He went from nearly winning the Super DIRTcar Series championship to struggling bad enough that he and the Mike Payne Racing team decided to fall off as a full-time tour follower. He had 9 wins a year ago, and now heading into October he's still searching for his first modified win this year. Hopefully he turns it around in time for the Outlaw 200 and Super DIRT Week, two events he's had a ton of success in the past.<br />
<br />
<b>Josh Bayko </b>- I think the driver being slept on the most is Earl Pearson Jr. Most people wrote him off after the last couple years, and this year has been right back to super consistent EPJ we all know and love. The driver I expected to be better is Bobby Pierce. The hype was very real with his move to Dunn Benson Motorsports going into the season, after the crazy success he had in his family ride. His year has seen a few highs, but way more lows, and in all honesty, it's been pretty underwhelming. <br />

<b><i>It's Super DIRT Week Time. So far we've seen one year at Oswego that gave us cars that jumped five feet in the air on a surface that was nearly undriveable, and a year that gave us one of the best finishes in Super DIRT Week history. If year three gives us a show that provides the racing that took place last year, can we call Oswego home on a permanent basis and just drop the premise that Central New York Raceway Park (which probably never gets built), should be given the event? And also, give us a 200 feature winner and why you think so!</i></b><br />
<br />
<b>Kyle Symons</b> - I think Oswego is a good place for the event after Syracuse was torn down. The facilities can match the event and the racing was much improved last season. I'll go with Matt Sheppard to win because why wouldn't you. The guy seems to win every race there is to win when it comes to the Super DIRT Series.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Todd Nunes</b> – Oswego has gotten a good handle on the whole
dirt thing. Props to them and the SDS community for sticking with them. As for
who do I like in the 200? I gotta go with Erick Rudolph. Hes had a consistent
season, and has won just about everywhere in the past few seasons. Look for him
at the front of the pack. </div>
<b>
</b><br />
<b>Jamie Weaknecht</b> - My bread and butter! Super DIRT Week is an event built around history and traditions, which matches perfectly with Oswego Speedway. Had last year's Super DIRT Week turned out like the first with horrible track conditions, we may already talking about a different facility housing the event. Luckily, last year was a huge hit, and DIRTcar is reaping the benefits from that. Ticket sales are up 8% over last year (which was already a packed house) and the car counts are going to see a dramatic increase as well. For the first time in as long as I can remember, the big-block portion of Super DIRT Week looks like they'll likely outdraw the Freedom 76er, Outlaw 200, and Short Track Super Nationals. My only concern about the future at Oswego is if it makes financial sense to host the event there once the state funding assistance runs out. If the momentum continues, that shouldn't be a problem. As for a pick to win? Friesen and Sheppard are the obvious choices, but I'm going with Tim Fuller. He's 4-for-4 in September and with his win at Fonda can start no worse than 12th in Sunday's 200.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Josh Bayko</b> - If the surface can be consistently decent, Oswego should be the place, mostly because there is no other track in New York that could even come close to handling an event the size of SDW. And let's be serious, CNYRP is never being be built. As far as the winner? I'll go with Tim Fuller. He's very good in extra distance races.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This week saw just five scoring races, but all five were higher points paying specials. The two races at Mckean County were both scored on the seven point scale, as were the two shows at Thunder Mountain. Bedford ran two nights, but only had one scoring show, and that one was scored on the ten point scale, because it paid a cool fifteen thousand to win, making it the third biggest race in the sate this year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thing is, with all those points scored, thete wasn;t a whole lot of movement within the top ten, because many of those points were scored by drivers outside of the top ten. </div>

This weekend coming up sees the second biggest race of the year in Pennsylvania, the Pittsburgher 100 at PPMS. The last couple versions have been fantastic races, and if you're looking for a last race to hit this year, it comes highly recommended. All of the Lucas regulars, about half of the WoO regulars, and assorted other traveling hotshoes come into town and take on Norris, Ferree, Miley and the rest of the always tough Pittsburgh area locals. </div>

<h2>
<u>2018 Hall of Fame Classic Preview</u></h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The USAC/CRA is a 410 Sprint Car Series that races in the Southwestern United States, primarily in California. The non-wing warriors visit Arizona for the second of three times in 2018 and this weekend marks their first trip to Arizona Speedway on their own, without being accompanied by the USAC National Sprint Car Series. This weekend's races mark the 17th and 18th events of the year and will leave 6 races remaining on the 2018 schedule, when the checkered flag falls on Saturday night. The Series will return to Arizona Speedway during the first weekend of November as part of The Western World, which is ran in conjunction with the USAC National Sprint Car Series.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As we mentioned, the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series will be making their first trip to Arizona Speedway on their own, without being accompanied by the USAC National Sprint Car Series. This means the series regulars will certainly have a chance to battle for the win, along with some of Arizona's best!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Arizona Speedway is small, high-banked 3/8ths mile track located in Queen Creek, Arizona, near San Tan Valley. What once started as a small track with no walls and only hosted local racing series, this facility has blossomed into one of the best in Arizona! Not only hosting the 2018 Hall of Fame Classic, Arizona Speedway also hosts the Wild West Shootout, the Western World and the Copper Classic.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The size and surface at Arizona Speedway provide drivers with options, while also not requiring the biggest wallet or best engine builder. A typical night at Arizona Speedway sees the fast line right near the wall, when the surface is wet and right near the bottom, when dry and taking rubber. Overall, I expect the 2018 Hall of Fame Classic to be a spectacular event at one of the best facilities in Arizona!</div>

<u>The Event</u></h3>
<div>
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The 2018 Hall of Fame Classic features two nights of racing, where the USAC/CRA 410 Sprint Car Series will be joined by the local San Tan Ford Sprint Car Series, along with Arizona Winged Mini Sprints. While 2018 marks the first time the Hall of Fame Classic has been held at Arizona Speedway, this event has a very rich history within the Grand Canyon State.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Hall of Fame Classic is not only an exceptional racing event, it also pays tribute many great race drivers in Arizona, as they are honored after being selected to enter into the Arizona Motorsports Hall of Fame. This event combines the thrills of watching 410 Sprint Car racing while also paying tribute to some of the sports racing legends within Arizona and the Southwestern United States!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Hall of Fame Classic began as a SCRA event in 2000 at the famed Manzanita half-mile, in Phoenix. Since then, it has continued annually for nearly every year, taking only a few years off in 2008-2010, after Manzanita closed a new venue was sought. Canyon Speedway hosted the Hall of Fame Classic from 2011-2017 and the race was initially ran in conjunction with the USAC National Sprint Car Series, where the late Bryan Clauson was dominant. More recently, the event was ran as a USAC/CRA event until last year, when the USAC Southwest Sprint Car Series was invited to shine in the spotlight. "The Demon" Damion Gardner and Phoenix's RJ Johnson join Clauson as other drivers who have won the Hall of Fame Classic more than once, during its existence!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Brody Roa has been nothing short of spectacular during the 2018 USAC/CRA season, as he enters the Hall of Fame Classic as the series points leader, with 1,145 points. The 2018 California Sprint Week Champion has 3 wins on the year, to go along with 14 top-5 finishes and 15 top-10's, in 16 races. His consistent finishes equate to a staggering 3.4 average finish, entering this weekend's action. While Brody hasn't enjoyed much success at Arizona Speedway (he finished 12th & 6th in both nights of the Western World last fall), he'll look to change all of that during the Hall of Fame Classic, this weekend!</div>

Damion Gardner is already one of the most prolific and successful drivers in USAC/CRA history. "The Demon" enters the 2018 Hall of Fame Classic as a 6-time Series Champion and sits tied with legendary racer, Lealand McSpadden, on the career all-time wins list! While Gardner has enjoyed 4 wins in 2018, he has not been quite as consistent as Roa, with only 11 top-5 finishes and 13 top-10 finishes entering this weekend's action. Damion's 5.8 average finishing position ranks 2nd to Brody and he will enter the 2018 Hall of Fame Classic 2nd in the standings, trailing Roa by 44 points. Gardner will look to etch his name into the record books one more time this weekend, as he looks to become the first driver with 3+ career Hall of Fame Classic victories!</div>

Son of legendary West Coast racer, Rip Williams, Austin leads the trio of Williams brothers amongst the USAC/CRA point standings.

<div style="text-align: left;">
I certainly wouldn't be going out on a limb much by picking Damion Gardner, but it's impossible to ignore his sheer dominance and consistency. Even if "The Demon" doesn't crack victory lane this weekend, you know that he'll be among the top-3 and contending for wins each night!</div>

<br />
Hunter Exley is a 19 year old graduate of the go cart ranks. The son of Heather and Danny Exley, Hunter wants to follow in his dads footsteps. Danny Exley was a successful multi-time track champion at Sharon Speedway and TriCity Speedway. When the younger Exley got bit by the race bug he started a budding Go-Kart career in the area and found success. He'd often helped and pitched in on his father's car and got to learn a lot about Open Stocks. And, once the Go Karts were no longer feeding his appetite, the decision was made to have Hunter strap into the car and have his dad tune and coach his son as he took on the tough transition from carts to open stocks. <br />

<br />
It was an awesome lesson as a father's unselfish act to help further his sons racing career. <br />
On this day, September 15, 2018, the ultra competitive Homak Penn Ohio Street Stock Series was at Lernerville Speedway to take on the local contingent in a $1,000 to win, 25 lap race that drew 47 cars. Exley had only raced at the track one time before in his old car last season. This season Hunter strapped into a Slider Chassis built by Franklin Pa’s Bobby Whitling, the 2017 Penn-Ohio Pro Stock Champion. Hunter has primarily raced at Sharon and Tri City Speedway’s because they are close to home, however the Exley family made the decision to get out a little more and compete at some different track while supporting Shawn Hook’s Penn Ohio Series. With any change for a young racer the learning curve can be steep and sometimes frustrating.<br />
<br />
Hunter was set to roll off ninth in a loaded heat with multiple proven and veteranrivers on a new track unfamiliar to young Hunter. He held his own and late in the heat race found himself a little more comfortable the more laps he logged as he came home seventh on a wide open, tacky track which made passing somewhat difficult.<br />
<br />
The crew lead by Hunter's father went to work to make the changes needed to get the young driver more comfortable. For young drivers, communication is a huge key and being able to tell the crew what the car is doing and what they are feeling in the car is a key part to success. Being the set up guy on the very sharp 23Hjr, Danny Exley focused his attention on the right front of the car after talking to Hunter and the team got the car ready for the B-Main. <br />
<br />
Following the race, Hunter missed transferring to the main event as there were only two spots available. Hunter wound up seventh in a race as stacked as his heat race had been, and again made huge strides in the performance of the race car.<br />
<br />
It was clear to see the determination and frustration on the Exley's face after the racing was over. Sometimes things don’t go a driver's way, but the key to overcoming these frustrations is a great support system and to keep that drive and hunger to want to improve. It helps drive that competitive hunger. And that hunger is clearly in Exley. The support of an awesome family and crew that are all close friends certainly propels Hunter to success. <br />
<br />
The final on track action for the team was the Non-Qualifier race with the team starting ninth and ending up fifth. It was a good night on the whole, as the team got to put the car in the trailer in one piece and the most important lesson of the night was the over coming bad pill draws and starting positions and the communication between Hunter and his dad. Exley is very appreciative of his father's dedication to helping his career. “If it wasn’t for my dad I wouldn’t be able to do this," Exley said after all was said and done for the night.<br />
<br />
To get to see the dynamic the crew and family have is refreshing. With drivers like Hunter Exley and the passion and energy that both he and his team bring, this sport is in good hands. <br />

<br />
Hey there race fans, it's Monday so it's time for the weekly update to these rankings.<br />
<br />
This week only saw three shows, two unsanctioned specials at Eriez Saturday and Sunday night, and a World Of Outlaws late model show at Selinsgrove Saturday night. The Eriez shows were originally supposed to be Friday/Saturday, but rain on Friday pushed em back to Saturday/Sunday.<br />
<br />
I made a mistake in last week's rankings when I scored Raceway 7. I totally forgot the track is actually in Ohio, so it shouldn't have been scored. I have adjusted the rankings accordingly, and I apologize to anybody who may have been confused by it.<br />
<br />
This coming weekend sees only 5 points scoring shows, but all off them will be raised purse specials. Thunder Mountain has a two day show, with complete programs each night paying 4k to win on Friday, and 7k to win on Saturday. McKean County Speedway is also running both Friday and Saturday, paying 2500 and 4k to win. Bedford also has a two day show on Friday and Saturday, but only Saturday has a feature. Winning that feature will net a cool 15 thousand, though. It's the third highest paying race in the state this year.<br />
<br />
That said, let's go ahead and get to those rankings.<br />
<br />
<b>1. Jeff Rine (9), 123 points. </b>Jeff ran fifth at Sleinsgrove Saurday.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Max Blair (8), 97 points. </b>Max finished third both nights at Eriez.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Dylan Yoder (4). 91 points. </b><br />
<br />
<b>4. Jared Miley (5), 69 points. </b><br />
<br />
<b>4. Jon Lee (5), 69 points. </b><br />
<br />
<b>6 Michael Norris (10), 66 points. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>7. Coleby Fyre (5), 58 points. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>8. Andy Haus (2), 55 points. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>9. Michael Maresca (3), 52 points. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>9. Mike Marlar (1), 52 points. </b>Mike came home third at Selinsgrove Saturday.<br />
<br /><b></b>
<br /><b></b>
And that's our top ten for this week. Check back next weekend after this coming week's action t see where your favorites end up. With the amount of points that will be scored this week, there could be some pretty wild swings next week!<br /><b></b><br />
<b> </b><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Fall arrived at Lernerville Speedway on Saturday night as crisp temperatures greeted a huge crowd on hand for the Commonwealth Clash. And those, combined with a lack of sunshine and recent rains helped produce a fast, racy surface much to the delight of those in attendance. Those same fans were also treated to an action packed main event that saw four different leaders, intense battles in lapped traffic and a late race restart with less than a handful of laps remaining to throw some late race drama into the mix. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Brad Sweet had a fast car all night it's driver picked the perfect time to make it go just a little faster when it mattered most on Saturday night at The Action track. Sweet moved forward from his fifth starting spot, reeling in and passing one driver ahead of him at a time including World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Cars points leader Donny Schatz en route to his first career victory at Lernerville Speedway.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“I struggled for the first few years of my career at this track, it’s nice to come here and be as fast we’ve been this year," Sweet said in victory lane following his eighth win of the season. The track was great, there were so many options of where to go in lapped traffic. You could rimride on that thin ledge or get going around the bottom,”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Daryn Pittman brought the field to the green flag in a main event that took a few tries to get rolling as early cautions involving Brent Marks, Justin Henderson, and Shane Stewart all brought out yellow flags in the first three laps. However, once momentum was established in the 35 lap main event, it set a stage for a classic showdown between Pittman, Tim Shaffer, Donny Schatz and Sweet as the four drivers battled for positions for the next thirty laps. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Pittman assumed early control of the field and held the lead early on, holding off front row mate Shaffer on the early restarts. The Aliquippa, PA native would his way around the leader with six laps in the books on a slide job in the first set of turns. Meanwhile, Schatz and Sweet were swapping the third spot at will just behind the leaders. With Shaffer in lapped traffic, Schatz and Sweet began to close in with every lap while managing to find a way around Pittman. Schatz was able to pull the string on a pass for the lead on lap 22 as he slid Shaffer in turn one for the spot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“If you’re off a little bit, it’s a ton on the track,” Shaffer said. “I couldn’t run the middle or top, and those guys could run the middle. They have their cars balanced very well, and that’s what we’re working towards going.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">With Schatz aiming for yet another tour win and with the lead in the second half of the race, the stage seemed set for him to claim another Commonwealth Clash title. However, Sweet started to find a bit more speed than Schatz as the laps clicked of in the final third of the main event and managed to pull to Schatz's tail tank on lap 26 and wasted no time in making his way around on lap 28.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Once out front, Sweet faced one more restart following a caution with 32 laps down, and left no doubt about whom had the fastest car on this night as he drove away from the field and towards Terry Bowser Excavating Victory Lane. Shaffer would round out the podium while Logan Schuchart completed a strong performance with a fourth place finish. Hard charger honors went to Danny Dietrich who managed to climb from his 14th starting spot to a sixth place finish.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“I didn’t have much grip and I’m not going to use Brad up or run myself off the track," Schatz said "Luckily, I have these guys behind me and we’ll have more grip next time we come back.” </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In Allegheny Sprint Tour action, Robbie Bartchy led the 20 lap main event early on, holding off strong challenges from Roger Irvine and Tyler Denochik only to succumb to a pass by Jeff Miller on lap 14. Miller looked to have the top spot locked up as he managed to stretch a sizable lead over Bartchy until he jumped the cushion with 18 laps down. Due to time constraints, officials made the decision to checker the main event at that point, giving the win to Bartchy.</span><br />

<br />
Hrey there race fans, It's Tuesday, and I'm gonna update these rankings. I know, I know, I'm supposed to update em every Monday, but yesterday I went to the eye doctor to get an exam and had my eyes dilated. That made it really uncomfortable to look at a monitor, and I figured I'd delay it a day instead of just throwing together a quickly thrown together and poorly spelled mess of a column. <br />
<br />
So as we're now into the post season specials and such, there wasn't really an abundance of races going on this weekend. The only scoring shows were a regular show at Thunder Mountain Friday night, a 5k super late special at Raceway 7 Saturday, a 3k special coupled with a makeup feature at Hummingbird Saturday, and the 3k Kahuna at Roaring Knob Saturday. As always, I couldn't find any full results for the Knob, so if any of ya'll find them out, please let me know so I can reflect them in these rankings. I'm mostly looking for who finished fourth and fifth.<br />
<br />
Weather did not affect any of the shows, which was pretty refreshing and quite rare this season. Sadly, the weather for this coming weekend looks pretty pretty blah at this point. There isn't really a whole lot scheduled anyways, so it wouldn't affect to many races, but the one race that really matters is a WoO Late Model Series race scheduled at Selinsgrove Saturday. That series has been affected by rain just as bad as our area has, and with a tight points race coming down the stretch, it would absolutely suck to see 'em lose another show and the points that go along with it.<br />
<br />
But I digress, you really read this writeup to find out how the tip ten did this weekend, so let's go ahead and get to those rankings.<br />
<br />
<b>1. Jeff Rine (9), 117 points. </b><br />
<br />
<b>2. Dylan Yoder (4), 91 points. </b><br />
<br />
<b>3. Max Blair (8), 86 points. </b><br />
<br />
<b>4. Jared Miley (5), 74 points. </b>Jared ran third at Raceway 7 Saturday.<br />
<b> </b><br />
<b>5. Jon Lee (5), 69 points. </b>Jon had a second in the main feature and and a third in the makeup at Hummingbird Saturday.<br />
<br />
<b>6. Michael Norris (10), 66 points. </b><br />
<br />
<b>7. Coleby Frye (5), 58 points. </b><br />
<br />
<b>8. Michael Maresca (3), 56 points. </b>Michael took the win at Thunder Mountain Friday, and got fourth Saturday at Raceway 7.<br />
<br />
<b>9. Andy Haus (2), 55 points. </b><br />
<br />
<b>10. Chris Farrell (5), 50 points. </b>Chris came home third in the main feature and got second in the makeup at Hummingbird Saturday.<br />
<br />
And that's our top ten for this week. I should have next week's update up by Monday next week, barring any extenuating circumstances.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The post season parade of special events picked back up again on Saturday night with the running of the annual Autumn-Motive Fest, beneath a canopy of sunny skies and warm temperatures. Andrew Gordon put the field behind him early and never looked back in the Homak Penn-Ohio Pro Stock main event, earning a win which helped him pull even closer in the standings to series points leader Chris Schneider.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Meanwhile, Corey McPherson picked up right where he left off, turning in another dominant performance in taking home the trophy in the Millerstown Pic-A-Part DIRTcar/RUSH Pro Stocks, and in Allegheny Sprint Tour action, Steve Kenawell Jr. picked the perfect time to make his move as he managed his first career victory at Lernerville. In other action, Tyler Dietz and John Hartman each took the wins in the two final features of the night.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Gordon Tops Penn-Ohio Stocks</span></i></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In a caution marred 25-lap main event, Andrew Gordon found a way to stay out of trouble, and stay as fast as he needed to be en route to his fourth series win of the season. Joey Zambotti jumped out to the early lead but was unable to get too comfortable with it as three early cautions halted his momentum. Meanwhile, Gordon kept moving forward with authority from his eighth starting spot on each accompanying restart. Joining them up front were Bobby Whitling, Tim Bish and Bill Hurrelbrink.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">With five laps in the books, Zambotti spun in front of the field in turn four as Hurrelbrink inherited the lead. It would be a short lived one for Hurrelbrink as just one lap later, Rusty Martz and 2017 race winner Corey McPherson made contact in turn four to bring out yet another yellow flag. When action resumed, Gordon rocketed to the lead and looked to be in firm command of the field. Meanwhile, Chris Schneider had been making progress towards the front of the field after starting 11th on the grid, passing Bish for the second spot with nine laps down. Schneider was able to apply pressure to Gordon while working on the bottom groove of the surface.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Gordon put his restart skills to good use on three more occasions down the stretch, including a critical restart with three laps remaining following a red flag period as Zambotti and Alan Dellinger. Gordon got a remarkable jump and was virtually uncontested the rest of the way while Ryan Moyer found some speed at the top of the speedway and made his way past Hurrelbrink for the third spot, finishing the race as the highest finishing crate motor entry.</span><br />

<i><b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">McPherson Turns In Classic Performance</span></b></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In the Millerstown Pic-A-Part Pro Stock main event, track champion Corey McPherson got out to the early lead, passing a fast running John Hartman at the lap four mark. Meanwhile, Tyler Dietz, who had penalized earlier in the race and sent to the tail of the field, managed to make his way to third place by lap seven. However, neither Dietz nor a stout looking Noah Brunell could manage to shave McPherson's considerable lead he had accumulated, working feverishly on the top side of the speedway.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">McPherson found himself in lapped traffic with six laps to go, but never lost any portion his lead in the waning laps of the race while Dietz made a strong effort to take the second spot away from Brunell on the last set of turns which came up short. Ryan Moyer and Joe Kelley rounded out the top five.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Jonathan Jones started on the pole of the 20 lap Allegheny Sprint Tour main event alongside Steve Kenawell Jr. and they stayed up front for the entire race. Behind them, Ron Aurand, Roger Irvine and Greg Doborsky looked to make their presence known as they honed in on the leaders. Irvine slowed with four laps in the books and retired for the evening.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When action resumed, Jones and Kenawell set themselves apart from the rest of the field with Jones pounding the topside of the speedway and Kenawell running the bottom. The two were separated by less than a second for the majority of the main event until Kenawell found the perfect opportunity to make a bid for the lead with Jones in lapped traffic on lap 16. Kenawell dipped below the leader and emerged with the lead just past the flag stand and three more circuits remaining. He would hold on for the win while Ron Aurand rounded out the podium. </span><br />

<br />
Hey there race fans, it's a very soggy Monday here in Pennsylvania, and that means it's time for this update to the ranking that I keep.<br />
<br />
I mention soggy, because the remnants tropical storm Gordon of have been hitting us hard here all weekend, and continue to hit us hard. I actually worry for the DTWC, held at Portsmouth Raceway Park, dude to flooding. If you've never been there, let me explain a bit. The track itself sits in a low lying area a stones throw away from the Ohio river, and tends to get completely flooded when the river swells. Ohio is already soggy from the storm heading through there late last week. Now the same storm is causing the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers to swell to flood stage levels. Those two rivers feed the Ohio, which is already on the high side. PRP is going to flood. I don't expect it to still be flooded out when it comes time to run the DTWC, but they're going to have one hell of a cleanup on their hands.<br />
<br />
Okay, now that you know the weather situation, let me explain what it meant for racing in our area over this past scoring week. Just two tracks got their shows in, Thunder Mountain, and Port Royal, who both ran on Friday night, so this update has a fair amount of drivers who did not score.<br />
<br />
So here's the rankings.<br />
<br />
<b>1. Jeff Rine (9), 117 points. </b>Jeff won at Port Royal.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Dylan Yoder (4), 91 points. </b>Dylan ran second at Port Royal<br />
<br />
<b>3. Max Blair (8), 86 points. </b><br />
<br />
<b>4. Jared Miley (5), 69 points. </b>Jared came home second at Thunder Mountain.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Michael Norris (10), 66 points. </b><br />
<br />
<b>6. Coleby Frye (5), 58 points. </b><br />
<br />
<b>7. Jon Lee (5), 56 points. </b>Jon got a third at Thunder Moutain.<br />
<br />
<b>8. Andy Haus (2), 55 points. </b>Andy finished third at Port Royal.<br />
<br />
<b>9. Bryan Bernheisel (4), 47 points. </b><br />
<br />
<b>9. Mike Maresca (2), 47 points. </b><br />
<br />
And that's the top ten for this week. Check back next Monday to see where your favorites land.<br />
<b> </b><br />
And on a serious note, the them iof this week's writeup is weather, and we're in the season not so affectionately called hurricane season. There's a monster of a hurricane headed straight for the southeast.

Tyler Bare, winner of the Butch Renninger Memorial at Port Royal Speedway the previous night and Michael Lake lead the stout 24 car field of Zimmers ULMS Super Late Models to the green for the 8th annual Connor Bobik Memorial, a race that has yet to see a repeat winner in it's history thus far. Mike Maresca starting from his 2nd row starting spot, looked to throw his hat into contention early on with a slider going into turn three. He emerged with the second spot challenging Lake and Bare but on the next lap Maresca got loose and spun in front of the rest of the field.<br />
<br />
Luckily he escaped any damage, went to the pits and returned to tag the field, and was able to make his way back through, earning a top 10 finish on the night. Early on, two drivers found themselves using the same strategy in getting to the front quick as Alex Ferree and Kyle Hardy both made forward charges from their 12th and seventh starting spots respectively. The pair challenged Bare for the race lead early on in the action. On lap 11 Hardy took the lead from Bare and Ferree found himself in the second spot<br />
<br />
On each of the 6 restarts after cautions, Bare And Ferree put on a show for the very large crowd in attendance as Hardy was still hammering around the racy surface while keeping an oncoming Ferree at bay.<br />

<br />
On a lap 31 restart Bare found himself the owner of a flat right rear which ended his night as he pulled the car to the trailer. The final restart came with five laps to go which allowed Ferree one more shot at Hardy and with two laps to go a noticeable popping was coming from the leader's car. Ferree was able to close in but it was not enough as Hardy was too strong as he picked up his second win of the <b><i>year.</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
Second place Ferree offered an upbeat attitude after the race “At least we have speed in the car and it’s working we just need some luck.” <br />
<br />
<br />
"Winning a race in the name of a kid means toand what this the family is pretty cool," Hardy said after the checkered flag waved. "It's crazy."<br />

Sportsmanship is alive and well in the sport of Dirt Track Racing as witnessed by a selfless action from another competitor recently.<br />
<br />
Friday's Penn Ohio Pro Stock Series race and TDNs featured drive Bobby Whitling of Seneca Pa gave us harsh reminder of how unpredictable this sport can be. Whitling is the owner of 92 career wins in three different classes and is also the owner and proprietor of Slider Chassis out of Seneca Pa. So not only can he drive these complicated race cars, he builds them. Also he is a huge supporter of The Penn Ohio Street Stock Series. The very humble Whitling is often soft spoken and always gets the most out of his equipment not he track. On this night the series was in night one of a weekend double header and huge points implications were on the line. Going into the weekend Whitling sat 2nd begins points leader Andrew Gordon. Whitling was to roll off 7th in the third heat race. One lap into the scheduled 8 lap race Whitling slowed scoring off turn 4 and pulled the 7w into the infield.<br />

Video Interview #1- <a href="https://www.facebook.com/john.mcconnell.399488/videos/919732474879138/">John McConnell with Bobby Whitling</a><br />
<br />
During an interview after the heats were completed, Whitling's motor broke a cam and his night was over.<br />
<br />
Then the most unlikely of circumstances happened. Fellow competitor Jesse Brock of Stoneboro Pa offered up his 22b for the veteran Whitling to use for the remainder of the night. Brock is not a consistent follower of the Penn Ohio Series and one unique aspect was involved. Whitling built the 22b owned by Brock. He cleared the car change with Series officials and was able to tag the back of the b main to try and race his way into the feature. It was learned that Whitling was the high point man that wasn’t qualified for the feature so he was gaurenteed a starting spot for the main. So being the competitor he is he tried to race his way into the main event missing by one spot. <br />
<br />
<br />
Video Interview #2- <a href="https://www.facebook.com/john.mcconnell.399488/videos/919802091538843/">John McConnell with Bobby Whitling</a><br />
<br />
Upon a pre main interview it was learned about the provisional for the high point guy Whitling and crew set out and made some changes to the new mount they were using for the feature. Whitling was headed to the starting grid starting 25th and had all intentions of just feeling out the situation and seeing how the race was going. When the green dropped almost immediately the next decision for Whitling was made by himself. On lap one of the feature the yellow waved for a car that spun directly in front of Whitling almost causing a multi car incedent. Whitling pulled the 22b of Brocks to the pit area.<br />
<br />
Video Interview #3 <a href="https://www.facebook.com/john.mcconnell.399488/videos/919757301543322/">John McConnell with Bobby Whitling</a><br />
<br />
Following the main it was learned that Whitling simply didn’t want to tare up the sharp looking loaner car of Brock'ss and settled for a 25th place finish while thinking of his own mount that was in need of much needed attention with the motor issue. Sportsmanship plays a huge role in this sport we all love And on this night I got to witness two forms of it. Case in pint. The unselfish act of a fellow competitor willing to lend his mount for the betterment of another driver and in the latter the unselfish way that Whitling took care of someone else’s mount not wanting to risk someone else’s ride. As long as drivers like Bobby Whitling and Jesse Brock are in the sport I feel the sport will prosper. Thank you both for the lesson of sportsmanship. <br />
<br />
The Penn Ohio Street Stock race was won by Chris Schneider propelling him to the pints lead after the Raceway 7 event.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that the grandaddy of all dirt late model races is coming up this weekend, the 48th running of the World 100 at Eldora Speedway. What we're going to do here is give you the skinny on the event and offer a couple predictions at the end. It'll be in our standard five Ws form.<br />
<br />
<b>Who? </b>As of this writing, 88 of the very best dirt late model drivers in the country. That number is sure to go up by the time cars hit the track Thursday night, as the pre-entry list is still missing some names you typically see at the big ones at Eldora.<br />
<br />
<b>What? </b>Three nights of racing action. Thursday and Friday night's programs mirror each other, and will see time trials, after which the field will be split into an odd and an even group, based on where the drivers time, and each grop will run a full program with heats, consis and a feature. Saturday will see heats based off the results from the two prelim nights, consis, a couple non qualifiers features, and the main event, the World 100, paying a cool 51 thousand to win, but more importantly, the coveted Globe statue.<br />
<br />
<b>Where? </b>Tony Stewart's famed Eldora Speedway, located in Rossburg, Ohio. directions can be found <a href="http://www.eldoraspeedway.com/visitor-info/directions/" target="_blank">here.</a><br />
<br />
<b>When? </b>Racing for the weekend starts Thursday night at 8:00 PM sharp, and runs Through Saturday night, barring weather issues. A full schedule for the weekend's action can be found <a href="http://www.eldoraspeedway.com/event/48th-world-100/" target="_blank">here.</a><br />
<br />
<b>Why? </b>Because late models are freaking awesome.<br />
<br />
<b>How? </b>If you're looking to participate, it's probably be a good idea to get there sometime Thursday morning so you can get your car through tech and prepared for the night's racing action.<br />
<br />
If you're looking to attend as a fan, tickets can still be had for the event via the internet <a href="https://eldoraspeedway.ticketforce.com/" target="_blank">here.</a> Tickets will assuredly be available the day of the show at the gate, but the options might not be there, as the show generally sells out.<br />
<br />
If you'd like to see the show, but can't get off work or can't afford to go, don't fret, the event will be broadcast on iPPV from our friends at <a href="https://www.dirtondirt.com/liveOrder.php?id=87" target="_blank">DirtonDirt.com.</a><br />
<br />
Now that you've got the skinny on the event, here's some predictions for the weekend.<br />
<br />
<b>Who will win?</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><a href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/speedsport-news/speedsport-news/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/05073406/jonathandavenport.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="800" height="266" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/speedsport-news/speedsport-news/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/05073406/jonathandavenport.jpg" width="400" /></a></b></div>
<b> </b> <b> </b><br />
Jonathan Davenport. Yes, I know, he's been in a bit of a slump recently, but he's the defending champ of the race. I can't bet against him until somebody beats him.<br />
<br />
<b>Who won't win?</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://photos.smugmug.com/2017-Galleries/Lernerville-Speedway-WoO-Late-Models-Firecracker-100-6242017/i-bpgNMvp/3/1d408a26/X3/IMG_5216-X3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="561" data-original-width="800" height="280" src="https://photos.smugmug.com/2017-Galleries/Lernerville-Speedway-WoO-Late-Models-Firecracker-100-6242017/i-bpgNMvp/3/1d408a26/X3/IMG_5216-X3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<b> </b> <br />
Brandon Sheepard. Yes, I know, he's got more wins in national touring series races this season than anybody elsse, and has turned many laps at Eldora Speedway over the course of his career, but seriously, that Rocket house car is seriously cursed at Eldora for some reason. Maybe this is the year it finally breaks that curse and wins, but I wouldn't count on it.<br />
<br />
<b>Who could shock the World?</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://kentrobinsonracing.com/images/photos/2018/25.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="534" data-original-width="800" height="266" src="https://kentrobinsonracing.com/images/photos/2018/25.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<b> </b> <br />
Kent Robinson. He's been very good at Eldora this year, amnd is currently third in point standings at the track. I see no reason why he couldn't put together a great night on Saturday and come hom 51k richer. World be an amazing story if he did pull it off. <br />
<br />
And that's our World 100 preview. I hope we were helpful. <br />

<br />
Hey there race fans, it's time for the update for these rankings I keep for TDN. Yes, I know, I said I'd update them on Monday last week, but after some contemplation, I realized that if I posted them on Labor Day, they'd probably get lost in the shuffle because I'm sure many of you were at a BBQ or doing some stuff with your family. I figured it'd be best if I held them off until today when you're getting back to regular everyday life.<br />
<br />
This weekend saw a slate of pretty much all raised purse specials, with the only regular show being Thunder Mountain's show on Friday. Other shows this weekend were ULMS shows at Port Royal (Saturday) and Dog Hollow (Sunday), an Ultimate Northeast show at Eriez Sunday, and an unsanctioned 3k special at Selinsgrove Sunday. Bedford did lose a 5k show they had scheduled on Friday to rain, unfortunately. <br />
<br />
So a fair amount of points were scored this week. There were still a handful of drivers in our top ten that did not score, so like always, they just won't have weekend results listed. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>1. Jeff Rine (8), 112 points. </b>Jeff ran third at Port Royal Saturday, and got a fifth Sunday at Selinsgrove. <br />
<br />
<b>2. Dylan Yoder (4), 87 points. </b><br />
<br />
<b>3. Max Blair (8), 86 points. </b>Max came home fourth at Dog Hollow Sunday.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Michael Norris (10), 66 points. </b><br />
<br />
<b>5. Jared Miley (5), 65 points. </b><br />
<br />
<b>6. Coleby Frye (5), 58 points. </b>Coleby picked up the win at Selinsgrove Sunday.<br />
<br />
<b>7. Jon Lee (5), 53 points. </b><br />
<br />
<b>8. And Haus (2), 52 points. </b>Andy came home third at Selinsgrove Saturday.<br />
<br />
<b>9. Bryan Bernheisel (4), 47 points. </b><br />
<br />
<b>9. Michael Maresca ( 2), 47 points. </b><br />
<br />
And that's the first ten names on the spreadsheet this week. Check back next Monday to see where they shake out after this coming weekend's action.<br />
<br />
