Logan Roberson Rolls to Fourth Straight Win
Pockets $6,200 in Weekend Doubleheader

WAYNESBORO, Va. (09/30/20) – Not once, but twice Logan Roberson parked his Wynbridge Inc. No. 17 RBS Auto Sales/ BTS Towing Service/ Rocket Chassis Crate Late Model in Victory Lane over the weekend.

A $5,000 triumph at Richmond (Ky.) Raceway Saturday highlighted the weekend and marked Logan’s fourth consecutive trip to the winner’s circle.

“To say this weekend was a success would be an understatement! We were able to bring home two quick time awards, two heat race wins, and two feature wins,” said Roberson. “I can’t thank all who support us enough and keep this train rolling!”

With Mother Nature altering his original plans at Boyd’s Speedway (Ringgold, Ga.), Logan Roberson headed to the Bluegrass State on Friday evening to make his first start of the season at Rockcastle Speedway in Mount Vernon, Ky.

After topping the 24-car field in time trials, Roberson made a late-race move on the high-side in the feature to secure his fifth overall win of on the season. He earned a $1,200 payday for his efforts.

On Saturday afternoon at Richmond Raceway for the Fastrak Racing Series-sanctioned “Damn Yankees 50,” Logan followed up the fastest lap overall in a field of 28 cars with a heat race win.

Leading wire-to-wire in the feature, Roberson cruised to his fourth straight win of the season over Todd Coffman, Matt Long, Derek Fisher, and Trevor Sise. Tallying his third career Fastrak Racing Series triumph, Logan pocketed a $5,000 prize.

"When we got to a couple laps to go, my dad started signaling me that he was on me and them lapped cars, oh my god, they didn't know where they was going and I was stuck in a pickle and I heard him on the outside and he was beating the wall down," Roberson said of a hard-charging Todd Coffman. "My dad was just telling me to take up the whole racetrack and hopefully it would pay off for us and luckily enough, I'm blessed enough and it held off and we got lucky."

This Saturday, October 3 Logan will look to continue his recent hot streak by chasing another $5,000 payday when the American Crate All-Star Series invades Mountain Motorsports Park in Isom, Ky.

Brandon Overton Notches 20th Victory of 2020
Claims Michael Head Jr. Memorial at Senoia

EVANS, Ga. (09/30/20) – Brandon Overton’s banner season continued Saturday night when he claimed a $4,054 Southern All-Star Racing Series victory at Senoia (Ga.) Raceway.

Overton’s 20th overall victory of the season came aboard his Wells Motorsports No. 76 Crossfit Overton/ Allstar Concrete/ Longhorn Chassis by Wells/ Clements Racing Engine-powered Super Late Model.

In a field of 30 entries, Overton secured his spot into the main event with the fastest lap in his time trial group.

“I saw the trophy online earlier in the week. I told my guys we were going to Senoia Raceway to win that trophy," Overton said of the replica pedal car. “We had to figure out where we could put the car and try and stay ahead of Joseph. He gave us one chance and I had to go.”

For another $10,000-to-win feature on Saturday night, Drake came in sixth in his heat, giving him one final shot at the A-Main with a B-Main appearance. Locking in the Top-3, Troutman suffered a broken water pump that brought an immediate end to his evening.

Price Eyes Short Track Nationals Success Following Eighth-Place Finish During Fall Nationals

Inside Line Promotions - WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. (Sept. 30, 2020) - Robbie Price scored an eighth-place result Sunday night during the Fall Nationals at Riverside International Speedway.

The top-10 outing was his 10th of the season and served as a confidence booster following a tough previous weekend for the Cobble Hill, B.C., native.

"It was my first-ever visit to Riverside and it was a big eye opener for me," he said. "The track was really slick and that's not something I'm used to at all. We learned a lot and a top 10 was a breath of fresh air after some struggles."

Rain postponed Saturday's racing activities until Sunday and Price began the night by finishing seventh in a heat race. As a result, he earned the 13th starting spot in the A Main. At the completion of the 30-lap race he passed five cars to finish eighth.

"I needed to get to the bottom earlier in the heat race and I kind of buried us early in the heat," he said. "We were not really too bad in the feature, but we really weren't all that good either. It was a little out of my comfort zone, so it was a good thing to learn and get seat time on a track like that."

Price is set for two nights of racing this Friday and Saturday during the 33rd annual COMP Cams Short Track Nationals presented by Hoosier Tires hosted by I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Ark. The Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour event pays $10,041 to win the finale.

Price has visited the track twice this season with a best finish of 25 th coming in June. With the 2020 racing season winding down, Price is hoping the positive momentum earned in Arkansas will lead to a solid effort against an expected large field of drivers.

"I'll be the first one to admit that I-30 has never been kind to me and I have always struggled at the place," he said. "But I'm not the kind of guy who gives up and we're going to come back and try to put something together to have a good run.

"I always seem to be good in hot laps and when the track changes I struggle. That tells me it is the driver and not the car. Hopefully, we can take what we've learned and maybe this weekend will be the one where we shake the bad luck. I'm looking forward to trying again."

QUICK RESULTS -

Sept. 27 - Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Ark. - Heat race: 7 (4); Feature: 8 (13).

SEASON STATS -

32 races, 1 win, 4 top fives, 10 top 10s, 12 top 15s, 15 top 20s

Jesse Lowe Returns to Mountain View Raceway Victory Lane
Ponderosa and Mountain Motorsports Park Next

CROSSVILLE, Tenn. (09/30/20) – Jesse Lowe visited Mountain View Raceway Victory Lane for the second straight week Saturday.

This week’s triumph came aboard the Kaylor and Scottie Hogan-owned No. 15H Taylor Sheet Metal/ Snap-on/ Andy Dill Trucking Late Model Sportsman.

“I want to give a big thanks to Kaylor and Scottie Hogan for the opportunity to drive their car,” said Lowe. “I’ve had very few people ask me to drive for them, so driving for someone else in any division is special for me. I’m glad I could get them this win.”

Lowe laid down the second fastest lap in time trials behind Brandon Miller to lock into the feature. Miller grabbed the early led but would spin out in turn four shortly after. Inheriting the top spot, Lowe then pulled away from the field to pick up his 14th win of the season over Joe Bray, Dylan Morgan, Jed Emert, and Hayden Ownbey.

Jesse also entered the Topless Outlaws Dirt Late Model Series portion of the night. In a field of 20 cars, Lowe locked his spot into the $3,000-to-win A-Main with the eighth fastest lap in time trials.

After getting caught in a tangle on the opening lap, Lowe muscled his way from the back of the pack to a solid runner-up finish behind Jadon Frame. Kenny Collins, John Ownbey, and Austin Neely rounded out the Top-5.

Blake Hahn Trying For Short Track Nationals Hat Trick

Bryan Hulbert – LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (September 30, 2020) Since 1988, the COMP Cams Short Track Nationals presented by Hoosier Tires has seen five drivers pull off back-to-back wins.

Steve Kinser started the trend with the first two events. The Little Rock oval did not see another back-to-back winner until Gary Wright in 2003 and 2004. Tony Bruce, Jr. was next in 2008 and 2009, with Sammy Swindell earning his fourth and fifth overall Short Track Nationals' titles in 2016 and 2017.

Since 2018, the name on top as been Oklahoma's Blake Hahn.

Riding into the weekend with five wins on the season in both Sprint Car and Midget competition, Hahn has his sight set on making history as the first driver to pull off the Short Track Nationals three-peat.

"The goal is always to win, but a win this weekend would be big," stated Hahn. "To be on a list with Bruce, Kinser, Swindell, and Wright is already a huge accomplishment, especially at an event like Short Track, so to be the first to go three for three; I don't know if I can put into words what that would mean for me, much less this team."

Winning his last visit to "Hammer Hill" during ASCS Sprint Week competition by the narrowest of margins over Tim Crawley, the field of 54 was tough, but Hahn knows that Short Track is a much different story.

"The field we had during Sprint Week was some of the best you can race against, but when it comes to the Short Track Nationals, it's a different beast," explained Hahn.

"Everyone turns it up and lets loose and for good reason. To have a Short Track Nationals win on your list of accomplishments is career-defining, and everyone is on another level, so we're not looking at our last win as an indication of this weekend's outcome. We need to bring our absolute best and focus on making sure we're there at the end and not getting ourselves buried."

Sitting at 59 confirmed entries, with more on the way, the star-studded event takes place Friday, October 2, and Saturday, October 3, with a Thursday night Test and Tune preceding the event. Two-day tickets are on sale for $40. Tickets purchased the day of the race are $20 for Friday and $28 for Saturday.

Williamson Pumped to Make Short Track Nationals Debut This Weekend

Inside Line Promotions - COLUMBIA, Mo. (Sept. 30, 2020) - One year ago Garet Williamson was sitting on the sidelines during the prestigious Short Track Nationals.

The plan was for Williamson to take on some of the nation's best 360ci sprint car drivers in the event. That changed when the Bryant Paver Motorsports driver hurt an engine the week before and couldn't make the trip.

All systems are a go in 2020. Williamson is rested after a week off from racing and he is looking forward to facing the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour regulars as well as other invaders during the 33rd annual COMP Cams Short Track Nationals presented by Hoosier Tires this Friday and Saturday at I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Ark.

This is one of the biggest events on the season schedule for Williamson. Not only is the field stacked with 50-plus other drivers, Saturday's finale pays $10,041 to win.

"You just treat it like any other event," Williamson said. "It's Short Track Nationals, and obviously, everyone is there. Everyone is going to be watching. It's definitely a huge show, but it's not different than any of the other big shows we have run this year. You've just got to be ready to go."

It helps that Williamson has seen I-30 Speedway this season. In fact, he had a quick car at the racy facility against a star-studded ASCS field this summer.

Williamson started 12th and was running in the top five when the track rubbered up. He fell to sixth in the final rundown, but he earned some much-needed experience that he can take into this weekend.

"We ran decent there earlier this year so we have a little bit of confidence going into that place," he said. "It's a short track and I kind of like those places and seem to get around them pretty good. Hopefully, we can go back to what we know and what we did there at the beginning of the year and see how we roll around."

If past success wasn't enough, Williamson's speed as of late might be. He has been fast the last two months, recording wins and strong finishes against stiff competition.

"I think it helps a lot," said Williamson, who has three wins and 10 top-10 finishes this season. "We rolled around there pretty good at the beginning of the year and we've learned a lot since then. We are faster now than were then, and with that many cars, you've got to be on your game. Hopefully, we can be fast early in the night and get a good start for the feature."

Tony Jackson Jr. Dominates B-Mod Blowout at Central Missouri Speedway

LEBANON, Mo. (09/30/20) – Tony Jackson Jr. capitalized on a last-minute decision to race at Central Missouri Speedway in Warrensburg over the weekend, earning a $3,000 B-Modified victory.

Tony dominated the weekend’s events to claim the inaugural Big Bad B-Mod Blowout in the McCowan Racing No. 8 Ozark Motorsports Report/ Rick Lowry Taxidermy/ Wooderson Veterinary Clinic/ Rage Chassis B-Modified.

“We’d planned to be at Tri-City Speedway with the Late Model, but we weren’t able to get the parts to finish assembling the car, so we decided to go Mod racing instead,” Jackson commented. “Thanks to the McCowan family for letting us take their Mod. I had a lot of fun. Thanks to Mike Striegel and his team for loaning us anything and everything we needed but a way to the track. We loaded up in a new hauler and didn’t have time to pack many tools. This is why the racing family is so great, racers helping racers.”

With 32 B-Mods competing in three rounds of heat races, Jackson picked up a 10-lap victory in his first round before passing six cars in his second heat to finish fifth. Storming to a 10-lap win his final round, Tony locked into the pole dash. Outrunning Sturgis Streeter to pick up the $300 prize, Jackson locked into the pole position for the A-Main on Saturday.

After fellow front-row starter Streeter shot out to an early race lead, Jackson tracked him down by the seventh lap to assume command of the top spot. Holding off the field as he navigated through lapped-traffic, Tony sailed to his third win of the season over Cody Brill, Rick Beebe, Jacob Ebert, and Shadren Turner.
