Kent Robinson Clinches 2017 Eldora Speedway Championship

Bloomington, Indiana (10/09/17) – Kent Robinson added another prestigious accolade to his accomplishment list over the weekend.

The pilot of the Billy Moyer Victory Race Car #7r JB’s Disposal Services/ Jay Dickens Racing Engine Super Late Model clinched the 2017 Eldora Speedway Track Championship after a strong performance in the Fall Nationals.

“This is truly something special to win this championship,” Robinson proclaimed. “To win a Super Late Model championship at a place that is so prestigious and has so much history means a lot to our team. At the beginning of the year, we circled this as a goal, and to see it come to fruition is very fulfilling. I just want to thank my family, my team, my sponsors, and all of my fans for their awesome support.

K-Rob traveled to the famed Eldora Speedway (Rossburg, Ohio) on Saturday to take part in the annual Allstar Performance DIRTcar Fall Nationals, which was sanctioned by the Sunoco Race Fuels American Late Model Series (ALMS). While the event was slated to only be a one-day affair, Mother Nature had other ideas.

Kent started the event by registering the fastest time of the 23 entries in qualifying on Saturday evening, and then backed it up with a heat-race win from the fourth-starting position. His preliminary performance positioned Robinson third on the starting grid for the 40-lap $5,000-to-win finale.

Early in the feature he worked his way up to the second position, but on lap 16 rain would begin to drench the ½-mile oval, forcing the final 24 laps to be postponed until Sunday afternoon.

When the race resumed Robinson challenged Van Wormer for the lead near the race’s midway point before ultimately slipping back to a third-place finish behind Van Wormer and Bobby Pierce. Jon Henry and Jacob Hawkins completed the Top 5.

Full results from the event can be found at www.EldoraSpeedway.com .

Kent currently has a single event remaining on the 2017 docket. He will make the trip to Florence Speedway (Union, Kentucky) on Saturday, October 28 for $5,000-to-win, Fall Nationals.

Kyle Beard Grabs All Star Modified Cash at Greenville

Trumann, Arkansas (10/09/17) – The 2017 season has not been very kind to Kyle Beard, but over the weekend he enjoyed nice redemption during the 11th annual Gumbo Nationals.

Not only did he pass 13 cars to finish in the Top-5 in the MSCCS Super Late Model feature, but he also piloted his Shawn Mann Motorsports #86 Gary Beard Trucking/ GRT/ Kuntz & Co. Racing Engine Modified to the $1,500 win in the All Star Modified Series feature.

“It just seems like this has been one of those years where anything that can go wrong has,” Beard said. “A few weeks ago we didn’t even know if we wanted to keep racing, but my family and my team are just too stubborn to give up that easy. The weekend in the Late Model started slowly, but ended really well. Then in the Modified we had an awesome car all weekend and were able to get the win.”

The team traveled to Greenville Speedway (Greenville, Mississippi) on Friday to pull double duty with both the Mississippi State Championship Challenge Series (MSCCS) Super Late Models and the All Star Modified Series during the 11th annual Gumbo Nationals.

MSCCS Super Late Model action found 35 entries on hand to contend for the $10,000 top prize. While heat race action on Friday night left Beard just short of transferring to the feature, a B-Main win on Saturday evening transferred him to the feature in the 17th-starting spot.

During the course of the 75 lapper, he advanced 13 spots to finish fourth in his Gary Beard Trucking #86 Black Diamond Super Late Model behind Brian Rickman, Tyler Erb, and Dane Dacus.

Preliminary action in his #86 Modified transferred Kyle to the 20-lap feature. Starting seventh on the grid for the caution-filled finale, Beard kept his nose clean and progressively worked his way to the lead. Once out front he cruised to the $1,500 triumph. The victory was his fourth of the season.

The upcoming weekend will see Kyle returning to action with the All Star Modified Series as he makes the extremely short trip to Old Rte. 1 Speedway (Harrisburg, Arkansas) on Saturday night to chase the $1,500 top prize in the Rollin The Dice 30.

Swindell Heads into Short Track Nationals With Momentum Following Win in Colorado

Inside Line Promotions - CALHAN, Colo. (Oct. 9, 2017) - Sammy Swindell dominated the Colorado ASCS Fall Nationals last Saturday at El Paso County Raceway, which made his long trip to Colorado and the long weekend worthwhile.

"We were there for the Friday night show and they got a shower around 4 p.m. or something like that," he said. "That one was pretty brief, but we had another one around 5 p.m. and it rained really hard and hailed. That messed it up for the race track so they had to cancel the first night."

Swindell and car owner A.G. Rains returned to the bullring on Saturday for the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour weekend finale. Swindell was scheduled to start toward the back of a heat race, but a driver on the front row elected to go to the back so it moved Swindell into the second row.

"We were the quickest one in the practice," he said. "We ended up second in the heat and that put us in the redraw. I was fortunate to draw the No. 1. That always makes your life easier."

Swindell's charge in a heat race locked him into the feature redraw, in which he scored the pole position for the 25-lap A Main.

"We were trying to keep up with the race track," he said. "We were almost at 9,100 feet. We had a pretty good direction on our fuel. At that altitude the cars are down well over 100 horsepower. That was something we don't deal with all the time so we had to make some adjustments. We kept making little changes throughout the night and it kept getting better.

"We took right off in the feature and drove away. Then I got held up by some guys in traffic. There were some cars running quite a bit slower. I got held up for about four laps and it let the second-place car catch up. We were able to get through the traffic and pull out a lead. Then we had a yellow with about eight laps to go. I was able to stretch it out after the restart. The traffic the last few laps went my way and we got through it easy. It made it a pretty simple weekend for us."

The victory was Swindell's sixth of the season and his third with the ASCS National Tour.

He is slated to compete this Wednesday through Saturday at I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Ark., for the 30th annual COMP Cams Short Track Nationals presented by Hoosier Tires with the ASCS Mid-South Region.

"Everything is going real well," he said. "We've made little changes through the last few weeks and keep getting stronger. I feel we'll be one of the cars to beat over there. You have to get those breaks and you can't get in trouble. As long as we don't have those obstacles, I feel we have a very good chance at repeating what we did last year."

Swindell won both his qualifying night and the finale last season to record his fourth career Short Track Nationals title, which is tied for the most by any driver.

QUICK RESULTS -

Oct. 7 - El Paso County Raceway in Calhan, Colo. - Heat race: 2 (4); Feature: 1 (1).

SEASON STATS -

39 races, 6 wins, 14 top fives, 23 top 10s, 25 top 15s, 29 top 20s
