Tyler Clem Tops Volusia Late Model Foes; BRP Next

St. Petersburg, Florida (05/03/17) – 14-year-old, Tyler Clem picked up his second Late Model win of 2017 on Saturday night in his Hedman Headers #14 Rent-N-Roll Rocket Chassis. The win came at Volusia Speedway Park and was his third overall victory of the season.

On Saturday evening Tyler Clem made the trip to Volusia Speedway Park (Barberville, Florida), competing in a field of 19 Medical Arts Labs Florida Late Models. Starting the night with an 8-lap heat race win, Clem secured his spot into the $1,000-to-win A-Main.

Bringing home his third win of the season and second of April, Tyler outran the field in the 25-lapper, topping the 2nd-place finisher Trever Taylor by more than one second. Lonnie Wagner, Adam Bennett, and Sonny Thompson completed the Top-5 at the checkered flag.

“Volusia hasn’t always been kind to me, as I’ve had some random bad luck there over the past few years, so it feels great to pick up a win there,” Tyler noted. “This car was fast all night, and that allowed me to pick up the comfortable win. Special thanks goes to my family, my team, my sponsors, and all of my fans.”

This Saturday the team will make the short trek to Bubba Raceway Park (Ocala, Florida) to compete in a $2,000-to-win Modified program. For more information on the event, please visit www.BubbaRacewayPark.com .

Dover Facing Weekend Doubleheader at I-80 and Park Jefferson

Inside Line Promotions - SPRINGFIELD, Neb. (May 2, 2017) - Jack Dover has been dominant at the two tracks he is invading this weekend.

Dover has earned a combined 16 wins since the start of the 2013 season at I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Neb., and at Park Jefferson International Speedway in Jefferson, S.D.

"Getting a win or two this weekend would be huge," he said. "The way our year has been I'd be happy with top fives. I think we'll be way better this week because we were trying some new shocks and I think that had to do with our performance this year. We went back to our shock package last year and we tore the car apart last week to make sure everything was how it's supposed to be and it's 100 percent now. Just having the confidence now I think we'll be 20 times better."

Dover is slated to tackle I-80 Speedway on Friday for the Bobby Parker Memorial with the Carpet Land Nebraska 360 Sprints. He has 11 wins, 17 podiums and 21 top fives in 29 races during 360ci winged sprint car competition at the track during the last four-plus seasons.

"That is one of our home tracks and we always look forward to racing there," he said. "We're very comfortable there and have seen the track in all different stages so we know what to expect."

He finished fourth in his most recent race at the high-banked track earlier this season.

Dover will then venture to Park Jefferson International Speedway on Saturday. He placed ninth at the oval last month, but has won five of his last eight races there.

"We didn't have as good of a finish the last time out, but I think that had something to do with fighting the shocks," he said. "I'm going into this weekend with more confidence and since I think we lined out our issues we should be a contender."

SEASON STATS -

4 races, 0 wins, 1 top five, 3 top 10s, 3 top 15s, 3 top 20s

UP NEXT -

Friday at I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Neb., for the Bobby Parker Memorial with the Carpet Land Nebraska 360 Sprints and Saturday at Park Jefferson International Speedway in Jefferson, S.D.

Hagar Nets Runner-Up Results Throughout Weekend in Tennessee

Inside Line Promotions - MARYVILLE, Tenn. (May 2, 2017) - Derek Hagar was consistent last weekend during the USCS Thunder in the Smokies doubleheader in Tennessee with the USCS Series.

Hagar placed second every time he was on the track during both nights of action.

"I was pretty consistent," he said. "There's nothing to hang our heads about. We didn't tear anything up or hurt a lot of tires. However, as a driver I'd like to be sitting on the front straightaway. We got flat out ran Friday and on Saturday we were put in a bad spot by the feature inversion."

The weekend began on Friday at I-75 Raceway in Sweetwater, where Hagar maneuvered from fourth to second place in a heat race. That lined him up on the inside of the second row for the main event.

"We fell back to fourth and ran there for three or four laps," he said. "We got to third on a restart and finally got up to second. I wasn't gaining on the leader. We had a restart and I heard someone zoom to the outside. There was some grip there that hasn't been there before. Morgan Turpen found something. I jumped up there after her, but it was too late. On a late restart I drove to second. We had a couple of cautions, but I couldn't get a good run on her."

Hagar's second-place finish was his sixth top five of the season.

The team ventured to Smoky Mountain Speedway on Saturday. Hagar advanced from third to second place in the dash before charging from ninth to second place in a heat race. That earned him the most points out of all the drivers, but the feature inversion was a six to start Hagar on the outside of the third row for the main event.

"We had one caution on Lap 1 and we were up to fourth at that point," he said. "We passed for third on the restart and raced second pretty hard for five or six laps. By the time I got into second Morgan was already gone. She had a straightaway on us. We needed a caution to bunch us back up. We had a lot of ground to catch up."

Hagar ended second for the second straight night. It marked his fifth consecutive top-five result.

He will return to action this Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo., where he will drive his winged sprint car during the ASCS Red River Region and ASCS Warrior Region action and his midget during the POWRi National Midget Series competition.
