Matt Cosner Scores $4,000 Winner’s Check in Gary Martz Memorial
Action Resumes August 12-13 with ULMS Doubleheader

RIDGELEY, W.Va. (08/02/22) – Matt Cosner collected the $4,000 winner’s check on Friday night at Pennsylvania’s Bedford Speedway in his Global Truck Outfitters No. 66c Nelson Auto Sales/ R.H. Lapp Mechanical Contractors/ Rocket Chassis/ Cornett Racing Engine Super Late Model.

Matt’s second win of the year came in the Gary Martz Memorial.

“The redraw put us on the front row for the feature, and we were able to capitalize on the opportunity. The car was on point for the feature, and I did my job and we got our second win of the year with a lot of family, friends, and sponsors around, so it made it extra special,” Cosner said. “On Saturday we hit the ground running early in the night and set fast time and won our heat. Unfortunately, we just weren’t very good in the feature and slid back to seventh.

“We’re taking this week off but next week we look forward to returning to action with the ULMS at Path Valley (Speedway) and Hagerstown (Speedway).”

Friday night found Matt Cosner in action at Bedford Speedway (Bedford, Pa.) piloting his Global Truck Outfitters No. 66c Late Model for the Gary Martz Memorial.

Starting on the pole for the feature via a third-place performance in his heat race, Cosner won by more than a four-second margin to capture his second win of the season and a $4,000 prize.

He took the checkers ahead of Jeff Rine, Kyle Hardy, Kyle Lee, and Bryan Bernheisel.

For the Living Legends Dream Race on Saturday at Port Royal (Pa.) Speedway, Matt secured set fast time in qualifications before securing his spot into the $5,000-to-win A-Main with a heat race victory. Battling the handle in the feature, Cosner slid back to a seventh-place finish in the 30-lapper.

Dale McDowell Wins $10,053 in Schaeffer’s Southern Nationals Finale
40th Annual North-South 100 Next on the Schedule

MOORESBURG, Tenn. (08/02/22) – Dale McDowell pocketed $10,053 for his sixth win of the year, which came on Saturday night at Tazewell Speedway.

McDowell topped the 2022 Schaeffer’s Southern Nationals finale behind the wheel of his Shane McDowell Racing/ E-Z-GO No. 17m Cometic Gaskets/ Klotz Synthetic Lubricants / Team Zero Race Cars/ Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model.

The Dirt Late Model Hall of Famer took control of the lead late in the race, after the leader tangled with a lapped car.

“If it’s half as exciting for (spectators) as it is in the car, you guys are golden,” McDowell said in Victory Lane. “I felt like (Dakotah Knuckles) had a good short-run car and I hated to see that happen to him. The lapped traffic is … it sucks to lead these things, you know, because you don’t know where to go. I was able to kinda maneuver, and obviously if you’re running second, you have an advantage because you can go where they’re not.

“We’re headed back to the shop to get ready to go after our first North/South 100 title at Florence (Speedway) next week. I can’t say enough about this team, and everyone who supports it. I’m just blessed to get to drive this car.”

With team’s scheduled event for Friday evening at Boyd’s Speedway (Ringgold, Ga.) falling to Mother Nature, Dale McDowell returned to competition with the Schaeffer’s Southern Nationals on Saturday afternoon for the tour finale at Tazewell Speedway (Tazewell, Tenn.).

With 26 Late Models on the grounds for the Ray Varner Ford 53, Dale qualified fourth-fastest overall before placing second in his heat race.

Starting the feature in fourth, McDowell took possession of the lead with 13 laps remaining, when leader Dakotah Knuckles tangled with a lapped car, and turned back Mack McCarter late to secure his sixth win of the season and 10th-career series triumph.

He earned a $10,053 payday ahead of McCarter, Ricky Weiss, David Payne, and Forrest Trent.

Full results from the event are available at www.SouthernNationalsSeries.com .

Shane McDowell Racing will take the upcoming weekend off to prepare for next week’s 40th annual Sunoco North-South 100 at Florence Speedway (Union, Ky.). Twin $5,000-to-win features will be held on both Thursday and Friday with Saturday’s program paying a record-setting $75,000 to win.

The three-day mega event is once again sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series.

“We shuffled our weekend plans a bit because of the weather forecast. As a result, we landed at 81 Speedway again, and we got our second win there in as many weeks,” Mullens shared. “It was a nice tune-up for this Thursday’s USMTS event there, and hopefully we can make it three-for-three there when the checkered flag drops. We’re getting into the latter stages of the USMTS season, and we’ve got some ground to make up in the standings. I know we have the team to do it, so we’re ready to give it our best shot this weekend.”

Saturday saw Tanner Mullens return to 81 Speedway (Park City, Kan.) for another Weekly Racing Series Event.

After mounting a sixth-to-second charge in his heat race, Mullens outran second-place finisher Darron Fuqua by nearly a four-second margin in the feature to claim his second-straight win and sixth of the 2022 campaign. Tyler Davis, Lance Mari, and Randal Schiffelbein Jr. completed the Top-5 finishers.

Full results from the event are available www.81Speedway.com .

Tanner Mullens now has his sights set on a tripleheader with the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS), which spans this Thursday – Saturday. The action kicks into gear on Thursday night at 81 Speedway, where Tanner will be going for his third win in as many weeks at the oval. On Friday evening the USMTS contingent will invade Humboldt (Kan.) Speedway before wrapping things up on Saturday evening at Lucas Oil Speedway (Wheatland, Mo.).

Mullens currently sits second in the latest series standings.
