After registering the 3rd-fastest time in a field of 31 entries in qualifying, Clanton stormed to a heat race win, positioning him on the front row for the 50-lap feature. Taking the lead at the drop of the green flag, Shane held off a late-race charge from Brandon Sheppard to pick up his fifth win of the season and a $10,000 payday. Sheppard, Eric Wells, Jonathan Davenport, and Chub Frank completed the Top 5 finishers.

The following night in a field of 21 World of Outlaws entries at Fayetteville Motor Speedway (Fayetteville, North Carolina), Clanton registered a runner-up finish in his heat behind Brandon Sheppard locking him into the 5th-starting spot for the Tar Heel 50 A-Main. Hanging on to a Top 10 finish, Shane dropped four spots in the 50-lapper to place 9th.

Dale McDowell Rumbles to Rome Cash with the ULTIMATE Series

Welcome, North Carolina (05/08/17) – Bouncing back from a near-miss on Saturday night, Dale McDowell powered the Shane McDowell Racing #17m Will Kinzer Foundation/ Sweet-Bloomquist Chassis Super Late Model to a $4,000 win on Sunday evening at Rome Speedway. It was his second win of 2017

After Mother Nature erased Friday night’s program, Shane McDowell Racing returned to Talladega Short Track (Eastaboga, Alabama) on Saturday night with Dale McDowell behind the wheel of the team’s #17m. In a field of 32 cars for the Southern All Star Series sanctioned contest, McDowell registered the fastest time overall in qualifying, earning him the 2nd-starting spot for the $4,000-to-win A-Main. After leading the first half of the race, McDowell slipped back to the 2nd position late after trying to avoid lap-traffic. Hanging on to a podium spot, Dale landed a 2nd-place finish behind Brandon Overton with Dallas Cooper, Cory Hedgecock, and Todd Morrow rounding out the Top 5.

On Sunday McDowell headed to Rome Speedway (Rome, Georgia). With 27 Super Late Models on hand for the ULTIMATE Super Late Model Series sanctioned program, McDowell timed in second fastest in his group behind Jason Welshan. His qualifying effort earning him the 4th-starting spot for the A-Main. Working his way into the 2nd position early, Dale paced his way through the race battling with Brandon Overton for the top spot.

Using lap traffic to his advantage late in the race, McDowell overtook Overton in the final two laps to pick up his second victory of the season. Overton, Donald McIntosh, Jonathan Davenport, and Michael Page completed the Top 5. Dale was awarded a $4,000 payday for his triumph in the 40-lap A-Main.

Full results from these events are available at www.SASDirt.com and www.ULTIMATESupers.com.

"It's ironic, on Saturday night I messed up in lapped traffic and got passed by Brandon and on Saturday night he kinda got hung up in lapped traffic and I got by him. So this world is really round I guess. It comes back around," said McDowell. "Actually the groove moved around. I stayed on the bottom too long early and the top got going so I moved up and then the bottom got going there at the end and I was able to make a few passes there, so it was a good night for us."

The upcoming weekend will find Dale McDowell tangling with the World of Outlaws (WoO) Craftsman Late Model Series in a pair of $10,000-to-win events in Tennessee. Action opens on Friday evening at Duck River Raceway Park (Wheel, Tennessee) before shifting to Smoky Mountain Speedway (Maryville, Tennessee).

Cory Hedgecock Conquers the Hornet’s Nest

Loudon, Tennessee (05/08/17) – Cory Hedgecock conquered the NeSmith Dirt Late Model Series event at Talladega Short Track on Saturday night in his Cushman #23 Valley Transport Rocket Chassis Crate Late Model. The triumph at the track known as the “Hornet’s Nest” marked his eighth win of 2017.

After losing Friday’s $2,500-to-win, weekend opener to rain, Cory Hedgecock returned to Talladega Short Track (Eastaboga, Alabama) on Saturday, pulling double duty in both the NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series and the Southern All Star Series.

Laying down the fastest time overall in a stout field of 52 NeSmith Crate Late Models, Hedgecock earned the 2nd-starting position for the feature. Dropping back to the 3rd position early in the event, Hedgecock reclaimed his starting spot after the leaders tangled while battling for the top spot. Waiting patiently to take over the lead, Cory jumped out in front after the race-leader broke.

He went on to cruise to his eighth win of the season, which came over Adam Cummings, Riley Hickman, Cruz Skinner, and Greg Martin. He was awarded a $2,500 payday for his triumph in the 50-lap A-Main.

In the Super Late Model ranks, Hedgecock timed in second fastest in his group, which positioned him on the second row for the Southern All Star feature. After battling for a podium spot throughout the A-Main, Cory dropped back to 4th after getting slammed into the wall by another competitor. Hanging on to a Top-5 finish, Hedgecock limped to a solid 4th-place finish behind Brandon Overton, Dale McDowell, and Dallas Cooper with Todd Morrow coming in 5th.

“I think we had an even better car than our finish reflected in the Southern All Star feature, but I’ll still gladly take a win and a 4th,” Hedgecock commented. “As always I want to dedicate this win to my awesome team and sponsors.”

For more results from these events, please visit www.NeSmithRacing.com and www.SASDirt.com .

This weekend – May 12-13 – Cory will enter a pair of United Crate Racing Association (UCRA) Late Model events in Alabama and Georgia.

Austin Hubbard Surges to Hagerstown Checkers

Seaford, Delaware (05/08/17) – Austin Hubbard parked his Mid-Coastal Siding #11 Trinity Logistics/ Rocket XR1 Chassis/ Cornett Racing Engine Super Late Model in Victory Lane for the first time in 2017 on Saturday night. Hubbard’s trip to Victory Lane came at the legendary Hagerstown Speedway.

On Saturday evening the team made the last minute decision to travel to Hagerstown Speedway (Hagerstown, Maryland) to compete in a Weekly Racing Series Event. Twenty-one entries took part on the event, which was held atop a lightning-fast track surface.

Via preliminary action, Austin earned the 6th-starting spot for the finale. As the 25-lap feature went green Hubbard quickly worked his way to the lead. Once out front he cruised to the comfortable victory, although he did narrowly avoid disaster. On the cool-down lap, following the checkered flag, the right-rear tire on his entry detonated, taking part of the body with it.

“Luck definitely was on our side tonight, because in the middle of turns 1 and 2 after the checkered flag the right-rear tire exploded,” said Hubbard. “It seems like too many times we’ve had that happen before the checkered flag, so it’s nice to have it happen after it for a change. We didn’t have a good redraw, but we had a great car, so luckily our starting spot didn’t matter.”

He concluded by noting, “So many people help us on this car including Mid-Coastal Siding, Trinity Logistics, Salisbury Door and Hardware, and Hoosier Tire. I greatly appreciate all of these sponsors as well as my crew, my family, and sponsors.”

Andy Anderson, Kyle Lee, Gary Stuhler, and D.J. Myers rounded out the Top 5.

The complete finish is available at www.HagerstownSpeedway.com .

Hubbard will look to continue his momentum this weekend, May 11-12 as he takes part in a pair of Tri-State Challenge events. Thursday night will take the team to Georgetown Speedway (Georgetown, Delaware) for a $4,000-to-win affair, while Friday night will find Hubbard in action at Potomac Speedway (Budd’s Creek, Maryland), where a $3,022-to-win top prize will be on the line for the victor of the Ernie Jones Memorial.

Mark Burch Motorsports and Lasoski Run Into Obstacles During Opening Race

Inside Line Promotions - PARK CITY, Kan. (May 8, 2017) - Hopefully the bad luck is out of the way for Mark Burch Motorsports, which kicked off its 2017 campaign last Saturday at 81 Speedway.

The team and driver Danny Lasoski opened the Kansas Outlaw Klassic with the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series by qualifying 19th quickest overall.

"First, it's great being back with Mark," Lasoski said. "He's had a long winter and has been itching to get back. Saturday was one of those nights where we were never caught up. We had a brand new race car and engine combination that was giving us trouble."

Lasoski finished where he started - seventh - in a heat race to narrowly miss locking into the main event. He then advanced from fourth to second place in the Last Chance Showdown to garner a transfer into the back of the main event.

"Every time I got on the track I'd run five laps and the engine temperature would start climbing," Lasoski said. "It turns out the head gaskets were leaking."

Lasoski gained a few positions during the first half of the main event before he was caught up in a crash with approximately a dozen laps remaining.

"I had just got lapped by Donny Schatz and normally whenever I get lapped I pull in, but since it was our first night of the season I kept hustling to see if I was doing something wrong," he said. "We came down the backstretch and another car just stopped right in front of us. Schatz hit him and I hit Schatz. It tore up a lot of our stuff."

Mark Burch Motorsports was unable to restart the race and was credited with a 22nd-place finish.

"Sometimes you have that the first race of the season," Lasoski said. "The tough teams keep working hard and it will pay off in the long run."

May 6 - 81 Speedway in Park City, Kan. - Qualifying: 19; Heat race: 7 (7); B Main: 2 (4); Feature: 22 (20).

Big Game Motorsports and Madsen Produce First Podium With World of Outlaws

Inside Line Promotions - KNOXVILLE, Iowa (May 8, 2017) - Kerry Madsen guided Big Game Motorsports to a pair of strong results last weekend when the Muddy sponsored team competed in two races during the same weekend for the first time in almost two months.

The action began on Friday at Missouri State Fair Speedway in Sedalia, Mo., where Madsen qualified fourth quickest before winning a heat race at the Sedalia Show-Me Showdown with the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series.

That locked him into the dash, in which a fifth-place result lined him up on the inside of the third row for the main event. Madsen maneuvered into the runner-up position prior to a late-race restart.

"It was a good run and the car was extremely quick," he said. "On the restart with two laps to go I didn't challenge for the lead as good as I should and lost a spot. I should have ran the bottom hard and could have challenged for the lead. I tried to run off his right rear coming to the cone and lost a bunch of time. I fell in line and gave away a spot."

Madsen ended with a third-place result, which marked his first podium of the season in World of Outlaws competition.

"I was pumped we had a good run," he said. "We haven't raced much in the last two months so I was excited we were up to speed and on pace."

The weekend wrapped up on Saturday at Knoxville Raceway, where the Muddy backed team timed in third quickest before advancing from sixth to fourth place in a heat race.

"We were really good in qualifying, but in the heat race and main event we weren't great," he said. "We never got the balance close. On a restart I tried something and gave away a bunch of spots. Our car would come alive after about eight laps, but on short runs we weren't even close. No excuses; we just weren't very good in the A Main."

Madsen battled for a top five throughout the main event before ending seventh, which was the team's 10th top 10 in 13 races this season.

Madsen and Big Game Motorsports are scheduled to compete this Friday at Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minn., for the Spring Nationals and Saturday at Badlands Motor Speedway in Brandon, S.D., for the Folkens Brothers Silver Shootout.

QUICK RESULTS -

May 5 - Missouri State Fair Speedway in Sedalia, Mo. - Qualifying: 4; Heat race: 1 (1); Dash: 5 (3); Feature: 3 (5).

May 6 - Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa - Qualifying: 3; Heat race: 4 (6); Feature: 7 (6).

SEASON STATS -

13 races, 1 win, 4 top fives, 10 top 10s, 12 top 15s, 13 top 20s

UP NEXT -
