Ricky Thornton Jr. Goes Back-To-Back for Firecracker 100 $50,000 Payday
Busy Week of Racing on Tap for Arizona Native

MARTINSVILLE, Ind. (06/24/24) – Ricky Thornton Jr. made history over the weekend with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS). He became the first driver to win back-to-back years in the Firecracker 100 presented by Big River Steel.

Thornton Jr. started his weekend at Lernerville Speedway with a $5,000 triumph in preliminary action on Thursday before dominating Saturday’s finale to snare the $50,000 top prize with his SSI Motorsports / Coltman Farms / Hoker Trucking No. 20RT Dyno One Inc. / Excel Floor Covering / Sub-Surface of Indiana / Longhorn Chassis / Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model.

Ricky won by over 12 seconds in the 100-lap affair.

“There was a few times I would get to a lapped car and could never drive hard enough to get by him, and it would really slow my pace down. One time I tried to slow down in three and four and actually about went off the top, so I got into a good rhythm from there on. When this track is fast it’s really fast, but once it’s slick it’s probably slicker than East Bay (Raceway Park),” Thornton Jr. said in Lucas Oil Victory Lane on Saturday night. “It kind of reminds me of All-Tech, where for some reason we are really good there. I think our package suits this style of racetrack once it gets super clean and really slick and it got it done for us.”

Ricky Thornton Jr. rejoined the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) on Thursday at Lernerville Speedway (Sarver, Pa.) as the 18th annual Firecracker 100 presented by Big River Steel got underway with prelims on Thursday and Friday leading up to Saturday’s finale.

With the 53-car field separated into two groups, Thornton’s third-to-first run in his heat race placed him on the pole for his preliminary. Setting sail on the drop of the green flag, Ricky rolled to his 18th win of the season in the 25-lapper, taking the checkers ahead of Mike Marlar, Garrett Alberson, Michael Norris, and Jimmy Owens. He earned a $5,000 winner's payday.

Following a third-place result in Friday’s prelim feature, Ricky raced into Saturday’s Firecracker 100 with a 10-lap heat race triumph. Seeking a repeat victory in the finale after picking up the five-figure payday in 2023, Thornton regained the lead from Mike Marlar on lap 45 and cruised to the 100-lap, $50,000 triumph. He won by more than a 12-second margin over Devin Moran with Marlar joining the podium.

The historic back-to-back victory marked Ricky’s 19th win overall of the season.

Thornton increased his lead over Jonathan Davenport atop the LOLMDS point standings to 225 points.

Full results from the weekend can be found at www.LucasDirt.com .

Ricky now has a busy week of racing in front of him that begins Monday evening with the opening round of the National Open Wheel (NOW) 600 Series Indiana Micro Week at Miami County Raceway (Peru, Ind.). From there Thornton Jr. will tentatively enter the Indiana Micro Week events at U.S. 24 Speedway (Logansport, Ind.) and Bartholomew County Fairgrounds (Columbus, Ind.) on Tuesday and Wednesday before returning to Super Late Model action on Friday and Saturday at Volunteer Speedway (Bulls Gap, Tenn.) with a $50,000-to-win event.

Tyler Erb Enjoys a Hat Trick Win Week in Summer Nationals Competition
Week No. 3 of the ‘Hell Tour’ Kicks Off Tuesday at Springfield

ST. MARY.S, Ohio (06/24/24) – Despite having to overcome adversity throughout the week Tyler Erb was still able to enjoy a highly successful week on the DIRTcar Summer Nationals.

Erb collected a trio of feature wins including a $5,000 victory at Davenport Speedway, a $10,000 triumph at the Brownstown Bullring, and a $10,000 win at Federated Parts Raceway at I-55 with his Bulk Material Lift / Anthony’s Pizza No. 1 Best Performance Motorsports / Langenfelder Mechanical Contractors / First Class Septic / XR1 Rocket Chassis / Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model.

“We added three more wins, and we were in contention for even more but two of the night’s we had circumstances outside our control eliminate our chances. Still a good week though, and I can’t say enough about this whole Best Performance Motorsports team. We’re enjoying a Monday off before going back to dig mode on Tuesday at Springfield (Raceway),” Erb said.

Seeking his fourth straight Hell Tour victory, Tyler Erb rejoined the DIRTcar Summer Nationals on Tuesday afternoon competing on the quarter-mile oval at Davenport (Iowa) Speedway.

Aboard his Best Performance Motorsports No. 1 Super Late Model, Tyler topped his 19-car group in time trials before placing first in his heat race. Lined up fourth for the feature via the redraw, Erb sailed ahead of Kye Blight on lap 22 and controlled the final nine circuits to claim the $5,000 payday and his seventh win of the season.

On Wednesday afternoon at Adams County Speedway (Quincy, Ill.), Erb edged into the A-Main with the final transfer spot in his heat race after getting spun while leading. Pinned on the seventh row for the feature, Tyler made up seven positions in the 30-lapper to salvage a seventh-place finish.

Meanwhile, contact while racing for the lead during Thursday’s feature at Spoon River Speedway (Canton, Ill.) resulted in a 15th-place finish for Erb.

Getting revenge on Friday and Saturday, Tyler recorded back-to-back DIRTcar Summer Nationals victories at Brownstown (IL) Bullring and Federated Auto Part Raceway (Pevely, Mo.). The pair of $10,000 paydays increased Erb’s 2024-win counter to nine.

Erb’s weekend concluded on Sunday with a runner-up finish in the $7,500-to-win A-Main at Lincoln (Ill.) Speedway. He joined Jason Feger on the podium with Ryan Unzicker finishing third.

Tyler finished second in the Week 2 DIRTcar Summer Nationals point standings and continues to lead the series-long standings.

Full results from the events can be found at www.TheHellTour.com.

Tyler’s DIRTcar Summer Nationals action continues this week with the following slate:

June 25: Springfield (Mo.) Raceway - $5,000-to-win
June 26: Tri-City Speedway (Granite City, Ill.) - $5,000-to-win
June 27: Macon (Ill.) Speedway - $7,500-to-win

Nick Hoffman Banks $15,000 Hoosier Dirt Classic at Brownstown with WoO
Busy WoO Week Awaits

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (06/24/24) – One night after seeing a World of Outlaws (WoO) Case Late Model Series slip from his grips, Nick Hoffman triumphantly gained redemption on Saturday night with a $15,000 series victory at Brownstown Speedway aboard the Tye Twarog Racing / NOS Energy Drink No. 9 C&W Trucking / Longhorn Chassis / Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model.

A night after a brush with the wall cost him a chance at a win at Ponderosa Speedway, Hoffman utilized the high line of Jim Price’s Brownstown Speedway to collect his series’ best fourth win of the year and fifth win overall on the season.

“I’ve won in (the high) line so many times in my modified, so I knew eventually that bottom would get burned up, as long as them guys didn’t just keep pushing them infield tires in,” Hoffman said in Victory Lane. “I was kinda frustrated there, just caution after caution, it felt like nothing would go my way that race and finally it did. I was able to clear (Sorensen) there right at the line before the (lap-33) caution. I fell like I gave one away last night at Ponderosa (Speedway), so this is nice redemption.”

As the busy season ramps up, Nick Hoffman returned to competition with the World of Outlaws (WoO) Case Late Model Series on Thursday afternoon to compete in the Summertown Showdown at Thunderhill Raceway Park (Summertown, Tenn.).

In the opener of the three-race swing, Hoffman was an early exit from his heat race but was able to rebound with a top-10 finish in the feature. Launching from the 10th row, Nick advanced forward 12 positions in the 40-lapper to register a seventh-place finish.

For the Billy Todd Classic on Friday evening at Ponderosa Speedway (Junction City, Ken.), Nick qualified fifth-fastest in his group before placing second in his heat race. With the redraw placing him on the front row for the $10,000-to-win A-Main, Hoffman shot out to an early lead over Brandon Sheppard but contact with the turn-two wall on lap 28, while leading, shuffled him back to sixth when the checkers flew.

Seeking redemption on Saturday evening at Brownstown (Ind.) Speedway, Hoffman raced into the 41st annual Hoosier Dirt Classic A-Main with a win in his heat race. Starting in second, Nick tracked down pole-starting Dustin Sorensen on lap 32 and paced the remaining 19 circuits to claim his fifth win of the season and the $15,000 top prize.

He recorded his fifth career WoO triumph ahead of Sorensen, Bobby Pierce, Max McLaughlin, and Brandon Sheppard.

Hoffman is currently 12 points behind Brandon Sheppard for the lead in the latest World of Outlaws (WoO) Case Late Model Series point standings.

Full results from the events as well as the latest standings are available at www.WoOLMS.com .

This week will be a busy one with five races in six days with WoO, including the following:

Monday, June 24: Independence (Iowa) Motor Speedway
Tuesday, June 25: Hamilton County Speedway (Webster City, Iowa)
Thursday, June 27: I-94 EMR Speedway (Fergus Falls, Minn.)
Friday, June 28: River Cities Speedway (Grand Forks, N.D.)
Saturday, June 29: Norman County Raceway (Ada, Minn.)

Brandon Sheppard Doubles Down in WoO Weekend Winner’s Circle
Embarks on Northern WoO Swing this Week

NEW BERLIN, Ill. (June 24, 2024) — Brandon Sheppard turned up the volume over the weekend with a pair of World of Outlaws (WoO) Case Late Model Series victories with his Coltman Farms Racing / Realtree Outdoors No. B5 Sheppard Riggs Longhorn Factory / Valvoline / Riggs Drilling Solutions / Bilstein / Mesilla Valley Transportation Super Late Model.

Sheppard claimed his first WoO win of the year on Thursday night at Thunderhill Raceway Park and then doubled down the next night with another triumph at Ponderosa Speedway.

Thursday’s win in Tennessee came after a spirited battle with Cade Dillard.

“We had a really good car in the heat race, and I knew that, and we just had to get up on the wheel and make it happen because Cade (Dillard) and all these guys do a really good job,” Sheppard said. “Just super tough competition night-in and night-out.”

One night later, Sheppard was once again parked in Victory Lane, this time in Kentucky.

“This is by far my favorite stretch of the year," Sheppard noted. "I always look forward to (racing in) this area. We’ve been racing around this area a little bit more the past couple of years, just trying to stay familiar with it for the touring races like this. (Racing) up in the Midwest, that’s my favorite place in the world, so definitely looking forward to going up there. Confidence is high going into it.”

Kicking off a busy stretch with the World of Outlaws (WoO) Case Late Model Series, Brandon Sheppard took the Longhorn Factory Team No. B5 Late Model into battle at Thunderhill Raceway Park (Summertown, Tenn.) on Thursday for the Summertown Showdown.

With the opener of the tripleheader drawing 24 Late Models, Sheppard stormed into the redraw with a heat race win. Starting the feature in fifth, Brandon patiently worked his way to the front as he overtook pacesetter Cade Dillard on lap 38 and paced the final three circuits to claim the $10,000 victory. He recorded his third win of the season and 84th career WoO triumph ahead of Dillard, Brent Larson, Brian Shirley, and Ryan Gustin.

At Ponderosa Speedway (Junction City, Ken.) on Friday for the Billy Todd Classic, Brandon backed up the second-fastest qualifying lap in his group with a heat race win. Driving to the front in the feature after the leader tagged the wall on lap 28, Sheppard soared to his second win in as many nights and fourth overall of the 2024 season. He earned a $10,000 winner’s payday ahead of Bobby Pierce and Zack Dohm.

Sheppard's tripleheader WoO weekend drew to a close on Sunday with a fifth-place finish in the Hoosier Dirt Classic at Brownstown Speedway (Brownstown, Ind.). The New Berlin, Ill., driver improved four spots from the fifth row in the 50-lap affair to claim a fifth-place finish.

On the heels of his two-win weekend, Sheppard holds a 12-point advantage over Nick Hoffman atop the World of Outlaws point standings.
Full results from the events are available at www.WoOLMS.com .

Brandon Sheppard is now prepared for five races in six days with WoO, including:

Monday, June 24: Independence (Iowa) Motor Speedway
Tuesday, June 25: Hamilton County Speedway (Webster City, Iowa)
Thursday, June 27: I-94 EMR Speedway (Fergus Falls, Minn.)
Friday, June 28: River Cities Speedway (Grand Forks, N.D.)
Saturday, June 29: Norman County Raceway (Ada, Minn.)

Kubota High Limit Racing Doubleheader Up Next

With the victory, Howard has now won in three different Sprint Car divisions this season.

“As always I’m always grateful for when Chad (Jones) has me drive his car. He’s got top-notch equipment, and I know anytime I get the chance to be in the seat of his ride, I’m going to be a contender. We started the night with speed and carried all the way through the feature win,” Moore said. “I’m looking forward to competing in this week’s High Limit Racing doubleheader at Lucas Oil Speedway. It’s always a blast to race there, and to get to do it against such a talented field of racers will be awesome.”

Slipping behind the wheel of the Chad Jones Motorsports No. 29 this past Saturday night at Riverside International Speedway, Howard Moore collected his third win of the season.

Topping the 13-car field with a run that started from the pole, there was only a small challenge on the first lap before Moore ran away to the victory, which came over Keith Ainsworth, Dalton Davis, Corey Ray, and Dusty Young.

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

Austin Horton Captures Emotional Victory at Senoia Raceway
Independence Shootout with Hunt the Front Series at Senoia Next

WHITESBURG, Ga. (6/25/24) – Austin Horton has become a familiar visitor to Senoia Raceway’s Victory Lane over the years. However, his voyage to the winner’s circle this past weekend at the Georgia oval aboard his Brandon Duke Racing / Wood Motorsports No. 66 Bobby Thomas Race Engines Late Model will be one he never forgets as he was racing in honor of his mentor Andy Knowles and his late family members that he lost in a tragic fire.

"I did this special tribute wrap for Mr. Andy Knowles. The Knowles family is going through some really tough times right now, keep them in your prayers," Horton said. "I would also like to mention my family; six of my family members were lost in a house fire this past Monday morning and keep them in your prayers."

Horton’s $3,000 Topless Outlaws victory was his fourth overall of the season and third at the 3/8-mile oval.

Unveiling a special throwback wrap dedicated to his mentor Andy Knowles, Austin Horton returned to action over the weekend on Saturday piloting the No. 66 Late Model for the Topless Outlaw Dirt Racing Series event at Senoia (Ga.) Raceway.

With a whopping 41 Late Models on the grounds, Horton locked himself into the 40-lap main event with the fifth-fastest qualifying lap in his group. Starting 10th with $4,000 on the line, Austin quickly made his way to the front and took the lead after Tucker Anderson suffered a flat. Leading the final 27 laps, Horton pocketed a $4,000 payday and collected his fourth victory of the season.

"I've got probably the smallest motor packages you're allowed to run with Topless Outlaws, but I told my guys when it gets slick, I'm like a shark in the water," Horton said. "This Rocket XR1 is a '17 model and it just keeps clicking 'em off. It's a good car."

Austin dedicated the win to his extended family who perished in a house fire earlier in the week.

Full results from the weekend can be found at www.SenoiaRaceway1969.com.

Horton plans to take this coming weekend off but will return to Senoia Raceway on July 6 to compete with the Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series. A $20,000 payday will be up for grabs in the Super Late Model portion of the Independence Shootout.

Ryan Unzicker Tops DIRTcar Summer Nationals Stop at Spoon River Speedway
Herald & Review 100 at Macon Up Next

EL PASO, Ill. (06/25/24) – Staying composed despite a rocky start early in his 2024 season, Ryan Unzicker found his groove on Thursday with a $5,000 DIRTcar Summer Nationals victory at Spoon River Speedway aboard his RJR Transportation / Brucker Farms No. 24 Mosquito Hero / MB Customs / Pro Power Racing Engine Super Late Model.

The win marked Unzicker’s second of the season and his 14th-career DIRTcar Summer Nationals triumph.

"I was putting a lot of pressure on Erb there. I don't know if I'd ever got around him and I'm not sure what happened there, I know Feger was right there and obviously they got tangled up there," Unzicker said. "I felt like I was pretty sporty there really the whole night. It's just the testament to my whole crew. A lot of people that follow us know that we struggled all year, and we just never gave up really. We just took a couple of weeks off and needed to step back to regroup."

Ryan Unzicker rejoined the DIRTcar Summer Nationals on Thursday as the sixth round of the Hell Tour brought 30 Late Models to Spoon River Speedway (Canton, Ill.).

Following the second-fastest lap in his time trial group, Unzicker outran Tanner English in his heat race to record the eight-lap victory. Locked on the front row for the feature, Ryan soared into the lead late in the 30-lapper en route to his second win of the season and 14th career Hell Tour triumph. He bagged the $5,000 payday ahead of Jason Feger, Tanner English, Kye Blight, and Garrett Smith.

In a slower start on Friday at Brownstown Bullring (Brownstown, Ill.), Unzicker timed in 12th-fastest in his qualifying group before going sixth-to-third in his heat. Charging from the sixth row in the feature, Ryan rocketed to the runner-up honors in the 40-lap affair.

After turning in another second-place finish on Saturday at Fairbury Speedway (Fairbury, Ill.), Ryan concluded his weekend with another podium outing on Sunday at Lincoln Speedway (Lincoln, Ill.). Vying for the $5,000 DIRTcar Summer Nationals victory in the ninth round of the Hell Tour, Unzicker climbed to a third-place finish.

Full results from the events can be found at www.TheHellTour.com and www.FairburySpeedway.com.

Unzicker is set to return with the DIRTcar Summer Nationals on Thursday at Macon Speedway for the 44th annual Herald & Review 100. He will follow the miniseries to Farmer City Raceway on Friday but the team is still evaluating their options for Saturday.

Jason Feger Claims Week #2 Summer Nationals Title with Lincoln Victory
Hell Tour Resumes on Tuesday at Springfield Raceway

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. (06/25/24) – Jason Feger capped off an extremely consistent DIRTcar Summer Nationals swing with a $7,500 victory in Sunday’s Week 2 finale at Lincoln Speedway aboard his Titan Industries / Corrosion Technologies / Cheap Cars No. 25 Longhorn Chassis Late Model.

Feger’s run of six consecutive Top-5 finishes over the week earned him the $10,000 Week 2 DIRTcar Summer Nationals title.

"I mean, obviously Terbo (Tyler Erb) has been on a roll, but I at least want to bring our A-game and give us a shot," Feger said. "We've been inching closer. So it feels good to finally have the car feeling like I feel like it should."

For the second week of the DIRTcar Summer Nationals deemed Hell Tour, Jason Feger followed the summer miniseries to Davenport Speedway (Davenport, Iowa) on Tuesday to compete on the quarter-mile oval.

Following a third-place heat finish, Feger climbed five spots in the 30-lap opener to place fifth.

After a pair of runner-up finishes on Wednesday at Adams County Speedway (Quincy, Ill.) and Thursday at Spoon River Speedway (Canton, Ill.), Jason turned in a fourth-place performance in Friday’s stop at Brownstown (IL) Bullring.

Extending his run of Top-5 finishes on Saturday, Feger rolled to the runner-up honors in Saturday’s $10,000-to-win DIRTcar Summer Nationals A-Main at Federated Auto Part Raceway (Pevely, Mo.).

Jason capped off the second week of the Hell Tour with his third straight DIRTcar Summer Nationals victory at Lincoln Speedway (Lincoln, Ill.) on Sunday. He wrestled away the lead from Kye Blight early in the feature and fended off a red-hot Tyler Erb to secure the $7,500 victory and his eighth win of the season.

The win marked his 27th-career Hell Tour triumph and his third straight at the Illinois oval.

On the heels of Sunday’s win, Feger claimed the $10,000 weekly DIRTcar Summer Nationals points title.

Full results from the events can be found at www.TheHellTour.com.

Feger will return with the DIRTcar Summer Nationals on Tuesday at Springfield Raceway and remain with the miniseries all week. His slate follows:
June 25th: Springfield (Mo.) Raceway – $5,000-to-win
June 26th: Tri-City Speedway (Granite City, Ill.) – $5,000-to-win
June 27th: Macon (Ill.) Speedway – $7,500-to-win
