Quarter Master� Products Found In Victory Lane Nationwide

alindsey1 — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 21:40:54 GMT

Whether it be NASCAR, the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series, Late Models or any other motorsports division, Quarter Master� products are found in winning race cars nationwide

With the sheer mass of racers and teams that utilize Quarter Master� racing clutches and driveline products, it is no surprise that victory lanes across the country have recently been filled with Quarter Master� products. Quarter Master� specializes in products for almost every type of motorsports, and top competitors are taking advantage of the performance benefits.

Most recently, Quarter Master� flexed its muscles in the 2010 Brickyard 400 at the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis, Indiana. The top four finishers in the illustrious NASCAR event were utilizing cutting-edge Quarter Master� technology and included event winner Jamie McMurray and second through fourth place finishers Kevin Harvick, Greg Biffle and Clint Bowyer. Among the Quarter Master� components utilized by the front running teams were the brand new Reverse Mount Bellhousing Kit and the new 8-Leg Optimum-V Clutch.

While Sprint Cup drivers were making NASCAR history with Quarter Master� products in Indiana, across the country in New Jersey, the SpeedSource Mazda RX-8 team was breaking records, as well. The team made an unprecedented podium sweep in the GT-Class in Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series action at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, New Jersey. Co-drivers Jonathan Bomarito and Sylvain Tremblay topped the action by taking the win while co-drivers John Edwards and Adam Christodoulou claimed the runner-up spot for the team. Emil Assentato and Jeff Segal rounded out the podium with their third place finish. The SpeedSource team uses only Quarter Master� clutches in all of their race cars to guarantee top of the line performance.

With national news being made, Quarter Master� customers also wreaked havoc on the regional scene in Late Model competition. ACT Late Model Series competitor Joey Polewarczyk, Jr. from Hudson, New Hampshire, used Quarter Master� products to scorch the asphalt at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine, en route to giving Ford its first win with the tour. Polewarczyk, Jr. controlled the race and led over half of the event�s laps before taking the win.

Dirt Late Model racing was not exempt from Quarter Master� dominance over the course of the last week. Bart Hartman earned a special event win at Florence Speedway in Union, Kentucky, while Chris Madden recorded a Southern Nationals Series win at Rome Speedway in Rome, Georgia.

Quarter Master� continues to push the envelope for producing unmatched, high performance products for circle track racers, as well as continuing to prepare for a big return to the drag racing world in the near future. It�s clear to see that if you want to make sure you are getting winning performance from your driveline products, you need to join the Quarter Master� team today!

COMP Cams� SMP Series Sooner Speedweek an Instant Success

CPG Marketing — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 18:55:05 GMT

The COMP Cams� Sooner Speedweek Presented By Racing Head Service made its debut in Oklahoma and Kansas in July of 2010, and in the end the fans, the tracks, and the drivers emerged as winners.

The COMP Cams� Southern Modified Promotions (SMP) Series was founded in 2008 by Michael Luna and Brandon Crawford, who each recognized the need for a touring Dirt Open Wheel Modified tour in the South. For the first two years of the tour�s existence, races were sanctioned in Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Alabama. The results were mixed as the tour searched for its identity, and also battled issues such as the demise of the Dirt Open Wheel Modified division in the South due to various reasons including escalating costs.

As a result of its hardships in 2008 and 2009, the tour made the decision for the 2010 season to take a completely different direction. One of the tour�s officials, Jason Markewitz, who hails from Oklahoma, indicated that he thought that an Oklahoma Speedweek would be highly successful. Over the last few months of 2009, several phone calls from series� officials were made to tracks in Oklahoma and southern Kansas. Despite not having a previous presence in the region, many of the tracks were receptive to the idea, and by December 2009, a schedule consisting of six dates was booked for July 12th-17th, 2010. The Speedweek included five events in Oklahoma and one in Kansas with each event paying $1,500 to win and $125 to start.

With the tracks on board, the tour began looking for a title sponsor, and Memphis, Tennessee based, COMP Cams�, stepped up to fill the roll with Racing Head Service coming on board as the tour�s presenting sponsor. With the title and presenting sponsors in place, the tour also solidified several associate sponsors as things began to fall into place for the inaugural COMP Cams� SMP Sooner Speedweek Presented By Racing Head Service.

By early July 2010 the COMP Cams� SMP staff was eagerly preparing for their first trip to Oklahoma, but just a few days before the start of the tour, discouraging news was received. Officials with Clinton Motorsports Park in Ada, Oklahoma notified series� officials that flooding had incurred damage at the facility, and the event scheduled for July 12th would have to be canceled. The COMP Cams� SMP staff was disappointed by the news, but turned their focus to the remaining five events.

As a result of the scheduled opener being canceled, the first actual event of the 2010 COMP Cams� SMP Speedweek was held on Tuesday, July 13th at Brill�s Motor Speedway in Meeker, Oklahoma. The event drew an impressive field of 52 Dirt Open Wheel Modifieds, representing eight states as well as a large turnout of fans. The crowd on hand for the event was treated to a great feature event, which saw three and four wide racing throughout the pack. By the time that the checkered flag dropped it was Oklahoma City�s Randy Timms, who claimed the win from the eighth starting position.

With confidence on their side, the COMP Cams� SMP tour moved to the legendary Thunderbird Speedway in Muskogee, Oklahoma on Wednesday, July 14th. The � mile oval, which was built as a horse track in 1906, saw a field of 32 cars enter the event. Speeds in excess of 120 mph reigned supreme, and Westville, Oklahoma driver, Jason Hughes, put on a masterful, driving display to claim the victory.

The difference that one night can make as Thursday, July 15th found the COMP Cams� SMP Sooner Speedweek leaving the huge � mile from the night before in favor of the extremely tight confines of Creek County Speedway in Kellyville, Oklahoma. Once again a solid field of 30 competitors entered the event, and for the first time in the 2010 campaign, one of the pioneer members of the COMP Cams� SMP tour claimed the win as Randy Todd from Lexington, Tennessee fought off a late race, three wide battle for the lead to claim the feature win.

Round #5 of the COMP Cams� SMP Sooner Speedweek appeared to be doomed on Friday night, July 16th as severe thunderstorms surrounded the Caney Valley Speedway in Caney, Kansas early in the evening. Miraculously, the facility received only a heavy sprinkle, and the event was able to be held with 35 entrants on hand. Racing veteran, Johnny Bone Jr. from Pea Ridge, Arkansas, made a clean sweep of the event by setting fast time and leading every lap of the feature on the racy, � mile, despite a late race charge by Jesse Stovall.

The final event of the 2010 COMP Cams� SMP Sooner Speedweek was contested on Saturday, July 17th at Mid-America Speedway in South Coffeyville, Oklahoma. With 37 cars on hand for battle, the event would put an exclamation point on the tour as Rodney Sanders from Happy, Texas rocketed from his sixteenth starting position to take the lead late in the race as he went on to claim the win to become the fifth different winner during the course of the COMP Cams� SMP Sooner Speedweek.

Allen Chickering from Okarche, Oklahoma claimed the 2010 COMP Cams� SMP Sooner Speedweek Point�s Championship with Randy Todd, Hunter Rasdon, Jeremy Ross, and Rodney Sanders rounding out the top five in the final standings.

Over eighty different Dirt Open Wheel Modified drivers took part in the COMP Cams� SMP Sooner Speedweek with no driver winning more than one race. The competition level at each event was extremely high and large, enthusiastic crowds were on hand each night to take in all of the action. In addition, due to the success of the inaugural events, calls have already begun to come in from tracks requesting dates for 2011, and due to the high level of demand there is the distinct possibility for two speedweek tours for next season. More details regarding the 2011 season will soon be available.

Caney Valley, KS (07/16/10) � Johnny Bone Jr. overcame lapped traffic and a late race charge from Jesse Stovall to win the COMP Cams SMP Sooner Speedweek Event Presented By Racing Head Service at Caney Valley Speedway in Caney, Kansas.

After finishing second earlier in the week at Thunderbird Speedway in his only other COMP Cams SMP Speedweek start, Johnny Bone Jr. started the night by setting fast time in MRW Race Wheels Qualifying with a lap of 14.98 second around the � mile oval. He was joined on the front row by Mickey Burrell for the 30 lap main event and the front row starters would see the first two starts waved off due to cautions for spun cars. The third attempt to get the race underway would be successful, and Bone Jr. would jump to the lead over Burrell, Jesse Stovall, Allen Chickering, and Randy Todd.

Lap three would find Bone comfortably in the lead, while Burrell and Stovall battled side-by-side for second. Two laps later Stovall would take over the second position, while Burrell faded to the fifth spot.

Stovall found himself a straightaway behind the leader by lap ten as the battle for third commanded the crowd�s attention with Randy Todd, Rodney Sanders, and Hunter Rasdon battling three wide.

Shortly after the halfway point, Bone Jr. would find himself in heavy lapped traffic as Stovall began to close in on him. Traffic would begin to wreak havoc for the top two cars over the next few laps, which allowed third place runner, Rodney Sanders, to make up ground on the leader.

The remainder of the event would see the leaders navigating heavy traffic, and as the lead trio came to the white flag the crowd came to their feet as Stovall tried a daring move on the outside for the lead in turns one and two. However, Bone Jr. would slam the door as he went on to lead the last half lap en route to the $1,500 payday. Stovall, Sanders, Rasdon, and Tommy Weder Jr. rounded out the top five.

The final round of the COMP Cams SMP Sooner Speedweek will be held at Mid America Speedway in South Coffeyville, Oklahoma on Saturday night, July 17th. For more information, please visit www.SMPSeries.com and www.MidAmericaSpeedway.com .

Kellyville, Oklahoma (07/15/10) � Before this week, Randy Todd from Lexington, Tennessee had not even seen any of the tracks, where he is competing, but on Thursday night that did not matter as he topped the 30 lap main event in Round #4 of the COMP Cams SMP Sooner Speedweek Presented By Racing Head Service at Creek County Speedway.

Despite threatening weather throughout the afternoon and early evening, twenty-nine Open Wheel Modifieds entered the $1,500 to win event. After setting fast time in MRW Pole Qualifying John Webb from Paul�s Valley, Oklahoma started on the pole for the feature with Randy Todd to his outside.

The first attempt to get the race underway would be nixed as several cars spun in turn one. The field lined up for a complete double file restart, and it was Todd who snagged the early advantage over Webb, Steve Lacy, and Brett Washburn. As Todd built a three car length advantage in the early going, the battle for the second spot became red hot as Lacy and Webb began to battle it out.

The second and final caution of the event flew on lap three as Alan Sharpensteen and Tony Anderson tangled in turn one. Both drivers would be able to continue as the joined the back of the pack.

On the ensuing restart, Lacy jumped to the second spot as Webb began to fade with Matt French working his way up to the third spot. By lap ten the leaders were catching lapped traffic, and one lap later French would move to the second spot as he began to reel in the leader.

The 12th circuit would find the leaders in lapped traffic and things began to heat up for the lead. As the race passed the halfway point the top five in the running order consisted of Todd, French, Allen Chickering, Lacy, and Webb. While Todd still maintained the lead his advantage was far from comfortable as French and Chickering were rapidly closing in lapped traffic. Entering turn one on lap 20 Todd would move up the track to work through lapped traffic, and French pulled door to door with him as the pair battled side-by-side for the lead.

Entering turn one on the next lap, the duo would make contact, which opened the door for Chickering to pounce. One lap later the top three would flare three-wide exiting turn four for the lead before Todd jumped back to sole-possession of the lead.

Randy Todd went on to lead the last few laps of the race to claim the win over Matt French, Allen Chickering, Steve Lacy, and Rodney Sanders.

Round #5 of the COMP Cams SMP Sooner Speedweek will be held at Caney Valley Speedway in Caney, Kansas on Friday night, July 16th. For more information, please visit www.SMPSeries.com and www.CaneyValleySpeedway.net .

Jason Hughes Hammers COMP Cams SMP Foes At Thunderbird

CPG Marketing — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 13:15:43 GMT

Muskogee, Oklahoma (07/14/10) � Westville, Oklahoma�s Jason Hughes made his debut in COMP Cams SMP Sooner Speedweek Presented By Racing Head Service action on Wednesday night at Thunderbird Speedway in Muskogee, Oklahoma and made his presence strongly known by sweeping the action to claim the $1,500 win.

Thirty-two Open Wheel Modifieds, representing eight states, converged on the legendary Thunderbird Speedway in Muskogee, Oklahoma on Wednesday night. In MRW Wheels Pole Qualifying it was Jason Hughes, who blazed to the fastest lap around the � mile oval with a 21.84 second lap.

Via his qualifying effort he started on the pole for the feature, and was flanked to his outside by Hunter Rasdon from Jonesboro, Arkansas. As the race got underway in front of a large enthusiastic crowd, Hughes shot to the lead with Rasdon, Johnny Bone Jr., Allen Chickering, and Jesse Stovall in pursuit. Rasdon would slip high in turn three on the first lap making contact with the wall. He would recover, but not before losing several spots.

Meanwhile, at the front of the pack, Hughes was already entering a different zip code. By lap 10 he held a straight away lead over Bone Jr. as the battle on the track was for the third through fifth spots as several cars battled for the spot. Stovall would clear the battle for third by the race�s midway point, but remained a distant third.

Hughes would go on to claim the comfortable win by over a straightaway in the caution free event with Johnny Bone Jr., Jesse Stovall, Terry Beckham II (started 11th), and Randy Timms rounding out the top five.

Randy Timms leads the current COMP Cams Sooner Speedweek points.

Round #4 of the COMP Cams SMP Sooner Speedweek will be held at Creek Valley Speedway in Sapulpa, Oklahoma on Thursday night, July 15th. For more information, please visit www.SMPSeries.com and www.CreekCountySpeedway.com .

Randy Timms Tops COMP Cams SMP Action at Brills Motor Speedway

alindsey1 — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 14:13:40 GMT

Meeker, Oklahoma (07/13/10) � Randy Timms overcame a great battle with Jessie Stovall and Allen Chickering to claim the win in the opener for the COMP Cams SMP Sooner Speedweek Presented By Racing Head Service on Tuesday night at Brill�s Motor Speedway in Meeker, Oklahoma.

A talent-laden field of 52 entries representing eight states entered the opening round of the COMP Cams SMP Speedweek on Tuesday night at Brill�s Motor Speedway. In MRW Racing Wheels Pole Qualifying it was Allen Chickering from Okarche, Oklahoma, who blazed to the fastest time to earn the pole for the feature. He was to be joined by Jeff Autry on the front row for the 30 lap feature event, but mechanical woes after time trials forced Autry to scratch, and he was replaced by Doug Bragg.

As the feature got underway Chickering bolted to the lead with Jesse Stovall, Rodney Sanders, Bragg, and Randy Todd in tow. The field would only complete one lap as the first caution flew for Rodney Sanders, who slowed with mechanical issues. He would head pitside, but would not return.

On the ensuing restart Chickering and Stovall began battling side-by-side for the top spot, and would do so for the next five laps before the caution flew again as Randy Todd slowed with a flat tire. At the time of the caution the top five running order consisted of Chickering, Stovall, Randy Timms (who started 8th), William Gould, and Bragg.

With the green flag in the air once again, a great three car battle began to transpire for the lead with Chickering, Stovall, and Timms flaring three wide at times. Stovall would take control of the top spot on the 10th circuit, but he would be kept in close check by Chickering and Timms. Timms would slip by in traffic to take the lead on the 23rd circuit before Stovall regained the lead one lap later.

It appeared that Stovall would claim the win, but approaching the white flag, the rearend in his car broke forcing him to the infield, and allowing Randy Timms to inherit the lead. Timms went on to lead the final two laps of the race to take the win over Allen Chickering, William Gould, Tommy Weder Jr., and Patrick Linn.

Round #2 of the COMP Cams SMP Sooner Speedweek will be held at Thunderbird Speedway in Muskogee, Oklahoma on Wednesday night, July 14th. For more information, please visit www.SMPSeries.com and www.ThunderbirdSpeedwayMuskogee.com .

COMP Cams� Customers Sweep Podium in 2nd Annual Clash At The Mag

jjamros — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 14:16:44 GMT

With many of the nation�s top Dirt Late Model drivers on hand for the 2nd Annual Clash At The Mag at Magnolia Motor Speedway, it was three COMP Cams� customers who proved to be the cream of the crop.

Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, Mississippi, is widely regarded as having one of the toughest racing surfaces in the country for drivers to tame. In fact, its infamously slick surface is commonly regarded as the �Black Ice.�

Over the course of the July 9th-10th, 2010 weekend, the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) invaded the facility for the 2nd Annual Clash At The Mag, which boasted a $20,000 winner�s purse in a l00 lap feature with SPEED TV cameras filming the action. By the time the field of competitors were finished skating around the 1/3 mile oval in the 100 lap finale, it was three COMP Cams� customers, who had found their way to the front of the pack.

Four-time LOLMDS Champion, Earl Pearson Jr., from Jacksonville, Florida, earned the pole position for the feature in his #44 Mastersbilt/Larry Wallace Racing Engine Super Late Model. After running second during the early stages of the event, Pearson powered his way to the top spot on lap 30 and never looked back en route to the win, which was his third straight on the LOLMDS tour.

Defending LOLMDS Champion and current points leader, Scott Bloomquist, from Mooresburg, Tennessee, battled throughout the top five for the entire event in his #0 Bloomquist/Roush Yates Racing Engine Super Late Model. Bloomquist mounted a late race charge to the number two spot and pressured Pearson for the last twenty laps of the event before settling for a close second place finish.

Recording a third place finish in the event was 2010 Show Me 100 Champion, Ray Cook, from Brasstown, North Carolina. Cook continues to have, arguably, the most successful season of his career in his #53 Mastersbilt/Race Engine Design Racing Engine Super Late Model.

Pearson, Bloomquist and Cook have cumulatively used COMP Cams� products to power their way to feature wins in the last five LOLMDS events, and have won an incredible fourteen of the twenty-three tour events held this season.

Not only does COMP Cams� provide a majority of the LOLMDS drivers with products that allow their engines to perform at a top level, but the company also sponsors the tour�s COMP Cams� Engine Builder of the Year Award. COMP Cams� is committed to delivering top of the line products to competitors, while also providing sponsorship and support to all forms of motorsports.

COMP Cams MSRA Invade Louisiana and Arkansas Round Two

alindsey1 — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 13:56:45 GMT

Beebe, AR (07/10/10) � After losing both events last weekend to rain the COMP Cams MSRA Super Late Model tour will take a second attempt at the doubleheader this weekend, July 16th-17th, with events at Boothill Speedway (Greenwood, Louisiana) and 67 Speedway (Texarkana, Arkansas).

Last Friday over 30 Super Late Models crowded into the pits as the tour made its debut at Boothill Speedway in Greenwood, Louisiana. However, shortly after hot laps, heavy rain would arrive, which nixed the program. Saturday�s event at 67 Speedway in Texarkana, Arkansas was canceled early in the day due to excessive rain. With both events falling victim to rain, the decision was made to reschedule both programs for this weekend.

As the season approaches its midway point the point�s battle is starting to tighten as only 84 points separate the top five in the standings. Kyle Beard from Trumann, Arkansas is the current leader with Bill Frye (Arkansas), Jon Mitchell (Texas), Joey Mack (Missouri), and Jeff Floyd (Arkansas) in close pursuit.

The top drivers in the standings will be joined by a strong contingent of competitors this weekend, who will also be looking to make up ground in the point�s chase, including Brandon Smith, Shane Stephens, Eddie Provence, Charlie Cole, Terry Henson, Wesley Crutchfield, Jeff Sloan, Clay Fisher, Ross Camponovo, and more.

Brandon Smith continues to hold a narrow advantage in the Kuntz & Company Rookie of the Year battle over Shane Stephens.

The tour will make its second attempt to host its inaugural event at Boothill Speedway in Greenwood, Louisiana on Friday, July 17th with a $2,000 to win/$300 to start, 30 lap event. The tour is very excited to be visiting the storied oval, and a big crowd is expected to be on hand to catch all of the action. Pit gates open at 5pm with grandstand gates at 6pm. Grandstand admission for adults is $15 with senior citizens receiving admission for $12 and 12 years of age and under are free. Pit passes are $15.

On Saturday, the action will shift to 67 Speedway in Texarkana, Arkansas for the $2,000 to win/$400 to start, Cross Lander Summer Sizzler 40 on Saturday, July 10th. There will also be some of the COMP Cams MSRA Super Late Models on display at the Cross Lander of Texarkana dealership on Saturday from 11:00am to 2:00pm. The dealership is located at 3227 Summerhill Road in Texarkana, Texas. In addition A1 Salvage, Best Engines, and W&W Timber have signed on as associate sponsors for the event. The COMP Cams MSRA tour has already made one visit to the � mile oval in 2010, and it was Bill Frye winning a thriller.

Alex Yontz Becomes Seventh Winner in Seven Races

smogridge — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 14:32:51 GMT

May 30, 2010 Hendersonville, NC

NEWPORT � Coleman Pressley dove into turn 3 on the final lap of the UARA-Stars 150 at Newport Speedway as the race leader. When Pressley�s car finally emerged from turn 4, however, it was hooked to the back of a tow truck. Instead of coming home as the first repeat winner in the 2010 UARA season he will come home as the ARbodies Hard Luck Driver of the race.

[IMGrt=Alex Yontz ]http://www.cpgnation.com/filehost/files/10/a1.jpg[/IMGrt]

After 149 laps of rough-and-tumble racing on Saturday night, something broke under Pressley�s car, sending a machine that seemed destined for victory lane into a tailspin that ended against the outside wall.

That cleared the way for Alex Yontz, who became the UARA�s seventh different winner in the first seven races of the season. Yontz said the moment the No. 59 spun out about five car lengths in front of him, he could hardly believe his eyes. �We were all screaming over the radio,� he said. �I hate that for (Pressley), but we�ll take them any way we can get them.� Pressley had to settle for a disappointing 11th-place finish.

Yontz started fifth and did his best to save his brakes and tires until the end of the race.

He slowly worked his way toward the front, but with the laps winding down, he found himself locked in a fierce battle for second with Kyle Grissom as Pressley set sail.

By the time Yontz finally got around Grissom on lap 141, he thought he�d been a little too patient.

�When they said five to go, I thought we�d waited too long,� he said. Yontz was making up ground on Pressley, but when the No. 59 took the white flag, it seemed that time had run out on Yontz.

Then, in the blink of an eye, there was nothing but clean racetrack standing between Yontz and his first UARA-Stars victory of the season. Yontz� win gave DP performance engine the honors of being Comp Cams Engine Builder of the Race.

Grissom wound up finishing second after leading the first 101 laps of the race from the Sunoco Pole he had gained. Setting the pace in front of such an aggressive field, however, seemed to take a toll on Grissom�s No. 32 car as the race wore on. �When you�re out front here you just have to run so hard to keep people behind you,� Grissom said. �There at the end, it got loose and we were just trying to hang on.�

[IMGlft=3rd Battaliion 160th Special Operation Aviation Regiment]http://www.cpgnation.com/filehost/files/10/a2.jpg[/IMGlft]

Pressley finally took the lead on lap 102 by making a daring pass on Grissom�s high side. Although the bottom groove was the preferred path around the track, Pressley blazed his own trail and made it work.

�Coleman just kind of came out of nowhere there,� Grissom said. �Nobody could run the line he was running.�

Stephen Gahagan finished third in his first race of the season, which was an amazing feat after he started 15th. Gahagan said he saw his share of aggressive driving as he picked his way toward the front. �They just started racing real hard in front of me, bouncing off each other, and I just kept easing by them,� he said. Gahagan would bring home the G Force Shift of the Race award for his gain of 12 positions.

Scottie Hicks came across the line fourth behind Gahagan but after post race inspection Hicks was DQ�d. Brennan Poole and Scott Turlington would eventually round out the top five. Robert Johnson, son of NASCAR legend Junior Johnson, locked up an eighth-place finish awarding him his second Rookie of the Race Award of the season.

The UARA was extremely proud to have special guests on hand for the Memorial Weekend event. The 3rd Battalion 160th Special Operation Aviation Regiment �Airborne� Color Guard was on hand to present the nations colors prior to the singing of the national anthem. This extremely special group of young men just recently returned from Afghanistan and is nicknamed �The Night Stalkers�. They were just an awesome sight to watch and be comrades with throughout the day. When the UARA-STARS segment of the nights racing activities began they gave a very robust command for the drivers to start their engines. UARA chaplain Rev. Joe Louis gave them an inside out view of all the activities behind the scenes of a UARA race. Special thanks to Rev. Joe who had helped to make the appearance of these young men possible. Members of the group and their escorts were Rev. Cary Snelling, Betty Snelling, Randy Bermudez, Yamileth Bermudez, James Vaughan, Gregory Tracy, Timothy Williamson, Lakien Williamson and Bryan Holmes.

UARA 150 Lap Finish:

1. Alex Yontz

2. Kyle Grissom

3. Stephen Gahagan

TCI� To Sponsor 2010 Car Craft Summer Nationals Burnout Contest

smogridge — Mon, 17 May 2010 15:14:09 GMT

TCI� supports hot rodders with popular Burnout Contest at Car Craft Summer Nationals

TCI� will be sponsoring the popular 2010 Car Craft Summer Nationals Burnout Contest on July 16-18 at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in St. Paul, MN. The contest is a two day event in and of itself with a crowd of 15,000 muscle car lovers watching contestants create huge clouds of smoke and lay down thick layers of burnt rubber. In addition to the smoking burnouts and the over 4,000 cars on display at the Car Craft Summer Nationals, the COMP Performance Group� trailer will be on-site with full-size displays, literature and apparel while technicians for all CPG companies will be on-hand to answer questions.

It�s fitting that TCI� sponsors the Burnout Contest as the drivetrain leader has recently expanded its line of Burn-Out (Roll Stop�) Kits, including a kit for the 2010 Camaro with more applications on the way. If you�re looking for a monster burnout, a TCI� RollStop� provides the extra control you need. When installed in-line with the vehicle's front brakes, the RollStop� allows the front wheels to lock, helping to hold the car in the staging beams and the burnout box.

The TCI� RollStops� are waterproof and manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminum for high strength and durability. The precision solenoid valve can withstand up to 3,000 psi of pressure and is designed to draw only one amp of current. RollStop� Kits are easy to use and come with everything needed for a quick, two hour installation.

The first of four scheduled 2010 XFI� Training Classes held by FAST� and EFI University of Temecula, California, was a huge success. The sold-out, one-day event covered basic and advanced techniques for setting up and tuning the FAST� XFI� Fuel Injection System. Over the course of the day, students were given an in-depth look at everything from phasing the distributor to gaining an advantage at the track with the optional XFI� Intelligent Traction Control� feature.

The class�s open format allowed for plenty of questions and lots of time for discussions in which everyone could take part. From seasoned engine builders to tuning novices, every student learned something new. The course was taught by accomplished EFI instructor, racer and tuning guru Brian Macy and the FAST� technical support staff.

�When I heard FAST was offering a class on their system with EFI University, I jumped at the chance to go. As an amateur, I expected the class to be over my head. Even though most of the people there were professional tuners and racers, I found the instructors presented the material in a very understandable manner. I came away from the class with a high degree of confidence that I understood the XFI� system. I would highly recommend this class to anyone − amateur or professional. This is an excellent class.�

−Cliff Lawrence

In addition to the priceless information gained, everyone who attended received a free goodie bag with a FAST� shirt, a copy of the course materials and other giveaways. Every student was also entered in a raffle for two special prizes. Pete Tyer won an Analog Wide-Band Air/Fuel Gauge Kit, and Richard Egge walked away with a Digital Gasoline Air/Fuel Meter.

The next FAST� XFI� Fuel Injection Training Course will be held at Westech Performance in Mira Loma, California, on June 26th. The Memphis class sold out early, and the Mira Loma one is filling up quickly, too. Reserve your place today if you want to attend. Registration is $495.00, but time is running out and space is limited.

In addition to the June 26th Westech event, there will also be a special, media-only class on Friday, June 25th also held at the Mira Loma facility. Interested media members should contact Ashley Ledlow at 901-795-2400 ext. 729 to check on availability.

COMP Cams� Introduces Custom Cam Cores For GM LS Applications

jjamros — Fri, 14 May 2010 19:33:58 GMT

Valve train technology leader introduces new custom cam cores for GM LS engines − including 60mm Bearing Journal, Wide Lobe Separation & AFM applications

As of late, GM has given the LS performance enthusiasts plenty of reasons to be excited. Larger 60mm bearing journals, wider lobe separation angles and even the new Active Fuel Management have each brought something new to the performance table. And, to help squeeze out the maximum power in each of these applications, COMP Cams� is now introducing a new line of custom cam cores for several unique LS engines.

Included are three unique series: GM LS Active Fuel Management (AFM) Cores, Wide Lobe Separation Cores and 60mm Bearing Journal Cores. The AFM Cores are designed as replacement cams that maximize the performance of street LS engines that are 100% compatible with AFM or Variable Valve Timing (VVT) AFM. Next, the Wide Lobe Separation LS Cores target boosted and emissions sensitive applications and can handle a lobe separation anywhere from 118� all the way up to 124�! Finally, the 60mm Bearing Journal LS Cores feature a larger base circle for lower pressure angles (less side loading on the lifters), a stiffer core and a lower rocker arm ratio to reduce stress in valve train components in race applications.

Every cam using any of these steel billet cores will be custom ground for each specific application and can include options such as gun drilling. These race-quality cores are kept on-hand for quick delivery. All COMP Cams� cam cores employ the latest technology in camshaft design. For more information on the new COMP Cams GM LS Cam Cores or any other COMP Cams� product, call us at 1-800-999-0853, or visit us online at www.compcams.com.

Quarter Master� Products Are The Choice Of The Nation�s Top Oval Track Racers

smogridge — Thu, 06 May 2010 21:00:27 GMT

Whether it is dirt or asphalt racing, the country�s top circle track racers rely on Quarter Master� driveline products to power them to the front of the pack

Founded in 1958, Quarter Master� has a long history of producing high performance, state-of-the-art driveline products that range from clutches to drive shafts to made-to-order products. Circle track racers take advantage of both the quality and variety of products that the company has to offer, and the results are indisputable.

Asphalt racers have been using Quarter Master� products for over 50 years. Just ask Quarter Master� customer Mike Stefanik from Wilbraham, Massachusetts, who has competed in nearly every division that NASCAR� has to offer and has accumulated over ten national championships to show for his efforts. Or talk to Curt Spaulding from Hartford, Michigan, who has used the driveline accessories to truly push the performance envelope. He set the 3/8 mile, asphalt speed record on September 19th, 2009 at Kalamazoo Speedway in Kalamazoo, Michigan, by turning a blazing lap of 10.217 seconds at over 132 mph, which lowered the previous record by nearly half of a second.

Another asphalt circle track racer who has enjoyed success with Quarter Master� support is Birmingham, Alabama racer, Augie Grill. Grill, who comes from a family with deep racing roots, has etched his name in the history books as the winner of some of Asphalt Late Model racing�s top events. He was the 2007 and 2008 winner of the Snowball Derby at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida, which is widely regarded as the top asphalt short track event in the nation, as well as collected multiple feature wins throughout the southeast.

Travis Irvington from Fullerton, California, also competes in the Asphalt Late Model division and has experienced great success with the aid of the driveline company. The former national champion go-kart racer made a lot of noise in the Asphalt Late Model division on the west coast in 2009. He picked up wins at tracks such as the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Bullring and Toyota Speedway in Irwindale, California. Irvington also raced into multiple top five finishes against stout fields of competitors.

While Quarter Master� has enjoyed a great deal of success on asphalt, the company has also experienced an equal amount of success with racers in the dirt track world. Five-time MARS Dirt Late Model champion Bill Frye from Greenbriar, Arkansas, has trusted the integrity of Quarter Master� products to power into championship form throughout his career. In addition to his national titles, Frye has also accumulated hundreds of feature wins across the country in both the Dirt Late Model and Dirt Open Wheel Modified ranks.

Veteran racer, Bart Hartman from Zanesville, Ohio, used Quarter Master� driveline components to win the most prestigious Dirt Late Model race of the year in 2009 when he picked up the coveted World 100 crown at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio. The former dirt track world champion picked up a total of seven wins in 2009, with the Pittsburgher 100 Championship also to his credit.

Brian Birkhofer from Muscatine, Iowa, set the Dirt Late Model world on fire in 2009 as he wreaked total havoc across the country by picking up wins in several national events. He also had success in several crown jewel events, including the annual Show Me 100 at West Plains Motor Speedway (West Plains, Missouri) and the Diamond Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway (Wheatland, Missouri). And over the past few years Batesville, Arkansas, driver Jared Landers, has emerged onto the national scene in the Dirt Open Wheel Modified ranks. In 2009 the young driver found amazing success in the Winternationals at Volusia Speedway Park by winning an incredible 80% of the races. He backed up his 2009 performance by winning the $5,000 finale of the 2010 Winternationals. Both of these drivers proudly use Quarter Master� products in their racing efforts.

Terry Phillips from Springfield, Missouri, has been utilizing Quarter Master� products in his race cars for several years. Whether it�s in his Dirt Late Model or his Dirt Open Wheel Modified, Phillips is always at the front of the pack. He has accumulated national titles in both the MARS Dirt Late Model and the MLRA Dirt Late Model tours.

With over 50 years of experience in designing and producing the best performing driveline accessories in the world, Quarter Master� eagerly looks ahead to an even bigger and brighter future. The company plans to continue pushing the envelope for producing unmatched, high performance products for circle track racers, as well as making a big return to the drag racing world in the near future. It�s clear that if you want to ensure winning performance from your driveline products, you need to join the Quarter Master� team today!

Greg Alexander Leads The Way On The COMP Cams� Road To The Nationals

aledlow — Mon, 03 May 2010 15:53:42 GMT

After making a clean sweep of the 2009 COMP Cams� Grass Root Nationals at Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Arkansas, Greg Alexander has already established himself as the man to beat in the 2010 rendition of the event

Four years ago COMP Cams� Director of Marketing, Chris Douglas, conceptualized a special event that would highlight the true grass root racers. Douglas recognized that there were plenty of specials in the dirt racing world that focused on Sprint Cars and Late Models, but few if any that focused on the Street Stock division. As a result, Douglas, along with Ben Shelton of MidSouthRacing.com, developed a unique event that was tabbed as the COMP Cams� Grass Root Nationals at Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Arkansas. The cornerstone of the event was the Street Stock division, which competed for a purse that was double their normal payout, including a $1,000 first place prize. Time trials, a dash for cash, heat races, b-mains, driver introductions and a primetime feature event were all held for the Street Stocks. They responded with a count in excess of 40 cars and a feature event that went caution free with two and three wide racing throughout the field.

Over the next few years the event grew by leaps and bounds in terms of support. As a result, for the fourth edition of the event, in 2010, COMP Cams� decided to take the concept to the next level. The end result was a whole new program that included a pair of qualifying events throughout the year and a grand finale slated for September 18th at Riverside International Speedway. The grand finale was dubbed the COMP Cams� Memphis Nationals, and a purse that more than tripled the total weekly purse of the Street Stock division was attached with a $1,500 to win/$100 to start payout. Appropriately, the qualifying events were coined the COMP Cams� Road To The Nationals Qualifiers, with each event posting $500 to win plus the guarantee that the winner would be granted a provisional starting position for the September finale.

The first COMP Cams� Road To The Nationals Qualifier was held on Saturday, April 10th, 2010 and a strong contingent of Street Stock competitors entered the event. When the checkered flag finally dropped, it was Blytheville, Arkansas driver, Greg Alexander, who stood atop the winner�s podium. Alexander, who was the 2009 COMP Cams� Grass Root Nationals Champion, claimed a $500 cash prize and a guaranteed provisional in the September COMP Cams� Memphis Nationals for his efforts. Josh Ray of Southaven, Mississippi, and Neil Brown from Lexington, Tennessee, rounded out the top three finishers. The next COMP Cams� Road To The Nationals Qualifier will be held on Saturday, June 19th, and it will offer another $500 top prize as well as a guaranteed starting spot in the COMP Cams� Memphis Nationals.

Brennan Poole Claims His First UARA-STARS Victory

smogridge — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 15:56:45 GMT

On a day full of drama Brennan Poole brings home his first UARA victory and he did it in style. The day began with officials discovering that the timing loop was cut in two an hour before the first round of practice began. Kerry Bodenhamer, UARA president goes to work in a rush and gets the loop fixed and the practice begins. Chris Lawson shows his strength with fast times in the first session of practice and Clint King shows the way for the second round.[IMGrt=Brennan Poole and Miss UARA Jessica Presnell]http://www.cpgnation.com/filehost/files/10/1111.jpg[/IMGrt]

The drama of the day continues as officials are informed at 5:19 that they have no announcer in place. Cars are on the line to qualify and Wink is running timing. She gets the qualifying in process and is quick to the draw and calls Tony Stevens who had texted her earlier in the day that he was coming to watch the event. Stevens agrees to be the announcer of the night and does a fantastic job. Jim Carson of Late Model Digest announced during the qualifying rounds until Stevens could get to the track.

Stevens had posted on his face book page at 5:44 p.m. �Just got the equivalent of a 911 call for a race event. Hauling a-- to the racetrack as we speak. Lol�

The fun loving Carolina Vintage racers are the first to take to the track. Susan Kimel will take the checker for them followed by Ed Ritchey, Doug Howell, Wayne Hearn, Joe Evans, Ray Sams, Don Moore, Jim Ivey, Howard Scruggs, John Hildebran and Jim Ivey Jr. Ed Ritchey led the first 13 laps. Kimel who started seventh picked off competitor after competitor and took the lead from Ritchey on lap 14 and would remain there until the end.

Second to take to the grid will be the Street Stock/Renegade drivers. Josh Burchette took the lead on the first lap and lead flag to flag. Charlie Watson was running second in the beginning but was overtaken by Waylon Flynn on lap 5. It would end with Burchette victor, followed by Flynn, Watson, Jim Mayberry, Kevin Eby, Greg Austin and David Smith.

The UARA-STARS go green at 8:50 and the action is powerful throughout the field.

Kyle Grissom had the Sunoco Pole at 16.325 but was quickly overtaken by outside pole setter Jamie Yelton on the first lap. Caution flies right off the git go as the car of Garrett Campbell spins in the first turn. Campbell will continue on but will be penalized for passing the pace car in his run to the pits to be checked out by crew. Ty Dillon will head to the pits with the front end of his car a mangled mess. Dillon will run a few laps but his night will end early with only 28 laps completed. Campbell will manage to finish the night three laps behind the leader.

Jamie Yelton would keep control of the field but not without pressure from Kyle Grissom and fellow teammate Poole. Grissom would maintain second for a short while as he and Poole battle back and forth for the first ten laps. Poole now has Yelton in his sights and it is a thrilling show to see mentor and student racing neck and neck. Poole will overtake Yelton on lap 29 and will not look back.

[IMGlft=Yelton Taking The Lead]http://www.cpgnation.com/filehost/files/10/Yelton%20Taking%20the%20Lead.jpg[/IMGlft]The action was fierce all within the pack the whole night long keeping the fans on the edge of their seats to see what will be the next move and by whom.

The final few laps show Poole in the lead followed by Grissom but it was the side by side fender rubbing action between Coleman Pressley and Chris Lawson that had the fans in turmoil. In the end it would be Lawson by a nose.

Rookie of the race Matt Kurzejewski finally got that monkey off his back and brought home a respectable 8th place finish. Kurzejewski had been plagued with three engine failures in a row. Kurzejewski beat fellow rookies Ronnie Bassett, Jr. who finished 9th and Robert Johnson in 10th. It was a great night for these young guns.

Their was a total of five cautions throughout the night. The most interesting came on lap 119 when former UARA champion Lee Tissot had a flat tire. It was discovered that in the style of Daytona 2010 the track was coming up in the middle of turns three and four. The field was put in the red flag mode while the track crew placed a patch to fill the hole.

It was an awesome night of racing but the drama for the UARA didn�t end with the race.

One race fan that thought they had found the ultimate parking spot at the cross over gate was not so happy with that spot when they returned to their car. It appears that a piece of the race track that had come up went thru their rear windshield. Guess the old saying holds true: �If it looks to good to be true, it is.�

The final drama for the UARA staff occurred on the return trip back to Hendersonville.

One of the trucks broke down suffering a short in the electronic system. After delivering trailer one to the home base, Sam Watts (UARA pace car driver) unhooks the first trailer from that truck and returns to the side of the interstate between mile 53 and 55 to retrieve the other trailer. The fallen truck is nursed to the next exit to be attended to Saturday. After a very long day the staff are all safely home by 4 am. Whew this will be a night for the records books.

Coleman Pressley will receive the G Force Shift of the Race award after coming from a 19th

place start to his 4th place finish. Lee Tissot will receive the ARbodies Hard Luck Award due to his encounter with the hole in the track and Kevin Blanks will receive the Comp Cams Engine Builder of the Race Award.

COMP Cams� & Quarter Master� Sponsor Show-Me 100 Race Of Champions

smogridge — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 21:21:24 GMT

COMP Cams� and Quarter Master� have joined forces to rejuvenate the Race of Champions at the 18th Annual Show-Me 100 at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri

When racers and race fans think about the crown jewel events of Dirt Late Model racing, a select handful of races comes to mind. Of those select few, one in particular stands out: the annual Show-Me 100, which has been a Memorial Day mainstay for nearly twenty years. The brainchild of Don and Billie Gibson, the event was brought to life in 1993 at West Plains Motor Speedway in West Plains, Missouri. Over the next 17 years, the race grew to be a must-see event as each year it drew fans and racers from across the nation. However, at the end of the 2009 season the Gibson family announced that due to health issues, their facility would be closed and the coveted event would be relocated for 2010 to Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri.

For the 2010 edition of the Show-Me 100, many facets of the event will remain the same. However, there will be some major changes for the event, which will be held on May 27-29, 2010. First and foremost will be the obvious venue change from West Plains Motor Speedway to the �Diamond in the Dirt,� Lucas Oil Speedway. The facility, which is located approximately one hour north of Springfield, Missouri, is a true showplace of speed and glamour. For the second straight year, the Lucas Oil Dirt Late Model Series (LODLMS) will sanction the event, and SPEED TV cameras will be on hand to record all of the racing action for a delayed broadcast.

After going on hiatus in 2009 due to a lack of sponsorship, the Race of Champions has been resurrected by COMP Cams� and Quarter Master�. This special race takes place during the weekend of the Show-Me 100 and sends all former champions of the race into a no holds barred, 12 lap battle that boasts a purse in excess of $2,000 and, more importantly, bragging rights. Eligible drivers for the COMP Cams� Race of Champions Presented by Quarter Master� include Billy Moyer, Scott Bloomquist, Rick Aukland, Freddy Smith, Terry Phillips, Ray Cook, Wendell Wallace and Brian Birkhofer, who is the defending Show-Me 100 Champion.

In addition to sponsoring the Race of Champions, COMP Cams� will once again co-host an Engine Builder Luncheon on Saturday afternoon, May 29th, at the Lucas Oil Speedway. Finally, there will be COMP Cams� and Quarter Master� technicians on hand throughout the weekend to assist customers and answer any questions.

The COMP Cams� and Quarter Master� support of Dirt Late Model racing is also evident by their season-long involvement with the series. COMP Cams� sponsors the COMP Cams� Engine Builder of the Year program with the tour, while Quarter Master� is the title sponsor on the Quarter Master� Rookie of the Year award.

TCI� Custom Torque Converter & Transmission Building

aledlow — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 20:39:16 GMT

Transmission technology leader offers custom built torque converters & transmissions at no additional cost and with quick turnaround

Custom Torque Converter

While off-the-shelf transmissions and torque converters are fine for many people, demanding racers and street performance enthusiasts require a more precise fit. Custom built and tuned TCI� transmissions and torque converters provide the most accurate match possible for the specific needs of your high performance application.

TCI� technicians can help tune a custom built unit for your specific application with no added cost to you. This means a more ideal stall range that is perfectly fit to your needs for better reaction times and ETs. Customized torque converters and transmissions maximize performance and can also help lower rpm at cruising speed for better street drivability and increased transmission life.

TCI� implements strict quality control �triple check� procedures that are performed on every transmission and torque converter that ships from its facility, including custom built units. Transmissions undergo valve body and internal hydraulic testing, as well as Axiline dyno testing that runs each unit through automatic gear selection and testing for proper shifting sequences and features. Torque converters also undergo rigorous triple testing of their own, including run-out and leak testing, as well as computer balancing. Each transmission and converter is then shipped with an assessment document so the customer will know exactly how it operates.

Transmission Testing

One final feature included in all TCI� transmissions and torque converters is the proprietary HDT (Heat Dissipating Technology�) Coating�. HDT Coating� is a metallic gray coating that enables converters and transmissions to operate at lower temperatures and cool down faster to provide greater efficiency and longevity.

There is no additional fee for a custom built and tuned TCI� transmission or torque converter. However, installing certain customized or upgraded parts into the converter or transmission, in order to attain even higher performance, will add additional cost. For more information about the TCI� Custom Transmission and Torque Converter Build Program or any other TCI� product, call us at 1-888-776-9824, or visit us online at www.tciauto.com.

COMP Cams� & Quarter Master� Visible In Short Track Racing Reality Shows

jjamros — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 19:45:06 GMT

As short track reality shows gain popularity in mainstream television, COMP Cams� and Quarter Master� visibility grows.

Over the past few years, with several of the top national and international sanctioning bodies in motorsports struggling to maintain popularity, cable television providers have begun searching other motorsport realms for new media outlets that will produce ratings. These searches have struck gold with the rediscovery of grass roots racing.

The floodgates opened when the History Channel aired the smash-hit weekly TV series, Madhouse, which follows the lives and happenings of asphalt grass roots racers at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston Salem, North Carolina. The show has attracted the attention of millions of people across the nation and has gone a long way to educate the general public about the entertainment value of their own local race tracks.

Madhouse has paved the way for the birth of other short track reality shows, including the recently announced Dirt Knights, which will be shown on the VERSUS network beginning in January 2011. Dirt Knights will follow several competitors within the USMTS Open Wheel Modified Tour, which sanctions major dirt track events across the nation.

While Madhouse profiles asphalt racers, Dirt Knights will obviously be following the lives of five dirt track racers. Typically, a strong dividing line can be found between fans of asphalt and dirt track racing, as each claim their track surface preference to be the superior proving-ground. But no matter the track type race fans prefer, there is no denying that the increase in television coverage of short track racing in general is leading to the growth and resurgence of a sport that has not been immune to recent economic issues. The publicity is attracting new fans and sponsors to the sport at a time when they are needed more than ever.

While the on and off track action is principally what fills the weekly content of these shows, the on air presence of COMP Cams� and Quarter Master� has become increasingly noticeable. Whether it is through direct visuals of these companies� products, racer testimonials or just simply decals that viewers happen to see, COMP Cams� and Quarter Master� have a strong presence in grass roots racing; in fact, both companies initially were started to provide parts to local small track racers. And despite today�s involvement of these companies in major racing groups, such as NASCAR, COMP Cams� and Quarter Master� employees are quick to mention that local racers are still the fuel that keeps these companies churning. After all, without local racers and local race tracks, there are no proving grounds for the future superstars of motorsports to hone their driving skills.

Billy Moyer Jr. Wins Again in COMP Cams MSRA Action At Riverside

smogridge — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 20:09:07 GMT

(04/10/10) � In 2009, Billy Moyer Jr. picked up his first ever special event win at Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Arkansas, and on Saturday night he returned to the scene of the crime and made a repeat performance in COMP Cams MSRA Super Late Model action.

Twenty-five Super Late Models, representing five states, were on hand on Saturday night at Riverside International Speedway, where a great racing surface greeted the competitors. Joey Mack from Benton, Missouri powered his #97m Rocket Chassis to a heat race win and along the way accumulated the most passing points to earn the JFR Graphics Pole Position for the $2,000 to win, 40 lap feature. East Prairie, Missouri driver, Jeff Sloan joined Mack on the front row.

As the green flag flew Mack bolted to the lead with Jeff Floyd, Billy Moyer Jr., Jamie Dacus, and Sloan in tow. The first caution flag of the event would fly on lap 3 as Dewaine Hottinger slowed with a flat tire after contact with another competitor. At the time of the caution the top five running order consisted of Mack, Floyd, Moyer Jr., Dacus, and Sloan.

On the ensuing restart, Moyer Jr. would move past Floyd for the second spot as he set his sights on the leader. Three laps later, Moyer Jr. would pull even with Mack for the top spot and would finally take the lead exiting turn four on the sixth circuit. As Moyer Jr. took possession of the top spot, Mack and Floyd began battling side by side for the second spot, and by lap 9, Floyd would make the runner-up position his own.

The leaders would encounter lapped traffic by lap 10, which allowed Floyd to close in on Moyer Jr. Moyer Jr. would narrowly avoid disaster exiting turn four on lap 11, when he attempted to lap Jon Kirby on the lowside as Kirby tried to turn into the infield. After minimal contact Moyer Jr. would recover, but not before Jeff Floyd raced past him for the lead. The top duo would continue to navigate heavy traffic, and on lap 16 Moyer Jr. would find his way back to the lead as Floyd slipped to the second spot with Dacus and Mack battling for the third spot.

The race would continue to endure a long green flag run until Cody Caldwell brought out the caution on lap 25. As the field prepared for what would be the final restart, the top five running order consisted of Moyer Jr., Floyd, Dacus, Mack, and Jon Mitchell. On the restart, Floyd�s hopes for victory would go up in smoke as the powerplant expired in his entry sending him to the infield. With Floyd pitside, Dacus moved up to second, but Moyer Jr. had already begun to drive away from the field. With Moyer Jr. enjoying a comfortable lead, a man on the move was 16th starting Kyle Beard, who was up to the 6th position by lap 30. Over the next few laps he would get to the 4th position.

The remainder of the event would go caution free with Billy Moyer Jr. picking up his second win of the weekend, and fourth career COMP Cams MSRA Super Late Model win. Jamie Dacus, Joey Mack, Kyle Beard, and Austin Rettig rounded out the top five finishers.

Heat races were won by Joey Mack, Jeff Sloan, Billy James, and Jeff Floyd. Cody Caldwell and Kyle Beard topped the twin b-mains.

Kyle Beard was the Larry Shaw Race Cars Hard Charger after advancing from his 16th starting spot to an 4th place finish.

The Quartermaster Hard Luck Award went to Jeff Floyd, who saw his chances of victory go up in smoke when his motor expired on lap 27.

The COMP Cams Top Performer was Billy Moyer Jr.

The COMP Cams MSRA Super Late Model tour will take a week off from racing before returning to action on Friday, April 23rd at Malden Speedway in Malden, Missouri before moving to I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Arkansas on Saturday, April 24th.

COMP Cams� Dirt Late Model Customers Sit Atop National Points

CPG Marketing — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 15:52:01 GMT

COMP Cams� customers, Scott Bloomquist (LODLMS) and Brady Smith (WOOLMS), lead the national point standings in their respective Dirt Late Model sanctioning bodies

It may only be March, and there may still be several months of events remaining on the dusty trail for the top Dirt Late Model tours, but two COMP Cams� customers have already established themselves as the front runners in the nation�s top sanctioning bodies.

After a superb Speedweeks performance, Scott Bloomquist leads the Lucas Oil Dirt Late Model Series (LODLMS) point standings. Behind the wheel of his #0 Bloomquist race car with Jay Dickens power, Scott has been burning up the track with a total of three wins and no worse than a sixth place finish thus far in this season of LODLMS action.

While Bloomquist has been setting the pace in LODLMS action, several other COMP Cams� customers are in hot pursuit of the points leader. Don O�Neal currently has his #71, Jay Dickens powered, Dirt Late Model sitting second in the standings on the heels of a $12,000 win at East Bay Raceway Park (Tampa, Florida). Other COMP Cams� customers in the thick of the points battle include Ray Cook (Race Engine Design), Dale McDowell (Earnhardt/Childress Engines), Jimmy Owens (Cornett Engines), Dennis Erb Jr. (Vic Hill Engines), and Steve Casebolt (Cornett Engines).

At the top of the World of Outlaws Dirt Late Model tour standings sits Brady Smith, from Solon Springs, Wisconsin. After battling stellar fields of over 65 entries a night, Smith emerged from the Speedweeks� events at Volusia Speedway Park (Barberville, Florida) as the man to beat for the coveted WOOLMS title in his #2 Bloomquist Race Car (Vic Hill powered Dirt Late Model). Smith served notice to his fellow competitors that he means business in 2010 by finishing third in the WOOLMS opener, before charging to a dominant, $10,000 win in the second event of the season.

Much like Bloomquist with the LODLMS, Smith will be a marked man in every event this year, as he faces a strong contingent of COMP Cams� customers hungry for the WOOLMS title. Smith�s adversaries will be led by fellow COMP Cams� customer, Josh Richards, who was the 2009 WOOLMS Champion in his #1 Rocket Chassis/Cornett Racing Engine entry. Other COMP Cams� competitors hungry for the title include Tim McCreadie (Pro Power Engine), Rick Eckert (Jay Dickens Engine), Austin Hubbard (Cornett Race Engine), Steve Francis (Custom Race Engine), and Darrell Lanigan (Cornett Race Engine).
