Billy Moyer Caps Off Speedweeks with Pair of Volusia Triumphs!

(BATESVILLE, ARKANSAS) The Billy Moyer Racing (BMR) team spent the majority of the month of February in the states of Georgia and Florida for "Speedweeks 2012." In all, Billy Moyer entered eleven Dirt Late Model events during his stint down south and reached victory lane on two different occasions. In addition to those two trips to victory lane at the Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Florida, the Batesville, Arkansas Hall of Famer also recorded four additional Top Five performances.

As mentioned, both of Billy's wins came during the annual 'UNOH DIRTcar Nationals' last week at Volusia. On Tuesday, February 21, Billy led flag-to-flag in the 30-lap UMP main event to capture the $7,000 top prize over Darrell Lanigan, Steve Francis, Rick Eckert, and Dennis Erb, Jr. In the 50-lap 'UNOH DIRTcar Nationals' finale on Saturday, February 25, Billy started ninth on the grid and drove to the front of the talented field to grab the lead on lap 32. He then led the remainder of the distance to pocket $10,000 over Don O'Neal, Shane Clanton, Darrell Lanigan, and Steve Francis!

Other Top Five finishes included a second on February 11 at the Waycross Motor Speedway in Waycross, Georgia, a third on February 12 at the Golden Isles Speedway in Brunswick, Georgia, a fourth on February 17 at the Bubba Raceway Park in Ocala, Florida, and another fourth on February 20 at the Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Florida.

"I am pretty pleased with how everything went during Speedweeks," commented Moyer earlier this week. "Aside from a few nights where we had problems, the car performed exceptional every night. The talent level down there was just off the charts, especially during the last week at Volusia when they had close to eighty cars. So, to win there twice with basically a World 100 field was really a great way to put an exclamation mark on Speedweeks!"

The famed #21 team is scheduled to take the upcoming March 2-4 weekend off from Dirt Late Model competition, but will return to action on March 9-10. Billy is scheduled to invade the ArkLaTex Speedway in Vivan, Louisiana next weekend for the 'Pelican 100.' The unsanctioned, two-day show will pay $10,000 to the winner.

(YORK, PENNSYLVANIA) The Rick Eckert Racing team returned home this week following a strong start to their 2012 season during "Speedweeks." In all, Rick Eckert competed in ten Dirt Late Model events in Georgia and Florida from February 10-25, with six of those races sanctioned by the World of Outlaws Late Model Series. Rick was consistently fast throughout "Speedweeks" and accumulated one victory, four Top Five finishes, and seven Top Ten performances.

His big win came in WOOLMS action on Saturday, February 18 at the Bubba Raceway Park in Ocala, Florida. Following a heat race victory, the York, Pennsylvania standout grabbed the top spot on lap 44 and survived a wild 60-lap race to claim the hefty $12,000 winner's check over Josh Richards, Darrell Lanigan, Shane Clanton, and Pat Doar. Rick also claimed a podium finish in World of Outlaws competition during his season opener at the Screven Motor Speedway in Sylvania, Georgia when he finished a strong third in the $20,000 to win 'Winter Freeze.'

Other strong runs for "Scrub" came early last week in the 'UNOH DIRTcar Nationals' at the Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Florida. Rick notched a third place effort in the $7,000 to win UMP opener at VSP, while he finished a solid fourth the next night at the Daytona Beach area speedplant. All of Rick's results are posted below, but you can read a detailed race-by-race recap from Georgia and Florida by logging onto www.RickEckertRacing.com.

February 10-11 | Screven (GA) Motor Speedway, WoO | $20,000 to win (3rd)

February 16 | Bubba (FL) Raceway Park, WoO | $8,000 to win (10th)

February 17 | Bubba (FL) Raceway Park, WoO | $10,000 to win (11th)

February 18 | Bubba (FL) Raceway Park, WoO | $12,000 to win (1ST)

February 20 | Volusia (FL) Speedway Park, UMP | $7,000 to win (3rd)

February 21 | Volusia (FL) Speedway Park, UMP | $7,000 to win (4th)

February 22 | Volusia (FL) Speedway Park, UMP | $7,000 to win (Rain)

February 23 | Volusia (FL) Speedway Park, WoO | $10,000 to win (7th)

February 24 | Volusia (FL) Speedway Park, UMP | $7,000 to win (19th)

February 24 | Volusia (FL) Speedway Park, UMP | $10,000 to win (10th)

February 25 | Volusia (FL) Speedway Park, WoO | $10,000 to win (12th)

"It was a good trip for us and a nice way to start out our season," exclaimed Eckert from his race shop this week. "That ($12,000) win at Ocala was definitely the highlight of our Speedweeks, but we had some other strong runs down there as well at Screven and Volusia. As far as World of Outlaws points go, you can't win the championship down there, but you can come pretty close to losing it. Especially with six point races this year, it was critical to stay out of trouble and post some solid finishes. Fortunately, we were able to come out of Speedweeks fourth in points and that at least keeps us in contention to compete for another title."

The #24 team is scheduled to take the better part of a month off from Dirt Late Model competition before entering the next World of Outlaws Late Model Series showdown on March 30-31 in the Land of Lincoln. The Farmer City Raceway in Farmer City, Illinois will play host to the annual 'Illini 100' at the end of the month and a whopping $20,000 payday is on the line. Rick will come into the 1/4-mile fairgrounds oval fourth in the WOOLMS point standings. Additional information on the 'Illini 100' can be viewed by clicking on www.WorldofOutlaws.com.

Rick would like to thank the following sponsors for their commitment to his race team: In Loving Memory of Raye Vest, J&K Salvage, Ritchey Sandblasting, Bloomquist Race Cars, Jay Dickens Racing Engines, Eckert Trucking, S&S Mobile Power Wash, Allstar Performance, Arizona Sport Shirts, Awesome Racewear, Bell Helmets, Beyea Headers, Callies, Comp Cams, Delph Communications, Dyer's Top Rods, FK Rod Ends, Heintz Bros.

Dennis Erb, Jr. Collects Pair of $10,000 Victories and Two Championships During Speedweeks!

(CARPENTERSVILLE, ILLINOIS) The Dennis Erb Racing team kicked-off their 2012 racing season with a bang during "Speedweeks" in Georgia and Florida in recent weeks. Dennis Erb, Jr. entered thirteen Dirt Late Model events at three southern venues from February 11-25. In two week's time, Dennis turned the heads of the entire industry by racking up two victories, eight Top Five finishes, and eleven Top Ten performances. By virtue of those consistent runs, Dennis was awarded both the DART Winternationals Point Championship at the East Bay Raceway Park in Gibsonton, Florida and the Championship of Late Model Week at the Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Florida!

Both of Dennis' trips to victory lane during "Speedweeks" were worth $10,000 to the #28 team. On Friday, February 17, Dennis was involved in an early incident at East Bay, pitted for new rubber, and stormed back through the talented field from the tail. He eventually grabbed the top spot from Randy Korte with only two circuits remaining in the 50-lapper and went on to the exciting Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win over Korte, Tyler Reddick, Jonathan Davenport, and Donnie Moran. Dennis' other triumph came on Thursday, February 23 in a World of Outlaws Late Model Series showdown at Volusia. The Carpentersville, Illinois ace won his heat race and later beat Scott Bloomquist, Chub Frank, Steve Francis, and Jimmy Owens to the checkers in the 50-lap event.

All of Dennis' results from "Speedweeks" are noted below. However, a detailed race-by-race recap from Georgia and Florida can be read by logging onto www.DennisErb.com.

February 25 | Volusia (FL) Speedway Park, WoO | $10,000 to win (7th)

"Our year could not have gotten off to a better start," stated Erb this week following his return to the Land of Lincoln. "We were fast right out of the box at Waycross and it continued right through East Bay and Volusia. It is no secret that we didn't have the year we wanted to have last year in the Bloomquist cars, but we worked hard over the off-season and it really paid off during Speedweeks. We'll freshen everything up the best we can over the next week or so here at the shop before heading back down south to Boyd's and Cleveland."

Following the ultra-successful stint down south, the #28 team will take the upcoming March 2-4 weekend off from Dirt Late Model competition. They will not stay away from the track for long, as Dennis plans to return back to action over the March 9-10 weekend. On Friday night, the Boyd's Speedway in Ringgold, Georgia will play host to a $5,000 to win, unsanctioned event. The doubleheader will then conclude on Saturday evening at the historic Cleveland Speedway in Cleveland, Tennessee. The Southern Allstars Dirt Racing Series (SAS) will sanction the annual running of the 'Shamrock' at Cleveland and a $10,000 payday awaits the winner.

Jason Hughes Scores Second Win of 2012

Westville, Oklahoma (3/01/12) – Jason Hughes piloted his #12 West Siloam Pawn/Gressel Racing/Hughes/Mullins Race Engines Open Wheel Modified to his second win of the season on Friday night during the 3rd Annual Texas Spring Nationals.

After being delayed a week by rain the 3rd Annual Texas Spring Nationals opener was finally held on Thursday night at Royal Purple Raceway (Baytown, Texas). Sixty-two competitors registered for action in the $2,000-to-win event, which was sanctioned by the Casey's General USMTS tour. In heat race action Hughes advanced from his ninth starting spot to a fourth place finish, which left him short of a transfer to the main event, but locked him into the pole-starting-spot for a b-main. In the b-main Hughes would storm to the win to lock into the 16th starting spot for the 40 lap feature. In the main event Hughes mounted a great charge through the field as he advanced eleven spots on his way to a fifth place finish behind race winner, Terry Phillips, Rodney Sanders, Mark Dotson, and Stormy Scott. For his efforts he earned the Mesilla Valley Transportation Hard Charger Award.

On Friday night Jason claimed his second win of the 2012 season at Royal Purple Raceway (Baytown, Texas) as he topped a field of 67 entries for the $4,000 win in the second round of the 3rd Annual Texas Spring Nationals. Hughes began the night by winning his heat race to lock into the redraw for the 40 lap feature. In the redraw he was the recipient of the second starting spot alongside pole sitter, Stormy Scott. When the race went green Hughes bolted to a lead that he would never relinquish as he led all 40 laps to claim the win over Ryan Gustin, Stormy Scott, John O Whittington, and Kelly Shryock.

Jason wrapped up the 3rd Annual Spring Nationals at Royal Purple Raceway (Baytown, Texas) on Saturday night with a $4,000-to-win event at the facility. Sixty-five entries registered for battle, and a ninth place start in his heat would only turn into a sixth place finish, which left him short of locking into the main event. As a result, Hughes ran a b-main, where he charged from the fifth starting position to claim the win, which locked him into the 17th starting spot for the finale. As the race got underway Jason began marching through the field, and by the time that the checkered flew he was in the fifth position behind race winner, Johnny Scott, Ryan Gustin, Steve Whiteaker Jr., and John O Whittington. For full results from all three events, please visit www.USMTS.com.

This weekend, March 1st-4th, the team turns their attention to the 17th Annual Winter Meltdown and 6th Annual Chub Daniels Memorial at Southern New Mexico Speedway (Las Cruces, New Mexico). The four day extravaganza draws many of the nation's top, Open Wheel Modified pilots to the event, which culminates with a $10,000-to-win finale. An open practice session is held on Friday before seeing qualifying events held on Friday and Saturday. The weekend concludes on Sunday with b-mains and the $10,000-to-win, main event. For more information on the event, please visit www.SNMSpeedway.com .

Hughes Race Cars is currently busy preparing new chassis for the 2012 season. The company also offers full chassis services as well as parts. Visit www.JasonHughes12.com for more information on how to join our winning team.

Ray Cook Enjoys Strong Speedweeks Highlighted by $7,000 Winternationals Win!

(BRASSTOWN, NORTH CAROLINA) Ray Cook and the D&R Motorsports team have recently returned back home following a successful stint in Georgia and Florida during "Speedweeks 2012." In all, the #53 team entered eight high-profile Dirt Late Model events from February 10-18 at three different southern venues: Screven Motor Speedway in Sylvania, Georgia, Golden Isles Speedway in Brunswick, Georgia, and East Bay Raceway Park in Gibsonton, Florida. Ray was fast at all three facilities, as he accumulated one victory, two runner-up finishes, and two additional Top Ten performances.

The trip to victory lane, Ray's second already in 2012, came on Wednesday, February 15 at the East Bay Raceway Park. The Brasstown, North Carolina hotshoe led the 35-lap, Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series-sanctioned 'Winternationals' feature event on a couple of different occasions before claiming the $7,000 top prize over Jonathan Davenport, Steve Francis, Scott Bloomquist, and Dennis Erb, Jr. Ray's runner-up efforts came earlier in "Speedweeks" in the Peach State of Georgia. He finished second to only winner Darrell Lanigan on Saturday, February 11 in the $20,000 to win 'Winter Freeze' at Screven, while he also secured a close second to winner Jonathan Davenport a day later in the $10,000 to win 'Super Bowl of Racing' at Golden Isles.

At the conclusion of the six-race 'Winternationals' at East Bay, in which Ray recorded the win and two more Top Ten outings, he was credited with a fifth place finish in the final DART 'Winternationals' point standings. The popular driver known as the "Tarheel Tiger" currently finds himself tied for fourteenth in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series point standings, which were comprised only of the final two nights at East Bay. A complete race-by-race recap from Ray's journey through Georgia and Florida can be viewed by clicking on www.RayCook53.com.

"I am ecstatic on how we performed throughout Speedweeks and I can't thank my team and everyone associated with it for all of their support and dedication," exclaimed Cook upon his arrival back in North Carolina. "My hat is off to the whole MasterSbilt gang. They built me and (Don) O'Neal new cars this off-season and they were extremely fast right out of the box. We had a couple of close runner-up finishes in Georgia that got our trip off to a great start and then the win at East Bay really capped it off. Historically, I have not been very good at that place, but to win there for the first time in 12 years was special and it really gives me some confidence heading into the rest of the season!"

The next event for the D&R Motorsports team is scheduled to be the 15th Annual 'Bama Bash' on March 2-3 at the Green Valley Speedway in Glencoe, Alabama. The unsanctioned, two-day program will be headlined by a $15,015 to win, 75-lap main event on Saturday night, March 3. Ray was victorious in the 2009 and 2010 versions of the 'Bama Bash' and finished a solid ninth in the final rundown in 2011 despite getting caught up in an early wreck. Additional information on the Green Valley Speedway can be located online at www.GreenValleySpeedway.com.

Ray Cook would like to thank all of his supporters including: D&R Motorsports, Hicks & Ingle Company, MasterSbilt Race Cars, Race Engine Design, PPM Racing Products, A+ Moving and Storage Company, K&N Filters, PRC Racing, Real Racing Wheels, Bill Elliott Racing, James Cook Construction, American Race Tire, Bert Transmissions, Brodix Cylinder Heads, Chizmark & Larson Insurance Agency, DBR Starters, Delph Communications, Demon Carburetors, Eibach Springs, FK Rod Ends, Frankland Racing Supply, GW Performance, Integra Shocks, ISC Racers Tape, JB Performance, Mason Racin', MSD Ignition, Peterson Fluid Systems, Schaeffer's Racing Oil, Scott Performance Wire, Stealth Carburetors, Sweet Mfg., T&D Machine, Turbo Start Batteries, VP Racing Fuels, Wiles Driveshafts, and Wilwood.

Jon Henry Readies for 2012 racing Season

ADA, OH (2/14/12) – In preparation for the 2012 racing season, Jon Henry is excited to announce he has locked in all twelve sponsors for his new "Dirty Dozen" program. In addition, Henry is pleased to announce that veteran wrench Scott "Schoolboy" Smith will join the team in a part-time role.

During the offseason, Jon Henry announced that twelve sponsors would come on board at $1,200 each to become members of a fraternal marketing and partnering group known as the "Dirty Dozen". The sponsorship package included benefits such as personal appearances, victory lane photos, t-shirts, autograph cards, and more. The members of the 2012 Dirty Dozen have officially been announced: Associated Plastics (Ada, OH), Lehman & Lehman (Milford Center, OH), Ron Spencer Real Estate (Lima, OH), Reproductive Assistance (Terrace Park, OH), Automated Transport (Kenton, OH), William H. Bass Trucking (Ada, OH), Home Savings & Loan (Kenton, OH), The JLH Company (Fremont, OH), Re-Deck of Northwest Ohio (Ada, OH), Truman Quarterhorses (Kenton, OH), and Mike & Sheila Keller (Lima, OH). In addition, Henry will welcome back associate sponsor Fultz Fabrications & Speed Shop.

"I'm very, very thankful for the support of everyone in this group," Henry said of his twelve new marketing partners. "Without their help, we wouldn't be in as strong of a position as we are to start the 2012 season."

In addition, Henry has brought Scott "Schoolboy" Smith on board as a part-time wrench for the upcoming season. Smith most recently served as crew chief for Matt Miller at McCullough Motorsports, and helped guide Miller to a $100,000 win in the 2005 Dirt Late Model Dream at Eldora Speedway.

"Schoolboy is a great addition to our team," the 2011 Eldora Speedway co-champion said. "His knowledge combined with the solid crew members we already have will just help our team tremendously. I looking forward to working with him throughout the season."

Armed with a brand new Rocket Chassis and power from Dargie Racing Engines, Henry is tentatively planning to kick off his 2012 campaign sometime in mid-March. The defending UMP Sunoco ALMS Champion, Henry also finished third in the final 2012 national UMP Dirt Late Model points standings.

Jake Griffin Prepares for UMP DIRTCar Nationals; Welcomes New Sponsors

Quincy, Illinois (02/13/12) –With the 2012 season now upon us Jake Griffin is preparing for his most ambitious campaign to date, and he will be opening it February 15^th-21^st at Volusia Speedway Park (Barberville, Florida) during the 41^st Annual UNOH DIRTCar Nationals.

While Jake has been eagerly preparing to go head-to-head with many of the nation’s top Open Wheel Modified pilots in Florida, there has been some big off-season news for the team. Most notably the team has welcomed Fierge Auto Parts, based in Quincy, Illinois. Fierge Auto Parts is one of the nation’s largest, salvage yards, and company owner, Randy Fierge, has a long history in the motorsports world. In addition to sponsoring some of the top regional drivers, including Steve Fraise, Fierge has also sponsored some nationally-renowned drivers over the years including Jimmy Spencer and Kenny Wallace. While Fierge Auto Parts has not graced the side of a race car in several years, the company makes a return as a racing sponsor for the 2012 season after taking note of the rapid progression of Jake Griffin in his career.

In regards to the new sponsorship Jake comments, “For Mr. Fierge and his family to decide to become involved with my program means a lot to me. He’s helped a lot of great drivers over the year, and to now be one of those drivers is a really big deal. I plan to do everything that I can to make his sponsorship as beneficiary as possible.”

For more information on the company, please visit www.Fierge.com .

Jake recently received more exciting news as he has been cleared to compete in the Asphalt Late Model division at Hawkeye Downs Speedway (Cedar Rapids, Iowa). This is big news for the team because Jake will be the youngest driver to ever run a Late Model at the facility as well as providing an opportunity for him to gain valuable pavement experience. He will compete at the track on Friday nights from May until August. Griffin also plans to compete at Quincy Raceways on Sunday night with his UMP Modified and UMP Late Model. More information on the respective facilities can be found at www.HawkeyeDownsSpeedway.com and www.QuincyRaceways.com .

In just a few days Jake will be headed to the Sunshine State for the 41^st Annual UNOH DIRTCar Nationals at the lightning fast, ½ mile oval at Volusia Speedway Park (Barberville, Florida), where he will take his #08 Bob Pierce Open Wheel Modified into battle.

Dereck Ramirez Enjoys Strong Runs in Arizona

Woodward, Oklahoma (01/26/12) – Dereck Ramirez opened his ultra-busy, 2012 campaign last week with the 6th Annual Wild West Shootout at USA Raceway (Tucson, Arizona) as he took both his #4r Ramirez Motorsports/Hughes Race Car/Pro Power Racing Engine Open Wheel Modified and his #4r Ramirez Motorsports/Victory Circle by Moyer/Pro Power Super Late Model into battle.

Over 60 Open Wheel Modifieds entered at least one event with many of the nation's top competitors in action. Ramirez would make a strong showing in the Open Wheel Modified division with five top-ten-finishes and three top-five-finishes as he qualified for all six features with just one DNF. His best finish came in Round #2 of the series, when he finished second to Stormy Scott.

Over 80 Super Late Model pilots registered for action in at least one event, and again a talent-laden field was on hand each night as Ramirez made his first ever laps in a Super Late Model. Dereck went into the six race series with the attitude that he would use the events to become familiar with piloting a Super Late Model. Not only would he gain valuable track time as he took part in four of the events, but he would also impressively qualify for the feature event in Round #5.

"This race track was crazy fast tonight, and my Jay Dickens motor gave me all the power I needed to get the job done," commented O'Neal.

Another JDRE customer, John Anderson from Omaha, Nebraska, also enjoyed a successful outing in the six race series. While he didn't get a win, he did lead the first seventeen laps of the main event on Sunday, January 15th before settling for a second place finish in his #2 Shop Quick Motorsports/Mastersbilt/JDRE entry. Anderson also recorded a third place finish in the $10,000-to-win finale.

Surrette, who has been away from the driver's seat for past several seasons, will be returning to action for 2012.

We will operate out of my shop here in Texarkana, and we've brought a new, full-time crewman, Caleb Shown, on board for this season. We will also operate out of my hauler, so that will help cut costs on fuel as we travel up and down the highway."

Jon also recently announced that he will be piloting a Mastersbilt Super Late Model for 2012, while he will still pilot a GRT Open Wheel Modified in select events. Mitchell will have a KPH Racing Engine under the hood of each entry. Tommy Surrette will be driving a Mastersbilt Super Late Model, while utilizing a Jay Dickens power plant. When not competing on the CCSDS tour, the team will enter other regional and special events in the area.

Jason Hughes Opens 2012 With a Win in Tucson

Westville, Oklahoma (1/25/12) – After building a new car during the off-season Jason Hughes decided to take his #12 West Siloam Pawn/Gressel Racing/Hughes/Mullins Race Engines Open Wheel Modified to USA Raceway (Tucson, Arizona) to test it during the 6th Annual Wild West Shootout, and his opening round testing would result in a $1,000 win.

The 6th Annual Wild West Shootout consisted of six, separate $1,000-to-win shows strewn over a ten day stretch. Many of the nation's top drivers took advantage of the multi-day event to get their cars dialed in for the 2012 campaign as more than 60 drivers took part in at least one event.

Jason opened his 2012 season on Saturday, January 14th in the first of six events in the 6th Annual Wild West Shootout at USA Raceway (Tucson, Arizona). It would prove to be a great outing for Hughes, who entered the six race extravaganza with the intent of testing a new car.

With a talent-laden field of 55 Open Wheel Modifieds entered, Jason won the sixth heat race from the third starting spot. Via passing points he locked into the redraw for the feature, where he was the lucky recipient of the pole position for the $1,000-to-win, 25 lap feature. He was joined on the front row by Stormy Scott, and as the race went green Hughes would bolt to the lead. While he would build a solid lead early in the event, Scott would stage a pair of midrace charges for the lead. Hughes would be able to repel the charges on his way to the win, which came over Scott and Rodney Sanders.

"I really just came out here with the intent to test as many setups as possible on this new car, so to get a win is really something great," commented Hughes.

Jason's results for the miniseries are available on his website at www.JasonHughes12.com and full results for the miniseries are available at www.USARaceway.net.

Hughes Race Cars is currently busy preparing new chassis for the 2012 season. The company also offers full chassis services as well as parts. Visit www.JasonHughes12.com for more information on how to join our winning team.

Morgan Bagley Claims $10k Win in Wild West Shootout Finale

Longview, Texas (01/25/12) –Morgan Bagley began his 2012 campaign in fine fashion by claiming the $10,000 win in the Bill Cheesebourg Memorial behind the wheel of his #14m P&W Sales/Rocket By R.E. Consulting/Clements Super Late Model at USA Raceway (Tucson, Arizona).

Sunday afternoon was a crowning achievement in the young, Super Late Model career of Morgan Bagley as he raced his way to the $10,000 win in the Bill Cheesebourg Memorial at USA Raceway (Tucson, Arizona). The big paying event served as the final round of the 6th Annual Wild West Shootout, and after winning his heat race, Bagley locked into the redraw for the feature, where he received the outside, front row starting spot for the feature, alongside pole-sitter, Billy Moyer Jr.

As the race went green Bagley shot to the lead before Moyer Jr. took over the lead a couple of laps later. Morgan would storm back to the lead on the tenth lap and would hold the spot until lap 19 when Billy Moyer raced past for the top spot. Bagley would maintain the second spot until mechanical issues ended Moyer's run on lap 30, allowing Morgan to inherit the lead. He would never give up the lead again as he led the final ten laps to claim the richest payday of his career. Morgan was followed across the finish line by Tim McCreadie, John Anderson, Billy Moyer Jr., and Jimmy Mars.

"Part of me hates to get a win that way with the leader breaking, but I'll definitely take it," laughed Bagley after the event. "Randall (Edwards) and everyone with this team has done a great job with this car getting it ready for the season. We've had a good car out here all week, but we just haven't had the best of luck and our results haven't shown what we are capable of until tonight. I can't thank my team and team owner, Wayman McMillan enough for their support and hard work."

Morgan's results for the miniseries are shown below:

6th Annual Wild West Shootout

January 14th: USA Raceway (Tucson, Arizona) - $3,000-to-win - 8th

January 15th: USA Raceway (Tucson, Arizona) - $5,000-to-win - DNS

We will hit Screven and East Bay for sure and if things go well and our equipment is still in good shape, we may head over to Volusia as well."

The 'Winter Freeze' at Screven will be the first race of the season for the Josh McGuire Racing (JMR) team on February 10-11. The lid lifter for the World of Outlaws Late Model Series will pay $20,000 to the winner.

Ray Cook Starts 2012 Season with Ice Bowl Victory at Talladega Short Track!

(BRASSTOWN, NORTH CAROLINA) The "Tarheel Tiger" Ray Cook debuted a new orange paint scheme on his #53 MasterSbilt racecar on January 7-8 at the Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, Alabama and it certainly did not slow him down, as he captured his second 'Ice Bowl' title in convincing fashion! During the extended weekend at TST, a combination of new clay and intermittent rain showers kept the racing surface rough and fast. On Saturday, Ray laid down a solid lap during the qualifying session and later dominated his heat race en route to the prelim victory.

When Sunday rolled around at the track deemed as the "Hornets Nest," Ray started the 50-lap 'Ice Bowl' from the outside of the second row. The Brasstown, North Carolina native muscled past polesitter Jason Wilson to grab the point on the eighth circuit and led the remainder of the distance en route to the $6,000 payday. Ray, who also won the 'Ice Bowl' back in 2009, defeated Joe Armistead, Jr., Stacy Holmes, Jason Hiett, and Chad Winkles in the rough and tumble race, which was slowed by nine caution periods. Complete coverage from 'Ice Bowl XXI' can be accessed by clicking on www.dirtondirt.com.

"We are just so tickled to get a win right off the bat in 2012 and especially at a race with so much prestige like the Ice Bowl," stated Cook via telephone this morning. "Everything worked real well all weekend and we learned some stuff on our car to get through those rough track conditions. I have to thank my entire team, but especially Keith (Masters) and Gary (Winger) for some valuable help on how to get through those holes. Back in 2009 when I won the Ice Bowl for the first time, it helped propel us to maybe the best year in my career. Hopefully, this Ice Bowl victory will come close to doing the same thing!"

The D&R Motorsports team will go back to work at the shop this week to comb through their #53 car to look for any bent or broken parts due to the rough racing surface at TST. Weather pending, the next race for the team will be on Saturday, January 21 at the Boyd's Speedway in Ringgold, Georgia. The annual running of the 'Cabin Fever 40' is scheduled to pay $3,000 to the winner in two weeks time.

Gillenwater Motorsports set to return in 2012

IRONTON, OH-After nearly six years away from the dirt track, Gillenwater Motorsports is back. Gillenwater Motorsports, which has been around the sport for 45 years, will return to the track this year competing in the Sport Mod class at the Southern Ohio Speedway.

Gillenwater Motorosports, originally known as Gillenwater Brothers Racing, was official...ly formed in the year 1967 in Ironton, Ohio. In 1966, Otha Gillenwater took his three sons, John, Ray, and PD to the races at Southern Ohio Speedway. From the first race, the brothers were hooked and began putting together a car to race for the 1967 season.

In 1967, the brothers accomplished their goal of fielding a race car and competed at Southern Ohio Speedway in Wheelersburg, Ohio and Champions Speedway in Kitts Hill, Ohio. John and Ray split the driving duties, while PD went off to join the service. The brothers raced through the 1973 season until rising costs forced the team to quit racing.

John, in taking his kids with him to the races, instilled the racing bug in son John Jr. After 19 years away from the sport, Gillenwater Motorsports returned in 1992 with John Jr. behind the wheel of a Street Stock at the Portsmouth Raceway Park. John Jr. competed in the Street Stock class for one year and then sat out until 2005 when he returned to the wheel of a Late Model at the Rocky Top Raceway. John Jr. competed in the Late Model division for a year and a half until rising costs forced him to sit out again.

In 2011, the newly re-opened Southern Ohio Speedway announced the introduction of the economical Sport Mod class. John Jr. took notice and looked at this as his opportunity to get back into the sport and be able to race on the track his dad started at. So in December of 2011 John Jr. purchased a car to compete in the class. With that will come the official return of Gillenwater Motorsports to the track in 2012.

Even in the years that Gillenwater Motorsports did not compete on track, they have still been familiar faces around the sport. John Sr. and John Jr. have both been loyal race fans in the region, supporting the regions dirt tracks each year. John Jr. has also been a big part of several tracks, race teams, and racing related businesses by providing website and graphics work through his business Pro Star Designs.

As Gillenwater Motorsports makes a run at the 2012 SOS Sport Mod track championship, they would like to thank the following sponsors for their support: Counter Culture Inc.,ThinkTees.com, Brokers Unlimited, Remy’s Auto Group, 222 Signs and Graphics, BC Tool Rental, Kidz Dudz, Taras Island Rayz, Southern Ohio Sports Photos, and Pro Star Designs.

The most notable change is that he will be piloting a brand new GRT this season.

The team is also refocused and reloaded as they look to make some noise throughout the southeast this season.

Kyle Beard will open the 2012 campaign this weekend, January 5th-8th, in the 21st Annual Ice Bowl at Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, Alabama. Kyle has made the feature twice with a best finish of 15th in 2010.

Kent Robinson to Make Run at World of Outlaws Tour

Bloomington, Indiana (01/03/12) – With the 2012 season soon to be a reality Kent Robinson has announced that he tentatively plans to pilot his #7r JB's Salvage/Mastersbilt/Jay Dickens Racing Super Late Model on the full World of Outlaws (WoO) Super Late Model tour as he pursues the Rookie of the Year title.

After several successful seasons in an Open Wheel Modified, the 21-year-old Robinson recently concluded his first full season in a Dirt Super Late Model in 2011, and it was a strong debut for the Bloomington, Indiana driver. Kent raced 62 times in 10 states with 1 win, 14-top-five, and 20-top-ten finishes. He made numerous crown jewels including the Dream, the Show Me 100 , the North/South 100, the World 100, and the Jackson 100. He also qualified for six Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series features and three World of Outlaws features. He also finished 6th at the WoO race at Bardstown Speedway (Kentucky) and racked up two top five finishes in Summer National events.

The 2011 season gave the young driver confidence, and with that confidence, Robinson looks to embark on his most daunting task to date. "No doubt it's a big undertaking to hit the road fulltime with a national tour like the World of Outlaws, but it's something that I feel that me and my time are ready to do as we make our next step in this sport. I know there's a lot of talented drivers, who are chasing the WoO Rookie Title this year, and I'm honored to throw my name into the mix with those guys. As of this moment we are 95% sure that we will do the whole deal, but for right now we are focused on the Georgia and Florida Speedweek events to see how we stack up," comments Robinson.

Robinson's 2012 slate with the WoO tour will begin on February 10th-11th at Screven Motor Speedway (Sylvania, Georgia) in a $20,000-to-win event. Before heading south to Florida for events at Bubba Raceway Park (Ocala, FL) and Volusia Speedway Park (Deleon Springs, FL), Robinson plans to compete in the unsanctioned, $10,000-to-win event at Golden Isles Speedway (Brunswick, Florida) on February 12th. For full Speedweeks schedule information for Kent Robinson, please visit www.KentRobinsonRacing.com .
