Joining the EMSA divisions will be the Cowtown Limited Modifieds on Friday night and USRA Modifieds on Saturday night.

This event will include a new format for the EMSA teams. Drivers will pay one entry fee for the weekend, whether they race one day or both; but there will be a feature event contested on each night:

- Non-Winged A-Class 600’s will be racing for $500 to win and $50 to start (24th) on Friday night; and $1,000 to win and $100 to start (24th) on Saturday night. Each night will pay $25 to non-qualifiers. Non-Winged 600’s will be racing on the ¼ mile track.

- The Restricted 600’s will race on the Action Track with two separate feature events as well. Friday night will pay $250 to win and $50 to start (20th). Saturday night will pay $500 to win and $75 to start (20th).

All EMSA drivers must pre-register at the track website, www.CowtownSpeedway.com by no later than Tuesday, June 21st and that will reserve them a spot in the pits as well as save them $25 in race week pricing. Registration is now open, and early entry is $50 for each of the two EMSA divisions. Pre-entered drivers can also purchase a two-day advance pit pass online that will allow them to only have to go through one line at the pit window on Friday night (the far left window). So teams are urged to get pre-entered as soon as possible. All entries received at the track will be $75 per car entered.

Limited Modifieds will be racing for $400 to win on Friday night and USRA Modifieds will be racing for $600 to win on Saturday night. Each event will be a Cowtown Speedway weekly point’s event. No entry or draw fees for Limiteds or Modifieds.

Adult grandstand tickets (ages 12 and up) each night are just $10! Ages 6-11 each night are $5 and for this event, ages 5 and under are FREE each night! All pit passes each night are $35. 2-day pit passes will only be sold online through June 21st. Like always, entry fee does not include pit passes.

Kennedale, Tx.,(Sept. 4Th, 2010)

Saturday concluded the 6th Annual IMCA Southern Sportmod Nationals with final heats and B-mains to fill the remaining 18 spots for the $2,000 Big A-main. The IMCA Modified ran another $1,000 to win All-Star Invitational qualifier with the local Street Stocks filling ot the night’s racing card.

Jones Outdistances Field for Southern Sportmod Nationals Crown

Mansfield’s Sean Jones used a good starting spot and strong car to capture the IMCA Southern Sportmod A-main event. Jones grabbed the lead on lap 1 and never looked back leading flag to flag. The closest anyone got to Jones was under caution and on restarts as Jones would easily pull away from the field.

Jones beat Tom Earl jr. out of turn 2 to take the lead in the 24-car, 25-lap IMCA Southern Sportmod Nationals feature. Earl fell in line second with JP Dowell and David Ferguson following. Defending event champ Dowell got second from Earl on lap 2 as the top eight sorted out single file. Last night’s qualifying winner, Troy Taylor, who drew a six, battled side by side with Matt Mueller for fifth. By lap 5 Jones had already shown his dominance running out a full straightaway lead.

Jones caught the back of the pack, running side by side on lap 7 but sliced his way through without missing a beat. Taylor was able to pick off a spot getting fourth from Ferguson on lap 9. Yellow waved on lap 11 for a bumper taking away Jones’ big advantage. On the restart Dowell got second from Earl followed by Taylor. Taylor then snagged second from Dowell on lap 12 while Ferguson and Earl ran wheel to wheel for fourth.

Randy Timms and Gabe Tucker both got by Johnny Torres for seventh and eighth. Coming to the crossed flags it was Jones opening up his lead, Taylor, Dowell, Ferguson and Earl in the top five with Mueller, Tucker and Timms three wide for sixth. As the top five separated out, the trio scraping it out for sixth kept the fight going until Tucker slowed and stopped along the wall to bring out yellow on lap 17. Jones got a good jump on green as Ferguson got inside Dowell for third.

On lap 18 Timms and Earl were side by side for fifth as yellow waved for Chase Allen who rolled to a stop on the back stretch. Back under green, Jones squirted away leaving Taylor and Ferguson battling for second. With two to go Ferguson gave Taylor a challenge low but to no avail. This gave Jones more distance than he needed to put the Ameritech Pest Control, Rocket Roadside Service, Ameritech Automotive, Wayne Brooks powered, HOT Chassis in the Winners Circle.

“Drawing a two was probably the biggest thing to help me,” replied Jones. “I usually don’t draw good. Then it was get out front early and get down to the bottom. I was expecting a track like last night, dry and smooth. But it was fast on the bottom and middle. I knew it was going to be a good race. I was probably more nervous as I’ve been in a long time”

“I tried to put as many lapped cars as I could behind me, but they didn’t keep them in the line up. Towards the end you kind of start hearing things and the right rear started bottoming out in the ruts. I was worried that I might roll a tire off or get mud packed in the wheel.”

“We freed the car up some from last night because of all the moisture in the track. When we hot lapped after the B-mains it was pretty tight so we loosened it up. We knew with the humidity the track would get tackier as it went along.”

“Since I don’t run wit these IMCA guys I really didn’t know how fast they would be. I haven’t run IMCA in about 12 years. I hope to run more IMCA races and will probably defend my title next year. The main difference between here and Cowtown is the banking. It’s fast track when you’ve the moisture despite the limited banking.”

“I want to thank Joe and Craig for giving me the chance to drive the car and of course all the guys that help. They gave me a good car to drive. That’s the first you have to have.”

Tucker Takes on Best for ROC Checkers

Representing Boyd Raceway, Gabe Tucker(Carbon, Tx.,) made up for some of the weekend’s bad luck in the SMM Race of Champions. Tucker got past early leader Acey Light and built a big lead that was lost to a late caution. Tucker held off Light and multi-time SMM Champion Keith White for the win.

Light beat Donald Owens into turn 1 for the lead of the 12-lap, 13-car feature. Tucker got past Owens while Randy Doyle and Bradley Poor ran side by side for fourth. Owens slipped on lap 2 and fell back with Poor getting third and White making his way up to fourth. Tucker ducked inside Light on lap 3 going wheel to wheel through turns 3-4. Tucker came out of turn 4 with lead on lap 4 while Poor jumped a rut giving White an opening to grab third.

As the top five spread out, Doyle, Ronnie Welborn and Cary Stephens battled for sixth. Welborn got by both for the spot on lap 6. White had just gotten past Light for second when caution waved after Caleb Stone and Albert McCall hooked bumpers on the back stretch erasing Tuckers big lead. On the restart White and Light resumed their fight giving Tucker the chance to put some distance on them. Tucker in the Braka Operating, Arthur Business Products, Triple T Trucking, Fast Signs, E&E Custom, Stacy Farms, Farris Racing Engines, Big Chief Chassis edged away for the victory.

“We studied the track a lot,” commented Tucker. “I don’t know how many laps we have this weekend. We just watched the track and how it changed. Listening to the experience around us helped and Keith(White) has helped us a ton in the Modified and Sportmod. I credit a lot of our success to Keith. Knowing Keith is around pushes me to drive harder, every lap.”

“We had some good runs this weekend even through our results don’t show it. We were moving forward and just had some bad luck in the A-mains. With the class of drivers and field we had, I think was we were good. Winning the Race of Champions gives us a good feeling as we leave for the Super Nationals in Boone(Iowa).”

White Whips Stout Field in Modified Main

National points contender Keith White once again showed the 24-car IMCA Modified field his rear bumper on his way to another win. White got by early leader Mike Hathcock and eased away from all but Jeremy Willis. White outdistanced Willis in the waning laps and held his car together despite rough track conditions.

When green waved on the 20-lap IMCA Modified main event Hathcock came out of turn 2 with the lead trailed by White, Tommy Fain, Jacob Pirkle and Willis. Fain saw his night end early when he broke on lap 1 and pulled to the infield. Willis, using the high side, got a run getting along side White for second on lap 3. Willis then slipped in turn 2 opening up the top for White who tried high on Hathcock, while Jeff Emerson got past Pirkle for fourth.

Emerson closed on the lead trio and the quartet ran nose to tail until White again jumped up top. White was able to get around Hathcock for the lead on lap 6. Brandon Watson slowed and stopped on track for a lap 8 caution that saw Emerson retire under yellow. White and Willis got away on the restart with Trevor Egbert getting the best of Chase Jupe for fifth. Yellow quickly came out again on lap 9 for debris.

Once back to green White jumped away from Willis, while Hathcock hooked a rut and fell to the back of he field. At halfway it was White, Willis, Pirkle and Jupe with Egbert side by side with Jay Bransom for fifth. Coming through the pack was Kevin Sustaire from his seventh row starting spot shooting by Bransom and Egbert for fifth. As White and Willis pulled away, Pirkle, Bransom and Sustaire were nose to tail for third. Sustaire used the top groove on Bransom to take third on lap 16.

With two to go Sustaire, Pirkle, Bransom and Matt Martin got wadded up going by the flagstand. Surprisingly all continued on without caution despite some serious cosmetic damage to all four. Willis never was close enough to mount a challenge on White who piloted the Traceys Auto Sales, Braka Operating TCI, Dura-Lite Technologies, Tubbs Paint & Body, Amsoil, Craftmaster Powder Coating, Stephenville Starter, Belton Metals, Cen-Tex Motorsports powered Hughes Chassis to the checkers.

“This Hughes Chassis just wades through those ruts,” explained White. “We just rolled right through them. You can’t tighten the car up even though you want to as slick as it was. But the rough spots make the car handle worse. You have to have it free and be easy on throttle.”

“This win puts us in the Fast Shafts Invitational deal, but we already have our 30 wins for the season. It doesn’t really do anything for that. The best thing was the good car count. It will help with our season average. If we can pull a half a point or so out of that deal we’ll be in good shape. Now we just go out there to win.”

“With this win we have a better feeling heading to Boone. We’ve had a good year and just ran into some bad racing luck yesterday. I hope we hit the round running when we get up there. You want to get in the show, first and foremost. We did that last year but never got to prove how much we could race with them. We’re in the All-Star race already so maybe we can show something there.”

Sterling Steals Street Stock Scramble

In a race marred by the passing of driver Chris Kent, Michael Sterling came back from the tail and snuck by at the finish for the win. After an early race spin Sterling worked is way back up and when Calvin Williams and Chris Davis made contact on the last lap fighting for the top spot Sterling was in the right place at the right time to steal the victory.

Demetrius Carter lead the 19-car, 20-lap feature in turns 1-2 but slipped too high in turn 3. This gave Tyler Muirhead the chance to get by to lead lap 1. His time up front was short as William got by to take the point on lap 2. Tommy Williams broke a trailing arm on lap 2 to bring out a caution. On the restart Sterling got by Muirhead for second but spun coming off turn 2 sending him to the rear.

Once back under green Carter got second from Muirhead with Davis following to third. As Carter caught Williams for the lead Ron Palmer and Shawn Byrd tangled to slow the action on lap 5. During the caution Chris Kent veered through the infield, bounced off a couple infield tires and went head-on into the wall. Paramedics were quickly on the scene, cut him out of the car and transported him to a local hospital. Unfortunately Kent, who may have had a medical issue leading to the crash, was unable to be revived.

As the race restarted with a pall over the drivers and crowd, Williams and Carter pulled away from Davis and John Riechard. Behind them Muirhead and Ryan Powers were side by side for fifth. Williams jumped a rut in turn 4 and got a bumper shot from Carter, as Powers got by Muirhead and Sterling worked his way up to sixth. Powers got a run Davis and Riechard but slowed with sparks flying from under the rearend.

Williams and Carter again made contact fighting for the lead on lap 14 with Carter slowing and Davis getting second. Sterling made his way up to fourth on lap 18 when David Cook slowed on the back stretch for a yellow. Davis gave Williams a look low on the restart then a little rap on the on bumper. The top four ran nose to tail coming to take the white. Williams hit the rut in turn 4 and got tagged by Davis sending Williams around. Sterling found the opening and shot through to take the checkers.

Kennedale, Tx.,(Sept. 3Rd, 2010) With the IMCA Super Nationals just around the corner Kennedale Speedway Park hosted the Sixth Annual IMCA Southern Sportmod Nationals for the Labor Day weekend. Drivers from Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma signed in for their shot to qualifying for the $2,000 to win main event on Saturday night.

Included on the ¼ mile, semi-banked dirt oval were the IMCA Modifieds running for $1,000 to win and a spot on next years All-Star Invitational ballot. Completing the nights racing schedule were the always exciting IMCA Stock Cars and IMCA Hobby Stocks.

Six drivers made the transfer from tonights Southern Sportmod A-main guaranteeing themselves a spot in Saturdays big show.

Action continues tomorrow with final qualifying for the Southern Sportmods as well as another $1,000 bout for the IMCA Modifieds along with the local Street Stocks.

Taylor Tops after Bransom Busted

Being a non-IMCA regular and usually racing “on the other side of the fence” Fort Worth’s Troy Taylor had a few goals in mind. He hoped to finish in the top six and see what his car for Saturday nights final. Mission accomplished. Taylor grabbed the top spot from the pole, but gave up the lead to Jay Bransom on an early restart. After fending off defending Southern Sportmod Nationals Champ, J P Dowell, Taylor settled in to the runner up spot. Bransom went on to take the win, but failed post-race tech handing the victory to Taylor.

Twenty-Four cars took the green for the 25-lap IMCA SSM Main with Taylor beating Devin Burgess into turn 1 for the lead. Burgess was trailed by Bransom, Matt Mueller and Dowell as the top five sorted out. In the pack Ken Parker, Sean Jones, Chase Brewer and Tom Earl jr. tangled for a lap 1 caution. On the restart Taylor got a good jump on Burgess and Bransom running side by side for second with Dowell looking high.

Dowell gave some thought to going three wide on lap 2 but let discretion be the better part of valor. Bransom got by Burgess for second on lap 3 bringing Dowell along to third. Dowell and Bransom then went wheel to wheel for second while Burgess had Mueller on his side for fourth. Yellow waved on lap 6 when Chad Hertel broke broke and stopped in the pit exit.

As green waved again Bransom jumped Taylor to get the lead with Dowell following to second. It was three wide for the top spot when Burgess clipped an infield scattering the field and bringing out a caution on lap 7. Once back to green Bransom inched ahead of Dowell, Taylor, Mueller and JC Howell. Taylor and Dowell then began a side by side scrap for second as Bransom motored away.

Coming to halfway it was Bransom, Taylor sneaking past Dowell for second, Mueller and Howell still holding the top five spots. In the pack defending and multi-time SSM champion Keith White was battling with Steven Abbey for seventh with Jeff Emerson on his tail. The trio made contact with White and Emerson getting hung up together between turns 1-2. White and S. Abbey were done for the night, Emerson pitted but came back on lap down.

Bransom hustled away on the restart leaving Taylor and Dowell with Howell looking low on Mueller for fourth. Gabe Tucker went around in turn 2 to bring out a yellow on lap 14. Bransom brought the field to green with a slow restart that caused a chain reaction in the pack sending Dean Abbey around in turn 3. Back under green Bransom got away clean as Mueller challenged Dowell for third.

Coming from the back Jones was on a charge getting sixth from Earl on lap 16. As Mueller and Dowell continued to slug it out, Jones picked off Howell for the the fifth spot using the top groove. Howell got in too deep in turn 1 half spinning and loosing several spots on lap 20. Jones picked off both Mueller and Dowell on lap 21 for third, but was a half straightaway behind Taylor.

With two to go Bransom had a good advantage over Taylor, while Jones was cutting into the gap on Taylor and David Ferguson took fifth from Mueller. Bransom cruised on to take the checkers, but couldn’t pass tech inspection giving the win to Taylor in Tru-Color Refinishing, D&D Auto Parts, Swenson Racing Shocks, In-n-Out Beer Barn, Wells Racing Engines, HOT Chassis.

“Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good,” replied Taylor. “Tonight we were a little of both. Jay(Bransom) got by on that restart and Dowell did too and I just wanted to keep a little cushion on the field. Tomorrow night we’ll have a complete redraw for the top six. So it really didn’t matter if you won tonight or ran sixth. Either one of those spots and you’re in the show.”

“We pretty much run the same rules over there(Cowtown) except for some minor safety stuff we had to change or add. The only thing we did to the set up was add some weight to help the car roll over. We really needed a spring change, but didn’t do it. Not racing here very much we really didn’t know what the car was going to need. Then we’re racing out there with guys we normally don’t run against so you have to learn their habits and what they’re doing. It’s kind of an eye opener”

“Tomorrow we’re going to scale the car and soften up the right front spring to try and help plant the right side tires better. I felt I was giving up quite a bit entering the corners. That’s about all we’re going to do to it and put some new tires on it, hot lap them and get a heat cycle in them.”

“I was talking to Brett(Root) in the infield and asked why all these classes weren’t on the same tire. One tire for everyone. These cars(SSM) have way too much tire. If anything the Modified should be on this one. If everyone had the same it would be cheaper. The guys in other classes would be able to reuse your take offs. It would be easier for the tracks to police the tires too.”

“My biggest sponsor is my wife, for putting up with all this crap.”

Dowell Dashes to Modified Main Win

Killeen’s J P Dowell used his front row starting spot to parlay it into Friday night’s IMCA Modified win. Dowell had to fend off race long challenges from Trevor Egbert until Egbert was forced to pit after contact with Jeff Emerson in the waning laps. Last years defending Southern Sportmod Nationals Champion Dowell also put his Sportmod in the show finishing third despite losing the power steering.

As green waved on the 24-car, 20-lap event Dowell out gunned polesitter Mike McCarthy into turn 1 for the lead. McCarthy fell in line second with Egbert third and Damon Hammond running side by side with Rodney Hicks for fourth. McCarthy slipped on lap 1 giving up second to Egbert and again lost ground in turn 1 when Hammond and Gabe Tucker got past for third and fourth. Egbert quickly began to pressure Dowell for the lead and had gotten along Dowell when yellow waved for a spin by Hicks in turn 3.

On the restart Dowell and Egbert edged away while National points contender Keith White got around Hammond for fifth. Yellow waved again on lap 5 when Scooter Bates and Michael Lamb tangled. Egbert gave Dowell a look high on the restart, but a multi-car melee in turn 2 involving Chase Jupe, Jay Bransom, Kirk Martin, Eddie Prator, Matt Mueller and Dwayne Grantham quickly slowed the pace again. On the next single file restart Egbert tried the low side but in the pack Justin Fowler got crossed up causing a back up that saw White wheel hop Hammond ending their nights.

Finally back under green Egbert again looked under Dowell while Tucker and Matt Martin ran side by side for third. Emerson joined that battle going three wide in turn 4 with Emerson getting the spot. Martin was able to follow to fourth. Back in the field Justin Redmon, John Gober and McCarthy were three breast for seventh, with Charlie Harmon picking off fifth from Tucker. At halfway it was still Dowell being hounded by Egbert, Emerson closing with M. Martin and Harmon rounding out the top five.

McCarthy brought out a caution on lap 12 when he looped it turn 2. The top three broke away nose to tail back under green with Emerson now pressuring Egbert for second. As those two battled for second Dowell inched away to a slight lead. Emerson and Egbert were wheel to wheel on lap 15 with the two trading some paint. Emerson drifted up into Egbert after hitting a rough spot on lap 16 with the contact hard enough to break his tie rod.

Egbert was forced to slow and pull to the infield. This gave Dowell all the room he needed to run on to the victory unchallenged in the Ellis Air Systems, Braka Operating, Quality Paint & Body, Smith Construction, Texas Proud Custom Cycles, Joker Icehouse, CenTex Motorsports powered, GRT Chassis.

“We ran the middle and the dry slick and tried to keep up the momentum,” said Dowell. ‘The track got a little rough down low, but it was the fast line because it was still tacky. Trevor(Egbert) is my cousin and he’s really good. We ran side by side and never touched. I saw his nose and could hear him back there. At the end I had to step it up a bit. I didn’t know if he was going to try the inside because it was so rough. I didn’t know what happened to him. From what I understand he got run over by (Jeff) Emerson, but that’s just what I hear.”

“I run up here every once in a while so I have a good baseline on a set up. I love this place. I wanted to bring the Sportmod up here prior to this and do some testing.”

“ Hopefully we repeat our Sportmod Nationals win. We lost the power steering in the feature. I haven’t had that happen in fifteen years. My arms feel like noodles. It was a handful, but we held on and got the car in the show. We’ll fix that and tighten the car a bit if it’s dry slick tomorrow. It was still a bit loose.”

“I want to thank my wife and of course my fans for all their support.”

Phillips Flies to I-Stock Sweep

David Phillips(Abilene) methodically worked his way up from the fourth row chasing down leader Jason Batt. Phillips and Batt scrapped it out until Phillips secured the spot in the waning stages of the IMCA Stock Car feature. Once by Phillips opened up a comfortable margin on Batt to score the win.

At the start of the IMCA Stock Car feature Batt, Rodney Franklin and Roger Stripland went three wide for the top spot. Batt emerged with lead with Phillips three wide with Franklin and Stripland. Fredrick Widmayer, Robin Rasmussen-Batt, Doug Kennemer and James Potter tangled on the front stretch bringing ut a lap 1 caution. Batt jumped out to a good lead on green with Matt Guillaume getting by Franklin for third.

Phillips then put Franklin back a spot while Guillaume got along side Stripland for second. Phillips used a big run up top to get by Guillaume for third on lap 4 while Aaron Ferrell, Franklin and Daniel Parker three wide for sixth. Phillips took second from Stripland on lap 5 while former IMCA Stock Car Champion Duain Pritchett worked his way to a top five after starting in row 9.

Phillips caught Batt for the lead just before halfway with Stripland, Guillaume and Pritchett holding the top five positions. Pritchett snagged fourth from Guillaume on lap 11 then third from Stripland on lap 13. Up front Phillips was letting Batt know he was there with a couple love taps on the bumper. Stripland slipped and fell back shaking up positions from fourth on back.

Phillips was to get inside Batt on lap 15 take the point on lap 16 while John Morris took fifth from Aaron Ferrell. Once clear, Phillips increased his margin over Batt who held a similar gap back to Pritchett in third. Coming the checkers it was Phillips cruising to the win with a sizable advantage over Batt and Pritchett.

Cosper Captures Hobby Stock Checkers

Belton’s Charles Cosper outlasted the IMCA Hobby Stock field taking over the lead early when bad luck befell Ricky Rodriguez. Cosper was chased throughout the race by Jeremy Carter who gave it his best shot coming up a little short as Cosper took home the victory.

Rodriguez got a big jump on Gene Hadley at the start of the 20-lap, 19-car IMCA Hobby Stock feature. Rodriguez’ luck up front ended on lap 1 when he sheared an axle on the back stretch and rolled to a stop on three wheels. Cosper, on the top side got by both Hadley and Brandon Williams to grab the lead on the restart with Carter coming along to second. Jeff Kinniard then got by Hadley for third on lap 3.

Aaron Bayles got hung on an infield tire but was quickly pushed off by the push truck to keep the race under green with Cade Lee, coming from the back working his way up to fourth. At the halfway point it was still Cosper with Carter on his tail, Kinniard, Lee and Smith completing the top five. Tobie Talk got along side Smith for fifth with Andy Roller looking to make it three wide.

As that trio slugged it out Joey Patterson snuck by Roller and Smith for sixth. Tommy Phillips, who hit the pit out tires, wall and rolled surprisingly made the call for feature but found more bad luck on lap 12 when his hood flew up and he stopped in turn 2 to bring out a caution. On the restart Jackie Dooley slowed with a flat stacking up Rick Barrett, Bayles and Brandon Ringrow.

Back under green Cosper got a small advantage on Cater and Kinniard while Talk passed Lee for fourth. Lee fought back to retake the spot and was putting the heat on Kinniard for third. With two to go Cosper had two car lengths on Carter with Kinniard and Lee swapping some paint. Carter caught Cosper on the final circuit but couldn’t pull off a pass as Cosper held on for the win.
