Feb 282010

Greenbrier Arkansas’ Jack Sullivan wasn’t planning on a trip to Texas this weekend, but when the race he had scheduled rained out, the team headed west. After 40-laps Sullivan found himself in the prestigious TMS Victory Lane, and $3,500 richer. Sullivan started on the pole and led every lap, but it wasn’t all that easy.

Chasing Sullivan throughout most of the race was yet another pro, Billy Moyer. Moyer caught Sullivan in traffic for the final few circuits, but could get no closer than Sullivan’s rear bumper as the Arkansas duo finished one-two to sweep the local SUPR stars. Continue reading »

By J M Hallas

Ft. Worth, Tx., (Feb. 28th, 2009) Proving once again that everything is bigger in Texas, the Texas World Dirt Track Championship set a new standard for total car count. With 60 entries for the SUPR Late Model, $3,500 to win main event, the total number of cars in the pits climbed to 385, easily surpassing the old mark.

With final qualifying features for the Modifieds and Limited Modfieds, plus a full race program for the SUPR Late Models, fans were in store for an exciting conclusion to this years champion races.

Evans elusive enough for Limited Modified main win
One way to keep from being passed for the lead is keeping your competitors far enough behind that they can never mount a challenge. Bullard’s Travis Evans put this strategy into practice on his way to the Limited Modified Championship. Evans got away on the start and subsequent restarts keeping the 26-car field at bay. Evans only pressure came early, when Shane Hebert tried to stay with him.

Evans and Jamie Burford paced the field to green for the 30-lap championship main event. Evans was first into turn 1, with Hebert second and Ted Thomas, Chris Hennigan and Burford three wide for third after Burford slid high in turn 1. Hebert closed in Evans on lap 2 for the lead, but never mounted an attack.

On lap 3 Joe Courvillion, Matt Mueller and Michael Robertson were three abreast for fifth. As Courvillion took the spot, Dennie Geiber moved in making three wide for sixth. By lap 5 Evans had begun to open up an advantage on Hebert. Mueller brought out th yellow on lap 7 when he spun in turn 2 and ended up on top of the infield guard rail.

Once back under green, Evans again inched ahead of Hebert who quickly built a margin over Thomas, Courvilion, Hennigan and Geiber running nose to tail. Robertson, using the high groove got along side and by Geiber for sixth on lap 8. Robertson then around Hennigan for fifth a lap later, while Courvillion was looking under Thomas for third.

Geiber then put the heat on Courvillion for fourth, with Robertson spinning ending his charge to the front. On the restart, Geiber took a peek under Thomas, while former IMCA Sportmod National champion, Jeff Turner worked his way past Burford and Hennigan for sixth. Geiber was finally able to get under Thomas for third on lap 11.

At halfway the top five were Evans, Hebert, Geiber, Thomas and Courvillion. By lap 20 Evans had run away to nearly a full straightaway lead over Hebert. The margin shrunk quickly when former USAC Silver Crown champion, Paul White broke and rolled to stop in turn 2. As the field went back to green, Geiber was putting pressure on Hebert for second, giving Evans the chance to again motor away.

Geiber got the position from Hebert,who slowed and pulled off on lap 22. With five to go Evans had half a straight lead on Geiber, who had a big gap to Courvillion, Thomas, Turner, Burford, Jacob Pirkle and Andy Claiborne. Thomas, Burford and Turner took it three wide for fourth on lap 26. Up front, Evans was still holding a comfortable margin on Geiber as he took the checkers in the Four Seasons Heating & Air Conditioning, Dent Magic, Jeff’s Performance, IRP Chassis.

Texas World Dirt Track Championships, presented by O’Reilly’s Auto Parts @ Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track, 2/27-28/09
By J M Hallas

Ft. Worth, Tx.,(Feb 27th, 2009) In what is rapidly becoming THE biggest dirt track racing event in the region, Texas Motor Speedway’s Dirt Track hosted another year of the Texas World Dirt Track Championship, presented by O’Reilly’s Auto Parts on the 4/10 mile, semi-banked track just north of Ft. Worth.

Drivers from fourteen states and one Canadian province rolled through the pit gates, figuratively, as the overflow of teams quickly spilled over to the adjacent camping area.

The Modified entries of 212, included not only regional and local track champions, rookie’s of the years, but National champions as well. A virtual who’s who in the dirt modified racing community, with heat races that looked more like features at Anytrack, USA on a Saturday night.

Limited Modifieds had 123 drivers signed in, headed by two National champions, one of which came up a little short and failed to qualify through Friday night’s action.

Kicking of the SUPR Late Model season, many of the south, central regions top pilots were on hand for hot lap sessions throughout the night, readying themselves for the $3,500 to win opener n Saturday.

Phillips flies to Modified A-Qualifier win
Springfield, Missouri’s Terry Phillips may be better known for his prowess driving a dirt Late Model, But Friday nights he proved he can handle a Modified as well. Phillips, who started in the second row of Friday night’s A-qualifier, battled by Tommy Meyer for second, hen got the lead from Canadian, Steve Arpin halfway through the 15-lap event. From there Phillips ran away to grab the win.

Meyer and Arpin paced 21-car starting field o green in a fight for the top eight spots to be locked in for Saturday nights championship race. Arpin jumped out front the front stretch beating Meyer in to turn 1 for the lead. In the pack small wars were erupting, with as you would expect, some paint trading and rubbing.

Timothy Culp and Vance Wilson made contact several times before Wilson ended up facing the wrong direction in turn 4 on lap 1 bringing out the yellow. Vance was done for night, while Culp continued with a slightly adjusted door panel. On the restart the field broke away clean, with William Gould quickly moving from the last row, into the top ten.

Gould had just gotten past John Allen for the transfer spot, when Rodney Sanders spun to bring out the caution on lap 3. Once back to green the top three eased away from the est of the field. On lap 5 Phillips started challenging Arpin for the lead. Phillips took a look outside, with Meyer filling the hole low looking for second.

Phillips continued to chase Arpin on the high side and got the edge coming out of turn 2 beating Arpin back to the line to lead on lap 7. Meyer then began to put the heat on Arpin for second, with Gould finally resecuring the fnal transfer spot. Phillips was able to pull away, while Meyer took second from Arpin. As he white flag was shown, Phillips had built nearly a full straightaway lead, easily cruising to the win.
