Abilene, Tx.,(Oct. 15th, 2011) After locking in ten drivers in each of the IMCA classes(Modifieds, Southern Sportmods, Stock Cars and Hobby Stocks), the drivers who failed to make Sundays show got a second chance to grab starting spots up front with a repeat of Fridays procedures, this time for the outside row in the Big A-main and B-main.

The Young Gun Jr. Mini Shootout would also run its program with heats and feature. The 17th Annual Southern Challenge/Ryan Bard Memorial concludes on Sunday with gates opening at 11AM and final qualifying races beginning at 2PM.

Several drivers choose the option to drop qualifying spots from the Big B-Main in an attempt to better their starting spots. Modified National Points runner-up and Stock Car National Champion, Keith White gave up B-main opportunities in both the Modified and Stock Car. Chris Dawson(Modified), Tim Clonch(Stock Car) and Steve Hayes(Sportmod), plus most the Hobby Stock competitors opted to run tonight.

White Winds up in Winners Circle

After giving up a chance to be locked in to Sunday’s Big B-Main, Keith White(Academy) showed why he’s a national points contender. White worked his way up into the top five by halfway, then motored past race long leader Monte Bolton with five laps to go. After a late caution White was able to ease away from the second place battle between Neal Flowers and Charles Brewer.

As green waved on the 21-car, 20-lap IMCA Modified main, Bolton jumped out front chased by Flowers, Robby Edwards, Kelly Allen and Bob Sikes alongside Tim Clonch for fifth. Sikes and Clonch continued their scrap, with White and Brewer side by side behind them. Caleb Stone and Chris Dawson added to the two by two formations behind the lead quartet.

White and Brewer then cleared Sikes for fifth and sixth on lap 5, with Brewer going by Clonch as well. Brewer then put Allen back a spot while White, Clonch and Allen were three wide for fifth. At the crossed flags it was Bolton, Flowers, Edwards, Brewer and White in the top five. Brewer, using the top, got around Edwards for third on lap 10.

White followed Brewers line getting fourth from Edwards then dove back to the bottom under Brewer. Sikes went around in turn 1 collecting Chad Melton for a lap 13 caution. On the restart White got beside Flowers for second while Dawson took fourth from Brewer. White cleared Flowers on lap 14 and got alongside Bolton for the lead.

After a brief side by side battle White got the top spot on lap 15, as Dawson grabbed third from Flowers. Dawson got under Bolton on lap 16 and took the spot. While battling with Flowers for third, Bolton made contact with an infield tire to bring out a yellow on lap 17. White got away clean on the restart while Flowers and Brewer slugged it for second. At the checkers it was White in the Tracys Auto Sales, Braka Operating, Triple T Trucking, Stacys Farms, Tubbs Paint & Body, TCI, Craftmasters Powder Coating, Extreme Graphics, BSB Manufacturing, Belton Iron & Steel, racinwithneal.com, Kempner Iron & Steel, Stephenville Starter, CenTex Motorsports, Hughes Chassis.

Lightning McHayes takes Sportmod Honors

Flying the scheme of “Cars” Lightning McQueen, Eastland’s Steve Hayes was another driver to prove he could drop a guaranteed spot and better his position. Hayes got by early leader Kenneth Graves, who slowed before halfway. Hayes then held off George Egbert and Mark Patterson on two late restarts to grab the win in the 20-lap IMCA Southern Sportmod feature.

Graves beat pole sitter Tyler Fain into turn 1 to get out front of the 21-car event. Fain, Patterson, and Cory Williams fell in line while Hayes, came out of a three wide scramble with fifth. Hayes then picked off Williams for third as the top eight sorted out single file. Chad Hertel, Shane Priddy and Brian Heard went three abreast for sixth when caution waved for an infield tire kicked up on the track.

On the restart Hayes got around Patterson on top, then alongside Fain for second.. Hayes completed that pass on lap 4, while Egbert, Hertel and Heard were now three wide. Egbert got sixth from that fight, and then took fifth from Williams. Fain took a trip through the edge of the infield falling back to fifth. Graves slowed on lap 7 in turn 4 giving up the point to Hayes on lap 8.

Yellow waved on lap 9 for Graves stopped too close to the track. Hayes got a good jump on the restart and coming to halfway it was Hayes, Patterson, Egbert, Fain and Hertel in the top five. Justin Shaw and Priddy both went past Williams for sixth and seventh on lap 10. Egbert was looking outside Patterson for second while Hertel and Fain were side by side for fourth.

Todd Bartlett brought out a caution on lap 12 when he went around on lap 12. Once back to green, Shaw was looking high on Hertel for fifth. Shaw powered by Hertel, then Fain using the top on lap 14. Robert Crabtree spun and collected Kyle Wisdom for a lap 18 yellow.

Hayes got away on green, but Wisdom, Johnny Braswell and Roger Pierce tangled in turn 3, with Mike Easterwood and Heard making contact coming to yellow. Hayes got away from Patterson, Egbert and Shaw who had a gap to Fain, Robison and Hertel. Hayes would run unchallenged in the Braka Operating, Buckeye Supply, Rusteeze, Triple T Trucking, CenTex Motorsports, Big Chief Chassis by White.

White Wire to Wire for I-Stock Win

Keith White doubled up in two ways during the 20-lap IMCA Stock Car feature. White gave up a second spot in Sundays Big B-Main where he would have started on the pole, instead White drew the pole for the A-Qualifier. From there the National Champion showed the field nothing but his rear bumper. Bo Briley was able to close on White in traffic, but a sniff at the lead was all he got as White took his second win of the night.

White quickly jumped into the lead from the pole trailed by Briley, Mike McCarthy, Travis Sutherlin and Tim Clonch. Mart Wampler and Jody York got together on lap 1 for an early caution. Once back to green White and Briley began to break away, while Clonch pressured Sutherlin for fourth. As Clonch looked low on Sutherlin, Cory Davis was working the top side getting by both Clonch and Sutherlin for fourth.

Chris Hale Followed in Davis’ tracks(pun intended) to take fifth on lap 7. Davis kept the march forward on getting alongside McCarthy for third. At the mid-point it was White, Briley, Davis, McCarthy and Hale in the top five, with the leader coming up on traffic. Hale then got by McCarthy for fourth on lap 12.

As White fought to get through lapped traffic, Briley began to cut his lead with five to go. Clonch was able to work his way around McCarthy to take back fifth. Briley got to within a few car lengths of White with two to go. That would be as close as he could get as White in Tracys Auto Sales, Braka Operating, Triple T Trucking, Stacys Farms, Tubbs Paint & Body, TCI, Craftmasters Powder Coating, Extreme Graphics, BSB Manufacturing, Belton Iron & Steel, racinwithneal.com, Kempner Iron & Steel, Stephenville Starter, CenTex Motorsports, Medieval Chassis.

Talk Takes Top Spot in Hobby Stocks

In a race that took a while to get started, Hawley’s Tobie Talk did more than that. Talk got around early leader Amanda Brewer on lap 3 then built leads despite numerous cautions throughout the time shortened event. Talk was first to the checkers in the Happy Trails Rustic Furniture, Firestone, Danz Designs, Big Johns, CenTex Motorsports, Destroyer Chassis.

On the initial start of the scheduled 20-lap, 17-car event George Locke, Billy Briley and Alec Smith tangled in turn 1 to bring yellow back out. The second try wasn’t better as this time Chase Person and Jordan Lathram got together in turn 2. The third time was a charm with Brewer getting out front trailed by Talk, Aaron Elliott, Tommy Phillips and Wendall Kurts.

Brewer and Talk were side by side on lap 2 with Talk getting the advantage on lap 3. Elliott tried to follow him through, but fell back in line. Parson spun on lap 3 getting hung on an infield tire and giving Brewer a break as she spun on the other end of the track. Once back to green Brewer got sideways off turn 4 slowing Elliott and giving Phillips a run up top.

Brewer again got crossed up the next lap this time blocking Phillips and leaving an opening for Elliott to grab third. After two yellows for spins by Smith, Talk eased away from Elliott while Dustin Mims got by Kurts for fourth. Briley was next to put Kurts back a spot taking fifth on lap 6. Yellow waved on lap 6 for Jaron Shahon who was shedding body parts on the track.

On the restart Briley took third from Brewer, while Jerry West, who started dead last, made his way into the top five. West then snagged fourth from D. Mims as the race neared the proposed half way point. Derek Sparks spun in turn 2 on lap 13 for another caution prompting officials to cut the race to 15 laps. Talk got away clean while Briley snuck past Elliott for second. Briley couldn’t get close enough for a challenge as Talk walked across the line for the win

Marcum Masters Street Stocks

Tony Marcum caught a break early in the 20-lap Street Stock feature and parlayed it into a win. T. Marcum and John Rister made contact and went around, but Jonathon Wright had already spun on the other end of the track and got charged with the yellow. T. Marcum got by early leader Chris Pippin then took off from the pack and snagged the win.

Pippin grabbed the point on lap 1 followed by Bobby Cox, David Collins, T. Marcum and J. Rister. Aaron Elliott made an early charge going past Steve Marcum and J.. Rister for fourth. Wright went around in turn 4, while T. Marcum spun and collected J. Rister in turn 2 with Wright getting tagged with the yellow and T. Marcum his spot back, while J. Rister pitted with damage.

On the restart T. Marcum charged into the lead while Cox and Elliott ran side by side for third. That fight continued for three laps until Elliott finally secured the spot on lap 12. Up front T. Marcum was stretching out his advantage over Pippin, who held a gap back to Elliott in third. T. Marcum held his margin over Pippin as he scored the checkers.

Cooper Captures Young Guns Victory

John Freeman got out front early in the 15-lap Young Guns Jr. Mini Stock feature pursued by Bryce Pritchett, Jarred Marquez and Trinten Turley. Turley worked his way up to get the top spot on lap 3, with Brook Cooper getting by B. Pritchett for second. Cooper began looking outside Turley for the lead when yellow waved for debris.

On the restart Cooper was able to get around Turley for the top spot on lap 10. As Cooper edged away, Tyler Webb and B. Pritchett battled for third. Webb got the position followed by Jarrett Roberts. Webb and Roberts traded some paint fighting for third while Cooper was cruising to the victory.

Wiley White Wins Another One

Keith White(Academy) once again showed he was the force to be reckoned with in the IMCA Modified class this year. Much the same as last night White ran in the top five throughout the early stages of the 20-lap main. White caught early leader John Gober then moved to the high side to get by Gober just past halfway. From there White survived a couple restarts while Gober was fighting to fend off Andy Gage for second. Tyler Iverson recovered from an early trip to the back for fourth, with Gabe Tucker rounding out the top five.

As the green flag flew on the 20-car IMCA Modified main Gober was first into turn 1 followed by Caleb Stone, Fred Wojtek and Jacob Anson. Just as Scotty Brown got by Anson for fourth yellow waved for a spin by Iverson. On the restart Anson was forced to check up in turn 2 collecting Monte Bolton. Once back to green White was pressuring Brown for fourth. Wojtek looked under Stone for second taking the spot on lap 3.

Brown and White closed on Stone with Brown getting third on lap 4 and White going past on lap 5. White and Brown then ran wheel to wheel for third, with White taking the spot on lap 8 as Dillon Smith got around Stone for fifth. White then picked off Wojtek for second leaving him side by side with Brown for third. At the halfway point it was Gober, White, Wojtek, Brown and Smith in the top five.

White kept the heat on Gober until he slipped past on lap 11 for the lead. Mark Patterson made contact with Iverson, who marching forward, with Patterson getting up on two wheels and stopping for a lap 13 caution. On he restart White good a huge jump, while Brown pressured Wojtek. Wojtek would spin and collect Chase Jupe and Stone. On the next restart Gober tried to hang with White while challenged by Gage. As those two battled, White eased away.

In the pack, Pat McGuire was able to get past Danny Hogue for sixth, but gave the spot back a lap later. In the waning laps Gage tried and tried to find a way around Gober getting along side at times. This gave White in the Tracys Auto Sales, Braka Operating, Extreme Graphics, Tony’s Custom Carbs, Craftmasters, Belton Pipe, Kempner Iron & Metal, BSB Manufacturing, Temple Iron & Metal, AMSOil, TCI, Centex Motorsports, Hughes Chassis smooth sailing to checkers. Gober was able to hold off Gage for second.

“I was able to run the top or the bottom,” said White. “It would go through the middle and through the rough stuff. The car was just awesome. We passed them on the top and bottom. I think you could see my grinning through my helmet.”

“When you car you like you become comfortable with it and it’s predictable. I try not not to adjust myself out. The car should be an extension of the driver. You just leave them alone and not change a lot.”

“I’m pretty superstitious about a bunch of stuff, but talking about going three for three isn’t one of them. It doesn’t bother me. We’d like to sweep the weekend and I’d like to win one in the I-stock. I gave hat one away last night.”

Poor Paces Sportmod Scramble

Bradley poor and Doug Easterling battled early in the 20-lap IMCA Southern Sportmod main until Easterling fell out with a flat. Jesse Sobbing, running a Northern Sportmod caught Poor with the two making contact sending Poor around. By track rules, the leader was awarded his spot back, while Sobbing went to the tail. The race ended with some controversy under yellow on the final lap with Poor taking the win.

Poor beat Easterling into turn 1 at the start only to have Easterling go by in turns 3-4. Behind them Brad Shirley spun to bring out a caution and a complete restart. Poor again jumped out front in turn 1, but was overtaken by Easterling at the other end. Poor fell in line second with Gary Fox and TJ Green in tow. Poor looked under Easterling and got along side when Easterling pulled up with a flat giving the lead back to Poor on lap 3.

Sobbing, Todd Bartlett and Ronnie Welborn tried three wide coming out of turn 2 and contact was made sending Bartlett around, and Welborn to the pits with damage. Under caution Bartlett let Sobbing know he wasn’t happy tagging his door and promptly receiving the black flag. On the restart the top four took off leaving Sobbing side by side with Kenneth Graves for fifth. Sobbing then got past Jeff Turner who slowed and pulled off.

Up front Poor was holding a slight advantage as Fox ran side by side with TJ Green for second. TJ Green took the spot with Sobbing now putting the heat on Fox. At th crossed flags it was Poor ,TJ Green, Sobbing, Fox and Matt Mueller in th top five. Sobbing used the top to get along side and by TJ Green on lap 11. Sobbing closed in on Poor for the lead on lap 13.

Sobbing tapped Poor on lap 14 sending him around with several other spinning behind them. Poor retook the point as the top five pulled away on green with Kevin Green getting by Fox for third. Sobbing and Robert Crabtree got in game of tag on the final lap with Sobbing drilling Crabtree in turn 3. With the white already out the race finished under yellow with Poor in the Evan Williams, Coors Light, Braka Operating, Famous Daves, Showtime Signs & Designs, Abilene Powder Coating Clyde Gardner powered, Big Chief Chassis taking the win.

“Being up front is what helped us last night,” replied Poor. “Just trying to stay out of all the rough stuff. The car worked really well. I have a lot of good people putting a lot of effort. I heard about the melee going on behind me, but it was fun. I’ve got a lot confidence in this car and the people that work on it.”

“I really wasn’t that upset when I got spun because I new I’d probably get my spot back. Everyone thought that I’d be mad. I felt like I was probably the fastest one at that point. He may have been faster to catch me, but I knew he wasn’t going be an issue anymore..”

Killen Clips White on Final lap for I-Stock Win

It’s not often Keith White gives someone an opening, but when you get it you’d better grab it. Randy Killen, who lead the majority of the 20-lap feature, gave way to White in his new I-Stock. Killen was able able to sneak by White on a late restart beating White to the checkers by a car length.

It was three wide for the lead as green waved on the 20-car IMCA Stock Car feature. Michael Sheen emerged from that scrap with the lead trailed by William Creese, Jesse Taylor, Billy Wade and Killen. Wade got by both Taylor and Creese for second followed by Killen to third. Shane Priddy and Duain Pritchett got hooked together on lap with David Phillips and Cory Davis getting tangled and other getting a piece of the action.

On the restart Killen got ahead while Wade got loose giving up spots to Taylor and White. Taylor and White then ran door to door for position while Ronny Gould made his way past Wade for fifth. Taylor and White both went by Sheen on lap 7 for second and third. As Taylor and White continued to run side by side, Gould took fourth from Sheen. Coming to halfway with Killen out front, White eased past Taylor, with Gould and Sheen holding the rest of the top five.

Creese spun from a three wide mid-pack battle to bring out a yellow on lap 13. On the restart White looked high on Killen as Gould tried low on White for second. White got by Killen for the lead on lap 16 with Killen and Gould making contact that gave Taylor an opening for third. Gould retook third only to spin in turn 4 to bring out a lap 17 yellow.

Once back to green White, Killen and Taylor broke away with Killen taking a look low on White for the lead back. As the white flag waved Killen again gave White a look low in turn 1, and again in turn 3. White appeared to clip a rut and drift up in turn 4 giving Killen in the Dons Tire& Auto, Bobs Transmissions, Jason’s Tree Service, Mid-States Machine, Terminator Chassis an opening to outrace White to checkers.

“It was just a lot of luck,” replied Killen. “That guy messed up on the last lap. I led it most of the way and let him get around me. I was lucky on that last turn that my car stuck and I was able to get back around him. My mom and dad help me a lot they’re my biggest sponsors.”

“This is the first race of the season and we come down here to race. It’s in our blood, you know. We want to race as soon as we can and can’t wait for winter to get over up there. We don’t come down here knowing we can win, e just come to have some fun.”

“These guys down here are tough, especially this year. They’ve got a lot of nice cars and do a lot of work on them.. They’ve really stepped it up. Before we were quite a bit faster.”

Montgomery Muscles by on Final Lap for Hobby Honors

In the second thrilling finish of the night, Allen Montgomery snuck past Adam Armstrong on the final lap for the victory. Armstrong, who lead the majority of the laps then gave way the last ½ lap as he slipped up in the final corners giving Montgomery, who worked his way up through the field, the opportunity to eke out the win.

Armstrong jumped out into turn 1 to lead the 20-car, 20-lap the IMCA Hobby Stock feature. Ryan Gilland, Cory Adams, Mitch Calvert and Montgomery fell in line behind the leader. Adams got by Gilland for second on lap 1 with Montgomery taking fourth from Calvert. Debris in turn 1 brought out a lap 2 caution. Armstrong got a good jump as green flew again as Adams retook second from Gilland.

Andy Roller and John Watson both got around Calvert on lap 2 for fifth and sixth. Watson went by Roller a lap later for fifth. Watson caught Montgomery as hey both ran down and passed Gilland for third and fourth. Watson continued his charge to the front taking third from Montgomery on lap 8. At the midway point it was Armstrong, Adams, Watson, Montgomery and Gilland in the top five.

Watson slowed with a flat on lap 10, while Roller and Shawn Slezak went past Gilland. Jackie Dooley spun in turn 2 to bring out a caution. On the restart Adams got under Armstrong for the lead on lap 11. Armstrong got back inside Adams retaking the point on lap 13. Slezak was now pressuring Montgomery for third as Roller and Gilland ran side by side for fifth.

Jeff Kinniard slapped the wall and stopped for a caution. Once back to green Montgomery took second from Adams as he and Armstrong eased away. Montgomery hung on to Armstrong’s rear bumper keeping the heat on. As the white flag waved Montgomery took a look low and was able a bite coming of turn 4 to grab the victory in the Stephenville Starter, Ace Tire Service, Extreme Graphics, Texas Star Racing, Master Repair, HDC Fabrication, Niwdog Race Engines, reworked Destroyer Chassis.

“The motor was what got it for me,” commented Montgomery. “I’ve got a buddy that’s helping me out with motors this year. That meant all the difference coming off that last corner. Even hitting that rut it didn’t bog, got a bite and just went on with it.”

“There isn’t any plan out there on a track like that. I was running the top and really didn’t think I had anything for them. After that caution I went to the bottom and it had some bite. You had to run through a rut down there, but their cars pushed up and mine didn’t. I was able to get on by.”

“Nyle Godwin out of Iowa with Niwdog Racing Engines brought me motors and I don’t know what’s in them but it’s help close the gap between us and the north guys. I didn’t ask any questions, and it runs good.”
