Keene scores wire-to-wire win at Desoto
by Scott Lockwood
The last time Daniel Keene Jr. turned a wheel at Desoto Speedway six years ago, he found himself sitting in victory lane. That layoff proved not to be a detriment to Keene, who led all 75 laps of Saturday night's Turner Tree & Landscape Super Late Model feature event at the three-eighths mile oval. A 12-car inversion put Keene and Brian Blum on the front row, with fast qualifier Jesse Dutilly of Bradenton and Sarasota's Anthony Campi being forced to start 12th and 11th respectively.
Keene jumped out to the lead on the start and began pulling away until the caution flew for Dusty Cornelius' spin on lap 10. Dutilly moved up to seventh by the 15-lap mark. On a lap 22 restart, Dutilly was sixth with Campi directly behind in seventh. Campi and Dutilly were fighting side by side for fifth when a spin by Bradenton's Dennis Colletti brought out the yellow flag. Campi would get by Dutilly for third with 15 laps left in the race and began running down Keene and Chris
Fontaine, who had moved into second place at the halfway point of the race. With seven laps to go, Fontaine got to Keene's rear bumper coming out of turn four. The two made contact going down the main straightaway, but Keene was able to maintain his lead as the cars made their way down the back stretch. "I caught him at a spot where I knew I was faster," Fontaine said. "He messed up and I got a little advantage. I knew I was going to have to touch him a little bit but I definitely didn't mean to get into him that hard. I'm glad he saved it." The contact allowed Campi to close on Fontaine's rear bumper and all three cars were nose-to-tail over the final five laps. Fontaine made one last effort to grab the lead going into turn three on the final lap, but Keene would hold on and collect a wire-to-wire win. "This car was great tonight," Keene said in victory lane. "The last time we were here was in 2008, and we also won that night. It's nice to come back again and back that night up."
Fontaine held off Campi's last-second charge for second. I wore the car out running him (Keene) down," Fontaine said. "I wore myself out trying to catch him and I had nothing left when I got there. We'll definitely take second tonight."Campi said he was trying to run clean all night and had the race been 100 laps, the result may have been a little different. "We had a long-run setup and we just ran out of time," Campi said. Dutilly finished fourth, while Jake Perkins rounded out the top five.
In other action Saturday night, Bradneton's Dennis Wilson, Jr. won the 30-lap Street Stock feature; Darren Bass won the Dwarf Car feature; Ronnie Robinson took the win in the Pro 4 division; and Zach Rogers took the win in the Rookie 4 division.
Desoto Speedway returns to action next Saturday night with the opening race of the Joey Coulter Florida Pro Truck Series opening race. The series is named for current NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver Joey Coulter. Pure Stocks, Modified Minis, Dwarf Cars, Legends, Open Wheel Modifieds and Mini Stocks will all also be in action.

When the green waved Reutimann took over the lead with Bregenzer right behind him and on the first lap. It was Reutimann having just a half a car length advantage over Bregenzer at the start/finish line on the very next lap. The first caution would come out on lap two as Travis Varnadore had spun over in turn four. Reutimann would lead the way once again as he and Sanders battled on lap six and the two were side by side at the line. But it was on lap eight as Sanders and Reutimann got together with Sanders spinning out and came to rest in four. Only two more cautions would come out as Reutimann went on to win the Gagel's Open Wheel Modified 15 lap Feature. Rounding out the top five were Travis Varnadore, Bregenzer, Sanders and Tim Gay.
Next were the Q Auto & Injury Attorneys Street Stocks. Winning their heats early on were Buck Woodhouse and Thomas Burnside.

The 25 Lap Feature for the Late Models was next as Keith Nosbisch, Kyle Bronson and Josh Peacock winning their heats early on. For the feature it was Keith Nosbisch and Kyle Bronson starting on the front row.

All cars were able to continue for a complete restart. On the restart it was Nosbisch taking the lead with Josh Peacock and Kyle Bronson trailing behind. It was on lap seven when a caution would come out as Dalton Myers spun in turn two with Nosbisch still in the lead as Bronson had moved up to second with Peacock now third. Caution would come out once again on lap fourteen as David Pollen, Jr. slowed and would exit the track ending his night. On the restart Bronson was right on the back bumper of Nosbisch as the two went into turn two with Nosbisch sliding into the backstretch wall.

Bronson thanked his crew and the Hammond's for letting him drive their cars. Rounding out the top five were Jack Nosbisch, Jr., Bryan Bernhardt, David Schmauss and Kyle Mussleman.

War of words heats up between Citrus County Speedway and Showtime Speedway
Robert Yoho - Showtime Speedway:
We at Showtime Speedway understand everyone's concern about the Sprint Car shows being booked on top on each other. With the commitment from Team Hamilton and some other out of state teams along with some of the top USAC teams this was the only weekend available for them. With that being said, a good month ago a local team reached out to Mr Butler and asked him to change their date and was told it was up to Gary LaPlant. I then called Gary and asked him about the possible date change and he told me that it was up to Mr Butler. At that point it appeared they didnt want to work with us and I had no choice but to move ahead with the show as scheduled. Thank you for your understanding and hope to see everyone this weekend for the best Winged Outlaw Sprint Car racing in the state of Florida. Also Team Hamilton and other's would of attend Citrus the week after, it just didn't work out. There will be Great racing at both Tracks so please go watch at either Track the show's will all be Good!
Gary Laplant - Citrus County Speedway:
I was not going to say a word about htis matter till I read the post above and called Yoho on the matter this A.M and he hung up on me about this matter. Ctirus County Speedway Posted back in OCt 2013 that we would be running wingless sprint cars the first Sat of every month in 2014 Feb to Nov.. The comments that Robert Yoho made are not 100% right. Not even close. He did call me on this matter to cancel my race. My comment to him was how come you put a date on top of Citrus that was set back in Oct of 2013 when Mr Butler and I posted we were going to start the class for our track. Yoho told me to be honest when we decide to do this show and never thought about the wingless sprint or your race. Then Yoho went on explaining he has 26 car coming down and so on. I asked if that was the case why would you be worried about the cars I might have coming to Citrus. Yoho put the date on top of mine without even looking at other sprint races that night, my race was planned months before Yoho scheduled his. If anyone should have canceled the race it should have been Yoho. I was not going to say a word about this matter till I read MR Yoho's comments which are 100% not true!!! I will work with other tracks but if I have a date set months prior ahead why would another just put a date on top of him them ask them to change there date????? Yohoo know better then pull this then act like I was wrong.
FOLKS SHOWTIME IS HERE TO STAY. MR. Laplant, You have a hearing problem, I said we would have 26 cars each night at each track if we were on Different dates. The resaon I needed the Wofs and Sprints together they will be racing each other. Team Halmilton would go up to Citrus to race with you the following week. Also keep in mind alot of Fans only like sprint car racing, now they are split. We both lose, And Tom is Right I WOULD OF TOLD EVERYONE THAT THEY WOULD BE A CITRUS NEXT WEEK RUNNING A NON-WING RACE. I also had m schedule out for this year before anyone, would you like me to show how many dates you put on top of mine. Also just like Mike B. said some racers are only going to run a Home track. Lots of good points made. All we can do is hope the fans in Florida go to any short track this week and watch a show, no matter were.
Gary Laplant - Citrus County Speedway
Let me get this right Citrus Speedway announced they will be running Sprint Cars every Saturday night form Feb to Nov in Oct 13 then posted there full Schedule in Nov 13 This gaurantee the Sprint Cars 10 months of racing like a series would do.
Now here comes another track Promoter Yoho books a date for March 1st In January 2014 then calls Me at the end of Jan and want me to Cancel my race for week in March and with a few days on FEB 1 Citrus had 26 car race.
Just a question so some of you really think I shoud should have just say yes to MR Yoho I will please you since you want to top race that i had on my Schedule months before you even before you thought about a Sprint car race in March. You really think I should have just gave in to Him????? At this point why do we evey have a racing schedule for then any more??
Yoho and I did talk he expained to me he already had 20 to 25 coming from Ind to race and it would be a win for both track. I asked him well if you already have 20 to 25 coming why would you even need the any form my track????
Now really what should have happened is for Yoho to have looked at how many car I had within a few day of our conversation and say maybe I need to rethink my racing date for a week myself and work better with a Man that got 26 sprint cars to a track is sprint car first race as a new promoter instead of trying to cut my throat.
Just my thought on the mattter Place your self in my shoes what would you have done??? Remember some racers look at all the schedule and plan each week out for the year and I would have replaced at least two week of my Schedule to Please Mr Yoho putting a race on top on my race date.
Let go racing and have fun this great weekend coming up know matter where you go and be safe.

Coby Takes UNOH Battle at the Beach
Coby Masters Daytona Modified Field
Story By: Jason Christley NASCAR Media Photos By: Getty Images
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. February 18,2014... Defending NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion Ryan Preece dominated the UNOH Battle At The Beach at Daytona Int'l Speedway, but it was Doug Coby who celebrated in victory lane.
Preece, who led the first 147 laps from the pole, hit the spinning lapped car of David Sapienza with eight laps remaining, giving Coby the break he needed. The contact badly bent the left-rear wheel on Preece's No. 16 and when the race resumed with three laps to go he couldn't hold the bottom groove, allowing Coby to sneak from third to the lead.
Coby led the final three circuits on the temporary three-eighths-mile track located on the backstretch at the superspeedway and earned $20,000 in his first race in the No. 2 modified.
"Daytona is big for racing. It doesn't matter what you race here to be a winner at this race track and bring it home for a brand new team in its first time out with the car," Coby said. "I tried to be as patient as I could and tried to get spots on the restarts to put myself in a position to be there at the end. We got lucky when that caution came out. Ryan had a great car and was driving away, but this is the Battle At The Beach and there are no points."
Jason Myers applied the chrome horn to Coby exiting the fourth turn on the final lap, but Coby held on. Myers finished second with Luke Fleming, Preece and Burt Myers rounding out the top five.
"I don't even know what to say about it," Preece said. "It is unfortunate. This is horrible. To win at Daytona would have meant a lot to me."
The finish:
Doug Coby, Jason Myers, Luke Fleming, Ryan Preece, Burt Myers, Tommy Barrett Jr., Cody Ware, Ron Silk, Eric Goodale, J.R. Bertuccio, Donny Lia, Patrick Emerling, Rob Fuller, David Sapienza, Justin Bonsignore, Cole Powell, Kyle Benjamin, Dalton Baldwin, A.J. Winstead, Jeremy Gerstner, Jimmy Zacharias, Jonathan Kievman, David Brigati.
A lot of folks are asking questions about today's announcement about the "Gateway Express" project. This has been part of the plan for a long time. Fortunately, the State is sticking to the original plans that DO NOT INCLUDE using the Speedway.
The State has committed to working with us and we have a lot of support from our local elected officials. We are confident that the new road and the speedway can co-exist.
Driver Seat Racing, Inc. is pleased to announce their sponsorship and management of the 2014 Southern Pro Am Truck Series (SPATS), the southeast's newest Pro Truck oval track racing series.
The Southern Pro Am Truck Series is made up of professional and amateur race car drivers, and due to the variety of racing experience, SPATS will facilitate a team atmosphere. SPATS members will be encouraged to help fellow members (teammates) improve each week. The Southern Pro Am Truck Series goals are to provide up-to-date communication to its members and attract new members by providing a fun, competitive and hassle-free racing experience. In addition, Driver Seat Racing and SPATS have recruited current Pro Truck drivers to help with rule improvements, tech inspections, and consulting on the overall function of the series.
Since pro trucks are the next step up for teens racing in the Legend, Mini Cup and Pro Cup Challenge Racing Series, SPATS will use its relationship with Lee Falk Racing and Development to support their advancement to the next levels of limited late models, late model stock, K&N Series/ARCA...
With major companies backing the series (see website), another goal of SPATS is to increase the popularity of Pro Truck oval track racing throughout the Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, South and North Carolina racing communities.

ATTEN: ALL DRIVERS AND FANSWe have some very disappointing News as of 02/10/2014 Ellisville Speedway LLC. WILL NOT BE OPEN THIS SEASON. We would like to thank everyone that has joined us in the Past and become part of the Ford Family. *If anything changes we will keep you Up Dated.*
Below is a post from an obviously misinformed member of Karnac. We at Florida Racing are not "antagonistic" whatsoever to Karnac. In fact we have a link to Karnac in our favorite links area on our front page. You will not see a link on Karnac to Florida Racing and anytime someone posts a link to our site it is deleted. Now who is antagonistic as this Karnac member says? Because some of our guests post negative statements about Karnac in no way reflects the Florida Racing management's opinion of Karnac. In fact according to the many e-mails we've received most of the negative posts about Karnac are from former and current members of Karnac who are upset that they have been banned or their posts were deleted. Just wanted to set the record straight. Like I said we have a link to Karnac on our front page.
New Smyrna Speedway Statement Regarding Cancellation of PASS Race
"We are very surprised and extremely disappointed in the cancellation of the PASS event at New Smyrna Speedway for this coming weekend. We felt it was going to be an exciting race for the fans and competitors alike. Officials from PASS decided they needed to cancel the event Friday evening. We, at New Smyrna Speedway, know how much effort the racers were making in the preparation of their cars, especially those coming from long distances, and the logistics teams have already made to compete in this event. For this, we are deeply saddened. We do not like to have a race on our schedule and cancel it a week out from the event.
"For all those that did make the effort to compete in this event, we extend the invitation to race at New Smyrna Speedway during the World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing from February 14- 22. In fact, for those that want to race during the World Series and were listed on the pre-entered list for the PASS event originally scheduled on February 8th, we will offer four free pit-passes to be used for the team on the first night that the team competes during the World Series."
Robert HartOwner, New Smyrna Speedway
PASS Cancels New Smyrna Event; Greenville To Open PASS National, South, and Pro Late Model Seasons
For Immediate Release
CHARLOTTE, NC (February 1) – Due to circumstances out of their control and with great disappointment, Pro All Stars Series (PASS) officials announced today the cancellation of next weekend's Winter Meltdown at New Smyrna Speedway. Miscommunication which resulted in the speedway website not being updated with information about the event, the speedway marquee not being changed to promote the event and a test session scheduled by the speedway that would have extremely limited PASS teams practice time on Friday led to the cancellation. For any teams that pre-entered for the Winter Meltdown, those entries will be refunded and mailed out on Monday. Any teams that would like to transfer entries to the Greenville-Pickens Speedway event on March 1 need to contact the PASS offices by Monday.
"We are extremely disappointed in having to cancel the Winter Meltdown at New Smyrna Speedway," said PASS President Tom Mayberry. "I know that this is very inconvenient for our teams that have prepared their cars and booked travel to Florida, but we felt this decision was best in light of the circumstances. With that said, we're very excited to kick our season off at Greenville-Pickens on March 1."
The Fox Carolina 150 at Greenville-Pickens Speedway on March 1 will now become a PASS National Championship Series event and will also serve as the opener for the PASS South Super Late Models and PASS Pro Late Models. The Pro All Stars Series is recognized as North America's premier sanctioning body for asphalt Super Late Models and boasts such marquee events as PASS South's Easter Bunny 150 at the historic Hickory Motor Speedway, the Autobus La Quebecoise Triple Crown at Autodrome Chaudière, and the legendary Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway. For technical information concerning all PASS divisions please send questions to firstname.lastname@example.com. For media or marketing questions, please contact Alan Dietz at 704-231-2039 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Please visit ProAllStarsSeries.com for more information.

Joey Coulter's Fellows Truck Brokers Florida Pro-Truck Series going to get Dirty!
Orlando FL. 1-31-14 - Series director Rick Bristol, and Joey Coulter have reached an agreement to run two dirt races as part of the 15 race schedule for the Fellows Truck Brokers Florida Pro-Truck Series. The events will be July 12th & October 4th at the North Florida Speedway.
"We think this helps make this series a real stepping stone for the truck drivers. They can develop skills on asphalt and dirt to help them gain experience for future racing aspirations. We are also working toward adding next year a road course event, as we tried to do back in 2012 with our other series, then it is a full series with real credibility" stated Bristol.
" We are excited to be a part of Joey's series and to be able to host two event here at North Florida Speedway. I have worked with Rick and Joey with the Coulter Charity 200 Race Weekend for 5 years now and we want to join in this series, but also on October 4th we will make it a Charity Race Night event on Dirt to help the children and families with terminal illnesses that Rick and Joey help each year. I will have the track in smooth, hard shape for them to race so it will not be as hard to adapt these first couple events. They will be able to use the tires they run on, we may just have them do some grooving on them. We will test some tires and do all we can to make this work with out to much cost and make it to complicated, we can do this". stated Phil Guadagno owner of North Florida Speedway.
"Rick and I really want the series to be a viable stepping stone to future racing for the drivers that have that goal. Dirt experience has helped me and I know it will them, we really feel this makes the series stronger. We also want to add a road course event, it does not look like we can this year but we want to see if we can add in for next season. Phil, Rick and myself will do all we can to make this easy and fun for the drivers, so they can enjoy the experience" added Joey Coulter.
To help with adding dirt races, each driver will be able to drop two of the 15 scheduled races. 1 dirt and 1 asphalt, those will have to be dropped at the next to last event before they go to the season finale 75 lapper. A rules package will be worked on and given to the drivers for the two dirt races. It will explain what can and can not be done to the trucks for these races. Only some things will be allowed to be done to keep this inexpensive, and not allow full blown dirt trucks to come and run away with things.
Also the series rules, schedule and points fund pay out is now available on line at www.carsevents.com on the right column of links near top. This is in transition while the web site is being worked on. The race purses and info is also on there. A registration form will be up soon.
"Sponsoring the series is becoming more exciting each day, as I see the vision Joey and Rick have for this series and how it can grow and be a vital stepping stone to the racers in Florida. We are proud to be a part of it" stated Donna Fellows, CFO with Fellows Truck Brokers.

I am thankful to Rex Guy and Rick Williams for cooperating by releasing the trucks from FUPS and allowing us to work together to have a premier truck series. I am thankful also for Rex and Auburndale Speedway, Jaimie Haase and Three Palms Speedway, Jimmy Cope and Desoto Speedway and Gary Laplant and Citrus County Speedway joining and supporting what Rick and I are trying to accomplish. Rick and I will work hard to make sure the tracks, drivers and sponsors have a well run, professional series that they can be proud to be a part of.

They will promote their company but also some of the Cancer Charity events they hold to help various charities.
"When Rick asked me about being a part, honestly I looked for every reason to say no, but after working with Rick on several charity events and meeting Joey Coulter at the charity race, I had to say yes. Sometimes people are brought together for a reason, that's how I feel about working with Rick and Joey with our company and doing great things for the charities we both care about very much. We look forward to doing some great things together promoting the trucks, tracks and our companies and charity events, and we sponsor Kim Scheffler's truck as well" stated Donna Fellows.

Hi to all of our TBARA teams!
Let's kick off our 2014 racing season with lots of good news. It's going to be a great year to race with the Safety Kleen TBARA sprints! Currently, we have 12-14 races at 6 different tracks, AND a much larger point fund of $10,000.
Orlando Speedworld has signed on for 3 TBARA races in 2014. They will be held on Saturday nights, and NOT on Friday nights like in past years. This brings our current total of races up to 12. We are still in negotiations with De Soto about adding 2 more races there, so we'll let you know how that comes out as soon as things are settled.
Remember, the season opens with our return to Auburndale Speedway. It is our first visit back there in 9 years, so we need a great car count to impress the fans and track management. We are there on a trial basis: if we show up in good numbers and have a good show, then we will get future events at this excellent, centrally located track. It goes down on March 15'th!
As you know, 3 Palms Speedway postponed our season opener because they would not have the track rebuilt in time. They are currently waiting on a shipment of materials to get the fencing, lighting, seating etc. back in place. At press time, 3 Palms is hosting us on April 26, and on Halloween night October 31. The Halloween race is on a Friday night, and 3 Palms management is hoping to make that into a 2 day, double event with feature races on both Friday and Saturday nights.
Here is our schedule:•March 15 - Auburndale Speedway•March 22 – De Soto Speedway•April 19 – Orlando Speedworld•April 26 – 3 Palms Speedway•May 10 – New Smyrna Speedway•August 30 – New Smyrna Speedway•September 20 – Orlando Speedworld•October 4 – De Soto Speedway•October 18 – Citrus County Speedway•October 31 – 3 Palms Speedway•November 1 – 3 Palms Speedway•November 15 – Orlando Speedworld
Our 2014 Championship point fund will be $10,000! That is more than 3 times the size of recent years. Our series sponsor, Safety Kleen, has transitioned from being a "products only" sponsor, to being a cash sponsor for our club. As you can see in the logo above, we are referring to ourselves as the "Safety Kleen TBARA Sprint Car Series". Let's keep the money flowing in by supporting the organizations that support us. Remember, we are the "Safety Kleen TBARA Sprints"!
Also, our new agreement with American Racer tires will benefit our championship fund, and in a larger amount than our previous agreement did. The new tires are on order, and will arrive soon at Steele Performance. Sorry, but they are not sure of the exact arrival date at this time. Remember, you can use up your Hoosiers in your first two races of the year. TBARA will work with you so that this transition is as smooth and painless as possible for all our teams.
As you know, it has been several years since we have had an awards banquet. This year, we are planning to have one, but we would like your input about what kind of party to put on. Beer and wings? Suit and tie? Give it some thought and let us know, ok?
Although the officer election is behind us, please note that we are always happy to accept more volunteer help. If you are a team player who wants to see the Safety Kleen TBARA Sprint Car Series thrive and grow, then jump on in! We'll find a way you can contribute to the club.
That's it for now, but remember that we are taking the green flag in March with back-to-back events at Auburndale and DeSoto!
With best regards,Buff FritzTBARA President

Joey Coulter Florida Pro-Truck Series announced
1-14-14 - Nascar Camping World Truck Series driver Joey Coulter wanted to see the Pro-Truck series in Florida continue and be successful, as it is where he started his short track career after go-karts. Coulter was committed to a 8 race series with Rick Bristol and Citrus County Speedway, but wanted to have a series going to other tracks. He asked Bristol to reach out to see if they could put together a deal with the other tracks and head the series up.
After some communication we are pleased to announce the cooperation of Citrus County Speedway, Auburndale Speedway and Three Palms Speedway and working to finalize another track and even a dirt event at as part of the series. A 14 race series is the plan. Rex Guy and Rick Williams in cooperation, and to work with Coulter and Bristol have agreed to release the trucks from the FUPS brand as they believe it is best for there to be just the one series so it can grow and be successful. Coulter brings credibility to the series and Bristol is Coulter's choice to head it up. The full schedule and final tracks will be released in the next couple days but the first race will tentatively be March 15th. This has come together quick, so please allow us to finalize it.
In cooperation the series will run under same type rules, the tech will be done by each track and Bristol will over see it, the race directing, working with the track personnel. He will also oversee the logging of the tires as there will be a tire rule for the series to keep costs down and competition exciting. The formula is proven to work. Bristol will handle the points, points fund, media and promotion of the events. A banquet will be worked on, and a website will be up and running by March 1st to post info, points, results, rules and more !
The series will run the Hoosier tires S450 & S650's with a Schedule of 4 and 2 tire races. Serials will be logged and kept for the events.
The Purse will be the following for the 50 lap events
1. 800 2. 550 3. 450 4. 350 5. 300 6. 275 7. 250 8. 225 9. 200 10. 175 11. 175 12. 150 13. 150 14. 130 15. 115 16-24. 100 $50 Entry Fee members / $75 non-members

The 2014 FUPS Season will include two new tracks joining the series for the Super Late Model's. Three Palm's Speedway formally Punta Gorda and Orlando Speed World will join with Auburndale Speedway in hosting races this year. We have worked very hard to get new tracks to join in hosting FUPS races for 2014 stated series director Rick Williams, and the addition of 3 Palms and Orlando was a victory for our competitors as well as the series. We look forward to partnering with Jamie Haase (3 Palms) and Ozzie Moya (OSW) to give the series more venues and expand the brand to the southwest and east coast areas of the state, hopefully this addition will encourage other tracks to join FUPS in the future, added Williams.
Auburndale and 3 Palms will host six races each during the season and OSW will host two Friday night events for the SLM, the Legends and Bando's will travel with the SLM for 2014. The FUPS Sportsman & OWM will currently have a two track twelve race schedule between Auburndale and 3 Palms.

The monarch has been sacked. It what was a virtual coronation Sunday of Chase Elliott's growing kingdom of trophies in Victory Lane at Five Flags Speedway rose another power in the Tech Shed. A few short hours after Elliott had hoisted the Tom Dawson trophy for his second career Snowball Derby victory, he was stripped of the crown under technical inspection. Instead, Erik Jones went from settling for second to successfully defending his historic 2012 Snowball Derby win by capturing a second consecutive crown. Not surprisingly, Elliott had no comment to share about his feelings following the official ruling of "unapproved weight" to his No. 9 Super Late Model.
"It was all a fair process," Five Flags general manager Tim Bryant said. "There were no arguments from the Elliotts on that." Elliott and crew chief Ricky Turner have been simpatico for the duration of the 18-year-old's entire late model career. "It was an oversight on my part," Turner told Speed51.com, short-track's online bible. "I messed up" The disqualification meant Elliott's apparent weekend sweep of the 46th annual Snowball and Saturday night's Snowflake 100 for Pro Late Models went poof.
More importantly, it meant once-bridesmaid Jones was now back-to-back champion Erik Jones. Last year the Byron, Mich., native outdueled NASCAR superstar Kyle Busch for the most coveted prize in short-track racing to become the 300 lapper's youngest winner. This December, the 17-year-old drove the Kyle Busch Motorsports No. 51 into short-track lore by becoming part of an exclusive group that has won consecutive Snowballs. Rich Bickle did it twice (1990-91, 1998-98), amazingly, and Augie Grill won the country's most prestigious race in 2007-08.
Ironic that the back half of Grill's two also came when Brian Icklar's 2008 win was tossed out in tech. "It's pretty special to join that list," Jones said. "It puts my name on a list with some awesome racecar drivers. That's something pretty special to me." Before he walked through another milestone, Jones' second-place finish was an impressive showing in a champion's role. Not many drivers could say they've done that. "It's hard to lose to Chase," Jones said moments afterward the race's conclusion, as he had to watch Elliott pose for photos and get doused with water from his joyous team. "He's my biggest competition. I like beating him more than running second."
Elliott, a Mozart of late models, dominated the 300 laps, a night after dominating the Snowflake 100. He said in prerace introductions he expected to be the man to beat. He showed quickly that he wouldn't be intimidated by the field of hunters by mixing it up with lapped cars on Lap 26. At one point he had lap the entire 37-car field, safe for 11 drivers. "It means the world to me," the Dawsonville, Ga., native said. "I don't know what to say." Instead, an authority on jaw-dropping performances offer his invaluable two cents. "A weekend performance like this comes once in a lifetime." Those were the immortal words of Bill Elliott, Chase's father who just so happens to have the nickname "Million Dollar" for his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series exploits in one dominant 1985 season. Chase Elliott crossed the finish line, left index finger hanging outside the window net as the checkered flag waved wildly. His legion of fans screamed for his attention as he ascended from the car with an emphatic and elated "Yes!"
The race had eight cautions for 71 laps, but two yellows were competition cautions as the race twice stayed green for 75 laps. Rules state the yellow must wave with that much green-flag racing. Johann Long couldn't channel the magic of her 2010 title run, finishing a disappointing 17th and never was a factor. Augie Grill (37th) and Bubba Pollard (31st), both perennial favorites for any late model event their names are entered in, had nightmarish days. Grill's day was done before the opening green, doomed under pace laps. "I was just spinning the tires with one to go and it just broke," said the two-time Snowball winner (2007, 2008). "It's heartbreaking. In the last two Snowballs, I haven't made it to the first pit stop." Pollard, right in the thick of the top three for most of the race, couldn't make it out of the pits during a caution on Lap 221 due to a broken axle. "It just broke before I could get out of the pits," he said. "With all that racing, the parts take a lot of abuse. It's disappointing … we had a lot left for Chase." Who knows? Maybe he did.

This was Andy's - Survived a transportationally induced fender crunch. Extra points for stylin' metal bottles.
Gino, sknittymama, visiondrawn, and 5 other people added this photo to their favorites.
This was one of my two faves of the weekend, the other being Paige's Rivendell custom.
Very nice. Can those metal bottles carry hot beverages--like coffee/cocoa? Looking for something to carry warmer beverages during night riding on a brevet...
@ agfachrome25: I don't *think* they do hot liquids (at least not insulating), but I'm not 100%.
Hi, I'm an admin for a group called CLASSIC LIGHTWEIGHT BICYCLES, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.
Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Bikes leaning on white garage doors, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.
Metal bottles transfer heat much faster. You would burn your fingers before the hot liquid even got 1/2 way up the bottles. You'd be better off using a plastic bottle. I use my soft nalgene to have coffee at work and for hot drinks when I'm in the wilderness.
If I have it, I prefer my mini nalgene with hard plastic, or my squishy bike waterbottle. -
I've got a Thermos that fits in a water bottle cage. I bought it at Target or some such place, but Velo Orange sells them.

PH2 dodges the puddles on KTM's single cylinder mini-race rep
Open wide and say R
The Duke R comes with the traditional KTM orange frame but in addition the 690 gets anodized orange yokes, fully adjustable WP suspension, an Akrapovic exhaust, single seat cover, crash bars, altered airbox and upgraded brakes. Alongside the Ducati Panigale, the 690 Duke R is the only bike to use Brembos monobloc M50 caliper while the master cylinder is also higher specification than the stock 690 Dukes item. Somewhat disappointingly the R doesnt get the EJC bikes altered profile cam and therefore power is only up 2hp on the stocker at 70hp while torque remains the same 52lb ft. The true EJC bike made nearer 79hp, although it had a race exhaust as well. The cost of these modifications? £8,795 which is a boost of £2,000 on the £6,795 stocker. Is it worth the cash?
Damn you rain!
The stock 690 Duke is a cracking little bike for blatting around on and its single cylinder engine is remarkably peppy. The most powerful single cylinder on the market, KTMs use of ride by wire technology and an extremely refined fuel injection system mean that the usual roughness you get with a big single is missing while the thumping character remains. Its a charming engine that with 70hp isnt exactly lacking power as long as the road conditions suit it. Hit the motorway and it can all get a little dull as there is minimal wind protection and the riding position is upright and exposed, however attack some back roads and the Duke makes sense.
Keep the throttle open, hurl it around and the KTM just keeps on getting better. Its a brilliant back road blaster and with such a low weight (claimed 149.5kg dry) is remarkably nimble. What does the R add to this party? Basically a bit more refinement.
The upgraded suspension delivers a slightly plusher ride while the brakes are also stronger. As the road was damp I didnt get the chance to really hammer the single caliper, however the ABS seems responsive and I didnt fall off so Im guessing it worked well enough. Is it that much of a difference? Unless you rode them back to back I reckon you would be hard pushed to split them on the road, however if you are planning a few trackdays the R would certainly shine. Styling-wise I have to say Im not a huge fan of the anodized orange yokes, but each to their own.
£2,000 or an R model?
The stock 690 Duke is a brilliant bike and while I liked the R, in the cold light of day Id probably get the stocker and pay a few hundred quid for the altered cam to boost its performance. Ive got nothing against the R, which is a very cool bike, but unless you are planning on trackdays the stock Duke is every bit as good for 90 per cent of the time. If you add up the individual additional components (I also quite like the different seat) the R is good value for money, but Im not quite sure it justifies £2,000 over the base model and I reckon you could upgrade the standard bikes motor as well as sorting its suspension for less. That said, Id certainly invest in a set of KTM crash bars as you can easily get a bit too excited!
Engine: 690cc single
Power: 70hp@7,000rpm
Torque: 52lb ft@5,500rpm
Top speed: 130mph (est)
