Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Historian Donald Davidson To Share His Vast
Racing Knowledge, Including Stories About Salem, With Those In Attendance
SALEM, IN, August 19 - If you love the history of automobile racing, especially as it relates to Salem Speedway Fueled by the Hoosier Lottery, you will want to mark your calendar for Sunday afternoon, Sept. 21st. The famed southern Indiana track is hosting an Open House in conjunction with the Salem/Washington County Bicentennial Celebration.
A panel of racing experts, including one of the foremost racing historians in the country - Donald Davidson of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, will be on hand to relive days gone by.
Joining Davidson will be Indianapolis 500 veteran Bob Harkey and stockcar great Charlie Glotzbach, a former winner in NASCAR's highest division. Both Harkey and Glotzbach have competed on the Salem high banks numerous times.
Three generations of Kimmel's – Bill Kimmel Sr., Frank Kimmel and Will Kimmel – will also take part in the panel discussion. They will present their own unique perspective on racing at Salem from a family that has competed on the famed oval for over 50 years.
Charlie Masters of Waddy, Ky., who won a USAC sprint race at Salem during the 1969 season, has also agreed to share his thoughts on what it was like to compete on the demanding high banks during a very dangerous era in racing.
Additional panel members and more event details will be announced later.
The Open House is scheduled from 1 to 4 p.m., with the panel discussion getting underway at 2 p.m. Free hot dogs and soft drinks will be provided while quantities last.
Race fans are urged to bring a lawn chair and join us for a great afternoon of reminiscing on Sunday afternoon, Sept. 21. The event is free to the public.
SALEM, IN, August 11 – Championships and final season standings will be on the line when racing returns to the Salem Speedway Fueled by the Hoosier Lottery infield short-track on Sunday afternoon, August 24th. The Short-Track Championship event marks the final points race of the year for both the O'Reilly Auto Parts Pure Stocks and the Portland Recycling Front Wheel Drive Stocks.
"Our short-track events have produced some great racing action this season," said Salem Speedway Fueled by the Hoosier Lottery general manager Richard Deaton. "With championships up for grabs we expect more of the same on Sunday.
Mike Kestler of Louisville and Dillon Kaelin, also from Louisville, find themselves in the catbird seat heading into the championship event.
Kestler sits atop the O'Reilly Auto Parts Pure Stock standings and Kaelin currently leads the Portland Recycling Front Wheel Drive standings.
Kestler, who finished seventh in the 2014 season opening race, has battled back to forge a slim eight point advantage (596-588) over defending O'Reilly Auto Parts Pure Stock champion Travis Rogers. Kestler, a two-time Salem Pure Stock champion (2012-2011), moved to the top of the current standings on the strength of three wins and two second place finishes in the last five races.
Rogers, who is still very much in contention for the 2014 championship, had a string of 21 consecutive top five race finishes snapped on July 26th when he finished sixth in the ACE Hardware of Salem 30. The Charlestown, Ind., driver has visited victory lane on two occasions this season.
This marks the third time in the last four years that the Pure Stock championship will be decided on the final weekend of the season.
Justin Davis (569) of Louisville, Jeremy Hopper (566) of Memphis, Ind., and Todd Whitfield (550) of Sellersburg, Ind., are locked in a tight battle for third place in the final standings.
Kaelin, who is competing at Salem for the first time in 2014, holds a comfortable 45 point lead (493-448) over Carl Higgins Jr. of Louisville, who holds down the second position in the standings.
Consistency has been the hallmark of Kaelin's rookie year at Salem, as he is yet to finish out of the top five in any Front Wheel Drive race on the quarter-mile oval. He has topped the point standings since winning the season-opening ICA Dumpsters 25 on April 6.
Merlin Stroud (430) of Marengo, Ind., holds down third place in the standings, with Jesse Allen (385) of New Albany fourth and James Allen (347) of Milltown, Ind., fifth.

SALEM, IN, August 4 – The 55th annual Scott County Visitors Commission Joe James/Pat O'Connor Memorial sprint classic, originally scheduled for Saturday night at Salem Speedway Fueled by the Hoosier Lottery, has been postponed until Saturday, October 4th reports track officials.
Concerns regarding new pavement, which was recently put down on the half-mile oval from the entrance of turn three to the exit of turn four, led to the decision to postpone the historic sprint race until later in the season.
"After consulting with officials from the Must See Racing Xtreme Sprint Series and the paving contractors we have decided to postpone the race and give the new asphalt additional time to cure," said Salem track owner Owen Thompson. "We want to insure a great show for our fans and a safe racetrack for the competitors, so we feel it is in the best interest of everyone involved to reschedule this event."
No other events scheduled for Salem in 2014 are affected by the postponement.
The major repaving project, the first at Salem since 1977, was scheduled to begin in early July, but delays pushed the starting date back to late last week. The paving is scheduled to be completed today (Monday), but the hot temperatures are adding to the time needed for the asphalt to cure.
(SALEM, Ind. – Aug. 7, 2014) – No matter how many times a driver has raced around historic Salem Speedway, it's going to be different the next time around.
The first repaving at the high-banked, half-mile since 1977 is finished as the full stretch of turns three and four have a new coat of asphalt.
"The paving is perfect," said Owen Thompson, owner of the track. "It drug out a little longer than we thought, but the surface is just as smooth as glass."
The ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards will race on the track on Sept. 13 in the Federated Car Care ARCA Fall Classic 200 presented by JayC Food Stores. It will be the 96th appearance for the ARCA Racing Series at the speedway, which began at Salem in 1955. Thompson said the racing will be different.
"It should produce better racing down low in the corners," he said. "We paved a lot more than we thought we would – we went all the way to the top. With this new surface, the drivers are going to have to drive a little different."
The project began shortly after the Fourth of July holiday when crews moved in to build an access road high above turns three and four. Thompson had a machine built with a stabilizer to hold the paving machine on the track while it paved on the high banks.
Original estimates called for about 530 tons of asphalt for the project.
"We blew past that," Thompson said. "We used about 800 tons."
The new pavement begins where the John Deere sign is on the backstretch and continues into turn three until the start of the front stretch after turn four.
Thompson said he expects to get vehicles on the track next week with an eye toward allowing ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards teams to test at the track starting later this month. Representatives of Hoosier Racing Tire, the official tire of the ARCA Racing Series, are monitoring the paving to see if any testing is necessary before the series returns to the track.
ARCA President Ron Drager said the paving shows that the Salem Speedway Fueled by the Hoosier Lottery is committed to the future.
"The ARCA-Salem Speedway relationship dates back to the formative years of the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards," Drager said. "It's great to see how successful the ARCA race weekends at Salem have been consistently over the years, and Owen Thompson's commitment to long term capital improvements like this make everyone—ARCA, the race teams, the fans, the sponsors—feel good about the future of ARCA racing at Salem Speedway. We all appreciate the investment Owen is making, and I'm sure everyone is looking forward to the race Sept. 13 with the new pavement in turns three and four."
The project has been a long time coming and part of an overall strategy to maintain and upgrade the historic speedway.
"It was quite a big deal," Thompson said. "When we were paving, we had anywhere from 10 to 40 people that would just come and sit in the stands to watch.
"There are a lot of people that really love this place. The repaving has created a lot of interest, renewed interest, in the track and the upcoming ARCA races. I believe it will create a new wave of interest for the next ARCA race here. It sure looks good to me."

Planned Track Improvements Scheduled To Begin Following July 4th Race
SALEM, IN, May 7 – The next time the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards visits Salem Speedway Fueled by the Hoosier Lottery, the track could have a different feel for the drivers and a different view for the fans.
Owen Thompson, owner of the track, said at the drivers meeting before the Federated Auto Parts Crunch 'N Nutter 200 that a repaving project in turns three and four at the historic Salem Speedway is in the works.
"We want to keep the character of the track," Thompson said. "It's a great place for racing and we are going to keep it that way."
Thompson said the initial plan would be to pave a lane in turns three and four starting right after the Fourth of July holiday. It's the first repaving at the track since 1977.
"When you guys come back in September, it will be different," Thompson said.
The ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards raced for the 95th time Sunday at Salem, a .555-mile high-banked oval. The first ARCA race at Salem was 1955.
Ron Drager, series president, said that maintaining the character of the track is important.
"We have a race track that has a great tradition," Drager said. "This is just the beginning of a long-term plan to improve the surface of the track. We all want to preserve the character of this place."
Kenny Schrader, who won an ARCA Race at Salem in 1999, said the repaving plan could make for even better racing.
"I love the pavement the way it is, but it is getting to the point where they have to do something," Schrader said. "The way they have it planned, it will probably make for even better racing than we have now."
Justin Boston, reigning SCOTT Rookie of the Year, has won three straight ARCA Racing Series poles at Salem.
"It's going to be really interesting," he said. "Anything that makes racing better and makes for a better racing product for the fans to watch, I'm all for that."
Racing returns to Salem Speedway Fueled by the Hoosier Lottery on Saturday night, May 17th, as the Lucas Oil Great American Stocks return to the high banks for the Casey's General Store 75 – the longest points race of the season for the popular division.
The O'Reilly Auto Parts Pure Stocks, Portland Recycling Front Wheel Drive Stocks and the Thunder Roadsters are also part of the racing program.
The May 17th event has also been designated "Armed Forces Night at the Races" with free admission for all active duty and retired military personnel. It is also dollar beer and dollar hot dog night.

Smith Captures Season Opening Lucas Oil Great American Stock Race
SALEM, IN - Grant Enfinger made ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards history Sunday afternoon, winning his third race to start the 2014 season, becoming just the second driver in series history to do so.
"The stars are just lining up for us," Enfinger said. "It's pretty unbelievable."
After leading the first 100 laps of the Federated Auto Parts 200 presented by Crunch'N Nutter at Salem, Enfinger moved back to the front late in the race and took the lead when Ken Schrader hit the wall in turn one on the last re-start. Schrader was leading when the re-start began with Enfinger in second.
"I wanted the chance to drag race him to the finish," Enfinger said. "I think he just blew a right front there. That's what happened. It was a lot of fun racing up front against him."
Spencer Gallagher finished second, Frank Kimmel third and Cunningham Motorsports drivers Austin Wayne Self (fourth) and Tom Hessert (fifth) rounded out the top five.
Josh Williams, making his season debut in the No. 6 Southwest Florida Cable Construction Ford, finished sixth, just in front of Mason Mitchell in the Thermal Technology Services Ford. Schrader ended up eighth with Cody Coughlin ninth in the Jegs.com Toyota. Kyle Weatherman finished 10th.
Gallagher was happy with his best finish of the season and tying his career-best in the No. 23 Allegiant Travel Chevrolet.
"I love this place," Gallagher said. "It is such an exciting track. I am happy with how we finished."
Kimmel's team worked late Saturday to make repairs to his car after he hit the wall in qualifying Saturday. The No. 44 Ansell-Menards Toyota had to start at the back of the field, but was eventually able to make his way to the front.
"I'm sure we passed more cars than anybody," Kimmel said.
Self, in winning the SCOTT Rookie of the Race, pleased a throng of about 50 family members who made the trek to Salem from the French Lick, Indiana area.
"I think I gained a tenth of a second every time they cheered," Self said of his Hoosier Scale Dodge.
Hessert, in the No. 77 Caregard-AxiomWarranty.com Dodge, earned a top five finish despite going a lap down twice.
"We did what we could," he said. "It's a little bit frustrating because we know we could have been better. We know what we have to do when we come back here in the fall."
Enfinger grabbed the lead out of the gate, sailing past polesitter Justin Boston. He built a huge early lead and led for the first 104 laps until Mitchell grabbed the top spot and he immediately pulled away from the rest of the field until a caution flew on lap 124 for debris.
After a series of cautions and restarts, Schrader finally grabbed the lead. He and Enfinger raced tight for several laps until Karl Weber spun on lap 191, putting out the caution. That came just after Weatherman and Schrader got together, damaging Schrader's right front corner. He stayed on the track rather than pit and hit the wall after his tire finally went down.
"I wanted to get one more," said Schrader, referencing his last win at Salem in 1999.
Enfinger, meanwhile, took the lead and held off Gallagher to win his third consecutive ARCA Racing Series race. He is just the second driver in series history to win the first three ARCA races of the season and first since Ramo Stott accomplished the feat in 1970.
"I can't think Howard and Paula Bixman enough for giving me such great cars and allowing me to do this," Enfinger said. "We have such great equipment. The cars are so good right now and Kelly Kovski made some great calls about the car.
"We were not very good out of the trailer," he continued. "We cut our first practice short and kind of had to just sit back and re-group and give us a chance to think about it. He had a list of changes and I had a list of changes. It just came together. I was shocked at how well we qualified."
Enfinger now heads to Talladega with a chance to win the first four races of the season - something that has not happened in the 62-year history of the series.
"That's going to be tough," Enfinger said. "You just never know what is going to happen at Talladega. But, we have a great plate program and I know we'll be fast."
Shawn Smith of Louisville took advantage of lapped traffic to get around race leader Todd Kempf on lap 20 and went on to win the Crunch 'N Nutter 50 for the Lucas Oil Great American Stocks, which served as a prelude to the Federated Auto Parts ARCA 200.
The win was Smith's third victory in the popular Salem division in the last five races going back to last season.
Kyle Hadley of Louisville, who posted quick time during qualifications on Saturday, finished second with Tony Conway of Louisville third, Brent Gardiner of Louisville fourth and Salem's Tim Rivers fifth.
Rivers was one of seven Papa John's Rookie of the Year candidates in the season opening race.
Donnie Woodard, Roger Williams, Justin Pirtle, Greg Hubbuch and Kyle Zike rounded out the second five in the 24 car starting field.
Early race leader and defending Lucas Oil Great American Stock champion Brian Bayer of Birdseye, Ind., was sidelined after just 11 laps with mechanical problems.
David Bayens of Memphis, Ind., battled mechanical woes all weekend and dropped out of Sunday's race after just three laps with a blown motor.
Racing returns to Salem Speedway Fueled by the Hoosier Lottery on Saturday, April 17th for the Casey's General Store Spring Speed Fest.
SALEM, IN, March 27 – Officials from the Automobile Racing Club of America and the Merrell Food Group have announced that Crunch 'N Nutter will serve as the presenting sponsor for the April 26-27 ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards event at Salem Speedway Fueled by the Hoosier Lottery.
"We are certainly pleased to have Menards and Crunch 'N Nutter involved with one of our premier events of the season at Salem," said track general manager Richard Deaton. "Menards, with a long history of racing involvement in the Hoosier state, Crunch 'N Nutter's Indiana roots and ARCA's longtime history at Salem, make for a perfect partnership."
Crunch 'N Nutter is a cross between a candy and a cookie, and is 100 percent Amish-crafted in Indiana. It's a simple mixture of real butter, nuts and sugar available in six flavors, including Pecan, Cashew, Mixed Nut and Peanut, plus chocolate covered Pecan and Cashew.
The sponsorship at Salem is a result of the continuing relationship between ARCA and Menards. Crunch 'N Nutter is now available at the 285 Menards locations in 14 states.
"The grocery category is one of the fastest growing departments for Menards, and the Crunch 'N Nutter brand of Amish candy was a product Menards wanted to add to their offering," said Mark Gundrum, ARCA's Vice President of Business Development and Corporate Partnerships.
"The additional distribution for Crunch 'N Nutter allows the company to develop a motorsports marketing budget," Gundrum added. "That will now include associate sponsorship on the Ken Schrader Racing ARCA team, and, now, the Salem event."
Frank Kimmel, driver of the No. 44 Ansell/Menards Toyota, is scheduled to make a pair of appearances in advance of the race to help promote the event. Kimmel will appear at Menards stores in Bloomington and Columbus.
Last season, veteran ARCA driver Tom Hessert and 15-year-old Kyle Benajmin won the two ARCA Racing Series events at Salem while Justin Boston sat on the pole for both events. Each of those drivers are expected back at Salem, along with Kimmel, who has visited victory lane nine times at Salem.
The Federated Auto Parts 200, presented by Crunch 'N Nutter will be the third of 20 race events on the 2014 ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards schedule, and the 95th appearance of ARCA on the historic, half-mile Salem oval since 1955.

(SALEM, Ind.) - It's been a big year for the number 15 in the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards.
Fifteen-year-old Kyle Benjamin won his second race of the season Saturday, winning the Kentuckiana Ford Dealers ARCA Fall Classic presented by Federated Car Care at the Salem Speedway Fueled by the Hoosier Lottery. Benjamin, fittingly, was driving the No. 15, which has now visited victory lane six times on the season for Venturini Motorsports.
Benjamin grabbed the lead from fellow teenager Kyle Weatherman on lap 192 of the 200 laps race and held on for the win in the No. 15 Renton Coil Springs-Cometic Chevrolet.
"I was hoping nothing broke and a caution wouldn't come out," the Easley, S.C. native said.
Weatherman, in the St. Charles Glass-United Nissan Dodge, finished second for the second consecutive race. He took the lead from Benjamin on the last caution when the No. 15 pitted for two tires. Weatherman stayed on the track.
"We got two tires and a few of the guys I was racing against stayed out," Benjamin said. "It was a great call by my crew chief, Kevin Reed. Tires are so big here. Kyle was hard to pass for about five laps, but once the tires came to me, I knew I could get by him."
Veteran Frank Kimmel finished third, battling back from a lap down, to gain yet another top five finish in the No. 44 Ansell-Menards Toyota. Ken Schrader, in the No. 52 Federated Auto Parts Chevrolet, was fourth, and Mason Mitchell, driver of the No. 82 Happy Cheeks Ford, fifth. Mitchell was the first car not on the lead lap.
Weatherman said Benjamin got into him a little bit in turn four when he lost the lead.
"I probably would have done the same thing," Weatherman said. "It was just racing. He and I had fast cars all night."
Driving for car owner Andy Hillenburg, Weatherman took the lead early in the race and built up a huge lead when the race stayed green from laps 33 to 116. He led 66 laps in all.
"I was just calm and passing people, not doing anything stupid out there," he said. "The car was good and things we're going smooth."
Schrader said he made a mistake with setting up the race car.
"I think I cost my team tonight," he said. "I made a mistake. It's been four years since I had been here and just made the wrong call. We were good late in the race, got it figured out."
The three early race leaders all faded for one reason or another. Austin Wayne Self led the first 26 laps, and finished 10th in the AM Technical Solutions Dodge. Menards Pole Award presented by Ansell winner Justin Boston was strong early in the race, but transmission problems ended his day early. He led 19 laps and finished 23rd for Venturini Motorsports. Defending series champion Chris Buescher, in the No. 99 Reliance Tool-Roulo Brothers Racing Ford, also led 19 laps, but brake problems relegated him to the garage after 125 laps. Will Kimmel was in the top five until the last 20 laps of the race when troubles pushed him back to 12th place.
Championship point leader Kimmel, by virtue of the win, won the Bill France 4 Crown championship, a four-race series within the ARCA Racing Series season that counts only points in a set of four diverse races. Salem Speedway was the short track leg of the series that includes a superspeedway race, road course and dirt track.
Josh Williams, in the No. 02 Allegiant Travel Chevrolet, finished sixth.
"We tried," Williams said. "Something was broke on the car. I tried to turn one way and it was going the other. It was crazy. If not for that, we might have been in the top three."
Trevor Edwards, a Shepherdsville, Ky. native and second-generation driver at Salem, finished eighth in his ARCA Racing Series debut.
Mason Mingus entered the day as the SCOTT Rookie Challenge co-leader with Boston. The team had to change a motor after practice and fell several laps down early in the race. Mingus, in the 811 Call Before You Dig Toyota, however, rebounded for an impressive top 10 finish in his No. 32, which had a new paint scheme for the race.
Benjamin, who won last month at Madison International Speedway to become the youngest race winner in series history, led a race-best 70 laps. He took his first lead after the second caution of the race, leading from lap 117 to lap 177.
"As it got dark, it got really fast," he said of his car.
His age will prevent him from making another start in the series this season as the ARCA Racing Series finishes with races at Kentucky Speedway and Kansas Speedway.
"It means a lot to finish it off with a win for Venturini, with my crew chief Kevin Reed and Billy Venturini mentoring me," he said. "After the first two races of the season, I knew we'd win some races. This is such a strong team."
Shawn Smith of Louisville led the final 17 laps to capture the Federated Car Care 50, which served as a prelude to the Kentuckiana Ford Dealers ARCA Fall Classic.
The victory was Smith's second of the season.
Brian Bayer of Birdseye, Ind., who finished second in the race, wrapped up the 2013 Lucas Oil Great American Stock season championship.
Todd Kempt, who led the first 33 circuits around the .555-mile oval, finished third, with Kyle Hadley fourth and Roger Williams fifth.

"REDNECK ENDURO 100 On The ROVAL"
Schedule Changes Announced By Track Management
SALEM, IN, August 21 - Salem Speedway Fueled by the Hoosier Lottery track management recently announced a couple of schedule changes for the remainder of the 2013 racing season.
A roval event for the Portland Recycling Front Wheel Drive Stocks has been added to the 2013 schedule and will take place on Sunday afternoon, November 3rd.
The "Redneck Enduro 100" follows a highly popular road racing type event which took place earlier this season. The Salem Roval Grand Prix, won by Derrick Bradshaw of Shephedsville, Ky., took place on a circuit utilizing both the infield short-track and a portion of the half-mile high banks.
Twenty-eight cars started the June 2nd race with 19 cars still running at the end of the one-hour event.
"I think we knew immediately after the June 2nd race ended that we would be scheduling another roval event for this season," said track general manager Richard Deaton. "The race was very well received by everyone involved, including the drivers, race teams and fans."
"I wouldn't be surprised to see the car count double for the November race," said Deaton, who noted that more details on the race will be forthcoming in the next few weeks.
It was also announced that the short-track races for the Pure Stocks and Front Wheel Drive Stocks, scheduled for Saturday, October 26th, have been removed from the 2013 schedule. The races were scheduled as part of the Halloween 200 festivities. Halloween 200 practice will still take place on October 26th.
August 12, 2013 – Salem, IN – Brian Olson held off a determined Brian Gerster to claim his second consecutive Scott County Visitors Commission Joe James/Pat O'Connor Memorial Saturday night at Salem Speedway Fueled by the Hoosier Lottery. The win was also Olson's second TRUFUEL Must See Racing Xtreme Sprint Series (MSRXSS) victory of the season.
Olson held off Gerster for the majority of the thirty lap event as the duo made aggressive, yet calculated moves in and out of lapped traffic the entire race. The two made contact a handful of times including the final turn coming down for the checkered. It was arguably the most exciting Scott County Visitors Commission Joe James/Pat O'Connor Memorial in recent memory.
In victory lane Olson explained how he handled a hard charging Gerster for much of the race. "I knew in clean air it was gonna be really tuff for him to get around me. Lapped cars were gonna be his only chance .As long as I could get by them as quick as I could, I knew I would be ok." explained Olson. The two made contact coming down for the checkered flag and Olson acknowledged he didn't realize it was the final lap."Gerster got into me a little bit in three and four.
Actually I thought we had one more lap after that. It's such an honor to win here and get back-to-back wins in this race" concluded Olson.
Aaron Pierce followed Gerster home for third and was trailed by Jo Jo Helberg and Tyler Underwood rounding out the top five.
Helberg was the night's fast qualifier with a time of 14.349 seconds and drove a hard fought battle to finish third.
Helberg spun on lap 4 and was forced to go to the tail. Helberg was unable to run down the lead duo despite his thrilling drive to the front.
Heat races were won by Jimmy McCune, Brain Gerster, and Troy DeCaire.
Bayens Holds Off Bayer For Lucas Oil Great American Stock Win
(SALEM, Ind.) - Tom Hessert won his second straight ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards race at Salem Speedway Fueled by the Hoosier Lottery Sunday, passing Spencer Gallagher on the last lap to take the checkered flag.
Will Kimmel placed third, Kyle Weatherman fourth and Travis Swaim fifth.
"It got wild out there," Hessert said after the Kentuckiana Ford Dealers 200 presented by Crosley Radio. "It was exciting. My car is a little banged up, but not as bad as some of the others."
Hessert passed Spencer Gallagher after Gallagher took the white flag.
"I was trying to come up with a plan, but I wasn't sure what I was going to do," Hessert said. "I was thinking maybe to get a good run on him in turn two and race hard down to turn three. Fortunately, it didn't come down to that."
Frank Kimmel was in the lead with 10 laps to go but Gallagher passed the hometown favorite on lap 193 when both cars were trying to fight through lapped traffic. Hessert and Kimmel then tangled a couple laps later, bringing out a caution with fewer than five laps to go. Gallagher led from laps 193 to 202.
After taking the white flag, however, Gallagher got loose going into turn two of the high-banked Salem Speedway track and Hessert dove under him to grab the lead. He then beat him and Will Kimmel to the finish line. It was the only lap he led in the race.
"I love this track," Gallagher said after his career-best finish. "It's a great place to race. What you saw there at the end was the difference between four tires and two. What I was afraid was going to happen, happened."
Gallagher said his team did a great job Sunday.
"This Allegiant Air team did a heck of a job today," he said. "I am going home with a nearly destroyed race car and we still finished second."
Weatherman was making his ARCA debut and won the Scott Rookie Challenge for the race with his top-five finish.
"Everyone told me that if I kept my four fenders clean, I would finish strong," the 15-year-old said. "The care might be a little beat up, but that's racing."
Few cars left the .555-mile track unscathed, although the first caution didn't fly until lap 33. Polesitter Justin Boston led the first 59 laps of the race until Daytona winner John Wes Townley made his move to the front. A flurry of pit stops and different tire strategies kept changing the look at the front of the field. Townley led until lap 98 when Frank Kimmel moved to the front and stayed there until lap 143 when Townley - this time after pit stops - regained the lead.
Kimmel took control of the race around the 150-lap mark when several of the eight caution flags fell in a row.
Hessert at one point was a lap down but fought his way back to the front.
"For a while, I don't think we had anything figured out," he said. "But, we came together at the end."
Hessert is the first repeat winner at Salem since Justin Allgaier won the fall race in 2007 and spring race in 2008.
"It's special being part of the few people who have come here and won back to back on this track," Hessert said.
Boston ended up ninth after he was involved in a couple of late-race finishes that left him with a banged up race car.
Frank Kimmel, Grant Enfinger, Milka Duno, Boston and Mason Mingus rounded out the top 10.
Mingus had a great run despite going a couple of laps down early. At times he had the fastest car on the track, even passing all of the leaders to gain some of his laps back. He finished three laps down.
Kyle Benjamin placed 11thafter having to accept a five-lap penalty for re-entering the track in the wrong location after a pit stop. At the end, he was four laps down. Georgia driver Anderson Bowen, 15, was transported to a local hospital for observation after a hard crash with Josh Williams on lap 107.
In the Lucas Oil Great American Stock Crosley Radio 50, defending series champion David Bayens of Memphis, Ind., passed Shawn Smith of Louisville for the lead on lap 29 and then held off Brian Bayer of Birdseye, Ind. to claim his 19th career victory in the popular Salem division.
Bayens entered the raced tied with John Collins as the all-time win leaders in the division.
Bayer, who established a new one-lap track record (19.760) for the Lucas Oil Great American Stocks during Saturday qualifications, finished second, with Todd Kempf of Huntingburg, Ind., third, Kyle Hadley of Louisville fourth and Mike Sharp of Cox's Creek, Ky. fifth.
Smith faded to eighth in the final standings.

If you have read the previous parts, then you know how this works. So if we jump straight into the lists without me commenting much, then hopefully we can get both the PF and the SF into this post.
Power Forwards - criteria = .93 or better Offensive ppp/ .88 Defensive ppp.
Arnett Moultrie 1.06/ .74 impressive rookie in limited action (542 minutes)
Jared Sullinger .96/ .74 should be know doubt about keeping him
David West .96/ .78 unrestricted free agent (doubtful Indiana let's him get away)
David Lee .96/ .80 regarded as a poor defender, yet here he is
Dirk Nowitzki 1.03/ .80
Brandon Bass .96/ .81 probably a surprise to some
Jeff Green .98/ .81
Shawn Marion .96/ .82 9.3M with an ETO but is 34 years old
Matt Bonner 1.15/ .83 3.9M non-guaranteed
Blake Griffin .99/ .83
Quincy Acy 1.06/ .84 only 342 minutes played
LeBron James 1.12/ .85
LaMarcus Aldridge .96/ .86
Thaddeus Young .99/ .86
Carmelo Anthony .99/ .87
Paul Millsap .96/ .87 unrestricted free agent
Serge Ibaka 1.06/ .88 with the hype about his shot blocking, you would think he would rank higher
Amir Johnson 1.01/ .88
Ivan Johnson .93/ .88 1.2M qualifying offer
Luis Scola .93/ .88
Jason Thompson .95/ .88
Top 100 - Moultrie 22 offensive rank/ 21 defensive rank, Nowitzki 33/ 69, Jeff Green 98/ 81
The one available that might be an upgrade is West. Danny had this one right, but West shunned us. Assuming the surgery solved his health issues, when Sullinger comes back we should be fine to stand pat at the four.
This is a good place to mention Chris Wilcox. In part 3, we looked at Centers and he did not make the cut because of his .88 defense. That is below average for a Center, but is just slightly above average for a Power Forward. I don't think the intention was ever for him to the backup to KG, rather an emergency fill in. Milicic leaving changed that. In his career, Wilcox has played about equal minutes at the four and the five, but he scores more and rebounds more at the four. This season, his 1.2 ppp on offense had him ranked as number one in the league. Considering this is a team struggling to score and his contract costs less that 900K, I think we can afford to give him another shot, but only as a backup at the four. With Rondo back, he should be able to get us a bunch of easy points at the basket, also something we lack.
And for the Small Forwards - criteria = .92 offense/ .87 defense
Richard Jefferson .95/ .69 only played 568 minutes - 11M player option
Trevor Ariza .93/ .76 7.7M player option
Jimmy Butler 1.03/ .77 second season, this kid is the real deal. Only player I would trade Bradley for.
James Jones .92/ .77 small sample alert! only 221 minutes
Kevin Durant 1.09/ .79
Paul Pierce .93/ .79 still producing at a high rate
Andre Kirilenko .99/ .81 10.2M player option
Jeff Green .98/ .81 fits both positions so he is listed twice
Steve Novak 1.18/ .82
Lance Thomas 1.01/ .82 884K non-guaranteed - played only 646 minutes - zero three point attempts
Kawhi Leonard 1.07/ .83
Tobias Harris .95/ .83 looking pretty good now that he is getting floor time
Vince Carter 1.02/ .84
Matt Barnes 1.02/ .84 unrestricted free agent - has been playing for veteran minimum
Kyle Korver 1.13/ .84 unrestricted free agent - three point threat
Metta World Peace .92/ .85 7.7M player option
Nicolas Batum .94/ .86
Martell Webster 1.06/ .87 unrestricted free agent (1.7M last year) plays SG also
Shane Battier 1.12/ .87
Gordon Hayward .97/ .87
Top 100 - Butler 33 offensive rank/ 38 defensive rank, Durant 16/ 59, Kirilenko 83/ 79, Novak 2/ 91, Thomas 55/ 91 and of course Jeff Green would fit in this group also.
Looking ahead, Small Forward is as important a position to concentrate on as getting a true Center. If Pierce stays it is likely only for his final contract year, so it would be good to bring in someone now to start getting them acclimated to the system. If Pierce goes, you need a backup for Green right away.
The gold standard here is Butler. 23 years old, can guard four positions and plays two, SF & SG. Plus he can shoot threes. Prying him away from Chicago would be nearly impossible because they know what they have got.
Korver will probably get about 6-8M on the FA market. Barnes is likely to re-sign in L.A. Webster might be the best bet here. I wish he played better defense, but he can play two positions and can score. He is decent from three point land and should fit chemistry wise with the Seattle connection (Bradley, Terry, Williams). Coming off a 1.7M payday, he should be a manageable contract for a team with little to spend.

Citigroup Will Replace Affected Debit Cards From Target's Security Breach
Reuters reported Thursday that Citigroup (NYSE:C) has confirmed that it will replace all customer debit cards involved in the data breach suffered by Target Corp. (NYSE:TGT) this past November and December. Citi spokesperson Elizabeth Fogarty confirmed to Reuters in an email late Wednesday, "This is being done as a precautionary measure," and helped elucidate that the bank would have replaced the debit cards sooner, but it didn't want to disrupt retailers' lucrative holiday shopping season. Citi has now joined other banks such as JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) that have also committed to redistributing new debit cards, but Citi is not planning on reissuing credit cards.
Citi's email to Reuters Wednesday came exactly one month after Target initially suffered its security breach in December that significantly hindered its last weeks of holiday sales. The Minneapolis, Minnesota-based retailer alerted customers on December 19 that hackers stole data from 40 million credit and debit cards in the period from November 28 to December 15, and the retailer's announcements unfortunately got worse as the weeks went on.
Now, it is clear that on top of those 40 million compromised credit and debit credits, hackers also stole the personal information of at least 70 million customers, including names, mailing addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses. A Target spokesperson maintains that the two sets of numbers are likely to contain some overlap, but experts still consider them two distinct thefts.

#18 Gerald Christian
Class: RS Junior
Ht/Wt: 6-3/242
Position: Tight End
Hometown: Palm Beach Gardens, Fla
Twitter: @hungry4gr8tness
Thoughts: I don't mind saying I'm a little envious of Mike's black #18 jersey this season. Yes, Titus represented it well the last few years, and we'll always have Art, but Christian....well he may be one of the best players we've had in quite some time. If you remember from last year, Gerald is a transfer from the losing Sugar Bowl team (he transferred before that loss, like some kind of Nostradamus). He sat out last season, learned the playbook, benched pressed cars, ripped phone books in half, and did pretty much anything else a 6' 3" 242lb man wants to do. He has the raw talent to be a very good tight end, he just needs a little polishing from Watson and Coach Moore to become a great tight end. I see a big season for Christian as he becomes a large target for Teddy and a troublesome matchup for opposing defenses.
While the black 18 will always be special to Mike, and this site, for those who followed the Countdown last year know it's also important to me as well. Last year Day 18 was August 15th the day my little girl was born. I know I'm a day early but I remember typing the Titus Teague profile in hospital last year. Dedication people! Also, I'll go ahead and take 100% of the credit for the Year of the Cardinal at this point. She's a big fan...but lets be honest, she's had it pretty easy the last 365 days.

Dider Drogba's incredible first half goal has given Chelsea the lead at halftime in today's FA Cup Semifinal, after a slow and sloppy first half was lit up by a moment of pure magic from the Ivorian striker.
The game didn't get off to the best of starts when during a moment's silence for the victims of the Hillsborough Disaster and Piermario Morosini was interrupted by small group of very vocal fans who couldn't pay their respects.
Once the football started it wasn't a whole lot better as we saw a slow and sloppy start from both sides.
Dider Drogba sailed a freekick over the crossbar from distance after 9 minutes, then moments later miscued horribly when attempting a half volley which if caught cleanly, could well have burst the net.
At the other end, Rafael Van Der Vaart sent a shot well wide from a similar distance to Drogba's earlier freekick, after some good work from Aaron Lennon on the counter attack played the Dutchman in.
Spurs began to fight back after being territoriality dominated by Chelsea, and Scott Parker's surging run seemed to inspire his side somewhat, as Lennon and Emmanuel Adebayor both began to create chances in and around Petr Cech's goal.
On 25 minutes Ledley King powered a header from a corner towards the Chelsea goal, however Solomon Kalou did exceptionally well to head out and away from on his own goal line, keeping the West Londoners in the tie.
Kalou was at the heart of the action just one minute later when he broke on the counter attack, took his time well and played an inch perfect ball to Juan Mata who was joining him in attack. Unfortunately for the Blues, the Spaniard just couldn't quite get control of the ball when it eventually arrived, meaning the most clear cut chance of the game to this point was squandered.
Spurs had their own wonderful chance when neat play between Van Der Vaart and Lennon lead to the England winger playing the ball back across goal, and Van Der Vaart directing a thumping header towards goal from inside the sex-yard box. On the line though was John Terry to thwart the effort and clear to safety.
Chelsea continued to ride their luck in the 39th minute when Van Der Vaart floated a cross in towards an unmarked Adebayor. The Togolese striker didn't manage to connect, but the ball bounced up and off the post, much to the relief of Cech who was a mere bystander during the play.
In the 43rd minute, The blues had the lead after an incredible strike from Didier Drogba. A long ball hoisted forward to the Ivorian was well controlled, before Drogba turned William Gallas well, then fired an unstoppable and venomous drive past Carlo Cudicini with his left foot from a tight angle. A world class goal.
Spurs will have it all to do in the second half, but have created some openings so shouldn't lose heart just yet.
