Parity Headlines Inaugural Winter Heat Sprint Car ShowdownSOMERTON, Ariz. (Jan. 13, 2015) - The inaugural Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdown showcased parity throughout the five-race, nine-day event at Cocopah Speedway to open 2015.While Danny Lasoski won the event championship - and the $4,000 bonus thanks to Cometic Gasket, JE Pistons and K1 Technologies - the winner wasn't known until minutes after the final checkered flag last Saturday.Lasoski and Stevie Smith finished tied atop the standings, but Lasoski's feature victory gave him the tiebreaker. Smith, Joey Saldana, Paul McMahan and Roger Crockett each received a $1,500 bonus for finishing second through fifth, respectively, in the standings."We had a mechanical issue that didn't allow us to run the main event last Tuesday, but this team kept digging," Lasoski said. "It was a nice surprise to win the first-ever Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdown title because I know this event will grow every year."Lasoski was able to overcome his bad luck thanks in large part to the parity that was present throughout the event. There was a first-time winner in every main event and B Main during all five races and there wasn't a repeat Hard Charger Award recipient.Eight different drivers of the more than 35 from coast to coast led at least one feature lap, including Aaron Reutzel, whose 46 laps led was the event high. Reutzel also won the Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdown finale on Saturday to earn his first career 410ci victory.Reutzel and Lasoski were the only feature winners to have not won a B Main. McMahan, Steve Kinser and NASCAR sensation Kyle Larson each recorded a consolation victory.A total of 13 drivers won at least one heat race with Craig Dollansky recording an event-best three.NASCAR star Kasey Kahne and Sam Hafertepe Jr. each claimed three qualifiers to lead the 13 drivers who scored at least one.It was also announced during the finale that the Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdown will return in 2016 with races on Jan. 1-2, Jan. 5 and Jan. 8-9.Here is a look at some of the numbers following the inaugural Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdown:Feature Winners : Steve Kinser, Kyle Larson, Danny Lasoski, Paul McMahan and Aaron ReutzelFeature Laps Led : Aaron Reutzel - 46, Dale Blaney - 29, Paul McMahan - 28, Steve Kinser - 18, Kyle Larson - 15, Danny Lasoski - 7, Stevie Smith - 6 and Craig Dollansky - 1Hard Charger Awards : Brian Brown, Danny Lasoski, Mason Moore, Logan Schuchart and Ryan SmithAverage Positions Gained by Hard Charger : 10Heat Race Winners : Craig Dollansky - 3, Christopher Bell - 2, Roger Crockett - 2, Paul McMahan - 2, Aaron Reutzel - 2, Joey Saldana - 2, Dale Blaney, Logan Forler, David Gravel, Kraig Kinser, Steve Kinser, Stevie Smith and Henry Van DamQualifier Winners : Sam Hafertepe Jr. - 3, Kasey Kahne - 3, David Gravel - 2, Steve Kinser - 2, Aaron Reutzel - 2, Dale Blaney, Brian Brown, Roger Crockett, Logan Forler, Mason Moore, Logan Schuchart, Ryan Smith and Henry Van DamB Main Winners : David Gravel, Steve Kinser, Kyle Larson, Paul McMahan and Aaron ReutzelPOINTS FINISH -1. 33-Danny Lasoski 880; 1. 51s-Stevie Smith 880; 3. 26-Joey Saldana 876; 4. 51-Paul McMahan 873; 5. 11c-Roger Crockett 836; 6. 31b-Christopher Bell 835; T7. 83-David Gravel 815; T7. 11k-Kraig Kinser 815; T9. 33v-Henry Van Dam 805; T9. 9-Kasey Kahne 805; 11. 21-Brian Brown 795; 12. 11-Steve Kinser 793; 13. 7-Craig Dollansky 792; 14. 57-Dale Blaney 768; 15. 1s-Logan Schuchart 767; 16. 82-Dusty Zomer 763; 17. 87-Aaron Reutzel 757; 18. 3c-Willie Croft 755; 19. 15h-Sam Hafertepe Jr. 726; 20. 22-Mason Moore 724; 21. 2l-Logan Forler 711; 22. 94-Ryan Smith 708; 23. 9r-Reece Goetz 694; 24. 1a-Jacob Allen 648; 25. 99n-D.J.

Reutzel Closes Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdown With First Career 410 WinSOMERTON, Ariz. (Jan. 10, 2015) - Aaron Reutzel capped the inaugural Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdown by accomplishing a goal that had evaded him throughout the first week and a half of the new year.Reutzel led all but one lap on Saturday at Cocopah Speedway, where he recorded his first career 410ci sprint car feature victory during the final night of the five-race event."It's unreal," he said. "To come out of the box and lead the first two nights and then something happened. We were leading this deal and I was just waiting for something to happen."After earning a front row starting position for the first two Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdown races last weekend only to have mechanical issues derail him, Reutzel took advantage of a similar opportunity on Saturday when he lined up on the inside of NASCAR star Kasey Kahne to start the 30-lap, $12,000-to-win feature.Reutzel powered to the bottom groove entering turn one to take the lead during the third different race of the Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdown.Meanwhile, Craig Dollansky drove around Kahne exiting turn four on the second lap and he started to stalk Reutzel. Dollansky closed to the bumper of Reutzel entering turn one on Lap 9 before taking the lead with a power move on the outside of Reutzel in turn four.Reutzel returned the favor on the ensuing lap by regaining the lead before his nose wing broke, which affected the handling for the final two thirds of the race."Craig drove around me through the middle," he said. "I got the wing back a little farther and figured I was going to try to go back around him the same way. Luckily I got right back by him. Then the nose wing fell done so luckily I got by him that lap because we definitely wouldn't have passed him with that nose wing down."Traffic entered the picture around the midpoint of the race, but it didn't slow Reutzel as he hit his marks along the bottom groove of the track each lap. Dollansky stayed within striking distance, but it was David Gravel who maneuvered from fourth to second place on the final lap with a daring move."It was the last lap and I said screw it, I'm going to the top," Gravel said. "The rubber held me to the center and then I picked up the grip coming off and it worked. I couldn't believe I passed Dollansky, too. I got into the wall a little bit, but it was worth it."Dollansky settled for third place, which marked his first podium of the Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdown."It was a long week, but we just kept digging," he said. "Tonight I was trying to run conservative, but good enough to hopefully win the race. (Reutzel) did a great job winning tonight. We had a car that was in the game and that's all you can ask for."Sam Hafertepe Jr. finished fourth with Kahne rounding out the top five.Danny Lasoski, who won Friday's main event, earned the Hard Charger Award on Saturday by rallying from 16th to sixth. He also earned the overall Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdown championship and a $4,000 bonus thanks to Cometic Gasket, JE Pistons and K1 Technologies."That's a credit to my team," he said. "I'm just the guy who gets to drive."Christopher Bell placed seventh with Stevie Smith, who was tied with Lasoski in the championship standings but lost the tiebreaker because of Lasoski winning a feature, ending eighth. Kraig Kinser scored a ninth-place result with Henry Van Dam rallying for his fourth top 10 of the event.Reutzel, Dollansky, Dale Blaney and Logan Forler each won a heat race with Steve Kinser, Kahne, Hafertepe and Mason Moore claiming qualifiers. Logan Schuchart was victorious in the B Main.It was announced during Opening Ceremonies that the Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdown will return in 2016 to Cocopah Speedway. The 410ci sprint car races held on Jan. 1-2 and on Jan. 8-9 will each pay $12,000 to win and $1,000 to start with the midweek race on Jan. 5 giving $5,000 to the winner.JAN. 10 RESULTS -Heat Race 1 (8 laps): 1. 87-Aaron Reutzel (2); 2. 33-Danny Lasoski (1); 3. 1s-Logan Schuchart (4); 4. 11c-Roger Crockett (6); 5. 3c-Willie Croft (3); 6. 77x-Wayne Johnson (5); 7. 74x-Josh Hodges (8); 8. 5h-Dakota Hendrickson (7).Heat Race 2 (8 laps): 1. 7-Craig Dollansky (1); 2. 33v-Henry Van Dam (2); 3. 31b-Christopher Bell (3); 4. 82-Dusty Zomer (5); 5. 15h-Sam Hafertepe Jr. (4); 6. 9-Kasey Kahne (8); 7. 88n-D.J.

Lasoski Steals Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdown Thriller With Last-Lap Pass
SOMERTON, Ariz. (Jan. 9, 2015) - Danny Lasoski's smile couldn't have been scrubbed off his face Friday night at Cocopah Speedway, where he executed a last-lap pass to score the $12,000 top prize during Round 4 of the Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdown.Lasoski marked the fourth different driver to win a feature during the inaugural event, which wraps up on Saturday with a $12,000-to-win feature and a $4,000 bonus to the overall champion of the five-race event."We've got a really good team," he said. "It may be a bunch of buddies together, but we have a really good team."Dale Blaney, who started on the outside of the front row for the 30-lap main event, took the lead exiting turn four on the opening lap after racing side by side with polesitter Paul McMahan.Blaney built a sizeable advantage during the first half of the race despite entering traffic on Lap 8. Meanwhile, Lasoski, who started fifth, began to advance in the running order near the midpoint of the feature."When you see the leader and you're not gaining on him the first thing a driver does is start searching," he said. "I started searching and just basically went where they weren't and found something that made my car work."Lasoski passed Joey Saldana for third place exiting turn two on Lap 15 and he repeated the move in the same spot on McMahan during the ensuing lap. Heavy traffic with approximately 10 laps remaining played to Lasoski's favor.While Blaney struggled to put NASCAR star Kasey Kahne down a lap, Lasoski inched closer to the lead every lap. He was within striking distance on Lap 23, but Blaney was able to create some breathing room during the following few laps.Lasoski remained a couple of car lengths out of the lead when the white flag was waved. However, Blaney was slowed while trying to lap a car in turn one on the final lap."I went down into (turn) one and he kinda took the middle," Blaney said. "I thought he was going to leave a little bit of the bottom open for me to plug it, but he turned down left and I was going to have to get on the bank. I should have just stayed to his inside and probably blocked that line. I kinda lost the nose of it and had to run around him."Lasoski took advantage and the cars exited turn two three wide with Lasoski on the bottom, the lapped car in the middle and Blaney on the outside. Lasoski was first to the bottom groove entering turn three and he slid up to the cushion exiting turn four. Blaney drove off the bottom leaving the final turn, but Lasoski's momentum gave him a car-length advantage across the finish line."That was luck," he said. "(Blaney) just got hung up. Whenever I'd get within a car length of him I'd get tight. I had to move around, move around. He was setting a good pace and he just got held up, but sometimes it's better to be running second."McMahan finished third, which marked his third podium result of the event. He leads the championship standings by 24 points entering Saturday's final round."We were good early and just kinda got real free toward the end," he said. "I might have heated the tires up a little too much. It's another solid night for us. We had a good race car; just not good enough to win."Roger Crockett earned a fourth-place result with Saldana, who is second in the championship standings, rounding out the top five. Henry Van Dam scored a sixth-place finish, Brian Brown was seventh, Kraig Kinser ended eighth, Stevie Smith placed ninth and Christopher Bell capped the top 10.Mason Moore recorded a $1,000 bonus as the Hard Charger thanks to an anonymous donation by a fan from the Northwest.Bell, Crockett, McMahan and Saldana powered to heat race wins with Brown, Van Dam, Ryan Smith and David Gravel claiming qualifiers.

"Everyone associated with the Renegade Sprints is extremely excited with the 2015 schedule that we put together for our first full season."The series will debut at Atomic Speedway in Chillicothe, Ohio, on March 28 - the first of a series-high seven events at the high-banked track, including the $20,000-to-win Open Wheel Championships on May 2."The politics in Ohio has been very heated and we want to thank all the tracks for giving us a chance," Helms said. "We believe it will be successful for all parties and will grow each year."Other tracks in Ohio that have currently booked at least one Renegade Sprints event include: Attica Raceway Park in Attica, Wayne County Speedway in Orrville, Hilltop Speedway in Millersburg, Millstream Speedway in Findlay and Brushcreek Motorsports Park in Peebles.The Renegade Sprints will also make at least seven trips into Pennsylvania for events at Bedford Speedway in Bedford, Path Valley Speedway in Spring Run, Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Motor Speedway in Imperial, Selinsgrove Speedway in Selinsgrove, Big Diamond Speedway in Pottsville and Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville.Additionally, the series will compete in Indiana at Brownstown Speedway in Brownstown; in Michigan at Hartford Speedway in Hartford; and in Illinois at Jacksonville Speedway in Jacksonville for a non-points event with the National Sprint League, Midwest Open Wheel Association and IRA Outlaw Sprint Series."We are working closely with the NSL to make something big happen on top of that date at Jacksonville," Helms said.Of the handful of dates to be determined, most are during the Renegade Week of Speed from June 18-24, when events at Attica Raceway Park, Wayne County Speedway and Atomic Speedway are scheduled."We're waiting on a few tracks to come on board during that time," Helms said. "I hope we can add a couple more new tracks, but if that doesn't happen most of those dates will be picked up by tracks already on the schedule."In other news, Tri-City Raceway Park in Franklin, Pa., has committed to at least one date in 2015 and is working on a possible Western Pennsylvania Speedweek.Additional details about new dates will be posted once they are finalized.2015 Renegade Sprints Tentative ScheduleMarch 28 Atomic Speedway- Season OpenerApril 3 Attica Raceway Park- Spring NationalsApril 4 Attica Raceway Park -Spring NationalsApril 18 Wayne County SpeedwayApril 19 Bedford Speedway- Coffee Pot ClassicApril 25 TBDApril 26 Path Valley Speedway ParkMay 1 Atomic Speedway- Open Wheel ChampionshipsMay 2 Atomic Speedway- Open Wheel ChampionshipsMay 15 Jacksonville Speedway (no points)May 22 Hilltop SpeedwayMay 23 Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Motor SpeedwayMay 24 Selinsgrove Speedway- Ray Tilley ClassicMay 30 Wayne County SpeedwayMay 31 Millstream SpeedwayJune 6 Brownstown SpeedwayJune 7 Bedford Speedway - Roy Morral TributeJune 14 Big Diamond SpeedwayJune 18 TBDRenegade Week of SpeedJune 19 Attica Raceway ParkJune 20 TBDJune 21 TBDJune 22 Wayne County SpeedwayJune 23 TBDJune 24 Atomic SpeedwayJuly 3 Atomic Speedway- Freedom 40July 4 Wayne County SpeedwayJuly 5 Millstream SpeedwayJuly 10 TBDJuly 11 TBDJuly 19 Millstream SpeedwayJuly 24 Hartford SpeedwayJuly 25 Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Motor SpeedwayJuly 28 Grandview SpeedwayAug. 1 Atomic SpeedwayAug. 22 Brushcreek Motorsports ComplexAug. 23 Millstream SpeedwaySept. 4 Attica Raceway ParkSept. 5 Attica Raceway ParkSept. 6 Wayne County SpeedwaySept. 11 TBDSept. 12 TBDSept. 19 Selinsgrove Speedway Jim Nace Memorial/National OpenOct. 3 Atomic Speedway Championship WeekendOct. 4 Millstream Speedway Championship Weekend-end-
'The King' Earns New Crown at Round 3 of the Winter Heat Sprint Car ShowdownSOMERTON, Ariz. (Jan. 6, 2015) - The King reigns!Fresh off his final full-time season with the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series, Steve Kinser led the first two and the last 16 laps of the 30-lap feature on Tuesday night at Cocopah Speedway during CARQUEST Auto Parts and Bingham Truck & Auto Night 3 at the Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdown.The win was Kinser's first at the track since the 3/8-mile oval hosted its lone World of Outlaws event in February 1991."I'd still like to be a little younger, I can tell you that, but I'm not," he joked. "But I'm not going to complain about my career. It's nice to get a win here."Paul McMahan finished second, which propelled him into the lead of the event standings heading into the final weekend, with 12th-starting Brian Brown rounding out the podium to earn the $2,000 Hard Charger Award bonus thanks to Kim and Glen Hanson of Here 2 Wire Inc. in Lake Stevens, Wash."Hopefully the casino doesn't get it back," Brown said with a big grin. "I don't know who the Here 2 Wire people are, but I'm definitely going to shake their hands and thank them. That's what makes the event an event."Kinser, who is affectionately known as 'The King' of sprint car racing and who drives for NASCAR veteran Tony Stewart, shared the front row of the main event with NASCAR sensation Kyle Larson - the most recent Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdown feature last Saturday. The duo traded the lead each of the first three laps with Larson sliding Kinser in turns one and two before Kinser powered to the top spot prior to the flag stand on Laps 1 and 2.Larson's slide job on Lap 3 gave him the lead for approximately a dozen laps before his right rear tire went flat on Lap 15. Larson slowed to bring out a caution and was forced to the work area, where his team replaced the tire.That gave Kinser the lead back for good. He went to the top groove as traffic entered the picture with approximately eight laps remaining, which allowed McMahan to close the deficit. However, Craig Dollansky, who was running in third place, flipped out of the track in turn one on Lap 24 to cause the final caution of the race.Kinser took a commanding lead on the restart and sailed to the victory one race after violently flipping out of the track himself."From being in between the walls upside down to winning tonight I've got no complains whatsoever," he said.McMahan's second-place result marked his second podium finish in three Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdown races."We definitely wanted to win tonight, but Steve had a good race car," he said. "It's good to see Steve back in Victory Lane. We had a good race car. We got by him one time and the yellow came out and he got his spot back. You can't show 'The King' the way around and not have him give it to you the second time."Brown, who had nose wing damage from the opening lap, earned his first podium of the event following his wild crash last Saturday."The goal is not usually to run third, but the goal isn't to almost flip out of the ball park in the heat race either," he said. "From where we were the other night to where we are right now just speaks volumes about our team."Logan Schuchart placed fourth and Kraig Kinser was fifth, marking the first top-five result for either driver during the Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdown.Henry Van Dam scored a sixth-place finish with Larson rebounding from last on the Lap 15 restart to end seventh. Christopher Bell advanced from 15 th to eighth, Joey Saldana was ninth and Dusty Zomer maneuvered from 18th to 10th.Steve Kinser, Van Dam, Dollansky and Kraig Kinser claimed heat races with Schuchart, Logan Forler, Roger Crockett and David Gravel scoring wins in qualifiers.

Renegade Sprints Competing in Indiana in 2015 at Brownstown SpeedwayFINDLAY, Ohio (Jan. 6, 2015) - The Renegade Sprints will be invading Indiana this year.Brownstown Speedway, a semi-banked, quarter-mile oval located in Brownstown, will host a Renegade Sprints event on Saturday, June 6."We're mainly a stock car track, but I like to have a few (nonwing) sprint car races," Brownstown Speedway Promoter Jim Price said. "I got to talking with (Renegade Sprints President) Shane Helms and then did some research. It looked like it was really growing fast. I thought it'd be a good opportunity to get in on the ground floor."The Renegade Sprints event will mark the first time winged sprint cars have competed on the bullring since 1999, Price said."Getting a race in Indiana is a huge feat for the Renegade Sprints," Helms said. "Our goal is to add races each season in Indiana, which is rich in history for short track racing on dirt."Price added that the fan interaction from the Renegade Sprints drivers was a selling point toward booking a race."Any time you can get the fans involved it's great in any sport, especially racing," he said. "I'm really excited about it."-end-
Larson Wins Wild Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdown Slide Fest on Night 2SOMERTON, Ariz. (Jan. 3, 2015) - The final scene for Round 2 of the Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdown couldn't have been scripted any better.NASCAR's newest sensation - Kyle Larson - outlasted sprint car veterans Stevie Smith and Danny Lasoski in an epic duel on the dirt Saturday at Cocopah Speedway, which hosts the midpoint of the five-race event next Tuesday."It ranks right up there mainly because I haven't been in a sprint car in a long time," Larson said after securing the $12,000-to-win top prize. "To beat Danny Lasoski and Stevie Smith in a duel like that was pretty amazing. I think it's a great event. It's a great race track. The purse is really good. I think this event will grow each year."Larson chased polesitter Aaron Reutzel for the first half of the 30-lap feature before misfortune struck in Reutzel's second career 410ci sprint car event. After powering to the cushion in turn one on a Lap 16 restart, Reutzel's top wing appeared to buckle, forcing his car out of shape before coming to a stop next to the wall.That gave Larson the lead, but on the ensuing restart Lasoski executed a slide job in turns one and two to take the top spot. As Larson stayed within striking distance for the next few laps, Smith found grip at the bottom of the track, which started to propel him closer to the front with a dozen laps remaining.Larson repaid the favor to Lasoski with a slide job for the lead in turns one and two with approximately eight laps remaining. Smith capitalized on Lasoski being slowed down and he vaulted into second place exiting turn two before stealing the lead in turn four."I slid (Lasoski) for the lead and I thought if I could clear him I'd be ok and then Stevie was to my inside and slid me in the next corner," Larson said. "It was kinda game on from there. He was really good on the bottom and I was pretty good up top."Smith and Larson nearly touched in turn two the following lap before the final six circuits were tight in traffic.Larson moved around Smith on the backstretch with six laps remaining before Smith regained the lead in turn four.Three laps later Larson slid Smith in turns three and four, but the veteran remained within a car length before throwing a last-ditch slide job of his own in turns three and four coming to the checkered flag. Larson stayed in the throttle on the cushion to power around Smith exiting the final turn of the race."It was a lot of fun," Smith said. "We really wanted to win that race, but Kyle just, he didn't give up and he earned it. We were just going back and forth and kinda just going where the other car wasn't. When you get down to those last couple of laps and everybody is side by side you're just going where the opening is and just feeling your way around."Lasoski finished third to mark his second straight podium result. He ranks third in the unofficial Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdown points standings - only three markers behind Smith and fourth-place finisher Joey Saldana."I hope the fans enjoyed it," Lasoski said. "The track crew did a great job. We had options. If your car was good and your mechanics did their job and the drivers did their job you could put on a great show and I think the fans saw that."David Gravel rounded out the top five. Ryan Smith rallied from 19th to a sixth-place result to earn the Hard Charger Award. Christopher Bell ended seventh and Craig Dollansky was eighth. Paul McMahan, the B Main winner and Friday's inaugural Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdown victor, maneuvered from 17th to ninth place with Dale Blaney finishing 10th.NASCAR star Kasey Kahne missed recording his second straight top-10 result by one position.Smith, Gravel, Reutzel and Bell won heat races with Kahne, Steve Kinser, Sam Hafertepe Jr. and Reutzel picking up qualifier wins.JAN. 3 RESULTS -Heat Race 1 (8 laps): 1. 51s-Stevie Smith (2); 2. 7-Craig Dollansky (3); 3. 57-Dale Blaney (6); 4. 42-Kyle Larson (8); 5. 15h-Sam Hafertepe Jr. (5); 6. 2l-Logan Forler (7); 7. 99-Skylar Gee (4); 8. 21-Brian Brown (1).Heat Race 2 (8 laps): 1. 83-David Gravel (2); 2. 26-Joey Saldana (4); 3. 51r-Freddie Rahmer (1); 4. 51-Paul McMahan (5); 5. 9-Kasey Kahne (6); 6. 11-Steve Kinser (7); 7. 98-Matt Jensen (8); 8. 77x-Wayne Johnson (DNS).Heat Race 3 (8 laps): 1. 87-Aaron Reutzel (1); 2. 3c-Willie Croft (3); 3. 1s-Logan Schuchart (4); 4. 11c-Roger Crockett (8); 5. 5h-Dakota Hendrickson (2); 6. 1a-Jacob Allen (5); 7. 9r-Reece Goetz (7); 8. 88n-D.J.

McMahan Drives into History as Inaugural Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdown WinnerSOMERTON, Ariz. (Jan. 2, 2015) - The opening night of the inaugural Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdown lived up to its hype.Paul McMahan bested a stout field of top-notch sprint car drivers from across the country on Friday night at Cocopah Speedway to score the $12,000-to-win prize. He also leads the points standings following the first of five nights during a nine-day period at the 3/8-mile oval."The race track was great," McMahan said. "This was the first time I've ever been here. It kind of moves around all night long. It's a great place, great facility, great event. Any time you can win it builds momentum. To win the first night out of 2015 with a brand new, experimental race car is phenomenal. We're really looking forward to the rest of the week and the rest of the year."Night 2 of the Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdown is Saturday with hot laps scheduled for 6 p.m. local time and Opening Ceremonies at 7 p.m.McMahan was a front runner from the start of hot laps. He set the quickest time during warmups and then charged from sixth to win his heat race, which made him the high-points earner.That lined him up on the outside of the third row for a qualifier. McMahan charged to a runner-up result, giving him a clear advantage in overall points and the pole position for the 30-lap feature.However, Aaron Reutzel, who was making his 410ci sprint car debut, powered to the lead at the start of the main event.The first caution of the race came on the second lap when Dale Blaney spun in turn three, where Willie Croft and David Gravel also came to a stop. Since a full lap wasn't completed following Danny Lasoski's power move from fourth to second place prior to the caution, McMahan and Joey Saldana moved back in front of Lasoski."I actually got very fortunate because I tried the top early and Danny Lasoski actually got by me on the bottom and the yellow came out so I got my spot back," McMahan said. "After that I never wanted to move back off the bottom."Reutzel maintained the lead on the restart, but he brought out a caution of his own one lap later when it appeared that he made contact with the backstretch wall and cut down a tire.That gave McMahan the lead, which he never relinquished. Saldana made a bid for the lead in traffic one third of the way through the race, but a red flag because of Christopher Bell and Reece Goetz flipping in turn three gave McMahan a clean track for the restart.He caught traffic for the final time with 11 laps remaining, but wasn't slowed as he methodically lapped up to 10th place."The guy ran third in the Outlaw points and he's been with his crew chief for two years so they're gonna be good," Saldana said after finishing second. "If you're going to beat him you've got to be better and I just wasn't good enough to beat him. It was a very good, solid night for Rudeen Racing and I'll take it."Lasoski maintained a podium position for most of the feature en route to a third-place finish."What a phenomenal event," he said. "The race track, what more could you ask for? All we ask for is a top and a bottom and let the middle slick off, let the drivers and mechanics do their job and they did it tonight."Stevie Smith placed fourth and Roger Crockett rounded out the top five. Brian Brown advanced from 13th to sixth, Freddie Rahmer ended seventh, Seth Bergman eighth, Henry Van Dam ninth and NASCAR star Kasey Kahne capped the top 10.Fellow NASCAR sensation Kyle Larson, who won the B Main, had climbed into seventh place before engine issues forced him into the infield with 10 laps remaining.Saldana, Crockett, McMahan and Craig Dollansky each won a heat race with Kahne, Blaney, Reutzel and Sam Hafertepe Jr. claiming qualifiers.JAN. 2 RESULTS -Heat Race 1 (8 laps): 1. 26-Joey Saldana (1); 2. 51r-Freddie Rahmer (2); 3. 87-Aaron Reutzel (4); 4. 83-David Gravel (6); 5. 11k-Kraig Kinser (3); 6. 57-Dale Blaney (5); 7. 9r-Reece Goetz (8); 8. 82-Dusty Zomer (9); 9. 1s-Logan Schuchart (7).Heat Race 2 (8 laps): 1. 11c-Roger Crockett (3); 2. 23-Seth Bergman (6); 3. 2l-Logan Forler (4); 4. 77x-Wayne Johnson (9); 5. 99-Skylar Gee (5); 6. 42-Kyle Larson (2); 7. 1a-Jacob Allen (7); 8. 98-Matt Jensen (8); 9. 22-Mason Moore (1).Heat Race 3 (8 laps): 1. 51-Paul McMahan (6); 2. 5h-Dakota Hendrickson (1); 3. 33v-Henry Van Dam (7); 4. 11-Steve Kinser (2); 5. 21-Brian Brown (5); 6. 15h-Sam Hafertepe Jr. (3); 7. 74x-Josh Hodges (4); 8. 55-Bud Walberg (DNS).Heat Race 4 (8 laps): 1. 7-Craig Dollansky (1); 2. 51s-Stevie Smith (2); 3. 3c-Willie Croft (4); 4. 33-Danny Lasoski (6); 5. 9-Kasey Kahne (3); 6. 31b-Christopher Bell (7); 7. 94-Ryan Smith (5); 8. 88n-D.J.

The Renegade Sprints will compete at the third-mile oval in Attica on April 3-4, June 19 and Sept. 4-5."We've been taking our time seeing how things played out," Attica Raceway Park General Manager Rex LeJeune said. "Due to recent events in the last week or so and getting word from a lot of the drivers that they wouldn't be coming to Attica for a lot of races, it'll be in the best interest of our fans to go in a different direction."Easter Weekend will showcase the April 3-4 races known as the Spring Nationals."We're looking forward to a good relationship with the Renegade Sprints and bringing the best races we can to our race track," Attica Raceway Park Promoter John Bores said. "We're looking for a good 2015 as we kick off the season with two big days of our Spring Nationals."June 19 was the slated Ohio Speedweek date and the Sept. 4-5 events are on Labor Day Weekend."From what we were reading and hearing they had a good turnout and the fans enjoyed the shows," LeJeune said of the Renegade Sprints events in 2014. "They did some creative things with the fans and the teams. The nucleus of drivers have been around our area for a long time and we want them to be a part of our race track."Renegade Sprints President Shane Helms added that Attica Raceway Park is a boost for the series."They are huge in Ohio," he said. "It's sprint car country. Tracks were threatened to lose their Speedweek dates if they signed with the Renegade Sprints. I'm glad Attica came on board."With the addition of Attica Raceway Park to Millstream Speedway, Atomic Speedway, Hilltop Speedway and Wayne County Speedway, the Renegade Sprints are in shape to put together a Speedweek."If Sharon Speedway, Fremont Speedway, Limaland Motorsports Park, Waynesfield Raceway Park or Eldora Speedway want to reach out then we'd be glad to talk," Helms said. "It is time to get Ohio on the same page. We're extending an offer to those tracks. Ohio deserves a Speedweek where everybody can come."-end-

Wisconsin scores eight runs on 10 hits in sixth through eighth innings to avoid a sweep by Quad Cities GRAND CHUTE, Wis. (APRIL 23, 2013) – The Quad Cities River Bandits kept a strong chance of sweeping the defending Midwest League Champion Wisconsin Timber Rattlers on the road with a 1-1 tie entering the bottom of the sixth inning Tuesday afternoon, but Wisconsin broke through for five runs in the sixth and went on to a 9-1 victory at Time Warner Cable Field at Fox Cities Stadium. River Bandits designated hitter Chase Davidson tied the game, 1-1, with a towering solo home run to center field in the sixth inning against right-hander Ryan Gibbard (1-0). The Timber Rattlers answered with three straight hits and a run against left-hander Colton Cain (0-1), who started the sixth inning as part of a scheduled tandem with right-hander Mike Hauschild. Designated hitter Mitch Haniger and left fielder Victor Roache each singled for Wisconsin, and second baseman Chris McFarland followed with a go-ahead double down the right-field line. Trailing 2-1 with no one out, Cain walked first baseman Adam Giacalone to load the bases before striking out third baseman Alfredo Rodriguez and catcher Parker Berberet. But with a 2-2 count on right fielder Michael Reed, Cain's pitch was lined back up the middle for a two-run single to extend the Wisconsin lead to 4-1. Cain then left after allowing four hits in 2/3 of an inning, and right-hander Gera Sanchez came on to allow a two-run double by right fielder Jose Sermo that made it 6-1. All five runs were charged to Cain. Wisconsin (5-9) scored three more times with two outs in the eighth inning against Sanchez. With two outs and the bases empty, Reed and Sermo singled, and shortstop Orlando Arcia lined an RBI single to center field, before Haniger drove a two-run double to the center-field wall to make it 9-1, the largest lead an opponent has held over the River Bandits (11-6) this season. Sanchez was charged with three runs on six hits in 2 1/3 innings while striking out four batters. Gibbard held Quad Cities to four baserunners – three hits and one walk – in six innings, while walking one and striking out five. The River Bandits put two runners on in an inning for the first and only time in the eighth inning against right-hander Taylor Mangum, who struck out the side to escape the inning. Mangum worked three shutout innings out of the bullpen to earn his first save. River Bandits right-hander Mike Hauschild worked the first five innings, striking out four, walking one and allowing five hits and a single unearned run. Wisconsin scored when Berberet led off the third inning with a double and scored when Reed's infield chopper went under the glove of shortstop Carlos Correa. The Timber Rattlers amassed eight runs on 10 hits against the Quad Cities bullpen. Davidson's 2-for-4 day led Quad Cities' offense, while Sermo and Haniger each went 3-for-4 with two RBIs to pace the Timber Rattlers. Quad Cities has its first scheduled off day Wednesday before opening a six-game home stand Thursday night at 7 p.m. against the Lansing Lugnuts, who visit Modern Woodmen Park for the first time since losing the clinching game of the River Bandits' 2011 Midwest League Championship. A tandem of right-hander Jordan Jankowski (0-0) and left-hander Brian Holmes (1-1) are scheduled to face Lansing right-hander Roberto Osuna (1-1). Fans should check www.riverbandits.com for updates on accessing the ballpark. UP NEXT: The River Bandits return to Modern Woodmen Park for a six-game home stand beginning Thursday, April 25, with Manti Te'o Night and a Thirst-Day with $2 drink specials presented by Rock 104-9, the Quad Cities' CW, and the River Cities' Reader. Single-game tickets are on sale at the River Bandits box office at Modern Woodmen Park, by phone at 563-324-3000 and online at www.riverbandits.com. Season ticket and mini-plan packages start at just seven games and begin at less than $50. Call a River Bandits account representative today to choose your seats and get the details of our various mini-plan packages. ABOUT THE BANDITS: The River Bandits began the season with a great start, and they sit in second place in the Midwest League's Western Division. Meanwhile, the team's ownership is making one of the biggest improvements to Modern Woodmen Park since the ballpark was first built back in 1931! A new Ferris wheel, standing 112 feet over the playing field, is planned for the ballpark, along with a new dual zip line, a carousel, a Mediacom Frog Hopper, new bounce houses and many other fun attractions. The team also boasts a new major league affiliate, the Houston Astros, and fans will see last year's No. 1 overall draft pick, Carlos Correa. The Astros will also make the very first selection in the major league draft on June 6 and could have another top pick end up in the Quad Cities. With new rides, new attractions, new improvements, a new affiliate and future major league stars, this season will be one every fan will not want to miss! Trackback(0)
