Fireworks, drivers delight fans at the LoanMart Madera Speedway
By Ronald Montez The Madera Tribune
Those words not only described the Grade A fireworks show that was displayed for the fans at the LoanMart Madera Speedway - the same could be said for the drivers on the evening.
With the oval asphalt's infield sky illuminated by the dazzling fireworks show - combined with a five-main spectacular, the crowd celebrated Independence Day - short track racing-style - on Saturday night.
In the Jeff Doran Grass Roots Racer Classic, victories by Robert Slagle (Enduros), "Racing" Jason Aguirre (Late Models), John Bowersox (MST), Tim Curtis (Toyota Sedans), and Josh Whitfield (Hobby Stocks) were as equally impressive as the Fourth of July fireworks exhibition that left the spectators beaming in amazement.
"It was an awesome and great show," said Slagle, who witnessed the fireworks display from the pits before the Enduro race put on an entertaining performance of its own.
Although it was easier said than done, Slagle drove efficiently and outlasted the rest of the 14-car field in a bizarre and wacky 150-lap (split 75) Enduro race.
Not only did those drivers have to go around the "Fastest 1/3 Mile in the West" but they also had to circle past a tire each time - causing early congestion on the front straightaway near the finish line.
"It's survival for the first part of the race because when you're going around here (the tire), the pack was real close and it was a major traffic jam," said Slagle, who took the official lead on Lap 5 after he got around James Cooke and Antonio Mentzer. "I turned on my road rage, didn't use a turn signal and just shoved my way through the holes."
Competing in his second Enduro race, Slagle faced many challenges while trying to keep his lead in a race where a cautions didn't exist.
"As soon as you think you got a good line, somebody bumps you or there's another car that spun in front of you," said Slagle, who briefly lost his top spot to Robert Smith on Lap 18 before retaining it. "You can never do the same thing twice in that corner because there's always new scenarios unfolded in front of you."
With the first half of the race winding down, Slagle continued to stay ahead while getting a strong challenge from his son, Devin, who was in second place before exiting to the infield.
"He was really pressuring me with 10 laps to go before the intermission," said Robert, who led after the first 75 laps. "I was sad to see him go out but if he wasn't out, I might have had a tougher night. The car also was overheating really bad, so my pit crew cooled it off."
After returning from the brief break and reversing the direction from the first half of the race, Slagle had to work to regain his lead while other cars began to make permanent stops to the infield.
"The traffic really started dying down and then you could find some really clean holes around the poles," said Slagle, who never trailed after taking the lead back for second half of the main.
After 100 laps, Slagle's car was one of six still running along with David Etheridge's, Jake Kirby's, Randy Gens', Scott Cristy's and Cooke's.
"I didn't think she was going to hold up but it did," Slagle said his '78 Pontiac Firebird that features an American Flag decal on the roof. "The last 10 laps, I couldn't stop looking at that ticker board. The car was totaled as of Friday afternoon, so I worked on it all Friday night and my guys came over and helped me this morning. We got it back together in time."
Etheridge finished in second while Kirby placed third.
In the Toyota Sedans division, Jason Lawton gave the defending track champion and fast qualifier (17.533) Curtis a run for his money in the 48-lap (split 24) main that ended on a red-checkered flag.
Although Curtis led the 16-car division from the first lap on, Lawton kept him company up in the front along with Kyle Fortney and Donnie Large Jr.
Curtis and Fortney each won a six-lap heat earlier in the day.
After the first half of the race wrapped up, Curtis went into the pits with the lead while Lawton, Fortney, Large and Brennen Mankin held the top-five spots.
To start the remaining 24 laps, there was no letup from Lawton as he kept up with Curtis.
After a restart on Lap 34, the two were door-to-door with Curtis occupying the inside line and Lawton on the outside on the turns.
As Curtis began to briefly separate, Lawton was trying to hold off Large Jr. while Fortney was nearby.
With one lap to go and Curtis maintaning the slight advantage, Large's car got into Fortney's from the back and flipped it on its side.
Fortney, who also raced in the Hobby Stocks division, was announced to be okay as Speedway officials and crew members tended to the overturned car.
As the race came to a complete stop, Curtis was declared the official winner while Lawton took second and Mankin finished third.
Like Lawton did with Curtis, Darrell Herzog closely tailed Bowersox in the beginning of the 48-lap (split 24) MST race.
Bowersox took the lead early with Herzog - the top qualifier (6.934) and six-lap heat race winner - in second while John McCollum Sr. was in third.
While Bowersox was in the lead after 24 laps, McCollum eventually passed Herzog to get into second before the cars traveled to the pits.
Although there was early contact to begin the second portion of the race, Bowersox continued to stay ahead but couldn't afford to get too comfortable with McCollum, Herzog and Kevin Thompson giving chase.
McCollum patiently worked his way up to the top and overtook the lead position with Bowersox dropping a place.
McCollum appeared to be headed to victory lane before spinning out with less than two laps remaining.
That opened the door for Bowersox, who finished in front of Herzog (second) and Thompson (third), to take the checked flag.
While Bowersox, Slagle and Curtis earned hard-fought first-place hardware, Aguirre and Whitfield also had nights to marvel at.
Both drivers posted their respective division's top qualifying time, won a six-lap heat and were the winners of a main.
Whitfield (16.272 fast time) led for all 30 laps in the Hobby Stocks race while at one point building a 13-second lead between him and the third place driver.
"The car loves this track," Whitfield told the audience in a post-race interview.
With Whitfield leading throughout, Fortney held his spot in second and also built a distance between him and the rest of the pack.
Aguirre, who qualified with a time of 15.883, also led wire-to-wire in the 40-lap Late Models main.
Despite three restarts that grouped the cars close together, Aguirre still didn't surrender his position while runner-up Rick Thompson also stayed in second for the entire main.
Gabe Herzog took third while Adam Coonfield, who won a six-lap heat race as well, was fourth.

Herzog cleans track in late model win
By Mark Evan Smith
The Madera Tribune
Some booed him for dangerous driving at the LoanMart Madera Speedway Saturday night, while others cheered it as the work of an excellent driver who utilized all his skills for victory.
Whatever you call his moves behind the wheel, Bryan Herzog walked away with one indisputable fact in the air - his second straight victory in the hotly contested LoanMart Open Late Model Series.
Herzog's win was incredible. Buddy Shepherd, a 15-year-old driver who's won time and again in the late models, held the lead from both lap 6, and through well into the next 50 laps after a 100-lap race with 50-lap splits.
But up to lap 82, with 18 laps, Herzog began to push hard for the top spot.
Going into lap 83, 11 really put the heat on Shepherd, and looked to purposely bump the young driver around both turns 1 and 2, as well as turns 3 and 4.
He received multiple warnings from track officials for his continued hard drive.
Coming into lap 93, Herzog made yet another bump as both he and Shepherd went into turn 4, took control of the inside line, and then pushed hard into his spot on turn 1 of lap 94, where he appeared to shove Shepherd's car to the outside line and took strong control of the lead as the young driver wobbled to maintain position.
From there, the win was all Herzog, all the way.
"We haven't won in so long," Herzog said. "And to finally get two in a row, I had to keep myself in check from trying to get the win I wanted so bad."
Herzog said his spotter led him the entire way, and noted that though some may criticize his style, it was what earned him the win.
"I think I'm fair," Herzog said. "I'm a little aggressive. Did I get into (Shepherd's) car a little bit? Yeah. But was he holding me up? Yeah. I didn't turn him, I moved him, loosened him up a bit, got next to him and we drag raced it where I came out on top."
Shepherd was far less amused with Herzog's on-track antics, and noted his car -including an apparently wrecked driver door from Herzog's aggression - was left with considerable damage from the continued bumps.
"Trashy and inconsiderate," Shepherd said when asked to define Herzog's driving style. "That's not how racing is supposed to work. You're supposed to like each other, and nobody likes him in the pits, that's why he has no friends on the track."
"Flying" Ryan Hart , who took third place, was perhaps the clear winner of the night, as he maintained his points lead in the series and came out with another strong finish while battling the event's second top qualifier Garland Tyler.
"We're definitely being consistent," Hart said. "The car wasn't the best it's been all year, but we had a good run against Tyler, and (Jason) Aguirre. We have the lead, and we extended it a little bit, we'll keep our nose clean and stay out of the trouble. We should have something going really well by the end of the year."
Other winners on the night included: Josh Whitfield in a strong Open Hobby Stocks performance; John Bowersox with yet another MST's victory; Robby Czub in the Legends of the Pacific; Lance Tatro in the speedy 360 Super Modifieds; Andrew Payne in the WSRA Mini Cups; and Tim Curtis in the always-contested Toyota Sedans.
Curtis, tied with Donnie Large Jr. for the points lead in the sedans coming in to Saturday's race, made his car look like a blaze on the track.
As he took the top spot in lap 18, Curtis and his car absolutely shred every turn, and posted lap times well above other competitors - as much as two tents across each line.
Finally, Curtis finished with his fourth win in the series this year, while Jason Lawton took second place and Large Jr. wrested the third place spot.
"I feel great, absolutely great," Curtis said. "This track has really hooked the cars up, so my car is turning like no other. Everybody got faster tonight, but I got really fast � I hope to be back as great as this in the next one."
Lawton joked about trying to stop Curtis, the sedans champion last year.
"Pop his tires," Lawton laughed. "That's about the only thing you can do, the guy is just amazingly fast and he's a great driver. That's the biggest thing."
Large Jr., who had issues with his car's steering and added an old tire when faced with on-track collisions, said he was happy for his team and the third place finish.
"My team never stops fighting and I never stop fighting," Large Jr. said. "That's why you see this car on the podium every race. I don't know what happened with my teammates, I just had to stay focused on what I had to do."
The LoanMart Madera Speedway will return for a fantastic July 4 schedule, with not only a huge fireworks display, but races including the Jeff Doran Grass Roots Racer Classic, Madera Late Models, Madera Hobby Stocks, and many other divisions.

Fans treated to good vibrations at the LoanMart Madera Speedway
By Ronald Montez The Madera Tribune
Although there were seven main event drivers who took home first-place trophies in the 5th annual Summer Horsepower Nationals presented by Protect the Harvest and Hoosier Tire, it could be argued that the big winners on the night were the devoted racing fans at the LoanMart Madera Speedway.
The jam-packed crowd not only got to see a number of intriguing and tactical racing at its finest on Saturday (June 6) night, they also got to feel the power from the different sprint cars as their giant rumblings on the "Fastest 1/3 Mile in the West" sent mini-shockwaves throughout the venue's grandstands.
In what was labeled as one of the biggest races of the 2015 season, all the divisions including the Lucas Oil Modifieds, The Pacific Region King of the Wing Sprint Series, Northern Modified Tour, BCRA Midgets, NCMA Sprints, and USAC HPD Midgets didn't disappoint in their respective mains.
Keeping firm control of the sprint car while also not deviating from a strategic game-plan was certainly a challenge all of the drivers faced on the night.
Accomplishing that feat wasn't as easy as the skilled drivers such as Kyle Vanderpool -who capped the extravagant evening with a win in the Winged Sprints race - made it look.
"It (driving sprint cars) is just insane," said Vanderpool, who also won the Wing Sprints heat race earlier in the day. "It's like a jet. I mean you're driving in so hard, then you're letting off and then you're back in it again. The g-forces are pretty good and it's a lot of fun."
Joining Vanderpool on the list of drivers who were able to maintain their leads while displaying masterful command of their fast-breaking cars included Scott Winters (Lucas Oil Modifieds), Blake Rogers (Lucas Oil Modifieds B-Main), Chad Nichols (BCRA Midgets), Tripp Gaylord (NorthState Modifieds), Audra Sasseli (NCMA Sprints), and Dylan Nobile (USAC HPD Midgets).
While the souped-up sprint cars rocked on the track, the fans were also treated to bonus laps by vintage race cars including Super Modifieds and BCRA Midgets.
In the Lucas Oil Modifieds main, it was a race that drivers in the filmed touring class couldn't afford to let off the pedal - even for a second.
Winters, who truly earned his 75-lap main win, knew a slip-up on any lap would be costly with Arizona's Dylan Cappello, El Cajon's Taylor Miinch, New Mexico's Jason Irwin, El Cajon's Austin Barnes, Yucaipa's Jim Mardis, Idaho's Shelby Stroebel and Colton's Lenny White all trying to fetch the lead.
Although he had the division's fast time of 15.032, Winters, of Tracy, was in the fourth spot early on in the 26-car race while Cappello held the lead overall.
After a caution on Lap 11, Winters got into third but still trailed Cappello and Irwin, who was in second.
From Laps 11-24, the first seven cars including Cappello's No. 11, Irwin's No. 9x, Winters' No. 24, White's No. 99, Mardis' No. 51, Barnes' No. 51A, and San Diego's Doug Carpenter's No. 3 all kept up together and held a four-second lead over the rest of the field.
However a spinout negated the advantage and grouped all the cars back together for a restart.
Winters wisely used the next two cautions to move up two slots as he got into second on the Lap 25 restart and after Lap 33, he became the full-fledged leader while Cappello dropped into second.
Despite four yellow flags slowing down the flow of the remaining half of the race, Winters continued to sustain his lead while Cappello was right there with him.
With 20 laps to go, Miinch got back into the mix and passed Irwin to get into third with Winters and Cappello settled into the top two spots.
For the final 10 laps, it would finish out with Winters, Cappello, Miinch, Irwin and Barnes all crossing the finish line in that order.
In the 35-lap B Main, Rogers was a winner while Jerry Toporek, Dustin Tilbury, Sal Lopes and Brain Collins rounded out the top five.
Although he was the clear-cut winner of the class, Vanderpool ran into a little resistance in the beginning of the 30-lap race with Mike Murgoitio, Eric Humphries and Cody Gerhardt sticking around.
"There was a little bit of a battle but I was patient," said Vanderpool, who eventually built a wide lead as the race progressed. "The car was on a rail so I just waited for them to make a mistake - just basically hunting and stalking them. It takes me a couple of laps to get in my groove and once I'm in it, I start hitting my marks."
Vanderpool began to pull away before Gerhardt - an eight-lap heat race winner and the division's fastest qualifier (13.142) - spun out with 15 laps to go.
Despite two restarts, Vanderpool's lead wasn't jeopardized as the Madera native earned another hometown track victory.
"It feels really good," Vanderpool said about his newest trip to the winner's circle. "I've done it in the Super Modifieds quite a few times but this is my first sprint car win, so I'm pretty excited and it turned out to be a good night for us. A big thanks to everybody that helped out including my crew, my sponsors and the Madera Speedway for putting on this show."
While Vanderpool celebrated the win, Murgoitio took second and Humphries placed third.
Making their season debut at the Madera Speedway, the NorthState Modifieds put on a race that saw the lead change hands four times.
By the end of the bewildering main, Tripp Gaylord was the last driver to hold the lead and the first to complete the 60 laps.
On two occasions, Gaylord went from being in second place to taking the top coveted spot.
To take his first lead of the 18-car race, he had to wait 20 laps as six-lap trophy dash winner Bryan Denton (car No. 15) was in the front.
Denton was doing everything in his power to hold off Gaylord, who posted the division's best qualifying time of 15.098 and eventually made the lead-grabbing pass on Lap 21.
For the next 22 laps, Gaylord was pacing the pack with Darrin Knight now in second and Rick Anderson in third.
On a Lap 44 restart, Knight snatched up the lead and stayed in front of Gaylord for seven laps before spinouts on Lap 50 and 52 prompted cautions.
Those regroups were exactly what Gaylord needed as he took back the No. 1 spot and held it on both restarts.
Tripp stayed the course on the way to victory lane while Knight was runner-up and Anderson held off a late charge by Nick Lyons to finish in the top three.
The comeback of the night went to BCRA Midgets driver Chad Nichols, who started the main in the seventh spot and used every one of the 30 laps to move towards the front in his No. 17 car.
It wasn't an easy task for Nichols, who was running against the likes of Cody Gerhardt - the top qualifier (14.590) - along with eight-lap heat race winners Tanner Swanson and Jimmy Screeton.
While Nichols began to work his way up to the top, Michael Snider (car No. 6) appeared to have the race all but wrapped up.
He led for 28 out of the 30 laps while Nichols was passing drivers little by little.
Snider started the race in first ahead of Mark Maliepaard, Nick Chivello, Swanson, Frankie Guerrini, Lauren Snider and Nichols.
After 20 laps, Nichols was suddenly tied in third with Chivello while also setting his sights on Maliepaard's spot.
Nichols pulled away from Chivello and swung into second ahead of Maliepaard.
With four laps remaining, Snider was desperately trying to hang on to the lead before Nichols gracefully cut in front of him after Turn 1 on Lap 29.
Nichols ended up taking the checkered flag to complete the comeback victory while Snider came in second and Swanson placed third.
Maliepaard and Chivello finished in the top five on the leaderboard.
In the non-stop 30-lap NCMA Sprints race, Audra Sasseli couldn't be caught in her No. 77 car as she led from the first lap on.
To set the tone, Sasseli came into the main holding the division's fast qualifying time of 14.617 and didn't waste time establishing herself in the front.
Throughout the main, she lapped two cars and stayed ahead of No. 2-5 placers Eric Humphries, J.R. Brown, Justin Kawahata, and Jerry Kobza - the eight-lap heat race winner.
After warming up their tires, the USAC HPD Midgets got the evening's mains started on the right road.
In the No. 40 car, Dylan Nobile followed his eight-lap heat race win with a 30-lap victory in the main.
Although he didn't lead in the first 10 laps, Nobile stayed within striking distance of Tom Patterson, who was the head of the pack.
With Patterson running on the outside, Nobile made the biggest move of the race from his inside position and smoothly passed on Turn 3 of Lap 11 to become the leader.
Nobile also found himself in front of the top qualifier (15.098) Toni Breidingar, who was in second, before the first caution of the race occurred.
Breidingar's night ended on Lap 20 while Nobile upheld the lead for the final 10 laps with Patterson in second and Annie Breidingar closing out in third.
The Madera Speedway will go dark next week but will return on Saturday (June 20) for Race No. 4 of the $1,000 to win LoanMart Open Late Models Series (split 50's), Race No. 4 of the $500 to win Super Hobby Stock Series (split 30's), 360 Super Modifieds, Toyota Sedans, Legends of the Pacific, MSTs, Mini Cup, and 4-Bangers.

Drivers battle for victories on Military Tribute Night at the LoanMart Madera Speedway
Ronald Montez The Madera Tribune
After two weeks off, the LoanMart Madera Speedway returned with a big bang as red, white and blue flags shared the track's center stage with the checkered ones on Military Tribute Night presented by 51FIFTY Energy Drink.
On a day when any military personnel was invited to attend the special event - on the house, all the drivers from each racing divisions did their best to impress the special guest servicemen in the grandstands as well as all of the Speedway faithful.
Everyone competing in the LoanMart Late Model Open Series, Twisted Tea Open Modified Series, Open Hobby Stocks Series, Legends of the Pacific, Toyota Sedans, MST'S and the WSRA Mini Cups did the commemorative show justice on Saturday night (May 30) with a sensational display of pure pass-at-your-own-risk racing.
Bryan Herzog, one of seven main event victors on the night, certainly came out extra motivated for his latest race in the LoanMart Late Model Open Series.
Herzog, proudly displaying the American Flag from his No. 11 car, participated in the opening ceremonies that honored America's armed forces as Madera veterans posted the colors prior to the main event.
"It really did get me ready mentally," said Herzog, who was in one of the 22 Late Model cars that filled the track while waving Old Glory in a pre-race observance. "It meant a lot to me to know that men and women go out there and put their lives on the line without a question in their mind, heart and soul, so that we can come here on a Saturday night and just drive around in circles in a race car."
Following a touching rendition of the National Anthem and a 21-gun salute, drivers went to work and settled their scores on the "Fastest 1/3 Mile in the West" as Nathan Smith (Twisted Tea Modifieds), Josh Whitfield (Open Hobby Stocks), Robby Czub (Legends of the Pacific), Brennen Mankin (Toyota Sedans), Kevin Thompson (MST'S), Andrew Payne (WSRS Mini Cup), and Herzog all came out as winners in their respective dramatic races.
"To be able to put on an opening ceremony for the military people by showing them our respect, thanks and gratitude and then put on a show like that for them is special," Herzog said of the taped MAVTV race which will be broadcasted in June at a later date.
In the most combative main of the night, it was Herzog who followed direct orders to survive the 100-lap (split 50's) race.
"Honestly, what I had to do to stay in the lead was listen to my spotter on the radio because I'll over drive the car in a heartbeat," said Herzog, who posted the top qualifying time of 16.145 and led from the first lap on. "He just talked to me every single lap and was in my ear telling me to relax, drive it easy and not over drive the car. With 10 laps to go, he told me I could do whatever I wanted and I was gone."
While Herzog was in the lead for the entire race, there was plenty of action behind him with drivers like Adam Coonfield, Jason Aguirre, Alexander Mead, Garland Tyler, Trevor Huddleston, Ryan Hart, Del McIntosh, Trevor Schlundt, Tony Schmitz, J.R. Courage and Lacie Price all trying to move up positions through the first portion of the main in nearly 100-degree weather.
As each lap passed, cars that were earlier contenders began to slip to the back or make unwanted trips to the infield - costing them precious time while trying to get back onto the asphalt.
"It was a pretty wild race," said Aguirre, who took second overall. "Everybody was fighting for that inside line and without that inside line, you were just going to get shuffled back and I did a couple of times. To get back to the bottom and wait for the next restart was what it was all about."
After the first 50 laps which had as many as five cautions, Tyler was in second followed by Aguirre, Hart, and Courage going into the much-needed break.
"We made very few adjustments but we just waited for the weather to come in," said Aguirre. "The cooler the air, the better the track got. It wasn't a matter of chasing the car, it was a matter of predicting the weather. After the first 50 laps, we went ahead and loosened up the car a little bit because I thought the track was going to get a little more grip. The big thing here today, not just for me but for everyone, was chasing the weather."
With the second half of the race resuming, Herzog continued to lead the charge with Tyler, Aguirre, Courage and Hart trailing in the top five.
Despite having to deal with a couple of restarts, Herzog continued to maintain his lead while the rest of the field slugged it out for valuable spots on the track.
"My eyes were glued on the car in front of me and mainly on the leader," said Hart, who finished in a respectable third place. "There were a couple of times when I was sitting in second and I was looking at Herzog's car. I was picking out little markers on the track and I could tell every lap we were catching him a bit. Then those restarts that hung us out on the outside kind of changed things a little bit."
Even at times when chaos ensued on the track from heavily sparking cars to a number of single and chain reaction spinouts, Hart continued to keep his car out of harm's way.
"It's definitely good to keep it in one piece," said Hart. "When we get those caution laps and I go by and look in the infield and see half a dozen of cars there and I say, 'oh thank God that's not mine' because I have dollar signs going through my mind of course."
While Herzog was still in first place, Aguirre and Hart didn't back off and continued to pressure the leader.
"It's always fun to battle for the win whether you come in first or second," said Aguirre. "It's all about coming to these races and going for the win."
After getting clearance from his spotter, Herzog began to pull away to get the wire-to-wire win which was followed by a victory donut.
"I've got several family members who are armed service members and my crew chief was too, so it means a lot to our whole team to win any race but this one was a little extra special," said Herzog while donning an Air Force cap in victory lane. "It's nice to know that somebody somewhere is staying up late at night and doing what they have to in order to protect us here so that we can do this crazy little circle drive."
Although he was looking for a win, Hart was thrilled about the dynamic race.
"Up until those last five laps, it was anybody's ballgame," he said. "Between Aguirre, Tyler, myself, Courage and Herzog, I think we all put on a good show for the fans. We came in with high expectations because we had an excellent finish the last time we raced but I'm still happy with a podium finish. It was a fun night."
Rounding out the official top five included Courage, in fourth, and Price.
In the other big event, Smith did his best imitation of Herzog and never trailed in the 60-lap Twisted Tea Open Modified Series.
In order to stay ahead of the 17-car field, Smith showed marvelous control of his car while several others couldn't quite keep a handle on theirs as four yellows were waved in the beginning part of the split 30-lap race.
Although he had a lead on the division's fast time qualifier Dylan Cappello (16.109), Smith had trouble getting away from him along with fellow competitors Aaron Coonfield, Robbie Knittel, and Blaine Perkins.
Despite not being able to loose the rest of the drivers, Smith held the lead heading into the pits while Coonfield, Cappello, Knittel and Perkins followed in that order.
Once the Twisted Tea Modifieds returned to action, Smith duplicated what he did in his first 25 laps while Wes Miller joined the group of racers that tried to challenge the lead position.
After a restart, Miller passed Perkins to get into second while there was plenty of exposed tire bumping going on in the front of the race.
With 12 laps remaining, Knittel made his way past Miller and eyed Smith's spot in first.
As three cars were spinning out on the final lap, Smith had just enough to hold off Knittel by 0.100 of a second to win the race.
Behind Knittel was Terry Deal (third), TY Carlson (fourth) and Rick Anderson (fifth).
Although he didn't lead for all 50 laps, Josh Whitfield came pretty close in the Open Hobby Stocks race.
Once he passed Richard Herzog, Whitfield didn't surrender his position and won the split 25-lap main.
While Whitfield was lapping cars, Herzog was in second with Nick Silva, Joseph Riechmuth, and Howard Holden all dueling for the top-three spot on the leaderboard.
Getting back in motion, Whitfield re-established himself as the leader to start the second half of the race while Holden made his to the No. 2 spot and held it for the final 25 laps.
After Whitfield crossed the finish line in first place and Holden, who posted the division's fast time of 16.907, followed behind in second, Riechmuth was third driver to come in.
Herzog, who placed fourth, and Kyle Fortney were also the top-five finishers for the class.
After setting the divisions No. 1 qualifying time of 16.985, Czub went out and earned a 35-lap victory in the Legends of the Pacific race.
It took Czub awhile to get warmed up as a number cars began ahead of him including early leader Cody Barba, who was eventually passed by Cameron Austin.
Austin, a six-lap heat race winner, stayed ahead of Barba and Clayton Travels while a spinout on Lap 14 forced a restart.
That was the key break that Czub needed as he took the lead for good and withstood three more cautions including one near the end of the race.
Czub used a big jumpstart and pulled ahead to secure the win while Cody Winchel worked his way up to second and Austin finished third.
Like Czub, Mankin needed some time to get nestled into the front of the 10-car race.
Through the first 13 laps, it was Matt Doran that held the lead ahead of Donnie Large Jr., Mankin, and defending track champion Tim Curtis, who was fresh off a six-lap heat race win after locking in the fast time of 18.190 during the qualifying session.
After the second yellow of the race, Mankin took full advantage of the restart and ended up passing Doran.
With Mankin in the lead, Curtis flew around on the outside, kept his car balanced and passed Large to get into second on Lap 21 while Doran dropped to fifth.
Mankin, who also won a six-lap heat race winner earlier in the day, produced a first-place trophy while Curtis collected a second-place one. Large finished third while Jillaun Holden overcame an early spinout to take fourth. Doran rounded out the top five.
A couple of cautions didn't deter Thompson from experiencing yet another one of his many Madera Speedway victories.
In the 11-car, 20-lap main, Thompson narrowly edged out John McCollum Jr. in a classic battle-to-the-final lap finish.
McCollum Jr., who won a six-lap heat race and had the top qualifying mark of 17.635, stayed in second for most of the main and gave Thompson a run for his money.
Despite spinouts and crashes on Laps 2, 9, and 14, Thompson kept his composure in the lead while McCollum, Tyler Herzog, Elliot Stjerne and Dave Lander pursued his spot.
When the cars of John Bowersox and six-lap heat race winner Darrell Herzog got into each other on Lap 14, Thompson continued to stay ahead on the restarts while McCollum made one last ditch effort to get the comeback win.
However on the last lap, Thompson wouldn't be denied and pushed through as he was 0.200 of a second faster than McCollum Jr. in the end.
Coming in third behind McCollum Jr., was Herzog while Stjerne was fourth and Lander finished fifth.
It was Andrew Payne who gained plenty of hardware in the WSRA Mini Cup division.
After qualifying first out 11 cars with a time of 19.047, Payne was a four-lap trophy dash winner before running in the main.
Runner-up Cameron Legue couldn't catch Payne in the 20-lap race.
Justin Scantlen also made a trip to the winner's circle with a third place finish.

Valencia, Spain
2009 Valencia 250cc Warm Up Result - Simoncelli Readies For Battle
Alex Debon went out for a test lap, but was in too much pain. So the final 250 race ever will start with a different polesitter. Debon qualified on pole, but because he won't be starting, Marco Simoncelli will be starting from pole, alongside Hector Barbera, Ratthapark Wilairot and Hiroshi Aoyama, who moves up onto the front row.

Sadly, our regular photographer Scott Jones couldn't make it to Valencia. Fortunately, we ran into Israeli TV commentator Tammy Gorali, who also happens to be a pretty mean snapper herself. She was kind enough to allow us to use some of the shots she took today during qualifying.

2009 Valencia 250cc FP2 Result - Di Meglio Disrupts Valencian Fiesta
Mike di Meglio topped the timesheets in the second session of free practice for the 250cc class, relegating the Valencian riders into a battle for 2nd. Alex Debon was the fastest of the local boys, edging out Hector Barbera by just fifteen hundredths of a second. Championship leader Hiroshi Aoyama finished the session in 4th, in good shape for this afternoon's qualifying. Marco Simoncelli, the only man capable of denying Aoyama the final 250 crown, had a more difficult time, ending the session in 8th.
2009 Valencia MotoGP FP2 Result - Stoner Leads Pedrosa
Casey Stoner continues his domination of proceedings at Valencia, the fastest rider once again in the morning session of MotoGP practice. The Australian topped the timesheets just about all session, with only Jorge Lorenzo to get close. Lorenzo looked to have a firm grip on 2nd, but was bumped down to 3rd by Dani Pedrosa, who put in a blistering lap in the dying minutes of practice. Pedrosa leapfrogged over both Fiat Yamahas, leaving Valentino Rossi down in 4th behind his team mate.
Ben Spies continued his steady improvement, finishing the session in 12th, 1.377 behind Stoner's fastest time. More importantly, the Texan improved his time from yesterday by nearly nine tenths of a second.
2009 Valencia 125cc FP2 Result - Gadea Deposes Simon
Sergio Gadea was the fastest 125 rider in this morning's session of free practice, beating out his team mate and 2009 World Champion Julian Simon, and by quite a margin. Nico Terol was the 3rd fastest man, while Pol Espargaro made it an all-Spanish top 4 just a fraction off Terol's time. British rider Bradley Smith had another middling start, ending the session in 9th, while Scott Redding ended up 12th. De Graaf's Danny Webb finished practice with the 18th quickest time.
Yamaha's Technical Presentation, Or How They Made The 2009 M1 So Fast
You would think that the secrets of how to make a MotoGP bike go faster would be kept under lock and key at all times. Not so if you're Yamaha: On Friday night, Yamaha's technical leaders Masao Furusawa and Masahiko Nakajima gave their annual presentation on what they did to the YZR-M1 to ensure that they won the championship again in 2009.
The first thing they did was identify the changes to the 2009 regulations that would be key to the development direction. They highlighted three rule changes they needed to deal with to maximize the performance of the bike:
- The tire restrictions, with just 20 slicks in two compounds and 8 wets available at each race;
- The reduction in practice, with the Friday morning session scrapped;
- The engine limits, with just 5 engines available for the final 7 races of the season.
They then pinpointed three goals that would allow Yamaha to adapt to these rule changes, and get the best out of the 2009 bike. An improvement in the chassis, to allow them to get the maximum performance out of the tires; increased reliability, while sacrificing as little performance as possible; and a refinement in the engine management system, to allow them to control what they called the vehicle dynamics.
2009 Valencia 250cc FP1 Result - Local Heroes Slug It Out
Hector Barbera won the battle of the Valencians on the first day of practice for the 250cc class. The local hero relegated Alex Debon to 2nd place, Barbera leading Debon by over three tenths of a second. Alvaro Bautista was another three tenths behind in 3rd, ahead of championship leader Hiroshi Aoyama. Aoyama usefully put his team mate Raffaele de Rosa between himself and the only man capable of challenging him for the title, Marco Simoncelli.
2009 Valencia MotoGP FP1 Result - Stoner Continues Where He Left Off
Casey Stoner continued his domination of the MotoGP class during the first session of free practice at Valencia, coming in fresh from victory at Sepang to top the timesheets during practice. The Ducati rider took his time, though, spending most of the session as 2nd fastest behind Jorge Lorenzo. With 5 minutes to go, the Australian finally found the extra pace he was looking for, putting nearly four tenths of a second between himself and Lorenzo.
Lorenzo only just hung on to 2nd, Dani Pedrosa getting within five hundredths of the Fiat Yamaha man's time to take 3rd, while Valentino Rossi's mediocre run at Valencia continues, setting the 4th fastest time nearly seven tenths behind Stoner.
Ben Spies got off to a cautious start, improving on his times slowly as the session progressed. At one point, he climbed all the way up to 11th, only to drop towards the end of the session, finishing the day in 15th. But the Texan wasn't too far off the pace, just two tenths of a second behind Marco Melandri in 12th, and just over half a second outside the top 10.
2009 Valencia 125cc FP1 Result - Simon Gets Weekend Off To Strong Start
Julian Simon took the first session of free practice for the 125cc class at Valencia, seizing on the opportunity to celebrate his title in front of his home fans. The Spaniard took over from the German wildcard Marcel Schrotter, who had led for much of the session, surprising almost everyone, given that he is riding a Honda as a wildcard. Schrotter eventually finished the session 3rd, with Nico Terol also lapping faster than Schrotter in the last minutes of practice, while Sergio Gadea was the 4th quickest of the 125 riders.
The British contingent got off to a slow start, Bradley Smith only managing the 13th fastest time. Scott Redding ended the session in 16th place, while the De Graaf team struggled to get their Aprilias to go, Danny Webb finishing well down the order in 24th.
Ezpeleta Mulls A Return To 1000cc
Ever since its inception, the 800cc MotoGP formula has been unpopular with both the fans and the riders. The high state of engine tune has made the formula extremely expensive, as well as requiring the extensive use of electronics just to make the bikes ridable. This, in turn, has taken much of the spectacle out of the riding, requiring an incredible precision of style to get the best out of them, and making passing very difficult indeed.
The biggest problem, though, is the expense. With the cost of leasing a satellite MotoGP bike upwards of 2 million euros a year, grids are shrinking with little prospect of that trend being reversed. Something clearly needs to be done, but with the manufacturers already heavily invested in the 800cc formula, getting any change in engine capacity through the Grand Prix Commission, MotoGP's rule-making body, is a very difficult task.
Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta is determined to try, however. In an online chat with visitors to the website of the Spanish TV broadcaster RTVE, Ezpeleta explained that he intended to push forward his previously discussed plans for a return to 1000cc at this weekend's meeting of the Grand Prix Commission at Valencia. When asked if he would like to see a return to 1000cc in 2011, he replied "Right now, it is not going to be possible to switch in 2011, because the agreement with the manufacturers means that we could only make that change before the end of the 2011 season if there was unanimous agreement among the manufacturers. But we are thinking about a return to a 1000cc capacity from the start of the 2012 season, and we will start discussing it this weekend."
2009 MotoGP Valencia Preview - End Of An Era
There is always a strange atmosphere at the final MotoGP round at Valencia. It is probably the biggest party of the season, but a sense of sadness permeates the party atmosphere, making it feel more like the wild and desperate abandon of the night before the world is due to end than the joyous celebration of racing it could be. The Valencia MotoGP round is as much parting as it is party.
That sense of loss will be even more real this year, for MotoGP fans are once again about to lose one of the great triumphs of motorcycle racing. After the 500s made way for the 990cc four-strokes, then the 990s were cast aside for the 800s, at Valencia, the 250cc bikes are due to make their final ever outing, before being consigned to the dustbin of history, pushed aside for the 600cc four-stroke Moto2 machines.
There are many perfectly rational and sound reasons for the switch from two strokes to four, not least the question of cost. With Aprilia having a virtual monopoly on the class, the Italian manufacturer could pick and choose its winners and set the price of the factory-spec RSA250 at whatever rate it wanted. And with the other manufacturers having pulled out several years ago - though Honda still has a lingering presence - that meant that competition in the class was effectively dead.
More Is Less
But despite all of their shortcomings, the 250s are going to be sorely missed. The magical combination of light weight and decent power made the bikes more than fast enough, yet still incredibly nimble. As Andrea Orlandi, crew chief to Mapfre Aspar's Alvaro Bautista put it so succinctly: "100 kilo. 100 horsepower. Perfect."

Scarborough's comments during the opening segment of today's Morning Joe were prompted by an article in today's New York Times that included this line [emphasis added]:
Since his victory in the Florida primary, the growing possibility that Mr. McCain may carry the Republican banner in November is causing anguish to the right. Some, including James C. Dobson and Rush Limbaugh, say it is far too late for forgiveness.
JOE SCARBOROUGH: There are a lot of conservatives that I've heard grousing that have said "I would rather a Democrat win then John McCain."

After months of ducking questions about what he would do with President Obama's deferred action policy, Mitt Romney finally said something that was responsive yesterday in an interview with the Denver Post. Said Romney, "The people who have received the special visa that the president has put in place, which is a two-year visa, should expect that the visa would continue to be valid. I'm not going to take something that they've purchased…Before those visas have expired we will have the full immigration reform plan that I've proposed."

Salinas, CA – More than 10-thousand people marched through the streets of Salinas Monday, rallying for immigration reform in the city's biggest organized march since the days of Cesar Chavez. The march emptied the fields, closed businesses and made East Salinas look like a neighborhood celebrating a major holiday. KAZU's Ben Adler reports.

Knight Ridder agreed to sell all of its newspapers - including the Herald and San Jose Mercury News - to the McClatchy Company last month. McClatchy announced Wednesday it would re-sell four of those papers. MediaNews will pay a billion dollars in cash - with backing from the Hearst Corporation. KAZU's Ben Adler reports.

The Chart Show: Big week for locals Trampled By Turtles, Doomtree
Strong showing for the locals this week. Can we still call Bon Iver local? Justin's song for the movie Wish I Was Here jumps up to #3 and Trampled By Turtles maintain control of the top for the fourth week in a row.
Strand of Oaks perform live in The Current studio
Just before playing a show at the 7th Street Entry, Strand of Oaks stopped by The Current studio to play some songs and to talk to Mark Wheat about songs that simply "needed to be written."
The Chart Show: Trampled By Turtles remain on top
It's the third week in a row at the top for locals Trampled By Turtles, but otherwise we had a broad culling of Minnesota talent from the list this week, with Atmosphere, John Mark Nelson and Haley Bonar all falling off the Chart.
On The Ball with Mark Wheat: A New Season
In his final On the Ball blog post, Mark Wheat gives a preview of the Premier League season that begins this weekend, along with tips on how to watch and even an invitation to join a fantasy league. He also describes the fun he's had writing this and explains why he's decided to draw a line under it.
The Chart Show: Spoon gets big boost week of 'They Want My Soul' release
Spoon get a big bump up the Chart as their new album They Want My Soul is released — we made it our Album of the Week. In her review, Mary Lucia suggested that, as a long time fan of the band, she regards "Rent I Pay" to be their best song ever.
PHOX perform live in The Current studio
Baraboo, Wis., six-piece PHOX have enjoyed a meteoric rise since the release of their 2013 EP 'Confetti'. In town to play a sold-out show at the 7th Street Entry, PHOX visited The Current's studio for the first time, where they played some songs and chatted with Mark Wheat.
On The Ball with Mark Wheat: A Gorgeous Day in the Neighborhood
The Twin Cities got a taste of the Premier League when defending champs Manchester City visited the TCF Bank Stadium to take on Greek champions Olympiacos, just ahead of Minnesota United taking on Ottawa FC. Plus a music selection from someone who may support Liverpool (maybe?).
The Chart Show: Trampled By Turtles reach #1 after big gig at Newport Folk Fest
Our new #1, Trampled By Turtles, are a "remmidemmi" band apparently! That's a German phrase for, "arms in the air, let's party!"
On The Ball with Mark Wheat: A Stunning World Cup and a Big Doubleheader in Minneapolis
Mark Wheat sums up his thoughts on the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil, then sets the stage for the Guinness International Champions Cup match this weekend between Manchester City and Olympiacos, followed by another match between Minnesota United and Ottawa Fury. Plus: A music pick that connects a local band with the Premier League champs.
The Chart Show: Broken Bells ring in at #1 ahead of big State Theatre gig
Broken Bells bounce back right to the top this week as many of you tried to win tickets to their Aug. 3 show at the State Theatre. This is their second stop here this year in support of After the Disco; their tour kicked off back in Feb. with a sold out show at First Avenue.
The Chart Show: tUnE-yArDs announces tour ahead of sold out First Avenue gig, snags #1 spot
tUnE-yArDs makes it back to the top this week as fans try to get tickets to her sold out First Avenue show July 17. If you were lucky enough to get tickets, don't be fashionably late as Minneapolis' own Dosh will open for Merrill and the gang. And if you snag tickets, she's just announced more gigs including a show at the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee Oct. 23.
On the Ball with Mark Wheat: The World is Watching
As the World Cup enters the quarter-finals, Mark Wheat reflects on the tournament it's been so far, and what may lie ahead as the world watches the progression to the final. Plus, a music pick!
The Chart Show: Black Keys get their own burger, hold on to #1
The Black Keys hold on to the top spot again this week, which might pale in comparison to another sign of their success: Umami restaurant chain in California has honored the band with its own burger! For every purchase, $1 will be donated to the Black Keys Alfred McMoore Memorial Endowment Fund.
Courtney Barnett performs live in The Current studio
Before making her Minnesota debut with a sold out show at the Varsity Theater, Aussie Courtney Barnett stopped by The Current studios to perform a few songs off A Sea of Split Peas. Between songs, Barnett and host Mark Wheat talked about her charming, quirky lyrics, what it was like touring with Billy Bragg and, of course, the World Cup.
The Chart Show: The Black Keys' 'Fever' rises
Jack White lost again to his nemesis the Black Keys for this week's top spot, but he seems to be winning friends with his live show. Rolling Stone described his Los Angeles performance, "like watching Led Zeppelin play the Grand Ole Opry: raw blues power, finesse and a generous helping of fiddle." That didn't stop Jack dissing the venerable rag on stage at the huge Bonnaroo Festival last weekend. "Does a tabloid like Rolling Stone make music happen?" he asked the crowd. "You and I make it exist!"
