Lamastus wrecks hard at the SoKY Fairground Front Wheel Drive Figure-8

Story by Jason Turner - Kevin Lamastus was very lucky tonight. He was leading the $800 feature figure 8 at the fair tonight, when he flipped coming out of turn two. The Second place car hit him right in the roof on his way to the ground and right on the driver side of the car. It happened right in front of me and it looked like the car hit Kevin and I was really worried that he may have been hurt bad. But he walked away, after several minutes to get him out.

Nascar owner Jack Roush in another plane crash.

Jack Roush was involved in a plane accident Tuesday night at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wis., according to a statement posted on the website of the Experimental Aircraft Association.




The EAA’s annual AirVenture event is this week in Oshkosh.

“There are injuries. Possible surgery,” Roush Fenway Racing president Geoff Smith said in a text message to The Associated Press. “But he walked out of the plane.”

According to the EAA, the National Transportation Safety Board and Winnebago County Sheriff’s Department confirmed the two occupants on board were team co-owner Jack Roush and Brenda Strickland, who each exited the aircraft following the accident. Both were transported to local hospitals, with Roush in serious but stable condition and Strickland with non-life threatening injuries.

The Raytheon Premier jet, registered to Roush Fenway Racing was split in half during the landing accident, which occurred at about 6:15 p.m.

Jason McDowell, an aviation photographer who was at the airport, tweeted a photo of Roush exiting the plane with a bloody face.

It wasn’t immediately clear whether Roush was flying the plane.

Roush nearly lost his life while piloting a small plane near Troy, Ala., on his 60th birthday on April 19, 2002. He hit a power line and landed upside down in eight feet of water. The longtime NASCAR team owner was not breathing when he was rescued and sustained a broken leg, a collapsed lung and head injuries.

Super awesome show coming Thursday night. The guests will be Marshall Love and Sammy Sanders and we'll be talking stock car racing then and now. Mr. Love is the coverboy on the book Stock Car Racing in Bowling Green, and was one of Beech Bend's earliest champions. Sammy is the man to beat in late models in this area, and is a blast to talk to. Should be one of our best shows ever.

Day captures first career Ken Ten victory at Nashville

By Rob Spires/ Ken Ten PR

Nashville, Tenn., (July 17)- Local favorite Mark Day proved that home-track knowledge is tough to beat as he took a convincing victory in the Ken Ten Nashville 125 at Fairgrounds Speedway. Day, a Clarksville, Tenn., native who had a tough night in his last Ken Ten outing at Beech Bend Raceway Park, came back with a vengeance at Nashville. He began the night by capturing the ARBodies fast time award in qualifying. However, in the post qualifying re-draw, Day pulled a six. That was his only low spot of the night.

“I wasn’t too worried when we drew the six, because I knew we had a good car,” Day said. “At the start we were too loose to get around them on the outside, but I knew if we just rode a bit that it would come to us,” he added.

As Day was biding his time, others were racing with much more intensity. The first caution of the night occurred on lap 14 when Martin Belcher, from Brooks Ken., made hard contact with the inside wall on the backstretch. Belcher was unhurt, but his night was over.

A major pileup occurred on the ensuing restart. The field became bunched up coming to the green flag, and the ensuing melee left the cars of Tony Conway, Tony Ussery, Jerrod Foley, and Terry Smith piled up along the inside wall.  Though all drivers walked away from their cars, the race had to be halted while the track crew cleaned off the racing surface.

The green flew again on lap 37, and five laps later, Day took his familiar spot at the front of the field.

“We were really good after the red flag. I was able to get on the outside and the car stuck. I knew we were going to be tough to beat once we got out front,” Day said.

Day remained at the front of the field until the lap 75 break, at which point the top six once again redrew their starting positions for the final sprint. This draw was much better than the first for Day, as he pulled a two, meaning he would line up on the outside of the front row.

“That worked out for us,” Day said “because I would have chosen to start on the outside anyway.”

During the break, teams were warned that the race would have to be cut short, as events at the track have an 11:30 p.m. curfew. This added even more urgency for the drivers, as they would only be given a five lap warning before the race would be considered complete.

Daniel Bolden, the winner of last year’s Nashville Ken Ten race, drew a one, putting him at the head of the field at the restart. That lead was short lived, however, as Day rocked around him to once again take the top spot. The field was slowed briefly for a spin by series point leader Tim Hollis. With the time constraints in mind, officials hurried to get the field properly lined up and back to racing. However, on the ensuing restart, cars once again bunched up, and an accident that took out Chad Willis, Davey Coble, and Blake Hillard brought out the red flag yet again, effectively bringing an end to the race. The checkered flag was displayed with 90 of the scheduled 125 laps completed.

Initally, scoring was reverted back to the previous lap; however, it was later determined that the cars involved in the final incident would be put to the rear of the lead lap in the final rundown.

“We’re happy to get the win,” Day said. “We were prepared to go the full 125 laps, but anything can happen late in the race, so we’ll take it.”

The next Ken Ten race on the schedule is at the Kentucky Motor Speedway near Owensboro. This will be Ken Ten’s first visit to the track this season.

News Update from Ken-Ten Pro Late Model Series

 Effective of the July 17 race at Nashville’s Fairgrounds Speedway, Rob Spires will be the race director for the remainder of the Ken Ten Pro Late Model Series 2010 season. Previously, the series had relied on officials at each individual track to make calls during the race; however, questionable calls at recent events have necessitated the change.

“In order for the series to grow, it is important that we offer consistent officiating at all races. We have had a couple situations this year where the calls weren’t consistent, and that won’t be tolerated,” said Craig Thompson, Director of Competition for the Ken Ten series. “Rob understands racing, and by bringing him in, we are ensuring that all races for the rest of the year will be fair to all drivers !

“I’m enthusiastic about what this opportunity could mean for Ken Ten,” said Spires. “I feel that one of the most important factors in attracting drivers to any series is to guarantee that every driver has an equal opportunity for success. Ken Ten can now make this guarantee. I’m looking forward to working with the various staffs at each track we visit to provide exciting races for the fans and fair races for the drivers,” Spires added.   

     
Thanks, Craig Thompson

Top story lines from this weekend stock car races.

First, it was late model driver #98 Mason Mingus.  Mason was involved in several spins which according to rules would put him in the rear.  However, Mason on more than one ocassion refused to go to the rear.  This prompted the Beech Bend Raceway officials to give him the black flag and send him to the pits.  I don't know what was going on with mason and his crew.  I'm sure there was a reason that Mason didn't restart in the rear.

Second, the Mason twins.  These two kids are the sons of Figure-8 driver Mike Mason.  I didn't see everything that happened on the track but did see one of the twins get into it with the #43 car during the front runner figure-8.  Then the Mason kid hits the #43 car head on.  This was crazy!

Next, the x15 of Van Washer in the street modified race tangles with #69 Rita Cline.  But when the race is over Van Washer uses his car to push #67 of Mark Thompson off the track.  I was told that one of the officials warned x15 Van Washer about rough driving in the pits.  Van Washer x15 was not back on Sunday.

On Sunday it was more of the same.  The sportsman race was CRAZY!  There was so much action, I am not sure what was really going on out there on the track.  It was #99 of Robert Cohron leading the race with a much improved car of Daymond Long #28 on his rear bumper.  Daymond was driving hard for his first win when he drove into turn three a little too hard and hit the #99 of Cohron and spun both cars.  Which set up the next story.  Daniel Young in the #6 stopped to keep from hitting these two cars and #84 of Joe Reynolds passes the #6.  But as the rules state after a yellow comes out you go back to the previous lap.  That would have put #84 Joe Reynolds in behind #6 and in second place.  Apparently, Joe didn't see it that way.  Then the officials tell Joe to get back in line and Joe does not.  At one point Joe drives his car by a Beech Bend official at a unsafe speed and appears to surve toward the official.  Then Joe goes to to the front stretch and stops in front of the flag stand.  The flagman warns him to get back in line or off the track.  At that point Reynolds just sat there.  The PA announcer tells him and his crew that the wrecker is about to be dispatch to the track to tow him off.  Like I said it was a crazy weekend of racing.

Oh, I almost forgot the Sammy Sanders, Davey Coble and Mason Mingus deal on Friday night.  During the second late model race on lap 39 Sammy spins #98 Mason Mingus.  To set this story up let me tell you this.  Davey Coble #14 was leading the race at lap 39 of 50 laps.  Mason Mingus #98 was in second and Sammy Sanders #12 was third.  Sammy tagged the #98 with only 11 laps to go.  The rules are very clear.  If this had happen at the start of the race and lap one had not been completed then all cars go back to there starting spot.  But after one lap has been completed then any and all cars involved in a spin goes to the rear.  Therefore on lap 39 the #12 of Sanders and #98 of Mingus should have restarted in the rear.  With 20 cars in the field would have made it easier for the #14 of Coble to win and probably would have won this race. Hold on, let me say for #12 Sanders, he did on his own go to the rear.  The #98 of Mingus did not.  We went for several minutes and then the call comes across the BBR radios that #12 of Sanders and #98 of Mingus go back to second and third spots.  This really got Jerry Coble upset (Jerry is the owner of the #14).  Let me say, I don't blame Sanders or Mingus for starting back in second and third or Sanders winning.  The call was blown by the officials in my opinion.  In closing of this story, I will say we all make mistakes and I feel BBR or Ken-Ten made a big one.  Maybe the next time the favor will go to the Coble's.  Anyway enough on this lets move on.

NOTE: I AM IN NO WAY FOR OR AGAINST ANY DRIVER, OFFICIAL, TRACK OR FAN.  I SIMPLY REPORT RACING NEWS AND RUMORS.  IF YOU WANT TO EXPLAIN YOUR POINT OF VIEW PLEASE MAKE A COMMENT UNDER THIS STORY. BUT REMEMBER, NOT FOUL LANGUAGE OR THREATS.  PLEASE KEEP IT CLEAN AND RESPECTFUL OR IT WILL NOT BE POSTED.

Sanders wins amid controversy at Beech Bend Raceway Park

Photo Courtesy of PBO Media Productions

By Rob Spires/ Ken Ten PR

Bowling Green, Ken. (July 2)-The fireworks came a couple nights early as the Ken Ten Pro Late Model series invaded Beech Bend Speedway in Bowling Green, Ken., on Friday for the Independence Day Twin 50s. Sammy Sanders has been a fixture in the winner’s circle at Beech Bend in recent years, and Friday’s races were no exception. The Mt. Juliet, Tenn., driver made easy work of the field en route to capturing both checkered flags on the night.

Sanders began his night by winning the AR Bodies fast time award in qualifying. Due to the redraw for starting positions, Sanders found himself on the inside of the second row as the cars came to the green flag to start the first feature. From there, it only took Sanders until the third lap to work his way around pole sitter Chris Harmon.

The first feature was only slowed by two brief cautions. The first was for a Danny Smith spin in turn 3 on lap 13, while the second occurred on lap 17 when Mason Mingus and Davey Coble made contact in turn 4. Both drivers were sent to the rear of the field for their part in the incident.

Sanders, unfazed by the cautions, or ensuing double file restarts, won the first feature by almost a full straightaway over second place Chris Harmon and third place Brian Cherry.

“I had to do some hard racing with Harmon on the restarts, but we were fortunate enough to stay ahead of him and keep the lead,” Sanders said.

If the first feature was somewhat docile, the second was anything but. All lead lap cars from the first 50 lapper were inverted for the second, putting Coble on the pole, and Sanders in the 11th position as the cars came to the green flag. Coble was able to stretch a bit of a lead at the start, but the action was intense behind him.

While Coble was fighting off contenders on restarts following minor spins, Sanders was carving his way through the field. By lap 25, he had worked his way up to the third position. A spin by Jay Parrish on lap 29 tightened the field up once again. As the cars entered turn 1 on the restart, Sanders made contact with second place driver Mason Mingus, sending Mingus for a spin. Under Ken Ten rules, if two cars make contact bringing out a caution, both cars are sent to the rear of the field. However, Beech Bend officials determined that since the incident had occurred on a restart and the cars had not made a full lap, both drivers would be allowed to keep their original positions.

After being put back into the third position, Sanders was able to make easy work of Coble and Mingus to take his familiar position at the top of the leader board. Mingus and Coble, along with Brian Cherry battled behind Sanders. On the 43rd lap, Cherry made contact with Mingus sending him spinning. Both drivers were sent to the rear of the field; however, Mingus refused to comply with the ruling. Track officials pulled Mingus’ scorecard and the Brentwood, Tenn., driver pulled his car off the track and into the garage area.

The rest of the race was easy sailing for Sanders and he made it a clean sweep of the night by setting the quick time in qualifying and taking both ends of the twin 50 lap features. Coble was able to cross the line in second, and Harmon finished third.

“That was an exciting race,” Sanders said of the second feature. “This is a bottom groove track for most of the guys, so we were able to make some passes on the outside. I hate that I got into [Mingus]. I thought I had a line, and he thought he was clear. I circled to the rear, but they sent me back to the front. That wasn’t my call,” Sanders said.

“[Sanders] spun [Mingus], he should have been sent to the rear,” said a frustrated Coble after the race. “I’m not mad at Sammy, but the track didn’t make the right call,” he added.

Controversy aside, it was an exciting way for fans to kick off their Fourth of July weekend. The next race, at Nashville’s Fairgrounds Speedway, is sure to be equally exciting. Sanders is a former champion at the historic 5/8 mile track, and Coble is coming off a strong run in an independent race at the track earlier this month.  Be sure to catch all the action on July 17.

TWIN 25'S AT PLYMOUTH; 50 LAPPER AT ANDERSON

Indianapolis, IN - July 1, 2010 - The International Outlaw Figure 8 Series (IOFS) is planning for one of the biggest weekends of the year for the series. The weekend will feature a double header weekend at Plymouth and Anderson Speedway's Saturday and Sunday night respectively.

The weekend begins Saturday night at Plymouth Speedway with a huge night planned with twin 25 lap features. The night will be capped with a huge fireworks display at the end of the night. This will be the second time in series history that twin 25 lap features have been attempted. The format was unveiled at Columbus on June 12 and drew positive reviews. To date no track on the IOFS schedule with the exception of Anderson Speedway has held more IOFS events than Plymouth Speedway.

The next night, July 4th, the series will return to the unofficial home track of the series Anderson Speedway. A huge night of all Figure 8 racing is planned as part of the annual ' Figure 8 Madness '. The program will feature School Bus, FWD's, Stocks, and Trailer races all on the Figure 8 capped off with one of the biggest fireworks displays in the area. Pit gates open at 4 p.m. with racing at 8 p.m.

This weekend's double header will conclude the busiest stretch for teams on the 2010 IOFS schedule. The series has competed the last three weekends in a row. 2009 National Champion, Doug Greig, emerged the new IOFS point leader after his third place effort at Salem on June 27.

Coming to Beech Bend Raceway Park this Friday night.

The Ken Ten Pro Late Model Series heads to Beech Bend Speedway, in Bowling Green, Ken., for unique twin-50 lap races Friday night. The action is sure to be intense around the flat quarter-mile track.

“Beech Bend is a track where you have to use quite a bit of finesse,” said Ken Ten competition director Craig Thompson. “A lot of guys have trouble there. Lots of guys are good there, too. It really puts the race in the driver’s hands.”

The twin-50 lap setup requires Ken Ten officials to implement slightly different qualifying procedures for the Beech Bend races. The cars will still qualify in traditional fashion, and the top six will still redraw for their starting positions. The unique feature is that all lead lap cars will be completely inverted following the first race, meaning that the winner of the first feature will have to work his way from the rear of the field for the second.

According to Thompson, this procedure is sure to generate excitement as the faster cars have to work their way through slower traffic in a very limited timeframe.

Also different for the Twin-50s is the points system. Instead of the usual 120 points for winning, drivers will get 60 for winning each race.

“We use the different points system at Beech Bend so that if a driver has a problem in the first race and can’t make the second, it won’t kill him in the points,” said Thompson.

Sammy Sanders, the 2009 Ken Ten champion, is scheduled to make his return to Ken Ten competition, as well as past Beech Bend winners Davey Coble and Chad Willis. Sanders made the trip to Salem, Ind., for the last Ken Ten series race; however, he suffered a suspension failure and crashed heavily in practice, forcing him to watch from the sidelines. Coble recently competed at Nashville’s Fairgrounds Speedway, finishing 6th in a 125 lap race.

Due to the unique Friday night timeframe, the pits will open at 3:00 CDT, while practice will begin at 3:30 CDT.

It is sure to be a hot night of action as Ken Ten celebrates Independence Day in style- with Twin 50s at Beech Bend!
