HENDRICK, PETRO, DeMOSS WIN AT BLOOMINGTON SPEEDWAY

YOUNG GUN HOLDS OFF HEAVY HITTERS IN SPRINT FEATURE

 

BLOOMINGTON, Ind.  – Bloomington Speedway delivered the spectacular show it has become known for as every class of racing lit up the red clay oval on Friday, August 27. The exciting night of racing was highlighted by the Tire and Wheel Center UMP Indiana Super Stock tribute to Boyd “Wheelbar” Koontz feature race that carried an $850 paycheck.                                                        The event featured the Grimes Pools and Spas Sprint Cars, the Tire and Wheel Center UMP Indiana Super Stocks, and the O’Neal Wood Product UMP Modifieds. Jonathan Hendrick won the Grimes Pools and Spas Sprint Car feature race,  Randy Petro won the Tire and Wheel Center UMP Indiana Super Stock feature race, and John DeMoss took home the checkered flag in the O’Neal Wood Product UMP Modified feature race. 

19 year-old Jonathan Hendrick, of Fortville Ind., pulled off the Grimes Pools and Spas Sprint Car feature win in fine style by holding off Bloomington Speedway’s usual heavy hitters. Hendrick fought off challenges from defending Bloomington Speedway Track Champion Brady Short, of Bedford Ind., the formidable Jerry Coons Jr., of Tucson Ariz., and the hard charging Jon Sciscoe, of Bloomington Ind. Sciscoe moved his way up to the fourth position after starting the event in the seventeenth position. The race itself came down to the wire as a late race caution created a one lap shootout to the finish between all four drivers with Hendrick getting the top spot on the podium.

Randy Petro, of Columbus Ind., started the Tire and Wheel Center UMP Indiana Super Stock tribute to Boyd Koontz from the seventh position and skillfully navigated his way to the front of the field. Just before the midpoint of the event, Petro became locked in an epic struggle for the lead with Steve Peeden, of Paragon Ind. Peeden battled furiously but ran into trouble and dropped out of the race with only eight laps remaining. Peeden’s early exit pitted Petro against reigning Bloomington Speedway Track Champion Brad Cummings, of Bedford Ind. The two men dueled to the finish with Petro breaking away for the win and the $850 prize. Every car that started the tribute race earned $140.

The Tire and Wheel Center UMP Indiana Super Stocks brought 33 cars to Bloomington Speedway to pay homage to Boyd “Wheelbar” Koontz. Koontz, of Bloomington Ind., was an avid supporter of racing who built and raced his own stock cars at several Indiana short tracks for years. Drivers who raced against Koontz in the 50s and 60s was not only a racer but also a crowd pleaser. Koontz passed away November 18, 2008. 

John DeMoss, of Bloomington Ind., quickly worked his way up from the fifth starting position in the O’Neal Wood Products UMP Modified feature race and ran away with the checkered flag. Bradley Sterrett, of Bloomington Ind., and Brandon Short, of Bedford Ind., clashed for second place going wheel to wheel and side by side for much of the race with Sterrett earning the position. The win marks DeMoss’ second in a row at Bloomington Speedway.

The next night of racing at Bloomington Speedway is the Fall Clash on Friday, September, 17. The event will feature the Midwest Sprint Car Series Sprint Cars racing for a huge purse of $5,000, as well as the Tire and Wheel Center UMP Indiana Super Stocks. The grandstands open at 5:30 p.m., hot laps at 6:30 p.m., with racing starting at 7:30 p.m. General admission tickets are $20 for adults, and kids 12 and under are always FREE general admission with a paying adult.

WORLD FIGURE 8® STOCK CHAMPION TO BAG $5,000 PRIZE

The Home of the World Figure 8® has some exciting news for all Stock class Figure 8 competitors from around the country. For the second straight year, the Kenny’s Auto Sales Award for top finishing Stock in the 34th Annual World Figure 8® Championship, running September 9-11 at the Indianapolis Speedrome®, will receive an amazing $5000! This will again be one of the highest amounts EVER paid to a Stock class Figure 8 driver in a single event in the United States! “This award last year brought out some very talented racers”, stated 2003 Speedrome Hall of Fame inductee and award sponsor Kenny Sizemore. “Matt Clark did a great job in soldiering home to the $5,000 prize. I believe that 2010 will be an even stronger field of Stock cars in the Greatest Figure 8 Race on the Planet®”.

Last year’s inaugural 5k battle went down to the final hour with a Speedrome Stockcar vs. a Sportsdrome Xtreme Figure 8 car match-up while many other types of qualified rides took the challenge. For 2010, we are adding to the eligible list the V-6 ARCA Figure 8 cars from the Flat Rock and Toledo Speedway’s. These Michigan racing legends have been an intrical part of the World Figure 8® Championship since its inception in 1977; names like Chuck Hall, Bob Belz, Bob Studt, Dave Miller, Gary Earley, Billy Simmons, John Briggs, Frank Loving Jr., Jack Dandy, Ken Ahlgren, Ray Gaddis, and many others were in the mix for the prestigious win these early days. For more information, to register, or to view the event’s agenda, you can log on to
www.speedrome.com or call the Speedrome hotline at (317) 353-8206.

The $5000 award in the Three Hour Endurance Race® main event will replace the amount scheduled to be paid for the overall finishing spot earned by that top finishing Stock driver. This is of course unless they win the World title in which that $20,000 check will land in their bank account. In the past, the award was a $1000 bonus to be added on to the feature prize money. This latest edition of the Kenny’s Auto Sales Award essentially guarantees that top finishing Stock driver $5000 in total prize money.

The World Figure 8® Championship is the only race on the planet that a driver can win without being on the track at the start or even seeing the checkered flag. Drivers are placed in the results by total laps completed. The 32-car starting grid is assembled with the 24 drivers who locked-in through qualifying races on Friday September 10th. The remaining 8 spots are tacked-on through unlimited time trials on Saturday afternoon. Every other car will be lined-up as alternates by their qualifying time. This line of alternates will be added individually to the race as cars drop out of the event. In the past, drivers have entered as an alternate and drove their way as high as third place at the finish. All cars that leave the surface can return making this the only race that can grow in size as the laps increase.

The Stock type cars will have three opportunities to earn a spot in the prestigious starting field including a Stock only 25-lap qualifying race Friday night in which the top four finishers will lock-in to the main event. Being in the starting 32 could give a driver a “leg up” on the other challengers for this award. These starters will also be part of the pageantry during pre-race ceremonies before the 180-minute test of man and machine begins. They will be recognized as part of the best collection Figure 8 gladiators around in front of the Speedrome standing room only crowd.

The 34th Annual World Figure 8® Championship at the Indianapolis Speedrome® is September 9th to 11th, 2010. In 1977 they said this race couldn’t be run, a three hour-long Figure 8 contest. No car will last and no driver will last is what everyone said. Now in its thirty-fourth year, the World Figure 8® Championship is a racing classic. Ticket information is available by calling the Speedrome hotline at (317) 353-8206 or by logging on to

INDIANAPOLIS SPEEDROME, SPEED, NEWAVE TV TO LAUNCH WORLD FIGURE 8® FALL TOUR

The World Figure 8® Tour is proud to announce that a new post season tradition is born. The Fall Figure 8 Challenge is a 3-race series showcasing the best in crossover competition from the cars and stars of the World Figure 8® Championship. 2 tracks, 1 night of National television coverage, and a special champion’s bonus is just the tip of the iceberg of the latest WF8T venture. This decree comes on the heels of the very successful 2010 WF8T campaign won by Jack Dossey Jr. The dates for these Fall Figure 8 classics are September 18 at the Indianapolis Speedrome, September 25 at the Sportsdrome Speedway, and October 9 back at the Speedrome.

The adventure gets underway September 18 just one week after the Greatest Figure 8 Race on the Planet®, the 34th Annual World Figure 8® Championship. The television cameras will be rolling for Twin 50-lap Figure 8 main events. Our friends at NeWave Productions will have the Speedrome wallpapered with equipment to capture the intense action. It will be shown on the familiar program Lucas Oil on the Edge on Speed channel. This is a great opportunity for drivers and teams to showcase their skills for a huge viewing audience. And for fans to let the television watches how much you love Figure 8 racing.

The series continues its institution of having a common and affordable tire program. While new tires are always available at the Speedrome and on race day at the events, teams can use their experienced rubber from the previous World Figure 8® Tour shows as well as the 34th Annual World Figure 8® Championship to be held September 9th to 11th. This situation helps new drivers and teams with an opportunity to compete and experience the thrill of the sport of Figure 8 racing. These three scheduled WF8T events have quite a bit of history behind each.

The Saturday night after the World Championship has been a regular date on the Speedrome calendar since 1989. Traditionally known as the Final Fling Figure 8, it has given racers an outlet to keep the momentum going or to get it back in the right direction after the Three Hour Endurance Race®. Jack Dossey Jr has been very solid in this event taking home the victory in 6 of the 18 ever held. The next highest victory total is two belonging to Bruce Tunny who won the initial pair held and Doug Greig who was twice victorious in recent years. Donnie Garrigus III was last year’s winner in a thrilling finish. This will be the first-time that the night has had championship points on the line.

The World Figure 8® Tour then heads south to the Sportsdrome Speedway. It is the initial WF8T event to be ever held at the historic Figure 8 facility. The track has played host to many star-studded gatherings of these Late Model type machines over the years and produced many of Figure 8’s greatest stars. At this event in 2009, it was a family sweep of the top two spots. Ben Tunny, fresh off his World title victory, led his brother Jesse across the finish line. The September 25 race will be a part of a spectacular double main event. The track’s signature Figure 8 division will compete in the 44th edition of the Midwestern Figure 8 Championship. Look for Sportsdrome greats like Leonard Basham, Chris Harmon, Mark Harmon, and many more to make their first WF8T appearances in the Fall Figure 8 Challenge.

October 9 is the final night in this World Figure 8® Tour Fall Challenge. Another century-length feature will stand in front of the talented driver roster. The race is the 9th Annual North/South 100. It has always been a gathering of racers from several states converging at the Indianapolis fifth-mile. Michigan Invaders Jeremy Miller and Jeremy Vanderhoof have had some strong results in this contest with Miller finishing a state best third in 2003. Last year saw Ben Tunny continue his blazing streak of victories with a dominating performance. It will be a fun and interesting series for drivers and fans alike. Stay tuned for more news in the upcoming weeks involving the World Figure 8® Tour.
 

REIGNING TRACK CHAMPIONS TOP SPEEDROME FIGURE 8 DOUBLEHEADER

The fans got twice the crossover action on Saturday night at the World’s Home of the Figure 8®. After a full program of oval competition, the Dad’s Truck & Auto Late Models and Scooter’s Auto Sales Stocks presented by Peters Auto Service each delighted those in attendance with a Figure 8 main event. Both had thrilling battles for the lead with some intense intersection interaction as well as crashes and smashes. Also in competition this evening were the 1-800-Radiator & AC Roadrunners and Thirsty Turtle Tavern Hornets. The Chase for the Cup clashes were one’s to witness.

The Dad’s Truck & Auto Late Models blazed into this evening with scant few races left in the $10,000-to-win Chase for the Cup championship. In qualifications, it was defending division king Mark Tunny timing in only the third sub-thirteen second lap of the year at 12.985 for quick time. Second-generation racer Casey White won the trophy dash while Bruce Tunny, Austin Tunny, and Earl Bryant captured heat races. The 25-lap oval feature had 1988 World Figure 8® Champion Leonard Basham take the early lead after making the two-hour journey north to Indianapolis. Mark Tunny marched from his 16th place starting spot using the champion’s outside groove to make the winning pass for his third oval win of the year. Basham was the runner-up with point leader Jack Dossey Jr third.

The Late Models returned for their 50-lap Figure 8 main event. Basham would shape the early advantage mix as well as would the veteran Steve Frost. Oval victor Mark Tunny and his cousin Ben were next to elevate themselves into the top two. White joined in on the fun soon after along with Dossey. The challenge trio packed in behind Mark as his pace was not as swift as normal because of damage suffered from a crossover crash in the evening’s warm-up session. But, Tunny was up to the challenge as he held off the talented pack for his third Figure 8 triumph of the season and the night’s feature sweep. White would use traffic to grab a runner-up result for the second straight week with Ben Tunny settling for third.

The Scooter’s Auto Sales Stocks presented by Peters Auto Service rolled into this rare feature doubleheader program just one week after a classic Kenny’s Auto Sales 100. Time trials started off the festivities with Joshua Carroll putting up a very impressive best lap of 13.700 seconds. Three-time champion Jimmy Kirby, rising star Eddie Rogers, and veteran Bob Johnson were best in the preliminary heat action. The 25-lap oval feature saw division icon Jack Smith go wire-to-wire for his first main event victory since 2005. Crossover ace Mike Burgess was second with a resurgent Jimmy Anderson third.

The Stocks retuned for another 25-lap clash this time on the dangerous Figure 8. The contest was passionate as it had three red flag crack-ups on a Groundhog Day opening circuit. First was a spin by Anderson that caught the edge of the Kirby car. The second saw Brian Canter’s machine on fire. The final pause came for a huge pile-up in turn one which ended the night of Kenny’s 100 champ Larry Hahn. The race resumed with Johnson as the initial leader before Donnie Sloan went up top. 2010 leading rookie Nigel Peters was next to pace, but was clipped at the intersection by Chris Shrum ripping off a bumper to bring out the red. The restart saw Chad Sizemore take the primary position, but he lost a wheel a lap later for another stoppage. Kirby snatched the lead on the restart after Peters exercised his option to switch sides for the green flag battle. Jimmy would pace the final circuits to claim his 9th career Stock Figure 8 win. Mark Eads Jr took second late. He finished on the podium in all 2010 crossover races. Peters was third.

The 1-800-Radiator & AC Roadrunners had a hearty brigade of competitors ready for tonight’s pursuit for victory. Heat one saw Justin Dibbern win after an impressive run in his Stock debut last weekend. Kevin Smith was second. The final preliminary heat had Dave Lester take the victory in his first 2010 attempt over Aaron Smay. The feature’s early stages saw bad breaks end the evening for Chase for the Cup title contenders Rex Cox II, Henry McDougalle Jr, and Dibbern. Brian Canter would occupy the top spot nearly all the way to take his first win of the season. Championship rivals (and Brothers) Kenny and Kevin Smith would complete the results podium to increase their standings lead.

The Thirsty Turtle Tavern Hornets started off the agenda with a quad-pack of heat race contests. The first had third-generation racer Dameron Taylor taking the win over Rob Mink Sr. The next preliminary saw Ted Teney topping the field led by Robert Eversole. The third heat had point leader Larry Hatfield take triumph over Don VanValkenburg III. The final tester saw Legend point leader John Greer Jr win over Cassidy Worden. Greer would finally have things go his way in the four-cylinder affair, leading the entire 20-lap distance for his first win of the year. Eversole was second to cut the point lead to just three over fellow podium finisher Hatfield.

32ND ANNUAL PEPSI 100-LAP FIGURE 8 SATURDAY AT SPEEDROME

The Home of the World Figure 8® has one of its longest standing events this Saturday night August 28th. The Speedrome plays host to the 32nd Annual Pepsi 100 for the Dad’s Truck & Auto Late Models. The century length crossover clash headlines a great card of racing action. The Scooter’s Auto Sales Stocks presented by Peters Auto Service, 1-800-Radiator & AC Roadrunners, and Thirsty Turtle Tavern Hornets all search for championship points on the famous fifth-mile oval. Racing begins at 7pm. The competition weekend gets underway Friday night with the Vogel Dairy Junior Faskarts, Indy Faskarts, INEX zMax Legends, INEX Bandoleros, Thirsty Turtle Tavern Hornets, and Hornet Figure 8’s.

Just three nights remain in the quest for the Dad’s Truck & Auto Late Model Chase for the Cup Championship and its $10,000 first prize. Jack Dossey Jr continues to lead the standings in search of a record-extending seventh title, but it was Mark Tunny who sent a message to the field last weekend. The defending Late Model titlist swept both features including an impressive oval performance. He cut the gap to Jack down from 90 markers to 35 heading into this long-distance test. The Pepsi 100 is an event that Dossey has excelled in. His resume includes a record 6 victories in the race formerly known as the season championship.

World Figure 8® Champions Bruce and Ben Tunny currently lead the battle for third place with both drivers being past winners of this upcoming contest. Along with fifth place racer Corey Turner, they look to climb back under the 100 point bubble that most say is crucial going into the One Hour Figure 8 finale on September 5th. Rounding out the existing top ten are Speedy Teepe, Jesse Tunny, Casey White, Austin Tunny, and Steve Frost. Also watch for several new faces to join the landscape during this final push towards some of the biggest Figure 8 events in the country. Here are the former winners of the Pepsi 100 Figure 8.

MYSTERY GUEST TO ANNOUNCE WORLD FIGURE 8 ENTRY ON SPEEDROME RADIO

You just never know what you will hear or see at the World’s Home of the Figure 8®. Listen to Speedrome Live radio presented by XL950am Thursday August 26th to find out more. This program’s guest lineup already includes 2007 World Figure 8® Champion Doug Greig as well as former Stock champion and team owner Chris Eads, but wait there is more. A mystery guest will be calling in to the show hosted by Hall of Fame host Kevin O’Neal at 6pm to make a proclamation. The show will be broadcast live during Thursday Night Test & Tune from 5pm to 7pm. There will be open practice for race teams along with free spectator admission. Come and be a part of Speedrome Nation! You can also listen Live on www.speedrome.com.

This mystery guest will be making an announcement for this year’s World Figure 8® Championship to be held September 9 thru 11, 2010 at the Speedrome. This drivers name will grab everyone around the Figure 8 planet’s attention. He is an icon of the sport and here is just a taste of his statistics. Over 100 feature wins and 8 track championships grace his resume. This World Figure 8 entry is a shocker. “ I want to be a part of the 34th Annual World Figure 8 and race at the Indianapolis Speedrome.” The entries have been pouring in so far with many Figure 8 hotbeds represented. States already in play are California, Florida, Michigan, Kentucky, and of course Indiana. You will have to tune in to find out this latest addition.

After this Speedrome Live radio episode, only September 9th remains on the airwave calendar for 2010. That final date will be a marathon of Speedrome coverage on XL950am. Their afternoon drive program called The Zone will broadcast live 3pm to 6pm from the track leading into the familiar weekly show hosted by Kevin O’Neal. Zone host Derek Schultz will have plenty of World Figure 8® related guests and have the phone lines open for your calls. This is the first-ever appearance for the popular sports talk show at the Speedrome. It is an exciting time at the World’s Home of the Figure 8®.

SHELBY SHAW TO SING NATIONAL ANTHEM AT 2010 WORLD FIGURE 8®

The Home of the World Figure 8® is very proud to announce that Shelby Shaw will sing the National Anthem at the 34th Annual World Figure 8® Championship on September 11th. Her beautiful voice will add the perfect touch to an already blockbuster event. Shelby electrified the Speedrome crowd with her singing of the National Anthem and God Bless America on May 29th of this year. She will reprise these two songs on our biggest racing weekend of the year.

Shelby Shaw is a 10th grade student at North Harrison High School in Ramsey, Indiana. The talented songstress has been involved in music her entire life. The young lady has performed at many social and church functions as well as several weddings. She has graced the stage at “Fourth Street Live” in Louisville, Kentucky and competed in various talent shows including the Indiana State Fair. Shaw is a regular in all of her school plays and musicals as well as singing the National Anthem at many school events. We are happy to have her again perform for us before the world recognizes her incredible voice.

The World Figure 8® Championship is a racing classic. It is the only race on the planet that a driver can win without being on the track at the start or even seeing the checkered flag. Drivers are placed in the final results by total laps completed. The 32-car starting grid is assembled with the 24 drivers who locked-in through qualifying races on Friday September 10th. The remaining 8 spots are tacked-on through unlimited time trials on Saturday afternoon. Every other car will be lined-up as alternates by their qualifying time. This line of alternates will be added individually to the race as cars drop out of the event. In the past, drivers have entered as an alternate and drove their way to a third place finish. Those cars that leave the surface can also return making this the only race that can grow in size as the laps increase. All of this while having to survive the dangerous crossover 900-plus times during the three-hour time period. It will take your breath away!

Thousands of fans from all around the United States attend this classic weekend, many scheduling their vacations around this three-day extravaganza. The best way to see the World Figure 8® Championship is with our $30 Super Saver ticket package. What you get is a reserved seat for all three nights of competition. These VIP tickets will go very fast. The last few years, they are gone weeks before the coveted weekend. To secure tickets, you can charge by phone at (317) 353-8206 or stop by the track during any of our racing events. You can also go to
www.speedrome.com and enter your contact information and someone will get with you that very day. Remember, there is only a limited supply of these $30 three-day reserved seat tickets. Get yours today!
