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
www.speedrome.com.
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.

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!

States attend this classic weekend, many
scheduling their vacations around this three-day
extravaganza. The best way to see the World
