of Outlaws Late Model Series News & Notes: Tour’s ‘Month
of Money’ Ready To Start; Outlaws Birthday Boys; SPEED Television
Dates “This is a great way for the World of Outlaws Late Model Series to dive into the busiest season we’ve ever had,” said tour director Tim Christman, alluding to the heart of a schedule that currently shows 47 confirmed events at 40 tracks in 22 states and three Canadian provinces. “In a four-week span we’ll run three of our biggest events of the year and also visit two of the top facilities in the country – and best of all, if someone gets hot, they can really build up their bank account.” The WoO LMS version of the ‘Month of Money’ kicks off with the ‘March Through Dixie 100’ at the three-eighths-mile Pike County Speedway, where a $20,000 winner’s check has been posted. Time trials and heat races are set for Fri., March 28, with the B-Mains and 100-lap headliner scheduled for Sat., March 29. Another two-day, $20,000-to-win extravaganza is on tap for April 4-5 at Farmer City (Ill.) Raceway, a quarter-mile fairgrounds oval that will host the inaugural ‘Illini 100.’ Following an identical format to Pike County with time trials and heats on Friday night and the last-chance events and A-Main on Saturday night, the ‘Illini 100’ will be the biggest dirt Late Model event ever run in the Land of Lincoln. Then there’s the third annual Circle K Colossal 100 on April 18-19 at The Dirt Track @ Lowe’s Motor Speedway in Concord, N.C. A stop on the WoO LMS for the second straight season and already acknowledged as one of dirt Late Model racing’s crown-jewel events, the two-day show boasts a first prize of $50,000 from a total purse of $200,000. Sandwiched between the weekend spectaculars are a pair of 50-lap, $10,000-to-win events on the East Coast. The WoO LMS makes its now-traditional early-season stop at Bill Sawyer’s pristine Virginia Motor Speedway in Jamaica, Va., for the ‘Rumble on the River IV’ on Fri., April 11, then heads to Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pa., for the ‘Showdown in Sarvertown’ on Tues., April 15. MAKE A WISH: WoO LMS stars Clint Smith of Senoia, Ga., and Josh Richards of Shinnston, W.Va., celebrated birthdays in recent days. Smith,
the veteran known as ‘Cat Daddy,’ had more candles on his
birthday cake. He turned 43 on March 20. CALM BEFORE THE STORM: Just two of the 10 drivers committed to following the 2008 WoO LMS turned competitive laps over the weekend. Clint Smith and Locust Grove, Ga.’s Shane Clanton stayed in their homestate to enter Saturday night’s O’Reilly Southern All-Stars Series event at Lavonia Speedway. Smith scored an 11th-place finish in the A-Main, while Clanton saw his horrid early-season luck continue as he scratched from the feature after running into trouble during his qualifying heat. Several other drivers had their plans to go racing short-circuited by weather cancellations, including Richards and Rick Eckert of York, Pa. (Maryland’s Hagerstown Speedway on Saturday) and Bluegrass State stars Steve Francis and Darrell Lanigan (Kentucky’s Florence Speedway on Saturday). Of the 10 WoO LMS regulars, Lanigan, Chub Frank of Bear Lake, Pa., and Brian Shirley of Chatham, Ill., have not entered a single event since the finale of the Alltel DIRTcar Nationals on Feb. 16 at Volusia Speedway Park. TELEVISION TIME: Six WoO LMS events in 2008 will be televised on SPEED, World Racing Group CEO Brian Carter announced to a live television audience during Sunday night’s edition of Wind Tunnel With Dave Despain on the cable network. As part of an exclusive broadcast agreement with SPEED that also features the Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series, the WoO LMS package will include five tape-delayed events and one live broadcast. Highlighting the WoO LMS’s television package is the season-ending ‘Outlaws World Finals’ show at The Dirt Track @ Lowe’s Motor Speedway. SPEED will carry a live broadcast of both the Late Model and Sprint Car action from the four-tenths-mile oval on Sat., Nov. 1, from 8-11 p.m. ET. The ‘Outlaws World Finals’ and the WoO LMS ‘Firecracker 100’ on June 28 at Lernerville Speedway will be two of five multi-hour, ‘super-sized’ World of Outlaws programs shown on SPEED in 2008. The $40,000-to-win ‘Firecracker 100’ will be taped and then broadcast in a two-hour format on Sun., July 13, from 5-7 p.m. ET. Other WoO LMS events that will be broadcast on SPEED include the July 9 ‘Gopher 50’ at Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn. (airing on Sat., Aug. 16, from 4-5 p.m. ET); the July 25 event at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio (airing on Sat., Aug. 23, from 4-5 p.m. ET); the July 26 program at Sharon Speedway in Hartford, Ohio (airing on Sun., Aug. 31, from 12-1 p.m. ET); and the Aug. 31 ‘Oil Region Labor Day Classic’ at Tri-City Speedway in Franklin, Pa.

of Outlaws Late Model Series News & Notes: Francis Wins On A Flat;
‘Cat Daddy’ & Fuller Visit Alabama; Eckert Scores
Again: Smith, 42, ended up with the better finish in the two-day show, placing second to local driver Shep Lucas of McKenzie, Ala., in Saturday night’s unsanctioned 40-lap Super Late Model A-Main that paid $5,000 to win. He challenged Lucas, but his hopes were hampered by a track on which passing was difficult and the caution flags that prevented his harder tires from coming alive. The 40-year-old Fuller, meanwhile, registered a new track record in Friday night’s time trials and won a heat race to earn the pole position in Saturday night’s feature, but he couldn’t shake the bad luck that plagued him last month in WoO LMS events at Volusia Speedway Park. He was the leader less than 10 laps into the A-Main when a hit from behind on a restart bent his car’s left-rear bodywork, leaving him with a cut tire two circuits later. He returned after changing the tire, but retired shortly thereafter and settled for a 13th-place finish. The WoO LMS traveling buddies returned to Smith’s shop at 6 o’clock on Sunday morning. Fuller spent the day cleaning and massaging his equipment before hopping on an evening flight back to upstate New York. Fuller will enter this Saturday night’s Advance Auto Parts Super DIRTcar Series season opener for big-block Modifieds at Hagerstown (Md.) Speedway before flying to Smith’s on March 27. Then he’ll fire up his hauler and drive to the WoO LMS ‘March Through Dixie 100’ at Pike County Speedway. Smith, meanwhile, plans to compete at either Lavonia (Ga.) Speedway or Volunteer Speedway this weekend, then head to the Team GRT chassis shop in Greenbrier, Ark., at the beginning of the week. He’ll spend a few days at GRT getting a new rear clip put on his car that was damaged in a crash last month at East Bay Raceway Park in Gibsonton, Fla., and some updates added to his newest machine; then he’ll stop at his sponsor Don Cliburn’s Mississippi track, Jackson Motor Speedway, to do some testing before the WoO LMS weekend at Pike County. |
