71-YEAR OLD HANK LOWER GETS FIRST ANDERSON WIN IN WINGED SPRINT CAR EVENT

“From Anderson Speedway: ANDERSON, Ind. (May 20, 2009) – Angola’s Hank Lower recorded his first ever feature win at Anderson Speedway capturing the Must See Racing.com 60 on Wednesday.

Lower, 71, led all 60 laps and had to survive a late race restart by holding off the two drivers that set new world records at Anderson Speedway.

Daleville’s Aaron Pierce brought out the final caution with two laps remaining when he lost a left rear tire and spun in turn three while running third. Jim Swain flipped behind Pierce. That set up a two-lap shoot-out between Lower, Ryan Litt and Dave Steele. Litt and Steele climbed from the fourth row to claim the second and third spots.

Pierce chased Lower in the early stages of the race but went high in turn four on lap 40 which allowed Litt to make the inside pass. Steele got around Pierce on the outside on lap 47 on the front straight.

Jeff Bloom had an impressive run to finish fourth after starting 12Th.

“This was awesome,” Lower said of the victory at Anderson.

Steele based on his win Sunday at Winchester and his third place run at Anderson won the “Battle of the Banks”

Daleville’s Aaron Pierce caught Troy Underwood at the checkers to win the first heat race using an outside pass coming off the fourth corner.

Crawfordsville’s Sondi Eden captured the second heat win chased by Bill Tyler. Matt Rademaker made hard contact with the outside wall in turn three after making contact with Patrick Stewart.

The third heat race was captured by Michigan’s Jeff Bloom followed by Geoff Kaiser. The race was red flagged on the third lap when Hank Lower and Jim Swain tangled in turn three.

Hank Lower captured the semi-feature to advance to the Must See Racing.com 60 lap feature with Jimmy McCune, Jason Blonde, Ron Kohler and Jason Bradford advancing.

Chad Goff and Patrick Stewart tangled on the first lap in turn two and Jim Swain suffered a mechanical problem after two laps while running in the top three.

Florida driver Dave Steele set a new track record and world record for quarter-mile paved ovals during qualifying for the Winged Sprints with a lap at 10.344 seconds. Steele’s lap broke the old mark set by Geoff Kaiser on June 24, 2006 at 10.414 seconds. Canadian driver Ryan Litt also eclipsed the old record by turning a lap at 10.397 seconds.

STEWART AUTOMOTIVE & TRANSMISSION POSTS $1,000 “BOUNTY” FOR NEW SALEM SPEEDWAY TRACK RECORD

SALEM, IN, April 14 - Qualifications for the upcoming Scott County Visitors Commission Winged Sprint Spectacular, presented by Must See Racing.com, has taken on new significance with the posting of a $1,000 bonus for any driver who is able to set quick time and establish a new one-lap Salem Speedway track record on Saturday night, April 25th. Steve Stewart of Stewart Automotive & Transmission in Salem has placed a $1,000 “bounty” on the current overall track record of 14.377-seconds, which was established by Michigan’s Kevin Feeney during a 2006 Auto Value Super Sprint Series visit to the famed high banks. “Steve Stewart has certainly added another element of speed and excitement to the upcoming event,” said Salem Speedway general manager Richard Deaton. “With a $1,000 bonus up for grabs we’re sure to witness an all-out assault on the Salem track record.” The Scott County Visitors Commission Winged Sprint Spectacular, presented by Must See Racing.com, features both the Auto Value/Bumper to Bumper Super Sprint Series and the Hoosier Outlaw Sprint Series. This marks the first combined show for the super-fast sprint cars at Salem Speedway. The April 25th race also features the Lucas Oil Super Stocks and Dave & Deb’s Winner’s Circle Street Stocks.

Open-wheel racing returns to Speedrome

INDIANAPOLIS -- The excitement of open-wheel racing will return to the Indianapolis Speedrome with four special Sunday afternoon events featuring the Hoosier Outlaw Sprint Series and the Wolverine Outlaw/Rumble Series midgets. Classic Motorsports president Tony Barhorst, who promotes the popular Rumble Series of Indoor Racing, announced the creation of the May 3, May 31, July 19 and Aug. 30 "Sunday Afternoon Stimulus" events. The rain date is Sunday, Sept. 20. The Wolverine/Rumble midgets will headline the May 3 and May 31 programs, then combine with the HOSS winged sprint cars for a doubleheader on July 19. HOSS will headline the Aug. 30 program, joined by the UMRA TQ midgets. The four events will feature a variety of open-wheel divisions, as follows: May 3 -- Wolverine/Rumble midgets (50-lap feature), modifieds, Lucas Oil quarter midgets, karts and junior sprints; May 31 -- Wolverine/Rumble midgets (75-lap feature), modifieds, Lucas Oil quarter midgets, karts and junior sprints; July 19 -- HOSS sprint cars (100-lap feature), Wolverine/Rumble midgets (75-lap feature), Lucas Oil quarter midgets, karts and junior sprints; Aug. 30 -- HOSS sprint cars (100-lap feature), UMRA TQ midgets, Lucas Oil quarter midgets, karts and junior sprints. For each event, pit gates will open at 9 a.m. and front gates at 10. Heats and features for the midgets, sprints and modifieds will begin at 3 p.m. The quarter midget, kart and junior sprint heats will run in the late morning and early afternoon, and will be mostly completed before 3 p.m. The entire program should be over by 6 p.m., Barhorst said. The races will benefit the Kenny Irwin Jr. Memorial Foundation's Dare to Dream Camp for underprivileged youth. "I'm really pleased to be able to bring open-wheel racing back to the Speedrome," said Barhorst, who is leasing the track for the four dates. "The tradition of midget racing at the Speedrome is almost unmatched, and we know from the Auto Value Super Sprint race in 2000 that winged sprint car racing is very exciting here at the Speedrome." Best known as the home of the World Figure-8 Championship, the 1/5-mile Speedrome has a rich tradition of stock car and open-wheel racing. A.J. Foyt, Bobby Allison, Darrell Waltrip and Tony Stewart all raced at the eastside track, which hosted nationally televised midget races in the 1980s and '90s. The "Sunday Afternoon Stimulus " will mark the first midget races at the track since 2005 and the first sprint car races since one was held in 2000. The Hoosier Outlaw Sprint Series, formed in 2001, competes at such high-speed tracks as Salem Speedway and Winchester Speedway. Its cars use 410 cubic-inch engines that produce 800-850 horsepower. Geoff Kaiser, who competes regularly in the Rumble Series midgets, is the defending series champion. "Our guys are really excited about it," said Tony Swanson, who owns the HOSS series with his wife, Deb. "When you get to a venue that small, there'll be a lot of passing and it should keep the field fairly even. It should be a really exciting event. We've never been on a track that small, and we've never run a 100-lapper. "If we get 20 cars, like we usually do, it'll be a gunshoot to see who comes out of it." Veteran driver Jeff Bloom, who finished third in the 2000 race, compared wrestling a winged sprint car around the Speedrome to driving a NASCAR stock car at Bristol or Martinsville. "It's tenuous," Bloom said of the driving style required. "You're not on the throttle that much. These are 410 sprint cars, but it's really kind of simple, because you're not going 160 or 170 (mph) like we're used to. It takes patience -- lots and lots of patience. If anybody watched Bristol or watches Martinsville, it'll be the same thing. Patience." Yet the 2000 race -- won by Gary Fedewa, who started eighth -- provided plenty of passing. "You gotta remember, we have wings on, and we can adjust them," Bloom said. "If the track changes, guys can adjust (the handling). You'll see cars running up through the field." The non-winged midget race will be co-sanctioned by the Michigan-based Wolverine Outlaw Midget Series and the Rumble Series. Doug Dietsch was the 2008 WOMS champion, while female driver Kim Hughes, who raced in the Rumble Series last winter, was rookie of the year. WOMS owner Dan Vander Molen sees "Sunday Afternoon Stimulus" events as a way to increase the visibility of his group, which cites cost containment for teams as a chief goal. WOMS features will pay at least $1,000 to win this season, and the series no longer has a spec tire rule. "It's more of a fun-type atmosphere at our events," Vander Molen said. "It's not as cut-throat. … And with the tire rule allowing both Hoosier and American Racer tires, we're making some pretty bold steps this year. " Barhorst, who has promoted midget racing since 1998, said he appreciates the efforts Vander Molen is making to reel in the cost of fielding a car. "I welcome this co-sanction with the Wolverine Outlaw Midget Series, because I feel they have a progressive rules package," he said. "I really think the future of midget racing is tied to lowering the costs of participation, and that's why I like their tire rule of allowing both Hoosier and American Racer tires to compete. We expect many of the Rumble Series indoor competitors to participate in these outdoor events at the Speedrome. "The series rules are open to new midget cars and the older VW-powered cars manufactured during the golden era of midget racing at the Speedrome in the '80s and '90s. Kenyon Cars and Ford Focus cars are given a weight break and can race with us. Their rules can be found on www.wolverinemidgets.com. " The four races will benefit the Kenny Irwin Jr. Memorial Foundation's Dare to Dream Camp, located near New Castle, Ind., where underprivileged youth may enjoy swimming, fishing, horseback riding and karting. Kenny's parents, Ken Sr. and Reva, operate the non-profit foundation that the late NASCAR driver started. Kenny raced at the Speedrome early in his career and went on to become rookie of the year in both the NASCAR Craftsman Truck and Winston Cup series. He died in an accident at New Hampshire International Speedway in 2000.
