Johnson Battles to U.S. 36 Nationals Triumph
Bryan Hulbert - Cameron, Missouri (July 3, 2012) The inaugural U.S. 36 Nationals presented by Racinboys.com and TBJ Promotions was one for the record books as Jason Johnson notched his seventh win of the 2012 season with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by MAVTV.
Starting ninth, Johnson would have ground to make up as the race began with the Superior Marine No. 23 of Seth Bergman led the field to the green only to see the red fly as Jonathan Cornell met the front straight-a-way wall.
Pulling to the restart, the battle for the lead would go wheel to wheel for the first three laps as Bergman worked to hold off local favorite Jack Dover.
Settling at the front of the field, the P.P.M No. 23 would work to a ten car length advantage as the fight for second saw the Oil Medics No. 77x of Wayne Johnson going wheel to wheel with Dover for a moment before the Certified Transmission No. 53 marched to the highline to hold the runner up spot.
Chasing Bergman into slower traffic with, Dover would close the gap with Wayne Johnson and Logan Forler in tow but as slower traffic thinned, Bergman pulled away.
Moving past the half-way point, Dover would suddenly slow in order to force the caution on lap seventeen. Returning after visiting the work area, the Nebraska native would restart at the tail.
Restarting sixth with thirteen laps remaining, the MVT No. 41 of Johnson would begin his final march to the front. Battling into third over Logan Forler on lap twenty, the next car in line would be Wayne Johnson. Getting the run for the slide-job, things would get close as the Oil Medics No. 77x fell to third on lap twenty one.
Running down Seth Bergman on the same lap, Johnson would stay to the high line off the exit turn four; taking the point on the twenty-second circuit. Clicking through the closing laps, the Stenhouse/JJR No. 41 pulled a comfortable lead as the checkered flag fell
Commenting on his run to the front, the driver of the MVT No. 41 stated, “You had to put on brutal slide jobs to get by the guys. You’ve just had to shut the door on these guys because it was so slick getting off of four and you had to fight to get the run but that seemed to be the corner where I could get around these guys.”
With emotions running high, post-race interviews would become heated between Jason and second finishing Wayne Johnson, causing Lucas Oil ASCS officials to intervene in order to keep the peace.
Seth Bergman crossed the line third and commented on the antics, “it’s getting interesting back here. Feel like we’re at the WWF or something.” Bergman would also collect the night’s Weld Wheels Smooth Move of the Race after holding off Jack Dover, who had the preferred line, for the race lead.
Taking his best finish in Lucas Oil ASCS competition, Logan Forler would cross the line fourth with Brady Bacon rounding out the top five.
Brad Loyet was sixth with Johnny Herrera advancing from tenth to seventh. Tony Bruce Jr. claimed eighth after starting seventeenth with Kyle Bellm and Dustin Morgan completing the top ten.

Bellm a Warrior Winner at Double X
Cody Morris, California, Missouri (6-24-2012) - Following a Saturday night duo with the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour, the Speedway Motors ASCS Warrior Region returned to California, Missouri’s Double X Speedway for the second of three Warrior Region visits this season (Paul Gray Photo).
Following an impressive third place finish in Saturday’s ASCS Speedweek finale at Lucas Oil Speedway, Nixa, Missouri’s Kyle Bellm entered Sunday night’s Warrior contest at Double X with top ten finishes in each of the seven Warrior contests completed thus far in the 2012 campaign - six of those being of the top five variety.
So it is of small surprise that the Nixa Nightmare wired all 25 laps of the ASCS Warrior main event at Double X for his first Warrior victory of the season aboard the Jeff Smith owned and powered Tiger Towing and Albrite Heating & Cooling no. 86 Maxim.
Starting on the pole of the 25 lap main event, only a few cautions would slow Bellm’s pace as the Nixa Nightmare gained the second ASCS win of his career following a Warrior score last season.
Bellm also had some unbeknownst luck in the invisible rear view as Warrior point leader Jonathon Cornell maintained the runner up spot until a spinning with just a couple laps remaining, reducing Cornell to a seventh place finish that brings Bellm to just 8 points off Cornell’s leading pace.
Tyler Blank finished with runner up honors following Cornell’s spin, with Brad Graham claiming show position honors.
Following his first ASCS victory in astounding fashion just one night before in ASCS National Tour action, Cody Baker took Hard Charger honors with a charge from 16th to fourth. Austin Alumbaugh completed the top five finishing order.
Tyler Blank, Matt Close, and Kyle Bellm took heat race wins over the 19 car field.
The Speedway Motors ASCS Warrior Region returns to action on July 3rd for a one night co-sanctioned holiday special against the ASCS National Tour at Junction Motor Speedway in Cameron, Missouri.

Baker Shines at Lucas Oil Speedway
Bryan Hulbert - Wheatland, Missouri (June 23, 2012) Cody Baker represented the Speedway Motors ASCS Warrior Region well Saturday night at the Diamond of Dirt Tracks, taking his first Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series feature victory.
Starting third for the night’s thirty lap A-Feature at the Lucas Oil Speedway, the XXX/Hall Performance No. 38 shot into the runner up spot on the start with pole sitter Josh Fisher taking the lead. Slowing for a caution on lap two, Fisher would pull the field on the restart only to see the yellow displayed again on lap four.
Taking off to a half-straight advantage, the No. 86x of Fisher would give up the lead on lap nine after slipping off the inside groove.
With all four tires in the rubber, Baker would take over the lead while Fisher worked to hold off the Legends BBQ No. 50z of Zach Chappell. With tires becoming less and less effective, Fisher would drop to fourth as Chappell raced by with the FVP/Casey’s General Store No. 21 of Brian Brown in tow.
Battling back into third after falling back on the lap four restart, Brown worked into second on lap twenty-two.
Working feverishly to clear lapped traffic with Brown and now Kyle Bellm on the move in third, the jet-black bottom groove would be enough to keep any challenges at bay as the checkered flag fell on Cody Baker’s first Lucas Oil ASCS presented by MAVTV win.
Brian Brown would take second with Kyle Bellm coming from seventh to round out the top three. Tony Bruce Jr. would take fourth after starting eighth while Zach Chappell held on for a top five finish.
Jonathan Cornell advanced three spots to sixth with Sean McClelland moving up nine positions to take seventh. Eighth would go to Brad Loyet with Josh Fisher and Johnny Herrera rounding out the top ten.

Jack Dover Captures The Bud Shootout
Cody Morris, Osborn, Missouri (6-15-2012) - For the second time in three years, Springfield, Nebraska’s “Dancin” Jack Dover captured The Bud Shootout at US 36 Raceway in Osborn, Missouri.
Dover snuck by race long leader Jonathon Cornell just before a lap 20 yellow that could have potentially nixed the winning pass. The two time ASCS Midwest Champ survived the final 5 rounds to take his first ASCS victory of the season aboard the Roush Yates powered Certified Transmissions, Home Pride, and Oil Medics sponsored no. 53.
Following a trio of heat races that handed $500 to the victors courtesy of Apple Market Grocery Stores, Casey’s General Stores, Bill’s Camper Sales of St. Joseph’s and Klein Motors; Aussie transplant Chad Ely led the field to the initial start of the 25 lap main event featuring the ASCS Midwest Regions vs. the ASCS Warrior Region.
Perennial Show Me State powerhouse and current Warrior leader Jonathon Cornell took the lap one command before Jon Corbin got upside down on the second circuit. A second red flag came on lap 10 as Midwest Region point leader Stu Snyder tumbled, collecting Miranda Arnold and Randy Hibbs and forcing early exits for a pair of pilots in competition for their first top five finishes of the 2012 season.
Pacing the 25 lap main event in the top three for the first half of the race, Dover made his move on the 19th circuit, completing the race winning pass and putting a lap in the books before a Gage Dorr yellow slowed the lightning fast action for the final time.
Cornell chased Dover to the finish line, ultimately falling a few car length short but taking a runner up finish that will increase his grip on the ASCS Warrior campaign. Midwest rep Jordan Boston advanced five spots to claim the show position.
Jon Agan moved up six positions to finish fourth with Nixa, Missouri’s Kyle Bellm continuing a strong string of finishes with a fifth place showing.
Topeka, Kansas rookie Wyatt Burks took the Hard Charger effort with a run up from 21st to tenth, earning half of the 50/50 ticket proceeds for his effort ($372).
Forrest Sutherland, Jack Dover, and Jake Martens each $500 heat race wins over the 22 car field.
Jonathon Cornell’s runner up finish will increase his point lead in the Warrior ranks, with Stu Snyder furthering his bid for a first ASCS Midwest title despite the lap 10 flip resulting in a 17th place finish as his two immediate pursuers failed to check into the US 36 battleground.
The Speedway Motors ASCS Warrior Region continues the Father’s Day Weekend with a Saturday night weekend finale at LA Raceway in LaMonte, Missouri.

Martin a Hometown California Warrior Winner!
Cody Morris, California, Missouri (5-27-2012) - Following a Saturday night push at LA Raceway, the Speedway Motors ASCS Warrior Region struck the final note of their Memorial Day Weekend double with a Sunday night stand at California, Missouri’s Double X Speedway .
Starting outside front row of the 25 lap Speedway Motors ASCS Warrior Region main event, hometown favorite Randy Martin added to another notch in an illustrious career of Missouri sprint car racing.
Martin immediately placed the Rousch/Yates powered Diamond Pet Foods no. 14 J&J in the early lead and went unchallenged to earn his second Speedway Motors ASCS Warrior Region win of the young season.
Martin was chased to the stripe by season opening Warrior winner and current ASCS Warrior point leader Jonathon Cornell, with Adam Jones advancing a spot to claim show position honors at the finish line.
Nixa, Missouri’s Kyle Bellm turned in a remarkable performance after being caught in an opening lap six car scrum that disable both a shock and a Jacob’s Ladder on the 86 machine, as well as removing Bellm to the tail of the field for the complete restart.
With a severely wounded mount, Bellm charged from the tail of the field to a fourth place finish, earning the Hard Charger effort in the eyes of every Double X patron. However, official Hard Charger honors belong to an equally deserving Tyler Blank. Blank advanced 11 positions en route to his fifth place finish.
Jonathon Cornell, Brad Graham, and Gabe Maycock earned heat race victories over the 26 car ASCS Warrior field, with Wyatt Burks taking the first transfer in the night’s only 10 lap B Feature.
The Speedway Motors ASCS Warrior Region bounces back into action in three weeks with a Friday June 15th outing against the ASCS Midwest Region at Cameron, Missouri’s US 36 Speedway. The ASCS Warrior then go solo for their third trip to LaMonte, Missouri’s LA Raceway the following night, Saturday, June 16th.

Bruce Thunders to Valley Speedway Victory
by Bryan Hulbert - Grain Valley, Missouri (May 23, 2012) Lapped traffic and a slick racetrack proved the perfect combination for Tony Bruce Jr. as the driver of the Oil Medics 18 dominated the night’s non-stop 30 lap feature event at Valley Speedway in Grain Valley, Missouri.
Asked about several daring moves in slower traffic, Bruce replied, “You just got to do what you got to do fortunately I’ve got Wayne Priddy here; he gives me a hell of a car every time.”
Starting the night’s A-Feature with the local curfew within sight, the field rolled to the green with Speedway Motors Warrior Region favorites Kyle Bellm and Brian Brown on the front row. Getting the early lead, Bellm would surrender the top spot to the Casey’s General Store 21 on lap two. Charging from sixth, Bruce would take over third from the 77x of Wayne Johnson on the fifth round with slower traffic coming into play as Bruce went to work on Bellm for the runner up spot.
Working high in three and four and low in one and two as the race approached lap ten, the Weld Wheels 18 of Bruce would secure the runner up spot and quickly pull to the back bumper of the FVP 21 of Brown; taking a full head of steam to the bottom groove for the slide job exiting turn four on the tenth circuit.
Challenging back to the inside line, Brown would pull even with the Oil Medics 18 but would be unable to complete the pass as Bruce began diving in and out of slower traffic; sliding pairs of cars and often times having to thread the needle in order to keep Brian Brown at bay until finally gaining a comfortable advantage.
As the chase for the lead worked into ever increasing slower traffic the battle for third through fifth would see eighth starting Jonathan Cornell able to race into third over Kyle Bellm and Wayne Johnson on lap sixteen before accidental contact while battling in traffic on lap twenty-one shuffled the Kiowa Line Builders 28 back to sixth; allowing Bellm to reclaim the show position with Wayne Johnson and Brad Loyet in tow.
Racing into the night’s final five laps, lapped traffic would clear with Brian Brown going full tilt but the straight-a-way deficit would prove too much as Tony Bruce Jr. raced to his second Lucas Oil ASCS win of the 2012 season. Brown would take the runner up spot with Kyle Bellm, Wayne Johnson, and Brad Loyet rounding out the top five.
Following his runner up finish, Brian Brown donated his winnings for the night to the family of Jeff Osborn.

Martin Wins on Fumes
by Cody Morris
Wheatland, Missouri (5-5-2012) - The Speedway Motors ASCS Warrior Region invaded Wheatland, Missouri’s “Diamond of Dirt Tracks”. Thirty Eight teams checked in for the first of four ASCS events at the state-of-the-art Lucas Oil Speedway.
A multiple title winner under the Winged Outlaw Warrior banner before the Speedway Motors ASCS Warrior took the reigns in 2011, California, Missouri’s Randy Martin took a close win over Elwood, Kansas native Jay Russell.
Martin likely redefined close, running out of fuel on the final circuit of the 25 lap Speedway Motors ASCS Warrior Region main event. A photo finish at the finish line with Russell charging by, Martin bested Russell by a scant 0.023 seconds for his first ASCS Warrior Region victory of the 2012 season aboard the Roush/Yates powered Diamond Pet Foods no. 14 J&J.
An ASCS Warrior winner in season opening action at Valley Speedway, Jonathon Cornell settled into an early lead, approaching lapped traffic early on. As Cornell reached the tail of the field, the Sedalia, Missouri shoe could not avoid being snagged in a Miranda Arnold flip.
Martin inherited the lead, fighting off a spirited assault from defending Speedway Motors ASCS Warrior Region champion Brad Loyet until the latter spun to a lap 16 stop.
A second Loyet spin would set up the classic green-white-checkered finish for the field. Six event stoppages took an apparent toll on Martin’s setup, but the cagy veteran was able to glide across the finish line with the slightest of margins.
Russell settled for runner up honors with Josh Fisher blasting from 18th to third at the finish line. Fisher’s charge through the field easily netted the Smithton, Missouri pilot Hard Charger status.
Grain Valley, Missouri’s “Blackjack” Brian Brown battled up from 15th in the initial starting order to cross the finish line fourth, with Nixa, Missouri’s Kyle Bellm also making an impressive charge from 16th to complete the top five finishing order.
One night removed from an American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Sooner Region score that followed his first career Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour presented by MavTV victory, Snohomish, Washington’s Seth Bergman finished sixth with Wichita’s Mike Peters, Arizona’s Logan Forler, Cornell, and Mike Trent rounding out the top ten.
Brad Loyet, Austin Alumbaugh, Johnathon Cornell, Randy Martin, and Wyatt Burks each took heat race wins over the impressive 38 car field. Brian Brown and Kyle Bellm each took winning style transfer in the twin 12 lap B Feature events.
The 2012 Speedway Motors ASCS Warrior Region campaign will take a couple of weeks off to prepare for a duel with the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour presented by MavTV on Friday, May 23rd at Grain Valley, Missouri’s Valley Speedway. That event will launch a trio of Memorial Day Weekend events, as a Saturday, May 24th stop LA Raceway will play rubber match before a Sunday, May 25th stand at California, Missouri’s Double X Speedway.
