O’Reilly All Star Late Model Series Heads to Central PA Speedway for the ‘Grizzly’ |
|
Pittsburgh, PA (5-20-10) - Jason Shank - All Star Championship Racing Inc. As the month of May comes to a close, the O’Reilly All Star Late Model Series will make their way into the Memorial Day weekend with a trip to Tim Bainey’s Central PA Speedway for the $5,000 to win ‘Grizzly’ on Saturday and Sunday, May 29 & 30. The ‘Grizzly’ will be the first of two ASLMS events to be held at CPS in 2010 with the $10,000 to win ‘Yankee Doodle’ 50 slated for the traditional Fourth of July weekend. ‘I am personally a fan of two day events,’ says CPS Director of Operations Dan Bainey. ‘It gives the fans two times the action and at a discounted price. For the teams, they only have to make the trip once and they get to race for some money both days. The whole atmosphere at the Big Bear has been great and this year we’re concentrating on giving the fans as much for their money as we possibly can.’ Saturday night, May 29, will have the First ever ‘Battle at the Big Bear’ king of the hill style racing added to the lineup. The Battle will be made of the top 10 finishing Late Models from the Dash for Cash going head to head. The ‘Dash for Cash’ will be a 10-lap event for the fastest 14 drivers from the Victory Signs Time Trials presented by Fleming Design Solutions with $500 going to the winner. Also added to the night for the non-dash cars will be a ‘Happy Half Hour’ Practice session to help fine tune their setups for Sunday’s Heats and Main Event. ‘We really want to make sure we have a full plate of racing Saturday for the teams and the fans,’ said Dan Bainey. ‘By adding the Battle and giving the teams an open practice it adds more money to the pot and a whole lot of action for the fans. We are going to try and give the fans an inside view from the pits. We’re going to have an extra announcer in the pit area interviewing drivers and crews about the changing track conditions and how they are affecting the cars. It definitely is outside the normal box of short track racing and from a fan point of view it should be cool. The ticket prices are set pretty low at $5 for the first day if you buy the two day pass, we should have a great turnout.” Drivers expected to be in attendance throughout the weekend include ASLMS regulars such as current point leader Rob Blair, Boom Briggs, Rod Conley, John Garvin Jr., Jared Hawkins, Dave Hess Jr., Matt Lux, defending 'Grizzly' winner Jared Miley, Greg Oakes, Gregg Satterlee, and Darren Peters. Also anticipated on being in action during the ‘Grizzly’ weekend include some of Central and Western PA’s finest like Keith Barbara, Denton Boyer, Chris Farrell, Alex Ferree, John Flinner, Jeremy Miller, Tim Smith Jr., and Waylon Wagner to name a few. Central PA’s pit gates will open at 3:00 p.m. on both days for the $5,000 to-win ‘Grizzly’ while the driver’s meeting will be held at approximately 5:30 p.m. Hot laps are scheduled to begin around 6:00 p.m. and the Victory Signs Time Trials presented by Fleming Design Solutions and racing to follow.

Hess Jr. Hold Off Carrier for First Career O’Reilly All Star Late Model Win! |
|
Millersburg, OH – May 15, 2010 – Jason Shank – All Star Championship Racing Inc. Dave Hess Jr. of Waterford, PA has been some kind of hot to begin the 2010 season and that success has stuck with the young pilot as the O’Reilly All Star Late Model Series gets into full swing. Hess held off the hard charging Eddie Carrier Jr. and the 2009 ASLMS Champion Rob Blair to pick up his first career ASLMS win at Hilltop Speedway in Millersburg, OH. A packed house watched Lance Elson and Carrier Jr. led the talented 24-car field to the green flag with Carrier jumping out to the early lead from his outside starting position. Hess made his presence known early as he slide under Elson to capture the second place position before the first lap was complete. The race slowed on lap 5 as Waterville, OH’s Matt Miller slowed coming down the front straightaway bringing out the first of two cautions. Carrier Jr. led the Delaware Style restart with Hess Jr. and Blair in tow. Hess worked the bottom side to perfection as he made his way around the ‘Salt Rock Express’ for the lead on lap 8. Meanwhile, the racing was as action packed throughout the field as it was at the front. Gregg Satterlee, Jared Miley, and Boom Briggs were battling three-wide for the seventh position as Hess Jr. held off Carrier Jr. for the lead. Hess and Carrier put on a show up front as Carrier stayed on Hess’s rear deck-lid throughout the event while Blair stayed right with the front two. The action was plentiful before the second caution on lap 25 for Darren Peters slowed the pace. The race went caution-free for the last 15 laps as Carrier was unable to get around Hess as he held on for his first career ASLMS win followed by Carrier in second, Blair in third, Tim Dohm came home fourth in his first event since eye surgery, and Mike Knight was fifth. Jared Miley finished sixth with Zack Dohm in seventh, Gregg Satterlee in eighth, Boom Briggs was ninth, and Jared Hawkins rounded out the top ten. |
