Daytona Beach, Fla. (Feb 17, 2013) – Venturini Motorsports driver John Wes Townley took the checkered flag Saturday after an amazing sequence of events inside the finals 10 laps left him at the front of the Lucas Oil 200 presented by MAVTV American Real.

Townley won from the pole in what was the 50thannual ARCA Racing Series event at Daytona International Speedway.

“It’s one thing to win your first race in ARCA, it’s another to win at Daytona,” Townley said after the first win in the 31-year history of Venturini Motorsports at Daytona International Speedway.

“This is just a great day for Venturini Motorsports,” Townley said. “This is priceless. I almost wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. It’s a real honor.”

The final 49 laps were all under the green flag.

Kyle Larson finished second, Ricky Ehhrgot third and Frank Kimmel fourth. Sean Corr came in fifth.
Townley passed eight-time Daytona winner Bobby Gerhart with seven laps to go when Gerhart slowed.

“I don’t really know what happened there,” Townley said. “He checked up. We made a little contact.”

After going green after the third caution at lap 22, Gerhart, Townley, Ehrgott and Larson broke away from the pack along with the lapped car of Chris Buescher, which tucked in right behind Gerhart and remained there for about 50 laps. The five cars created their own pack and coasted for nearly 40 laps while the second set of cars were much further back, but continued on the lead lap.

Things remained in that order until Buescher moved out of the way with just under 10 laps to go and Gerhart slowed, eventually rocketing down pit lane at high speed. He returned to the track before eventually pulling off the track and finishing 29th because of a fuel pump problem. Gerhart was attempting to win his ninth time at Daytona.

In the pre-race drivers meeting, ARCA officials stressed to the drivers to remain patient and be courteous to others. Townley, of Watkinsville, Ga. said that wasn’t an easy thing to do.

“It’s a tough thing to do,” he said. “A few times I wanted to duck out and see what I could do. I’m glad that I didn’t.”

Larson, racing in the No. 4 Cessna Chevrolet, said he couldn’t get any closer to the front. “The race went pretty smooth,” he said. “But, I couldn’t really make any moves. I was wide open. We’ll take second.”

Milka Duno was the early race leader until her car had troubles and she had to make repairs and ended up four laps down in 28th. Matt Kurzejewski and Josh Williams also led laps during the race.

The crash on lap 19 sent drivers Justin Boston, Darrell Wallace and Steve Kemp to the infield care center. They were treated and released. Julien Jousse caused the first caution when his motor blew up. The final caution came during a six-car crash that occurred after the green flag dropped and several cars never got up to speed.

There were only three cautions for 19 laps in the event and five different leaders. The race was completed in 1:29:18.

Billy Venturini, general manager for the VMS team, said the win meant everything for his family and team.

“This is the first time I cried in victory lane,” he said. “This was definitely the highlight of our entire racing career. I think we’ve won at just about every other track we go to except here.”

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Feb. 16, 2013) — On a night in which Daytona International Speedway and ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards legend Bill Venturini claimed his first victory in 31 years of competing at the “World Center of Racing,” Frank Kimmel was pleased to get out of town with a fourth-place finish in Saturday’s Lucas Oil 200 presented by MAV TV American Real.

Kimmel scored his eighth career top-five finish in 22 career starts — but his first since 2008 — when he started his No. 44 Ansell/Menards Toyota Camry in 19th, but took advantage of adept pit strategy, track position and a good drafting car to drive from outside the top-10 to his final finishing position.

Kimmel, who leaves Daytona fourth in the standings and more than 100 points ahead of where he was last season — when a yellow-line violation penalty knocked him back to 21st in the final rundown — was well aware of that fact.

“It’s a good start to the season,” Kimmel said. “It ran good and battled all day — I think I probably passed more cars than anybody out there, it seemed like, so it was a good day. We got a good finish out of what we had and that’s all we can ask for.

“I was able to get up to the front of that second pack — I drafted a lot with the 32 (Mason Mingus) and the 82 (Sean Corr) and that helped a lot. Once we got up there we was just able to hang on.”

The respect given to Kimmel — a nine-time ARCA Racing Series champion — was obvious as both youngsters sought out the veteran Kimmel post-race in the impound area to swap notes and bench-race while another youngster, John Wes Townley, celebrated in Daytona’s Victory lane with his Venturini Motorsports crew.

Kimmel pitted only twice during the race and true to his pre-race plan with crew chief Jeriod Prince, took only Sunoco race fuel under cautions at about lap 10 and again at about lap 20, while running their Hoosier tires for two laps of qualifying and the 80 laps of the race without a change.

“I’ll take a fourth-place at Daytona any day,” Prince said. “Normally you come out of here with a lot of crashed, torn-up race cars so I’ll take fourth at a superspeedway. We had some (left-front) fender damage and the car wasn’t as quick as it needed to be on account of that, but we got out in front of that second pack and picked up three tenths (of a second) while leading, so it was good to know it was better out front.”

Kimmel’s biggest “moment” of the night came during an accident on lap 19, when at least five cars got tangled up on the frontstretch with the fracas starting in a side-by-side draft right in front of Kimmel’s neon-yellow Toyota.

“There were some exciting moves out there, for sure,” Kimmel said. “But I told my guys at ThorSport Racing all weekend how good that car drives. With a little luck, you can drive through anything and fortunately — you see the mess happening, you don’t panic and you try to drive through it.”

“That accident was scary,” Prince said of the mood on the pit box, “but not as scary as the fuel mileage at the end (because) the computer was showing we were gonna be out of fuel with five (laps) to go. So we had our fingers and toes crossed at the end.”

But bolstering Kimmel and ThorSport’s spirits even more is the fact that Kimmel’s about the only driver in the top 10 in Daytona’s opening rundown that’s contesting the full ARCA Racing Series schedule.

The series’ second event is in three weeks at Mobile (Ala.) International Speedway on March 8-9. Menards Pole Qualifying presented by Ansell is Friday, March 8 with the main event on Saturday afternoon, March 9.

ABOUT THORSPORT RACING
ThorSport Racing, based in a state-of-the-art 100,000-square-foot facility in Sandusky, Ohio, is the longest-tenured active NASCAR Camping World Truck Series team. ThorSport, which has run full season Truck Series schedules annually beginning in 1998, in 2013 will run the No. 88 Menards Toyota Tundra driven by Matt Crafton, the No. 98 Carolina Nut Co./Curb Records Toyota Tundra driven by Johnny Sauter and the No. 13 Mattei Air Compressor Toyota Tundra for Todd Bodine in the Truck Series and the No. 44 Ansell/Menards Toyota Camry driven by Frank Kimmel in the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards.

Daytona Beach, Fla. (Febuary 15, 2013) – John Wes Townley earned his first career Menards Pole Award in the ARCA Racing Series, leading a front row sweep for Venturini Motorsports with a qualifying lap of 49.638 seconds (181.313 mph) at Daytona International Speedway.

 Townley (No. 15 Zaxby’s Toyota) edged teammate Milka Duno (No. 35 CanTV/Milka Way Toyota), who completed a lap at 180.505 mph for the second position.

“I’m so excited,” Townley said. “It’s great for Venturini Motorsports, and certainly great for Zaxby’s. Tomorrow’s going to be the day that really counts, but it means a lot to be able to come here and get the pole. We just need to come out tomorrow and back it up. The car is working very well in the draft too, so I think it’ll hold up very well in the race.”

Townley’s position up front will give him an excellent chance to improve on his best career finishes, both of which came at the 2.5-mile superspeedway with the Venturini team. He finished fourth in 2009 before a third-place finish the next year.

Duno, who has made 26 ARCA starts but will make her first with Venturini, will start tomorrow’s race on the front row in 2nd.

“This is wonderful,” she said. “I now have the tools and the right people around me. This is my first race with Venturini Motorsports, and we’re going to do a super job in the race tomorrow.”

Venturini Motorsports, which last year celebrated its 30th year of competition, has won 26 races across four decades but has never won at Daytona.

Darrell Wallace Jr. (No. 55 Toyota Manufacturing Toyota) gave Venturini three of the top four cars by qualifying fourth, and Justin Boston (No. 25 ZLOOP™ Computer & Electronics Recycling Toyota) qualified 13th. Both drivers will be making ARCA debuts with Venturini.

A final practice at 10 a.m. Saturday will precede the 80-lap Lucas Oil 200 presented by MAVTV American Real – ARCA’s 50th race at Daytona – which will air live on SPEED at 4:30 p.m.

Shelby Township, Mich.—Feb. 15, 2013 — Florida, February and racing have gone hand-in-hand for decades, as racers escape the cold and snow of others parts of the country to open their season in the “Sunshine State.” For the first time in her career, Taylor Ferns will have the chance to be part of the Speedweeks activities as she heads to Florida to compete in a pair of events with the USAC National Midget Series.

The opening two races of the pavement portion of the 2013 USAC National Midget Series season are set for Sunday, February 17 andMonday, February 18 at New Smyrna Speedway, a high-banked, half-mile in New Smyrna Beach, Fla.

“It’s going to be great to get back in the race car,” said Ferns. “It’s been quite a while since I’ve last raced in the Chili Bowl. To be able to race a midget at New Smyrna is going to be a lot of fun. I’ve been watching some videos online of races from there to get a good feel for it.”

While the 2011 USAC D1 Midget Series champion will be making her first start in a midget at New Smyrna, she has turned some laps at the track previously. Ferns tested a late model at the half-mile last year. Also, when she was younger, she raced on the quarter-midget track, which is located on the inside of the half-mile at New Smyrna.

“It certainly helps having been to a track before, because you go in having a feel for the track and kind of know the rhythm of it,” she explained. “The laps in a late model should translate into the midget and give us a good baseline to start at. Having back-to-back races on Sunday and Monday will be a plus as well. You can try a few things on the first night and use what worked best then on the second night.”

Ferns, who is the winningest female driver in USAC history, scored her best-career USAC National Midget Series finish last season in a pavement event at Plymouth Speedway in Indiana, coming home ninth, after a career-best qualifying effort of third. She raced seven times on paved tracks last season with the USAC National Midget Series, pulling double duty in three of those events, also competing with the USAC Traxxas Silver Crown Series, finishing among the top-10 in her debut with that series. In addition, Ferns made four starts in a pavement late model with the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour, also recording a top-10 finish in her first-ever start in a stock car.

“Starting position is always important in the pavement races, especially when there is a very strong field of cars expected like at New Smyrna,” Ferns noted. “You always want to qualify well so that you can get a good starting position in the main event and you don’t have to spend as much time passing cars to get to the front.”

Ferns, who has signed with Venturini Motorsports to compete in seven ARCA races this season, turned some laps in Florida at the end of last year prior to the holidays, testing an ARCA car at the famed Daytona International Speedway. She also turned some laps in Florida at the end of the 2011 season in a USF2000 car as part of the Mazda Road to Indy Scouting Combine. The two-night event at New Smyrna Speedway will mark her first race laps in a full-sized race car in the state of Florida.

A total of eight races will comprise the USAC National Pavement Midget Championship this season beginning at New Smyrna, while 22 dates are tentatively scheduled for the USAC National Dirt Midget Championship. Ferns is scheduled to compete in a majority of those events aboard her family-owned No. 55 Dea Eyewear Beast on the pavement and Spike on the dirt, with a Stanton Mopar engine under the hood.

“I haven’t raced a pavement midget since last summer, so being consistent and running up front is the main goal at New Smyrna,” said Ferns. “Having fun in the race car is important as well. I am so competitive that sometimes I forget to have fun and when you are having fun in the race car, you usually do better as well. If we can get a couple of top-fives, it would be a great start to the season for us.”

New Castle, Ind.—Feb. 15, 2013— When it was announced that the USAC National Midget Series would open the 2013 season in Florida, Tracy Hines was pretty excited. He was already headed to the “Sunshine State” with his sprint car, so getting to race two more times in a midget and open both the sprint car and midget season at the same time offers the perfect way to kick-off the outdoor portion of his 2013 season.

Hines will take to the track at New Smyrna Speedway on Sunday, Feb. 17 and Monday, Feb. 18, aboard the No. 24 Parker Machinery/Powered by Toyota Spike, in what will be the first visit by any USAC series to the high-banked, half-mile oval. It will mark the sixth track in Florida (pavement and dirt) that he has raced at during his career.

“It will definitely feel good to unload the car and get started in Florida,” said Hines. “We had a pretty strong season last year in the midget and improved on some areas in the winter to get a little bit better for 2013. The competition will be tough as always this year and it’s our goal to be fast right off the truck and be in contention.”

Hines last competed in a midget on pavement in Florida in 2006, finishing second in a special non-points event that the USAC National Midget Series ran in conjunction with the PRI Trade Show at Orlando Speedworld Speedway. In the companion event for the USAC Amsoil National Sprint Car Series at the three-eighths-miles that same night, he also finished second.

“Last time I ran a midget in Florida, I came pretty close to winning, so it would be great to pick up a win to start the season this year,” he shared. “To have the midgets getting to open the season in Florida this year is great and that makes the next race in the Midwest seem not quite as far away, like it has in the past after racing in the Chili Bowl in early January. It will be a good test for us in Florida to see how we stack up for the rest of the year.”

The native of New Castle, Ind., has one career USAC win in the state of Florida, with that coming at Homestead-Miami Speedway in a Traxxas Silver Crown Series event in 2007. The veteran driver raced at the now-defunct USA International Speedway in Lakeland in an open wheel car in 2006. In addition, Hines made four starts at the famed Daytona International Speedway between 2004-2006 in both the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and NASCAR Nationwide Series.

Hines earned four wins and recorded 12 Top-10 finishes with the USAC National Midget Series last season en route to a second-place finish in points. He was victorious twice on the pavement at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis, while also picking up wins on the dirt at Dodge City Raceway Park in Kansas and Tri-City Speedway in Illinois.

“All in all, the car was pretty good at most of the races last season,” he shared. “We won a few races, though you always want to win more and you tend to remember the ones you probably should have won and didn’t. We worked very hard during the off-season, improving on some things and I’m excited to get on the track at New Smyrna to see all of those long hours come to fruition.”

The veteran driver enters the season with 32 career USAC National Midget Series wins, which is sixth on the all-time series win list. He has won at seven tracks that are on the 2013 schedule, with five of those being on the dirt and two on pavement.

Hines opened his 2013 season last month in the Chili Bowl Nationals in Tulsa, Okla., finishing fifth in a preliminary feature on the third of four qualifying nights, as well as coming home ninth in the Race of Champions on the opening night of the event, finishing eighth. His week ended with some bad luck in the second B-main on the final night of the famed event.

The USAC National Midget Series will contest separate pavement and dirt championships this season. Currently, eight races are scheduled for the pavement series and 22 for the dirt series, and Hines will compete in all of them. He also will contest the full USAC Amsoil National Sprint Car Series schedule this year and the entire USAC Traxxas Silver Crown Series calendar. He is a former titlist in both the USAC Traxxas Silver Crown Series and the USAC Amsoil National Sprint Car Series.

“We definitely have the bar placed high after last season in the midget,” said Hines. “The midget title is the one USAC title that I haven’t won yet, and it would be great to win it. We’re going to give it our all and starting off on the right foot in Florida is a big key to that.”

Tracy Hines Racing would like to thank: Parker Machinery, Powered by Toyota, Turbines, Inc., Afco Racing Shocks, Schoenfeld, Stanton Racing Engines, Daum Motorsport, Indiana Underground, Hoosier, Bell and Drivin Racing Oil.

Daytona Beach, Fla. (Febuary 13, 2013) – Justin Boston nearly had the chance to make his ARCA debut four seasons ago, but feels far more mature and ready now with Saturday’s season opener from Daytona International Speedway on the immediate horizon.

At 23, Boston is older than many drivers who enter the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards with higher aspirations. However, the rookie driver from Baltimore is no less excited, especially after a strong performance in Venturini Motorsports’ No. 25 Toyota in December open testing on the superspeedway.

“To make my first ARCA start at Daytona is going to be one of those special moments in my career,” Boston said. “Everyone’s dream is to go run Daytona. You feel like you’ve made something of yourself in your racing career when you get that opportunity, not to mention a full season with Venturini. It’s really an honor to carry the 25 car banner and get to run their house car. With that said, I didn’t have a ride for the past two and a half years, so it’s been a huge blessing to be able to run this ARCA car for a full season.

“Coming out of the box that fast and knowing you’re in the best ride made the test go that much easier. It was a really good test for everybody. We have amazing power with Joe Gibbs engines, so I think we’ll have even more speed going down than we left with.”

With sponsorship from ZLOOP Computers & Electronic Recycling Centers, Boston finished that testing weekend second of 61 drivers to turn laps. His best lap of 48.871 seconds, or 184.158 mph, was less than 0.01 second from the top spot. He also completely led the first day of on-track action, showcasing the usual display of Venturini power on one of ARCA’s largest tracks.

While many drivers break into the series in their teens and hit Daytona’s high banks at 18, Boston knows his situation is different. Still relatively youthful, Boston feels that added maturity is on his side, and should make him a contender to win Saturday and be a fixture in the 2013 championship hunt.

Boston nearly raced in ARCA in 2009 and even tested at Daytona back then, but he ultimately took a ride in the Rev-Oil Pro Cup Series. There, he earned four top-10s in six starts. Now, Boston is prepared for the same consistency and even more success with Venturini Motorsports.

“I’ve matured greatly over the last four years in how I handle my life. This couldn’t have come at a better time in my life, where I’m at. I think my maturity will overcome, and give me an upper hand on some of the younger kids in ARCA.”.

Crew chief Keith Hinkein will lead Boston’s effort this weekend. Hinkein and team competition director Billy Venturini have been instrumental in Boston’s maturity, the driver said.

“I’m really looking forward to working with Keith,” he said. “He and I have gotten to know each other and we get along really well. I’m looking forward to working with him and I think we’ll really get the best out of each other this year. Billy really is the total package as far as a mentor, especially at the level I’m at now. He can diagnose what you’re doing wrong on the race track and then tell you what you need to do, and he can do that on the business side at the same time. To have him give me good advice is going to help further my career and my abilities this year.”

Practice for Saturday’s Lucas Oil 200 presented by MAVTV American Real will take place Thursday from 1-5 p.m. Menards Pole Qualifying presented by Ansell will follow Friday, starting at 2 p.m. A final practice at10 a.m. Saturday will precede the 80-lap, 200-mile race – ARCA’s 50th at Daytona – which will air live on SPEED at 4:30 p.m.
