By Clayton Johns (@cjohnsmedia) – Reigning Lucas Oil Canadian Vintage Modified champion Shane Stickel has announced he is joining the OSCAAR Modified tour for the 2013 season.

The Kitchener, ON native will be sporting his familiar #39 aboard a Troyer Chassis purchased from NASCAR Whelen Modified driver Rob McCormick out of Calverton, NY. Stickel’s campaign will be supported by MSD Machine Tool, Speedway Photo.ca, Shelane Properties, Paragon Collision Centre, MAC Contracting, Jungle Cat Designs, Huron Fasteners Inc., Creative Edge, and Abtech CAD/CAM.

The 23 year-old is excited to make the transition to a higher horsepower open-wheel car under OSCAAR sanctioning, and felt the timing was right for the jump.

“It’s still a new series and I don’t want to fall too far behind the guys that have started to race in it,” said Stickel.

Like any driver making a move to a new series, Stickel is expecting a host of challenges to go along with his new car. He believes the hardest part of the transition will be getting the car to perform up to his competitive standards.

“The Vintage modifieds are a way different car from a setup stand point,” said Stickel. “I have no experience with the kind of suspension components that are on an OSCAAR Modified. That’s going to be a huge learning curve on its own.”

Nonetheless, Stickel feels he may have an advantage over other newcomers to the series from full-bodied cars.

“The open-wheel experience (will help). I’ve only raced ovals for three years. Compared to a lot of the drivers out there, I’m still pretty new,” explained Stickel. “I’ve learned a ton … being that it’s an open-wheel car, how to race guys clean. It’s probably a natural fit for me to move on to this series.”

The overall task of taking on a new car, new series, and new set of competition has Stickel itching to pilot his new machine. So much so, the multi-time Waterloo Regional Karting Club champion has a tough time narrowing it down.

“What am I not looking forward to is a better question,” laughed Stickel. “I’m really looking forward to the OSCAAR series. I’ve heard it’s a great club and full of great people. To try and race a new car, that’s always exciting.”

Stickel is currently preparing to battle for a rookie-of-the-year title, one that will be nothing short of intense as more drivers continuously throw their name in the hat. Given Stickel picked up his ride late in the off-season, he cautions race fans not to panic if he is absent on opening day.

“To convert a chassis from the States takes a ton of work,” said Stickel. “I don’t know if I’ll be out for the first race, that’s still up in the air.”

Stickel intends to run a familiar vibrant paint scheme, similar to what he has run on his Vintage Modified for the previous three seasons.

“I’m a pretty meticulous guy. I like to keep my equipment nice,” said Stickel. “If anything, that’s why I might be a little bit late getting in. I don’t want to run something I’ve half-ass put together. I definitely want to do it right.”

For a driver in his early twenties, OSCAAR’s young core of drivers were among the factors considered in his search for a new racing home.

“I was the youngest person in the vintage modifieds,” said Stickel. “To see a series like this with a lot of people around my age, that can only mean things like friendship and getting along better at the track. I did miss that from go-karting.”

Despite the time constraints, Stickel will make every effort to be at Sunset Speedway for opening day on May 19. Sunset quickly became one of Stickel’s favourite tracks on the Vintage Modified tour and he hopes the success will translate to OSCAAR.

Turner Scott Motorsports NASCAR K&N Pro Series East News & Notes: Bristol Motor Speedway

Welcome to the Series…Turner Scott Motorsports (TSM), which currently houses three full-time NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) and three full-time NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) teams, will expand their operation to include three full-time and two part-time entries in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East (NKNPSE) ranks for the 2013 season.

First NKNPSE Starts…Turner Scott Motorsports and Austin Dyne, Ben Rhodes and Kenzie Ruston will all be making their first start in the NKNPSE at Bristol Motor Speedway (BMS) this coming weekend.

Austin Dyne…In 2012, Dyne earned two top-fives and eight top-10s in his rookie season in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West (NKNPSW). With one less start than his closest competitor, Dyne’s strong effort allowed him to capture the Sunoco Rookie of the Year award by one point.

“I am really thrilled to be racing for a championship-caliber organization like Turner Scott Motorsports,” said Dyne. “I’m looking forward to kicking off the season at Bristol; I’ve only seen it on TV, but I am confident that we can get a good handle on the track and come out with a strong showing.”

Ben Rhodes… After his first full season of Late Model racing, 16-year-old Louisville, Kentucky, native Ben Rhodes will compete in seven events for TSM in the NKNPSE in 2013 with plans to run for the Sunoco Rookie of the Year and the championship in 2014.

“The 2013 season will be a learning season for me in the series,” said Rhodes. “We are only racing seven events so I can maintain my rookie status for 2014, when we will race the entire series and see if we can get Rookie of the Year honors. I am excited for my debut with the team at Bristol Motor Speedway. It is close to my home state, and it is one of the most-exciting places to race in the country.”

Brandon Jones… Fifteen year old Brandon Jones, a sophomore at Mooresville (NC) High School, who drove in the UARA and PASS series in 2012 as well as having made his inaugural NKNPSE start will drive in four different series for TSM in 2013, including the full UARA season, seven NKNPSE races, two NCWTS events and selected NASCAR Late Model Stock races.

“I feel like we have a great chance to contend for a solid finish in the series’ first points race,” said Jones. “Cale [Gale] and the rest of the Rheem crew has worked really hard this off season to put together some great equipment and I would love to reward them with a solid start to the season.”

Dylan Kwasniewski…Dylan Kwasniewski, the 2012 NKNPSW Champion, will compete for a championship in the NKNPSE with TSM in 2013.Kwasniewski tallied two wins, two poles, eight top-fives and nine top-10s in the NKNPSW in 2011. Not to be outdone by his performance from the previous season, 2012 was one for the record books. Kwasniewski went on to record three wins, six poles, 12 top-fives and 15 top-10s en route to becoming the youngest champion in NKNPSW history.

“I am really ready to hit the track at Bristol,” said Kwasniewski. “My Turner Scott Motorsports team is strong, and I know we have what it takes to have a very successful year together. Hopefully we got all of our bad luck out of the way in Daytona, and we can go out and contend for the win in our first points race of the season.”

Kenzie Ruston…A Super Late Model stand out, Ruston will move up to compete full time in the NKNPSE with TSM in 2013. In the 19 events in which she competed in 2012, Ruston scored six top-five and 12 top-10 finishes and was voted Speed51.com’s National Short Track Most Popular Driver, the first female to win the award since its establishment six years ago.

“I’m just glad the season is finally here,” said Ruston. “I’ve been looking forward to turning some laps at Bristol’s high-banks. My goal for this weekend is to keep the car clean for all 125 laps and be in contention at the end of the race.”

Kevin Cornelius and KDR Motorsports would like you to join us at the 2013 Mega Speed Custom Car and Truck Show as the No. 17 Halton Crushed Stone Lee Sand and Gravel, Hanson Concrete Products, Sandbox Tech Child Care, Alliston Transmission, Ed’s Automotive, Triple Concrete and MacMaster Buick GMC Orangeville OSCAAR Super Late Model will be on display.

The car will be on display in the OSCAAR booth, joined by fellow Super Late Model competitor Rob Poole and OSCAAR Modified rookie Bobby Tolton.

The 2013 Mega Speed Custom Car and Truck Show will be taking place at the International Centre from March 21^st to 23^rd. Information, including tickets, can be found at the show’s website – .

For the 2013 season, Cornelius will be moving up to the OSCAAR ranks from the Limited Late Model ranks to compete for Rookie of the Year.

“Really excited about the 2013 race season,” the Orangeville, Ontario native said back in December. “I would have to go back to 1996 when I was in my first race at Sauble Speedway to compare the excitement. Really looking forward to racing in what I consider to be one of the top series in Ontario with the toughest competition with guys like Glenn and Brandon Watson , George Wilson , Derek Tiemersma , Rob Clarke, Rob Poole and the list goes on.

“I think OSCAAR is on the verge of getting real big and that Dave (Gainforth) and the group are heading in the right direction.

As announced previously in December, Cornelius will be piloting a McColl Racing Enterprises chassis. It marks the first M.R.E OSCAAR built chassis.

KDR Motorsports would like to thank Fierce Wraps for wrapping the car. You can check out the Fierce Wraps website at http://www.fiercewraps.com.

New Castle, Ind.—March 11, 2013— Indoor midget racing takes a combination of two very important elements to be in contention for wins. First, a fast car and second, a little bit of luck. Tracy Hines had both of those at various times this past weekend as he took to the track at the Cedar Lake Arena in New Richmond, Wisc., for the Sasquatch Indoor Nationals presented by Jack Link’s Beef Jerky, which served as the season opening two races for the Stark Automotive Group/Mid-State Equipment Badger Midget Series. When the checkered flag flew, he crossed the line second in the final feature, after coming home seventh on the opening night.

The finale of the two-day event was run in the afternoon on Sunday, March 10 and found Hines starting ninth on the grid for the 30-lap main event aboard the No. 75 Speed Quip Motorsports Chevrolet-powered Phantom. The race started with accidents that brought out the yellow flag twice before a single lap was completed, necessitating a pair of complete restarts.

On the third attempt at the start, Hines found himself in fourth. He would move into third on the seventh circuit, getting around David Gough. The veteran driver would move into second on lap-23, getting by early race leader Brad Kuhn. Hines battled lapped traffic late in the race as he tried to track down eventual winner Danny Stratton. He would cross the line in the runner-up position. Hines began the afternoon by finishing second in the second 10-lap heat race.

“It was an eventful start to the race to say the least,” said Hines. “That all helped us a bit and I was able to get a pretty good start the third time and run up front. It took a little too long to get into second and we just didn’t have enough time after that. It was a fun weekend and I really have to thank Roger and Lara Miller for letting me drive their car.”

Hines opened the two-day event at the Cedar Lake Arena on Saturday, March 9 with a seventh-place finish in the 30-lap main event. The native of New Castle, Ind., lined up sixth for the race, which featured numerous drivers that are veterans of indoor midget events. A number of cautions dotted the main event, including one that turned into a red flag with 10 laps to-go that brought the field to a stop to improve air conditions inside the Cedar Lake Arena. The night opened for Hines with a second-place finish in the fourth 10-lap heat race.

“That was a pretty demanding race out there,” noted Hines. “As is the case most time with indoors races, it was pretty challenging to get around people and you really had to set up your passes a couple laps before. We learned a few things on the first night that really helped us on Sunday.”

Hines returns to action on Saturday, April 6 at Lawrenceburg Speedway in Indiana with the USAC Amsoil National Sprint Car Series. He is currently third in points with the series, just seven markers out of the top spot, after a pair of wins in Florida last month to open the season. Hines will make his next start in a midget the following weekend, April 12–13 at Kokomo Speedway as part of the inaugural Kokomo Grand Prix for the USAC National Midget Series.

“With how strong we ended the trip to Florida, I can’t wait to get back in the sprint car in a few weeks,” he stated. “Then it’s just one week after that and we are at Kokomo in the midget. It’s almost that time and I’m ready. We’ve been working hard in the shop and have everything ready to go.”

Watertown, Conn.—March 10, 2013 — David Gravel had never seen the Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway until last Wednesday when he arrived at the half-mile for the first of two nights of racing at the state-of-the-art half-mile. Likewise, he had never been to Tucson International Raceway in Arizona. On top of that, the native of Watertown, Conn., had never sat in Bill Rose’s No. 6 car until he arrived the afternoon of the Las Vegas opener. None of that mattered though, as the 20-year-old quickly got up to speed in his first pair of races filling in for the injured driver, earning a season-best fourth-place finish on the second night of the “Sin City Showdown” and followed that up with an eighth-place showing at Tucson International Raceway.

“For being in the car for the first time it was a great three races,” said Gravel. “It’s exciting to know that we can be competitive in another car. I’m looking forward to continuing next weekend at Tulare (Thunderbowl Raceway). I’m still learning things about the car each time I’m on the track and feel more comfortable every time I climb behind the wheel. We’re only going to get keep getting better.”

Gravel began the finale of the two-night event at Las Vegas on Thursday, March 7, by turning the 15th-fastest lap in time trials, aboard Rose’s Fire Text Response Maxim, which put him on the pole of the third eight-lap heat race. He finished second in that contest to earn a spot in the dash. Gravel would come home sixth in the dash and lined up on the outside of the third row for the 30-lap main event.

The East Coast racer used a strong start to move up a spot at the start of the A-Feature. He was running fifth when the first caution flag of the night flew on the fifth lap. A long 20-lap green flag stretch of racing followed with Gravel remaining in fifth for most of those laps. The final caution flag of the night came out on lap-25. He restarted sixth and got around Wayne Johnson and Donny Schatz to move into fourth and would cross the finish line in that same position.

“The track really suited my style and our set-up in Las Vegas,” he shared. “The track was a little one groove and I went where people weren’t and was able to pass a bunch of cars. We had a really good car the first night, but our results didn’t show it, due to some bad luck. We definitely showed what we were capable of on the second night.”

Gravel earned his second consecutive top-10 finish on Saturday, March 9 in the Wildcat Shootout Presented by NAPA Auto Parts at Tucson International Raceway. He lined up 16th and quickly began moving forward. He broke into the top-10 on the sixth-lap and by the halfway point of the 30-lap contest found himself in eighth. At one point, he passed three-time World of Outlaws champion Sammy Swindell, Jason Sides, who is currently second in points, and five-time series titlist Donny Schatz on consecutive laps. In his debut at Tucson, Gravel was 16th in time trials, which put him sixth in the first eight-lap heat race in the three heat program. He finished sixth in that race to transfer to the 30-lap main event where he finished eighth.

“Most of the guys were running the bottom at Tucson and I was running the top and able to get by a lot of them,” Gravel noted. “The outside was really working for me most of the race, though I did lose a couple spots at the end. For my first time at the track I was pleased and it gives us some good momentum heading into next weekend.”

Gravel began the West Coast swing in Las Vegas with a 13th-place finish on Wednesday, March 6, battling a bent front axle and broken shock in the main event. He lined up 17th and was up to 11th by just the eighth lap. He timed in 17th on the night, missing the heat race inversion by just one spot. After finishing seventh in the first heat race, he would race his way into the A-Feature via the B-main, where he came home second.

Gravel will continue to fill in for Rose this coming weekend at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Calif., which will mark his first-ever racing trip to the Golden State. Gravel, who is contending for the 2013 World of Outlaws Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year Award, is currently tied for ninth in points, just 38 markers out of the top-five.

Bloomington, Ind.—March 10, 2013— Every night of racing with the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series is a learning experience, no matter how many years a driver has been on the road. With a new tire this year, Kraig Kinser and his team are taking in everything they can as work to find the right balance and combination on the race car. They learned quite a bit during the opening three races of the West Coast swing and capped off the first week of that trip with a ninth-place finish at Tucson International Raceway in Arizona in the Wildcat Shootout Presented by NAPA Auto Parts.

Kinser lined up 14th for the 30-lap main event at Tucson on Saturday, March 9 aboard the Casey’s General Store/Mesilla Valley Transportation Maxim and steadily worked his way forward, moving into the top-10 by the 10th circuit. The race was slowed by three cautions, including one on the initial start that led to a complete restart. An open red flag period gave teams a chance to work on their machines as well during the A-Feature. The ninth-place finish was Kinser’s third top-10 showing of the season and moved him up to seventh in the series standings.

“The track was very fast on Saturday night and you really had to pick and choose your spots to make passes,” said Kinser. “We made some good changes to the car over the course of the night and were pretty good in the feature. We didn’t quite start the West Coast swing how we were hoping at Las Vegas, but we’ll keep working hard and moving forward and have plenty of races left.”

Kinser kicked off the two-night event at Las Vegas on Wednesday, March 6 with an 18th-place finish, after being involved in a couple of cautions. He was caught up by a spinning car on the ninth lap and then had a flat tire on lap-18 that forced him to the work area. Kinser opened the night by turning the seventh-fastest lap in time trials of the 40 drivers in attendance. He finished third in the third eight-lap heat race to earn a spot in the 30-lap A-Feature.

In the finale at Las Vegas on Thursday, March 7, the native of Bloomington, Ind., finished 19th after suffering a broken U-joint early in the night. He timed in 23rd-fastest and was slated to line up sixth in the second eight-lap heat race, but was unable to start that event, which put him in the B-main. Kinser started fifth in the B-main and finished fourth to earn a spot in the 30-lap main event.

“We battled both nights in Las Vegas and that’s all you can do on nights like that when you have a bunch of bad luck,” Kinser shared. “Racing 90 times a year, you are bound to have a few nights like that here and there and you just have to make the most out of it, salvage what finish you can and move on. You can’t dwell on nights like that.”

After the first six races of the 2013 season, Kinser is seventh in the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series standings, just 28 markers out of the top-five. He has three top-10 finishes, including a season-best third-place finish on the second night of the season at Volusia Speedway Park in Florida. Kinser returns to action next weekend at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Calif., for a two-night event as the World of Outlaws continue their early season West Coast swing.

“We have a few days now to get ready for Tulare and will keep tweaking and fine-tuning the car,” Kinser noted. “I’ve always enjoyed racing at Tulare and there are some great fans out there. Hopefully Mother Nature continues to cooperate and we can get all the races in. When you are just racing on the weekends, once or twice a week, you have to be on the track to stay in a rhythm.”

Concord, NC (March 10, 2013) – On the heels of their dramatic ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards season opening victory at Daytona, Venturini Motorsports (VMS) shifted gears and turned their attention to short track racing this weekend at Mobile International Speedway.

Saturday’s VMS entry list for the ARCA Mobile 200 consisted of ARCA championship contender, Justin Boston, Venezuelan native, Milka Duno and a pair of teenagers making their ARCA debuts, 15 year-old Kyle Benjamin and 17 year-old Taylor Ferns.

Kyle Benjamin, a native of Easley, S.C., has caught the attention of the racing world with performances well beyond his 15 years.

Living up to the pre-race hype, Benjamin delivered the goods.

Driving his No.15 “The Truth Band” sponsored Chevrolet; Benjamin showcased his raw talent and battled veteran drivers, en-route to a second-place finish in his highly anticipated ARCA debut.

“What an experience to come here in the ARCA car and accomplish what we did in our first race out,” said Benjamin. “Venturinis gave me a great car and the team worked hard all weekend. They did a great job and Kevin (Reed) made great calls on the pit box. We had an almost flawless day.”

Benjamin, who qualified fourth, battled race winner, Grant Enfinger for the top spot leading a total of 26-laps during the race. Benjamin’s second-place finish earned him SCOTT Rookie Challenge honors for the ARCA Mobile 200.

Coming off a near perfect showing with four wins and seven fast-time awards in his Super Late Model last month at the World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing at New Smyrna Speedway, Benjamin made more headlines this weekend by becoming the youngest competitor in the 61 years of ARCA racing.

Benjamin, driving part-time for VMS in 2013 will make his next start at Salem Speedway on April 28th.

23-year old driver, Justin Boston, driving the No.25 ZLOOP Computer & Electronics Recycling Toyota rebounded nicely from a disappointing 31st place finish at Daytona with a solid sixth place finish at Mobile.

“Today’s race is exactly what we needed after our Daytona finish. Rebounding and getting a solid finish under our belt was important for this year’s championship run,” said Boston.

Justin Boston, a native of Baltimore, Maryland is focused on a full season effort in the ARCA series.

Qualifying ninth, Boston kept his sleek looking ZLOOP Toyota in the top-10 the entire day. With a limited stock-car racing resume the former motocross racer continues to impress his new team and adjust to his new surroundings within his 3,400 lb. stock car.

“The car was good all day long and I think we’ll be even better when we bring the car back to the track. Can’t thank ZLOOP and VMS enough for giving me the opportunity to represent them both. I plan on doing my part with strong finishes for all their hard work.”

Boston looks to build on his recent success and carry it over to the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East this weekend where he’ll be fielding the No.25 VMS entry at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Another impressive debut was turned in by Shelby, Michigan’s, Taylor Ferns. Ferns, the all-time leading feature winner among women in United States Automobile Club (USAC) history made a strong impression with her solid 10th place finish.

With her sights set on a top-5 finish, Ferns was running in the 6th position with 12 laps to go before a hard charging car spun her going into turn one. Keeping her composure, Ferns got back in line to salvage her inspiring ARCA debut.

“My first ARCA race…that was awesome,” said the energetic Ferns. “I had a great car and learned a bunch from the guys on the team, especially my chief, Kevin Caldwell. I’ve still got a lot to learn as I’m transitioning from open-wheel to stock cars. I’m not use to shifting on the restarts, so I definitely need to work on that part, but overall, a great day for our team.”

Ferns, who qualified fifth, drove an impressive race behind the wheel of her No.55 Motor City Auto Transport Toyota. Following suit with teammates Benjamin and Boston, Ferns showed consistency and proved she’ll be a driver the ARCA field will have to contend with every time she hits the track.

Ferns, the 2011 USAC Mopar D1 Midget Champion, is scheduled to make six more starts in the ARCA Racing Series this year, with entries at Toledo, Elko, and Iowa Speedways. She will also race at larger tracks such as Pocono Raceway and Kentucky Speedway, and compete in the Labor Day dirt race at the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds.

Caracas, Venezuela driver, Milka Duno who signed on with VMS during the off-season made her return to Mobile this weekend driving her No.35 CANTV/Milka Way Chevrolet.

Coming off her career best qualifying effort at Daytona (outside pole position), Milka Duno drove a solid race Saturday afternoon taking the checkered flag in the 14th position, giving VMS four top-15 finishes in the 200-lap event.

Duno, who qualified 17th for the ARCA Mobile 200 consistently picked up speed throughout the day gaining valuable short track experience which will undoubtedly provide more confidence going into ARCA’s next event at Salem Speedway on April 28th.

With nearly a month off before the next scheduled ARCA event Venturini Motorsports looks ahead to next weekend where they’ll be pulling double duty at Bristol Motor Speedway, fielding Justin Boston in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East event and making their team debut in the NASCAR Nationwide Series with Daytona winner, John Wes Townley behind the wheel of the No.25 Zaxby’s Toyota.
