Skyline Points Finalized for Release
Banquet Details to Come
STEWART, OHIO-In a year that saw an economy in dire straits, Skyline Speedway in
Stewart, Ohio persevered for another successful season of racing. Plans for the
banquet--to be held November 19-- will be released soon.
Although this release is one year removed from the last season finale, the
results were the same in the Sprint and Late Model Divisions which saw Jimmy
Stinson, Vandalia, Ohio capture the 410 Sprint championship with owner Billy
Jarrell and Chris Garnes, Evans, WV repeating in the AMRA Late Models. Andy Bond
returned to championship form in the AMRA Modifieds, while Tommy Adkins captured
the Four-Cylinders in a repeat performance, and Frankie Hall claimed the
Semi-Late Crate Championship. R.D. Jones, St. Albans, was the high-point Mod
Lite driver and Cole Mayle captured the Mini-Wedge title in 2011.
Overall, 355 cars competed at the Speedway. In times of economic recovery this
was a huge plus. At least three tracks in Ohio closed in 2011; however, Skyline
was one of a few to hold its own with large car counts and great racing.
Reportedly, 43 local dirt tracks nationwide closed or sat idle in 2011. "Support
your home track or tracks" is the battle cry that area drivers, promoters, and
fans will carry in to the 2012 race season. "Without the fan and car support,
the races cannot go on". Southeastern Ohio-Northern West Virginia fans were
supportive of the racing at all Tri-State tracks.
Of the 355 cars that earned points throughout the year, the AMRA late models led
with 94 cars overall, while the sprints tallied 41 and the AMRA Modifieds 86.
The sprint title went right down to the wire after points leader Jimmy Stinson
flipped on championship night. Stinson narrowly defeated Aaron Higgins 711 to
693 with Josh Davis in third 665, Dave Dickson fourth with 657, and Brian Benson
533.
In the Late Models Chris Garnes again claimed victory with a 744 to 614 pad over
runner-up Ralph Withem. Chris Carpenter had 578, Larry Bond 575, and Andy Bond
574 to round out the top five.
With Skyline, Beckley and Elkins a trio of only a very few tracks running for
AMRA points on Fridays, Skyline reaped the benefits of having a good location to
draw drivers chasing AMRA points in both the Late Model and Modified divisions.
The Semi-Late Crate division began to bloom at the end of the season. Although
some drivers switched from Late Model to Semi-Late Crates, an influx of new
blood came into the pits as a result of the change.
Skyline Speedway would like to invite all drivers to the upcoming banquet on
November 19. See a future release and details on the website at
www.skylinespeedway.net for further details.
Congratulations and continued good luck to all drivers and fans, especially
drivers earning championships. From the folks at Skyline Speedway, "Good Luck in
the off season and we will see you next spring" with bigger and better things to
come.
Following is a list of all drivers earning points:

Racing is ON for today. We are pushing the
start time to 4 p.m. with practice at 3 p.m. to provide a little more time for
our southern fans and teams the opportunity to travel north. With only 3
divisions it won't be a long show. We realize people work on Monday.
We know that there is devastation to the south with trees down and power out in
many areas. We are in a tough spot but want to give the teams a chance to race
for the RoC Championship. The track will not be any issue at all. It was sealed
and packed tight prior to the precipitation.
Our forecast for today is sunny with temps. near 50.

Mike Marlar Finishes 5th at Fall Classic; Cotton Pickin' 100 Next
Winfield, Tennessee (10/26/11) – In what has been tabbed one of the best races
of the year thus far, Mike Marlar led on several different occasions before
recording a fifth place finish last weekend in his #5 Bryson
Motorsports/Rocket/Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model in the 17th Annual
Coors Light Fall Classic.
The team traveled south to Whynot Motorsports Park (Meridian, Mississippi) over
the weekend for the 17th Annual Coors Light Fall Classic. With a talented field
of 60 Super Late Models entered, Mike would blaze to the fastest time in his
group and overall in qualifications with a lap of 13.014 seconds around the 1/3
mile oval. As a result, he earned the pole starting position for his heat race,
and he would storm to the heat race win to lock into the pole starting spot for
the 100 lap, $15,000-to-win finale.
On Saturday night Marlar would be joined on the front row by Klint Byars, and as
the race went green Byars would bolt to the lead with Marlar in tow. Marlar
would pursue Byars until lap 21 when he drove past him for the lead. Over the
next several laps Marlar and Sullivan would battle for the top spot as Bub
McCool was also in the fold. Marlar would continue to lead as the field passed
the halfway point, but five laps later Jonathan Davenport would slip past him
for the top spot. Over the remainder of the event Marlar would battle in the top
five before recording a fifth place finish behind race winner, Davenport, Dennis
Erb Jr., Brian Birkhofer, and Jared Landers. Full results are available at
www.WhynotMotorsportsPark.com.
This weekend, October 27th-29th, the team will once again travel to Mississippi
as they take part in the 8th Annual Southern Belle Cotton Pickin' 100 at
Magnolia Motor Speedway (Columbus, Mississippi). An Open Practice Session will
be held on Thursday night, and on Friday night time trials and heat race action

Still time to Exhibit!!
National Parts Peddler Trade Show
Nov. 18, 19 & 20
New York State Fairgrounds
SYRACUSE, NEW YORK
To: Motorsports Industry Professionals, Businesspeople, Entrepreneurs &
Enthusiasts:
Thirty-two years ago we opened the trade show and racers auction, designed for
small shops and racers with big dreams. It was the right recipe for the booming
times. Many of the most successful companies in our industry started at the
Parts Peddler Trade Show in Syracuse with a card table and chair. Individuals
with a passion to develop race cars and parts turned into successful careers.
We all know the motorsports industry has really changed and blossomed. Trade
shows and businesses have come and gone. Our Parts Peddler event took a curve a
few years ago from largely a race car auction and show to now 90 percent trade
show. We still offer a couple hours of feature race cars being sold through the
auction to keep the long tradition going. This year’s Parts Peddler show will
represent our 32nd consecutive year that we produced the enormously popular
event at the New York State Fairgrounds. We have continually thrived to
diversify the event to what it is today. It’s an excellent opportunity for any
company to reach both businesses and end users all at once.
When the recession started last year I noticed a few of the companies that said
they didn’t need trade shows or they did not want to deal directly with their
consumers. Some of them are now out of business.
As you know from your experience it’s a pleasure to do business with a firm that
keeps customer satisfaction at the top of their priority list. Making certain
that every one of your customers go home from the show with a positive feeling
about you and your product. I have found that this is an easy way for your
customers to turn into walking advertisements for your business.
Square foot-wise, for a three-day show with a history of over 32 years, our
exhibit space is one of the most economical in the country. Exhibitors enjoy a
no-hassle move in and out policy. We all fear what some venues charge exhibitors
for dock use, forklifts, pallet jacks, etc. It is common for companies to spend
as much money for extras as they pay for exhibit space. We try to eliminate this
problem.
There is still time to confirm your exhibit space for this year’s show… but
please act at once! We are only a few weeks away. You can expect one of our most
positive shows ever. Dollar for dollar spent, Syracuse has always been a great
value. If you want to stimulate sales in the Northeast, this is the place to be.
We’re looking forward to hearing from you and your participation in our 32nd
Annual National Parts Peddler Trade Show. Call me now at 315-699-7583 to take
advantage of what we have to offer.

Doug Bennett Wins Street Stock 50-lapper Miller’s Racing Parts Fall Classic at SSP on Saturday Night; Rodriguez and Stoll Jr. Also Claim Wins
Newberrytown, PA (October 22, 2011) – Doug Bennett of Chambersburg led all fifty laps of the Street Stock main event to earn $2,500 at the Susquehanna Speedway Park on Saturday night. The Street Stock feature was one of three divisions featured at the 8th Annual Miller’s Racing Parts Fall Classic presented in part with Insinger Performance Fuels. Dover’s J.R. Rodriguez took the lead from the start and never looked back to win the Xtreme Stock Car 40 lapper. Wellsville’s John Stoll Jr. won the 30-lap Four Cylinder Stock Car feature.
The 50-lap Street Stock feature event began with Friday’s Cash Dash Winner Bill Henney and Doug Bennett bringing the field to the green flag. Coming out of turn two after the green flag was displayed, the front runners were spun, collecting a total of nine cars. After the scene was cleared, all but two were able to continue. On the second restart, another accident occurred collecting another five cars. On the next double file restart, Bennett was the polesitter with Jed Latshaw on the outside front row. The third time proved to be the charm as Bennett quickly grabbed the lead, followed by Latshaw and Jim Palm Jr. The caution did not fly again until lap 14. A few more cautions bunched up the field, but at the end, Bennett claimed the feature win over Mike Zeigler Jr. Zeigler was the hard charger of the race, improving 22 spots from his 24th starting position. Dan Zechman got by Jed Latshaw to finish third. Latshaw ran a strong third for the entire race until the final lap when he slid high and finished eighth. Scott Thunberg and Jeff Haag rounded out the top five. Dan Zechman won the B-Main. Friday’s heat race wins went to Kory Sites; Bill Henney; Jeff Haag and Doug Bennett.
The 40 lapp Xtreme Stock Car race had Donnie Broderick and J.R. Rodriguez brought the field to the green with Rodriguez taking the lead. Rodriguez held steady with the lead throughout the lead, but the runner-up spot saw Broderick, Davey Nestor and Adam Smith all holding thet spot one time in the race. A rash of mid-race cautions slowed the field, but not Rodriguez as he went on to capture the win followed by Adam Smith at the end. Travis Horan made a late race run to finish third. Broderick settled for fourth with Ricky Bender rounding out the top five. Friday nigh heat race wins went to Nestor, Smith and Rodriguez. Rich Day won the B-Main. Adam Smith won the Cash Dash and Michael Goodwin won the Hard Charger award by starting 25th and finishing 8th.
In the 30-lap Four Cylinder Stock Car feature event, Mike Potts lead lap one until Brian Wentzel took the top spot on the next circuit. Wentzel led until lap seven when he was forced to retire from the race with engine problems. Leroy Long inherited the lead and held it for two laps when John Stoll Jr. blasted by on lap 10 and never looked behind to claim the feature win. Long settled for second, followed by Potts in third. Ronnie Buck and Steve Hastings finished fourth and fifth respectively. Heat race wins went to Potts, Wentzel and Ken Hill. Wentzel also won the Cash Dash.

BRACHMANN TOP COWBOY AT THE STEEL CITY STAMPEDE
For the second year in a row, the top cowboy at Lernerville Speedway's Steel
City Stempede hailed from New York. Chad Brachmann romped to the win in the
season finale for the BRP/Hoosier Tire Modified Tour.
"We really got our program together now," Brachmann said. That, sir, is an
understatement. Just one month ago, he shocked the Western Pennsylvania racing
scene by copping his first series win at Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Motor
Speedway with a potent 358 powerplant between the rails of his Bicknell chassis.
Then, back on familiar turf, he earned the final starting spot for the SEF 200
at Syracuse by winning at Rolling Wheels Raceway Park with the same car.
Brachmann figured that the odds would be in his favor in the 30 lapper. With
over 200 cars in competition, the track slicked off and Brachmann's mount had a
decided advantage.
The luck of the draw put Brian Swartzlander and Steve Feder on the front row of
the feature event. Swartzlander grabbed the lead at the start,
but Feder was under immediate attack from Rex King, Sr. King took second on lap
two, and he set out after the leader. However, the man on the move was Brachmann,
who advanced four spots in the first five laps of the race.
A brief stoppage for the flat left rear tire of former series champion Russell
King bunched the field up for Brachmann. Although Swartzlander got away with the
lead, Brachmann, King and Feder were three wide, fighting for positions behind
him.
Brachmann worked his way into second by lap ten, but King Sr. was not going away
easily. He rallied to regain second for a lap, but Brachann took second for good
on lap 12. Now it was his turn to press Swartzlander for the lead.
He used a powerfull outside move in turns three and four to grab the lead away
from Swartzlander with fifteen laps in the books. A few circuits later, King Sr.
slipped past Swartzlander.
Trucker Don Brown brought out the second caution of the race on lap 21.
Brachmann then employed a little strategy by taking the outside line. That
pinned King behind a lapped car for the restart. Predictably, Brachmann bolted
awy from the pack when the green was displayed
again.
King's bid for the win came to an end on lap 25, when he pulled to a stop in
turn one with a flat tire. He pitted for new rubber and completed just one more
lap before retiring with a broken power steering belt.
That put Swatrzlander beside Brachmann for the restart, but he was unable to
capitalize on the opportunity. Instead, it was Kevin Bolland who entered the
fray. Bolland had sarted in 16th spot and had quietly advanced through the
field. Bolland raced from fourth to second on lap 26.
While Brachmann continued to lead, there was now a furious battle for second
bewteen Bolland, Swartzlander and Jeremiah Shingledecker.
Another caution for Brown interrupted that action and set the stage for the most
dramatic moment of the race.
Brachmann again selected the outside for the restart, but Bolland got to line up
beside him. Coming down for the green, the cars were three wide, and track
officials called Bolland for jumping the restart. That put him back a row and
gave Swartzlander the second position again.
When the race went green again, Brachmann and Swartzlander pulled away, but
there was tight competition behind them. Bolland spun in turn two and collected
Shingledecker and Mike Turner. Bolland and Turner were able to rejoin the race,
but Shingledecker left the speedway on a hook.
The final two laps were completed without incident, but there was plenty of
positions changing hands.
Brachmann crossed the line 1.124 seconds ahead of Swartzlander. Dave Murdick
rallied for third, after being shuffled back in the field a few laps from the
end of the race. Rex King, Jr. and Kevin Hoffman completed the top five.
Jim Weller, Jr. led the next group across the stripe. He was followed by Brian
Weaver, Phil Evans, Jr., Bolland and Turner.
KIng Sr. finished a disappointing 23rd, but his heat race performance gave him
enough of a cushion that he was declared the champion unofficially before the
start of the race.
The Landrum Spring racer of the race award was conferred on Kevin Bolland for
his strong run from sixteenth to second before misfortune struck. The R2C prize
was awarded to Kevin Hoffman.
Rod End Supply Heat race wins went to Weller, D. Murdick and Shingledecker.
There was no B Main.
