Six Declare For Stacker 2 Xtreme DirtCar

Series Lucas Oil "R.O.Y." Honors!!!

Shelby, NC 1-9-04

Six drivers from five states have informed officials of the Stacker 2 Xtreme Dirt Car Series of their intentions to pursue the coveted 2004 Lucas Oil "Rookie of the Year" crown. Billy Drake of Bloomington, IL and Darren "The Thriller" Miller of Chadwick, IL along with Shane Clanton of Locust Grove, GA; Jeep Van Wormer of Pinconning, MI; Dennis "Rambo" Franklin of Gaffney, SC and Jeff Choquette of West Palm Beach, FL are the drivers.

The 2004 Lucas Oil "R.O.Y." class is a young group but not short on experience as all the drivers have captured several big wins in their young careers. The main concern of the "rookie" drivers is the uncertainty of chasing a national traveling series for the very first time but the enthusiasm for the task ahead can not be hidden.

"It's going to be a huge challenge for us.", stated Dan Lucas, a spokesperson for the Ron Arrowood owned team of Choquette when asked what the thoughts of the team were. "It's going to be tough not just for our team but for all the teams going for the Xtreme 'Rookie' title. But, we're up to the challenge. It will definitely be a learning experience for all of us but especially for Jeff. But, that's what he needs. Get out on the road and learn. I'm sure we will do good at certain tracks and at other tracks we're going to struggle."

When asked why the team decided to bring the high school junior, who begins his fourth year as a pilot of a 750hp - dirt slinging Xtreme Dirt Car, onto the road Lucas stated finances and a belief in the direction of the Stacker 2 Xtreme Dirt Car Series.

"Where we are based in West Palm it costs us so much just to travel to a local race here in Florida. We've had good success against the local drivers and we feel that if we're going to spend the money we do just to race here in Florida, why not spend that money on the road? We figure that being on the road will make Jeff a better driver and make the team better as well. And, we truely believe that the direction the Xtreme organization has gone is the best thing to come along in a while for our sport. We really look forward to it".

Lucas was asked about any aspirations or goals the team had set for the upcoming season. "Like any team that's doing this for the first time we just want to make races and run in the top 10. That's basically our goal for this season. We know it's going to be tough. The other teams going for the 'Rookie of the Year' are strong teams. Plus all the other teams racing with Xtreme. It won't be easy at all. Jeff broke his hand in the last race of the year down here in Florida and he will have a soft cast on it when the season kicks off in a few weeks at East Bay. But, Jeff says not to worry. He'll be ready to go".

Attempts at reaching the other declared 2004 Lucas Oil "Rookie of the Year" drivers for their thoughts on the challenges they face and their decisions to chase the Stacker 2 Xtreme Dirt Car Series proved unsuccessful.

To be eligible for the 2004 Stacker 2 Xtreme Dirt Car Series Lucas Oil "Rookie of the Year" title drivers must have not won more than one (1) Xtreme Dirt Car Series sanctioned event in a season nor competed in more than fifteen (15) Xtreme Dirt Car Series sanctioned events in a season. Drivers must contact the Xtreme Dirt Car Series office, 704-487-1169, by April 1 for an eligibility form. The 2004 Lucas Oil "Rookie of the Year" will be determined by the candidate finishing highest in Stacker 2 Xtreme Dirt Car Series "Stacker 2 Cup" points and must compete in 90% of the events completed in the season. The 2004 Lucas Oil "Rookie of the Year" driver will receive a $10,000 cash award and a 2004 Harley-Davidson motorcycle at the year end awards banquet and will also receive free entry and receive $100 appearance money at each 2005 Xtreme Dirt Car Series event the driver competes in. The 2004 Lucas Oil "Rookie of the Year" runner-up will receive a $2,500 cash award at the year end awards banquet.

Arrangements have been made for a winning lucky fan attending the "Winter Nationals" to experience the "ride of a lifetime" with an airborne excursion aboard the Goodyear blimp. Any fan who has already purchased an advanced ticket and those fans purchasing advanced tickets through January 15, 2004 for the "Winter Nationals" will be eligible for this unique promotion. One name from all advanced ticket purchasers will be drawn at random with that person receiving the prize, courtesy of the Goodyear Tire Co.

Advanced reserved seat tickets can be purchased for single nights of racing, in a combo package for the three Northern Xtreme Dirt Car Series sanctioned nights or the three Stacker 2 Xtreme Dirt Car Series sanctioned nights or in a combo package for all six nights of racing. Single night advanced reserved seat ticket prices range, depending on seat selection, from $25.00 to $35.00 for the February 2 - 5 races and range in price from $25.00 to $40.00 for the February 6 and 7 races. A three-day combo pass is priced at $105.00 and a six-day combo pass is $200.00. Combo ticket prices are good until January 21, 2004. Three-day and six-day combo passes are not available below row 14.

Children's tickets, general admission only, are 1/2 price. All credit card orders will be assessed a $5.00 handling charge. Pit admission tickets will be sold the day of the event only. Reserved camping at the track is also available for a nominal fee.

Mix Of Youth And Experience To Follow

Stacker 2 Xtreme Dirt Car Series!!!

Shelby, NC 1-12-04

When the chase for the 2004 "Stacker 2 Cup" championship for the Stacker 2 Xtreme Dirt Car Series gets underway in less than a month at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa (Gibsonton),FL a totally new look of talented drivers will greet the fans. And, it will be an exciting mix of cagy veterans battling the hunger of the "youth movement" that is taking over the sport of Xtreme Dirt Car racing.

"Wow, what a talented mix of drivers the fans will get to cheer for during the upcoming season", stated Xtreme Dirt Cars,Inc. owner/president Doug Bland. "Brian Birkhofer, Jimmy Mars, Don O'Neal, Matt Miller, Earl Pearson Jr., Donnie Moran and Steve Shaver have all indicated that they will be following us. I'm excited about it because the Brian Birkhofer's and those guys are the future of our sport. These guys are the ones that are going to carry the torch on for the race fans down the road and these guys will be here for the long haul. And, we need future superstars for our sport."

A strong class of "rookie" drivers have decided to join the "veterans" for the 2004 Stacker 2 Xtreme Dirt Car Series which pleases Bland immensely. "By far this is the strongest rookie class that has ever been in Dirt Car racing", said Bland. "Billy Drake, Darren Miller, Shane Clanton, Jeep Van Wormer, Dennis Franklin and Jeff Choquette; those guys, a couple of them, could win a championship for that matter."

Bland feels that the "youth movement" is the right package for the right time when a person looks "long term and big picture". "It's like a Ferris wheel", said Bland. "There are some drivers that are well known in Dirt Car racing that are close to the end of their careers. But you can't get caught up in that, keep pushing these guys as the superstars. You have to keep continually filling the pipeline with new talent and bring these guys along and use them in your advertising and really grow the sport with new faces and new names. And there are so many talented drivers that I like said before, you have to have a steady mix of young drivers and drivers that are maybe in the middle of their careers and obviously you need the veterans out there because they have such a great fan base. You have to have a good mix. I really think there is going to be a changing of the guard here in Dirt Car racing in the next few years."

When asked what type of schedule the drivers will see for 2004 Bland stated, "The schedule is 90- 5% complete. We're just finishing up a couple of dates and we should have the schedule finalized prior to the Sunoco Motorsports Show in Philadelphia this week. We're very excited about it. A couple of things have delayed the release of the schedule. One is the IROC situation. We're trying to wait until their schedule comes out because we're going to have one our drivers, Brian Birkhofer, be a test driver this year in IROC's test program and that will make our 2004 champion eligible to compete in the IROC Series in 2005."

Having the invitation to compete in the IROC series is just one of the perks the 2004 "Stacker 2 Cup" champion will receive. "$60,000 in cash and a 2004 H2 Hummer and an opportunity to race in the IROC Series", said Bland. "The Hummer is valued at $60,000 so the championship is basically $120,000 in cash and prizes and last place in IROC pays $80,000!. Just to finish last in all four IROC races pays $80,000. And IROC coverage is worldwide. The Goodyear Tire Co. was integral in helping us to get that together."

The drivers declaring for the 2004 Lucas Oil "Rookie of the Year" will also be chasing some very strong year-end awards. "The rookie will receive $10,000 in cash, roughly $10,000 in a contingency package and then a brand new 2004 Harley-Davidson motorcycle", said Bland. "And the Lucas Oil rookie runner-up will receive a $2,500 cash award."

With the 2004 season just around the corner Bland is extremely anxious to get the season underway. "We've got a list of over 65 drivers who verbally told us that they were going to be at East Bay Raceway Park", explained Bland. "Many people will be there for the first time so I expect our car count to be very similar to years past. I think people that have never been to East Bay in the past are coming this year because they feel that have a chance to be competitive. It's never going to be easier to be competitive on our series than it will this year as far as things being equal and things not having to cost as much as in the past."

"Al Varnadore and Todd Hutto at East Bay, they understand and believe in what we're trying to do. They are looking towards the future and that's what gets me excited because they understand the big picture of what we are trying to accomplish. Every year the 'Winter Nnationals' can just get bigger and bigger and bigger by having Stacker 2, and by having the Goodyear Tire Co. blimp flying over the event. It just puts it at a new level and give it notoriety that it never had before."

"When the fans walk through the gates that first night at East Bay and they see that Stacker 2 48' Interactive display unit and the or promotional models giving out free T-shirts and doing interactive games and they'll have a DJ booth built into the trailer and playing music....... It's a whole new thing for the fans of dirt racing to get involved in that they have never seen before. Dirt racing has never seen anything else like this and I think people are going to be impressed with what they see. It's a great way to start the season off on a track that is three-wide and where a driver can win the race after starting 20th. Any other track down there you can't do that. Al and his guys always give the drivers a good racing surface to entertain the fans and compete on."

The 2004 Stacker 2 Xtreme Dirt Car Series season will officially get underway at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa (Gibsonton), FL for the February 2 - 7 "28th Winter Nationals" at the semi-banked 1/3rd mile clay oval. The Northern Xtreme Dirt Car Series will sanction the Monday, Wednesday and Friday events while the Stacker 2 Xtreme Dirt Car Series will sanction the other three nights of action. Arrangements have been made for a winning lucky fan attending the "Winter Nationals" to experience the "ride of a lifetime" with an airborne excursion aboard the Goodyear blimp. Any fan who has already purchased an advanced ticket and those fans purchasing advanced tickets through January 15, 2004 for the "Winter Nationals" will be eligible for this unique promotion. One name from all advanced ticket purchasers will be drawn at random with that person receiving the prize, courtesy of the Goodyear Tire Co.

East Bay Raceway Park has also arranged for discounted lodging at the Holiday Inn City Centre in Tampa (800) 513-8940, Ramada Inn on Tampa Bay in Apollo Beach (800) 67-BEACH and Sleep Inn and Suites in Ellenton (941) 721-4933. For the "racers rate discount" mention East Bay Raceway Park.

Stacker 2 Xtreme Dirt Car Series Inching Closer To 2004

Season Opener!!!

Shelby, NC 1-14-04

With less than three weeks to go until the 2004 season begins for the Stacker 2 Xtreme Dirt Car Series and the Northern Xtreme DirtCar Series, series officials and race teams are frantically finishing up details. And the enthusiasm is definitely there by all parties when race teams from all parts of the country and a multitude of fans converge on East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa (Gibsonton), FL February 2 - 7 for the "28th Annual Winter Nationals".

"We're just thrashing away here in the shop trying to get everything done before we head to Florida", said 2003 Xtreme Dirt Car Series points runner-up Brian Birkhofer from his Muscatine, IA shop. "I'm really looking forward to this season with the Stacker 2 Xtreme Dirt Car Series. I think Doug and the entire staff have done a fantastic job putting this whole package together. What the package offers is something we have badly need for our sport and now the opportunity's are there. You know this whole package with Stacker 2 and Goodyear and Gemini and Lucas Oil really came about fast, maybe a little bit too fast but I still strongly believe in this program and will do what I can to make it work."

"It's no secret that some of the drivers who raced with Xtreme last year and the old Renegade series have gone elsewhere but I don't think the competition will be any easier!", continued Birkhofer. "There are some great young talents out there that will be racing with us this year and with the Northern deal too. To say it's going to be easier, well, that's just not true. The competition on the track is going to be fantastic. And, the marketing and promotion packages that are being offered not only for the race teams but for the fans is what we have all needed. I am really looking forward to it."

Another driver who anxiously awaits the beginning of the season is Darren Miller of Chadwick, IL. Known as "The Thriller" to his legion of fans, Miller wishes he had more to time get fully ready for his assault on the 2004 "Lucas Oil Rookie of the Year"" title with the Stacker 2 Xtreme Dirt Car Series. "We're running a little bit behind of where I would want to be right now but we will be ready", laughed Miller. "I imagine everyone is like this right now. But, we will be ready and I am really keyed up about this year."

When asked his thoughts of why he decided to run with the Stacker 2 Xtreme DirtCar Series and for the "R.O.Y." crown Miller related, "We finally have a chance to be a traveling team and with the package that is being offered by the Xtreme Series the team and I just felt this was the way to go. And, it's a business for us. The opportunity's available with the Xtreme Series can't be found anywhere else in our sport. For a younger guy like me the opportunity to move up in this sport is finally there."

Miller also stated his thoughts on the competition he will face this year. "I don't care what people say about the competition won't be as strong. It will be extremely tough. O'Neal, Birky, Mars, Pearson, the list just goes on and all the other guys going for the rookie title like Billy Drake, Jeep Van Wormer and the others. All of us will be on the same tire which I think will tighten up the field. So, to say it's going to be easy this year competition-wise I just can't agree with that."

Not only have the race teams been burning the midnight oil but the Xtreme Dirt Cars, Inc. staff has been putting in long hours as well getting ready for the season opener at East Bay Raceway Park. "It's simply been incredible the number of phone calls we have received for tire orders for the 'Winter Nationals' and the number of verbal commitments we have received from the race teams who plan to compete at East Bay Raceway Park", said Xtreme Dirt Cars, Inc. owner/president Doug Bland.

"As of Tuesday (1/13) we have nearly 80 race teams that have told us they plan to compete at East Bay and have ordered tires", continued Bland. "Obviously the changes we have made in our program, which was to bring more people into the program, has worked. With the support of Stacker 2, The Goodyear Tire Company, Gemini and Lucas Oil we have been able to add more money to the program to offer the same opportunities to 15 people on the Stacker 2 Series. My goal next year is to make it 20. And, we have been able to increase the opportunities for the regional series and the weekly series as well. So we want to continue to grow. And the more people you have involved and going to every race and competing on a national level, regional level or weekly level it just strengthens the sport that much more and gives the fans the opportunity to have a true national touring Dirt Car organization."

The 2004 Stacker 2 Xtreme Dirt Car Series and Northern Xtreme Dirt Car Series season's will officially get underway at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa (Gibsonton),FL for the February 2 - 7 "28th Winter Nationals" at the semi-banked 1/3rd mile clay oval.

Xtreme Dirt Cars, Inc. News and Notes!!!

Shelby, NC 1-19-04

The Stacker 2 Xtreme Dirt Cars Series and Northern Xtreme Dirt Car Series capped off a very busy and successful week-end (Jan. 16-18) at the "Motorsports ' 04 presented by Sunoco" Racing Expo at the Ft. Washington Expo Center near Philadelphia, PA as thousands of fans visited the series booth.

A huge throng of fans were on hand to meet Jimmy Mars, driver of the Stacker 2 "house car", and Kenny Wallace, driver of the Stacker 2 sponsored NASCAR Busch Series car on Friday. The crowd of visitors to the Xtreme Dirt Cars,Inc. booth Saturday increased nearly ten-fold with the appearance of WWE "Diva Superstars" Sable and Dawn Marie. Unfortunately, Sunday's appearance by Joe Ganniscoli, who plays "Vito" on the award winning HBO show The Sopranos was canceled when Ganniscoli became ill.

"What a tremendously successful week-end!", stated Xtreme Dirt Cars, Inc. owner/president Doug Bland. "That was my first ever trip to that show and I was just totally blown away by the number of fans who attended and stopped by the booth. And, I know that the Stacker 2 people were more than pleased with the turn-out. Having the 'special guests' at the booth along with the Stacker 2 representatives and Northern Xtreme Dirt Car Series 'Rookie of the Year" candidate D. J. Troutman's race car it was a great, great promotion."

"The other thing that we gained from the show was a huge interest in our program from promoters throughout the Northeast and Eastern Seaboard", continued Bland. "We were hoping to release the schedules for the Stacker 2 Xtreme Dirt Car Series and Northern Xtreme Dirt Car Series at the show. But with all the interest from the promoters we talked to I just felt it best to hold up releasing the schedules until we finish up talking with those folks. Hopefully, we can get the 'i's' dotted and 't's' crossed as soon as we can so we can release the schedules. Once we do release the schedules I think everyone will be pleased."

Kenny Wallace was extremely impressed with the fans that came out to see him and was enthused about the Stacker 2 Xtreme Dirt Car Series. "I hope I can maybe get into a race or two this year with the Stacker 2 Xtreme Dirt Car Series", said the very personable driver. "I just love dirt track racing. I'm a huge fan of it. I really haven't done that much of it though. I know I've raced 11 times on the dirt, mainly in the Modifieds, so I'd be lucky just to make a 'B' Main with these guys!", laughed Wallace. "Hey, these guys that race these dirt cars are tough. The Stacker 2 Xtreme DirtCar Series without a doubt is the Nextel Cup of dirt. There is no doubt in my mind about that. To be honest with you I'd probably be scared as hell to race with these guys!"

Another name has been thrown into the hat for the 2004 "Lucas Oil Rookie of the Year" with the

Stacker 2 Xtreme Dirt Car Series. Duke Whiseant of Texarkana, AR has informed series officials that he will be chasing the "R.O.Y." crown. "I'm definitely looking forward to this", said Whiseant. "We've teamed up this year with Don O'Neal. Our teams will be like partners. We'll be using Rayburn race cars with Pro Power engines and we are geared up and can't wait for East Bay. But, I know it ain't going to be easy. The teams running with Xtreme are tough. Not only the guys that have done it awhile but the rookie class too. I just want to make races, run the best we can and win that 'Rookie' title." When asked why he chose to chase the Stacker 2 Xtreme Dirt Car Series, Whiseant was to the point. "I think the program that has been developed is excellent. When you really sit down and look at the whole package that is being offered I don't know why a guy wouldn't do it. Not just with the national series but with the regional series and the weekly series too. This program is definitely the way to go."

Extra bonus monies have also been posted for the upcoming series opener's for the Stacker 2 Xtreme Dirt Car Series and Northern Xtreme Dirt Car Series at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa (Gibsonton), FL. Sports Plus Video of Williamsport, MD will award $100 cash each night to the driver with the fastest time trial not to qualify for the main event and will award a $500 cash bonus to the driver who holds a new track record at the end of the six-day "Winter Nationals".

The week-long "Winter Nationals" will be the first track for the Xtreme Dirt Cars, Inc. properties to be on the recently announced series mandated tire from the Goodyear Tire Company. An open practice session has been set for Sunday, February 1 from 5:30pm - 9:30pm, the night before the "Winter Nationals" opener. Race teams are reminded to phone Mike Franklin, director of the Xtreme Dirt Cars, Inc. Goodyear Tire program, at 704-487-1169 to order tires.

The Stacker 2 "Y J Stinger Splash Of Energy Tour" Interactive Fan display has been enjoyed by thousands of fans who have attended NASCAR Busch Series and NASCAR Nextel Cup events but it will be a first when the display descends upon East Bay Raceway Park marking the first time ever that fans of dirt track racing will get to enjoy the games and fun of the Stacker 2 "Y J Stinger Splash Of Energy Tour". Arrangements have been made for a winning lucky fan attending the "Winter Nationals" to experience the "ride of a lifetime" with an airborne excursion aboard the Goodyear blimp. One name from all advanced ticket purchasers will be drawn at random with that person receiving the prize, courtesy of the Goodyear Tire Company.

Monday, February 2 has been designated as Media Day at East Bay Raceway Park with all members of the media invited to the track at 2:00pm to meet the drivers and race teams, series and track officials and series and track sponsor representatives.

Bill Elliott and Mark Martin Grace Stacker 2 Xtreme DirtCars

Series East Bay "Winternationals"!!!

Shelby,NC 1-23-04

Two of NASCAR's biggest names will be on hand Tuesday, February 3 at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa (Gibsonton),FL for the second night of the "28th Annual Winternationals" and 2004 season opener of the Stacker 2 Xtreme DirtCar Series. Former NASCAR champion and multi-time fan voted "Most Popular NASCAR Driver" Bill Elliott, who will participate in a limited number of NASCAR Nextel Cup events in 2004, and Mark Martin, driver of the Viagara sponsered NASCAR Nextel Cup car, will sign autographs for the fans at the Stacker 2 "YJ Stinger Splash Of Energy Tour" interactive fan display. Elliott will sign autographs starting at 3:00pm while Martin will greet the fans from 6:00pm to 7:45pm.

"We are more than happy to be able to bring two of the most popular names in American motorsports to East Bay Raceway Park", stated Xtreme DirtCars,Inc. owner/president Doug Bland. "More NASCAR people are taking a very serious look into our arena. Those people are seeing the value of what we are offering with our program. And, their interest is getting stronger and stronger. Bill and Ray Evernham have partnered with Ray Cook. That not only opens the doors for Ray but for the series and the track promoters as well."

Elliott will also be participating in several things while at East Bay Raceway Park including being the pilot for the "two-seater" DirtCar that will give media members an "up close and personal view" of the semi-banked 1/3rd mile speedway. Elliott will also be watching "The Tar Heel Tiger", Ray Cook, very closely. Elliott along with multi-time NASACAR champion crew chief Ray Evernham and Cook have formed a partnership which will see the MasterSbilt Race Car of Cook sporting the name, colors, style and powerplant of Dodge for the 2004 Stacker 2 Xtreme DirtCar Series campaign.

When asked his feelings of the partnership the personable Cook from Brasstown,NC related, "I'm tickled to death to tell you the truth. This deal just didn't happen overnight. We've been working on it for nearly a year. Having the support of both Bill and Ray takes so much pressure off of our program. They've been awesome to work with! I met Bill quite a few years ago actually and our relationship has developed from knowing each other to a friendship and now this partenership. The same thing with Ray. Bill's always dabbled in dirt track racing and we would always lend a hand when he needed it. And, things just developed from there."

Cook continued, "It's the first corporate sponsorship (Dodge) we've ever had. A lot of that is thanks to Ray and Bill. They opened the doors for me and I'm so appreciative of what they've done for our program and what they plan to do in the future. It will be a learning experience for us this year using the Dodge powerplant and body style but I think we will do real well. I'm very confident in our program. I really don't feel any pressure with the new program and partnership. There has been no pressure from Ray, Bill or the great folks at Dodge. I put more pressure on myself than anyone. I know the opportunity is there now for my racing program to move ahead. So, I do feel some pressure but it's my own."

Another key asset added to Cook/Elliott/Evernham Dodge team is the addition of "Cap't." Kirk Loudy as crew chief. Cook feels having the former "World 100" winning crew chief, who previously spun the wrenches for Brian Birkhofer and Scott Bloomquist to name a few, brings so much to the team.

"Having Kirk as the crew chief has been a major, major help", said Cook. "Before when I basically made the calls at the track regarding set-ups and tires sometimes we'd get to thinking too much and throw ourselves totally out of the ballpark. Having Kirk to toss ideas back and forth with and the decision making that needs to be done on the car will definitely make things easier. He has so much experience with the MasterSbilt Race Car. And, he played an integral part in the development of the Goodyear tires. And, Kirk has won the big ones in our sport. He is a great asset to have." Loudy is just as pumped up as Cook about the partnership that has been formed.

"Oh Yeah!", stated Loudy when asked if he was excited about the partnership and the quest for the Stacker 2 Xtreme DirtCar Series "Stacker 2 Cup" championship. "Both Ray and myself have been given an opportunity to further our careers with the partnership with Bill and Ray. Bill knows these cars and what it takes to keep a racing operation going and Ray brings so much technical knowledge and research and development opportunity's. When Ray (Cook) approached me about this program last March the more we talked and the more it developed and I saw where it was going.... How could you say 'No'?!"

When asked about his experience working with the Dodge powerplant Loudy related, "I've only built one Dodge motor from top to bottom in my entire life. That was a motor I had to build as a kid so I could get back and forth to basketball practice. Let's just say I'm excited learning about them. There is so much to learn with the powerplants but Bill and Evernham have been super in helping us."

Loudy also said that one goal for this year was to put his team partner, Elliott, in a Stacker 2 Xtreme DirtCar Series winners circle.

"There's a chance Bill may drive one of the cars maybe a dozen times. It just depends on his schedule. That would be such a thrill for me to have Bill Elliott drive one of our cars to his first Stacker 2 win. That would be absolutely a highlight. It would be just the same as when I wrenched Duayne Hommel to his first big win. I'll never forget that."

With the direction of the Stacker 2 Xtreme DirtCar Series both Cook and Loudy stated their obvious support.

"I really believe in this program that Doug Bland has put together. I really do", said Cook. "Don't get me wrong, the product sponsors that have helped our sport over the years have done a great job to get us to where we are at. And, we still need those product sponsors now and in the future. But, it's like Elliott says. Those people are needed, greatly. But, it's the corporate sponsors like Stacker 2, Goodyear, Gemini and Lucas Oil and other major sponsors that we need to keep raising the bar. You have to keep open-minded about what is presented to you. I believe the direction of Xtreme DirtCars,Inc. is going the right way."

Loudy echoed the sentiments of his driver.

"I'm behind this all the way", said Loudy. "Working with Brian before coming to work for Ray I worked very close with the Goodyear engineers in developing these tires. It wasn't just an "inclusive" deal of Birky only. Ten different drivers that used ten different chassis were invited to participate in the Goodyear tests. Unfortunately, Brian and myself with the MasterSbilt were the only team that participated in the tests. That leaves me a bit disappointed in those other teams. Not only that they didn't accept the invitations to the tests but that they have made the decisons they have made. But, that's their right."

Loudy continued, "I just truely believe this program that has been put together is the best thing to happen for our sport. For years everyone has hollered and complained that the 'next level' is what we needed. Well, it's here. I'm grateful for it. The more corporate sponsor money that comes into the series means more money for the promoters and for the race teams. Let's face it. This is what I do for a living. And, I believe the Stacker 2 Xtreme DirtCar Series and the regionals series and the weekly series for that matter will all benefit. The sponsorship monies and opportunities will trickle down through the entire organization."

Single night advanced reserved seat ticket prices range, depending on seat selection, from $25.00 to $35.00 for the February 2 - 5 races and range in price from $25.00 to $40.00 for the February 6 and 7 races.

Childrens tickets, general admission only, are 1/2 price. All credit card orders will be assessed a $5.00 handling charge. Pit admission tickets will be sold the day of the event only. Reserved camping at the track is also available for a nominal fee.

Northern Xtreme DirtCar Series Primed For East Bay Raceway Park "Winternationals"!!!

Shelby,NC 1-27-04

The Northern Xtreme DirtCar Series (formerly the Renegade DirtCar Racing Series) will kick off their 2004 racing season Monday (Feb. 2) sanctioning the opening night of the "28th Annual Winternationals" at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa (Gibsonton), FL. The NXDCS will also sanction the Wednesday and Friday portions of the six-race "Winternationals" while the Stacker 2 Xtreme DirtCar Series will headline the racing action at East Bay Raceway Park Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

The "28th Annual Winternationals" begin Monday, Feb. 2 with a NXDCS sanctioned 40 lap feature event paying $5,000 to the winner. Wednesday, Feb. 4 features a 50 lap main event paying $7,000 to win. The finale for the NXDCS happens Friday, Feb. 6 with $12,000 going to the winner of the 60 lap feature event. Nearly $100,000 in purse money alone has been posted by 2 VHL Promotions, the management team of the semi-banked 1/3rd mile speedway, for the NXDCS events.

The 2004 NXDCS points championship, worth $30,000 to the champion, will see veteran drivers such as Davey Johnson, Donnie Moran, John Mason, 2003 series "Rookie of the Year" Dave Troutman and Bill Cunningham making a run at the championship while young hotshoes Steve Casebolt, Sean Cosgrove, Eric Myers and D.J. Troutman will battle the veterans.

D.J. Troutman of Hyndman,PA, who served as crew chief for his father Dave's "rookie" title in 2003, will jump behind the wheel in 2004 in his quest for the NXDCS "Rookie of the Year" crown.

"We are really excited about this upcoming year", stated the 21 year-old. "Having my car in the Xtreme DirtCars,Inc. booth at the the 'Motorsports ' 04 Racing Expo' presented by Sunoco a couple of weeks back really paid off. Thanks to Doug Bland and Bret Emrick my father and I were fortunate enough to meet the main principals of Stacker 2. And, those talks have paid off. We will debut our Rocket Chassis/ Russell Baker Racing Engines Pontiac Grand Prix at East Bay Raceway Park sporting a yellow paint scheme, the No. 2 and sponsorship from YJ Stinger Energy Drinks. The sponsorship isn't just for East Bay but for all season. I am pumped!".

Troutman also related, "None of this would've come about if my father and I didn't believe in this program. You know a lot of people have been saying we need corporate involvement. This Xtreme DirtCars program is providing that. Not just for me but for other drivers as well. Now, I have to do my job for YJ Stinger Energy Drinks. You'll only get out of it what you put into it. And, I plan to do the best job for them I can."

In twenty-seven previous NXDCS races at the always competitive EBRP, sixteen different drivers have found winners circle. Don O'Neal heads up the winners list with six while Steve Francis has chalked up four wins. Drivers with two wins each include Billy Moyer, Davey Johnson and local hotshoe Keith Nosbsich. Nailing single triumphs have been Rick Aukland, Steve Shaver, Booper Bare, Mike Balzano, Gary Stuhler, Jimmy Mars, Wendell Wallace, Dan Schlieper, Ray Cook, Jackie Boggs and Chub Frank.

East Bay "Winternationals" First Up For Stacker 2 Xtreme DirtCar Series!!!

Shelby,NC 1-27-04

A new era in DirtCar (dirt Late Model) racing history will unfold Tuesday, Feb. 3 at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa (Gibsonton), FL as the Stacker 2 Xtreme DirtCar Series opens up their 2004 racing season sanctioning three nights of the Feb. 2 - 7 "28th Annual Winternationals" at the semi-banked 1/3rd mile speedway. The week-long "meat grinder" of DirtCar racing, sanctioned by the Stacker 2 Xtreme DirtCar Series and Northern Xtreme DirtCar Series, offers a complete racing program of time trials, qualifying heats, "B" Mains, dashes and feature races each night of the "Winternationals".

The Stacker 2 Xtreme DirtCar Series takes center stage Tuesday, Feb. 3 with a 40 lap - $5,000 to win main event. Another 50 lap main event paying $7,000 to win is on tap for Thursday, Feb. 5. The final night of the "28th Annual Winternationals", Saturday, Feb. 7, will see the Stacker 2 Xtreme DirtCar Series battle it out before The Speed Channel cameras in a 75 lap feature event paying $15,000 to win. Total purse money posted by 2 VHL Promotions, the management team at EBRP, reaches nearly $110,000 for the three-day S2XDCS affair.

"What a talented mix of drivers the fans will get to cheer for during the upcoming "Winternationals" and the entrire season", stated Xtreme DirtCars,Inc. owner/president Doug Bland. "Brian Birkhofer, Jimmy Mars, Don O'Neal, Matt Miller, Earl Pearson Jr., Ray Cook, Donnie Moran and Steve Shaver have all indicated that they will be following us. I'm excited about it because the Brian Birkhofer's and those guys are the future of our sport. These guys are the ones that are going to carry the torch on for the race fans down the road and these guys will be here for the long haul. And, we need future superstars for our sport."

A strong class of "rookie" drivers have decided to join the "veterans" for the 2004 Stacker 2 Xtreme DirtCar Series which pleases Bland immensely. "By far this is the strongest rookie class that has ever been in DirtCar racing", said Bland. "Billy Drake, Darren Miller, Shane Clanton, Jeep Van Wormer, Duke Whiseant, Dennis Franklin and Jeff Choquette; those guys, a couple of them, could win a championship for that matter."

One of those "rookie" drivers shooting for the 2004 Lucas Oil "Rookie of the Year" title and extremely excited about the upcoming season is Drake. The Bloomington, IL native, who will come into the war with MasterSbilt Race Car powered by a Mulvain Racing Engine, can't wait to get things underway.

"I'm excited about following the Stacker 2 Xtreme DirtCar Series this year", said Drake from his shop. "I really believe Doug has good ideas and vision of where he wants to take this sport. I really had to weigh the options we had for this year but I like what I see down the road with the Xtreme Series. My decision to go after the 'Rookie' title and chase the series was based solely on what was good for me and my team. Our main goal is win the 'Rookie' title. That's going to be awfully tough with the other teams that are shooting for the 'Rookie' title. But, we will just do the best we can do."

The lightning-quick East Bay Raceway Park has hosted fourteen previous sanctioned events by the Xtreme DirtCar Series with eight different drivers gracing victory lane. Rick Eckert leads the winners list with three previous scores while Steve Shaver, Don O'Neal, Jimmy Mars and Billy Moyer all have two wins apiece. Single tallies have fallen to Skip Arp, Davey Johnson and Dan Schlieper.

Extra bonus monies have also been posted for the upcoming series opener's for the Stacker 2 Xtreme DirtCar Series and Northern Xtreme DirtCar Series at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa (Gibsonton),FL. Sports Plus Video of Williamsport,MD will award $100 cash each night to the driver with the fastest time trial not to qualify for the main event and will award a $500 cash bonus to the driver who holds a new track record at the end of the six-day "Winternationals".

Mars Photo Finish Winner In Northern Xtreme DirtCar Series Action At East Bay Raceway Park!!!

Tampa (Gibsonton),FL 2-2-04

Jimmy Mars of Elk Mound,WI opened up the 2004 Northern Xtreme DirtCar Series Monday at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa (Gibsonton),FL with a thrilling photo finish victory over Donnie Moran. Mars led every lap of the 40 lap - $5,000 to win main event but it wasn't a cake walk by any stretch of the imagination. Mars felt constant pressure from Don O'Neal several times throughout the race and then had to contend Moran over the final five laps to secure the win in the opening night of the "28th Annual Winternationals". O'Neal rode home third with Davey Johnson fourth and Earl Pearson Jr. fifth. Rounding out the top ten finishers Steve Shaver in sixth followed by Shane Clanton, Jeff Choquette, Brian Birkhofer and Darren Miller.

"Man, was that a race of what?!", stated the very happy driver of the Stacker 2/Heeg Well Drilling/Deepe Industries No. 28M Mars Racing MasterSbilt Race Cars/Pro Power Chevrolet Monte Carlo. "I tried to protect the bottom so much that I think I messed myself up a few times. O'Neal was all over me several times and that one time I hit the inside berm too hard which washed the car up the track and Don just about got me. I was so concerned with protecting the bottom from O'Neal that I had no idea that Donnie was on the outside the last five laps. Coming in for the checkered I pinched the car because it was getting tighter and tighter and again we washed up the track and all of sudden I saw Moran underneath of me. Some how, some way we beat him back to the line." When asked his opinion of the performance of the series mandated Goodyear tires Mars said, "If anybody doubts these tires just show them a tape of this race. The Goodyear tires have leveled the playing field and the competition the fans saw tonight just goes to show that this may very well be the most competitive season any of us have seen. Anyone can win these races now. Anyone."

Mars and Shaver brought the 24 car starting field to the green flag with Mars winning the drag race into turn one over Shaver. Mars held a two car advantage over Shaver at the end of the first lap with O'Neal, Moran and Clanton trailing.

O'Neal worked his way underneath Shaver for second on lap 3 and began to reel in Mars. Moran also passed Shaver dropping the outside pole sitter to fourth. Johnson used a nifty move in turn three to grab fifth from Clanton on lap 5 but before lap 6 could be recorded the yellow was waving for Steve Casebolt who jumped the cushion in turn four and slapped the outside wall suffering heavy damage to his race car.

Mars and O'Neal took off on the restart and began their struggle for the lead. O'Neal made a bid for the lead on lap 13 as the lead duo moved around the lapped car of Matt Miller. But, Mars held the lead when the yellow waved again on for a slowing Dennis Franklin who suffered a flat right rear tire.

Mars and O'Neal continued their torrid battle once the race restarted and behind them the battle for third on back was intense to say the least. Shaver worked his way back past Johnson on lap 16 only to have Johnson grab the spot back four laps later. At the halfway point Mars and O'Neal were nose to tail with Moran four car lengths behind the leaders with Johnson fourth and Shaver fifth followed by Pearson Jr., Clanton, Choquette, Miller and Birkhofer.

Lap 24 saw O'Neal make another bid for the lead as Mars had to give up the bottom in turn three with the lapped car of Dave Troutman directly in front of the two top runners. O'Neal shot underneath of Troutman as Mars went to the highside keeping his lead by inches over O'Neal. Pearson Jr. who had grabbed fifth from Shaver on lap 21 was now closing quickly on Johnson while Moran kept a one car advantage over Johnson. Caution on lap 28 for a slowing Troutman brought out the races third yellow flag period.

On the restart Mars was able to put a little distance on O'Neal who now had his hands full with Moran. Lap 30 saw Johnson sweep past Moran for third. Mars kept opening up more ground on O'Neal as the laps wound down but that all changed on lap 35 when the caution waved for D.J. Troutman who broke the right rear suspension.

Mars and O'Neal hooked up in a torrid battle for the lead over the final five circuits but the driver on the move was Moran. Moran jumped to the top groove of the racetrack grabbing third from Johnson on lap 38. Moran kept his outside assault taking second from O'Neal with the white flag waving and began to move in on Mars. Entering turn three Mars tried to keep his car on the bottom but the car slid wide in turn four and Moran cut his car to the bottom pulling even with Mars as they exited turn four for the checkered flag. Mars stayed on the gas as did Moran with Mars just taking the win by mere inches.

The $24,000 purse attracted 64 drivers to the semi-banked 1/3rd mile speedway with Moran earning the fast time award with his quick lap of 15.094 seconds. Heat race wins fell to Moran, Matt Miller, O'Neal, Clanton, Shaver and Mars. Scoring wins in the "B" Main events were Darren Miller and Steve Casebolt while Mars copped the YJ Stinger Extreme Energy Drink dash and the Donn Goodson Memorial Strawberry dash fell to Al Purkey.

Stacker 2 Xtreme DirtCar Series Opener Falls to Mars At East Bay Raceway Park!!!

Tampa (Gibsonton),FL 2-3-04

Jimmy Mars of Elk Mound, WI captured the 2004 season opening Stacker 2 Xtreme DirtCar Series sanctioned event at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa (Gibsonton), FL Tuesday pocketing $5,000 for the second night of the "28th Annual Winternationals". Starting from the pole position in the 40 lap main event the driver of the Stacker 2/Heeg Well Drilling/Deppe Enterprises No. 28M Jimmy Mars Racing MasterSbilt Race Cars/Pro Power Racing/Chevrolet Monte Carlo led all the way for his second straight victory in the "Winternationals". Mars also captured Monday's Northern Xtreme DirtCar Series opener at the semi-banked 1/3rd mile speedway.

Earl Pearson Jr. rode home second nearly six car lengths behind Mars with Don O'Neal third, Billy Drake fourth and Donnie Moran fifth. Completing the top ten finishers were Davey Johnson in sixth with Dennis Franklin seventh then Garrett Durrett, Brian Birkhofer and John Mason.

"The car was so much better tonight", stated the very happy Mars. "Last night the car was just so tight that it was a handful. We worked on loosening it up a bit for tonight and we hit on it. The car was just simply awesome tonight. I have to thank my brother Chris and the rest of the guys on the crew. They really have worked hard to get ready for the 'Winternationals' and down here as well. I have to thank Stacker 2, Heeg Well Drilling, Deppe Enterprises and T.L Sinz Plumbing for all their support. The Goodyear tires have worked so well for us. I'm really excited with our start to the season and hope we can keep it going."

Mars and Pearson Jr. brought the 24 car starting field to the green flag with Mars winning the drag race into turn one to grab the lead. With one lap in the books Mars held a two car advantage over third starting Moran, Pearson Jr., Durrett and seventh starting Kyle Berck. Moran stayed with Mars for lap 2 but on lap 3 Pearson Jr. took advantage of a slight bobble by Moran to grab the runner-up spot. Before lap 4 could be recorded Vince Muzzin lost control of his mount exiting turn four and spun to a stop bringing out the caution flag.

Mars again got the advantage on Pearson Jr. and the rest of the field on the restart jumping out to a healthy margin. Lap 6 saw Steve Shaver explode past Durrett for fifth and Berck for fourth and immediately move in on Moran. Contact in turn one between the two sent both cars spinning and collected several other cars in the melee. All but Shaver and Jayme Zidar were able to rejoin the race after heading pitside to repair damages.

Once the race restarted Mars again showed his dominance pulling away from his pursuers. But, the battle behind Mars for position was incredible. By lap 13 Mars was lapping the backmarkers in the field with Pearson Jr. still second with Berck now third ahead of O'Neal and Drake.

At the halfway mark Mars enjoyed a seven car advantage over Pearson Jr. with O'Neal now third and putting pressure on Pearson Jr. Drake ran fourth with Moran back up to fifth followed by Durrett in sixth with Birkhofer seventh then Franklin, Johnson and Mason.

Moran worked his way past Drake for fourth on lap 21 using the outside groove of the ultra-quick clay track. Moran began to pressure O'Neal for the third spot racing side by side with O'Neal for several laps until Moran slipped a bit exiting turn two on on lap 30 allowing Drake to work his way back into fourth.

The final 10 laps saw Mars enter heavy lapped traffic allowing Pearson Jr. to close to within three car lengths of the leader. Mars quickly worked his way through the slower traffic while Pearson Jr. now had his hands full giving Mars the opportunity to stretch his lead once again. Once clear of the traffic the laps had run out for Pearson Jr. to do anything with Mars.

The $24,000 purse event attracted 60 drivers to EBRP with Brian Birkhofer earning the RINGERS GLOVES "Fast Time Award" during time trials circling the speedway in 14.903 seconds. Grabbing heat race wins were Birkhofer, Pearson Jr., Duke Whiseant, Mars, Durrett and Moran. The "B" Main events fell to Johnson and Matt Miller with the YJ STINGER EXTREME ENERGY DRINKS Dash falling to Mars and the Donn Goodson Farms Memorial Strawberry dash fell to Shane Clanton.

The Stacker 2 Xtreme DirtCar Series will sanction night No. 4 of the "28th Annual Winternationals" Thursday night with a 50 lap - $7,000 to win feature event.

Berck Nabs Northern Xtreme DirtCar Series Victory At East Bay "Winternationals"!!!

Tampa (Gibsonton),FL 2-4-04

Kyle Berck of Marquette,NE rode the emotional roller-coaster Wednesday at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa (Gibsonton),FL but came out on top in the Northern Xtreme DirtCar Series sanctioned 50 lap - $7,000 to win "28th Annual Winternationals". Berck started off the night heavily damaging his primary Dorothy Lynch Homestyle Dressing No. 14 Kyle Berck Racing Rocket/Wegner/Taurus in hot laps when he jumped the cushion in turn four, slapped the outside retaining wall and got nailed by Jimmy Mars who had no place to go and then took a second hit from Garrett Durrett.

Berck's crew brought out the back-up car which the friendly driver promptly qualified 11th with no practice laps. Berck then won his heat race and the YJ Stinger Extreme Energy Drinks dash to place him on the pole of the main event. On a lap 24 restart Berck went from leading the race to third when he bobbled in turn one. Berck worked his way back into second by lap 35 but was nearly one second behind race leader Don O'Neal when the racing gods smiled on Berck and frowned on O'Neal. O'Neal suddenly slowed in turn two when the left rear spring shot out from his car on lap 41 handing the lead back to Berck which he parlayed into victory in only his third ever race at the semi-banked 1/3rd mile.

"Welcome to East Bay", chuckled the very happy winner in victory lane. "Man, what a wild race. Everything just fell for our way. The crew is conditioned for a night like we had tonight. Three times before tonight we have had to go to the back-up car and each time we have come back to win. All the credit in the world goes to them. Getting this win is a dream come true for us. You just don't come to East Bay and expect to win the first time you've ever raced at the place. I've been coming here for 12 years as a fan and this year we decided that we were going to race. Our main goals coming in were to get laps and make a few races. But, to come in here and win in only your third race....You just don't do that here at East Bay."

When asked what happened on the lap 24 restart Berck related, "Driver error. I didn't get enough heat into the right front Goodyear Eagle during the caution laps and when I entered turn one the car just pushed up the track. I jumped on the brakes, stalled the car out, got it refired but by that time O'Neal and Matt Miller were by me. We weren't the fastest car out there tonight, O'Neal was. Then I saw the spring fall from his car and thought to myself, 'You gotta' be kidding me'. What a roller-coaster night!"

Davey Johnson who started 23rd roared to a runner-up showing with 15th starting Jeff Smith third, 18th starting Billy Drake fourth and Jimmy Mars fifth. Rounding out the top ten were Matt Miller in sixth followed by Ray Cook, 19th starting Brian Birkhofer, Shane Clanton and Earl Pearson Jr.

Berck and Miller brought the 24 car starting field to the green flag with Berck getting the advantage over Miller but the yellow flag was quickly out when Garrett Durrett and Drake spun on the backchute bringing about a complete restart. Berck again got the jump on Miller leading the first lap with Cook third ahead of Donnie Moran and Dennis Franklin.

Berck opened up a five car advantage over Miller by lap 10 but entered lapped traffic one lap later allowing Miller to close on Berck. O'Neal, who had started 14th, broke into the top 5 on lap 15 and was up to fourth by lap 20 and then to third one circuit later. Moran worked his way past Cook for fourth on lap 22 with O'Neal taking the runner-up spot from Miller on lap 24. But before the halfway mark could be reached the yellow was waving when John Whitney spun in turn two.

The caution was out again on the restart when contact on the backchute sent Pearson Jr. spinning collecting the cars of Steve Casebolt, Durrett and Sonny Conley. On the second attempt at the lap 24 restart Berck entered turn one and slid up the track allowing O'Neal to become the new leader with Miller second ahead of Berck, Moran and Cook with Drake now sixth ahead of Franklin, Johnson, John Anderson and Clanton.

Drake worked his way past Cook for fifth on lap 29 but before lap 30 could be recorded the yellow was waving again when contact between Miller and Moran in turn four sent Moran spinning collecting Berck and Cook. Moran was charged with the caution while Berck and Cook were given their running positions back for the restart.

By lap 35 O'Neal was off and gone from his pursuers with Berck sitting second ahead of Drake, Johnson and Jeff Smith with Miller now sixth ahead of Cook, Franklin, Clanton and Mars. Johnson roared past Drake fro third one lap later and began to pressure Berck but the yellow waved again when Moran spun in turn two.

O'Neal checked out on the field on the restart and looked to be a sure winner. Lap 41 saw Al Purkey slow in turn one and roll to a stop in turn to bring out another caution. O'Neal suddenly slowed in turn one and came to a stop in turn two with the damaged left rear suspension. Berck unexpectedly was now the race leader again with Johnson hot on his tail. Johnson tried several times to work his way past Berck as the laps wound down but Berck kept the veteran driver behind him taking the win by nearly two car lengths.

The $31,000 plus purse brought 63 drivers to the speedway with Mars earning fast time with his quick lap of 14.938 seconds. Heat race wins fell to Mars, Pearson Jr., Moran, Cook, Berck and Miller with the "B" Main events falling to Brian Birkhofer and John Whitney. Berck captured the YJ STINGER EXTREME ENERGY DRINKS dash while the Donn Goodson Farms Memorial Strawberry Dash went to D.J. Troutman.

The Northern Xtreme DirtCar Series will close out their portion of the "28th Annual Winternationals" Friday, Feb. 6 headline by a 60 lap - $12,000 to win feature event.

Mason Masters The Field In Stacker 2 Xtreme DirtCar Series Action At East Bay!!!

Tampa(Gibsonton),FL 2-5-04

John Mason of Millersburg,OH captured his career first Stacker2 Xtreme DirtCar Series sanctioned victory Thursday earning a well deserved $7,000 on the fourth of six nights of action in the "YJ Stinger 28th Annual Winternationals" at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa (Gibsonton),FL. The 50 lap feature event saw Mason race three-wide with Jimmy Mars and Earl Pearson Jr. on laps 13 and 14 before grabbing the lead for good on lap 15. Mason then held off Pearson Jr. by four car lengths to score his first ever win at East Bay Raceway Park in his 32 year racing career.

Mars, who lead laps 3 - 14, wound up third with 13th starting Scott Pounds fourth and 18th starting Brian Birkhofer fifth. Rounding out the top ten finishers were 15th starting Donnie Moran in sixth followed by 22nd starting Dennis "Rambo" Franklin, 14th starting Al Purkey, pole setter Shane Clanton and Eddie Carrier Jr.

"This is simply unreal!", stated the very happy driver of the Bert Transmission No. 72 Mason Racin',Inc. Rayburn/Malcuit/Monte Carlo. "We knew we had a fast car but it was just a little bit too tight at the beginning of the race. Then the track came to us and this Rayburn race car just flat hooked up and went. Racing three-wide with Jimmy and Earl for two laps was a real thrill. And, I knew that those are two class racers who will race you hard but race you clean. I know from my vantage point it was exciting and it had to have been exciting for the fans as well. To see the leaders race three-wide for two consecutive laps like that had to have given the fans they're monies worth tonight."

When asked his thoughts of what it felt like to finally win a big national event after a long drought of not winning Mason said, "It feels absolutely wonderful. I've been doing this for over 30 years and we have had our success but it has been a long time since we won a national sanctioned event. Give credit where it's due. My daughter Carri, who is my crew chief, is just ecstatic right now and to see her have these feelings means more to me than the win to be honest with you. But, the other folks who came down to help this week deserve credit also. They have worked their butts off this week. And, I have to say that the Goodyear Eagles have performed beyond what many of us thought. I'm sold on them. Goodyear has done their homework and with the new program it has definitely evened the playing field. Actually, the whole Stacker2 Xtreme DirtCar Series program is what this sport has needed for so long. I'm proud to be a part of it."

Pole sitter Clanton and Mars brought the field to the green flag with Clanton powering into the lead off of turn two ahead of Mars. Roger Crouse slapped the outside retaining wall exiting turn two while working lap 2 breaking his steering and sending him across the track where he gathered up Wednesday's Northern Xtreme DirtCar Series winner Kyle Berck and Jeff Smith. Both Crouse and Berck were eliminated from the race. Clanton got the jump on Mars for the restart leading one more lap until Mars powered past Clanton exiting turn four to lead lap three. Caution for a Jeff Smith spin before lap 4 could be recorded and another caution on lap 4 for Matt Miller's spin slowed the pace.

Mars pulled away from the field on the double-file restart with Pearson Jr. shuffling past Clanton for second with Mason now fourth after starting seventh with Carrier Jr. sitting fifth. Pearson Jr. closed to within a car length of Mars by lap 8 and actually passed Mars for the lead on lap 9 but a spin in turn four involving Davey Johnson and Shane Tankersley negated the pass for the lead by Pearson Jr. and gave Mars the top spot back for the restart. By lap 11 Mason had moved past Clanton for third and began to reel in Pearson Jr. and Mars using the outer groove of the lightning-quick speedway. Lap 12 saw Mason move in on Pearson Jr. who was running the middle groove and Mars who was on the bottom. Exiting turn four Pearson Jr. shot to the bottom with Mars moving to the top with Mason taking the middle as they trio crossed the stripe in a virtual dead heat on lap 13. The three cars stayed door to door to door for the next two circuits until Mason powered into the lead which he would never give up.

Mason quickly opened up some distance on his pursuers using the extreme outside groove of the speedway. Mars and Pearson Jr. hooked up in a classic battle for the runner-up spot with Pearson Jr. working his way past Mars on lap 27 after a lap 26 restart when D.J. Miller slowed with an overheated engine. Mars would work his way past Pearson Jr. for the runner-up spot on lap 35 but saw Pearson Jr. regain the position back after a lap 36 restart. Behind the top three cars the racing was intense with drivers using all three grooves of the speedway to thrill the fans. With 10 laps to go in the race Mason was pretty much on his way to the win while Pearson Jr. and Mars kept up their battle for the second position. Pounds worked his way into fourth on lap 41 after a spirited duel with Purkey. Birkhofer, Franklin and Moran had their own battle going over the final circuits with Birkhofer and Moran nailing the fifth spot and sixth spot respectively on the final lap.

The $31,000 plus purse brought 58 drivers to the semi-banked 1/3rd mile track with Pearson Jr. earning the RINGERS GLOVES Fast Time Award in time trials with his fast lap of 15.186 seconds. Heat race wins fell to Pearson Jr., Jeep Van Wormer, Matt Miller, Mars, Carrier Jr. and Clanton. Taking the "B" Main events were Davey Johnson and Pete Parker while Clanton copped the YJ STINGER EXTREME ENERGY DRINK Dash and the Donn Goodson Farms Memorial Strawberry Dash went to Kelly Boen. Billy Drake had finished second in the first "B" Main event but was disqualified when he failed to make the minimum weight. A fuel line had loosened during the race causing more fuel to be used than what was planned.

Northern Xtreme DirtCar Series Fianle At East Bay Falls To Mars!!!

Tampa (Gibsonton),FL 2-6-04

Jimmy Mars of Elk Mound,WI captured the final race of the Northern Xtreme DirtCar Series sanctioned portion of the "YJ Stinger 28th Annual Winternationals" Friday at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa (Gibsonton),FL pocketing over $12,000 . Driving the Stacker2/Heeg Well Drilling/Deppe Enterprises No. 28M Jimmy Mars Racing MasterSbilt Race Cars/Pro Power/Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Mars inherited the lead on lap 24 when Donnie Moran tangled with the lapped car of Jeff Choquette. The fifth starting Mars then had his hands full with both Shane Clanton and Earl Pearson Jr. late in the race before pulling away to a nearly 2 second margin of victory.

Clanton, who started 9th, rode home in second with Pearson Jr. third ahead of Dennis "Rambo" Franklin and 12th starting John Mason. Rounding out the top 10 finishers were 19th starting John Anderson in sixth followed by 21st starting Brian Birkhofer in seventh, 18th starting Don O'Neal eighth 23rd starting Davey Johnson ninth and Kelly Boen tenth.

"I sure hope the fans feel they got their money's worth with that one", said a very worn out Mars. "I really had to work my butt off in this race. I'm whipped. It was unfortunate that Donnie tangled with that lapped car. I hated to see that for him. He was really strong. Then those laps with Shane on one side and Earl on the other racing through traffic. Man, we had to physically work tonight. I just need to thank my crew chief, my brother Chris, and the rest of the crew, MasterSbilt, Pro Power and of course, Stacker2, Heeg and Deppe. The series sponsors too. They've created a great opportunity for all of us."

When asked how the Goodyear Eagles performed in the 60 lap contest Mars related, "Those Eagles gave me so much traction tonight. That's why I'm tired. The track was just hooked up. And, it did it's usual. The groove changed all night long and you had to chase it. Everyone had traction tonight. Goodyear has developed a great tire and will continue to work to improve them. It's a great program. We've all seen how competitive it has been this week."

At the drop of the green flag pole sitter Moran jumped out to the lead with Pearson Jr., Franklin, Eddie Carrier Jr. and Mars in tow at the end of the first lap. Franklin powered by Pearson Jr. for second whne the field completed lap 2 and set his sites on Moran. Franklin powered by Moran using the top groove exiting turn four to lead lap 3 while Mars used the bottom to pass Carrier Jr. The fast paced action was slowed before lap 4 could be recorded when Birkhofer spun in turn 2 and Mark Voigt rolled to a stop in turn 4.

Moran easily powered away from the field on the double-file restart to complete one more lap before the caution waved again when Sean Cosgrove spun in turn 4. Mars worked his way past Pearson Jr. for third once the race resumed. Moran felt heavy pressure from the high-groove running Franklin in turn one while Mars stayed glued to the bottom beating Franklin back to the stripe to grab second. Moran, running the middle groove, powered through one and two to put some distance on Mars. Before lap 8 could be put in the books the red flag flew after Matt Miller slammed the turn three wall going airborne but luckily landing and not flipping. Miller climbed from his car uninjured but was done for the race.

Once the green flag replaced the red flag Moran simply shot away from the field by lap 10. Mars ran second with Franklin third , Carrier Jr. fourth and Pearson Jr. fifth with Mason now up to sixth trailed by Clanton, Boean,Anderson and O'Neal. Mason, using the high groove, shot past Pearson Jr. in turn four to grab fifth at lap 12 notching Carrier Jr. for fourth one lap later.

Moran enjoyed a nearly 3 second lead on Mars when he encountered lapped traffic on lap 16. Moran expertly weaved his way through the traffic keeping Mars at bay. Clanton worked his way to fifth on lap 18. Moran continued his assault but that all changed at lap 25.

Moran entered turn one with the slower car of Jeff Choquette directly ahead. Choquette lost the handle midway between turn 1 and turn 2 sliding sideways and with no place to go Moran jumped on the brakes, clipped Choquette and rolled to a stop. Moran was able to continue but restarted at the back behind the lead lap cars.

Mars, now the leader, had Franklin, Mason, Clanton and Pearson Jr. behind him for the restart with Carrier Jr. Boen, Anderson, Johnson and O'Neal trailing. Cosgrove lost the handle on the restart exiting turn 2 to bring the caution right back out. The second restart brought about another caution when Choquette, Moran, Cosgrove and Mike Mataragas tangled in turn 4. From the point forward the race went green.

Clanton used the outside groove to get past Franklin as the field completed lap 26. Mars began to chase the East Bay "fast lane" as the race remained green opening up a 1.5 second lead on Clanton. By lap 40 Clanton and the other lead lap cars had caught Mars as he lost ground working traffic. From lap 42 to lap 47 Mars had Clanton to the outside of him and Pearson Jr. to the inside of him racing three-wide. Mars was able to fend off the challenges by lap 48 and with 10 to go had pulled out to a nearly 1 second lead. Pearson Jr. and Clanton went after each other for a few laps with Pearson Jr. grabbing second on lap 57 only to have Clanton take the spot back for good with two laps to go.

The $43,000 purse saw 61 drivers sign-in for the event with Carrier Jr. taking the fast time award in time trials with a fast lap of 15.275 seconds around the semi-banked 1/3rd mile oval. Carrier Jr. won his heat race as did Pearson Jr., Mars, Franklin, Moran and Duke Whiseant. The "B" Main events fell to Anderson and Dan Stone with Moran winning the YJ STINGER EXTREME ENERGY DRINKS dash. Taking the Donn Goodson Farms Memorial Strawberry dash was Shane Tankersley.

Stacker2 Xtreme "Winternationals" Finale At East Bay Falls To Moran!!!

Tampa (Gibsonton),FL 2-7-04

Donnie Moran of Dresden,OH pocketed $15,000 Saturday for his victory in the 75 lap finale of the "YJ Stinger 28th Annual Winternationals" at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa (Gibsonton),FL, sanctioned by the Stacker2 Xtreme DirtCar Series. Driving the QPI Tools Dirt Ripper Donnie Moran Racing No. 99 MasterSbilt/SMS Engines/Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Moran overhauled Matt Miller on lap 49 and then held Miller at bay taking the win by nearly 3 seconds. Steve Shaver, who started 12th, rode home in third with 14th starting Davey Johnson fourth and 19th starting Shane Clanton finished fifth. Rounding out the top ten runners were Don O'Neal in sixth followed by Jimmy Mars, Dennis "Rambo" Franklin, 24th starting Ray Cook and Billy Drake.

"If your going to win one of this races you might as well make it the big money race", said Moran to the nearly SRO crowd that was on hand for the final race of the six-night event at EBRP. "The car worked nearly flawlessly. It wasn't that good in the dash so we went to work on it and got it just right. These Goodyear Eagles we're now using performed the best I've ever seen here at East Bay. No matter what, you could race the car where ever you needed to put it. I just need to thank QPI Tools for their support and MasterSbilt Race Cars for a great car. And, I'm so happy with the SMS Engines we're now using. Man, do they have response and horsepower."

When asked about the week of racing Moran stated, "We probably should have won at least two other nights but stuff happened and we didn't get them. But, I am really impressed with the direction the series has taken. Stacker2, Goodyear Tires, Gemini Auto Care Centers and all the other series sponsors have given us what all of us have wanted for so long. The Goodyear tires have been just simply awesome. I've never been on a tire that had so much forward bite. And, even though we just went 75 hard laps the tires are still good. We can run them again. The Goodyear tires have evened the playing field. It doesn't matter if your one of the top dogs or a driver just starting out. This Goodyear Tire program puts everybody on the same page which makes for a great show for the fans and puts the emphasis back on the car set-up and driver skill rather than what tire you put on."

Eddie Carrier Jr. and John Mason occupied the front row for the start with neither driver getting an edge. Carrier Jr., Mason, third starting Mars and fifth starting Earl Pearson Jr. headed for the stripe to complete lap one four-wide with Mars shown as the leader. Mars would stay in front through lap 3 when Pearson Jr. powered into the lead.

By lap 10 Pearson Jr. had opened up a five car length lead over Mars with Billy Drake third ahead of 10th starting John Anderson and Moran while Carrier Jr., Mason, Miller, Kelly Boen and Shaver sat sisxth through tenth. Pearson Jr. encountered lapped traffic on lap 12 allowing Mars and the rest of the lead pack drivers to close.

Slicing his way through the backmarkers using all three grooves of the speedway Pearson Jr. continued his torrid pace as the race stayed green. By lap 20 Pearson Jr. enjoyed a huge lead as Moran began to make his way to the front. Moran had gotten by Anderson for fourth on lap 15, took third from Drake on lap 22 and grabbed second from Mars on lap 24.

Moran whittled into Pearson Jr.'s huge lead chopping the deficit to two car lengths when the races first caution waved on lap 34 when Drake pulled to a stop with a broken left front tie rod. Drake had raced the previous 10 laps with the broken steering piece but somehow kept the car under control until it became too much of a handful forcing Drake to come to a stop in turn two. At this point severl drivers headed for the pits, including the third running Mars and seventh running Don O'Neal, for a change of Goodyear Eagles which shuffled the deck for the double-file restart. Drake's crew made quick repairs and got their driver back into the race before going back to green.

For the restart, Matt Miller lined up third and with the double-file restart shot to the outside groove to overhaul Pearson Jr. and Moran off of turn two beating them back to the start-finish line to lead lap 35. Moran quickly moved past Pearson Jr. for second one lap later and set his sights on Miller. Moran swept past Miller in turn two while working lap 49 to become the new race leader. With 25 laps left in the books the top 10 running order was Moran the leader with Miller second, Shaver now third with Pearson Jr. fourth and Anderson fifth followed by Franklin, Johnson, Clanton, Jeff Smith and Cook.

Moran continued his rapid pace using every inch of the racing surface to slice and dice his way through the backmarkers continually opening up his lead on Miller. By lap 60 Moran had a nearly 12 car length advantage on Miller but that all changed on lap 62 when the caution waved for Smith who had tangled with a car in turn four spinning to a stop.

Miller was now back up with Moran for the restart but Moran just had too much horspower and traction for Miller to stay with the leader. The caution waved again on lap 68 when Anderson hopped the turn 2 inside berm stalling his car when he re-entered the race track. As before on the previous restart Moran was just too strong for Miller to mount any challenge against him. Pearson Jr. and Clanton were racing for fifth with two laps to go when contact between the two sent Pearson jr. spinning to a stop in turn four. The final two laps were all Moran as he easily ran away from Miller and the rest of the pack to secure the win.

The $53,000 purse attracted 54 drivers to the semi-banked 1/3rd mile dirt track with Mars earning the RINGERS GLOVES Fast Time Award in time trials with his fast lap of 15.212 seconds. Taking heat race wins were Mars, Pearson Jr., Mason, Moran, Franklin and Carrier Jr. The twin "B" Main events fell to Clanton and Jeep Van Wormer respectively while Carrier Jr. copped the YJ STINGER EXTREME ENERGY DRINKS heat race winners dash to earn the pole starting position. The non-qualifers Donn Goodson Farms Memorial Strawberry Dash went to Anthony White.

The Speed Channel cameras caught all the action of the night's activities and will broadcast the event February 28 at 3:00pm EST. Two red flags were needed in the heat races. The first in heat 2 when Sean Cosgrove slipped wide exiting turn four on lap 9 climbing the wall and just past the flagstand began to flip. Cosgrove's car turned over 3 and 1/2 times before coming to a rest near the entrance to turn 1. Safety crews were quickly on the scene and after a few seconds pulled Cosgrove from his destroyed race car. Though shaken, Cosgrove was able to walk to the medic vehicle for an evaluation. Heat 3 saw Al Purkey nearly duplicate what happened to Cosgrove only Purkey's car rode the wall from the flagstand to midway between turn 1 and turn 2 before coming to a stop with the entire right hand side of the car sheared away. Purkey was unhurt.

The 2004 Stacker2 Xtreme DirtCar Series schedule is being finalized and should be released in the very near future.

2004 Schedule For Stacker2 Xtreme DirtCar Series Released!!!

Shelby,NC 2-18-04

The long awaited 2004 schedule for the Stacker2 Xtreme DirtCar Series has been released by series owner/president Doug Bland. The 2004 schedule shows 34 confirmed dates to be contested at 28 different race tracks in a 16 state area with 9 dates yet to be confirmed. Over $400,000 in first place money alone will be up for grabs from the nearly $1,700,000 in feature purses. Those totals could swell to over $500,000 in first place money and over $2,000,000 in feature purses once the open dates are filled. Throw in a $345,000 point fund, several thousand more dollars in "Winners Circle" money and sponsor contingencies for the 2004 season and total monies and prizes available could easily top the $2,500,000 mark.

"I think the schedule is very strong and will get stronger as we fill in the open dates", stated Bland. "It should be a very exciting season as we will compete at some of the very best facilities in the country. And, we will make seven first time visits in 2004 which really has me excited. If the recent racing at East Bay Raceway Park was any indication of what the season has in store, I can't wait. It will be a long season for the teams but the rewards they have at the end of the season will definitely make it worth it."

Bland also stated, "The response from the fans at East Bay about the racing and the marketing concepts we presented with Stacker2, Goodyear, Gemini Auto Care Centers and Lucas Oil was all positive. Those things will continue and it's all for the fans. This schedule we have should be exciting for them. And, for the news fans that have never seen us before."

The chase for the 2004 Stacker2 Xtreme DirtCar Series "YJ STINGER CUP" Championship began Feb. 3 at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa, FL.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Stacker2 Xtreme DirtCar Series Reschedules Hagerstown Speedway Date!!!

Shelby,NC 3-1-04

The Stacker2 Xtreme DirtCar Series and officials of Hagerstown Speedway in Hagerstown,MD have agreed to reschedule the only 2004 appearance by the XDCS at the semi-banked half-mile dirt oval from July 24 to June 4. One of Hagerstown Speedway's most premier events, the "9th Annual Silver Cup Nationals" will now carry the Stacker2 Xtreme DirtCar Series sanction for the 50 lap - $10,000 to win event.

"I am pleased that the Stacker2 Xtreme DirtCar Series is returning to the Hagerstown Speedway," said Hagerstown Speedway owner/promoter Frank Plessinger. "We were the first track in the northeast to have a Xtreme (then Hav-A-Tampa) sanctioned race and they have always been a great group to work with. They have always brought many of the best dirtcar (late model) drivers in the country to Hagerstown and I am sure this season they will do the same. The fans are excited that we have this exciting group of drivers on our schedule again this year."

Originally slated for July 24 the "Silver Cup Nationals" was moved to the June 4 date due to a scheduling conflict. With the movement of the date the first week-end of June will be a huge week-end for fans along the eastern seaboard and northeast. The Stacker2 Xtreme DirtCar Series will make their inaugural appearance at New Egypt Speedway in New Egypt,NJ Thursday, June 3 before heading to Hagerstown Speedway Friday, June 4 and then on to the historic Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg,PA Saturday, June 5 for a first time ever visit. All events will include RINGERS GLOVES time trials, heat races, "B" Mains and the YJ STINGER EXTREME ENERGY DRINK dash capped off by a 50 lap - $10,000 to win feature race.

"Our thanks to Frank Plessinger and GM Lisa Bragunier for their help in rescheduling this date," said Xtreme DirtCars,Inc. owner/president Doug Bland. "Both Frank and Lisa were very professional and co-operative in working to reschedule the event. Hagerstown Speedway is one of the premiere dirt speedways in the country. The Stacker2 Xtreme DirtCar Series is proud to be associated with Hagerstown Speedway. Moving the date will now make for a banner week-end for everyone involved."

The Stacker2 Xtreme DirtCar Series drivers expected to invade the true half-mile oval include current "YJ Stinger Cup" point leader Jimmy Mars of Elk Mound,WI; Donnie Moran of Dresden,OH; Brian Birkhofer of Muscatine,IA; Earl Pearson Jr. of Jacksonville,FL; 2003 Xtreme DirtCar Series "Lucas Oil Rookie of the Year" Matt Miller of Waterville,OH; Ray Cook of Brasstown,NC; Davey Johnson of Greensburg,PA; Don O'Neal of Martinsville,IN; Steve Shaver of Vienna,WV; John Mason of Millersburg,OH and Dennis Franklin of Gaffney,SC.
