8:51
Comment From josh 

how bad did the 57 scrap the wall?
8:50
88 MacDonald is making his first appearance of Speedweeks after arriving today from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario/Canada.
8:49
88 MacDonald has came down pit road as a crew member is washing his windshield, more than likely oil from the 4b Bruns.
8:49
The #57 of Tim Moore scraped the wall while slowing down for the yellow as well.
8:48
It appears as if 4b Bruns may have lost a motor in his machine as he has come to rest on the back stretch and there’s a trail of fluid on the track.
8:48
Green Flag was out and then the Caution already as 4b Bruns is well off the pace.
8:47
Comment From Caesar 

Good luck Moxley !

112 Jarrett Korpi was a late addition, but he’s already pit side.
8:46
Preece didn’t look thrilled when he climbed out of his car either but calmly walked away to his pits. We’re going to try to follow up later, but his pit is not in the infield.

Our Elgin Traylor is down in the TC pit to get TC’s point of view on what happened. Preece definitely hit TC from behind, but  there was certainly some general racing contact in a general pack that precipitated all of that.

Up next will be the Florida/IMCA-Type Modifieds 25-Lap Feature followed by the TBARA Winged Sprint Cars Series 30-Lap Main Event of the evening.

2 Eric Goodale
3 Patrick Emerling
4 John Jenson
5 Chuck Hossfeld
6 Billy Weichart
7 Ted Christopher
8 Ryan Preece

Then SKs
8:20
Eric Goodale had taken second on the previous lap and will now be second on the restart.
8:20
LAP 23 – CAUTION – John Jensen and Ryan Preece together in Turn Two. Preece goes around but keeps it off the wall. Billy Weichart also spins to avoid.
8:19
RESTART – Hemric SPINNNNNNNNNNS the tires on the restart but somehow manages to get the hammer down and pull away.
8:19
Hemric will take the outside for the restart, Emerling on the in.
8:18
79 Hemric has led all 22 laps so far. Just 3 laps remaining.
8:18
Good obversation, we’d have to agree.
8:18
Comment From TorpedoTom Syracuse NY 

Looks like inside lane when tires are fresh and outside lane once they are heat cycled a few times.
8:18
This will leave Hossfeld 6th and TC 7th. Those two are running side-by-side under caution and we imagine some hand communication is going on between the two.
8:17
SK Top 3
1. 59 Dave Cramner
2. 12 Rob Schultz
3. 70 Jeremy Gerstner
8:17
Running Order – LAP 22:

1 Daniel Hemric
2 Patrick Emerling
3 Eric Goodale

5 John Jenson
8:16
TC will be sent to the rear of the field with Chuck Hossfeld.
8:16
Comment From Hemric Fan 

NOT AGAIN! My heart is racing! Hold them off hotshoe!
8:16
Sorry to hear that for Eddie Brunnhoelzl
8:16
Comment From billy 

the 8x transporter is broken down on 95
8:15
LAP 22 – CAUTION – TC spins out Hossfeld racing for second in Turn Two. TC had come like a rocket into that battle.
8:15
LAP 21 – Chuck Hossfeld tries the inside every corner but still trails Hemric by a carlength at the stripe.
8:14
LAP 20 -TC back to third but lost about five carlengths in that battle.
8:14
5 Laps to go Top 3 (SK): 59 Cramner, 12 Schultz, 70 Gerstner
8:14
LAP 19 – Hossfeld back under Hemric nothing doing. TC with more luck sticking inside of Emerling
8:14
LAP 18 – Hemric clear. Emerling by TC for third.
8:14
RESTART – Hemric chose the outside and lost it into one. But Hemric keeps it wound up and they are still door to door after a lap
8:13
SK Top 3: 59 Cramner, 12 Schultz, 70 Gerstner
8:12
The #5SK of John Wilbur was slow on the restart as well and hits pit road.
8:12
Comment From 79fan 

come on hemric! get this for Roger!
8:12
Comment From top spotter 

gonna get good….
8:11
LAP 16 – CAUTION – Spin on the backstretch. Kevin Goodale around and nips the inside backstretch wall. That saves Hemric who did not get a great restart and looked to be losing the lead to Hossfeld.
8:10
One to go. Hemric will choose the inside line once again. It’s worked great the first two double-file restarts
8:10
Daniel Hemric is looking for his first ever Modified victory and it would mean a lot to the Hillbilly Racing team after team patriarch Roger Hill passed away over the winner.
8:10

Coming to the one to go. In the words of famous announcer Ben Dodge, “In all the colours of the rainbow, they head down into turn number two. Ladies and gentlemen, place your bets”
7:59
The Zacharias team brought a Tour-type (driven by Timmy) and an SK (Jimmy) for tonight.
7:59
Comment From James 

What happened to the 71 Modified? Did they convert it to a SK?
7:58
On the grounds, but not answering the call tonight are:
8 Jonathan Kievman
73 Cole Powell
7:57
Pace laps.
7:57
Remember, there is a race inside the race for this Tour-type/SK feature. The SKs have merged with the Tour-type division for all the races this week. It’s highly unlikely due to their engine package that an SK will win the race outright, but the top-finishing SK driver will be credited with an SK victory. All the SKs will start together in the back.
7:56
Comment From dennis 

great coverage, its like i was there that race, whoever is typing, your good
7:55
It’s Feature Time here in New Smyrna Beach, Florida.
7:55
Race car drivers have long memories, but if I was Ryan Preece I wouldn’t go too hard after TC considering they’re going to see each other at least thirty times more in 2012.
7:55
Comment From Josh 

Do you think Ryan preece and tc will go after each other tonight?

Tomorrow was originally scheduled to be a 50-lap SK feature, but because the Tour-type and SKs have been combined due to low SK turnout, the following will happen:

The SKs will run with the 25L Tour-Type race tomorrow.

The SKs will run for the 50L purse instead on the John Blewett 50 Wednesday, which was the originally scheduled 50L Tour-Type race.

” In the meantime, my friend Blake Bainbridge and I are building a couple of really nice Super Late Model cars that we’re planning on running for fun this year. You’ll see us at a lot of the big races for those cars, like the Snowball Derby and the Winchester 400. ”

We also anticipate seeing Wallace run the UARA circuit in 2012.

Jack Arute’s wife (Arute being the promoter of the Stafford track SKs started at) came up with the term ‘SK Modifieds’. It doesn’t actually stand for anything, they just thought it sounded catchy.

A huge mystery for me I can’t find out………why do they call them SK mods……….what does SK stand for?

Gus Dean continues a strong practice day as he leads the nine “transponding” (is that a word?) Late Models on the time sheet with an 18.150 halfway through this practice.

When are the trucks racing?
3:27
Mostly engine. Sometimes tread width depending on your local track rules, but pretty much it’s all in the engine department.
3:27
Comment From Joel 

What’s the difference between a tour type and an SK?
3:26
Matt Tifft’s Facebook page reports that last night the team broke a swaybar bracket and that was the issue with the primary car. Likely, the team is just using this free day to test their backup as Tifft took a long time to shake the car down before hitting the hammer.
3:24
Matt Tifft in what would appear to be a backup car. We’ll try to follow up with him later. We don’t recall the primary being badly damaged in either race thus far (Speed51.com Photo)

Pros and Supers are not racing tonight so we haven’t seen and don’t expect to see any new faces in the garage. The only driver we can confirm will be joining the LM field late will be Chase Elliott in the Super Late Model field Thursday and Saturday.

3:15
That will conclude Tour-Type/SK practice. Another round of combined Pro/Super Late Model practice about to begin.
3:15
Christopher may have the fastest time, but he is still driving the heck out of his car in practice. We audibly hear the tires squealing in the turns. It seems as though he was on a mock qualifying run.
3:13
No surprise here folks as TC’s 17.118 has the Tours and SKs covered by two-tenths of a second in practice.
3:11
No sign of Eddie Brunnhoelzl today. Maybe he’s bringing us some waffles.
3:10
Comment From billy 

has eddie brunnhozel and the 8x mod made it to the track yet? I saw the trailer at a waffle house
3:04
No, no sign of the #73 Modified for Cole Powell. They had mechanical issues with it in Saturday’s feature so not sure if they are shelving it for the rest of the week.

Engine change for Jerry Symons. Crew says motor just didn’t work all thru practice. They are taking the motor from the backup 66D of Dwayne Dempsey so Dempsey will not run tonight the team confirms

February 10th, 2009…. Keep that date handy as that is the last time a Non-Florida resident won a Florida/IMCA-Type Modifieds Feature during Speedweeks. Mike Stacy visited victory lane that night. Since then, Sunshine State representatives have dominated.

Maverick McDonald, who arrived today after making the long haul from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario/Canada looks to be a threat to win Tonight after timing in second quick in final Practice.

Comment From RACER68 

SCHULTZ CAR IS B RAND NEW FINISHED SATURDAY
1:55
We at Speed51.com get a ton of emails, tweets and Facebook messages asking for some publicity for drivers, series and tracks. Much of the news-worthy stuff ends up on one of our outlets. Sometimes, we do take their advice and make them a feature story or do something cool to promote what they have going on.

Now, we want to step up our coverage and publicity for drivers throughout North America to continue bringing fans the most comprehensive short track racing coverage on the web.

To do that, we need your help for two new areas of Speed51.com. Sign up for our Speed51.comDriver Database and Social Media directory. It’ll help you get some story ideas through us at 51 and some new fans when we publish the social media page.

Schultz is an SK, bringing the tally of SKs on the ground to five. One SK we have not seen yet today is Jeremy Gerstner who last we heard had to change an engine after the Saturday feature.
1:53
Rob Schultz’s #12 Modified hits the track for the first  time this Speedweeks. Preece’s team heading back out. Without transponder, it is hard to tell how they are doing, but team seems pretty relaxed in the pits from our vantage point.
1:51
Unfortunately, no. The TBARA tech and official scoring is done by their sanctioning body, so the unofficial results we posted last night are as far as we know for sure. TBARA’s official website is tbara.net for more information hopefully after Speedweeks to double check if those results are official. We should note though that we have heard nothing in the pits this morning to make us think something changed since last night’s rundown.
1:51
Comment From WI Fan 

Just wondering if you could post the official results from the TBARA sprints feature last night? The results posted last night seemed to be a little different than what was posted elsewhere. Thank you!
1:49
Tour/SK Modified practice up now. John Jenson, John Wilbur, Patrick Emerling, Ryan Preece (still without transponder), and Kevin Goodale are out on the racing surface.

12:58
12:57
Kudos to officials and drivers for putting on a great show last night. After a rough opening night, race director Glenn Luckett stressed in last nights meeting the rules regarding starts and restarts. In addition, he reminded everyone to be smart because the week is really early. In turn, fans were treated to great racing with very few cautions. If every night can be half as good as last night, fans in the stands can expect great things to come.

Glad to have you here Rick. Hope you can be down here in Florida next year!

12:35
Tour-Type and SK Modifieds practice and race together this week due to low standalone SK car count. There is a “best in class” win available for an SK in the feature.
12:35
Comment From Andy S 

Can you just confirm your 12.29 post – is that a combined Tour/SK mod feature or 2 seperate features? I’m assuming the latter, but it reads a little confusing.
12:34
Here comes the #2x of Ryan Preece, driving his grandfather’s machine after his primary #40 was destroyed in a crash Saturday night.
12:33
Also see the #9 of Donnie Noll, in a second Hillbilly Racing machine coming out to practice.
12:33
Pratice about to get started for Tour-Type/SK Modifieds. We see five ready to practice – Emerling, the Goodales, John Jenson and Dave Cranmer
12:32
Last night Kyle Benjamin won his first ever Super Late Model race in impressive fashion, leading all 30 laps of the SLM feature. Our crew wants to give a quick nod to something impressive he did after the race. After friends, family, and race fans everywhere tweeted to him on Twitter to congraluate him, Mr. 14-year-old Benjamin took the time last night to go back and reply to all those comments with thanks. Pretty classy.

In addition, we would like to take a moment to thank Gary Yeomans Ford who stepped up this weekend in a big way and has sponsored the track’s timing and scoring, which will save racers transponder rental money.

We at Speed51.com get a ton of emails, tweets and Facebook messages asking for some publicity for drivers, series and tracks. Much of the news-worthy stuff ends up on one of our outlets. Sometimes, we do take their advice and make them a feature story or do something cool to promote what they have going on.

Now, we want to step up our coverage and publicity for drivers throughout North America to continue bringing fans the most comprehensive short track racing coverage on the web.

To do that, we need your help for two new areas of Speed51.com. Sign up for our Speed51.comDriver Database and Social Media directory. It’ll help you get some story ideas through us at 51 and some new fans when we publish the social media page.
