As far as we know, Bruce Bennett is okay, but he is being handled with extra precaution due to his young age. 
11:00
Now something has broken on Jason Boyd’s third place car during the caution and it just rolled into the frontstretch wall. 
10:58

Comment From jeff 

what happended to Riley Emmel 
10:50
LAP 35 – Bruce Benett has now inherited fourth with Ray Black, Jr. fifth. 
10:50
LAP 32 – Swain got on the outside of Boyd on the restart but got squirrelly out of two and fell off the pace. In fact, he now seems to have a flat tire 
10:49
LAP 31 – GREEN – Clouser easily clears Donetti into one, adding up a carlength lead quickly. 
10:48
One to go til green. Nineteen laps to go. 
10:46
Adjusting their schedule, track officials have decided to scrap the third practice and slightly lengthen the Super Late Happy Hour from 60 to 75 minutes. 
10:45
LAP 31 – CAUTION – Costetter spun out by himself trying to keep in the title picture. Drives away clean. 
10:44
LAP 28 – Clouser has a three carlength lead on Donatti. If he wins this race, he will win the 2011 NSS Limited Late Model title. 
10:43
LAP 27 – For the first time in a dozen laps, Boyd has clear Swain. 
10:43
LAP 25 – Fifth goes to Bruce Bennett, following by Donny Williams and Ray Black, Jr. 
10:42
LAP 23 – Tucker slow and heading to pit road. 
10:41
LAP 20 – Swain under Boyd but Boyd prevails on the high side for third. 
10:41
LAP 19 – Clouser clears Donatti for the lead. 
10:41
LAP 18 – Clouser and Donatti race side by side with Donatti useing the high line and momentum to hang onto the lead. 
10:40
LAP 16 – Swain has caught Boyd for third as Clouser continues to work Donatti 
10:40
Sergi has come to pit road. 
10:40
LAP 14 – Clouser is now second and tracking down Donatti 
10:39
LAP 13 – RESTART – Sergi and Tucker get together on the restart with Tucker doing a half-loop out of two 
10:39
Field gets the one to go signal. Zack Donatti is the leader and will start on the outside of Anthony Sergi. Rich Clouser has snuck up to 4th as he attempts to go 11-for-11 in 2011. 
10:37
Vail is okay, but his car is toast. 
10:35
LAP 13 – CAUTION – Jason Viel spins into the outside wall driver’s door first in Turn One 
10:34
LAP 12 – RESTART – Donatti gets a good jump on the restart. Sergi passes Tanker for second. 
10:33
One to go is finally displayed at the line. We will try to get the 13th lap in the book. 
10:31
Tanker and Zack Donatti will be the lead duo heading into the restart 
10:28
Costetter has returned to the track despite severe damage, hoping to salvage a title. 
10:27

Still working red. 
10:20
Actually, we have been corrected by track officials in that it is Travis SWAIN, not Travis SWAIM tonight. Swaim has run in Florida a number of times, but luckily our “Stat Boy” remembered a similarly named driver and we were able to get some phonetic emphasis added to the “N”. 
10:17
10:16

10:14
Yes, Travis is a former track champion at Caraway, but he runs down here quite often. 
10:13
Comment From Guest 

is that the Travis Swaim that runs LMSCs in the carolinas during the summer? 
10:13
Also the #11 Aaron Barsness was involved. It appears he doored Castetter, not Black, who did have some damage from the contact

This will more than likely end the championship hopes of Castetter.

The red flag is now displayed 
10:12
LAP 12 – CAUTION – Castetter has spun off Turn Two and was T-Boned on the right door by Ray Black, Jr. 
10:11
GREEN FLAG: Back to action here at New Smyrna. 
10:11
One lap to green. We have 12 laps in the books. 
10:10
One to go at the line. 
10:10
Top Five: Donatti, Tank Tucker, Michael Williams Jr, Bruce Bennett and Anthony Sergi. 
10:09
Yes, this is a fifty-lap feature. 
10:09
Comment From FRED

Tucker is in a number 15 as is Jason Boyd who is in sixth. 
10:06
Lap 4: Tank tucker works his way up to third. 
10:06
Lap 4: In the points battle, C.J. Castetter has a five-spot cushion but we noticed he has some pretty bad right door damage from the first caution. 
10:05
Lap 3: Donny Williams falls back several spot. 
10:05
Lap 1: Zack Donatti leads the first lap over Bruce Bennett. 
10:04

10:03
One lap to the restart. 
10:03

10:00
Donny Williams is the top car on the rack, but we think they will reset the lineup. 
9:59
Riley Emmel and Alan Bruns look to be done for the night. 
9:58
Right now we have no laps in the books. 
9:58
Emmel has some nose damage and some more on the right side.

He is not a local competitor here.

Mark Broat, who won the Mini-Stock title when his two challengers crashed a few laps ago has brought out another caution after a mechanical failure.

Limited Late Model Qualifying Update. Three drivers have DQed post-qualifying inspection – polesitter Rich Clouser, second place Travis Swaim (who replaced Jamie Skinner today) and fourth place Kyle Maynard. That means Anthony Sergi will start up front. We’ll have an updated lineup just prior to the 50-lapper.

The Mini Stock race restarted only to have two cars tangle in Turn One. 
8:34
The frontstretch wall and damaged victory lane signage tells of Haight’s wild ride (Speed51.com Photo)
8:31
For half of this race, Mark Broat seemed as though the championship in Mini Stocks would slip through his grasp, being well of the pace.

But lead challengers Jamie Dixson and Todd Haught just had a big crash coming off of Turn Four with each other, Haught riding the front pitstretch wall and obliterating the victory lane signage. 
8:28

Qualifying is over with Rich Clouser topping Jamie Skinner and final qualifier Anthony Sergi 
7:34
Rich Clouser has broken the 18-second barrier in qualifying and leads at halfway. He needs to finish 5 positions better than C.J. Castetter in the race to claim the title and Castetter has had a woeful qualifying effort. 
7:30
Jeff Scofield waits for practice.
7:28
Plenty more cars still to qualify.
7:27
Some of the Super Late Models are still going through tech. 
7:25
Tim Russell is working with Riley Emmel from Canada.
7:24
Jason Boyd getting set for Limited time trials.
7:23
Jason Boyd (18.343), the only driver other than Rich Clouser to win a division race this year, is the polesitter after a few cars. 
7:19
Limited Late Models qualifying began with Alan Bruns. He timed in one lap but then spun on lap two off the second corner without contact. 
7:18
However, the LLM class season championship will come down to two drivers today. C.J. Castetter has a 17 point championship cushion on Rich Clouser. Clouser has missed one race, but has won all TEN of his starts this season. Castetter and Clouser are the only drivers who have a shot at winning the title.

We will update you on the other feature races this evening as well as the points for all of those divisions as season titles will be determined tonight. 
7:15
While most of the names in this Limited Late Model class will be unfamiliar to most outside of our normal followers for New Smyrna, there are a few drivers we want to highlight:

* Jamie Skinner (#5) is the son of NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champ Mike Skinner and has made a few starts himself at the upper levels of NASCAR.

* Alan Bruns (#4B) was a fixture on the old FASCAR Goodyear Challenge Series late model tour.

* Jason Boyd (#15) was the only driver to win titles in both of FASCAR’s major touring series – the Sunbelt Super Lates and the Goodyear Challenge and led the Challenge tour in career victories with 11 wins.

* Jerry Symons (#66) was also a champion on the Challenge Series circuit, winning three times in 2002 to claim the title. 
7:10
Looks like they will do a tire scruff being qualifying gets underway. 
7:09
We’re told LLM qualifying will start in just a moment. Drivers are strapping in. 
7:05
We do appear to be running just a bit off schedule as the drivers’ meeting is just concluding and the Limited Late Model machines are still warming up for time trials.

Comment From Sarasota 

we will be there tommorrow, thx. for allowing us to keep up to date & enjoy tonights action! 
6:57
The coldest place in New Smyrna right now is the media box. It’s definitely tempting to take our computers outside into a wonderful Florida night, currently in the high 60s with a light seabreeze unfurling the flags. The weather is going to be just as nice tomorrow evening, so we strongly encourage anyone within a few hours’ drive of this facility to come on out tomorrow.
