Gregg Satterlee Claims First LOLMDS Victory in Thrilling Fashion

Indiana, Pennsylvania (04/25/16) – Gregg Satterlee added another accolade to his list of career accomplishments on Saturday night, and he did so in thrilling fashion. The Indiana, Pennsylvania driver shot past race leader, Scott Bloomquist on the final lap on his way to the $12,000 victory with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series at Hagerstown Speedway.

“I’ve won a World of Outlaws features, but I had never won a Lucas Oil feature and I wanted it bad,” said Satterlee in victory lane. “To win my first Lucas Oil race by passing a legend like Scott Bloomquist on the last lap, just makes it that much more special.”

Heading to the east coast, Gregg Satterlee was one of 35 Super Late Models signed in on Saturday at Hagerstown Speedway (Hagerstown, Maryland) for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) sanctioned event. Capturing a heat race victory in his Satterlee Petroleum Distributors #22 Rocket XR1/ Durham Racing Engine Super Late Model, Gregg earned a front row starting spot for the 60-lap, Stanley Schetrompf Founders Day Classic A-Main, starting alongside Jimmy Owens.

Battling in contention for the lead throughout the race, Satterlee made his move exiting turn two on the final lap, passing Scott Bloomquist to reel in the $12,000 payday. Winning his first ever LOLMDS race, Satterlee was trailed across the finish line by Bloomquist, Tim McCreadie, Jonathan Davenport, and Rick Eckert.

Gregg now turns his attention to a couple of Bluegrass State events as he plans to travel to Kentucky this weekend, April 29-30 to enter a pair of Old Man’s Garage Spring Nationals events. Friday evening will take the team to Ponderosa Speedway (Junction City, Kentucky), while Saturday’s action will be held at the King family-owned, Florence Speedway (Union, Kentucky).

Loudon, Tennessee (4/25/16) – Loudon, Tennessee's Cory Hedgecock enjoyed a great weekend of racing in his home state by topping a pair of feature events in his familiar #23 Late Model.

Cory returned to the driver’s seat of the Eagle Racing Engines #23 B1 by Brucebilt Steelhead Late Model at I-75 Raceway (Sweetwater, Tennessee) on Friday for a weekly racing series program. Recording the second fastest time in a field of ten cars, Hedgecock earned a front row starting spot for the feature, starting alongside Jason Manley. Working his way to the front, Cory picked up his sixth win of the season with Jesse Lowe and Josh Fields trailing him across the finish line.

With 22 cars signed in, Hedgecock posted the third fastest time in qualifying. Battling back and forth with Trevor Sise for the lead in the A-Main, Cory pulled away in the final laps reeling in his seventh win of the season with Sise, Jason Welshan, Jason Cardwell, and Dakotah Knuckles rounding out the top five.

“This new B1 by Brucebilt was on spot all weekend,” said Hedgecock. “I want to thank my sponsors, crew, and fans for their great support. Without them these wins would definitely not be possible.”

Kyle Beard Sweeps MSCCS Weekend; MARS Up Next

Trumann, Arkansas (04/25/16) – Kyle Beard has been close to winning races with the Mississippi State Championship Challenge Series (MSCCS) Super Late Models throughout his career, but has never quite been able to find his way to victory lane. He emphatically changed that statistic over the weekend by sweeping both MSCCS events in the Magnolia State in his Gary Beard Trucking #86 Black Diamond Race Car/ Kuntz & Co. Racing Engine Super Late Model.

“This was just an incredible weekend, and our car was so good,” said Beard. “This new Black Diamond Race Car has been awesome since we debuted it back in January in Arizona. I honestly believe this will be the first of several wins this year for our team, and I just want to thank my crew for their hard work.”

On Friday night Kyle Beard headed to Hattiesburg Speedway (Hattiesburg, Mississippi) for the Mississippi State Championship Challenge Series (MSCCS) sanctioned event. In his debut at the facility, Beard posted the fastest time in qualifying. Kyle then earned a front row starting spot for the $2,000-to-win feature following the dash. Dropping back to 5th on the first lap, Kyle worked his way back up to 2nd with 10 laps remaining. Taking the lead from Bub McCool on the 37th lap, Kyle Beard went on to capture his first win of the season with McCool, Brian Rickman, Keith Miller, and Jason Taylor trailing him across the finish line.

Continuing with the MSCCS, Kyle Beard traveled to Jackson Motor Speedway (Byram, Mississippi) on Saturday night for the Cliburn Tank Lines 50. Competing in a field of thirty-three Super Late Models, Beard earned the 4th-starting spot for the $2,500-to-win, A-Main. Working his way to the front, Kyle overtook David Breazeale on the 26th lap en route to picking up his second win in as many days. David Breazeale, Bub McCool, Jon Mitchell, and Allen Tippen rounded out the top five in the main event.

Full results from these events are available at www.StateSeries.com .

The upcoming weekend, April 29-30, will take Kyle to Missouri for a pair of Mid America Racing Series (MARS) Super Late Model events.

Rilat Nets Best World of Outlaws Result at Devil's Bowl during Texas Outlaw Nationals

Inside Line Promotions - MESQUITE, Texas (April 25, 2016) - Travis Rilat was on pace for a pair of top 15s last weekend with the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series before his finale was cut short because of a mechanical problem.

"It wasn't too bad of a weekend at all," he said. "Unfortunately we ended on a sour note."

Rilat opened the Texas Outlaw Nationals doubleheader at Devil's Bowl Speedway on Friday by qualifying 19th quickest. He quickly rallied from his seventh starting position in a heat race to a battle for third place before ending sixth.

"We lost some air in the right rear tire and that screwed things up so we hung on to transfer into the feature," he said.

It was good enough to lock Rilat into the 16th starting position for the main event.

"We pretty much ran where we started for most of the race," he said. "We'd gain a couple of positions and then lose a couple of spots. We ended the night moving forward so that's always a positive."

Rilat finished with a 14th-place result, which was his best World of Outlaws result at the track.

The weekend wrapped up on Saturday with Rilat qualifying 21st quickest.

"That's about the usual for me going to a time trial show," he said. "It's real tough when you don't run many shows that qualify. We need to go run several nights in a row to get better. Plus, I'm not a good qualifier anyhow. It gets better if you can run a few nights with them."

Rilat advanced from seventh to fifth place in a heat race to start the $20,000-to-win main event on inside of the eighth row.

"We passed a couple of cars, but the motor let go a few laps into the race," he said.

Rilat was credited with a 24th-place finish after exiting the track early.

He will take this weekend off before resuming ASCS Gulf South Region action on May 6 at Heart O' Texas Speedway in Waco, Texas, and May 7 at Golden Triangle Raceway Park in Beaumont, Texas. Rilat is ranked fifth in the championship standings - only 22 points out of the lead.

QUICK RESULTS -

April 22 - Devil's Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, Texas - Qualifying: 19; Heat race: 6 (7); Feature: 14 (16).

April 23 - Devil's Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, Texas - Qualifying: 21; Heat race: 5 (7); Feature: 24 (15).

Sides Closes Texas Outlaw Nationals at Devil's Bowl Speedway with Top-10 Finish

Inside Line Promotions - MESQUITE, Texas (April 25, 2016) - Jason Sides capped the Texas Outlaw Nationals with a top-10 result on Saturday at Devil's Bowl Speedway.

It was a great end to a solid doubleheader for Sides, who has four top-10 finishes in his last six World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series races.

"It wasn't too bad of a weekend," he said. "For all the rain they had the race track was in pretty good shape."

The event began on Friday with Sides qualifying seventh quickest. He then finished where he started - third - in a heat race to narrowly miss locking into the dash.

"We just missed it ever so slightly," he said. "That started us one spot out of the dash in the feature. We got going around the bottom and it was pretty good early. Then the track widened out. I'm not sure if it laid a little rubber or got cleaned off where you could run around the top. I stayed on the bottom too long. There were some ruts on the bottom in turns three and four so you had to be really careful. I fell back to 13th or 14 th, but got a couple of cars back to finish 12th."

The doubleheader concluded on Saturday with Sides setting quick time during qualifying for the first time this season.

"We were the third car out, which was a plus," he said. "That also put us on the pole of the first heat. I think the earlier heats were a little better because the track didn't dry out as much. We were really good around the bottom in turns one and two. In turns three and four you could run anywhere. I got the heat win to make the dash."

Unfortunately, the dash draw didn't fall in his favor. The highest number - six - was pulled to start Sides on the outside of the third row. He finished in that position to start the $20,000-to-win main event sixth.

"I fell back a few spots," he said. "On some of those restarts they get so hairy. Late in the race we had a red flag and we had lost a few spots. We gained a few spots back with those late yellows. The tires were still up, but they were blistered real bad. I got a little loose and I think we lost some air in the left rear and we gained some stagger. We were up to sixth, but Brad Sweet got us at the end and I hung on to seventh."

The seventh-place result marked the second straight year Sides has wrapped up the prestigious event with a top 10.

He will resume World of Outlaws action this Tuesday at I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Ark., before races on Friday at Salina Highbanks Speedway in Salina, Okla., and Saturday at Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55 in Pevely, Mo., for the Spring Classic.

Sides has never raced with a 410ci engine at I-30 Speedway, which is hosting its first World of Outlaws race in more than 20 years. Additionally, he placed second last year during the Spring Classic.

QUICK RESULTS -

April 22 - Devil's Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, Texas - Qualifying: 7; Heat race: 3 (3); Feature: 12 (7).

April 23 - Devil's Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, Texas - Qualifying: 1; Heat race: 1 (1); Dash: 6 (6); Feature: 7 (6).
