| Buzzie Reutimann Takes Wild Ride at Volusia Speedway Park |
| Barberville, FL (June 20, 2009) No rain in sight this time at Volusia, only hot, hot weather. But fans were extremely happy to find a new vendor on the grandstand side who had shaved ice and boy, was the line long all night at their trailer. I expect the lines will get even longer as the summer heat gets worst thru the coming months. The first 200 Dad's thru the front gates got new hats in honor of Father's Day. Plus during intermission, one dad had his recliner on the track for an exhibition show of recliner racing. Fans got a slight delay in the night's action as it took alittle longer to get the track just right for racing but once it was done, no one was disappointed in the night's action. The big race of the night was the Modified 30 that paid $1000 to win. Twenty six Modifieds made their way to Volusia for this event including Buzzie Reutimann who is well known for his driving skills in a Modified and also the father of NASCAR'S David Reutimann.

| Cobb Conquers East Bay Late Models |
| After nature had washed out the original date for the 14th Annual Powell Memorial, no one was sure who might show up to watch the most prestigious dirt late model race in Florida. Changed plans often means that some may not be able to switch to a new date, and yet over four thousand excited fans filled the grandstands at the historic Ocala Speedway and witnessed yet another memorable performance by the United Dirt Late Model Challenge Series. In addition, Ocala Speedway's own Amsoil V8 Thunder Stocks turned out in force, and were joined by a solid group of Mini Stocks. Forty late models qualified for the Powell Memorial, with Jack Nosbisch claiming the fastest lap with a very quick 15.796. After heats and two B main events, the field was whittled down to 24 top late models, which were led by pole sitter Keith Nosbisch to the green flag. Keith Nosbich would battle for the lead with Ivedent Lloyd through the early laps, only to have an unspecified problem end his night early. Mark Whitener also battled his way into the More.... |

| The fans were on their feet as the 25-lap South Shore Auto Sales Late Model feature hustled to its conclusion. Phillip Cobb and Jeff Mathews engaged in a doorslamming side by side battle for the lead that saw Cobb edge point leader Mathews, picking up his first win of 2009. Cobb had started the event in front, but lapped traffic stymied his effort for a wire to wire run. The backmarker forced Cobb to check up, opening a lane for two-time feature winner Josh Peacock. The new leader kept it for one circuit before Cobb hunched back over the wheel to snatch the top spot. He was in command until Mathews came calling and the sparks were flying as these two dueled to the finish. Peacock watched from third with Devin Dixon moving from 18th to fourth at the finish. Ted Erskine, who stayed in the top five for the entire race, was fifth. Cobb revealed that his car had been damaged on Friday night and the crew worked all day to make the East Bay show. Heats were won by More..... |
