Hogge Claims Bounty
Miranda, Curran Antioch Speedway Winners
Antioch, CA...April 21...Living Phat Promotions put a $100 bounty on the driver who could beat Nick DeCarlo to win the All Star Series A Modified Main Event Saturday night. The driver who came to claim the prize was perhaps the biggest name in California racing, Bobby Hogge IV. In scoring the win in the 25 lap Main Event, Hogge now has 71 career Antioch Speedway victories, one win behind Scott Busby and JD Willis on the all-time Antioch Speedway feature winner's list.
Hogge didn't come alone. 2016 IMCA Wild West Speedweek Tour champion Kellen Chadwick was there, and both drivers recorded wins and their eight lap heat races. Hogge started inside the third row of the Main Event, and reigning track champion Bobby Motts Jr set the early pace ahead of Mike Salazar. Hogge made the move into third by lap two and made a Turn 4 pass on Motts on lap six to gain lead. Chadwick made his move into second by lap eight. Though Chadwick kept up with him, he was unable to make the move as Hogge brought it home to the impressive victory. Motts settled for third, followed by tenth starter DeCarlo and Shawn DeForest. Raymond Lindeman was the other heat winner.
Alan Miranda finally scored his first career 20 lap Wingless Spec Sprint Main Event victory. It was a wild night that featured two flips. The first occurred in the first heat race when ageless veteran Roy Fisher put his car on its lid. The second occurred when division mainstay Rick Panfili and another car got together on the back straightaway, resulting in Panfili flipping twice on the opening lap of the Main Event. Fortunately, neither driver was injured in their flips, and Fisher actually made it to start the Main Event.
Miranda had a front-row start, but tenth starter Bob Newberry methodically worked his way up to battle him for the lead. Just when Newberry appeared to have made the winning pass as they worked lap 17, a yellow flag negated it. Miranda led the next restart and would lead the remaining four tours for the satisfying win. Newberry settled for second ahead of James East, Fisher and Rich Otterstrom. Eight lap heat race wins went to Shannon Newton and Brandon Burd.
Brent Curran served notice to the B Modified competition that he's going to be every bit as tough to beat as he was in Four Bangers and Hobby Stocks. Curran won the 20 lap B Modified Main Event. Luck of the invert put Curran on the front row, but he had to deal with Guy Ahlwardt and the hard-charging duo of Aaron Crowell and Trevor Clymens at various times. Clymens and Crowell got a little bit too close for comfort late in the race in their battle for second, resulting in Clymens spinning. While that was going on, Curran sped home to victory ahead of Crowell, Todd Gomez, Tommy Fraser and Ryan DeForest. Gomez and Ahlwardt each won eight lap heat races.
Michael Cooper picked up his second Hobby Stock Main Event win of the season. Joey Ridgeway set a nice pace out front during the first half of the race. Cooper slipped past Billy Garner for second on lap six and made a high pass and Turn 4 on lap 13 to grab the lead from Ridgeway. Ridgeway spun and Chris Sorensen took up the chase of Cooper. However, Cooper was not to be denied as he won ahead of Sorensen, John Wacht, Luke Brignoli and Morgan Swank, who was subbing for Cameron Swank this week. Rookie Breanna Troen won her heat race, but she made contact with the back wall on lap 19 in the Main Event and rolled. Fortunately, she was not injured. Sorensen won the other eight lap heat race.
Mike Walko won a spirited dual with Mark Garner to claim the victory in the 20 lap Limited Late Model feature. Garner was coming off his big victory in the Larry Damitz Memorial Race, but Walko would not budge from the lead. Garner gave it a valiant effort, but the crafty veteran Walko was up to the challenge as he scored a hard fought victory ahead of Garner, heat race winner, Kimo Oteta and Ryan Cherezian.
Racing resumes next Saturday night with another exciting lineup of All Star Series racing. DIRTcar Late Models are back along with B Modifieds, Hobby Stocks, Dwarf Cars and California Hardtops. This is also the third round of the Sharp Shooter Tournament for the B Modifieds. For further information, go to www.antiochspeedway.com.

Bakersfield, CA...April 20...Second generation leadfoot Brad Pounds scored an impressive victory in the 30 lap A Modified Main Event Friday night at Kern Raceway. Rob Sanders set the early pace, but he surrendered to lead to Robbie Sawyer on a lap three restart as Steve Noland settled into second. Brett Bennett took over third on lap four, and a lap seven yellow flag slowed the pace. On the restart, Sanders took the lead from Sawyer, and Bennett settled into second on lap nine with Pounds quickly into third. The lead three cars were putting on a great battle as the race moved past the halfway point. Pounds gained second on lap 19 and put the moves on Sanders for the lead a lap later. Bennett gained second Iap 25, but Pounds was not to be denied as he brought it home to a well-earned victory. Sanders settled for third ahead of Steve Noland, Shane DeVolder, reigning Merced Speedway champion Randy Brown, Chris Crompe, Karl Noland, Justin Villanueva and Andrew Berry. Brown won the first eight lap heat race just ahead of Sawyer. Sanders scored the win in his heat, followed by Kevin Irwin. The final heat race victory went to Roger Holder ahead of Pounds.
Reigning Merced Speedway champion Fred Ryland picked up the victory in the 25 lap B Modified Main Event. For much of the race, it looked like third generation racer Billy Simkins would be the winner. Simkins raced into the early lead ahead of Gary Dutton. Ryland settled into third on lap eight and took second from Dutton a lap later. Numerous yellow flags slowed the pace, but Simkins continued to hold Ryland off on each restart. However, Ryland was able to make his winning move on lap 23. From there, Ryland sped home to the win, followed by Simkins, Michael Johnson, Garrett Jernigan, Austin Manzella, Dutton, Kollin Hibdon, Austin Kiefer, Kyle Wood and Anthony Balcazar. Dutton battled Ryland to win the first heat race, and Johnson dominated the second eight lapper in front of Dylan Potter. Nick Spainhoward won the third heat ahead of Austin Frye, and the final heat race victory went to Austin Kiefer ahead of Matt Mayo.
Clinton Massey collected the win in the 20 lap Mini Stock Main Event. Shawn Schwartzenberger led the opening five tours before Massey raced ahead.

Meyers settled for second ahead of Andy Boydstun, James Coots, Kit Murphy, Schwartzenberger, Eric Loya, Michael Conway, Destiny Joplin, and Laren Meyers. Boydstun won the first heat race by slim margin ahead of Massey, and Schwartzenberger picked up the victory in the other eight lapper ahead of Coots.
Tom Dugan went flag-to-flag to win the 20 lap Bakersfield Hardtop Main Event. Dugan set the early pace ahead of Steve Sorenson and Marc McCaslin. Sorenson suffered a mechanical failure on lap nine to end his race. Even a pair of mid-race yellow flags wouldn't slow down Dugan as he brought it home to a satisfying win. McCaslin settled for second and Richard Souza won a good battle with James Bradburn for third. Justin Yadon finished fifth ahead of Josh Yadon, Jason Stanphill, Kelly Mason, Jennee Dugan and Darren Dadey. Souza won the first heat ahead of Tom Dugan, and Sorenson won the other eight laper, followed by Mark McCaslin.

Pounds, Ryland Win Kern Raceway Features
Bakersfield, CA...April 20...Second generation leadfoot Brad Pounds scored an impressive victory in the 30 lap A Modified Main Event Friday night at Kern Raceway. Rob Sanders set the early pace, but he surrendered to lead to Robbie Sawyer on a lap three restart as Steve Noland settled into second. Brett Bennett took over third on lap four, and a lap seven yellow flag slowed the pace. On the restart, Sanders took the lead from Sawyer, and Bennett settled into second on lap nine with Pounds quickly into third. The lead three cars were putting on a great battle as the race moved past the halfway point. Pounds gained second on lap 19 and put the moves on Sanders for the lead a lap later. Bennett gained second Iap 25, but Pounds was not to be denied as he brought it home to a well-earned victory. Sanders settled for third ahead of Steve Noland, Shane DeVolder, reigning Merced Speedway champion Randy Brown, Chris Crompe, Karl Noland, Justin Villanueva and Andrew Berry. Brown won the first eight lap heat race just ahead of Sawyer. Sanders scored the win in his heat, followed by Kevin Irwin. The final heat race victory went to Roger Holder ahead of Pounds.
Reigning Merced Speedway champion Fred Ryland picked up the victory in the 25 lap B Modified Main Event. For much of the race, it looked like third generation racer Billy Simkins would be the winner. Simkins raced into the early lead ahead of Gary Dutton. Ryland settled into third on lap eight and took second from Dutton a lap later. Numerous yellow flags slowed the pace, but Simkins continued to hold Ryland off on each restart. However, Ryland was able to make his winning move on lap 23. From there, Ryland sped home to the win, followed by Simkins, Michael Johnson, Garrett Jernigan, Austin Manzella, Dutton, Kollin Hibdon, Austin Kiefer, Kyle Wood and Anthony Balcazar. Dutton battled Ryland to win the first heat race, and Johnson dominated the second eight lapper in front of Dylan Potter. Nick Spainhoward won the third heat ahead of Austin Frye, and the final heat race victory went to Austin Kiefer ahead of Matt Mayo.
Clinton Massey collected the win in the 20 lap Mini Stock Main Event. Shawn Schwartzenberger led the opening five tours before Massey raced ahead. Liam Meyers followed Massey into the second position and watched as Massey steadily pulled away to a straight away advantage by the checkered flag. Meyers settled for second ahead of Andy Boydstun, James Coots, Kit Murphy, Schwartzenberger, Eric Loya, Michael Conway, Destiny Joplin, and Laren Meyers. Boydstun won the first heat race by slim margin ahead of Massey, and Schwartzenberger picked up the victory in the other eight lapper ahead of Coots.
Tom Dugan went flag-to-flag to win the 20 lap Bakersfield Hardtop Main Event. Dugan set the early pace ahead of Steve Sorenson and Marc McCaslin. Sorenson suffered a mechanical failure on lap nine to end his race. Even a pair of mid-race yellow flags wouldn't slow down Dugan as he brought it home to a satisfying win. McCaslin settled for second and Richard Souza won a good battle with James Bradburn for third. Justin Yadon finished fifth ahead of Josh Yadon, Jason Stanphill, Kelly Mason, Jennee Dugan and Darren Dadey. Souza won the first heat ahead of Tom Dugan, and Sorenson won the other eight laper, followed by Mark McCaslin.
Racing returns with another Friday night program on May 4th. A Modifieds will be back along with B Modifieds, Mini Modifieds and Mini Dwarfs. For further information, go to www.kernraceway.com.
