Other Series Racing

INDYCAR announced today that IZOD will conclude its sponsorship of the IndyCar Series after the current season.

Lawrenceburg Speedway in Indiana served as the Midwest opener for the Amsoil USAC National Sprint Car Series back in April and will close that portion of the 2013 campaign for the series this weekend. For Tracy Hines, the event at Lawrenceburg will serve as one of the last two major open wheel events in his home state of Indiana that he will compete this season, before heading west to wrap up the year.

Kraig Kinser has had a good amount of success on small, tight bullrings this season with the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series. He has nine top-10 finishes on tracks that measure one-third or one-quarter of a mile in distance.

After a back-and-forth battle throughout the season, Alex Guenette has earned the 2013 rookie of the year award for the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1 by just one point over Ryley Seibert.

David Gravel has raced on more bullrings – tracks that measure a quarter-mile or third-mile in distance – this season in a 410-winged sprint car than in any other year thus far in his career. Before heading to a half-mile, five-eighths-mile and four-tenths-mile to wrap up the season with the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series, the native of Watertown, Conn., will compete once more on a short track as the series visits Fremont Speedway in Ohio this weekend, a track that Gravel has turned numerous laps at.

Baltimore, Maryland native Justin Boston will be making his second career NASCAR K&N Pro Series East start Friday afternoon in the Drive Sober 150 event at Dover International Speedway driving the Venturini Motorsports (VMS) No.25 ZLOOP Computer and Electronics Recycling Toyota.

Earlier today, racing legend and IZOD IndyCar Series team owner A.J. Foyt participated in an INDYCAR Conference Call to discuss the Shell and Pennzoil Grand Prix of Houston.

Erik Jones finished sixth to lead a group of three Venturini Motorsports drivers among the first dozen finishers in the ZLOOP™ 150, the first ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards race at Kentucky Speedway since 2009.

Taylor Ferns has had some busy days at the racetrack, but none quite like the one she had on Saturday, Sept. 21. She began the day at Kentucky Speedway by finishing 12th in an afternoon race with the ARCA Racing Series Presented by Menards at the 1.5-mile superspeedway.

Frank Kimmel endured a one-day rain delay and a career-first mistake with ThorSport Racing and left Kentucky Speedway Saturday after finishing ninth with his No. 44 Ansell / Menards Toyota in the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards ZLOOP 150.
