Other Series Racing

After a disappointing 2012 season Michel (Mike) Beyore is preparing a new program for his OSCAAR Super Late Model. The veteran driver from Whitby, Ont. has had a long time to prepare for the opening day of 2013 following his final race at Kawartha Speedway in late September.

The first time Kraig Kinser visited Kings Speedway in Hanford, Calif., in 2011 he and his fellow World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series competitors battled Mother Nature right up to the feature event, with rain claiming the win that night. This time around, rain was the furthest thing from anyone’s mind, as temperatures nearing 90-degrees greeted competitors, along with one of the raciest tracks they had seen thus far in 2013.

After getting caught up by a lapped car while running fourth on Friday night at Kings Speedway, David Gravel was on a mission on Saturday night to wrap-up the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series West Coast Swing on a strong note in Bill Rose’s No. 6 Firetext Response Maxim. Gravel was able to accomplish that as he finished seventh at Perris Auto Speedway.

Cory Joyce and the No. 20 Shibby Clothing Line Chevrolet team put on a solid show for the fans at Rockingham (N.C.) Speedway after racing inside the top 10 throughout the majority of the United Auto Racing Association (UARA) STARS Series' 75-lap race at the legendary one-mile oval. With a very competitive car, the Shibby team was sidelined with just 10 laps remaining when a broken piston slowed the car and ended their day.

The race at Barber Motorsports Park turned into an exciting one with a dramatic start to the race and Ryan Hunter-Reay, Scott Dixon and Helio Castroneves running each other hard at the end. However, lost in the race was two rules that had an effect on the outcome of the event.


Cameron Hayley of Calgary, AB will be contending in two races this summer at the top level of stock car racing in Canada known as the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series.

There were no technical penalties issued following the IZOD IndyCar Series race at Barber Motorsports Park on April 7.

This past weekend, Penske Racing announced that they have added Long Beach later this month to A.J. Allmendinger's 2013 IndyCar schedule.

Earlier today, IZOD IndyCar Series driver AJ Allmendinger participated in an INDYCAR Conference Call to discuss his series debut at Barber Motorsports Park and preview the April 21 Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach.

There is no doubt that Tony Stewart, three-time NASCAR champion, is a fierce competitor. This past weekend, however, Stewart was more successful on the local short track circuit, including Williams Grove and Selinsgrove Speedway, than he was in the Cup race at Martinsville.
