Other Series Racing

On a night in which Daytona International Speedway and ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards legend Bill Venturini claimed his first victory in 31 years of competing at the "World Center of Racing," Frank Kimmel was pleased to get out of town with a fourth-place finish in Saturday's Lucas Oil 200 presented by MAV TV American Real.

ARCA's offering promised to showcase 19-year old Darrell Wallace Jr, who has a lot of folks gushing but I had yet to lay eyes on him. Seemed a good enough reason as any to watch some stock cars at the big track to open the new season.

For 30 years, Venturini Motorsports has been a fixture in the ARCA Racing Series. However, one thing has alluded them - winning at Daytona International Speedway. That all changed in their 31st year at Daytona as John Wes Townley took the victory in the Lucas Oil 150. It marks the first career victory for Townley.

In a dramatic change of events late in the race, pole sitter John Wes Townley would grab the lead in the Lucas Oil 200, taking the victory at Daytona International Speedway. It marked the first win for Townley in ARCA and the first win for Venturini Motorsports in their 31 years of racing at Daytona.

When Davey Terry started the season with the OSCAAR Modifieds, there were a lot of questions of how the rookie would do.

Frank Kimmel qualified his No. 44 Ansell/Menards Toyota Camry 19th -- right about where he expected to Friday in Menards Pole Qualifying presented by Ansell at Daytona International Speedway.

John Wes Townley earned his first career Menards Pole Award in the ARCA Racing Series, leading a front row sweep for Venturini Motorsports with a qualifying lap of 49.638 seconds (181.313 mph) at Daytona International Speedway.

Earlier this year, NASCAR K&N West Series Competitor Bobby Grewohl announced a new sponsorship deal with the H2M Beverage Company to represent their 989 On-Demand product.

John Wes Townley gave Venturini Motorsports what they were looking for, at least for now. Townley, in the No. 15 Zaxby's Toyota, won the Menards Pole Award presented by Ansell for Saturday's 50th running of the Lucas Oil 200 presented by MAVTV American Real at Daytona Int'l Speedway.

lorida, February and racing have gone hand-in-hand for decades, as racers escape the cold and snow of others parts of the country to open their season in the “Sunshine State.” For the first time in her career, Taylor Ferns will have the chance to be part of the Speedweeks activities as she heads to Florida to compete in a pair of events with the USAC National Midget Series.
