RJ Anderson Podiums Round 3 &4 in his new Polaris RZR XP900


Congrats to all who were able to compete and especially those who finished! Very cool to see our boy Doug Mittag of Team COD take the top of the podium in SR1 with Corry Weller and John Dempsey right there for 2nd and 3rd on Saturday. Doug then came back Sunday taking the top spot AGAIN with Bronco Dan Kelley coming in a close second in his new Kawasaki ZX10 Teryx with first lady of UTV Corry Weller rounding out the podium. She also had a solid weekend!

Another small tournout in Unlimited UTV and Team Monster Energy Kawasaki / Funco's Chad George will add to his points lead with a solid finish on top Saturday! Our boy RJ Anderson recovered from a rough rd 2 accident, completely rebuilt that Walker Evans Racing Polaris RZR XP and came out and showed that he and his car are back!! RJ Took second with another UTVUnderground Team Driver Tyler Winbury in his Wagon Burners / R-N-R Steel / UTVUnderground Kawasaki Teryx rounding out the podium for 3rd place. Sundays round got a bit more interesting with Bobby Vanbeekum having to borrow his old XMF Teammate Austin Kimbrell's Monster Energy Kawasaki Teryx to compete. This paid off getting Bobby on the box for a 3rd place finish. RJ Anderson would again lock down the second position with one of our favs landing the top spot Tyler Winbury! We can;t say enough about Tyler and his team as well as Bobby Vanbeekum for making sure Tyler was able to run. After a disappointing second round at LOORRS we were unsure if Tyler would run again this season but the Wagon Burners came back and got 2 solid finishes for the weekend putting them right back in the points running!! So even though we are only seeing 4 Unlimited UTV's running thus far its a tight battle between them all at this point!

I was bummed to hear that LSR lost a transmission preventing them from competing the rest of the weekend. I also heard that Dan Kelly's new XMF built ZX10 powered SR1 was protested on Saturday forcing him to race his back up SR1. I am sure there is other goos stuff so hopefully the racers and teams will chime in!!


Thank you to Ryan Torres of Ryan Torres Photography and Vinny Knakal of Mad Media for covering UTVUnderground.com on the track and braving the HEAT!

Points Contenders Step Forward in Round 3
Lucas Oil Off Road Series Pro-2 & Pro-4 Moving Forward

Racing action resumes this weekend as the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series, presented by Geico Powersports, returns to its most familiar track, the Speedworld Off Road Park in Surprise, AZ. Lying at the northwest corner of Phoenix's urban sprawl, this track is always a great place to come back to, with warm temperatures and soothing breezes almost a guaranteed welcome. The stands were a nice place to be, as fans were again treated to a day of great racing, including some hotly-contested battles in the big truck classes. The points contenders are really coming to the fore now, and in case you couldn't make it or listen in, here's what you missed.

Junior 2 Kart
The first race of the weekend was that of the Junior 2 Karts. Myles Cheek and Maxwell Ries started from the front row, and after some first lap confusions led to a full restart of the race, it was Cheek in his #457 CMI/Specialty Fasteners kart leading Chad Graham and his #410 Hart and Huntington/MavTV machine at the end of lap one. In third it was Ries in the #474 ProAm/Fleming Racing Engines kart, followed by Brock Heger in the #411 Brock Heger Racing/Racer X Motorsports truck (fourth), and Jeremy Davis in the #485 Green Army/Simpson entry (fifth). Cheek and Graham were running nose-to-tail in a close battle for the lead, and they maintained their battle all the way to the competition yellow, at which point the order in the top five was still the same. After the restart, Graham's pressure on Cheek seemed to go away slightly, and Cheek ran a little more safely in the lead. Near the end of the race, however, the top three tightened right up, but Cheek held tough to take a wire-to-wire win. Graham and Ries finished close behind in second and third, ahead of Heger in fourth and Davis in fifth.

Junior 1 Kart
Next up were the Junior 1 Karts, and it was Eliott Watson who turned his pole starting position into the early lead in his #203 UPR Racing Supply/RC10.com kart. In second it was Broc Dickerson in the #223 Rockstar/Eibach Springs machine, followed by Conner McMullen in the #288 Monster Energy/Bully Dog entry, Wolfgang Ries in the #273 ProAm/iTi Performance Motorsports truck, and Corey Geiser in the #245 Geiser Bros Design and Development/Canidae kart. Jack Yeiser moved his #244 Fiberwerx/General Tire machine up to fifth on lap two, and after this, the top five began to gradually string out as they ran towards the competition yellow. Once the Can-Am Commander pace vehicle pulled out to bunch up the field under the competition yellow, it was still Watson, Dickerson, McMullen, Ries, and Yeiser in the top five. The order up front remained the same once green flag racing resumed, but on lap eight, McMullen pulled off the track with an unknown issue, promoting Ries, Yeiser, and Travis PeCoy up to third, fourth, and fifth. From there on in, the top five drivers held their positions, with Watson taking the win after leading the entire race. Second went to Dickerson, third, to Ries, fourth to Yeiser, and fifth to PeCoy in the #211 K&N/Hoosier machine.

Modified Kart
The much-anticipated Modified Karts rolled out on track next, with Mitchell DeJong starting his #1 Speed Racing LLC/Traxxas machine next to Mitch Guthrie Jr.'s #555 Walker Evans Racing/Kar Tek truck on the front row. These two split the wins at Firebird, so it was no surprise to see them running one-two at the end of lap one, with DeJong holding the early advantage. In third it was Jerett Brooks in the #527 Synergy Electric Racing/Maxima Racing Oils kart, with Myles Cheek fourth in the #557 LAMB Energy/Jammin'Products.com entry, and Brock Heger fifth in the #511 MasterCraft Safety/Signpros machine. Sheldon Creed moved up to fifth in his #522 A.M. Ortega/Team Associated kart on lap two, then up to fourth with a strong run through the mogul section on lap four. Later that same lap, Brooks dropped to the back of the pack with what must've been a spin, thus promoting Creed to third and Jeff Hoffman to fourth in the #547 Venture Four Racing/BRT Signs entry, with Cheek now running fifth. Just ahead of the competition yellow, Bradley Morris jumped up to fourth in the #504 K&N Filters/Kicker kart, and at the competition yellow, it was DeJong, Guthrie Jr., Creed, Morris, and Cheek in the top five. Shortly after the restart, Brooks and Chad Graham got tangled up with one another, literally, and after officials tried for several laps to get them unstuck, they were forced to bring out a full course yellow to allow course workers to safely get the situation resolved. Once green flag racing resumed, the order in the top five was still the same, but on the final lap, Brooks got caught up in a race with Cheek, Heger, and Scotty Steele, who were all on the lead lap and battling for fifth place. In all the chaos, Steele came away the best of the three lead lappers, and came to the checkered flag in fifth place. Up ahead, DeJong took his second win of the season, ahead of Guthrie Jr., Creed, and Morris.

UTV
After qualifying at the top of the UTV field yesterday, Code Rahders was strangely absent for the start of today's UTV main event, which left RJ Anderson all alone on the front row in his #637 Walker Evans Racing/Kroyer Racing Engines Polaris. Young Doug Mittag, however, was the driver leading the pack at the end of lap one in his #848 Custom Off Road Design/GHA Rentals.com Yamaha, ahead of Anderson, Tyler Winbury, Corry Weller, and Chad George. Weller moved her #810 Weller Racing/Tilted Kilt Yamaha up to third on lap two, while up at the head of the field, Mittag was in a league of his own and quickly pulling out a lead. Weller then took over second spot as she simply drove past Anderson down the front straight heading into lap four. George was next to move up, taking over fourth in his #1 Monster Energy/Funco Kawasaki, just ahead of the competition yellow. After the restart, Mittag had soon re-gained his gap over those chasing, while further back, his teammate John Dempsey was now up to fifth in his #855 Dempsey Construction Inc./Fox Racing Shox Kawasaki. George then moved up to third, and first in Unlimited UTV, with the white flag poised to wave. With one lap to go, it was Mittag, Weller, George, Anderson, and Dempsey in the top five. Anderson was determined to re-take his top spot on the last lap, and pulled off a great outside/inside pass on George going through turn four, but George was able to pass Anderson right back going into the final turn. George then protected his line well, moving wide to hold off any chance of a last-minute pass by Anderson, and he took the Unlimited UTV win, placing third overall. Up ahead, Mittag picked up a perfectly-driven race win, taking the overall and the SR1 top spots. Second in SR1 and overall was Weller, followed by George, Anderson (second in Unlimited UTV), and Dempsey (third in SR1). Winbury rounded out the Unlimited UTV podium by finishing eighth overall.

Limited Buggy
The final race before Opening Ceremonies was the Limited Buggy race, which saw Quentin Tucker and Bradley Morris start from the front row. John Fitzgerald, yesterday's top qualifier, found his way up to first place by the end of the first lap in his #314 BFGoodrich Tires/Wik's Racing Engines buggy. Morris ran second in the #304 Lucas Oil/K&N buggy, ahead of Tucker in the #377 Blanco Basura/General Tire machine, Curt Geer in the #385 Gatorwraps.com/VP Racing Fuels Lothringer, and Kevin McCullough in the #389 Gear One/General Tire entry. Up front, Fitzgerald was quickly opening up a gap on the rest of the field, while further back, Dave Mason had now worked his way up to fifth spot in the #365 D&R Buggie/Eleven Western Builders AlumiCraft. Fitzgerald continued to build his lead through the competition yellow, at which point he held a sizeable advantage over the rest of the pack. Morris and Tucker still ran in second and third, with Geer still fourth and Mason fifth. On the restart lap, Morris had a great getaway to grab the lead from Fitzgerald. Morris then stuttered for just a moment in turn four, causing the entire field to stack up behind him. Fitzgerald and Geer were the two who were caught out worst in the chaos, and they were dropped well down the order. Morris didn't get away without consequence either; a right rear flat was his punishment, which forced him into the hot pits for a change. After all this, it was Mason who inherited the lead, with Geoffrey Cooley now second in the #322 Competitive Metals/USA Wheel AlumiCraft, McCullough third, Tucker fourth, and Dillon Ayers fifth in the #398 Gear One/Foddrill Motorsports buggy. Zac Hunt then moved up to fifth on lap twelve in his #334 Speed Energy/Concrete Coring Company machine, and with the white flag in sight, it was a battle of the young guns up front. Cooley was really pressuring Mason for the lead, and it seemed to be getting to Mason a bit, as he looked a little wild in some spots. However, it was Cooley who cracked on the final lap, spinning out in turn four and dropping back to seventh. This left Mason clear to take run to the checkered flag, where he picked up his first win in this class, and indeed his first win in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series- well done Dave! Second went to Tucker, third to McCullough, fourth to Hunt, and fifth to Geer, who clawed his way back after the incident on the restart lap.

Pro 4 Unlimited
With the first half of the day's action already done, the schedule broke for opening ceremonies, during which the crowd was treated to an unbelievable performance of The Star Spangled Banner by young Ariana Nieto. Take it from this reporter: with such a powerful voice, this young lady surely has a promising future.

The crowd was already amped up as the Pro 4 Unlimiteds rolled out on track, and as the field fired their engines in unison, everyone in attendance was excited to go racing. Johnny Greaves and Adrian Cenni started from the front row, and it was the #16 Monster Energy/ReadyLift Toyota of Greaves who came out ahead at the end of lap one. Cenni ran second in his #11 Atrium Payroll/Metal Mulisha Ford, with Ricky Johnson third in the #48 Red Bull/BFGoodrich Tires Ford, Rick Huseman fourth in the #36 Monster Energy/ Toyota, and Carl Renezeder fifth in the #17 Lucas Oil/General Tire Ford. Huseman and Johnson just touched in midair out of turn five on lap two, and Huseman came away better as he moved up to third place. Up front, Greaves was simply hooked up, and nobody seemed to have anything for him as he continued to lead. As the laps clicked off, Huseman began having a few looks down the inside of Cenni, but a spin in turn two on lap nine dropped him back down to fourth. At the end of lap nine, the competition yellow came out, and Greaves was still the leader, ahead of Cenni, Johnson, Huseman, and Renezeder. Huseman returned to third on lap eleven, with Kyle LeDuc moving up to fifth on lap twelve in his #99 Rockstar/Makita Ford. Cenni then found a chink in Greaves' armor on lap 13, and he took the lead as some sort of intermittent problem began to slow Greaves from time to time. Just behind, some great racing was going on between Huseman, Johnson, and LeDuc, and these three were soon by Greaves and into second, third, and fourth with just a handful of laps left. Cenni then nearly spun coming out of turn one, which handed first and second over to Huseman and LeDuc. Another mistake, this time a bicycle in turn two on the following lap, could've been more costly for Cenni, but he managed to hold third as Johnson pulled out of the race. With one lap to go, LeDuc was now trying to hunt down Huseman for the lead, but Huseman had finally settled down after some over-driving in the early part of the race, and he held on to take the win, his third from three races so far this season. Second went to LeDuc, third to Cenni, fourth to Renezeder, and fifth to Steve Barlow in the #83 Roush Yates Engines/Maxxis Tires Ford.

Pro Buggy Unlimited
The big boys of open wheel were up next: the Pro Buggy Unlimiteds, and the front row featured Mike Porter and his #8 Redline Performance/Mickey Thompson AlumiCraft next to the #5 Select Glass/ProAm Foddrill of Jerry Whelchel. Porter jumped out to the early lead on the first lap, with Rich Ronco second in his #99 Yokohama/FK Rod Ends Tatum, Steve Greinke third in his #23 SC Fuels/Southern Counties Lubricants LLC Racer, Eddie Tafoya fourth in the #51 Specialty Fasteners/Crower Lothringer, and CJ Greaves fifth in his #33 Traxxas/Oakley AlumiCraft. The top five held their spots through lap four, when Ronco began to slow slightly. This dropped him out of the top five, so it was now Greinke, Tafoya, Greaves, and Whelchel behind the leader Porter. Tafoya then pulled off the track, handing third to Whelchel, fourth to Doug Fortin in the #96 Fortin Racing, Inc./Custom Decals Racer, and fifth to Greaves. At the competition yellow, these three still held their spots behind Porter and Greinke, but after the restart, it was now Bobby PeCoy who was up to fifth in his #11 VP Racing Fuels/K&N AlumiCraft. Up front, Porter re-gained a gap over the field in the first few laps after the restart, but soon Greinke, Whelchel, and Fortin began to close down on him again, and with a lap to go, these three were looking like a real threat to Porter. However, Porter kept his cool and stayed mistake-free as he held on for the win, with Greinke taking second, Whelchel third, Fortin fourth, and PeCoy fifth.
Super Lite

The "arrive and drive" Super Lites were up next, and it was Austin Kimbrell who passed both the front row starters to grab the early lead in his #88 Kimbrell Racing truck. Pat Clark was running second in his #25 BFGoodrich Tires/Mazda Speed machine, followed by Chad George in the #42 Kawasaki/Yokohama entry, RJ Anderson in the #37 Polaris/Walker Evans Racing truck, and Jessie Johnson in the #15 Lowe's/A.M. Ortega machine. On lap three, local driver Jacob Person moved into the top five after driving it deep into turn four in his #92 Majerle's Sports Grill/Quick Lane entry. On the same lap, Clark went wide in turn six, which let George by and into second place. Kimbrell then bobbled in turn two, and ended up turned around and stopped as the whole field passed him by. George inherited the lead, with Person now second, Anderson third, Clark fourth, and CJ Greaves fifth in the #33 Torchmate/Maxxis machine. Just ahead of the competition yellow, Clark spun and held up Greaves in the process, dropping them both several spots, and leaving the order as George, Person, Anderson, Johnson, and Brent Fouch in the #21 Forgiven Energy/BionicCigs.com truck.

After a crazy restart, the top five was surprisingly similar as the drivers crossed the start/finish line again. George, Person, Anderson, and Johnson still held first through fourth, with Greaves back up to fifth. George seemed to slow briefly, which allowed Person and Anderson to go by into first and second. Greaves then picked up a spot to move into fourth on lap 11, and a spin by Johnson in turn four allowed Kimbrell to re-enter the top five. The race then saw a full course caution for a rollover in turn two, and once this was cleared, the field enjoyed a brief run at green flag racing before a huge rollover on the restart by Matt Cook forced another full course caution. Cook was ok and racing resumed, with just two laps left to run. After the restart, Anderson moved past George for third, with Jeff "Ox" Kargola taking over fifth in his #2 General Tire/Metal Mulisha machine. Up front, Person was having to hold off a hard-charging Greaves to keep the lead, but he managed to hang on and pick up his first ever win in Lucas Oil Off Road competition- way to go Jacob! Second went to Greaves, third to Anderson, fourth to George, and fifth to Kargola.

Pro Lite Unlimited
The penultimate race of the day was that of the Pro Lite Unlimiteds, and the front row was filled by Chris Brandt in the #82 Makita/Kar Tek Toyota and the #51 Black Rhino/Fiberwerx Ford of Ryan Beat. Beat got caught out in turn two and was dropped to nearly a lap down, but Brandt had better luck, taking the early lead ahead of Brian Deegan, Rodrigo Ampudia, Corey Sisler, and Cameron Steele. Brandt and Deegan began to go clear of the field very early, with Brandt holding a small lead over Deegan. Casey Currie took over fifth in his #2 Monster Energy/Oakley Nissan on lap four, then moved up to fourth after Ampudia went wide out of turn five and run up the outside burm. Up front, Brandt and Deegan continued to pull away, and held a sizeable lead by lap eight when the competition yellow came out. At this point, Sisler was running third in the #19 Kicker/Skin Ford, with Currie fourth and Steele fifth in the #16 Stronghold Motorsports/Yokohama Ford. A botched restart forced the drivers to do a second restart, and on the second go-around, Sisler actually got past Deegan to take over second place. Ampudia re-entered his #36 Papas & Beer/Lucas Oil Ford into the top five on the following lap, while Deegan re-claimed second place after Sisler went wide in turn four on the lap after that. Deegan was now looking like more of a challenger for Brandt's lead as the white flag came out, while smoke coming from the back of Sisler's truck became the veritable blood in the water for those behind him. In the end, Brandt stayed clear up front to take his second win of the season, with Deegan taking second. Sisler managed to nurse his now burning truck across the line for third, just before it really caught fire, forcing him to climb out to safety as emergency crews doused the flames. Behind Sisler, a mad scramble was on between Currie, Ampudia, and Steele, with Ampudia coming out best in fourth, followed by Steele in fifth.

Pro 2 Unlimited
The crowd came to its feet to watch the final clash of the day: the Pro2 Unlimited Race. '09 Champion Carl Renezeder and reigning Pro Lite Unlimited Champion Marty Hart started on the front row, with Hart's wicked-sounding #15 Monster Energy/Maxxis Tires Toyota grabbing the early lead. Rob MacCachren ran second in the #1 Rockstar/BFGoodrich Tires Ford, with Renezeder third in the #17 Lucas Oil/Team Associated Ford, Robby Woods fourth in the #99 Lucas Slick Mist/General Tire Chevrolet, and Bryce Menzies fifth in the #7 Red Bull/AMSOil Ford. Smoke was soon visible from the back of Woods' truck, but surprisingly, it was a tire that was the smoke's source, and his left rear let go in spectacular fashion, sending hunks of tread skyward as Woods pushed to hold his ground against the competition. It was to no avail, and Woods was forced to the hot pits for a change, moving Menzies to fourth and Jeremy McGrath to fifth in the #2 Toyo Tires/ReadyLift Ford. McGrath then seemed to slow slightly, causing him to drop gradually down the order, and allowing Greg Adler up into fifth spot in his #10 4 Wheel Parts/Airaid Ford. Adler couldn't hold the spot for much longer than McGrath, though, as Brian Deegan found his way by in the #38 Rockstar/Makita Ford. At the competition yellow, the running order in the top five was Hart, MacCachren, Renezeder, Menzies, and Deegan, and as the green flag waved again, Hart was off like a rocket to maintain his lead. Hart caught something of a breather as the race was temporarily red flagged to allow course workers to tend to Nick Tyree's truck, which had caught fire on the restart lap. Once the trucks were allowed to get rolling, the field spent a couple of laps under yellow before the much-anticipated drop of the green flag. When it hit, the field roared in unison once again, with Hart needing to hold off MacCachren for just a few laps in order to pick up his first win in this class. On the restart lap, Menzies got himself momentarily hooked on the back of Renezeder's truck, and though Renezeder was un-phased, Menzies was dropped all the way down the order. Deegan moved up to fourth, with Jeff Geiser slotting in fifth in the #44 Canidae/BulletProofDiesel.com Chevrolet. Up front, MacCachren was now making more and more frequent attempts to stick his nose down the inside of Hart, but kept coming up short as he would put himself on the wrong side of the track for the next corner. However, with less than two laps left, MacCachren finally caught a break, driving deep down the inside of Hart in turn five. Hart had left a little too much space available, and MacCachren pulled alongside going up to the jump out of turn five. The two just touched in mid-air, but that's all it took to upset Hart's steering, and Hart went more or less straight through turn six. MacCachren wasn't to blame, as he'd raced Hart very clean, and he cruised home to take a big redemption win after his weekend at Firebird. Renezeder took second spot, followed by Deegan, Geiser, and Rodrigo Ampudia in the #36 Tecate/Fox Racing Shox Ford.

That wraps it up for Round 3 here in Surprise. Round 4 kicks off tomorrow with the gates opening to the public at 9 a.m., and racing action starting at 11:00 a.m. If you can't be here in person, check out the live audio feed from our friends at race-dezert.com, and of course keep up with al l the latest Lucas Oil Off Road happenings at lucasoiloffroad.com.

Round 4: Surprise Plays Host to Fantastic Races​


Another day of bright sunshine, warm temperatures, and pleasant breezes greeted racers, crews, and fans here at the Speedworld Off Road Park in Surprise, AZ, as the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series, presented by Geico Powersports, returned for Round 4 of the 2011 season. A large crowd was on hand to witness another fine day of racing, which culminated in a succession of five consecutive thrilling races to close out the weekend. You really missed out if you weren't here, and if you weren't, here's our recap of the day's events.


Junior 2 Kart
Kicking the day's racing off were the Junior 2 Karts, and it was yesterday's winner Myles Cheek who came from the outside of row one to take the early lead in his #457 Lucas Oil/Fast Aid truck. In second it was Chad Graham in the #410 Hart and Huntington/MavTV machine, with Paige Porter third in the #462 Redline Performance/Advantage Boats kart, Preston Roben fourth in the #414 DCI Duggins Construction/Mad Graphix entry, and Weston Schuck fifth in the #404 NTV Newfoundland/Foddrill Motorsports truck. Over the next few laps, distinct battles formed over first, third, and fifth places, with noticeable gaps between each fight, but no drivers were able to make any headway in these battles before the competition yellow. Once the field had been brought back together behind the Can-Am Commander Pace UTV, the drivers were let loose under green flag conditions. Cheek had a slow getaway, which allowed Graham to run down the inside into turn one and grab the lead. A few laps later, Jeremy Davis simply out-pulled Schuck out of turn one to move up to fifth in his #285 Green Army/Gatorwraps.com kart. With one lap to go, the order was Graham, Cheek, Porter, Roben, and Davis in the top five. On the last lap, Roben really muscled his way by Porter to briefly grab third coming out of turn one, but Porter managed to get back by before the race's end to re-gain a podium finish. Up ahead, Graham was the big winner, taking the win ahead of Cheek, Porter, Roben, and Davis.


Junior 1 Kart
In the Junior 1 Kart race, yesterday's winner Eliott Watson made a great getaway from third on the grid to slot himself into first place in his #203 RC10.com/McKenzies kart by the end of the first lap. Second was Broc Dickerson in the #223 Dickerson Motorsports/PCI Race Radios machine, followed by the #273 ProAm/Richard Hibbard Chevrolet entry of Wolfgang Ries, Preston Roben in the #210 DCI Duggins Construction/Canidae truck, and Darren Hardesty in the #231 Hardesty Motorsports/AlumiCraft machine. As the top five drivers were each running smooth, fast, and mistake-free, they all held their positions through the competition yellow. On the restart lap, massive traffic helped Roben to jump up a spot to fourth, and also helped Travis PeCoy to move into fifth in his #211 K&N/Sunoco Race Fuels kart. After everyone settled down, the order remained the same for a few laps, but on the final lap, Roben made one more move to grab third from Ries. Up ahead, Watson made it back to back wins this weekend, while Dickerson finished runner-up for the second straight race, with Roben taking third, Ries fourth, and PeCoy fifth.


Modified Kart
The Modified Kart kids always bring about an exciting race, and today's fray was a true thriller. Sheldon Creed made a good start from the outside of row one, but it still wasn't enough to hold of Bradley Morris in the #504 Kicker/Tri State Materials machine, who held the lead at the end of lap one. Creed ran second in the #522 Team Associated/Fox Racing Shox kart, ahead of Mitch Guthrie Jr. in the #555 Walker Evans Racing/K&N truck, Scotty Steele in the #548 Simpson/DeJong Off Road Cars entry, and Jeff Hoffman in the #547 Venture Four Racing/Full Tilt Trophy Karts truck. By lap two, points leader Mitchell DeJong was already up to fifth after starting last in his #1 Speed Racing LLC/Method Race Wheels machine, while just ahead, Guthrie Jr. was really hounding Morris and Creed in an attempt to move up. On lap four, Guthrie Jr. was able to pick off Creed, and he now had only Morris left in front of him. Further back, DeJong was up another spot to fourth after a clean pass down the inside of Steele in turn one, and a spin by Creed in turn three helped DeJong pick up another spot as he moved into third. Creed battled back, though and re-took third on lap six, just ahead of the competition yellow. The running order was now Morris, Guthrie Jr., Creed, DeJong, and Steele in the top five, but once action resumed, the kids were off again like blood-thirsty sharks, darting and swapping positions every which way. Guthrie Jr., Creed, and DeJong each moved up a position as they got by Morris, who dropped down to fourth, with Hoffman up to fifth once again. Guthrie Jr. now had clear track in front of him as he began to quickly check out, while behind him, a ferocious battle was on for second between Creed, DeJong, and Morris. The fight culminated in a pile-up of sorts between the three in turn one; Morris got away pretty clean to move into second, with Creed dropping to third. DeJong came out the worst by far; his truck was pushed off the track, where it was unable to re-fire; his race was over. The order was now Guthrie Jr., Morris, Creed, Cole Mamer in the #535 Mamer Racing kart, and Hoffman with just a lap to go, but on the last lap, a rollover by Scotty Steele in turn two caught out Hoffman, who was passed by Kyle Hart for the final spot in the top five. Clear of all the goings on behind him, Guthrie Jr. cruised home for his second win of the season, ahead of Morris, Creed, Mamer, and Hart in the #523 GearUp2Go.com kart.


UTV
First out onto the full-length track were the UTVs, which again featured the dual-class race of Unlimited and SR1 UTVs. Dan Kelly, driving the #824 Xtreme Machine and Fabrication/Maxxis Yamaha, and Doug Mittag, driving the #848 Gear One/Custom Off Road Design Yamaha, started from row one, with Mittag leading Kelly at the end of the first lap. Corry Weller ran third in her #810 Lucas Oil/Walker Evans Racing Yamaha, with John Dempsey fourth in the #855 Dempsey Construction Inc./747 Ink Kawasaki, and Tyler Winbury fifth, first of the Unlimited UTVs, and piloting the #694 4130 Clothing/Deviate Films Kawasaki. On lap two, Chad George passed Winbury for the Unlimited UTV lead in his #1 Monster Energy/C&G Performance Kawasaki, but soon dropped out of the race on the following lap, ending his run for the day. Up front, Mittag was starting to run away with it, and Kelly was the only driver who was able to hang with him. By the competition yellow, the order up front was unchanged, with Mittag, Kelly, Weller, Dempsey, and Winbury running in the top five. On the restart lap, Dempsey was a little slow out of turn four (perhaps a missed shift?), and Winbury was able to get by and move up to fourth. From there on in, the top began to string out a bit, and Mittag came through to take his second consecutive win in the SR1 and the overall. Second and third in SR1 and the overall were Kelly and Weller, with Winbury fourth overall, best of the Unlimited UTVs. RJ Anderson took second in the Unlimiteds in his #637 Walker Evans Racing/South Point Polaris, with the Unlimited UTV podium being rounded out by Robert Vanbeekum in the #664 Monster Energy/Muzzys Kawasaki.


Limited Buggy
Next up were the Limited Buggies, and it was Quentin Tucker who started from the pole and took the early lead in his #377 Blanco Basura/Sara Lee buggy. John Fitzgerald ran in second in his #314 BFGoodrich Tires/Signpros machine, ahead of Geoffrey Cooley in the #322 BFGoodrich Tires/Major Performance AlumiCraft, Curt Geer in the #385 Green Army/BDI Bowden Development, Inc. Lothringer, and Dave Mason in the #365 King Shocks/SR Performance AlumiCraft. Fitzgerald quickly made his way past Tucker to take the lead on lap two, and he was soon opening up a lead over the rest of the field. Behind him, Geer was up to third after a nice drive down the inside of Cooley in turn four on lap three, while Bradley Morris was up to fifth in his #304 Lucas Oil/AOK buggy. Morris then picked up another position on the following lap, taking over fourth from Cooley. Kevin McCullough was next to move up, taking over fifth in his #389 Gear One/MDM Racing buggy, while up front, Fitzgerald now had a sizeable lead over the competition. At the competition yellow, Fitzgerald still held that lead, with Tucker second, Geer third, Morris fourth, and McCullough fifth. Geer got turned around in turn two on the restart, which dropped him all the way down to last place, and promoted McCullough to third, with Morris still fourth, and Mason now fifth. Morris was then black flagged (perhaps for some involvement in Geer's getting turned around?), which moved Mason to fourth and Cooley to fifth. Mason picked up another spot on lap twelve as he moved up to third, and with one lap to go, it was Fitzgerald, Tucker, Mason, McCullough, and Cooley in the top five. From there on in, the top five drivers held their positions through the end of the race, with Fitzgerald taking his second win of the season, ahead of Tucker, Mason, McCullough, and Cooley.


Pro 4 Unlimited
Another rousing edition of Opening Ceremonies came just ahead of the Pro 4 Unlimited race, and it included a nice invocation by Racers for Christ Chaplain Steve Hanson, and a terrific and moving performance of The Star Spangled Banner by Mary Jo Johnson. With the crowd riled by her high notes and some spectacular fireworks to back her up, it was now time to go racing again.

Today's Pro 4 Unlimited race was undoubtedly the most carnage-filled race in the history of this series; no driver was immune from trouble, and only those whose crews gave them the best trucks were able to get to the finish line. Carl Renezeder started the #17 Lucas Oil/Team Associated Ford next to Kyle LeDuc's #99 Rockstar/Makita Ford on the front row, and it was LeDuc, as if shot from a cannon, who leapt out to the lead and quickly began building a gap over those chasing. Renezeder ran in second, followed by Rick Huseman in the #36 Monster Energy/E3 Spark Plugs Toyota, Ricky Johnson in the #48 Red Bull/BFGoodrich Tires Ford, and Todd LeDuc in another Rockstar/Makita Ford, the #4. Adrian Cenni then moved up to fifth in his #11 Atrium Payroll/Metal Mulisha Ford on lap two, and as Kyle LeDuc continued to streak off into the distance, the rest of the field was starting to stack up behind Renezeder. LeDuc's efforts were in vain, though, as the race was then red flagged to allow crews to clear a fire onboard his dad Curt's truck. Curt escaped to safety, and once the fire was out and racing resumed, the order got substantially shuffled on the restart lap. First Johnson pulled off at turn two, then LeDuc slowed at turn four with a mechanical issue. Through the clutter came Huseman, who assumed the lead ahead of Kyle LeDuc, Cenni, Todd LeDuc, and Steve Barlow in the #83 Maxxis/Roush Yates Engines Ford. Renezeder then slowed with a broken sway bar and brake line, which dropped him to fifth, and helped Travis Coyne up to fifth in the #5 ProComp/Lucas Oil Ford. Meanwhile, as Kyle LeDuc continued to slow, his brother Todd then suddenly slowed as well, and though Kyle was able to continue, Todd was soon out.

The race wasn't even to the competition yellow, and several trucks were already out, but things were just getting started. Renezeder's issues continued to cost him positions, which allowed Kent Brascho to move up to fifth in his #8 K&N/Speedco Ford. At the competition yellow, the running order was Huseman, Cenni, Barlow, Coyne, and Brascho in the top five, with five trucks already out of the race. Brascho joined the DNF list while the rest of the field followed the Blanco Basura Toyota Tundra pace truck under yellow, and after the restart, Renezeder was up to fourth, with Jerry Daugherty fifth in the #23 Magnaflow/KMC Wheels Chevrolet. Huseman was looking good up front, until a spin in turn four dropped him to third behind Cenni and Barlow. Cenni ran well up front, and Barlow was also going good and holding off Huseman, who over-jumped the jump out of turn five, landing his front end on the back of Barlow's truck. No real damage was done, but on the next lap, as Huseman dove down the inside of Barlow heading into turn two, Barlow must've hooked a rut, because he suddenly flipped sideways and went for a big rollover. The race was red-flagged to allow emergency crews to tend to Barlow, who gave them the thumbs up despite a nasty-looking crash.

Once the wreck was cleared, the field began to roll again, and just as it did, smoke became visible from Cenni's machine. A green-white-checkers finish was called for, and on the restart lap, Cenni ducked to the inside of turn two to move out of the way of those behind. Cenni was obviously suffering from a major issue, and Huseman zipped by and into the lead once again. Coyne was up to second now, with Renezeder third, Cenni still moving in fourth, and John Harrah simply driving past the carnage in fifth with one lap to go. Coyne and Cenni pulled off on the last lap, as did Daugherty, with Coyne making it the furthest of the three (you'll see why that matter in a moment). Up front, Huseman was well out in front as he picked up his fourth win in a row, making it four for four this season. Second went to Renezeder, third to Harrah in the #13 Speed Racing LLC/General Tire Chevrolet, and fourth to Aaron Daugherty in the #24 Tuff Country/Racin' Dirty Chevrolet, who was the last driver moving when the checkered flag waved. Coyne's managing to crawl further than Cenni and Jerry Daugherty was to his advantage, as his efforts netted him a fifth place.


Pro Buggy Unlimited
After an unbelievable Pro 4 Unlimited race, it seemed like the atmosphere here at Speedworld needed to get calmed down somewhat, and for the first half of the Pro Buggy Unlimited race anyway, we got what we needed. Front row starters Mike Porter and Steve Greinke slotted in first and second at the end of lap one, with Justin "Bean" Smith third, Jerry Whelchel fourth, and CJ Greaves fifth. For the next seven laps, the drivers up front raced fast and clean, but didn't change position, and at the competition yellow, it was still the #8 Redline Performance/Speed Energy AlumiCraft of Porter out front, with the #23 SC Fuels/Concourse Racer of Greinke second, Smith in the #19 BFGoodrich Tires/Competitive Metals AlumiCraft in third, Whelchel fourth in the #5 Select Glass/Redline Performance Foddrill, and Greaves fifth in the #33 Traxxas/Maxxis AlumiCraft. After the restart, however, the excitement of the Pro 4 Unlimited race suddenly carried over into this race, as things took a real shakeup. Rich Ronco cracked into the top five on the restart lap, diving his #99 Yokohama/King Shocks Tatum down the inside of Greaves in turn four. Three laps later, Doug Fortin took fifth away from Ronco with some great accelerations out of turns four and five. A full course caution was then called to allow crews to clear a two-car crash in turn six, and on the restart, Fortin picked up another spot in his #96 Fortin Racing Inc./Fox Racing Shox Racer, and was running fourth when Smith and Whelchel stacked up in turn four on the same lap. This moved Fortin up to third, with Ronco now fourth and Smith in fifth. With the white flag waving, everything was looking good for the leader Porter, but a sudden blowout of his left rear tire as he approached the mogul section left Porter struggling to hold the lead. Try as he might, Porter could not fend off Greinke, who went by and into the lead with just a couple of corners to go. Behind Greinke, and with just seconds left in the race, Fortin then blew his motor, and dropped five spots as he sputtered to the finish. Up ahead, Greinke took his first-ever win in Lucas Oil Off Road- congratulations Steve! Second went to Porter, third to Smith, fourth to Whelchel, and fifth Justin Davis in the #85 TCS/Kroyer Racing Engines Racer.


Super Lite
Next out on track were the Super Lites, and it was Austin Kimbrell and CJ Greaves who started up front in this one. Neither of these two, however, could hold off yesterday's winner Jacob Person, who put his #92 Fiberwerx/Geiser Bros Design and Development truck up into first on the opening lap. Greaves ran in second in his #33 Torchmate/Maxxis machine, with RJ Anderson third in the #37 Goodyear/So Cal Super Trucks entry, Chad George fourth in the #42 Rodeo Ford/Bull Outdoor Products truck, and Patrick Clark fifth in the #25 BFGoodrich Tires/MoTec machine. Clark went wide off the jump after turn five on lap two, which allowed Kimbrell to pull ahead and into fifth place in his #88 Yokohama/Kimbrell Racing truck, but Kimbrell was passed for that same spot by the #2 General Tire/Monster Energy entry of Jeff "Ox" Kargola on the following lap. A few laps later, Greaves had a spin in turn two, which collected Anderson, but allowed George to squeak by and into second place. Up front, Person was still the leader, with George second, Kargola third, Anderson fourth, and Wyatt Kirchner fifth in the #26 Speed Racing LLC/Method Race Wheels machine at the competition yellow. On the restart lap, Kargola stuttered coming out of turn four, allowing Anderson and Kirchner to scramble past. Anderson then picked off George a couple of laps later, while Clark moved past Kargola to re-join the top five. Up front, Person was well clear out in front, and stayed there to pick up his second consecutive win, sweeping the weekend in the process, and he celebrated with a nice twist of his wheels coming off the jump at the finish line. Second went to Anderson, third to George, fourth to Kirchner, and fifth to Clark.


Pro Lite Unlimited
With three straight thrillers having gone right in a row, the drivers of Pro Lite Unlimited must've felt like they couldn't disappoint, and thus made added another exciting race to the lineup. Brian Deegan turned his front row starting position into an early lead in his #38 Metal Mulisha/Gibson Performance Exhaust Ford, with Chris Brandt, Corey Sisler, Jacob Person, and Rodrigo Ampudia in tow. Person dropped back on lap two, while Cameron Steele moved up, putting his #16 Yokohama/Stronghold Motorsports Ford up to fourth. Further forward, Brandt was closing the gap on Deegan with is #82 Makita/Total Power Toyota, and just behind, Sisler was also closing up in his #19 BFGoodrich Tires/Skin Industries Ford. Deegan and Brandt then began to move away a little, and at the competition yellow, Deegan led Brandt, Sisler, Steele, and the #36 Tecate/Fox Racing Shox Ford of Ampudia. Steele moved up to third on the restart lap, with Sisler down to fourth and Kyle LeDuc up to fifth in his #99 Rockstar/Makita Ford, but Steele then spun on the next lap, allowing Sisler, Ampudia, and Casey Currie into third, fourth, and fifth. LeDuc had stopped in turn six, and in combination with Richard Cassey's being stopped facing the wrong way in the moguls, crews were given a full course yellow to get these drivers safely clear of the track. Once racing resumed, Steele again got up to fourth, but another mistake dropped him down a spot to fifth on the very next lap. With the white flag waving, the battle was suddenly on up front. Brandt was all over Deegan, and with the crowd roaring as the two diced back and forth, Brandt even managed to nose ahead more than once. However, Deegan was a little too crafty, and made his truck, as he put it, "a little wider" in the final turn to hold off Brandt for the win. Brandt settled for "first loser," with Sisler third for the second straight race, Ampudia fourth for the third race in succession, and Steele fifth for the second time in a row.


Pro 2 Unlimited
Rounding out a great weekend of racing was the Pro 2 Unlimited race, and with a stacked field lining up behind Rodrigo Ampudia and Marty Hart, who started on the front row, everyone in attendance rose to their feet to see this brawl get underway. A big rollover by Myan Spaccarelli on the opening lap forced a restart of the race, and it was yesterday's winner Rob MacCachren who took full advantage of a second shot at the start to grab the early lead in his #1 Rockstar/BFGoodrich Tires Ford. Behind MacCachren came Ampudia in the #36 Papas & Beer/Lucas Oil Ford, with Hart third in the #15 Monster Energy/ReadyLift Toyota, Greg Adler fourth in the #10 4 Wheel Parts/Magnaflow Ford, and Jeff Geiser fifth in the #44 Canidae/Geiser Bros Design and Development Chevrolet. Hart and Adler were caught out in turn two on the second lap, which dropped them well back, and promoted Geiser to third, Jeremy McGrath to fourth, and Robby Woods to fifth. Up front, MacCachren had a bit of a gap over Ampudia, and the two were quickly getting away from the next group behind, where Geiser seemed to be holding up McGrath, Woods, and Rob Naughton just a bit. However, Geiser was driving very well to maintain his position, as he made several great moves to re-take his third place whenever McGrath managed to nose ahead. Geiser had his hometown fans cheering as he fought to maintain his podium position, but his charge was cut short when his driveshaft dropped out the bottom of his truck on lap eight.

On the next lap, the competition yellow came out, with MacCachren still leading over Ampudia, McGrath in the #2 Monster Energy/Toyo Tires Ford, Woods in the #99 Lucas Slick Mist/General Tire Chevrolet, and Naughton in the #54 LAMB Energy/Maxxis Ford. On the restart, Ampudia went around in turn two, dropping him way down the order. Ampudia's incident forced drivers to scramble to get by him, and allowed Hart to move back up to fourth, with Carl Renezeder now fifth in the #17 Lucas Oil/General Tire Ford. Bryce Menzies then grabbed Renezeder's spot on the following lap, just ahead of a full course caution, which was thrown to allow crews to clear a rollover by Phil Bollman. On the restart, Hart had his second spin of the day in turn two, and this one collected several drivers behind him. Menzies and Renezeder got through clean to take over fourth and fifth, and with a few laps left, Menzies closed down on Woods to challenge him for third place. On the final lap, Menzies was really hounding Woods, but Woods fended off Menzies' advances to keep his third place. Up ahead, it was MacCachren who kept it cool and picked up another win to make it a clean sweep of the weekend. McGrath finished second, with Woods third, Menzies fourth in the #7 Red Bull/KMC Wheels Ford, and Renezeder fifth.

Joey Dan's car was not protested on saturday. The radiator got packed with mud and overheated and we had him pull off.

Dan said on the podium Sunday when being interviewed for his 2nd place finish, that people were complaining about the car and made a point to say that "the car is legal". Why would he say that unless somebody had a problem with the car.

Rumor is that a driver complained about Dan's motor position.

It was high school drama about dans car before he even pulled it out of the trailer...the motor is moved forward mainly so a stock header can be use.
 
yes Dan's car is fast but i noticed it did not work as well through the woops as the other cars. it definately needs some shock tunning.

Yeah, they were telling him to take it easy thru them as driving it on and off the trailer was the only time it's ever run. The springs were too soft for the long arms and they didn't have anything stiffer at the track.

All that said, you sure can't take anything away from Mittag. That kid can drive!! And that car works very well. I believe he broke the utv lap record by a second. Amazing stuff.
