Zamora Riding High In Rookie Year



Wenatchee, Wash. (August 18, 2016)–During the summer you would find a lot of 17 year olds getting a summer job, hanging at the beach or pool with friends and enjoying the time off, but for Brittney Zamora it’s been a busy summer in the race shop and on track during her Rookie Year of Super Late Model racing.

Zamora is entering her senior year at Kennewick High School in Kennewick, WA but when class resumes in a few weeks she can share a “Show & Tell” only a few teenagers could offer. Zamora ranks among the Top-5 in the chase for the 2016 NWSLMS Championship and leads the Jefferson Pitts Racing Rookie of Year standings with three races left in the season.

The second-generation driver made the move up this past year from being very dominant in Mini Stock races around the Northwest while also making selected starts in Limited Late Model racing.

Zamora has embraced the change to Super Late Model competition, she explained.

“The toughest part about driving my Super Late Model verses the Mini-Stock has to be adapting to a new driving style and racing against a group of drivers who are talented no matter where they stand in the field.”

Zamora is following in the footsteps of her dad, Mike, who was a very accomplished Super Late Model driver himself with multiple wins and a Late Model Challenge Series championship to his credit. When asked if she feels pressure following in her dad’s footsteps the young driver said it has the opposite effect.

“Being a second-generation driver, I feel it doesn't add pressure to how I do, but it just gives me more support from others since they know where I come from.”

Her debut season in the NWSLMS has been very strong so far finishing in the Top 10 in three of her first 5 races. While happy with the results so far, Zamora still aims to improve in the closing weeks of the season.

“My rookie season is going pretty good so far. We’ve had some obstacles to overcome with it being a new car and my first year, but I have already learned so much in just these past five races.”

With the NWSLMS being involved with some historic races during the year it’s been a special season so far for the youngster.

“My favorite part has to be that I’ve gotten to be in the big races this series runs. Ever since I was little I always loved watching races like the Apple Cup, Idaho 200 and Fall Classic. I love that I now get to be apart of it.”

Heading into the second-half of the season Zamora is eager to revisit some of the tracks from earlier in the year.

“I am looking forward to heading back to the tracks for the second time this year now that we know what to expect and how to set the car up. My main goal for the rest of the season is to stay in the running for both points and for rookie of the year.”

Next up on the list for the number 52, the same number her dad drove in his racing career, is the tricky and fast Spokane Super Oval for the Park Model Homes 125 Presented by CAL this weekend.

“I'm so excited for this upcoming weekend at Spokane Super Oval. Last time there we had a good car, and we're having a solid run until 6 laps to go and our motor blew. I'm hoping that this time around we have a good race that will keep us in the running for points.”

With the points battle close throughout the top-10 in the championship standings drivers like Zamora, Mitch Kleyn, Braeden Havens and Ed Thomsen will all be looking to close in on Garrett Evans and Ryan Wells in the title chase. Take those drivers and add in heavy hitters like Tayler Riddle along with a very strong local contingent and it shows you why the race at Spokane Super Oval will be a must watch event.

Action gets underway Friday with an open practice session for the NWSLMS teams. Saturday features the NWSLMS Park Model Homes 125 presented by CAL main event along with three local classes.

2016 season at Redwood Acres Raceway nearing its conclusion



By Matthew J. Sullivan

Less than a handful of races are left on the 2016 schedule for Redwood Acres Raceway. In fact, only three point paying events remain on the schedule, two for the late model division. As the season winds down, the battle for the track championship in all six local divisions promises to heat up.

The California State and Federal Employees Credit Union roadrunner division has a tie atop the division’s standings. Steve Paiment and Tyler Peach are the two drivers racing neck-and-neck for the division crown. Third place, Bethany Rapp will need both drivers to suffer serious issues to find her way back into the fight as she’s 38 points in arrears to the two leaders. Patrick Sproul is only a point behind Rapp in fourth while Dominic Vogelsang is fifth, two points behind Sproul.

James Moore has a huge advantage in the Fortuna Wheel and Brake bomber division. Moore has a 74 point lead over John Lally and appears to be a lock for the division track championship barring major unforeseen circumstances. Tyler Avelar is third in points, 93 behind Moore while Ryan Ahrens is a point behind Avelar in fourth. Rookie driver, Kimberly Sorrels is fifth in the standings, 109 behind Moore.

It’s a three man race for the title in the Humboldt Hydroponics mini stock class. Gary Klinetobe leads Eugene Palmer by only five points. Jarrett Mayo led the standings for the majority of the season but has suffered two straight races of bad luck which have dropped him to third and 12 points behind Klinetobe. Daniel Buell has been impressive in his rookie season in the division and is fourth in points, 54 behind Klinetobe. Division veteran, Rick Estes is fifth in points, 60 behind the leader.

Only four points separate first and second in the Thunder Roadster division. Veteran Tommy Payne leads rookie Ronnie O’Neil. It’s likely that the championship in the division will go down to the wire between the two drivers as they have finished near each other in nearly every race this season. Donnie Brown and Aaron Byers are 25 and 28 points behind Payne and though they are still in the point fight, it will take issues by both leaders for them to regain ground. LeRoy Marsh, Jr. rounds out the top five, 75 points behind Payne.

Robert Miller has a firm hold on the Legends division points lead. His gap over second place Anissa Curtice is 30 markers. Anissa’s father, Brad Curtice is third in points, 12 behind his daughter. Brent Mack is fourth, 60 behind Miller and rookie racer, M’Kinzy Usselton lies fifth in the point standings.

With only two races left in the Mid City Motor World late model division, the fight for position in each race is going to matter even more. Mic Moulton has a 16 point lead over Jedd Ambrosini. Marty Walsh and Richard Knight are tied for third, 21 markers behind Moulton. Kenny Demello is fifth, 35 out of the point lead.

Racing at the Acres returns this weekend August 20th for Driver Appreciation/Fastenal Night at the Races Presented by Lenox and Irwin Tools. Fans can get complimentary tickets from their favorite driver. In addition to the six local classes, the second annual Murrell 500 race will be held. Track officials also announced the return of the Fall Spectacular on October 8th and 9th. More details will be provided on the season-ending event soon. Also, the final outlaw kart race of 2016 will take place August 27th. It’s certain to be an exciting event as youngsters will take to the .110-dirt oval for the final time this season.

Lake County Drivers Sweep Features At Madera On Saturday

Darrin Knight won the North State Modified feature (Photo Courtesy Patriot Photography)

MADERA, CALIFORNIA (August 13, 2016) – Jeremy Doss and Darrin Knight both extended their points leads, taking touring series victories on a busy night at LoanMart Madera Speedway. Doss, from Upperlake, CA, and Knight, from Kelseyville, CA, both hail over 250 miles north of the 1/3rd mile speedway. Doss' win came in the MAVTV-televised Pacific Challenge Series presented by PenneyLawyers.com while Knight won the Sunoco Fuels 60 for the North State Modifieds.

Doss' win was his 18th career victory in the series. Jason Romero made his first career Madera start after sweeping both Roseville races this year. He led practice, set a new track record at a 14.162, and proceeded to win the American Racer Tire dash for a set of tires and the pole position.

Romero's pole was short lived at the start of the feature as Valley Springs' Tracy Bolin swept around the outside to lead lap one. Romero fell into the clutches of Doss for second in a back-and-forth battle until Doss spun with contact from Ross Strmiska on lap five. Lodi's Matt Wendt suffered a flat right front tire and slight damage trying to avoid the spin. Mike Beeler also was caught up in the incident.

Doss took over the lead from Bolin on the restart and Herzog used the restart to get around Jeff Bishofberger for third. Travis Milburn started turning up the heat as he got around Chris Scribner for sixth on lap 24 and then overhauled Shannon Mansch for fifth on the outside on lap 32.

The Herzog and Bischofberger battle was very physical with the drivers snaking three-wide through lapped traffic. The long 34 lap green flag run ended on lap 40 for a brief caution. Lap 41 proved to be difficult to overcome with a series of spins. Most notably Matthew Wendt suffered damage when he tangled with Strmiska.

Colby Potts suffered heavy front end damage to his Camaro and a few laps later tangled hard with Don Swartz' Mustang for a lap 45 caution. Potts was done for the evening.

All the following restarts were single file which gave Doss a cushion over the continuing battling between Bolin and Herzog. Herzog got around on the outside for second on lap 49 to turn his attention to Doss. Mansch spun with contact from Strmiska for a lap 51 caution that set up the battle to the finish.

Herzog made his mark, diving inside Doss several times and making contact in turn four to lead lap 55. Doss charged back on the outside to lead lap 56 and would not be deterred as he drove away for a 1.7 second win ahead of Herzog, Bolin, Bischofberger, and Romero for a comeback run to fifth.

Knight's win in the North State Modifieds was convincing as he led Charlie Collins in a close duel throughout the closing laps. Nick Lyons started on the outside pole and took the lead from Terry Deal on the initial start. Charlie Collins and Mike Collins navigated the pack from eighth and sixth starting positions respectively. Knight lined up on the fifth row with June 11th North State Madera winner Jason Philpot of Sacramento alongside. Knight was quickly on the move and was up into third on lap five using the outside line.

Knight then took over second with Charlie Collins up third behind him by lap ten. Lyons, Knight, and Collins staged a nice battle before a red flag when Benny Moon lost an engine in turn one. Lyons took over the lead on the restart and Collins went to work on Lyons. The battle continued until Lyons was finally shuffled to the outside line and freight trained back to sixth position.

At the halfway point of the 60 lap race Charlie Collins was in pursuit of Knight. Heavy lapped traffic in the final five laps of the season allowed Collins within half a second but never closer. Knight got the win over Collins, Philpot, Mike Collins, and Darrin Sullivan. Lyons eventually finished sixth. Kevin Barba won the dash as well.

The USAC HPD Western Midgets main event was a 30 lap main event with many twists and turns. Race winner Toni Breidinger had to do her work from the back of the field and it took her several laps to get to the front. David Prickett led early in his guest appearance before a spin that allowed Tom Patterson to take over on lap three.

Jesse Love IV stayed close with Patterson for many laps while Breidinger continued to chip away at the field. The exclamation point was a spin by Cody Jessop in the Honda house car on lap 23 that dropped him from fifth place. Breidinger seized the opportunity and took the lead from Patterson on lap 28 to take the narrow half a second victory. Her sister Annie worked her way up to third with Blake Brannon and Antonia Boscacci the top-five finishers.

The CSS 360 Super Modified race was abbreviated by mechanical problems but ended up making for a drama filled race. Clovis' AJ Russell was the odds on favorite for the race win after winning both the heat race and qualifying over Bakersfield's Justin Tuey. The main event was again a battle between the duo as Tuey led the opening five laps before Russell took over.

Tuey went up in smoke for a caution on lap nine which gave surprise hard charger Donnie Large, Jr. a chance to get Russell. Large went up the inside of Russell several times in a high speed duel that ended when Large's engine blew on lap 12. The race was halted prematurely with Russell, Large, and Austin Carter the final finishers.

Lucy Carmona got her second Toyota Sedan victory of the year leading the whole distance of the race with Mike Marley on her bumper. Erik Woods spun out on the 23rd lap of the race to set up a shootout. Carmona had no problems to fight off Marley, while points leader Jilliaun Holden slowed dramatically allowing Woods to snake through for a third place finish as well.

The MSTs opened up with wild action which caused DJ Lander to slow to a stop and forced Dennis Brannon to the pits and out of the race. After things settled down it was Kevin Thompson and Bert Stephens anchoring the front of the field. A caution on lap eight saw Rian Bowman bounce off the front stretch wall in contact with Zachary Cook. Another caution gave Bowman time to rejoin the field.

Thompson held on for a .410 second win to extend his points lead with Cook coming back to run third.

LoanMart Madera Speedway is dark on August 20th before returning on August 27th. The program includes: Race # 6 of the MAVTV Televised $1,000 to win LoanMart Open late Model Series split 50's, Race #5 of the $1,000 to win Twisted Tea Modifieds, Race #5 of the 51FIFTY Jr. Late Model Series 50 laps (split 25's), Race #6 of the Super Hobby Stock Series, MST, Toyota Sedans, 4-Bangers, Mini Cup.

Jeremy Doss Wins Madera PCS On MavTV For 18th Career Win



MADERA, CALIFORNIA (August 13, 2016) - 2012 Pacific Challenge Series champion Jeremy Doss picked up his 18th career victory at Madera Speedway on Saturday night, driving away from Clovis' Bryan Herzog for the 75 lap win. The 19 year-old Kulwicki Driver Development Program member extended his points lead by 32 points over 2014 champion Mike Beeler as well. The MAVTV-televised race will air at a later date during the "Madera Racing" program.

Jason Romero of Cameron Park made his first Madera start and first PCS start outside of All American Speedway, after sweeping both Roseville races this year. He led practice, set a new track record at a 14.162, and proceeded to win the American Racer Tire dash for a set of tires and the pole position.

Romero's pole was short lived at the start of the feature as Valley Springs' Tracy Bolin swept around the outside to lead lap one. Romero fell into the clutches of Doss for second in a back-and-forth battle until Doss spun with contact from Ross Strmiska on lap five. Lodi's Matt Wendt suffered a flat right front tire and slight damage trying to avoid the spin. Mike Beeler also was caught up in the incident.

Doss took over the lead from Bolin on the restart and Herzog used the restart to get around Jeff Bishofberger for third. Meanwhile tenth starting Shannon Mansch of Roseville was up into fifth. Loomis' Chris Scribner led a train of cars for sixth position with Idaho's Travis Milburn in the mix for that position.

Milburn started turning up the heat as he got around Scribner for sixth on lap 24 and then overhauled Mansch for fifth on the outside on lap 32. Justin Westmoreland slowed to the pits in his first 2016 PCS start on lap 36.

The Herzog and Bischofberger battle was very physical with the drivers snaking three-wide through lapped traffic. The long 34 lap green flag run ended on lap 40 for a brief caution. Lap 41 proved to be difficult to overcome with a series of spins. Most notably Wendt suffered damage when he tangled with Strmiska.

Romero was still mired outside the top-ten and made a dramatic three-wide maneuver to try to get around JR Courage. Colby Potts suffered heavy front end damage to his Camaro and a few laps later tangled hard with Don Swartz' Mustang for a lap 45 caution. Potts was done for the evening.

All the following restarts were single file which gave Doss a cushion over the continuing battling between Bolin and Herzog. Herzog got around on the outside for second on lap 49 to turn his attention to Doss. Mansch spun with contact from Strmiska for a lap 51 caution that set up the battle to the finish.

Herzog made his mark, diving inside Doss several times and making contact in turn four to lead lap 55. Doss charged back on the outside to lead lap 56 and would not be deterred as he drove away for a 1.7 second win ahead of Herzog, Bolin, Bischofberger, and Romero for a comeback run to fifth. Travis Milburn's drive from 13th starting position to sixth was good enough for the Penney Racing Supply Hard Charger.

The Pacific Challenge Series continues on to round #10 on Saturday September 3rd at Stockton 99 Speedway for the third round of the Tri-Holiday Series.

Gilliland Paces Field At Evergreen



MONROE, WASH. – Todd Gilliland dominated the field in the NAPA Auto Parts 150 presented by Toyota to earn his fifth victory of the season and his sixth NASCAR K&N Pro Series West win overall.

The 16-year-old Sherrills Ford, North Carolina, NASCAR Next driver led the field to green after winning the 21 Means Pole Award earlier in the day. He paced the field throughout the race to lead all 150 laps at Washington’s Evergreen Speedway.

The big battle came from Gilliland’s Bill McAnally Racing teammates Chris Eggleston and Riley Herbst for the runner-up spot, with Eggleston securing the spot with a pass on the backstretch with 44 laps to go.

With his win, Gilliland now has a 12 point lead over Partridge in the series championship points standings.

Gilliland joins his grandfather, Butch Gilliland, and his father, David Gilliland, on the winners list at the .646-mile oval.

Gracin Raz and Ryan Partridge rounded out the top five. While Cole Rouse, Blaine Perkins, Julia Landauer, Nicole Behar and Cole Moore completed the top 10.

The NAPA Auto Parts 150 presented by Toyota will air on NBCSN Thursday, Aug. 25 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

The NASCAR K&N Pro Series West will be back in action Saturday, Aug. 27 at Oregon’s Douglas County Speedway.
