Ronnie Smith Gets Big Win At Five Flags
|
Five Flags Media
Ronnie Smith won his second Pro Late Model race of the season last night at Five Flags Speedway, holding off points leader Brandon Carlson in a late race battle.
After a slow start to the season, Smith now has two wins and a fourth place finish in the last three races.
"Tonight was a really good night," Smith said. "We kind of had a slow start to the season and fell way back in the points. The car's been really good here lately, and we've come back to get in the top five."
Smith took the lead from the pole and dominated the first half of the race. Keith Thorpe ran second until defending series champion, Sammy McMullen, took the position on lap-23.
Lapped traffic slowed Smith on lap-29 and bottling up the top five cars. McMullen looked to make the pass for the lead, but lost moment after making contact with Smith. The contact pulled away half of Smith's rear bumper cover.
One lap later, fourth-running Carlson made a strong move passing both John Wes Townley and McMullen on the same lap.
By the time Carlson got to second, Smith had already pulled back to another sizeable lead. Carlson didn't seem to have the speed to catch Smith, but a caution on lap-36 gave him a chance to race for the win.
Carlson looked under Smith on the restart but was unable to pull along side and had to fall back in line. He followed Smith until two laps to go, when he attempted to go inside of Smith in turn one. The move didn't stick as Carlson slid high coming off of turn two.
That ended Carlson's chances as Smith pulled away to the win. Carlson held on to second with John Wes Townley third. Thorpe finished fourth while McMullen fell back to fifth in the closing laps.
"I guess someone got into the back of me in that lap traffic," Smith said. "I could tell it did some damage, the car started to get loose after that. I really wasn't that worried though. The car was still pretty fast."
Carlson added to his points lead tonight his closes competitor, Johanna Long finished sixth.
"I didn't think I had a car fast enough to win," Carlson said. "I was really just points racing until I got to second, then I thought I had a chance. I was a little faster than him the last few laps. I just got into turn one too hard and slid high."
In the Super Stock division, Tommy Rollins Jr. made his first trip back to victory lane since making his return to racing after more than a ten year break.
Chris Cotto led early in the race with points leader James Kimbrough second, until the two made contact, sending both cars spinning in turn one.
Rollins assumed the lead and held off Brandon Harris for the win. Cotto and Kimbrough battled back to finish third and fourth respectively. Allen Pierce finished fifth.
Raymond Ray held off Randy Thompson to win the Sportsmen feature. Thomas Warren Jr. finished third with William Kitchen fourth and Bubba Winslow fifth.
Michael Kitchen won the Bomber feature, passing John Taylor with two laps remaining. Taylor finished second with Travis Fowler third.
Both Taylor and Fowler were disqualified after their cars failed post race inspections. Daryl Lynchard was moved up to second and Kenny Bullard to third.
Racing returns to Five Flags on Sept. 12 with double points racing.

Wild Action Friday Night At Five Flags
|
Five Flags Media
Brandon Carlson made it three in a row for the Carlson family at Five Flags Speedway last night, winning his second Pro Late Model feature of the season. Carlson's first win came in the previous Pro Late Model race on May 9. His father, Scott Carlson, won the Super Late Model Blizzard Series race a week ago.
"The car was perfect tonight," said the younger Carlson. "It's pretty special to win back to back with Dad. Hopefully we can keep it going."
With the win Carlson unofficially took the lead in the championship standings.
"I'm pretty sure we took the points lead tonight," said Carlson. "After missing the first race this year, I didn't know if we could win the championship, but now I'm pretty sure we can."
Carlson led every lap of the 40 lap race, taking the lead over Johanna Long on the start. While Carlson stretched his lead, fourth starting, Logan Boyett, closed in on Long.
On lap 10 Boyett made the pass on Long, but never made any ground on Carlson and never got a caution to close the gap.
"When I got to second I thought I could catch him," said Boyett who missed the last race to go to his high school prom. "But the car just wouldn't go through the center of the corner like I needed it to. We'll take second tonight, but we'll be better next time."
Long, still looking for her first win at Five Flags, finished third, scoring her second consecutive top three finish.
Brandon Odom finished fourth with Hal Martin rounding out the top five.
Defending champion Chris Cotto scored his first win of the season in the 25 lap Super Stock feature. Cotto led every lap, holding off a hard charging Tommy Rollins.
Rollins passed Shannon Jackson for second on lap 18, but came up a few feet short as he pulled up to Cotto's door at the finish.
The two made contact past the line sending Cotto spinning.
"I knew he was close," said Cotto. "I was racing hard to the finish, and then I spun myself out after it was over. I'm just glad we held on for the win."
Rollins was disqualified when his car didn't pass tech inspection, moving Jackson up to second and last week's winner, Brandon Harris, to third.
Randy Thompson scored the win in the Sportsmen feature, his fourth of the season. Thompson nearly spun on the last lap as he and Billy Hoover made contact coming to the finish line.
Thompson straightened his car back up, beating Hoover by a car length at the finish.
Bo Resmondo finished third.
Daryl Lynchard won the Bomber feature ahead of points leader Pete Kitchen and Michael Nelson.

Blizzard turns to Rain
|
The Super Late Model Blizzard Series race at Five Flags Speedway was postponed Friday night because of heavy rains and lightning.
The race, along with Super Stock, Sportsman and Bomber features, has been rescheduled for next Friday, May 30.
It started raining at 6 p.m. and continued lightning made it a concern for the safety of drivers, crews and fans.
“All local weather authorities that we were in contact with indicated that the weather was still in our area and would remain so well into the night,” said Tim Bryant, track promoter. “By the time we could have got the track in race condition, we felt it would be entirely too late

Carlson Cruises to Win at Five Flags
|
Five Flags Media
Given a second chance on a second restart, Brandon Carlson took the lead on the opening lap and never looked back, winning the 40-lap Pro Late Model feature Friday night at Five Flags Speedway.
He steadily pulled away from Johanna Long, who finished second, followed by Steven Davis, Hal Martin and Shain Cheney.
“It’s easy when you get out front,” Carlson said. “I had a great car tonight.”
Long was on the pole for the start and pulled ahead as the green flag waved. But Brandon Odom, who was second in points and won the previous race, was spun out on the frontstretch and hit the wall hard.
That forced a restart and Carlson snuck under Long when the green flag dropped for the second time.
“I was trying to go high to hold (Hal) Martin and I didn’t think Carlson would get such a good run off the bottom,” said Long.
Long had a scare on Lap 13 when she had to slow to avoid hitting a lapped car. Davis almost caught her, but she was able to keep second place.
“I thought he was going to stay high, but he drove down on me,” Long said.
Meanwhile, Carlson maintained a comfortable lead for his first victory of the season at the track.
“When you’re out front, you just gotta stay smooth, save the tires and don’t press the car too hard,” Carlson said. “I was really taking it easy, just cruising.”
Martin and McMullen, who ran fifth most of the race, spun crossing the finish line at the end of the race and Cheney slipped past McMullen for fifth.
Randy Thompson took the checkered flag for his fourth straight Sportsman feature victory, but lost it when his car was disqualified in postrace inspection.
Tina Davidson started third and took the lead on the opening lap. She stayed in front until a two-car wreck brought out the caution flag on Lap 8.
On the restart, Thompson slipped underneath her going into Turn 2. They stayed side-by-side for a lap until Thompson pulled ahead on Lap 9. Willie Kitchen followed Thompson past Davidson. Kitchen was awarded the victory, while Davidson finished second.
Pete Kitchen won his third consecutive Bomber feature.
He took the point after one lap when leader Rocky Boyd pitted with mechanical problems. Michael Kitchen was second and Daniel Webber third.
Scotty Anderson led all 25 laps to take his second Super Stock feature of the season.
He started second and passed Allen Pierce on the opening lap and never looked back. Points leader Brandon Harris finished second, passing Pierce with six laps left. Pierce was third, followed by James Kimbrough.
Racing returns in two weeks with the second Super Late Model Blizzard feature of the season on May 23.

Brandon Odom Wins Allen Turner Challenge Series Race
|
Five Flags Media
Johanna Long hoped to make it two victories in a row.
But there was a rocket man in town Friday night, and we’re not talkin’ Elton.
Brandon Odom, a 15-year-old freshman at South Walton High School in DeFuniak Springs, bolted into the lead in Turn 1 of the first lap, then led all 40 circuits around Five Flags Speedway to capture the Allen Turner Challenge Series feature for Pro Late Model cars.
Odom opened a 12-car-length lead early, fended off the closing car of Steven Davis in the late stages, then withstood a final push from runner-up Brandon Carlson to earn a spot in the USA Digital Sprint Victory Lane.
“I’ve got to thank Bubba Pollard for helping make this happen,” Odom said of fellow PLM driver and mentor Pollard, a frequent visitor to the track from Senoia, Ga.
“My spotter, Jerome Harris, kept me out front with all the right calls.”
Long, a 15-year-old freshman at Pine Forest, became the first Pensacola woman in memory to win a local region Super Late Model feature when she captured the Pigmy 100 at South Alabama Speedway in Kinston, Ala., last week.
In her next start before her hometown fans, Long qualified eighth and finished ninth.
Carlson provided most of the early intrigue. He battled with Hal Martin, finally surging into third place in Turn 3 on Lap 24.
Minutes later, Davis caught up with Odom. Davis was faster off the corner, but Odom rebuffed several challenges to remain on the point. Davis’ tires appeared spent, and Carlson stormed past the 96 Car on the back stretch to move comfortably into second.
“I just ran out of time,” Carlson said of his bid to overtake Odom.
Davis, from Satsuma, Ala., admitted he drove his car too hard too early as he attempted to chase down Odom.
“I burnt the right-rear (tire) up trying to get to (Odom),” Davis said. “We had a pretty good car.
Martin was fourth, and Bobby Reuse rounded out the top five.
Sammy McMullen was sixth while Brad Webb, the Series leader coming in, finished seventh in the 14-car field.
The next Allen Turner Challenge Series race night is May 9, when drivers will sign autographs. The second race in the Super Late Model Blizzard Series is May 23 when Josh Hamner will attempt to win his second trophy of the season.
Bomber Feature
Daryl Lynchard of Navarre led all 15 laps to score what appeared to be his first career victory at Five Flags Speedway, but a failed post-race inspection handed the victory to points leader Pete Kitchen of Molino. Tim Holland of Milton was second, while Rick Thompson of Molino rounded out the top three.
Sportsmen Feature
Series points leader Randy Thompson motored to an easy victory to pad his standing. Willie Kitchen, second in points, came across the stripe in second place but was disqualified after failing post-race technical inspection. That handed the runner-up spot to Tina Davidson, a grandmother of four, in the 81 Car. Third went to Chris Palmer.
Super Stock Feature
John Shuffler of Crestview claimed the victory after early leader Chris Cotto spun into the Turn 2 wall after hitting some liquid on the track on Lap 9. Tommy Rollins was second, followed by James Kimbrough. Cotto had to settle for ninth place.

Hamner Winner In Five Flags Blizzard Race Number One
|
38 Car Field Of Strong Super Late Models
By Joe Culpepper
 PENSACOLA, Fla. – Josh Hamner’s family has long been known for building durable racing engines.
The Alabama native now living in Pensacola obviously had the most horsepower Friday night, roaring to a 15-car-length victory over Joe Gibbs Racing development driver Joey Lagano in the Amp Energy 100.
The event was the first in the five-race Super Late Model Blizzard Series at Five Flags Speedway. Hamner took the early lead in the points championship that will guarantee two starting positions in the Dec. 7 Snowball Derby.
Hamner dove inside Lagano, 17, from Middleton, Conn., on the backstretch during Lap 86 and pulled comfortably into the lead with five circuits remaining on the half-mile speedway. Both drivers had fresh tires after temporary leader Ryan Crane of Panama City spun in Turn 2 to bring out the night’s seventh and final caution flag.
“These guys worked their tails off,” Hamner said in Victory Lane. “That’s what made it go so fast. This is the same car we had at the (2007) Snowball Derby, and it was a rocket ship.
“You’ve got to have good motors. You might not have to have the fastest motors, but you’ve got to have good ones.”
Hamner showed his dominance, leading 97 of 100 laps.
A melee involving six cars in Turns 3 and 4 on Lap 83 threatened to keep Hamner from nabbing the win. Augie Grill, from Hayden, Ala., the reigning Derby champion and winner of the Allen Turner 100 Pro Late Model season-opener last month, appeared poised to notch his third consecutive victory at Five Flags.
Grill, however, spun his tires on the restart, resulting in several cars colliding before taking the green flag. Bubba Pollard, from Senoia, Ga., assumed the lead but had to pit to change an apparent flat tire, handing the lead to Lagano.
Lagano, scheduled to make his NASCAR Nationwide Series debut at Dover, Del., in June, restarted on the point. But Hamner poked his nose in behind the youngster and needed just two laps to streak into the lead.
“I’m pretty happy with that finish,” Lagano said. “But we came here for a win. Second place is the first loser to me. We got out of the pits first there late, and I thought we had something for them. But that 38 was fast all night.”
Hamner was impressed with Lagano’s first visit to Five Flags.
“I knew I had a good car, and Joey was good, too,” Hamner said. “He’s got a lot of racing experience to be as young as he is. He’s a heckuva driver, and it was a good, clean race.”
Lagano is slated to return to Five Flags Speedway for the second Blizzard Series race May 23.
“We’re definitely going to tighten it up when we come back here,” Lagano said. “It’s really a fun place to race at when you have new tires; it makes you a rocket man out there. Then all of a sudden you’re slidin’ sideways again.”
Third went to Hunter Robbins of Shorter, Ala. Mitch Cobb of Edwards, Colo., was fourth, while Grant Enfinger of Montrose, Ala., rounded out the Top 5.
Defending Blizzard Series champion Scott Carlson celebrated his 50th birthday with a sixth-place finish. Pollard, a tough-luck loser to Grill in the Pro Late Model opener in March, was the last driver on the lead lap with a 14th-place finish.
Crane finished 24th, while Grill settled for a 27th-place performance. Adam Crawford, of Harrisburg, N.C., and the son of NASCAR Craftsman Trucks Series driver Rick Crawford, finished 34th.
Anderson tops Young in Super Stock battle
Scotty Anderson of Opp, Ala., outraced points leader Greg Young of Pensacola to the stripe to win the Super Stocks feature Friday night at Five Flags Speedway.
Anderson came into the second Super Stocks points race of the season fifth in the championship. Young collected 47 points and continues to hold the series lead with 108 points.
Former champion Shannon Jackson of Pascagoula, Miss., finished third.
Randy Thompson of Cantonment outlasted fellow co-championship leader William Kitchen of Pensacola in the Sportsmen feature to nudge ahead in the points standings after three races at Five Flags Speedway.
Thompson and Kitchen entered the night tied with 125 points, but Thompson departed with a slim three-point lead in the title chase.
Chris Palmer of Cantonment was third.
Kitchen motors to Bomber victory
Pete Kitchen of Molino drove his No. 2 car into Victory Lane in a 23-car field that took to the asphalt at Five Flags Speedway.
Kitchen entered the night second to points leader Danny Burns of Cantonment, who slipped to a seventh-place finish.
Second went to Rick Grimes of Milton, and Kenny Bullard of Cantonment rounded out the Top 3.

By Five Flags Media
Mark Chrudimsky drove 723 miles from his home in Hutto, Texas, to race in the 40-lap Modified feature Friday night at Five Flags Speedway.
He also took the long route to reach Victory Lane.
Chrudimsky survived two spins to win the feature. It was a satisfying finish after taking second place in the Modified feature in December during Snowball Derby week.
"It's great. It makes the long trip worthwhile," he said.
Chrudimsky started fifth, but pulled up alongside leader Rege Hellett on the outside on Turn 4 when they touched and Chrudimsky spun out, as well as several cars behind him.
On the restart, he was part of a multi-car spin that took out several cars, including Chris Cotto. Chrudimsky was able to drive through, and following a red-flag period, restarted in third.
On Lap 14, Chrudimsky went outside of the two leaders, Hellett and Scott Barbaric, in Turn 1 to take the lead.
He easily pulled away from that point. Barbaric finished second, while Todd Jones was third.
The 40-lap Pro Late Model feature was a caution-free, uneventful race. For the driver in the lead, that's not all bad.
Brad Webb of Wetumpka, Ala., led all 40 laps and was never challenged. He didn't even have to deal with lap traffic as all 12 cars finished on the lead lap.
"I've been out of racing for 10 years," Webb said in Victory Lane. "What a way to come back. I'll be here for every race."
Brandon Odom finished second, followed by Sammy McMullen, Hal Martin and John Bolen.
Webb started second, but slipped past polesitter Johanna Long at the start. Odom took second and they stayed that way through all 40 laps.
Martin was the fastest qualifier, but he drew a six on the dice roll to determine the inverted start and started sixth.
Mike Kitchen won the 15-lap Bomber race, followed by Pete Kitchen, Danny Burns and Michael Nelson.
Billy Hoover won the 20-lap Sportsman feature. Hoover passed Willie Kitchen for the lead on Lap 8.
Two laps later, the race was red flagged when Wayne Burkett spun and Jim Pokrant drove into him hard on the door side. Both drivers were OK.
Randy Thompson had to start 12th after his axle broke during the heat race. He moved up to third after eight laps, then got back Kitchen for second, but couldn’t catch Hoover in time.
Kitchen finished third, while Bo Resmondo was fourth.
The track is back in action April 11 with the first Super Late Model Blizzard Series race of the season.
