Bacon's $10,000 TNT Triumph Highlights Big XXX Weekend
8/24/09
Brady Bacon's $10,000 TNT Sprint Bandit win at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City,
MO highlighted a huge weekend of wins for Triple X Race Co. Other race winners
included Colton Heath, Patrick Bourke, Billy Aton, Brad Ryun, Jeremy Quick, Sean
MacDonell and Seth Hespe.
In TNT Sprint Bandit action, Brady Bacon wrapped up a hugely successful week for
the Mike & Megan Eubanks Tel-Star Communications team by picking up the big
$10,000 winner's check and pedal car trophy by capturing the series finale at
Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, MO. The win secured the series championship
for Bacon, who won three out of the four races during the week, bolstering his
410 nonwing TNT Sprint Bandit record over the past two years to six race wins in
ten races.
Seth Hespe loves his new XXX Ford Focus Midget, and it loves Seth just as much,
as the pair pulled off a clean sweep this past Saturday night at Gray's Harbor
Raceway in Elma, WA. Coming from eighth place, Hespe worked his way up the field
to the lead in a hurry, dominating the field as he picked up his second victory
of the year.
Colton Heath picked up race win number eight in 2009 by grabbing the lead on lap
23 on the 410 main event at Skagit Speedway in Alger, WA. After Eric Fisher and
his XXX chassis led the first 22 circuits, Heath made an outlaw-style slidejob
stick coming out of turn four to secure the victory and bring himself to within
19 points of the division lead with less than a month of racing remaining.
Patrick Bourke has an impressive hot streak of his own that he's riding at the
moment. Since switching in to a XXX chassis a little over a month ago, Bourke
has now reached victory lane three times in the five races he's run the car, the
latest triumph coming at I-76 Speedway in Fort Morgan, CO in URSS action.
Bourke's main event win was made more special by the fact that he started ninth
overall, and passed nearly a car per lap on his way to the front of the field by
lap 13. He also won his heat race.
"Wild" Billy Aton has been riding a hot streak all season long in his wingless
spec sprint. Aton won again this past weekend, triumphing over a 20 car field at
Antioch Speedway in California. The win was Aton's sixth of 2009, as the 18 year
old continues to lead the points standings at both Antioch and Ocean Speedway in
CA.
Triple X Race Co dealer BRE out of Missouri has had a good run of things
themselves, picking up another win this weekend with their house car. After
Austin Alumbaugh took the car to victory last week with the MSCA, BRE traveled
to Jackson Speedway in Minnesota for the Jackson Nationals where Brad Ryun
piloted the mount to victory lane on the Friday preliminary night in the 305
division.
Jeremy Quick had a little luck go his way en route to taking his XXX to victory
lane with the CRSA at Five Mile Point Speedway in New York. Leading the race
with 15 laps in the books, Quick found himself with a right rear tire flattening
as a torrential down pour hit the track, giving Quick the win in the rain
shortened feature. With four points nights left in 2009, Quick is looking to
score his second straight series win as he's just a few tallies behind the
series leader.
Sean MacDonnell has had quite the ride of things in the Gee & Gee Racing house
car, taking it to victory lane for the second time at Alberta's premier track,
Castrol Raceway in the limited sprint class. The official XXX dealer in Alberta,
Gee's XXX house car is among the large contingent of Alberta Sportsman Sprints
finding victory lane in XXX chassis.

Janicki Industries Night Results 8-22-09
Posted on

8/22/09
Alger, WA - Janicki Industries night at Skagit Speedway saw two point's battles
decided and one points battle get a lot closer. In the Associated Asphalt 410
Sprints, Eric Fisher looked destined to pick up his first career victory as he
was a rocket ship for the first portion of the race in his JnR Paving #59 XXX.
While Fisher set the pace, Colton Heath methodically worked his way into the
second position in the Sanford Tire #5x XXX. Around lap 19, Fisher jumped the
cushion in turn two, throwing him off rhythm and allowing Heath to close the
gap. Following a yellow on lap 22, Heath dove hard underneath Fisher coming out
of turn four and put a major league slide job on him, capturing the lead and the
victory just a few laps later, his third of the year in the division. The race
win brought Heath to within 19 points of division leader Jesse Whitney who
finished third in his Precise Machining #88 Eagle. Quick time was Jayme Barnes
in the LAW Motorsports #33 XXX. Heat race wins went to Barnes and Rick Fauver in
the Reynolds / Fauver Racing #F1 XXX.
Mike Melwicks grabbed his second main event win in a row in the Budweiser 360
Sprints, catching and passing Alan Munn on lap 23 to score the win this week
from his eighth place starting spot in his CSA Transportation #2 Maxim. Evan
Funk pushed hard and got around Munn on the final lap to score second in the
Performance RC #18 Rocket. Munn held on for third in his Munn Construction #42
XXX. Melwicks was also fast time on the night. Heat winners were Rod Perkins in
the Classic Rock 92.9 #69 XXX and Danny Kirkpatrick in the K&B Racing #5x XXX.
Looking at the point's battle, Brock Lemley stretched his lead to almost 100
points, virtually securing the points championship with two races to go.
In the Cook Road Shell Sportsman Sprints, Lyle Woods ran wire to wire for the
victory in his K&B Racing #12k Becker just one week after putting the car on its
lid. Kelsey Carpenter finished second in his Dri-Eaz #27c XXX, stretching his
point lead to almost 100 points as well, putting him almost out of reach ala
Lemley. Third went to Marc Schutte in the Rudy Blumenhagen owned #72 XXX. Heat
race wins went to Glen Reinstra in the Right Way Plumbing #13gr XXX, Dave Mead
in the Hilander Well Service #3m Eagle, and Bill Rude in the North Cascade Ford
#33 Eagle.
It was a raging battle in the Outlaw Hornet main that had the spectators
captivated. Freddy Vela jumped to an early lead with Chris Erickson (piloting
the car Cory Swatzina is usually in) hot in tow. As the race wore on, Vela and
Erickson would go door panel to door panel for the lead, exchanging the point
multiple times between laps 9 -13. On the exit of corner four on lap 13,
Erickson slid his car up into the groove Vela was using, slamming the door shut
on Freddy as he jetted away for the win. Vela would hang on for second, with
Tyler Ketchum running third. Heat wins went to Ashley Lewellen and Don Ward.

Heath
Provides Fireworks On Track at Midseason Championship Night at Skagit Speedway
A near capacity crowd enjoyed on track fireworks followed by a huge fireworks
extravaganza that lit up the night sky at Mid Season Championship Night
presented by Les Schwab at Skagit Speedway. In the Associated Asphalt 410
division, Colton Heath was a bottle rocket all night, taking the lead from Jesse
Whitney on lap 2 and rocketing out to a the win in the Leo Voight owned Sanford
Tire #5 XXX. After winning the scramble, Heath powered his way around the top
side to a winning margin of almost a half track, crossing the line five seconds
before second place Jesse Whitney in his Precise Machining #88 Eagle. Third was
Jason Solwold in the Cavalli Construction #73 Maxim. With the top eight cars in
owner's points locked into the scramble, the remainder of the field qualified
for their starting position. Chris Schmelzle was the fastest 410 qualifier at
11.727 in the Talcore Walls & Ceilings #57c Lejuene.
The finish of the night was in the Budweiser 360 Sprints, where Jason Solwold
caught race leader Brock Lemley in turn for coming to the checkered flag and
passed him in heavy traffic to score his fourth win of 2009, his third at Skagit
Speedway, and second overall in the C&S Construction #51 owned by Jon Farrell.
Lemley led up until lap 24 7/8 but still grabbed a solid second on his birthday
weekend, driving the Kentch Bros., Haling Seafood sponsored #40 XXX. Third went
to Mike Harris in the Shark Racing Engines #44 XXX. Lemley won the scramble.
Jared Peterson was quick time in his Frontier Chevrolet #9 Rocket.
In the Cook Road Shell Sportsman Sprints, Kelsey Carpenter scored his sixth main
event win of the year on Mid Season Championship night, passing race leader Bill
Rude in lapped traffic on lap 14 on the way to victory lane. The win
strengthened Carpenter's chances at repeating as division champion in his
Dri-Eaz sponsored #27c XXX. Rude finished second in the North Cascade Ford #33
Eagle. Marc Schutte was third in the Rudy Blumenhagen owned #72 XXX. Carpenter
won the scramble.
Right front tires were the story of night in the Outlaw Hornet division, where
no less than three tires literally came off their cars, causing multiple yellow
flags and shortening the feature to 11 laps. At the end of the feature, it was
Cory Swatzina standing victorious, garnering his fourth win of the year and
strengthening his points lead. His brother Wade finished second, with Tyler
Ketchum finishing third. Swatzina also won the scramble.

AS SUMMER HEATS UP, SO DO XXX DRIVERS
It was another fantastic weekend for the XXX chassis. A number of drivers earned
repeat victories, including one who won three straight races. At Placerville
Speedway Andy Forsberg got one for the thumb, winning his fifth 360 sprint car
feature of the season. Also on Saturday night, Glenn Borden Jr. scored his
second straight victory to boost his points lead at Grays Harbor Raceway. Kelsey
Carpenter continued his dominance of the sportsman sprints at Skagit Speedway.
Colton Heath won his third straight main event in either a 410 sprint car of 600
mini-sprint on Friday night.
Andy Forsberg is having one of the best seasons of his career this year. On
Saturday, Forsberg continued his season-long success as he won his fifth main
event of the season aboard his No. 92 XXX sprint car. For the fourth time, it
was at Placerville Speedway in California. In addition to his Civil War series
victory, it was his third win in weekly competition. After setting fast time in
qualifying, Forsberg started fourth in the main event and quickly got to the
lead. Forsberg was challenged several times, but held the lead every time.
At Grays Harbor Raceway, Glenn Borden Jr. had climbed his way into the points
lead in the 360 sprint car division by the end of May despite not winning a race
yet. That first changed last week when he won his first race of the season to
give his points lead a boost. On Saturday, Borden further extended his points
lead when he won at Grays Harbor Raceway for the second straight week. Borden
quickly made his way up to the front of the field on a racy track and made quick
work of rookie Logan Forler to take the lead. Borden, a former track champion at
Grays Harbor with a XXX chassis in 2007, then had to deal with heavy traffic
while reigning track champ Jay Cole challenged him for the lead on a couple of
occasions. Borden, however, skillfully worked his way around the slower cars and
secured another big victory in his No. 72.
Triple X Race Co.'s own Kelsey Carpenter continued his dominance of Skagit
Speedway's sportsman sprint division aboard his No. 27c XXX. After winning his
heat race, Carpenter would go on to lead 20 laps of the main event. For the
defending track champion and current points leader, it was his fourth main event
triumph of the season. It also continued the XXX sprint car chassis' win streak
at Skagit. Every week Skagit Speedway has raced, at least one main event has
been won by a driver in a XXX sprint car.
All season, Carpenter's XXX co-worker Colton Heath had close calls in both his
No. 5x XXX sprint car and his No. 2 XXX mini-sprint. He finally broke through
the prior weekend, winning the 600 stock mini-sprint feature at Deming Speedway
on the Friday night, and then repeated the next night at Skagit Speedway with
his 410 sprint car. This weekend saw Colton back those wins up with another 600
stock mini-sprint main event victory at Deming Speedway on Friday, the third
straight time he strapped into a XXX chassis and won a main event. He did not
have the same success at Skagit as the week before, but on Saturday Colton came
up from the 10th starting position to finish a very strong 2nd in the Dirt Cup
tune-up race, which saw several out of towners come a week early to prepare for
this week's 38th Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup.
Triple X Race Co. would like to congratulate everyone who won in their XXX
chassis this weekend!
Triple X Race Co. is also holidng an open house this week. Race teams are
invited to the Triple X office and warehouse, just down the road from Skagit
Speedway. Teams will have a place to work on their cars during this week's Jim
Raper Memorial Dirt Cup. For more details, check out

Martinez Tunes Up for Dirt Cup with Big Win at
Skagit Speedway
6/13/2009
Alger, WA- Barry Martinez is officially geared up for the Van's Equipment
Rentals & Sales Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway. After fading
back to third on the initial start of the Associated Asphalt 410 main event, the
Lynnwood WA resident battled his way back into contention in his Artisan Homes
#66 J&J, powering around the inside of the track. After passing Jesse Whitney
for second, Martinez set sail for race leader Jason Solwold who had taken the
lead from Whitney on lap eight. Mired in heavy traffic, Martinez powered under
Solwold coming off the fourth corner on lap fifteen to nose into the lead.
Solwold saw Martinez and went to go for his lead back but made contact with
lapped traffic, causing a spin out and collecting fourth place running Rick
Fauver with him.
On the restart, Colton Heath would blow by Whitney for second and set sail for
the leader Martinez. But it was not to be, as Martinez masterfully navigated the
final laps of the Skagit 3/10 clay oval to take his second win of the year.
Heath in the Sanford Tire #5x XXX finished second,
with Whitney coming home third in the Precise Machining #88 Eagle. Whitney also
set quick time. Heat wins went to Heath, Cory Chamberlain in the Bob & Lori
Scott owned #7s Maxim and Chad Hillier in the APC Powdercoating #38 J&J.
Kelsey Carpenter raced to a division leading fourth main event win in the Cook
Road Shell Sportsman Sprints. Aboard his Dri-Eaz sponsored #27c XXX, Kelsey led
every lap of the feature, winning the race by 5.9 seconds. Second was Lyle Woods
in the K&B Racing #12k Becker. Third went to Paul Burdick in the Precision
Collision #9 XXX. Heat wins went to Carpenter and Burdick.
The Modifieds made their one and only appearance of 2009 at Skagit Speedway,
with drivers coming from British Columbia all the way to Oregon to compete.
Leroy Lawhead of Rochester WA led the initial three laps until Jason Beaulieu of
Vancouver BC took the lead on lap four. Beaulieu continued to lead until he ran
in to traffic (quite literally) on the 10th lap, spinning himself out and
handing the lead back to Lawhead, who would hold on to win 10 laps later. Second
was Craig Moore of Seabeck WA, third Scott Miller of Shelton WA making it an all
Washington top three. Heat race wins went to Beaulieu and Lawhead.
Colton Heath wins Associated Asphalt 410 division at Skagit Speedway

Alger, WA - Colton Heath didn't go easy on himself en route to winning his first
main event of the year in the Associated Asphalt 410 division at Skagit Speedway
on round eight of the Foothills Toyota Tundra Racing Series. Heath rocketed out
to the initial lead, but almost spun himself out in corner four on the sixth
lap, giving the lead to former World of Outlaw competitor Chad Hillier. Heath
battled back in the Sanford Tire #5x XXX, closing the gap between himself and
Hillier, taking the lead back on lap twelve with a strong move on the inside of
turn one. The night didn't get any easier, as Heath was in heavy lapped traffic
and made contact with Kyle Oman, sending the latter into wall causing a red. The
hits just kept on coming after the restart, as your leader again got into heavy
traffic and made contact with Kelleigh Johnson, causing another yellow on lap
21. With Rick Fauver in the Reynolds/Fauver #F1 Maxim poised to strike, Heath
would change his groove and block the bottom, sealing up an adventurous first
win of 2009. Fauver brought home second, with Barry Martinez in the Advanced
Sprint Car & Toys for Trucks #66 J&J coming in third. Quick time was Mitch Olson
in the SC Fuels #98 KPC. Heath and Hillier, in the APC Powdercoating #38 J&J,
won the heats.
Jared Peterson has really come into his own in his third full year of sprint car
racing. Aboard his Frontier Chevrolet #9 Rocket, Peterson blitzed the Budweiser
360 Sprint field for his second win of the year at Skagit Speedway, leading
every single lap of the main event. Rod Perkins ran second in the Classic Rock
92.9 #69 XXX, third going to Brian Kirkpatrick in the K&B Racing #5k XXX who
also set quick time. Heat wins went to Perkins, Brock Lemley in the Haling
Seafood #40 XXX and Robby Vaughn in the Jay's Automotive #29 Rocket.
Marc Schutte won his first main of 2009 in the Cook Road Shell Sportsman
Sprints, leading every lap of the main event in the Rudy Blumenhagen owned #72
XXX. Kelsey Carpenter came from sixth to second in the Dri-Eaz#27c XXX. Third
was Lyle Woods in the K&B Racing #12k Becker. The win was sweet redemption for
Schutte who was leading a race three weeks ago when a steering rod broke,
sending him into the wall and trashing his car. Heat race wins went to Woods and
Carpenter.
Wade Swatzina and Ben Gunderson had a barn burner of a race going in the Outlaw
Hornet class. For 18 laps, Gunderson dogged Swatzina, literally bumper to bumper
around a beautiful main event track. Coming to lap 19, Gunderson made the wrong
decision in lapped traffic, giving the win to Swatzina, his first of 2009. The
misstep dropped Gunderson to the third finishing position behind Vance Hibbard.
Heat race wins went to brand new high school graduate Ashley Lewellen and James
Bundy.

Solwold Wins John Carroll Classic in 410 and 360
5/23/09
Alger, WA - Jason Solwold broke through for the first time in 2009 in a BIG
fashion at Skagit Speedway, winning both the Associated Asphalt 410 and
Budweiser 360 features. The John Carroll Classic presented by I.R.I. is run
every year on Memorial Day weekend for a larger purse, and Solwold picked a good
weekend to get his race programs online. In the Associated Asphalt 410s, Solwold
methodically ran down race leader Nick Engberg, then used a lap 12 restart to
power around the high side to take the lead and eventual win in the Shark Racing
Engines #73 Maxim. Travis Rutz came home second in the Rudeen Racing #26 Maxim.
Third was Colton Heath in the Sanford Tire #5x XXX. Jesse Whitney set quick time
in his Precise Machining #88 Eagle. Heat race wins went to Kevin Smith in his
Skagit Powdercoating #75 XXX and Eric Fisher in his J&R Paving #59 XXX.
Solwold set the tone for his night early by blasting by race leader Danielle
Huson on the outside of corner four on lap six to take the lead and eventual win
in the Budweiser 360 division. Piloting the C&S Construction #51 Maxim, Solwold
would hold off a late race charge by second place finisher Brock Lemley in the
Haling Seafood #40 XXX to score his first triumph of 2009. Huson hung on for
third in her Shark Racing Engines #73 Rocket. Brian Kirkpatrick was quick time
in the K&B Racing #5k XXX. Heat wins went to Kelsey Carpenter in the Dri-Eaz
#79k XXX, Shane Broers in the Firedown Graphics #11 XXX and Huson.
Devin Barnes went wire-to-wire in the Cook Road Shell Sportsman Sprint division
to score his first career main win. After weeks of playing the bridesmaid to
other driver's brides, Barnes put it all together in the Ken's Redmond Autobody
#22 XXX, leading all 20 laps of the main without ever sustaining a serious
challenge. Second was Michael Bollinger in the Sunworks Tanning #73 Maxim with
third going to Matt Van Der Sys in the Timber Trax #30 XXX. Heat race wins went
to Lyle Woods in the K&B Racing #12 Becker and Bollinger.
Much like Barnes, Freddie Vela was tired of taking home runner ups...and just
like Barnes, he put it all together to score his first career win in the Outlaw
Hornets, leading every lap of the main which was shortened due to three red
flags. Second went to Don Ward, third to Tyler Ketchum. Heats were won by Ben
Gunderson and Jerry Birdsey Jr.
Join us next week for round seven of the Foothills Toyota Tundra Racing Series
next week at Skagit Speedway when all four classes will once again be in action.

Bloodgood Leads Every Lap at Skagit Speedway Season Opener
4/18/09
Alger, WA - The question was posed to Jason Bloodgood in victory lane: if
someone had told you before the night started that in a field with former WoO
stars Shane Stewart & Jason Solwold and Nascar Craftsmen Truck Rookie Tayler
Malsam you would lead every lap of the Associated Asphalt 410 main, what would
you say? "I would have told you you're crazy" exclaimed Bloodgood in victory
lane after scoring his first career 410 win in the Big John Motorsports #38 J&J
on Haggen Food & Pharmacy Night at Skagit Speedway. Bloodgood got a scare on the
final restart on lap 22 when Eric Fisher in the J&R Paving #59 XXX showed him a
wheel on the inside of turn two and actually edged ahead of him for a second.
Bloodgood didn't panic and roared back, reclaming his lead en route to the win.
Colton Heath ended up second in the Sanford Tire #5x XXX. Third went to Malsam
in the Rudeen Racing #26 Maxim. Heat races were won by Fisher and Travis Rutz in
the Rutz Racing #8 XXX. Fast time was Stewart in the Jet City Equipment #7k
A.R.T.
Jared Peterson was the beneficiary of a little bit of racer's luck in the
Budweiser 360 Series. Peterson took over the lead on lap 22 when race leader
Brock Lemley's Kentch Bros. racing #40 XXX tangled with slower traffic,
collecting second place runner Henry Van Dam in his Van Dam Dairy #33v as well.
This handed the lead to Peterson who brought home his first career win in the
Speedmart #9 Rocket. Mitch Olson was second in his Pro-Vac #98 KPC, third was
Michael Harris in the Shark Racing Engines #44 XXX. Steve Parker won the B Main
in his #23 Eagle. Lemley, Peterson and Harris won the heats. Danielle Huson was
fast time in her Shark Racing Engines #73 Rocket.
Defending Cook Road Shell Sportsman Sprint champion Kelsey Carpenter also
benefited from some racer's luck on Saturday night. Race leader Matt Van Der Sys
and second place Devin Barnes were doing heavy battle in lapped traffic when
disaster struck, collecting both front runners and third place Marc Schutte in
one fell swoop, handing the lead to Carpenter in his Dri-Eaz #27c XXX on lap 12.
Carpenter brought home the win in front of Paul Burdick in the Chevron #9 XXX
and Bull Rude's #33 Eagle. Carpenter won a heat race as did Schutte in his #72
XXX.
Cory Swatzina made a last lap pass of Freddy Vela to take his first win of the
2009 season in the Outlaw Hornet division in his Carl's Towing #07. Vela scored
a career best second in the Acute Automotive #20. Steve Peters brought the
battlewagon #30 home third. Heat race wins went to Wade Swatzina and Peters won
heats.
All 4 classes will be in action next Saturday night for Round 2 of the Foothills
Toyota Tundra Racing Series at Skagit Speedway. For more information, log on to

Martinez. Travis Rutz inherited the lead in his Rudeen Racing 326 after getting
by Martinez on lap 13, and went on to take the checkered flags first to cap off
