Clauson started out position 3 and worked his way into the race lead by lap 4 and held control right up until the race was called because of rain on lap 24.

Win 13 for the year for Clauson came on Friday 13th in the Cancer Treatment Centers of America/B & H Contractors Spike/Stanton SR-11 #63. Tanner Thorson and Spencer Bayston joined Clauson on the podium.

The Plymouth race was another good hit out for the “newbie’s” in the Kunz Team with their 5 cars inside the top 7.Kunz stable at Plymouth

Dayne Kingshott targets POWRI USAC midget weeks.

 

It’s a long hop from Perth to Indiana but the Kingshott Racing Team is ready to take on the best in the US as their driver Dayne Kingshott prepares to depart for his first racing tour of the USA.Kingshott Indania bound

With impressive Western Australian and National performances under his belt it times to take the Americans on at their home turf. Racing American imports and the best locals Kingshott dominated the first two year of the Speedcar Pro Series before its demise he attacked the Pro Speedcar Week with the same level of professional and despite early success and on top of the points after two rounds the bad luck, attack of the prelims or whatever you call it unloaded on the team during the latter part of the Pro Speedcar Week. Racing wheel to wheel with Darren Hagen the 2012 USAC Champ, Tyler Thomas and Austin Brown Kingshott knows the level he must reach.

The 2105 Pro Speedcar Week did not bring the success that the Kingshott Team would have expected .Traveling between Perth, Brisbane and Sydney the team is accustomed to the long road trips and busy racing schedules and that what faces the team on this tour of the USA when they tangle with the Yanks on their own tracks.

The 2016 Australian Speedcar Championship at Valvoline Raceway was another disappointing outing for the team experiencing engines troubles. The memories from the 75th Championship now faded with the focus and effort now on the US tour. .

The KR24 was packed with spares and tools and is currently enjoying the trip across the Pacific and bound for Indiana with the engines headed to Esslinger for a fresh up in the factory.The challenge that faces the Bunbury based Kingshott cannot be understated, many of our best and the best from New Zealand have had their fair share of difficulties during their recent tours of the Indiana.Kingshott team at work preparing for Indian

Red Hot Rico

Rico Abreu red hot at the Chili Bowl :The Chili Bowl is mine and the Champ salutes as the crowd erupts in support of a killer driveRico Bowl win
There were times during the early part of the race that it appeared Bryan Clauson had such control that a second golden driller would grace the shelves of his new home . Abreu’s team mate Christopher Bell hunting for his first Golden Driller took the early lead but lap 9 saw his dreams go under when he made contact with a lapped car and spun . Back of the pack went Bell and so did any chance of the Golden Driller .

The Chili Bowl is mine

The Chili Bowl is mine

Abreu diced early with Alex Bright for third before his move forward started .The racing between Zack Daum and Abreu was worth the entry fee alone .Laps 40,42 and 43 were crucial and a change came quickly once the race restarted .The caution on 40 and 43 were for incidents involving Sammy Swindell and 42 was for an incident in the stands.
By this time the track had become very narrow but the top was starting to offer opportunity.

With 12 laps to race Abreu finally found a way past the barriers Daum had successfully built and by lap 44 was all over the #63 of Clauson.The 2013 Champ had been running strong on the bottom and appeared to miss the change in track condition .Areu was aggressively driving the top and his pace was so much faster than Clauson. It was no surprise when he charged past and into the race lead on lap 45.
Once in the lead it was a case of put down the glasses the little man with the biggest right foot in Speedway had shut the gate on any challenger. There was no way back for Clauson and his second Golden Driller now resides with Red Hot Rico .
The USAC journey man Jerry Coons Jr, underrated by many was superb finishing 4th .Finally what a drive from Kyle Larson started 22nd and raced into 5th.The 2015 USAC Champion Tracy Hines finished in 17th position. The best of the NASCAR drivers was Kyle Larson 5th and the leading Outlaw was Joey Saldana in 10th .
Nine days to build this place, a week of exhilarating racing and two days to dismantle the best little dirt track in the world .

Driver interviews
Rico Abreu
“So I think this is one of the toughest tracks to be a leader at and set the pace,” said Rico. “Just because with how much the track changes in a feature or in a race, you can run second or third, and have the advantage of moving around on the surface rather than being the leader and running the line that you started running where you got the lead at.”

Bryan Clauson
“It took a lot longer for it widen out,” said Clauson of the track. “As silly as it sounds at that point in the race, I’d have rather been running second or third and hadn’t spent 10 laps trying to maneuver and figure out what I needed because the first lap of the restart I went in where I had been running, it wasn’t very good anymore.”
Zach Daum
Asked about his level of competitiveness, Daum replied, “We were decent, we weren’t great. We were way too tight early. Then once we moved to the cushion we were even tighter still. We struggled with side bite all weekend. So when we went to this race we kind of maybe went a little bit overboard. It’s still nothing to be ashamed of we ran third.”

Bryan Clauson wins night four at the Bowl

Bryan Clauson wins night four at the Bowl

On the final preliminary night of the 30th Chili Bowl Bryan Clauson raced in 4 wins from his four starts.
First up Clauson took his heat then his qualifier and a flag to flag Feature win. With a second Golden Driller there for the taking Clauson improved his position even further when he won the Pizza Express Pole Shuffle when he disposed of Christopher Bell in the final match race to decide pole position for the Saturday night Championship Final.

Bryan Clauson's night

Bryan Clauson’s night

Clauson made the most from his pole spot and raced to an early lead over McCreadie with Kahne, Pittman and Golobic chasing hard to limit Clauson’s early advantage.
McCreadie picked the high side in an effort to close down Clauson.Kahne and Pittman continued to argue over the final transfer position.
Traffic and cautions offered little assistance to McCreadie .With 5 laps to race and traffic ahead Clauson continued to slide his way around the back markers and head to finishing line a comfortable winner over McCreadie .Kasey Kahne managed to hold his third position from Pittman to book his ticket for the Saturday night 55 lap final .
Taking a little gloss over the nights racing was the  disqualification of Shane Cockrum from the 2016 Chili Bowl Nationals when it was established that Cockbrum had driven in place of Alex Shanks .At this stage no explanation from Cocbrum his team or Alex Shanks.The Benton Fire Chief has some explaining to do .
A-Feature: Top 3 advance to Saturday’s A-Feature.
A Feature (25 Laps): 1. 63-Bryan Clauson[1]; 2. 47X-Tim McCreadie[5]; 3. 67Z-Kasey Kahne[3]; 4. 21-Daryn Pittman[2]; 5. 17G-Shane Golobic[7]; 6. 71G-Damion Gardner[13]; 7. 67-Tanner Thorson[10]; 8. 15X-Chad Boat[11]; 9. 73X-Jac Haudenschild[8]; 10. 05H-Hunter Schuerenberg[4]; 11. 21K-Cory Kruseman[9]; 12. 68-Ronnie Gardner[19]; 13. 14-Trevor Kobylarz[16]; 14. 11AG-Dave Darland[23]; 15. 27T-Tucker Klaasmeyer[18]; 16. 35S-Danny Faria Jr[17]; 17. 51W-Danny Sheridan[21]; 18. 15-Tim Siner[12]; 19. 9K-Kyle Schuett[22]; 20. 31B-David Budres[24]; 21. 80-Josh Hawkins[14]; 22. 98D-Clinton Boyles[20]; 23.

Tanner talks Turkey, Hines wears USAC Crown

Tanner Thorson continues the Turkey Night Tradition

Tanner Thorson continues the Turkey Night Tradition

Tanner talks Turkey, Hines wears USAC Crown
The Final night of racing in USAC’s schedule the 75th Turkey Night promised so much excitement with the complete Kunz Team of Toyota which included the return to dirt of Kyle Larson ,Much was expected with most fans divided on which of the 5 Kunz team drivers would take the Turkey Night and possibly the USAC Title .
Only 22 cars signed in, disappointing but the numbers had no effect on the drama and excitement that would follow.
Qualifying was team battle for fast time with Rico coming out ahead of Larson, Bell, and Thorson.Heat wins went to Sweet, Larson and Bell.

With the 98 lap Turkey night Feature closing in the main discussion was around the points and what each driver would need if he was to overtake Tracy Hines slender 27 point Championship lead .The Feature had on offer 60 points to the winner .Thomas was only 27points adrift and Thorson 33 points back. Both had strong chances to steal the Title away from Hines if he should falter or strike trouble .Abreu 50 points astern of Hines was also a slight chance if things went his way
After only 9 lapsof the Feature the pattern for the night was set when rookie Dalby spins. . Restart, 83 to go: Clauson leads Thomas Bell Abreu Thorson Hines Gardner Boat Larson Stockton Bernal Swanson Sweet.
With the Turkey on the run again Clauson ran the point while Rico Abreu was charging through. First he disposed of Bell from third then quickly did the same to Thomas Jr and started his charge after Clauson
35 laps of the Turkey Night were in the book when suddenly Clauson’s #63 stopped and in the confusion Abreu while trying to avoid Clauson flipped his racecar forcing the race to be stopped .Clauson went pit side to fix what was found to be faulty ignition and both cars would restart Clauson at the rear of the field Restart, 63 laps to go: Bell leads Thomas Thorson Larson Hines Boat D Gardner Bernal Swanson Marcham Bacon.
Thorson and Larson were quick to pounce on teammate Thomas and the pair took over second and third and the chase was on for the teammate Bell. The five Kunz casr were  running  line astern and at this stage  a Turkey night win was becoming clear, just who would win , well that would be anyone’s guess.
Positions were changing all over the track .Damion Gardiner passed Hines for fifth while Thorson was climbing all over Bell for the race lead .Meanwhile Abreu had advanced to sixth and Clauson was back up to 11th but Clauson’s car did not seem to want to go just were BC wanted it to go and he appeared to struggling .

65 laps down and Bell and Thorson start to find traffic and it still anyone’s race .Bell and Thorson race for the lead on lap 88 .The challenge by  Thorson continues until he slides past the defending Champ on lap 93. Soon after Bell catches the fence, he is unhurt but out of the race .Thorson now had to hold off the late challenge from Abreu while Larson was waiting for that small space to throw some magic at the pair .The running order with just 6 laps of the Turkey left was Thorson  Abreu Larson D Gardner Thomas Clauson Hines lead lap, then Marcham Swanson R Gardner 1 lap down, then Darland Ebberts .
The drama was not yet over with 5 laps left it became clear that Abreu at a left rear going flat and he started to look after protecting his second place from Larson .Abreu headed infield on the white leaving Thorson with the win over Larson and Damion Gardner .
Tanner Thorson takes the Turkey and Tracy Hines wins the USAC Championship for 2015 and becomes the sixth driver to win the coveted “Triple Crown” with National USAC Titles now in Sprintcars, Silver Crown and Midget.
Some facts on the Championship in 2015, only three owners collected race wins Keith Kunz took 13 wins, Rusty Kunz 3 wins and Kenny Brown ‘s Boss team the first win of the season with Darren Hagen. Rain cancelled 4 meeting .Feature race wins Abreu with 5 was the dominating driver followed by Clauson and Thorson with three wins each and Christopher Bell and Kevin Thomas two wins each .
Tracy Hines won the Championship without achieving a Feature race win in the series but his ability in gathering points was his reward. No doubt Abreu, Clauson and Bell’s decision not to contest all rounds made their chase of the Championship that much more difficult.
In finishing 7th Ronnie Gardner won the Honda Western Midget Championship for the third successive year over Shannon McQueen .
Tanner Thorson ““I just had to find a way to break Christopher’s momentum to give myself a shot to win it. We weren’t as good as him if he had clear track, but if I could just find a way to get him racing, we could move around as well as anyone. I knew it was gonna be tough with those guys lined up behind me, messing with me under yellow, but I changed my line up and hit it pretty well to finish it off. This is a tough race and especially with all those great guys to race against, so to finish off our season with this one really means a lot,” Thorson said.
Tracy Hines ““It’s really just a relief to end it and do this in the final night. I’ve been running every race and chasing points for 20 years, and it just has worn me down. I’m happy to have something good to do that is involved with racing now after my driving days, and I’m happy to go out on top winning the championship in this division. It’s been a trying year at times, but we persevered and met this goal. To join such a great group of racers who have won the Triple Crown is pretty cool, as I know them all and raced against all but one, and we’ve battled with each other all along the way,” Hines said.

Fresh from his win at the 3rd Jason leffler memorial at Wayne County Speedway Bryan Clauson will be sharp in the Joe Dooling/Rust Kunz #63 and he will need to be to keep the mighty Keith Kunz Toyota team at bay.

Tracy Hines takes his Parker Machinery-Turbines Stanton/Toyota #24  into the USAC Title decider holding a slender 27 points lead over Kevin Thomas Jr and 33 points over Tanner Thorson .Rico Abrue with 5 wins in Championship in 2015 is still a slim chance just 56 points adrift of Hines and with 74 points on the line the race to the Title will be a cracker.

An interesting fact this year is that the Kunz brother Rusty and Keith have won all but the Kokomo opener in this USAC National Midget Championship series, chances are that one of them with take out the Turkey night .The question is which brother and which driver.
Hines might well be the sentimental favorite, a USAC National Midget Championship win in his final year before retirement will be put under extreme pressure as Rusty Kunz will field Bryan Clauson while brother Keith fields 5 cars in the Turkey night field .Defending Turkey Night champion Christopher Bell is joined by Rico Abreu, Tanner Thorson, Kevin Thomas Jr and Kyle Larson. Their pre-race team discussion on tactics will be worth  dropping in on, will there be any team orders,

one might suggest the first one will be to stop Tracy Hines finishing in the top 5, a position good enough to win Tracy his first USAC National Midget Championship and it will sit perfectly with his USAC 2000 Silver Crown and 2002 Sprntcar Titles
