For years, people have flocked to sunny south Florida for many reasons. They come for adventure, excitement, and a chance to find their youth. Ahh yes! Just to be young again, if we could have that chance would you do it? I think most of us would. Who would have thought that we could associate Dirt Track Late Model Racing all the way back to the year 1513?

The famous explore Ponce De Leon came to Florida in 1513 in search of the same things; adventure, excitement and youth. I know you’re not here for a history lesson, but this weekend drivers from all over the south will follow in the footsteps of the famous explore and venture into the heart of the Everglades in search of their “fountain of youth”, for the 4^th annual Ponce De Leon Late Model Classic at the Hendry County Motor Sports Park. Three drivers have already put their names in the history books.

In 2007 “Showtime” Shawn Smith found his fountain of youth winning the 1^st annual Ponce de Leon classic.

In 2008 it was the “Professor” Ivedent Lloyd coming home the winner. Last year was the year of “The Killer” Keith Nosbisch as he put #101 Miller Lite Mopar into the history books.

As we count down the days, hours and minutes, who will be the next driver to find there fountain of youth.

Could it be a track local like Tim Powers who is fresh off his first ever Open Wheel Modified win in the 2010 Open Wheel Modified state Championship?

Could it be the young current Rookie point’s leader Christian Augespurger from the United Dirt late Model Challenge Series.

Or will it be “The General” Bubba the Love Sponge with his #102.5 Miller Lite Mopar missile.

Find out this Saturday night at The Hendry County Motor Sports Park for the 4th Annual Ponce De Leon Classic.

Pit gate opens at 2PM Grandstands open at 4PM and racing starts at 7PM.

Florida Dirt Track News Looking for Drivers and Sponsors for 2010-2011

Jane Smith — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 15:48:50 +0000

FDTN Media

Merritt Island, FL (August 20, 2010) Florida’s newest Dirt Track website is looking for sponsors and for drivers.

“I am in the process now of trying to set up driver profiles for the website, www.floridadirttracknews, where potential sponsors can find potential drivers to sponsor. If possible, and that all depends on how badly the drivers want help, I am asking that they send me a small bio of their racing history with a few photos to put up on the website,” said Publisher Jane Smith.

“Then when sponsors look at the website, they can see and read about the great dirt drivers here in Florida and hopefully help one of them. Even if it is only gas for the weekend or a tire or two, anything does and will help the driver and the sponsor will get his name out there at their hometracks so their sponsor. It is a win-win situation for both.”

“Since acquiring www.dirttracknews.com, Florida Dirt Track News has been getting more than 650 hits per day. Florida Dirt Track News covers all of Florida’s dirt tracks with stories, race results, and a photo gallery of the weekend’s racing action that the track photographers are kind enough to send in to me.”

“With today’s economy and the state that some tracks are in, it is hard to race for sure. But there are still racers and still potential sponsors in the stands that may have a few bucks to help out a driver and hopefully by doing this, it will help both.”

“For $25.00, the bios and photos will be put up for a year on the website for everyone to see. And if the driver comes up with a win, he/she will be highlighted for the week on the site.”

“Florida Dirt Track News is still looking for sponsors also for the site. The site has grown each and every day since last year when it was started. It is a great place to advertise your parts, services, etc. for the dirt track driver. Advertising rates are very reasonable and you can contact racingjls@aol.com for rates.”

Florida Dirt Track News also offers National Dirt news from the World of Outlaws to the All Star Circuit of Champions. And in the near future, it will also offer news from other Southern states dirt tracks from Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, South and North Carolina.

Now we cover Southern Raceway, Northwest Florida Speedway, Hendry County Motorsports Park, North Florida Speedway, Ocala Speedway, Volusia Speedway Park, East Bay Raceway Park, and Putnam County Speedway which is closed at the present time but hopefully reopening in 2011.

For more information on getting your bio up or advertising, please e-mail racingjls@aol.com. And be sure and check out www.floridadirttracknews.com. It is the fastest growing dirt track site in the Florida.

United Dirt Late Model Challenge Series & Sunoco Chase for the Cup Announced

Jane Smith — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 17:45:06 +0000

UDLMCS Media

July 1, 2010 After much thought and deliberation, the United Dirt Late Model Challenge Series and it’s sponsor Sunoco, are proud to announce the names of the drivers who have made it’s first annual Chase for the Cup, along with thirty participants. The series is also
releasing the chase schedule, which will take it to many exciting venues in both Georgia and Florida. The chase will surely create the most exciting points battle of 2010 season.

This will give race fans the most intense Late Model racing in the country.

Although, the series originally planned on running a separate North and South schedule, both the series and Sunoco are convinced that by merging the North and South regions, that it will match the best Late Model drivers in Central and South Georgia against
the best Late Model drivers in Florida. This will elevate one of the most premier Late Model Series to an even higher level and create must see events for all race fans in both Georgia and Florida.

How the Chase was seeded!

After much thought, I decided that Tyler Ivey, who had the most overall points, Ivedent Lloyd, the North points leader and Mark Whitener, the South points leader, will all be number one seeds and will be receiving $1000 respectively, at the banquet for their
accomplishments up to now.

Secondly, on the seedings I made a decision that a driver must have earned a minimum of450 points, all other drivers were eliminated from the chase consideration. At this point, thirty drivers are in the chase and one last driver, who is a member, will be chosen through a blind lottery draw. This driver will be offered the opportunity to participate in the chase, being awarded 180 points, which would be equal to the points of Patrick Williams, who is currently the thirtieth in the chase. Should the driver winning the lottery draw decide to decline the offer, the draw will continue until a winner accepts the offer to participate.

The other seeds were chosen second in the South to second in the North, however in the North, Tyler Ivey was awarded a number one seed and the second seed went to Chelsey Dixon in the North, who was the next highest points earner. The same in the South being
Tyler had already received a number one seed, moved Dillon Woods into the second seed.

The bottom line is once a driver was seeded by using his highest points total, they were skipped in the other region when seeding the next highest points earner. If you have any question to where you are seeded, call me directly.

After seeding Jordy Nipper, who was the last Northern driver seeded based on him being the last Northern driver with over 450 points. All remaining Southern drivers with overor exactly 450 points, you were seeded in order until reaching Patrick Williams, who had exactly 450 points.

Once the chase starts all points will be awarded as normal, with the following exceptions.

Because, I do not believe in double points nights, but I realized that drivers must be enticed and rewarded for driving to the furthest SOuthern region track, which is Hendry County Motorsports Park and Screvean Motorspeedway, which is the Northern regions most Northern track. On these two races, you will have to count your better finish.

However, drivers going to either track will receive a 50 point bonus, just for going and supporting these two tracks, which are geographically challenged. If clarification is needed on this, please call me directly with any questions you may have.

Thanks for your support,

Ken Kinney Jr.

Florida’s Newest Dirt Website Has Got a Deal for You

Jane Smith — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 01:24:53 +0000

FDTN Media

Merritt Island, FL (March 19, 2010) Florida’s newest dirt track website is looking for a few good sponsors for the site. If you have not checked it out yet, go to www.floridadirttracknews.com.

Jane Smith, webmaster and owner of the site, covers all eight dirt tracks in the state of Florida from Southern Raceway and Northwest Florida Speedway in Northern Florida to Ocala Speedway, East Bay Raceway Park, North Florida Speedway, Hendry County Motorsports Park, Putnam County Speedway and Volusia Speedway Park.

“So far the new dirt website is doing great and we are getting a very good response from the dirt racing community,” said Smith. “I have been doing live updates on Saturday from Volusia and the fans seem to really like that and no other race track at this time is doing that.”

“Soon we will start our driver profiles and staff/official profiles. If there is one driver in particular that fans would like to see profiled, just write racingjls@aol.com and send in their name and why you would like to see them profiled.”

Advertising rates are very reasonable at www.floridadirttracknews.com. To check out the rates you can e-mail me directly racingjls@aol.com and I will get back with you right away.

No other website in Florida showcases all eight dirt tracks in the state and dirt is growing bigger and bigger so if you love dirt and have racing products that the racers will be looking for, check out floridadirttracknews.com for your advertising needs.

“I started this site because last year I switched from asphalt to dirt track racing,” said Smith. “I had always been around asphalt only and only gone to a handfull of dirt races but once I got to Volusia and saw how much fun dirt really is and how much better their car counts are and fan base, I knew I had to start this site for all those dirt track race fans.”

Be sure to check out the forum for live-updates every Saturday night from Volusia Speedway Park on www.floridadirttracknews.com. Also check out the front page for all track news and race results each week. Plus check the gallery for photos from various tracks each week and the 2009 Champions in dirt.

If you are a dirt track racer or provide parts for dirt cars, be sure to check out www.floridadirttracksnews.com for reasonable advertising.

Hendry County Making Changes for the Better

Jane Smith — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 20:00:54 +0000

by Bill Green

CLEWISTON, Fla. — Hendry County Motorsports Park has had two moderately successful weekends to kickoff the 2010 season, but realizes that changes to the schedule as well as the facilities must be made for the betterment of the local racing community, as well as the high profile traveling series it expects to draw in the future.

“The USAC Wingless Sprints and the 360 Winged Sprints, both put on great shows, but I believe we are trying way to hard, to early,” stated track owner Ken Kenny. “I need to build the local racing classes to help in the long term future, while allowing for some short term goals in up dating the facility.”

The current March 2010 schedule will be changed slightly, by removing the United Dirt Late Model Challenge Series (Southern Division) 50-Laps event scheduled for March-13, but adding the Sportsman Class for the evening. HCMP will also keep the March-27 schedule as is, with the intent of adding a 4-Cyl Bomber Class in the near future.

Also, PLEASE say a prayer for our good friend Jack Smith, as he has been battling through serious back surgery issues over the last two weeks. The Front Page of the HCMP web site will be up dated as soon as possible when Jack is able. Other wise you will need to remind your friends and fellow racers, as well as fans of HCMP to sign up for E-Mail News Up Dates like this to help get the word out in the short term.

Thank You For Your Support!

March 13 — Sportsman, Pure Stocks, Street Stocks and HCMP Mini Stocks.
