Blaney follows a trend of NASCAR stars who were raised on dirt track racing and are eager to return to it. Last year, Tony

Clanton Hopes Hard Works Pays Off With Home-State Victory In 'Winter Freeze' At Screven

Georgia Track Hosts $20,000-To-Win World of Outlaws Late Model Series Season Opener This

victory this Saturday night (Feb. 11) in the 'Winter Freeze' at Screven Motor Speedway, he will have earned every cent of
the race's $20,000 first-place prize.
Success at Screven would culminate a grueling three-week stretch for Clanton,
whose off-season move to a new team – and preparation for the start of the WoO LMS schedule – was made even more

From the desk of Jason Meyers:
In January of 2004 with the help of Guy Stockbridge and eventually Chris Luck in 2006, I set out to build a World of Outlaw
sprint car team capable of winning the World of Outlaws Championship. Over the past eight years, seven seasons of Outlaw competition,
the team we created through hard work and sleepless nights has finished in the top-five seven times with three runner up finishes
and recently two championships in succession.
Along the way, we had the opportunity to work with some of the finest individuals in motorsports and have made friends
for life that we will cherish forever. Many of these folks worked daily within Elite Racing and many were sponsors and supporters
that made our dreams reachable through their belief in our marketing and performance capabilities.

RARE AIR: Sheppard’s
Second Straight Title Puts Him Among Elite
Young New York star
only sixth driver in 36-year history to win championships in back-to-back seasons
WEEDSPORT, NY – Nov. 14, 2011 – By Kevin Kovac/DIRTcar Racing PR - No one had to tell Matt Sheppard why his
2011 overall DIRTcar Big-Block Modified championship holds so much significance. That fact hit him head-on as soon as he glanced
at the select list of drivers who preceded him as winners of DIRTcar Northeast’s most prestigious title in back-to-back
seasons.
With his second straight Big-Block points crown, Sheppard became just the sixth competitor to capture consecutive championships
in the 36 years that the trophy has been awarded. He joined a group of DIRTcar Big-Block Modified immortals that features
Alan Johnson (2002-2003), Brett Hearn (outright in 1996 and co-champ in ‘97), Bob McCreadie (1994-95), Jack Johnson
(1984-85, 1987-88) and Will Cagle (1978-79).

The Critic's Annex: Lowes Foods World Finals
by Phil Allaway
Hello, race fans.
Welcome back to the Critic's Annex, where we provide our loyal readers with an additional look into the telecasts we have
at our disposal during the week. Last weekend, the Dirt Track at Charlotte hosted the second annual Lowes Foods World
Finals, a marathon of racing that closed out the 2011 season for World Racing Group's three biggest series. Those divisions
are the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series, the World of Outlaws Late Models, and the Super DirtCar Series for Big Block Modifieds.
Since
we covered this event here in the Critic's Annex last year, we're going to do a little compare and contrast between last year
and this year's telecasts on SPEED in order to see how they measured up.
Many of the same personalities were in play
as last year. Brad Doty and Shane Andrews were back, along with Bobby Gerould in the pits. Dave DeSpain was back
at his usual perch; however, Ralph Sheheen, who did play-on-play on the action from Syracuse, was in the booth. Also,
Dick Berggren was out and Roger Slack was brought in to replace him. Slack is the new promoter at Eldora Speedway (under
Tony Stewart ownership) although he spent Super Dirt Week as the grandmaster of track operations (he was in charge of preparing
the one mile track's surface). Slack was a little too willing to plug Eldora throughout the broadcast; I'm sure Stewart
didn't mind.
Unlike last year, the series was able to (just barely) get Friday's card in, so they showed highlights
of Friday night's action. Last year, Friday night was a complete and total washout, requiring two full days of racing
to be done in one long, ten-plus hour event. If you remember, the first half or so of last year's telecast was
chopped to heck and back so that they could cover most of the action. Even then, they were skipping multiple heat races
and B-Mains.
Now, it should be noted that this telecast was not live. The broadcast started at 8 PM EDT and the
sun was still out. There is simply no way that would be possible in a live telecast this time of year. Even so,
SPEED still did not show all of the preliminary competition. They managed to cut out one of the Super DirtCar Series
Heat races (the one that Jimmy Phelps won). In addition, at least one Sprint Car heat race was cut out so that SPEED
could air an interview with Matt Sheppard and Billy Decker. Viewers could see cars coming off the track from a heat
race behind the two racers and DeSpain. Finally, very brief highlights were shown of the fourth Late Model heat (basically
just to highlight Tim McCreadie's adventures). They also talked about the sixth and final Late Model heat, only to go
to commercial (following an interview with Jason Meyers) and skip it entirely.
Like last year, Jimmy Owens' heat race
was cut out of the broadcast. That stuff is just irritating. C'mon now. Also, SPEED only aired the B-Main
that Rick Eckert was in and skipped the other two. The Sprint Cars had D, C, and B-Mains prior to their feature, but
only the B-Main was shown.
It looks like the preliminary coverage was focused on star power. If you weren't in
a heat race with notable drivers, your race wasn't televised. It's bush league. In order to prevent this stupidity,
SPEED should expand this show to six hours or so and push SPEED Center into the overnight hours. It's the only way to
do this event justice. Also, it is being held during a time of year where there is little else on SPEED. Even
if they started coverage at 6 PM EDT or even 5 PM EDT, it would not have gotten in the way of the Nationwide race on ESPN2
since that was over by 3:30. Perhaps it's just not possible to provide legitimate live coverage of an event like this
one. Last year's race day must have been a horrifically tiring experience for everyone involved.
Finally, we
get to the A-Mains. We'll start with the Super DirtCar Series and their 40-lap feature. This event had to be an
outright sprint for these competitors after two straight 200-lap races (Syracuse and Orange County Fair Speedway in Middletown,
NY). The main focus was the point battle between Sheppard and Decker, who were separated by ten points entering the
feature (Note: I don't understand their point system at all. The earning of points for winning features, I can understand,
but not getting 1,000 bonus points. I guess there's a bonus for winning a track championship?).
I expected the
race to be completely focused on those two drivers, and it was. That is, until McCreadie came up from behind and stole
the show. Found it interesting that Victory Lane was on the other side of the catchfence in front of the grandstands
(and also took note of the music from "Days of Thunder" blaring on the loudspeakers). Never seen a setup like that before.
After the race, SPEED provided interviews with McCreadie, Sheppard and Decker. Of note, Decker came off as cordial during
his interview, but according to our own Mike Neff (who just happened to be at the track Saturday night), he was a very angry
man.
Then, we had the Sprint Car feature. No championship battle to worry about here since Jason Meyers clinched
the title basically by showing up. Most of the action was focused on the Madsen brothers (Kerry and Ian) and Donny Schatz.
There were a number of notable drivers, full and part-time, that basically didn't even get a mention all night. Jessica
Zemken wouldn't have gotten a mention at all had she not blown an engine with nine laps to go in the A-main. Tim Shaffer,
last year's winner of the Knoxville Nationals, broke and got nary a mention (yes, SPEED showed his No. 83 being shoved by
a push truck in the infield, but there was no mention of what happened to him). After the race, SPEED brought viewers
interviews with Schatz, Steve Kinser and Craig Dollansky.
Also, a random note. Justin Barger, who was in the
first Sprint Car heat, was thrown out of the Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprints for the season after a ludicrous incident at Lebanon
Valley Speedway on June 18. To make a long story short, Barger and his team tried to intentionally run the rest of the
field out of fuel by intentionally prolonging cautions, then refusing to leave the track after Barger was disqualified.
Then, the team was involved in an incident where the track's pit steward was hit by their race car.
Finally, the Late
Models came out for a 50-lap feature. The main story here was the battle between Rick Eckert and Josh Richards for the
championship. Since neither driver had an exquisite time in the preliminaries (Eckert had to win the Last Chance Qualifier
just to get into the A-Main, while Richards finished third in Heat No. 5 and started 17th).
In the feature, there were
two groups of people that got coverage. One was Richards and Eckert in their championship battle. That was nothing
short of a street fight for 50 laps. The other group was whoever happened to be up front at the time (Jonathan Davenport,
Scott Bloomquist, etc.). SPEED would zoom in their cameras on the duel between Richards and Eckert at times. If
you've read my regular critiques at Frontstretch, you probably know where this point is going.
That's right, with 13
laps to go, there was a big wreck right in front of the championship duo that we couldn't even see because SPEED was zoomed
in so much. That is wrong. I know you want to showcase that battle, but good lord. It would have looked
real bad if one of the two got taken out in what amounted to a "mystery crash" because your cameras were zoomed in like that.
As it stands, Richards did get a piece, while a few other cars (Darrell Lanigan, McCreadie, Chub Frank, Dale McDowell, etc.)
were also involved.
There was a fair amount of discussion based around tire compounds. Based on what was
said on the telecast, the Sprint Car teams were running on some of the softest tire compounds available (at least based on
Goodyear's website). Meanwhile, the Super DirtCar Series teams were racing on some of the hardest Hoosier tires available.
The Late Model teams typically ran medium compound tires. There was a left rear blowout on Ian Madsen's car during the
Sprint Car feature, while some of the Super DirtCar Series teams had to deal with chunking from the tires being too hard for
the track. The only major tire issue in the Late Models was Richards' flat on the last lap of the feature that gave
Eckert the title. That wasn't due to anything other than contact, though.
After the Late Model race, Sheheen,
Doty and Andrews recapped the three features and wrapped up the evening. Post-race coverage included a check of the unofficial
results and interviews with winner Jimmy Owens and Eckert.
Last year, I closed out my critique of the Lowes Foods
World Finals with this statement: "In the future, SPEED needs to figure out what they want to do with this event.
Do they want it to be a event that they simply show highlighted coverage of, or are they going to do it justice and just show
the whole thing 'live live,' regardless of how long it actually takes to do it? There is an audience out there for these
series."
My thoughts on this years' telecast basically mirrors last year's. The cuts are irritating to put up
and hurt the overall quality of SPEED's production. DeSpain's interviews should not be taking away actual racing from
the telecast, but they did. Having said that, they did announce during the telecast that World Racing Group has reached
a multi-year deal with Speedway Motorsports, Inc. to continue to hold the World Finals at the Dirt Track at Charlotte, and
a deal for SPEED to continue to televise it. Perhaps the event will get a much longer timeslot next year.
