CLEVELAND, Tenn.(3/09/2013) -- In what can only be described as a Heavyweight Championship SlugFest, reigning Southern All-Star series champion Randy THE DREAM Weaver KO'd the competition to win the $10,000 first place prize for the 18th annual ShamRock Saturday night at Cleveland Speedway. The top-4 competitors stood toe-to-toe for much of the 50-lap "A" Main feature, racing literally wheel to wheel. They pitched sliders on one another lap after lap, until Weaver edged away from the pack taking the race caution free in just under a 13 minutes time.In the end early race leader and two-time ShamRock champion Dale McDowell would fall to 4th, as mid race leader Billy Ogle Jr. salvaged his second top-3 finish of 2013. The only one of the top-4 sluggers to not lead a lap was 8th starting Mike Marlar whom finished 2nd, to the new and back to back Gobbler/ShamRock winner Weaver. David Payne was outta the bout but ran 5th to the lead broud, ahead of Ray Cook, Clint Smith, Eric Wells, Jake Knowles and Jonathan Davenport. In preliminaries Jimmy Owens out clocked the field of 38 other S.A.S. Super Late Models, setting a new track record of 12:756. The previous record (12:813) was held by Dale McDowell, set at the Turkey Rumble event held in 2009.

OGLE JR. FENDS OFF TARHEEL TIGER WINS GRANT ADCOX RACE

The reigning Southern All-Star series champion Billy Ogle Jr. (# 201) of Knoxville, TN earned a hard fought victory over Ray Cook Saturday night at the Willkomm Family's Cleveland Speedway. The Blount Motorsports "Arnold Trucking, Bearden Oil Co., Blount Excavating, Cherokee Millwright, GEO Services, Insurance Partners, Massey Electric, Stowers CAT Machinery, Wine & Spirits Cellar" sponsored Rocket / Custom Race Engines racer held on as a last lap tango brought the fans to their feet for the 23rd Grant Adcox Memorial race finish...

After settling for a number of runner-up finishes during the first half of the season, Ogle isn't having any troubles finding his way to victory lane during the second half of the year, driving to his fourth consecutive victory Saturday night for a $3,500 victory in the third-mile oval

Ogle, earned his second S.A.S series victory of the season in topping Cook and Derek Ellis of Chatsworth, Ga., at the finish. Riley Hickman of Ooltewah, Tenn., was fourth with Skip Arp of Georgetown, Tenn., rounding out the race?s top five finishers. Starting from the pole, Ogle outdueled Cook of Brasstown, NC, with bold move to the high side entering turn one on the race's opening lap. Ogle then took control in the early laps while Cook fell back to fourth. Ellis and Mark Douglas of Knoxville, Tenn., initially gave chase to Ogle
but were unable to match the leaders torrid pace. However, the resolute Cook quickly stormed back into contention, grabbing third from Douglas on lap three then taking second from Ellis on the fifth circuit.

In short order, Cook closed to the rear spoiler of Ogle's car but his charge was interrupted on lap eight when a caution flag waved for two
unrelated accidents that occurred at the same time. Series points leader Randy Weaver of Crossville, Tenn., and Brett Miller of Greenville,
Tenn., banged off of one another as they each tried to avoid another car in turn four while hometown driver Lamar Scoggins and Brian Hickman of Soddy Daisy, Tenn., came together on the back straightaway. Miller was forced to retire from the event but Weaver continued after multiple stops to receive repairs during the caution period. The cars of Scoggins and Hickman were heavily damaged and would be unable to continue. The two drivers were uninjured but did pause to exchange some heated words before heading to the pit area.

Once the race resumed, so did the battle for the lead as Cook drew near to Ogle on multiple occasions only to lose ground shortly after. But a lap-31 yellow flag allowed Cook another chance to make his move for the top spot. Ogle got away briefly after the green flag again came out but Cook reeled him back in. Finally on the last lap, Cook was able to pull briefly alongside out of turn two. But Ogle used the high line to power away on the backstretch and drive on to the win. In other racing action Hickman went on 30-mins later and collected the $1,200 LLM/Crate special event of the night. Lee Harbin won the Hobby feature, Jody Hixson won the A-Hobby race and Cleveland's Jamie Cross won a shortened Pony feature. FWD's didn't race and will have double features next weekend.

BILLY OGLE JR DOMINATES JEAN JOHNSON MEMORIAL S.A.S RACE

CLEVELAND, TN (8/18/12)- Reigning series champion Billy Ogle Jr. of Knoxville, Tenn., led all 40 laps Saturday at Cleveland Speedway to capture the 22nd Budweiser: Jean Johnson Memorial and his first Southern All Star Dirt Racing Series victory of the season. Ogle earned $3,500 in the # 201 Blount Motorsports, Rocket sponsored by Arnold Trucking, Bearden Oil Company, Blount Excavating, Cherokee Millwright, GEOServices, Insurance Partners, Massey Electric, Stowers (CAT) Machinery Corp., & Wine and Spirits Cellaras turning back a host of challengers at the third-mile oval.

"My biggest thing when I was out there out front, I didn?t know where I needed to run," said Ogle, who stretched a personal winning streak to two after a win a week earlier at Smoky Mountain Speedway in Maryville, Tenn. "And I was kind of moving around top to bottom. I finally decided
on keeping it at the top towards the end. I think that's what was causing me some problems, moving around too much, and losing time that
way. I did have a feeling somebody was close to me ... I just felt it.I?m glad to get it over with, because I thought my car was slippingthere at one point."

Alabama's Dingus Griffin, local favorite Skip Arp and S.A.S current points leader Randy Weaver were among drivers who tried to unseat Ogle from the top spot.

"That's what I was trying to do, get myself a little bit of a cushion and get away from that hornet's nest, and get up through some lapped
cars," Ogle said. "But when I got to the back of the lapped cars "a few of ?em pulled out for me "but then the ones that weren't pulling out, I was struggling to get around him. I think that?s what hurt me a lot, too, as far as letting them close up on me. I'm just glad we held on to
the end."

Weaver, of Crossville, Tenn., finished second from his 12th starting spot with Arp, of Georgetown, Tenn., in third. Johnny Chastain of
Murphy, N.C., and Alexandria, AL's Griffin rounded out the top five finishers. Ogle jumped into the lead at the outset and built a sizable advantage, but once outside Griffin took the second spot from Greg Martin, he began applying pressure to the lead after 15 laps were complete. Griffin peeked underneath Ogle a few times as the frontrunners faced traffic while Martin, Jacob Grizzle and Arp gave chase.

A lap-22 caution for the slowing car of William Thomas gave the field an opportunity to catch its collective breath and prepare for the second half of the race. On the restart, Griffin and Martin faded a bit while Weaver and Arp emerged as Ogle?s most serious challengers. Arp went for the lead on lap 28, but that opened the door for Weaver to take the second spot. The race's second and final caution came on lap 37 when Shan Smith blew an engine, setting up a three-lap dash to the finish. Ogle stuck with his high groove and kept Weaver in check over the final laps for the victory..

MADDEN BRINGS THE SOUTHERN NATIONALS T-N-T

Chris Madden made it clear Thursday night that he doesn’t plan on coasting to his fourth Schaeffer Oil Southern Nationals Series championship.With a 30-point lead over Mike Marlar of Winfield, Tenn., entering the 10-race tour’s three-race homestretch, Madden did anything but take it easy at Cleveland Speedway.

Instead, Madden, 37, of Gray Court, S.C., led every lap of the Thursday’s 35-lap feature, turning back early challenges from Billy Ogle Jr. of Knoxville, Tenn., before running away to his third victory on this year’s tour and padding his points lead as the series heads for its final two races over the weekend. Madden earned $3,500 in topping Ogle at the finish line. Marlar advanced from his ninth starting spot to finish third ahead of 11th-starting Randy Weaver of Crossville, Tenn., and Aaron Ridley of Chatsworth, Ga.

Starting from the outside of the front row, Madden in his #44 Century Plastics, Hamrick’s of Gaffney, VP Fuels, Allstar Performance, Extreme Cycles and Hoosier Tire South sponsored Bloomquist chassis powered by a Clements Automotive Racing bolted to the lead on the race’s initial start, but he was soon challenged heavily by Ogle in the opening laps. Ogle dove under Madden on a couple of occasions in an attempt to take the lead before the race’s first caution on lap nine slowed the pace.

Madden flexed his muscle after the restart, leaving Ogle and the rest of the field to battle for second. Ogle held on to the spot as hard chargers Marlar and Randy Weaver moved up through the field. All of the race’s four cautions appeared during the first 18 laps, allowing
Madden and the other leaders to stay out of lapped traffic for most of the race. As the race ran green in the second half, however, Madden found himself having to slice through the tail of the field in the closing laps. But the veteran driver was able to always keep at least one or two lapped machines between himself and his closest pursuers in racing to the victory.

..................................PHOTO's from www.MIKESSPORTSIMAGES.com........................................
“The racetrack was really good tonight and kinda had two lanes there. I seen Billy under me a time or two and had to turn up the wick a little bit,” Maddens said of his early battle with Ogle. “But it was all good. The race car was great.” Marlar, who has two victories of his own on this year’s tour, intentionally set his car up to run the bottom, but he ran out of time to catch the leaders. “We had a good car, just not all night,” Marlar said. “(Running the bottom) was really the only option I had so we just over-tightened the car where I could bend it and do whatever I needed to do. We actually might the right call. It was just one of them shorter distance races and you gotta start a little closer some times.”

Cleveland, TN – June 30, 2012 - It was a scortcher of a day, to borrow a term from an East TN sister-track, but Cleveland Speedway weathered, the over 100 degree temps bringing the Pony Mid Season Championship to life for the ones deciding to brave the heat. As advertised it came down to Danny Burnette and Grady Stokes in a Tennessee vs Georgia battle-brawl for the $500 top prize. In the end, after a lengthy 2-hour delay Mr. Chattown Radiator took his #4 machine back to the winners circle for his 5th trip this season to A-1 Towing Victory Lane for the Burnette Racing Team. In the LLM/Crate division, leading Rookie of the Year continder Booger Brooks of Chattanooga, held off invader Jason Cardwell of Knoxville for his career 1st Late Model win. Booger has been the dominate force for years in the A-Hobby class, but this season he has teamed up with Scott Ohms to start his LM career. Booger's Bunch had a little assistance as power-steering problems plagued the team in qualifying and heat race action. Fellow racer Tyler Adams gave up some goods after a crash knocked him from action and the parts allowed the OHMS Racing #74 "Harrison Transmission, Truck Service Co, Chubby's BBQ, Jason Neely's Race to Cure Parkinson's, Base Racing Fuel, Crusader's Racing, RV Park Palace" sponsored GRT / Crate GM 604 to pull away in the feature. Lee Harbin and Jody Hixson are still terrorizing the Hobby and A-Hobby divisions, with Harbin his 2nd consecutive win and Hixson his 3rd in a row hat-trick victory. Tanner Tyler won the Cruisers feature. Cleveland Speedway is taking next Saturday 7/7 off to do vacationing with family, but the Southern All-Stars invade the following weekend with a Huge Fireworks Show for the Stars N' Stripes Race on 7/14.

WELSHAN HANDLES AX..... DEJA VU WITH SPOOKY 6th VICTORY

Cleveland, TN (4/28/12) --- Deja vu??? Well kinda... Certainly Jason Welshan of Maryville, Tennessee and the FLYIN' WELSHAN BRIGADE must be having this "experience of a current situation, even though the exact circumstances of a prior encounter" since the worn green/black #29 Hidden Hollow Motorsports car dubbed "Spooky" has racked up "back to back to back to back" victories in the past two weeks. Saturday night Welshan in his "B&M Concrete, Competition Racing Equipment, Ronald Sexton Construction, Centerline Construction, Bearden Oil, Hicks & Law Insurance, Jon's Golf-Carts, Smith's Auto Repair, Schenfeld Headers, Stealth Racing Carburators, Outlaw Graphix, Harrison Concrete, Bob Cat of Knoxville/Chattanooga, The Half-Barrel, Bearden Fieldhouse, Shorty Shocks Service, Mighty Muffler, Bakers Transmission" sponsored MasterSbilt / Bill Bunch powered Cindy & Roger Kerr, Gary Rolfe owned machine took another flag to flag 30 lap Late Model feature as the 2012 FULL THROTTLE Points began at Cleveland Speedway. Welshan had to shake off Fast Qualifier Jimmy Elliott at the start and then keep, previous winner The Ax Kevin Gibson from chopping an end to his winning streak that stands at 4 in-a-row and 6 overall this season. Unfortunately for Elliott the night wouldn't end like it began as Jimmy "J" and "The Big Red Machines" Brian Pritchard would crash and collect Jerry Coffman. Behind Gibson was former Track Champion Lil' John Ownbey, The Man in Black James Gamble and Tanner Works. "I get real fired-up when the team is like this... Makes me get-up on the wheel and drive even harder" stated Welshan after the race.

WELSHAN DOUBLE's DOWN WITH SATURDAY VICTORY.....

Cleveland, TN (4/21/12) --- Officials with Cleveland (TN) Speedway will be rethinking their idea on offering a DOUBLE DOWN bonus between itself and its sister track Boyd's Speedway in Ringgold/Chattanooga. This weekend Jason Welshan of Maryville, Tennessee followed the suit of Kevin Gibson last weekend completing back to back victories at the two tracks when he won the 30-lap LLM/Crate feature. The FLYIN' WELSHAN BRIGADE pulled into victory lane after a dog-fight of a battle with Tod Hernandez in the early stages of the feature. Unfortunately Hernandez runner-up finish would be nullified when he refused a post-race protest from Fast-Qualifier/third place finisher Justin Litchford. The LITCHMOB would settle for second at the pay window with Lil' John Ownbey rounding out the Top-3. The Hidden Hollow Motorsports #29 "B&M Concrete, Competition Racing Equipment, Ronald Sexton Construction, Centerline Construction, Bearden Oil, Hicks & Law Insurance, Jon's Golf-Carts, Smith's Auto Repair, Schenfeld Headers, Stealth Racing Carburators, Outlaw Graphix, Harrison Concrete, Bob Cat of Knoxville/Chattanooga, The Half-Barrel, Bearden Fieldhouse, Shorty Shocks Service, Mighty Muffler, Bakers Transmission" sponsored MasterSbilt / Bill Bunch powered Cindy & Roger Kerr, Gary Rolfe owned racecar touted the Front Row Joe starting honors along with Hernandez and followed the heat #2 winner for almost 12 circuits. Welshan wrestled the lead from the #T6 machine as small cautions waved over the next 18 laps for Tyler Adams, Michael Arp a few others. The win marks #4 on the 2012 season coming at three diffenent tracks.

OWENS OPENS UP CLEVELAND's 58th SEASON WITH S.A.S VICTORY

Cleveland, TN (4/7/12) --- The 58th racing season of the Cleveland (TN) Speedway opened up Saturday night to the roar of a huge crowd of spectators as well as competitors for the delayed annual running of the Southern All-Star SHAMROCK race. At the conclusion of the 50-lap $10,000 to-WIN "A" Main event for Super Late Models, THE NEWPORT NIGHTMARE Jimmy Owens of Newport, TN in his #20 "Reece Monument Company, Gantte Appraisals and Red Line Oil" sponsored Bloomquist Team Zero / Cornett Thunder powered racecar prevailed over 28 other raceteams from around the region. The 40-yr old, collected his first checkered flag of the season at Cleveland, in whats become like a second home, where he's been building a steady stream of "O-SHOW" fans in the Tennessee Valley.

"It's been a pretty rough season... a good season, but a rough season, and we finally got our first win of the year, and I'm pretty tickled," Owens told a the crowd in Victory Lane after capturing the victory. "The track was really, really racy. In the heats, I was a little bit worried because it was a little one-laned on the bottom. But it smoothed up and I was able to move around and get by those guys ... It feels good to get the first victory of the season here."

Polesitter Dale McDowell of Rossville, Ga., finished second, breaking a personal three-race winning streak, while reigning S.A.S series champion Billy Ogle Jr. of Knoxville, TN, was third. Clint Smith of Senoia, GA., and Brad Neat of Dunnville, KY, rounded out the Top-5 finishers at the third-mile clay banked oval. The early stages of the 50-lapper looked as if it would be a tussle with most drivers fighting for real estate on the bottom and a handful of drivers looking to make the high side work for them. McDowell shot out to the early lead, but the second-starting Ogle immediately started working the high side of the track, working into the lead on the third lap.

After Ogle's teammate, Tommy Kerr, drew a lap-four caution, Owens went to work on the high side, taking second from McDowell. Owens then set his sights on Ogle. Owens and Ogle ran side-by-side for a number of laps before Owens finally grabbed the lead on the 12th circuit. Owens built a straightaway lead over Ogle by the halfway point, an advantage erased for Skip Arp's turn-three spin. On the restart, Owens once again pulled away from the field. McDowell got back around Ogle for second. Ogle then found himself in a battle for Smith for the third spot while Owens was out front alone.

"We were too loose," runner-up McDowell said. "We were pretty good in the heat race, and we just didn't change enough to tighten up. So hat's off to Jimmy and those guys. He had the car to beat and we'll just take note and come back next time and try it again." Ogle was strong early on the high side but couldn't hold off Owens, who made the winning pass exiting turn four. "I started running the top and I could feel it coming on, and I got the lead there," Ogle said. "It just seemed like I started slipping a little bit after that. I just could touch the gas pedal like I was. I was having to really baby it and started pushing a little. But you know, I'm happy to get third. If you'd have asked me before the night started if I'd have taken a top-three, I sure would've."

LAMAR SCOGGINS TAKES ANOTHER 2012 OPENER @ CLEVELAND

Cleveland, TN (4/07/2012) --- A week after taking the North GA 2012 Season Opener, Lamar Scoggins of Georgetown, TN returned to his home track in Cleveland, TN to claim the LLM/Crate $1,500 prize Saturday night at Cleveland Speedway. The Late Model Veteran is a WILD-DEUCE now winning back-to-back features and there could be no end in sight as the "M&S Motors, Chattanooga Auto Auction, Chambers Equipment Sales, Bodies by Rick Hixson Fabrication" GRT / Race Engine Design powered team could start a domination streak. Scoggins was locked into Saturday's feature setting Fast Time (14:30) over an almost 30 car field. Scoggins who's winless so far in a pair of events at nearby Boyd's Speedway in Chattanooga, could set his sights on next Friday's Steelhead LM feature, where he's been a top runner on a regular basis. Cherry Log, GA's Shannon Bearden (also #32) has given Scoggins alot of competition and that was the case Saturday at Cleveland
