More Jr. finishes 12th; plans to stay with M&D for '13 season

Michael More Jr. got a chance to show off his #156 HP Engineparts sponsored Lycoia during race #2 of the Governor's Cup weekend in Milwaukee. More Jr. started 11th and lead 16 laps before fading late and finishing 12th.

After More Jr. talked about Jeremy Wilhelm joining M&D next season as well as his plans for 2013.

"Well, I think Jeremy [Wilhelm] will be a good addition for the team. I had a lot of fun racing with him today and I think he would fit in here well. I definitely want to return to this team next year. This is a good group of guys and we are continuing to improve each week."

Jim More, who co-owns M&D with his TM Lights driver Ike Durbin, stated that he is working out a deal to resign Michael for 2013. He also expressed interest in talking with Durbin about adding a 3rd car for current rookie Ryan Gregory.

Gerald Johnson may not have been up in the top 5 most of the race, but was in the right place at the right time to snatch the win. Playing the fuel mileage game Gerald was able to hold on til the finish.

Quick update, Clairmont video is finished, I tried uploading it yesterday at my cousins, but his internet sucks and would have taken about a half a day, and I didn't have that time. I'll be uploading it tomorrow, and the next race will be up between this coming Friday and Sunday. I plan on doing a race a week to get the season done around the first or second week of January.

Salem Write-Up

Twin 1

Collin Evans scored the pole for twin number one. Rest of the top five: 2) 12 - Arikovski 3) 290 - James 4) 96 - Neyman 5) 34 - Zander

The Twin 2 winner from Clairmont, Scott Washington, qualified, and therefore started, last. Along side was his teammate Scott Jonathan.

At the end of the first lap there would be a stack up that sent John Bracchi into the inside wall. He continued, and no caution came out.

Dan Foray, who won the Twin 1 race at Clairmont, was backing up his win with a solid top ten early, runnning seventh.

Caution 1: Lap 5 Ryan Gregory, coming off his best career finish at Clairmont, slapped the wall and was hit by Scott Washington, who was coming off of a win at Clairmont. Both would retire from the race.

Gary Edwards, who was expected to run very well, especially after his podium finish at Clairmont, was running at the back of the pack. He was outside the top 20 early on.

After a few laps, the field began to spread out for a while, and for the most part ran single file. Evans continued to lead.

Jeremy Wilhelm in the 31 scored his best career finish and only top ten to date at Clairmont, finishing eighth. He was running seventh at this point, moving by Dan Foray for the position.

On lap 39, Elena Wagner broke down on the race track and needed assistance to get back to pit road. Oddly enough, the problem was not terminal, and she continued.

Caution 2 - Lap 40 After both cars scored top fives for at Clairmont, M&D Motorsports would have both cars be taken out of the race before halfway this week. The incident started when Angus Black hit the wall and James Proctor, who was commited to the high lane came plowing in and hit the 24. They began spinning down the track, and Michael More, Jr. and John Wargle had nowhere to go and were collected. All four cars would retire from the race.

Jerry Richson and Sara Crims both made stops one lap after the restart, after leading the field to the green. Billy Ray-Smith Thompson in the 106 inherited the lead.

Jess Zander spun Justin Neyman in the back. The caution didn't come out, since this was near the back of the pack. The caution would come out one lap later though.

Caution 3 - Lap 49 Karma strikes when Jess Zander and Aric Arikovski make contact and the result is Zander spinning into the wall. She would retire from the incident.

Top five on the restart: 1) 106 - Thompson 2) 64 - Azure 3) 45 - Halks 4) 76 - Farr 5) 8 - Jonathan

After the restart, Wade Richson blew past the leaders, proving he would have had a car capable of leading had he not had to pit after an earlier restart. He had the quickest car on the track much of the rest of the race.

The field would again become spread out in the latter part of the race.

Gary Edwards was still slow, and not really improving, running 18th, the last car on the lead lap.

No one could touch Thompson for the win though, and he would take the checkered flag.

Twin 1 Results

Twin 2

Thomas Franklin was on pole for the second twin. 2) 65 - Wade 3) 47 - Jones 4) 291 - Hill 5) 28 - LaVerne

Greg Phillips's day would be over before the start of the race, with an engine failure before the start. His teammate Wade, who started on outside pole, would also suffer a terminal problem just ten laps in, while running second.

The field quickly went into fun spread out single file racing. Yaaaaaay...

Debris Caution - Lap 27 Yeah. There was stuff on the track.

Iris Mellado led a group of cars to the restart, none of which made a pit stop under caution like the leaders. They would all pit a lap after, making me think they thought they wouldn't be able to make it on fuel.

Allison Miller in the 79 would take the lead from this. 2) 52 - Mac 3) 14 - Johnson 4) 44 - Whitt 5) 116 - Rogers

Alexander Sybilton and James Proctor, second and fourth in points, were both running at the back of the pack, outside the top twenty. Both were having a fairly bad race.

The rest of the race would be pretty lackluster. The field once again got spread out, and not much else happened throughout the race.

With about 20 to go though, Jacob Mac, who had been running top five, encountered problems and would pit to resolve them. He ended up six laps down at the finish.

Miller dominated the rest of the race and took her first win. An interesting fact. 8 races = 16 twins = 16 winners. There has yet to be a repeat winner this season...I think Razz

"How 'Bout That?!": Smith-Thompson earns first RROL victory:
Many pundits figured that the youngest member of the Matthews Motorsports racing family would be its first race winner.

They were way off.

Billy Ray Smith-Thompson, the elder statesman of the Matthews stable at 40, became the team's first race winner of 2012 in dominating fashion, leading 58 laps.

The win was also the first for the Matthews team chassis, the M12 T-Type.

"How 'bout that?" a jubilant Smith-Thompson said from Victory Lane. "I gotta thank the guys at the shop for giving me such a fast hot rod. This is freakin' awesome! Glad you got to talk to me."

Scott Washington Interview

Q: It's been an amazing couple of weeks hasn't it?
A: Heck yeah it has. Winning Clairmont is something I'll never forget.

Q: Describe that win.
A: Well the team focuses a lot on Clairmont. Rumor has it they are adding another road course but for now many teams went into Clairmont unprepared. We did, and I was able to make the most of that. It was a great day for me and for PDR as a team.

Q: What other race is at the top of your win list.
A: Tampa. I grew up in Tampa and it would be a dream come true to win there.

Q: Who do you enjoy racing the most
A: That's a difficult question. You have guys like Gary Edwards, true veterans and great role models for us rookies, and drivers such as myself, Ryan Wade, Jess Zander, who are up and coming. Gary would be at the top of the list. Ryan and I have had some pretty good battles, including in our Pre RROL days. Jacob Mac and Sara Gallagher are also fun to race with.

Q: Does being one of a few African Americans in racing affect you?
A: It does. Sometimes people don't expect someone of my background to be in racing. But that's face it: There was a time when there weren't many black ballplayers, until Josh Gibson and Jackie Robinson. I think that Robinson is probably one of my heroes because it challenged peoples ideas. My racing hero, as far as stock cars by the way is probably Leonid Roderick or maybe Steve Marshall. I was always a fan of both of them.

Q: Who are you close to off the track in racing?
A: I've become pretty good friends with Thomas Franklin off the track. The RROL has a lot of great guys and ladies in it. I try to stay friendly off the track with most everybody, but I give it my all on the track. Or at least I try to.

Q: Thank You for your time, Sir.
A: Your very welcome.

Officials Announce Series Name Change for 2013 Season

For the third time in three years, the RROL Elite Series will undergo a named change, officials announced. In 2010, the league was called the RROL Elite Series, then in 2011 the VSCC, then changed back to the RROL for this season. However, officials announced in a press conference that the league would have a new name in 2013. The topic of the series name changing had been heavily debated for months, and the issue had reportedly been decided weeks ago, however was never made public due to not having a replacement at the time. Then, at the press conference, it was announced that the league would be called the National Racing Championship starting in 2013. Officials stated that the reason for this change in the series identity, was that they wanted to "write their own chapter racing book," and this was the first step.

CONFIRMED - Cardillo Out at TDR, Mass Changes Expected for 2013

After the RRoL Round of Southern Illinois, Tom Delgado Racing announced that Marco Cardillo would not return to the team in 2013. Team officials cited poor results as the reason for not renewing Cardillo's contract.

"As hard as Marco has worked this season to give us good finishes, it simply has not worked out the way any of us wanted it to. Therefore, it is with regret that we announce that Marco will not return in 2013. Our team is going to have a completely new look, and a completely new attitude" The statement from TDR read.

With Nemoto not expected to return to the series for 2013, it is unclear which manufacturer TDR would approach for use.
