2012 Race 14 (Sarabai 300)

Possible altercation between Mura and Jackson

Several witnesses claim that Nami Mura and Eric Jackson engaged in a shouting match after the first round of the Sarabai 300, in which Jackson spun Mura into the path of Ben Atkins coming back to a yellow flag.

Mura told reporters, "[Jackson] just dumped my shit for no reason and damn near killed me on the pit wall. So I gave him a piece of my mind, and he should watch his back.

Jackson was not immediately available for comment. Witnesses of the alleged confrontation said that Mura briefly shouted at Jackson and left with no intervention from officials.

Ashley Tucker does it - Win Number 2 at Motegi

Her performances on speedways have appeared to be stellar, as she picks up another win at Motegi. Her #57 Kalberg's Ice Cream Saar was extremely fast, as she flew from 38th from the grid, to the lead, then after getting damage in a late accident, she was put at the back again, only to fly through the field again and take the win.

"I'd like to win one under green." said Tucker "but I think I'm proving what I'm worth in this series. We've just been so good this year, and I'm thankful that the people here at Riggs Motorsports are giving me this chance. I hope I'm doing them proud!"

After rumours circulated about Tucker using traction control, Tucker was questioned about this.

"Haha, who is this guy?" she said laughing. "Of course I never used traction control. In fact, one of my pet peeves is people who cheat so why would I cheat?"

Tucker jumps to 13th in points with this win.

Carla Rosinski gets a big result for herself

The Dash Cup regular is not one who would be expected to be a part of ARLA competition, but after speculations of her making a move to ARLA, she decided to enter the Motegi race as Dash Cup was a companion event to the ARLA race; and it turns out she's pretty good at it.

Carla climbed out of the #09 Grease Burger car and punched the air in happiness, after a very solid 2nd place finish. The first to congratulate her was her ex-boyfriend Ben Atkins, who came over to her and gave her a hug - perhaps signs of a reunion between the two? While Atkins was still livid about being taken out late in the first race, he was proud of her as he said over twitter, while Rosinski had this to say;

"It's overwhelming! I know I'm not doing burnout or in victory lane like David [Krikorian] or Ashley [Tucker], but 2nd on debut after leading a good portion of the early stages is amazing! I'm happy I led my first ever lap in ARLA honestly, never mind getting an awesome finish for this team!"

Rosinski is currently well in the running for the Dash Cup championship, but she said she'd be just as happy if she won the championship as she was with her finish today.

Ben Atkins wants revenge on Jackson

Ben Atkins is one for bad luck in ARLA, and lady luck bit him again as he was on his way for a good run.

"At first I thought Mura spun, so I was mad, but not at anyone in particular, but now I see that Jackson just flat out turned Mura, I want to beat the shit out of him, honestly. I hope he doesn't show up next race, because he will end up head on in the wall, and I won't use my brake pedal around him. That hit knocked the wind out of me, so I'm going to make sure I do worse to him."

Atkins is looking at a return to Dash Cup in 2013, and has the Spa GP to look forward to, but right now he has to get by with his seemingly lackluster ARLA season.

Dempsey makes noise in the ARLA Elite Series, by nabbing his first top 10 after starting in 31st

"This is crazy mate!" Dempsey would get out of his car shortly after the 2nd round ended, "I can't believe I actually landed where I did." Gerald Lamb apparently saw something in Dempsey if he was able to do this in only his first race. "We made a good choice, though it's too soon to tell where Dempsey will be best at." The team was relatively surprised at the results in end. Dempsey believe he wouldn't do well and wreck out."

Yakoto apologizes, says his driving was "unacceptable"
Kishia Yakoto, driver of the 111 Hibiki Sport Saar, had his ARLA Competitor's License suspended for parking in a dangerous location on Lap 19 in Thursday's Sarabai 300 Race 2. In a press conference in the media room that evening, the 24 year old explained that while his car was low on power, he still shoud've pulled to the inside line. "I respect the decision of the ARLA officials, and will attempt to retake my Apex Driving School exam."
