| ASA SET TO INVADE BRONSON THIS WEEKEND! |
By: John Meeks – Speedway Media
The ASA Southeast Asphalt Series is storming into Bronson, after a great race in Lakeland last weekend, as Flagship RV’s presents the RC Cola-Moon Pie ASA Southeast Asphalt Series Gator 100 this Saturday Night at the ASA Sanctioned Bronson Motor Speedway! Come see Florida Drivers and local favorites Travis Cope, Jay Middleton, Chris Fontaine and Sean Bass go against Super Late Model Drivers from all over 7 States including Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Kentucky, Texas and Pennsylvania. Point leader Michael Pope of Georgia and 2nd place Preson Peltier on Concord, NC will be on hand to protect their points lead! 100 Laps of hard charging Late Model Action on the high banks of Bronson Motor Speedway this Saturday Night May 10!
Last Saturday Night, as the Bronson Speedway staff braced for the Flagship RV Show (Continuing at the Speedway through May 11) it was another beautiful night for racing. Once again the local racers were in the spotlight for their “Grassroots Racing” program. In additional to the furious action on the race track, fans were able to get a sneak peek at the world class RV show the facility is hosting for Flagship RV this week. As the night began some of the fans were eager to see if a couple of drivers could keep their winning streaks intact, while many fans were eager to see some new faces in victory lane.
This season, the Sportsman Division is not only competing for the track championship honors, but some national recognition as well. Joe Gibbs Driven Oil is sponsoring an ASA National Championship Award for the top division at all ASA Sanctioned race tracks. The Joe Gibbs National Champion will not only receive top honors, but also get a chance to drive a Joe Gibbs Race Team race car. So as the Sportsman drivers are competing at the local level, they are competing on a national level as well. Mike Baker of Inglis was in line to win his third race in a row. Shelton Bowers, William Edwards and others were trying to put a stop to Baker’s winning ways. After an incident on lap one led to a complete restart, Baker zoomed into the lead and never looked back. He was able to lead wire to wire for this third consecutive win. Trenton’s Bowers would come in second, followed by William Edwards of Gainesville.
Another winning streak was on the line in the Super Stock Division. Dunnellon’s Brent Cooper was in search of his fourth win in a row. Some old familiar faces were in town to try to capture a win for themselves. Kyle Peters got a tremendous start and led the early laps. Cooper was waiting in the wings to snatch the lead away if Peters made any mistakes. Also on the prowl, Doc Batson, moved up from his spot deep in the field toward the front. On lap 14, Cooper took advantage of a bobble by peters and took the lead. Soon after, Batson made contact with Larry Welter, Jr, eliminating Batson from contention. Cooper sped away for his fourth win over Welter, Jr and Peters.
In thunder Stock action, Bobby Taylor held off a strong charge from Todd Roberts and Brian Eggleton to post another win. It was Taylor’s third win of the season in the Thunder Stock Division.
Flagship RV’s presents the RC Cola-Moon Pie ASA Southeast Asphalt Series Gator 100 this Saturday Night. The Bronson Sportsman, Super Stocks and Thunder Stocks will also be in action. Grandstands Open at 4 PM and the racing begins at 7:30. Adult admission in the Grandstands only $ 20.00 and kids 11-under are free! For more information contact the speedway office at 352-486-2763.
