There will be announcements at the banquet concerning our new 2013 sponsorships, rules amendments, and schedule. The 2013 season will launch the ADRA Dirt Master’s Challenge which will consist of 10 to 12 tentative race dates all in the WV, OH, and KY Tri-State region.

The ADRA feels it is very important to hold on to our American values and character especially in this age of anti-Christ and anti-American sentiment. Trusting in God and dirt racing is about as American and it gets and we like it that way! (www.racersinchrist.com) The 2012 Season ended with the Epic Weekend at Brushcreek Motorsports Complex in Peebles, OH. This was a Twin feature event paying $10,000 each. The winner of the 2nd feature had the choice of taking the cash or opting to receive a Harley V-Rod. A record 41 entrants attended this inaugural event for the ADRA with Jackie Boggs out of Grayson, KY in the familiar 4B Swartz chassis taking the 1st feature in dominating fashion after coming from a 6th place starting position and almost immediately assuming control of the lead. Boggs ironically lapped the entire field up to 6th place where he started. Jackie Boggs is the winningest driver in the history of this event known as the Heritage Classic in which a Harley Davidson has been in the offering since the onset of this annual event in 2001. The 2nd feature saw World of Outlaws stand out Shane Clanton in victory lane after a hard fought battle as the 2nd feature was full of action which resulted in several cautions. Local favorite Ben Adkins in the #57 Swartz car held the lead for the lion’s share of the event but Clanton would catch Adkins and after a cobbled restart with 4 to go Clanton stole the lead and went on to victory lane. Clanton would later opt to receive the Harley V-Rod rather than the $10,000 cash payout. The final event would have been the ADRA Dirt Master’s Championship which was schedule for Oct.6th at the WV Motor Speedway was rained out. Due to the other special events happening in that time of the year the onslaught of inclimate weather it was decided not to reschedule the event. This left the ADRA point standings after the Epic Weekend at Brushcreek Motorsports Complex as our final 2012 results and “Hot Rod” Rod Conley in the #71R Rocket chassis out of Wheelersburg, OH our 2012 ADRA Dirt Late Model Series Champion. Rocket Chassis claimed 8 of 10 of the top 10 in ADRA points with Swartz and Mastersbilt claiming the 3rd and 7th respectively. The 2012 ADRA Dirt Late Model Championship Top 10 ended in this order; 1.       Rod Conley, Wheelersburg, OH. 2.       Doug Drown, Newark, OH. 3.       Russ Frohnapfel, Chillicothe, OH. 4.       Zach Dohm, Crosslanes, WV. 5.       Tim Dohm, Crosslanes, WV. 6.       Greggie Oliver, Jackson, OH. 7.       Donnie Moran, Zanesville, OH. 8.       Jason Jameson, Lawrenceburg, IN. 9.       Freddie Carpenter, Parkersburg, WV. 10.     Eddie Carrier Jr. Salt Rock, WV.   There were 8 different winners in 9 ADRA events in 2012 with Donnie Moran being the only repeat winner of the year. There was a grand total of $134,468 paid out to the 2012 ADRA drivers. That averages out to $14,941 as the average cost of an ADRA Super Late Model event even with the higher paying events tallied in. It is evident by the list of winners below and the caliber of talent listed in results on our website at www.adraracing.net, the ADRA is a great deal for the track and provides a really decent pay for the drivers as each race pays a minimum $300 to start. We also averaged out to just over $16 per general admission ticket again even with the bigger events included. That is a win for the tracks, a win for the drivers, and a definite win for our fans in our book. Check out our feature winners list: 1.       Jason Jameson, Moler Raceway Park, Williamsburg, OH $3000 2.       Donnie Moran, Muskingum County Speedway, Zanesville, OH. $3000 3.       George Lee, Hilltop Speedway, Millersburg OH $3000 4.       Doug Drown, Twin Feature 1 Jackson County Speedway, Jackson, OH. $1500 5.       Tim Dohm, Twin Feature 2 Jackson County Speedway, Jackson, OH $1500 6.       Zach Dohm, Midway Speedway, Crooksville, OH. $5000 7.       Donnie Moran, WV Motor Speedway, Mineral Wells, WV $3000 8.       Jackie Boggs, Twin Feature 1 Brushcreek Motorsports Complex $10,000 9.        Shane Clanton, Twin Feature 2 Brushcreek Motorsports Complex $10,000 Series Competition Coordinator, Rocky Estep, was hospitalized the entire week after the final event for pneumonia and a severe staph infection that had him side-lined the better part of the following month but he is at full swing now and ready to go.

“The Million Dollar Man” Donnie Moran
Dominates WVMS “Buzzy Topless Classic”

Apple Grove, WV. September 20, 2012~The “Million Dollar Man” Donnie Moran of Zanesville, OH dominated the 1st Annual Buzzy Topless Classic at the newly reconfigured WV Motor Speedway. www.wvspeedway.com. Moran became the 1st repeat winner of 2012 after 7 of 10 scheduled events for the ADRA Dirt Late Model Championship Series presented by Suddenlink! www.suddenlink.com. Promoter Lynn Chapman and the WVMS crew performed a yeoman’s task getting the facility ready to race in such a short time. Buzzy Holiday, the event name-sake, and crew put in countless hours reconstructing the facility and preparing the track surface. The ADRA is looking forward to our next visit to “the Speed Plant” on October 6th for race number 10 of 10. The American Dirt Racing Association Dirt Late Model Championship Series, now in its 2nd year, is a regional Super Late Model Series competing primarily in the WV, OH, and KY Tri-state region. Our goal is to work with our region’s tracks and drivers to orchestrate special events that treat our fans to dirt racing action as fine as anywhere in the country at a family friendly price. WE MAKE DIRT FLY! www.adraracing.net. Moran won the ADRA Super 8 Dash to gain the pole position in this inaugural event after drawing #1 in the dash redraw. That was all that was needed to take command of the event. The ADRA Super 8 Dash was a teeming with a wealth of talent; Donnie Moran, Jared Hawkins, Eddie Carrier, JR, Chris Garnes, Stevie Lucas, Rod Conley, Zack Dohm , and Freddie Carpenter. The “Salt Rock Express” Eddie Carrier Jr. would make his presence known in the feature by bringing the #28 Grover Motor Sports Rocket to 2nd from a 6th place start as he got by, Jared Hawkins who settled in on a 3rd place finish in the #37. Doug Drown in the #63 Weekley Electric Rocket annihilated the field to win heat race #1 starting from dead last after a horrendous crash into the turn 1-2 wall in warm-ups and was not expected to return. Drown would prove with certainty everyone was wrong by extending his campaign on the field finish 4th in the feature and take yet another Dominator Hard Charger Award. Delmas Conley would also show why he is ranked with the best of the best with a 2nd place finish in heat #1 followed by “King” Sonny Conley 2 time “King of the Mountains” Late Model Champion in his new #1x1 Rocket. Sonny would go on to finish 8th in the feature while Delmas brought his #71 Rocket in 9th. Heat Race #2 saw the #Y4 Tru-Tech Chassis of Anthony Huber take the victory with the #12B of Travis Brookover in tow followed by the “Franklin County Flyer” Russ Frohnapfel in the #45. The #02 of Jason Flory also had a strong run winning the consy with #45(X) of Nick Corbit and the #64 of Marshall Wiblin rounding out the top 18 in the field. The #DT1 of Darin Roush would take the ADRA series provisional. The track did not have a provisional available since it was their 1st race of 2012. “Hot Rod” Rod Conley maintains the series lead by a mere 14 points with an impressive 5th place run in an elite field of our regions very finest competitors. (Rod) Conley in the #71R took the points lead after race #2 of the 10 race schedule. Long time regional veteran Russ Frohnapfel in the #45, who has been a strong runner all year, in spite of engine woes managed to race his way into the field but slipped to 3rd in the points after the afore mentioned crusade by Doug Drown. Donnie Moran holds 4th and the “Zack Attack” Zack Dohm in the #17 Rocket chassis rounds out the top 5 in points. The #C4 Tru-Tech of “Fast Freddie” Carpenter looms just 9 points behind in 6th place. The ADRA’s next stop will be races number 8 and 9 in Peebles, OH at yet another successfully reconfigured track known as “the Creek”. The 3/10ths mile track at Brushcreek Motor Sports Complex will host “One Epic Weekend” featuring the ADRA Dirt Late Models presented by Suddenlink, the OVSCA 410 Sprints, and the UMP Dirtcar Modifieds on September 27-29. There is nearly $88,000 in purse payouts being offered over 3 days and 7 classes involved in this “Epic Weekend”! This is definitely a “MUST SEE” event neither the drivers nor fans will want to miss! The ADRA Late Models will compete in the American Heritage Classic. This will be twin 50 lap features paying $10,000 to win each! The winner of the 2nd feature will have the choice of taking the cash or a sweet 2012 Harley Davidson V-Rod! www.brushcreekmotorsports.com. Here is the catch; the 2nd segment is completely inverted! As the good book says, “The first shall be last and the last shall be first!” (Matt. 20:16) This will create a host of scenarios. A racer’s natural tendency is to win. In this race the decision must include consideration of where their finish in segment 1 will place them for the start of the 2nd segment. Both segments will count as full ADRA points as well so this race will definitely affect the ADRA championship battle. To win both segments will require a herculean effort and quite frankly some luck! Kids be sure to stop by the Racers In Christ booth. They will have the jump house this race. Last race they had an availability problem but that won’t be a problem this race. As always, there will be free Bibles on hand and plenty of spiritual inspiration for anyone in need. We still have a few ADRA T-shirts left and those will also be available at the RIC booth. www.racersinchrist.com.

Drown and Dohm Take JCS Super Mixers!

Next Stop Jim Dunn Memorial!

Point Pleasant, WV. Aug 7, 2012~The ADRA Dirt Late Models (www.adraracing.net) presented by Suddenlink (http://www.suddenlink.com/) lit up the newly remodeled Jackson County Speedway (http://www.jacksoncospeedway.com/) last Friday night with the ADRA/AMRA Twin 25 Super Mixers. In spite of encroaching rains in the area the awesome Jackson County fans still packed the house. The concessions ran out of food and restocked again! JCS fans were treated to 2 action packed ADRA Late Model 25 lap features along with a ground pounder of an AMRA Modified (http://www.amramodified.com/) $800 to win special plus Outlaw 4’s, Mod Lites, and Mini Wedges. The night would be jam-packed with great racing action in every class!

The night began with the #63 Weekley Electric (http://www.weekleyelectric.com/ ) entry of Doug Drown edging out hometown hot shoe Jason Montgomery in the #21 for fast time by mere 100ths of a second. The top 5 times were separated by less than blink as the surface was smooth and racy. This was further demonstrated by our Hard Charger results. Three hard charger awards were posted; Greggie Oliver in the #47 was the over-all hard charger winner taking the Racers In Christ (http://www.racersinchrist.com/) $50 award with a total of 14 commanding passes in both features combined. Tony Roush in the #T8 would move up 11 spots in the 1^st feature to take one of the Dominator Race Products (http://www.dominatorraceproducts.com/) awards and Fast Freddie Carpenter who was running the borrowed #16 car owned by Rod Gibson fought from 19^th to 8^th to win the 2^nd Dominator Race Products award. The 3 Hard Chargers racked up an incredible 36 passes combined! Kudos to the Jackson County Speedway track crew for yet another awesome job insuring the surface was right for racing!

Doug Drown would take the win in the ADRA Super 8 Dash and go on to win the 1^st ADRA Twin 25 feature as well after a hard fought battle with Steve Weigle in the #75 entry coming down from Tyler County WV to make the show and make the show he did. Weigle but on an awesome display of driving skill working his way up to the lead after a fierce multi-lap side by side battle with race leader Drown. The tandem had the crowd on their feet but after getting together in turn 4 as Weigle completed the pass with 4 to go Drown would spin and Weigle was arguably credited with the caution. The “Show Stopper” Tim Dohm in the #6T out of Crosslanes, WV would re-inherit 2^nd and Drown would hang on for the win. ADRA point’s leader “Hot Rod” Rod Conley in the #71R would fight his way to 3^rd, with 2^nd place point’s runner Russ Frohnapfel in the #45 taking 4^th. Hard Charger Greggie Oliver rounded out the top 5 after a mechanical problem during qualifying knocked him out of the Super 8 Dash.

In the 2^nd feature Jack Martin III in the #00 would start of the pole after a complete redraw of the entire field set the staging order. Street Stock super star Jamie Adams in the familiar #42A in only his 2^nd Late Model start would start on the outside pole and waste no time going to the lead. His lead would be short lived as the “Show Stopper” Tim Dohm would assume the lead. “Hot Rod” Conley would make his way through the field from a 9^th place start to take 3^rd but a near calamity in turn 1-2 would back him up several positions. Conley would eventually finish 6^th and hold onto his points lead by a mere 12 points. Adams would make several bids to retake the lead but eventually ended up in 2^nd. Russ Frohnapfel would gain a few hard fought points on Conley with his 3^rd place finish. The ever-present threat to win Steve Weigle would claw his way to 4^th, and RIC Hard Charger winner Greggie Oliver rounded out the top 5 for a 2^nd time of the evening. Heat race winners were the “Kamikaze Kid” Tyler Carpenter in the #28 and Jeremy Misel in the #J52.

The ADRA Dirt Late Models presented by Suddenlink will be at the “Jim Dunn” Memorial on Sunday August 12^th at the Malta Windows Midway Speedway in Crooksville, OH for our next event. This 40 lap event will pay $5000 to win and is one of the most coveted titles in all of dirt racing. The AMRA Modifieds will also be running along with Street Stocks, Outlaw 4’s, and Mini Wedges.

ADRA Dirt Late Model Series Present The ADRA Twin 25’s Super Mixer At Jackson County Speedway

 Point Pleasant, WV. July 28, 2012~On Friday, August 3rd, the ADRA and AMRA sanctions presented by Suddenlink will do battle at Brad McCown’s Jackson County Speedway in Jackson, Ohio. Two features with each paying a purse of $1,500 to win each and $150 to start giving the drivers a chance to come away winning over $3,000 or a minimum of $300 to start both features. Both AMRA and ADRA drivers will get points for both races. This format amounts to both AMRA and ADRA awarding double points for the night’s event. There will be no AMRA fees for this event. The ADRA has no membership fees. The top 10 in ADRA Championship points will have a no entry fee. For all others only a $40 entry fee applies. It just doesn’t get any more affordable for our regions Late Model stars to get a legitimate shot at well over $11,000 cash and 2 point funds! Drivers from all over the region will be filing in for this 1st of its kind inaugural event.

The ADRA tries to make every show as fan friendly as possible as well as challenging to the drivers. The Twin 25’s Super Mixer will be no exception. Hot laps and one lap qualifying will go as usual. We will also present the fan favorite “Super 8 Dash” where the top 8 qualifiers transfer into the feature on qualifying times but will redraw on the front stretch for their dash starting positions. A 10 lap dash will determine the top 8 starting positions in the first feature. All other cars will compete in 10 lap heat races where the top 2 - 4 (depending on car count) transfer to the feature. Last chance 12 lap B-mains will determine the remainder of the field. There will be 2 provisionals for this event with Jason Montgomery and Greggie Oliver having first dibs as a result of their 1st and 2nd place respective finishes in the ADRA Qualifier on July 6th. All restarts in the A-main features will be Delaware Double File until 5 to go in each segment.

Here is where the” Mixer” comes into play: During driver introductions for the 1st segment, a group of young fans (which previously will win redraw duties via a youth ticket drawing to be held prior to introductions) will be redrawing on the front stretch with their respective driver for the starting order of the entire field for the 2nd 25 lap feature. A driver could start anywhere in the field. Any car not able to make the call for the 2nd feature will be replaced by the 1st nontransferring entry from the B-mains. Both segments will start a full field of at least 18 cars minimum. Also, for the ADRA drivers, 2 bonus points per position improved in the 2nd feature will be awarded toward their championship total. To make it interesting, several businesses are sponsoring contingencies, fast time awards, and hard charger awards, so a lot of extra money is on the line above the posted purse as well as assuring every non-transferring driver that starts a Bmain a minimum of $100. The cash opportunities and championship point scenarios are virtually endless!

ADRA & Weekley Electric Mid Season Championship Weekend - Night #2

George “The General” Lee Didn’t Let Up To Win At Hilltop Speedway

With rain all over the Ohio area, none hit the Millersburg, Oh, Hilltop Speedway as 30 cars and stars came to do battle on the 1/3 mile track for the first trip of the ADRA series to the northern tracks of the region.  Doug Drown set fast time of the 30 cars and drew first in the Super 8 dash lineup.  For the second straight night the fastest car drew the 8^th spot and Drown had to prove to be the fastest like Moran did the night before.  The front row this time went to Wayne Maffett Jr and Ross Nicastri.  Nacastri didn’t falter this night has he went on to win the pole.   Doug Drown came to the 3^rd spot as George Lee would pick up the 2^nd spot a front row feature spot.

Heat #1, which the top 2 moved on to the feature, saw Mark Gardiner beat Russ Frohnapfel for the two transfer spots.  Others in the heat that just came up short were Brad Malcuit and Eric Myers.

Heat #2, was a battle between two veterans as Keith Berner outlasted ADRA point leader Rod Conley to the checkers. The next two not making it was Dave Hornikel and Bryan Casey.

Heat #3, was the beginning of Donnie Moran’s quest for the Weekley Electric $1,000 bonus as he won the heat over Charlie Duncan.  Tonight’s crate car came from K C Burdette but came up on position short followed by Wesley Hutchison.

Consy #1, still only had 2 transfers to the feature as KC Burdette wound up his crate to keep the lead over Brad Malcuit.  Coming up short in the race was Ryan Markham who could track down the duo.

Consy #2, went to the track regulars of Dave Hornikel and Wesley Hutchison.  Hornikel looked very good in the consy and would show it in the feature as well.  The nights hard luck award would go to Shane McLoughlin as he blew up in qualifying.

In the feature, Ross Nicastri would go out to the lead over Doug Drown and George Lee.  Nicastri held on for the beginning of the race until Drown took over the point.   George Lee kept it on the high side of the speedway and showed many drivers the fast way around.  One that he showed was Dave Hornikel, which started 16^th and came to finish 6^th, collecting the hard charger of the night.  Lee wouldn’t be denied the high side of the track and picked off Nicastri and finally Drown to go on to win night #2 of the ADRA Mid Season Championship.

ADRA & Weekley Electric Mid Season Championship Weekend - Night #1

Donnie Moran Picks Up His First ADRA Series Win At Muskingham County Speedway

With threatening weather to the south of the Zanesville, Oh, Muskingham County Speedway, 24 cars and stars came to do battle on the 4/10 mile track for the first trip of the ADRA series to the northern tracks of the region.  Donnie Moran set fast time of the 24 cars and drew first in the Super 8 dash lineup.  The Super 8 Dash, for the fans that have not seen one of the ADRA Series races yet is the top 8 times line up on the front stretch and redraw for a ten lap dash to set the first 4 rows of the feature.  Moran, with the applause of the crowd, drew the #8 position, while the #1 wasn’t drawn by anyone so it went to the 8^th fastest driver, the Aussie, Ross Nicastri.  The pole position didn’t fare well for Nicastri as he finished 8^th to start in that position in the feature.   Doug Drown went to the front and won the dash to start on the pole of the feature.  Donnie Moran came from 8^th to 2^nd to be the other on the front row.

Heat race #1, which the top 3 moves on to the feature, saw Shane McLoughlin take the lead and leave the others to do battle for the other two transfer spots.  Steve Prince, Russ Frohnapfel and Brad Malcuit went all out to make the show, changing position many times but Prince and Frohnapfel  moved on to the feature.

Heat race #2, saw Steve Casebolt move out to a big led and never challenged.  Gary Gellner ran a clean heat to finish 2^nd.  George Lee, which started the night not qualifying because of problems with the car, started in the 8^th spot and came to 3^rd to be the last to transfer to the feature.

In the Consy, the final 4 positions were determined, as Brad Malcuit would go to the front.  Muskingham County Speedway regulars did battle for the final spots and it got wild for a few.  Hiram Bachman’s night ended when he hit the front stretch wall.  Todd Brennan, who had a great qualifying time, got ran over the front of the car in the heat and messed up the handling, couldn’t get it fixed and came up one position short.   The only crate car, Boz Daughtery, pick up the final spot in the feature.  Matt Mallett and Bryan Casey finished 2^nd and 3^rd to move on.  Other cars not making the show were Cody Smith, Doug Kenworthy and Chad Hina who retired after the heat race.

In the feature, Doug Drown would go out to a big lead over Donnie Moran as the front runners showed the fast line around the top of the speedway.  Behind the duo, the three wide action was intense between Keith Berner, Zack Dohm and Devin Moran.  The three switch positions many times giving the fans a great show.  The best show came from the hard charging George Lee, which didn’t qualify and by the end of the night came from 24^th to finish 10^th.  As the show wound down and the leaders got to lap traffic, Drown slowed down while Donnie Moran and Keith Berner got faster.  Moran would go to the front around lap 18 and Berner would break away from the third place battle to move to 2^nd ahead of Drown with 5 laps to go.  Donnie Moran proved to be the fastest car of the night and go on to win night #1 of the Weekley Electric ADRA Mid Season Championship and be eligible for the $1,000 bonus for the best average finish of the weekend.
