“Jameson Wins $3000 in ADRA “5^th Annual Freedom Fighters 40” at MRP!

Apple Grove, WV- May19, 2012~ Racin’ Jason Jameson of Fairfield, OH raced his way to Victory Lane in Moler Raceway Park’s (www.molerracewaypark.com) 5^th Annual Freedom Fighters 40 featuring the ADRA Super Late Models presented by Suddenlink. (www.suddenlink.com). Yet another packed house enjoyed a star-studded full field of some of the very best talent in the region. www.adraracing.net.

Jameson, who set fast time at 12.509 in the Lanigan’s Autosports #29 Rocket, started in the 3^rd position as a result of a 3^rd place finish in the “ADRA Super 8 Dash.” The ADRA Super 8 Dash is a brand new format for the ADRA that Race Director, Donnie Mercer, put together. The Super 8 Dash aligns the fastest 8 qualifiers by order of a redraw on the front stretch to determine their starting position. Then they race for starting positions in the A-main feature by order of their finish in the Super 8 dash. The remainder of the field is determined by the remaining heat race results.

“Hot Rod” Rod Conley won the 1^st ever ADRA Super 8 Dash and started on the pole but the “Silver Shark” Scott James would assume the lead off turn 2. Conley, who is the 2011 defending champion of this event and also the 1^st ever ADRA Late Model feature winner, would duel with Jameson for 2^nd for the next few laps with Jameson finally getting by. After that Jameson set his sights for the leader. After a 7 lap side by side skirmish with Scott James in the #81 Clearwave Communications Rocket, Jameson would take the lead and never look back. “K-Rob” Kent Robinson made an impressive late charge to the 2^nd place position in his familiar #7R Keyser Manufacturing Mastersbilt from an 8^th place starting position to win the Hard Charger award.

When the checkers dropped the top 5 were Jameson, Robinson, James, Conley, and Duane Chamberlain in the #15 car, who had an impressive run starting 10^th and finishing 5^th. Hoosier Racing Tire takes point #1 in the Tire Manufacturer Points as the winning tire for this event. The winning tire receives 1 point per feature win.

A special thanks to Moler Raceway Park and their crew for preparing a superb racing surface and for their hospitality. We would also like to thank the Racers In Christ Ministry for all their help and the service they provide to our fans and our Lord and Savior.

The ADRA Late Models will have a tandem event weekend coming up as we travel to Jackson County Speedway in Jackson, OH for the “Jackson 50” on Friday June 29^th (www.jacksoncospeedway.com) and the “North vs South Battle of the Midway at Midway Speedway in Crookesville, OH (www.midwayracing.com) on Saturday June 30^th for race #2 and #3 of 2012. Both tracks are new to the ADRA Late Model’s in 2012.

Apple Grove, WV. April 28, 2012~ the ADRA Late Models presented by Suddenlink will be back in action for 2012. We are working feverishly to complete our schedule and complete sponsor negotiations for our 2012 ADRA Points Fund. We are anticipating an announcement in the very near future. (www.suddenlink.com) We do know we have an accumulative minimum point’s fund of just over $10,000 contingent upon completing 10 events. Our goal is to do 10 well-funded races annually; strategically scheduled around other special events in the region as much as possible to encourage maximum participation from drivers and fans. (www.adraracing.net) We have 7 races in the books at this time with 3 pending final approval and will be announced ASAP to complete our 10 race schedule. Our 1st event will be Moler Raceway Park on May 18th for the 5th Annual Freedom Fighters 40 in honor of our brave men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces. "Hot Rod" Rod Conley is the defending Champion of this event.

(www.molerracewaypark.com)

The 2012 season will include a first time visit to Brushcreek Motorsports Complex in Peebles, OH. for the 2012 Epic Event September 27th-29th featuring the ADRA Late Models and the OVSCA Sprint Cars. The ADRA Late Models will compete in twin 50 lap segments for $10,000 to win each. The winner of the 2nd segment will have a choice of the cash or a brand new Harley Davidson motorcycle.

The 1st will be on June 30th for the Battle of the Midway North vs. South Battle and the 2nd ADRA Late Model event will be Sunday September 30 for the "ADRA Late Model Topless 40".

Details for this very special event will be announced as they are finalized. (www.jacksoncospeedway.com)

We have gone to great lengths to keep travel to a minimum and the tracks have all stepped up to provide ADRA competitors with excellent purses for 2012. The ADRA National Champion will have to beat some of the best talent in the country on some of the best tracks in the region to win the crown. Promotion and Affordability is the cornerstone of the ADRA’s foundation. By limiting travel to save on fuel costs and enforcing cost reducing tire rules re-enforced by relentless promotion the ADRA will bring our fans the best of the best for 2012 while helping our drivers live the dream of competing for a national title. As always, the Racers in Christ Ministry will be on hand at all ADRA events in 2012 spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ and providing spiritual inspiration to those in need. The RIC will have a booth with FREE Bibles and a jump house for the kids. There will be toys and T-shirts available as well. So be sure to bring the kids by. (www.racersinchrist.com )

ADRA Looking Forward to 2012 Season!

Apple Grove, WV. ~ January 7, 2012- The American Dirt Racing Association

(ADRA) presented by Suddenlink Communications (www.suddenlink.com)

is anxiously anticipating the 2012 racing season. 2011 proved to be quite

successful in spite of a late inauguration, inclimate weather, and an economy

which continues to struggle. The ADRA overcame these challenges drawing

healthy fields of cars boasting an impressive first year average car count of 25

which consequently gave rise to record crowds. The ADRA held true to our goal

of showcasing our region’s very best racing talent by way of relentless

promotion and top shelf dirt racing action. We accomplished this while staying

within a manageable budget grounded on keeping travel to a minimum and

implementing cost effective rules which remain all-inclusive.

“Our region is teeming with great racing talent and there is absolutely no

shortage of folks who want to enjoy top notch racing,” explained Series Event

Coordinator Rocky Estep. “However, we must improve in the areas of effective

promotion and unified organization. We have too many really good folks going

too many different directions. The ADRA is designed to work with these folks

as one and present the best motorsports entertainment possible to our regions

fans.”

Every track in the region, (the country for that matter), wants to provide just

that to their fans. All of them host special events and spend countless hours

working diligently while spending massive amounts of money to make this

happen. All the components are here but we could be using them much more

judiciously. The ADRA’s goal is to work with all our tracks, series, and drivers to

schedule well promoted special events, ran in a professional manner, while

treating our fans to unsurpassed value for their entertainment dollar. We will

accomplish this by coordinating events between tracks and series in the region

to provide fans with an unprecedented plethora of dirt racing action for 2012.

By doing these things we subsequently establish an attractive platform of

unparalleled exposure for sponsors who may be considering motorsports as a

means of advertisement.

Another important part of the ADRA’s mission is to make the good news of the

gospel of Jesus Christ available to all we come in contact with. We do this

through the Racers In Christ Ministry (RIC). RIC racing evangelists, Tony and

Jesse Dillow distribute free Bibles and provide spiritual inspiration to all those

in need. The RIC has a booth set up at all ADRA events. For more information

check out; www.racersinchrist.com.

The ADRA would like to invite all tracks, series, drivers, fans, and sponsors to

join us in this effort. The ADRA will be greeting the 2012 season at the Dave’s

Gone Crazy Sell and Auction at Poske’s Performance Parts (www.poske.com) in

Parkersburg, WV. The 2012 DGCS will be held January 12 through January 21 2012

. The ADRA will be on location Saturday January 21st.

Until then have a Happy New Year. Check out the ADRA sponsors and remember

by working together;

“WE MAKE DIRT FLY!”

Congratulations to the "Salt Rock Express" Eddie Carrier Jr. winner of the ADRA

Model Fallfest 40 at Moler Raceway Park and the 1st ADRA DIRT LATE MODEL

SEASON CHAMPIONSHIP!!! Eddie won 3 out 4 events and has accumulated

$10,700 in ADRA championship event prize money provided by ADRA member

tracks MRP, SOS, and L7S!!! Full story coming soon!!!!!

Apple Grove, WV (October 7, 2011) - The regular racing season ended with a

bang at Moler Raceway Park with a second visit by the ADRA Late Model Series

presented by Suddenlink (www.suddenlink.com) and lots of extra money on

the line in all four classes. In the Late Models, It was the Salt Rock Express,

Eddie Carrier Jr., turning the fastest lap in qualifications with a 12.418 to just

edge Chad Stapleton for top honors. In heat race action it was Carrier taking

heat race number one while Stapleton would claim the victory in heat two.

In heat three things got interesting as “Wildthang” Greg Johnson was leading

but contact with “Hot” Rod Conley would cut his Johnson’s tire and eliminate

him from the race while Conley would have to restart from the tail. On the

ensuing restart Barry Doss would go on to claim the checkers. Carrier would

start 3rd in the feature after the ADRA's heat race winner redraw so it was Doss

out front at the drop of the green but Stapleton would battle by to take top

honors on lap 4. By lap 10 it was the Grover Motorsports entry of Carrier out

front and setting sail. The racing was tight behind him though as Stapleton,

Doss, Conley, and Jason Jamison would battle furiously on the ¼ mile bullring.

By the midpoint Conley had worked his way up to second from his sixth starting

spot but to no avail as ADRA season long Champion Eddie Carrier, Jr., would not

be denied a trip to victory lane at Moler Raceway Park. Rod Conley would come

home second with Doss taking third while Tim Prince and Jameson rounded out

the top five positions. "The Boss, Barry Doss, claiming another Track

Championship in the Sunesis Construction Late Models.
