All Stars Return to “The Track That Action
Built”
CAMARGO, IL (9-6-06) – The All Star Circuit of Champions will return to Fremont
Speedway in Fremont, Ohio this Saturday, September 9th making this their third
appearance at the facility in 2006. Many drivers on the All Star tour have
called the 1/3 mile clay oval home at some point in their career. All Star
legends Jack Hewitt, Frankie Kerr, Rick Ferkel, Al Liskai, and Jim Linder have
several wins in the Fremont record book. The future All Star legends are set to
do battle with the tough Fremont regulars this Saturday night.
The All Stars have always put on an exciting show for the fans at Fremont
Speedway and this event will be no different as the season points chase is
nearing the end. There are many local racers who will insure that the car count
will be good in the heart of 410 country and the competition level will be high
on the tough little bullring.
The All Star series last visited Fremont during Ohio Sprint Speedweek and the
capacity crowd witnessed young hotshoe Ricky Stenhouse Jr. chase down Dale
Blaney to take the win. The car count was one of the highest nationally for 410
sprints in the 2006 season. As another season is coming to a close, we hope that
the All Star fans will be out in force to cheer on their favorite drivers and
witness what has historically been some of the closest and most exciting racing
in 410 sprints. For information on admission prices, advance tickets, and

Chad Blonde Thunders to First All Star
Victory
MAYETTA, KS (8-14-06) – The All Star Circuit of Champions visited Thunderhill
Speedway in Mayetta, KS in 2005 with a first time All Star feature winner – Cody
Geldart – who then went on to win the All Star Rookie of the Year title. In
2006, it would appear that history is about to repeat itself. Chad Blonde, who
has a commanding lead in the Rookie of the Year points, chalked up his first
ever All Star victory in Kansas, much like his predecessor Geldart. With only a
few races left on the All Star schedule, he is poised to collect the Rookie of
the Year award as well if he can hold off Brandon Martin’s charge.
Greg Wilson, who leads the All Star season points, set quick time atop the 19
car field that made the tow to Kansas on a Monday night after the Knoxville
Nationals long week of events. A great crowd came out to see the All Stars in
their only appearance in the Plains States in 2006 and it was announced that the
All Stars will return to Thunderhill Speedway again in 2007.
Though Wilson snared the top spot in qualifying, it was Blonde who had the
fortune of qualifying 6th, putting him on the front row of the A-main with the 6
car inversion. After a lap one crash by Bob Bennett who flipped hard down the
backstretch, Blonde would use the complete re-start to rocket to the lead and
never look back.
The red flag would fly again for JR Topper just a few laps into the race, but
Blonde held onto the lead on the re-start with Jesse Hockett running him down
from his 8th starting spot and Danny Smith charging to the front from his 7th
starting spot. Hockett would challenge Blonde late in the race as the two
entered lapped traffic, but Hockett ran out of fuel with just a handful of laps
to go putting an end to his great run and sending him to the tail. Hockett was
able to restart the race and finished 8th. Blonde, who has been getting stronger
each week with the experience he has gained this season, was able to keep the
experienced Smith behind him until the checkered flag flew on lap 30.
This was Chad Blonde’s first victory with the All Stars, but he has racked up
several wins at Butler Speedway near his home in Litchfield, MI as well as other
wins around the Ohio area. Chad joined the All Stars this season with the
intention of becoming the 2006 Rookie of the Year and he and his team have
worked hard all season long to accomplish that goal. Not only does he lead the
Rookie points, but he sits in 3rd place in overall season points behind Brock
Mayes who is currently in 2nd place. Chad and Brock have exchanged that position
a few times this season as they both try to reel in Wilson going into the home
stretch.
Brock Mayes won the Haulmark Dash and the heats were won by Jim Cameron, Brandon
Martin and Paul May.
Next up, the All Stars head to Sharon Speedway in Hartford, OH on Saturday Sept.
2nd for the Sharon Nationals. For more information, please visit

Brownsburg Bullet Back In Victory Lane
ROSSBURG, OH (8-4-06) – The All Star Circuit of Champions took on the
World of Outlaws once again at the high banks of Eldora Speedway in
Rossburg, OH on Friday evening. The latest event in the showdown series
between the two traveling groups saw Joey Saldana take the lead from
Donny Schatz with just two laps to go to net Saldana his 2nd
consecutive victory at Eldora.
"I never tried to run in the middle because usually when I do that, I
lose my right rear tire," Saldana said. "The longer the race got, I knew
he (Schatz) would get slower because he was not running against the
fence in turns three and four. That's where I was gaining so much
momentum on top. He was running so low going into (turn) three that it
was scrubbing speed. I knew sooner or later I could get him. It was just
getting to a lapped car and have him have to move his car. It happened
with only a couple laps to go."
Saldana’s car owner Kasey Kahne was in attendance to see his driver win
another race on the big half mile. "It feels really good," said Kahne.
"When I come and watch him, he does an awesome job at this race track. I
think Donny (Schatz) may have been a little better, but he got bound up
in lap traffic and Joey took advantage of it. Joey did a great job and
the guys did a great job giving him a good race car."
"His wins pay a hell of a lot more than mine do," Saldana said jokingly
of his car owner. "It is very cool to drive for him. He has definitely
changed my racing career, so hopefully we can keep this up."
All Stars Dale Blaney and Danny Smith had to make the A-main by way of
transferring from the B-main, but managed to use their experience at
Eldora to climb into the Top 15 by the end of the 30 lap affair. Blaney
would come from the back to finish 8^th and Smith would finish 11^th .
Brock Mayes and Brandon Martin also scored Top 15 finishes in 13^th and
14^th place respectively.
The All Stars also held the 17^th through 22^nd spots in the A-main with
All Star points leader Greg Wilson, Rob Chaney, Neil Shepherd, Chad
Blonde, Butch Schroeder, and Ricky Stenhouse, Jr.
The All Stars will take a short break for the Knoxville Nationals and
then be back in action on August 14th at Thunderhill Speedway in
Mayetta, KS.

From there, the All Star series follows the Outlaws back down I-75 to the big ½
mile Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, OH on Friday August 4th. The All Stars last
visited Eldora during the Kings Royal weekend and also during Ohio Sprint
Speedweek for the $10,000 to win finale where Dale Blaney not only took the win,

King Joey the 23rd!!! Brownsburg Bullet
Victorious at Kings Royal
ROSSBURG, OH (7-14-06) – Every summer in the middle of July, the small town of
Rossburg, Ohio increases its population by about 18,000 people for the annual
King’s Royal event. The crowds converge on Eldora Speedway from all directions
to see one of the greatest spectacles in motorsports. The 23rd Annual Kings
Royal by Crown Royal did not disappoint those who traveled from near and far to
witness the event in 2006.
Friday’s event, dubbed “The Knight Before the King’s Royal” was won by Craig
Dollansky after early race leader Kevin Swindell flipped in turn one. “It’s
pretty tough when you run above the cushion like that,” said Dollansky. “The
cushion was pretty deep. I felt like we would have a good shot in lapped traffic
because he (Swindell) was good on the open track by himself. This car was
running good.”
The big story of the evening was Dale Blaney who started the A-main 24th and
used the bottom of the track to work his way to the front picking off 2 and 3
cars per lap. “I didn’t need the red with ten to go,” said Blaney. “The last
nine laps I kind of struggled. I could see McCarl and Walker and who knows where
we could have ended up. The way the track was, it was hard to pass anyone.
Everyone tried to run around the curb. Starting 24th we took a chance and ran
the bottom. We started going good out there and stayed out there. We kept
rolling.” Blaney would finish the night in the 4th spot behind Dollansky, Terry
McCarl, and Tyler Walker. Kenny Jacobs rounded out the Top 5 in the JEI
Performance house car fielded by Barry Jackson.
Saturday’s King’s Royal by Crown Royal event was dominated early by Danny
Lasoski who jumped out to the early lead from his front row starting position,
but it was Joey Saldana who would keep Lasoski in his sights for the first 19
laps. On lap 20, Saldana maneuvered around Lasoski and checked out. He would go
on to win the event and be crowned King Joey the 23rd.
“It feels pretty good,” Saldana said. “The best of the best were here. Everybody
was here and this shows we are no slouches. You have to feel confident with
these guys that you can win. If you don’t then you won’t get it done. I was
confident coming in here. We didn’t get it done the first time we were here this
year, but we didn’t get down. We came out strong and got the job done.”
Behind Saldana, Donny Schatz ran down Lasoski in the final laps to finish 2nd.
“I’m here trying to win,” said Schatz. “We had a decent car, but it was not
quite as good as theirs. They have put a lot into their engine program and it is
obviously paying off. It will be nice to get on some track where we can slow
down and race a little bit more. We’ll be going to some of those this week. We
are in the summer heat, and the speeds will slow down, and we look to be
better.”
Kevin Swindell must have been paying attention to Dale Blaney’s Friday night run
as he started the A-main 23rd and passed more cars than anyone giving him a 4th
place finish. Rounding out the Top 5 was Outlaw rookie contender and former four
time All Star champ Chad Kemenah.
The All Stars will be back in action on August 2nd with the World of Outlaws at
Butler Speedway in Quincy, MI. From there the series travels to Eldora Speedway
with the Outlaws on August 4th. The July events at Southern Raceway in Milton,
Florida have been cancelled.

season will be available soon.

Saldana Heavy on Throttle; Stenhouse Light
at Scales
LIMA, OH (7-13-06) – Joey Saldana honored sprint car hero and legend Brad Doty
with a victory in the Brad Doty Classic at Limaland Motorsports Park on Thursday
night. 44 cars packed the pits to take part in the event that was postponed from
Wednesday’s heavy showers that fell throughout the Ohio area.
The large crowd watched as Saldana rocketed around the ¼ mile high banked
bullring in Western Ohio as he piloted his Kasey Kahne owned Curb Records
sponsored machine to another feature win in the highly anticipated event
co-sanctioned by the World of Outlaws and the All Stars Circuit of Champions.
“I felt like in traffic I was doing pretty good,” Saldana said. “It seemed like
it was my Achilles heal on the other short tracks. I kind of got myself in a bad
situation and lost some momentum and those guys ran me down. I definitely felt
pretty good though. Traffic always dictates the winner on a quarter-mile. We
still had the speed, and I’ll take it.”
Saldana was thrilled to win the Brad Doty Classic, a race which has become one
of the “must see” events each summer. “It’s huge,” said Saldana. “He was a hell
of a race car driver. I’ve been trying to do this for a while since I was with
the All Stars. I have come really close and we got it done tonight.”
Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who made his return to the area after picking up three wins
during Ohio Speedweek – including one at Limaland – fought his way to the front
from his 3rd row starting position as he held off Donny Schatz while picking off
Brooke Tattnell, Daryn Pittman, and finally Terry McCarl with just a few laps to
go. He crossed the finish line just a few car lengths back from Saldana in 2nd
place, however post race inspection found him to be 10 lbs. light at the scales
as he weighed in at 1365 lbs. He was scored in 24th place.
McCarl, who earlier in the evening won the dash, would inherit 2nd place from
Stenhouse followed by Schatz, Danny Lasoski, and Tattnell. “Early on I think I
had a better car than Joey in the middle of the track and down low in traffic,
but the yellow kept coming out,” said McCarl. “He ran the top better than me and
probably better than anyone out here. I was moving around and tried everything
with my car and looked around up there. I was a little more aggressive with the
car on the top. I had to make a bonsai move on the start, but he was a little
better. We were hoping to win the Brad Doty Classic, it’s a big race.”
All Star points leader Greg Wilson, who started deep in the field, made an
astonishing charge to the front making it all the way up to 6th place through
heavy traffic and looked to have one of the fastest cars on the track at the end
of the race. However, with just a handful of laps remaining he got into the turn
3 fence and flipped ending what would surely have been a Top 5 run.
All Star members Dale Blaney finished the night in the 7th spot as Danny Smith
and Phil Gressman finished 12th and 13th. Chad Blonde was 14th, Bobby Clark
17th, Greg Wilson 18th, Byron Reed 19th, Tim Hunter 21st, and Brock Mayes 22nd.
Stenhouse rounded out the field in 24th after the weight infraction.
Next up, the All Stars head South to Eldora Speedway for the two day Kings Royal
event on July 14th and 15th. For more information, please visit

Tattnell Wins Wild One at I-55 Raceway
PEVELY, MO (7-8-06) – Brooke Tattnell picked up his 3rd World of Outlaws feature
of 2006 on the short bullring known as I-55 Raceway in Pevely, MO. He led 33 of
the 40 laps as he was hounded by Joey Saldana and Donny Schatz the entire way.
As the track began to take rubber through the turns it was very difficult to
pass, but Schatz made every effort to get by Tattnell and the two exchanged the
lead several times. In the end, Tattnell’s retro-looking #8 machine was headed
to victory lane.
“I’m pretty happy and proud of this team right now,” said Tatnell. “The guys did
an awesome job tonight. We made the decision to change the car after the dash,
even though we were good in the dash. We win together as a team and we lose
together as a team. We all made the decision.”
In the waning laps of the event, tires became the big story of the night as Troy
Little lost a right rear tire on lap 30 and then several more cars lost right
rear tires on lap 34. Tatnell was hoping they had chosen the right compound to
get them through all 40 laps. As the tire problems ensued, Schatz found himself
with an ill handling race car and just tried to hold on to his position, but a
hard charging Daryn Pittman got around him in traffic and All Star points leader
Greg Wilson followed.
“I think I had the right tires on,” said Schatz. “Something happened to the car
and I don’t know if it was tire-related. The tire did have a real weird shape
when we got done, and it can happen. We used it pretty hard, and it had enough
to finish the race. The last 10 laps, I could not turn. I don’t know what is
broken, but something definitely happened. We will have to find out what it
was.”
Wilson would have his best finish of the season so far in co-sanctioned racing
with the World of Outlaws. “It was an awesome night for us,” Wilson said. “It’s
our best ever finish with the World of Outlaws. We’ve been running strong all
season with the All Stars and it’s good to go into the ‘Month of Money,’ with a
good finish.”
Wilson is ready for the upcoming Brad Doty Classic on Wednesday night, an event
he has won in the past. He also is looking forward to the Kings Royal weekend at
Eldora, as he continues to have a strong season.
“It’s pretty exciting for us,” said Wilson. “Lima is one of our home tracks. My
owner is giving me great equipment and we have had some great weather. We are
excited to go back to Ohio.”
Danny Smith had a good run all night long and he finished just outside of the
Top 10 in 11th place. Chad Blonde also had a good night as he started the A-main
on the front row outside of Tattnell after finishing 2nd to Tattnell in the
dash. He was not able to hold on, however, and slipped back to 15th place.
Paul May finished 16th and Brandon Martin was 20th. Brock Mayes was barely edged
out of the transfer spot in his heat race by Brandon Martin. The two touch as
they crossed the line sending Martin into the turn one fence.
Mayes had more bad luck as he was charging to the front in the B-main as he got
together with the #19 of Becca Anderson which flattened his left rear tire and
sent Anderson head on into the turn one fence. Mayes was able to restart and
made a hard charge up through the field, but ran out of laps leaving him with a
7th place finish.
The All Stars will be back in Ohio on Wednesday July 12th for the Brad Doty
Classic. The event will be held at Limaland Speedway this year for the first
time. From there, the series heads south to Eldora Speedway for the two day
Kings Royal event.

Haudenschild Wins City of Lawrenceburg
Sprint Nationals
LAWRENCEBURG, IN (7-7-06) – “The Wild Child” showed everyone once again how he
got his nickname as it took a couple of wild moves to get past Joey Saldana and
Craig Dollansky to win the City of Lawrenceburg Sprint Nationals. Jac
Haudenschild nearly crashed on Lap #1 as he bicycled through turn two, but
managed to maintain control and held onto the car. Throughout the 40 lap event,
Haudenschild would flirt with disaster several more times, battling both lapped
traffic and a rough track.
Joey Saldana lead the first 32 laps, but a hard charging Craig Dollansky heated
things up with 7 laps to go as he and Saldana exchanged the lead several times.
Haudenschild took the opportunity to close on the leaders and make a bold move
to pass them both with 2 laps to go. The crowd was on their feet as he took the
lead and went on to win the event.
"It was a good race," said Haudenschild. "In the dash we got a few spots to give
us a good starting position. The first few laps of the feature we had to fight
our way back. We fought our way back about three times after falling to 10th.
The guys had the car set up really well. We were able to get up through there."
Saldana, who got caught up behind lapped traffic allowing Haudenschild to get by
him was not pleased with the outcome of the race. "Lapped cars at the end would
not give anything to the leaders,” said Saldana, “and you just can't forget what
comes around goes around. I know that one day I will be getting lapped,
hopefully not soon, but you have to remember that stuff and give the leaders
some room. Obviously the lapped cars wanted to race us."
The make up race from last April’s rain out had 36 All Stars and Outlaws going
head to head on the ¼ mile bullring. The All Star Circuit of Champions were able
to place 9 of the 13 members on hand into the A-main, but attrition would rear
its ugly head and saw many of those 9 end the night with broken race cars caused
by the rough track.
Chad Blonde was running in the Top 5 when his throttle stuck open causing him to
spin on the backstretch and broke the motor in the process. Brock Mayes flipped
in turn two trying to avoid cars dodging around Blonde as he spun. Kelly Kinser,
Danny Smith, and Rob Chaney all left the race early with mechanical problems as
well.
All Stars Dale Blaney and Paul May had Top 10 finishes with Blaney finishing 7th
and Paul May finishing 9th. Kevin Huntly almost cracked the Top 10 as he crossed
the finish line in 11th place. Neil Shepherd also had a nice run finishing the
night 14th.
All Star season points leader Greg Wilson was not able to transfer to the A-main
as he finished 6th in the B-main. This allowed Brock Mayes and Chad Blonde to
gain a few points on the leader.
The All Stars move on to I-55 Raceway in Pevely, MO with the World of Outlaws
for another co-sanctioned event on Saturday July 8th. This will be the 8th
co-sanctioned event in the All Stars vs. The Outlaws Showdown Series.

the Friday April 21st rain out. The series heads back to the ¼ mile bull ring in
Southern Indiana with plenty of sun in the forecast this time around for the
“City of Lawrenceburg Sprint Nationals”. Lawrenceburg has been described as
"having 24 fighter jets in your living room" with the close wheel to wheel
racing. The tight quarter mile will make for some of the best action so far this
season as the two longest running 410 winged sprint car series do battle on this
short, high banked dirt track.
From there, the series travels West to Ken Schrader’s I-55 Raceway in Pevely, MO
with the World of Outlaws for another short track showdown. Greg Wilson
currently leads the All Star season points and will be trying to add to his
series points lead throughout the weekend. Brock Mayes and Chad Blonde are only
a few points apart in 2nd and 3rd place respectively. Blonde also leads the
Rookie of the Year points going into the weekend.

Another Successful Ohio Sprint Speedweek
as Blaney Wins 4th Title
CAMARGO, IL (7-5-06) – By Bryan Autullo – Another Ohio Sprint Speedweek has come
and gone. The tradition started by the All Stars in 1983 of inviting cars from
all across the land to join the series in 7 straight days of racing at 7 Ohio
tracks once again drew large car counts that topped anything seen in 410 racing
in recent memory. 89 drivers from 10 different states including Ohio, Michigan,
Indiana, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Wisconsin,
and Mississippi converged on the Buckeye State to take part in the original
sprint speedweek. Even two Australian drivers, Scott Reilly and Troy Little,
made the trip from Down Under to try their hand against the American
competition.
Speedweek consists of 7 events, but two more dates were scheduled at Lernerville
and K-C Raceway on the weekend leading into Speedweek. Friday’s event at
Lernerville was rained out, and Saturday at K-C Raceway we saw a new face in
victory lane. Tom Busch raced his way to his first ever All Star feature win.
A power outage caused by severe storms claimed the Monday date at Wayne County
Speedway, and afternoon showers with more storms on the way caused the Wednesday
event at Sharon Speedway to be postponed until September.
At the end of Speedweek, a total of 18 drivers made the tow to all 5 events
(Dale Blaney, Greg Wilson, Ricky Stenhouse Jr, Bobby Clark, Brock Mayes, Brandon
Martin, Kevin Huntley, Danny Smith, Rob Chaney, Paul May, Chad Blonde, Neil
Shepherd, Tim Hunter, Dean Jacobs, Barry Ruble, Scott Reilly, Ben Gregg, and
James Mosher). Six of those drivers made every A main event (Blaney, Wilson,
Stenhouse, Clark, Huntley, and Chaney). Four former Ohio Speed Week champions
competed in this year’s events (Blaney, Kelly Kinser, Jacobs, and Huntley).
With the number of cars in the pits each night, it was never an easy task to
qualify well and transfer to the A-main. Three nights had last chance
“non-qualifiers” races as the field was limited to just 52 cars. The highest car
count of the week was 60 at Limaland where the EFI-NRA 360 group was invited to
race with the All Stars with the highest finishing 360 driver receiving bonus
money. Fremont had 58 cars with only two 360’s in the field. The lowest car
count of the week was 29 at Eldora, but it was still a spectacular show with
Dale Blaney picking up the win and the Speedweek Championship.
Greg Wilson retained the All Star season points lead as he finished the week 2nd
in Speedweek points behind Blaney. The surprise of the week came from Olive
Branch, MS in the form of an 18 year old hot shoe named Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. who
had never seen any of these Ohio tracks and never raced with a 410 motor. With
the help of Andy Potter, Stenhouse picked up wins at Attica, Fremont, and
Limaland. By the end of the week, people were calling him “Harry” Potter for his
magical setups. Stenhouse finished the week third in Speedweek points. Another
surprise was Fremont, Ohio’s Bobby Clark who made consistent runs all week long
and was 4th in Speedweek points after charging from 21st to 7th at Eldora. Brock
Mayes also had a solid week’s worth of good finishes and rounded out the Top 5.
The 2006 Ohio Sprint Speedweek point fund paid dividends to the Top 15 in points
at the end of the week. The remaining drivers in 6th through 15th place were
Brandon Martin, Kevin Huntley, Danny Smith, Rob Chaney, Paul May, Chad Blonde,
Neil Shepherd, Tim Hunter, Butch Schroeder, and Dean Jacobs.
The All Stars thank all of our Speedweek sponsors for making the $10,000
Speedweek point fund possible. KS Sales & Service, Outerwears Pre-filters, Crown
Battery, Meguiar’s Car Care Products, and RacingFansDirect.com all support the
All Stars and area sprint car racing. Please show your patronage when in need of
any products or services that they provide.
The All Stars series would like to express our thanks to all teams and drivers
who participated in this year’s Ohio Sprint Speedweek. We would also like to
thank all the fans who came out and filled the stands all week long. We also
thank all the track promoters and crews for their hospitality and hard work in
making this week a success. We look forward to an even bigger and better Ohio
Sprint Speedweek in 2007. We hope everyone continues to support 410 sprint car
racing and the All Stars throughout the remainder of this season. We’ll see you
at the next race.

Blaney Rockets to 4th Ohio Speedweek Title
with Eldora Win
ROSSBURG, OH (7-1-06) – When asked last Sunday night at Attica if he had another
Speedweek Championship left in him, Dale Blaney responded by saying, “We’ll see
come Saturday night.” Going into the final Speedweek race at Eldora Speedway,
Blaney had a 2 point lead over Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. and a 12 point lead over
Greg Wilson. At the end of the night, Blaney did in fact add one more Speedweek
title to his resume.
“I have to give the credit to the guys on my crew and (owner) George Fisher,”
said Blaney from victory lane. “They gave me a really good car all week long
with a good motor. I’m just the guy who is lucky enough to be sitting in this
thing driving it.”
Australian visitor Troy Little set quick time in Huggins Cams qualifying at his
first ever visit to the speedway. He then turned in a fifth place finish behind
Blaney, Wilson, Ed Lynch Jr., and Butch Schroeder.
Wilson started on the front row along side Danny Smith but when the green flag
dropped it was Schroeder and Blaney who were on the move to the front. Blaney,
who started 5th, followed Schroeder and Lynch to the front as Schroeder took the
early lead from Wilson.
Blaney then hounded Wilson for 2nd as Lynch and Little battled side by side
behind them. Blaney seemed to get faster as the laps went on and he got by
Wilson and chased down Schroeder in lapped traffic as he dove under him and put
a patented Eldora slide job on the leader and began to pull away.
Wilson kept them in his sights and navigated traffic on the high side of the
track with the right rear scuffing the concrete through the turns giving him the
momentum he needed to catch Schroeder and Blaney who exchanged the lead several
times ahead of him.
At the halfway point, Dean Jacobs caught Troy Little and was going for the pass
on the high side when Mike Miller spun in turn two and collected Jacobs and
ended his night. Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who started 13th was now up to 6th place
on the restart.
Schroeder led Blaney to the green flag, but Blaney got past him and began to
pull away as Wilson caught Schroeder for 2nd with a slide job in turn one. He
kept to the high side and reeled in Blaney who was a straightaway ahead.
With 5 laps to go, Wilson was along side of Blaney challenging for the lead as
he worked the high side and the low side giving Blaney a run for the money. With
just one lap to go, Wilson was on his bumper coming off of turn 2 setting up
what would be one last challenge through turns 3 and 4 for the win. It would not
happen as the caution flew one last time for Ricky Stenhouse Jr.’s blown right
rear tire.
On the restart, Blaney looked like he was shot from a cannon with no traffic to
contend with and went on to win the race and his 4th Ohio Sprint Speedweek
title.
A disappointed Wilson said, “That last caution killed us. I think I would have
had him going into 3, but that’s the way racing goes. Dale Blaney is one of the
fastest and most consistent drivers in the country and he earned it.”
Tim Hunter won the B-main followed by Barry Ruble, Bobby Clark, and Neil
Shepherd. Clark the drove from 21st to 7th in the A-main, winning the Hard
Charger award for the evening.
Butch Schroeder won the All Star Haulmark Dash followed by Blaney, Wilson, Brock
Mayes, Danny Smith, and Ron Blair.
The All Stars would like to thank our Speedweek sponsors KS Sales & Service,
Crown Battery, Racing Fans Direct, and Outerwears Pre-Filters for being a part
of Ohio Sprint Speedweek and supporting sprint car racing and the All Stars.
The All Stars will be back in action Friday July 7th at Lawrenceburg Speedway
for the re-scheduled co-sanctioned show with the World of Outlaws. The event was
rained out earlier this season.

Stenhouse Jr. Thunders to 3rd Speedweek
Victory at Limaland
LIMA, OH (6-30-06) – With 59 sprint cars signed into the pits at the beautiful
Limaland facility in Western Ohio, Night #6 of Ohio Sprint Speedweek was
bustling with activity. The EFI-NRA 360 sprints showed up to challenge the All
Stars on “Ohio’s ¼ Mile Thunder” high banked bullring . The racing was intense
all night long and the large crowd was on the edge of their seats as the kid
from Mississippi sliced and diced his way to another Speedweek win.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. started on the outside of the front row by virtue of a great
qualifying run and transferring from his heat race directly to the A-main. Phil
Gressman was on the pole, but when the green flag dropped Stenhouse never looked
back.
Gressman stayed on his rear bumper as Byron Reed lurked in third. The battle for
fourth was intense with Greg Wilson rocketing around Rob Chaney and Dale Blaney
to set his sights on Reed. Reed battled Gressman for the second position as they
both kept Stenhouse in sight.
Gressman, Reed, and Wilson raced two and three wide for several laps until
Wilson finally took over the third spot. He would then hunt down Gressman as
Stenhouse began to enter lapped traffic.
Wilson went to the low side and moved into 2nd as Gressman ran up top and got
hung up behind a lapped car. Reed stayed on Gressman’s bumper while Blaney and
Chaney raced side by side just a few car lengths back.
Stenhouse, now with a comfortable lead, scrubbed the backstretch wall with 15
laps to go coming off of turn two, but it barely slowed his pace as he went on
to win the caution free 30 lap event. Wilson closed the gap with just a few laps
to go and made several attempts to get close enough to challenge for the win but
Stenhouse took the checkered flag followed by Wilson, Gressman, Blaney, and
Reed.
Neil Shepherd won the C-main event followed by Jamie Miller, Scott Reilly, and
Cory Seeling who all transferred to the B-main.
Veteran racer Danny Smith won the B-main ahead of Kevin Huntley, Brian
Ellenberger, and Luke Hall.
The All Star Haulmark Dash was won by Phil Gressman followed by Reed, Blaney,
Wilson, Stenhouse, and Chaney.
Next up for the All Stars is Saturday July 1st at Eldora where the 2006 Ohio
Speedweek Champion will be crowned. Dale Blaney leads Ricky Stenhouse Jr. by 2
points going into the final event.

Mississippi Teen Tames The Track That
Action Built
FREMONT, OH (6-29-06) - The history and tradition of Ohio Sprint Speedweek
is synonymous with Fremont Speedway’s long list of All Star feature winners over
the past few decades at “The track that action built”. Add to that list a kid
from Olive Branch, MS who was told that Attica and Fremont would be the two
toughest tracks to tame during the week of events. He wasn’t intimidated by the
two tracks he’d never seen before and went out and won at both as he also picked
up the Speedweek opener win last Sunday.
"I'm going to have to come back and race in Ohio more often,” said Stenhouse in
victory lane. “I have to thank Pete Grove and Premiere Pallets for helping to
get us to Speedweek and Jack Elam and J&J Chassis for giving us such a great
race car. We hired Andy Potter (from Fremont) to wrench on this car this week
and he just had this thing so good. I could drive it anywhere to get around
lapped traffic."
58 cars were on hand for Night #5 of Ohio Sprint Speedweek which was a record
nationally for 410 racing in the United States in 2006. This made it very
difficult to make the 24 car field for the main event.
All Star Rookie of the Year contender Brandon Martin jumped into the lead of the
40-lap feature from his pole starting spot, with outside front row starter Dale
Blaney, Stenhouse, Lee Jacobs, Phil Gressman and Paul McMahan in tow. Martin
hugged the bottom and continued to lead, but slipped up entering turn three on
lap 10 to allow Blaney to get under him.
Blaney would then lead with Stenhouse getting around Martin on lap 11 for
second. As the leaders hit lapped traffic, Stenhouse closed on Blaney and raced
beside him on several occasions. At the half-way mark, the running order was
Blaney, Stenhouse, Martin, Jacobs, McMahan, Phil Gressman and David Harrison.
It started getting wild by lap 27 as the leaders hit heavy lapped traffic racing
side by side in front of them. Stenhouse used a lapped car pick move to drive to
the inside of Blaney exiting turn four to take the lead as they completed lap
28.
Stenhouse then diced his way through lapped traffic until the checkered flag
fell to collect his second Ohio Sprint Speedweek win in just three events.
"I don't know what happened, but with about 15-20 laps to go, the car just got
tight," said Blaney next to his George Fisher owned #2. "I'm disappointed, but
we'll take second...Ricky's a great driver and we have to work hard to beat him
these last two races.”
"These guys (Burmeister Racing) worked hard to give me a good race car. We were
a little off at the beginning of the race, but it came around at the end," said
Jacobs. "Hats off to Ricky...he's going to be a good one."
Paul McMahan set quick time in Huggins Cams Qualifying at 12.493. Drawing an
early number for qualifying was good with so many cars in the pits. The track
began to slow down about midway through the qualifying session.
The C-main was won by All Star veteran Danny Smith who ran away with the victory
from his front row starting position.
The B-main was a wild one with Rob Chaney and David Harrison racing side by side
for several laps with Harrison eventually coming out on top followed by Chaney,
Tim Hunter, and Mark Keegan who snuck into a transfer spot on the final lap.
Dale Blaney won the All Star Haulmark Dash and Byron Reed won a special charity
dash for the Billy Stierwalt Memorial Fund. Reed and the other drivers donated
their dash winnings to the fund and helped to raise $3000.
Next up for the All Stars is Friday June 30th at Limaland and Saturday July 1st
at Eldora where the 2006 Ohio Speedweek Champion will be crowned.

OHIO SPEEDWEEK NIGHT #4 WASHED OUT
(HARTFORD, OH) - Tonight's Ohio Speedweek show at Sharon Speedway has
been cancelled due to heavy rains and hail that fell early in the
afternoon with the threat of more rain on the way throughout the
evening. As of 9:30pm more rain began to fall in the Hartford area with
20 - 30 mph wind gusts. The National Weather Service issued the
following warning: "Showers and thunderstorms will move from west to
east across the area early tonight. Winds will gust to 35 mph with some
of the storms along with brief heavy rain...small hail and frequent
lightning." The All Star Circuit of Champions felt that it was in the
best interest of the fans and drivers to pospone the event to a later date.
Ohio Sprint Speedweek action continues on Thursday night at "The Track
That Action Built" - Fremont Speedway in Fremont, Ohio. It will be all
winged sprint cars as Fremont's 305 sprints join the All Stars for Night
#5 of Speedweek.
Tall Cool One Shoots Down Apollo Rocket
ZANESVILLE, OH (6-27-06) Ohio Sprint Speedweek took a dip into Southeastern
Ohio on Night #3 to Muskingum County Speedway in Zanesville. 38 cars signed into
the pits to take part in the original Speedweek started in Ohio in 1983. After
an unfortunate cancellation of Night #2 at Wayne County Speedway due to a power
outage from severe storms, the drivers were itching to get back to the intense
action of Speedweek and the fans filled the stands to watch it all unfold.
Dale Blaney started off the evening by setting a new track record in Huggins
Cams Qualifying, shattering the old mark set by Joey Saldana in 1999. The George
Fisher owned #2 was fast right out of the gate. It was a sign of things to come.
Ed Lynch Jr. looked to be unbeatable for 38 laps, but The Tall Cool One chased
down the Apollo Rocket in lapped traffic like a heat seeking missile as the fans
were kept on the edge of their seats throughout the A-main. Blaney put on a show
for them as he came from his starting position outside of row 3 to take the
checkered flag in the 40 lap event.
The A-main action started off fast and furious between Rob Chaney and Ed Lynch
Jr. as Chaney jumped out to the early lead. Lynch chased him down on the bottom
side and the Apollo Rocket shot into the lead on lap 3. A caution for a spinning
Nick Naber slowed the action on lap 3.
On the ensuing restart, second place Chaney spun and collected the 5b of Chad
Blonde bringing out the second caution of the event. Blonde left on the hook
with just 3 laps in the books.
Ed Lynch Jr. led the charge on the restart with heavy action behind him between
Brian Paulus, Brock Mayes, Kevin Huntley, and Paul McMahan who spun on lap 10
and was not able to continue.
Lynch then showed Mayes the way to lap 20 through lapped traffic with Blaney and
Paulus battling for 3rd. Blaney, who started 6th, chased down Mayes and
challenged for 2nd as the Apollo Rocket pulled away from the pack.
Blaney chased down Lynch in lapped traffic while Mayes and Wilson battled for
3rd with 5 laps to go. Blaney caught Lynch as they traded the lead back and
forth. With two laps to go Blaney took the lead for good and pulled away from
Lynch to go on to his first victory of the season.
Rounding out the Top 5 were Lynch, Mayes, Wilson, and Paulus.
Huntley won the University of Northwest Ohio B-main, followed by Nick Naber,
Todd Kane, and Brandon Martin who all transferred to the A-main.
McMahan won the Haulmark Dash in the Tony Stewart owned Bass Pro Shops #20
machine. McMahan was followed by Blaney, Chaney, Mayes, Greg Wilson, and Ricky
Stenhouse Jr.
Next up for the All Stars is Wednesday June 28th at Sharon Speedway in Hartford,
OH and then on June 29th at Fremont, June 30th at Limaland, and July 1st at
Eldora.

"Little Ricky" Takes Ohio Speedweek Opener
at Attica
ATTICA, OH (6-25-06) The tradition of Ohio Sprint Speedweek continued at
Attica Raceway Park with a big car count, a large crowd, exciting
racing, and surprise visitors that always make things interesting for
the week of events. To add to the aura and excitement of Speedweek, this
night also included a dominating performance by a young hot shoe they
call “Little Ricky” who after last night's performance can call Attica
Raceway Park "Sten's House".
At just 18 years of age, Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. put on a masterful
performance to top the 47 car field that included many of the All Stars,
some National Sprint Tour drivers, and the always tough Ohio locals. The
native of Olive Branch, MS has the benefit of Andy Potter’s expert
knowledge turning wrenches for the week and he had the car set up to run
anywhere on the speedway.
"They told me the toughest tracks to win at this week would be Attica
and Fremont. We brought an Ohio boy (Andy Genzman) in to help us this
week...he knows how to get ya' around these tracks and he proved that
tonight," said Stenhouse. "I have to thank Pete Grove (from Ohio) and
Premier Pallets...he helped us come out here for this. I've been looking
forward to racing with this deal for a long time."
Stenhouse held off a late charge by Byron Reed in the Reebar Diecasting
#5r as Reed reeled him in through lapped traffic late in the race. A
caution on lap 34 left a wide open track in front of Stenhouse on the
restart as he motored to victory in front of the capacity crowd with
Reed in tow.
"I thought we could have made things interesting those last six laps if
the yellow hadn't come out," said Reed, beside his Reebar Diecasting
sprinter. “He had a good mechanic with him (Potter) who knows how to get
drivers around this track. I have to thank George Gillespie of
ProShocks...he helped us a lot gettin this thing figured out."
Greg Wilson charged to the front on the high side like a madman on a
mission. Spending most of his time searching for more forward bite with
his right rear off the backstretch and on the horse track as he usually
does at Attica, Wilson powered his way past a number of competitors and
came home 3^rd .
"We were just a tick off on set-up,” said Wilson. “But hey, it's pretty
neat for a kid from Mississippi to come in to Ohio and win. The good
Lord gave us great weather and we put on a heck of a race for the fans.
It was a good points night for us...in the big picture we had a good night."
“The Tall Cool One” Dale Blaney finished 4^th and pole sitter Butch
Schroeder rounded out the Top 5.
The heats were won by Tim Hunter, Todd Kane, Schroeder, and Wilson. The
track was fast and the action was furious all through the heat races and
many good teams were forced to run the B or C-mains.
Bryan Scott won the C-main event followed by Paul May, David Harrison,
and All Star Rookie of the Year points leader Chad Blonde who all
transferred to the B-main.
The University of Northwest Ohio B-main was won by the 2005 Ohio
Speedweek Champion Kelly Kinser. The other transfer spots went to Brian
Smith, Kevin Huntley, and Danny Smith. The rest loaded up for the night
and will get ready for Tuesday night’s action.
The Haulmark Dash was action packed with a 6 car battle for points
toward a year-end Haulmark Dash Point Fund. Bobby Clark led the charge
to the checkered followed by Reed, Wilson, Blaney, Schroeder, and Paul
McMahan.
Next up for the All Stars is Tuesday June 27^th at Muskingum County
Speedway in Zanesville, OH and then on June 28^th at Sharon, June 29^th
at Fremont, June 30^th at Limaland, and July 1^st at Eldora. The June
26^th event at Wayne County Speedway has been cancelled due to a power
outage in the area from storms that hit last week.

Busch Nabs First All Star Victory
CHILLICOTHE, OH (6-24-06) – by Bryan Autullo – Bedford, Indiana’s Tom Busch
thought he would have trouble making the A-main at K-C raceway with such a tough
crowd of competitors on hand on the event dubbed “The Night The Stars Come Out”.
However, the driver of the 4B found himself standing on the front stretch at the
end of the night as he won his first All Star A-main of his career.
Busch was able to knock off a good qualifying time which set the stage for the
rest of his evening. Making the transfer from his heat to the A-main put him on
the outside of row #1 as several of the top qualifiers were forced to run the
B-main. It was just Busch’s night to shine.
“All those late cautions had me nervous”, said Busch from victory lane. “My
right rear tire started shaking.” Busch was still able to pull away on the
restarts. “The car was working real good. We never really changed anything all
night.”
Greg Wilson, who gave Busch fits throughout the race, lost a right rear tire
while running in second place with just 4 laps to go in the 40 lap affair. He
got a nose wing under Busch several times but was not able to hold on to make
the pass.
Dale Blaney, who was running third at the time Wilson’s tire went down,
inherited 2nd place on lap 36 with Wilson’s departure to the work area for
repairs. “My tire was shaking from about mid-race on and thought I had the same
tire on as Greg did and I saw his go,” said Blaney. I saw Busch’s tire had a lot
of tread on it on those cautions and figured I wasn’t going to push it and we’d
take what we could get.”
Defending Ohio Speedweek Champion Kelly Kinser, who was running in 4th place
throughout the race, also benefited from Wilson’s misfortune. “The track was a
little bit tacky around the bottom after the late models went out first and we
went with too hard of a tire, but we’ll take 3rd.”
Butch Schroeder and Paul May rounded out the Top 5 as 36 cars signed into the
pits this evening to do battle for the $5000 prize money put up by the All Star
series.
Outsiders who were on hand to take on the locals and the All Stars included NST
drivers Jason Meyers, Paul McMahan, and Brian Paulus. Brandon Wimmer who started
out with the NST in the 7tw car was in the Rick Ferkel owned #0. Ricky Stenhouse,
Jr. made the journey north from Mississippi to join the series on tour this
week. Ben Gregg made his way all the way from Arizona to take participate in his
first Ohio Speedweek.
Huggins Cams 2nd place qualifier Brock Mayes was unable to transfer from his
heat, but made it into the A-main the hard way – by winning the University of
Northwest Ohio B-main.
Butch Schroeder was victorious in the Haulmark Dash over Blaney, Wilson, Danny
Smith, Kelly Kinser, and Tim Hunter.
Next up for the All Stars is the kick off of the 24th Annual Ohio sprint
Speedweek at Attica Raceway Park in Attica, OH on Sunday June 25th. For more

All Stars Welcome Visitors from Down Under
for Ohio Speedweek
CAMARGO, IL (6-20-06) – The American Tradition – Ohio Sprint Speedweek – has
appeal far and wide in the world of 410 Sprint Car Racing. The intrigue of the
week long festivities attracts visitors each year from various parts of the
globe to come to Ohio to experience the intensity of 7 consecutive nights of
racing at 7 different tracks around the State.
This year the All Stars welcome Australian visitors from both the racing world
and the media. These Ambassadors from our sister nation in 410 sprint car racing
will be on hand throughout the week.
Western Australian young gun Rob Adley and his father Steve will be present at
all seven races as part of the Dean Jacobs crew. Adley said that Dean Jacobs
invited him to come over for the Speedweek series when he was racing ‘Down
Under’ recently. "We will travel around with his team as part of the crew and
hopefully I might be able to organize a (ride) over there too,” said Adley. "It
will be an awesome experience for us.
WA sprint car Rookie of the Year Scott Reilly will be in Ohio racing throughout
the week. Reilly was impressive in his Australian debut this past season but is
looking to get more seat time. His only goal is to gain experience – he is not
concerned about where he finishes, although naturally he would like to be able
to qualify for an A-main or two.
Sydney sprint car superstar Troy Little will embark on his second American
sprint car racing campaign. “I’m really looking forward to getting back over
there and hitting the big tracks against the best the US has to offer,” stated
Troy prior to his departure. “We’ll be starting off with the last four nights of
the All-Stars Ohio Speedweek and then hit some Outlaw shows before Bill (Roberts
– Crew chief) goes home. I’ll stay on and hopefully we’ll get about 25 races all
told before we bring the car home for the Aussie season.”
Troy, through Roberts’ close ties with the World of Outlaws team of Chad Kemenah,
has purchased a complete car from the 15K team. “I’ll be flat out from the
moment I get there because I’ve got to go to Knoxville to pick up my tow rig
that Bill McCroskey is arranging for me and my trailer that Jaymie Moyle has
been looking after,” Troy explained. “Then it’s off up the road to Kemenah’s
workshop and Eagle chassis and all points in between before I base myself at the
workshop of Doug Kekich’s Intense Fabrications and Design and start putting the
car together.”
On the media side of things, Brett Swanson - the assistant editor for a new
Australian Motorsport Magazine “Racer Australia” - will be traveling across Ohio
following the progress of his Australian counterparts photographing and writing
content for his magazine.
It is not uncommon to see such a strong showing of racers from Down Under this
time of year and as always we welcome them all to the USA and extend our All
Star hospitality at each event and wish them the best of luck while they are
here.
Next up for the All Star Circuit of Champions will visit Lernerville Speedway
and K-C Raceway leading into Ohio Sprint Speedweek. Visit the All Star web site
at www.allstarsprint.com for more
information on the series as well as the most up to date schedule information.

the next seven nights of racing that will bring a $10,000 points fund to the Top
15 drivers at the end of the week. This point fund was put in place to reward
the non-regular All Star member teams who choose to come and join in the week
long festivities to help offset some of the fuel and operational costs
associated with running seven nights in a row.
Points will be awarded throughout the week to the drivers who choose to
participate. There is no entry fee. Drivers are not required to have an All Star
membership to receive Speedweek points. The point fund payout is as follows:

Schatz Sweeps Homecoming Weekend at Red
River Valley
WEST FARGO, ND (6-17-06) Donny Schatz made it two in a row at Red River Valley
Speedway in West Fargo, ND on his homecoming weekend. Schatz was locked into the
event by winning Friday’s preliminary feature. The top 4 were locked in from the
previous night which also included Tyler Walker, Joey Saldana, and Craig
Dollansky.
36 cars were on hand to take part in the “Duel in the Dakotas” weekend brought
to you by SLS Promotions. All Star contenders included Greg Wilson, Danny Smith,
Brock Mayes, Paul May, Brandon Martin, Chad Blonde, and James Mosher. The World
of Outlaws Mean 15 were all on hand for this co-sanctioned event as well as
several drivers from the Northern Outlaw Sprint Association to make for another
great show for the fans.
Schatz jumped out to the lead on the start and never looked back, leading all 30
laps of the $12,000 to win event. Schatz maneuvered his way through lapped
traffic masterfully as he distanced himself from the challengers and kept the
hometown crowd on their feet.
“To get in victory lane here at home, there is nothing more exciting,” said
Schatz. “We fell a little short last year and tried to make up what we could
this year. We raced today with heavy hearts. The loss of Fred Brownfield was a
shock to the racing world. Life has to go on for us, and we send out sympathies
to his family.”
The A-main started with the usual 4-abreast salute to the fans as they fell into
the “missing man” formation in honor of Mr. Brownfield. There was also a moment
of silence after qualifying in honor of the respected track promoter and NST
President.
Walker and Saldana battled wildly for the runner up spot, trading the position
several times throughout the race. Walker eventually held down the position with
Saldana finishing third.
Further back it was All Star points leader Greg Wilson finishing 15th for the
second night in a row. Greg had a great qualifying run in 6th place and then
finished 9th in the Dash putting him inside of row 5 to start the main event.
The 18th through 21st spots were all held by All Star contenders. Danny Smith,
Brock Mayes, Chad Blonde, and James Mosher battled each other for season points
trying to better position themselves for the upcoming Ohio Speedweek run.
Paul May, who spun in his heat and missed the transfer by one spot, was forced
to run the B-main where he again missed the transfer by one spot ending his
night. Brandon Martin, who suffered mechanical problems in Friday’s A-main was
not able to transfer from the B as he finished 8th.
Next up for the All Stars is Friday June 23rd at Lernerville Speedway in Sarver,
PA and then on to K-C Raceway in Chillicothe, OH on Saturday June 24th. From
there the series dives right into Ohio Sprint Speedweek on June 25th at Attica,
June 26th at Wayne County, June 27th at Muskingum County, June 28th at Sharon,
June 29th at Fremont, June 30th at Limaland, and July 1st at Eldora.

Schatz Delivers for Hometown Crowd in
Fargo
Donny Schatz’s homecoming was a popular one as he gave the fans their money’s
worth as they cheered on the local star who leads the World of Outlaws series
points. Schatz has been gaining momentum over the last several races and has not
finished outside the Top 7 for weeks.
35 cars were on hand to do battle in Fargo at the Red River Valley Speedway on
Night #1 of the Duel in the Dakotas event. Schatz qualified 6th, transferred
from his heat and then was able to win the dash, putting him on the pole for the
25 lap preliminary event.
Joey Saldana jumped out to the early lead, but Schatz ran him down and took the
lead on lap 20. He managed to hold off a hard charging Tyler Walker, Saldana,
and Craig Dollansky to land in victory lane.
“Nothing is better than getting to victory lane at home,” Schatz said. “We want
to thank everyone for coming out. Joey and I ran laps side by side in the dash
and it’s not very often you have that anymore. It was a good fun night for us,
and I hope the people enjoyed it. There’s going to be even more tomorrow.”
Tyler Walker, who spent the last few seasons in the NASCAR ranks, had an
impressive run from 6th to 2nd. “It’s good to be back in a position fighting for
wins,” Walker said. “I have to thank Guy Forbrook for believing in me. It’s good
to be back in a race car that is capable of winning every night. It’s a lot of
fun for me and everybody onboard. It’s a pleasure to drive, and I’m having a lot
of fun. It’s good to be back in a sprint car.”
All Star points leader Greg Wilson finished the night in 15th place with a solid
run that will keep him on top of the All Stars season points. Paul May had a
good run against the Outlaws on the big ½ mile speedway as well and finished
18th. Danny Smith, Brock Mayes, and Brandon Martin all had problems in the race
that put them at 21st, 23rd, and 24th respectively. Chad Blonde spun in the
B-main and was unable to transfer. James Mosher scratched from the B-main with
mechanical problems.
The points battle is heating up further down the list as only 13 points now
separate 2nd place Chad Blonde and 3rd place Brock Mayes. Chad is only about 100
points behind leader Wilson. Paul May sits in 4th place just 15 points behind
Mayes.
Tonight the All Stars will take on the Outlaws in Night #2 of the Duel in the
Dakotas for $12,000 to win. Tune in to www.dirtvision.com to listen to tonight’s

Haudenschild Electrifies Crowd at Powercom
BEAVER DAM, WI (6-14-06) – by Bryan Autullo –The All Star Circuit of
Champions hit the road once again this season to join the Outlaws for another
co-sanctioned event at Powercom Park in Beaver Dam, WI. This was the first leg
of a short tour out West that will see 3 races over 4 nights. Both groups will
continue West to Fargo, ND from here.
Tonight the All Stars and Outlaws were hosted by SLS Promotions and the Bumper
to Bumper IRA sprint series. 36 cars signed in for tonight’s racing action and
put on another fantastic show for the fans. Craig Dollansky set quick time with
a lap of 11.676.
Jac “The Wild Child” Haudenschild electrified the crowd at Powercom Park as he
took the lead with 12 laps to go in the 40 lap affair and held on for the win
over Donny Schatz and Craig Dollansky.
All Star series point leader Greg Wilson, who started the night in the hole by
qualifying 24th, made the best of a bad situation in the A-main. The w20 was
lined up on the inside of the last row of the 24 car field and Greg managed to
flat foot it around the speedway and drove all the way up to a 7th place finish
at the end of the 40 lapper.
Chad Blonde, who started 9th in the main event, looked to be on his way to a
good run when disaster struck as he put the Blonde Motorsports #5b over the
retaining wall ending his night on lap 15. Chad was not injured but the car had
far too much damage to continue.
Danny Smith was having a great night running 7th when he suffered front end
damage on lap 32 that took him out of the race. Brock Mayes was caught up in an
early incident with Jason Martin that ended his night just a few laps into the
feature event. Paul May motored from his 21st starting position up to an 11th
place finish and Brandon Martin came home 14th after starting 17th. James Mosher
had problems early and was unable to transfer to the A-main.
Heat races were won by Brooke Tattnell, Todd Hepfner, Paul May, and Chad Kemenah.
The Dash was won by Outlaws point leader Donny Schatz which put him on the pole
for tonight’s main event.
Sammy Swindell won the B-main piloting Terry McCarl’s #24 car as McCarl is still
recovering from a broken leg.
From here the All Star series will follow the Outlaws to Red River Valley
Speedway in Fargo, ND on June 16th and 17th. For more information on the All
Star Circuit of Champions, visit

Ohio Sprint Speedweek - An American
Tradition
CAMARGO, IL (6-8-06) – If you are an All Star Circuit of Champions fan of
sprint car racing in general, you know there is one week every summer that is
like no other. Ohio Sprint Speedweek is seven nights of racing at seven Ohio
tracks with over $197,000 up for grabs in prize money. The history runs deep for
the original Sprint Speedweek which was established in 1983 creating an American
tradition in sprint car racing for decades to come.
The Ohio Speedweek Champions list reads like a who’s who of 410 sprint car
racing over the past two decades. Bobby Davis, Jr., Steve Kinser, Jack Hewitt,
Sammy Swindell, Kenny Jacobs, Dave and Dale Blaney, and Frankie Kerr are just
some of the names that adorn the list. Others who have towed in from all parts
unknown over the years to run for this prestigious title has increased the who’s
who list ten-fold.
2006 should be no different when assessing the level of talented drivers who
will make their way around Ohio. This is the crown jewel of the All Star
schedule. Drivers from the National Sprint Tour and the World of Outlaws will
join the All Stars throughout the week when their respective schedules permit.
Add to that all the great local drivers from around Ohio and other Midwestern
States, and also Australia, who will be in Ohio for the week and you have a
recipe for more fantastic racing to add to the history books.
We will preview each night of racing over the next two weeks with additional
information on each track so that you can begin planning to attend these events.
This will be a week that any race fan will not want to miss. With the All Stars
paying a $10,000 Speedweek Point Fund on top of the nightly purse, it will be
added incentive for the best drivers to make the trip.
The week long point fund payout is as follows:
1st = $2,000
2nd = $1,150
3rd = $900
4th = $750
5th = $700
6th = $650
7th = $600
8th = $550
9th = $500
10th = $450
11th = $400
12th = $375

Saldana Captures Co-Sanction Cash at Terre
Haute
TERRE HAUTE, IN (6-4-06) – by Bryan Autullo – The All Stars had a “long way
to go and a short time to get there” as the song goes from the 1977 Smokey and
the Bandit movie soundtrack, but everyone made it from Lincoln Speedway in
Abbottstown, PA to Terre Haute, IN just in time for the co-sanctioned event with
the world of Outlaws.
Paul May, who lives in Terre Haute, was most likely the last to arrive as they
hit a coyote somewhere in Western PA, tearing a fuel line off the team
transporter and putting them several hours behind schedule to make repairs. They
made it to the track on time, but the coyote wasn’t so lucky.
The All Stars, having raced in Central PA on Saturday night, made the 680 mile
overnight trip back West to Indiana and fatigue was setting in by race time.
They still managed to take on the World of Outlaws on the semi-banked ½ mile and
put on a great show for the fans despite not being able to do proper maintenance
on their cars after the long journey between the two facilities left them with
little time to work or sleep.
37 cars signed in for tonight’s event at the Action Track. The Outlaws dominated
the Top 10 spots with Joey Saldana taking the checkered flag ahead of Craig
Dollansky who made a late race charge to the front. On the initial start it was
front row starter Dean Jacobs who took the lead on lap one, only to relinquish
it to Saldana on lap two. Jacobs is subbing for injured driver Terry McCarl in
the #24 World of Outlaws ride.
After a caution for Jamie Martin on lap 2, the restart saw Saldana jump to the
lead with Jacobs in tow. Dollansky and Tattnell battled side by side for 4th as
Chad Kemenah and Jac Haudenschild raced side by side behind them.
Once Saldana hit lapped traffic on lap 10, Jacobs got under him in turn 2 and
lead down the backstretch, only to give up the lead once again on lap 11.
Saldana then cleared lapped traffic and began to pull away.
At the halfway point, Saldana lead over Jacobs, Danny Lasoski, and Dollansky as
Tim Schaffer had moved up from his 23rd starting spot to 11th place.
On lap 21, Tattnell lost a motor, bringing out a red flag for oil on the track.
The running order was Saldana, Jacobs, Lasoski, Dollansky, Kemenah, Haudenschild,
Tyler Walker, Jason Solwold, Paul McMahan, and Chad Blonde rounding out the Top
10.
On the restart, Dollansky jumped to 3rd behind Saldana and Lasoski. Jacobs fell
to 4th and Schaffer was now up to 5th. Kemenah was 6th and Donny Schatz had
moved from 21st to 7th with just 4 laps to go.
On lap 27, Paul McMahan spun in front of the leaders on the front stretch with
two flat tires on the right side of his car bringing out the final caution and
setting up a 3 lap dash to the finish.
Dollansky got around Lasoski on the restart, but couldn’t catch Saldana who went
on to win the event after 30 exciting laps of racing.
Heats were won by Schatz, Tattnell, Jacobs, and Swindell.
The Dash was won by Dean Jacobs.
The B-main was won by Jason Solwold.
The All Stars will be back in action with the World of Outlaws on June 14th at
Powercom Park in Beaver Dam, WI. From there the series will follow the Outlaws
to Red River Valley Speedway in Fargo, ND on June 16th and 17th. For more

Hodnett Handles All Star Invaders at
Lincoln
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA (6-3-06) – by Bryan Autullo – The All Star Circuit of
Champions invaded Posse territory again this weekend to take on the ever so
tough Central PA drivers at Williams Grove and Lincoln. Mother Nature had other
plans on Friday night as the event at Williams Grove was rained out and
rescheduled for later this season.
Saturday’s weather was much more cooperative, and the All Stars pulled into
Lincoln Speedway with their game faces on, ready to get some racing in with so
many events rained out around the mid-west over the past month.
In the end it was Posse veteran Greg Hodnett who dominated the race, holding off
Doug Esh in heavy lapped traffic to win his second race of the year. Thirty-five
410 sprint cars signed into the pits to run for the increased purse brought by
the traveling series and once again the Posse pocketed the All Star’s $5000 to
win paycheck.
Hodnett, who started on the front row, ran away from the field with a
comfortable lead before hitting lapped traffic 8 laps into the event. Doug Esh
began to close on the leader in traffic as Dewease moved into the 3rd spot on
lap 17.
Brian Monteith brushed the wall in turn 3 bringing out the 2nd caution of the
event. On the restart, Esh had 4 lapped cars between him and the leader. He
navigated around the lapped cars as Hodnett built another comfortable lead, but
as he got into lapped traffic again Esh put the pressure on. Hodnett crossed the
line on lap 30 just a car length ahead of Esh for the win.
"We got pretty lucky with our starting spot and took advantage of it," said
Hodnett. "I tried not to stop and go...I just wanted to keep up my momentum and
that’s how I caught and passed a lot of those guys. It got to where I kind of
needed to be on the bottom, but we weren’t good on the bottom, so I kind of kept
moving and moving and struggled a lot there over the last five laps...but I hung
on for the win."
Rounding out the Top 10 was Dewease Nikki Young, Eric Stambaugh, All Star points
leader Greg Wilson, Jeff Shepard, Todd Shaffer, Montieth, and Michael Carber.
Other All Stars making the A-main event were Brock Mayes (11th), Chad Blonde
(12th), Brandon Martin (14th), and Paul May (20th).
"Those guys did a great job," said Hodnett about the All Stars. "They have to
bust ass and get over to Terre Haute, IN, for tomorrow night’s show...we
appreciate them guys coming out and always enjoy having them, but we always
enjoy beating them too!"
The All Stars are the only national traveling series to visit Lincoln Speedway
over the years and the fan support and driver turnout is always top notch, as is
the level of competition. The All Stars enjoy coming to Lincoln Speedway and
racing with some of the best drivers in the country in Central Pennsylvania and
look forward to coming back again in 2007.
Todd Shaffer won the Outerwears Pre-filters Heat #1. Fred Rahmer won the B&B
Oval Track Products Heat #2. Josh Wells won the Engler Machine & Tool Heat #3.
Scott Geesey won the TP Wings Heat #4.
Jeff Shepard won the All Star Haulmark Dash while Jimmy Siegel won the
University of Northwest Ohio B-Main.
Huggins Cams Fast Time in qualifying was set by Lance Dewease with a one-lap
time of 13.904 seconds (97.094 MPH).

All Stars Swing Into Summer Battling
Outlaws and Posse
CAMARGO, IL (5-28-06) – The All Star Circuit of Champions will enter the month
of June with a bang. The series will visit Wayne County Speedway on Thursday
June 1st for another co-sanctioned shootout with the World of Outlaws. Wayne
County – formerly known as Buckeye Speedway – has not seen the Outlaws for 21
years and the All Stars hope to have a slight advantage over the traveling group
at the Ohio track that the series visits each summer during Ohio Speedweek.
“I think there is a lot of tradition there from years past and with Jac
Haudenschild and the Jacobs boys all in that area we think there is a draw
there,” stated Steve Sinclair of SLS Promotions who is bringing the World of
Outlaws and All Stars to Wayne County Speedway. “Bringing the All Stars and
Outlaws together, that hasn’t been done there so hopefully it is something that
can be built on for years to come.”
Steve Sinclair has been instrumental in the idea to put these two groups
together on the same tracks on the same nights. “We’re trying to give the fans
added value by bringing the All Stars with the Outlaws and it’s been a good
working relationship so far between the two series. We’re looking at this race
and track as a ‘battleground’ of sorts, that is why we chose a mid-week date so
we can hopefully attract some of the Pennsylvania guys and the guys who run
weekly at the other tracks in Ohio.”
From there, the All Stars head back into hostile territory in Central PA to take
on the Posse at the fast ½ mile Williams Grove Speedway on Friday and then they
will move down the road to Lincoln Speedway on Saturday. Lance Dewease and Greg
Hodnett both came away with victories the last time the All Stars visited these
two facilities.
All Stars Greg Wilson, Chad Blonde, Brock Mayes, Danny Smith, Paul May, Dale
Blaney, Brandon Martin, James Mosher, Barry Ruble, and Neil Shepherd will be
taking on the PA Posse regulars who have traditionally been tough on any
traveling series who invades their turf. The All Stars will get another
opportunity to try to steal a victory in Central PA.
Abbottstown, PA is 648 miles from Terre Haute, IN, but the All Stars will make
the overnight tow on the final night of the weekend, book ending the 4-day run
with another co-sanctioned shootout versus the World of Outlaws on Sunday at the
Terre Haute Action Track. SLS Promotions will bring the two series together
again for the 2nd time in just 4 days at the Indiana speed plant.

Dewease Dominates Bob Weikert Memorial at
Port Royal
PORT ROYAL, PA (5-20-06) – by Bryan Autullo – The All Star Circuit of Champions
made their way East to Port Royal Speedway’s semi-banked ½ mile oval in Port
Royal, PA. Veteran PA Posse driver Lance Dewease dominated the race by leading
all 30 laps at the track where he has won countless other A-main events over the
years. He showed tonight that his experience at this Central PA dirt plant was
like money in the bank as he took home the $5000 prize money. Mike Erdley was
2nd, Danny Smith came home 3rd, Keith Kauffman took 4th, and Greg Hodnett
rounded out the Top 5.
Dewease took the initial green flag and rocketed into the lead followed by Rick
Lafferty who was in a fierce battle for 2nd with Brook Weibly. Danny Smith and
Mike Erdley chased down the leaders as they battled for 4th place lap after lap.
By lap 10, Dewease was entering heavy traffic which allowed Lafferty to close
the gap. Weibly, Smith, and Erdley duked it out behind the leaders. Lafferty
started putting pressure on Dewease by mid race, but was involved in an
unfortunate accident on the front stretch on lap 21 that put him on his night
his lid and ended his night.
On the restart it was Dewease followed by Erdley, D. Smith, Greg Hodnett, Keith
Kauffman, Weibly, Mark Smith, Jeff Shepard, Todd Shaffer, and TJ Stutts. All
Star points leader Greg Wilson was just outside of the Top 10 on the restart.
When the green flag dropped, Dewease drove away from the rest of the field to
victory followed by Erdley, D. Smith, Kauffman (who passed Hodnett at the finish
line), Hodnett, Weibly, M. Smith, Shepard, Shaffer, and Stutts.
Mark Smith won the B-main after crashing on lap1 of his heat race. They were
able to get the car back together and then take the B-main checkered to transfer
to the A-main. Also transferring out of the B-main behind Smith was Greg Wilson,
Dan Shetler, and Daryl Stimeling.
Paul May won the All Star Haulmark Dash. May ran side by side with Brandon
Martin early in the 6 lap affair and was able to pull ahead of him to claim the
victory. Martin was 2nd followed by Dewease, Hodnett, and Danny Smith.

All Stars Head East to Port Royal for Bob Weikert Memorial
CAMARGO, IL (5-15-06) – The All Star Circuit
of Champions series is packing up and heading East into Posse country to take on
the PA elite at Port Royal Speedway on May 20th. The Posse is historically tough
to beat in their own back yard and they will be there to try to steal the All
Star loot. Greg Wilson leads the All Stars into hostile territory as the current
points leader of the series, with Brock Mayes and Chad Blonde nipping at his
heels. Paul May and Butch Schroeder round out the Top 5. The PA drivers will not
make it easy on the travelers, but the All Star drivers are up to the challenge
and it will be another great showdown between the PA Posse and the invading All
Star series.
The 30-lap event will be the 4th Annual Bob Weikert Memorial and pays $5,000 to
win. Fred Rahmer won the race in 2003 and 2004 with Todd Shaffer being the
defending champ of the Memorial race run each year in honor of the late
legendary PA sprint car owner.
It has also been reported that four-time All Star Champion Kenny “The Mouse”
Jacobs will be piloting the #55 car for injured driver Mike Wagner this weekend.
The All Stars wish the best for Mike and a speedy recovery from neck injuries
sustained on May 6th at Port Royal.

“Ohio’s Fastest 3/8 Mile” to Host the Ohio
Challenge II
CAMARGO, IL (5-7-06) – The All Star Circuit of Champions are preparing for
another shootout with the World of Outlaws on Saturday May 13th at the fast,
high banked 3/8 mile K-C Raceway. The showdown has been dubbed “The Ohio
Challenge II” by promoter Jim Neir.
The original “Ohio Challenge” was rained out last season and was not
re-scheduled. However, the interest generated by the fans and the demand to
bring these two series together prompted K-C Raceway to make it happen in 2006.
The concept of this showdown between the two longest running winged 410 sprint
car groups is what set the stage for the Showdown Series between the two groups
in 2006 with several co-sanctioned events across the Midwest.
K-C Raceway has been a regular stop for both traveling groups, but never have
they been there on the same night. The All Stars have recently added some big
guns to the traveling tour and the Outlaws will bring their band of thieves who
will try to steal the loot. The “tin stars” of “America’s Series” will try to
keep that money safe in Ohio.

All Star Points Chase Heating Up as Summer Approaches
CAMARGO, IL (5-7-06) – by Bryan Autullo – The
points chase is beginning to heat up among the All Star Circuit of Champions as
we approach the busy summer months. June and July are packed full of All Star
points races and things could begin to change very rapidly. Greg Wilson has
maintained his lead throughout the young season, but Brock Mayes and Chad Blonde
are closing in fast.
Wilson, who picked up a win at Attica Raceway on his night off last Friday, came
into Fremont with a mission – to win the race and keep his points lead. An
unfortunate incident with lapped traffic while he was leading the A-main sent
him to restart from the tail and Mayes and Blonde picked up a few points on the
leader.
Dean Jacobs won the race, but back through the pack the points battles were
heating up. Only 12 points now separates 2nd place Mayes and 3rd place Blonde.
Mayes is only 23 points outside of Wilson’s 1st place total. Paul May held onto
4th place this week as Butch Schroeder picked up one spot moving ahead of Ruble
for 5th place. Dale Blaney also moved up a spot to 8th , Tim Hunter moved into
the 10th position and Danny Smith moved up to 11th place this week.
Chad Blonde, who picked up the feature win at Butler Speedway on his night off
on Friday, still leads the Rookie of the Year points as Brandon Martin and James
Mosher try to close the gap. Brandon is in 2nd place by one point over Mosher.
The All Star series will be heading to KC Raceway on Saturday May 13th for the
next shootout in the Showdown Series between the All Stars and the World of
Outlaws.
Visit the official home of America’s Series at
www.allstarsprint.com for more
information regarding the All Star Circuit of Champions. All Star merchandise
will be available online soon.

Dean Jacobs Finds Victory on American Soil with
"America's Series"
FREMONT, OH (5-6-06) – by Bryan Autullo – Fresh off his Western Australia AHG
Sprintcar Series championship in Australia, Dean managed to find success back on American
soil at Fremont Speedway in only his second night out this season with the Ray Pullins #29
team. Dean stole the lead from early race leader – and current All Star points leader
– Greg Wilson on lap 14.
Wilson had jumped out to an early lead from his pole position starting spot and pulled
away from the rest of the field. There was a caution for debris on lap 6, but on the
restart Wilson pulled away as Kelly Kinser and Caleb Griffith battled for 2nd place.
Wilson worked the high side of the track at a blistering pace. He looked to be well on his
way to his second feature win of the weekend. He took home the prize money from Attica
Raceway Park on Friday night in non-sanctioned local action from his 15th starting
position. Several other All Star teams were also in attendance.
By lap 11, Jacobs had worked his way up to 2nd and Chad Blonde (who won at Butler Speedway
on Friday night) was up to 4th as Wilson had Verl Warnimont’s #w20 rocketing through
the turns. Unfortunately for Greg, a lapped car spun in front of him causing him to go off
the high side of turn 3 and into the foam barriers. There was little damage to the car
thanks to Fremont’s “soft walls”, but Wilson would have to restart on the
tail.
On the restart it was Jacobs, Kinser, Blonde, Brock Mayes, Danny Smith, Caleb Griffith,
Kevin Huntley up from 14th, Byron Reed and Butch Schroeder up from 17th.
Jacobs now pulled away from the field with an open track in front of him. With 12 laps to
go the leader was into traffic and Kinser began to close the gap. Jacobs, who is famous
for hanging it out on the top edge of the speedway must have seen the white #4k behind him
and decided to protect the bottom – the preferred line by Kinser over the years.
Jacobs had his left front bouncing over the low side berm for the remainder of the race
giving Kinser no room to poke a nose under him.
When Jacobs took the white flag, Kinser was on his rear bumper, but Jacobs went on to the
win. He was followed by Kinser, Mayes, Blonde, Reed, Smith, Dale Blaney, Huntley,
Griffith, and Rob Chaney who was in Stan Courtad’s #9x.
"I know I've been critical of this place in the past, but as I get older I appreciate
the history of Fremont and how difficult it is to win here," said Jacobs beside his
Waverly Quik Lube sponsored #29 on his first ever victory at "The Track That Action
Built." "To come back from Australia and win in only our second night out with
this team this season is awesome."
"I have to dedicate this to my dad...we lost him this winter and it's hard to come to
the track knowing he's not here. We also had a buddy lose a son in a car wreck last week.
We have both their names on the car," added Jacobs.
Kelly Kinser said, "I tried to rattle Dean's cage a couple of times by showing him my
nose, but he did what a good racer is supposed to do...stay your line. We gave this Crone
Lumber car a good run and we'll take second."
Third place finisher Brock Mayes stated, "This is where a lot of us started...so to
come here and be on the front stretch at the end of the night is very special. We have a
lot of confidence right now." Mayes began his career in the 305 sprints at Fremont
Speedway.
In Haulmark Dash action, Wilson ran hard into the first turn from his front row starting
position and took it a bit too high slipping off the top and dropping to the tail. Danny
Smith took advantage and ran away with it to the checkered followed by Blonde, Blaney,
Mayes, and Mark Keegan.. The cheers could be heard from all around as the huge Fremont
crowd showed their support for the veteran Smith.
When asked if he was happy to have some success after all he has been through recently, he
stated, “I’m just happy to win the Trophy Dash. I’m grateful for support
and generosity of all the fans. Jan wanted the money to be donated to a family whose kid
has Leukemia whose house recently burned down. We took them a check the other day for
$5200.”
The 15 lap B-main had plenty of action as James Mosher looped it out on lap 1, but managed
to keep going as he lost several positions. Then Bobby Clark spun bringing out the first
caution. On the restart, Kyle Cummins had a flat right rear bringing out the 2nd caution.
By lap 5, Mosher had worked his way back up to 8th, but a spinning John Ivy left Mosher no
place to go and he clipped Ivy with the right front. Mosher was on his way back to the
front, but the damage was too great to continue. Mike Linder had the fastest car on the
speedway coming from 14th to 5th by lap 6. Ryan Coniam caught the low side berm on lap 6
and flipped up the track ending his night. In the closing laps you could have thrown a
blanket over the top 4 as Byron Reed, Linder, Brandon Martin, and Neil Shepard battled 2
and 3 wide. All four transferred to the main event.
The All Stars will be back in action on Saturday May 13th at K-C Raceway in Chillicothe,
Ohio. The event is co-sanctioned with the World of Outlaws and is dubbed “The Ohio
Challenge II”. The original “Ohio Challenge” was rained out last season and
was never rescheduled.

The All Star virtual merchandise trailer should be up and running this week and you will
be able to order All Star merchandise online.

All Stars to Invade “The Track That Action
Built” – Fremont Speedway
CAMARGO, IL (4-30-06) – The All Star Circuit of Champions is preparing to take on
the tough Ohio regulars at Jim Ford’s Fremont Speedway in Fremont, Ohio this
Saturday, May 6th. Many drivers on the All Star tour have cut their teeth on the 1/3 mile
clay oval located at the Sandusky County Fairgrounds. All Star legends Frankie Kerr, Rick
Ferkel, Al Liskai, and Jim Linder called Fremont home over the years. Four time All Star
champion Chad Kemenah got his start at Fremont Speedway as well. Current All Star drivers
Greg Wilson, Brock Mayes, and Brandon Martin have been turning laps at Fremont for several
years.
Tough locals such as Byron Reed and Mark Keegan can give any traveling series fits when
they invade Attica and Fremont. Both are current All Star members, but do not travel with
the series full time. Other locals who could make things tough for the All Stars are John
Ivy, Rob Chaney, Craig Mintz, Andrew Palker, Mike Linder, Caleb Griffith, and Bobby Clark
just to name a few.
One thing is certain; the All Stars have always put on an exciting show at Fremont
Speedway. The car count will be high in the heart of 410 country and the competition level
will be top notch as it has always been throughout the years.
The All Star series was off this past weekend, but the All Star drivers didn’t take a
break. Friday night at Attica Raceway Park, Brock Mayes finished 2nd in a make up race
from an earlier rain-out, then went on to win the A-main on a last lap pass of Byron Reed.
Butch Schroeder took the win at KC Raceway on Saturday night. Greg Wilson finished 2nd
behind Mike Linder at Fremont Speedway on Saturday as well. Other All Star regulars
Brandon Martin, Chad Blonde, Neil Shepard, and Tim Hunter were in action at Attica, KC,
and Fremont over the weekend as well.

Greg Wilson Leads All Star Points; Blonde Leads Rookie Chase
CAMARGO, IL (4-23-06) – By Bryan Autullo –
All Star veteran Greg “Wild Man” Wilson has retained the All Star Circuit of
Champions season points lead after a fierce battle at Eldora Speedway this past weekend.
Wilson’s car owner, Verl Warnimont, leads the Owner Points with his All Star Plumbing
& Heating sponsored #w20.
Friday night’s co-sanctioned event with the World of Outlaws was rained out at
Lawrenceburg Speedway and has been rescheduled for July 7th. Saturday had the appearance
of a co-sanctioned event as many of the Outlaws made the short trip from Southern Indiana
up to Western Ohio’s Eldora Speedway.
The All Stars had their work cut out for them battling for season championship points
amongst themselves as they fought for track position against the Outlaw teams. All but one
All Star team made the A-main making the mix of cars in the main event an even 50/50.
Twelve All Star teams and twelve outsiders made up the starting grid. It was Mean 15
member Jac Haudenschild who would win the event with several All Star teams scattered
throughout the Top 15.
The Rookie of the Year chase is starting to heat up as Brandon Martin and James Mosher are
tied for second place with 6 points each behind Chad Blonde’s 13 points. Blonde has
had an exceptional start to the 2006 season, but the other contenders have begun to find
their comfort level with the traveling series and may soon start to put some pressure on
the leader.
Greg Wilson also leads the Haulmark Dash points chase. New in 2006, points will be kept
separately and will be tallied throughout the season for the Haulmark Dash points fund to
be paid to the Top 6 drivers at the end of the season. Points for the Dash will be awarded
the same as in years past and will also count toward the Series Championship points.
The All Star series will be off this coming weekend and will be back in action at Fremont

The "Wild Child" Puts on Clinic at Eldora Speedway
ROSSBURG, OH (4-22-06) – By Bryan Autullo - The
“Wild Child” Jac Haudenschild showed everyone in attendance at the fast,
high-banked Eldora Speedway how he got his nickname. Starting 15th behind some of the top
names in the business, Jac worked his way to the front with bonsai moves, slide jobs, and
his patented high line around the ½ mile dirt monster in Western Ohio. He sliced and
diced his way through the field of All Star, Outlaw, and NST regulars with the precision
of a surgeon. He was a man on a mission, or to be more exact - a man on a missile. Jac
asked car owner Rick Wright if they could go run at Eldora with the All Stars and Rick
said “Only if you go win it.” Jac didn’t let the boss down, putting the
Wright Construction #35 in the winners circle on a night plagued with several short rain
delays that kept the moisture in the track and made for a very fast, multi-groove racing
surface.
On lap 8, former All Star champion Kevin Huntley got into the fence in turn two bringing
out the first caution of the 30 lap event. When the green flag waved, Joey Saldana was
leading with Blaney, Kemenah, Pittman, Mayes and Haudenschild rounding out the Top 6.
Saldana in the Curb Records #9, who led the first 17 laps of the race, relinquished his
lead to Haudenschild on lap 18, followed by a fast closing Chad Kemenah in the 15k UUI
sponsored machine. Kemenah and Saldana battled for several laps along with Dale Blaney in
the George Fisher #2 car. Saldana closed the gap in traffic and made several attempts to
dive through the turns to pick up ground on the leader, but Haudenschild’s experience
with the high side of the race track proved too much for the hard charging driver in the
Kasey Kahne owned #9.
Randy Hannagan, who started 14th, quietly made his way through the field picking off cars
lap after lap and patiently making moves through traffic that would put him into 5th place
at the checkered flag. Paul McMahan who made the tow overnight all the way from
Hutchinson, KS put the Tony Stewart owned Bass Pro Shops #20 into 6th place at the line.
Rob Chaney in his 2006 debut in Denny Ashworth’s #92 car finished 7th. All Star
Circuit of Champions points leader Greg Wilson in the All Star Plumbing & Heating
sponsored #w20 came home 8th. Daryn Pittman finished 9th. Danny Smith, who made his return
after losing his wife to cancer last weekend, rounded out the Top 10.
The Haulmark Dash was as good as any race that has been run all season with All Star
members Dale Blaney and Danny Smith exchanging the lead and racing side by side, wheel to
wheel down the back stretch, for 6 laps with Blaney coming out on top. Brock Mayes, Butch
Schroeder, Greg Wilson, and Tim Hunter rounded out the 6 finishing spots to gain points
toward the season-end Haulmark Dash Points Fund.
The B-main was another hard fought battle between Rookie of the Year points leader Chad
Blonde, Rookie contender Brandon Martin, and Paul May. The three ran nose to tail
throughout most of the race. Blonde took the checkered flag, followed by May, Martin,
Rose, Aldrich, and Ruble. Not making the transfer to the A-main was Jason Martin, James
Mosher, Kent Wolters who spun early, and Eddie Neumeister who flipped gently trying to
avoid the spin. The #1 of Sean Robinson was unable to make the call and scratched for the
evening.
The Outerwears Pre-filters Heat was won by Jeremy Campbell. The B&B Oval Track
Products Heat was won by Kevin Huntley. The Engler Machine and Tool Heat was won by Jac
Haudenschild.
The All Stars will take next weekend off and then be back in action on Saturday May 6th at
“The Track That Action Built” – Fremont Speedway in Fremont, Ohio. For more
information on the All Stars, visit www.allstarsprint.com.
The All Star virtual merchandise trailer should be up and running soon and you will be
able to order All Star merchandise online.

All Stars to Battle Outlaws at Lawrenceburg before Heading to Eldora
CAMARGO, IL (4-16-06) – The All Star Circuit of
Champions will take on the World of Outlaws again with the 3rd co-sanctioned event of the
2006 season on Friday April 21st. This time it will be on a ¼ mile bull ring in Southern
Indiana. It has been described as "having 24 fighter jets in your living room".
Lawrenceburg’s tight quarters will make for some of the best action so far this
season as the two longest running 410 winged sprint car series do battle on a short, high
banked dirt track.
From there, the series travels back into Ohio to take on the big dirt monster known as
Eldora Speedway. The series visited the high banks just a few weeks ago in what looked
like a scaled down version of the Knoxville Nationals with most of the best 410 winged
sprint car drivers in the country on hand. Greg Wilson will be trying to hold onto his
series points lead throughout the weekend. Brock Mayes and Chad Blonde are not far behind.
Blonde also leads the Rookie of the Year points going into the weekend.
(Note: All Star member Danny Smith recently lost his wife to cancer and is taking some
time off from racing. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers).

Wilson Backs Up Prediction with Attica Coors Light
Spring Nationals Win
ATTICA, OH (4-15-06) – By Brian Liskai and Bryan Autullo
Greg Wilson made a bold prediction from victory lane after winning the All Star Circuit of
Champions Haulmark Dash Saturday on the second night of the 15th Annual Coors Light Spring
Nationals at Attica Raceway Park: "I'll be back up here in a little while."
Wilson made good on that promise in front of the packed grandstands to claim the 40 lap
feature win, his first for new car owner Verl Warnimont. The win moved the Benton Ridge,
Ohio driver into the All Star point lead.
"We always run good at Attica. To accomplish this first win for Verl in front of this
huge crowd is just awesome," said Wilson beside his All Star Plumbing and Heating
sponsored #w20. "I found a good line, high around one and two and low around three
and four and my crew just gave me an easy car to drive. It was just a matter of saving the
tires and not slipping off the edge."
Wilson dedicated the victory to fellow All Star competitor Danny Smith, whose wife
succumbed to cancer earlier in the day. "This is such a sad day for our racing
family. Danny is a great guy and our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his
family," said Wilson. Information on where you can send cards, flowers, or donations
will be posted later this week on the All Star web site.
35 drivers signed into the pits on the second night of racing at Attica and saw a much
different racing surface. The Attica 305 sprints were also on hand to provide the support
action for the evening. The heavy cushion gave way to a smooth, slick, racy surface that
had three grooves of racing.
Stevie Smith jumped into the early lead from his pole starting position in the feature and
built a commanding lead over Brock Mayes and Wilson who battled back and forth.
Catastrophe struck Smith on lap 18, as he made contact with the lapped machine of Todd
Heller in turn two and spun, sending him to the tail. At the 2005 Spring Nationals, Smith
encountered the exact same situation late in the race, when contact with a lapped car gave
the win to Danny Smith.
On the restart, Wilson had two lapped cars between he and second place Mayes, with fast
qualifier Kevin Huntley in third, followed by Byron Reed, Butch Schroeder, Mark Keegan,
Mike Linder and Craig Mintz.
While Wilson cruised to a commanding lead positions third through eighth changed every
lap. At the half way mark, Wilson led over Mayes, Huntley, Schroeder, Keegan and Reed. On
lap 28, Huntley and Mayes waged the battle for second. The second and last caution of the
feature would fly on lap 31 for a spinning Reed. On the restart Wilson would have a three
lap car advantage over Mayes, Huntley, Keegan, Mintz, Linder, and now a fast closing Dale
Blaney who had started 14th.
With five laps to go, all eyes were on Smith, who had steadily worked his way from the
tail after his spin to seventh. With three laps to go, Wilson was cruising, and Blaney had
moved into second, with Mayes third, Linder fourth and now Smith into fifth. Smith used
the very bottom of the track in turns three and four to move around Linder the next lap by
and went to the high side around Mayes in turns one and two to take third.
Wilson held a five car length advantage at the checkered, with Blaney, Smith, Linder,
Mayes, Mintz, Huntley, Keegan, Schroeder, and Bryan Scott rounding out the top 10.
"We had a good weekend for the first time out this year...a second and a fifth,"
said Blaney beside his George Fisher #2. "It was just a matter of being patient and
staying in your groove."
Smith was upset with himself after tangling with the lapped machine. "I was too
worried about where Greg was running and not concentrating on where I needed to be. After
I spun, I just had to calm down...I knew I had a good car. I just went back to the line I
should have been running and started picking them off. My hat's off to Greg, he ran a good
race."
One side note on the evening is that Neil Shepard, the 16 year old son of former All Star
champion Terry Shepard made his 410 sprint car racing debut this weekend in the family
owned #4n car. Neil spent the last three years running mini-sprints, and in only his
second night out he managed to qualify 13th and transfer out of his heat to the A-Main. He
also finished 4th in the Haulmark Dash.
The season points have been shaken up this weekend with the addition of several new All
Star members and the loss of a few who are already full time members of the WoO or the
NST. They had scheduled races on Saturday with their respective series and were not in
attendance. Visit www.allstarsprint.com for all the latest news and for the updated series
points. The information will be available online soon. Also, look for the new All Star
“Cyber Merchandise Trailer” to open soon so you can order your All Star apparel
online.
Next stop for the All Stars is April 21st at Lawrenceburg Speedway for another
co-sanctioned World of Outlaws show and then April 22nd back at the famed Eldora Speedway.

Terry McCarl Takes Attica Spring Nationals Opener
ATTICA, OH (4-14-06) – By Brian Liskai and Bryan Autullo
The All Star Circuit of Champions rolled into Northern Ohio under threatening skies once
again, and again the weather gods spared the series as only a few rain drops fell prior to
hot laps. The cars and fans came out in full force. 41 cars made the tow to Attica Raceway
Park’s 15th Annual Coors Light Spring Nationals. There weren’t many seats left
open as the fans in this region appreciate the great competitive racing that the All
Star’s always bring to town. This race was like a marathon, with Altoona, Iowa's
Terry McCarl surviving for the victory. McCarl just became an All Star member this past
week and then put an exclamation point on his membership form with the win tonight.
The 40-lap A-main took over an hour before the checkered finally flew, as there were three
red flags and four cautions slowing the action. Nobody was hurt, but there was a lot of
twisted metal exiting the speedway on the hook.
McCarl, who currently sits third in the World of Outlaws point standings, admitted he was
nervous leading. "I have had so many shows won here only to slip off the banking.
They did a nice job with the track tonight and you could race all over the place,"
said McCarl beside his Big Game Tree Stand, Bosma Poultry sponsored #24. "This wasn't
easy by any means. The All Stars are tough and the Attica regulars always race you hard. I
screwed up at one point...moving my wing too far back and it made the car too tight. On
that last restart I moved the wing forward and the car just took off."
The start of the feature saw Kevin Huntley spin in turn one. On the restart, 2005 ARP
track champion Byron Reed and Paul May flipped hard down the front stretch. The third time
wasn't the charm, as Ryan Coniam looped his Miller Rigging car in turn four on the next
restart.
On the fourth try, Mark Keegan, the all-time winningest driver at Attica, bolted into the
lead from his outside front row starting spot, with Greg Wilson, Andrew Palker, McCarl and
Stevie Smith in tow. Keegan also became an All Star member this week and was looking to
make a statement with a victory. The red would fly on lap five when Jon Trudeau tipped
over in turn four, as Rob Chaney, driving a team car to Craig Mintz, stopped to avoid the
crash.
Before the green would wave, Andrew Palker, who had moved into second, would duck into the
pits to replace his fuel cap and would have to go to the tail. On the restart Keegan used
the rim to build a lead over Wilson, Smith, David Harrison, and Mike Linder who had moved
up from his 15th starting spot. All eyes were on Todd Kane who had moved from 17th up to
ninth.
Just two laps later the caution would fly again for a Brock Mayes spin in turn two. The
running order now was Keegan, McCarl, Wilson, Smith, Harrison, Linder, Dale Blaney, Chad
Blonde, Kane and fast qualifier Butch Schroeder.
McCarl would execute his winning move on the restart, using the slide job to move in front
of Keegan exiting turn four. The caution would fly a lap later for a Huntley spin. With 32
laps yet to go it was McCarl, Keegan, Wilson, Linder, Smith, Harrison and Blonde, up from
16th.
After the restart, McCarl pulled away, but the yellow would come out again on lap 14, as
Wilson slid off the high side of turn two and would coast to a stop in turn four with a
flat tire. McCarl would lead on the restart with the lapped car of Caleb Griffith between
he and Keegan. Linder had moved into third with Smith fourth, Blonde up to fifth, Harrison
and Kane in tow.
A lap later disaster would strike in turn three as Kane ended up on his lid. Once the
track went back to green, the longest run of the feature would take place, as McCarl built
a lead only to have it vanish in heavy lapped traffic as Keegan and Blonde closed. The
final caution would fly on lap 30 for Harrison who slid off of turn three. That gave
McCarl a clear track and he pulled away for the win. Behind him though, Keegan and Blonde
raced side by side for second, with the All Star Rookie of the Year candidate from
Litchfield, Mich., edging Keegan at the line. Linder would come home fourth, followed by
Dale Blaney, Smith, Rob Chaney, Lee Jacobs, Jimmy Stinson, and Coniam rounding out the top
10.
In B-main action, it was Huggins Cams Fast Qualifier Butch Schroeder, Paul May, and Brock
Mayes leading the charge with Rookie of the Year contender Brandon Martin make a hard
charge for the final transfer spot. He made some bold moves and had a spot secured until a
late race restart the caused his motor to stumble, which cost him several spots.
The Haulmark Dash was won by Rookie of the Year points leader, Chad Blonde.
The All Stars will be back in action at Attica Raceway Park on Saturday April 15th. For

All Stars Head to the 15th Annual Attica Coors Light Spring Nationals
CAMARGO, IL (4-10-06) – The All Star Circuit of
Champions will head to the high banks of Attica Raceway Park for the 15th Annual Coors
Light Spring Nationals this weekend, April 14th & 15th. Over the years this annual
event has become a tradition in the state of Ohio signaling that the racing season is
fully underway and warm weather won’t be far behind.
The All Stars will face the tough as nails Attica regulars on their own turf, but many of
the All Star regulars have turned many laps at this North Central Ohio speed plant.
Located in close proximity to Fremont Speedway, most of the weekly Attica regulars compete
at both tracks and many of the top guns have moved up into the All Star ranks over the
years.
This weekend we’ll face Byron Reed, Mike Linder, Mark Keegan, and a host of other
Attica regulars as Greg Wilson, Butch Schroeder, Chad Blonde, Dale Blaney, Barry Ruble,
Tim Hunter, Brandon Martin, Brock Mayes, Paul May, and James Mosher bring the All Star
tradition back to Northern Ohio for the first time this season.
(Note: All Star member Danny Smith is currently taking some time away from racing due to
an illness in his family. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers).

Sammy Swindell Sweeps Eldora Weekend – Night #2
ROSSBURG, OH (4-8-06) – Night #2 of the first
co-sanctioned weekend with the World of Outlaws looked a lot like the preliminary night.
Once again, it was a veritable “Who’s who?” in the world of sprint car
racing. All the top contenders from the World of Outlaws, the National Sprint Tour, and
the All Star Circuit of Champions were on hand to do battle, but it was the guy not
aligned with any sanctioning body that came out on top once again.
Sammy Swindell completed the sweep on the weekend by dominating from his front row
starting position. By lap three he had begun to catch the back of the field. He had the
right rear up on the outside wall indicating that his years of experience and countless
laps at the famed half mile showed him the fastest way around the race track. “I
think a lot of guys get intimidated by running up close to the wall but I’ve got a
lot of laps in here and I’m more comfortable running right up next to the wall than
being away from it. I figure if something breaks then I won’t hit it very hard.
I’d rather be right up next to it rather than be down a ways. Definitely if it’s
fast, I’ll be the first one up there,” said Swindell.
Tim Kaeding came home 2nd and could not get through lapped traffic to make a challenge for
the lead. Danny Lasoski finished 3rd and stated, “Any time that we can come out of
Eldora and roll this Dennis Roth Motorsports Eagle into the trailer, it’s a pretty
good weekend. To run good here, you have to run like Sammy Swindell did. You have got to
be able to attack the wall and just run it, run it, run it. That’s what he did. They
had the best car all weekend and they did the best job. He did the best job driving so my
hat’s off to him.”
The weather was cold and windy and the Eldora Speedway track personnel did a fantastic job
of keeping the show moving in order to get the fans on the road early and out of the
frigid air.
The All Stars managed to correct most of the motor issues that plagued them on Friday
night except for Rookie of the Year contender James Mosher who was unable to make repairs
in time for qualifying. Another Rookie contender, Brandon Martin, had mechanical problems
again after his heat race and was not able to start the B-main.
The fierce competition made qualifying well a top priority. Not making the inversion at
the high-speed half mile when up against some of the toughest competitors in the country
creates an almost insurmountable task of making the transfer out of your heat race to the
A-main.
With Swindell, Lasoski, Schatz, and Kaeding already locked in to run the main event on
Saturday, only the Top 4 from each heat could transfer to the A-main. Everyone else had
the daunting task of trying to transfer out of the B-main for those final 4 spots. Terry
McCarl, Jason Solwold, Stevie Smith, and Rob Chaney would take those positions and move on
to the main event. Greg Wilson narrowly missed the transfer from his heat race and from
the B-main on a super-fast track that didn’t see a whole lot of passing. Brock Mayes
and Butch Schroeder transferred to the A-main, but Brock dropped out early with problems.
The All Star points have been shaken up after the first weekend of racing in Ohio since
the Florida Speedweek events back in February. Jason Solwold still leads as he has run all
of the All Star points races so far, but being a member of another organization will have
him running elsewhere when the All Stars travel to Attica Raceway Park next weekend for
the Coors Light Spring Nationals. The 2006 season points chase is still wide open.

Sammy Swindell Wins Eldora Showdown – Night #1
ROSSBURG, OH (4-7-06) – What started off as a warm and sunny day in western Ohio
turned into a cold, windy, rainy night with temperatures dropping into the low 40’s
and wind gusts blowing at 30 mph. Funnel clouds were reportedly seen in the Rossburg area.
Eldora Speedway, however, escaped the worst of the weather that was dumping buckets of
rain to the north and to the south.
During the hotlap sessions the temperature was still mild, but the threat of rain was
looming and dark clouds could be seen all around the speedway. With just two cars left to
go in qualifying, those skies finally opened up and the rain came down. Thankfully it was
only a small amount and a half hour later we were ready to roll again.
With the track conditions now changed, fairness had to come into play and the entire field
had to be re-qualified. By the time another hot lap session was run for the 46 cars in the
pits, the temperature was dropping…fast. The wind was beginning to shift from the
North and there was still plenty of moisture in the air. This would take its toll on many
motors. The field would take just one lap this time to determine their heat starting
positions, and for some this would be the end of their evening.
Rookie contender James Mosher lost a piston during his qualifying run and was forced to
scratch for the evening. Rookie contender Brandon Martin also head engine trouble after
his qualifying run, and though the crew was working feverishly to get it corrected he was
not able to make the call to line up for his heat. Brandon was also done for the evening.
Paul May changed a motor and was not able to make it out for his qualifying run, which put
him on the tail of his heat. He then had some mechanical problems that forced him to drop
out early. Brock Mayes, who was running up front throughout that same heat race, lost a
motor with just 3 laps to go. He was solidly in a transfer spot but the motor gremlins got
him as well.
The competition within the 46 car field made it challenging for everyone with the top
names in sprint car racing rolling into the infamous half mile, high-banked speed plant.
However, it wasn’t necessarily the competition who got the best of the All
Stars…it was the changing weather and Eldora Speedway itself. With the World of
Outlaws, the newly formed National Sprint Tour, and some independent racers from all
around the area on hand to do battle, it was the All Stars who took the biggest hit on
motors.
Greg Wilson and Butch Schroeder were able to transfer from their heats and also had
qualifying times that allowed them to run the Dash. However, it was Butch who was now
unable to make the call and was scored last in his Dash. The problems were fixed in time
to start the A-main where he came home 12th. Greg Wilson had a good run battling side by
side for several laps with former All Star champion Chad Kemenah. Greg finished 14th in
the 25 lap A-main event.
Sammy Swindell, who is not officially affiliated with any series, won the event in grand
fashion. The veteran star finished the race with no brakes and a stuck throttle. “I
had both feet on the floor because there weren’t any brakes and the throttle
wouldn’t go down or come up. It wasn’t wide open, but it was close. The problem
was that you needed to work the throttle a little bit when you hit the ruts and I
couldn’t do that. I knew it was getting close to the end because they gave me the
five-to-go. I hoped I had a bit of a lead because I tried to ride it out. I was a sitting
duck. I couldn’t go faster and I couldn’t go slower. I was just fortunate that I
got into some open track where I could just run laps by myself. It was good enough. I saw
somebody right there at the end, but once I got past the checkered flag I just turned the
switch off. That was the only way I could stop,” said Swindell.
Through the efforts of the Eldora track crew facing adverse weather conditions, the All
Stars will be back at Eldora for the second night of co-sanctioned competition with the
World of Outlaws on Saturday, April 8th. The temperature will be cold, but the sun will be
shining and the All Star teams will make the needed adjustments and take another crack at
the half mile dirt monster we call Eldora Speedway.

Brandon Martin Joins 2006 All Star Rookie Chase
CAMARGO, IL (3-31-06) – As the 2006 All Star tour
gets ready to turn up the heat on the World of Outlaws in the season’s first
co-sanctioned event at Eldora Speedway on April 7th & 8th, Brandon Martin will be
turning up the heat on the All Star Rookie of the Year chase. Brandon and BMI Racing
(Attica, OH) made the announcement this week that they will be chasing the Rookie of the
Year honors which pays the winner of the award $10,000 on top of the Season Championship
Points Fund.
Brandon raced full time with the MASS series in 2005 along with Chad Blonde, who will also
be competing for the All Star Rookie title in 2006. James Mosher from Albuquerque, NM will
also be touring with the All Stars and chasing that title as well. “We have a great
group of young, hard chargers running with us this season,” said series president Guy
Webb. “These are the type of guys who are the future of the All Stars and of 410
winged sprint car racing in general.” With the exodus of 4-time All Star Champion
Chad Kemenah to the World of Outlaws, the door is wide open for a new champion this
season. “Five years ago nobody had heard of Chad Kemenah,” said Webb.
“It’s time for the next champion to step up to the plate.”
Brandon Martin started racing 305 sprints in 2000 after spending 7 years turning laps in
the go-kart ranks. He won Attica Raceway Park’s “Hard Charger” award and
was Fremont Speedway’s Co-Rookie of the Year his first year in a sprint car. Brandon
made his 410 debut just one year later in September of 2001 with the All Star series at
Fremont Speedway. In 2002 he began racing 410's full time at Fremont and Attica. In
December of 2004, Brandon spent some time in Florida on the super-fast high banks of
Daytona Speedway testing in an ARCA stock car. His next big challenge will be the high
banked dirt 1/2 mile monster called Eldora Speedway.
Brandon has gained lots of valuable dirt track experience around Ohio, Michigan,
Pennsylvania, and Indiana and has been building BMI Racing into a well oiled machine.
“The rookie chase will be pretty cool,” stated Martin. “Chad Blonde is a
good racer and he will be tough, however I do feel good about our chances. We just need
things to go our way and to keep the car out of trouble and we'll be fine!”
Off the track Brandon has gotten a lot of attention as well. After the devastating
hurricane season last year, Brandon and the entire BMI Racing team enlisted the help of
the Northwest Ohio racing community to lend a hand to those who had lost everything.
Martin converted his 48-foot trailer into a relief station, transporting over $50,000
worth of supplies to the nearly 8,000 residents of Pass Christian, Mississippi, which was
literally destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. They chose this town because they were a small
racing community as well and it just seemed to fit. One racing community helping another.
Their generosity was well received.
“You can’t understand the destruction until you see it for yourself... it was
utterly amazing,” said Martin after delivering relief supplies to the storm’s
victims. To see the faces of the people when we opened that trailer door and they saw all
the stuff.... they just couldn’t believe a bunch of race fans from Ohio would do that
for them.”
Brandon will enter the 2006 All Star season with a brand new paint scheme and a new
sponsor, Clean Burn, who is the manufacturer of the most reliable used-oil furnaces on the
market. “I’m looking forward to the season,” said Martin. “The first
couple weeks are going to be interesting and we just need some good luck!” You can
find out more about Brandon and BMI Racing by visiting his web site at www.brandonmartinracing.com.
The All Stars will be in action on April 7th and 8th at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, OH
and then on to Attica Raceway Park for the Coors Light Spring Nationals on April 14th and
15th. Visit the All Star web site at www.allstarsprint.com

All Stars Team Up with World of Outlaws for Several Co-Sanctioned Events
CAMARGO, IL (3-17-06) – 2006 is shaping up to be a
year of change in the world of sprint car racing. The shake up in the upper ranks of the
sport over this past off season has prompted many track promoters to question the future
of winged 410 sprint car racing. Many also questioned the ability of the All Star series
to survive this split and those questions have been answered. “America’s
Series” remains true to its roots in providing great racing and good family
entertainment at an affordable ticket price.
The All Star series opened the 2006 season at Volusia County Speedway in February and will
run approximately 50 races throughout the summer at dirt tracks around the Midwest. Danny
Lasoski, Donny Schatz, and Terry McCarl have all visited victory lane with the All Stars
already this season.
The All Stars, in an effort to help bring stability back to sprint car racing and increase
the exposure of the teams and drivers within the series, have formed an alliance with DIRT
Motorsports, SLS Promotions, and the infamous World of Outlaws to co-sanction a number of
races and bring the two series together to race head to head on the same track for the
first time in history.
What this means to the fans is added value for their admission price. The All Stars will
be competing with the World of Outlaws in 14 events in 2006. The two series will do battle
and provide the fans with an intense showdown at each one of these events. Tom Deery,
president of DIRT Motorsports says, “We’re bringing together the two longest
running winged 410 sprint car sanctioning bodies in the United States to run on the same
track on the same night. We feel this will increase the entertainment value and experience
for the fans.”
The races will be run under the World of Outlaw’s format, but points will be tracked
separately for each series. This gives the teams in each series the opportunity to receive
points from both the All Stars and the Outlaws if they are card carrying members of both
sanctioning bodies.
The teams will receive tow money from their respective series just as they would at any
other sanctioned event. Points, however, are a little bit trickier to follow. The highest
finishing All Star member will receive points equal to that of winning an All Star event.
The second highest finishing All Star member will receive 2nd place points, and so on. If
those same drivers also carry an Outlaw membership, points will be awarded to them based
on their finishing position under the Outlaw format.
“I feel this is a huge boost for our drivers,” stated All Star series owner Guy
Webb. “It gives our guys an opportunity to race for more money and go head to head
against some of the best drivers in the business.” He went on to say, “A number
of these co-sanctioned races are going to be televised on the Outdoor Channel. That helps
to increase our exposure and will hopefully attract new sponsors to our series and provide
more value for the ticket buying public’s entertainment dollar.”
Guy Webb has been working with Steve Sinclair of SLS Promotions to put this deal together
to increase car counts and to bring the All Star brand to new markets. "At SLS we're
extremely pleased to be working with premier regional sprint groups such as the All-Stars,
IRA, NOSA, and SCOA in markets where we can,” said Sinclair. “By doing so we're
providing additional value to the fans and hopefully they'll realize that SLS is doing
everything we can to present a good show. It's good to have positive relationships with
other series and have a common goal. I see it as a significant plus.” SLS has had
recent success with this program already in 2006. “In Arizona we worked with SCOA and
the AMRA Midgets and I thought it worked great, plus we had the highest car count in our
three years of bringing World of Outlaw events to Manzanita, plus our crowd was up. I
think it's great that the World of Outlaws see this as a positive as well and are allowing
us to do this. It's great for 410 racing," stated Sinclair.
Guy Webb has also put together a few deals outside of the SLS promoted shows to increase
the number of times the All Stars will have this opportunity to race with the Outlaws.
“What we’re trying to do is bring some stability back to the sport,” said
Webb. “This split has damaged the integrity of our sport and it is our goal to work
with the World of Outlaws to make sure the fans get to see a great race.”
Originally formed in 1970 by Bud Miller and then re-formed in 1980 by Bert and Brigette
Emick, the All Star Circuit of Champions has been one of the most competitive dirt track
sprint car racing series in the country. Over the past 27 years, 1,358 races have been run
with 149 different drivers making appearances in victory lane. Guy Webb would like to
continue that tradition as he leads the historical series into a new era in sprint car
racing.
Many of the top names in sprint car racing have competed in the All Star series at some
point in their careers. Current NASCAR drivers Dave Blaney, Jeff Gordon, and Kasey Kahne
are graduates of the All Star series. Other drivers who have won All Star races in the
past include Steve, Kraig, Kelly, and Mark Kinser, Frankie Kerr, Kevin Huntley, Bobby
Allen, Rick Ferkel, Jeff Shepard, Doug Wolfgang, Sammy Swindell, Ricky Hood, Danny
Lasoski, Stevie Smith, Fred Rahmer, Lance Dewease, Greg Hodnett, Keith Kauffman, Chad
Kemenah, Kenny Jacobs, and Gary Wright.
For the 2006 season, many more of the top open wheel drivers in the country will join the
competition on the All Star tour. Veterans such as Danny Smith, Dean Jacobs, and Dale
Blaney will once again compete with the likes of Paul May, Greg Wilson, Brock Mayes, Barry
Ruble, and Tim Hunter for the $50,000.00 All Star Season Points Championship. Also, rookie
contenders Chad Blonde and James Mosher will take to the dirt along side the others to
compete for the $10,000 Rookie of the Year award.
The 2006 season resumes with the first co-sanctioned events of the year at the famed
Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio on April 7th & 8th. The All Stars will then head to
Attica Raceway Park for the Attica Coors Lite Spring Nationals on April 14th & 15th.

Blonde and Mosher to Battle for All Star Rookie of
the Year
Camargo, IL – (3-2-06) – Litchfield, Michigan and Albuquerque, New Mexico are
1500 miles apart on the map, but the All Star Circuit of Champions will bring Chad Blonde
and James Mosher together on dirt tracks around the mid-west this summer to do battle as
the organization’s latest Rookie of the Year contenders. The winner of the title will
find themselves $10,000 richer at the conclusion of the 2006 season.
Litchfield, Michigan’s Chad Blonde, who drives the orange and blue Blonde
Motorsports, Wesmar Engines, Maxim #5B, may be familiar to many of the fans in the
Ohio/Indiana/Michigan region. Chad is 26 years old and has been a regular contender with
the AVSS, GLOSS, and MASS series dating back to 1999. He has several wins with those
groups and has run a number of races with the All Stars since 2003 whenever the series
visited his area. In 2006, he has decided to make a run at the Rookie title and follow the
All Star tour full time. So far in 2006 he has shown that he will be a tough competitor by
making the A-main in all 3 All Star shows at Volusia Speedway against some of the best
drivers in the country.
James Mosher, who drives the orange Isotopes Micro-Brewery, Mosher Motorsports, Kistler
Engines, Maxim, #12m, calls Albuquerque, New Mexico home. He will venture out on the road
full time this summer to compete in as many races as he can with a number of different
organizations. His main focus will be the All Star schedule and the Rookie of the Year
title. James was introduced to the All Star organization this year in Florida and liked
the group and the level of competition. At age 29, he made the decision to follow the full
tour in 2006 and looks forward to visiting new tracks around the mid-west this summer.
James has raced mini-sprints for 10 years and won well over 200 main events in 12
different states, along with a few National Championships. He started racing sprint cars -
both winged and non-winged 360 and 410 - in July of 2005. He then won the NMMRA rookie of
the year, and also the SCOA rookie of the year.
The All Star Circuit of Champions would like to welcome both drivers to the series and we
look forward to seeing them compete for the Rookie of the Year title in 2006. The Rookie
chase is wide open and drivers still considering running for Rookie of the Year have until
May 2006 to declare their plans to pursue the title. The Rookie points and Season
Championship points can be found by visiting the All Star web site at www.allstarsprint.com.
All Stars Add PowerCom and Red River Valley to 2006
Schedule
Press Release By Bryan Autullo
Camargo, IL (2-20-06) – In a continuing effort to increase the number of events on
the 2006 racing schedule, the All Star Circuit of Champions have added three more
co-sanctioned dates with the World of Outlaws series. This new relationship with the
Outlaws is a combined effort to provide an even better show for the fans with increased
car counts and even more big name talent being provided by the All Stars. At the same time
it allows the All Stars the opportunity to increase the number of higher paying events on
the schedule and will help the All Star drivers to gain television exposure through the
Outdoor Channel broadcasts. Never before has there been a concerted effort to bring these
two series together for one ticket price to do battle head to head and provide added
entertainment for the ticket buying public. These events are full points shows for All
Star members and could shake things up in the point standings as the season progresses.
The first event to be added is Wednesday June 14th at The Raceway at PowerCom Park in
Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. Powercom Park is a high-banked, 1/3-mile oval. Daryn Pittman
established the track record of 11.275 seconds on July 10, 2001. From there, the All Stars
travel West to a two day show at Red River Valley Speedway in Fargo, ND on June 16th and
17th. Red River Valley Speedway is a high-banked half-mile oval. Craig Dollansky set the
single lap record of 14.786 seconds on July 4, 2002.
The All Stars have just completed their trip to Florida for the 35th Annual
WinterNationals at Volusia Speedway Park. After a short break through the month of March,
“America’s Series” will return to action with Jason Solwold leading the
points chase.
Season points after racing concluded in Florida is as follows:
1. Jason Solwold – 167
2. Greg Wilson - 163
2. Greg Hodnett - 163
4. Lance Dewease - 162
5. Chad Blonde - 153
6. Brock Mayes - 152
7. Paul May - 151
8. Jeremy Campbell – 149
9. Danny Smith - 146
10. Spud Gustin - 142
11. Barry Ruble - 141
12. Jessica Zemken – 66
Other All Star regulars such as Dale Blaney and Dean Jacobs will join the racing action
when the series returns to the mid-west in the spring. The past 8 series championships
have been won by just two drivers. Kenny Jacobs (’98, ’99, ’00, &
’01) and Chad Kemenah (’02, ’03, ’04, & ’05). There will be a
new champion in 2006 and the door is wide open as to who that might be.

McCarl Takes Volusia Speedway Park Finale
Volusia Speedway Park (Barberville, FL) – 2-12-06 On an unseasonably cold night at
Volusia Speedway Park, the All Star Circuit of Champions WinterNationals saw 6 cars locked
into the A-main for the $10,000 finale. Chad Kemenah, Jason Solwold, Danny Lasoski, Terry
McCarl, Joey Saldana, and Craig Dollansky were the Top 6 in WinterNationals points after
two nights of racing on February 7 and 8. The February 11th show was cancelled due to
heavy rains that fell over most of Northern Florida. Danny Lasoski took the checkers in
the first night of All Star action in 2006. Donny Schatz picked up his first All Star win
on night #2.
On the final night of Florida action, only 29 cars were signed into the pits as some teams
had to head out to make their way back home after a long week of racing. The heat races
were won by Greg Hodnett, Jeff Shepard, and Shane Stewart with the Top 4 from each heat
transferring to the A-main.
The All Star Haulmark Dash was won by Greg Hodnett. Second was Jason Solwold followed by
Dewease, Blonde, Campbell, and Mayes.
Danny Smith dominated the B-main, but Becca Anderson gave him a challenge or two early on
before getting up and over the wall on lap #3. Randy Hannagan ran Smith down after the
re-start, but didn’t have enough to make a challenge for the lead. Smith led all 12
laps on his way to the B-main victory. Hannagan was second, then Busby, Zemken, Ruble, and
Gustin rounded out the Top 6 who would transfer to the A-main.
Terry McCarl dominated the 30 lap A-main from start to finish to pick up the $10,000
paycheck. He took the lead on lap #1 and never looked back. Joey Saldana came from his 3rd
place starting position and chased Smith down throughout the feature, but never made a
challenge for the lead and had to settle for 2nd. Rounding out the Top 5 were Danny
Lasoski who started 5th, Craig Dollansky who started 6th, and Daryn Pittman who started
13th and just made it past Jason Solwold on the last lap to take 5th place.
The All Stars will head back North and take a short break to prepare for the rest of the
2006 racing season which will begin in early April. More of the All Star regulars are
expected to join the tour when the series comes back to the mid-west region for more
exciting racing action. In four nights of racing, the All Stars have had three different
winners and the first rain out of the season.
Please visit the All Star web site at www.allstarsprint.com for schedule additions and
updates and important news throughout the break between now and April. Congrats to Danny
Lasoski, Donny Schatz, and Terry McCarl on their 2006 All Star victories.

All Star Circuit of Champions – Wednesday 2-8-06
On night #2 of the 35th Annual WinterNationals at
Volusia Speedway Park, 37 cars signed into the pits with the All Star Circuit of
Champions. With Jac Haudenschild, Donny Schatz, and Brooke Tatnell joining the talent
already present at the Volusia County Speedway, making the 24 car starting field would
again prove to be a tall order. Greg Hodnett would get the night started by setting quick
time in qualifying, and backed that up with a run to the front to win the first heat race.
The other three heats were won by Bob Felmlee, Donny Schatz, and Jeff Shepard. The Al
Hamilton owned #77 again showed they would be the team to beat as Hodnett took the All
Star dash. For the second straight night Brock Mayes led the B feature to the checkers.
New track record holder Chad Kemenah and night one’s hard charger Joey Saldana would
lead the 24 car starting field to the green. The duo would battle side by side for the
first five laps with Kemenah running the bottom line and Saldana running the same top
groove that proved so effective the night before. A lap 6 spin by Lance Dewease would
bring Donny Schatz into the fold. When the green fell for the restart, Schatz was too much
for Saldana to hold off. A caution for Daryn Pittman’s motor expiring on a lap 11
would set up an exciting duel to the finish between early race leader Kemenah and the hard
charging Schatz. With the two encountering lapped traffic, Kemenah was forced to move the
#15K off the bottom groove where he had been so fast, and as Schatz searched the track for
a faster line the gap between them quickly closed. As the laps wound down Schatz was able
to work the higher line around Kemenah and hang on for his first career All Star Circuit
of Champions victory.

All Star Circuit of Champions – Tuesday 2-7-06
It was an unseasonably cold evening in Volusia County, but the track was extremely fast.
In qualifying, four time ASCoC champion Chad Kemenah lowered the Volusia County Speedway
track record previously held by Danny Lasoski. Heat races were won by Bob Felmlee, Danny
Smith, Joey Saldana, and Becca Anderson. The All Star dash was won by Greg Wilson, who
held off a late charge by Greg Hodnett at the line. Brock Mayes picked up the B feature
victory.
In the A-main, Greg Hodnett and Danny Lasoski led the 24 car starting field to the green.
An early race duel between the two was negated when Hodnett’s front wing supports
gave way less the half way through the 25 lap feature. From there Lasoski pulled away from
the rest of the field until a hard charging Craig Dollansky was able to track down
“The Dude” as the leaders reached lap traffic. A late race caution for Shane
Stewart put Dollansky nose to tail with Lasoski in a 2 lap shoot-out for the checkers.
Using all his experience Lasoski got a great restart at the green, which proved to be too
much for “The Crowd Pleaser” to overcome. Doing some crowd pleasing of his own,
Joey Saldana completed an amazing run from the 13th starting spot with a turn 4 pass of
Lance Dewease to finish 3rd. Rounding out the top 5 was Jason Solwold.

All Stars Announce 2006 Schedule
CAMARGO, IL – After much anticipation, the All Star Circuit of Champions sprint car
series has released the schedule for the 2006 racing season. Many exciting events will be
introduced as a part of the 2006 campaign. The goal for 2006 has been to maintain
stability in the All Star series and in 410 sprint car racing in general. For the past 3
decades, there have two premier touring 410 sprint car series. The addition of a third
touring series in 2006 has not affected the operations of the All Stars in any way. In
fact, the All Stars will have more $10,000 to win races than ever before and will once
again pay a points fund of nearly $175,000 with an additional $60,000 in contingency
awards. Only one 410 sprint car organization pays more in cash and prizes than the All
Stars.
Newly formed relationships with the XPLEX Extreme Competition Park and the Westwood
Development Group have revitalized the All Stars organization and will bring new concepts
in racing entertainment into the 2006 season and beyond. Events are being planned to give
the ticket buying fans more than just a race. The All Stars plan to bring entertainment
value to the forefront with special events and promotional exhibitions for one ticket
price. Other exciting events and promotions are being planned that will be implemented
into the racing program itself that will make things more interesting for fans and drivers
alike.
With sales pending on the purchase of certain facilities currently being pursued by this
new group, dates at those facilities will not be announced until the real estate
transactions have closed. There are also a handful of other dates that have been verbally
committed to, but contracts have not yet been signed. These will be announced at a later
date. The “Thunder Through The Plains” portion of the schedule will also be
announced at a later date when all contracts have been signed and deposits delivered.
Early June will make for an interesting bit of travel when the All Stars visit Wayne
County Speedway on June 1, Williams Grove on June 2, Lincoln Speedway on June 3 and then
make a 648 mile trek to Terre Haute Action Track on June 4. The last leg of this weekend
tour will be known as the “All Star Cannonball Run”. All participating teams
will receive a case of Red Bull at the end of the Lincoln Speedway A-main event. At that
time, the race is on to Terre Haute. The first team to arrive at the Terre Haute Action
Track will receive $300 bonus money in addition to their regular tow money.
Ohio Speedweek will once again be the crown jewel in the All Star schedule for 2006. The
week will kick off at K-C Raceway this year and end at Eldora, where the Speedweek
Champion will be crowned and the Ohio Speedweek $10,000 points fund will be distributed.
We would like to welcome Wayne County Speedway back as part of the Ohio Speedweek
tradition in 2006.
The All Stars will also co-sanction several races in 2006 with the World of Outlaws at
many of the "SLS Promotions" events. Visit www.slspromotions.com for more
information. Series owner Guy Webb says, “This is a great opportunity for our drivers
to gain experience and exposure at some of the Outdoor Channel televised events and to
have the opportunity to race for more prize money. There’s a new sheriff in
town,” he continued, “and I have deputized my drivers to go after the Outlaws
and bring them to justice.”
The teams who will be competing with the All Stars in 2006 include Danny Smith, Dale
Blaney, Paul May, Tim Hunter, Brock Mayes, Greg Wilson, Cody Geldart, Barry Ruble, Dean
Jacobs, Jeff Shepard, Chad Blonde, Andrew Palker. As in every other year, other regional
stars will also participate in many of the All Star races, such as Byron Reed, Kelly
Kinser, Tim Montgomery, Craig Mintz, Jason Dukes, Fred Rahmer, Lance Dewease, Greg
Hodnett, and a host of others who will come out and race when the All Stars are in their
area. Its part of the mystery that makes the All Stars great. You never know who might
show up on any given night. Several other drivers have been in contact with the series
requesting membership information and those announcements will be made at a later date
when we recieve firm committments from those teams that they plan to run the bulk of our
schedule. The 2006 schedule, though still somewhat of a work in progress, is as follows as
of today's date:

All Stars Enter 2006 With a New Voice
Press Release by Bryan Autullo
CAMARGO, IL – The All Star Circuit of Champions are viewing 2006 as “a season of
change.” Not only will the series have some new fan-friendly rules for the upcoming
season as they visit some new tracks, they will also have a new “Voice of the All
Stars”.
The All Stars would like to welcome as their new announcer, long time sprint car media
member, Dana Blair, of Wooster, Ohio. Dana comes to the series with nine years experience
as an on track and booth announcer. In addition to his broadcast background, he is also a
member of the print and internet media with his long standing coverage of sprint cars and
the All Star series. Blair has also hosted his own racing radio show and has been involved
in many other aspects of the sport.
Long time series announcer, Rob Klepper, has left to pursue a television broadcast
opportunity with another organization. The All Stars would like to thank Rob for his
efforts and wish him the best in his new endeavor.
In addition to broadcasting, Blair will be handling marketing and sales for the internet
broadcast as well as the series print publication programs. “I’m looking forward
to working with the All Stars again and getting back into the announcing part of the
business,” says Blair, “as I really enjoyed that part of it in years past.”
The All Stars will once again be broadcasting each race live via the internet. Tune into www.GoLiveSports.com each race night. A link to the
live broadcast can be found on the All Star web site. “Look forward to a lot more
things happening during the broadcasts this year,” says Blair. “We are looking
to fill a lot of the dead air time between races and during support division races.”
Live and taped interviews, live guests, and live e-mail question and answer sessions are
just some of the things planned for the new broadcast. “We will be acquainting the
fans with the drivers to create a more personal feel. We want to get the fans more
involved in knowing who our drivers are.”
The All Stars kick off the 2006 season at Volusia Speedway in Barberville (Daytona), FL on
February 7th. Please visit the All Star web site at www.allstarsprint.com
for more information. For information on advertising with the All Star series for special
events or as a series sponsor, please contact Duane Hancock at 419-553-6746 or 1duane@bright.net.
All Stars Announce 2006 Rule Changes and Official Hotel
CAMARGO, IL – In preparation for the 2006 racing season, All
Star Competition Director, Randy Fink, has announced several rule changes that will not
only help to improve the racing program, but are also intended to promote a more
fan-friendly event.
Some of the minor rule changes are related to body panels, nose wing positions, and
ignition box location. The changes can be found on the All Star web site at
www.allstarsprint.com or in the 2006 printed rule books, which will be available at the
first race at Volusia. Two of the biggest changes are in regards to provisional starting
positions and red flag fuel stops.
For the 2006 season, there will be no "provisional" or "promoters'
option" A-Main starting positions. The only exception to this revision is if a
specific, mutually acceptable agreement exists between the promoter and All Star
management. Should such an agreement exist, the specific formula and details must be
announced at the driver's meeting. After the conclusion of the driver's meeting, no
addition or changes can be made. If an All-Star member is added to the field, the team
will race for the designated prize money only, and no All Star A-Main points will be
awarded.
Also, the issue of red flag fuel stops has been addressed. There will be NO open red flag
fuel stops. You must be prepared to complete the designated number of laps by using a
larger fuel cell if necessary. No adjustments will be made to the car during the course of
the race. If a driver goes to the work area for any reason during a red or caution period,
they will rejoin the field at the tail. “Stopping the race to add fuel just
compromises the integrity of the race,” says Fink. “The fans come out to see an
exciting race from start to finish. We don’t want to stop the action for fuel, only
to have what amounts to a 5 or 6 lap dash to the finish.” Most cars are equipped with
a smaller fuel cell to decrease weight, but with the implementation of the weight rule a
few years ago, the smaller fuel cell is no longer necessary. “These guys better think
about investing in a 33 gallon fuel cell this year to run with our series,” Fink
Stated.
Changes to the Rookie of the Year points system and the Haulmark Dash have also been made
for the upcoming season in an effort to add excitement to the racing program.
The Rookie of the Year points were previously awarded as (1) point to the highest
finishing rookie who transferred to the A-main. For 2006, there will be (1) “show
up” point awarded for all rookie drivers who make the effort to compete in any given
event. Points will then be awarded for the A-main based on how many rookie drivers
transferred to the main event. If three rookie drivers compete in the A-main, points will
be awarded (3), (2), (1) in the order that they finished.
The Haulmark Dash has taken on a slightly different form as well. Points for the Dash will
be awarded the same as in years past and will count toward the Series Championship points.
However, the points will also be kept separately and will be tallied throughout the season
for a Haulmark Dash points fund to be paid to the Top 6 drivers at the end of the season.
The All Stars have once again designated Best Western, the World's Largest Hotel Chain, as
the official hotel for the series. This program offers everyone discounted room rates at
most Best Western’s throughout the United States. Race teams and fans are able to use
the special All Star MVP number to save up to 20% at Best Western Hotels worldwide. The
information can be found on the All Star web site by clicking on the “Official ASCoC
Hotel” button on the Fan Menu. If you cannot access the All Star web site, simply
call the special Best Western MVP toll-free number 800-441-1114 and mention the ALL STAR
SPRINT CLUB MVP number 00158060 to start saving and stay where the All Stars stay.

Car owners and drivers participating in All Star Circuit of Champions sprint car events
who wish to earn points toward the 2006 Series Championship must purchase an All Star
membership. Teams are encouraged to purchase memberships now and pick up their credentials
at the season opener at Volusia on February 7th.
Membership is not required to participate in All Star sprint car races, but is necessary
to earn points and be eligible for contingency prize awards. A driver must compete in at
least 70% of the scheduled season events to be eligible for the series points fund.
Drivers and car owners can find the 2006 membership forms on the All Star website www.allstarsprint.com. The supplemental MCNA
insurance information is also available for download on the web site.
The All Stars enter the 2006 season with a new attitude on an age old philosophy –
you must race to get paid. The All Star series is not interested in driver contracts,
signing bonuses, or show-up money. The All Stars are the weekend warriors with day jobs
who cannot travel cross-country full time, yet have the talent and the drive to compete
with the best of the best on any given night. This is what has made this
“America’s Series”. The names may change, but the competition still remains
fierce year after year.
The All Stars welcome all drivers, regardless of affiliation, to show up and compete for
the prize money. We welcome all fans to come out and see some of the best 410 sprint car
racing in the land. There is one thing that has rung true since the series was formed
– you never know who is going to win an All Star race. The 2006 season will be no
different.
