Rookie Justin Lofton Rules at Michigan
BROOKLYN MI
(6-14-08) – ARCA RE/MAX Series rookie Justin Lofton led the final 11 circuits
Saturday at Michigan Int’l Speedway to win the Racing For Wildlife 200.
Lofton, in
the Lofton Cattle Dodge, capitalized on the late-race misfortunes of Sean Caisse
and then kept Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. at bay to earn his career-first series
victory in only his eighth series attempt.
“I
came into this series a young driver from California,” said Lofton. “I knew
that I had the talent to be successful here, but I came in a little too
aggressive and trying too hard. The last couple of weeks I just relaxed, spent
some off-time to myself, and regrouped. I came into this a lot more relaxed and
just let the race come to me. Also, honestly I had Eddie Sharp as my crew chief
the last two weeks, and Laurin Ranier as my spotter. Eddie Sharp is the best
crew chief and car owner in the ARCA RE/MAX Series. This was an emotional win
for us.”
Lofton,
who earned the SunTrust Highest Finishing Rookie of the Race award, became the
eighth different winner after nine events in 2008. The Westmorland, California
driver also established a new race record with an average speed of 150.596 mph,
surpassing the old mark of 145.956 set by David Stremme in 2006.
Caisse, who
led 51 of 100 laps, was leading with 12 laps to go when the Pelham, New
Hampshire rookie made an unscheduled pit stop to replace a left-rear tire that
had gone flat. Caisse, in the Shigeaki Hattori-owned Toyota, went one lap down
in the exchange and finished 19th. Despite Caisse’s misfortunes, he
earned the Klotz Halfway Leader award and the Aaron’s Lap Leader honors for
leading the most laps.
Stenhouse,
in the Roush Fenway Racing Ford, finished second nearly two seconds behind the
winner. The Olive Branch, Mississippi driver also padded his point lead.
“We
definitely didn’t start where we wanted to (21st), but we knew we had a good
race car,” said Stenhouse. “We drove up through there to the first caution.
I think we got up to 12th, then Lumpy decided to make a two-tire stop there. We
got out in first and got the five points for leading a lap. The top three cars
got by us with new tires, but we could stay right with them and they started
coming back to us. Then we came in for our four-tire stop and got back out in
the lead. It just wasn’t too good on new tires but it was pretty good on old
ones.”
Frank
Kimmel, who started 15th, steered the Ford Drive One-ECC Ford to the
finish in third.
“We’re
really happy with it,” said Kimmel. “It’s the third race with this car for
us and we’re still learning on it. It’s a car we got from (Jack) Roush.
It’s a really a nice race car; it’s a lot better than we are right now.”
Scott
Speed, who fought a tight condition much of the race, finished fourth in the Red
Bull Toyota. He also earned the Accel Fastest Lap of the Race award.
Brian
Scott, in the Venturini Motorsports Chevrolet, battled back from a lap down to
finish fifth.
SIM Factory
Pole winner Speed led the first 14 circuits before Scott took control on lap 15.
However, Scott gave up the lead to Stenhouse during first round pit stops when
Stenhouse got off pit road first. Stenhouse led just two laps before Scott
reassumed command. Then Caisse passed Scott for the lead on lap 31 and began to
pull away from the field. Caisse led up through lap 59 before giving the lead
back to Stenhouse during second round pit stops. But with Caisse on the
continual charge, Stenhouse did not lead long before Caisse made the pass for
the top-spot on lap 68. From there, Caisse continued to pull away from Lofton,
who by then had also passed Stenhouse for position. But with a tire going down,
Lofton quickly caught Caisse inside of 12 laps from the finish.
Patrick
Sheltra finished sixth in the Ferguson Pipe-FloraGanics Dodge in front of Ken
Butler III, who finished seventh in the Aaron’s Lucky Dog Dream Machine
Toyota. Jesse Smith finished eighth in the Lloyd’s Barbeque-Hormel-Spam-Jones
Group Dodge. Dexter Bean was ninth in the Glock Chevrolet. AJ Henriksen, who
started 30th, finished 10th earning the Casite Hard
Charger award for advancing the most positions.
Lofton’s
crew chief Eddie Sharp earned the Cometic Gaskets Crew Chief of the Race.
The next
event for the ARCA RE/MAX Series will be the Cayuga ARCA RE/MAX 250 at Cayuga
Motor Speedway in Nelles Corners, Ontario Sunday, June 29th.

Rookie Stenhouse Stellar at Pocono
LONG POND
PA (6-7-08) – ARCA RE/MAX Series point leader Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. survived a
late-race restart and a last-lap charge from a Red Bull to win the wild Pocono
200 Saturday afternoon at Pocono Raceway.
“It
was pretty tough,” said Stenhouse, who also earned the SunTrust Rookie of the
Race award. “My restarts – I’ve been getting better. You had some people
shifting; you had some people not. We were almost three-wide there going into
turn one so I’m sure it was pretty exciting for the fans. I didn’t like it
but we ended up pulling through it and ended up with the win.”
Stenhouse,
in the no. 99 Roush Fenway Racing-Con Way Freight Ford, also became the first
repeat winner in 2008 after eight events.
“I’m
pretty excited about that (winning two races). Hopefully we’ll be the first to
win three next week at Michigan. That’s what we’re shooting for.”
Speed,
in the Red Bull Toyota, battled back from two cut tires to get within striking
distance of Stenhouse, only to fall short by five lengths at the final stripe.
The Manteca, California driver also made up more than 20 positions inside of 10
laps from the end to earn his second place finish.
“We were
25th with seven laps to go, and finished second,” said Speed, who
was also the Aaron’s Lap Leader of the Race for leading the most laps (39).
“I mean I definitely didn’t make too many friends out there but that was
definitely an epic end to the race. Period. To be honest it was very surprising
to be able to catch the 99 as much as we did. I mean we must have caught him a
second a lap for the last two laps.”
SunTrust
Rookie of the Year contender Tayler Malsam finished a career-best third in the
Dodge Driver Development Dodge.
“I
saw quite a bit from my view in the car,” said Malsam. “Definitely didn’t
expect to finish in the top-three but I sure am glad it worked out the way it
did. I’m hoping for some of the same at Michigan next weekend.”
Malsam
was referring to the final restart with two laps remaining when Justin Lofton,
looking for his career-first win, was positioned second behind Stenhouse with
Robb Brent also in tow. But Lofton’s machine got loose in turn one following a
mad scramble among the top-10 cars on the frontstretch. With Brent hard on the
brakes to avoid Lofton, who eventually spun down into the infield grass, a hole
opened for Malsam and Bobby Gerhart, both of whom charged underneath for
position. Gerhart, in the Lucas Oil Chevrolet, ended up fourth.
“It’s
been kind of a rough start this year, so this finish is especially
gratifying,” said Gerhart. “We were tight all day. I’ve not run as good as
I would have liked to this year and then on top of it, we’ve just been at the
wrong place at the wrong time on several occasions. Either got fed up or been
victimized by other people’s issues.”
Justin
Allgaier, without first, second and fourth gears, somehow finished fifth in the
AG Tech-Hoosier Tire Midwest Chevrolet.
“I
really feel like we let this one slip away,” said Allgaier. “Felt like we
had them covered today but you can’t win on a track you shift on with a broke
transmission. In the end we were fortunate to finish fifth.”
Prior
to his transmission issues, Allgaier posted the Accel Fastest Lap of the Race
after leading 20 laps and was the Klotz Halfway Leader.
SIM
Factory Pole Award winner Speed led the first 12 laps before Allgaier took
control. Once Allgaier got out in front, the Springfield, Illinois driver opened
up a big advantage before giving up the top-spot on lap 29 when he and the rest
of the front-runners came down pit road for first-round pit stops.
When
racing resumed, Bryan Silas and Dexter Bean, both electing not to pit, exchanged
the lead for three laps before Speed reassumed command on lap 33. Speed led up
through lap 47 before giving it up for an unscheduled pit stop to get four new
tires – mainly a left-front, which had gone flat. Then a caution came in the
nick of time for Speed, who was able to stay on the lead lap as a result. Speed
quickly charged back into the lead on lap 53 but gave it up again on lap 65 for
the same problem. Brent then led for a couple laps before Stenhouse emerged as
the final leader on lap 67. Stenhouse then led the final 20 circuits, which
included six overtime laps to accommodate the ARCA-mandated green-white-checker
finish.
Brent,
Bean, Dominick Casola, Michael Phelps and Gabi DiCarlo completed the top-10
respectively.
Speed’s
crew chief Patrick Donahue earned the Cometic Crew Chief of the Race honors.
Brian Kaltreider started 29th and finished 13th to earn
the Casite Hard Charger award.

Rookie Matt Carter Takes Hantz Group 200 at Toledo
TOLEDO OH
(5-18-08) – SunTrust Rookie of the Year leader Matt Carter looked more like an
ARCA RE/MAX Series championship contender Sunday afternoon at Toledo Speedway.
Carter, in
Larry Clement’s no. 46 Hantz Group-NuSouth Lemonade-Stine Seed Ford, survived
several late-race restarts including a one-lap dash to the checkered flag to win
the grueling Hantz Group 200 by Federated Car Care, becoming the seventh
different winner in as many races this season.
“What a
great day all around for this team,” said Carter. “We were absolutely
horrible yesterday in practice and qualifying, but the team dug down and fixed
up a really good handling car for the race today. All the guys that raced me for
the lead raced me really clean, and it certainly could have gone the other way
considering all those restarts that close to the end. Just want to thank my dad
(Travis Carter), my sponsors and my car owner Larry Clement for the
opportunity.”
After
Carter fought off Dexter Bean over the course of six restarts inside of 50 laps
from the finish, Carter refused a last-lap challenge from Patrick Sheltra to
earn his career-first series victory in only his seventh start.
Sheltra, in
the no. 60 Ferguson Pipe-FloraGanics Chevrolet, had a fender inside of Carter
coming to the checkered flag and fell short by less than a length to finish a
career-best second.
“I
tried to race everybody clean and I think I did,” said Sheltra. “If I was in
that same situation, I would hope that they would race me the same way. I went
over and congratulated everyone that raced me clean. It’s fun to be a part of
the ARCA RE/MAX Series and I am thankful to all of my sponsors, friends and
family for their enormous support. I am so proud of everyone on this
operation.”
Bean,
after leading 37 laps in the no. 37 Glock Chevrolet, finished third on the heels
of Sheltra. Bean, who started 21st, also earned the Casite Hard
Charger Award and the Klotz Halfway Leader Award.
“We
were doing a rain dance there for a while,” said Bean, who was leading the
race on lap 106 when it was red-flagged for rain showers. “Later, we had a
really good car on the restarts. I think we were getting through the gears a
little bit better than the 46 but being pinched up on the corners there ate our
tires away. It’s disappointing but we’ll take this finish for the Glock
Chevrolet.”
Justin
Allgaier battled back from two laps down to finish fourth in the no. 16 Hoosier
Tire Midwest-AG Tech Chevrolet.
“We
got down two laps so I’m just glad that we were able to recover from that,”
said Allgaier. “The best part of this finish is breaking the bad luck streak
that we have been having these last couple of weeks.”
David
Ragan, an ARCA RE/MAX Series veteran who traveled to Toledo Speedway after
racing in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series on Saturday night, finished fifth in the
no. 39 Roulo Brothers BeavEx-Reliance Tools Ford.
“Our
car was pretty fast all day long,” said Ragan. “We needed some more green
flag racing there at the end and I think that if that weather wouldn’t have
come along it would have been different. The best car didn’t win today but
that’s why there’s another race sometime down the road. I’m disappointed
but I really can’t complain. Anytime that you can finish a race fifth with all
four fenders on the car, you have to be happy. I need to thank everyone on this
BeavEx-Reliance Tools Roulo Brothers Ford.”
The
race, during which six drivers exchanged the lead 11 times, was extended by four
laps to accommodate the ARCA-mandated green flag finish. Few cars left unscathed
as 18 cautions waved for 114 laps, some of which were run to help dry off the
track from persistent rain showers that plagued the race most of the way. The
race was also red flagged for nearly two hours because heavy downpours.
In
all, Carter led the most laps (68) earning the Aaron’s Lap Leader Award as
well as the SunTrust Rookie of the Race honors.
Andy
Hanson, in his career-first series start, earned the SIM Factory Pole Award with
a new one-lap track record averaging 113.272 mph. The Ramsey Minnesota driver,
who finished eighth in the race, also posted the quickest lap during the race
earning the Accel Fastest Lap Award. Hanson’s crew chief Mike Chaffee earned
the Cometic Crew Chief of the Race Award.
Scott
Speed finished sixth in the No. 2 Red Bull Toyota, followed by Ricky Stenhouse,
Jr., Hanson, Ken Schrader and Tom Hessert III.

SPARTA
KY (5-10-08) – SunTrust Rookie of the Year contender Ricky Stenhouse, Jr., in
the No. 99 RoushFenway.com Ford, got the best of Scott Speed over the course of
three late-race restarts to earn his career first ARCA RE/MAX Series victory in
only his sixth series start Saturday night at Kentucky Speedway.
The
Olive Branch, Mississippi driver not only left with the top trophy, he also left
with the point lead by a slim five point margin over Frank Kimmel.
“I
don’t know if it has really sunk in yet,” said Stenhouse. “I think the win
probably won’t sink in until a little later on. We’ve come out here and have
had good runs and to finally have a win is great. We’re coming towards the end
of a long stretch of races and so hopefully after winning here we can do well at
Toledo and go off on a high point before taking a few weekends off. The Roush
Fenway Ford Fusion and the Roush Yates engines are awesome. We could pull up
next to someone and just keep going. I’ve actually been struggling really bad
on the restarts until those last few. The thing that really helped was nailing
those restarts.”
Speed,
who led 55 of 112 laps in the Red Bull Toyota, had a 10-length advantage over
the field with less than 10 laps remaining before a series of late-race wrecks
bunched the field up time and time again. Speed survived the first
green-white-checkered restart, but not the second during which Stenhouse got a
run and blew by on the outside. Speed would get one more chance to get the lead
back on the final restart, but to no avail. Stenhouse held firm and cruised
under the checkered flag .374 seconds in front of Speed, who finished second.
Surrey
British Columbia driver Ryan Fischer battled back from an early-race spin to
finish a career-best third in the Venturini Motorsports-TufTruckdirect.com
Chevrolet. Fischer’s crew chief Billy Venturini earned the Cometic Crew Chief
of the Race award as a result.
Speed’s
teammate Ken Butler III, who started 20th, finished fourth in the
Aaron’s Lucky Dog Dream Machine Toyota earning the Casite Hard Charger award.
John Wes Townley finished fifth in the Zaxby’s-SPS-BB&T Ford.
Rookie
Sean Caisse, in his first series start, was impressive earning the SIM Factory
Pole Award and leading the first seven laps before Bill Davis Racing’s Michael
Annett took control of the top-spot on lap eight. Annett led up through lap 31
before rookie Jake Francis marched his way into the lead on lap 39. Francis led
the next 13 circuits before Speed, fresh from his one and only pit stop, passed
Francis for the lead on lap 52. From there, Speed kept the field at bay, leading
the way up through lap 106 before Stenhouse took control for good.
The
race was extended 12 laps to accommodate the ARCA-mandated rule that no race can
finish under caution. Ten cautions slowed the race for 55 laps for a variety of
incidents. Despite all the cautions, only five cars were listed as
‘accidents’ on the final result sheet. There were no injuries.
The
late-race restarts also played havoc with teams’ fuel mileage plans. Tom
Hessert III was running third coming to the final restart when his Maaco Auto
Painting Ford ran out of gas. Speed’s fuel tank also went bone-dry as the
Manteca, California driver crossed under the checkered flag after stretching his
final run 84 laps.
Stenhouse
also earned the SunTrust Highest Finishing Rookie of the Race honors while Speed
was credited with the Aaron’s Lap Leader award for leading the most laps.
Francis was the Klotz Halfway Leader. Caisse posted the Accel Fastest Lap of the
Race.

Rookie Joey Logano Conquers Rockingham in Career-First ARCA RE/MAX Series Attempt
ROCKINGHAM
NC (5-4-08) – Most say that Rockingham Speedway is one of the toughest, most
challenging tracks on anyone’s tour. However, someone forgot to tell ARCA
RE/MAX Series rookie Joey Logano, who made his victory in Sunday’s Carolina
500 look simple.
Logano, in
the no. 25 Venturini Motorsports-prepared Joe Gibbs Racing Oil-Gresham &
Associates Chevrolet, led 257 of 312 laps to conquer the “Rock” in his
career-first ARCA RE/MAX Series start. Logano also earned the Aaron’s Lap
Leader award for leading the most laps.
“I
have to thank the Joe Gibbs crew for pitting me,” said Logano. “They kept me
out front. We’re going to get a shot at Dover coming up, and hopefully we’ll
see victory lane there too. I wasn’t running flat out the whole race. You’ve
got to pace yourself. That’s a really big deal here at The Rock.”
Outside of
a late-race wrestling match with Ken Schrader and mid-race battle with Michael
Annett and Matt Hawkins, Logano had nary a challenger during the 500
kilometer/312-mile race.
With only
five drivers on the left on the lead lap, Logano pitted for fresh tires 10 laps
from the finish. Logano, who restarted fourth, was leading before the field
completed one lap. From there, the Middletown, Connecticut driver pulled away by
more than four seconds over Schrader, who finished second in his own no. 52 Four
Winds Motorhomes Dodge.
“I
would have loved to have won but it’s neat to see the fastest car win a race
and that’s what happened today,” said Schrader. “I have to thank Johnny
Benson who came out here and practiced the car for us on Friday. It was good. We
just didn’t have anything for [Joey] Logano. We didn’t pit for tires at the
very end there because we didn’t have any tires, but even if we did, we
probably wouldn’t have pitted. We’re low budget so if there is an
opportunity to cut costs anywhere, we do it.”
Schrader,
who started 31st, also earned the Casite Hard Charger award for
advancing the most positions.
Roush
Fenway Racing’s Ricky Stenhouse, Jr., the only other driver who pitted with
Logano during that final stop, finished third.
“All
of the guys had great pit stops,” said Stenhouse. “Lumpy left us a set of
tires for the end and that was good pit strategy. I just can’t thank these
guys enough. It was a blast. You go back to sprint car days, you just come in
put a right rear on and it just lights the thing up.”
Stenhouse,
who moved to third in championship points, was also the SunTrust Highest
Finishing Rookie.
Hawkins,
in the JaniKing-Black’s Tire Dodge, finished fourth. Annett, in the Bill Davis
Racing Pilot Travel Centers Toyota, finished fifth, the last driver on the lead
lap.
At one
point, Logano had lapped the entire 50-car field with the exception of the
second place driver. Only varying pit stop sequences and the Aaron’s Lucky Dog
award got more machines back on the lead lap for the chance to challenge in the
final stages.
Logano, who
earned the SIM Factory Pole Award on Saturday with a new ARCA RE/MAX Series
