Earl Gaerte Classic This Saturday at Plymouth Speedway

For immediate release: May 16, 2013

(Plymouth, IN) It's one of the biggest races of the season at Plymouth Speedway and it's happening on Saturday night. The Engine Pro Earl Gaerte Classic will feature the Sprints on Dirt Saturday night. Plymouth Speedway Director of Racing, Matthew Schwartz, indicated that it will be an exciting night of racing. "The Sprints on Dirt, which we call SOD sprints, are a touring series and they race all over Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and even into Canada," said Schwartz. "The cars from all of those states plus Illinois, and maybe some from Tennessee, will come race with the sprint cars. These are the fastest things on dirt! They have big wings, 900 hp and they'll hit over 100 mph every lap."


Shane Stewart

Earl Gaerte was an innovator in short track engines and he designed engines that have been in Indianapolis 500 cars and in the cars that are raced on racetracks each Saturday night across America. He passed away in August 2011, but his memory and innovations live on. Engine Pro presented by Fel-Pro Gaskets is a proud sponsor of this event. Sprint car driver, Shane Stewart, was at Plymouth Speedway Wednesday night for a media event and had a chance to look things over for this weekend's race. Stewart is a native of Oklahoma but has since moved to Indiana to continue his career in the sprint car series. He's quite accomplished having many feature wins under his belt as well as a American Sprint Car Association Championship. Stewart doesn't run with a particular sprint car series full-time but he does occasionally race in the esteemed World of Outlaws series. He will be driving a brand new sprint car this weekend under the ownership of Joe Gaerte. Stewart said it was fitting that he participate in the Earl Gaerte Classic with Gaerte Engines out of Rochester as a sponsor.

Watch for the number 3G as it makes circuits around the track. Stewart is pretty impressed with Plymouth Speedway's new dirt surface. 'They've done a great job with the dirt. They're working hard. I know and I've seen the amount of work that actually goes into preparing a racetrack for a Saturday night," said Stewart. He expects to be part of some great racing Saturday night. "If the track's right, it's wide enough to see two or three-wide racing. The best thing that you could hope for as a dirt track guy is if you can get two grooves. That's the most important thing. If they can make that happen, I think you're going to see a really good race!"

Modifieds and the USAC 600 sprints will also be racing to round out the exciting night of racing. Also on May 18, the 1st Annual Forces Day Poker Run to help sponsor Operation Quiet Comfort and our troops will begin at 11:00am ET at the Woodland Inn in South Bend and end at Plymouth Speedway in Plymouth. You can pick up a pre-registration form at McDaniel's Harley Davidson in South Bend, Kersting's Harley Davidson in Winamac or at the Woodland Inn in South Bend.

The $30 fee includes one rider, a t-shirt and Winged Outlaw Sprints ticket. The $18 fee may be paid at the gate for non-riders. In an effort to support our troops, drop off a donation of white crew socks, gallon-size zip-loc bags, individually packaged toothbrushes and travel size toothpaste. These items will be gathered by the Operation Quiet Comfort volunteers and distributed to soldiers. The gates will open at 4:00pm and racing begins at 7:00pm ET.

Dirt Track Racing at its Best at Plymouth Speedway

For immediate release: May 12, 2013

(Plymouth, Indiana) A cool evening provided for some hot racing at the fastest dirt track in Northern Indiana.A short burst of rain and strong winds came through prior to the start of racing at Plymouth Speedway Saturday night, but the crews were able to get the track optimal for racing and the green flag dropped for heat races shortly after 7:00pm ET.

It was John Rhoades getting the win in the Thunder Stocks A Feature with last week's winner Dennis Freeland finishing in the second spot and Randy Lambert rounding out the top three. Rhoades led all 15 laps in the feature. "The track is getting better," said Rhoades in his post-race interview. "It was fun to race tonight!"

The standings for the rest of the feature were as follows: Ryan Smurdon, Brian Merritt, Kevin Kerlin, Kelly Prater, and Bryce Shidler.

The Modifieds A Feature saw 23 cars in the field. A red flag was thrown on lap two as a gas cap was found in between turns three and four. Track officials found that the #18 car of Chad Clay was missing the gas cap and it was too damaged to be placed back on the car. For safety, Clay was escorted to the pits and his night was done. Seven other cautions littered the race that lasted approximately 28 minutes. In the end, it was Frank Marshall who crossed the start/finish line first to capture his second win - a back-to-back win for the 28M car in the 20-lap feature event. "With this many cars in the field, I'm proud of everyone who had helped me get back-to-back feature wins!" stated Marshall.

The top three finished the same as last week's finishing order. Tommy Beezely II came in second while Adam Williams finished third. The standings for the rest of the field were as follows: Todd Sherman, Josh Lolmaugh, Shawn Scripter, Kyle Yocum, Steven Pena, Adam Thrush, Travis Stemler, Bryane Dickinson, Dillon Nusbaum, Ryan Flagel, Jessica Scroufe, Dan Streeter, Aaron Morey, Curt Spalding, JR Hotovy, Ricky Carmon, Jr., Chad Clay, Steven Hogue, and Bub Roberts.

Only three cars entered the USAC 600 Sprint Restrictors Feature and it was Garrett Saunders winning his second race of the season, followed by Nick Katrakis and Sydney Arnett for second and third places in the caution-free 15-lap feature. "It feels really good to win," stated Saunders. "I couldn't do it without everyone who has helped me this season."

The USAC 600 Sprint Open Feature had a bigger field and only three caution flags flew - all for the #37 of Brad Nichols who spun out for two cautions and hit a tire barrier in between turns three and four. His sprint car got hung up on the three-tire high barrier and had to have assistance to get untangled. Tyler Huffman came up with the win, followed by Billy Cribbs for second and Randy Shilling for third. It was a great race to the end with Huffman and Cribbs in the last three laps, but Huffman saw the checkers first. "Thank you to all of my great sponsors and my family for helping me keep the car running each week," explained Huffman. The rest of the finishing order was as follows: Dawson Stealy, Mike Gass, Courtney Erfurth, Adam Barth, Scott Allison, Brad Nichols, Jerod Glasford, and Eric Saunders.

In the final feature of the evening, it was Joe Hillman who drove away from the field after lap five in the Super Street Feature and never looked back. A handful of cautions for debris and spin-outs created some great restarts, but it didn't phase Hillman. Michael Clark ran to the second place position and Brandon Roundtree crossed the line in third place. "This was my first time at this new dirt track and I got the win!" exclaimed Hillman.

The rest of the finishing order was as follows: Bob McLean, Michael Daugherty, Roger Duszynski, David Short, Mike Hoagland, Dave Fritz, and Bobby Bering, Jr.

May 18th will be the Earl Gaerte Classic at the Plymouth Speedway. The Earl Gaerte Classic SOD Sprint event will feature Modifieds, Sprints, USAC 600 Wing and USAC Restricted 600 Wing cars which will provide the best racing entertainment on Plymouth Speedway's dirt oval.

Another Exciting Weekend of Racing at Plymouth Speedway

For immediate release: May 5, 2013

(Plymouth, IN) You can throw all of the sayings that go into short track racing into Saturday night's racing at Plymouth Speedway.

The Modified feature ended the night on a high note with a green-white-checkered finish. The 22-car field kept the field green until lap 10 when a spin happened in turn one. Cautions then bred cautions – four to be exact with two on restarts – and with three to go, it was a battle to the checkered flag. Frank Marshall won the race with last week's winner, Tommy Beezley II second and Adam Williams taking the third position.

“I thank the fans for coming tonight, because without them this wouldn't be possible,” said Marshall after the 20-lap feature win.

The USAC 600 Restricted Class feature found a woman at the top of the podium for the third time in Plymouth Speedway history. Sydney Arnett took the checkered flag after the 15-lap features where only four yellow flags were waved. Last week's winner, Garrett Saunders finished second and Nick Katrakis claimed third place.

“This just goes to show that girls can do it too!” exclaimed Arnett.

After starting in the second position and finding himself at the back of the pack early in the race, Dennis Freeland took his #3 Thunder Stock to the top of the racetrack in the dry dirt and caught the leaders within a couple of laps. With only two cautions in the 15-lap feature, Freeland finished in the top position when the checkers flew. Randy Lambert pulled in a second place finish while Bryce Shidler took the third spot.

“Yeah, I found that the top worked for me and it got me the win,” Freeland explained.

Dawson Stealy found himself on the top spot of the podium after leading all 20 laps of the USAC 600 Open Feature. The defending champion in this class, Sara Elrod, found herself in third place at the end of the race with Craig Ronk in the second spot. Stealy had a chance to thank his sponsors, family and friends for helping him with his race car.

It was a trip to Victory Lane for David Short in the Super Street 15-lap feature. Nate Payton took second and Bob McLean came in third. Eight cautions plagued this feature with several spin-outs and debris issues. That didn't bother Short though as he nabbed the win. He was excited to be racing and at the track.

“This was my first feature win in 15 years,” Short beamed.

It was a beautiful night for racing and there's still some work to be done to make the track at its optimum for racing. The track techs are working hard to provide the fans and drivers an ideal track and it should be even better for the third week of racing on May 11. Street Stocks, Thunder Cars, Modifieds, USAC 600 Sprints and USAC 6000 Restricted Sprints will be back at it at the fastest dirt track in Northern Indiana.

We're happy to be partnering with Flag International and all of our great sponsors who help bring this racing to you! For a full list of sponsors and upcoming events.
