CASCOR is still here!
Charlotte, NC -- The CASCOR Super Cup Series heads to the Charlotte Motor Speedway tonight after a week off. After an exciting start to the season that has seen 3 different winners in 5 races, who will take the checkered flag at the "Beast of the Southeast"?
Daytona International Speedway saw Mike Husby dominate the first half of the race, but as the race wore on Johnny Williams took over the lead with 20 laps to go to win his first CASCOR Super Cup series race of his career.
When the Super Cup series headed to Rockingham, NC, Husby left off when he finished at Daytona once again leading the most laps and taking home the victory this time. David Harvey gave him a run for his money but would come up about half a car length short of the victory.
But since then, David Harvey has shown his muscle and has won the last three races at Chicagoland, New Hampshire and Road America. Will anyone unseat Harvey from continuing his winning streak? Or will he continue to extend his winning streak to 4 after tonights race?
Find out tonight at 8pm est, when action gets underway with the drivers meeting on Team Speak!

Engelmanas Wins 2nd Super Cup Series Championship
Homestead-Miami, FL -- Pete Engelmanas won his 2nd Super Cup Series championship last week. After winning 4 of the 5 Chase races, Engelmanas went on to win the title by 14 points over fellow teammate and team owner Mike Husby. Pete Engelmanas and the #4 Mobil 1 team, started the chase off with a dominating win at Phoenix International Raceway leading all but 1 lap. As the chase went on to the second race at Richmond, Engelmanas once again led the most laps (67) and went on to win. The third race in the chase made it interesting when Engelmanas got caught up in a wreck with Mike Husby and Tyler Tucker, threatening the chances of the #4 team, but prevailed once again with yet another win at Charlotte. North Carolina once again proved to be a race dominated by Pete Engelmanas as he went on to lead 58 of 150 laps and once again won the race. Unfortunately, Homestead would prove to be the kryptonite of the #4 team in the chase, as Engelmanas would wreck out of the race on lap 78. But it would not matter as he was crowned the 2012 CASCOR Super Cup Series champion, for the 2nd season in a row.
CASCOR would like to congratulate Pete Engelmanas and Husby Motorsports on their 2nd consecutive Super Cup Series championship. Dodge won the manufacturers championship for the first time in Super Cup Series history.

Husby Wins on His Roof @ Gateway!
Madison, IL -- Last Tuesday night the CASCOR THL Truck Series made its return to the Gateway International Raceway in Madison, IL. Last years winner Pete Engelmanas was absent from the race this year, which once again would allow for a new winner at the track.
Mike Husby and Curtis James led the field down to the green flag. Not only would they be the fastest two trucks of the night. But Husby and James would put on one of the best races in recent memory, swapping the lead numerous times throughout the event. Brent Sweet, Bertus De Jong, Austin LaPlante and Johnny Williams also took turns leading laps.
The race saw 30 lead changes between 5 drivers as well as 7 cautions for 25 laps. But nothing would prepare anyone for the final run to the checkered flag.
Mike Husby and Brent Sweet led the field down to the restart with 6 laps to go. Husby, Sweet and James would all duke it out for the victory, swapping the lead 2-3 times a lap. But on the final lap of the race going into turn three, Curtis James would make a last attempt at taking the lead. James would slide up into Husby off of turn 4, which sent both drivers sailing through the air. Husby ended up landing on top of Brent Sweet and slid across the start finish line in the lead on his roof.
Bertus De Jong finishes 2nd, Brent Sweet 3rd, Austin LaPlante 4th and Curtis James rounded out the top 5. Robert Hill (6th) and Johnny Williams (7th) rounded out the finishing order.
Next time the THL Truck Series hit the track was last night at the Irwindale Speedway. Stay tuned to find out what happened at Irwindale.
Engelmanas Wins Mountain Dew Southern 150!
Darlington, SC -- Last week the CASCOR SuperCup Series made its return to the track "Too Tough to Tame" Darlington Raceway. Jordan Robson was the defending race winner, but has not run a race in CASCOR this year and was nowhere to be found at the track on Monday night.
Husby Motorsports teammates Pete Engelmanas and Mike Husby took the top two spots in qualifying and led the field down to the green flag.
But the caution flew for the first time in turn two on lap 1 for a spin by Brent Sweet. The first restart of the night came on lap 5, but once again problems would bring the caution right back out again. This time for a multi-car accident that sent Mike Husby flipping over in turn one. All drivers involved, except for Mike Husby were able to continue on.
Five more cautions slowed the action throughout the remainder of the event, but once everything had settled down, the drivers were able to get a long 61 lap green flag run in, allowing for green flag pit stops to take place.
The last caution of the night flew on lap 87, when Curtis James got loose off of turn two. Which would set up a 20 lap run to the finish.
Pete Engelmanas and Andrew Hayes led the field back down to the green flag on lap 92. Engelmanas would hold on to win the Mountain Dew Southern 150. Julian Madore finishes 2nd once again, Andrew Hayes 3rd, Curtis James 4th and Bertus De Jong rounded out the top 5. Austin LaPlante finished 6th, Brent Sweet 7th, Brandon Wilkinson 8th and Mike Husby rounded out the finishing order in 9th.
