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.

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.

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.

Engelmanas Wins Exciting Race @ Michigan

Brooklyn, MI -- The CASCOR THL Truck Series rolled into the Michigan International Speedway on April 3rd, 2012. Last year this race was one of the most competitive races of the year. Would it match last years exciting race? Or is there anyway it could be better?

Kyle Young and Mike Husby made up the front row and led the field to the green flag. The race started off just as excitingly as it had last year, with Pete Engelmanas making it three wide for the lead in turn one lap 1 and made it stick, holding onto the lead off turn two.

Brooklyn, MI -- The CASCOR SuperCup Series returned to action at the Michigan International Speedway on April 2nd, 2012. Wesley Hoag and Julian Madore made up the front row and led the field down to the green flag.

Madore took the lead in turn one, lap 1 before the caution flew for a spinning Robert Hill in turn 1. Two more cautions would fly with a long 49 lap green flag run in the middle of the race setup a thirteen lap shootout for the win to end the race.

Mike Husby and Wesley Hoag led the field back to the restart. Hoag got a good restart taking the lead in turn 1. Husby managed to take the lead back with 8 laps to go. But Hoag would take it back the next lap, Matt Riley would also attempt to take the lead in turn 1 that same lap but came up short.

Husby and Riley duked it out behind race leader Hoag but in doing so lost too much time to Hoag as Hoag won the race at the flag.

Afterwards some drivers protested the victory due to connection issues with the #38 car of Hoag, and as a result the win was given to Matt Riley for his first ever SuperCup Series win. Mike Husby finishes 2nd, Andrew Hayes 3rd, Julian Madore 4th and Wesley Hoag rounded out the top 5, being placed the last car on the lead lap. Bertus De Jong and Robert Hill rounded out the finishing order in 6th and 7th place respectively.

Guaranteeing a new winner this time around in the THL Truck Series at Talladega.

Mike Husby started on the pole again with Andrew Hayes starting alongside. Two early cautions slowed the pace of the race, but green flag racing once again finished out the race in usual Truck Series fashion.

There would only be one green flag pit stop that took place on lap 27 as most of the leaders came down pit road for a splash of gas. Pete Engelmanas won the race off pit road followed by Brent Sweet, Curtis James, Mike Husby and Andrew Hayes the top 5.

Engelmanas continued to lead the field until the white flag lap where Curtis James and Brent Sweet pushed by on the outside to take the lead. Engelmanas gave it one last shot going into the tri-oval as his lag sent Brent Sweet spinning.

Talladega, AL -- The CASCOR SuperCup Series returned to Super Speedway racing at Talladega Superspeedway on March 26th, 2012. But would we see another exciting race, like we saw at Daytona? Or would this race fall short of expectations?

Julian Madore took his 2nd SuperCup Series pole (which was also his 2nd pole at Talladega) with Mike Husby starting on his outside to make up the front row.

Madore jumped out to the early lead at the drop of the green flag and led the first sixteen laps before green flag pit stops took place on lap 17. Madore had issues getting up to speed and fell back out of the draft due to first gear being too slow to get up to speed.

As the field cycled back around, Pete Engelmanas was scored as the leader. Shortly after Tyler Tucker took over the lead the next lap.

The lead swapped nine times between 6 drivers over the course of the race. Two more green flag pit stops would take place before the first and only caution of the night came out on lap 47 for a transmission failure by Tyler Tucker.

Several drivers that were caught a lap down because of green flag pit stops were able to be waved around under this caution period and got back on the lead lap. With all drivers now on the lead lap it was any ones race to win.

Pete Engelmanas and Wesley Hoag led the field back to the green flag with 4 laps to go. Engelmanas would hold off the hard charging field behind, as Brent Sweet and Bertus De Jong tried to do something to take the lead but came up short.

Engelmanas wins his 2nd race of the season. Bertus De Jong ties his career best finish of 2nd, Brent Sweet 3rd, Andrew Hayes 4th and Julian Madore rounded out the top 5.

Brent Sweet Finally Breaks Winless Streak @ Phoenix!

Phoenix, AZ -- Last week the CASCOR Winter Late Model Series made their final stop of the season at the Phoenix International Raceway. Matt Riley was once again absent from the facility but still claimed the championship regardless. For many other drivers though, this would be a time to end the season on a high note, which means good, hard racing and the drivers of the CASCOR Winter Late Model Series didn't dissapoint.

Charli Brown set the fastest time of the night to grab his 7th pole of the season with Mike Husby starting alongside on the front row. The two drivers would battle it out for the first thirty-six laps with Mike Husby taking over the lead on lap 22.

The caution flew for the first time of the night on lap 36 when Bertus De Jong got into Kyle Young off of turn four. All of the leaders would make their way down pit road under this caution for 4 tires and fuel. Charli Brown would take the lead back with a quick pit stop putting him ahead of Mike Husby once again.

Brown and Husby would lead the field back to the green flag with 7 laps to go. Brown would not get a very good restart as Tyler Tucker would look to make it three wide in turn 1 but it wouldn't pay off.

As Brown and Husby raced for position the next lap would get a little more action packed. Both Brown and Husby would get sideways in turns 1 and 2, but Brown would lose control, bringing the caution out for the second time of the night.

Charli Brown and Mike Husby would both make their way down pit road under this caution for fresh tires. As a result of the two leaders having problems, Brent Sweet would take over the lead.

Sweet and Tyler Tucker led the field back to green for a 1 lap shootout. Sweet would hang on to win his first Winter Late Model Series feature of the season and his first win of 2012. Tyler Tuck finished a very close 2nd, Mike Husby battled his way back to 3rd, Charli Brown also moved his way back up to 4th and Kyle Young rounded out the top 5. Wayne Osborne took home 6th and Bertus De Jong rounded out the finishing order in 7th.

The CASCOR Winter Late Model Series was very much a success in the 2011-2012 Winter season. We had very good car counts to start but it seemed like the interest dropped off a little as we entered the second half of the season. CASCOR would like to thank all drivers that participated in the Winter Late Model Series this year and look forward to having a great season in "The High Line" Truck series this year, that will take over the Tuesday time slot for the 2012a season.

Congratulations also goes out to all the winners and to our series champion Matt Riley. See you all at Daytona!

Tucker persists on the outside to take Irwindale win

Irwindale, CA -- As the CASCOR Winter Late Model series rolled into the Irwindale Speedway, the championship had already been decided. However several drivers still had a lot to prove in these final two races. And who would be able to claim victory with Matt Riley seemingly absent from the venue?

The 8 car field would time trial for position, with Justin Collision and Tyler Tucker on the front row. Tyler Tucker would take the lead after Collison led on lap 1. Shortly after, Tucker took the lead, Collison would spin out of turn 2, bringing out the first yellow of the night. Tucker would choose the outside line on the restart, with Andrew Hayes lining up inside as they brought the field down to the restart on lap 8.

Yellow would fly again on lap 11 when Brent Sweet made contact with Kyle Young in turn 1, causing a chain reaction that included Tyler Tucker, Johnny Williams and Bertus De Jong. The restart came on lap 17 with Collison back in the top spot. Andrew Hayes muscled his way back to 2^nd spot, with Bertus De Jong surprisingly in tow, taking the 3^rd position from Kyle Young. Tyler Tucker would take the 4^th spot, just before Kyle Young spun and brought the caution out on lap 28. Mike Husby parked for the evening due to electrical issues (warp).

The entire field would pit under the yellow, with the green flying again on lap 35. Justin Collison would pick the inside lane with Andrew Hayes offering a strong challenge on the outside. Tyler Tucker would then use the high line a few laps later to work his way past Hayes as Brent Sweet followed close behind. The yellow would fly yet again, as Collison spun off of turn 2, not doing any damage in the process. This yellow set up for one of the most exciting finishes in CASCOR history.

Tyler Tucker would lead the field to the green on the outside, with Hayes inside, Sweet 3^rd, and Young 4^th. Hayes would take the lead from Tucker a few laps later, as the field stayed single file.

With 5 laps to go the action really started to heat up. As Tyler Tucker would put pressure on Andrew Hayes, with Brent Sweet a mere 2 car lengths behind. Tucker would again battle on the outside with Hayes. When the white flag was waved, Tucker pulled away by a car length on Hayes going into turn 1. Tucker would gain a slight advantage down the backstretch, with Young applying the pressure for 3^rd.

Tyler Tucker would take the win, with a photo finish for 2^nd and 3^rd. Hayes took 2^nd, with Brent Sweet barely edging out Kyle Young for 3^rd. Young was 4^th, Johnny Williams 5^th,Bertus De Jong 6^th, Justin Collison had a disappointing day in 7^th, and Mike Husby rounded out the field in 8^th.

With 1 race to go in the 2011 CASCOR Winter Late Model series, Matt Riley has already locked up the championship. Positions 2 through 4, however, are only separated by 35 points. Could Brent Sweet finally notch a win in what has been a disappointing year so far? Can Mike Husby hold on to 2^nd place in the standings while a hard charging Justin Collison looks to take the maiden spot? We will find out in the last race of the season, the Casino Arizona 50 at Phoenix International Raceway.
