Husby Rebounds after Speedweeks Disaster @ Las Vegas!

Las Vegas, NV -- The CASCOR SuperCup Series got the "real" season underway at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway last week.

Pete Engelmanas and Mike Husby led the field to the green flag for the inaugural SuperCup Series race at Las Vegas. Engelmanas jumped out to the early lead, but the first caution would fly on lap one for an incident involving Austin LaPlante and David Damboise.

Eight cautions would slow the pace of the race and would involve several top 5 contenders including Pete Engelmanas, Johnny Williams and Brent Sweet throughout the event.

A restart with 10 laps to go would see Mike Husby and Brent Sweet lead the field back to the green flag. Husby would pull away slightly on the restart but Sweet would look to run him back down. Sweet and Julian Madore who had been running in the top 5 all night made contact with 2 laps to go, going into turn three. Sweet was sent spinning and fell to a dismal 6th place finish.

This caution would end the race under the yellow flag as Mike Husby took his first win of the 2012 season at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Julian Madore finishes 2nd, Andrew Hayes 3rd, Wayne Osborne 4th and Chris Swett rounded out the top 5. Brent Sweet salvaged a 6th place finish, David Damboise 7th, newcomer Ryan Spaulding came home 8th, Pete Engelmanas with a torn up car finished 9th and Johnny Williams rounded out the top 10.

Next week the CASCOR SuperCup Series heads back to the paper clip shaped Martinsville Speedway for the first short track race of the season. Will we see another new face in victory lane? Or can Mike Husby repeat at Martinsville? Find out on Monday March 5th, 2012 at 8pm EST, you won't want to miss any of the action!

Kyle Young Wins a Wild One @ Daytona!

Daytona Beach, FL -- The CASCOR THL Truck Series started the 2012 season off two weeks ago at the Daytona International Speedway. And, as always, put on yet another exciting race for Speedweeks 2012.

Pete Engelmanas grabbed the pole, while Austin Penny starting alongside the front row for the Next Era Energy Resources 125 at Daytona.

The race went caution free for the first forty-three laps which included multiple lead changes and some incredibly intense racing. But the caution would come out for a stopped truck on the apron of turn 4. CASCOR officials were not pleased with the driver, as he was asked to park for the remainder of the event.

Pete Engelmanas and Mike Husby led the field back to the green flag with 4 laps to go. Both Engelmanas and Husby would work together until turn 4 coming to take the white flag. Husby dropped low in an attempt to take the lead as Tyler Tucker moved into the middle lane, making it three wide for the race lead going into turn 1.

Carnage would break out as Team RedBull HD teammates (Julian Madore and Chris Swett) in the SuperCup Series got into each other collecting Andrew Hayes in the melee.

As the field raced back to the start/finish line, Kyle Young who had restarted the race in 7th, moved his way up to 3rd and dove under Tyler Tucker to take the lead in turn three. Meanwhile Pete Engelmanas who led the most laps (36) got together with Matt Riley, Bertus De Jong and Austin Penney on the back straightaway.

Four trucks would race back to the checkered flag, but no one would be able to get by Kyle Young as he took his first CASCOR THL Truck Series victory in his first Truck Series start at Daytona. Tyler Tucker would be able to hang on to 2nd, Matt Trace 3rd, Mike Husby 4th and Matt Riley rounded out the top 5. Brent Sweet was caught up in the madness spinning out in turn three on the final lap, but managed to still bring it home 6th, Andrew Hayes 7th, Julian Madore 8th, Pete Engelmanas 9th and Austin Penney rounded out the top 10.

Next time the CASCOR THL Truck Series would take to the track, would be at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Would any of the drivers who had misfortunes be able to rebound at Vegas? Or would we see another first time winner? Find out later today on http://CASCORSimRacing.blogspot.com

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!
