Kyle, TX (July 28, 2008) - The start of the always competitive 40-lap ASA A-Line Super Stock feature race at Thunderhill Raceway (Kyle, TX) on Saturday night (July 26) started with Bobby LaFont and Greg Rohmer jumping out front. Chris Birmingham fell into the third position as the top five sorted out single file. As the pack stayed paired off, Clint LaFont got around Rodney Rodriguez for fourth. Caution waved on lap 6 when Brent Reeves and Terry Tschoerner tangled in turn 2. Once back to green, C. Lafont got past Birmingham for third.Coming through the field - like a hot knife through butter - were Keith Garrett and multi-time class champ, Cary Stapp, who was glued to his bumper. As the top three inched away, the Garrett/Stapp duo picked off spots, making their way to the top five by lap 11. As C. LaFont and Rohmer battled for second, the two made contact sending Rohmer around and C. LaFont to the back. On the restart Rodriguez looped in turn 4 bringing the yellow right back out.

The top cars had just started to pull away when Rohmer had the rear axle break on lap 15, sending him around in front of the field. It didn’t take long after the green waved again before Garrett was knocking on the door for the lead. Garrett got alongside and passed by B. LaFont for the lead on lap 19, with Stapp following in his tracks. In the field, Duane Toyne and Tracy Tschoerner had their own personal battle going on for fifth as they swapped the spot.

Up front, it continued to be the Garrett-Stapp show as they pulled away to settle it between themselves. During the fight, the top two had some bumper contact, but Stapp, in a class move, backed off and allowed Garrett to regain control. It came down to a final lap shootout, with Stapp giving Garrett his best move out of turn 2, but he came up a little short, with Garrett hanging on to snag the victory.

Jason Stanley got the point at the start of the 30-lap Thunder Stock feature, while the rest of the field stayed door-to-door. Contact in the battle for second stacked up the field, with Joey Tschoerner getting spun in the back. Under the yellow, Stanley pulled off from the lead with a broken rocker. This handed the lead over to Anthony Gordon for the restart. Gary Chancellor challenged Gordon for the lead as green waved, but Chancellor had Kevin Bowen looking inside him at the same time.

Bowen got inside Chancellor for second, then alongside Gordon for the lead, taking the top spot on lap 12. Chancellor and Jeff Smith got by Gordon on lap 12, with Steve Joyce trying to take fourth from Gordon and making contact, causing a spin for a yellow. Once back to green, the top six broke into three two-car battles as the race wound down. In the final laps, those battles closed up. At the checkers, it was Bowen taking the win.

Richard Fitch and Floyd Reed got by Marcia Moore for fourth and fifth. By lap 5, the Team Aramendia freight train was on the move to the front, led by Homer Pitner. Russell Vickery got the lead away from Weaver on lap 8 as the top three ran nose to tail.

Team Aramendia continued to march forward, putting Mike Farish, then Weaver in their wake. Pitner caught and was looking high on Vickery for the lead, getting past him on lap 18. Once clear of other competitors, James and Carolyn Aramendia started their own little fight for second, running side by side on lap 20. Carolyn got the best of her brother-in-law James for second, while teammate Pitner was taking the checkers.

Once back to green, Jesse Sandoval faded from second, giving way to Tom Johnson, Lalo Leal, Lisa Sandoval and Ozzy Osburn. Mike Knotts, in a borrowed car, worked his way up to a top five spot by lap 5.

Knott then began to challenge L. Sandoval for fourth. Up front Leal caught Merrell for the lead as they ran up into traffic. The two went three wide around a slower car, with Leal getting the point on lap 14. From there, Leal was able to pull away from the field and lap up to fourth on his way to the win.

Carolyn Aramendia takes on the guys at Thunderhill Raceway

July 25, 2008

KYLE, TX - Carolyn Aramendia will be part of Saturday night’s racing action at Thunderhill Raceway (THR) - and she’s ready to tackle her male competitors on the track.

Aramendia is from San Antonio, TX, and drives the #50 white 1993 Ford Crown Victoria in the Grand Stocks, which is an entry-level class at THR. This class boasts 33 registered drivers, six of them female, making for some slim odds for a victory by the “girls.” But Aramendia is beating the odds - claiming three wins so far this year and continuing her lead in the Grand Stock 2008 points’ competition.

Aramendia was under a lot of pressure to maintain her points’ lead during the Grand Stock feature race a couple of weeks ago. She started the 25-lap Grand Stock feature race in the 12th position in a 16-car field. Aramendia fought off some tough challenges from her male counterparts on the track as she worked her way up through the field - including several attempts at outside passes. She finally took the lead on Lap 16 and held on for the win.

So far, most of Aramendia’s male competitors on the track haven’t treated her any differently. “For the most part, I don’t feel there’s a ‘ladies vs. men’ attitude on the track,” commented Aramendia. “Surprisingly, I feel like I’m being treated equally by the guys. They even take the time to congratulate me after a win or make a comment on how well I’ve done in a race.”

Some of Aramendia’s toughest challenges come from two of her Premier Motorsports teammates who also race in the Grand Stock class - Homer Pitner and James Aramendia. Pitner is currently in second place in the points’ race - trailing Aramendia by only 40 points.

Aramendia enjoys being challenged by Pitner. “Although Homer is second in points and is a tough competitor on the track, I feel he races me fairly and I don’t worry about him intentionally taking me out to get ahead in the race.”

James Aramendia - currently running third in points - is not only her teammate, but he’s also Carolyn’s brother-in-law.

“James verbally teases me a lot about taking me out,” said Carolyn. “So that makes him a bit intimidating on the track. I know he supports me in the points’ chase, but I also KNOW that he’d never just hand over a win to me or intentionally take me out. And that makes it all the more exciting.”

Aramendia has also raced against her husband, Joe, several times this year. “I have lots of fun racing against Joe, especially since I hadn’t raced against him prior to this year.”

Joe Aramendia is also part of the Premier Motorsports team, and he normally drives the #79 TSRS Late Model. Brian Moczygemba, Carolyn’s nephew and driver of the #50 TSRS Late Model, rounds out the list of drivers on the team.

Carolyn Aramendia is sponsored by Premier Minerals, Clear Choice Glass, Royal Purple and Aramendia Plumbing. The car owner is Frank Gabrysch. Carolyn is very grateful that her husband, sponsors and team have made it possible for her to race competitively.

Thunderhill Raceway will soon be launching a new campaign - “Women In Racing.” Carolyn Aramendia will be an important part of this campaign that will focus on local women who know all about life in the fast lane. Stay tuned to Thunderhill Raceway’s website (www.thunderhillraceway.com) for more details.

Carolyn Aramendia and the entire Premier Motorsports team will be competing in Saturday night’s (July 26) races at Thunderhill Raceway, starting at 7:00 p.m. The racing action will be highlighted by the return of the TSRS Late Models and the Texas Pro Sedans- along with the Thunderhill Raceway ASA A-Line Super Stocks, Thunder Stocks, Grand Stocks and NasKarts. The ever-popular JRA Kids Bike and Power Wheel races are also on the agenda.

Thunderhill Raceway is a 3/8-mile, asphalt D-shaped oval stock-car race track that’s located at 24801 IH-35, just north of San Marcos (TX) near Yarrington Road (Exit #210). For more information on Thunderhill Raceway, visit the THR website at www.thunderhillraceway.com.

Point leaders tackle tough challenges at Thunderhill Raceway

July 15, 2008

Cary Stapp and Carolyn Aramendia hustle their way to Winner’s Circle

KYLE, TX (July 14, 2008) - Saturday night’s racing action at Thunderhill Raceway (THR) presented some tough challenges to the current point leaders in the local classes - namely, Cary Stapp in the ASA A-Line Super Stocks, Carolyn Aramendia in the Grand Stocks and Joey Tschoerner in the Thunder Stocks.

Cary Stapp (San Marcos, TX) started his feature race in the ninth position. He picked off his competitors one at a time and then managed to grab the lead on Lap 9 of the 40-lap ASA A-Line Super Stock feature race - claiming his fourth feature win of the year. The gap for the lead in the local Super Stock points’ competition has now widened, and Stapp holds a commanding 159 point lead over Duane Toyne (Leander, TX).

Since Thunderhill Raceway is an ASA-sanctioned track, Stapp’s victory may help him regain his lead in the West Region in the ASA Short Track National Championship. Stapp went into Saturday’s race in the second position in the ASA West Region’s point standings, and the national results that will be posted on Tuesday evening (July 15) will include his latest win.

Carolyn Aramendia (San Antonio, TX) has been heading up the points’ competition in the Grand Stock class for several weeks, although her lead is much narrower. Following her victory on Saturday night, Aramendia is currently 40 points ahead of her teammate, Homer Pitner (New Branufels, TX).

Aramendia started the 25-lap Grand Stock feature race in the 12th position. She fought off some tough challenges from her male counterparts on the track as she worked her way up through the field - including several attempts at outside passes. Aramendia finally took the lead on Lap 16 and held on for the win.

A third place finish for Joey Tschoerner (Bartlett, TX) has helped him hold on to his points’ lead in the Thunder Stock class. Tschoerner started his feature race in the ninth position and fought some challenging battles as he advanced through the field. With only three laps to go, he was involved in an incident with Mason Teague (Paige, TX). Teague was sent to the rear, and Tschoerner was able to finish the race in the third position. Tschoerner is currently 25 points ahead of Teague.

Shawn Cannon (Forney, TX) claimed another victory in the Allison Legacy Race Series feature event. He started in the 4th position and took the lead early in the race. Cannon survived several incidents that brought out the caution flag, and he took the checkered flag in the 50-lap race.

Rusty Young (Helotes, TX) started on the outside pole for 20-lap feature race for the Dwarf Car Racing Series of Texas. After the caution flag was thrown on the first lap, Young grabbed the lead and held on for the win.

Lyndon Kirk (Austin, TX) claimed victory in the 20-lap NasKart race - holding off Travis Roberts (Denver, CO) and previous race winner, Mike Steinman (Austin, TX).

Jim Albert (Lockhart, TX) found his way to the THR Winner’s Circle for the fourth time this year in his #31 Pro Truck. Albert’s victory gives him a one-point advantage over Rusty Mirth (Austin, TX). Albert started in the third position and took over the lead early in the race.

The ExpressJet Pro Modified 35-lap feature event topped off the racing program for the night. JC Umscheid (Alvarado,TX) captured his sixth win this season and held on to his points’ lead in the Texas Pro Modified championship chase. After clocking the fastest qualifying time (15.356 seconds), Umscheid started in fourth based on a drawing for position. He took the lead on Lap 14 and finished the race several car lengths ahead of Tuffy Hudson (Ingleside, TX).

The next race scheduled for Thunderhill Raceway will be held on Saturday, July 26, starting at 7:00 p.m. The racing action will be highlighted by the return of the TSRS Late Models and the Texas Pro Sedans- along with the Thunderhill Raceway ASA A-Line Super Stocks, Thunder Stocks, Grand Stocks and NasKarts. The ever-popular JRA Kids Bike and Power Wheel races are also on the agenda.
