Video of the entire NASCAR Fiesta Modified feature at Houston Motorsports Park, 5/28/2011

Duke O’Connor (Texas High Def) taped the “Fiesta Mart 50″ featuring the NASCAR Fiesta Modifieds last Saturday evening at Houston Motorsports Park.

This race offered a $3,000.00 “Bounty Bonus” to anyone who could beat a 16 year-old NASCAR Fiesta Modified driver named Zak Hausler “fair and square.” Pay particular attention to the restarts towards the end of the event where challenger Michael Umscheid starts on the outside after Hausler, known around here as the “Zak Attack,” selected the inside lane at the lane selection cone.

Just so you’ll know who’s who, here’s the lineup at the start of the 50-lap event. Enjoy!

1. 91 Zak Hausler
2. 33 Jason Morman
3. 15 Michael Umscheid
4. 39 Mark Chrudimsky
5. 13 Ian Webster
6. 82 David Webster
7. 30 Jake Kruger
8. 2 Heath Stewart
9. 6 Jason Boyd
10. 8 Jim Nides
11. 88 Larry Hughes
12. 1 Art Kunzeman
13. 44 Bubba Naumann

Here’s the Zak Hausler “Bounty Bonus” video from Houston Motorsports Park

Lone Star Speedzone’s Nick Holt and Texas High Def’s Duke O’Connor teamed up again to bring you a very interesting video about the Zak Hausler “Bounty Bonus” in place at Houston Motorsports Park.

Get to know Zak a bit better and check out some of his competition in this video. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as Duke and I did in making it.

Texas High Def video of the NASCAR Fiesta Modified heat race at Houston Motorsports Park on Saturday, May 28, 2011

Here is the video of the NASCAR Fiesta Modified heat race at Houston Motorsports Park on Saturday, May 28, 2011, shot by Texas High Def’s Duke O’Connor.

Since a “Star” was drawn before the feature, there was no invert for the feature, so how they finish in the heat will be how they start the “Fiesta Mart 50″ later in the evening.

This was the line-up for the heat race so you can match their car numbers to what you’re seeing on the screen.

1. 33 Jason Morman
2. 6 Jason Boyd
3. 91 Zak Hausler
4. 13 Ian Webster
5. 15 Michael Umscheid
6. 44 Bubba Naumann
7. 2 Heath Stewart
8. 82 David Webster
9. 39 Mark Chrudimsky
10. 30 Jake Kruger

Great video as usual, Duke!

Jason Johnson is an ASCS Gulf South “Spoiler” at Speedarama

Reigning Lucas Oil ASCS National champion Jason Johnson put an end to Gary Wright’s bid for a perfect Regional weekend by taking the $2,000 triumph in Sunday night’s 25-lap Smiley’s Racing Products ASCS Gulf South main event at the Speedarama Raceway.

With Wright vying for a $1,000 bonus for topping all three nights of the Gulf South’s “Memorial Day Classic”, Johnson played the role of spoiler by picking off his fifth overall ASCS feature win of the season aboard the Don Ott-powered Haynes No. 41 Maxim.

Wright still picked up a $500 bonus for winning two of the weekend’s three feature events.

Pole starter Brandon Berryman paced the initial pair of rounds before fifth-starter Johnson raced into a lead he would never relinquish. Johnson went on to the checkered flag ahead of Michael Dupuy, with Berryman settling for the show position.

Wright crossed the stripe fourth, with reigning series champion Ray Allen Kulhanek in fifth. Kevin Ramey was sixth, with Chris Sweeney, George White, Wes Miller and Brandon Corn completing the top ten.

Kulhanek, Wright, Beau Smith and Berryman won Sunday night’s heat races, with Eric Baldaccini winning the “B” Main.

George White reclaimed the series points lead with his eighth place finish, as Tommy Bryant missed the feature cut for the first time in eleven events this season after entering the night with a slim 6-point advantage.

Gary Wright snares second ASCS Gulf South win in-a-row, this time at Gator

A return to his familiar No. 9 Maxim was apparently just the tonic that Gary Wright needed, as “The Texan” reeled off another win in Saturday night’s 25-lap Smiley’s Racing Products ASCS Gulf South main event at the Gator Motorplex.

It was Wright’s second win of the weekend in the three-race ASCS Gulf South “Memorial Day Classic” and his fifth in just seven starts aboard his own entry thus far in 2011 after just three Regional wins over the course of the entire 2010 season.

With his second $2,000 triumph in as many nights, Wright has already clinched a $500 bonus for the weekend. Another $2,000 triumph in Sunday’s card at Lufkin’s Speedarama Raceway would net Wright $7,000 for the weekend including a $1,000 bonus for a weekend sweep.

In Saturday’s feature, Wright redrew the pole position after a runner-up finish in his heat race and wired the field for his first ASCS win atop Gator Motorplex clay.

Wright was chased to the line by third-starter Jason Johnson, while Friday night absentee Kevin Ramey dropped in to claim a podium finish by taking the show position. Aaron Reutzel was fourth, with Channin Tankersley rounding out the top five.

Scottie McDonald picked up Hard Charger honors by racing from 15th to sixth, with Brandon Corn, Eric Baldaccini, Brandon Berryman and Chris Sweeney completing the top ten.

Heat races for the 30-car field were won by Brandon Corn, Johnson, Reutzel and Tankersley, with McDonald and Baldaccini winning the “B” Mains.

“The Texan” is Tops in ASCS Gulf South Golden Triangle go

Just because he’s being inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame next weekend doesn’t mean that Gary Wright is done winning races. “The Texan” made that evident on Friday night by topping the opening leg of the Smiley’s Racing Products ASCS Gulf South three-night “Memorial Day Classic” at Golden Triangle Raceway Park.

Wright added his 18th overall ASCS Regional win to 127 previous ASCS National triumphs by driving his No. 9 Maxim to victory lane for the fourth in just six 2011 outings aboard his own entry, becoming the first repeat ASCS Gulf South winner of the season through nine events.

While Wright started the feature from the front row outside, it was pole starter Gary Watson leading the opening circuit before Wright took command.

Wright paced the field the rest of the way, taking the checkered flag ahead of fifth-starter Jason Johnson, defending series champion Ray Allen Kulhanek, current Gulf South points leader Tommy Bryant and Michael Dupuy, who earned Hard Charger honors by racing from 15th to round out the top five.

Watson was sixth, with Michael McNeil, John Pate, Wes Miller and George White completing the top ten.

Johnson, Chris Sweeney, Watson and Wright topped heat race action, with Dupuy winning the “B” Main.

The Smiley’s Racing Products ASCS Gulf South “Memorial Day Classic” continues on Saturday night at the Gator Motorplex in Willis, TX, before finishing up at Lufkin’s Speedarama Raceway on Sunday.

With his $2,000 triumph in Friday’s feature, Wright is eligible for a $1,000 bonus if he can pull down wins over each of the next two nights as well.

A very nice “art video” by Duke O’Connor shot at Thunderhill Raceway in May, 2011

Nice work by Duke O’Connor of Texas High Def. Duke has a knack for capturing the spirit of stock car racing from both the people-side and the racing-side.

Umscheid Race Services Live, Interactive Updates from HMP, 5/28/2011

Thanks to Umscheid Race Services, I will be providing live, interactive updates from Houston Motorsports Park this Saturday evening, May 28, 2011 starting around 5:30 p.m.

I do my best to bring you lap-by-lap coverage of the entire racing program, but nothing ever takes the place of being at the track in person. Especially since all the NASCAR Fiesta Modifieds will be gunning for a $3,000 bounty offered to anyone who can beat Zak Hausler fair and square. Hausler has won every Modified feature at the immaculate HMP oval this season.

Your comments and questions during the live blog are always welcome, but please be advised that there will be a delay in seeing your post since I have to manually approve each post.
