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

May 30, 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 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
11. 8 Jim Nides
12. 88 Larry Hughes
13. 1 Art Kunzeman

Great video as usual, Duke!

Texan Mark Chrudimsky brings the Snowball Derby Modified trophy home to Texas

December 6, 2009

Affectionately called “Wild Man” at his home track – Thunderhill Raceway in Kyle, Texas - Texan Mark Chrudimsky won the rain-shortened 36-lap Asphalt Modified feature at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida, Friday night. The event was part of the prestigious Snowball Derby held at the famed half-mile oval each December.

Chrudimsky is known to win in just about anything and just about anywhere – from school buses to Asphalt Modifieds and from Texas to Florida - and he proved it one more time on Friday.

Chrudimsky went three-wide after starting fourth on the grid to take over second place on the second lap and a lap later took over the lead form Brian Nester until the 15th circuit, when he backed off a bit to conserve his tires. But lap 30 saw the savvy Chrudimsky use a lapped car to position himself to scoot by Nester on the low side to retake the lead for good.

Other Texas who made the show after an arduous qualifying process include Jason Body (15th place), Jason Morman (18th place), John Schultz (27th place) and Tuffy Hudson (30th place).
