I was talking to my partner in North Carolina today and he told me that Concord is hosting a $15,000 to win Super Late Model race in November.

Looks like Casey Smith qualified 13th. Travis Kittleson on the pole

 

 

Pretty good for Casey when you consider 14th and 15th qualifiers aren't too shabby......Bobby Gill and Rich Bickle.

 

 

Good Luck Casey!!

CLAY ROGERS WINS $15,000 ASPHALT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

 

CONCORD, N.C. - Mooresville's Clay Rogers scored the victory in Sunday's $15,000-to-win 250-lap Asphalt World Championship at Concord Motorsport Park.

He overcame early problems with a pair of loose plug wires in scoring the triumph.

 

"This is awesome," said Rogers. "I love racing here and it's good to win at my home track."

 

Pole winner Travis Kittleson, from Merritt Island, Fla., jumped to the early lead and set the pace for the first 62 laps. Ricky Marshall, of Mooresville, drove around Kittleson into the top spot on lap 63.

 

Freddie Query was slowly picking his way forward from his sixth starting spot and moved to second on lap 107. He wasted little time there and drove inside Marshall into the lead five laps later.

 

A lap 114 caution opened the pits and the lead cars chose to make

four-tire stops. Six lead-lap cars, including Rogers, remained on the track with Query's team getting him out first of the cars that pitted in seventh on the track.

 

Rogers had pitted five times in the first 86 laps to attach the loose

plug wires cycling him to the front of the field. By lap 155, Query moved into second spot and started chasing Rogers. The nine-time winner this season was no match for Rogers as he rolled to the win.

 

"I looked in the mirror a lot over those last few laps," said Rogers.

"Nobody is better getting around here than Freddie is. He was good for a few laps after each restart, but then we were able to stretch it out on him after five or six laps. After than it was a matter of driving offensively and not defensively.

 

"We had a rough end to our season, so I'm very happy to get this win tonight."

 

Concord Motorsport Park has been very good to Rogers. In 1999 the speedway presented a triple-crown series where if a late model stock driver could win two of three events, he would earn a $50,000 bonus. Rogers collected that bonus.

 

Concord was also good to Rogers earlier this season when he won the USAR Hooters Pro Cup event at the track. He also has 13 career late model stock victories at the track.

 

"This is the first time I've driven a super late model here," he

continued. "I came out here on Friday and looked like an idiot. These cars are so much quicker than Hooters Cup or late model stock cars. But, my guys just worked hard, gave me a good race car and we were able to win today."

 

Query completed an amazing season at the speedway with a second-place finish. Dean Clattenburg, of Dartmouth, NS, Canada, finished third with Kittleson fourth. Marshall completed the top five.

 

The Asphalt World Championship concludes the 2003 season at Concord Motorsport Park. The speedway wish to express sincere appreciation to fans, drivers, teams, sponsors, officials and its employees for a great season.

 

The 2004 season begins on Saturday, March 27, 2004 with the first Big-10 Series event of the year.

Talked to some friends that went to the race. They only had 1 hour of practice Saturday; he qualified 13th and ran 6th in his heat race. Joe Shear Jr came Saturday night and was on Casey's car and pit box Sunday; they said Casey was incredible fast in Sunday's practice was definetly a top-5 car. When they started the race Casey only ran two laps and pulled it in lost his clutch.
