Alger, WA - The Coach Corral Season Championships at Skagit Speedway capped off an exciting 2008. Barry Martinez won his second career championship in the Yourgreengoods.com Outlaw 410 Sprints. Colton Heath jumped to the lead on the outset of the 25 lap feature, racing to a solid advantage as the laps clipped by quickly. All looked to be well in hand for Heath until something went sour in the Oudman Motorsports #7o, ending his evening and his run at the points leader Martinez. Travis Rutz inherited the lead in his Rudeen Racing #26 after getting by Martinez on lap 13, and went on to take the checkered flags first to cap off a successful 2008 campaign. Martinez brought home his Artisan Homes #66 second to secure his second career title, capping off an extraordinary points battle between himself and Heath. Eric Fisher ended his rookie campaign by finishing the main third is the JnR Paving #59. Heath won the scramble.

Sep 16, 08 September 16, 2008 - Fred Brownfield Memorial this weekend for ASCS N

September 16, 2008 - September 16, 2008 - Fred Brownfield Memorial this weekend for ASCS Northwest Region

By ASCS Northwest Region Media

The ASCS Northwest Region kicked off its 2008 season in May at Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma, Wash.
The Elma track, once an aging facility, was transformed into one of the country’s Sprint car showplaces four years ago by Fred Brownfield.
This weekend the American Sprint Car Series Northwest Region, a series utilizing rules Brownfield was working towards for Sprint cars in the Northwest, pays tribute to the man with the Fred Brownfield Memorial.
The second annual Fred Brownfield Memorial takes place Friday and Saturday. Gates open at 4:30 p.m. both days, with racing around 6:30. Tickets are $20 each night for adults, $5 for children (ages 6-14) and free for children 5 and under. Two-day adult tickets are $39.
In honor of Brownfield, a former racer who drove a No. 92 sprinter, Saturday’s winner will take home $10,092. The event pays $492 to start Saturday’s A-Main.
Last year’s first annual event was scheduled to take place during July’s Northwest Speedweek, but rain pushed things back to September.
The unfortunate weather turned out to be a blessing in some ways, as drivers around the country who were locked in track points battles in July were looking for somewhere to race in mid-September.
Such is the case again this year, as some of the Northwest’s top Sprint car drivers like ASCS Northwest Region points leader Jared Ridge, 2008 Dirt Cup champion Jayme Barnes, 2008 Northwest Speedweek champion Roger Crockett and seven-time GHR Sprint car track champion Jay Cole take on some of the top drivers from around the country.
That list includes 2008 360 Knoxville Nationals champion Wayne Johnson and Knoxville regulars Natalie Sather and Joe Beaver – the latter of whom just happens to be married to Brownfield’s niece.
Also expected to be on hand is Shane Stewart, who dominated Sprint car racing in the Northwest last summer while driving the Doyle’s Harley-Davidson car that he’ll be piloting this weekend.
Stewart is the defending Fred Brownfield Memorial champion, having swept last year’s event in Elma.
This is the penultimate weekend of racing for the ASCS Northwest Region. The 2008 season concludes with a Sept. 26-27 at the Yakima Dirt Track in Yakima, Wash.
Heading into Elma, Ridge leads the standings with 1,078 points. Brock Lemley and Barnes are tied for second with 1,046 points while Crockett is fourth with 1,022. Cole rounds out the top five with 990 points.

(Alger, WA) 8/27/08 by Kelly Hart

Meyers; who began his career racing with the Sprint Cars in California has also competed in past Dirt Cups. Neither has a big race win at Skagit Speedway to their credit. Meyers sits second in WoO point standings, with 8 wins and a series leading 8 fast times to his credit.

Some local drivers with aspirations to defeat the Outlaws on their home track include Jason Solwold who race full time with the WoO the last few years and this years Dirt Cup Champion Jayme Barnes. Travis Rutz driving for the Rudeen Racing team figures to contend. And former Dirt Cup and 360 Nationals champion Shane Stewart is driving for the Dennis Roth – Beef Packers #83 car which has plenty of big race wins at Skagit Speedway under their belt.

With teams and drivers settling into the Skagit Speedway area, track crews are hard at work preparing the 8100 seat facility for the biggest crowds, and the biggest race of the season. Skagit Speedway is ready for “The Greatest Show on Dirt” and putting their best foot forward for the weekend.

ENGBERG WINS NIGHT ONE OF 360 NATIONALS

(Alger, WA) 8/1/08 by Kelly Hart

   When the night was done, the final main event of the evening saw Burlington, WA driver Nick Engberg in winners circle at the end of the 30-lap main. Point standings have Engberg in the top six, with Travis Rutz, Seth Bergman, Cory Chamberlain, Danny Kirkpatrick and Rick Fauver. They will scramble for the first three row starting positions in Saturday nights feature event during the Bob’s Burgers and Brew 360 Nationals.
   At the drop of the green flag, Josh DeWitt flew to a nice advantage over the field with Willie Croft and Engberg in tow. The first caution flew on lap 2 with a few cars collected up in turn 3. On the restart DeWitt again took off this time opening a nice advantage over the field. A great battle was ensuing back in sixth and seventh place between Danielle Huson and Travis Rutz in the 9th thru 11th laps. On the thirteenth lap the yellow flag came out for Colton Heath and Cameron Smith coming off turn two. Disaster befell the leader as his header and muffler came off causing a mechanical black flag and sending him to the work area. That handed the lead to Croft.
   Croft led the 14th lap before Engberg flew under Croft and took over the lead. The yellow came out again on lap 17 for Dirt Cup champion Jayme Barnes flat left rear tire. Another yellow flew on lap 19 when Jason Bloodgood went sour in turn four. Once again with Engberg comfortably out front, all eyes were on another great battle between Huson and Rutz. Danny Kirkpatrick had passed Croft for second and was comfortably in front of Huson and Rutz. As Rutz finally got past Huson for 3rd, Huson lost a motor on the front stretch bringing out the final caution at the 27th lap. On the restart it was Engberg, Kirkpatrick and Rutz where they would finish the main event.
   The B Main top 5 cars making the A Main via their top 5 transfer were Barnes, Jeff Hodgson, Derek Holmwood, Seth Bergman and Mitch Olson.    The C Main transfer cars into the B Main Michael Harris, Mack Brown, Steve James, Randy Pierce, and Dan Dunlap.
