Carmargo, IL (4-24-09) By Kelly Brown Director of Public
Relations Even though there has been a pause in the OReilly All
Star Circuit of Champions schedule, that doesnt mean that the
talented drivers of the series are taking the weekend off. Many of
the pilots of America's Series spend their off weekends keeping
themselves sharp for their next All Star event by running races at
weekly tracks or with other notable series. Here is an update of how
the All Stars are doing racing outside of the series, making
headlines and gaining notoriety in the racing world, showing they are
true all stars.
*Dale Blaney*
2008 All Star Champion Dale Blaney already has one notch in his belt
with the All Star Series after winning the Spring Nationals at Attica
Raceway, but that doesnt mean he hasnt excelled at other venues
across his native Ohio. Blaney also has a runner-up finish, which he
earned at the weekly race at Attica the week prior to the All Star
event. Also, just last weekend Blaney placed second in a
non-sanctioned race at Fremont Speedway.
*Ryan Bunton*
2009 Rookie-of-the-Year title contender Ryan Bunton has been running
in the Midwest. Just last weekend the young talent ran with the World
of Outlaws at Paducah International Speedway.
*Daron Clayton*
As the second 2009 Rookie-of-the-Year contender, Daron Clayton has
also been trying his hand at other 410 sprint events. Last weekend
the Missouri native made the trip to Paducah International Speedway
to run with the World of Outlaws and made the feature event.
*Randy Hannagan*
One of the busiest drivers with who is running with the All Star
Series, Randy Hannagan has been running a lot of races this year from
Australia to Arizona to Ohio. One of his most notable finishes came a
few months ago at Thunderbowl Raceway in California. After an off
season that had as many twists and turns as an action film, the
Hurricane over came all the off track adversity to win the World of
Outlaws event. Hannagan has been excelling at many tracks across the
U.S. and beyond, for example just last weekend he finished third at
Paducah International Speedway.
*Ryan Myers*
2008 All Star Rookie-of-the-Year Ryan Meyers has been at text book
All Star in 2009, competing in only Americas Series events.
*Daryn Pittman*
2009 Championship point leader Daryn Pittman has already ran 31
A-Main events so far this season. He also began his season in
Australia, before traveling back state side to compete in the Chili
Bowl in Tulsa, Oklahoma. After a win at EastBay in Florida, Pittman
has been spending the majority of his time running across
Pennsylvania and Ohio. Pittman has recorded multiple top-five
finishes at Port Royal Speedway, Williams Grove Speedway, and Lincoln
Speedway.
*Tim Shaffer *
2009 All Star Championship contender Tim Shaffer has been one of the
most successful drivers on the track in 2009. Holding the second
position in the point standings with the All Stars, Shaffer has also
been winning local events in the past few weekends. Prior to the All
Star race at Attica Raceway, Shaffer won a weekly event at the track.
Then just last weekend the Steel City Outlaw won at Freemont
Speedway in Ohio. In 15 A-main events in 2009, Shaffer has already
collected 7 top-five finishes.
*Danny Smith*
Another driver that has had a very busy 2009 is Danny Smith. He began
his 2009 racing in Australia, collecting three top-five finishes
before moving state side. Since then Smith has been running across
the U.S. at various tracks with various series.
*Greg Wilson *
Greg Wilson started 2009 at the Chili Bowl, but since then he has
been racing a little closer to home. Since spring has made an
appearance in the Mid-West, Wilson has been running at tracks
throughout Ohio. The former All Star Champion has finished in the
top-three every time he has taken the Green Flag at Attica Raceway. A
few weekends ago he also added a second place finish at
LimalandMotorsportsPark to his 2009 racing resume.
*Brandon Wimmer*
Brandon Wimmer may have had a tough race with the All Stars at Attica
Raceway, but last weekend he redeemed himself by charging through the
field at Fremont Speedway. In the main event Wimmer would pick up ten
positions in the first 15 laps. The car lost its handle a little bit,
but Wimmer was able to hold on for an eighth place finish. Wimmer
plans to continue this off weekend warm ups by running at Fremont and
Attica in Ohio, before rejoining the All Stars in Pennsylvania.
Dont miss out on a minute of All Star Racing action when the series
resumes its schedule in Pennsylvania running at Williams Grove
Speedway on May 1st and Lincoln Speedway on May 2nd. For the most up
