Although his driving days have ended, car owner Bobby Sears is still a weekly
fixture at New Smyrna Speedway. Sears will turn 71 later this year and he
shows no signs of slowing down as his race team has already scored several
wins in both the Super Late Model and Pro Late Model divisions with new driver
Brad May.
After week five of NASCAR Whelen All-American Series action was rained out
just after hot laps concluded last week, New Smyrna Speedway is hoping for
better weather this Saturday night as week six of the season will feature
action in the Super Late Model, Sportsman, Modified and Bomber classes.
Although some chilly World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing-type weather is
on tap for Saturday night, expect plenty of red-hot racing for week number
three of the NASCAR Whelen All-American Racing Series at New Smyrna Speedway.
The Super Late Models will be in action for 50 laps and $1200 to win along
with the Super Stocks, Sunshine Seamless Gutters Mini Stocks and the Bombers.
One driver looking to turn his luck around in the Super Late Model division
will be veteran David Rogers of Orlando as he begins his 42nd year behind the
wheel of a stock car. For the first time in recent memory, Rogers was winless
in 2014 and he wants to end that streak as quickly as possible this season.
As usual, Rogers will have a talent-laden roster to contend with including the
likes of Daniel Keene, Jr., Brad May and possibly Tim Russell who is putting
the finishing touches on a new “hot rod.”
Week number two of the NASCAR Whelen All American Racing Series at New Smyrna
Speedway produced some great racing with a nice crowd enjoying both the
top-notch action and some fantastic weather to go along with it.
For the second week in a row, 19 Sportsman cars signed in to do battle on the
high banks including most of the ones that had been damaged in last week’s big
wreck that claimed over half the field.
Waterbury, VT – Robert Hart, Promoter and Owner of the New Smyrna Speedway (NSS) and Tom Curley, President of the American Canadian Tour (ACT) made a surprise announcement today by scheduling a third event for the ACT Late Model teams.

The American Racer Challenge Cup will take place on Monday and Tuesday, February 16-17, 2015.
