12 Oct 2007

Michael Beard continued on an unprecedented roll at Pageland Dragway in his J/CM 1980 Volare. The Duck Tape Team competed in two eliminators, a Stock/Super Stock Combo and the Mickey Thompson Ironman Club Shootout.

Michael Beard Wins again in South Carolina

Beard knocked off Super Stock racer Bob Earnhardt in the semifinals of the Stock/Super Stock Combo and went on to win the title over Jamie Southards. Beard took the holeshot with a .014 reaction time and a 7.203 on a 7.19 dial-in.

In the Mickey Thomson Ironman event Beard advanced to the final round, but his opponent won by getting the holeshot in his Vega. “I wish I won that one, but our string has been great,” said Beard. “I won the last two points races at Pageland, doubled up at Jackson and was in the gambler’s race at the Bracket Finals when they called it off. After two finals in one night at Pageland I hope I have enough luck left to get the final round we need at Rockingham for the World Championship.”

Beard uses K&N Engineering Products. “We found a winning, quality combination with K&N,” he said. “We used K&N throughout the years. My cars run flawlessly.”

This weekend, Beard will compete in two more Stock/Super Stock Combos, including Roxboro Motorsports Dragway in North Carolina. Beard is the defending champion at Roxboro’s Stock/Super Stock Ironman Classic and remains undefeated there.

It is one of the tightest tracks in the series with twists and turns that tear into machines and riders. Speeds are generally lower and finesse rules the day. Can-Am Warnert Racing’s riders were prepared for the two hour off-road event.

Clifton Beasley faced off with fellow Can Am rider Jerime Dudding as the pair battled each other in 4X4 Lites. The conditions were dry and warm and a track choked with dust shortened visibility. When the dust did settle, Duddding edged out Beasley by seconds to claim his second victory of the season. Beasley already had the points battle won in the 4X4 Lites overall and his second place finish marked his 10th race of the season finishing second or better.

“Our K&N Engineering air filters kept us running despite the dust and provided us with power,” said Levi Michel, Warnert Race Manager. “We get better throttle response all the way through a race.”

Can Am Warnert Racing’s Michale Swift owned the 4X4 Limited class all season long, and was the second team member to lock in a class championship. Swift jumped out to the early lead and continued to dominate the Limited class. He secured his 9th win of the 2007 series.

4X4 Open riders Richard Cecco and Scott Kilby carried the Warnert Racing momentum forward with the largest machines in one of the most competitive classes. The duo combined for a 2nd and 3rd place podium finish. The tight and twisting layout and slower speeds did not favor the big 4X4 machines. Both riders had great rides in conditions that tested them to the limits in their Can Am Outlander 800’s equipped with K&N products.

Cecco had the lead until fellow Can Am rider Bryan Buckhannon passed him for the win. “This provided Warnert Racing with a 4X4 sweep at Yadkinville,” said Michel. “The dirt was so extreme, but K&N kept us running enough to sweep. We like having a filter we can clean.”

The series heads to Powerline Park in Ohio for round 12 on October 13.

UROC Rockcross Championship at Off-Road Expo Another Big Win for Team Lovell

11 Oct 2007

The Lovell Rock Racing Team picked up a big win at the UROC Rockcross in Pomona, California. Brad Lovell beat all the odds at the Off-Road Expo only one week after claiming the XRRA (Xtreme Rock Racing) National Championship.

Lovell teamed up with co-driver Mike Foster for the UROC race. “Mike has a lot of history in off-road racing,” said Lovell. “That history is helping us go faster on the track.”

The pair could not out run bad luck on the first day of racing. During practice the team blew a transmission gasket that they could not repair. To make the day worse, they had a hydraulic failure in the steering system during the qualifying session.

“I didn’t think we were going to make it,” said Lovell. “We felt like we couldn’t keep the truck together. We qualified in second place but we were losing our confidence.”

The Ranger was bleeding transmission fluid and Team Lovell lined up for their first heat race. They tangled with another vehicle and destroyed the steering ram. To make matters worse their long time rival Dean Bulloch won. Lovell and Foster returned to the pit to make repairs for the last-chance race on Sunday morning.

The first last-chance race was against RJ Brown’s 600 hp Toyota. Lovell’s FABTECH Ranger with K&N Engineering products was only a nose behind but first over the rocks. “Sunday was a brand new day for us,” said Lovell. “We won.”

Next up was a race against Jimmy Maybe, the Rockcross number one winner. “Brad was sweating this one,” said Foster. “We both knew Jimmy was fast and if we lost we were done. Both trucks were quick off the line but Lovell took the lead on the rocks and it was off to the finals.”

The finals were unique. Lovell rival Dean Bulloch had not lost a race and had to be beaten twice in order for them to win. When the green flag dropped, Bulloch took a big lead. Lovell and Foster rounded the sweeping bend and found Bulloch slowing to climb a rock face. “We put some pressure on him and he made a bad choice,” said Lovell. “Dean’s truck pushed off the rock and he rolled.” Team Lovell went on to win and had another chance to go for the overall win.

“We have gone against Dean Bulloch for about four years now and he is one of the best,” said Lovell. “I knew he would not make the same mistake again.” The green flag dropped the FABTECH Ranger with K&N Engineering products roared off the line. The trucks raced side by side over the rock and into the dust. The track narrowed and the two rivals came together. Bulloch’s wheel pushed under the Ranger causing a roll. “I felt it lift and instantly knew that nothing else matter except keeping it on the wheels,” said Lovell as he veered to the right to recover and gave the line to Bulloch. “When I came back in the groove, I noticed a good line through the rocks and was able to cut in front of Dean.”

Team Lovell took the lead and both trucks were fast through the next four laps. Lovell and Foster held off every charge and took home the victory.

Team Lovell’s next stop will be the Off-Road Proving Grounds at the SEMA show in Las Vegas, Nevada on October 30 through November 2.
