Dillon Oliver claims the ASA Late Model Series King's Ransom O'Reilly Auto Parts 300 Presented by Suncoast Plastering today in what could perhaps be the final event ever at Memphis Motorsports Park. Oliver claimed the lead on lap 236 from Josh Hamner and never looked back in route to his second consecutive ASA Late Model Series Challenge Division victory. "We have worked really hard in the seven ASA Late Model Series events we have ran this season," said the new 'King of Short Track' from victory lane. "I was promised I had a specially matched set of tires and that last 200 laps the car was right."

LOVES PARK, Ill. (Sunday, October 25th, 2009) -- Scott Dixon should race more often, as the father of three regulars at the Rockford Speedway outlasted a massive field of 130 cars to collect the final event of the year at the historic facility, the Goblin 250 enduro. Dixon hadn't raced in six years before entering the event, seeking permission from his wife to get back on the track and in his return, the Wisconsin driver made it seem like he had never taken time off. Dixon assumed control with 25 laps remaining, passing Corey Marshall for the top spot, and held Marshall off for the victory. Carolyn Johnson won the Fair Demo Derbies while Greg Elser and Rick Dobbles also collected feature wins.

LOVES PARK, Ill. (Sunday, October 18th, 2009) -- John Paul Odegaard logged a lot of mileage traveling to the Rockford Speedway for this weekend's 18th annual Bahama Bracket Nationals, and for the second consecutive year, the Minnesota driver made it time well spent, finding victory lane in the 50-lap 'A' Bracket main event and collecting a TIKI Torch trophy to commemorate his win. Odegaard started in eighth and quickly worked his way through the field, pushing past Matt Berger as the event approached the halfway point and holding on from there, collecting another October victory at the high-banked quarter mile. In the 'AA' Bracket, Scott Lawver rallied back from a late-race spin to come out on top, fending off Brad Carson for the win.

Jimmie Johnson has done it again. He won the NASCAR Banking 500 Saturday night, extending his lead over teammate Mark Martin to 90 points in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup championship.

Johnson drove away from the field after dicing with teammate Jeff Gordon in the closing laps of the 334-lap race.

It was Johnson's sixth win at Lowe's Motor Speedway and put him another step closer to a fourth consecutive championship, which would be a first in NASCAR history.

Trailing Johnson at the finish line were Matt Kenseth, with his best finish since winning at Auto Club Speedway in February, Kasey Kahne, Gordon, Joey Logano, Clint Bowyer, Casey Mears, Kyle Busch, Martin Truex and Kurt Busch.

Martin had his worst night of the Chase thus far after accidentally hitting the rear of Juan Pablo Montoya's car on a restart. The accident ended Montoya's streak of top-five finishes at four, and relegated Martin to a 17th-place finish. Montoya didn't fare so well. He wound up 35th.
