May 15th, 2008 Zach Truesdail wins the race and the Spring Season championship at Richmond! - By Charli Brown Zach Truesdail won the True Value/Dart Machinery Modified Series Spring Season championship in style by dominating the SIModified.com 100 Thursday night at the Richmond International Raceway in Richmond, Virginia. Richmond, VA - Owego, New York's Zach Truesdail won his second Spring Season championship Thursday night by dominating the SIModified.com 100 at the Richmond International Raceway, Thursday night. Truesdail led 73 of the race's 100 laps and becomes the first driver to win a championship in two different divisions in the SIModified.com Online Racing Leagues. Acushnet, Massachusetts' Dennis Frates won his first Dart Heads Pole Award of the year in his Lenny Boehler inspired "Ole Blue" machine with a lap time of 22.782 seconds at 118.515 mph and would lead the field to final green flag of the Spring Season. Frates led the first lap before giving way to outside pole sitter Chris Forster, who made his move for the lead as they raced down the backstretch and into turn three. Current point leader and fourth place starter Zach Truesdail followed Chris Forster past Dennis Frates and into the second spot as they raced to turn one to complete lap 4 and made his move under Forster for the lead as the two crossed the Start/Finish line side by side to complete lap 9. The first caution flag of the evening came out on lap 20 for a single car spin involving Jeff Rogers as he spun his Rooms Unlimited machine out of the third positon after getting up into the turn four marbles. Rogers would drive away without any damage as the leaders filed in behind the Chevrolet pace car. Zach Truesdail led the first round of pit stops as Keith Joseph was the only car to stay out to lead a lap for five bonus points. Truesdail's team would get him off pit road first and he would lead the field to the lap 27 restart over Chris Forster, Dennis Frates, Rick Dutra and Mike House. The second caution of the evening came out on lap 34 for Tony Hanbury, who clipped the apron and spun while racing Rick Dutra for the fourth position as they raced off turn four. Under this caution, race leader Zach Truesdail was the only car to stay out while the rest of the field would pit for service. Chris Forster's XtraMart team would get him out first in front of Dennis Frates, Jeff Rogers and Rick Dutra as the field came to the restart on lap 40. Chris Forster's fresher tires immediately showed their advantage as he worked his way under Zach Truesdail for the lead on lap 41 as the two raced down the backstretch and into turn three. Three laps later, Truesdail made his move to retake the lead as he looked under Forster as they raced to turn one and he led to the KING Design Halfway Award on lap 50 over Forster, Dennis Frates, Jeff Rogers and Keith Joseph. The race's third caution came out on lap 60 for a single car spin involving Mike House. House had been running strong in the sixth position and looked to have cut a right rear tire as he spun and backed his Mike's Auto Sales Chevrolet hard into the turn two SAFER Barrier. Fortunately, Mike was okay and gave a wave after receiving a loud cheer from the fans. Truesdail's crew got another chance to show their championship form as the Fastech Motorsports team got their driver in and out of pit road without losing the lead after another round of pit stops. The green flag waved again on lap 66 with Truesdail leading over Chris Forster, Dennis Frates, Keith Joseph and Jeff Rogers. The fourth and final caution of the night came on lap 78 again for Mike House after he spun in nearly the same spot in turn two as he did just 18 laps earlier. House was done for the night after a second hard hit to the turn two wall and ended his night in the infield care center. The entire field hit pit road for the last time and clicked off lap 80 as they crossed the stripe. Chris Forster's XtraMart team would get a small victory in winning the race off pit road after taking just two tires, but True Value/Dart officials declared that he was too fast entering pit road, which handed the lead back to Zach Truesdail and sent Forster to the tail end of the longest line. The fourth and final restart came on lap 84 with Zach Truesdail leading over Dennis Frates, Keith Joseph, Tony Hanbury and Jeff Rogers. Truesdail quietly pulled away and would win over Dennis Frates, Keith Joseph, Chris Forster and Rick Dutra. Sixth through tenth were Tony Hanbury, Mike House and Jeff Rogers. With his victory at Richmond, Zach Truesdail wins the 2008 True Value/Dart Machinery Modified Series Spring Season championship by 54 points over Tony Hanbury, Keith Joseph, Dennis Frates and Rick Dutra.

Third place starter Charli Brown would get under Dutra heading into turn one and follow Coy to the second position as the leaders raced down the back straightaway. The first caution of the night came early and flew on lap 8 when race leader Richie Coy made a rare mistake and spun his Stewart's Root Beer Ford out of the lead as he raced off turn four to complete the eighth lap. As Coy's car came to rest against the inside concrete wall, Charli Brown led the field to the caution flag. Brown headed to pit road for the first round of pit stops while Michael Pares, Jr. stayed out to lead a lap and collect five bonus points.

The race's first restart came on lap 13 with Charli Brown leading over Chris Rogers, Jeff Rogers, Rick Dutra, Michael Pares, Jr. and Richie Coy. Brown led the next five laps before spinning in nearly the same spot as Coy did to bring out the race's second caution on lap 18 and hand the lead to Chris Rogers. Chris Rogers, Michael Pares, Jr. and Jeff Rogers would stay out under this caution while the rest of the field hit pit road for service with Richie Coy winning the race off pit road ahead of Rick Dutra and Charli Brown.

The race's fourth and final caution flew just five laps later on lap 37 for Charli Brown as he spun while trying the high groove in turn three.

Rogers continued to lead to the race's fourth restart on lap 42 over Michael Pares, Jr., Richie Coy, Rick Dutra and Jeff Rogers. Coy began his march back to the front with an inside move on Michael Pares, Jr. for the second spot as the two raced to turn one on lap 52. It would only take him another two laps to make his bid for the lead as he dove under Chris Rogers as they raced off turn four to complete lap 54. Richie Coy led to the Mends Image Halfway Lap over Chris Rogers, Michael Pares, Jr., Jeff Rogers and Rick Dutra. Green flag pit stops would soon be the order of the day and Michael Pares, Jr. pitted his TAS Country Homes Chevrolet from the third positon on lap 84 and was the first of the leaders to hit pit road. Rick Dutra was next to try and hit pit road on lap 85, but missed the pit entrance and had to carefully make his way around to pit on lap 86, costing him valuable time lost to the leader and the fifth position. Race leader Richie Coy and second place Chris Rogers pitted together on lap 92, leaving Jeff Rogers as the last car on the lead lap that had not stopped for service. Jeff Rogers would lead lap 93 while on pit road making his final stop of the race as Richie Coy flashed by the Start/Finish line to retake the lead. Michael Pares, Jr. would be scored second after the round of pit stops with Chris Rogers third, Jeff Rogers fourth and Rick Dutra fifth. Richie Coy would lap the third place car of Chris Rogers with 25 laps to go and lead the rest of the way with only Michael Pares, Jr. as the only other car on the lead lap. Chris Rogers would come home third, followed by Rick Dutra and Jeff Rogers. This week, the Whelen Modified Online Tour heads to the Stafford Motor Speedway for "The Greatest Race in the History of Spring," the CarQuest Tech-Net Spring Sizzler and the final race of the Spring Season.

May 13th, 2008 Matt Riley wins at Waterford while Phil Jacques wins the Spring Season championship. - By Charli Brown Matt Riley won the season finale for the Sunoco SK/SST Modified Series presented by NPGPro.com Tuesday night at the Waterford Speedbowl. Waterford, CT - Matt Riley made a "one-off" appearance in the Sunoco SK/SST Modified Series presented by NPGPro.com at the Waterford Speedbowl Tuesday night and led wire to wire for his first SIModified.com Online Racing Leagues win. Riley was dialing in a new car he was preparing for the Summer Season of racing in the True Value/Dart Machinery Modified Series and won the Earthscapes.cc Pole Award with a lap time of 14.411 seconds at 93.678 mph. While Riley was worried about working the bugs out of his new car, Sunoco SK/SST Modified Series presented by NPGPro.com DRI Standings leader Bobby Ambroceo had other things on his mind. After a rough race at Jennerstown the week before, the rest of the field had closed the gap and the championship based on the new Driver's Rating Index was up for grabs. Unfortunately, Ambroceo's luck had not changed from the previous week. While racing underneath Scott Aldrich for the second spot as the field completed lap number two, the two made contact coming off the fourth turn sending Aldrich into a spin in front of the whole field while Ambroceo would lose more valuable DRI points. Matt Riley continued to lead to the lap 8 restart over Steve Rohner, Jr., Joe Szot, Ed Battaglia and Ryan Curran. The race's second catuion quickly came back out as eighth place driver Jeremy Smith made contact with Rick Underwood as the two raced to turn one on the restart. Underwood would spin as a result of the contact and collect Fred Hill and John Reach. On the lap 14 restart, Riley continued to hold the lead until the race's third caution on lap 19 for Bobby Ambroceo and Scott Aldrich meeting again as the two raced for the ninth and tenth positons off turn four. This incident would end Ambroceo's night and his shot at the Spring Season championship while Aldrich continued on. At the Mends Image Halfway Lap, Matt Riley continued to hold the top spot over Steve Rohner, Jr., Joe Szot, Ed Battaglia and Phil Jacques. But just two laps later both Ed Battaglia and Phil Jacques would spin down the front stretch and out of the top five to bring out the race's fourth caution on lap 27. The green would wave again on lap 32 with Matt Riley continuing to lead over Steve Rohner, Jr., Joe Szot, Fred Hill and Ryan Curran but the caution would quickly come back out two laps later for a two car incident in turn three between Rick Underwood and Jeremy Smith. This incident also collected Steve Rogers, who drove away with no damage. The race's final restart came on lap 40 with Steve Rohner, Jr. making his bid for the lead on Matt Riley as the two leaders raced to turn one. Rohner, Jr. misjudged the corner and ended up high in the turn two marbles losing his chance at the win, while also losing several positions in the process. Matt Riley would hold on to the lead and cruise to the win over Joe Szot, Ryan Curran, Stanton Skelton and Steve Rogers. Sixth through tenth were Rick Underwood, Steve Rohner, Jr., Fred Hill, Scott Aldrich and John Reach. Phil Jacques was disqualified from the fourth finishing position in the final rundown for not answering a penalty for being involved in the lap 27 caution with Ed Battaglia but would still come home with the highest Driver's Rating Index point total earning him the 2008 Sunoco SK/SST Modified Series presented by NPGPro.com Spring Season championship. Jacques' final score of 1.51 would beat Steve Rogers' total of 1.37 over the eight race schedule. This is Jacques' first SIModified.com Online Racing Leagues championship. Ed Battaglia finished third in the final standings with a 1.33 over Bobby Ambroceo and Joe Szot.
