|
Samsula, Fla. (November 11, 2006) B.J. and the crew headed to New Smyrna Speedway four points in the lead for the Bright House Challenge Super Late Model 50 Championship. And B.J. and the crew went home with the 2006 Championship.
There was no stopping B.J. on his road to his first Championship in quite a few years. B.J. and the crew started out 2006 fighting the car but ended the year with what they say is a perfect car for New Smyrna Speedway.

B.J. wins Race 4 of the Bright House Challenge 50 at New Smyrna Speedway
|
by Jane Smith
Samsula, Fla. (August 12, 2006) Setting fast time and pulling the 7 pill was what B.J. did Saturday night at New Smyrna Speedway in the Bright House Challenge 50. B.J. has come to all four races but his luck just never seemed to be on his side but Saturday night fans saw the ole B.J. we all know and love.
B.J. was the only driver of 15 that went below the 18 second mark on qualifying with a 17.949. The rule is that no more than half the field can be inverted with the 7 pill being the highest inversion. Of course B.J. had to pick the 7 but was not upset and felt he still had a great chance of the win.
B.J. silently worked his way up front and on lap 10, B.J. made a great move when Chad Pierce and David Rogers were going side-by-side for the lead on the backstretch and both had to check-up not to wreck each other. Seeing a good opportunity, B.J. just took the outside and went around them both taking the point. Once B.J. got the point, he never looked back even on restarts.
B.J. went on to take the checkered and his first Bright House Challenge win over Chad Pierce, Bobby Coyle, Sam Watts, and Matt Martin.
Congratulations B.J.!!!!

B.J. has to settle for 19th after battery failure
|
B.J. and the crew headed to Lakeland's USA International for the Sunbelt Bright House 125. B.J. was fast and qualified well. B.J. took his time and when it was right, began to make his move up front. Just as it looked like B.J. was headed to second, the battery in his car went dead. All that work was done in one split second as B.J. had to settle for a 19th place finish on lap 95.
B.J. and the crew will head next to Desoto Super Speedway this Saturday for the All American Challenge Series race. Be sure to stop by and say hello to B.J. and the crew.

B.J. finishes 10th Overall in the 2006 World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing at New Smyrna Speedway
|
B.J. and the crew were extremely happy this year at the World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing. The car came in, no major accident, finishing tenth in overall points.
On Friday night B.J. qualified with the pole but pulled a 10 pill. After much thought, B.J. decided to withdraw from the race and save the racecar for the most important race to B.J. and the crew, the Pete Orr Memorial 100. It is one race that B.J. wants to win the most other than the Governor's Cup run in November of each year.
B.J. raced very little in 2005 and considered himself rusty, but the World Series showed that B.J. is quickly becoming himself again and will be in Winner's Circle a number of times in 2006.
Watch for B.J. and the crew in the Sunbelt Super Late Model Series, at Orlando SpeedWorld, New Smyrna Speedway, and Desoto Super Speedway.
