Dange Hanniford

Born to race; it’s the only thing he can remember wanting to do. He was born and raised only minutes from “The Track Too Tough Too Tame”, so it would have been hard to not want to race. He’s been around racing his entire life, traveling to local race tracks with his family since he was six-weeks old.

Dange has an excellent working knowledge of a racecar, along with the driving ability to compete with the best. It’s not often that you find that in a driver these days. Dange has taken the old-school approach to racing, working his way from the bottom to the top, learning not only how to drive, but also how to build and maintain his cars along the way.

2006 He received an offer to run a limited schedule in the Hooters Pro Cup series for a southern division team. After qualifying for the Championship, Dange signed on to run for the Hooter Pro Cup Championship with NASCAR Busch team, Mac Hill Motorsports in the #65s Chevy Monte Carlo SS and finish 2 points short of the Rookie of the Year.

In 2007, Hanniford will run the full schedule in the Southern Hooters Pro Cup division and compete in his first NASCAR Busch series race at Richmond on May 4, 2007.

Morris Paces Record Test Session For Bailey’s 300 At Martinsville

MARTINSVILLE, VA (September 19, 2007) – A record 123 race cars showed up at Martinsville Speedway Wednesday and 122 of them were in Philip Morris’ rearview mirror.

The traditional open test day for the Bailey’s 300 Late Model Stock car race, scheduled for Sept. 30, drew an astounding number of entries to shake their cars down for the biggest NASCAR Late Model Stock race of the year. One-hundred and twenty-three cars were on hand and 113 drivers. Several teams had two cars for the test.

But for the entire day-long session Morris, the defending NASCAR Whelen Weekly Racing Series national champion, posted the quickest speeds of the day.

“We were pretty good,” said defending Bailey’s 300 winner Alex Yontz. “But Philip was by far the quickest.”

Yontz’ sentiment was echoed by just about every other driver in the garage area on a day that the garage was packed with Late Model Stock cars from up and down the Eastern Seaboard.

Close on Morris’ tail was Wayne Ramsey of Amherst, VA, the polesitter for last year’s race, Frank Deiny, a former Bailey’s 300 winner and 16-year-old Matt DiBenedetto, making his first laps around the difficult half-mile track.

“We were OK. We learned a lot,” the Hickory NC, teenager said. “It’s a different race track, that’s for sure.”

Deiny, making only his third or fourth Late Model start this season, was strong off the truck and didn’t even put in a full day’s work.
“We were good,” said Deiny. “I’ve never quit up here at 1:30 before and I quit at 1:30 today. I quit before anybody figured out I was fast.”

Timothy Peters, who won the Bailey’s 300 two years ago, broke out a new car for Wednesday’s test and wound up struggling a good portion of the day.

“We’ve got the new-car blues,” said Peters. “We’re pretty happy, though, for it being a new car. Nothing real bad is wrong with the car. We’ve just got to find the sweet spot.”

The Bailey’s 300 is scheduled for Sunday, September 30^th, with practice and time trials the day before.

Tickets for the Bailey’s 300 are $20 for adults, children 6-12 $5 and under 6 free. Tickets may be purchased by calling 877.RACE.TIX or by visiting www.racetickets.com online.

Goodyear Kicks Off Two-Day Car of Tomorrow Test At DIS In Preparation For 50^th Running Of The Daytona 500

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., -- The future arrived at Daytona International Speedway on Tuesday as Goodyear kicked off a two-day Car of Tomorrow tire test with five NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series teams in preparation for the historic 50^th running of the Daytona 500 on Sunday, Feb. 17.

Drivers that participating in the test include Denny Hamlin (Joe Gibbs Racing), 2007 Daytona 500 pole winner David Gilliland (Yates Racing), David Stremme (Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates), Mark Green subbing for Michael Waltrip (Michael Waltrip Racing) and recent NEXTEL Cup Series winner Clint Bowyer (Richard Childress Racing).

The Car of Tomorrow, a five-year project by NASCAR’s Research and Development Center, is designed to be safer, more competitive and cheaper for the race teams.

NASCAR’s next generation race car made its debut in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series earlier this year and was scheduled to be used in 16 races.

It will be utilized on a full-time basis in 2008 and will make its debut at DIS in the 50^th running of the Daytona 500 on Sunday, Feb. 17.

Rain slowed the first day of testing, which Goodyear is using to test different tire compounds and structures. The morning session of the test was rained out but the teams got on the track just after noon. Intermittent rain showers did slow the afternoon session.

“Obviously, it’s a Goodyear tire test for all of us,” Bowyer said. “We’re trying to come here and bring the best tire back that we can and use our input and the information that the guys get from us being on the race track. With the way the weather is, we really need to get out there.”

This isn’t the first time the Car of Tomorrow has been on track at “The World Center of Racing.” Earlier this year during Preseason Thunder testing, Penske drivers Kurt Busch and Ryan Newman shook down their Dodges for a few laps.

Waiting out the rain gave Bowyer more time to reflect on his first career NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series win last weekend in Loudon, N.H., which was also the first race in the 10-race Chase for the NEXTEL Cup.

Bowyer, driving the No. 07 Jack Daniel’s Chevrolet, dominated the 300-lap event leading 222 laps.

“We needed a win,” Bowyer said. “That’s exactly what our race team needed confidence wise and momentum wise. The timing couldn’t have been better, the first race of the Chase.

“Getting things started off on the right foot means so much. I’m very excited to be in the position we’re win. I went into this thing 12^th and now we’re fourth and 15 points out of the lead. It’s unbelievable.”

Bowyer feels confident about his team’s chance entering the remaining races of the Chase for the NEXTEL Cup.

“I told the media coming into these races, my best race tracks are these last 10 races,” Bowyer said. “They are tracks that I’m comfortable with and confident with. Going into them, that means a lot.

“Hopefully we can get us another win or two by the end of the year and compete for this championship. That’s what it’s all about. It’s such a big deal and a huge honor to be part of this Chase. We’re going to have fun with it and push as hard as we can and see where we end up.”

The Goodyear tire test with the Car of Tomorrow continues on Wednesday and is free and open to the public with access to the Oldfield Grandstand through The Daytona 500 Experience motorsports attraction.

NASCAR tickets for the 50^th running of the Daytona 500 and other DIRECTV Speedweeks 2008 events are available online at http://www.racetickets.com or by calling 1-800-PITSHOP.

GROWING THE GRASSROOTS, 35TH RPM PROMOTERS WORKSHOPS

(Edgar, WI, September 17, 2007) Sports of every kind are chasing "The Illusive Fan," and Ben Shields, coauthor of the book of the same name, subtitled "Reinventing Sports in a Crowded Marketplace," will deliver keynote remarks when the Thirty-Fifth Annual RPM Promoters Workshops convene this Fall. Three followup sessions will put his theoretical findings into practical focus. Fifteen additional sessions, covering the breadth of weekly race track operation, emphasizing practical ideas adaptable to any short track, complete the agenda.

The Thirty-Fifth Annual RPM Promoters Workshops Series begins 29 November-1 December, 2007, in Reno, NV, and concludes during Speedweek, February 11-13, 2009, in Lake Mary, FL. The Workshops, produced by Racing Promotion Monthly and presented by K&K Insurance and Hoosier Racing Tire, return this Winter to the Eldorado Hotel Casino, Reno, and the Orlando Marriott Lake Mary, Lake Mary, FL.

Putting Shield's remarks in focus, will be super sport fans, Kevin and Karen Flynn, who will share notes taken at more than 100 different games at as many venues--a paying fans'-eye view of pro and minor league ball and racing, and Jacob Agajanian, who last season packed Irwindale Speedway exclusively using Web media, and will explain how promoters can adapt his techniques to reach the digital generation.

In keeping with Workshops mission, other sessions will discuss, in depth, the day-to-day issues promoters face. Among them: "Ticket and Cash Management." For new promoters: "The Short Track Short Course." Covering sponsorship: "Finding and Keeping Partners." And "Eat, Drink & Be Merry," discussing food and beverage operations. In TechSpec, experts address racing rules and enforcement, the issues surrounding "crate" and "built" engines, and broader chassis and competition tech issues. "Line Up, Brush Up," will discuss scoring. Two more sessions explore pressing current issues--"Hard Surface, Hard Times," and "Digging Dirt" explore why dirt racing is booming and pavement is not. Finally, the "Risky Business Forum" discusses insurance and risk management. Another highlight of the Workshops is the 12 hours of informal networking time scheduled into the agenda.

The meetings are the 94th and 95th produced by Racing Promotion Monthly since 1974. More than 1400 track operators, their employees, and industry leaders attended last year's Workshops. Racing Promotion Monthly, the idea newsletter of auto racing promoters, and the Workshops are produced with the year-round support of K&K Insurance Group, Inc., Hoosier Racing Tire.
