All cars not in place when the Race Director gives the command to roll the field will be placed at the tail of the field. Anyone that goes back to his/her pit area after the first car rolls will be placed at the tail of the field. If anyone scratches from the field after the official line-up is set, cars will move straight ahead to fill vacant position.

If any start/restart is waved off for any reason after the green flag has been displayed, cars will be placed in their last officially recorded positions for the starts/restarts. All restarts will be double-file with the leader choosing inside or outside lane.
• Yellow Flag: When the yellow flag is displayed, all cars must hold their position. All cars must get single file and stay single file. All cars must slow to a caution pace and bunch up as quickly as safety allows so safety crews can work on track. If a yellow or red flag is thrown before the leader has taken the white flag there will be a green-white-checker-finish, and repeated as necessary until race is complete. Cars will be lined up on the ensuing restart according to how they were officially running during the last completed green flag lap. There will be no racing back to the line, unless the leader has already received the White Flag and the Race Director decides it is safe to. If it is not safe to race back on the last lap there will be a green white checker restart.
• Lucky Dog: At the time the caution comes out, the first car behind the leader 1 lap down will be deemed to be the Lucky Dog (as long as they are not the cause of the yellow). The Lucky Dog will stay in their position throughout the caution period (Lucky Dog may pit if they elect to), until directed to pass the pace car or drop to the tail of the field and have your lap added manually. Lucky Dog must always restart on the tail of the field. No Lucky Dog will be awarded in the last 10 laps of the race.

Lead lap cars will be placed in front of lapped cars under yellow. Restarts will always take place at the discretion of the Official Starter. The Starter will signify “one to go” before the Green Flag will again be displayed. The leader should gradually and steadily increase his pace after the pace car has pulled away. No slowing, weaving, brake checking or decrease in acceleration once the pace car leaves the field. If a green flag lap is not completed before a yellow comes out all cars should go back to their prior position except for any cars that are penalized or cars that pit. Officials, at their discretion, may change to single file restarts at any time. If a driver spins and does not hit anything, he or she gets his position back.
• Red Flag: All cars must stop as quickly and safely as possible when the red flag is displayed. No working on race cars under Red on the track. Pitting under Red will result in 1-lap penalty unless given permission by the Race Director. Drivers can only go to the pits after race officials resume race activities under caution, unless otherwise specified. Must ask for permission for water and/or to get windshield cleaned.
• Black Flag: Cars that receive the black flag must go to pit road immediately. If you do not go to pit road, your scoring will stop until the situation is rectified. Check with your Spotter for guidance from Race Control. Race Director has options when it comes to the leader.
• Blue & Yellow Flag: The blue flag with a diagonal yellow stripe is the courtesy layover flag. Driver is expected to use good judgment when the layover flag is shown.
• White Flag (one lap to go): When the white flag is shown it means the leader has started his/her last lap. This is the only lap in which driver’s race back to the start/finish line if the caution comes out and the Race Director decides it safe to race back. If not a green white checker restart.
• Checkered Flag: When the checker flag is displayed, it means the race has been completed.

Finishing positions will be paid off according to most laps traveled in the least time, regardless of whether the car is running or not.
• Slow Cars: Slow cars must stay on the bottom in the presence of lead lap cars during the race. Lapped cars that create problems for lead lap cars may be penalized.

Xtreme Roval 150 coming to
Salem Speedway Sun., Sept. 29
Front Wheel Drive Compacts & Full-Sized Ford Crown Vics ready for road course adventure

SALEM, Ind. (Sept. 20, 2019) -- The greatest race drivers in the world are arguably those who master the art of road course racing, right- and left-handers connected with high-speed straightaways in between.

Competitors of Salem Speedway Fueled by the Hoosier Lottery will get that opportunity Sunday afternoon, Sept. 29 when the Six Sigma Xtreme Roval 150 comes to town. The event will feature the best of both worlds, as the course utilizes the half-mile, high-banks in turns one and two, portions of the front and back straightaways and a series of left and right turns on the quarter-mile inside oval.

The track layout presents a challenge to both drivers and machines said Salem Speedway General Manager Richard Deaton.

“The Roval road course is a different ballgame.  It demands different techniques, different thinking in both driving and car setup”, said Deaton.

The 2019 edition of the Six Sigma Xtreme Roval 150 features a new longer track layout that features eight turns and two long straightaways.

This year’s event will feature two divisions, including a 100-lap main event for the Front Wheel Drive Compact class and a 50-lap feature for the full-sized Affordable Stock Car Racing Ford Crown Vics.

PNC pit gates open at 9:30 a.m. with spectator gates opening at 11:30. Practice is scheduled to start at 11:30 followed by the first race at 1:30 p.m.

Advance general admission tickets, priced at just $10 for adults and teens, and $3 for children 7-12, are on sale now at SalemSpeedway.com or by calling 812-883-6504 or 888-246-7223.

Ty Gibbs dominates Kentuckiana Ford Dealers ARCA
Fall Classic Hadley wins Great American Stock feature;
Kimmel secures season championship

SALEM, Ind. (Sept. 14, 2019) -- Ty Gibbs, grandson of three-time Super Bowl champion coach Joe Gibbs, must have received some stellar coaching ahead of the Kentuckiana Ford Dealers ARCA Fall Classic. The 17-year-old rookie, in the No. 18 Monster Energy-Terrible Herbst Toyota, led 196 of 200 laps on his way to taking his second career ARCA Menards Series victory Saturday night at Salem Speedway Fueled by the Hoosier Lottery.

Gibbs, who also earned his career-first General Tire Pole award, seemed to be on a rail. The Huntersville, N.C. rookie gave up the lead just once when runner-up finisher Christian Eckes, in a Venturini Motorsports Toyota, beat the Joe Gibbs Racing team off pit road after a four-tire stop. It didn’t matter though as Gibbs charged right back into the lead on the restart and drove away from the competition.

“The car was so good tonight; it would have been hard to lose this one,” said Gibbs. “We only lost the lead once, but I wasn’t worried. The car was so good, I knew we’d get it right back.”

Gibbs’s grandfather Joe Gibbs, also a four-time NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series champion team owner, was on hand for the big show and joined his grandson in victory lane.

Eckes, in the JBL Audio Toyota, not only finished second, but closed the gap in the championship chase with just two races remaining after championship leader Michael Self spent the majority of the race behind the pit wall with mechanical issues. Self, who had a 70-point lead going in, left with a slim five-point advantage over Eckes.

“I hate it for Michael (Self),” said Eckes, of Middletown, N.Y. “He’s a great friend and if we’re going to beat him in the championship, I’d rather do it on the track. We just didn’t have anything for the 18 (Gibbs); he was beating us all the way around the track. We’ll take what we got and go to Lucas Oil (Raceway) and give it our best.”

Marietta, Ga.’s Corey Heim, in the No. 22 Chad Bryant Racing Ford, tied his career-best ARCA finish in third.

“When we bolted on those four fresh General Tires at the end, the car just came alive,” said Heim. “This is definitely the most challenging race track I’ve ever raced on, and I loved every minute of it.”

Munford, Ala.’s Bret Holmes finished fourth ahead of Franklin, Wis.’s Sam Mayer in fifth.

In earlier action, Louisville’s Kyle Hadley held off Sellersburg, Ind.’s Will Kimmel to win the Built Ford Proud 50-lap feature event for the Lucas Oil Great American Stocks. Hadley, in the No. 12 Mr. Heating & Cooling-Holy Smokes BBQ-Pro Tint Chevrolet, capitalized on the misfortunes of Todd Kempf and David Bayens, who tangled battling for the lead just ahead of Hadley. Bayens made contact with the backend of Kempf’s car in turns three and four resulting in both cars spinning. Both Kempf and Bayens were sent to the tail-end for the restart and neither driver was able to get back to battle for the win. Kimmel, by virtue of his second-place finish, clinched the season championship in the Lucas Oil Great American Stock division.

“Our plan was to just get in line and ride tonight,” said Kimmel. “As it turned out, we had to go a little harder than we wanted to, but it all worked out. It’s been a great season; got the pole again, finished second and won the championship. Big thanks to all our guys...we’ve got a lot of hard-working volunteers on this team...thanks to E3 Spark Plugs, T&T Construction, Eddie Gilstrap Motors, Jax Wax and all the sponsors who make it possible.”

Austin Baum (Shepherdsville, Ky.), in the No. 74 Baum’s Racing Supply, B&D Weed Control-Shane Wilson Lawn Care Chevrolet, finished a career-best third. Jamie Goodman, in the No. 75 Wright Mechanical-Turtlefish Clothing Chevrolet, finished a career-best fourth.

Kempf rallied back to finish fifth head of Bayens in sixth.

The next event at Salem Speedway Fueled by the Hoosier Lottery is the Xtreme Roval 150 for the Front-Wheel Drive Compacts and the full-sized Crown Vics Sunday afternoon, Sept. 29.

BAYENS, DROOK COME HOME WINNERS
IN SATURDAY ACTION AT SALEM

SALEM, Ind. (Aug. 24, 2019) -- Borden, Indiana’s David Bayens held off the non-stop hard charge from Owensboro, Kentucky’s Heath Helton to win the Lucas Oil Great American Stock 50-lap main event Saturday night at Salem Speedway Fueled by the Hoosier Lottery, his first of the 2019 season.

It didn’t hurt that Bayens started from the pole in his No. 32 Gilliatt Construction-Skyline Chili-Shane Wilson Lawn Care Chevrolet.

“Oh yeah it makes all the difference here,” said Bayens, who never once gave up the lead. “You’re racing against the best street stock racers in the country every week at Salem.”

Halfway through the feature, Helton caught Bayens but couldn’t find a way around the eventual winner. With laps winding down, Bayens rallied and pulled away by 10 lengths to earn his 31^st career feature win at Salem, second on the all-time win list.

“We just kept hitting our marks...backed off a little to save our tires so we’d have enough to work with in the end. We won the Halloween 200 last year, but this is the first regular show I’ve won in a long time. It almost feels better than winning the Halloween.”

In the end, Helton, not only lost contact with Bayens, he did all he could do to hold off Kyle Hadley for second. An on-track incident early on sent Hadley to pit road with a flat tire. He rejoined the field from the tail-end and charged back through the pack to battle the leaders in closing laps. Hadley finished third hot on the heels of Helton, who held on for second.

Brandon Deckard finished fourth, his second consecutive top-five finish. Veteran Tony Conway finished fifth, giving car owner Tim Sebastian finishes of first and fifth.

Matt Stice held off Will Kimmel to finish sixth.

Kimmel was the fast-qualifier for the fifth straight show but made two unscheduled pit stops to repair damage. He restarted from the tail but could do no better than seventh in the final running order.

John McLaren finished eighth, Justin Fiedler ninth and Todd Kempf rounded out the top-10.

The Vores Compact Touring Series, 30 cars strong, made its first appearance of the 2019 season at Salem. Mainesville, Ohio’s Jess Drook out-dueled Terry Eaton, Jr. in lapped traffic to win the 30-lap main event. Bowling Green, Kentucky’s Brandon Dalton finished second ahead of Gary Eaton, Jr. (West Liberty, Ohio) in third. Terry Eaton, Jr. fell to fourth in the final running order with Jeff Vore (Ridgeville, Indiana) trailing in fifth.

The next event at Salem will be the 106^th running of the ARCA Menards Series Sept. 14, under the lights with the Kentuckiana Ford Dealers Fall Classic 200. The Lucas Oil Great American Stocks will join the ARCA national tour for the stock car double-header.

SWANSON, KIMMEL BIG WINNERS AT
SALEM SPEEDWAY ON SATURDAY NIGHT

SALEM, Ind. (Aug. 10, 2019) -- Kingsburg, Calif.’s Kody Swanson led wire to wire to win the 60^th running of the Visit Scott County Joe James/Pat O’Connor Memorial presented by the Kentuckiana Ford Dealers Saturday night at Salem Speedway Fueled by the Hoosier Lottery. He also held his own in the history books, tying Pancho Carter’s record of winning four-consecutive James/O’Connor Memorials, a feat Carter set between 1974 and ’77.

Swanson, who won the pole position in the No. 20 Gene Nolen Racing entry, jumped into the top spot at the start and never relinquished the lead. The only thing that gave his competition a chance was a few caution flags that allowed the field to bunch up behind the eventual winner. It didn’t matter, however; Swanson was able to drive away as necessary to secure a record 28^th USAC Silver Crown Champ Car Series victory in his 100^th series start. The 4-time Silver Crown champion also padded his points lead heading to next Saturday’s race on the Springfield (Ill.) Mile Dirt.

Franklin, Massachusetts’ Bobby Santos finished 10 lengths away in second with Aaron Pierce (Muncie, Ind.) coming home third. Danville, Indiana’s Kyle Hamilton finished fourth with Shullsburg, Wisconsin’s David Byrne trailing in fifth. Justin Grant, Eric Gordon, Derek Bischak, James Davison and Kyle Robbins completed the top-10 finishers, respectively. Davison, from Melbourne, Australia, finished 12^th in the 2019 Indianapolis 500 back in May.

Will Kimmel made headlines in the Lucas Oil Great American Stocks division, winning the 50-lap feature event in the No. 69 E3 Spark Plugs-T&T Construction Chevrolet. The third-generation Salem racer from Sellersburg, Ind. also took over the championship points lead from Owensboro, Kentucky’s Heath Helton who was involved in a crash in turn two. Helton was not injured but unable to complete the race.

Kimmel, who won his fourth consecutive pole award, started seventh by inversion and utilized the inside groove to move into second by lap three. Then he gave race leader Kyle Hadley a nudge in turn three causing Hadley’s machine to wiggle just enough to allow Kimmel to make the inside pass for the lead. From there, Kimmel held off Huntingburg, Indiana’s Todd Kempf to win his second consecutive feature event at Salem. Kempf held on for second in front of Brandon Deckard (Shepherdsville, Ky.), who finished a career-best third. David Bayens finished fourth. Trent Bayer finished a career-best fifth. Matt Stice finished sixth. John McLaren finished a career-best seventh. Craig Rogers, Shayne Slider and Kyle Hadley completed the top-10, respectively.

The next event at Salem is the Back to School Bash presented by Ace Hardware Saturday, Aug. 24. The big night of fun features this year’s first visit from the Vores Compact cars on the high-banks and the Lucas Oil Great American Stocks. There’ll be free grandstand attendance for all kids 12 and under, when accompanied by an adult.
