Sunoco FAST Series Moves to Columbia Motorsports Park, Lake City, FL September 17 & 18

The ninth race in the Sunoco Florida All Stars Tour is scheduled for September 17 & 18 at Columbia's half mile track. A full field of Super Late Model, Late Model, and Crate Late Model drivers are expected to compete in the event.

The Sunoco Florida All Stars Tour (Sunoco FAST) moves to Columbia Motorsports Park September 17 and 18 for its ninth event of the 2010 series. This will be the first scheduled visit at the Ellisville half mile asphalt track, and the second-to-last event on the Tour’s 2010 schedule. A combined field of 25-30 Super Late Model, Limited Late Model, and Crate Late Model entries is expected for the 100 lap feature event.

With two races yet to run in the 2010 season, Sunoco FAST officials report that the series’ car-count objective is being met, with an average of 28 cars taking the green at series feature races. Even more significant, though, is the diversity of the entry lists for the first six events. In total, 84 unique race teams have competed in FAST events. There are 21 registered FAST members, with another 63 race teams choosing to compete in selected events. In fact, five of the series features have been won by non-members, further highlighting the diversity of the series’ appeal.

Going into the September 17-18 event, Florida stock car racing veteran Wayne Anderson of Wildwood, FL leads the points standings, with two feature wins and six top 10 finishes, and holds a 95 point lead over second place Austin Kirkpatrick of Ocala, FL. Sixteen year-old Randy Anderson of Wildwood, FL occupies third place, 40 points behind Kirkpatrick. Kirkpatrick and Randy Anderson are both rookies in the series, and are holding down first and second places in the race for Rookie of the Year honors.

Non-members competing in the series have captured five wins and set four fast times, with Plant City, Fl’s Jeff Scofield winning at Auburndale Speedway and Desoto Super Speedway—both times after setting fast time. Herb Neumann of Inverness, FL took first place honors twice at Citrus County Speedway, while Florida standout Jeff Choquette is the most recent feature winner by virtue of his dominant win in the September 4 Clyde Hart Memorial/Sunoco FAST 100 at New Smyrna Speedway.
