2013 ASA NORTHWEST SPRINTCAR RACING ASSOCIATION SEASON IN REVIEW; ASA MEMBER TRACK SCHEDULE: OCTOBER 25-27, 2013
Daytona Beach, FL (October 24, 2013) – The ASA Northwest Sprintcar Racing Association wrapped up its 2013 10 race schedule after a premature end to its season when a late September date at Shasta Speedway was cancelled and Andy Alberding, who won his first ASA NSRA title in 2007, won his fourth series title (2007, 2010, 2012 and 2013).
The series visited six tracks in three states and the Canadian province of British Columbia. The ASA NSRA brings the fastest asphalt race cars in the Northwest to short tracks throughout Washington, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia.
The ASA NSRA opened its 2013 at Evergreen Speedway with series defending champion Andy Alberding taking the win.
The series shifted to Idaho in late May and ran the co-sanctioned Diamond Cup weekend with the ASA Western Winged Sprintcars at Meridian Speedway with Mike Murgoitio winning both races while Bryan Wurf took the Diamond Cup XXV diamond ring.
Running again with the ASA WWS the series moved to Stateline Speedway in Post Falls, ID for its annual “Super Shoe Show” where 59-year-old Rick Brown led all 40-laps en route to the win in the main event.
Another two-race schedule saw the two series running at Douglas County Speedway in Roseburg, OR on July 19-20 with Johnny Geisler and Matt Hein, who was racing at his home track, notching victories.
A return trip to Evergreen Speedway on August 3 saw Matt Hein win his second straight 2013 win en route to his third straight and fourth overall Rory Price Memorial.
In conjunction with the ASA WWS, the ASA NSRA sprint cars travelled to Canada for a two-race weekend at Western Speedway in Victoria, B.C. where Scotty Aumen rewrote the record books in a big way at the Daffodil Cup smashing the track qualifying record en route to becoming the first driver to win five Daffodil Cup races.
The 42nd running of the prestigious Daffodil Cup, the oldest sprint car race in Canada, saw Aumen lead one lap, the last, on Friday night while Jeff Montgomery took the Saturday show. The winner of the Daffodil Cup is the driver who accumulates the most points from the two races.
The ASA NSRA season came to a close August 31 at Motoplex Speedway in Vernon, B.C. with Aumen continuing his hot streak and taking the checkers. Aumen, a British Columbia native, missed five races during the season but was still able to finish eighth in the final championship point standings after winning two of the series final three races.
Alberding took the early lead in the ASA NSRA standings after his season-opening win and paced the point race the entire season enroute to the title despite the lone win. He did secure five top-five finishes during the season.
Finishing just nine points behind the series champion was Geisler, who finished the season with one win and seven top-five finishes.
Hein finished third in the final standings after recording two wins on the season and he had five top-five finishes.
ASA NSRA sprint car drivers hold the all-time track records at 17 tracks throughout the Northwest and those same drivers have won in various forms of dirt and asphalt racing and many have numerous championships to their credit.
“Our group thanks so many for their support as our sport could not succeed without dedicated race fans and sponsors,” said Alberding. “We look forward to bringing the most exciting and entertaining racing for you and your family.”
Despite the late cancellation of the scheduled season-ender at Shasta Speedway, ASA NSRA officials are having discussions to make a visit in 2014.
The ASA NSRA will celebrate its 2013 season and look forward to the future when it holds its annual banquet this weekend at the Monarch Hotel in Portland, Oregon on Saturday, October 26.
The day will begin from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM with the series annual membership and rules meeting with all drivers and owners invited to attend. The banquet kicks-off with a Cocktail Hour at 6:00 PM, Dinner at 7:00 PM, Awards Presentation at 8:00 PM followed by raffles, 50/50, games and bench racing from 9:30 PM to midnight.

“Terrible” Tim To Cap Off Tough 2013 Season -
Tacoma, Washington –
9-12-2013 – This Saturday will mark the final race of the 2013 Super Late Model season at Evergreen Speedway. “Terrible” Tim McDougald will join his fellow competitors for the first time during this racing season, as he brings the #68 KMB design / Hargis Engineers / Print-NW / Ringers Gloves Toyota Camry to Monroe, Washington for the season finale.
“It’s been a long season for me,” claimed a noticeably humble McDougald. “I’ve had to step back quite a bit this year. We started out trying to build a new car. Some changes in marketing strategies meant that I was losing my marketing partners that have been with me for the past 6 years. We’ve been very fortunate to have a great team of partners for so long now. But it’s a new day, and we’re trying to regroup and move forward. The build of the new car has taken much longer than we had planned. Our budget didn’t allow for weekly racing and building the new car, so we’ve been pretty focused on that instead of on racing. That’s been tough for me, not racing each week. It kills me to not be out there. As a driver, you want to be in the car. But you do what you have to do.”
Returning to the track for Championship Night, McDougald will have a slightly different focus for this night. “We feel like we’ve fallen behind quite a bit by not being out there all year,” said McDougald. “So we’re trying to use this event as testing for next year. I’ve got some things I want to try, quite a bit different than what we’ve been doing in the past. The car hasn’t been that great previously so we’re looking for a new plan, some new ideas, and we want to use this night as a test session for next year so that we might get a jump on this new car, maybe start next year a bit better than we’ve been.”
Sitting on the sidelines hasn’t been all bad for McDougald. Most nights you can find him in manning the radio for his teammate and brother, Tommy Rasmussen. “I really enjoy spotting for Tommy,” said “Terrible” Tim. “It’s something I started doing for him before I started driving Late Models and I’ve grown to really like it. It’s pretty exciting, too exciting at times! I like to think I’m pretty good at it, and it helps me stay connected to the sport. Don’t get me wrong, there’s days where it really kills me to have to watch the race I want to be in. But at least it keeps me involved in it.”
Looking forward to next year, McDougald and his #68 Toyota Camry are in a re-building mode, trying to return to the position he was in just a few short years ago. “We’ve had a tough couple of years, no doubt,” said McDougald. “We’ve gone from a series where we were definitely a major player, competing for wins and championships, to a mid-pack car in a series we just weren’t ready for. After the LLMRS folded we had to find a new home, and this is where we felt the most welcomed. The competition is tough here, these guys are for real. And right now, we just don’t have all the elements to compete for wins. But we haven’t given up, we plan to have the new car done for 2014
and we think it will really help us move forward. We’re trying to rebuild our marketing package and find some new partners who are interested in not just having their name on a car, but standing out from the crowd and in the community. We like to have fun and we like to show the community what we’re all about. We like to get out there and be seen. We think we offer a great platform for any business to really build a presence in the local community and build more visibility for their brand. Hopefully we can find the right partners who see the benefits we offer and want to come on board.”
Don’t miss “Terrible” Tim McDougald’s return to his NASCAR Home Track of Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, Washington this coming Saturday, September 14th, as the 2013 Super Late Model racing season comes to an end.

ASA NORTHWEST SPRINTCAR RACING ASSOCIATION, ASA MEMBER TRACKS WEEKEND SCHEDULE AUGUST 2-4, 2013
Seven years ago a tragic accident jolted the racing community when Rory Price, a racer, friend, father, husband and son, lost his life far too early. Since his passing the Rory Price memorial has become a sanctuary for those who knew Price, and a time to celebrate the extraordinary life of one of our own.
Price’s family and friends have used their loss to rally together in an effort to carry on Rory’s love for open-wheel racing. Thanks to their countless hours of work and generous donations they have made the Rory Price Memorial one of the most prestigious races in the Northwest and have raised thousands of dollars towards The Rory Price Family Fund which ensures Rory’s daughter a secure future.
More than 20 winged sprint cars are expected Saturday night with Washington’s home state drivers looking to keep the winner in-state.
Todd Coleman, Robert Beck and Greg Middendorf were all close to Price, and any one of the three would love to hoist the RPM trophy over their head. Beck was last year’s early leader but his night was cut short when he lost a power steering line, subsequently ending his night. Perhaps the most surprising and exciting name for this race is, Billy Kennelly, who was one of Price's best friends, and for the first time ever will competed in the race that honors his long time friend.
Expected to make the trek south from Canada are Dave Salamandick, Chris Schmelzle, Ron Larson, Guy Barrett, Scott Aumen, Robbie Haslam and Matt Mansell.
Fan favorite, Sierra Jackson has had some bumps along her 2013 campaign, but hopes to use the RPM to set her season back on track. She is sure to have her hands full with fellow Idaho driver and teammate Johnny “The Jet” Giesler, who looks for his first ASA/NSRA championship and is consistently one of the fastest competitors.
Three Oregon drivers, combining for ten ASA/NSRA championships between them, will make the tow including Matt Hein. No driver has been more dominant in RPM races than Hein, winning three of the six races including the last two while also securing the 2008 and 2009 ASA/NSRA championship. Andy Alberding, the 2007, 2010 and the defending series champion and current point leader, searches for his first RPM victory. Lastly, the one known as “Quick” Rick Brown, he is the only driver to ever win an unprecedented five ASA/NSRA championships.
The ASA-sanctioned ProAutoSports is in Airway Heights, WA for the weekend offering three-days of track time at the Spokane County Raceway, a 2.3-mile road course with some challenging medium-speed corners with elevation changes and some tight technical segments.
