Three different drivers visit the Winner’s Circle in the Thunderhill Raceway Super Stock Class

KYLE, TX (May 13, 2008) – The ASA A-Line Super Stocks have been showing the fans some great racing action at Thunderhill Raceway (Kyle, TX). This past weekend’s feature race was no exception.

Seventeen drivers lined up for the Thunderhill Raceway (THR) 40-lap feature event on Saturday, May 10 – including two of the previous race winners – Shawn Paul Lehman from Manchaca (TX) on April 12 and Mark Mathias from San Antonio (TX) on April 26.

Duane Toyne from Leander (TX) started on the inside of the fifth row in the ninth position. On Lap 9, Toyne and Mickey McKim from Manchaca (TX) made contact, but both drivers were able to maintain their positions.

During several lead changes, Toyne managed to work his way to the front. On Lap 32, Toyne passed Matt Hodge from Kyle (TX) and claimed the lead. He held off the 2007 Super Stock champion Cary Stapp from San Marcos (TX) for the remaining laps.

In other racing action, Carolyn Aramendia from Seguin (TX) claimed the Grand Stock feature win. Aramendia also won the April 26 Grand Stock feature race, and she now tops the points’ race for the Grand Stock class.

Gary Chancellor from Bastrop (TX) claimed his first feature win of the 2008 racing season in the Thunder Stock class, while Brian Kyempel claimed yet another victory in the NasKarts.

Tom Johnson from Kingsland (TX) grabbed the early lead in the 20-lap Texas Pro Sedan race and held on for his first victory of the 2008 season. Shawn Cannon from Forney (TX) started on the pole of the Allison Legacy Race Series 50-lap event and maintained the lead throughout the entire race.

Jim Albert from Lockhart (TX) continued to dominate the Pro Truck class and notched his second victory in the Pro Trucks at THR this season. H.E. Naumann from Del Valle (TX) proudly made his way to the Winner’s Circle following his victory in the ExpressJet Pro Modified 50 Race.

Thunderhill Raceway introduces new Media Center

KYLE, TX (May 8, 2008) – Media representatives are invited to check out their new “home” – a separate Media Center in the VIP suite area – at Thunderhill Raceway (Kyle, TX).

As part of the relocation efforts in the VIP suite area, the Thunderhill Raceway staff has moved its media operations from the downstairs Press Box to an exclusive area on the second floor.

The Press Box area will continue to be the headquarters for race sponsor activities during the 2008 racing season.

“We know it has been an awkward, crowded situation for our media supporters in the past,” said Mary Ann Naumann, Owner/Promoter of Thunderhill Raceway. “They were sharing the Press Box with the announcer, several race sponsors and special guests. We want to make certain the media folks get a nice, comfortable seat by the window to watch and report the races. We also hope this separate Media Center will let them know how much we value their support.”

Media representatives are invited to check out the Media Center during this Saturday’s (May 10) races at Thunderhill Raceway, starting with the opening ceremonies at 7:00 pm.

During the first phase of the relocation process, the announcer’s area and the associated audio equipment were moved to a suite on the second floor. A separate area was also created for the scoring staff, the electronic scoring equipment and the race control staff.

The final phase of VIP area redesign will be the addition of a suite for private birthday parties at the track – for both the young and “older” fans.

Thunderhill Raceway is a 3/8-mile, asphalt D-shaped oval track that’s located at 24801 IH-35, just outside of San Marcos, TX (Exit #210 - Yarrington Road). The grandstand gates will open at 4:00 pm on Saturday.

For more information on Thunderhill Raceway, visit the THR website at www.thunderhillraceway.com. Contact Debbie Williams at 210-685-0400 or send an e-mail to debbie@thunderhillraceway.com for more information about hosting a private birthday party at the track.

Thunderhill Raceway all set to honor “Racing Moms”

Special recognition planned for Mother’s Day Weekend

KYLE, TX (May 5, 2008) –Since this Sunday is Mother's Day, Thunderhill Raceway (Kyle, TX) is making plans to honor all of the "racing moms" on Saturday night, May 10, starting at 7:00 pm.

The mothers of the drivers and staff members will be treated as guests of Thunderhill Raceway and will be given a free pit pass for the event. Prior to the start of the races, each mom will be individually recognized as part of the night’s opening ceremonies.

Mary Ann Naumann, Owner/Promoter of Thunderhill Raceway, feels it’s important for the drivers to recognize their moms for the significant role they play in their lives.

"Behind almost every race car driver is a mom who cares and supports her son or daughter on and off the racetrack,” stated Naumann. "It will be our pleasure to help our drivers honor their moms on Saturday night.

One of the highlights of the evening will be a drawing to give away a free massage to two lucky moms – courtesy of JRA and A New Day Massage, owned by Patty Day. Each winner will receive a certificate for a one-hour massage at Patty Day’s just-opened office at 7901 Cameron Road, Suite 336, in downtown Austin (512.219.1090). Also, 100 certificates (for $25 off a massage) will be given to moms of fans and drivers throughout the race night.

Another activity will also be held on Saturday night in the grandstands – a Mother’s Day Contest to determine the oldest mom, the mother with the most children and the mother with the youngest child at the track. All fans and drivers are encouraged to invite their moms, stepmothers, grandmothers, and any other special person they may want to honor on Saturday night.

Thunderhill Raceway is a 3/8-mile, asphalt D-shaped oval track that’s located at 24801 IH-35, just outside of San Marcos, TX (Exit #210 - Yarrington Road). The grandstand gates open at 4:00 pm, and the racing action gets started promptly at 7:00 pm. Parking for this event is free, and food and drink will be available for purchase.

Saturday night’s racing action will feature the Thunderhill Raceway ASA A-Line Super Stocks, Thunder Stocks, Grand Stocks and NasKarts – along with the Texas Pro Sedans, Pro Trucks, Pro Modifieds and Allison Legacy Series.

Thunderhill Raceway cancels Thursday night practice sessions

Future practice sessions on pre-race Friday nights only

Thunderhill Raceway will no longer be holding Test-N-Tune practice sessions on Thursday nights of non-race weeks.

Unfortunately, we've had a very low turnout for these practices, so we're discontinuing them.

We will continue to have our Friday night Test-N-Tune practices during the week of a scheduled race at THR. The Friday practice sessions will be held from 4:00 p.m. until dark. The cost for pit passes for the practice sessions is $20 per car/driver, and $10 for all others. Grandstand admission is free.

The practice schedule has been updated on the THR website. See the Thunderhill Raceway Website for a complete list of future practice dates.

Races still on tonight!

I just spoke with Mary Ann, and it looks like it's a "go" for tonight's races at Thunderhill Raceway.

It looks like the track had quite a bit of rain last night, but the parking lot, etc., looks okay, especially with the sun drying it out this morning. Radar looks fine now, and I understand that a cold front with possible rain showers is due to arrive late tonight. So, bring your jackets and rain boots, just in case it arrives before the races are completed.

On a side note, Mary Ann asked that you remember that she's a race track owner/promoter, not a weather forecaster. LOL

Thunderhill Raceway Super Stock Drivers to compete in ASA National Championship

A-Line Super Stocks eligible for ASA Member Track National Championship

KYLE, TX (April 25, 2008) – The Super Stock class at Thunderhill Raceway (Kyle, TX) will assume a new name for the 2008 racing season – the “ASA A-Line Super Stocks.”

As an American Speed Association (ASA) sanctioned track, Thunderhill Raceway will be part of the “first ever” ASA Member Track National Championship title race, and the THR Super Stock class was chosen to participate in this competition.

In addition, A-Line Auto Parts has returned as the title sponsor for the Super Stocks during the 2008 season.

The goal of the ASA Short Track National Championship is to activate a measuring system which takes into account many variables, such as field size, inversion, wins and number of races in a season, and create a level playing field to determine who is the ‘best-of-the-best’ of the ASA Member track champions nationwide.

The Joe Gibbs Driven ASA National Member Track Champion Award was designed to give the National Champion exposure with one of the top teams in racing – Joe Gibbs Racing.

Mary Ann Naumann, Owner/Promoter of Thunderhill Raceway (Kyle, TX), is excited about this opportunity for the Super Stock drivers.

“We’ve always considered the Super Stocks to be our premier class at Thunderhill Raceway,” said Naumann. “And now they have an opportunity to get some national recognition and exposure. We know we have some incredible drivers in the Super Stock class, and I hope one of them will top the national charts by the end of the season.”

The ASA A-Line Super Stocks will be one of the highlights on the agenda for the upcoming race at THR this Saturday (April 26). Also included in this weekend’s racing action will be the Texas Super Racing Series (TSRS) Late Models, the Texas Pro Sedans and the Dwarf Car Series of Texas – along with the Thunderhill Raceway Thunder Stocks, Grand Stocks and NasKarts.
The ASA Member Track program is comprised of a network of short tracks around the United States, as well as a variety of regional and national touring series. For news and information from all the racetracks and tours involved in the American Speed Association, visit http://www.asa-racing.com/.

Joe Gibbs Driven, a division of Joe Gibbs Racing, sells the actual oil products developed and used by Joe Gibbs Racing to racers at all levels. More information can be found at http://www.joegibbdriven.com/.

Thunderhill Raceway is located at 24801 IH-35, just outside of San Marcos, TX, near Yarrington Road (Exit #210). The grandstand gates open at 4:00 pm, and the racing action gets started promptly at 7:00 pm.
