Memmer Breaks Thur Again At The Burg08/22/2010
Memmer Racing returned to the high-banks of Lawrenceburg Speedway to resume the chase for the championship. With a new car ready to go, the team had high expectations for the evening. The heat race did not go all that well. After starting 5th, John finished 3rd in the heat. This secured a 9th place starting position in the feature. After the green flag flew in the feature, John started heading to the front. After gettinginto second, John almost spun the car out..... motor bogging down almost ready to stall, when he got hit, straightened the car out and the motor took off again. This put him back in 5th. John quickly worked his way to 2nd, and after the blown right-rear on the leading car, this put him in the lead... a position he would not give up! Goodyear was on the left-rear again this night.... and it was the second race on it. The first race for that tire..... was a WIN! Memmer Racing would like to thank Adam Love again for helping us out crewing on the car for the evening! No racing this coming weekend.... but next weekend will have Memmer Racing competing at Lawrenceburg on Saturday night and at the hometown track of Tri-State Speedway on Sunday. We hope to see you there!! |
Two nights of racing at The Burg this past weekend08/09/2010
This past weekend had Memmer racing a double at the high-banks of Lawrenceburg Speedway. Saturday night was the regular weekly show. John won his heat.... in the redraw started on pole for the feature. During the feature, he slad back as far as third, but worked his way back to second and was giving Brady Short all kinds of pressure for the win. John would finish second on the night. John's dad and crew chief Brent said it was one of the best drives he has ever seen from John in a sprint car.... searching for the best line and driving great. John is still currently second in points championship. Sunday was the make-up feature for the rained out Mel Johnson Classic. Because the front panel popped off and forced John to retire from the heat, he would be starting in the B Feature. 25 laps for 1000 to win. John led the majority of the race. On a restart with about 5 laps to go, second place driver threw a slider on John.... John either had to lift or lose his front end..... he lifted and the car jumped the cushion, flipping 3 times before coming to rest upright. John banged his knee on the steering box and is ok.... the car needs to go to DRC for a going-over. Thanks to everyone who stopped by the pits to say hi this past weekend! |
Memmer does it again at The Burg!!!08/01/2010
Saturday night had Memmer Racing competing at Lawrenceburg Speedway. The track was super smooth..... a rain delay of about 50 minutes and trucks rolling in the track helped make for a great racing surface. Kudos to Dave Rudicell and crew for a FINE track!!! John was scheduled to start 3rd in his heat... but then the polesitter elected to tag the tail this put him on pole. Once the green flag flew John checked out to a comfortable win! Lawrenceburg does a redraw for the top 6 starters. The redraw had John on pole! After the green flew, Memmer led every lap on his way to the feature win! Goodyear tires were once again awesome... and John mentioned this on the P.A. system. All in all a rather smooth night for Memmer Racing! Next week will have them at Lawrenceburg Saturday for the regular show then Sunday for the make-up feature from the Mel Johnson Classic. We hope to see you all there!! |
Indiana Sprint Week Wrap-up07/20/2010

Saturday the team was at the hometown track of Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt. John qualified 8th fast, but had fuel delivery issues in the heat, finishing fifth. The team could not sort out the issue and were forced to retire for the evening. Memmer Racing will be racing this weekend at Lawrenceburg Speedway on Saturday. See you at the races! |
Lawrenceburg Speedway Sprint Week07/10/2010
Last night had Memmer Racing competing on the high-banks of Lawrenceburg Speedway for USAC Indiana Sprint Week. The team was ready and loaded for bear.... Goodyear tire on the left-rear.... and ready to show them that John Memmer was for real! John qualified 11th of 42 cars on hand. In the heat race, he finished 3rd... cementing a spot in the feature. John would end up starting on the pole with some of the best sprint car drivers in the world chasing him! When the green flag flew, John shot to the lead! This was a spot that he would hold down for a considerable time. After surviving a red flag for a flip on the start, upon completing the 24th lap of the 30 laps race, the engine went south...... 2 burnt pistons were the culprit. He dropped out... ultimately finishing 17th. John is deeply disappointed about the final result... but the silver lining in the black cloud was that he lead ALL 24 LAPS HE RACED! Winning a USAC race is now something that is legitimately within reach.... and may well be coming soon! The team will now be forced to sit out some Sprint Week races. The next 2 races on the agenda are Brownstown on Thursday and at the hometown track of Tri-State Speedway on Saturday. We hope to see you there... and please stop by and say hi! |

After the redraw, starting outside row 1, John gained the lead on lap 2 of the 25 lapper and never looked back, gaining the teams first win this season!!!

Lawrenceburg Speedway Recap from 5-2205/24/2010
This past weekend Memmer Racing was again competing at the high banks of Lawrenceburg Speedway. After taking a hit in points the team was looking to get a good finish to start making up ground again for the championship. Saturday was the first day the team utilized a Goodyear tire on the left rear. This tire was SO GOOD it tightened up the car more than anticipated. After a heat race win, John brought home the car to a third place finish. With this Goodyear tire the team will be working on loosening up the car in the future. Kudos to Dave Rudisell and the Lawrenceburg Speedway track prep crew for a tacky and fast track all night long! We would like to give a big shout out to Adam Love for all his help on the car. This young man has been a lot of help to us at thee Burg!!! Thank you also to those folks who have bought the new t-shirts we have for sale. If you have not got yours, come see us in the pits!!! Memmer Racing will not be competing this weekend. We will be focusing our time on getting our 2nd of 3 motors race ready. With Indiana Sprint Week coming up we need to have both cars and motors ready to go so we can resume a full schedule and be ready to compete in Sprint Week. We will see you at the races the weekend of June 5th!! |
