Littleton, Bridges, Pannell, and Scarbrough Lead Locals on Maxxis Championship Weekend. Cirillo Takes Big Boy Bash!
Temperatures in the high nineties, the newest school season, and the busiest weekend of 206 competition in the country did not deter the points finale for the Maxxis 4 Cycle Sprint Series from enjoying great numbers, as the series wrapped up its second season of competition at Lamar County Speedway in Barnesville, Georgia.
With a packed pits of national competition, the local contingent was well represented in victory lane as Peyton Bridges, Lane Littleton, Jocie Pannell, and Lillian Scarbrough, all regulars in Barnesville, found the top shelf of the podium on more than one occasion. While Bridges, Littleton, and Scarbrough all ran the national series, there was no doubt they were enjoying Home Track Advantage this past weekend.
After picking up her first national win a month ago in Maryland, Lillian Scarbrough roared to life both days in the Moe Racing Kid Kart class, taking the Saturday win over defending series champion Jaydyn Wilson, with Camden Boatfield, Sawyer Chambers, points leader Sydney Miller, and Caleb Wilson rounding out the race order. Day #2 found Scarbrough right back in victory lane, with Wilson once again in the runner-up position, followed by Boatfield, Caleb Wilson, and Miller. Millers finishes allowed her to take the 2019 Kid Kart Championship, while Scarbrough came home a close second, followed by Texas driver Sawyer Chambers. Here’s a look at the Top 3 final standings in Kid Kart.
1 Sydney Miller: 411
2 Lillian Scarbrough: 403
3 Sawyer Chambers: 355
For Lane Littleton, the return to Barnesville victory lane was a welcome sight. After breaking his arm at the Barnesville event back in April, forcing the Georgia driver to sit out the weekend, Littleton roared to life with a pair of wins in the Mikim Motorsports Pro Gas Cadet class. On Day 1, Littleton fended off 2019 Pro Gas Champion Owen Lloyd, with Peyton Bridges, Brady Atwood, and Darryl Moglia rounding out the top 5. On Day #2, Littleton continued his pace up front, again topping Lloyd, with Atwood improving to 3rd, followed by Moglia and Mason Donahue. With his pair of runner-up finishes, Lloyd attained the 2019 Pro Gas Championship. Here’s a look at this years top 3.
1 Owen Lloyd: 433
2 Mason Donahue: 405
3 Brady Atwood: 403
Much like Littleton, Peyton Bridges was enjoying sleeping in his own bed each night, which showed with a pair of wins in the Brads Karts and Parts LO206 Cadet Mains. On Day #1, Bridges led the 10-kart field to the checkers, topping Littleton, with Owen Lloyd, Darryl Moglia, and Adam Wein completing the top 5. Day #2 found a mirror image of the top 3 of Bridges, Littleton, and Lloyd, with Mason Donahue and Darryl Moglia completing the top 5. Once again, consistency on this weekend, coupled with numerous wins during the season enabled Lloyd to snare his second title of the season, with Donahue and Moglia finishing second and third in a very tight battle. Here’s a look at the final top 3.
1 Owen Lloyd: 518
2 Mason Donahue: 488
3 Darryl Moglia: 485
For Jocie Pannell, a regular at Barnesville, her first experience with national competition netted the young driver her first pair of national event wins in the Coyote Motorsports/Brad Heating and Cooling LO206 Junior class. Pannell bested fellow female competitor Jenna Pearson on Day 1, while Eli Brewer chased Pannell across the stripe on the second day of competition. While not at the finale, the 2019 Junior championship was wrapped up by Maryland’s Collin Miller prior to the weekend. Miller will be honored for his Junior title in December at Jacksonville on Grand National weekend.
The tightest points battles were in all 3 Vintage classes. In its maiden season, the Vintage drivers added a great element to the pits, and on track. And this past weekend, the stress to win the Swann Mechanical Limited Modified Championship was on. Sporting a slim lead in points, Gregg Redd had the pressure squarely on his shoulders, and didn’t disappoint. Day 1 action found the classes Saturday stalwart in Jason Shoffner taking yet another impressive win on the season, with Redd coming home second, followed by Ken Eversole, Bob Barthelemy, and Cameron Plyler. Feeling the pressure from behind, Redd stepped up his game on Sunday, taking the top honors over Barthelemy, Tracy Pearson, Eversole, and Cameron Plyler. In the end just 4 points separated the top 3 in the final standings in the closest finish of the season. Here’s a look at the top 3.
1 Greg Redd: 329
2 Bob Barthelemy: 327
3 Ken Eversole: 325
The ARC Racing Vintage Stock class had a little more of a gap in the final standings, but not much. And with 24 hungry Vintage Stock racers converging on the Barnesville course, 1 slip, and title hopes would be dashed. But for Tyler Swann, the Georgia product kept his head, staying consistent with a top 5 run on Day 1, as Todd Horton, another Saturday top gun driver took the main event win over Steve Loftin and Billy Johnson Jr. Day 2 found Swann looking to preserve that first ever title, with a win over dirt veteran Kenny Buff, while Archie Kennedy rounded out the top 3. With his win, Swann takes the inaugural title. Here’s a look at the top 3.
1 Tyler Swann: 371
2 Greg Redd: 362
3 Steve Loftin: 354
This years awards ceremonies will honor a Father and Son Champion as Tyson Swann laid claim to the Dyno Cams Vintage Open Modified title. While needing some relief help on Saturday from Stevie Roberts due to extreme heat conditions, Swann and company tuned the kart just right, as Roberts roared to the Saturday Open win over Kenny Buff, Rodney Benefield, Duke Zink, and Chuck Pittman. Zink raced back for the Sunday checkered, thus coming home second in the overall standings. Here’s a look at the top 3 in the final standings.
1 Tyson Swann: 340
2 Duke Zink: 319
3 Kenny Buff: 245
Fathers and Sons were also represented this past weekend in the SSi LO206 Senior class as 2019 champion Caylyn Brown topped Dad Kenner in Sundays action, while besting Peter Rigg on Saturday. Brown will be one of the many honored in Jacksonville in December for his title.
Not to be denied a pair of wins this weekend also was Chris Carroll in the Kart City Performance CIK LO206 Senior class. Carroll bested Jacob Duvall, Tyler Swann, Aren Lloyd, and Kyle Banovitz on Day 1 while returning on Sunday for a sweep of the weekends class. Duvall again came home second followed by Austin Kinny, James Inscoe, and Lloyd. With his finishes over the weekend, Lloyd secured his first ever title in CIK competition, with Carroll coming home second in the title run.
With 2019 champion Tim Clark missing from action this past weekend, the floodgates were open this weekend in the EK Kart Chain 206 Masters class with a pair of Florida veterans in Barry Hastings and Brad Farmer not only securing a pair of wins, but also locking down top 3 spots in the final standings. Hastings took the Day 1 honors over Farmer and John Seglem, while Farmer improved one notch in the order, taking the Sunday show over Seglem, Chris Cirillo, and Hastings. Here’s a look at the final top 3 in the 2019 standings.
1 Tim Clark: 418
2 Brad Farmer: 389
3 Barry Hastings: 385
The weekend got off to a great start with the first edition of the Big Boy Bash, a special race for many of the heavyweights in the Vintage Stock Class. With drivers weight set at 220, 11 of the best in Vintage Stock racing ran a trio of race segments, full of inversions off track, and great racing on track. In the end, New York’s Chris Cirillo came away with the first edition win, receiving some amazing awards from Tyson Swann of Swann Mechanical. Cirillo was in a huge dogfight the entire distance with Billy Johnson Jr, Joey McNeal and others before taking the prestigious win. Billy Jones fought his way to second with Randy Bloodworth coming home third.

North and South Draw Battle Lines in Maxxis Sandy Hook Summer Nationals
Under the most intense heat wave of the young summer season, competitors up and down the eastern seaboard made the trek to the immaculate Sandy Hook Speedway in Street, Maryland for the 4thround of the Maxxis 4 Cycle Sprint Series, with some pretty amazing, yet, not surprising results.
With temperatures in the high nineties, heat index well over 100, and humidity as thick as a Maryland crab cake, the best of the series came through with a great mix of Northern and Southern talent, 10 wins going to the south, and 7 from the north.
A perfect scenario for the weekend came in the EK Chains CIK LO206 Senior Class, where the battle was on between the two regions. Beginning with the Friday evening Money race, paying $500 to win, courtesy of Barnes Paving, the battle was on from the outset, with a solid 10 kart quality field shadowing each other the entire distance with Georgia competitor Aren Lloyd checking in for the win, topping Florida’s Moe Edmonson and New York’s Josh Stiefel. Edmonson came home with a $300 payday while Stiefel took home $200.
Points Race #1 for the class only got better on Saturday with Lloyd and Edmonson waging a great battle down the stretch, with just enough room left open on the final lap for Doug Barnes to sneak through and steal a huge win for the Maryland crowd. Edmonson came home second, followed by Lloyd, Tyler Frantz, and Riley Friedman, with Drew Cirillo, Josh Stiefel, Indy Kassy, and Jonathan Tedder rounding out the order. On Day 2, Lloyd was able to roar back and claim his second win of the weekend in the class, with Drew Cirillo making big swings on Sunday, improving up to second, followed by Barnes, Stiefel, and Friedman.
The Kart City Performance Masters class found a familiar face in victory lane, as Florida veteran, and points leader Tim Clark made the venture up for the weekend, thus sweeping the weekends activities over Brandon Hollenbaugh and Elmer Edmonson.
One of the most pleasant surprises was seeing the bulk of the southern Cadet Class Drivers able to make the long venture, thus blending in with some top-notch Maryland talent. Starting with the Mikim Motorsports Pro Gas Cadet class, Georgia’s Owen Lloyd, who made the venture up to the facility the weekend before, made the most of the early visit, thus earning a pair of Pro Gas wins over fellow Georgian Lane Littleton, with Maryland stalwart Brady Atwood a solid third each day, followed by Florida drivers Darryl Moglia and Mason Donahue, while Emma Kate Scarbrough and Amanda Shaw rounded out the field. The end result for the top 7 in the finishing order was identical both days.
In the SSi LO206 Senior class, Elmer Edmonson, fresh from moving up to the Senior ranks one race prior, swept the weekends activities, topping current points leader and Florida veteran Caylyn Brown both days. Chris Crillo and Jonathan Tedder chased the pair across the stripe on Day 1, with Cirillo earning a third-place effort on Day #2.
The Coyote Motorsports/Brads Heating and Cooling LO206 Junior class was stacked with some great competition. Led by current series points leader Colin Miller, the Saturday show revealed one of the best comebacks of the weekend. After being shuffled back in the order early, Miller never gave up, hitting his marks, and roaring back through the field for the Day 1 win over Carson and Hudson Brown, with Aiden Coleman and Jamison Huffman rounding out the race order. Miller made sure to keep the lead early on Day 2, thus cruising to the sweep for the weekend, with Hudson Brown, Coleman, Carson Brown, Huffman, and Justin Fleischer rounding out the order.
Adding to the excitement of the national weekend was the added flavor of Local Option competition, as the Clone Modifieds from the Elkton Grand Prix, as well as the TaG Senior class, enjoyed some great competition on track. Day 1 action for the Clones found Kyle Weissner in victory lane with Chris Smith, Legacey Cavanaugh, and Ty Neal rounding out the race order. While Weissner wasn’t able to return on Sunday, fellow 4 Cycle top dog Travis Manning took Wei ssners seat, and parked the Clone right back in victory lane. Smith again was second in the event with Cavenaugh, and Jacob Lowery rounding out the finishing order.
In TaG Senior competition, Virgil Gross was the class of the field, taking the win over Sebastian Fleischer and Mark Eller.
While racing all weekend long was top shelf, the Brads Karts and Parts LO206 Cadet Class was amongst the best, with Owen Lloyd taking the win over Darryl Moglia, with Lane Littleton, Will Loller, and Mason Donahue making up the to 5. Completing the top 10 were Emma Kate Scarbrough, Brody Kelly, Keith Labhart, and Amanda Shaw, and K Mike Chidester. Littleton, strong all weekend, improved a few spots in the order on Day #2 topping Lloyd and Donahue, with Maryland speedster Brady Atwood coming home 4th, followed by Chidester, Loller, Moglia, Scarbrough, Kelly, Shaw, and Labhart.
It was even North/South in the Moe Racing Kid Kart class over the weekend with southern racer Lillian Scarbrough winning on Saturday, while Marylander Sydney Miller returned the favor on Sunday, taking the win in the 2-kart battle.
As always, the Fast Time awards were top notch, with competitors receiving their rewards for Fast Time action, courtesy of Stevie and Stacy Roberts of Roberts Kart Shop and Razor Chassis.
Thank’s so much to Robert and Brianna Miller and their entire staff for the outstanding job they did, making one and all feel so welcome. Despite the excessive temperatures, this was clearly a race people will be wishing they had attended this year.
While 2 more events remain on the Maxxis Sprint calendar, the final points race will be August 16-18 at Lamar County Speedway in Barnesville, Georgia. Entry info is already available at the Maxxis Kart Racing website, with entries already rolling. The early highlight of the weekend will be the Big Boy Bash for the Vintage Stock Racers, a 20-lap event for drivers that are 220#’s or more. Should be a great weekend of racing.

Miller Preps for Sandy Hook with Kershaw Junior Trifecta
As the Maxxis 4 Cycle Sprint Series heads to the second half of the season, and prepares for its newest venue in July at Sandy Hook Speedway in Street Maryland, Whiteford, Maryland Junior competitor Collin Miller is prepped and ready to defend his home turf next month, after sweeping the Coyote Motorsports/ Brads Heating and Cooling Junior class activities recently during the Southern Nationals weekend at Carolina Motorsports Park in Kershaw, South Carolina.
Joining Miller in the multiple win column were Georgia driver Peyton Bridges in the Brads Karts and Parts LO206 Cadet class, while Florida veteran Tim Clark maintained his #1 status in the Kart City Performance LO206 Masters class with a sweep of the weekend’s activities. Also checking in for a pair of wins was Georgia driver Greg Redd, a double winner in the Swann Mechanical Vintage Limited Modified class, while Moe Edmonson graduated to the Senior ranks with a win in both the SSi LO206 Senior and EK Chain CIK LO206 Senior ranks on the final day of competition.
As they say in racing, it only takes 2 karts to make a show. And the Kershaw weekend began with a bang, as Miller and Moe Edmonson put on an absolute driving clinic, with the pair of drivers trading the lead multiple times during each lap in the 206 Junior Money event Friday evening. Setting a great example of tremendous sportsmanship and respect among the 2 drivers, Miller eventually nipped Edmonson at the line, with newcomer Lauren Brallier, one of the top female competitors in the south, coming home third in the event. Despite a change in the eventual race finish, following post-race tech, which placed Brallier second and Edmonson third, the stage was clearly set for the weekend, as Miller and Edmonson displayed some of the greatest, most respectful side by side racing in the history of the sport.
By meeting the minimum age requirements for Senior competition, Edmonson moved up the balance of the weekend to compete in the LO206 Senior and CIK Senior classes, with great first race results. Despite Edmonson’s absence, Brallier picked up the intensity on Saturday, shadowing Miller the entire 15 lap distance on Saturday, with Miller taking the win. Miller polished off the weekend with the Sunday Junior win.
While Edmonsons first day in the Senior class didn’t net the results he had been accustomed to, with a 4thplace finish in the SSi LO206 Senior class on Saturday, the Florida driver quickly adapted to his new surroundings in the Maxxis program, taking the Day 2 win in the class over current points leader Caylyn Brown, with Michael Clark coming home third. Not to be denied his run for the title, Brown took the Day 1 victory over Clark, Paul Rice, and Edmonson.
In the EK Chain CIK LO206 Senior action, Georgia driver Austin Williamson looked like he was running on rails, taking the Day 1 win over an impressive field of drivers, with veteran Chris Carroll coming home second, followed by Jaob Duvall, Alexander Searle, and Tyler Lloyd. Completing the top ten were Kyle Banovit, Wayne Lee, Lenny Airtime, Todd Horton, and Tyler Swann. On Day 2, Edmonson rebounded from issues in the heat race to win an exciting 3 kart battle over Williamson and Carroll, with Jacob Duvall and Alexander Searle rounding out the top 5. Completing the race order were Tyler Lloyd and Tyler Swann.
Following a somewhat frustrating weekend at his home track in Barnesville, Georgia the previous race, Peyton Bridges rebounded nicely, sweeping the wins in the Brads Karts and Parts LO206 Cadet class over a stellar field of Cadet racers. Bridges took the Day 1 win over current points leader Owen Lloyd, with Lane Littleton, Brady Atwood, and Darryl Moglia completing the top five. The balance of the top ten were Bryce Sanders, Josey Chambers, K Mike Chidester, Mason Donahue, and Alyssa Vascocu. Feeling the bulls eye on his back didn’t prevent Bridges from roaring back for another win on Sunday, as Lloyd once again shadowed the the Georgia driver to the line. Following the duo were Maryland competitor Brady Atwood, Sanders, and Chambers, while Donahue, Adam Wein, Emma Kate Scarbrough, Chidester, and Moglia rounding out the top 10.
For yet another weekend, a strong contingent of Vintage drivers converged on the Kershaw course, with Greg Redd securing a pair of wins in the Swann Mechanical Vintage Limited Modified ranks. While Jason Shoffner has practically owned the Limited category, Redd would not be denied on Saturday, as the pair ran nose to tail the entire distance, with Cameron Plyler, Bob Barthelemy, and Ken Eversole completing the top 5. Redd returned on Sunday for the sweep, topping Eversole, Barthelemy, and Plyler.
Much like Caylyn Brown, Tim Clark is another Floridian chasing a respective title, this being in the Kart City Performance LO206 Masters class. Not to be denied, Clark topped Tim Skinner, Brad Farmer, John Seglem, and Barry Hastings on Day #1, with Skinner again chasing Clark across the stripe on Sunday. Seglem improved to third on Sunday, with Hastings and Farmer rounding out the top 5.
In the Moe Racing LO206 Kid Kart class, the competition continues to improve immensely, as defending champion Jaydyn Wilson scored the Day #1 win over Texas racer Sawyer Chambers, with Lillian Scarbrough, Sydney Miller, and Caleb Wilson making up the top 5. With Sunday being Fathers Day, and many racers having commitments, the Wilson duo were unable to compete. Chambers was able to improve on Day 2, securing the win over Scarbrough and Miller.
Much like 206, the Mikim Motorsport Pro Gas Cadet class displayed some stout competition with Owen Lloyd coming away with the first day win, topping Lane Littleton, Peyton Bridges, Brady Atwood, and Mason Donahue. Littleton, strong all weekend long, was able to finally park his Pro Gas machine in victory lane. After suffering a broken arm during the Barnesville weekend, Littleton clearly was on the mend, taking the win over Bridges, Lloyd, Donahue, and Atwood.
In the Dyno Cams Vintage Open Modified ranks, Duke Zink scored the opening day win, in a tussle over points leader Tyson Swann and Kenny Buff, while Swann rebounded for the Day 2 win.
The ARC Racing Vintage Stock class continues to boast great numbers, as a strong 14 kart field battled on Saturday with Dirt Racing legend Kenny Buff taking the hard-earned win over Greg Redd, while Tyler Swann, Todd Horton, and Steve Loftin completed the top 5. Rounding out the top ten were Eugene Neese, rebounding from a heat race flip, while newcomer Archie Kennedy, Ken Belue, Brandon Neese, and Shannon Hudson completed the top 10. While some of the Vintage drivers can only run one day, due to Sunday commitments, one of those Saturday drivers, in the form of Todd Horton, hung around, and kept his win streak alive by taking the Sunday show. Redd, coming off his best weekend yet, again was second, followed by Buff, Kennedy, and Swann.
With Race #3 at Kershaw in the books, the focus now turns to the Summer Nationals July 19-21 at Sandy Hook Speedway in Street, Maryland. The new venue for the Maxxis Series will kick off with a full day of practice on Friday, topped off by a $500 to win Money race for the LO206 Senior and CIK Senior competitors, sponsored by Barnes Paving. Second place will get $300, with $200 going to third. A full weekend of national racing will be complimented by 3 Local Option Classes, including TaG Senior and Junior, as well as Clone Modifieds, making for a 13-race program each day.
