DiBenedetto Breaks Through In Second Start
Matt DiBenedetto took just two starts to find Victory Lane. The 17-year-old Grass Valley, Calif., driver passed Austin Dillon on a back-and-forth battle following a green-white-checkered finish to Saturday night’s Tri-County 150 to earn his first career NASCAR Camping World Series East victory. DiBenedetto, a Joe Gibbs Racing development driver, and Dillon, a Richard Childress Racing development driver, swapped the lead six times over the second half of the race. The event was stretched to 165 laps due to a pair of late cautions. DiBenedetto led four times for 75 laps, while Dillon led three times for 15 laps.
Ickler Dominates NASCAR Local Tracks 150 at Greenville-Pickens Speedway
Brian Ickler is hoping to use the NASCAR Camping World Series East as a launching pad. Performances like Saturday night at historic Greenville Pickens Speedway certainly don’t hurt his cause, as Ickler led nearly every lap from start to finish in winning the season opening NASCAR Home Tracks 150 presented by Kevin Whitaker Chevrolet. Ickler recorded his fourth career NASCAR Camping World Series East victory and seventh NASCAR Camping World Series victory overall. Veteran Jody Lavender scored a career-best second-place finish, while Eddie MacDonald finished third. Josh Richards and Brett Moffitt, both making their first career NASCAR starts, rounded out the top five.

It's Time For A Change
We've been going to every race for over ten years, including every Showdown held. At each of these races, whenever cars were on the track, we were there to shoot pictures while it was going on and then reported the results when it was over. We'd interview drivers and write feature articles, post a couple hundred photos after the races, and keep up with news, stats, and eventually lap-by-lap race coverage for those who couldn't make it to the races - which was more and more people considering how far-flung the races have become. But it's time for a change. Read More.
