REGIER RUNS CLEAN IN MESSY RACE

San Martin, CA (August 5th) The ASA Western States Supermodified Racing League (WSSRL) saw Regier return to the winners circle while celebrated it's first of five events under its new ASA sanctioning and debut on national television with their title sponsor Go Fast Sports & Beverage Company. Events will be televised on the Outdoor Life Network in partnership with the ASA Speed Truck Challenge.

It's almost always expected of Troy Regier to win his races at the Madera Speedway. Yearly there, he has been untouched in past races and Saturday was no different as he won the "Al Pombo Classic" featuredthe legendary ASA Western States Supermodified Racing League 410 Supermodifieds. Regier returned to form to win the 75-lap main event. Once he took the lead after lap 10, barring significant damage to his car, he was practically assured a win.


It was quite contrary to his last race at the Speedway. Though it wasn't an impostor driving Regier's signature powder blue car, it was a different site that race fans were used to seeing Regier not winning. In that race on May 6, Regier trailed the entire time and finished fourth. Reiger made sure that would not happen again as he picked up his 61st career main event win.

"It feels good to win again," Regier said. "Last time we were here, we weren't ourselves. We tried to do stuff on the car, we were lucky to get fourth place last time. Now we're back to our old selves.'

In the beginning of the race Regier, started near the back but quickly moved to the front.

"Tonight was almost just easy," Regier said. "They gave me a super good car, which made the passing so easy it was almost wrong."

The closest driver to catching Regier was Clovis' A.J. Russell. Regier had saved enough fire power for the end and pulled away with 10 laps to go.

Like Regier, Russell was near the back of the race at the start. Russell made it clear he wouldn't be back there for long and continued to climb up the leader board and eventually got into Regier's rear view mirror.

"It was really pretty easy," Regier said. "I was cruising the whole race and I saw him get into second, I saved my tires up to that point and turned up the wick, I ran some fast laps and it was no sweat."
Just like last season when Regier easily won both of his races at Madera, he jumped out to the early lead and was the chased car. He got out in front of Eric Silsby and Kirk Wartman. On lap 26, a caution brought the cars back together side by side. Regier was lined up with Silsby but continued his strong hold on first place by getting solid take off on the restart. On lap 52, he started to lap a series of cars and stayed ahead until the finish line. A.J. Russell came in second, while Silsby finished third.

Though Regier had thought of hanging up the helmet and calling it quits at the end of last season, a new television deal now has him gunning for 100 wins. "My last five races will be televised on TV," Regier said. "It might make this deal go big time. That might help get a big sponsorship from that like the league."
