Speedyman11 Drives to Second Busch Series Victory

Wednesday, November 16, 2016 lepage71 - Speedyman11 has claimed victory once again! From start to end, he put the 2015-16 NHRL Busch Series championship in little doubt, given his virtuoso performance. Speedy won the opening five races, edged lepage71 and Rookiesrock in the final standings by 60 points, and topped the charts with 7 wins, 11 top-5s, 7 poles, and 431 laps led. Yet despite the numbers, most of his success came in moderate increments, perhaps making them even more impressive. In the races themselves, two-thirds of the margins of victories fell within 5 seconds, with several outcomes decided in the latter laps or with late fuel and tire strategies. Numerous drivers contributed to the drama. In second and third, lepage71 (1) and Rookiesrock (3) drove to several victories of their own. Breeze, meanwhile, won a pole for the second straight season and matched his best finish in the standings in fourth. The biggest story of the season might have been BlackKnight's long-awaited first league victory at Talladega. He executed a courageous late-race pass and held off puttzracer and lepage71 at the line.

Busch Series Competition Returns to NASCAR Heat Racing League

Wednesday, June 10, 2015 lepage71 - 2014-15 is turning out to be a momentous season for the NASCAR Heat Racing League. New rules, tracks, winners, and champions have combined to create a compelling and unpredictable narrative. After hosting a thrilling Truck Series in the fall, the league instituted yellow flags for the first time during the winter and spring Cup Series, a change garnering overwhelmingly good reviews. But perhaps the most significant change this season is not a change at all, but rather a return to a popular classic: the Busch Series and the NBS Mod. The league is delighted to announce its return to Busch racing for the first time since 2013 (2013-14 season). The series will include 12 races: 2 on road courses, 2 on superspeedways, 2 on long ovals, and 6 on intermediate speedways. As expected, Jes Rathbun will be continuing in his role as NHRL caution flag official. Given the close racing that the NBS Mod produces, the debut of caution flags in the Busch Series should make for an explosive mix. Sign up today, or if you fear fun, run away and hide!

DaveO Claims NBS Championship to Change Guard

Wednesday, June 13, 2012 lepage71 - DaveO returned to league competition in 2012 and the results did not disappoint. In fact, they would reach extraordinary heights. At the start of the season, he joined forces with lepage71 to found NHRL Racing, a team based on principles of fairness and sportsmanship. Armed with this new vision, Dave executed a masterful - and consistent - performance over tough competition. Miraculously, he and NHRL Racing accounted for every NBS Series victory in 2012. But perhaps most impressively, Dave managed to finally halt his teammate's dynasty of NBS championships. He separated himself from the field on the strength of a torrid stretch where he collected 9 victories in 13 races. The season, however, was not without challengers, as lepage, Rookiesrock, Hammer, and bover907 were top-5 machines. Additionally, kyle contended early before taking time off for personal matters. BlackKnight and Breeze also had their best seasons and each scored their first top-5 finishes. Rated 5/5 (3 votes). m BlackKnight, cruisectrl, DaveO, Grumpy, lepage71, and Rookiesrock like this.
