MITCHELL SWEEPS AMP DOUBLE HEADER WEEKEND
Wendy Bohonek
AMP Series Press Release
www.ampseries.com
June 08
Anticipation was in the air as haulers began arriving at Central Arkansas Speedway,
Plummerville AR. If Saturday's show was going to be anything like the night before at Beebe
Speedway, the fans were in for a real treat. Joining the field for the AMP event was Kevin
Fike, Collierville TN and Stormy Deeryberry, Monticello AR. Regular AMP drivers, Andy
Hockenhull and Rachel York were on hand to help support their fellow comrades even
though they were unable to compete themselves due to mechanical issues from Friday's
event. After the previous night of excitement the drivers and fans were pumped and ready
to make some noise.
Once the dust settled from nineteen late super late models taking a few hotlaps, drivers
made their final adjustments to the car, and the heat racing action got underway. Each of the
three heat races brought with them a good mixture of new and experienced talent. Jeff
Wells Jr, Trumann AR, Ian Samuel, Trumann AR and Billy Moyer Jr, Batesville AR, were the
young guns who finished one, two, and three in the first heat.
Jon Mitchell, Texarkana TX and Kyle Beard, Trumann AR started the evening out where they
left off the night before, racing for the first and second positions, while Charlie Cole,
Marianna AR who has demonstrated some strong runs as of late, was right there with the
leaders for a third place finish to put in the books.
Jon Kirby, Russellville AR, teammate Dwaine Hottinger also from Russellville, with Shane
Diamant, Maumelle AR tore it up with the hammer down to end the heat races for the
evening.
With the feature race just getting started, the cars entered turn one after the initial drop of
the green flag and they were already three wide. Yep! I smacked my lips, Beebe brought the
appetizer and main course, and Central was serving up the desert, we were going racin!
Wells Jr, Kirby, and Beard were still three wide as they came out of turn three. Once they
settled down to a perfect rhythm it was Mitchell out front with Kirby, Wells Jr, Beard,
Hottinger, Moyer Jr and Gary Scott Christian making up the top six positions. Mitchell
began to pull away from the group when the first caution came. Charlie Cole pulled into the
infield, removed the hood of his #2 machine and was forced to call it a night. On the restart
Samuel, Tippen, Diamant, Henson, Fisher, Murry, Deeryberry, Leal and Skinner who made up
the rest of the field, were ready to contend with the top six leaders. After a few laps Mitchell
again starts to pull away from the group, while Kirby, Beard, Wells Jr, Moyer Jr, Hottinger,
and Christian fall behind in single file. This drew our attention to the racing battle going on
in the middle of the pack as Tippen, Diamant, and Samuel exchange the lead and a little paint
as they work for the eighth through tenth spots. The next group of hard chargers were
Henson, Fisher, and Murry who were putting on a good show as they attempted to move
forward. Once the leaders hit lap traffic, Beard was able to get around Kirby, but Mitchell
had command and had gained a comfortable lead. The second caution of the evening came
with mechanical woes for Terry Henson, but he wasn't alone, Tippen and Hottinger left the
field with their own mechanical issues. On the restart Mitchell with his foot on the gas puts
some distance between himself and Beard. Kirby, Wells Jr, Moyer Jr, and Christian again fell
in behind in a single file fashion as Diamant was able to get around the 86B of Ian Samuel
after a little back-n-forth racing between themselves and Clay Fisher adding to the mix. With
the exception of Wells Jr getting alittle loose and sideways between turns three and four,
but regaining control and holding on to his fourth place, the last few laps were uneventful.
As the dust swarmed it was Jon Mitchell in his #5 GRT by Catman who able to have his cake
and ice cream too, as he sweeps the weekend by winning both AMP events. Mitchell, who
has won the last three AMP events, under went a post race inspection was found to be
legal. Not only was it nice payday weekend for Jon, he is now leading the AMP point
standings. You may want to keep a close eye on the AMP point standings by visiting the
AMP website, because the drivers will be in action again next weekend with a double
header and who knows how the points will shake down. If you are hungry for some great
racing, come out and see the AMP drivers, you will leave satisfied and full!

Monticello Hosts the AMP Regulars for the 1st Annual Kenneth Mitcham Memorial Race
With the track rolled in, and hot laps completed, it was time for the AMP heat races to get
underway. As each heat race finished, the fans were given an early indication of how strong
the field of competition was going to be for the 16 Late Models that would later make up the
30 lap Kenneth Mitcham Memorial Feature event.
Out of the bull pen first leading all 10 laps of his heat race was AMP 2007 defending
Champion Jon “Catman” Mitchell. Mitchell had some close company in tow as the 2007
Rookie of the Year, Kyle Beard, and the current AMP points leader Allen Tippen charged in a
one-two-three succession across the start finish line to get the evening heated up.
Next on the track was “Charging Charlie” Cole whose strong run was able to duplicate the
previous heat race and he to led all ten laps. As Cole saw the checkered flag, he brought
with him the March 30th defending Monticello AMP Feature winner Jeff Chanler, and well
known local driver Doug Showah.
With two heat races down and one to go, the third heat raced, proved to be a triple hitter.
Jody Prince, Sibley LA, led all ten laps followed by a fellow statesman Mark Andrews, Marion
LA, and “The Rocket” Terry Henson of North Little Rock AR. As the dust settled and the
engines were briefly quieted, the fans were able to catch their breath and begin to ponder
their stacked and packed feature line-up.
Feature races are always started with the past, and “the past” is usually from a short time
ago, a result of a heat race, and within the same night. For tonight’s race we went a little
further into the past, to last year’s season, to get things started. The first two cars to make
their way onto the field were two modified cars. These cars were the honorary pace cars for
the Kenneth Michem Memorial Feature Race and were being piloted by Mitchem’s nephew
and son-in-law. A tribute about Kenneth was read to his family and fans. As part of the
ceremony Monticello Speedway also extended sympathy to the Mitchem family with a
bouquet of flowers that were placed on the back of one of the pace cars in memory of
Kenneth’s father who passed away last week. Although the racing community is passionate
about some good ole fashion, fender rubbing racing, they are just as compassionate to
remember and honor those that they have lost due to the sport they are a part of. Once the
driver introductions and the four wide salute led by Mitchem’s family was complete, the fans
were on their feet, and the drivers were ready to honor a fellow competitor and friend by
doing what they know and love most race.
At the drop of the green flag the race was on. As 16 cars flew past the flag stand and made
their way around the track, Jon Mitchell would be the one out front to lead the first lap.
Doug Showah would hit hard on a retaining tire on lap two to bring out the first caution, do
damage to his car and ultimately end his night. Mitchell led the first four laps with Beard,
Chanler, Tippen, and Cole rounding out the top five. On lap five Beard would get around
Michell and take the lead as the remaining three drivers mixed it up some but continued to
hold onto the top five spots.
Beard would lead the next eleven laps. Mitchell would reach the bumper of the eighty-six
but was unable to get around him until lap twenty-four when Mitchell slide around Kyle for
the lead and held on to bring home the checker flag, with Beard finishing second.
As Beard and Mitchell raced for the first two spots the rest of the field was busy as well. The
man on the move was Arkansas driver Mike Bowers who by lap eleven moved from his tenth
starting spot up to sixth. After a caution on lap twelve, the restart proved eventful for Jeff
Chanler. Chanler who restarted fourth dropped below the cone and was penalized and
forced to move to the rear of the field. This put the defending feature race winner on an up
hill battle, but he forged through and was able to bring home a eighth place finish. Tippen
moved into the third position which he had command over since lap four, held it to the
finish. Bower’s was able to get around Cole and would take home a fourth place finish for
his efforts. Cole was able to hold off Andrews, Henson and Taylor as they mixed it back-n-
forth for fifth place bragging rights. Terry Henson who had another great night brought it
home in sixth, while Taylor finished seventh. Mark Andrews and Clay Fisher rounded out
the top ten. Rookie of the Year contender Jeff Wells Jr finished eleventh, Andy Hockenhull
finished twelfth, and Rachel York who had an ill handling car was able to finish in the
thirteenth spot. Wells Jr, Hockenhull, and York make up three of the seven drivers who are
qualified for the AMP 100% Bonus Award along with Tippen, Mitchell, Beard, and Fisher,
making it a profitable night in more than one way.

SEMS will be looking for several places to finish up Saturday night at Monticello Speedway.

loss of position for the evening. There have been several nights that a first place racer will

their night efforts.

is a pleasure to work with so many wonderful people that surrounds the Monticello
Community this year.
Southeast Emergency Medical Services is staffed with skilled and certified EMT's and

BEARD FINDS THE HIGH GROOVE TO HIS LIKING DURING FRIDAY NIGHTS AMP FEATURE RACE
AT BEEBE SPEEDWAY.
5/10/08, Beard finds the high groove to his liking during Friday nights AMP feature race at
Beebe Speedway. Starting 20th position in the pack, Kyle Beard had his work cut out for
him, if he wanted to make his presence known. He began his charge to the front by holding
his #86 GRT by Frye, Samuels Performance Engine tight on the inside groove of Kenny
Morden’s ¼ mile dirt oval. The inside groove proved to make him some headway, but when
he decided to give the outside cushin a try he found the sweet spot that enabled him
to begin picking off his fellow competitors at a steady pace. Grabbing the crowds attention
he soared around the topside of the track with lightning speed. As he passed the
leader the fans responded with clapping and cheers, and continued to honor the young gun
from Trumann AR as he climbed out of his car in victory lane.
Beard wasn’t the only driver to have a successful evening. AMP points leader Allen Tippen
ran among the top three spots throughout the entire race and finished a close second
behind Beard. Jon “Catman” Mitchell brought his GRT by Catman home with a third place
finish after running among the top five all evening. Ronnie Adams of Longview Texas
earned a respectable fourth place finish. While Russellville’s favorite driver Dewaine
Hottinger took home the fifth place honors. The well-known driver of the #TEN machine
Mike Bowers, of Little Rock placed sixth. Terry Henson of North Little Rock had his career
best finish of the season as he crossed the start finish line in the seventh place. “Kid
Smooth” Billy Moyer Jr had a good points night to add to his fifth place spot in the AMP
points standing by finishing eighth. The #2 Flying C Ranch sponsored car of Charlie Cole
ran another consistent race bringing home a 9th place finish, and the 5W machine of Johnny
Waters, Harrisburg AR rounded out the top ten.

What Will It Take To Be #1: AMP Series Brings Raging Point Battle into Central Arkansas For
Early May Double-Header
(Alexander, AR/April 28, 2008) -- As the AMP Series heads into a double-header weekend on
May 9th & 10th, the AMP Series competitors are facing a tight, early season point’s battle.
How tight? Only 22 points separate 1st from 7th, as the AMP Series prepares to invade
Central Arkansas.
The latest AMP point’s standings have Allen Tippen leading over 2007 AMP Series
Champion, Jon Mitchell and rookie Jeff Wells (tied) by 11 points. Clay Fisher and Billy Moyer
Jr. are well within striking distance at 12 points behind Tippen; while sixth-place, 2007 AMP
Series Rookie of the Year, Kyle Beard and seventh-place Charlie Cole are only separated by
one point and looking to surge towards the top of the standings with a strong performance.
Another AMP rookie, Rachel York (8th) and veteran Terry Henson (9th), are looking to better
their positions in the current standings and hope to come out of the double-header with a
upward points swing into the Top 5. Several members who are looking to move up the AMP
ladder over the weekend with outstanding performances include drivers such as Gary
Beard, Mike Bowers, Kenny Basco, Jon Kirby, Jamie Flannagin, Dewaine Hottinger, Andy
Hockenhull, Gary Christian, Joseph Long, Larry Potter, Shane Diamant, Baron Herndon,

their own as they eye the top spots.

gas prices soaring through the roof, the AMP Series Double-Header is your only cure for
Central Arkansas race fans wanting their local racing fix -- without draining your wallet.

MITCHELL SWEEPS AMP DOUBLE HEADER WEEKEND
Wendy Bohonek
AMP Series Press Release
www.ampseries.com
June 08
Anticipation was in the air as haulers began arriving at Central Arkansas Speedway,
Plummerville AR. If Saturday's show was going to be anything like the night before at Beebe
Speedway, the fans were in for a real treat. Joining the field for the AMP event was Kevin
Fike, Collierville TN and Stormy Deeryberry, Monticello AR. Regular AMP drivers, Andy
Hockenhull and Rachel York were on hand to help support their fellow comrades even
though they were unable to compete themselves due to mechanical issues from Friday's
event. After the previous night of excitement the drivers and fans were pumped and ready
to make some noise.
Once the dust settled from nineteen late super late models taking a few hotlaps, drivers
made their final adjustments to the car, and the heat racing action got underway. Each of the
three heat races brought with them a good mixture of new and experienced talent. Jeff
Wells Jr, Trumann AR, Ian Samuel, Trumann AR and Billy Moyer Jr, Batesville AR, were the
young guns who finished one, two, and three in the first heat.
Jon Mitchell, Texarkana TX and Kyle Beard, Trumann AR started the evening out where they
left off the night before, racing for the first and second positions, while Charlie Cole,
Marianna AR who has demonstrated some strong runs as of late, was right there with the
leaders for a third place finish to put in the books.
Jon Kirby, Russellville AR, teammate Dwaine Hottinger also from Russellville, with Shane
Diamant, Maumelle AR tore it up with the hammer down to end the heat races for the
evening.
With the feature race just getting started, the cars entered turn one after the initial drop of
the green flag and they were already three wide. Yep! I smacked my lips, Beebe brought the
appetizer and main course, and Central was serving up the desert, we were going racin!
Wells Jr, Kirby, and Beard were still three wide as they came out of turn three. Once they
settled down to a perfect rhythm it was Mitchell out front with Kirby, Wells Jr, Beard,
Hottinger, Moyer Jr and Gary Scott Christian making up the top six positions. Mitchell
began to pull away from the group when the first caution came. Charlie Cole pulled into the
infield, removed the hood of his #2 machine and was forced to call it a night. On the restart
Samuel, Tippen, Diamant, Henson, Fisher, Murry, Deeryberry, Leal and Skinner who made up
the rest of the field, were ready to contend with the top six leaders. After a few laps Mitchell
again starts to pull away from the group, while Kirby, Beard, Wells Jr, Moyer Jr, Hottinger,
and Christian fall behind in single file. This drew our attention to the racing battle going on
in the middle of the pack as Tippen, Diamant, and Samuel exchange the lead and a little paint
as they work for the eighth through tenth spots. The next group of hard chargers were
Henson, Fisher, and Murry who were putting on a good show as they attempted to move
forward. Once the leaders hit lap traffic, Beard was able to get around Kirby, but Mitchell
had command and had gained a comfortable lead. The second caution of the evening came
with mechanical woes for Terry Henson, but he wasn't alone, Tippen and Hottinger left the
field with their own mechanical issues. On the restart Mitchell with his foot on the gas puts
some distance between himself and Beard. Kirby, Wells Jr, Moyer Jr, and Christian again fell
in behind in a single file fashion as Diamant was able to get around the 86B of Ian Samuel
after a little back-n-forth racing between themselves and Clay Fisher adding to the mix. With
the exception of Wells Jr getting alittle loose and sideways between turns three and four,
but regaining control and holding on to his fourth place, the last few laps were uneventful.
As the dust swarmed it was Jon Mitchell in his #5 GRT by Catman who able to have his cake
and ice cream too, as he sweeps the weekend by winning both AMP events. Mitchell, who
has won the last three AMP events, under went a post race inspection was found to be
legal. Not only was it nice payday weekend for Jon, he is now leading the AMP point
standings. You may want to keep a close eye on the AMP point standings by visiting the
AMP website, because the drivers will be in action again next weekend with a double
header and who knows how the points will shake down. If you are hungry for some great
racing, come out and see the AMP drivers, you will leave satisfied and full!

Monticello Hosts the AMP Regulars for the 1st Annual Kenneth Mitcham Memorial Race
With the track rolled in, and hot laps completed, it was time for the AMP heat races to get
underway. As each heat race finished, the fans were given an early indication of how strong
the field of competition was going to be for the 16 Late Models that would later make up the
30 lap Kenneth Mitcham Memorial Feature event.
Out of the bull pen first leading all 10 laps of his heat race was AMP 2007 defending
Champion Jon “Catman” Mitchell. Mitchell had some close company in tow as the 2007
Rookie of the Year, Kyle Beard, and the current AMP points leader Allen Tippen charged in a
one-two-three succession across the start finish line to get the evening heated up.
Next on the track was “Charging Charlie” Cole whose strong run was able to duplicate the
previous heat race and he to led all ten laps. As Cole saw the checkered flag, he brought
with him the March 30th defending Monticello AMP Feature winner Jeff Chanler, and well
known local driver Doug Showah.
With two heat races down and one to go, the third heat raced, proved to be a triple hitter.
Jody Prince, Sibley LA, led all ten laps followed by a fellow statesman Mark Andrews, Marion
LA, and “The Rocket” Terry Henson of North Little Rock AR. As the dust settled and the
engines were briefly quieted, the fans were able to catch their breath and begin to ponder
their stacked and packed feature line-up.
Feature races are always started with the past, and “the past” is usually from a short time
ago, a result of a heat race, and within the same night. For tonight’s race we went a little
further into the past, to last year’s season, to get things started. The first two cars to make
their way onto the field were two modified cars. These cars were the honorary pace cars for
the Kenneth Michem Memorial Feature Race and were being piloted by Mitchem’s nephew
and son-in-law. A tribute about Kenneth was read to his family and fans. As part of the
ceremony Monticello Speedway also extended sympathy to the Mitchem family with a
bouquet of flowers that were placed on the back of one of the pace cars in memory of
Kenneth’s father who passed away last week. Although the racing community is passionate
about some good ole fashion, fender rubbing racing, they are just as compassionate to
remember and honor those that they have lost due to the sport they are a part of. Once the
driver introductions and the four wide salute led by Mitchem’s family was complete, the fans
were on their feet, and the drivers were ready to honor a fellow competitor and friend by
doing what they know and love most race.
At the drop of the green flag the race was on. As 16 cars flew past the flag stand and made
their way around the track, Jon Mitchell would be the one out front to lead the first lap.
Doug Showah would hit hard on a retaining tire on lap two to bring out the first caution, do
damage to his car and ultimately end his night. Mitchell led the first four laps with Beard,
Chanler, Tippen, and Cole rounding out the top five. On lap five Beard would get around
Michell and take the lead as the remaining three drivers mixed it up some but continued to
hold onto the top five spots.
Beard would lead the next eleven laps. Mitchell would reach the bumper of the eighty-six
but was unable to get around him until lap twenty-four when Mitchell slide around Kyle for
the lead and held on to bring home the checker flag, with Beard finishing second.
As Beard and Mitchell raced for the first two spots the rest of the field was busy as well. The
man on the move was Arkansas driver Mike Bowers who by lap eleven moved from his tenth
starting spot up to sixth. After a caution on lap twelve, the restart proved eventful for Jeff
Chanler. Chanler who restarted fourth dropped below the cone and was penalized and
forced to move to the rear of the field. This put the defending feature race winner on an up
hill battle, but he forged through and was able to bring home a eighth place finish. Tippen
moved into the third position which he had command over since lap four, held it to the
finish. Bower’s was able to get around Cole and would take home a fourth place finish for
his efforts. Cole was able to hold off Andrews, Henson and Taylor as they mixed it back-n-
forth for fifth place bragging rights. Terry Henson who had another great night brought it
home in sixth, while Taylor finished seventh. Mark Andrews and Clay Fisher rounded out
the top ten. Rookie of the Year contender Jeff Wells Jr finished eleventh, Andy Hockenhull
finished twelfth, and Rachel York who had an ill handling car was able to finish in the
thirteenth spot. Wells Jr, Hockenhull, and York make up three of the seven drivers who are
qualified for the AMP 100% Bonus Award along with Tippen, Mitchell, Beard, and Fisher,
making it a profitable night in more than one way.

BEARD FINDS THE HIGH GROOVE TO HIS LIKING DURING FRIDAY NIGHTS AMP FEATURE RACE
AT BEEBE SPEEDWAY.
5/10/08, Beard finds the high groove to his liking during Friday nights AMP feature race at
Beebe Speedway. Starting 20th position in the pack, Kyle Beard had his work cut out for
him, if he wanted to make his presence known. He began his charge to the front by holding
his #86 GRT by Frye, Samuels Performance Engine tight on the inside groove of Kenny
Morden’s ¼ mile dirt oval. The inside groove proved to make him some headway, but when
he decided to give the outside cushin a try he found the sweet spot that enabled him
to begin picking off his fellow competitors at a steady pace. Grabbing the crowds attention
he soared around the topside of the track with lightning speed. As he passed the
leader the fans responded with clapping and cheers, and continued to honor the young gun
from Trumann AR as he climbed out of his car in victory lane.
Beard wasn’t the only driver to have a successful evening. AMP points leader Allen Tippen
ran among the top three spots throughout the entire race and finished a close second
behind Beard. Jon “Catman” Mitchell brought his GRT by Catman home with a third place
finish after running among the top five all evening. Ronnie Adams of Longview Texas
earned a respectable fourth place finish. While Russellville’s favorite driver Dewaine
Hottinger took home the fifth place honors. The well-known driver of the #TEN machine
Mike Bowers, of Little Rock placed sixth. Terry Henson of North Little Rock had his career
best finish of the season as he crossed the start finish line in the seventh place. “Kid
Smooth” Billy Moyer Jr had a good points night to add to his fifth place spot in the AMP
points standing by finishing eighth. The #2 Flying C Ranch sponsored car of Charlie Cole
ran another consistent race bringing home a 9th place finish, and the 5W machine of Johnny
Waters, Harrisburg AR rounded out the top ten.

Early May Double-Header
(Alexander, AR/April 28, 2008) -- As the AMP Series heads into a double-header weekend on

one point and looking to surge towards the top of the standings with a strong performance.
Another AMP rookie, Rachel York (8th) and veteran Terry Henson (9th), are looking to better
their positions in the current standings and hope to come out of the double-header with a
upward points swing into the Top 5. Several members who are looking to move up the AMP

their own as they eye the top spots.
