paulgarrow Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 It may not have been a points race. Tremont's car was scheduled to be driven by Chase Dowling tonight. Dowling to Drive Tremont Modified at Lebanon Valley Published at May 22, 2014 in Lebanon Valley and Stafford. Closed Chase Dowling of Roxbury, CT will make his dirt Modified debut Saturday night at Lebanon Valley Speedway in West Lebanon, NY. Dowling will drive the Tremont Racing #115x in the $3,000 to win Maynard Forrette Modified Memorial Race. S&S Asphalt Paving, a mutual sponsor of Dowling and Tremont, supported Dowling driving the car. “(He) has some talent and has a lot of history to him,” Dowling said of Tremont, a 13-time Lebanon Valley Big Block Modified champion. “Just an experience in itself to learn from him.” “I been going up there for a while and watching since I was little and racing Go Karts,” Dowling said. “(I) never thought I would have a chance to race there and was shocked when the owner of S&S and the Tremont Racing Team told me I was going to race this year.” “The dirt Modified are a whole different animal,” Dowling said. “A lot more motor and the suspension is way different. Everything is different. I raced dirt Go Karts and dirt USAC but nothing comparable to a dirt Modified. Just going to go out there (to) have a good time and be grateful of the experience I’m getting and hopefully get some results along the way.” A Stafford Motor Speedway Rookie of the Year candidate, Dowling is currently eighth in SK Modified® points after two events with a best finish of third at the NAPA Auto Parts Spring Sizzler.

HRDProStock Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 It was a points race. He just made the better choice and put family first. Good for Brett. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlouisb131 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Did his Hauler show up last night.If they brought his hauler up I could possibly see show up points.But if the hauler wasn't there then there's no reason at all for any points to be received.I also thought show up points were only 20.

paulgarrow Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Malta also gives 20 points of your car comes and you don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlouisb131 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Paul Garrow I was telling my dad if Hearn's car was there,then I have no problem with being awarded 20 points.He could make a last second appearance.I remember one night back about 3-5 years ago Tremont didn't pull in until it was time for heat races.My question is was Hearn's car physically there.

Scott Friers Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 If you don't attempt to qualify how can you get show up points? Driver receives points....not the car.....if you're not physically there no points should be awarded. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Fremouw Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 So basically the drivers that weren't there last night got show up points because there kids were graduating most tracks make those nights a non points show or just give show up points to the drivers that could make it as long as everyone that missed the show for graduation purposes got points then there is nothing to complain about. Now if he is the only one that wasn't there because of the graduation then give him show up points you shouldn't punish a driver for putting there family first.

Scott Friers Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 So you give Brett a pass then everyone deserves a pass regardless of the event. I applaud Brett for putting family first. However life is full of choices and those choices come with consequences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are some of the tracks that run non points shows on graduation night? None of the tracks around here (Eastern half of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware) do that. I have never even heard of any track doing that until this thread. Before the Internet, I used to get my AARN on Wednesday or Thursday and hand compute the points at many New York state Modified tracks. I don't even remember any track having non-point shows due to possible graduation conflicts. What about mid-May, when there are typically college graduations? Should those be non-point shows as well? The entire months of May and June could just be non-points shows because those are popular wedding months ^_^ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22racingteam Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I went past Malta Saturday around 4pm and his hauler was still there. Why didnt he put a replacement driver in the car for the night? Arent you allowed to use a replacement driver 1 time a year? I know this was done at Malta this season and at fonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mh37 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I don't know where you got that information. As the handicapper that does the points you're wrong. Brett received NO points. It also was a regular points race. The guy went to his daughters graduation (like he should). End of story! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtracer16c Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 All I can say is watch the points closely this week and you will see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheryl Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 He was absent. Zero points. He had 204 points as of last Saturday, 5\17. That is what he will have as of 5\24. Per handicapping rules, a driver must attempt to qualify for any points to be awarded. There is no "substitute driver" rule in effect at Lebanon Valley.

Cheryl Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Just an FYI. The updated points are posted. 204 for Hearn. Tied for 5th place with Kyle Sheldon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
