 EPPING, N.H. -- Bobby Webber Racing is rolling into the 2024 race season looking to pounce and capture multiple checkered flags. The full event schedule for the New Hampshire based team includes events in the Super Late Models (Pro Stocks) and Modifieds across multiple states, with around 35 races planned in New England and beyond. Jeffrey Battle, a three-time Star Speedway 350 Supermodified champion, will drive the No. 19 Tour-Type Modified for select events and also compete in a 604 Modified for the team. Battle will contest a majority of his races at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park in their new division, while also running select other events in New England in both the 604 Modified and Tour-Type car. Battle enters the season as a Rookie in the Modified with very few starts. Rusty Poland, a driver who has been to Victory Lane in multiple different racing divisions, returns to the team for the second year. Poland will drive the majority of the Pro All Star Series (PASS) Pro Stock schedule and select additional events with the Granite State Pro Stock Series and CARS Tour throughout the year. The team is amped up for what is anticipated to be a busy, but successful season.

The Friday, September 15 event is set for 100 laps in the Outside Groove Saloon 100 and BWR is happy to welcome Poland to the team. BWR Pro Stock driver Bryan Kruczek has been busy with work and home commitments and will not be able to race this event. Bryan hopes to be in attendance to help the team next Friday night. "I was honestly taken back when Bobby asked me if I was interested in driving the car, they have top notch equipment and are a threat everywhere they go," Poland said. "So, for me, it was a no brainer to say yes to it. Webber has supported me for a really long time as a friend and helped with sponsorship here and there. I'm beyond excited to try to get the entire Bobby Webber Racing team a trophy at their biggest race of the year. I always tell everyone the Star Classic is some of the best racing, camping and overall fan experience you can have in the New England area. I'm just a lucky guy to be able to drive that car and work with some friends to chase a trophy." Webber is excited to battle for the gold. The Star Classic is certainly a major event for the Bobby Webber Racing team and the group has been to Victory Lane at Star multiple times the last few years. "We're happy to welcome Rusty to the team for this major event at our home track," Webber said. "We look forward to welcoming Bryan back behind the wheel down the line, but Rusty will fill the seat with experience and proven success behind him at Star for this race. We're planning to go there and chase the win. Capturing another victory during Star Classic weekend would be major for the team." For more information on Bobby Webber Racing, visit BobbyWebberRacingLLC.com and follow the team on Facebook for the latest news and information.   A win is always worth celebrating. A win at a home track is always that much more special. And then there are wins like Bryan Kruczek’s Friday-night victory at Star Speedway.
The veteran racer from Newmarket, N.H. held off Joey Doiron in a 28-lap green-flag run, winning the Ty Cooper Land Holdings 100 to close out the Granite State Pro Stock Series’ 2022 season. And while Kruczek has won three out of the last four GSPSS races at Star, Friday had a deeper significance to his Bobby Webber Racing team. “We messed it up one time there last fall,” Kruczek said, reflecting on his streak of success at the track owned by his car owner. “We made it a point this year that this was one we were gonna win.” Friday’s racing not only kicked off Star Classic Weekend at the track owned by the Webber family, but commemorated the 75th birthday of track patriarch Bob Webber, who lost his battle with cancer in 2018. Kruczek rolled off fourth on the grid and followed outside polesitter Rusty Poland to the front on the first lap as they cleared polesitter Travis Benjamin. Poland held the point for nine laps before Kruczek worked his way past to take the lead. While Poland fell into the clutches of Doiron and Brandon Barker, Kruczek set sail. As Kruczek managed slower traffic, Doiron passed Poland for second, setting his sights on the leader. The newly-crowned GSPSS champion had been in a similar spot just a week before in the Freedom 300 at Lee USA Speedway, waiting until later in the race to pounce on a fading Kruczek. That, in itself, was a repeat of the GSPSS-sanctioned Granite State Derby at Lee in May. Sure enough, as the race approached halfway, Doiron began to trim time from Kruczek’s advantage, closing in on the leader’s bumper in traffic. As the leaders cleared a cluster of slow cars on lap 72, though, one car clipped Doiron on his way past, sending the champion for a slide through turn three. Doiron gathered his car up, but the cars scattering in his mirror brought out the race’s first caution flag, eliminating the rest of Kruczek’s margin. The two frontrunners lined up nose-to-tail for the restart, with Casey Call and Vinnie Arrenegado, Jr. gambling on a choose-cone option to restart second and fourth. Kruczek was faster to the gas for the restart, with Doiron following through to take second. But Kruczek’s car was hooked up on the short run, and with slower traffic a whole race track ahead, there was little opportunity for Doiron to wait for an obstacle to slow the determined leader. Kruczek crossed the line just under seven tenths of a second ahead of Doiron to sweep the 2022 races at his team’s home track. “I was still saving when I was riding out front,” he said. “Just running my line, not sliding the thing. That’s what I’ve learned from the same guy all the time, and he’s pretty good.” Doiron, fastest on the clock in time trials, started back in sixth and felt like he was a step behind from the drop of the green. “It’s just one of those nights where the draw kind of hurts you,” he said. “I felt like me and Bryan were pretty equal. I was pretty tight. I feel like if I could have beaten him to the front, it would have probably been a different story, but he got to the front first.” Bobby Webber takes great pains to pay tribute to those who have helped grow the speedway over the years. Bobby’s children, Tim and Jaime, have their own roles at the track as well. Kruczek teamed up with Webber’s race team in 2019, steering Bobby Webber Racing entries to victories with the American-Canadian Tour, the GSPSS, and even at New Smyrna Speedway’s World Series. When Webber’s race cars are idle, Kruczek pitches in at Star. From the outside, Kruczek is part of the family. And with Bob Webber looking on from the hood of Kruczek’s mount, the whole Webber family was able to celebrate Friday night. Unofficial Results, GSPSS Ty Cooper Land Holdings 100 at Star Speedway: 1.

(05F) Bobby Frappier DNS (82) Bobby Baillargeon  EPPING, N.H. -- On Friday night, Bryan Kruczek will return to the seat of the No. 19 Pro Stock for Bobby Webber Racing, looking to capture a big win at Star Speedway.
The Granite State Pro Stock Series will help open the 57th annual Star Classic weekend -- one that includes three straight days of racing and at least 13 different divisions of action. Kruczek is no stranger to Victory Lane at Star -- winning the last two spring Pro Stock races. This time, he hopes to seal the deal in the fall. The team is ready to complete what will be a third straight week of racing with the Pro Stock -- scoring a top-five finish at Hudson Speedway on Labor Day weekend, and leading over half of the race at Lee USA Speedway last weekend -- before finishing a strong second with a broken exhaust. "With the Classic, we're ending a busy three weeks for us," team owner Bobby Webber Jr. said. "We have been doing well with a fifth and a second. I've been trying to not put a lot of pressure on the guys in the shop, but the Star Classic, it means a lot to me. First, it's at home, right in front of all of our family and friends. Friday also would have been my dad's 75th birthday. What better way to honor the man who taught me and paved the way for everything I have today then to go out there and win the race that means the most to him on his birthday." Kruczek will not have an easy task, racing against some of the best in New England for 100 circuits around the bullring. Friday night racing at Star begins at 6:30 p.m. with qualifying time trials and heat races. The full weekend pass for general admission is $65 per person. Tickets are available for each day alone, including Friday night. The Pure Stocks, Six Shooters and Slingshots will also be on the card for Friday. For more information on the 57th annual Star Classic, fans are encouraged to visit StarSpeedwayNH.com.  Photo: Rich Hayes EPPING, N.H. -- This Friday night, Bobby Webber Racing will hit the track with Bryan Kruczek at Lee USA Speedway, chasing a big $10,000 prize. The team will compete in the Granite State Pro Stock Series Keen Parts 150 -- one of the biggest races of the entire season.
A few weeks ago, Kruczek competed in the return of weekly Pro Stocks to Lee, setting a track record that night, and also grabbing a podium finish. In May, Kruczek finished second at Lee with the Granite State Pro Stock Series. This time, he wants one more spot for the ultimate goal. "I want to get this win at Lee because we're racing the best of the best," team owner Bob Webber Jr. said. "I want to show people how much we have matured as a team. We went to Lee to get some test laps two weeks ago, set a track record and led a lot of laps. I feel like we have a good start going into the Keen Parts 150." The team will be competing with their Port City Race Cars chassis, the same car that they won with at New Smyrna Speedway in Florida during the World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing. "We have to thank Gary Crooks and his team at Port City for sure," Webber continued. "When we talked about switching chassis builders, all I asked was for his help and guidance when we needed it. He has gone above and beyond. I'm hoping for big things on Friday -- we are really close to landing a major replacement sponsor and a win at Lee on Friday would be great." Racing at Lee USA Speedway begins on Friday at 6 p.m. and also includes the Whitcomb 5 Series Modified 125. For more information, visit LeeUSASpeedway.com.

EPPING, N.H. -- Just under two weeks from winning the Granite State Pro Stock Series Hedges Excavating 100 at Star Speedway, Bobby Webber Racing is heading back to the track looking to make it two straight victories this weekend. The BWR team is set to compete in the inaugural Granite State Derby presented by USA Insulation on Saturday, May 21, at Lee USA Speedway, with the Granite State Pro Stock Series 100. Bryan Kruczek will wheel the No. 19 Pro Stock in competition around a track where he feels at home. Kruczek picked up 10 wins during the 2021 season in Lee's Late Model Sportsman division and knows his way around the track, with many laps, over many years, in his past at Lee. This event means even more for Bobby Webber Racing, as Lee USA Speedway and the Wrenn family (track owners) stepped up as a sponsor of the team for a trip south to compete with the CARS Tour in March, where the logo for the Granite State Derby was on the hood of the No. 19 ride. Kruczek wheeled to a sixth-place finish that day sporting the Lee logo, and will look to get back to Victory Lane this time around. The event at Lee is promoted by JDV Productions and also includes the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour's return to the New Hampshire track for the first time in two decades. "Racing the Granite State Derby was always on my mind," team owner Bobby Webber Jr., said. "The support that the Wrenn family has provided to our race team this year has been huge. It's only natural that we make our way to Lee to be there for them and Josh Vanada, the owner of JDV Productions, the promoters of the race. We have good momentum on our team from our win at Star. Bryan is enjoying the no pressure situation of just racing for wins and not watching points. We should be able to run up front and contend for the win, after Lee was our home track last year. I'll be thinking of the team during the day when we complete a full card of racing over at Star, but as soon as we throw the final checkered flag, we will be headed North on Route 125 to Lee." Prior to racing at Lee, fans should check out the racing at Star Speedway in Epping, New Hampshire, a track operated by BWR owner Bobby Webber Jr. The action begins at 12:30 p.m. and tickets are just $15 for adults or two for $25. Kids 10 and under are free into Star Speedway for a show that includes four divisions of racing. After the Star show concludes, fans will have plenty of time to head up the road to Lee for the feature action during the Granite State Derby. Tickets for the inaugural Granite State Derby presented by USA Insulation are available in advance at JDVProductions.com and will also be available at the track on race day. General admission for the event is $40. The Granite State Pro Stock Series feature should hit the track somewhere around 5 p.m. and will air live on RacingAmerica.TV for those who can't make it to the track.

Photo: Rob Branning EPPING, N.H. – The Granite State Pro Stock Series schedule marched forth on Saturday night, with Bryan Kruczek taking a decisive win at his team’s home track. Kruczek led a seventy-lap caution-free run to the checkers to pick up his second career GSPSS victory in the Hedges Excavating 100 at Star Speedway.
The Newmarket, N.H. racer, who drives for track owner Bobby Webber, Jr., delivered the Webber family their first GSPSS win in last May’s Hedges Excavating 100. Not satisfied with a second-place run in the GSPSS’ fall visit to Star, Kruczek and Webber set out for a strong repeat performance this year. And Kruczek delivered, winning everything but the afternoon’s “Star Derby” exhibition and the pre-race redraw. Kruczek was fastest on the stopwatch in time trials, then bested Jimmy Renfrew, Jr. in their heat race. Renfrew drew the pole position in the redraw, with Kruczek lining up second. Renfrew led the opening circuits, but by lap nine, Kruczek had slipped past his young rival and into the lead. On a lap-30 restart, though, Renfrew jumped the gun on Kruczek, drawing a penalty and earning a trip to the rear of the field. Luke Hinkley drew alongside Kruczek for the next attempt, with Kruczek making a clean break at the drop of the green. Hinkley settled into second as Kruczek showed the way, hoping for a late caution flag on which to capitalize. But with clean racing through the field, no late yellow flag came out to threaten Kruczek’s advantage. Instead, Kruczek cruised unchallenged to his second series win and his sixth Pro Stock/Late Model win since teaming up with Webber in 2019. Hinkley held on for second, his third-straight GSPSS runner-up finish dating back to last fall. The veteran racer from Claremont, N.H. is knocking loudly on the door for his first touring win. John Peters finished third in his first series start since 2018. The Maine native, who towed in from his home in North Carolina, has podium finishes in his last three GSPSS outings, all at Star Speedway. Joey Doiron, the 2019 GSPSS champion, drove Jake Dore’s #05 to a fourth-place finish, edging out Connecticut’s Cory Casagrande, who finished fifth. Renfrew, the championship hopeful, drove back to a sixth-place finish after his early penalty, unable to recreate the magic of his 2018 win at Star. Nick Cusack, Dylan Estrella, Casey Call and a visiting Derek Gluchacki rounded out the top ten. With two of this year’s nine events in the books, Luke Hinkley sits atop the points standings. While the veteran has never chased a series championship, his results so far could have him considering the possibility. The next race for the Granite State Pro Stock Series is the Live Free 100 at Lee USA Speedway on May 21st. “New Hampshire’s Center of Speed” will welcome the GSPSS twice this year, with this visit part of the track’s inaugural Granite State Derby featuring the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour.

(77) Jeremy Sorel  EPPING, N.H. -- Bobby Webber Racing (BWR) announced today that Lee USA Speedway will serve as the hood sponsor of the No. 19 Pro Late Model for the upcoming CARS Tour race at Greenville-Pickens Speedway on Saturday, April 9. With driver Bryan Kruczek, BWR will make their debut in CARS competition at one of the most historic tracks in the south. It will mark the fifth race of the season for the Pro Late Model effort -- coming off a successful Speedweeks in Florida in February -- where Bryan picked up a victory at the World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing. The Lee sponsorship on the hood will showcase the logo for the inaugural Granite State Derby at Lee on Saturday, May 21. The event will take place during the early to mid-afternoon, and will be followed up by a Saturday evening special, just down the street, at BWR's home, Star Speedway. This means race fans will have the opportunity to attend both events in the same day at two of New Hampshire's best tracks. The Lee event includes the return of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour for the first time since 1998. The busy night of racing at Star will include the 350 Supermodifieds, Ken Izzett Construction Late Models, Drivers Choice King of the Pure Stocks and Six Shooters races and the Woody's Auto Street Stocks. It will be the perfect day of racing for short-track fans. "We feel this is a great tie in for both of the tracks and we're thankful for Lee to come on the car and support our efforts to head back south," Bobby Webber Jr., team owner, said. "With us working together to have the schedules flow so fans can attend both races, it's a huge positive for the race fans. What better way to show the fans that we are working together then to promote the days doubleheader at our Pro Late Model during the Greenville-Pickens race. We hope fans will be able to watch the race on CarsTour.TV." The CARS Tour race at Greenville-Pickens Speedway will take place on Saturday, April 9. A full schedule for the race will be available soon. Tickets will also be available at the track for those who will be in the area to cheer the BWR team on in person. For those who can't make it, you can purchase a PPV broadcast on CarsTour.TV to watch the action. You can also follow Bobby Webber Racing on Facebook for the latest news and information. "It is great to see Norm Wrenn and Bobby Webber working together. They were able to find a way for both tracks to race on the day of the Inaugural Granite State Derby, when we bring the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour back to Lee for the first time in over two decades," Josh Vanada, owner of JDV Productions, who will promote the Lee event, said. "To now see Norm's support of Bobby Webber Racing at Greenville Pickens, it just goes to show that cooperation amongst short tracks can happen. It's an action that is at the heart of what the New Hampshire Short Track Racing Association and Star Speedway is trying to cultivate."

KINGSTON, N.H. -- After a successful tenure down south at New Smyrna Speedway, winning a Pro Late Model race and scoring a top-five finish in the Sportsman division at the World Series, it's time for the Bobby Webber Racing team to get back to work this weekend. The Indoor Auto Racing Championship Series, operated by Len Sammons Productions, rolls to Syracuse, New York, for the Indoor races on Friday, March 11 and Saturday, March 12.
It will be the third different car and third different driver to sit behind the wheel for Bobby Webber Racing so far during the 2022 season. And this time, it's a proven winner, just like before. Joey Payne, better known to some as the "Jersey Jet", will drive the No. 19 Little Webb's Tires and Fuel machine against some of the toughest competition in the Indoor racing world. Payne is no stranger to Indoor Racing, as a multiple-time winner and frontrunner for many years. Outside, on the asphalt, Payne is a well-known standout in Supermodifieds, Midgets and more. Payne has been victorious in just about every single vehicle he has driven over his career and should be a major threat when the green flag drops on the Syracuse Indoor races this weekend. That's exactly why team owner Bobby Webber Jr. selected the "Jersey Jet" to get behind the wheel. The car, No. 19, has been sitting quiet. The last time it ran, oddly enough, was when Justin Bonsignore, a three-time NASCAR champion, drove it to Victory Lane for Bobby Webber Racing at Syracuse. Payne is hoping to pick up right where the team left off. "It's funny because I was actually watching Atlantic City on TV with my wife and I texted Bobby and told him we should have got the car together, but with everything he had going on for Florida, it just didn't work," Payne said. Payne, who didn't drive in the Indoor race at Atlantic City -- his first missed Indoor race in a while -- isn't concerned at all going into the weekend with himself, or the car. He knows they will be contenders. And Payne also knows that team owner Bobby Webber Jr. only has one goal when going to the track: win. "Definitely the goal," Payne said. "I grew up in these cars, it's just like riding a bike for me." "I'm really looking forward to working with Joey for this one-off weekend," Bobby Webber Jr., team owner, said. "We both race with a chip on our shoulder and we both want nothing more than to park the No. 19 in Victory Lane at Syracuse." The team wishes to thank Poland Family Racing (44) and Foster Racing (812) along with all of our additional partners and team members for the help to make it all happen. Racing begins on Friday night at 7:30PM with three, 20-lap, TQ Midget features set to headline the night. On Saturday, all the action gets underway with a fan party in the pits at 5:30PM, followed by the drop of the green flag for racing at 7:30PM. The headlining race of the weekend will be the 40-lap TQ Midget feature to close the night. Bobby Webber Racing is looking forward to returning to the Indoor Auto Racing world this weekend with hopes of bringing home a trophy.
