Kyle Casper started off the week competing in the Sportsman division, driving the Boyd Technology No. 47 to a sixth-place finish on night one, and a podium third-place effort on night two.
Then, it was time for Bryan Kruczek to take the wheel of the Pro Late Model. Bryan grabbed a top-five finish on night one, but followed up by crashing out on night two after a racing incident. The team worked hard overnight to prepare the car for battle, and just one night later, Bryan wheeled to victory in dramatic fashion with a pass inside the final two laps to take one of the biggest wins of his career, and give Bobby Webber Racing the first team win at New Smyrna. "It was a battle of attrition, I said I was just going to sit back and watch them beat and bang and be there at the right time and I was there for it," Kruczek said. "Happy to be here -- it's a long travel for us. I have to thank all of the guys from the Port City teams for helping us, Boyd Technology and all of the guys and girls on the team... I can't thank everyone enough." Casper's week started with trouble after a flat tire during practice day put the No. 47 in the wall off turn two. The team had to work hard to get the car back together, but it was well worth it -- as Casper prevailed to a podium on the final night of Sportsman racing, a 50-lap feature. "It was a good run," Casper said. "We had been working really hard all weekend to get the car better and it was the best it had been in that final race. I wish we had a few more races to run but we will try again next time." Bobby Webber Racing wishes to thank our dedicated sponsors for their help to get us to New Smyrna for competition at the front of the field.

By Souza Media The Bobby Webber Racing team is ready for double-duty action this weekend in New Hampshire. Set to compete in the annual Octoberfest weekend at Lee USA Speedway, BWR will have two different cars on the track over three days of exciting racing action. This weekend will also begin the annual BWR Breast Cancer Awareness fundraiser, with stickers available for a minimum of a $10 donation towards Breast Cancer Awareness. You can add your loved ones name to the sticker and they will be placed on the cars for the weekend. On Saturday and Sunday, Kyle Casper will make his BWR debut, wheeling the No. 19 Rodfather Late Model Sportsman that has been to Victory Lane 10 times this year with Bryan Kruczek behind the wheel. Both days will include a 40-lap race for the division. On Sunday, while Casper competes in the Sportsman, Kruczek will dig out the Granite State Pro Stock Series car for 100 laps of excitement behind the wheel of the Vynorius machine. "I'm happy to have the opportunity to go to Lee and drive a fast car for a good team," Casper said. "Hopefully I'm able to go out there and add a trophy or two into the Bobby Webber Racing collection." Team owner Bobby Webber Jr. is excited to see how it all plays out in New Hampshire. "I'm looking forward to the big weekend at Lee," Webber said. "I'm glad we can finally give Kyle the opportunity to see what he can do in some top-shelf equipment. Wins would be great for all of the races, but grabbing top-five finishes would be a successful weekend for us. I'm looking forward to giving Kyle some confidence and maybe it will lend to him wheeling the car in Florida in February. For Bryan, we just need a solid run. We were fast at Star then the handling went away late. With Lee being one of our home tracks, I feel as though we will be a strong contender and looking to end our Super Late Model season on a high note." "I look at October as a Cancer Awareness month as a whole," Webber continued. "I lost my Dad to cancer, and my sister-in-law is a breast cancer survivor. My wife's cousin passed away from cancer. It means a lot for me to be able to do this. I hope people will help us to raise a large amount of money for it." Action at Lee includes all three days of racing, starting on Friday night, and running through Sunday. Official schedules for the weekend can be found on the Lee USA Speedway Facebook page and more information can be found online at leeusaspeedway.com.

EPPING, N.H. -- The entire Bobby Webber Racing team, fresh off 10 victories in NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Racing Series action at Lee USA Speedway, is set to dig out the Pro Stock this weekend for some exciting racing. For the first time in just over a month, Bryan Kruczek will wheel the No. 19 Vynorius Piledriving entry in the Vynorius Piledirving 100 at Star Speedway on Friday, September 17. Set to compete with the Granite State Pro Stock Series, Kruczek will look to make it two victories in two starts at Star in the Pro Stock this season. In May, the Bobby Webber Racing driver charged from the back of the field -- on more than one occasion -- to take down the impressive victory. This time around, it means more. The Granite State Pro Stock Series is just the start of a massive weekend of racing at Star for the Star Classic from Friday, September 17 through Sunday, September 19. The Star Classic includes 14 different divisions, and the Pro Stocks take center stage under the lights on Friday night to get it all started. Oddly enough, the race is sponsored by Vynorius Piledriving, the one of the main sponsors of Bobby Webber Racing. Team owner Bobby Webber Jr. would love to hold the trophy at the end of the night, and is looking forward to the competition that will be at the track to kick-off the 56th annual Classic weekend. "Classic weekend has always been a major part of my life," Bobby Webber Jr., team owner, said. "It was my Dad's favorite weekend and race of the year. I've won the Star 350 Classic race with Brad Babb, but I want one of this year's Krupski Cups as a winner of the Vynorius 100. We appreciate all they do for us and hope to park it in Victory Lane for them on Friday night." Friday's schedule includes the pits opening at 4 p.m., with practice to follow shortly after at 5 p.m. The drop of the green flag in time trials is set for 6:30 p.m., while the Pro Stocks will also run in qualifying heats and feature racing. The drop of the green for the Vynorius Piledriving 100 is set for just after 8:30 p.m. Tickets will be available at the gate and are $22 for adults, $20 for seniors/juniors/military, with kids 4-10 set at $5, and those 3 and under free.

EPPING, N.H. -- Bryan Kruczek and the Bobby Webber Racing team have had quite the dream season at Lee USA Speedway in the Rodfather Late Model Sportsman. Driving the Vynorius Piledriving, Hedges Excavating No. 19 machine, Kruczek has nine victories on the season in the competitive division, and will look to make that a double-digit number this Friday, September 3. The Late Model Sportsman will once again compete in double-feature races, as Kruczek enters the event with nine victories to date. Winning a 10th and possibly 11th, race would mean the world to the team, as they are celebrating the life of Stevie Krupski and hoping to end the season in Victory Lane for him. Krupski, a longtime member of the New Hampshire short-track racing community, was close friends with nearly everyone on the Bobby Webber Racing team. Team owner Bobby Webber Jr. is excited to get back to Lee in the season-finale this Friday night to chase more trophies. "Getting to double-digit wins makes a statement, it shows this Boyd Technology car is the real deal," team owner Bobby Webber Jr. said. "If for reasons beyond our control, we can't win the championship we are going to make sure they remember that No. 19 that dominated the 2021 season. Our car was fast right out of the Boyd shop in Florida. We brought it north, unloaded it, won and have never look back. If you give Bryan a good car, at a good track, it's lights out. We couldn't have done it this year without all the awesome partners and sponsors that continue to support Bobby Webber Racing." Without all of the dedicated sponsors and partners of Bobby Webber Racing, winning at this level would not be possible. To see a full list of team supporters, visit the partners page on the website. The team also wishes to thank Boyd Technology for building a bad fast race car.

EPPING, N.H. -- Heading into a busy weekend of racing for the Bobby Webber Racing team, driver Bryan Kruczek will be chasing two wins behind the wheel -- one in a Late Model Sportsman and one in the team Pro Stock. Kruczek will be looking for his eighth victory at Lee USA Speedway on Friday night, July 30, hoping to hoist yet another trophy in the Boyd Technology No. 19, sponsored by Vynorius Piledriving and Hedges Excavating. On Saturday, the team will make the trip to Claremont Motorsports Park to get back into Pro Stock competition with the Granite State Pro Stock Series in their biggest race of the year, a $10,000 special. However, the weekend will mean a lot more to the team other then just chasing a few trophies and the big check. On Friday morning, all of the New Hampshire short-track community learned of the passing of Steve Krupski, a fixture at Star Speedway and other tracks in the area for more than 40 years. Steve was known as the one guy in the pit area you could count on to brighten up your day at the track, no matter how difficult it was going. His sudden passing leaves a sense of shock and sadness over the entire community. But, this weekend, the team goes on to race in his honor. "41 years of dedicated friendship, always a smile on his face and always genuinely happy to see you and spend time with you," team owner Bobby Webber Jr. said in a Facebook post. "I'm so happy I got to see you last Saturday at the SBM at Star, it was like you knew, you knew you needed to see your family one last time. It's one of those days you knew was coming, but one you hoped never would. I'm going to miss you Steve." Kruczek is second in the Lee USA Speedway Rodfather Late Model Sportsman championship battle with seven wins after missing one event, and enters Saturday's Pro Stock special fourth in the Granite State Pro Stock Series championship standings with one victory on the season. Action at Lee on Friday begins at 7 p.m., and Claremont racing begins at 4 p.m. For those who can't make it to the track, Claremont's action will be shown on Speed51.TV beginning at 4 p.m. on Saturday. Lee is not televised. For more information on Bobby Webber Racing, visit bobbywebberracingllc.com and follow the team on Facebook. Additional information regarding services for Steve will be released to the public once made available by his family.  By Souza Media/Kyle Souza
LEE, N.H. -- When it comes to Lee USA Speedway and Bobby Webber Racing this season, the combination is off to one of the most impressive starts in track history. Bryan Kruczek wheeled the No. 19 Boyd Technology, Vynorius Piledriving, Hedges Excavating machine into Victory Lane two more times this past Friday, July 16, sweeping two races in the same night for the Rodfather Late Model Sportsman. The path to victory wasn't easy -- as Kruczek had to work his way through the field in both races and pass for the lead in the final stages. However, when the final results were tallied, Kruczek was carrying the checkered flag and holding two trophies. The race was another round of the Race For the Ring, as Kruczek became the first driver to win more than one race in the series. "It’s a great accomplishment for our BWR team to go out and bring fast cars to the track every week and collect victories and sweep again," Kruczek said. "It's all because of the guys who work hard on this car. This Boyd Technology No. 19 is just on rails, and it’s just fun to drive it and be the guy to chase every week at Lee. I hope we can continue the season we are having there with a few more trophies along the way. " Kruczek also is closing in on the championship lead after missing the season-opener, and should be a threat for the points title as the season comes to a closer late in the summer. The next race for Bobby Webber Racing will be right back at Lee USA Speedway on Friday, July 23, looking for another win with the No. 19.

LEE, N.H. & SCARBOROUGH, Maine -- The entire Bobby Webber Racing team knew that three races in two days was going to be a difficult task, but the team completed a solid weekend with one victory, and a top-five finish. Bryan Kruzcek wheeled the No. 19 Hawthorne Automotive, Vynorius Companies, Hedges Excavating Late Model Sportsman to a third victory in four starts on Friday night at Lee USA Speedway in the second of double feature races. During the first race, a crash sidelined Kruczek before the finish -- but in the second race -- he charged to the front and drove away with the victory behind the wheel. It was the third win in four starts over the last two weeks in Lee's Rodfather Late Model Sportsman class. Kruczek also wheel the No. 19 Vynorius Super Late Model to a fifth-place effort with the Granite State Pro Stock Series at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Maine on Saturday, June 12. He qualified sixth in time trials, finished third in his heat race, and ran around the top five the entire race en route to a solid finish. "One word sums up this weekend of racing for us and that is 'team'"," Kruczek said of Lee's Friday night event. "We hoped for another sweep at Lee, but the first incident out of our control put us in the pits. My crew got right to work and thrashed to rebuild the front of the body and repair the radiator and as always gave me a fast car to drive threw the field and take down win number three." "Heading to Beech Ridge, being the place I got my first touring series win, I felt fairly optimistic about having a good run at Beech Ridge just knowing how the track can change over the day," he said of Beech Ridge's fifth-place finish. "We made minimal adjustments all day and just unloaded a comfortable car to drive and I was able to hang around the front all race and bring home a solid top-five for BWR to wrap our weekend." The team will take a week off from the Granite State Pro Stock Series and focus on the next round of Rodfather Late Model Sportsman racing on Friday, June 18, back at Lee USA Speedway.

EPPING, N.H. -- Bobby Webber Racing is completing final preparations for what will be a busy weekend of racing in the state of New Hampshire, and Maine, with two different cars, on Friday and Saturday, June 11-12. Driver Bryan Kruczek will wheel both entires -- first on Friday in the Rodfather Late Model Sportsman at Lee USA Speedway -- then on Saturday with the Granite State Pro Stock Series (GSPSS) at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway. The last time Kruczek sat in both cars, he parked them in Victory Lane. Kruczek won both of the double feature races on Friday, June 5 at Lee USA with the Late Model Sportsman, and also is coming off a victory in his last race in the Super Late Model with the GSPSS at Star Speedway on May 8. Friday at Lee will include two more feature races, while Saturday is a 150-lap contest that will put GSPSS stars against Beech Ridge track regulars. Kruczek looks to be in a major factor in all three races he runs this weekend. "The Boyd Tech car (Late Model Sportsman) is just a blast to drive and I'm happy I got to complete the sweep last Friday," Kruczek said. "It definitely has grip and it's easy to drive. It was great to get back to Lee, definitely one of my most comfortable tracks to race at and I always enjoy racing there... enjoyed seeing some friends I haven't seen in a few years. Looking forward to getting back there." On Saturday, Kruczek will head to Maine to compete with the top Super Late Model talent in the region. "We have an awesome group of supporters behind us for sponsors and crew," Kruczek said. "Whether it is on, or off, the track, we do our best to showcase them at the front of the field on race day. We appreciate all they do for us." Team owner Bobby Webber Jr. is also excited to return to the track this weekend, as Star Speedway, the track Webber owns, is off this weekend. He will attend both nights of racing action for the BWR team. "This weekend is going to be fun," Webber said. "We are looking forward to attempting to go four-for-four at Lee with that car. Then, going to Beech Ridge on Saturday, we have confidence. Bryan did well there in his previous PASS car and hopefully that translates well to the Granite State Pro Stock Series. We have had some fun in the last three races we have run as a team, winning all three. There would be nothing better than to change that three wins to six wins after Saturday night." Friday's event at Lee USA Speedway begins at 7 p.m. with feature racing, while Saturday's race day at Beech Ridge starts with time trials at 4 p.m. Tickets will be available at the track for both days of racing and fans are encouraged to come cheer on the No. 19 at the track.

LEE, N.H. -- It had been a few years since Bryan Kruczek had run a weekly division race at the Lee USA Speedway, but Friday Night, Kruczek and his Bobby Webber Racing team made a statement return, winning both Late Model Sportsman feature races in commanding fashion. The team had a successful practice on opening night, with the car topping the speed charts, only to have a rain storm come in and cut the night short before a feature event could be run. So, after a week of anticipation, the Vynorious Companies, Hawthorne, Hedges Excavating machine picked up where they left off. Kruczek started the first feature of the night towards the front of the pack, and quickly worked his way to the lead after a restart on the outside of the front row. Kruczek was able to work his way by early race leader Frankie Eldredge, and he was then able to distance himself from the rest of the pack. The Bobby Webber Racing machine finished the 25 lap race a solid 5 seconds over his nearest competitor, Frankie Eldredge crossed the stripe in second, Bobby Melvin Jr. rounded out the top three. When feature number two of the evening hit the track, Kruczek's No. 19NH would roll off seventh in the 12-car field. In the opening laps, Cam Huntress had taken the lead while Kruczek navigated the BWR machine through traffic and up to the third spot. On the fifth circuit, Charlie Colby worked his way by Huntress and into the lead, by this point Kruczek had worked his way up to the front duo, and two laps later, took the top spot. Again, the Hedges Excavation, Advanced Gas Distributors machine began to distance itself from the competition until the race was slowed by a caution bunching the field back together. On the restart, Kruczek rocketed his way back out to the lead with Frankie Eldredge following through into second, and Charlie Colby followed in third, which would be the way the trio would finish out the event. Kruczek crossed the line 1.6 seconds ahead of Eldredge completing the evening sweep. Bobby Webber Racing team owner Bobby Webber also challenged Lee USA Speedway track owner Norm Wrenn to match him dollar-for-dollar for the winnings and donate the winnings to Hole in The Wall Gang, a favorite charity of the late Norm Wrenn III. Track owner Norm Wrenn matched and thousands of dollars were donated to the charity. Bryan Kruczek and Bobby Webber Racing will return to Lee USA Speedway on Friday, June 11, for another round of the Rodfather Late Model Sportsman. Racing begins at 7 p.m. and admission is just $5 for fans in a special Fans Night at the races. The team will also compete in the Granite State Pro Stock Series event at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway on Saturday, June 12. A full weekend preview will come later in the week right here on BobbyWebberRacingllc.com.
