Cale Gale will be back in the No. 14 Kirk May Motorsports/Elite Auto Collision Super Late Model this weekend at Gresham Motorsports Park in Jefferson, GA.  Labeled as one of the biggest season opening events ever, there will be six divisions of racing and will also be the second time for the 2010 racing season that Gale will be driving the No. 14 Chevy for Kirk May.  At Speedfest earlier this year, Gale ended up with a top ten finish in his first outing with May and he is certainly looking for a better result this weekend, "there is no doubt that the Kirk May ride is fast everytime I drive it, we just need a little luck and I feel we can win with this car," Gale said.

Cale's dad, Bubba Gale, made the trip to South Alabama Speedway this weekend and ended up with a blown motor racing the No. 83 Gale Force Suspension Management/Coilover Load Pro Modified.  Gale started the race from the third position and after three tries at taking the initial green flag to start the race, things settled down a bit with him very happy with the car until lap 18 when the car's tempature rose to 240 degrees.

Cale Gale started Sunday's Speedfest 250 Super Late Model race at Lanier National Speedway from the third position in the No. 14 Kirk May, Elite Auto Collision/Champ Race Cars Chevy.  For the first half of the race, Gale stayed in the top five with a competition yellow being thrown on lap 126.  Race leader Kyle Busch drew a five for the invert to start the second half of the race putting Gale on the pole, he held the lead until Steven Wallace assumed the front runner status on laps 139 only to have Busch drive past him on lap 146 for a lead position he would not give up.  Gale, while running fifth, was given a little help in spinning the No. 14 but still managed a top ten finish finishing eighth.

Bubba Gale ended up with a fifth place finish in his No. 83 Coilover Load Pro Modified.

Even though it's only been since December since Cale or Bubba has competed, it seems like a year or so.  Both have raced at Lanier National Speedway, and both have won there with Bubba winning his last two truck races there so there's no doubt, both know how to get around the 3/8 mile oval.  I feel there's a good chance that both can bring home the 2010 Speedfest trophy!

Will the weather have an outcome on Speedfest 2010??  - Probably not, the track will be a little "green" after the rain (and yes it is going to rain!) but there will be enough practice on the track to lay plenty of rubber down.  According to the National Weather Service, the high for Sunday's Super Late Model race will be all of 45 which to me, is downright cold!

Cale's comments on Speefest 2010 - "I am excited about the fact that I am back in a car and would also like to thank Kirk May and the guys for the chance to compete in an awesome car, hopefully I can do my job and get them a win."


Bubba's comments -  "I love racing at Lanier and I am thrilled to be going back, this is my first time to race in a modified there, I would love to see both me and Cale get a win this weekend."

Saturday night at Five Flags Speedway, Auggie Grill was passed by T.J. Reaid for the lead with four laps remaining only to re-take the lead with two to go and capture his second Allen Turner Snowflake 100 win in what was a caution filled race with two red flags.

Cale Gale started the race in the 12th position and at one point of the race reached third.  "I just used the car up," Gale said.  After running in the top ten for most of the night, the No 83 Wolfpack Rentals Chevy crossed the stripe 16th.

In Sunday's 42nd Annual Snowball Derby, things didn't get better for Cale as he ended up involved in a turn three incident on lap 204 trying to avoid another car that had spun ending his day early.  Cale started the No 14 Elite Auto Collision Chevy from the eighth position, and worked his way up to fifth by lap 40.  After barely touching another wrecked car, Gale came in for some minor body repair using duct tape on the right front fender.  After that, things didn't get any better.  Gale ended up with a 28th place finish.

A very special "thank you" to Kirk May in letting Cale drive his racecar for the Derby.  It was a great pleasure working with such fine people and I personally hope we get to do it again!!  Also another thank you to Mr. Lee and the rest of the crew for their hard work!

Gale Force Suspension Management and Cale Gale Motorsports had a good day today as Bubba Gale broke the modified track qualifying record at 5 Flags Speedway and ended up finishing second in his No. 83 modified in a rain-shortened race.  Bubba started from the pole but didn't lead a lap as he slipped to third by lap three.  By lap 30, he had worked his way back to second place only to be denied a chance at the win by mother nature!

Cale will start Sunday's 42nd Annual Snowball Derby from the eigth position.  Johanna Long set a new super late model track record (16.463) during qualifying tonight which puts her on the pole with Ross Kenseth starting second.  Kyle Busch will start third, Auggie Grill fourth and Casey Smith fifth.

Tomorrow Cale will qualify the pro late model at 2 pm.  The Allen Turner Snowflake 100 will begin at 7 pm.

Practice will officially kick off today at 10 am for the super and pro late model classes in preperation for the 42nd Annual Snowball Derby and Cale Gale is more than ready to see how his times compare to the other 70 or so drivers that have registered in both classes.  "It's one of the most prestigious short-track races in the country," Gale said.  The car was decent during Monday's testing and as things move along during today's testing, the team is hoping to improve on Monday's times.

It looks like Cale Gale will not be the only name in the pro and super late model classes that has some NASCAR events under his belt, 2009 Nationwide Series Champion and Sprint Cup star Kyle Busch will be on hand to compete in both classes and from what I am hearing, he is coming to Five Flags Speedway to clinch "the sweep" in both divisions, this should be interesting!  Other drivers scheduled to race this weekend are; David Stremme, Steven Wallace, John Wes Townley and James Buesher, Brian Ickler, Ryan Sieg and Shane Sieg from the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.

Here is the swchedule for tomorrow:

8:00 AM Pits Open
