BRIGHT HOUSE CHALLENGE SERIES BACK BIGGER AND BETTER IN 2015

New Smyrna Speedway and DeSoto Speedway announced today that the Bright House
Challenge Series for Super Late Models will return for 2015 with an expanded
schedule sponsored again by digital cable, home phone and high-speed internet
provider Bright House Networks.

The Series will expand from six races in 2014 to eight in 2015. with four
races being held at both New Smyrna Speedway and DeSoto Speedway this season.
The first Bright House race will be the traditional Ice Breaker 100 at DeSoto
on February 8th. Also included in the schedule will be the annual Clyde Hart
Memorial at New Smyrna, being run this year on Friday, July 3rd. All races
will be for 100 laps with the exception of a 50-lap event at New Smyrna on
March 28th.

The Bright House Series began in 2006 with B. J. McLeod of Wauchula the first
champion. Tim Russell of Longwood won the title in both 2007 and 2008 while
Orlando's David Rogers took the championship four years in a row from 2009
through 2012. Travis Cope of Weeki Wachee won the title in 2013.

Last year, Riverview driver Joe Boyd won the Ice Breaker 100 at DeSoto to take
the first Bright House Challenge race of the season. Boyd held on to the
point lead all year until the final race, also at DeSoto, when Jesse Dutilly
of Bradenton won the event and went on to claim the 2014 championship by just
three points over Boyd.

Stephen Nasse of Pinellas Park won twice at New Smyrna on April 5th and
September 27th while other Bright House events were won by Steven Wallace of
Mooresville, NC in the Clyde Hart Memorial New Smyrna on July 3rd and by T. J.
Duke at DeSoto on May 10th.

Following Dutilly and Boyd in the final 2014 points chase were Rich Clouser of
Deland, Anthony Sergi of Geneva and Lakeland's George Gorham, Jr. Completing

That's good news!!! I've been impressed with the Bright House cars at Desoto. There is a good possibility that this series could expand further, to more tracks. Bronson is trying to get up and running, this series could race there. Maybe even Lake City if they get running again. It's bound to be a big improvement over the train wreck that was FUPS ( what a dumb name for a series ).

If they would come race at Bronson you would see that place packed out- so yeah that ain't gonna happen....
