BAD LUCK HALTS CHRIS
SIMPSON AT WHEATLAND...
(April
13, 2014) Chris Simpson Racing headed to the
state-of-the-art Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri
on Friday, April 11 for the start of the inaugural 'Spring
Nationals,' which was sanctioned by the Lucas Oil MLRA Series.
Unfortunately, Chris Simpson's weekend was a short one, as
he broke a starter, bellhousing, and other parts while battling
for the lead in his heat race. The #32 team was forced to
scratch from the remainder of the weekend to return home to
make repairs, which meant that Chris did not compete in Friday's
$2,000 to win feature or Saturday's $3,000 to win main event.

SIMPSON NOTCHES PAIR
OF TOP TENS AT I-80
(April
7, 2014) Chris Simpson and his #32 team ventured
to I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Nebraska on April 5-6 for the
'Spring Meltdown,' which was co-sanctioned by the Corn Belt
Clash and Lucas Oil MLRA tours. On Saturday night, Chris ran
third in heat race action, which locked him into the outside
of the seventh row in the $3,000 to win feature event. The
Oxford, Iowa ace then picked off five competitors during the
35-lapper en route to a solid ninth place effort.
In the 'Spring Meltdown' finale on Sunday at I-80 Speedway,
Chris finished sixth in his heat race and third in his B-Main
to earn the twenty-second starting spot in the $2,000 to win
main event. During the course of the 30-lap race, Chris blasted
past twelve racecars on his way to a tenth place outing. Complete

CHRIS SIMPSON BACK
IN ACTION IN THAW BRAWL
(March
30, 2014) The Chris Simpson Racing team returned
to Dirt Late Model competition on Saturday evening, March
29 in the 3rd Annual 'Thaw Brawl' at LaSalle Speedway in LaSalle,
Illinois. Both the UMP DIRTcar Series and American Late Model
Series (ALMS) co-sanctioned the lucrative event, which boasted
a hefty $15,000 top prize. Chris Simpson, who was set to debut
a new Rocket racecar, suffered terminal mechanical trouble
during hot laps and was forced to break out the back-up car.
Behind the wheel of his MB Customs ride, Chris timed in fourth
fastest in his group during qualifying and later grabbed the
third transfer spot through his heat race. The Oxford, Iowa
ace then started the 75-lap main event from the outside of
the sixth row, but was unfortunately one of the casualties
in the attrition-filled race. Chris retired early in the 'Thaw
Brawl' and settled for a twenty-second place performance.

WINTER EXTREME RESULTS
FROM TUCSON INT'L RACEWAY
(January
19, 2014) Chris Simpson and his #32 team wrapped
up the 2014 edition of the 'Winter Extreme' miniseries tonight
at Tucson International Raceway, as the six-race burst of
events concluded with a $10,000 to win finale. Chris knocked
down the quickest lap in his group during the NDRL qualifying
session and later scored the win in his heat race over Chase
Junghans and Donny Schatz. After drawing the pole position
prior to the 50-lap main event, Chris ran second early in
the race and was a fixture inside of the top five. However,
a flat right rear tire late in the A-Main cost the Oxford,
Iowa native a strong run and instead relegated him to a disappointing
sixteenth place finish.
(January 18, 2014) Chris
Simpson Racing was back in action tonight at Tucson International
Raceway, as the Tucson, Arizona oval played host to the fifth
event of the six-race 'Winter Extreme' miniseries. Chris Simpson
qualified third fastest in his group during National Dirt
Racing League (NDRL) time trials and later grabbed the third
and final transfer spot through his heat race behind Pat Doar
and Travis Dickes. After starting the $5,000 to win main event
from the outside of the seventh row, Chris was unfortunately
an early retiree in the 40-lapper and was eventually credited
with a nineteenth place effort.
(January 17, 2014) Another
$3,000 winner's check was up for grabs tonight in Tucson,
as the fourth round of the 'Winter Extreme' miniseries took
place at TIR. Chris Simpson laid down the fifth quickest circuit
in his group during NDRL qualifying prior to claiming a fourth
place finish in his stacked heat race. The Oxford, Iowa ace
then won his B-Main to earn the twenty-first starting spot
in the 30-lapper. Chris was on the move throughout the feature
event, as he passed eleven racecars on his way to a respectable
tenth place showing.
(January 15, 2014) Following
a few days off from racing action, the desert heated back
up tonight with the third leg of the 'Winter Extreme' miniseries
at the Tucson International Raceway in Tucson, Arizona. Chris
Simpson posted the fourth fastest lap in his group during
National Dirt Racing League (NDRL) time trials and later finished
fourth in his loaded heat race. Following a triumph in his
B-Main, Chris blasted past fourteen competitors during the
$3,000 to win feature event en route to a strong fifth place
performance behind only winner Billy Moyer, Brandon Sheppard,
Chase Junghans, and Jimmy Mars.
(January 12, 2014) The
second round of the annual 'Winter Extreme' miniseries took
place earlier today at the Tucson International Raceway in
Tucson, Arizona and a $5,000 top prize was on the line. Chris
Simpson started off his day by posting the fifth quickest
circuit in his group during the NDRL qualifying session. Unfortunately,
Chris was not able to transfer into the 40-lap feature event
after finishing seventh in his heat race and fifth in his
B-Main.
(January 11, 2014) Chris
Simpson and his #32 team opened up their 2014 racing season
tonight in round one of the 'Winter Extreme' miniseries at
the Tucson International Raceway in Tucson, Arizona. Chris
clicked off the fastest lap in his group during National Dirt
Racing League (NDRL) qualifying and later moved up to second
in his heat race following a daunting six-car invert. After
starting seventh on the grid in the $3,000 to win feature
event, Chris vaulted to third early in the 30-lapper, but
eventually wound up sixth in the final rundown of the caution-free
affair behind only winner R.C. Whitwell, Billy Moyer, Will
Vaught, Jimmy Mars, and Shane Clanton.
