A BIG thank you to EVERYONE for the help and Support. We could not have done it without you! Dion Naples Motorsports will be back Saturday Night for another Sportsman Show down! Be there!

On Saturday June 4th, Dion Naples Motorsports was back at OCFS and ready for another top 10 finish. Dion gave it all he had as he started 3rd in the 2nd DIRTcar Sportsman heat race. With a tacky track Dion would fall back to the 4th position and hang on to qualify for the 20 lap feature event.
Dion would follow the pack to the green from the 7th position, with some great racing all night, but just a tad under power Dion would fall to the 12th place and hang on till the checkered flag flew. A very respectful finish, and a car that rolls into the trailer, what more could you ask for. "It was one hell of a night" said Dion, and that it was.
Team mate billy lowden would be involved in an altercation in his heat race and some physical actions were displayed in the pit area and Billy would be Disqualified. He will be back next saturday night along with the 88 of Dion Naples. We hope to see you all out with us next weekend. Thank you to our fans and sponsors. See you all next week!

Dion Naples Motorsports had a great top 10 finish 2 weeks ago at OCFS as last weeks racing activities were canceled. Last time we raced Dion had said the car had too much gear. So the crew took some gear out of the car and Dion went to work. Starting 3rd in the final DIRTcar Sportsman heat, Dion would hold his own the first few laps, pulling away from the guys behind him and getting closer to the guys up front. Tyler mckee was 2nd untill Dion pulled a good move off turn 4 and got the lead! With 4 to go dion was chasing down Rj Smykla! With the white flag coming out Rj would break coming down the front stretch and Dion would be at his Rear bumper at the time and would grab the lead and bring home D.N.M's 2nd win of the yr and 1st heat race win!
Set to go racing Dion would Be lined up to start 7th for the 20 lap DIRTcar sportsman Feature event! taking the green Dion would jump up to the 6th spot and hang on for the better half of the race. After the half way point the Right Rear tire seemed to have went away and Dion would slowly slip back to the 9th position but hold onto it for another top 10 finish! Dion and the crew pleased with the outcome as the car is in one piece and its another great finish. We'll be back with the Red 88 next weekend for some more great racing!
Our Big Block Modified teamate Billy Lowden would have difficulties in the heat race and blow a valve spring and called it a night to save the motor for next weekend's events!
We thank all our fans! Sponsors! and we hope to see you all out there this weekend cheering on your favorite team!

Saturday was another rough but successful night for the Cheap Thrill Bods team at the Orange County Fair Speedway. The "Neon" one Dion Naples had the back up 88 ready to Rock N' Roll and change our luck around. Hot Laps were a mess with the track sloppy as anything. the 2nd position is where Dion started for the first DIRTcar Sportsman heat races. But he would drop back to the 6th spot as the car would have a massive push going through the corners.
This would put Dion on the Pole for the Consolation event. Taking the green into turn one and Dion would put himself out front and stay there with almost over a straight away lead on the rest of the field! Dion would bring home the first WIN for Dion Naples Motorsports! This put us in the 21st starting position for the 20 lap Sportsman feature.
Taking the green Dion wouldn't make it through turns 1 & 2 as the huge field would bundle up in front of him and he would have no where to go. The hit would strip the threads off the steering box and would end our night. But we will more then definitely be back next Saturday Night at OCFS to go for another win!
Big Block Modified team mate Billy Lowden Qualified for the DIRTcar Big Block Modified feature event and held on to finish! He also will be back Next Saturday Night!
The Cheap Thrill Bods Season is slowly but surely turning around. We're all committed and set to go and do our best. See you all Next weekend and we hope you all come out and support us! We love you and thank you for all the support!!

"Neon" Dion looking fast in hot laps on 4/30/11
Dion Naples and the "Neon" Crew were back at OCFS Saturday and they were hoping to have an awesome come back week after brake troubles in week 1. Well the day started out pretty well as Dion felt fast in Hot laps. Heat race number 4 would be the heat Dion strapped in for and had to finish in the top 5 to make it to the 20 lap DIRTcar sportsman Feature event. Dion held on tight with an ill handling race car to qualify.
20th position was the starting spot for the "Neon" one and he hung on and stayed out of trouble for the first 10 laps of the feature event moving up to the 15th spot. As a car spinning in turn 3 caused a scramble and Dion tried missing the mess but caught the inside barrier going into turn 3 and when for some air time and spun around 3 times in the air bringing out the red flag. Firing the car back up and getting back in line the crew tried to see what was wrong with the car but Dion seemed ready to keep going. Unfortunately the car died coming down the front stretch and Dion would have to pull in. The crew believes the Fuel Filter was clogged after the hit and cause the car to bog down and eventually stall. It was a rough night but a 19th place finish would be the outcome along with a bent front clip on the Cheap Thrill Bods 88.
Team mate Billy Lowden made his first Big Block Modified feature event through the consolation race. He started at the back of the pack ready for 30 Green flag laps but wouldn't event make it to turn one without being up on 1 wheel and getting the Right Rear tire ripped right off the rim and causing extensive damage to the rear.
The Cheap Thrill Bods teams will be back next weekend and ready to go with a new rear, and Dion will be bringing out the red DIRTcar Sportsman for next Saturday Night. We hope to see you all out at OCFS cheering us on!

In hot laps both Billy Lowden and Dion Naples were some of the fastest cars on the track. "Car Felt great" Said Dion as he got ready for the 5th place starting spot in the first DIRTcar Sportsman Heat race. Dion would hold on to the 5th spot through out the heat race with a close battle with Tyler Mckee, but a caution with one to go would change that. As on the restart Dion would get a run under Tyler off turn four, power into second and down the home stretch with so much of a run he flew passed Keith Still into turn one moving Dion to the 3rd position! " I did good" said "Neon" Dion after that power move.
Dion was set to start 8th in the Sportsman Feature event, but ended up being 7th. Taking the green Dion got a little swirly out of turn 2 but hung on to her. With a caution and a complete restart Dion would drive hard into turn one and hang on for lap one but got caught in a tangle in turn one but kept the car going straight. Dion would come into the pits under caution for a brake problem. Back to green flag racing and Dion would hang on in font of the leaders for about 8 laps before going a lap down. 17th position would be the outcome for the Dion Naples Motorsports crew. With a little body work and brake work to do, Dion Naples will be back next weekend for week number 2!
