Demeny Racing - TORC Antigo Event
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Demeny Perseveres to Reach Podium in Round 2 Abrams, WI (June 8, 2010) - Veteran racer Don Demeny arrived at the Langlade County Fairgrounds sporting a completely new look to his Dodge Ram 1500 Super Stock truck. The yellow truck welcomes Nsight Telservices as the team's new title sponsor while Cellcom, Colortech, and BFGoodrich Tires are associate partners. The layout at the Langlade County Fairgrounds in Antigo, Wisconsin used the majority of the .5 mile clay circle track along with a good run through the infield. The track had a few jumps spread throughout the layout as well as a challenging rhythm section through the middle of the infield. Round One The#885 Nsight Teleservices Cellcom BFGoodrich Tires Dodge Ram 1500 started from the outside of the third row and with a couple of fast trucks in front of him, a good start was especially important. When the green flag waved, Demeny took the high line around turns one and two and had a great run down the back stretch when disaster struck. As all the trucks bunched up heading into the infield for the first time, another truck made contact with the Nsight Dodge puncturing the right rear tire. Demeny continued on for two more laps, when the crew radioed to come to the Hot Pits for a tire change. The tire change ended any hope of a top five finish, but Demeny charged on looking to finish with as many Championship points as possible. Then with four laps to the finish, driveline failure ended the day for Don Demeny, officially finishing in tenth place. Overnight Don and his crew went to work repairing the driveline issues, and then found additional problems with the powerplant. The all-volunteer team went to work preparing the truck as rain fell throughout the night. By midnight the yellow Dodge Ram was ready for Round Two. The next morning when the crew went to fire up the truck, the truck wouldn't move. When the truck lost the driveshaft during Round One, it must have taken out the transmission. With only six hours to the green flag, Charlie McCormick from Auto Trans Designs, and Charlie Schlieve from Charlie's Transmission went to work building another transmission. Somehow the guys put another gearbox together and installed it with an hour to spare. Round Two The heavy rains from the night before cancelled practice so the track had a chance to dry out so everyone at Demeny Racing hoped all the engine and driveline issues really were fixed. The #885 Dodge started in the fourth spot on the grid when the green flag fell. Quickly Don settled into a comfortable race pace, running in the fourth position, looking to make his move during the second half of the race. When the mandatory caution was over, Don looked to make his move. With four laps to go, Don made his final pass stick, and finished Round Two on the podium in third place. "Everybody pitched in last night," remarked Don Demeny. "Other Super Stock Truck crews came over to give us a hand, to make sure we would make today's race, which is pretty cool about this class. A special thanks goes out to my wife, last night she jumped right into the mayhem and without her we wouldn't be racing today. Then this morning Charlie and Charlie performed a miracle building us another transmission...Also thanks to all those that make this event happen, Ron Krueger, MORR, USAC, TORC and all the volunteers that came out to help this weekend." After two rounds of racing, Don Demeny is currently in fifth place in the 2010 TORC Super Stock Truck Championship standings. Don would like to thank all his sponsors including: Nsight Telservices Cellcom Colortech BFGoodrich Tires Catco Parts & Service Khaos Designs American Family Insurance, Don Antoine Art Carr Transmissions Racing Electronics Northern Hobbies Phil's Inc.
