Carmel, Indiana- Yesterday, JD Byrider Kart Racing Team Drivers Ron Petersen and Colton Aldridge piloted their JD Byrider / Tony Stewart Racing / Eldora Speedway sponsored 125cc TaG Kart to a fine 4th place finish in the “6th Annual Mazda Robo-Pong 200 Presented by Bridgestone” at Mark Dismore’s New Castle Motorsports Park. This race, commonly referred to as “The Indy 500 of Karting”, brings racers from all over the U.S. and several other countries to this central Indiana venue.

On Saturday in qualifying, against 46 other karts, Colton put the team in 6th position for the Sunday event. Colton started the race and avoided a first lap incident that damaged the karts of Dan Wheldon and Conor Daly.

Although the leader at the time pulled out to a nice lead, Colton raced bumper-to-bumper with 2nd and 3rd place drivers, IndyCar veterans Ed Carpenter and Jay Howard. At 54 laps, in 3rd position, the team made their first pit stop for fuel and a driver change. Ron drove the next segment and pitted at lap 101 in 4th place. Colton took over and got the team to 2nd behind Ed Carpenter at lap 109. Ron jumped back in at lap 150 with the team maintaining 2nd position through the pit stop. It was near the time of this pit stop when the kart developed a huge push in the corners. Ron struggled with the ill-handling kart and was forced to pit at lap 171 in 4th place with the front tires worn to the cords. After replacing the front tires, Colton took over and got back on the track in 5th place. The 4th place team pitted, moving Colton to 4th, and he passed the 3rd place team on lap 180.

By lap 193, with the handling issue slowing the kart, the 4th place team had caught and passed him. With 5th position well behind him, Colton cruised the last few laps and posted the 4th place finish, with the front tires, again, worn to the cords. Ed Carpenter and his teammate posted a flawless race to take the win by 2 laps.

After the race, during the engine teardown in tech inspection, the team discovered that the chassis of the kart had broken under the seat, causing the evil handling of the kart. Despite the problem, the team was very happy with the results and $2,500 4th place purse. Also, for the 5th consecutive year, in a race that is brutally hard on equipment, the JD Byrider Team Kart has not only been running at the end, but finished “in-the-money”.

Tony Stewart won his own dirt-track charity race in dominating fashion on Wednesday, September 9.  Stewart overtook Kenny Wallace on the 13th lap and never looked back to capture the Gillette Young Guns Prelude to a Dream for the second year in a row.

Joey Logano had some trouble with his #20 Home Depot car, so he jumped into the #14 J.D. Byrider car (as shown below) in which Stewart had won a feature earlier in the year at Paducah, Kentucky.

The race, which drew more than 23,000 fans to Eldora, was broadcast live on HBO Pay-Per-View® with proceeds from the telecast supporting four military-themed charities – Wounded Warrior Project, Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, Operation Homefront and Fisher House. Each has a mission that outlines assistance to the courageous men and women who serve their country and need additional support both during and after their time of service.

“All these drivers who took time out of their schedule to come to Eldora – not once, but twice – I just can’t thank them enough for what they’ve done,” said Stewart, owner of Eldora Speedway.  “That’s what this race is about. We all get to have fun and drive dirt cars, but it’s a lot deeper and bigger cause than that.”

J.D. Byrider is pleased to announce Tony Stewart fans will have the opportunity to win tickets to see Tony Stewart compete live at Paducah International Raceway’s NASCAR Night II in Paducah, KY on Thursday, June 30th.

On Wednesday, July 29, at the J.D. Byrider dealership in Owensboro, KY. From 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., fans can view the #14 J.D. Byrider Chevy Monte Carlo dirt late model that Stewart will drive Thursday night at Paducah International Raceway. They can win tickets to that race. And, they can meet driver, Steve Barnett, who pilots the #89 J.D. Byrider Chevy Monte Carlo dirt late model for J. D. Byrider Racing. During his career, Barnett has captured nearly 226 features, 15 career track championships and is a six-time Northern All Stars Champion!

Tony Stewart has been a part of the J.D. Byrider team since 1997, when J.D. Byrider began sponsoring a stock dirt late model car, which Stewart drives a couple of times a year. Since the J.D. Byrider sponsorship began, the team has grown. In addition to Stewart as the late model dirt-track driver, the team includes Steve Barnett in a second late model dirt-track car and Kraig Kinser in a winged, open-wheel sprint car on the legendary World of Outlaws Circuit.

Thursday’s race at Paducah, billed as “NASCAR Night II” at PIR, will be the second time Stewart and Barnett have raced there this year. On April 23, Stewart won the 30-lap feature race.

“It was the perfect debut of our new car and colors”, said Jim England, president of the J.D. Byrider Advertising Group, Inc. “We changed the number on our car from 20 to 14 this year, to coincide with Tony’s change to owner/driver status. And, Tony and Steve both have new firesuits this year, reflecting our relationship with TSR and Tony’s many other sponsors. I’m looking forward to seeing them race on the famed PIR track again.””
