Bagz Lays Claim to Top Ten Finish at The Gap!
(May 7, 2012) Following a month-long hiatus, the B&B Motorsports team and driver Daniel Baggerly returned to Dirt Late Model competition over the May 4-5 weekend in the states of North Carolina and Tennessee. On Friday night, the 311 Motor Speedway in Madison, North Carolina played host to a $10,000 to win World of Outlaws Late Model Series showdown. Daniel ran eighth in his loaded heat race, but later grabbed the third transfer spot through the consolation race. After rolling off twenty-first on the grid in the 50-lapper, Daniel pulled off of the racing surface after 25 circuits due to high oil temperature and retired in the twenty-first position.

The dirt-slinging action quickly shifted to the ultra-fast Volunteer Speedway in Bulls Gap, Tennessee on Saturday evening, as the Ultimate Super Late Model Series presided over a $5,000 to win program. Daniel timed in nineteenth fastest during the qualifying session, which locked him into the inside of the tenth row in the 50-lap feature event. "Bagz" then had a sterling run in the A-Main at "The Gap," as he worked his way past ten competitors to score a hard-fought ninth place performance.

B&B Motorsports Welcomes American Racer and Red Line Oil On Board!
(March 30, 2012) As the 2012 racing season is primed to get underway this weekend in the Peach State of Georgia, Daniel Baggerly and the B&B Motorsports team would like to welcome a pair of new product supporters on board. Both American Racer Tires and Red Line Oil have inked deals recently with the #16 team. Team owner Jim Baggerly offered these thoughts on both reputable companies:

American Racer: "We will be moving over to American Racer tires for all Ultimate Super Late Model Series races this year. The very recent changes made by the Ultimate Series of allowing multiple tire manufacturers opened an option for us to explore. We have occasionally used American Racer tires in the past and have always been pleased with their performance. After speaking with Jimmy Smith and Alan we were overwhelmed with their level of customer service, personal attention, willingness to provide current product knowledge, as well as, an offer of product support for the upcoming racing season. Daniel and I are looking forward to working with Jimmy Smith and his staff this year." www.americanraceronline.com

Red Line Synthetic Oil: "We are pleased to announce Daniel will be receiving product and technical support from Red Line Oil this year. To that end, we will be exclusively using Red Line Oil products in many applications. With my travel schedule and Daniel's class schedule, we were attempting to simplify our racing program wherever possible. Freddy Smith, who has been a long time advocate of Red Line products, introduced us to the folks at Red Line with the idea of providing a one stop shopping experience for all of our fluid and lube requirements. As opposed to contacting multiple vendors for different products, we now contact one person and receive products for everything from race motor to toterhome. We already knew their products were second to none, but did not realize how diverse their product line actually is. Kerry, Tim and the rest of the staff at Red Line have been excellent to work with and offered product support to one of the next generation of Dirt Late Model drivers." www.redlineoil.com

Daniel Baggerly Prepares for Some Changes in 2012
PREPARED BY KELCAR MOTORSPORTS MEDIA & MANAGEMENT, LLC
(March 29, 2012) 2011 was a year of improvement for Daniel Baggerly and his En>Compass Solutions Race Team. The 20 year-old junior at Emory and Henry College in Southwestern Virginia fielded cars in both the Super Late Model and Crate Late Model divisions in 2011. Baggerly found success and much improvement from seasons past. With around starts on the year, Baggerly amassed 1 win, 7 top 5s and 13 top 10s. Baggerly also collected a 5th place finish in the Ultimate Super Late Model Series point standings. “2011 was a good year. I definitely learned a lot this year. I owe much of what we learned to Freddy Smith traveling with us last year. He took years off of my learning curve and gave us great advice to keep getting better. I am proud that we had him onboard with us and it looks like he will be with us occasionally again this year.” Baggerly said.

Baggerly debuted a brand new Rocket Chassis for his final two events of 2011. Baggerly was very happy with how his new chassis performed. “We qualified 3rd quick in the new car at 311 Speedway at the end of October behind Jeff Smith and Chris Ferguson. We were only about 0.03 seconds off the pole. The car was really quick and for the first time in a Super Late Model I felt like I had a car capable of winning. I hooked a rut on a restart and fell back to 8th but I was able to race back to 5th. It felt good to have such a fast car.” Baggerly added. Baggerly also ran his new Rocket at Cherokee Speedway’s Blue Gray 100 in November. “We were running 2nd in the heat and had a flat tire. We ended up taking a provisional and raced all the way up to 7th and got into the Davenport-McDowell deal. That put us in the rear and we got caught up in another wreck. But overall I was very impressed with the car and I really believe going forward it will make us a more competitive team week in and week out.” [more]
