2014 was the first full year of NEO Racing News videos, starting off with the annual Wild Bill Hangover Race in January, going through Cavalcade races in October. The #1 all-time video from NEO Racing News also came in 2014. Keep reading to find out what made the cut this year.

Top NEO Racing News Videos of 2013
2013 was the first year NEO Racing News existed, so it was more about laying groundwork than anything else. Thanks to the tracks and drivers around Northeast Ohio, I was able to do that. Looking back into the vault, here are the top videos on the NEO Racing News YouTube Channel in 2013!
Racing Calendar: June 19th to June 27th
What a weekend ahead for the Northeast Ohio racing scene. Not only does Ohio Sprint Speedweek kick off at Attica Raceway Park, but the ARCA Gold Cup races with The Main Event Racing Series for the first time at Sandusky Speedway.
If that wasn’t enough, Mansfield Speedway re-opens for the first time in many years with a Sunday show. The MSA Supermodifieds highlight a three division Grand Reopening, which is the first of six scheduled shows.
For dirt fans, along with Sprint Speedweek, the first ever Ohio Dirt Late Model Speedweek finished up at Atomic on Saturday. There’s a little bit of everything for everybody, so check out the schedule below and plan your weekend accordingly!

WEEKEND CALENDAR: May 22nd to May 24th
This weekend is dedicated to those we lost, those that fought valiantly to protect our Flag and our freedoms. Let us never forget.
Busy weekend of Racing ahead, with some shows shifting to Sunday. With the big Mansfield re-opening cancelled a while ago, the big show of the weekend happens at Columbus Motor Speedway, which hosts the JEGS / CRA All Stars Tour Saturday. On dirt, Fremont Speedway hosts the UNOH All Star Circuit of Champions both Saturday and Sunday.
Weather is expected to be gorgeous all weekend, with little to no chance of significant rain. Make sure to get out there and support your local short tracks!
Weekend Calendar: May 15th – 17th
Highlight of the racing weekend is the ARCA Racing Series making its annual visit to Toledo Speedway. The ARCA Truck Series races Saturday, then the Menards 200 runs Sunday. Discount tickets are available at participating Menards stores.
I will be at Lake County Speedway for their weekly racing action, but everybody should get out to their local track and enjoy the beautiful weather that appears to have returned to Northeast Ohio.
Some things to note…Sandusky has re-scheduled both The Main Event Racing Series and MSA Supermodified races that were supposed to run last week. The Main Event race has been moved to July 11th, while the Supermodifieds have moved to August 15th.
The Mansfield Grand Re-Opening scheduled for May 23rd has been postponed. The Main Event Racing Series and MSA Supermodifieds will both announce new dates for Mansfield early next week.
I will also be adding Summit Motorsports Park, Thompson Raceway Park, and Championship Kart Racing Association dates to the calendar this weekend.

Weekend Calendar: May 8th – 9th
The Northeast Ohio racing scene is hoping to keep the great weather and racing rolling into the next weekend! Every weekly track is active now, by my count. If you haven’t made it out to your local track yet, this weekend would be a great opportunity!

Top Videos of 2014: #9 Tim Westerfield Jr. Modified Feature Crashes
To kick off the 2015 season here at NEO Racing News, I am going to start by looking back at the Top 10 videos of 2014, based on views. As always, remember to check out the more than 300 videos uploaded to the NEO Racing News YouTube Channel by clicking the link!
#9 – Tim Westerfield Jr. Modified Feature
Opening Day at Midvale Speedway was a chance for a fresh start for every team that rolled in that day. But unfortunately for many of the modified division teams, it would also be their first chance to fix some sheet metal. Spins and hard racing led to contact and carnage, including two examples from Tim Westerfield Jr.’s Ride Along camera. All drivers were OK in both incidents.
