PLEASE CHECK BACK SOON FOR RACE RESULTS, SCHEDULE CHANGES, AND TO SEE WHERE “THE TREE CITY TORNADO” WILL BE RACING AT NEXT!! ---------------------------------------------- 9/15/11 - THE ORIGINAL TREE CITY TORNADO was back in action over the long Holiday Weekend. It all started on Saturday Night September 3rd at the Legendary Lawrenceburg Speedway in Lawrenceburg Indiana. J.T. and the Sweat Auto Center Maxim started the night off fast in Hot Laps. He would line up 7th in the Heat Race and come to 5th place at the end to transfer directly to the 25 Lap A-Main, despite the car hiking the left rear big time going into turn 1 with about 3 Laps to go. Stapp saved the car from turning over and nursed it home with no left rear spring, as the left rear torsion arm bolt came out allowing the arm to fall down out of the birdcage. J.T. was scheduled to start 13th in the A-Main, but when he pushed off he noticed something critical was wrong! He didn’t have any throttle! He was forced to pull into the infield and watch the entire feature from the top of his roll cage. Very frustrating indeed! The team would try to rebound the following night at the ¼ mile semi-banked clay oval of the Kokomo Speedway in Kokomo Indiana. It didn’t happen though, because of more unfortunate luck as the spool inside the rear end broke in Hot Laps also destroying the ring & pinion. “THE TREE CITY TORNADO” and the #1SAC will be back in action this Saturday Night with a fresh rear end and a positive outlook! The Sweat Auto Center Maxim will be back at the Legendary Lawrenceburg Speedway in Lawrenceburg Indiana on the super fast 3/8 mile high-banked clay oval. PLEASE CHECK BACK SOON FOR RACE RESULTS FROM “THE BURG” AND TO SEE WHERE “THE TREE CITY TORNADO” WILL BE RACING AT NEXT!! ---------------------------------------------- 9/3/11 - The Original “TREE CITY TORNADO” was in action over this past weekend. It was a very tough weekend with bad luck Winning out on 2 nights of racing. It all started on Friday Night August 26th at the Gas City I69 Speedway in Gas City Indiana. A tough field of 30 Sprint Cars greeted Stapp and the Sweat Auto Center #1SAC Sprinter. Hot Laps went well and it was time for Heat Race action where J.T. would make a charge from the tail in the first few circuits only to be taken out by a spinning car that he could not avoid. “The Tree City Tornado” would line up shot gun on the field in the 14th spot for the 12 Lap B-Main. Stapp made a great charge passing several cars in the first half of the race, standing on the gas and leaning on the rowdy Gas City Cushion until he hauled it into turn 3 and the left rear came off the ground big time! He saved the car from turning over, but lost too much time to the leaders and couldn’t recover in time for a transfer spot. Saturday night August 27th brought J.T. to the Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville Indiana. It was a tough night, as he was very fast in Hot Laps and passed 4 cars from the tail early in his Heat Race, only to suffer a DNF, due to a right rear torsion arm that stripped the splines out. This would end Stapp's night early. "The TREE CITY TORNADO" looks to rebound this Saturday Night September 3rd at the Legendary Lawrenceburg Speedway in Lawrenceburg Indiana. J.T. finished a solid 10th just a few weeks ago on a very heavy and fast track. Preliminary plans are for Stapp and the Sweat Auto Center Maxim to compete on Sunday Night at the 1/4 mile semi-banked clay oval of the Kokomo Speedway in Kokomo Indiana. This would be J.T.'s first trip to the track since 1998, when he raced a U.M.R.A. T.Q. Midget on the old flat 1/4 mile configuration.

On Saturday night August 27th Stapp will head to the 5/16 mile high-banked clay oval of the Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville Indiana.

It all started off on Friday August 12th at the ¼ mile semi-banked clay oval of the Gas City I69 Speedway in Gas City Indiana. J.T. started the evening off running in 2nd place in his Heat Race when another car ran over the top of his hood and the down tubes. This meant he would restart the Heat Race from the tail and just miss the transfer spot. Stapp fought an ill handling machine and finished outside the transfer spot in the B-Main as well. It was the first time he had drove the Maxim Chassis in over 2 years that had brought him so much success in 2008 & 2009. Saturday night August 13th Stapp would take to the super fast 3/8 mile high-banked clay oval of the Legendary Lawrenceburg Speedway in Lawrenceburg Indiana. The track was super heavy and fast all night long! J.T. would be fast in Hot Laps and backed it up with a solid 4th place finish in his Heat Race, right on the tail of the 3rd place car, after starting 6th. The “TREE CITY TORNADO” would line up 11th in the 21 car starting field and bring home his first Top 10 Run of the Season with a solid 10th place finish in the 25 Lap A-Main.

The Original “TREE CITY TORNADO” was back in action Saturday night August 21st at the 5/16-mile high-banked clay oval of the Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville Indiana. The racetrack was heavy and rough early with a very stout 45 Sprint Cars in the Pits. J.T. and the Wee 3 Racing Team started the night out fast in Hot Laps. Stapp continued his blistering pace coming home with his first Heat Race Win of the year. He drew the 0 pill to start the field straight up for the 25 Lap A-Main. That meant J.T. would start 5th in the 21 car-starting field. When the green flag dropped Stapp was fighting a loose racecar after significant track changes due to the Lincoln Park staff grading and reworking the racetrack. J.T. would be hit from behind 5 Laps into the race and spun. He would rejoin the field at the tail. The “TREE CITY TORNADO” stormed his way from the tail to finish 11th when the checkered finally dropped.

The evening would start out extremely well for the Wee 3 Racing Team #Wee 3 Sprinter trading the lead back and forth in the Heat Race and ending up 2nd at the finish. J.T. and the Wee 3 Team struggled a bit in the Dash ending up 4th at the checkered. Stapp would start 4th in the 25 Lap American Sprint Car Tour Feature event. When the green flag dropped J.T. immediately drove under Danny Williams Jr. to take the 3rd spot and on the next circuit would dive under Mike Jonas to move into 2nd. The battle was not over there as Williams and Jonas would try to challenge him throughout most of the A-Main. The “TREE CITY TORNADO” stuck to his line running the cushion just a few inches off the wall and only getting off the cushion when passing lapped cars as he drove the Wee 3 machine to his best Feature Finish of the season and best Career Feature Finish for Jim, Josh, Jeff, and Greg Sweat of the Wee 3 Racing Team.

The Original “TREE CITY TORNADO” and the Wee 3 Racing Team are refreshed and ready to go after the weekend off. J.T. will be standing on the gas this Saturday night July 31st at the ½ mile high-banked clay oval of the Historic Eldora Speedway in Rossburg Ohio!! Last time Stapp raced at the ½ mile speed plant was at the Mopar Million in 2003. It was the creation of Earl Baltes and was and still is the highest paying Sprint Car Race in History. J.T. grew up watching his heroes at Eldora since his first show there in 1984. Sammy Swindell, Doug Wolfgang, Steve Kinser, Rich Vogler, Jack Hewitt, and Jac Haudenschild are just a few of Stapp’s heroes that he has learned from, on those many nights watching from Turn 4 or Turn 1 in a lawn chair. Now he has the chance to put that knowledge to use for the first time in almost 7 years. This will be the 17th race of the season for The “TREE CITY TORNADO and the Wee 3 Racing Team.

This was the 10th American Sprint Car Tour event of the year and 16th race of the season overall for J.T. and the Wee 3 Racing Team. The night started off well despite a slight miss in the motor with a 3rd place run in his Heat Race, which was good enough to transfer to the Dash. Stapp would finish 4th in the 6 Lap Dash and that would mean he would line-up 4th for the 25 Lap A-Main. Stapp would come across the line in 7th, as he fought mechanical gremlins. This would still be the 11th Top 10 of the season for “The Tree City Tornado” and the Wee 3 Racing Team. J.T. would like to thank all of his sponsors for their continued support as well as the whole Wee 3 Racing Team of Josh, Jeff, Greg, and Jim Sweat. They are great guys to drive for and their dedication is second to none.
Stapp and the Wee 3 Team will take this weekend off to
do maintenance on the racecar and all equipment and enjoy the NASCAR Truck
Race at ORP Friday as well as the rest of the Brickyard 400 festivities.
CHECK BACK SOON TO SEE WHEN &
WHERE “THE TREE CITY TORNADO” & THE WEE 3 RACING TEAM WILL BE AT NEXT!!! The Original “TREE CITY TORNADO” ran 2 races in the last week. It all started at the ¼ mile high-banked clay oval of the Waynesfield Raceway Park in Waynesfield Ohio on Saturday night July 10th. J.T. was fast early in Hot Laps and would end up 4th in his Heat Race to transfer directly to the 25 Lap A-Main. There were 28 good race cars in the pits on this night. Stapp would start 12th in the 20 car Feature event driving the Wee 3 Racing Team Stealth with SAC Power. J.T. tried to avoid an opening lap crash in turn 1 when Lewie Christian and Thomas Meseraull went flipping with Christian’s car landing on Stapp’s hood. It ripped off the right front shock tower but that didn’t stop The “Tree City Tornado” from restarting the race. He would restart on the tail after the Wee 3 crew removed the mangled right front shock. J.T. passed 4 cars in the opening laps until he went high in turn 3 to avoid a slowing car and was hit from behind glancing the right front tire off the guardrail and flattening it. Stapp pulled into the pits and finished a frustrating 18th. J.T., Josh Sweat and the Wee 3 Racing Team got the car fixed and ready for a special mid week show at the Twin Cities Raceway Park in Vernon Indiana. This has been a good track for Stapp. It started off well a decent qualifying run and a 5th place finish in his Heat Race to transfer to the 30 Lap A-Main. There were 24 strong race cars in the pits but only 20 would be in the Feature. J.T. would start the Feature in the 13th position and would have to avoid a first lap crash as Brett Burdette spun right in front of Stapp. They would both restart the race in their original starting spots. J.T. would maintain inside the Top 12 for the first half of the race until he was pinched into an infield tire marker by a car driven by Jared Harris. This would end his night since the car would no longer steer with the bent drag link and tie rod. J.T. would end up 19th and looks to rebound this Saturday night. This Saturday July 17th The “TREE CITY TORNADO” will be in action at the ¼ mile high-banked dirt oval of the Mt. Vernon Raceway in Mt. Vernon Illinois. J.T. and the Wee 3 Racing Team are currently 2nd in Driver and Car Owner Points in the American Sprint Car Tour. This will be the first visit for Stapp or the ASCT to the facility.
