GIBSONTON, Fla. (Jan. 27) — If Richie Stephens had never earned the right to go by his nickname “Rocketman” in the past, he certainly earned the moniker during the Rogers-Dabbs Performance Parts Crate Racin’ USA Winter Shootout Series Florida Winternationals finale held Saturday night at East Bay Raceway Park.

GIBSONTON, Fla. (Jan. 25) — Tyler Millwood admits that he’s not a huge fan of points racing.
