Jake Mataya Takes 2013 ICE Speedway Manufacturers Cup Championship in Grand Finale at Evansville's Ford Center

Jake Mataya on the #29 Kawasaki KX450F takes the outside line during heat race #3 at the ICE Speedway Championship Manufacturers Cup round at the U.S. Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington, IL. on January 21, 2012, and went on to win his heat and take the 3rd-place spot on the evening behind eventual winner Jared Mees and runner-up Kevin Anderson.  Holding firm on the inside line is Bryan McKenna on the #19 Honda CRF450R, with Mark Cheza #16 on his Honda just behind, with Brandan Bergen on the #26 Honda just behind Mataya.

With the mostly absent Mees not running the full schedule during the off-season after capturing the 2012 title, Mataya dominated the ICE Speedway Cup Series in 2013 and won the championship for the first time over runner-up Kirk Cheney by 32 points (330-298 total points) in the eight-race ICE Speedway Championship.

Last weekend's final event of the season, held in Evansville, Indiana's Ford Center, saw the 2013 title decided in front of a packed house for the 37th Annual World Championship ICE Racing Series.

You can check out the full press release below thanks to the great folks from the ICE Speedway Championship, and be sure to mark this one on your calendar for next winter, as the action is hot and heavy and well worth the price of admission!

2013World Championship ICE Racing Series
37TH ANNUAL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ICE RACING SERIES GRAND FINALE FEBRUARY 23, 2013 THE FORD CENTER EVANSVILLE, INDIANA MATAYA & CROUCH TAKE HOME WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP GOLD!! A packed house was on hand at the Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana to see the Grand Finale of the 37th Annual World Championship ICE Racing Series. You could cut the tension with a knife as everyone in the building knew there were two World Championships on the line. The racing was very exciting with plenty of thrills and spills to wow the fans. Cup Bike Heat Races started the night's action off. The first was a wild one that ended with contact and tempers heated. "Sideways" Sammy Wiggins-Coatesville, PA made the last lap pass as he dashed to the finish line over Shea Knuth-Bloomington, IL and Tom "Freight Train" McGrane-Gap, PA. Knuth took exception to the "Freight Train's" aggressive riding style and let his opinion be heard throughout the pits. Fortunately cooler heads prevailed. Other Round-1 Heat winners were "Fly'n" Brian McKenna-Boston, MA and Jake "The Snake" Mataya-Blaine, MN. Round-2 Heats were won by Wiggins; McKenna and "Captain" Kirk Cheney-Hastings, MI keeping his World Championship hopes alive. Both Cheney and Mataya had a win and a second in their Heats so there was no change in their 32 WC Point spread led by "The Snake". With 40 WC Points up for grabs to win the Main Event it was still wide open on who would be the 2013 Champion. Tom McGrane with 3rd and 4th place Heat finishes was now mathematically out of the WC Title Chase. Next up was the Bike LCQ to decide who would make up the back row starting positions of the Main Event. Hard charging Austin Greenland-Spring Mills, PA dominated this race start to finish followed by Jay "The Jackhammer" Maloney-Oakland,NJ; Tom McGrane and Darren Carter-Bloomington, IL all transferring on to the Main. Done for the night in respective order were Knuth; Kyle McGrane-Gap, PA; first timers on the ice Nick McFadden-Owensboro, KY & Greg Childers-Evansville, IN followed by Brittany Powell-Bloomington, IL who is improving every start she makes. The Main Event was now set and ready to go. All the marbles were on the line - the 2013 World Championship and the first ever Evansville Ice Racing Champion was about to be decided. Cheney shot out from the gate to take the early lead. He desperately needed to win for a chance at the Title. But on the second lap Greenland amazingly forced his way to the front from a second row starting spot to lead Cheney and Mataya. On the 4th lap of this 8 lapper "The Snake" struck once again to take second from Cheney setting his sights on Greenland. Going in to the final lap it looked like Jake was going to have a shot at the win but Greenland gutted it out to hang on for his first major league ice racing victory. He was followed closely by Mataya; Cheney; McGrane; McKenna; Carter; Maloney and Wiggins respectively. 2013 was an awesome competitive season of racing for the ICE Manufacturers World Cup Motorcycles crowning a great new World Champion in Jake "The Snake" Mataya. Cheney kept things close through the last night of racing. Greenland promises to be a strong contender for the future. ICE Rookie-of-the-Year honors went to young Kyle McGrane. Special ICE MVP Awards were given to Tom McGrane and Kirk Cheney for extraordinary efforts on and off the track. Congratulations to all the racers for a great season! The ICE Unlimited Outlaw Quads had their own World Championship battle on the line tonight with three racers still in the hunt at the Grand Finale. Dusty Crouch-Topeka, KS with a 32 WC Point lead over Kevin "Cool Hand" Smith-Overbrook, KS and Mandy "Wild Child" Brodil-Poplar Branch, NC with an outside chance to win her 6th WC Title. The First Round Heat Race winners were Brian Sommers-Burlington, WI; Jeff Brodil-Grandy, NC and Crouch. Round-2 winners were Jeff Brodil; Ken "Stuntman" Remer-Burlington, WI and Chuck "The Ice Man" Calvert-Madison, WI. In this last Heat Race of the night Mandy Brodil and Smith got tangled up going into turn one sending her #1 Quad to the infield. In the process she looped her machine backwards throwing the "Wild Child" to the ice surface. She landed on her back hitting her head violently on the ice. After several minutes Mandy decided to compete in the re-start finishing second. A short time later Mandy became ill in the pits and sought out help from the attending medical crew. She was diagnosed with a concussion, her second in two seasons, and subsequently transported to the hospital for further observation. Her hopes for a 6th World Championship Title were over. The Outlaw Quad LCQ was all Sommers taking the lead from the Pole and never looking back. The three other riders transferring to the Main in order of their finish were Ryan "Hit Man" Kaufman-Table Grove, IL; Anthony Demeo-Woodland Park, NJ and Smith. Just missing the cut was Brandon Davis-Danvers, IL on the Harley powered Thunder Quad and Cody Norton-Cooksville, IL. The Outlaw Main was a wild one that would determine this year's World Champion. When the starting gate was released by ICE Official Referee Robert Arms Jeff Brodil, Mandy's Dad, shot off the Pole staring position with front wheels in the air! By the time he reached the first turn he was being pushed hard from the outside into the infield. Brodil wasn't able to recover as the rest of the field raced on. Crouch had excellent position on the track racing away in the lead followed by Calvert and Remer. On lap two of this six lapper Remer forced the issue and got by Calvert for second followed through by Demeo and Smith. Then suddenly, on lap three, Demeo cuts under the turn 1-2 pole markers causing his disqualification. The very next lap saw Kaufman get by Calvert for 4th and that's how it all ended up as they crossed the finish line. Crouch had won the race convincingly and his first World Championship! Remer finished second, his career best, with Smith taking the last Podium spot locking down 2nd overall in this year's WC Title Chase. The rest of the field as they scored were Kaufman; Calvert; Sommers; Jeff Brodil (DNF) and Demeo (DQ'd). All the Special Awards and WC Points Fund checks and trophies were presented at the private banquet immediately following tonight's event. ICE Rookie-of-the-Year honors went to Eric Jennings-Otisville, NY; co-ICE MVP's were Ken Remer and Chuck Calvert. The prestigious Bob Hetrick Memorial Sportsman Award was presented to Mandy Brodil for outstanding achievements and goodwill, on and off the track, supporting and promoting the sport of World Championship Ice Racing. Unfortunately Mandy and her family were unable to be present to accept the award due to Mandy's injury. The last word was Mandy is improving and was cleared to travel home to North Carolina. I know I'm speaking for all her friends and fans in ice racing wishing her a speedy and complete recovery. On a special night of racing a very special moment took place on the ice. Shortly after his third successful attempt this year at the Ring of Fire Quad Jump in Evansville, under the spotlights and on the house PA system, Ken Remer proposed to his long time girlfriend Kristie Knack. Totally surprised she accepted! On that happy note we'll sign off for another great season of World Championship ICE Racing. Congratulations to the new World Champions Jake Mataya and Dusty Crouch!

2012 World Championship ICE Racing Series Championship Weekend!

WHAT: 36th Annual World Championship Ice Racing Series Grand Finale

WHERE: Cambria County War Memorial - Johnstown, PA

WHEN: Saturday Night February 4th at 7:30PM

WHO: World's Top Professional Indoor Ice Racers

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MOTORCYCLE ICE RACING FINALE THIS WEEKEND AT CAMBRIA COUNTY WAR MEMORIAL ARENA

The stage is now set for what could be the most exciting and dramatic conclusion to a World Championship ice racing season in the sport's 36 year history. Two World Champions will be crowned Saturday night after 2 1/2 hours of high speed action packed racing has been contested.

The thoroughbreds of ice racing are the exotic Manufacturers World Cup Motorcycles. Lightning quick state-of-the-art bikes with powerful 4-stroke engines that propel riders from 0-60MPH in less than 3 seconds - on ice! These lightweight aluminum framed factory race bikes are made by the world's leading manufacturers including Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki and others. The engine size and overall bike weight, wheel sizes and machine dimensions are very similar with all the different marks creating parity on the race track. Creating an atmosphere of parity with the machines allows the racer and his tuner's talents to be showcased and not so much the motorcycle.

The ICE/International Championship Events sanctioned World Championship Ice Racing Series attracts many of the top professional riders on the planet. Heading up the field in Johnstown is "Jammin" Jared Mees formerly from Honey Brook, PA now making Clio, MI his home. Mees is 3-time and defending Ice Racing World Champion. He also owns two AMA Grand National Dirt Track Championships racing his XR750 Harley-Davidson during the summer months. Jared is the odds on favorite to win it all Saturday night but there are some heavy hitters coming to town that would like nothing more than to ruin his night. Just a few of the notables are 2009 World Champion Kevin "The Viking" Anderson from Cambridge, MN; "Captain" Kirk Cheney from Hastings, MI; "Freight Train" Tom McGrane from Gapp, PA and "Sideways" Sammy Wiggins from Pomeroy, PA.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The second professional division of competition are the almost indescribable ICE Unlimited Outlaw Quads. These wild and wooley machines are best known for having almost no rules. They are custom built from scratch or highly modified 4-wheel ATV's, designed and set-up specifically for indoor ice racing. Any size engine is allowed, any chassis configuration can run, any fuel, nitrous oxide is OK - well you get the picture. One of the few rules that all pros must comply with, in both 2-wheel and 4-wheel competition, only Silver Rockets Ice Racing Studs are allowed to be installed in the tires. The amount is unlimited but the exact stud make is strictly regulated, once again to create parity. These specially made razor sharp directional studs can be "tuned" by the mechanics to achieve great forward drive and sidebite, sometimes more than the rider can handle! Wild, fast bump and grind action is what the Outlaw Quads are famous for. Wrecks on the tight indoor ice tracks are common.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This weekend's Quad World Championship Finale just could be history in the making. There is a strong possibility the sport of arena ice racing may see its first 5-time World Champion crowned. Surprising to many is the racer capable of accomplishing this unprecedented feat is a lady! Veteran of 14 years of professional ice racing 4-time and defending World Champion Mandy "Wild Child" Brodil from Poplar Branch, NC goes into Saturday night's competition with a strong WC Points lead. It's not a done deal but if she can win her two Heat Races it's all over. If Mandy doesn't do that she will have to come back with a strong Main Event finish to win her 5th Title, something no other rider has achieved in either pro ice racing division.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Outlaw Quads offer racers and fans rough, no holds barred, anything goes competition and they attract some of the most colorful characters in all of racing. Riders hoping to spoil Mandy's night and win the big cash are Chuck Calvert from Madison, WI with his Harley-Davidson V-Twin powered "Thunder Quad"; "Stuntman" Ken Remer from Burlington, WI; team "Kansas Tornados" Dusty Crouch, Justin McGilton and Kevin Smith all from Topeka; Mark Blythstone and Jason Fisher from near by Indiana, PA just to name a few.

ICE Speedway 2012 Round 4 Round-Up From 'The Big One' in Bloomington, IL.

Round 4 of the 2012 ICE Speedway Series at the U.S. Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington, IL. saw a turnout of 18 riders show up to do battle in the Manufacturers Cup Bike class, in the return to the central Illinois arena that the series' competitors label 'The Big One.'  With space at a premium in the pit area, riders and team members-alike work closely with one another throughout the evening's events in prepping their machines for the upcoming racing.  #27 Rob 'Bugs' Pearson's Yamaha, #18 Derek Hersh's Kawasaki, #99 Tom McGrane's Kawasaki (partially hidden), #1 Jared Mees' Honda and #15 Kirk Cheney's Honda all sit ready for battle.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jared Mees sits on his #1 Honda during the victory circle ceremonies at round 4 of 2012 ICE Speedway Series after winning his fourth main event of the year.  Mees has swept the series' events this year with one round remaining in the 2012 schedule slated for February 4 in Johnstown, PA.  The Glens Falls, NY round was canceled after the schedule was announced in early December 2011.  The ICE Series is celebrating 36 seasons of hosting indoor ice racing across the United States.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jay Maloney #21, Austin Greenland #31 and AMA Pro Flat Track regular #44 Brandon Robinson roll out for heat 1 of the Manufacturers Cup Bike class.  Tom McGrane (not shown) would take the first heat win over Greenland, Maloney and Robinson to get the action started for the evening.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ICE Speedway introduces each of the riders for the evening, and their opening ceremonies are 'WWE'-like in their light show, announcing and music areas while also getting the crowd fired-up as well.  Jared Mees, the 3-Time and defending ICE Speedway Series Manufacturers Cup Bike Champion is announced to the house to a rousing ovation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mees #1 leads Brandon Bergen #26 and Dan Ingram #16 during the 10th and final heat of the evening at Bloomington's round 4 ICE event.  Ingram was running Mark Cheza's #16, as his own #22 mount wouldn't fire for the heat race.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bryan McKenna #19 leads Mark Cheza #16, Jake Mataya #29 and Brandon Bergen #26 during heat 3 action.  Mataya would triumph over McKenna, Cheza and Bergen in this one.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dan Ingram's #22 Honda sits in the pits before the action kicks off at the U.S. Cellular Coliseum round in Bloomington, IL. on January 21, 2012.  Ingram's father Sam (center), himself a former AMA Flat Track regular, talks with Jeff Gordon of Speedway Engine Development in Indianapolis.  Gordon is a long-time fan of flat track racing and also helps to sponsor Dan's efforts.  Speedway Engines develops the motors for the Indy Lights program as well as for Kasey Kahne's USAC Sprint and Midget teams.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sam Wiggins #56 leads Austin Greenland #31, Tom McGrane #99 and Ben Knight #85 during heat 7 of the evening's events in Bloomington.  Greenland would come out on top over Wiggins, McGrane and Knight.  Wiggins was doing double-duty while also racing in the Unlimited Outlaw Quads class.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Unlimited Outlaw Quads take to the ice inside the U.S. Cellular Coliseum on January 21, with #29 Todd McGuire leading Kevin Smith #33, Dusty Crouch #144 and Bryce Allen #16 in heat one.

Dusty Crouch's #144 Honda Unlimited Outlaw Quad sits in the pit area ready to go at round 4 of the 2012 ICE Speedway Series season at Bloomington's U.S. Cellular Coliseum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mandy 'The Wild Child' Brodil gets ready to roll out for heat 3 of the night in the Outlaw Quads class.  Brodil, the 4-Time and defending World ICE Quad Champion, was the night's biggest star at Bloomington in the Quads Series, drawing a large round of applause each time she took to the track.  She won this heat over Brennon Frazier #17 (shown entering at rear of shot), Chuck Calvert #61 and Brandon Davis #36.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The LCQ race for the Unlimited Outlaw Quads saw Mandy Brodil #1 try to get the inside line out of turn 2 on the first lap over the rest of the field.  After winning both of her heats, she would finish a strong 3rd in the LCQ event to earn her place in the Quad main.

'The Wild Child' would suffer a wild get-off during the main event race, which would see her quad leap into the infield of the track and ultimately spit her off of the highside.  What looked like a nasty result ended with her trying to remount to finish the race, but not being able to restart her machine, even after help from several competitors including Cup Champ Jared Mees.  They did finally get it going, but was ruled ineligible after it went past the two-minute mark to get it back on the starting line.

Things got a little ugly with the paying crowd, who the majority of felt she deserved to be able to re-start.  Someone in the crowd then tossed a plastic beer bottle on the track protesting the call, with thankfully no one getting hit by it.  ICE Series officials went by the rules, which even Brodil mentioned on her Facebook and Twitter pages was 'fair' per the call.  No word on if the idiot that tossed the bottle was found and removed from the evening's final events.

Unfortunately, Brodil was admitted to her local hospital mid-week for tests as a result of the accident, but was said to be recovering after returning home and was looking forward to tying up her 5th ICE Quad Championship in Pennsylvania next weekend. 

Also in action in this LCQ shot are Brennon Frazier #17 (the eventual winner of the LCQ race), Drew Bergquist #7 (2nd in LCQ), Ryan Jensen #161 (4th in LCQ and eventual Quad main winner), Todd McGuire #29, Brian Fischer #4, Sammy Wiggins #6 and Dan Jensen #21.

Heat 2 action in the Unlimited Outlaw Quads class sees eventual heat winner Justin McGilton #331 take the inside line over Zach Thomas #31 (4th), Garrett Dean #3 (2nd) and eventual event winner Ryan Jensen #161 (3rd) into turn one.
