NEMA

Young Talent |
In 2025 NEMA fans will have their eyes on an
exciting rookie, RJ Deighton, a rising star on the
motorsports scene. RJ has an impressive track record in the
NASCAR Youth Series, where he dominated with four
championships in a single season. RJ is now stepping up to
compete in the ultra-competitive Northeastern Midget
Association series and is poised for success! Most recently,
RJ showed off his skills in a restricted wingless 600 Racing
at Airport Speedway in Newcastle Delaware.
As RJ gets
ready for his debut in a NEMA midgets, preparation will be
key. RJ said his approach is multifaceted. "To prepare
myself, I go out to the garage and learn more about the
cars. That way, when I'm on the track, I can better
communicate with my dad about how the car is handling. I
also train on the simulator to get a feel for different
track conditions, so I know what to expect in real-world
racing". Staying mentally and physically prepared is just as
important as having a fast car, and RJ has a solid pre-race
routine. "Before each race, I scope out the track and figure
out what lines I can take to be fast".
One of the
biggest transitions facing RJ will be adjusting to the
handling and setup of the NEMA cars. But RJ is no stranger
to these types of adjustments. "The car handling is
definitely different than a micro 600, but they feel pretty
similar to a quarter midget". But he's not resting on his
laurels. He is continuing to hone his skills in key areas
like downforce management, and learning when to lift or push
depending on the track conditions.
With his first NEMA
season around the corner, RJ has set some lofty, yet
realistic goals. "My goal for the 2025 season is to earn
consistent top 5 or top 10 finishes." he says. "If I feel
like I'm really exceeding, I'd love to get a victory or at
least finish in the top 3". It's a humble, yet ambitious goal
for someone with such a strong foundation in racing. Every
young racer needs guidance, and RJ is fortunate to have some
of the best in the business in his corner. "I've been
learning a lot from Tim Bertrand, Avery Stoehr, and the
whole Bertrand Motorsports crew." When it comes to who he
looks up to in the NEMA division, RJ states "I really look
up to two teams: Bertrand Motorsports and Matt Seymour
Racing (MSR). Both teams have great drivers with amazing
skills, and I hope to race like them someday." Behind every
great racer is a strong support system, and RJ is no
exception. "I have a lot of people supporting me--my family,
friends, and everyone who helps me get faster in the car. My
dad is my biggest supporter. He's always there to help me
get better and better, race after race." This unwavering
support will be essential as RJ navigates the highs and lows
of his first season in the NEMA series.
While racing
is clearly RJ's passion, he also enjoys activities off the
track that help him stay physically and mentally sharp.
"Outside of racing, I like to play lacrosse and go to
football games," With his strong foundation in racing,
dedicated work ethic, and a team of experienced mentors
behind him, RJ Deighton is ready to make his mark in the
Northeastern Midget Association. RJ's Beast Gearte midget
will be exciting to watch for the 2025 season and beyond.
Keep an eye out for this rising star as he makes his debut
in the NEMA series. |

DOUG CLEVELAND
|
For Doug Cleveland it began at Westboro Speedway in
1975.
"First race of the season, said Doug, "Being a
rookie I started in the back of the pack and in the feature
I saw a hole that didn't end up being totally there and I
ripped the rear end out of the car. That was a pretty rough
track but I loved it."
It's been a lifelong love
affair with NEMA from then on for the entire Cleveland clan
with Doug racing his own equipment for much of that time,
supported by brothers, uncles, girlfriends, and wife Linda,
to whom Doug proposed to at a NEMA banquet.
His first
win came in 1977 driving for Jim O'Brien in St. Pie, Quebec.
And then it was over 16,800 days before the next one at
Lee USA. He didn't have to wait as long for the next at
Waterford this year. Two end of season races.
"Lee is
actually the better track for me," said Doug. "Waterford
seems to me like over the years I've had some decent runs
but never as good as I had this day. The strange thing is
the last two races that I've won I almost didn't really want
to go. We got there late both times. We got a good parking
spot both times. This time I got there late enough so I
couldn't make the first practice. I didn't have tires.
(Bobby) Seymour was out in Indiana so I was going through my
pile of tires and I picked out the best ones I had. So they
were all used tires except for my right rear for the day
because Peter Valeri came over and said 'I understand you
might need a right rear tire.' I said 'Well yeah, I do, what
do you want for it?' He said, 'Go out and win.'
"I
won my heat, walked over to him with a little trophy and
said 'I'm halfway there.' After the feature when I won it I
went over to him and said, 'I did what you asked! Thank
you!'
"Towards the end of the race (Paul) Scally was
right there and he got inside me going down the backstretch
and actually got ahead of me but as we were coming out of
the corner I kinda squeezed him down and he had to back out.
I saw Randy at the end of the straight away and I caught up
to him and slowed down in the corner to use him as a pick.
That's how I ended up winning it by two car lengths."
He won, as usual, with a car of his own making.
"I bent the tubing, welded the tubing, made all the
suspension points, made a lot of the suspension parts. I try
to use whatever I can in the house and the garage instead of
going out and spending money on it.
"One time I needed
something to turn my fuel on and off right out at my
injectors and I was trying to figure out how to do it. I
found a curtain rod holder and made that work."
A
Mopar engine powered him to his last two victories. "I've
had help with this one through John Andruk from Circle
Performance. I go down to his shop and he helps me out, but
I basically did the original Mopar and I'm pretty much using
all those parts.
"I like the quickness of the car,
it's a small enough car so I can continue to work on it."
What's next for this NEMA legend?
"Two years ago
I was thinking of retiring, said Doug "and every time I get
to that point I end up with a win, so I guess I'm going for
another season.
"I'm like a block of cheese. I just
get better with age." |
