Pa. Sprint Car veteran Pruitt Looking for team.

Veteran Sprint car driver Kyle Pruitt is looking for a team to race with in 2013.



"Due to the economy I can not field a team on my own at this time", says Pruitt. The Veteran has raced in Pa for the past 8 seasons in 410s, 358s and 360s with numerous top tens, and heat wins against the toughest competition outside the World of Outlaws. He has 2 main event wins also in 305s at Virginia Motor Speedway. " I would really like to get with a team that knows the tracks and setups so we can work together for wins and consistency". Pruitt says for the right team he can bring along some financial and parts help so the team can keep fresh equipment and race hard. Any interested owners can contact Kyle direct at 301-676-8456.

Point Chase Starts Saturday at Mercer Raceway Park

Mercer, PA (April 9, 2013): After a successful Chiller Thriller, Mercer Raceway Park will host its first Saturday Night Live! event of the 2013 racing season on April 13. And, to add to the excitement, the points chase will begin immediately for all six of the classes. All but one of the reigning champions are expected to be on hand to begin their title defenses. Eric Williams, of Greenville, will look to build upon a remarkable 2012 racing season. In addition to snaring his first championship at Mercer Raceway Park, "Turkey" was a top five finisher at Lernerville Speedway last year. He will go to the post in his familiar number 7 Sprint Car. He will get plenty of competition from Scott Priester, pilot of the Martha Dionise number 15. Although he did not pick up a feature win, Priester was one of the most consistent runners at the speedway. The father and son duo of Brent and Brandon Matus, and many more, will be on hand. The 410 Sprint Car division will be presented by Luxaire Heating & Cooling and New Wilmington Motors in 2013. The Approved Toilet Rentals 358 Modified class will be up for grabs in 2013, as Greenville's Rob Curtis is likely to miss the opening event. His car owner, Larry Riffe, reported last week that the team has yet to secure some needed financial support for the campaign. There will be no shortage of talent, though. Former champions Jimmy Holden and Frankie Guidace are ready. Mix in veterans like Lonnie Riggs, Matt Reeher, Ron Eperthener, and Kyle Fink, and young drivers like Max Smoker and Makayla Guidace, and you have the makings of a pretty stout field. Joe McEwen, of Mercer, will lead the way in the Outlaw Sprint Warriors. That class is under the Bonnell's Collision Center banner for 2013. Interest is running high for this division, as thee were more Sprint Warriors than any other class represented at the annual car show. Rookie of the year C.J. Jones, Cavalcade award winner Jimmy Morris, Harold Braden, Jr., and Jacob Lagastee were just some of the other drivers who had their cars on display, so you know that they will be ready for action. Trusty Rusty Moore was flying at the Chiller Thriller in his Stock Car before he pitted due to a mechanical problem. The New Castle driver got it fixed and returned to finish sixth. He'll be looking to get a jump on a three-peat in the Precise Racing Products sponsored class. It won't be easy, though, as Joe Kelley and a host of others will try to unseat him. The question of the day will be whether Hot Rod Laskey can get his mount repaired after his hard front stretch crash last week. Can Mark Marcucci match his stellar performance in the Modified Lites? The racer from West Middlesex dominated the division in 2012, but 2011 champ Darrin Gallagher will be ready to take him on. A number of Mercer Mod Lite drivers saw action in Florida in February, so a banner field is expected. Once again, the class benefactors are Big Daddy's Speed Center and Rock Concrete. Evans City's Steve Longwell, Jr. will go for family bragging rights, as well as an early points lead this Saturday. His father, Steve Sr., and his brother-in-law, Joel Wisser, would like to set him back a notch or two, though. Ed Haylett reported last week that he'll have his "green machine" ready to go, too. The Mini Stocks will race for Eperthener's Auto Wrecking and Ray's Racing Collectibles this season. Gates will open at 4, hot laps will start at 6:30, and racing will begin at 7. General admission for adults will be $13. Seniors (60 and over) will be $11, and students (ages 9-18) will be $5. Children (8 and under) are always free. The economical Family Pass will be $28 and that will be good for up to two adults and four minors. Pit passes will be $25. Remember that alerts regarding any cancellation of the racing activity can be sent to your smart phone or other electronic devices. Just go to the track website and click on the icon for RainedOut.com and follow the easy steps to sign up.

Patriot Sprint Tour Teams Prepare for Gater Motorsports Expo 2013

Rich Vleck, ROCHESTER, NY, (February 23, 2013)- Ten years ago this spring, a new sprint series came on to the scene to carve out a new tradition, one that now gets set for a second decade, which begins with the annual trade show that kicked off each of the first 10 years. Coming Saturday and Sunday, March 9 and 10, the Patriot Sprint Tour will once again have a strong presence at the Gater Racing News Motorsports Exposition and Trade Show. For this 10th anniversary season, six of the young guns of the series will have their cars on display to make the PST booth one of the can’t-miss spots in the New York State Fairground’s Center of Progress Building.

Taking center stage this year will be Scott Kreutter, of Alden, NY, the defending PST America Champion. Kreutter will look to defend his title this year in his Hoddick Motorsports entry. Four-time PST Champion Bryan Howland, of Auburn, NY, was second in points last year and has been a staple at the Motorsports Expo ever since his first series title back in 2005. Fourth in points last year was Tommy Wickham, of Constantia, NY and will be in the PST booth for the first time, as will his travel partners Steven Hutchinson Jr. and Brandan Warner. Hutchinson, of Oswego, was the 2012 Insinger Race Fuels Rookie of the Year while Warner, of Liverpool, NY, had his No. 10b named the best-appearing car of 2012. Bruce DeWick, of Geneva, NY, has already started his 2013 season, competing in Florida, and will have his car on display as he gets set for a full assault on the PST America tour this year. The 27th annual Motorsports Expo is once again packed into two big days, starting off on Saturday at 10:00 A.M. and lasting until 9:00 P.M. On Sunday, the show will run from 11:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. Gater Racing News, the host for this great event, will also be presenting the Hard Charger of the Season Award for the Patriot Sprint Tour, the eighth year of this fun series.

A busy Memorial Day weekend was on tap for Paige Polyak both on and off the race track. Saturday, the team loaded up for the first of a 2 day show at Fremont Speedway. On a very wet and heavy track, a high pill draw landed Paige a 6th place starting spot in the 3rd heat. A misjudging of the gear on the heavy track, Paige fell back to an 8th place finish in the heat. After some adjustments and a gear change, she would start the B Main in the 9th and final starting spot. Making a charge from the time the green dropped to the checkered flew, Paige raced up to 3rd, earning an A Main transfer position. With starting 18th in the A Main, another charge was in store for the 27 entry, passing 5 cars in the first few laps, Paige was on the move again. Keeping an eye on the temp gauge due to some over heating concerns, Paige was sitting just outside the top 10 on the lap 13 caution. Entering the top 10 a few laps later, Polyak was running the cushion hard in 1 and 2. A last lap pass coming off turn 4, earned a 6th place finish and the hard charger award for the 2nd race in a row.

Sunday morning the focus switched for a few hours away from racing as Paige and twin sister Kelsey prepared for their high school graduation ceremony. Leaving high school for the last time, the race was on to Fremont Speedway to be reunited with her sprint car. Another bad pill draw resulted in a 6th place heat race starting position. Needing a 4th place finish to get into the A Main invert, Paige raced into the 4th position before the checkered flag fell. Being able to use her average points now that she has raced two shows at Fremont, Paige would start 4th in the A Main. A lap 2 mishap resulted in a spin and restarting at the tail end of the 22 car field. Once the green was displayed the charge was on from the tail once again. By the halfway mark, Paige was sitting in the 14th position. With the field stretching out each lap and only one caution to bunch the field up, charging through the pack was a bit harder on this night. As the checkered flag flew, Paige crossed the finish line in 11th, once again making a great charge from the back of the pack. Not the finish she was hoping for on graduation day but, the car rolled into the trailer and is set to return to the track on June 8th. A thanks goes out to the racing family members that helped in the new radiator purchase for Sunday and to The Hawk for his help this weekend. The HE Rudy Trucking, Steyer Seed, Bryan Auto Plaza, JLH Construction, Handy Grafix, Napa Auto Parts of Bryan, Circle H Tire, Lakeshore Electric Motor, Ned F Gregg Reality, Meggitt Powder Coating, Kistler Race Products, Oliver Motorsports entry will return to action the weekend of June 8th and 9th.

*Carl Bowser Prepares to Make 2012 Debut, Announces Partnership with Eagle

*April 13, 2012 (Sarver, PA)* – After a busy offseason, Carl Bowser and the
Bowser Motorsports team are preparing to make their 2012 debut on
April 20that Lernerville Speedway. Not only will it be the team’s
first race of the
season but Bowser will also be behind the wheel of an Eagle Chassis – the
team’s newest marketing partner.



“We’re very excited to kick off the 2012 season with this new Eagle
partnership,” Bowser said. “Bill Mann and Brad Aylesworth are building a
program at Eagle that we felt we had to be a part of.”



Eagle Motorsports, based in Springfield, Illinios, has been producing
championship-winning cars for over a decade. Combining Eagle’s long history
of quality manufacturing with recent additions to the Eagle team, including
Aylesworth, Sales Manager, and Mike Long, Director of Operations, clinched
the partnership for Bowser.



“We really believe that Eagle is putting out the best chassis on the
market,” Bowser described. “Brad and Mike understand my driving style, and
this chassis will fit me well. I’m ready to get out there and put some wins
on it.”



Bowser struck up a rapport with Aylesworth and Long after the trio met in
2005. When Eagle expressed their desire to put a car in the Western
Pennsylvania region, Bowser was excited to be tapped for the job.



“Relationships with our customers and the level of service we are able to
provide is what Eagle Motorsports core values are based on,” Long stated.
“To reunite with Carl and continue to build on this relationship is very
exciting.



“Carl’s an experienced driver who’s on and off track actions have always
exhibited exemplary character. The Eagle Motorsports team is prepared to
ensure Bowser Motorsports performance is elevated to the highest level.”



As defending track champion, Bowser anticipates Lernerville Speedway to be
a regular stop on his 2012 tour, along with other tracks in the region
including Pittsburgh’s Pennsylvania Motor Speedway, Mercer Raceway Park,
Fremont Speedway, and Attica Raceway Park. Bowser also plans to travel
outside of the region for various major events.

NOUSE HOPES TO CONTINUE ANNUAL WIN STREAK THROUGH 2012

While Kevin Nouse is preparing to make his debut in the Dietz Motorsports #14 this Saturday at the “Icebreaker 30” for 410ci. powered Sprint Cars at Lincoln Speedway, he also is preparing to continue is annual win streak to 17 consecutive years with an A-Main victory.

Kevin’s streak, which began on Memorial Day in 1996 at the Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway while driving a 270cc Micro Sprint, is something that Kevin is very proud of. “The streak is something that I didn’t even think about until it was at about 10 years or so” Kevin said. “Then it just continued every year until now, and it’s something that’s pretty cool to me. I’ve never been able to put up huge win totals on a yearly basis, but winning at least one race for the last 16 years is an accomplishment that not many drivers can say they have done.”

Another reason for Kevin to be proud of this accomplishment is the fact that he was able to win in so many different styles of cars, and at multiple race tracks. To date, Kevin has wins in 125cc, 270cc and 600cc Micro Sprints, Super Sportsman, 358 Sprint Cars and 410 Sprint Cars at 17 different speedways throughout the United States.

Kevin attributes being a quick learner to his success in such a wide variety of cars. “I always picked up the driving techniques of different kinds of cars pretty quickly. Once I moved into the bigger cars, such as the Super Sportsman, it took a little bit longer. But luckily, we were still able to win a few races as a rookie in that, and then as a rookie again with the 358 cars.”

When asked if he has a favorite win that sticks out above the rest, Kevin quickly replied. “Going to Tulsa, Oklahoma in 2000 and winning a Golden Driller Trophy at the Tulsa Shootout is definitely the win that I’m most proud of. It was only my 3rd career 600cc Micro Sprint start and there were like 90 cars in my class and we dominated the entire weekend there. That was pretty awesome.”

This season, Kevin will have many opportunities to continue his streak. In addition to driving the Dietz Motorsports #14 410 Sprint Car at Lincoln Speedway on a weekly basis, Kevin will again be behind the wheel of the familiar #21T 358 Sprint Car for Mansberger-Nouse Motorsports. That team will concentrate its efforts at Williams Grove Speedway, as well as some additional races that don’t conflict with his 410 schedule.

And for Kevin, it’s all about having a good time. “I’m not going to drive one of these things forever, so it’s important to enjoy the experience while you’re doing it. I certainly haven’t had a Hall of Fame type career like some of my competitors have had, and that’s fine. But the streak is something that I can hang my hat on and it’s also something that nobody can ever take away from me. I just hope to continue it one more year and enjoy the hell out of it while I’m doing it.”

K-C/Atomic Speedway For Sale

CHILLICOTHE, OHIO- The historic Atomic Speedway, most recently Schrader's K-C Raceway, near Chillicothe, Ohio is up for sale and as of press time will not open in 2012.
Tough economic times and bad weather that resulted in small attendance figures at various junctures--including last spring, whittled away at the economic foundation to keep the track open. While car counts were at near record numbers, and the racing was the same high quality that Atomic was historically known for, the economics of sustaining another season were not there. Over the past three years, the speedway was owned and operated by Jeff and Vicki Schrader.
"As of Monday the track is again 100 percent mine," said Jimmy Nier. "And the whole operation is up for sale. If I keep it, the track will not open in 2012. At this point in my life I want to dedicate my time to my racing and my family."
Nier is a talented Sprint car driver in the Midwest and is a two-time K-C Champion as well as winning a "Night the Stars Come Out" championship and posting wins with the All-Star Circuit of Champions. Most recently, Nier has been one of the top guns in the Ohio Valley Sprint Car circuit.
"The first time around I put a ton of money into making improvements. I love that place and that's why I bought it the first time around; to keep it open. But as I said before when we put it up for sale three years ago, I don't want to see my Mom and Dad work themselves to death at the race track. If I own it, I know that is what they would do. They love Atomic Speedway as well."
Nier bought the track from Jason Laugherty, who after one night of being an owner-promoter threw in the towel. For the previous 18 years, the Karshner family operated the speedway as K-C Raceway.
In 1953 a group of Chillicothe businessmen realized a plan that had been in the making for several years. The group, which consisted of racing fans, drivers, and car owners, sought to provide a premier racing facility for the rapidly growing sport they knew as Stock Car Racing. It was a sport they lived and loved. It was the vision of this particular group of men--the Chillicothe Stock Car Racing Association-- that led to the construction of Atomic Speedway, which became known nationwide as K-C Raceway in 1985. As of October 14, 2011 K-C Raceway once again became Atomic Speedway in a move the Schrader's hoped would help bring prosperity back to the track.
Nier noted that the track "can be a money maker".
"The first couple years we ran the place, I tried to run it like a race fan and we lost money. The last few years we ran it like a business and we made money. If someone comes along and runs it like a business, I am confident they will make a go of it."
"As much as I hate to see the track close, it just isn't going to open unless a buyer comes along."
Additionally, the fate of the DTWC has been decided. The 2012 Dirt Track World Championship (originally set for Atomic) will be held at Portsmouth Raceway Park under the Lucas Oil banner.

Hilborn Fuel Injection Announces Series Sponsorship of TSRS 305 Sprint Car Class

Aliso, Viejo, Ca., 01/21/2012) - Hilborn Fuel Injection is proud to announce that it will be the series sponsor of the Tri-State Race Saver (TSRS) Sprint Car class for the 2012 race season.



The announcement ceremony and local media coverage added excitement to the packed TSRS booth at the Motorsports Show in Oaks, Pennsylvania on January 21. During the ceremony the sponsor check was formally presented to the regional director of the TSRS, Joe Grandinetti, by Hilborn Fuel Injection’s Andrew Starr.



“In the short time span of this weekend I have found that the staff and racers of the TSRS are truly one big family. Their commitment to putting on a tremendous show for the fans is, perhaps, only superceded by their commitment to make racing fun,” commented Hilborn’s Andrew Starr. “The buzz over this class is infectious, and we are excited to be a part of it. We hope that our involvement will only help its growth as a premier venue that allows racers from all walks to compete competitively,” he added.



The transition from the TSRS series to the Hilborn TSRS series culminated with the unveiling of a new logo on the wing of Joe’s 2011 championship winning car displayed at the Motorsports show. The #1 car, driven by the talented Christopher Allen Jr., will once again race for the championship in 2012 using the same Hilborn power as last year.



The TSRS series, founded by regional director Joe Grandinetti, has seen the series grow primarily due to consistency in his approach to rules and conduct, while also drawing from the many years of racing experience he accumulated since returning to the race track back in 1968.



“Since this is a recreational sprint car series we follow the rules to the letter,” states Joe. “This ensures that even those with a $4,000 engine, such as in our championship winning car, are just as competitive as those with a $15,000 engine.”



Joe is particularly proud of his racers when it comes to conduct, frequently praising them for racing six features last year that went green to checker with no stops in racing action. But make no mistake, this racing is full bore with plenty of excitement.



Joe is supported at the races by a volunteer staff which includes Doug Suiter (Head Tech), Ray McCabe (Race Director), Lisa Case (Handicapper), and a host of other volunteers such as Ken Raively and Andy Heideman. For more information on the Hilborn TSRS racing series, please visit their web site www.tsrs1.com, or contact Joe Grandinetti directly at 215-355-0510. For PR information, please contact Mike Kostic 609-636-0200



The TSRS races under the umbrella of the Race Saver series founded by French Grimes. For more information, please visit the Race Saver web site www.racesaver.com, or contact French Grimes directly at 540-923-4541.
