SESELY WINS THIRD STRAIGHT INDOOR RACING EVENT AT ATLANTIC CITY’S BOARDWALK HALL, INDOOR RACING CONTINUES IN TRENTON, NJ FEB.7-8

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ (Jan. 26) – Anthony Sesely’s domination of Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City continued Saturday night when Sesely powered his No.16 600 Micro Sprint to a convincing victory in the climatic NAPA Know How Gamblers Classic 40-lap main event. It was Sesely’s second straight win in the prestigious race and his third straight inside Boardwalk Hall.

“This is unbelievable,” Sesely, of Matawan, N.J., said. “It is what racing is all about.”

Sesely led all 40 of the laps after drawing the pole position, a draw earned as one of the previous night’s top eight feature finishers, a race he also won.

Brett Michalski ran second initially before Matt Janisch moved up. A succession of cautions shuffled the running order. Mike Iles emerged as the runner-up through the halfway mark but back in the pack, Lou Cicconi, Jr., and Mike Lichty, two drivers who had been fast the previous night as well but had unsatisfactory results, were working their ways forward.

As the race progressed, Lichty got by Cicconi for second spot with five laps to go and held off a return challenge to preserve the position. The final sixteen laps of the race ran off non-stop and this allowed hard charging Shawn Nye to finish up fourth. Iles slipped to fifth.

Anthony Colandro of Islip Terrace, Long Island, N.Y. passed Douglas Stearly on the last lap after wild side by side battle saw Stearly spin off turn two. Jonathan Cash of Mechanicsville, Va., moved to second and then held off a trio of New Englanders in DJ Shaw, Mike Perry and Glen Meisenhelder.

In the 25-lap Snyder’s-Lance Slingshot feature, Simon Egan of Stroudsburg, Pa., moved into first place after Ben Whitaker, who led the first fourteen laps after starting from the pole position, suddenly slowed and pulled out of the race with mechanical problems. Egan had started back in 16th position.

Joe Kata, gridded 22nd at the start, moved by Tyler Johnston on the twenty second lap to claim a fast closing second to Egan. Kata settled for third with Tom Arntz fourth and Matt Stangle completed the top five.

The $1,500 win for Egan was his second at Boardwalk Hall and the fourth for the 2001 Slingshot nicknamed ‘Old Faithful’ by its owner Randy Smith. Randy’s son Ryan also won twice in the No.55 car inside Boardwalk Hall.

The race was the finale of a two night NAPA Know How Atlantic City Indoor Race Weekend. Friday night’s 30-lap TQ Midget race was won by Anthony Sesely of Matawan, NJ.

Indoor racing continues on February 7-8, 2014 at Sun Bank Center in Trenton, N.J. with the running of the first annual PRC / Angela’s House Battle Of Trenton. The race concludes the Fatheadz Eyewear TQ Midget Series produced by Len Sammons Motorsports Productions.

BATTLE OF TRENTON-WITH RACERS, NOT SOLDIERS-TO FEATURE THREE QUARTER MIDGETS, CHAMP KARTS, SLINGSHOT RACING INSIDE SUN NATIONAL BANK CENTER; NEW EGYPT MODIFIED CHAMPION BILLY PAUCH SR., PAVEMENT STAR BLEWETT AMONG FAVORITES.

TRENTON, NJ January 18, 2014 . . . On December 25, 1776, Revolutionary War hero George Washington crossed the Delaware River with his garrison of troops to attack the British defenders encamped in Trenton.

Washington’s successful conquest of the British loyalists at the Battle Of Trenton turned the tide of history. From the outcome of this battle, independence was declared and the United States of America was created.

A second Battle Of Trenton, this one to be fought with race cars rather than muskets, and piloted by drivers arguably as brave as Washington’s men, will be waged on Friday, Feb. 7; and Saturday, Feb.8.

The Friday card will consist of Twin 20 lap features for TQ Midgets and a full program of Slingshot action.

On Feb. 8, another complete program for TQ Midgets is supported by a Champ Karts schedule of events.

Billy Pauch of Frenchtown, N.J., a winner of more than 700 feature races in his career, is always among the TQ favorites. Pauch is the 2013 New Egypt Speedway Modified Stock Car driving champion.

Jimmy Blewett of Howell, N.J., whose shift from asphalt Modified to dirt Modified racing in 2013 was among the year’s biggest racing stories, is also a popular entry.

Anthony Sesely of Matawan, N.J., winner of Wall Stadium’s Turkey Derby in 2013 and several TQ Midget outdoor races last summer, is also expected to figure prominently in the two days of racing.

Pauch, Blewett and Sesely are among the five dozen TQ drivers and teams that have entered the PRC Industries/Angela’s House Charity Battle Of Trenton.

The identically prepared Slingshots and the ultra-quick Champ Karts, each with over 30 entries, will support the TQ Midget programs on Friday and Saturday respectively.

PRC Industries/Angela’s House Charity has come aboard to sponsor the first Battle Of Trenton Indoor races.

PRC, located in St.James, Long Island, N.Y., is a returns-management agency. The company is dedicated to the philosophy that household appliances and computer products need not be throwaway goods.Their remanufacturing of such items as refrigerators, blenders and computers has become big business.

Angela’s House is a charitable endeavor created to offer families and professionals an agency to call to help medically frail children and their families. Their Long Island locations are in Hauppauge and Smittown.

The PRC Industries / Angela’s House Charity Battle Of Trenton Indoor races are the last of two Indoor events that comprise the Fatheadz Eyewear Series.

Fatheadz Eyewear along with Dr. William Lowe will pay bonuses to the top three overall TQ Midget drivers from the two event, five feature race series. Drivers will receive points based on their qualifying efforts and feature finishes from Friday and Saturday night at both events towards the overall series crown.

The first event is planned for Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall on Friday and Saturday Jan. 24 and 25, 2014.

The pair of Indoor events are produced and promoted by Len Sammons Motorsports Productions.

NAPA KNOW HOW RACE WEEKEND ENTRANTS AT ATLANTIC CITY TO BE ENRICHED BY SPECIAL AWARDS THANKS TO EVENT SPONSORS

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ January 18, 2014 . . . Though Len Sammons Motorsports Productions has posted generous prize money awards for its twelfth annual NAPA KNOW HOW Atlantic City Indoor Races on Friday and Saturday Jan. 24 and 25, added monetary incentives from various sponsors have hiked the earnings potential for competitors even more.

One of the bonuses has come from the competitors themselves. At the time of filing of their entry, drivers may declare themselves eliglble for an increased first place prize by paying a ‘Gambler’s Fee’.

LARGE CROWDS, HAPPY VENDORS, LOADS OF EXCITEMENT MAKE FOR SUCCESSFUL 29TH EDITION OF MOTORSPORTS 2014 RACECAR AND TRADE SHOW

OAKS, PA January 13, 2014 . . . Throngs of people filled the more than 225, 000 square feet of the Pioneer Pole Buildings Motorsports 2014 Racecar & Trade Show fueled by Sunoco and distributed by Insinger Performance.

Many of the vendors that filled the more than 600 display areas reported brisk sales with first time exhibitor, Chris Noel (Old Man Garage, Rainbow City, Alabama) said, “We came here to expand our market reach and this show helped us do that. We will be back for the next one.”

More than 200 racing vehicles were on display during the show. Hundreds of fans had the opportunity to meet 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski, NASCAR legends Harry Gant and Ricky Craven, former IndyCar racer Bill Simpson and a host of local and regional racers during the three day show that ran from Friday, Jan.10th to Sunday, Jan. 12th at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, PA.

Show organizer Lenny Sammons was very happy with the success of the show and is already working with his staff in planning the 30th annual version of the midwinter happening in motorsports that offers something for just about everyone. Dates will be announced in the very near future.

Cassi Pinder, a 21 year old redhead from Boyertown, Pa, was crowned Ms. Motorsports 2014 Saturday night. “I am so thrilled to win,” said Ms. Pinder. Ms. Pinder earned $1,500 in cash and other awards. The pageant was sponsored by HIT ecigs for the first time. Ms. Pinder will have the opportunity to represent the Motorsports show at a variety of auto racing events during the season.

First runnerup was Lainey Shaw Reinhart, 26, of Corsica, Pa., and Brittany Loss, 22, of Hanover, Pa., was voted second runnerup.

Ms. Pinder also was recognized as Best Sportswear, and in a separate contest-within-a-contest, earned $500 in a special Fan Vote Swimwear competition.

Other award winners were Amy Costello in judged Swimwear, Lainey Shaw Reinhard for Best Interview, Erika Decker for Ms. Congeniality, and Paige Ott for Most Photogenic.

As Ms. Motorsports 2014 Cassi Pinder presided over the first day of her reign, Ava Horvath, 9, of Schnecksville, Pa., was named Little Ms. Motorsports. The new Little Ms. Particularly likes Indy Car racing which “I enjoy watching with my dad”.

EXCITING LATE BREAKING NEWS FROM MOTORSPORTS 2014 RACECAR & TRADE SHOW, SATURDAY, JANUARY 11TH; MORE TO COME ON SUNDAY, 11 AM to 4 PM

Cassi Pinder, a 21 year old redhead from Boyertown, Pa, was crowned Ms. Motorsports 2014 Saturday night at the Pioneer Pole Buildings Motorsports 2014 show. “I am so thrilled to win,” said Ms. Pinder. Ms. Pinder earned $1,500 in cash and other awards.

First runnerup was Lainey Shaw Reinhart, 26, of Corsica, Pa., and Brittany Loss, 22, of Hanover, Pa., was voted second runnerup.

Ms. Pinder also was recognized as Best Sportswear, and in a separate contest-within-a-contest, earned $500 in a special Fan Vote Swimwear competition.

Other award winners were Amy Costello in judged Swimwear, Lainey Shaw Reinhard for Best Interview, Erika Decker for Ms. Congeniality, and Paige Ott for Most Photogenic.

Shane Andrews and Mike Mallett emceed the pageant that was attended by a packed house in the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, Pa.

Area Auto Racing News publisher Len Sammons presented trophies and cash awards to the Northeast drivers who won more races in their respective divisions in 2013.

Keith Rocco was acknowledged as the winningest driver overall in 2013 with 31 feature wins. Rocco also won the most asphalt Late Model features as well. Rocco’s home track, Waterford Speedbowl, was having its awards banquet on Motorsports Saturday; his twin brother Jeff accepted the honors on his brother’s behalf.

Other winners earning awards for most wins, by category, were Matt Hirschman for asphalt Modified, Matt Sheppard for dirt Modified, Pat Cannon for Open Wheel and Gene Knaub for dirt Late Model. Stewart Friesen, who had tied Sheppard for most dirt Modified wins, was at the Motorsports Show Friday but was unable to attend Saturday owing to a family obligation.

NASCAR’s 2012 Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski arrived at mid-afternoon Saturday to sign autographs, pose for pictures and exchange pleasantries with Motorsports fans. Keselowski signed every autograph fans requested. He also met with representatives of regional Miller Lite distributors prior to going on stage.

Bill Simpson, a motorsports racing pioneer in auto racing development, an outstanding sports car and Indy Car driver, gave his views on his the state of the sport, based on his own personal experiences. He was accompanied by the author of his two recently published and released books, Bones Bourcier.

Racing legend Frankie Schneider signed posters at the Area Auto Racing News booth Saturday afternoon. Schneider had been named as one of the ten ‘Area een Auto Ten Greatest Drivers Of AARN’s First Fifty Years’ the previous year but was stricken with ill health on the eve of his intended appearance. Now looking fresh and far younger than his 87 years, Schneider signed hundreds of personalized driver cars and several posters that had been autographed the previous year by the seven living ‘top ten’ drivers.

Lines were long and sales were brisk at the Pioneer Pole Buildings Motorsports 2014 Show. Rainy weather notwithstanding, the crowd came out and stayed for most of the day, so much so that the temperature of the A-Hall main exhibit arena rose considerably.

At Behrent’s Performance Center, based in Florida, NY, business was so good that long lines were at the register most of the day. Harry Behrent, founder of the company, was hands-on as racers and car owners sought good deals for the pre-season of racing ahead. Jeff Behrent and Jeff Heotzler, Jr. were part of the sales team that kept the traffic flow moving as well as they could.

At Bob Hilbert Sportswear’s booth, Bob and Anne Hilbert and staff signed up all business all day, drawn to their exhibit in part by an autograph signing session in late afternoon that included Kenny Brightbill, Billy Pauch, Davey Sammons, Ryan Smith, Ashley DeTurk and Austin Kochenash. Hilbert’s booth backdrop it deceptively simple: the designs of his customers’ shirts form the walls. It’s a dramatic demonstration of the size and scope of Hilbert’s presence in the sport.

World Racing Group’s booth may not have been the most artistic of the lot at PPB Motorsports 2014 Show, but big news was emanating out of their 10 X 20 space. On the World Of Outlaws Late Model trail, the first two races scheduled at Screven, Ga., are off the calendar. The races will still take place – but as open competition events with $10,000 to win payoffs promised.

On the DIRTcar Series circuit, the on-again-off-again relationship between DIRTcar and Jeremy Corcoran’s Canandaigua Speedway was off, according to WRG’s Julia Foy. An early season Super DIRTcar Series race is now off the schedule.

Billy Colton, head honcho at Troyer Engineering, has made some evolutionary changes to his company’s Dirt Car chassis and more subtle changes to the Asphalt chassis.

“We’re the only company that I know of that is building dirt and asphalt cars out of the same shop,” said Colton. “It’s something that we have managed to make work.”

Colton’s main initiative in Dirt racing development is the use of coil over shocks, not a new concept in racing history, of course, but new thinking in contemporary racing. “Rear suspension is one thing we are working with is coil overs. Our thinking is that coil overs are more reliable in performance than conventional suspensions. There’s more predictability. It is a difference that we can capitalize on.

“On the asphalt side, the car we are running is in its second year and has not changed all that much.”

Colton also revealed is company’s strong belief in full containment seats. “Troyer cars have full containment seats. If a customer wants something else, we will sell him the car without a seat. If they want to install something else, that’s their business.”

Colton’s production system consists of two men working on dirt and two men working on asphalt bodies. Two guys work on the dirt chassis side and one on the asphalt side. Troyer dirt and asphalt cars will be in action in abundance at Volusia Speedway Park and New Smyrna Speedway during Florida’s Speedweeks in February.

ERK Power Steering owner Eric Kormann was a first time exhibitor at the PPB Motorsports 2014 Show. ERK, the ‘new kid on the block’, has become a top power steering rebuilder in the region. Kormann was answering questions, handing out business cards (he ran out early Saturday afternoon) and taking orders for his new enterprise.

Kormann’s racing endeavors in 2014 will consist of driving for two car owners, Frank D’Antonio, Sr. and Bill Hewlett. Owner Hewlett outlined an unusual strategy between the two owners for Kormann. “I’ll run Eric in two races, then Frank will have him in back to back races,” said Hewlett. “I think this way the engines will last longer. Just a theory.”

Activities continue at the 29th edition of the Pioneer Pole Building Motorsports 2014 Racecar & Trade Show at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, Pa on Sunday. A schedule of events can be found at www.aarn.com. Activity will include Metal Fab sponsored Sunday with Big Wheel Racing, Little & Tiny Miss Motorsports Pageants and more. Children 12 and under are admitted FREE.

NOTES FROM THR 29TH ANNUAL SHOW – FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 2014 – GREATER PHILADELPHIA EXPO CENTER, OAKS, PA

The Pioneer Pole Building Motorsports 2014 Racecar & Trade Show fueled by Sunoco and distributed by Insinger Performance continues today and tomorrow at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, PA. A complete schedule can be found at www.aarn.com.

The Joie Of Seating President Randy LaJoie is hosting a call-in show from his company’s booth (424-425 / 524-525) this morning, Saturday, on NASCAR Sirius Radio beginning at 11:30 AM. LaJoie will be on the air for the first five minutes of the nationally syndicated broadcast followed by PPB Motorsports 2014 race fans who can voice their opinions on the racing issues of the day. “The more the merrier,” LaJoie said as to the number of calls NASCAR Sirius Radio will take from his PPB Motorsports Show booth.

The 1950 Hillegas Sprint Car that was originally owned by the late Wally Campbell is on display at the Atlantic Coast Old Timers booth at PPB Motorsports 2014. The car was driven on the all but forgotten NASCAR Stock Block Sprint Car circuit by Campbell in 1952. Allen Wiltse of Bedford, NY lovingly restored the car. Wiltse expects to meet Campbell’s daughter Sunday at PPB Motorsports for the first time to show her the car. Campbell’s nephew Jeff Hardifer, who has spearheaded research about the colorful career of his late uncle, is also expected to view the car for the first time at PPB Motorsports 2014 Sunday.

Past NASCAR Sprint Cup favorites Ricky Craven and Harry Gant regaled the throng of PPB Motorsports 2014 attendees Friday with a mix of humor, reflection and humility. Craven, who is a talented telecast personality, spoke at length about his northern New England heritage, the crashes that ultimately forced his premature retirement from Sprint Cup racing, and his belief in the viability of contemporary racing. Craven was impressed with the upcoming NAPA KNOW HOW Atlantic City Indoor Race and admitted he would have loved to attend the events had not a personal appearance at Daytona been scheduled well in advance.

Gant, who was originally scheduled to join Craven at 5:00 PM Friday for a question-and-answer format session prior to signing autographs, was delayed by weather issues between Greensboro, NC and Philadelphia for nearly 90 minutes, arriving on stage 45 minutes behind his scheduled time. Good natured Gant, who said he got his chance to go racing through the good graces of his father – coupled with hard labor working in the family’s home building business – repeatedly drew laughs from the large crowd about his early racing exploits and how he translated a rough and tumble short track background into superspeedway success in NASCAR.

East Windsor Speedway, which had not seen a wheel turned since its closure in August of 2002, was lovingly remembered by PPB Motorsports 2014, the Garden State Vintage Stock Car Club and the Jones family of East Windsor Speedway itself with an extraordinary tribute to the track. Several top drivers will be on hand Saturday to meet and greet the racing public and sign a specially designed East Windsor Speedway racing poster. One of the most intriguing elements of the EWS display was the amazing number of white, red and black signs that were preserved by the family when the track closes, everything from the track entrance marquee to the pit entrance pricing signs to the banner (updated each year) for the track’s lavish and well attended Fireworks display. Cars driven by Dick Havens, Stan Ploski, Jr., Fred Dmuchowski, and Billy Pauch were among those featured in the exhibit.

Saturday’s PPB Motorsports 2014 Show highlights include the gala 29th annual Ms. Motorsports competition, sponsored for the first time for 2014 by HIT e-cigarettes. The 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski will be in the house from 3:00 PM through 5:00 PM to sign autographs and Bill Simpson, renowned Indianapolis car driver and racing safety pioneer, will be on stage to discuss his unparalleled career in automobile racing.

In each of the 28 previous Pioneer Pole Buildings Motorsports Shows, the theme “Something For Everyone” has been apt. This year, it seems to be even more so. Brad Keselowski’s 2013 Sprint Cup Miller Lite Ford graces the center stage of ‘B-Hall’, while Quarter Midgets, Micro Sprints, Mini Stocks, Street Stocks, 305, 358, 360 and 410 Sprints are all on display. Modifieds, Sportsman, Late Model – both dirt and pavement cars – are within the field of view of the front entrance the show.

In June of 2013, much beloved Sprint Car hero Kramer Williamson lost his life in a URC Sprint car crash at Lincoln Speedway. Williamson’s trademark ‘Pink Panther’ No. 73 URC Sprint Car is part of the Bob Hilbert Sportswear Display just inside the main entrance of the Pioneer Pole Buildings Motorsports 2014 Show. ASI Sportswear, another show exhibitor, is raffling off chances to win a handmade guitar fashioned in Williamson’s colors. Proceeds will go to the Williamson family.
