A new Labor Day Tradition for the Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprints: Visits to Can-Am and Utica-Rome.

SYRACUSE, NY – After a wildly successful four race weekend in Quebec, the stars and cars from the Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprints (ESS) are back stateside for the Labor Day Weekend Holiday.  New for 2010 will be a Friday night stop at the Can-Am Motorsports Park followed by the traditional visit to the Utica-Rome Speedway.

Over the past several seasons, the winged warriors traveled to Quebec for two events before heading down to the half-mile in Vernon, NY.  With increased costs of traveling it was decided to switch the Labor Day Weekend schedule.  This already proved to be successful with a record 30 teams starting what was a four race weekend in Canada.

Under the new ownership of Tiger Chapman, ESS is making three stops at the fast oval in LaFargeville, NY.  Shootout Weekend was very popular on the July 4^th holiday and now it’s time to close out the summer season once again. 

The same is being held at Utica-Rome with three visits also.  This weekend will be extra important as there will be just one more full point show to be held after.  In a very exciting point fight, recently crowned Northwood 2 Construction/LaSalle Motorsports Canadian Sprint Series and Fondations 4 Saisons Quebec Five Star Series champ Steve Poirier has a slim 17 point lead over defending champion Justin Barger with former two-time champ Lance Yonge still well within striking distance.

The talented trio will be in the pits over the weekend along with stars such as Dan Kaszubinski, Chuck Hebing, Jeff Cook, Kevin Ward Jr., Tommy Wickham, Michael Parent, Mike Stelter, Chris Jones, Zach Weigand, Devin Caron, Cory Sparks, Shawn Donath, Jason Barney, Russ Bennett, Don Sharp Jr., and others.

Some stars to be at Can-Am will be Tyler Rand and Lee Ladouceur with Bobby Varin, Stewart Friesen, Jami Russell, Warren Alexson, Kory Gurney, Josh Pieniazek, Mark Zemcik and others looking at the Sunday visit to Utica-Rome.

Fireworks will be in the sky and on the track both nights…It’s the stretch drive for the Lucas Oil Championship.  Can-Am, Utica-Rome and the very best of “America’s Race Cars”.  It will be excitement guaranteed!

SUNY Canton Series Takes Center Focus this Weekend for Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprints

SYRACUSE, NY – As the Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprints (ESS) gets ready to visit Can-Am Motorsports Park and Utica-Rome Speedway on this Labor Day Weekend 2010, the SUNY Canton Series also kicks into full gear for two of the final three events.

The picturesque campus in Upstate NY is once again providing some adding funding to the season ending awards banquet with these two nights of racing proving vital to the points title. 

Steve Poirier has already clinched the Northwood 2 Construction/LaSalle Motorsports Canadian Sprint Series and also the Fondations 4 Saisons Quebec Five Star Series over the weekend.  He is also atop the SUNY Canton points coming into this weekend.

Justin Barger and last years SUNY Canton champ Lance Yonge still have a shot at knocking off the Quebec star from the points lead.  Dan Kaszubinski, Chuck Hebing, Tommy Wickham, Mike Stelter and Kevin Ward Jr. are in the top 10 in Canton points and will be on hand for both events looking to get their money paying positions.

Both Can-Am and Utica-Rome will be holding their third Lucas Oil ESS event of 2010 and a new tradition of running on the summer’s final holiday weekend is being started.  For more information you can log on www.empiresupersprints.com where all the up do date information is right at your finger tips.

SOUTHERN ONTARIO SPRINTS CHAMPIONSHIP CHASE CONTINUES WITH LABOUR DAY CLASSIC

By Tommy Goudge (August 31, 2010) – The Southern Ontario Sprints fifteenth anniversary tour is back in action this weekend with two big events at the Brighton Speedway.  The Labour Day Classic weekend is always a highlight of Ontario’s racing season, and again will play a pivotal role in the SOS season championship.

Glenn Styres of Ohsweken saw his lead in the SOS season standings drop to just twelve points over Consecon driver Tyler Rand after the last SOS race at Brighton on August 7.  Rand finished third in that event, while Styres finished sixth.  Keith Dempster of Alton is third in the standings and fifty points out of the lead, while Ridgetown’s Adam West is fourth, and rookie driver Jim Munsie of Pickering sits fifth.

Joyceville’s Rick Wilson got his first feature win of the season in the August 7 event.  Wilson dominated the feature race to claim his fourteenth career win at the Rinaldi family-owned 1/3 mile oval.  Always a fan favourite at Brighton, “The Joyceville Jet” will try to add to his stellar record at Brighton this weekend.  Wilson has a dozen runner-up finishes to go along with his fourteen wins in forty-one career races at the Northumberland County track.

Championship leader Styres has ten career wins at Brighton, including four on Labour Day weekend, but none this year. Styres’ teammate Dempster got his eighth Brighton win in May, Jamie Collard of Burford won at Brighton in June, and local driver Chris Jones of Demorestville got his first ever Sprint Car win there in July.  Collard is still sitting out due to a back injury suffered in a July World of Outlaws event.  Other active drivers with feature wins at Brighton include Warren Mahoney (3), Kyle Wilson (3), Adam West (2), Kevin Job (1), and Dick Mahoney (1).

Others expected in competition this weekend and looking to add their names to Brighton’s Sprint Car win list include; Bob Crawford, April Wilson, Kyle Fraser, Brad Malloy, Travis Cunningham, Doug Banks, Chris Durand, Frank Baranowski, Paul Pekkonen, and 2010 Rookie of the Year candidates Brad Lodge and Erin Joyce.

PURSE INCREASE
The Southern Ontario Sprints and Brighton Speedway have worked together again this year to increase the purse for the Labour Day Classic.  Saturday’s feature winner will be awarded $1,000, while Sunday’s first prize is $1,200.  Second and third place awards are also increased for the weekend.

TWO SEATER RIDES
Ohsweken Speedway’s two-seater Sprint Car will be at Brighton all weekend, with driver Glenn Styres ready to give you the ride of your life!  Rides in the two-seater are $100, and more information is available by calling the Brighton Speedway office at 1-(866)-681-1102, or e-mailing info@brightonspeedway.com.

ASCS Patriots Wrap Up Regular Season in Holiday Weekend Double Dip

Rich Vleck, TULSA, Okla. (August 30, 2010)- A great summer of racing is now quickly nearing the end for yet another year.  Before the weather gets cold though, there are two more big shows this weekend for the ASCS Patriots with plenty on the line.

For the second year in a row, the ASCS Patriots return to Sharon and Eriez Speedways for a pair of $2,000-to-win Labor Day Weekend Races.  These are the final two full point shows of the year, putting an end to the regular season before the many post-season events get going in the fall.  The Saturday and Sunday events will also serve as the final shows in the Mike Emhof Motorsports King of Ohio and Pennsylvania Series.

Bryan Howland, from Auburn, NY, has turned up the intensity in the later part of the season, winning two of the last three Patriot shows.  Howland has already claimed the King of Upstate NY and the King of the Southern Tier.  This weekend, the 23-year-old can capture his fourth series championship and pick up the King of OH/PA as well.

Howland holds a 72 point advantage over Jared Zimbardi, of Little Valley, NY heading into the final two full point races of 2010.  This means that the No. 51 needs to average an eighth place finish in each race to claim the championship.

Coming off a win this past Saturday at Stateline, Howland leads the tour with four wins this season.  A winner at Sharon in May and at Eriez last September, the second-winningest driver in Patriot history leads the King of OH/PA by 21 points and will have to work hard to hold off a number of competitors for the crown he captured last year.

Jared Zimbardi won his first career Patriot feature at Eriez back in 2007.  “The Juice” has always performed well at Sharon and Eriez and even though his championship aspirations have all but faded, he still has a very real chance to capture the King of OH/PA title, as he is in a tie for second place.

Zimbardi is also leading the Gater Racing News Hard Charger of the Season Standings heading into the final two shows that count towards that honor.  The 23-year-old won the first Hard Charger of the Season in 2005.

Bubba Broderick, from Brookfield, CT, is tied with Zimbardi for second in King of OH/PA Standings.  Broderick won his first of two features this season at Eriez and has always been a fan thriller using the top of the track.   The 20-year-old has never won a crown and has his best opportunity this weekend.

Tim Kelly, of Rock Stream, NY, comes off a fine runner-up showing at Stateline Saturday and is looking to hold off Broderick for third in the championship standings.  Kelly is still looking for his first Patriot win and will return to Eriez, another venue where he has success, including a win in 1999.  The veteran also has a good chance to capture the King of OH/PA crown.

Don Adamczyk, of Williamsville, NY, has been struck by a string of bad luck with mechanical parts over the last month and hopes he can turn it around this weekend.  Adamczyk was within a foot of his long-awaited win at Erirez in May of 2008 and led a good portion of the September 2009 show at Sharon.  He is looking to complete the 2010 regular season with a top-10 finish in every full-point race he started.

Vern Wasson, of Jersey Shore, PA, and Kyle Moffit, of South Dayton, NY will battle for their final spot in the top-10 of the King of OH/PA.  Wasson captured his first sprint car checkered flag at Eriez back in May, winning the dash.  Moffit finished in the top-five at each of these tracks on Memorial Weekend and should be amongst the favorites at Sharon, where he ran weekly in 2007.

The Breen Boys, Blake and Bobby, of Savannah, NY, make their return to the tour this weekend.  Both brothers have won at Sharon but have struggled at Eriez. 

Veterans Gary Troutman, Brad Knab and Dave Wickham are expected to venture west for this weekend, along with rookies Dylan Swiernik, Bob Reis, Jay Groves and Ross Vleck, who will compete at these venues for the first time.

Other potential invaders include Shayne Ely, who could claim the Insinger Race Fuels Rookie of the Year if he has success.  Veteran Judi Bates had a solid Memorial Weekend swing and could look to rekindle the success this weekend.  Keep an eye out for Tommy Wickham, Vern Wasson, Derek Jonathan, Jared Fink, Bruce DeWick, Travis Cunningham, Doug Bowman and T.J. Newton.

A slew of locals will also be in appearance, including Gary Edwards, Robert VanTassel and Brian Steinman.  Chris Shuttleworth, of Wellsville, NY, will also be in attendance at Sharon where he frequents on Saturday Nights.

Caleb Griffith is also expected to travel in from Western Ohio to race in the Ken Meggitt No. 01.  The list of others unconfirmed invaders is impressive to say the very least.

While he will not be in competition, Scott Bonnell may also be in appearance at Eriez on Sunday.  Scott has not been to a Patriot event since his career-ending event at Little Valley in July.

Tim Kelly and Bryan Howland File First Entries for Black Rock’s Fall Sprint Nationals

Rich Vleck, DUNDEE, NY (August 22, 2010)- Less than three weeks from now, the event that defined Black Rock for nearly a decade will return to it’s familiar fall weekend for New York’s highest paying sprint car show of the year.  In preparation, two frontrunners at races earlier this season at Black Rock are already entered.

Tim Kelly, from nearby Rock Stream, along with Bryan Howland, of Auburn, are the first two entries for Black Rock’s Fall Sprint Nationals.  While it was of little doubt that they would be in attendance on September 10 and 11, this ceremonious accomplishment also highlights the talent from near and far invading Dundee this fall.

Kelly, who won at Black Rock in 1997, was the runner-up to Chuck Hebing at the 2010 Season Opener on April 30.  Kelly currently stands third in Patriot points and was also runner-up in the A-Verdi Storage Containers King of Upstate New York Series.

Howland claimed the A-Verdi King of Upstate New York at Black Rock earlier this month when he captured his first sprint car win in Dundee.  Howland is also leading the ASCS Patriot standings and is closing in on his fourth championship.

While the first two entries are regular with the ASCS Patriots, Ohio’s National Racing Alliance, Ohsweken’s Corr/Pak Sprints and Michigan’s ASCS Sprints on Dirt are also in support of this event.

With more than 60 of the top sprint car teams from New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Ontario, Quebec and further expected to go after the $5,000 top prize, entries are sure to start flowing in rapidly.  Early entry for the Saturday event is in place until the end of August.

Before August 31, drivers that send in their entry fee will get a complimentary pit pass for Saturday Night.  Checks should be made payable to Black Rock Speedway and sent to: Josh Aylsworth, 420 Scribner Road, Corfu, NY, 14036.

Entry forms are available from the Black Rock website by clicking on the image of Jessica Zemken’s No. 14 Sprint Car.  Information about the qualifying procedure for each night as well as technical rules is also available on this special webpage of www.BlackRockSpeedway.com.

NATIONAL SPRINT CAR MUSEUM PLANS BUSY FALL

            KNOXVILLE, IOWA  (August 20, 2010)  -  Days after the busiest two weeks of the non-profit National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum Foundation’s work year, the membership-based, program-driven organization continues to plan a busy Fall season.  Highlighting the agenda for the next three months are a motorcycle ‘poker run’, being held in conjunction with Knoxville Raceway’s AMA Flat Track Nationals on September 17-18, and twin memorabilia auctions on October 2, one during the Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals and one during the Williams Grove National Open in central Pennsylvania.  The annual Williams Grove National Open auction is jointly held in cooperation with the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing in York Springs, Pennsylvania, while the Knoxville Late Model auction also benefits the National Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame in Florence, Kentucky.    

            According to museum executive director Bob Baker, “While our staff and volunteers are regrouping and catching their collective breaths this week after a very successful Knoxville Nationals and Iowa SpeedWeek, we can’t afford to rest too long as we have a busy fall season planned.  The J&J/Kistler raffle car will be on the road quite a bit over the next three months with marketing manager Chuck Stowe, including trips to both coasts.  This is a great outreach program for the national museum.  In addition, Lori DeMoss, Sharon Spaur and Blanche Kingrey are busy preparing for our annual holiday mass mailing, whose primary focus is letting sprint car fans worldwide know of our vast array of educational and entertaining museum store items that are available 24/7.  Finally, curator Tom Schmeh and planned giving consultant Doug Lockin are both active within their respective realms of responsibility.”

            Those individuals interested in learning more about the activities at the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum this fall should visit the museum’s web site at www.sprintcarhof.com.  Those seeking additional information on the museum’s on-line store should log onto www.sprintcarstuff.com.

Spec Right Rear Tires Finalized for Black Rock’s Fall Sprint Nationals

Rich Vleck, DUNDEE, NY (August 17, 2010)- The list of allowable right rear tire choices for Black Rock’s Fall Sprint Nationals has been compiled.  Along with it, an enticing option has been put in place.

The right rear tire will be the only tire with specification for the two nights of action in Dundee paying nearing $40,000, September 10 and 11.  The other three tires will have an open format.

All allowable right rear tires by each of the four sanction bodies will be permitted for this event.  They are as follows:

ASCS Patriots and Ohsweken’s Corr/Pak Sprints- Hoosier Plated HTC, D-25

ASCS Sprints on Dirt- ASCS Medium or Hard

National Racing Alliance- Plated NRA SC-1

Along with those tire options, other popular regional options that are allowed for the weekend are the American Racer MC-2 or MC-3 tires.

Lias Tire and Black Rock Speedway have also put together an incentive for a team to go after a bonus $5,000 in mid-September.

Any competitor that purchases two American Racer Tires from Black Rock Speedway on Fall Nationals Weekend will be eligible to claim a $5,000 bonus if they win both the Fall Nationals Saturday A-Main and the Canadian Sprint Car Nationals Saturday A-Main being held the following week.  Accomplishing such a feat would be worth $20,000 for a driver in a matter of just eight days!

Mike Emhof Motorsports will have Hoosier Tires available at BRS during “Camp Out and Race Weekend”.  Teams looking to reserve tires are advised to contact Mike at 585-370-6495 to ensure enough are in stock.

Interest for the triumphant return of this famous fall event has already spread across the landscape; with competitors from Canada, Ohio, Pennsylvania and even further away stating their plans to invade the Finger Lakes on this weekend.

International Motorsports Industry Show Finds Permanent Home in Indy

Updated Contract with Indianapolis Convention & Visitors Association Keeps IMIS in Indianapolis Indefinitely

INDIANAPOLIS (July 20, 2010) – After substantial growth following the inaugural International Motorsports Industry Show (IMIS) last year in Indianapolis, officials from IMIS and the Indianapolis Convention & Visitors Association (ICVA) have announced an unprecedented agreement to keep the show in Indianapolis indefinitely. 

After an original two-year contract for 2009-2010, officials from IMIS and the ICVA announced a contract extension through 2015 during the event’s welcome reception last December. Today’s updated agreement will keep IMIS in Indianapolis through the life of its convention. IMIS generates more than $15.9 million in direct visitor spending annually for the City of Indianapolis.

The inaugural IMIS (December 2009) drew more than 10,000 attendees from around the globe, in addition to 345 exhibitors and a sold-out trade show. Due to demand, IMIS officials have doubled the space they will lease in the Indiana Convention Center, anticipating more than 20,000 attendees and 575 exhibitors at this year’s show, scheduled for Dec. 1-3. 

“It’s only fitting for the ‘Racing Capital of the World’ to permanently host the premier racing industry trade show – a show that brings together the entire global motorsports business,” said Don Welsh, ICVA president and CEO. “Our entire hospitality community is extremely thankful to the IMIS ownership for their commitment and confidence in Indianapolis. It is extremely rare for a convention this size to make this type of commitment to a city.”

The Indianapolis-based show is owned by Chris Paulsen of C&R Racing, Tom Weisenbach, executive director of the Indiana Motorsports Association (IMA), Jeff Stoops, president of Stoops Freightliner and two-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion and Indiana resident, Tony Stewart.

“The entire IMIS team is ecstatic to call Indianapolis our permanent home,” Weisenbach said. “The city’s burgeoning facilities, first-class hospitality community, and racing-minded culture make this a perfect fit. After shattering our projections for our inaugural show in 2009 and overwhelming, positive feedback from attendees, we’re confident in this deliberate decision to keep our show in Indianapolis.”

About the International Motorsports Industry Show

The International Motorsports Industry Show offers individuals and companies from all facets of the racing business the chance to interact, share ideas and products, build relationships and attend seminars to improve motorsports business around the world. The second annual IMIS is set for Dec. 1-3, 2010 at the Indiana Convention Center in downtown Indianapolis. For more information, log onto www.imis-indy.com

About the Indianapolis Convention & Visitors Association

The mission of the Indianapolis Convention & Visitors Association is to advance Indianapolis tourism and economic growth. The ICVA seeks to increase the number of visitors and their financial impact, expand positive perception of Indianapolis, and positively influence the visitor experience. According to a Global Insight report, in partnership with D.K. Shifflet & Associates, 22 million visitors annually provide $3.56 billion in total annual economic impact of tourism on the Indianapolis economy resulting in 66,600 full-time equivalent employment positions in the hospitality industry.  www.VisitIndy.com.
