FASTRAK Racing Series

Toccoa Motor Speedway FASTRAK sanctioned in 2010

New promoters making big impact at GA’s longest operating race track

FASTRAK Southern/Smokey Mtn/Mid East Touring Series to make 3 stops at Toccoa in 2010

Carnesville, GA (Feb-24) The FASTRAK Racing Series has announced that Toccoa Motor Speedway will once again be FASTRAK sanctioned in 2010. In addition the FASTRAK Southern/Smokey Mtn/Mid East Touring Series is scheduled to visit Toccoa Motor Speedway on three occasions in 2010. Rich in its racing heritage, Toccoa Motor Speedway has been in operation longer than any of the other 40 race tracks still in operation in the state of Georgia. Perhaps the biggest news surrounding the 5/16’s mile high banked clay oval is the impact first year promoter David Conner is having in breathing new life into the facility.

“Toccoa Motor Speedway has a storied past in short track racing not only in the state of Georgia, but on a regional basis as well” says Conner. “Not only are we committed to preserving Toccoa Motor Speedways heritage, we are committed to restoring the prominence that was once associated with Toccoa Motor Speedway. Much is involved in doing that. We feel as though our affiliation with the FASTRAK Racing Series can aid us in our efforts. FASTRAK will have more touring events in 2010 than they’ve ever had and I like how they’ve gone about it”.

“With the downturn seen in the economy in 2009, FASTRAK has accomplished scheduling more events by placing a lot of emphasis on viewing the racing landscape from both a race team perspective as well as from a race track perspective. Race teams will have an opportunity in 2010 to race more than they ever in the past and they’ll do so with less travel expense. By the looks of things, FASTRAK’s expanded footprint in the region will enable race teams to race for FASTRAK points on Friday and Saturday nights in 2010” said Conner.

Conner goes on to say “Jonathan Taylor races with us and he finished in 24^th in the FASTRAK/City Chevrolet National Weekly Racing Series last year without much opportunity to get many races in on a Friday night. Since Buffalo Motor Speedway is just an hour or so away and they race on Friday nights with FASTRAK sanctioning, it’ll be interesting to see if Taylor makes a serious challenge to crack the Top 10 by the end of the year”.

Conner and his team at Toccoa Motor Speedway have wasted little time in their efforts to enhance the overall racing experience for race teams and spectators visiting the speedway in 2010. “For starters, we’ve brought in new clay” says Conner. “We’re upgrading the restrooms, and we’re also making improvements to the parking areas, which includes improving and expanding our designated handicap parking areas as well. We’ll also have a designated handicapped area in the stands easy access”.

Conner is committed to recapturing the family segment in the surrounding area. “We want to bring family appeal to what we are doing and we realize that in order to do this, the show needs to move quicker and that’s something I think fans will see this year. We’re going to start early and finish early by speeding the show up” vows Conner.

“By the time we get done, we hope to have an area designated for children. On top of that we will have a Junior Fan Club that kids can be a part of. We’re looking to get to the point where we will have a drawing each week where one of the Junior Fan Club members will be able to be in the pit of their favorite driver and hang out”

As far as the racing at Toccoa Motor Speedway in 2010, Conner says “it’s really going to be something to see the new Hoosier tires here this year on the FASTRAK Late Models. We’ve seen the stories about track records falling at Modoc Speedway and Cherokee Speedway during tire testing. The track record here for crate cars is 13.082 seconds. If the pattern holds true here as well, a lap in the 12’s will be an incredible thing to just watch” says Conner

The FASTRAK Southern/Smokey Mtn/Mid East Touring Series will visit Toccoa Motor Speedway on May 1^st, June 19^th and again on August 28^th.

In addition to the FASTRAK Racing Series on a weekly basis in, other classes that will see action at Toccoa Motor Speedway in 2010 are; Super Late Model, Limited Late Model, Hobby, Modified Street
Stock 4, Front Wheel Drive, and Young Guns

Rolling Thunder Raceway FASTRAK Sanctioned in 2010

Ararat VA

“A number of improvements are currently underway at Rolling Thunder for 2010 benefitting both the race teams and our race fans……”

Gary Nester, Track Owner

Carnesville, GA (Feb-12) The FASTRAK Racing Series announced today that Rolling Thunder Raceway is the latest track to be added to the growing number of tracks that will be FASTRAK sanctioned in 2010. In addition the Ararat VA facility will be visited in 2010 by the FASTRAK Southern/Smokey Mtn/Mid East Touring Series as well. Rolling Thunder Raceway owners Gary and Alesia Nester are in the midst of making a number of improvements to the facility benefitting both race teams as well as race fans visiting Rolling Thunder in 2010. “We are a work in progress” says Gary Nester. “Alesia and I have always tried to view operations at Rolling Thunder from both perspectives; the race fans as well as the race teams. We constantly assess and evaluate and having done that, visitors to Rolling Thunder in 2010 will see wholesale changes.”

“One of the biggest changes we’ve made is to the racing surface itself. Not only are we widening the racing surface, we’re increasing the banking in Turns 1 & 2. We are also reconfiguring both the front and back straight-a-ways in effort to make the transition from the corners at each end of the speedway an easier one. Ultimately, the track is bigger and wider. When the season opens in April, the track layout here at Rolling Thunder will be a true 3/8’s mile” says Nester

Unending in their efforts, Nester adds “we’re increasing the seating at Rolling Thunder as well. New bleachers are under construction and while the weather has played havoc throughout the off season, we hope to have new restrooms in place in 2010 as well”.

“We’re excited about once again being FASTRAK sanctioned in 2010” says Nester. “We see a concerted effort by FASTRAK in 2010 to partner Friday and Saturday night tracks in close proximity to one another enabling the race teams to race on Friday and Saturday nights. The FASTRAK/ City Chevrolet National Weekly Racing Series is without a doubt the most competitive thing going as far as providing an opportunity for a driver to be catapulted into the mainstream on a national level. With Wythe Raceway racing on Saturday nights about an hour away, drivers in this area have an opportunity to give a national championship a serious look”.

The FASTRAK Southern/Smokey Mtn/Mid East Touring Series will visit Rolling Thunder on Friday July 23^rd.

“I think all of the work underway at Rolling Thunder is impressive” said FASTRAK’s Michael Hurley. “The level of their commitment to both the race teams and the race fans in the area is unprecedented. Gary and Alesia are committed to making Rolling Thunder Raceway the facility that tops everyone’s list in the area from both the racers perspective as well the race fans. I think the kind of racing everyone will be treated to at Rolling Thunder in 2010 will be on a level not seen before”.

In addition to the FASTRAK Racing Series, other divisions which will see action at Rolling Thunder in 2010 are Limited Sportsman/Super Streets, renegades, Pure Stock V-8’s, 600 mini sprints, U-cars, and mini stocks.

Travelers Rest Speedway FASTRAK Sanctioned in 2010

Travelers Rest SC

New promoter Andy Hyde determined to transform Travelers Rest Speedway for race fans AND competitors

Carnesville, GA (Feb-3) The FASTRAK Racing Series formally announced today that Travelers Rest Speedway in Travelers Rest SC will be weekly FASTRAK sanctioned in 2010. In addition, 2010 will see the return of the FASTRAK Southern/Smokey Mtn/Mid East Touring Series which has not competed at the 3/8’s mile semi-banked oval in nearly two years. “We’re really looking forward to 2010” said Andy Hyde who has taken over operations at Travelers Rest. “No one can argue the level of competition that is synonymous with the FASTRAK Racing Series. While Travelers Rest has been a part of the FASTRAK Series the last few years, we want to take things to a higher level. The fan base here is very supportive of the speedway as well as the drivers and the race teams. We’re working hard to improve a number of things here to upgrade and enhance the overall experience the competitors and race fans have when they come to Travelers Rest Speedway”

Hyde adds, “We‘re trying to address things here from the perspective of both the race fans as well the competitors. As far as the race surface is concerned, we’ve brought in new clay and in the process reconfigured Turns 3&4. When cars exited Turn 4, the groove was narrow and would close up real quick to where completing a pass was very difficult. We believe the way in which we’ve reconfigured that end of the speedway will promote much better racing. I really think the new clay and the work we’ve done in Turns 3&4 will have a huge impact on the quality of the overall product at Travelers Rest. You combine this with the new Hoosier Tire package FASTRAK is running on this year and I think it’s safe to say we’ll see a level of racing here that hasn’t been seen in a long time. I know the competitors will like what we’ve done, and more importantly, so will the fans”

“Something else we’re working hard at is giving everything here a cleaner, fresher look. We’ve already redone the restrooms and are in the process of getting a fresh coat of paint on as much as we can although the weather has been working against us lately. In our efforts to upgrade, everyone will notice new signage complete with a new logo for the speedway. As far as that goes, we’re even redeveloping the website which should be complete in the coming days. I have to give a nod to Primetime Designs in Asheville for all the work they’ve done for us” said Hyde

“Overall, we hope that when everyone visits Travelers Rest this year, they’ll know as soon as they enter the property that things here are different” says Hyde. “Ultimately, my goal is to improve the quality of what everyone is coming to be a part of; close, competitive racing. We’re putting forth a lot of effort in the hopes that everyone is still talking about the racing they saw on their way out to the parking lot when the show is over”

“After nearly a two year absence, I think the addition of two FASTRAK Touring events here at Travelers Rest is long overdue” said Hyde. “We’re situated in highly a concentrated area where there is a lot of activity in terms of the FASTRAK Racing Series. I think that with the number of race teams in such close proximity to us, I look for both events to be bring a good number of race teams translating into two pretty exciting shows, and the race fans in this area really deserve it”

“The amount of work Andy and his group have gotten done at Travelers Rest in such a short period of demonstrates how determined they are in transforming Travelers Rest into a premier facility for everyone who visits the speedway either to watch a race or compete in one.” said FASTRAK’s Michael Hurley. “Andy knows racing and he views everything from both perspectives; the race fans and the race teams. As a result, everyone wins and the FASTRAK Racing Series is honored to a part of what will be the Travelers Rest Speedway success story”.

The FASTRAK Southern/Smokey Mtn/Mid East Touring Series will visit Travelers Rest on April 17 and August 14 respectively.

In addition to the FASTRAK Racing Series, other divisions that will see action at Travelers Rest in 2010 include limited sportsman, pure stock, stock V-8, super stock 4, stock 4, renegades and young gun.

2010 Season Opener – FASTRAK National Touring Event

$10,000 To Win ‘Modoc 100’ March 5^TH & 6^TH

Modoc Speedway to be FASTRAK Sanctioned in 2010

Open practice on March 4^th at 7pm

Carnesville, GA (Feb-1) In the winter months preceding 2009, Modoc Speedway owner Brian Stewart had made the decision that he wanted to kick off the year long 25^th Anniversary Celebration at Modoc Speedway in a big way. The byproduct of Stewart’s “outside of the box” thinking was the ‘Modoc 100’. The event would mark only the second time in the 25 years Modoc Speedway has stood where 100 laps has been the distance of ANY event at Modoc. Already committed to FASTRAK weekly sanctioning at Modoc Speedway in 2009, Stewart along with FASTRAK Racing Series Founder & CEO Stan Lester gave life to the $10,000 to win Modoc 100. The event would kick off the 2009 season for both Modoc Speedway and the FASTRAK Racing Series with the added distinction of being the largest season opening event in the history of FASTRAK. The event would also mark the biggest season opening event for any series in the country competing on the GM 602 and 604 “crate” engine platforms.

The Modoc 100 is a FASTRAK National Touring event as well as the season’s first FASTRAK Southern/Smokey Mtn/Mid East Touring Series event.

As the days counted down leading up to the 2009 FASTRAK ‘Modoc 100’, the event had clearly garnered an amount of attention an event of this magnitude would generate as demonstrated by the number of credential requests from numerous media outlets. Additionally, the number of telephone calls from race teams as well as race fans received at Modoc Speedway and the FASTRAK Racing Series national headquarters in Carnesville GA was unprecedented.

Blairsville GA’s Jonathan Davenport went on to win the Modoc 100 and picked up the $10,000 winner’s check but perhaps even more importantly, Modoc Speedway and the FASTRAK Racing Series experienced occurrences never before seen by the speedway or the series.

Seventy race teams had registered at the FASTRAK Racing Series hauler prior to the event from as far away as Missouri, Pennsylvania and New York, an occurrence normally reserved for the FASTRAK Racing Series GRAND NATIONALS or the $10,000 to win Pro Late Model Nationals held every Labor Day weekend at Fred Brown’s Wythe Raceway in Rural Retreat VA

As the drop of the green flag neared, another notable occurrence was the overflow, standing room only crowd necessitating the need to delay the start of the event to allow race fans who could park no closer to the speedway than two miles away time to get settled into their seats. It was learned later that the FASTRAK ‘Modoc 100’ had attracted the largest crowd to ever witness an event in the 25 year history of Modoc Speedway.

“We’re really excited about the Modoc 100 kicking off 2010 for the FASTRAK Racing Series here at Modoc Speedway for the second year in a row” said Stewart. “Our fans are not only loyal, they’re dedicated. The level of competition associated with the FASTRAK Racing Series brand is unquestionable and the race promises to be exciting especially with switch to Hoosier tires. FASTRAK held a tire test here not that long ago, and every car participating in the tire test had surpassed the FASTRAK track record here by over a second. One thing everyone commented on during the tire testing was how much more stable the cars were in the corners. They could drive deeper into the corner and get back on the gas quicker. With all of the competitors competing with the same engines and on the same Hoosier tires, this thing is shaping up to be quite a race”.

“We’re also excited about our FASTRAK sanctioning in 2010. We have some local drivers here that can mount a serious challenge for the FASTRAK/ City Chevrolet National Weekly Championship. It’s the big prize many of them have their eye on” says Stewart.

FASTRAK/Hoosier Tire Program Details Released

First production run slated for mid-February

Lakeville IN (Jan-29) Hoosier Racing Tire, in cooperation with the FASTRAK Racing Series, is proud to release the details of the 2010 FASTRAK tire program. Beginning in mid-February, Hoosier will release the first production run of new FASTRAK-plated tires.

“I know this announcement is coming later than both Hoosier or FASTRAK would have liked,” stated Hoosier Product Manager Shanon Rush. “But you only get one chance to start off a new relationship. Stan and I agonized over the details many times to try and satisfy all of the FASTRAK regions and drivers. Although it took two separate tests and many phone calls, I think we have finally found the tires we were looking for.”

Hoosier will produce two sizes for the FASTRAK Racing Series, the 88.0/11.0-15 and the 92.0/11.0-15. Normally utilized as a left rear tire, the target rollout for the 88 inch tire will be roughly 87 to 88 inches. The catalog number will be 36608 with a size description of 88.0/11.0-15 LSB. It will be available in the FT200 and FT400 compounds.

The 92 inch tire, generally a front and right rear tire, will be spec number 36628 with a size designation of 92.0/11.0-15 LSB. Three compounds will be available including the FT200, FT400, and FT600. The target measurement of the 92.0/11.0 will be 91 to 92 inches.

The three FASTRAK compounds, FT200, FT400 and FT600, were chosen with durability and versatility in mind. The FT200 should durometer in the 45 range while the FT400 fills the 55 durometer range needs. Finally, the FT600 will be the fail-safe, right rear only compound with a 65 durometer range.

“I can’t express how much FASTRAK as a company and I personally appreciate the tireless efforts everyone at Hoosier has put into this process.” stated FASTRAK CEO/Founder Stan Lester. “Our originally planned day two of tire testing was ‘snowed out’, and with the Christmas holiday the following week, the decision making process was delayed. In the end, we have come up with an incredible product that is durable, fast, and easy to drive. Tracks and teams are calling wanting to know when tires will be ready. 2010 is developing into what I think will be the most exciting year FASTRAK has seen to date”.

For more information or specific questions on the new FASTRAK tires, please feel free to contact your nearest Hoosier Racing Tire Distributor. A complete list of Hoosier Distributors can be found on Hoosier’s website, www.hoosiertire.com.

FASTRAK Racing Series

Beckley Motorsports Park (WV) FASTRAK Sanctioned in 2010

Beckley WV

Carnesville, GA (Jan-19) The FASTRAK Racing Series announced today the signing of a seventh track new to the FASTRAK Racing Series in 2010. Beckley Motorsports Park in Beckley WV will compete under the FASTRAK banner throughout the upcoming season where the FASTRAK Racing Series late models will be in competition every Friday night. Beckley Motorsports Park promoter Jim Williams who attended his first race at Beckley in 1966 said “as a promoter, during the winter months you look back over the year just completed and look at everything you did right and identify the areas you want to make improvements in. For us here at Beckley, we don’t look at things from the standpoint of just the fans, or the race teams. I’m pretty adamant about looking at everything on both sides of the front straight-away fence and how it impacts every visitor to Beckley Motorsports Park. Having said that, becoming a part of the FASTRAK Racing Series is something we needed to do here. 2009 was a good year for us, but as the year went on I began to realize that there were a lot of FASTRAK race teams in this area that were either not racing on Friday nights or they were driving right by us to find somewhere they could race on Friday nights to secure FASTRAK points”

“I’m really excited to see how the national championship picture will look come midsummer. The FASTRAK race teams in this area are really committed to the series, and I’m not talking about crate racing in general, I’m talking FASTRAK. The rules tip the scales in favor of the race teams who compete in the FASTRAK Racing Series. Everyone has a fair chance. There aren’t many racing series that I’m aware of that provide so much opportunity. I think what racers want more than anything is to get a fair shake and FASTRAK does that very well.”

“I’m really impressed with the race teams in our area. These guys have learned how to get the most of what they have. When they’ve gone off and competed in some of the big races, they’ve represented this area quite well. In fact, I think West Virginia had maybe seven drivers in the top 50 in the final FASTRAK/City Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series in 2009 and when you consider most of these guys had nowhere near the resources a lot of the race teams in the top 50 had, you can’t help but be impressed. It says a lot about these guys and their dedication and commitment”

Williams went on to add “They love to race and since we race on Friday nights at Beckley, now everyone has the opportunity to compete twice a week in the region and that’s pretty exciting and because of the level playing field environment, race fans are going to see some really good racing here. In a way, it’ll be like the old International Race of Champions. Same engines, same tires. It’s IROC on dirt”

Williams is quick to point out that in addition to bringing FASTRAK to Beckley Motorsports Park in 2010, race fans as well as the race teams will notice a number of improvements at the 3/8s mile high banked facility. “In the second half of 2009, we saw tremendous growth in the number of families coming out for a night at the races at Beckley Motorsports Park” said Williams. “It’s really good to see such a big increase in the number of families coming out. In 2010 it will be very apparent to those who visit our facility that we want to cater to them”

Williams adds “The Beckley area has always supported us and we are determined to transform Beckley Motorsports Park into one of the area’s leading family entertainment venues”

“A couple of things everyone will see in 2010 is how diligent we will be in keeping the show moving. We’re going away from the one car at a time qualifying format. When we qualify they’ll be at least four or five cars on the track at the same time qualifying. We’re putting a lot of emphasis in 2010 on pre staging each event so when one event concludes, little time will pass before the next event is rolling out on to the speedway. We’re going to get done at a decent hour every week” says Williams

Another project underway “We’re taking down the bleachers on the back straight-away and terracing the hill back there. Race fans can bring lawn chairs and sit out on the hillside. We’ll also have a designated handicap area back there as well where races can be viewed from inside a vehicle” said Williams.

The pit area is located outside the race track and race teams will notice an expanded pit area. “We’ve enlarged the pits. Not only will there be more room, getting in and out will be a lot easier. It’ll be a lot better for the race teams and it could well end up being an asset in moving the show along as well”

“We’re also putting some of the bleachers we are taking down outside of the back straight-away and putting them in the pit area so the drivers and crews of each of the teams can have a dedicated area in which to view the races” said Williams.

In addition to the FASTRAK Racing Series, other divisions that will see action at Beckley in 2010 are super late models, the popular AMRA open wheel modifieds, street stocks and hornets.

Discussions are also scheduled whereby a FASTRAK Racing Series regional touring event may make a stop at Beckley Motorsports Park in 2010 as well.

“We’re thrilled to have Beckley on board with us” said FASTRAK Founder & CEO Stan Lester. “Both Jim and I feel that this association will enhance the amount opportunity for race teams in the region, and that is what the FASTRAK Racing Series is all about. I’m also very confident the increased size of our footprint in West Virginia will lead to many good things for not just the race teams, but more importantly, the race fans”.

FASTRAK Racing Series

Buffalo Motor Speedway (SC) Weekly Fastrak Sanctioned in 2010

Buffalo, SC

New Ownership & improvements at 3/8 mi facility quickly becoming a ‘Hot Topic’ in South Carolina

Carnesville, GA (Jan-14) The FASTRAK Racing Series announced today that Buffalo Motor Speedway (formerly Union County Speedway) in Buffalo SC will be FASTRAK sanctioned in 2010. Buffalo Speedway is the sixth new track in recent weeks to commit to competing under the FASTRAK banner in 2010. Buffalo will have the distinction of being the only FASTRAK Racing Series sanctioned track in the region competing on Friday nights enabling all race teams the opportunity to compete at other area FASTRAK sanctioned venues on Saturday nights. According to new track owner Jack Abney “the FASTRAK Racing Series is the most competitive series in the country. By racing on Friday nights at Buffalo Motor Speedway our drivers will have the opportunity to race two nights a week virtually in their own backyard. I realistically feel as though any one of our drivers can make a strong bid for the FASTRAK/City Chevrolet National Weekly Racing Series Championship”

Abney goes on to say “with FASTRAK being Georgia based, I don’t know that people new to the FASTRAK Racing Series realize that the national weekly champion has never been won by anyone in the south. To me this speaks volumes in terms of how much of a reality the level playing field environment FASTRAK promotes really is”

Located some 50 miles southeast of Greenville, Abney is committed to transforming the Buffalo Motor Speedway facility into one of the area’s leading family entertainment values. “We realize that this encompasses two things” says Abney. “Our priorities are multi-dimensional. It’s paramount that we don’t view things with tunnel vision. We want coming to Buffalo Motor Speedway to be a positive experience for both the fans and the competitors”

“Gary Ramsey has been involved in motorsports in this area for 25 years. Gary will be working on enhancements for the drivers and race teams. Already underway are concrete pads for race teams who are interested. We will also have an area available for race teams to wash their cars before leaving the track. We’re also making improvements to the staging area which will enable us to get cars on and off the track in a more time efficient manner. Our drivers as well as our officials will benefit from this of course, but more importantly, so too will the race fans as the transition between classes on the track will be much quicker”

“Another upgrade fans as well as the race teams will experience as soon as they enter the property will be the road into the speedway from the highway. We’re redoing the road, making it much easier to enter and exit the property. We’re also making improvements to the parking areas”

“We’re also making a rather large addition to the existing building in the grandstand area enabling our fans to eat indoors and out of the elements if they choose. The area will also house game room activities not only for kids but the entire family. We may end up with a racing simulator as well. Plans also call for a mascot who will interact with our youngest guests”

In the upper level of the building towering above the grandstands is an enclosed area from which the competition on the track can be viewed.

“We’re fortunate in that the Buffalo community is very motorsports friendly” says Abney. “In the 20 years I’ve been going to races, I’ve seen lots of places where the focal point was either the fans or the drivers and I think it’s critical in today’s marketplace to be diligent in trying to view everything we do from both perspectives.

“I’m excited about 2010” says Abney. “I think we have a lot to offer. We are striving to make Buffalo Motor Speedway a place that has something for the entire family. From the perspective of our race fans, we’re trying to create an environment where the need to find a babysitter on Friday night to come to the races is eliminated.

“In terms of the racing, I can’t think of a better product to offer our fans than the FASTRAK Racing Series as our marquee late model division. The competition is incredible. The FASTRAK cars put on a great show. From a race team standpoint, I don’t know of anyone who has been so earnest in an effort to keep racing affordable. From a rules perspective, they’ve done more to keep a handle on things than anyone out there”.

In addition to the FASTRAK Racing Series, Open Wheel Modifieds will compete throughout the year at Buffalo Motor Speedway. Other classes seeing action in 2010 will be crate sportsman, renegades, young guns, front wheel drive as well as the popular street stock 4’s and the super stock 4’s.

“It’s refreshing to see someone with the level of enthusiasm Jack and his team have at Buffalo Motor Speedway. His passion for transforming BMS into a first rate facility for everyone on both sides of the fence is impressive” said FASTRAK Founder & CEO Stan Lester. “I’m confident the relationship between Jack and his entire staff will transcend into big things for both Buffalo Motor Speedway and the FASTRAK Racing Series”

FASTRAK Racing Series –Northeast Region

Hesston Speedway (PA) To Be Weekly Sanctioned in 2010

Hesston, PA

Central Pennsylvania track set to host FASTRAK Northeast Touring Event on August 7

Pulaski, PA (Jan-8) The FASTRAK Racing Series is pleased to welcome Hesston Speedway located in Hesston, PA as a 2010 weekly-sanctioned Late Model speedway. In addition to becoming a member of the expanding network of tracks underneath the FASTRAK Racing Series banner, Hesston will also host its first ever FASTRAK Northeast Touring Series event on Saturday, August 7.

Hesston marks the first FASTRAK sanctioned speedway in central Pennsylvania The half-mile dirt oval owned by Dave Eriksen and promoted by Dusty Hertzler will race on Saturday nights in 2010 and feature the FASTRAK Racing Series on 10-12 occasions.

“We’re thrilled to have Hesston join FASTRAK and be part of the FASTRAK Northeast region,” expressed Northeast Region Co-Director Vicki Emig. “It’s great to finally have a presence in central Pa. and hopefully that will open the doors in the future for other speedways to the east of them. We met with Dusty a couple years ago about expanding FASTRAK into central Pa., but things just didn’t come together at the time. With Dusty now getting his first chance at promoting, it’s great to see him give the FASTRAK Racing Series an opportunity.”

In 2008, a record nine speedways made up FASTRAK Northeast Region with a record 208 different drivers competing. In addition to providing race teams in central Pa. the opportunity to compete under the FASTRAK Racing Series umbrella, the addition of Hesston Speedway gives race teams at FASTRAK sanctioned Dog Hollow Speedway a chance to compete a second night when Hesston Speedway features the FASTRAK Racing Series.

“I felt it was important to go FASTRAK,” stated Hertzler. “They have a great program from their rules enforcement, to tires, and great benefits with all their point funds. I want our drivers to make the most out of going crate Late Model racing. That was the selling point. I put a feeler out recently and got some positive response. Hopefully with this official announcement it will get the ball rolling.”

“I want people to know that I’m not trying to replace the current Limited Late Model division,” explained Hertzler. “I really felt the need to have an economical, affordable Late Model class and feel FASTRAK is the answer. The cost savings is incredible and you don’t have to look too far away to see its success. Not only will this open up some doors for FASTRAK in central Pa., I think this provides an affordable option for race teams looking to move up into something else. I think Street Stock guys really need to take a look at this class

While Hertzler hopes to have 10 cars on opening night, many fans at Hesston and in central Pa. will get their first chance to see the FASTRAK Northeast Late Model Touring Series when they make their first ever appearance to Hesston on Saturday, August 7. This event will be held in conjunction with Dog Hollow Speedway’s Touring Series event the night before.

The FASTRAK Northeast Touring Series will begin year number four in 2010. Past Champions are Alan Dellinger, Max Blair, and David Scott. In 2009, several records were shattered. Fifteen events were held seeing 138 drivers competing. The average car count of each event was 32. Tri-City Speedway set the high water mark in 2009 as 43 teams were on hand Labor Day weekend.

At the upcoming FASTRAK Northeast Touring Series Awards Banquet on Saturday, January 16 at the Normandy Banquet Center/Hickory VFW in Hermitage, Pa., the top 12 drivers in the final 2009 FASTRAK Northeast Touring Series points will receive a record cash payout. Positions 13-15 in the final 2009 FASTRAK Northeast Touring Series points will be receiving product contingencies

“We’re happy with how the 2010 Touring Series schedule is coming together,” stated Northeast Co-Director Mike Leone. “The Hesston date gives us 13 events thus far, which is really good as we’re still waiting on other speedways to give us dates. The Dog Hollow-Hesston weekend should be a fun weekend for the racers. We coordinated the dual event weekend to save on travel expenses for our race teams.”

Hesston has already begun the process of improving the speedway grounds in anticipation of the 2010 season. Fifty loads of clay have been placed on the track and a new main entrance to the speedway grounds has been configured along with the ongoing efforts to reconfigure both the inside and outside pit areas. Fans and racers visiting the speedway in 2010 will be greeted with better parking access and will notice other major aesthetic improvements.

$1,500 To Win July 9^th- $10,000 To Win July 10^th

FASTRAK Racing Series at West Virginia Motor Speedway

Mineral Wells, WV

5/8 mile WVMS ‘Speedplant’ will be weekly sanctioned in 2010

Carnesville GA (Jan-6) The continued success of the FASTRAK Racing Series has led to yet another first for the series with the addition of the renowned West Virginia Motor Speedway to the growing list of tracks the FASTRAK Racing Series will visit in 2010. The 5/8’s mile West Virginia Motor Speedway will be weekly sanctioned throughout 2010 and will host a two night event where $1,500 will be up for grabs to the winner on the first night July 9^th, and $10,000 to the winner on the following night of racing action at the famed Mineral Wells, WV facility.

West Virginia Motor Speedway, located just south of Parkersburg on I-77 will have the distinction of being the largest track in terms of length ever visited by the FASTRAK Racing Series. WVMS has hosted some of the largest premier racing events in dirt racing in the nation over the years. In addition to the FASTRAK racing Series, 2010 will see the World of Outlaw Late Model Series in action on May 29^th &30^th.

“It will be a great honor to race at WVMS” stated FASTRAK’s Michael Hurley. “Some of the greatest names in the sport have made it a point to compete there. Our teams are excited about competing at this particular venue, which in effect will be our ‘Super Speedway’ event of the year. It’s the largest track we will visit in terms of length. As equal as the FASTRAK Late Models have become, it will be an exciting two days of racing. The racing surface at WVMS is very wide all the way around the track. The turns are flat and the straight-aways are long and fast.

BDS Racing Promotions together with Charleston WV area businessman Lynn Chapman and Associates have formed a joint partnership; Mountain State Motorsports Promotions and will operate West Virginia Motor Speedway through 2012. BDS Promotions who most recently brought new life to Tyler County Speedway in Middlebourne, WV is comprised of Brian Ferrell, Daniel Patterson and Scott Strode. Record crowds as well as record car counts became the norm while the trio managed Tyler County and they are determined to bring the same success to WVMS by offering race fans a diverse schedule, fan friendly promotions, and a well organized, timely run show on each and every race night.

BDS garnered a stellar reputation amongst the competitors at Tyler County Speedway as a result of the high priority Ferrell, Patterson and Strode routinely placed on always providing a racy surface on which to compete.

BDS Racing Promotions is blessed and excited about bringing Mr. Chapman on board. “We have known Lynn for several years and have never met a more genuine person that loves racing like he does and with his many resources and work ethic are thrilled to have Lynn and his associates Tom Wellman and David Saulsgiver on board in bringing the monster 5/8 mile back to the pinnacle of motorsports” concluded Brian Ferrell.

“In addition to the FASTRAK Racing Series we have some really big shows in the works that I’m sure will put WVMS back on the national map. From marquee crown jewel events, to family oriented monster truck shows, hammer down 410 sprint action; the sky’s the limit really on what is possible at WVMS” said BDS’s Daniel Patterson

Mountain State Motorsports Promotions Scott Strode said "In 2009, we sanctioned our crate engine late model division with the FASTRAK organization. We had struggled to grow the class prior to FASTRAK and saw the value to the racers with FASTRAK which is designed to put the emphasis on driving ability and set-up ultimately de-emphasizing the money aspect."

After aligning with FASTRAK, the result was a field of late models that continued to grow until it was our largest weekly class of cars".

"We ended up with 10 different feature winners in 2009, race teams from 6 different states, and 5 of our regulars finished in the top 25 in the FASTRAK national point standings. A lot of our drivers are going to cash some nice point fund checks."

“As demonstrated by their success at Tyler County Speedway, this team will succeed at WVMS” said Hurley. “We like what we see in this group; like FASTRAK, they are very much ‘outside of the box’ thinkers and that’s paramount in being successful in today’s world of racing. You have to first give race fans as well as the race teams a reason to come. Where expertise is really vital is keeping them, and these guys have demonstrated that they really know how to do that.

From its unique, picturesque and spacious terraced hillside seating, perfect location along Interstate 77, to the awe inspiring high speeds the 5/8’s mile track layout offers, the list of reasons why West Virginia Motor Speedway will be a ‘MUST SEE’ seemingly grows longer on a daily basis.
