Mulkern Racing Set For Multi-Car Effort In 2013

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – 4.10.13

For more information, visit MulkernRacing.com
or E-mail GWCNewEngland@gmail.com

Organization To Back PASS North, Beech Ridge Teams This Season

FALMOUTH, Maine – For the second time in as many seasons, Mulkern Racing have representation in both the PASS North Series and in weekly NASCAR Whelen All-American Series competition at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in 2013.

Veteran pilot Scott Mulkern of Falmouth, Maine, will make his return to full-time PASS racing for the first time in a decade after several seasons of part-time efforts, while Bobby Timmons III of Windham, Maine, will return to the seat at Beech Ridge where he was a rookie in 2012.

"I can say 'thank you' over and over again, but it doesn't really truly show how appreciative we are – me, my father and my team – of what everybody at Mulkern Racing is doing for us," Timmons said. "It's everybody at Mulkern Racing that's part of this. They help us out and give us everything we need.

"I think we'll be forever indebted."

It's a change at the top for Mulkern Racing, which has fielded multi-car PASS efforts over the previous three seasons but will pare down to one car for the majority of the tour's schedule this year. Mulkern himself hasn't competed full-time in the series, which he has been a longtime supporter of, since he finished fifth in the final standings in 2003.

"I've never really been a points racer," Mulkern said. "I've always wanted to do the whole thing again at some point, and this felt like the right time to give it one good shot."

Mulkern will have Gary Crooks of Mooresville, N.C., – who served the same position for the team's second car a year ago – as his crew chief on the familiar No. 84, with sponsorship from Southern Maine Chrysler Dodge Jeep and Community Pharmacies.

Mulkern made just seven PASS starts a year ago, after winning the 2011 season finale at Oxford Plains Speedway.

Timmons finished sixth as a rookie in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Pro Series standings at Beech Ridge in 2012, including his first career win in July. He'd like to improve upon that showing this season in the ultra-competitive top division at the track.

"Last year was pretty much as good as could be expected for our first season in these cars," said Timmons, who'll drive the No. 48 Southern Maine Chrysler Dodge Jeep/Community Pharmacies/Timmons Machine Dodge. "There were some nights where I felt we left a little bit on the table, but overall – looking at the whole season in one picture – it went about the way we wanted it to go. Yeah, we left some on the table, but it could have been a lot worse some nights, too.

"I don't think (the championship) is out of the question this year. That's my goal – but that's every racer's goal. To come out and say, 'I want to win a championship,' I think it's a no-brainer. I want to win one. Everybody who races does. You have to have good cars and be good every week, but you have to have good luck, too. Take nothing from (Brad Babb) last year, but he had some luck, too."

Timmons will enter the first PASS North Series race of the season, at Oxford Plains Speedway on April 21, but has no firm plans to run PASS races beyond that. He finished eighth in his PASS debut at Oxford Plains Speedway last October.

"It's all about seat time and having fun," Timmons said. "We're coming off a Top-10 run there last year, and we're bringing the same thing this time around – just with a lot more confidence. I'm really just looking to improve on that.

"We're really focused on what we're doing with Mulkern Racing. When we're not racing ourselves, we'll go and help Scott's team at the track with whatever they need."

Toledo's 7-Up 150 media spotlight getting brighter; add live audio, live timing & scoring at ARCAracing.com

(TOLEDO, Ohio - April 10, 2013) - Toledo Speedway's home-opener - the "Border Wars" 7-Up 150 - is getting bigger by the day. With more than 50 quality entries expected from 10-plus states across the country for the Saturday afternoon, April 20 big show late model race, the media spotlight is also getting brighter by the moment.

In addition to coverage on the BCSN TV network and Speed51.com, ARCAracing.com is getting in the game in a major way with live timing and scoring and live flag-to-flag streaming audio coverage. The combination of the two media platforms atARCAracing.com will mark the first time in history that the ARCA CRA Super Series and the ARCA Midwest Tour will be featured simultaneously in live streaming audio, accompanied by live timing and scoring.

It's already the first time in history the combined tours will compete together in the same race at the same track.

"We'll treat the 7-Up 150 for the ARCA CRA Super Series and the ARCA Midwest Tour exactly as we would the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards with respect to the live timing & scoring and live audio streaming on ARCAracing.com," said ARCA President Ron Drager.

"We recognize this as a major event among the nearly 150 ARCA sanctioned events in 2013, and the race teams in both tours have earned this coverage. The overwhelming number of pre-entered race teams, and the depth of quality in that entry list, merits ARCA putting all resources available to us behind providing fans of both tours live, real-time on track data and description as it happens. For those who can't be with us at Toledo Speedway to witness the 7-Up 150 activities in person, ARCAracing.com will joinSpeed51.com and the BCSN TV Network in providing major league coverage."

The live timing and scoring element at ARCAracing.com begins Friday afternoon, April 19 with an optional practice session from 3 p.m. to 7. The combination of live timing and scoring in tandem with live streaming audio comes together Saturday for all the on-track activity, including practice at 11 a.m., followed by qualifying at 3 p.m. With so many entries pouring in, as many as two 'last chance' races will begin at 5 followed by an on-track autograph session that leads to pre-race ceremonies, and ultimately, the 7-Up 150 main event.

ARCA Racing Network anchor man Charlie Krall and color commentator Tim Clagg will provide the audio coverage.

"I'm very excited that the two tours are coming together in this unprecedented way," Krall said. "It will be an honor for Tim and me to broadcast this historical event. I'm looking forward to a warm, sunny day at Toledo, and some hot action on the track. We're certainly looking forward to everyone tuning in."

The team of Krall and Clagg also provide all the live streaming audio coverage throughout the year for ARCA's national tour - the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards.

"This event will give us the chance to get tuned up for the big season ahead with the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards," added Krall. Salem Speedway will host the ARCA Racing Series the following Sunday (April 28).

Toledo's 7-Up 150 will also air on the Buckeye Cable Sports Network (BCSN) on "Sunday Night at the Races" at 9 p.m. on the local Toledo cable access channel Sunday, April 21. The race can also be purchased through BCSN's video-on-demand programming at bcsn.tv/vod.html. You can also keep with the 7-Up 150 at Speed51.comwith live, in-time blogs. Speed51.com, owned and operated by renowned motorsports television analyst Bob Dillner, is considered as one of the leaders in online national late model coverage.

PASS South Drivers Excited For Return To Southern National

For Immediate Release

CHARLOTTE, NC (April 10) – As the thermometer rises, so does the excitement level of Eastern North Carolina race fans as the "Big Boys With The Bad Fast Toys" head back to Southern National Raceway Park in Kenly, NC. This weekend's Dogwood Blossom 150 marks the return of the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Models to Southern National for the first time since 2009. It will only be the third time PASS South has ever raced at Kenly. To show how tough the high-banked, 4/10 mile speedway is look no further than the record books and who came away with those checkered flags, Freddie Query in 2006 and Ben Rowe in 2009, two of the best to ever race Super Late Models.

In the late 1990's and early 2000's, Nashville, NC's John Batten was the man to beat when it came to Super Late Model racing at Southern National. Race wins were commonplace to the driver of the #48 Batten Ceramic Tile/Digital Repair/Hutson Insurance Chevrolet, who also won back-to-back Southern National titles in 2004 and 2005. Batten has been a regular with PASS South since the series started in 2006, finishing in the top 10 in points each of the last six seasons. But, despite being one of PASS South's most consistent drivers, Batten has yet to go to victory lane. And, 2013 has not started the way the veteran had hoped, finishing no better than 14^th at Dillon and failing to make the Easter Bunny 150 at Hickory due to a blown engine in practice. The veteran hopes his luck can change this weekend at the site of much of his early racing success.

"Really looking forward to going back to Southern National," said Batten. "It's a place where we have been successful in the past and it's a great place to hopefully turn our season around. We would really like to get a great finish in front of the hometown fans."

When Southern National Raceway Park reopened in 2012 after being shuttered for nearly four years, it was a priority to keep Super Late Model racing alive at the track. A Super Late Model "mini-series" was held with goal of once again snagging valuable PASS South dates in 2013. Two drivers that competed in Southern National's "mini-series" were Karl Weber and Bobby Measmer, Jr.

While competing in the PASS Pro Late Model division last year, Weber got his feet wet racing in Super Late Models at Southern National. As a PASS South rookie this year, Weber is seeing many tracks for the first time behind the wheel of the #50 Farm Logic/Silveus Insurance Ford, a decided disadvantage compared to his competitors. But coming to Kenly, Weber feels he will be on an even playing field, perhaps with an advantage.

"We're really excited about Southern National coming up," said Weber, nicknamed the 'Flying Farmer' thanks to his family business. "We ran the local series there last season and got Rookie-Of-The-Year. It definitely gives me an advantage knowing what the car's going to feel like which brings the whole team confidence for the Dogwood Blossom 150."

For Measmer, this weekend's action at Southern National gives him a sense of confidence. There is no other track on the circuit which Measmer has more experience racing on. And, he feels Southern National's track configuration plays right in to his team's hands.

"We ran the series at Kenly last year and ended the season really well, so I'm pumped to be going back," said Measmer. "I'm looking forward to going to a big motor track like Southern Nationnal with nice high banks, a lot of room to race, a lot of speed. It's a place I really enjoy running."

Another full field of the South's top Super Late Model drivers is expected led by PASS South championship contenders Kyle Grissom, Jay Fogleman, and Brandon Ward. Easter Bunny 150 winner Preston Peltier circles Southern National as one of his favorite tracks and will be returning along with teammate, Tyler Church. PASS North veteran Derek Ramstrom will make the trip down I-95 from Massachusetts to race at Kenly along with PASS South veterans Justin Allison, Bill Catania, Jody Measamer and Kevin Powell, returning to the driver's seat of Dicky Woodman's potent Q104 machine. Rookie contenders Brandon Lynn, Tate Fogleman, Bobby Gower, and Cole Timm will be joined at Southern National by a stellar group of talented youngsters including Jared Irvan and Joe Ryan Osborne. Trevor Noles steps into the Coulter Motorsports #2 as he and Tyler Audie make the move up from the PASS Pro Late Model division. And, longtime Southern National competitor Shelton McNair, Jr. hopes to take the M3 to victory lane for the first time in PASS South competition.

Action gets under way on Friday, April 12^th for the Dogwood Blossom 420 with rotating practice from 1 – 6:30 PM for the PASS South Super Late Models, PASS Pro Late Models, Limited Late Models, Chargers, Mini Mod Mayhem and Bandoleros. On Saturday, April 13th, pit gates open at 10 AM, with rotating practice for all divisionsfrom 12:45 PM – 4:20 PM, qualifying at 4:45 PM, the pit party at 6:30 PM and feature racing at 7 PM.

PASS North Super Late Model entry forms for the season opener at Oxford Plains Speedway on April 21^st, plus entry forms the Apple Blossom 200 at Wenatchee Valley Super Oval and the TD Bank 250 at Oxford can be found atProAllStarsSeries.com.

Brian Hoar Ready For ACT Opener At Lee USA

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – 4.10.13

For more information, visit motorsports.RPMEnginesVT.com

8-Time Champion, RPM Motorsports Set Sights Limited 2013 Schedule

GEORGIA, Vt. – After combining to win more races and championships than any driver and car owner tandem in the history of the ACT Late Model Tour, Brian Hoar and Rick Paya are shifting gears in 2013.

The decorated driver and owner/crew chief combination will compete part-time on the ACT Late Model Tour this season, beginning this weekend with the season-opening New Hampshire Governor's Cup 150 at Lee USA Speedway in Lee, N.H., on April 20-21.

"I just have a lot going on business-wise and personal-wise, and I've been racing a long time," said Hoar, 40, who has won the last two ACT races at Lee USA. "Life is all about balance and balancing everything between family, work and racing. My family and I are just as busy as ever. Spending so much time racing (became harder) with all of my work requirements and things I wanted to do with the family.

"I've got some other stuff I've wanted to do, and it seemed like the right time to slow it down a bit."

Hoar, of Williston, Vt., and Paya, of Georgia, Vt., teamed to win three consecutive ACT championships from 2009-2011. Each won five championships previously – Hoar with his family-owned team before he went to the old NASCAR Busch North Series and Paya with Jean-Paul Cyr driving for him. While Hoar has 37 career Tour wins, nearly twice as many as the next driver on the all-time win list, Paya has crew chiefed his way to more than 30 victories.

The RPM Motorsports No. 37 GossCars.com Dodge Charger will compete in the first four ACT events of this season. They will also run a pair of August races in Canada, both the inaugural International 500 at Airborne Speedway and the Milk Bowl at Thunder Road International Speedbowl, and two extra-distance ACT events late in the season.

They may not be chasing the championship again in 2013, but they'll both certainly be looking to add to their impressive win total. Hoar said he doesn't plan to change his approach to race day at all.

"It's a simple answer: no," Hoar said. "It doesn't change my approach at all... I know if you want to win, you still have to have the fenders on it and be there at the end. I always try to race within mine and my car's capabilities. I try to race smart to be in position to win the fight at the end. I'm not going out there saying, 'Checkers or wreckers' – what's been successful for me has been my approach."

With his win in the Governor's Cup 150 last season, Hoar became the first repeat winner in the 23-race history of ACT at Lee USA. It's a track that suits both Late Model racing, and Hoar's driving style.

He'd like to make it three in a row this weekend.

"There's not a lot of grip there, and we've got a good setup for it," Hoar said. "I've always liked the track – the style of it, the way we race and pass there.

"We've had a great race car every year I've race for Rick there at Lee. I'm really pumped. We tested last week, and the car should be really quick. I'm looking forward to it."

"The TD Bank 250 really is an event to behold. Fans will start camping out a week in advance of the race. With the list of talent we have coming growing by the day, I believe this year's race truly will be bigger and better than ever."

Momentum is already building for this year's TD Bank 250 as an exciting list of early entries build daily. The list is led by former two-time TD Bank 250 winner Ben Rowe and five-time PASS North Super Late Model champion Johnny Clark. 2012 PASS National Champion Jay Fogleman and fellow North Carolinian Brandon Ward will be joined by Georgia's Spencer Davis in making the trip north to Oxford Plains.

PASS North regulars Cassius Clark, Scott Mulkern, Matt Matheson, and Derek Ramstrom will not only be looking for a win in the prestigious TD Bank 250, but for valuable points towards the season ending championship. Likewise, Joey Doiron and Kyle Desouza will be looking for maximum points for both the PASS North and PASS National Championship.
