Kutztown Tidbits

• The first ever official event for Kutztown’s JeffreyHogueRealtor.com Action Track USA was cut short by rain. Brian Carber won the wingless 600 micro feature while Larry Raifsnider was declared the winner of the slingshot feature, which ended under rain at lap  12.
• The SpeedSTRs made their debut as the new headline division with a star-studded roster, but did not get to run their feature. The 270cc micro sprints will also have to run their feature at a later date.
• An overflow crowd and 126 racecars filled the pit area for the event.  The brand new layout of the speedway presented somewhat of a challenge as nearly every race during the evening was plagued by numerous yellow flags.

GSP Video handle the video production for the events at Action Track USA in Kutztown this season. On Sunday afternoon the speedway held “media day”, a chance for fans, teams and the press to check out the revamped facility with limited practice select cars.

New promoters Doug Rose and Rich Tobias, Jr. purchased the facility on the grounds of Kutztown University last season and since re-named and re-configured it.

They have also secured a slew of major marketing partners including title sponsor JeffreyHogueRealtor.com.

The ambitious plans include brining in Tobias’ SpeedSTR division to headline the weekly Wednesday night racing with a slew of marquee drivers. Modified racers Craig Von Dohren, Billy Pauch and Duane Howard will join sprint car stars Fred Rahmer and Brian Monteith. The all-star field also has the commitment of the legendary Kenny Brightbill, national late model star Rick Eckert and more.

The wingless 600cc micro sprints, 270cc micro sprints and slingshots will all return for weekly competition.
