Myerstown PA, February 1st, 2010:  Langhorne, PA teenager Kyle Hieber has had his share of misfortune during his relatively short indoor racing career, but in Saturday nights Herr's Snack Bowl 25 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, driving ability overshadowed luck. The Bucks County International # 66 set the pace from the initial green for the Herr's Snack Bowl 25 and after withstanding a few early challenges from Shannon Smith and Anthony Perrego, Kyle just had to concentrate on holding his lines into the turns and making sure the Hieber Family wrenched Slingshot ran to perfection.

 

After 10 laps Kyle had a new driver to deal with as brother Gary was now his on his right flank and with every passing lap, the 2 were inseparable giving the fans that braved the elements something to get warmed up about. The outside line on restarts proved to be Gary's downfall and he drifted back a few spots but still within challenging distance. With all 25 entries locked into the Herr's Snack Bowl 25 the run from the back to the front looked highly improbable but an early race tangle found that some of the quicker cars that headed to the rear knew the secrets in getting around the tacky 1/10th mile and were serious challengers during the late stages of the race.

 

A caution near halfway saw Mike Glass, Shannon Smith, Todd Dippel and Gary Hieber heading to the rear of the field, but all of these drivers would make an impact in the remaining 12 laps. Tiffany Wambold used some low side racing to put herself into the top 3 and become a contender to watch out for but a midrace yellow forced the Wambold Doors # 81 pit side and left the door open for a high flying Ben Whitaker in the black 13X. Whitaker was surgeon like in picking apart upcoming traffic and after starting 25th he was now on the rear bumper of Hieber with 5 to go and the Bob Gibb 31 with Jim Housworth at the wheel also was entering the picture.

 

The freight train led by Gary Hieber again remerged onto the scene as the talented Brandon Azzalina tried to ward off all advances, but it was to no avail as yellow would be thrown one more time for Molly Chambers' wild ride into the turn 1 barriers. Molly climbed out of her # 51B uninjured and the last restart was run single file with Whitaker and Housworth running out of time in their quest for the Herr's Snack Bowl 25 trophy.

 

Kyle's Friday night heat win spilled over into the 25 lap A Main and his success at running up front continued to the checkers with his first ever Herr's Snack Bowl 25 win and a chance to savor some of the Herr's goodies that was placed inside his trophy. Kyle thanked his crew, the fans who braved 7.5 inches of snow and Herr's for their sponsorship of the Atlantic City Indoor Classic. Kyle's use of the Gambler's Classic Bonus which is an added entry, not mandatory, added to the winner's purse netting him an extra $1000 and a final payoff of $1500.

 

The finish was only tentative as the post race inspection found second place finisher Ben Whitaker's 13X not conforming to the Slingshot Rule Book and was placed at the rear of the field.

 

Herr's Snack Bowl 25 Finish:

1. Kyle Hieber # 66  2. Jim Housworth # 31  3. Gary Hieber # 56  4. Todd Dippel # 37  5. Shannon Smith # 23  6. Michael Glass # 2  7. Brandon Azzalina # 43  8. Chris Grbac # 22  9. Matt Hearn # 551 10. Stan Friedman # 7J  11. Matt Carman # $  12. Anthony Perrego # 1X  13. Molly Chambers # 51B 14. Kurt Bettler # 7L  15. Jesse Hartman # 5S  16. Tim Manieri # CC5  17. Tiffany Wambold # 81  18. Paul Lotier,Jr # 7  19. Clay Butler # 4  20. Ricky Yetter # 20  21. Bobby Dmuchowski # 30  22. Marc Daniels # 1  23. Brandon Mullins # 22X  24. Joel Smith # 142  25. Ben Whitaker # 13X

 

The Herr's Snack items were a popular treat for the garage area personnel as well as the incoming fans who got a chance to experience the great products Herr's has to offer during Fan Fest. Speedway Entertainment founder Rich Tobias used real Slingshots to hurl the snack bags into an audience that was awaiting the tasty treats with track officials all having the luxury of a good snack to enjoy while performing their racing duties. Special thank you go to Ray Nemeth, Jr., Ray Nemeth, Sr., Joe Nemeth, Bill Weaver and Herr's for their sponsorship and help in distributing the goodies to everyone involved with the Atlantic City Boardwalk Classic.

 

 

 

 SPEEDSTR SERIES KICKS OFF 2010 AT MOTORSPORTS 2010

PRESS RELEASE BY BRETT DEYO

 

Speedway Entertainment provided everyone who

attended the 2010 Motorsports Show with an

impressive display of their race equipment,

 like the upright SpeedSTR frame above.

 

Myerstown PA, February 1st, 2010:  Rich Tobias Jr. has been known to think outside the box. Case in point: the Speedway Entertainment display during Motorsports 2010 presented by VP's Street Blaze 100 at the Oaks, Pa., Greater Philadelphia Convention Center Jan. 22-24.

 

Tobias stood a SpeedSTR Midget vertically in the air to represent the growth of the SpeedSTR Series. "It was a great show for us," said Tobias. "The Sammons family and their staff did a great job. We had so much traffic at our booth with race teams from all forms of racing inquiring about the series." The display included the flat-black SpeedSTR to be driven by Curt Weller, the Radical Design Group-lettered Steven Hicks SpeedSTR and a familiar No. 51 with a well-known last name. Young Freddie Rahmer Jr., son of the 410 Sprint Car icon Fred Rahmer, will move into the SpeedSTR ranks this summer.

 

Tobias feels the SpeedSTR concept is beginning to catch on throughout the region. "We had youngsters looking to move up and veterans from other divisions such as Legends, Modifieds, ARDC, Micros, etc.  just looking for somewhere that is affordable to race," Tobias said. "We were so glad that racers actually get what I am trying to achieve here. I am not here to just start another division. I am here to provide a product where the racer can afford to race, have what every other team has, and still get paid a fair purse."


The SpeedSTR 2010 schedule was distributed at Motorsports and includes well-known tracks such as Grandview (Pa.) Speedway, New Egypt (N.J.) Speedway, Lincoln (Pa.) Speedway, Shangri-La II (N.Y.) Speedway, Selinsgrove (Pa.) Speedway and Oswego (N.Y.) Speedway. A new 'Home Track Series' allows racers to challenge for a point championship without extensive travel. The 2010 SpeedSTR season is scheduled to kick off on Sunday afternoon, April 11 at Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville, Pa.

 

Speedway Entertainment will have a presence at the upcoming 25th annual Racing Legends Reunion & Car Show presented by Reading Eagle & WEEU 830 AM at the Fairgrounds Square Mall (Reading, Pa.) Feb. 21-27. Tobias will speak to the crowd Monday night, Feb. 22 during the show's 'Open Wheel Night' at 7 p.m.
