BIGGEST 2011 NORTHEST RACE WINNERS WILL SIGN SPECIAL POSTER AT MOTORSPORTS 2012 RACE CAR AND TRADE SHOW

‘The Best of the Best’ - the most prolific winners in northeastern auto racing from 2011 - are coming to the Motorsports 2012 Race Car and Trade Show on Saturday, January 21.

Keith Rocco, Stewart Friesen, Ryan Vanasse, Jessica Miller and Gene Knaub will be part of Motorsports 2012 Presented by VP’s SEF Small Engine Fuels Race Car and Trade Show set for January 20 through January 22nd at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, PA.

The five standout drivers will meet and greet fans and sign a commemorative poster on Saturday afternoon at the Area Auto Racing News booth. Then, each will receive formal recognition with presentation of plaques and cash prizes on Saturday evening prior to the Ms. Motorsports pageant.

The three day show, January 20-21-22, covers all of the space available in the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center at Oaks and gives attendees the opportunity to see just about anything and everything imaginable in motorsports.

Keith Rocco, Wallingford, Ct., is the 2011 winningest asphalt Modified driver and, with 32 feature wins in 2011, the biggest winner overall. He will receive $200, as will the four other class winners, and a special $500 bonus plus a painting for most overall wins.

Stewart Friesen, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont., led all dirt Modified drivers in 2011 with 22 wins including his second straight Super Dirt Series win at Syracuse.

Gene Knaub, Mechanicsburg, Pa., won 19 dirt Late Model features en route to a pair of championships at Williams Grove and Lincoln Speedways to lead all other drivers in this class. Knaub also was the winningest dirt Late Model driver in 2010.

Jessica Miller, Sunbury, Pa., won 20 Micro Sprint features to lead all other drivers in that category. Jessica also became the first female division winner since Area Auto News began compiling these records.

Ryan Vanasse, East Providence, R.I., topped the charts among asphalt Late Model drivers by winning eleven times, each of them at Seekonk, Ma., Speedway.

Daryn Pittman, Indianapolis, winner of 14 open cockpit races to lead all other drivers in that category, is racing in Australia over the weekend of January 21-22 and will be unable to attend the signing and presentation ceremony.

Area Auto Racing News, a nationally distributed motorsports trade publication, will begin its 50th consecutive year of publication on January 3, 2012. The Trenton, NJ based publication will have limited run 50th Year commemorative t-shirts available at the booth when the ‘Best Of The Best’ are signing autographs and throughout the three days of the show.

A special deal on Area Auto Racing News subscriptions will also be offered.

Young ladies are reminded that there is still time to register to be part of the annual BPG Racing Ms. Motorsports Pageant set for Saturday, January 21st. The winner walks off with $1,500 and other perks plus opportunities for personal appearances representing the Motorsports show.

Tim Hogue can provide those interested with all details on the show and send a complete color brochure that outlines all show details for those wanting to be exhibitors. There are very few display spaces available at this late date.

And it is not too late for race teams to be thinking about having their race car on display at the show. Contact Tim at 609.888.3618.

The annual show, produced by Len Sammons and his staff, is considered by many to be the most successful show of its type on the East Coast.

Information on show tickets, show hours and more can be had at www.aarn.com. A complete show schedule, changing often as the show dates get closer, is also available at the show website.
