When the 28th edition of the Motorsports Race Car and Trade Show takes place at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, January 18-20, more than 200,000 square feet of just about everything imaginable in motorsports will fill the aisle ways and that includes Mahoning Valley Speedway.
The popular Lehighton quarter mile paved oval will have a strong presence in this year’s show with four cars making up its display booth.
Inside the track’s exhibit will be the championship winning Modified and Late Model of Earl Paules, Jr.
2012 was a record setter for Paules who is fittingly known as “The Hurricane” as he became the first driver to score double titles in the same season and along the way put up some amazing stats including completing every lap of every heat and feature in both classes.
Alongside the Paules mounts will be ’12 Mod point finisher Nevin George’s sharp looking No. 3 and a brand new 4-Cylinder Hobby Stock built by Wentz Auto Body of Lehighton.
A past track champion, George returned to Mahoning’s Modified ranks last season after a successful run on the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour. He was a season-long contender for the title and is sure to be a favorite once again.
The 4-Cylinder Hobby Stock division was added by promoter Floyd Santee as a true entry level affordable class. Santee has said that interest is has been very positive. Cars are being readied and calls have been steady in regards to the division.
While at the show race schedules will be ready for circulation plus drivers can sign up for their pit spots and licenses. Class rules for all weekly divisions, Modifieds, Late Models, Street Stocks, Dirt Mods, 4-Cylinder Stocks and 4-Cylinder Hobby Stocks will also be available.
Santee and members of his staff will be handy throughout the weekend to field any questions and concerns about the upcoming season which is set to begin on Saturday evening, April 13 and features a 50-lap, $2000-to-win main event for the Modifieds.
Mahoning Valley is gearing up for an energetic 28-race week season that also includes the return of the Mahoning Modified Madness Series and the season ending Octoberfast.
Mahoning Valley Speedway is located on PA route 443, two miles west of Lehighton. Additional info can be found on the track’s website at www.mahoningvalley-speedway.com Also on like us on Facebook.
