NASCAR ACE CHRISTOPHER HEADS TO NAPA AUTO PARTS WEEKEND OF RACING
IN ATLANTIC CITY ATOP FATHEADZ POINT STANDINGS
 by ERNIE SAXTON COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
ATLANTIC CITY, NJ (January 4, 2013) - With two solid Indoor race starts logged into their racing ledgers, Plainville, Ct., Three Quarter  (TQ) Midget driver Ted Christopher and Champ Kart driver Brandon Ruszcek of Walllingford, Ct. will charge into Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. for two consecutive days of high speed racing action.
The 11th running of the event known since it inception as the ‘Gamblers Classic’, run under the direction of Len Sammons Motorsports Productions, is planned for Friday and Saturday nights Feb. 1-2, 2013.
Christopher and Rusczek will face stiff competition from over 50 other racers during the NAPA Auto Parts Indoor Racing  extravanganza.
The pair  are the leading drivers in the lucrative Fathead Eyewear Indoor Racing Series point standings and each will collect a substantial paycheck if they can continue their December event pace inside  historic Boardwalk Hall.
Christopher, winner outright of the December 31 race in Providence, R.I., did so under extraordinary circumstances.
“My crew guy, Bert Marvin,  got burned pretty bad and so did I but we persevered,” said Christopher, referring to a freak pitside accident that saw his car burst into flames.
“He didn’t want to go to the hospital, he’s still here and I thank him for that.  I had to win for my guys, especially Bert.”
Christopher’s chief opposition is expected to come from Anthony Sesely, the two time reigning champion at Wall (NJ)?Stadium, who was second to ‘TC’ in Providence in the race and sits second in the Fatheadz standings.
“My car doesn’t have many races on it and every single time we’re inching a little bit more and a little bit more.  It’s a big change from what I’m used to driving,” aid Sesely.
Patrick Emerlling, Orchard Park, N.Y., third in the race and third in Fatheadz points, also expects to be in the mix.  He led most of the way in the Rhode Island race.
Cody?Sieber, Mifflintown, Pa., the Kart winner in Rhode Island, is second in Fatheadz standings to Rusczek.  Sieber’s win was the first indoors for the dirt track specialist.
“It feels great to win Indoors,” said Sieber, who races karts outside almost exclusively on dirt tracks.  “It was close out there, good hard, clean racing, said Sieber.  “It is a good feeling to get a win indoors. It gives our team a great confidence boost.”
Nearly seventy TQ teams and over forty Champ Kart racers have entered Atlantic City.
The two classes will be joined by 600cc Micro Sprints and Slingshots, two divisions that will be racing for the first time during this indoor racing season.  Both types of car have been on the Atlantic City Indoor race schedule in the past and their entry list has been full for over a month.
Overall, more than 200 teams are expected to be vying for starting berths in the four feature races.
Last year’s winners indoors in Atlantic City were Erick Rudolph, who won the Gamblers Classic TQrace and both 600cc Micro main events, Christopher, winner of the remaining TQ race, Simon Egan, winner of the Slingshot race and Chris Daley, victor in the Champ Kart main event.
All 2012 winners are among the entries for the 2013 NAPA Auto Parts Racing Weekend
Tickets for the Atlantic City events are on sale  at Ticketmaster outlets online at www.ticketmaster.com and at the Boardwalk Hall box office. Good seats still remain.
Further information can also be obtained by calling the Len Sammons Motorsports Productions administrative  offices (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) at 609-888-3618.

The North East Enduro Tour Series (NEETS) has just completed one of its most intense seasons of racing, hosting 20 events at three different speedways in two states. Crowning eight champions and sustaining a strong following was seemingly insignificant to the record setting banquet with the highest attendance ever.

This decision was not made easily; however we the promoters and officials believe the time is right. Speaking more as a friend of the drivers and less as a promoter, Erin and I have felt this coming on for the past year or so now and we feel that the best thing we can do for the series and the sport is to go out on top after the most successful season of racing.

Erin and I stepped up to take this position from Series Creator and original promoter, Billy Bartley, in the early part of 2007. Since then, we were forced to rebuild the series to be one of the best. We've ran things as 'officially' as possible while still retaining the knowledge of knowing what our decisions felt like from a driver's standpoint. Nearly all of the NEETS Officials were enduro drivers at one point or another. We always tried to focus on what was best for the drivers above what was best for us. Money was never the goal…never the reason.

We became promoters for the love of the sport and the love of the drivers. We first met through racing and we have met some of our closest friends through the series. The decision to take a break at this time has nothing to do with issues or problems with the series. We feel that it is time for us to finally do the 'family thing'.

Countless drivers and friends have come and gone to focus more on their own families and Erin and I have never had that opportunity to do so. In the course of a racing season, we would be so overstressed with racing and finances that starting a family has been nothing more than a dream. Focusing on starting a family and planning for children is impossible for us to do together when we are tied up on working two full time jobs, our typical 9-5 careers and the series. It would have only been a matter of time before something would have to give. Before it comes down to it being our marriage, we feel this is the best course of action.

Our drivers are not being thrown to the wayside as there are plenty of speedways that host enduro racing. Pennsylvania based speedways Big Diamond Speedway (Minersville) intends on hosting several enduro races after taking last season off, Mountain Speedway (Hazelton) will continue to host enduro races, and Susquehanna Speedway (York Haven) also hosts enduro events. New York based speedways Riverhead Raceway (Riverhead) and Black Rock Speedway (Dundee) both host enduro events.

As mentioned above, the series will be taking a hiatus; we have not specified a set amount of time we will be taking away from racing. This hiatus may be for only a year…it may be for more. We have left a foot in the door with Grandview Speedway for possible future events. Assistant Promoter, Kenny Rogers, is an absolute stand-up guy in our books, he has been one of the main reasons that the series has been successful these past few years and a shining example of a good businessman. He has helped the series in more ways behind the scenes than we could begin to explain. He has welcomed us to come back to racing whenever we feel that the time is right.

The NEETS website will remain active in the future. We will continue to utilize the website to advertise special events, charity events and such. We plan on stepping away from racing, however we still have intentions of hosting a few 'get-togethers' here and there to stay in contact with the numerous friends we've all made throughout this past decade.

At this time, Erin and I would like to thank everyone for their involvement with the series. Through the good times and the bad, the high car counts and the lows, the perfect warm sunny days and the sweltering heat , frigid cold and downpours, we've been through it all for and right alongside our drivers. You, the drivers, have been the ultimate reason we originally decided to become promoters, the reason we strived to keep the series alive in its darkest hour. We've stressed, sweat and bled to keep you all racing, wherever and whenever possible.

This series does not belong to us, it belongs to the drivers. If it wasn't for our drivers we would have never had a series. I cannot say it enough for everyone to understand, but the drivers are our reason for racing. We will continue to stay in contact and you will all see our faces from time to time. This is not the end and it is not goodbye…let's just say we'll see you around.

From Erin, Cindy, Eric, Jess, Josh, Gary, Pat, Ryan, Henry, Sue, Jenn, Cory and myself...from the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

RUDOLPH LOOKS TO REBOUND AT DUNKIN’ DONUTS CENTER INDOOR RACES
IN PROVIDENCE AFTER SAVAGE CRASH
 by Steve Barrick   Ernie Saxton Communications, Inc.
    PROVIDENCE, RI (December 18, 2012) - Redemption will be on the mind 
of top Three Quarter (TQ) Midget driver Erick Rudolph at the New Year’s Eve Indoor races in Providence, R.I.’s Dunkin’ Donuts Center.
 Rudolph slammed into the concrete barrier at the end of the 
straightaway on December 8 at 1st Mariner Arena in Baltimore, Md.  
Fans who missed the crash heard the concussion. That’s how terrifying the crash was that heavily damaged one of the fastest Indoor TQ Midgets. The Ransomville, N.Y, driver was bruised and confused - but not hurt.
 The Dunkin’ Donuts Center Coffee Cup race is the second of three 
events that make up the Fatheadz Eyewear Indoor Racing Series.
 The Indoor auto racing events are produced by Len Sammons Motorsports 
Productions.
 Rudolph’s car owner and constructor Mike Lafler, also of 
Ransomville, subsequently diagnosed the problem as a stuck throttle 
cable. “That will not happen again,” Lafler has assured his driver. Rudolph finished second in both Dunkin’ Donuts Center races in March of 2012 and was a winner in Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City in 2012 as well.
 Over forty TQ drivers have entered the Dunkin’ Donuts Center 
Providence Indoor race.
 Notables, in addition to the out-for-redemption Rudolph are NASCAR 
Modified past champion Ted Christopher, Plainville, Ct.; Modified 
Touring Series star and late season Seekonk Speedway race winner Rowan 
Pennick, New Egypt, N.J.; Modifed Tour and Wall Stadium sensation 
Jimmy Blewett, Howell, N.J.; SK Modified racer Glen Reen, Wilbraham, 
Ma.; Chris Allen., Jr., Old Bridge, N.J.; 2012 ARDC Midget driving 
champion Tim Buckwalter, Pottstown, Pa.; NASCAR Modified past Rookie 
Of The Year Patrick Emerling; and second and third place Baltimore TQ 
finishers Matt Janisch, Nazareth, Pa. and Ryan Smith, Kunkletown, Pa.
 The TQ Midgets will be joined in Dunkin’ Donuts Center by Champ 
Karts - caged go-karts that are slightly less fast, but much more 
nimble - than the TQs. Among the top entries is Frank Duquette.  Duquette. 28, of Fall River, Mass., races stock cars each Saturday night during race season 
at Seekonk, Mass. Speedway.
 “I enjoy racing wherever I can,’ said Duquette, who owns ten career 
feature victories over the years at Seekonk. “When my friend Jay Dimond asked me if I wanted to try Indoor racing last March with his kart, I said, ‘why not?”
 “We ran pretty well in March but have a long way to go to be in 
contention to win,” admitted Duquette.  “But I think we learned 
enough in the spring race to move up this time.”
 Another top Kart entry is D.J. Shaw of Center Conway. N.H.  Shaw will 
be looking to repeat his December 8 win in Baltmore’s 1st Mariner 
Arena.  It was Shaw’s first career Indoor victory.
 Duquette and Shaw will be challenged in their quests by past Champ 
Kart Dunkin’ Donuts Center winner Glen Meisenhelder, Feeding Hills, 
Mass.; Brandon Rusczek of Wallingford, Ct.; Daniel Gamache Jr., of 
Woonsocket, R.I.; Mike Perry of Dighton, Mass.
 The Providence race in the Dunkin‘ Donuts Center is the fifth Indoor race 
meet at that venue promoted by Sammons.  The December 31 scheduling - 
on New Years Eve - has provided race teams and their followers with a 
rare opportunity to compete against one another, then party the night 
away and herald the coming of the New Year.
 A two-race weekend finale is scheduled for February 1-2, 2013 in

NASCAR WHELEN MODIFIED TALENTS PREECE, PENNINK READY
FOR INDOOR THREE QUARTER MIDGET RACE NEW YEARS EVE IN PROVIDENCE
by Steve Barrick
PROVIDENCE, RI (December 11, 2012) - A pair of NASCAR Modified 
driving stars who have made their marks in New England racing circles are among the entries for the December 31 ‘Coffee Cup;’ Indoor auto racing program set for Dunkin’ Donuts Center in Providence, R.I.Ryan Preece, a five time career winner on the NASCAR Whelen Modified  Tour and runner-up in the 2012 Series point standings, will be a first  time entry indoors.Preece, 22, of Berlin, Ct., who also won the 2012 Thompson, Ct.  Speedway Modified track championship, has made a deal with Lou Cicconi to drive his famed No. 75 that he competed in just this past weekend in Baltimore, MD. It’s the same TQ that won both races held in 
Providence in March.The top prize to the race winner is the coveted Dunkin’ Donuts Center ‘Coffee Cup’ trophy and the lion’s share of the payoff.
The recent experience of Rowan Pennick, New Egypt, N.J., Modified standout, in the December 8 TQ Indoor race in Baltimore, Md., should prove encouraging to Preece - and Pennink.
Pennink, 27, had never driven a TQ midget and never raced indoors.  Yet the Modified talent won his heat race and was contending for the victory before tangling with the leaders.
The Dunkin’ Donuts Center Coffee Cup race is second of three events that make up the Fatheadz Eyewear Indoor Racing Series.
The Indoor auto racing events are produced by Len Sammons Motorsports Productions.
A two-race weekend finale is scheduled for February 1-2, 2013 in Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall.

Modified past Rookie Of The Year Patrick Emerling; and second and third place Baltimore TQ finishers Matt Janisch, Nazareth, Pa. and Ryan Smith, Kunkletown, Pa. Series sponsor Fatheadz is synonymous in the Midwest with open wheel racing by marketing heavily in the Sprint car and Midget ranks since it’s founding and sponsors other forms of motorsports throughout the country.The Providence race in Dunkin Donuts’ Center is the fifth Indoor race  at that venue promoted by Sammons. 
The December 31 scheduling - on  New Years Eve - has provided race teams and their followers with a rare opportunity to compete against one another, then party the night  away and herald the coming of the New Year.
The Clarion Inn in Seekonk, Mass. will serve as the host hotel for the  Providence Indoor race.
Reservations, available at a reduced nightly rate of $89.00, may be  made by calling l-508-336-7300. With making reservations, ask for the “Indoor Racing” special rate.
A gala post-race New Years’ Eve Party has been planned at the 
Clarion, with a one hour buffet featuring a carving station,

BALTIMORE TO HOST INDOOR RACING ON DEC 8 WITH THREE QUARTER MIDGETS AND CHAMP KARTS
 ‘RACING TOWN’ HOSTS INDYCAR; THERE HAVE BEEN PREVIOUS INDOOR EVENTS
 by Ernie Saxton Communications, Inc.
BALTIMORE, MD - September 28, 2012 - Indoor Auto Racing is coming to the First Mariner Center in Baltimore, Md., on Saturday, December 8, 2012.
 The event, produced by Len Sammons Motorsports Productions, will bring high speed Three Quarter Midget race cars and agile Champ Karts to the arena for the very first time.
 The Baltimore race is the first of three such Indoor races scheduled by Sammons Motorsports Productions for the winter of 2012-2013.
 Events are also planned for the Dunkin’ Donuts Center in Providence, R.I., on December 31, 2012 and at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. for two consecutive days, February 1-2, 2013.
 Auto racing is nothing new to the city of Baltimore, having hosted the IZOD IndyCar Series through its city streets for the past two years.
 “Baltimore is a great location for an Indoor race,” said event organizer Len Sammons.  “It is easily accessible from central Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey.  We expect the event to be as popular as our Atlantic City and Providence races have become in its very first year.”
 Indoor motorcycle races were held in the city at the old Baltimore Coliseum as early as the 1900s.  Indoor TQ Midget racing took place at Uline Arena in Washington, D.C. in 1950, and kart race was held in 1991 inside the nearby Timonium Fairgrounds ‘Cow Palace’.
 The First Mariner Center is near the very popular Camden Yards and is in the middle of Baltimore’s trendy Inner Harbor area, a tourist mecca with dozens of shops, restaurants and attractions.
 The addition of the Baltimore race to the previous two events provides Indoor TQ and kart racers with three major events at a time when racing used to be confined to watching videos and attending racing banquets.
 Virtually all of the top teams are expected to compete each of the three races.
The entries will be limited to 60 TQ Midgets and 42 Champ Karts.  Each class will compete against the clock in time trials that will determine starting positions in a series of qualifying heat races.
 The heat races will narrow the entries down to twenty-two starters for a 40-lap TQ Midget A-Main and a 25-lap Champ Kart feature event.
 The Saturday, December 8 time schedule calls for truck parking and unloading beginning at 8:00 am.  The first on-track activity begins with practice at 1:00 p.m. Time trials will begin at 4:15 p.m.
 Grandstand gates will swing open at 6:00 p.m. with racing starting one hour later beginning with qualifying heat races.
 Noted drivers such as Ted Christopher, Billy Pauch, Lou Cicconi Jr. and Joey Payne are expected to lead the TQ Midget entries in the inaugural event.  Plans are in the works to have a central Pennsylvania Sprint Car driver make his debut in indoor racing which will be sure to bring the fans to the edge of their seats.
 Previous Indoor Champ Kart race winner Norman Hynes of Linthicum, Md. is expected to be a fan favorite as he bids for a home state victory opportunity.
 Complete details on the event such as entry forms, race schedule, ticket prices and on sale date as well as a host hotel will be available soon.  All that information will be available at www.aarn.com or by calling 609-888-3618 as it is finalized.

1963 INDY 500 WINNER PARNELLI JONES WILL TALK ABOUT THE INDY 500 THAT GOT AWAY
AT MOTORSPORTS 2013 RACE CAR AND TRADE SHOW
 by Ernie Saxton Communications, Inc.
OAKS, PA SEPTEMBER 25, 2012 . . . Parnelli Jones won the most famous race in the world, the Indy 500 back in 1963, but he may be remembered more for the Indy 500 that he did not win. Jones, the oldest living past winner of the Indianapolis 500, will be part of the Motorsports 2013 Race Car and Trade Show, the 28th annual edition, at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, PA, January 18th thru 20th, 2013.
 “As a Matter of Fact, I AM Parnelli Jones,” is Jones’ memoir, being written with well-known writer Bones Bourcier and to be published by Coastal 181 in late fall. Both Jones and Bones will be at the show on Saturday, January 19th to do a question and answer session that will allow fans in attendance to learn more about the fantastic career of a true legend in the sport. Jones and Bourcier will also spend time meeting with fans and autographing copies of the new book, which will be available at the Coastal 181 display.
 Interesting to note that the title of the book came about as a result of being stopped by a police officer, for speeding, and being asked that obvious question, “Who do you think you are?”
 Despite the fact that Parnelli Jones won the Indianapolis 500 in 1963 driving a race car named “Ol’ Calhoun” owned by noted race car owner, race promoter and garbage collector J.C. Agajanian(he made his money with trash/garbage collection in the Los Angeles area, Jones perhaps is best known for being the driver of the Andy Granatelli owned STP turbine car that dominated the Indy 500 in 1967 only to fall out while leading with just three laps remaining because of the failure of a cheap part.
 Over the years Jones has been a winner in midgets, sprints, champ cars, sports cars, stock cars and off-road vehicles along with, of course, Indy cars. The 80-year-old retired racer and successful retail tire outlet operator is considered one of the most talented racers seen in the sport over the years.
 The show, "The Mid-Winter Motorsports Happening", covers more than 225,000 square feet of exhibit space in a first class facility located in the suburbs of Philadelphia, PA.
 Included in the popular show are speed equipment suppliers, part manufacturers, engine builders, race fuel dealers, trailer manufacturers, chassis builder, speedways, sanctioning organizations, collectibles, apparel suppliers and much more.
 The show offers attendees the opportunity to meet famous personalities in the sport, collect free autographs, attend a variety of seminars, enjoy the annual BPG Racing Ms. Motorsports Pageant and be part of other entertainment opportunities.
 Several sponsorship opportunities are available for the Motorsports 2013 and at very reasonable rates. There are many benefits included with the sponsorship of the 29th edition of the show. Packages being offered include the complete show and other opportunities. Full details can be had by contacting Ernie Saxton Communications, Inc. at 215.752.7797 or Email Ernie Saxton at esaxton144@aol.com.
 Additional details on the show will be announced as the show dates draw nearer.
 Complete information on show space that is available can be had by contacting Tim Hogue or Danny Sammons at 609.888.3618. A full color brochure is available upon request. Up to date information on show plans can be found at www.aarn.com.

 Guaranteed starters are Danny Johnson and Billy Decker (winners of special qualifying races), Kevin Hirthler (winner of the Forrest Rogers Memorial presented by Pioneer Pole Buildings), Duane Howard (2012 champion and defending champion of the 2011 BPG Racing Freedom 76) and Doug Manmiller ( who gets a spot for finishing second behind Howard in the final points and Howard already had a guaranteed starting spot). These racers will get to run at the back of a qualifying heat and then draw for a starting spot in the Freedom 76.
 Racers that have won the BPG Racing Freedom 76 since 1987 are entitled to make an attempt to qualify and if they fall short they will have a starting spot at the rear of the field in the big race.

                           TIME TO BE SEEKING SPONSORSHIP FOR 2013 AND BEYOND
HERE IS A GREAT SPECIAL OFFER FOR SPONSORSHIP NEWSLETTER AND FREE MARKETING AGREEMENT
     LANGHORNE, PA September 7, 2012 . . . For many the auto racing season is over and for others the season is quickly coming to a close. That means it is time to start looking, actually your efforts should have already been underway, for the serious sponsorship support you will most likely be needing for 2013 and beyond.
 The fortunate racers may have already secured their sponsorship for next season. Others should be busy giving the 2012 sponsors a resume of the season accomplishments, what you did for the sponsors, a framed photo of the team and the race car and a big thank you.
 The economy according to some is improving and that means securing sponsorship just may be a little easier. However even in a great economy you have to show a sponsor what you can do to gain exposure for their business and help sell their products or services.
 One of the most unique sponsors to find its way into motorsports was announced just recently when the U.S. Lawn Mower Racing Association brought the Auggiedog Power Poop Pick Up Tool on board as a sponsor. You may want to read that line again. It certainly proves that sponsorship is everywhere.
 The story of that unique sponsorship is in the most recent edition of Motorsports Sponsorship Marketing News. Now it it’s 28th year of publication the newsletter has helped many with their sponsorship efforts.
 Also in this current edition of MSMN is a story on NASCAR Sprint Cup racer Jimmie Johnson dominating the TV exposure value for his sponsors. Joyce Julius & Associates provide that information in their Sponsor’s Report article.
 Joe Gibbs Racing is suing a sponsor that has not paid. Attorney Michael K. Spotts has the second part of his very interesting article, “Race Promoters Succeed or Fail on Sponsorship”.
 Scott Pacich has “Summer Ending Bits” about sponsorship and Marcie Barlow talks about sponsorship and  “Back to School”. Long time friend Michael Knight has a very interesting front page article titled “Anyone Have a Plan to Grow the Sport?” reprinted with permission from CompetitionPlus.com.
 There is some great sponsorship success news and much more included in this issue.
 With 2012 winding down Motorsports Sponsorship Marketing News is continuing their offer of a marketing agreement (value of at least $100), our famous Hodgepodge of Sponsorship Helps and a subscription to the newsletter (one year) for the very low price of $39.95. The price will be going back, as changes are made in the newsletter,  to $59.95 shortly.
 The special offer is available by telephoning Ernie Saxton, the publisher, at 215.752.7797 or check in at www.saxtonsponsormarket.com to find the offer on the home page.
 Ernie Saxton offers his sponsorship columns in National Dragster and Late Model Racer magazine. His website offers the services and sponsorship help products he offers. He also serves as a sponsorship consultant to those having interest.
 Checks/money orders can be mailed to ESC, Inc. at 1448 Hollywood Avenue, Langhorne, PA 19047.
