Special Thanks To: | Finding success in Sprint Car Racing is no easy task (7-12-2008 @ 12:43 PM) Update - New Header Test The new header test will start tonight at Eagle Raceway. Below is the new header. Stop by and check it out.
Cars, Engines, Driver, Personnel, Resources, Car Owner and a Crew Chief, all paying attention to every detail and working as one. That is what it takes to run upfront and win races. Is it an easy task? By far one of the hardest things that I have ever done. I feel I have became very good at reading spark plugs and tuning sprint car fuel systems, which if I say so myself is a very hard thing to do to make a sprint car engine run at its peak without burning it up. I have been at this for sometime now, with little success. Don't get me wrong, my engines have a win at Knoxville in the 360 class but the team did not mesh like it should. Today my engines do not make the biggest horse-power number on the Dyno but my engines race very well. Ask Mark Pace and the competitors how my engines run. See what they tell you. This is the out come I moved on to Mark Pace Motorsports in the winter of 2007 to start assembling a new team with John Reifschneider (Crew Chief). John and I spent all winter assembling everything from scratch, engines, car and sending everything off that we could not do ourselves. The team has been assembled is clicking right off the start. Every night we have point raced at Eagle Raceway but one (which we ran 8th), we have finished 2nd. That First Place position keeps eluding us. I have made a decision this year not to build engines for anyone else and focus on Mark's program. This decision I think will pay off for me and everyone else I do engines for when I work on other race teams in the future. I love sprint car racing and I help people out at the track as much as possible. If your at Eagle Raceway or a track that we are at, come down to the trailer and say hi to the team. I will be hanging around that area some where. Right in that area. Thanks to everyone that has helped me in the past get to where I am today. Special thanks to the one and only, Russ Kennedy (My cousin) for all his help and passing down experience and knowledge to me. Special thanks to Jay Eckley of Eckley Racing Engines for the help that has been given to me, mostly in crunch time. Also thanks to Rick Ideus for giving me a shot in helping on his team and eventually doing engines for him. It's the experience I needed to move forward in Sprint Car Racing. © Copyright by RothASCSPower.com 2008.
