PERTH, Australia (January 10, 2021) – The “Jonestown Jet” Brock Zearfoss capped his first-ever trip Down Under with a perfect score, winning back-to-back main events in a double feature program at Perth Motorplex in Perth, Australia, on Saturday, January 9. The wins, bumping his Australian total to three including a prior triumph at Ellenbrook on January 2, also solidified a Western Australia Speedweek title for Zearfoss, as well as for car owner, Sean Carren. The win at Ellenbrook was a first for the United States.
In addition to three victories, Zearfoss, who scored $5,000 and $10,000, respectively, for his Perth wins, as well as an additional $7,500 for the Speedweek championship, finished no worse than third during the six features contested during Western Australia Speedweek, opening his campaign with a third-place run at Perth on December 26, followed by a pair of runner-up performances at Perth on December 28 and Bunbury on January 1.
With a title comes prestige, as Zearfoss’ name will be added to a competitive list of prior Western Australia Speedweek champions that includes Donny Schatz, Kenny Jacobs, Jack Hewitt, and Jac Haudenschild.
“I can’t say enough about Sean Carren and the entire Goldstar Transport team. Not only were we able to communicate and show speed right out of the gate, but they treated me like one of their own and gave me an incredible experience. Sean presented me with an opportunity of a lifetime and I couldn’t be more thankful for him taking a chance on me,” Zearfoss said, who drove the Sean Carren-owned, Goldstar Transport, GKR Transport, AAA Metal Recycling, Valvoline, No. 95W sprint car during his Australian campaign. “I want to also thank Geoff Kendrick and Lynton Jeffrey for their help in bringing this deal together. My goal was to make the most of this trip and represent the United States at the highest level. To bring that goal to life is pretty surreal.”
Despite the level of success attained, Zearfoss will have little time to celebrate, as the Jonestown, Pennsylvania-native is set to begin his 2021 campaign on American soil with a stop at Screven Motor Speedway in Sylvania, Georgia, on Saturday, January 30. The Winter Freeze program featuring the All Star Circuit of Champions will award a $10,000 top prize.
Following their Georgia visit, Brock Zearfoss and Brock Zearfoss Racing will continue the new year with a trek to Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Florida, where the team will commence their rookie season with the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series. Before kicking things off with the Greatest Show On Dirt, Zearfoss will join the All Stars at Volusia on Wednesday and Thursday, February 3-4; the Outlaws will begin their season the following three evenings on February 5-7.
“The trip to Australia was a perfect momentum kick for our Outlaw season,” Zearfoss continued. “I can’t wait to get started.”
SPECIAL THANKS: Brock Zearfoss would like to thank all of his marketing partners including: Moose’s LZ Bar & Grill, Heavy Equipment, Loaders & Parts Inc., C&D Rigging Inc., BAPS Auto Paints & Supply, Meckley’s Limestone Products, Berkebile Oil Company, Klick Lewis Cars, J.P.

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (Jan. 8, 2021) – Rowdy Energy, the enhanced hydration formula energy drink created by two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch, announced today that it will partner with Pit Pay, the only mobile pit pass app for the motorsports industry, to be co-primary sponsors for two-time Chili Bowl champion Rico Abreu’s entry in this year’s Chili Bowl Nationals. The 35th annual running of the prestigious indoor event will take place Jan. 11-16 at the Tulsa Expo Raceway, a quarter-mile dirt track located inside the River Spirit Expo Center in Tulsa, Okla.
Abreu, who will once again compete for Keith Kunz Motorsports (KKM), captured back-to-back Chili Bowl titles for the Toyota powered organization in 2015 and 2016. Across 10 Chili Bowls, the 28-year-old driver has finished inside the top five in four of his eight A-Main appearances, including a fifth-place result last year.
“I’ve known Rico quite a few years now and we were texting back and forth and when the idea of sponsoring him in the Chili Bowl came up, I was interested and thought maybe Kyle (Busch) would be as well, so I reached out to him with the idea of co-sponsoring Rico to promote Pit Pay and Rowdy Energy,” said Frank Bolter, founder and owner of Pit Pay. “The Chili Bowl is an event that has a lot of eyes on it, but not only from race fans. It’s such a well-run event that track owners and promoters throughout the country are paying attention, so we felt it was a tremendous opportunity to gain exposure for our company as we look to increase the number of tracks around the country that use our mobile Pit Pay app in its second year.”
“Rico is a two-time Chili Bowl winner and one of the most popular drivers in all of dirt racing, so when Frank reached out to me about co-sponsoring his Toyota for this year’s event, I felt that it was a great opportunity for Rowdy Energy to be a part of this prestigious event with a driver that can deliver results for our brand both on and off the track,” said Kyle Busch, co-founder of Rowdy Energy.
“The Chili Bowl is one my favorite weeks of the racing season and I’m especially pumped up this year to have two new and exciting companies onboard my KKM Toyota,” Abreu said. “I feel like my style is a perfect fit for the Rowdy Energy brand and I’m confident we can help Kyle sell some product because during Chili Bowl week there will be a lot of the fans that need help staying hydrated and focused after they watch all the action in person or via the broadcast every night. The Pit Pay App makes the process of checking into tracks more efficient for grassroots racers and by increasing awareness of this technology I look forward to being able to use it at more tracks around the country this year.”
Abreu spent the majority of his 2020 season racing winged sprint cars, where he picked up two wins in the Midwest Open Wheel Association Sprint car Series, one win during Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek and one win on the All Star Circuit of Champions. He made four Indiana Midget Week starts with KKM in June, with a best finish of sixth, and earned a top five in POWRi among his limited midget schedule this year.
Every lap of the preliminary Chili Bowl action from Monday, Jan. 11 through Saturday, Jan. 16 – heat races, qualifying features, the Race of Champions and Saturday’s “alphabet soup” qualifiers – will be streamed live to FloRacing (FloRacing.com) subscribers. The Chili Bowl Nationals C-, B- and A-mains on Saturday night, Jan. 16, will continue to air live on the MAVTV Motorsports Network and LucasOilRacing.tv.

LODI, California (January 4, 2021) – It was a hard-fought week in the Sooner State for Lodi, California’s JJ Loss, and despite a few mechanical hiccups and a stout field, “The Boss” persevered and left the River Spirit Expo Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with a powerful notebook and a high dose of confidence, already looking ahead to his visit to the Grand Canyon State on January 16.
Joining over 1000 entries spanning across seven levels of micro sprint competition, Loss participated in the one and only Tulsa Shootout during the recent week, entering three of the seven divisions hosted, Winged Outlaw, Non-Wing Outlaw, and Stock Non-Wing, all while battling head-to-head with the some of the best in the business. Loss capped his first-ever Shootout campaign with a pair of C-Main starts, as well as a D-Main start where he was victorious. The D-Main win, accomplished during the second of eight Stock Non-Wing D-Main events contested during the four-day spectacle, resulted in Loss’ first victory of the 2021 season, utilizing the pole position to race his way into a Stock C-Main.
Despite all efforts, Loss’ week ended with three C-Main starts; a great performance considering the level of competition represented at the largest micro sprint race in the world.
“I can’t thank everyone enough who made our trip to the Tulsa Shootout possible, including Ryan Wilson and Shaw Motorsports. I couldn’t have done it without them. It was a great experience and I’m excited to go back,” Loss said, driver of the California Graphics Co., KPR, Competition Suspension Incorporated (CSI), Keizer Aluminum Wheels, Freedom Offroad, Bev & Norm Warner, ISC Racers Tape, Kaeding Performance, No. 67 micro. “We learned a lot and that’s most important.”
If all goes according to plan, JJ Loss will continue his 2021 season with a trip to Adobe Mountain Speedway near Phoenix, Arizona, on Saturday, January 16, set to participate in the first round of the NOW600 Cactus Region schedule. The Adobe Mountain visit will be the first of four for Loss during January and February.

PERTH, Australia (January 3, 2021) – The fourth try was definitely the charm for the “Jonestown Jet” Brock Zearfoss, finally breaking through for a first-ever Australian victory after three straight podium performances. Zearfoss, pilot of the Sean Carren-owned No. 95W during his tenure Down Under, scored his triumph during night four of Western Australia Speedweek at Ellenbrook Speedway in Bullsbrook, Australia, on Saturday, January 2, eventually leading all 30 circuits to become the first American to win at the facility; Zearfoss was the first American to ever compete at Ellenbrook.
“What an amazing feeling to be the first American to race at Ellenbrook Speedway, and to be the first American to win at Ellenbrook,” Zearfoss explained. “I am so grateful for the Carren Family. For everyone to pull together and help make this dream a reality is just unbelievable. I want to thank the Kendrick team and Lynton Jeffrey, as well. They helped put this trip together and I wouldn’t be here without their help.
“Brenton and the boys are doing an awesome job with these race cars,” Zearfoss added. “It has been a dream to drive. I’m confident our final two starts together will be just as successful as the first four.”
The Ellenbrook win, accomplished from the pole position after winning the evening’s first dash, offered a taste of sweet redemption for the Jonestown, Pennsylvania-native, as Zearfoss finished second one night prior at Bunbury Speedway after leading all but the final four circuits.
“Losing at Bunbury kinda stung, more than usual,” Zearfoss continued. “To be that close and not get it is enough to make anyone disappointed. I know how much that place means to the team, so I made it a point to get a win for them that night. We were close, but just not close enough. To come back the next day and get a win at Ellenbrook kinda made it all the better.”
With four rounds of Western Australia Speedweek complete, Zearfoss and Sean Carren own four consecutive podium finishes and currently sit on top of the Speedweek standings, finishing no worse than second since round two at Perth Motorplex on December 28. As a bonus, successful heat race and dash attempts have allowed Zearfoss to position himself on the front row for each and every Speedweek start.
Set for Wednesday, January 6, and Saturday, January 9, the final two rounds of Western Australia Speedweek will take shape at Perth Motorplex.
SPECIAL THANKS: Brock Zearfoss would like to thank all of his marketing partners including: Moose’s LZ Bar & Grill, Heavy Equipment, Loaders & Parts Inc., C&D Rigging Inc., BAPS Auto Paints & Supply, Meckley’s Limestone Products, Berkebile Oil Company, Klick Lewis Cars, J.P.

PERTH, Australia (December 28, 2020) – The “Jonestown Jet” Brock Zearfoss is having zero trouble becoming acclimated with competing Down Under for car owner Sean Carren and has already turned a pair of Western Australia Speedweek starts into back-to-back top-five finishes, kicking things off with a third-place run at Perth Motorplex in Perth, Australia, on Saturday, December 26. The former All Star, who recently committed to a full season with the Greatest Show On Dirt, started from the pole position during his first Australian feature, the result of a victory during the first of two dashes.
Perth Motorplex, certainly a staple on Australia’s west coast, hosted the first two nights of Western Australia Speedweek with the second round conducted on Monday evening, December 28. Keeping his new found rhythm intact, the Jonestown, Pennsylvania-native started from the pole position yet again and battled on for another podium run, this time improving one position from two nights prior to finish second to James McFadden. Zearfoss led early before surrendering the top spot McFadden, eventually battling back for a late race surge against the former Australia Sprint Car Champion. Zearfoss peaked his nose ahead of the Monte Motorsports No. 17 late, but McFadden powered ahead, securing the bottom groove to keep Zearfoss at bay.
“It’s been a blast down here. Perth is a tough place to figure out. The track changed a lot over the last two races, but that’s ok. We’ll be ready for when we come back after the New Year,” Brock Zearfoss said, driver of the AAA Metal Recycling, Goldstar Transport, No. 95W sprint car. “I can’t thank Sean Carren enough for this opportunity. It has been an absolute dream come true to come to Australia to race. I’m confident we have what it takes to get a win while I’m here.”
Brock Zearfoss and Sean Carren will continue their Western Australia Speedweek campaign with a pair of starts on January 1-2, this time visiting Bunbury Speedway on New Year’s Day, followed by a stop at Ellenbrook Speedway on January 2. The 2020/2021 edition of Western Australia Speedweek will conclude with another doubleheader at Perth Motorplex on January 6 and January 9.

BUTLER, Pa. (December 14, 2020) – Cullen Hutchison may be classified as a rookie, but his results are far from beginner. The Butler, Pennsylvania-native practically took the regional karting world by storm during his second, full season and amassed a head-turning 28 feature victories in 54 starts, doing so while competing in more than one class and sometimes attaining multiple victories in the same evening. Impressive enough, of Hutchison’s 54 starts, 52 resulted in top-five appearances, finishing off of the podium on a mere-nine occasions.
With a 54-race season comes travel, and travel is what Hutchison did. While maintaining regular appearances a the nearby Slippery Rock Raceway, a 25-minute skip from his Butler home, Hutchison, led by his father and former World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series crew chief, Todd Hutchison, made the tow to seven other regional facilities during his 2020 campaign, visiting New York and Ohio along the way. Tracks on Hutchison’s 2020 hit list included the aforementioned Slippery Rock Raceway, as well as Naugle Speedway in Naugle, Pennsylvania; Shaffer’s Speedway in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania; Flat Run Speedway in Morrisdale, Pennsylvania; Race-1 Motor Speedway in Dubois, Pennsylvania; Goodhope Speedway in New Springfield, Ohio; Sandusky Speedway in Sandusky, Ohio; and Stateline Speedway in Busti, New York.
Despite the frequent change in scenery, Hutchison maintained consistency and found success at every venue he visited. Naugle Speedway, a 1/8-mile bullring located just northwest of downtown Pittsburgh, is where Hutchison shined the brightest. In 13 feature starts, Hutchison found victory lane on ten occasions, seven during predator action and three during clone competition. In fact, Hutchison finished no worse than second during all of his Naugle attempts, capping the season with a predator win on September 25.
Not only was Hutchison victorious during his rounds through the tri-state, the eight-year-old earned multiple championships, highlighted with a pair at Naugle Speedway. Titles in Naugle’s Predator Kids and Rooke Clone classes were flanked by a pair of Rookie Predator championships at Shaffer’s Speedway and Slippery Rock Raceway, respectively.
Winning streaks were also frequent during Hutchison’s recent campaign. The youngster earned five victories in succession on two separate occasions, the first stretch taking shape between June 17 and July 1, and the second between July 29 and August 7.
If all goes according to plan, Cullen Hutchison will hit the ground running – fast – in 2021 with hopes of entering a minimum of 100 events across all divisions. The season will begin almost immediately following the new year, as the Western Pennsylvania karter plans to venture south of the Mason-Dixon for an early season slugout at Low Country Kartway in Aynor, South Carolina, on February 27.
