CHICORA, Pa. (July 26, 2021) – Despite kicking-off the week with a frustrating outing at Lernerville Speedway, missing Silver Cup A-Main competition against the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series, Chicora, Pennsylvania’s George Hobaugh persevered and made up for his lackluster result with another impressive performance at Sharon Speedway, scoring yet another top-five result in the form of a fifth-place finish on Saturday, July 24.
Hobaugh, driver of the Hobaugh Motorsports, Krill Recycling, Laskowski Plumbing, Ridgeview Security, Hobaugh’s Auto Parts, Colliers Custom Kitchen and Bath, No. 40 sprint car, started third in the $3,000-to-win program before fading slightly to fifth.
The fifth spot has been a common denominator for Hobaugh at Sharon Speedway, finishing fifth during Ohio Sprint Speedweek competition against the All Star Circuit of Champions and finishing fifth again on June 26.
“I think we were a little disappointed with how our night at Lernerville unfolded, but to bounce back for a top-five at Sharon says a lot about our team,” Hobaugh said, a Sharon Speedway winner on May 15. “We’ve built a pretty solid program for Sharon and it’s been working really well. I think we’re more than capable of getting another win there soon.”
George Hobaugh will continue his 2021 campaign with a visit to the Port Royal Speedway “Speed Palace” on Saturday, July 31. Originally slated to be a solo $10,000-to-win showstopper, the annual Living Legends Dream Race will now feature a second $5000-to-win main event, which was added as a “thank you” to the fans and drivers for their support following the Greg Hodnett Classic rain out during Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek.” Krill Recycling, a proud supporter of Hobaugh Motorsports, helped bring the second Living Legends Dream Race main event to life.
SPECIAL THANKS: George Hobaugh and Hobaugh Motorsports would like to thank all of their marketing partners including: Krill Recycling, Laskowski Plumbing, Ridgeview Security, Hobaugh’s Auto Parts, Colliers Custom Kitchen and Bath.

JONESTOWN, Pa. (July 26, 2021) – It was a much anticipated homecoming for Jonestown, Pennsylvania’s Brock Zearfoss, as the “Jet” entered three World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series events in five days across his home state of Pennsylvania. Certainly familiar territory, the trio included a doubleheader at the famed Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg on Friday and Saturday, July 23-24.
Kicking off the week with Lernerville Speedway’s Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup on Tuesday, July 20, Zearfoss translated his trio of Pennsylvania starts into a pair of A-Main finishes, scoring a 12th-place performance in Lernerville’s $25,000-to-win Silver Cup, followed by a 16th-place score in Williams Grove’s Summer Nationals preliminary. Unfortunately, the former World of Outlaws winner at Williams Grove, and current World of Outlaws Rookie of the Year contender, missed the A-Main grid for Saturday’s $20,000-to-win Summer Nationals finale.
“That’s just the way it goes sometimes. We’re pretty excited to be spending some time at home, but we wanted to have some better outcomes in front of our home fans,” Zearfoss said, driver of the Brock Zearfoss Racing, Moose’s LZ Bar & Grill, Heavy Equipment, Loaders & Parts Inc., C&D Rigging Inc., Meckley’s Limestone Products, Berkebile Oil Company, Klick Lewis Cars, J.P. Adamsky Trucking, X-1 Race Cars, No. 3Z sprint car. “I can’t thank my team enough for their hard work this season. It’s been an up and down ride for us, and if it hasn’t been for bad luck, we would have no luck at all. We have a lot of racing ahead. We’ll do what we can to get this ‘3Z’ up front in New York.”
The World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series will return to the state of New York for the first time in three years during the coming weekend. The doubleheader takes The Greatest Show On Dirt to Ransomville Speedway on Friday, July 30, then to Weedsport Speedway on Saturday, July 31. Zearfoss will enter the Empire State swing tenth in the championship standings padded by 12 top-ten finishes.

ST. HELENA, Calif. (July 26, 2021) – It was a special weekend for Rico Abreu and Rico Abreu/Curb Agajanian Racing, not only earning three top-ten finishes during Kings Royal competition at the World’s Greatest Dirt Track, but the St. Helena, California-native had the privilege of witnessing his lifelong racing hero, and Rico Abreu Racing teammate, Jac Haudenschild start on the front row for his final Kings Royal appearance.
Aboard the iconic No. 22, resurrected specifically for his 2021 Farewell Tour, Haudenschild earned his front row starting position in Eldora’s 37th Kings Royal by way of heat race victory, scoring a win in heat race five to solidify the outside-pole. The “Wild Child” went on to finish 14th in the $175,000-to-win main event; it was Haudenchild’s only Kings Royal A-Main start of the double Kings Royal weekend.
Abreu, pilot of the Rico Abreu/Curb Agajanian Racing/Rowdy Energy/Curb Records/Lucas Oil Products/Self Made/Salty’s BBQ/No. 24 sprint car, qualified for each of the $175,000-to-win Kings Royals contested on Saturday, July 17, as well as the Jokers Wild preliminary main event that was contested on Wednesday, July 14, and the Knight Before The Kings Royal preliminary that was contested on Sunday, July 18. The former Eldora Speedway All Star Circuit of Champions winner highlighted the entire weekend with an eighth-place rally during the first of two Kings Royal A-Mains on Saturday, advancing from 16th to secure eighth at the line. Although missing the top-ten, Abreu finished 17th in the second $175,000-to-win Kings Royal later that evening.
Abreu finished seventh during the Jokers Wild main event on Wednesday, a product of row seven, and sixth during the Knight Before The Kings Royal A-Main on Sunday.
“It was a long and crazy weekend, but we wouldn’t want it any other way. To see Jac make the A-Main on Saturday evening is really, really special. He’s my racing hero and it was great to share his last Kings Royal with him,” Rico Abreu said, who owns 36 top-ten finishes in 58 attempts thus far in 2021. “Hats off to my entire team for making the Kings Royal weekend a success for everyone. I think we were aiming for some better results, but overall, it was a great experience and that’s the number one priority. We love Eldora; the fans, the atmosphere…everything about it is second to none. I’m ready to get back.”
Rico Abreu and Rico Abreu/Curb Agajanian Racing will continue their 2021 campaign with a trio of All Star Circuit of Champions starts across Missouri and Iowa. Abreu will follow the All Star campaign trail to Missouri State Fair Speedway on Thursday, July 29, followed by stops at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa, on Friday, July 30, and Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Saturday, July 31.

(July 19, 2021) – A great momentum kick heading into a three-race stint in his home state of Pennsylvania, the “Jonestown Jet” Brock Zearfoss concluded his recent stretch in the Buckeye State with a top-ten performance at Eldora Speedway, doing so with an eighth-place score in the Knight Before The Kings Royal – the day after the Kings Royal – on Sunday, July 18. The $12,000-to-win showcase was contested on Sunday afternoon after its original date, Friday, July 16, was washed away by Mother Nature.
Zearfoss, driver of the Brock Zearfoss Racing, Moose’s LZ Bar & Grill, Heavy Equipment, Loaders & Parts Inc., C&D Rigging Inc., Meckley’s Limestone Products, Berkebile Oil Company, Klick Lewis Cars, J.P. Adamsky Trucking, X-1 Race Cars, No. 3Z sprint car, commenced his top-ten performance from the inside of row seven. The five-spot rally ultimately bumped Zearfoss’ top-ten count to 12 with the Greatest Show On Dirt this season, maintaining tenth in the Series standings.
Although Zearfoss’ four prior starts did not result in top-ten outcomes, the Jonestown, Pennsylvania-native was impressive in his own right, qualifying for not only the Brad Doty Classic A-Main at Attica Raceway Park on July 13, but also the Jokers Wild feature on July 14, and each of the $175,000-to-win Kings Royals on Saturday, July 17. Zearfoss highlighted the four-race campaign with a ten-spot rally during the 38th Annual Kings Royal on Saturday afternoon, capping the 40-lapper in the 14th spot after starting 24th. The former Port Royal Speedway track champion went on to finish 22nd in the 37th Annual Kings Royal later that evening, earning an automatic bid via fastest qualifying time overall.
Each of Eldora’s Kings Royals were contested on Saturday, the 38th annual in the afternoon and the 37th annual later that evening, due to Mother Nature interfering earlier in the week.
“It was a long week, but to end things on a high note is pretty special. Anytime you can get a little boost of momentum before having the opportunity to race close to home is really important. We want to represent our fans and partners well this week, and to have a little extra confidence on our side is really important,” Brock Zearfoss said, a former World of Outlaws winner at Williams Grove Speedway. “I can’t thank my team, my family, and all of our partners enough for their dedication and support in 2021. It takes a lot of time and hard work to be a full-time Outlaw team, but with a great support network behind you, it’s all the easier.”
Brock Zearfoss and Brock Zearfoss Racing will continue their 2021 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series Rookie of the Year campaign with the Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup at Lernerville Speedway on Tuesday, July 20, followed by Williams Grove Speedway’s annual Summer Nationals on Friday and Saturday, July 23-24. The Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup will award a $25,000 top prize, while the two-day blockbuster at Williams Grove will feature two, complete programs headlined with a $20,000-to-win main event on Saturday.
