PITTSBURGH, PA — Get ready for some “Topless Action”; topless Late Model Sportsman racing action that is as Pittsburgh’s Pennsylvania Motor Speedway presents the third installment of the Sunoco Race Fuels Late Model Sportsman Showdown Series on Saturday, July 20th. The Diehl of Robinson Super Late Models, Precise Racing Products RUSH Pro Late Models, Miley BP Carwash Hobby Stocks and the Imperial Heights Young Guns will also be in action this Saturday evening. In addition, the off track activities will include the Third Annual Berks Hot Dogs/Nickles Bakery Hot Dog Eating Contest.
The Late Model Sportsman Showdown Series continues this Saturday with a new twist as the competitors will be removing their roofs and competing “Topless.” “The Sportsman Showdown Series has provided the Late Model Sportsman competitors in the tri-state area with the opportunity to compete in several higher paying events and we thank them for their support. We also believe that this series gives our fans the opportunity to see some of the region’s top Sportsman teams without having to travel a great distance to do so,” stated speedway owner Matt Miley.
Berks
Rusty Martz and Jeff Broniszewski have been victorious in the two Showdown events held this far and are expected to be in action this Saturday as well. Other divisional winners this season include Nick Kocuba, current points leader Brian Huchko, Bill Robertson and Vince Laboon, who scored his career first Sportsman win on July 6th; all are expected to vie for this week’s $700 first place prize money. The division will also welcome teenage Christian Schneider to Sportsman action as the Robinson Twp. hotshoe has indicated he will move up from the Hobby Stock Division this Saturday to battle the Sportsman veterans this week.
