(New Castle, PA) After an extremely successful inaugural 2014 racing season, series director Shaun Hooks has been busy making plans for an even bigger year in 2015 for the Homak Penn Ohio Pro Stock Championship Series. “My goal for 2015 is to have 11 races at 11 different race tracks. I anticipate that there will be a lot of new names committing to run the series along with some new race tracks, including Dog Hollow and Thunder Mountain” stated Hooks. In its first season, the series turned a lot of heads with the participants, sponsors and fans as for the first time, the Stock Car class received some earned recognition. Additionally, Hooks was able to obtain several sponsors who added more than $15,000 in cash and prizes for the series’ races and a $10,000 point fund was split at season’s end.
Chris Schneider (Springdale, PA) earned the lion’s share of the point fund and was crowned the 2014 Series Champion. Along with the title Chris dominated the second half of the season, picking up four (4) wins, along with three (3) second place finishes and defeated Rusty Martz for the season championship. Martz, along with Chris Withers, Shaun Faucett, Shaun Hooks, Curt Bish and Jim Fosnaught carried the checkered flag at the 10 series’ events. All are expected back to compete for the 2015 crown, in fact Hooks is expecting between 25 and 30 drivers to compete for the championship! Hooks expects several new competitors including Andy Buckley, Leigh Wheeler, Terry Wheeler and Chris Haines. Based on the level of series competitors the point fund should be near $15,000!
All interested series competitors should contact Shaun Hooks at (724) 730-1623 and get registered for the season. The registration fee will again be $500.00 and will be due at signing although Hooks will allow ½ of the fee to be paid now and the other ½ prior to the first race. The 2015 schedule will be released in the near future as several tracks are still completing their schedules.
The Homak Penn Ohio Pro Stock Championship Series will feature at least 11 events located in Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania at various tracks utilizing the tracks rules and format. Registered Drivers for the series will receive points towards the year end championship and point fund nearing $15,000.
