LIAS TIRE / AMERICAN RACER ANNOUNCE ITS WITHDRAWAL OF PARTICIPATION FROM THE RENEGADES OF DIRT MODIFIED SERIES AFTER 2015.

            We at Lias Tire Racing Division in Indiana, PA and Coshocton, OH would like to thank all of the teams and tracks that have supported both Lias Tire, American Racer, and the Renegades of Dirt Modified Series since its transition from the Tri State Modified Association to the present. We have been pleased to have the opportunity to work with teams and tracks from up and down the eastern seaboard over the last few years and enjoyed many successful seasons.

            However due to some circumstances arising after the conclusion of the 2015 race season we are announcing that this will have been our final year of participation with the Renegades of the Dirt Modified Series and we will no longer be providing tires for the series. Drivers who are to receive point fund monies will be receiving the Lias Tire/ American Racer contribution of the point fund directly from Lias Tire in the coming weeks. That contribution equals 78 percent of the total amount advertised by the series. The remaining percentage is to come from the series.

            We look forward to working with everyone again in the future across other venues in the area. Again we thank you for all your support over the last few seasons.

JOE MARTIN FINISHES CAREER SEASON AS 2015 CRATE AMERICAN RACER SERIES CHAMPION! MARTIN, WRIGHT, AND BLAZAVICH FINISH AS HOME TRACK CHAMPIONS!


9/8/15
(Indiana, PA) As summer came to a close this past weekend so did the first season of the Crate American Racer Series.  After all the points were tallied we officially announce the driver of the #55, Joe Martin as the series first $5,000 champion and the Dog Hollow Speedway champion! Racking up an impressive 12 top 3s and 9 wins this summer was enough to lift him past Chad Wright who picked up the championship at Raceway 7 ending the season with 11 top 3s and 9 wins. Joe also won 3 races at Marion Center Speedway, currently making him the CARS All Time Win leader capturing a total of 12 feature events.

Third and fourth place went to a pair of long time Dog Hollow drivers Andrew Satterlee and Mike Laughard. These two battled all season with Martin winning a combined 8 races at the track. Andrew finished the season with an impressive seven 2nd place finishes and three wins. Laughard found himself in victory lane five times and with five 3rd place finishes to go with it he found himself 3 points out of 3rd place.

Raceway 7 regulars Dennis Lunger Jr. and 2014 track champion Kyle Zimmerman held down the 5th and 6th place finishes. Lunger had three wins and four 2nd place finishes on the season. Zimmerman only picked up one win in 2015 but used the consistency of 12 top 5 finishes to end up 6th in the overall standings.

In 7th place was Dave Blazavich a super late regular who was not to be tested in his first year behind the wheel of a crate late. Winning three races this season Dave also picked up the Marion Center Speedway Championship in the familiar 18B his rookie season.

Rounding out the top ten was Billy Henry Jr., a Raceway 7 regular, Wendell Pickney, and Corey Neal. Wendell was the only driver from Raceway 7 who took advantage of Marion Center Speedway racing Saturday night and each week made the long tow down from Conneaut, OH. Pickney had one win on the season at MCS. 

All track champions will receive four fresh American Racer Crate tires courtesy of Lias Tire Racing Division in Indiana, PA. Also product awards will be given out at The Ultimate Challenge Crate Race at Dog Hollow Speedway Saturday Sept. 26.

This caps off an incredible first season for the CARS program and one that we look to build from into the future. We again want to thank the tracks, drivers, crews, and fans for supporting us in our first season. Also special thanks go out to our sponsors: Lias Tire Racing Division/ American Racer Tire, Schoenfeld Headers, Genesis Shocks, Integra Shocks, Dirt Defender Wheel Covers, Performance Bodies, Bernheisel Race Components.

Crate American Racer Series

8/25/2015 Update

With only two weeks left in the inaugural season of the Crate American Racer Series (CARS) the point battle throughout the top 10 is going to be a fight to the end. With major changes coming once each drivers 12 best finishes are selected and car count bonuses are added these last few events are extremely important to see who is going to be crowned as the 2015 CARS Overall Champion and take home a cool $5,000! This first season has been a great success with 47 registered drivers and dozens of others who competed at Raceway 7, Dog Hollow Speedway, and Marion Center Speedway throughout this season with 10 different winners!.

Our home track championship race has been all but a runaway at Raceway 7 and Dog Hollow Speedway with Chad Wright racking up an impressive 9 wins so far this season and Joe Martin picking up 8 wins. However at Marion Center Speedway it has been a great battle all season between Dave Blazavich and Wendell Pickney and will come down to this weekend's final event to determine our home track champion!

We'd also like to announce the upcoming "Ultimate Challenge" Crate Special to be held later this fall at Dog Hollow Speedway! This event is being put together by Dog Hollow Speedway promoter, Dan Savino after seeing the success of the CARS program at his track this season. Dan said this event is a chance to see who can lay claim to being the top crate racer in the region and a rare oppurtunity for drivers from all 3 crate series in the northeast to compete together at one venue. More details will be announced in the coming weeks but this race will pay at least $1,200 to win!

Our first season would not be possible without the support of our drivers, track promoters, and sponsors. Our 2015 season sponsors include: Lias Tire Racing Division, American Racer Tires, Genesis Shocks, Integra Shocks, Bernheisel Racecars/ Lazer Chassis, Schoenfeld Headers, Dirt Defender, Performance Bodies, and Sunoco Race Fuels.
