Kyle
DeMetro Enters Super Cup Race at Motordrome
The 21 year old racer from Holland
Patent, NY has signed an agreement to become the next driver of the
LaCross Motorsports driver development program for the upcoming
Super Cup Stock Car Series race at Motordrome Speedway (near
Pittsburgh, PA) on 5/10/13. Although
this will be Kyle’s first experience in an asphalt race car, he
has three years of experience in the ultra-competitive DIRTcar
Sportsman class and is also a current participant in the RACE 101
program. Kyle will be getting valuable experience in a full bodied
stock car, which is similar to the current ARCA cars that race on 2
½ mile superspeedways. He
will be supported by longtime sponsor Friends of Natural Gas NY.

First
Visit of the Year to Motordrome Speedway Next for the Super Cup
Stock Car Series
For the second
straight season, the Super Cup Stock Car Series will make two stops
to the 1/2 mile Motordrome 
Speedway in western Pennsylvania.
All of the past winners at the track, which has hosted the
series every year since 2010, are expected to be on hand in hopes of
continuing their winning ways this Friday night for the running of
the Ansel’s Tire Outlet 50 presented by MEP.
Jody Harrison leads
the stat sheet with two wins at the facility, including one last
September that also sealed the deal for a third straight series
championship. Harrison
hopes to shake off the tough luck near the end of the first race at
Shenandoah, when an altercation relegated him from contending for
the win to a seventh place finish.

Veteran
Roars to Win in Super Cup Season Opener at Shenandoah Speedway
Seventeen
drivers from seven states made the trip to “where the mountain
roars” for the season opening 100 lap Super Cup Stock Car Series
race at Shenandoah Speedway in Virginia on Saturday.
The Muncie, Indiana Crabtree family and the Don Gnatt
Motorsports team had one of the longest hauls
with an over 500 mile drive 
to
the 3/8 mile track. Although
Jim Crabtree Jr. led the most laps throughout the night, it did not
come quite easy for him to gain his first series victory since early
2008.
Three-time
defending champion Jody Harrison, whose team didn’t unload their
Motordrome winning car from September from their trailer until
Wednesday, paced practice running consistent laps in the 17.1 second
range and backed it up with the fastest qualifying time.
After a four car invert, Brian Harrison would start from the
pole in his CoalFacts.org Chevrolet with J.P. Crabtree III, Jim
Crabtree Jr. and Jody Harrison rounding out the top starters.

Super
Cup Swings into the Shenandoah Valley for Season Opener Saturday
The Super Cup Stock
Car Series embarks on its sixth full season of competition this
weekend with fast speeds and a scenic mountain backdrop at the 3/8
mile Shenandoah Speedway in Virginia.
Drivers and teams
will be chasing Jody Harrison, who comes into the 2013 season as
three-time defending champion. The
team has not made any major changes over the off-season and kept the
car in the trailer throughout the winter.
Joe Harrison Jr., Jody’s father, owner and a former NASCAR
competitor in the 1980’s commented that Shenandoah is similar to
the track that hosted the last series race, Motordrome Speedway.
The differences being that the newer Shenandoah is much
smoother and has a tighter radius in the turns. To compensate for
this, the team plans to take some gear out and add more left rear
spring in preparation for the race.

Crabtree Family Looking to Build on
Positive Results from 2012
Following
a successful 2012 return to the Super Cup Stock Car Series for
veteran driver Jim Crabtree, Jr. and a Rookie of the Year season for
J.P. Crabtree III, the Muncie, Indiana father and son duo and their
teams have high expectations going into 2013.
Jim,
who started racing at 17 years old in Mini Stocks, drove his #63 for
Don Gnatt Motorsports to no worse than a fourth place finish
throughout the 2012 season. Despite
the stellar results the team ended up ten points shy of the
championship in the end, the difference mainly due to the lack of a
victory. However, their
sights are set on the championship this year and the plan is not to
settle for anything less. He
has been winless since his second career Super Cup appearance in
2008, but has not finished outside the top five in any of his starts
since race number five of that same year.
