Packs Racing Expands, Signs Cox to Super Cup Ride

After scoring their first victory in the Super Cup Stock Car Series last year, Packs Racing will expand to become a two-car team for the 2012 season.
 
Driver J. J. Pack will be joined by veteran Stephen Cox, who leaves a brief stint with Larry Wilcox Racing to pilot the second full-time Super Cup entry for an emerging Packs team. Cox’s primary sponsors, McGunegill Engine Performance and Boschett Timepieces, will follow him when he takes over his new ride at the April 28th season opener at Columbus Motor Speedway.
 
On paper, the new pairing makes Packs Racing one of the stronger teams in the series. J. J. Pack won the 2011 Webb’s Auto Body 100 on his way to a 7th place points finish. Cox has two road racing titles and 14 career wins on both ovals and road courses. The tandem is expected to vault Packs Racing into immediate contention in the 2012 Super Cup title chase.
 
“All of this came down pretty quickly,” Cox said of the deal that was closed last week. “This is one of the best seats in the series. The team is a consistent front runner. Packs Racing has a very secure team situation and that's vital. They’re committed to the series, they've got good equipment and they’ve got good people. I'm thankful to have the opportunity.”
 
Cox’s effort to win the Super Cup championship will require some luck and good timing, as he has a pre-existing obligation to Velocity Channel as a host of the Mecum Auto Auction. A conflict between the two could knock him out of championship contention. Neither Super Cup nor the Mecum Auction has yet released their full 2012 schedule.
 
The Super Cup Stock Car Series features 600 horsepower, 3400-lb stock cars competing on short track ovals across the east coast. The April 28th race at Columbus Motor Speedway will help kick off the historic track's 65th season of competition.

Attention Super Cup Owners/Drivers/Spotters: Raceceivers are now available to Super Cup teams

Getting information in a timely manner is important to you and your driver.  Stop the frustration of not knowing were to line up or who is the lucky dog.  When the line-up is called out everyone will hear it at the same time.  No more disputes over who goes where. No time wasted getting cars lined up.  Don't wait for the official to find you and pass the info, second hand.  Get it first, get it directly from race control.

You will know when the one to go signal is coming before it comes out giving you time to make an adjustment or get back in line for the restart.  You will know what the caution was for and where it is on the track.  You will know how long before the race goes green again.  You will know what lap has been completed and how many to go.

R H 2 is the official radio supplier to the series and has a product that will answer all these questions and more.  The information you need is available from race control.  You only need to monitor race control. Don't be left in the dark trying to figure out what's going on. Clean up knows, the wrecker operators and safety personal know.  The information is free, you just need to be on the right channel.

R H 2 has a program for Super Cup competitors that is recommended by the series.  You can use your own scanner as well.  This is not mandatory, However it is highly recommended.  The people that use Raceceivers will know what's going on all though the race.  The other option is to ask after the race is over.

R H 2 is linked to our site.

Super Cup Challenge --- A special race at a special place!

Hickory Motor Speedway  

Hickory Motor Speedway is the birthplace of many things including the Super Cup Series.

In October of 2007 an exhibition race was held at HMS.  That race turned into the Super Cup Series and the rest as we say is history.  

Another special race was held at Hickory in October of 2011.  This one had a name, The Challenge. It was won by Brian Harrison of Renick W.V.  The history of the Challenge series only has one page at this time.  There will be some new pages added in 2012.

It's only fitting that we started our new series/division at the track where Super Cup was born.  Challenge races will be held throughout the regular season following selected Super Cup events.  Drivers competing in challenge races will be awarded points towards the year end Challenge Championship.  These events will be for Super Cup drivers that haven't found their way to victory lane during the regular season.

To be eligible, drivers must enter and compete in the Super Cup event prior to the challenge race.

Brian Harrison stepped up to the challenge at HMS. Who will step up next?

Who will be the first Challenge series Champion ? Maybe Him, Maybe Her, Maybe You.
