FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TNT Super Series - Back to Dunn Tire Raceway Park this Friday
24 Hour Tire Service continues to support grass-roots teams
LANCASTER, NEW YORK (August 17, 2010) The toughest 10.90 series in the northeast returns to Dunn Tire Raceway Park (DTRP) this Friday for the fifth time this year. The Joe's Transmission TNT Super Series event presented by 24 Hour Tire Service of Niagara Falls, NY will see most of the 42 points chasers in attendance - everyone looking to move up in the points and make a run at the championship.
Current points leader, Pete Maduri Jr saw his lead shrink to 67 points at last week's Cayuga double-header. And with over $3500 in the year-end champion's package, everyone is pulling out all the stops to contend for the title.
In fact, last weekend's event really shook the points chase up with Roy Lister (Welland, ON), Dave Surmatchewski (Oakland, ON) and Chris VanBaalen (Wellandport, ON) all moving into the highly coveted top ten.
TNT drivers have been doing well at the divisional level as well. Three TNT regulars - Jeff Sobczynski (Depew, NY), Jon Jablonski (West Seneca, NY) and Bill Elekes (West Seneca, NY) - all took home wins in IHRA Pro Am competition in the last few weeks.
TNT officials are very pleased to have Mike Kalin and 24 Hour Tire Service return as an event sponsor in 2010. "Mike is an excellent racer himself and his support of the grass-roots teams will help keep our sport going strong," said Ted Barnes, TNT Series Director.
24 Hour Tire Service is a small shop in Niagara Falls, NY that's been in business for 10 years. In addition to auto and light truck, they provide tires for lawn & garden equipment, trailers, motorhomes and racecars. They perform only tire work and sell just about any brand. They also do tire and tube repairs, high speed balancing, run flat tire service and ltpms (low tire pressure monitor) service. Stop in to see Mike and his team at 2365 Niagara Falls Blvd (unit 4) or give them a call at (716) 870-1945.
Gates open at 3pm this Friday August 20 at DTRP with the first round of qualifying for the Joe's Transmission TNT Super Series at 5pm. Visit www.tntsuperseries.com for more details
