2010 TRACK CHAMPION TO RETURN TO WEEKLY ACTION AT BIG DIAMOND IN 2012
Doug Manmiller Joins Scheaffer's Harley Davidson T-102 Team
Doug Manmiller has been named as the driver of the Modified of the Schaeffer's Harley Davidson T-102 Racing Team for the 2012 season. Manmiller was the 2010 Big Diamond Track Champion while piloting the Biever #14 at the Schuylkill County speed plant. When Shawn Fitzpatrick suffered an injury to his arm during the 2011 season opener, Manmiller took over the driving chores while Fitzpatrick was on the mend, picking up a feature win in his second week of competition.
Tim Fitzpatrick will continue to command the team's Sportsman entry at Big Diamond. Despite missing multiple events for family commitments,Tim was a two-time feature winner in 2011 and finished 8th in points in the competitive Sportsman Division.
Tim Rutheford has been named as the crew chief on the Schaeffer's Harley Davidson T-102 entries since both Manmiller and Fitzpatrick plan to compete in all Big Diamond point shows this season. Manmiller will field a Bicknell chassis for the 2012 season while Fitzpatrick will have a TEO mount to wheel in the Sportsman Division.
Fans will have the opportunity to meet the Schaeffer's Harley Davidson T-102 Drivers at the Big Diamond 2012 Race Car Show at the Fair Lane Village Mall. Both cars will be on display from March 5 - 10 with both Manmiller and Fitzpatrick participating in driver interviews on Friday night, March 9th.
Gary Shiley of Shiley's Fabrication prepared three cars for the Schaeffer's Harley Davidson T-102 team during the winter months. Final preparation is being completed in the Fitzpatrick race shop with the support of sponsors Schaeffer's Harley Davidson, The Beer Shak, Bawls Energy Drink, Ken's Tire, Jack Rich Incorporated, Shiley Fabrication, T-102 FM, Womelsdorf Beverage, Dr. Joseph Chipriano, Antonini Radiator and Sleazy Lettering who have designed and prepared the "look" of the T-102 cars this season.
