NEWS FROM LEN SAMMONS MOTORSPORTS PRODUCTIONS
TRENTON, NJ December 19, 2013 . . . A formerly little-known race car builder in upstate
Ransomville, New York has become the most sought after constructor of
Indoor Three quarter Midget cars based on past performance. Mark Lafler has
built no less than ten new TQ Midgets for the 2014 Len Sammons Motorsports
Productions Indoor season which consists of the NAPA KNOW HOW
Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall Races scheduled for Friday and Saturday
January 24 and 25 and the first annual Battle Of Trenton Indoor Races
presented by PRC Industries/ Angela House Charity planned for
February 7 and 8, 2014.
Fatheadz Eyewear will be returning as the series sponsor and will
pay bonuses to the top three overall TQ Midget drivers from the two
race series. Drivers will receive points based on their qualifying
efforts and feature finishes from Friday and Saturday night at both
events towards the overall series crown.
“It’s been a busy year,” understated Mark Lafler. “I’m a
one man shop but I was able to turn out a car a month. I could have
done a lot more if I was building cars full time.”
Steering new Laflers indoors for both events will be upstate New
York asphalt Modified standout Patrick Emerling, dirt and pavement
favorite Jimmy Blewett, NASCAR Sprint Cup team member and former Wall
Stadium driver Ryan Flores, multi-time Indoor TQ winner and reigning
ISMA Supermodified champion Lou Cicconi Jr., perennial TQ and full
size Midget great Matt Roselli, 358 Dirt Modified rising star Neal
Williams, DIRTcar 358 2013 Sportsman champion Erick Rudolph, veteran
TQ driver Jonathan Reid and past multi-time Indoor race winner Joey
Payne.
‘Used’ Laflers will be campaigned by asphalt Modified star Zane
Zeiner and CAN AM Outdoor 2013 TQ Midget champion Rob Neely.
Blewett will enter an additional Lafler as a backup.
The NAPA KNOW HOW Atlantic City Indoor Race Weekend will be followed
two weeks later by the first ever Battle Of Trenton presented by PRC
Industries / Angela House Charity two-day, indoor racing event at the
Sun National Bank Center in Trenton, N.J.
Both races will feature top drivers from at least ten different
States and Canada competing for the Fatheadz Eyewear TQ Midget Racing
Series overall title.
Though Lafler has the numbers, other potential favorites are relying
on other cars.
Anthony Sesely, the defending champion of the Atlantic City headline
Saturday night Gamblers Classic, is seeking a repeat win - and wins in
the Trenton events - with a new car of his own design.
Billy Pauch, a 700-time career feature race winner and past winner
indoors in Atlantic City, has entered both races, driving a car bullt
and owned by Colin Martin. Martin has other entries in the field as
well.
Canadian ISMA Supermodified standout and past champion Mike Lichty
has also filed an entry for both races in a homemade creation.
Ted Christopher, who has been the most prolific winner of Indoor
racing events since Len Sammons Motorsports Productions brought indoor
racing back to life in 2003, has built a new car for 2014 action. He
has also returned his mega-winning machine as a back-up.
Entries in the Champ Kart and Slingshot classes for NAPA KNOW HOW
Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall Races are at capacity, however they are
