Jonestown, PA – Jim Bernheisel, President of Bernheisel Race Components, announced a local track sponsorship program that will provide over $60,000 in awards, parts, and cash to the late models, limited late models and econo late models at five area speedways in late February.

Well that program has grown further as now Path Valley Speedway in Spring Run, PA, and the Appalachian Mountain Late Model Speedweek will receive benefits for the BRC sponsorship.

At Path Valley on the fast quarter mile oval, the late models will name a weekly hard luck award with a BRC gift certificate provide to the award recipient to ease the racer’s frustrations. Likewise non-qualifiers in the Appalachian Mountain Speedweek events will receive BRC gift certificates. Speedweek events this year run from May 29 through June 6 at the speedways at Bedford (29^th), Port Royal (30^th), Path Valley (31^st), Cumberland (4^th), Roaring Knob (5^th), and Hagerstown (6^th).

“We have nothing against the touring series late model racing,” commented Jim Bernheisel, “but this is geared to help the local racers and encourage local drivers to support their local tracks. Local racing is the backbone of our sport and we are a local company supporting local racers with this program. Our support of the Appalachain Mountain Speedweek is a further example of our desire to support the growth of interest in late model racing locally.”

BERNHEISEL HOSTS POSITIVE MEETING FOR GRANDVIEW LATE MODEL TEAMS

Jonestown, PA – Bernheisel Race Cars hosted a meeting on April 23^rd at their Jonestown, PA facility to give the Grandview Speedway late model teams an opportunity to discuss what they can do to work together to improve the long term viability and security of the division at the Bechtelsville oval.

The discussion, moderated by Jim Bernheisel, focused on the struggles of auto racing today, both on a national and local level, and what Grandview racers can do to their world’s sphere of influence. Over 20 late model racing participants at Grandview were in attendance and shared their thoughts and ideas on what they can do to improve their racing product.

Much of the conversation focused on respect…. respect of drivers for their fellow racers on track was at the top of the list. Racing with more of a ‘give and take’ attitude where competitiveness of a specific event allows. Ultimately being easier on equipment while also providing a better show for the fans. Further, a desire to allow for more camaraderie between drivers and teams to help one another and build a sense of belonging. The understanding that helping less experienced drivers and teams learn from their mistakes, rather than just criticizing, will help everyone in the long run.

“This was really a great good of guys and gals,” shared Bernheisel. “They all are sincerely interested in trying to do a better job and they were very appreciative of the opportunity we provided for them to sit down and speak openly about their racing. They were also very appreciative of our involvement in all of this and the fact that BRC’s support for the division is not just to build our business as much as it is our very honest interest in helping the sport due to our love of the sport. “

Another discussion by the competitors revolved around how their actions portray their sport. The need to be cautious of what they might say in the heat of the moment or on social media, web sites and message boards as well as being more positive about their fellow racers and the race tracks they compete on was discussed. Too often things exchanged in the heat of the moment, at the track or online, do nothing positive regarding change and actually negatively impact the communication process and provide a negative impression to others.

Examples shared of positive things already being done included teams taking time from their preparation of their cars during the week to help a new guy set-up his car, a team giving tires to an outsider from another track to come race at Grandview, drivers giving time to participate in radio shows and things like pre-race fan appreciation activities and a team being involved providing bicycles to be given to lucky young fans at the track.

“The group is really committed to making things better,” commented Bernheisel. “They want to make late model racing at Grandview succeed and see it grow! Many are already stepping up and doing positive things and others are committed to do what they can to help. This is indicative of why we want to be involved with local tracks and local racers.”
