Sunnyvale, Texas-It is becoming more and more common to find World of Outlaws calibre drivers teaming up with Pennsylvania based sprint car teams and this weekend at The World Finals in Charlotte, NC the trend will continue as Sam Hafertepe Jr and The Pancho’s Racing Products team have formed an alliance that they hope will take them to victory lane.

“When we raced at The National Open we were approached by Tab Lawler about possibly driving The Pancho’s Racing Products #93 at Lowe’s”, explained Sam. “We talked throughout most of the evening and this seemed like an opportunity for success”.

Sam and The Plumbfast Racing Team headed to The Pancho’s Racing Products shop in New Oxford, PA following The National Open and a partnership was struck.

“We looked over and measured up the car and it turned out that they prepare a car very similar to how we do”, said Sam. “I had my guys take my seat out of the car that day and leave it with them”.

Since that time the team of Duane “Pancho” Lawler, Tab Lawler and Mike Hileman have been working tirelessly to prepare not only a brand new primary car, but a brand new back up car as well.

Sam also kept busy with some strong runs in a 360 in his home state of Texas but most impressive was his performance 2 weeks ago against The World of Outlaws at Lone Star Speedway, his home track where he tied his career best World of Outlaws finish with a 2nd place finish.

“We’re coming in to Lowe’s with a lot of momentum right now”, said Sam. “We’ve been really fast for the last few months and I really think we can keep it up and have an impressive performance for Pancho and the guys at Lowe’s”.

Sam’s weekend will begin at Lowe’s Motor Speedway Thursday night as they will take part in practice and qualifications. The following evening will be a complete racing program followed by Saturday night’s finale which will be broadcast live on SpeedTV at 8pm.

The combination will utilize a Don Ott Racing Engine, a J&J chassis, Weld Wheels, ButlerBuilt seats, Simpson Seat Belts, Hoosier Racing Tires and HRP wings.
