The upcoming Motorsports Racecar and Trade Show is coming up this weekend starting on Friday, January 17th at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, PA and the Rapid Tire, USAC East Coast Sprint Car Series will be well represented at the show with multiple cars in different booths, including a three car display at our series booth!
The series booth will find a trio of racers from New Jersey featuring the cars of Bill Unglert, Christopher Allen and Craig Pellegrini Jr. Unglert was fast throughout the year until a series of back to back accidents left the team with out the necessary parts and funds to finish out the 2019 season. Allen was a winner for the very first season in 2019 grabbing the checkered flag at the Delaware International Speedway in April and having an extremely impressive season finishing third in points with the series. Pellegrini was a rookie campaigner on the series in 2019 and had growing season as one would have when moving to a new division. Pellegrini had a stronger and more consistent second half of 2019 and was the runner up in Rookie of the Year points to Connor Leoffler.
The Pioneer Pole Buildings booth will also feature the car of Yardville, New Jersey’s Jonathan Swanson and will have appearances of 2020 rookie campaigner Christian Bruno throughout the weekend.
Series regular in 2019, Eric Jennings will also have a car on display at the show in the Orange County Fair Speedway booth advertising for the upcoming series debut at the speedway as opening night of Valley Forge Inc “Mini Speedweek” in early July.
The series only female driver, Heidi Hedin will have her car on display at the A-1 Racing Products booth at the 2020 show. Finally, “Mr.Twister” Mark Bitner will have his car with its 2020 design on display at his Bitner Automotive booth as well!
There will be plenty of representation for the series and our drivers so stop by our booth and say hello, along with catching up with some of our drivers who will be making their way around the show floor this weekend. See you there!!
