“Aussie” Champion Ready To Invade the U.S. In July
Indiana, PA (June 25, 2009) Craig Vosbergen, Perth Australia, a multi-time Australian PRO Dirt Series and track Champion opens his United States tour with his first sanctioned event with the Mid-Atlantic Championship Series on Saturday, July 4th at the Coleman Family’s Portsmouth Raceway Park, Portsmouth, Ohio for the Independence Day
“Pepsi 75”. This event provides a top quality, one day purse, with $10,000 going to the winner and $700 to start from the $47,000 total. An added perk for the event is that all drivers attempting to qualify and failing to make the A Main will receive $200.00.
“Craig, is from Western Australia, and has made several Series appearances in his multiple trips to the United States. He has competed with us at several venues including Portsmouth and is eagerly looking forward to this year’s run. In fact, I believe of all the tracks Craig has been to here, he probably has logged the most number of laps at PRP”, stated Jeff Geesey, Series Race Director. Andy Geesey, Series President commented, “Craig and his entire family are great people; and the affinity that he has built for American racing, as well as the dedication to return here often is incredible. His father Bert is quite an Australian hot shoe in his own right, but along with Craig’s son, they will be turning the wrenches this year for the team.
Craig will be piloting a collective effort with a 2008 Rocket chassis purchased from Doug Drown , as well as utilizing a Malcuit Power plant owned by DJ Miller. The car is mounted with Genesis Shocks and shod with Hoosier Tires. The Rocket will carry a black paint scheme with the #1 on the doors. Craig’s number is usually #8; however after the July tour is over, then DJ will have the reins for this rest of the season, and the number is his. Craig’s mount for the month of July will be running out of the Drown Racing in Wooster, OH.
Making yet another trip to the states possible, which is the third in four years, is a fleet of sponsor’s including: Dave Poske’s Performance Parts and Hoosier Tire – Ohio Valley; R2C – Performance Air Filters; WRISCO Aluminium; Mike Farr and Genesis Shocks; UTI – Underground Tools Inc.; Magnum Pipe; Carson Underground; Trenchless Technology; Loudonville Family Vision; The Looking Glass; DCS Fluid Solutions; and DJ Directional Services.
