JEGS is Excited to
Continue to Power all of CRA Through the 2022 Season
Salem, IN (August 4,
2020) – Champion Racing Association (CRA) Powered by JEGS officials and JEGS
have announced that JEGS is excited to continue their support of CRA through
the 2022 racing season, with an option to extend the agreement through the
2023 season. The extension agreement includes their title sponsorship of the
JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Presented by Chevrolet Performance. CRA will
continue to be known as CRA Powered by JEGS and will include the ARCA/CRA
Super Series Powered by JEGS, the Vore’s Welding CRA Late Model Sportsman
Powered by JEGS, the Van Hoy Oil CRA Street Stocks Powered by JEGS and the
Victory Custom Trailers CRA Junior Late Models Powered by JEGS. All the CRA
logos will continue to be branded with the “Powered by JEGS” through the
extension.
“We have really enjoyed
the relationship we have built with everyone at CRA over the past 10 years,”
remarked Coughlin. “CRA does a remarkable job with all five of their racing
series, they are the best at what they do, and we pride ourselves on being
the best at what we do. We look forward to continuing to build relationships
with all the competitors and fans of CRA!”
The JEGS/CRA All-Stars
Tour, the premier touring asphalt crate engine late model series in the
country, is currently competing in its tenth season since starting in 2011,
when current NASCAR Cup Series competitor Erik Jones won the inaugural
Championship. Fellow NASCAR competitor Daniel Hemric won the Championship in
2012, Cody Coughlin in 2013 and in 2016, Dan Leeck in 2014 and 2019, Car
Owner Champion Bill Burba and Driver Champion Dalton Armstrong in 2015 and
Jack Dossey III in 2017 and 2018.
The ARCA/CRA Super
Series, one of the premier Template Super Late Model Touring Series in the
country, is currently competing in its 24th season of competition, since its
first event in 1997. The Van Hoy Oil CRA Street Stocks are in their 16th
season of competition, the Vore’s Welding CRA Late Model Sportsman are in
their 15th season of competition and the Victory Custom Trailers CRA Junior
Late Models are in their second season of competition.
“JEGS has been a huge
supporter of CRA and all of short track racing,” remarked R.J. Scott,
Managing Partner with CRA. “Great sponsors like JEGS are very special for
everyone. Not only do they support the racers, but sell great parts at great
prices...a true friend of the racers.”
For more than
60 years, the name JEGS has been synonymous with high performance racing
parts, dating back to 1960 when Jeg Coughlin Sr. opened the doors of JEGS
High Performance at a small, non-descript shop in downtown Columbus, Ohio.
Little did he know at the time, but Coughlin was on the precipice of
something great. Limited by his Midwest location and unable to find the
parts he needed to produce the desired level of performance in his own hot
rods, the speed hound searched far and wide to unearth what he was looking
for -- the very best parts in the country. Dedicated legwork and ingenuity
quickly established Coughlin as the go-to guy for high performance parts in
Central Ohio, and what began simply as building and tweaking engines for
buddies soon became a full-fledged retail business.
Three decades
and counting after Coughlin's original speed shop was born, he helped his
four sons, John, Troy, Mike, and Jeg Jr., purchase the operation, and under
their collective guidance the small family business became a mail order
giant. The original 4,000 square-foot shop now encompasses a 250,000
square-foot warehouse, a chassis shop, a call center, and the original
retail store on the very grounds where it all began. A second store and two
additional call centers are also located in the metropolitan Columbus area.
In the early 2000's, JEGS took the next leap forward for the business. The
85,000 square foot warehouse was kept as a retail store, and a new 225,000
square foot warehouse and corporate headquarters were built in Delaware,
Ohio. JEGS now employs more than 350 associates yet maintains the founding
company culture of a small, family-run speed shop that continues to preserve
a one-on-one relationship with each customer.

racing parts needs, go to

Sunday’s Kil-Kare Raceway Oval Event Cancelled Due to Increased
Covid-19 Restrictions Enforcement
Salem, IN (July 30, 2020) – With the recent decisions by the Ohio
Governor regarding Covid-19 restrictions, fairs and speedways across the state
have been hit with a ban on spectator events by local health agencies. While the
Kil-Kare drag strip can go mainly unaffected because a majority of the events
are participant driven, racing on the oval is largely dependent on spectator
revenues to pay the purses to the participants. With restrictions on the number
of fans, there was no way to fulfill the financial obligations to the
participants, and thus the August 2nd event has been canceled. The Kil-Kare
oval event on Sunday was a partnership between Champion Racing Association,
Vores Compact Touring Series and Shadybowl Speedway. Officials have vowed to
work with the management of Kil-Kare to review future rescheduling options
should the Covid-19 restrictions change significantly.
More event information and information on all the CRA Series is
available at www.cra-racing.com.
Victory Custom Trailers CRA Junior
Late Models Back in Action at Kil-Kare Raceway Sunday
Salem, Indiana
(July 28, 2020):
The Victory Custom Trailers CRA Junior Late Models will continue their 2020
season with their third event of the season, this Sunday at Kil-Kare Raceway,
located just outside of Xenia, Ohio. The COVID-19 pandemic caused several
Victory Custom Trailers CRA Junior Late Models events to be postponed or
cancelled, CRA officials continue to work with track promoters in trying to
reschedule some of those events. Sunday’s event will be the first ever series
event on the 3/8’s mile track at Kil-Kare Raceway.
The Victory Custom Trailers CRA Junior
Late Models was a new racing series in 2019 to focus on a youth movement for
short track stock car racing that saw 10 to 15-year-old drivers compete amongst
themselves for both experience and recognition in full size late models with an
economical drive train and suspension alternatives. Chase Burda was the
inaugural series Champion in 2019, he has now moved up to compete with the JEGS/CRA
All-Stars Tour in 2020.
Some of the key components for the
rule package for the Victory Custom Trailers CRA Junior Late Models will be the
mandated use of the $3900 factory sealed Chevrolet Performance 602 crate engine.
Teams will also be utilizing less expensive rear ends, transmissions and springs
and spec KONI Shocks. The series will also be racing on 8-inch steel wheels and
utilizing 8-inch Hoosier Racing tires. The series will compete on 3/8 mile and
under racetracks with most events consisting of 8 lap heat races and a 25-lap
feature.
14-year-old VanDoorn Racing
Development Registered Rookie Jordon Riddick picked up the win in the series
season opener at Anderson Speedway on June 13th. It was Riddick’s first ever
late model race. 13-year-old second year series competitor Katie Hettinger got
her first series win in the series second event of the season on July 11th at
the Indianapolis Speedrome. Hettinger passed for the lead on lap four and led
the final 26 laps to get the commanding win by just over six seconds.
Hettinger comes into Sunday’s event as
the series points leader. 12-year-old Zack Wilhelm is in second, nine points
behind Hettinger. 14-year-old Evan Varney is in third place, he is one point
behind Wilhelm. Riddick is in fourth place, he is two points behind Varney.
13-year-old series rookie Nash Engdahl is in fifth place, he is three points
behind Riddick.
There is an open practice at Kil-Kare
Raceway on Thursday, July 30th pits open at 5pm, open practice will go until
dark. Pits open on Sunday at 11:30am. Practice will begin at 1pm. MPM Marketing
Qualifying will begin at 3:45pm for the Victory Custom Trailers CRA Junior Late
Models. Racing action will begin at 5pm and with a special 30-lap feature event
for the Victory Custom Trailers CRA Junior Late Models. Also racing that evening
will be the Vore’s Welding CRA late Model Sportsman with a 75 lap feature, the
Van Hoy Oil CRA Street Stocks in a 75 lap feature, the Vore’s Compact Touring
Series with a 30 lap feature and a Compact/FWD 100 lap Enduro feature capping
off the racing.

Majeski Goes Back-to Back in
the Gandrud Auto Group Dixieland 250
OFFICIAL RESULTS
Four-time ARCA Midwest Tour champion and now NASCAR Gander
Outdoors Truck Series rookie Ty Majeski returned to Wisconsin and defended
his Gandrud Auto Group 250 victory in front of a large crowd on Tuesday
night at Wisconsin International Raceway in Buchanan, Wisconsin.
The Seymour, Wisconsin native drove his famous #91 to his
second straight victory by holding off former NASCAR Canadian Tour Champion
Cayden Lapcevich by 1.283 seconds.
Paul Shafer Jr. came back for another podium finish to round
out the top three. Austin Nason and defending ARCA Midwest Tour Champion
Casey Johnson rounded out the top five.
Defending NASCAR Cup Series Champion Kyle Busch finished
sixth as he had a spirited battle with Johnson in the closing laps of the
race.
Majeski, who was also the fast qualifier, started 13th after
the invert for the main event. It only took him 45 laps before put his car
at the top of the leaderboard. He would give up the lead on lap 68 for a pit
stop and regain the top spot on a restart on lap 101.
He would continue to lead until a caution flew on lap 154 for
a multi-car spin in turn four. He would come down to pit road along with all
but four cars for the a final controlled pit stop and make a final
adjustment for the run to the checkered flag.
It was on a restart on lap 205, when Majeski would battle the
lead away from Shafer and hold him off again on a final restart on lap 214
to drive away to his second straight victory in the prestigious event that
paid $10,000 to the winner.
“Everything went basically to plan,” Majeski said in victory
lane. “We caught the cautions at the right times. We had a game plan going
into the race and didn’t have to use much of the race car coming up through
the field.”
Lapcevich was very satisfied with his second place run.
“We got a good group of guys here. We got good equipment and
we had everything we needed to run good,” Lapcevich said. “I struggled to
put runs together lately, and I think we did everything right here tonight.
We maintained our track position, and it was really tough to pass, so that
was big.”
Shafer was hoping to have something for Majeski. Even though
he finished third, he was satisfied with his podium finish.
“Anytime I get a chance to be next to the 91 or start
alongside him on the front row, I’m going to make it happen. I am going to
give it hell and see what happens,” Shafer exclaimed. “We have run third
three times here, and here we are again. We want to win, but third is not
that bad.”
Larry Detjens Memorial winner Justin Mondeik rebounded from
an earlier spin to finish seventh with Redbud 400 winner Carson Hocevar
finishing eighth.
Former Dixieland 250 winner Dennis Prunty was ninth, and
Maxwell Schultz finished 10th.
Schultz also won the last chance race.
The ARCA Midwest Tour will be back in action on Saturday,
August 22nd for the rescheduled Wayne Carter Classic presented by Rod Baker
Ford and Illinois Truck & Equipment on Saturday, August 22nd.
