Inside Line Promotions - PHILO, Ill. (March 17, 2020) - Kyle Schuett is pleased to announce the return of Health Alliance Medical Plans, Inc. as the primary sponsor of Schuett Racing in 2020.

"We're very happy to have Health Alliance back again as a partner this year," the 410ci winged sprint car driver said. "This will be their fifth year with us. They've been a tremendous supporter of Schuett Racing."

Health Alliance Medical Plans, Inc., is headquartered in Champaign, Ill., and has been in the business for 40 years. It provides and administers member-focused health plans in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio and Washington, with more than 700 employees serving more than 230,000 members and counting.

Health Alliance offers a wide range of healthcare plan options, from fully insured, large and small employer group coverage and association plans to individual direct and short-term plans. It also provides self-funded employer group plan administration, stop-loss coverage for self-funded group health plans and individual Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans.

"We do our best to be good representatives of Health Alliance at the track," Schuett said. "We also showcase our race cars and do a meet-and-greet with employees at their corporate office each year during their Employee Appreciation Day. I think we have given away approximately 1,000 t-shirts to employees along with other merchandise."

Health Alliance is ranked No. 1 by J.D. Power in member satisfaction among commercial health plans in the Illinois/Indiana region for three years in a row (2017-19).

"It's easy to represent a sponsor when they are at the top of their field and you have a good relationship," Schuett said. "It's really neat when people visit our pit and say they are insured through Health Alliance. We often hear they are excited to see Health Alliance as a part of the racing community and we're honored to be a part of that connection."

Auto racing has provided Health Alliance with exposure to a unique demographic.

Inside Line Promotions - NORTH PORT, Fla. (March 16, 2020) - Danny Sams III has a 35-hour roundtrip trek on tap for his next event.

The Sams LaMountain Racing driver is planning on traveling from Florida to Devil's Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, Texas, for the 47th annual Spring Nationals this Friday and Saturday.

While the trip is long, it is exciting as the unique half-mile track is one where the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour Rookie of the Year contender has laps. Sams III finished 16th during his debut before hustling from 21st to 12th on Night 2 last year.

BRODY ROA ANXIOUS TO GET BACK ON TRACK AT PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY

(Perris, CA, March 22, 2020) In the summer of 1977, Rita Coolidge had a hit song titled “Your Love Has Lifted Me Higher.”  One of the lines in the song went, “Now once I was downhearted, disappointment was my closest friend.”  Many racers in Southern California are downhearted and it is safe to say that disappointment is not their closest friend right now due to the coronavirus.  One of them is Garden Grove, California racing star Brody Roa and he cannot wait till it is time to get back on the track.

The Amsoil USAC/CRA and World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars were slated to open Perris Auto Speedway’s historic 25th sprint car season this Saturday night.  But, at 7:00 P.M. when the first green flag was slated to fly, there will be no cars on the track, no cheering fans, no tempting aroma of the track’s barbeque wafting through the grandstands and the bright track lights will be turned off due to the coronavirus.

For Roa, the disappointment of the empty night is huge.  Not only the fact that it is a race that has been postponed, but also for the point that he would be coming into the event ranked second in the USAC/CRA championship standings.  That would make him the highest placed of the series regulars. 

“It is a huge letdown,” Roa said from his home on Sunday afternoon.  “We always look forward to the beginning of the year.  Instead, we will be home staring at the tv or whatever.  It is pretty frustrating as we should be down at the shop loading up the trailer right now, but we are all sitting at home or walking our dogs.”

Earlier this month, Roa drove his famous #91R to third and fourth-place finishes at the season-opening weekend in the “Spring Showcase” at Arizona’s Canyon Speedway Park.  The team was back in the shop doing the normal maintenance after that race.  During this unplanned delay, they have been back in the shop going over things again.  They are more than ready to roll past the Kevin Winter’s green flag at Perris Auto Speedway on April 25th if the race takes place.

While some dates may be canceled, Roa, who won the 2019 USAC Southwest Series championship, says he may venture off and drive for some other owners in other series when his schedule permits.  However, the #91R will be confined to the USAC/CRA Series.

“Keeping the #91R confined to CRA  will kind of help our program at the end of the year,” Roa stated.  “We will not have worn out all of our funds, energy and equipment.  We seem to start the seasons off so well.  For the first 12 races or so we are pretty strong.  But, because we have been running so much the past few years, the maintenance time has not been there.”

One of the surprises at the first two races in Arizona was Roa qualifying third fastest on both nights.  In the past, if there has been a chink in his armor, it has been qualifying. 

“I wish I could tell you,” the 29-year-old laughed when asked how he qualified so good in the Copper State.  “I don’t know!  I have not been able to figure out how I qualified that well.  Hopefully, when we get going again, I can do it again and pinpoint what it was.  Qualifying obviously has not been my strong point over the last 10-years or even going back to my years in go-kart racing.”

While there is some downtime in racing presently, Roa and his wife Tailor have stayed occupied. 

“I am still going to work so that keeps me busy Monday through Friday,” Roa stated.  “Our new lab puppy is loving it.  We go on a lot of walks now and have been taking her to training classes where she was made an example of (not doing what she should have been doing).  She is definitely a hyper lab puppy.  She is a decent listener right now.  Hopefully, that gets better.”

The longtime racer looks forward to when he can get back on the track and he hopes it is as soon as possible at Perris Auto Speedway.

“I hope to be back on the track on April 25th at the Perris race,” the longtime racer said.  “Obviously we are not going to be there this Saturday, but our plan is to be there for the opener next month or whenever it happens.”

Like Roa, his fellow competitors and all the fans, cars will be on the track soon and life as we know it will return to as close to normal as possible.

Moorespeed’s High-Performance Street-Car Operations Open for Business in Austin 

- Expanded Street-Car Services Include Antibacterial Sanitizing, “Deep-Clean” Detailing and “No-Contact” Pickup and Delivery
- Moorespeed Shop Sanitized to Prescribed Precautions and Personnel Following all Recommended Novel Coronavirus Preventive Measures

AUSTIN, Texas (March 18, 2020) – Moorespeed, the winning sports car racing team and top high-performance street-car shop in Austin, is open for business and offers an expanded line of street-car services, including antibacterial sanitization and free “no-contact” pick-up and delivery of all customer vehicles.
 
“All of us are in a global situation unlike anything we have experienced in our lifetimes,” said Moorespeed President David Moore. “The health and well-being of all Americans, and our friends around the world, is the number one priority, but we also need do what we safely can to keep our U.S. economy afloat. We are a small business that has already taken a hard hit like so many others, but our intention is to stay open as long as possible.”

Moorespeed has retained 100% of its experienced and certified street-car staff and, in addition to the usual lineup of standard vehicle services, is offering an expanded and fortified program of automobile antibacterial sanitizing, deep-clean detailing and no-contact pickup and delivery of all customer cars.

“Our first order of business was to make sure our shop was up to all prescribed standards and cleaned as thoroughly as possible,” Moore said. “As an automotive repair and race shop, we already have some fairly stringent guidelines to follow as far as personnel hygiene and safety, parts cleaning and waste disposal. We have enhanced these standard precautions with hand sanitizer, antibacterial soap and an endless supply of one-and-done hand towels.”

In business for over 25 years, Moorespeed can service any vehicle but specializes in servicing European and exotic automobiles. In addition to racing Porsches in the IMSA Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge USA by Yokohama, a long list of Porsche street-car owners trust only Moorespeed for their routine and specialized maintenance.

Moorespeed is also a trusted service provider to the majority of Ferrari road car owners in Central Texas.

On the track, Moorespeed is in its second season of competition with 17-year-old fellow Texan Riley Dickinson in the IMSA Porsche GT3 Cup USA by Yokohama series. Dickinson, who is in his senior year of high school, is back behind the wheel of the No. 53 Moorespeed Porsche GT3 Cup after a successful and race-winning rookie campaign with Moorespeed last year.

The planned season-opening IMSA Porsche GT3 Cup race last weekend in St. Petersburg was postponed in step with other sporting events around the world that were either cancelled or postponed.

“We are likely not racing again until May at the earliest so have shifted 100% of our focus to our street-car operations,” Moore said. “We can pick-up and return any customer’s street vehicle without one-on-one contact and even keep and store them in our shop until customers are comfortable personally picking-up their vehicles, which hopefully will be in the not too distant future.”   

Moorespeed is located at 7910 Burleson Rd., Bldg. 2, Austin, Texas 78744 and the main phone number is (512) 474-7223. Learn more at www.Moorespeed.com.

Bogucki and SawBlade.com Backed Team Eye Continued Success at Devil's Bowl Speedway

Inside Line Promotions - KNOXVILLE, Iowa (March 16, 2020) - SawBlade.com sponsored sprint car driver Scott Bogucki is planning to head to a tricky track this weekend.

Bogucki and the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour venture to Devil's Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, Texas, on Friday and Saturday for the 47th annual Spring Nationals.

"We had a slow start to the year so we're aiming for consistency," he said. "We want to get back in the points chase."

Bogucki has been strong at Devil's Bowl Speedway in recent history. He captured an ASCS National Tour Speedweek show there in 2018 and has four top 10s in five races at the unique oval since the start of the 2018 season.

"To be honest it's one of those places that's kind of tricky," he said. "Once I figured out what needed to be done I've been pretty good. We've had good speed there. It's technical. One end you go uphill and it's sharp. The other is a flowing corner and you go downhill. It's kind of tricky to stick the bottom to be honest.

"It's fun for the aspect you have to be really on top of your game of hitting your marks, but it's frustrating when you have miles more speed than the guy in front of you and you can't get by."

Bogucki enters the weekend ranked eighth in the championship standings - only 10 points out of the top five and 47 points behind the leader.
