**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE** April 1st, 2013 FASTRAK PR – Wesley Outland & Jim Balentine



(Mercer, Pennsylvania) - Punxsutawney Phil had predicted only just six more weeks of winter. Race fans were eagerly anticipating the first race of the 2013 FASTRAK Sweeney Cars Northeast Late Model Touring Series at Mercer Raceway Park for the “Chiller Thriller 2013.” However Mother Nature decided things otherwise as snow and cold temperatures postponed the first race of the season to this weekend Saturday April 6th paying $2,000 to the winner. Racing is clearly the focus to start the FASTRAK Sweeney Cars Northeast Series opener at Mercer. This event will be one of 3 race venues hosting races taking place on Saturday for FASTRAK Companies International this weekend across the Mid-Atlantic United States.



The FASTRAK Sweeney Cars NORTHEAST Series is now being controlled by FASTRAK Founder/Owner Stan Lester and dignitaries at the FASTRAK Companies International Corporate office in Carnesville, Georgia. There will be many new "fan friendly" activities that will be in place for every touring show. Those great additions include such as FIREWORKS, autograph sessions, and other driver/fan interaction events starting at Mercer Raceway Park this weekend.



FASTRAK’S Best Drivers are preparing and setting their sights on defeating last year’s big winner Max Blair. #111 “MAD” Max Blair has dominated the FASTRAK Northeast series the past few years and will defend the FASTRAK World Champion’s title at the conclusion of the 2013 season.



The FASTRAK NE Touring Series will be joined by the ULMS Late Models, the FASTRAK Late Models, the UEMS Modified, and Mercer's Open Stocks. Gates will open at 4 p.m. An autograph session will take place at 6, with racing at 7pm.



Special event ticket pricing will be in effect for the Chiller Thriller. Adult general admission will be $17. Seniors (age 60 and over) will get a two dollar discount at the front gate only. Students will be admitted for $7 and all children (ages 8 and under) are free, as usual. The economical Family Pass will be $35, which is good for up to two adults and up to four minors of any age. Pit passes will be $30.
