The Bear Lake, Pa., star will make a special personal appearance for his primary sponsor, Lester Buildings, en route to Friday night’s WoO LMS event at Paducah (Ky.) International Raceway. He’ll visit Lester’s Charleston (Ill.) Service Center on Thursday (Sept. 13) from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

 

The visit was planned as a way to recognize a very loyal and energetic group of employees who have embraced both of Lester’s race teams – the No. 07 Chevy driven by Tim Sauter in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and, of course, the No. 1* dirt Late Model campaigned by Frank.

 

Frank, 45, is anxiously anticipating his appearance.

 

“I take my job of helping to promote and spread the Lester Buildings name seriously,” said Frank, who sits second in the current WoO LMS points standings, 52 points behind Steve Francis of Ashland, Ky. “I’ve had a great relationship with Lester and of course own a Lester race shop myself. And it’s always fun to meet Lester employees and owners of Lester buildings!

 

“This was an opportunistic chance to interact with the Lester gang and see their Charleston operation, which is one of three Lester plants. We’re really looking forward to it.”

 

The appearance is designed for the employees of Lester’s plant to meet Frank and get an up-close look at his car and hauler, but race fans in the Charleston, Ill., area are also invited to attend. Fans will have the opportunity to chat with Frank and check out his Rocket dirt Late Model and massive tow rig. The driver known as ‘Chubzilla’ will also sign autographs on his Lester Buildings hero cards and have his t-shirt/merchandise trailer open for business.

 

The Lester Buildings Charleston Service Center is located at

890 West State Street

in Charleston, Ill. It is just over 200 miles from Paducah International Raceway, where Frank will head after his appearance to get ready for the one-third-mile track’s first-ever WoO LMS event on Friday night.

 

The WoO LMS will also compete on Saturday night (Sept. 15) at I-55 Raceway in Pevely, Mo., and Sunday night (Sept. 16) at La Salle (Ill.) Speedway.
