Another Five Star Lineup on Tap for ASCS Patriots at 2008 Motorsports Expo Rich Vleck, TULSA, Okla., (February 25, 2008)- It’s that time of the year again when the Northeast comes together in Syracuse to prepare for the racing season ahead, and once again the ASCS Patriot Region has five top teams ready for showcase at the 2008 Motorsports Expo. Five Patriot cars will once again have prominent representation at the Cargill Exhibit Center from March 7-9 at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse. This year the cast includes four cars that have been on display in the past and one that will be at the Motorsports Expo for the first time but be on display for the Patriots for the second time in a month. Throughout the weekend, thousands of schedule cards and posters will be distributed, along with the debut of the all-new “Fans Win Too” promotion t-shirts. Drivers will also be available for autographs on Saturday, keeping with the tradition of the Patriot Sprints being a main component of this yearly kickoff party. Here are the five cars that will adorn the ASCS Patriot section this year: No. 45, Chuck Hebing. The two-time defending ASCS Patriot Champion is unsure which car he will have on display this year around, but you know it will be sure to turn eyes. “The Cobra” from Ontario, NY will be driving for Ohsweken’ s Glenn Styres at times this year and may display that car this time around. No. 35, Jared Zimbardi. The 2007 runner-up busted out with three thrilling victories over Chuck Hebing. The Little Valley, NY youngster turns to a Treviscraft mount this year and will have the car on display not only in Syracuse, but the week before as well at the Olean (NY) Center Mall Car Show. No. 51, Bryan Howland. The 2005 Patriot Champ was forced to miss some races last year but will be back with a vengeance this season. The Auburn, NY hot shoe is known for having one of the classiest and best appearing cars year-in and year-out and this year will be no different. No. 52, Scott Kreutter. At Motorsports Expo 2007, Kreutter did not even have an engine in his car, but when it was time to get down to business he was a consummate factor, including a pair for runner-up finishes en route to running away with Rookie of the Year honors. No. 11, Robbie Shuttleworth. His Uncle Chris had a car, also numbered 11, in the Patriot booth last year, this year it is one of the Insinger Rookie of the Year Candidates that will have his Shuttleworth Asphalt Sealing car on display. At the beginning of February, Robbie was on display at the Rochester Motorsports Show and dazzled patrons with his flashy white and green scheme. For the second straight year, the Patriots will align their booth with the Central New York Mini Sprints to showcase the varieties of open wheel action that will be provided across the Northeast in 2008. Show times are scheduled for 5:00-10:00 p.m. on Friday March 7, 11:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m. on Saturday and 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. on Sunday. For more information, please visit _www.GaterNews.com_ (
