Add Kevin Swindell under HP Engines and Logan Wagner as Hershey Racing Engines.
On a side note, you can make a connection to PA in some aspect with possibly every car there.

Huh, figured I'd see a headline like one of these.
"Pennsylvania Engine Builders inflate costs, ruin sprint car racing"
"Posse power proves pitiful for pockets of owners - sprint car racing in jeopardy"
Must be OK since the PA homers get to defend their sense of self-importance regarding something this week. I can't see it being the on-track performance of the drivers!

I was going to ignore this post as I do for most of Cubes entries, but since you started the Posse driver bashing.... Marks finished 4th last night At Oskaloosa against a very stout field of Outlaws and 'home field advantage' guys..not exactly chopped liver. Probably his first time seeing the track..maybe second. We all (except for a very few) know this is Knoxville's time to shine and have no intention of detracting from that with 'PA homer' posts.

We need to consider that Knoxville regualrs race at Osky maybe MAYBE once or twice a year. The only other time they could run Osky would be the 360 sprint invader show which only TMAC and Tasker ran from last night (TMAC didnt really race either). So really only once which is the same race most posse travelers also attend. There also hasnt been 410s there in a few years either. The track was quite grippy and hammer down which I for one was supprised because it is usually a dry slick track on regular Wednesday night shows with Mods and Stocks. To call Osky home field advantage seems a little unfair.
As for cubics point about posse motors... well hes got a point. There are some great builders out there in pennsylvania who make motors which perform well on the midwest half miles. I wont deny that at all. There are also some decent local builders as well such as Al Parker.

how dare those motor builders accept what people are willing to pay for their motors, especially when you can buy a Parker or an ostrich for half the cost, for those to dim to understand sarcasm, this was sarcastic.

Causes me to wonder why with so many great engine builders in PA, why is it the engines run outside of PA where as the drivers choose to stay home 90+% of the time?

HP Engines is out of Thompsontown, PA about 10 miles from Port Royal Speedway. He has been building engines for sprint cars for over 15 years. He is not a high profile guy, that brags about putting out High Horsepower numbers.
He builds my 305 engine, and currently has Clients such as Ryan Smith, Lee Jacobs, Doug Esh, Tom Buch's #13 sprint car, Brock Zearfoss, Kyle Moody,

$$$ for the most part. Some drivers and owners aren't in the sport for national recognition (Monteith for example). They have full time jobs/businesses and family that are more important to them. Personally, I'm glad they don't travel much because car counts are down as it is. As a fan (for 45 years) of local weekly racing who visits local tracks twice a weekend, I prefer to see the drivers racing in person, rather than watching on a device from afar or reading about them on twitter. Nice to see guys that have been traveling this year (Marks and Ryan Smith) do well though.

Because engine builders make money. It costs money when a car leaves the shop much less the state. Going to places like Knoxville is an expensive endeavor, and point money is on the line the rest of the year.

At this rate, Cubic is going to need a bigger boat. Throw the bait out there, and the same fools take the bair time after time after time.
