GARY COURTIER CROWNED 2013 NEOPMA CHAMPION

(10-31-2013) Huntington, NY – It's been a long journey filled season, but one team persevered and emerged a champion after battling the tough competition that race the quarter mile Pro Mod series, and it came down to the final points event of 2013 to determine the Northeast Outlaw Pro Mod Champion.

"This is a great feeling to win this championship. I have been waiting fifteen years and it finally happened. We had a rough time getting started in the beginning of the season, but my team worked their butts off and everything started to click. Our team has come a long way from going to races trying to qualify, to being a top contender. This only can exist when you have good people around you that come to the shop once a week to service car, truck and trailer. I can't thank them enough. Talk about team spirit.  I have to give special thanks to Frank De'Novellis. I needed a valve and Frank drove 7 long hours from long Island NY to Maryland to drop parts off at 1 am and had to leave to take his son to soccer. If it wasn't for him we wouldn't be champions. That's the kind of people we are surrounded by. Thanks to Matt Deitch for having those parts." states Gary Courtier.

Gary would like to thank his team, George Pappas, Milt Decker, Craig Schmidt, Tony Candella, Jason Pappas, Frank De'Novellis, Bobby Kostrewa, Dominic, Bubby, Joshua, Larry Gonzalez, Jonathan Harding, and Tommy.

Special thanks to Switzer Dynamics for all there help and support, Brad from Reher- Morrison for always being there to help.

All of the NEOPMA staff (John Mazzorana, Vito Micciolo, Rockin Rob Cherkas, Rocco Micciolo, Mark Walker, and Melvin Jones) would like to congratulate Gary Courtier and Team on his championship, and acknowledge the top 10 finishers.
