NORWALK, Ohio (September 27, 2011) – It is hard to believe, but as little as one year ago no one was quite sure if Quaker City Motorsports Park would even be open to enjoy the 2011 racing season.
Now the little track in Salem, Ohio is a track champion having won the Division 3 North Stars Summit Team Finals event at Pittsburgh Raceway Park over the weekend.
Quaker City Motorsports Park won the D3 Team Finals by 10 points over host Pittsburgh Raceway Park thanks to a strong showing by its racers. Skyview Drags was third, followed by Dragway 41 and Thompson Raceway Park rounding out the top five.
In addition to a team championship, Quaker City also sent a pair of drivers to the Summit SuperSeries World Championship next month in Virginia led by Box winner J.P. Schuster. Schuster defeated Mark Talmadge of Dunn Tire Raceway with a 7.953, 159.52 on a 7.92 dial while Talmadge took too much at the stripe. Quaker City's other Summit SuperSeries qualifier is Chris Black who finished runner-up to Ted Miller of Thompson Raceway Park in No Box when Black broke out by nearly a tenth of a second.
All four finalists from PRP advanced to the Summit SuperSeries championship.

Greatest Moment No. 9 Announced; Voting Continues for NHRA's Greatest Moment
Force’s 100th victory is the pick for Moment No. 9; Voting continues for the Greatest Moment in NHRA History on the NHRA Facebook page
GLENDORA, Calif. (Sept. 26, 2011) – It took John Force awhile to get that elusive first victory – 10 years and nine final rounds – but when he got it the floodgates then opened to the tune of a record 133 victories and an incredible stretch of 22 consecutive seasons with at least one win.
In the midst of that historic run, Force won double-digit races five times and, at Houston in 2002, he celebrated his 100th career victory, a milestone that has yet to be equaled in NHRA Full Throttle Series history. It was recognized as one of NHRA’s 60 Greatest Moments at the beginning of NHRA’s 60th anniversary season and fan voting has identified it as the No. 9 Greatest Moment in NHRA history.

Castellana Leads Winners List At ADRL Summit Racing Equipment Ohio Drags V, Closes In On Championship
NORWALK, OH (September 24, 2011) – A year ago, Mike Castellana wasn't sure he would be racing in 2011.
Now, the Pro Nitrous standout is on the verge of a world championship in the American Drag Racing League (ADRL).
Castellana had another race to remember on Saturday, running 3.799 at 197.42 miles per hour to knock off Stan Allen in a great side-by-side race during the finals of the Summit Racing Equipment Ohio Drags V at Summit Motorsports Park.
A year after being diagnosed with cancer, Castellana is now cancer-free and has four wins in 2011. The Al-Anabi Racing driver also maintains a near-insurmountable points lead heading into the final event of the season, the LenMar Motorsports World Finals, which takes place Oct. 21-23 at Texas Motorplex.
"I wasn't even sure I was going to race this year," Castellana said. "I was just happy to be here racing, and I came out and enjoyed myself all year. This team has just been unbelievable."
Several other teams were just as impressive on a nearly-flawless day at Summit Motorsports Park where fans were treated to frenetic action and two world records. After rain wiped out the first day of the Summit Racing Equipment Ohio Drags V, Saturday started with two qualifying rounds and ended with unbelievable performances in eliminations.
Other winners included Alex Hossler (Pro Extreme), Grant McCrary (Extreme 10.5), Jeremy Teasley (Pro Extreme Motorcycle), Cary Goforth (Extreme Pro Stock), Scott Wasko (Summit Racing Equipment Top Sportsman) and Lee Adkins (Penske Truck Leasing Pro Modified).
