Pittsburgh, PA (July 15th, 2013) – After earning a nineteenth (19th) place finish during the $50,000-to-win, 30th Annual ‘Kings Royal’ at the Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, sanctioned by the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series, on Saturday, July 13th; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania native Danny Holtgraver will waste no time celebrating, as a very busy section of racing schedule is set to begin this Tuesday night, July 16th at the Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania.
The next four (4) weeks will consist of long road trips and numerous nights of competition for Danny Holtgraver; as B&R Racing is set to travel throughout various areas of the country during their upcoming agenda; including areas in Pennsylvania, New York, Wisconsin, South Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa. Holtgraver, who pilots the, Canton Erectors, Berlin Natural Bakery, Alternative Power Sources, DKW Transport, no. 45 ‘410’ sprint car, will be in action with the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series, the UNOH All Star Circuit of Champions, and the Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint Car Dirt Series; all over the course of the next month. The month-long road trip begins on very familiar territory; as the annual ‘Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup’ at the Lernerville Speedway is set to take shape this Tuesday night, July 16th; an event that Holtgraver is perhaps most excited for.
Danny Holtgraver and B&R Racing, lead by veteran Crew Chief Brian Kemenah, will begin their upcoming four (4) week adventure this Tuesday night, July 16th at the Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania. The World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series will be invading the Sarver 4/10’s mile dirt oval for the annual ‘Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup’ Twin-30’s. The twin-feature formant, which will be highlighted with two (2) 30-lap A-mains for the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series on Tuesday night, will give Danny Holtgraver an opportunity to earn two (2) $15,000 top prizes. The Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania native and former Lernerville Speedway track champion finished second (2nd) and tenth (10th), respectively, during last season’s ‘Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup’ twin-30 lap features. The top-ten finish and podium appearance earned the B&R Racing ‘45’ the highest overall average finish during the 2012 ‘Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup.’ Danny Holtgraver has yet to earn a career-first World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series main event, but hopes to change that in front of his hometown fans this Tuesday night.

After ‘Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup’ action is complete on July 16th at the Lernerville Speedway, Danny Holtgraver and B&R Racing will jump back on the UNOH All Star Circuit of Champions’ trail for two (2) events in the state of New York. The UNOH All Stars will visit the Fulton Speedway in Fulton, New York; and the Fonda Speedway in Fonda, New York this Wednesday and Thursday, July 17th & 18th, for two (2) complete programs. Both events will be UNOH All Star ‘East Region’ and ‘Nationally’ sanctioned programs; offering $5,000 top prizes. Check out www.allstarsprint.com for further detials.
The ‘Thunder Through The Plains’ portion of the 2013 UNOH All Star Circuit of Champions schedule is set to begin immediately after their two-day midweek swing through the state of New York. Danny Holtgraver will join the UNOH All Stars for the 2013 ‘Thunder Through The Plains;’ which will feature six (6) complete shows between the dates of July 20th and August 11th. The six events will act as their own UNOH All Star region; much like the already existing ‘Ohio Region’ and ‘Eastern Region.’ Holtgraver and B&R Racing will kick-off the 2013 ‘Thunder Through The Plains’ tour on Saturday, July 20th at the Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wisconsin. From Wilmot, the series will visit the Husets Speedway in Brandon, South Dakota on Sunday, July 21st; Hibbling Raceway in Hibbling, Minnesota on Tuesday, July 23rd; Jackson Speedway in Jackson, Minnesota on Saturday, July 27th; Buffalo River Raceway in Park Glyndon, Minnesota on Sunday, July 28th; all before rounding out the 2013 ‘Thunder Through The Plains’ tour back at the Husets Speedway in Brandon, South Dakota on Sunday, August 11th. Although Danny Holtgraver’s schedule may look to have a large gap between Buffalo River Raceway and their last stop at Husets Speedway, that is certainly not the case.
Danny Holtgraver will spend ten (10) days at the Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa beginning Thursday evening, August 1st; racing with the world’s greatest ‘360’ sprint car drivers and the world’s greatest ‘410’ sprint car drivers. The B&R Racing ‘45’ team, which is owned and funded by Mr. Bryan Grove and Mr. Rob Hunter out of Ohio, will compete in not only the 53rd Annual Knoxville Nationals from August 7th through the 10th, but they will also compete in the 23rd Annual Arnold Supply ‘360’ Knoxville Nationals from August 1st through the 3rd; featuring the Lucas Oil ASCS national sprint cars. Danny Holtgraver has been ultra-competitive in both levels (360 & 410) of sprint car racing during the 2013 season thus far, and hopes to continue that momentum into this year’s Knoxville Raceway ten-day road trip. The recent UNOH All Star Circuit of Champions winner at the Mercer Raceway Park in Mercer, Pennsylvania has proven his competitiveness in all levels of sprint car racing in 2013 by not only earning two (2) UNOH All Star victories, but also earning the $10,000-to-win, ‘King of the 360s’ event at the East Bay Raceway Park (FL) back in February. The 2nd Annual Capitani Classic on Sunday, August 4th is also on the Knoxville Raceway agenda for Danny Holtgraver and B&R Racing.
