BRIAN CARBER & GUY HOWIE JOIN FORCES FOR 2014 URC SEASON

From Bob Miller

Delmar, DE — (January 11, 2014) — Brian Carber of Pipersville, PA will be returning to compete with the 2014 Rislone URC Sprint Series. Carber, who will turn twenty in February, joined URC in 2013 for his first season of 360 sprint car racing, earning one feature win (New Egypt Speedway) and finishing a solid fifth in the overall URC point chase. It was an impressive first season for Carber who previously competed in both 305 sprints and 600 micros. For the youthful Carber, the coming season offers a huge opportunity, driving for Guy Howie. “Guy has talent and experience behind him and he is just the person to take our deal to the next level”, said Carber.

Carber’s Lawn Care and the Allamuchy Garage will be the lead sponsors for the team that will compete with HP Engines and a Maximum Chassis. Support sponsors include Chubby and CnB Mushrooms as well as ButlerBuilt seats. The Howie/Carber ride will carry the familiar #8C.

“The kid is 110% into racing, it’s just something he shows the desire to do and in racing today, you need to give 110% to be competitive”, commented Guy Howie as he talked about his new driver for the coming season. The team will concentrate on chasing the Rislone URC Sprint Series championship and they will maintain multiple cars to include one new sprinter for the start of the season. Guy Howie also has a 410 motor and they plan to do some central Pennsylvania sprint car racing when there is no conflict with URC. Guy Howie has been in the sport a long time and was a very successful modified driver in his day.

“I’m excited about the new season and I would really like to win a championship title, I really need one before I stop doing this racing stuff”, said Howie.

For Brian Carber, his entire life has been racing. “I’ve been around racing my whole life and if you want to be good, you need learn all aspects of racing”. Carber continued to say, “ On the track, you just have to keep working and you must force yourself to go somewhere else, find another lane or make a new one. I can’t win by following someone”.

Looking at the 2014 Rislone URC Sprint Series, Carber is happy with the strong schedule and the variety of different race tracks. “I like that the 358 sprints can run with us as well as the central Pennsylvania 360 sprint drivers, I want to run with the best and some nights, URC has it all”, added Carber.

Car set-up is also key and Carber feels he learns a lot by working on the car. “I’m learning new stuff, things I’ve never seen before”. A lot of the inspiration behind Brian comes from his father, Ed. “My dad has pushed me since I was five years old, I feel like I was born in a race car. My Dad would push me to better, he is a silent pusher and he has always been there for me ”, said Carber.

“As for 2014, we can be a strong team to win the URC Championship. I’ve got everything I need to be confident and I know Guy will give me a car to win races and get the job done”.
