Syracuse, N.Y. — (April 2, 2014) — It’s a special sponsorship program which will see the Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprints’ logo being donned on the Billy Pauch Jr. driven #36 sprint car that’s competing on the Eighth Annual USAC Eastern Storm Tour.  In a joint effort that has come to agreement between Gene Franckowiak, Brian Thomas and Bruce Engler with backing from Specialty Rigging of Reading Pa. and Wood Naturally, Inc. of Herford, Pa.

 

Billy Pauch Jr, the second generation star from Milford, NJ will make a full assault on the USAC Eastern Storm Tour which will take his talents to Grandview, Lincoln, New Egypt, Port Royal and Susquehanna Speedways from June 3-8.  His sharp, wingless F5 Twister chassied machine will be supplied by Franckowiak with Thomas and Engler providng the Engler Performance built powerplant and hauler.

 

The car will see unique sponsorship from the Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprints (ESS), the Syracuse, NY based 360 sprint car organization that is celebrating their 31st consecutive season in 2014.  The well known club will be showcasing events in three states and two Canadian Provinces this season with over 30 events scheduled.

 

“To have our logo on the side of Billy Pauch Jr’s wingless sprinter for the Eastern Storm is a honor for us.” said ESS’ Vice President Dean Reynolds. “USAC has such a storied tradition and the annual swing through the Northeast gets more popular each year.”

 

Also, Pauch Jr. will see some action on the ESS tour. While details on which events he will attend will be announced at a later date he is possibly eyeing some of the ESS’ CNY Speedweek dates and also the Brett Deyo promoted event at Thunder Mtn Speedway, ESS’ first ever visit there.

 

“I have to thank Gene, Brian and Bruce so much for all their help with the USAC program.  I just love running the wingless sprints and I can not wait to be a part of the Eastern Storm swing at some really top dirt tracks.” noted the 26 year old driver. “I will also look to run a few ESS events which will be cool.  They have a neat club with some of the best drivers and going up to New York will be fun.”

 

Specialty Rigging from Reading Pa, will be a major force in the effort. Not only in sponsoring Pauch’s Eastern Storm effort but also is a sponsor on Franckowiak’s 410 sprint car team driven by Dave Ely.
