A.P. Racing
Engines To Sponsor CRA Super Series Event At Toledo Speedway
Salem, IN (May 8, 2007) – CRA
Super Series officials have announced that A.P. Racing Engines will be
the Sponsor of the CRA Super Series event at Toledo Speedway on
Sunday, May 27th. The
A.P.
Racing Engines 100 will be the 9th CRA Super Series event
held at Toledo Speedway. The event will be the second leg of a
double-header Memorial Day Weekend. The series will race on Saturday
night at Berlin Raceway in Marne, Michigan.
Last season’s A.P. Racing Engines 100
at Toledo Speedway was originally scheduled for Sunday, July 2, but
was postponed because of weather until Friday, August 11th.
2006 CRA Super Series Champion Scott Hantz got his first win of the
season in the A.P. Racing Engines 100 that evening. Hantz entered the
event with the series points lead with a total of five second place
finishes in the first 13 series events, but was still seeking that
first win of the season.
Showing his customary patience Hantz
moved up through the field by following first Eddie Van Meter for
several laps, waiting for his opportunity to get past him as Van
Meter's car began to get loose to take second place. He then set his
sights on race leader JR Roahrig who started to fade after a shock
broke causing him to have handling problems for the duration of the
race. Hantz would go on to get the victory with Van Meter in second.
Roahrig held on to finish third just ahead of Johnny Belott III in
fourth and Chris Gabehart in fifth, those three cars finished in a
pack with less than six-tenths of a second separating them.
Headquartered in Windsor, Ontario,
A.P. Racing Engines has been a leading manufacturer of racing engines
for several years. CRA Super Series feature winning drivers Eddie Van
Meter, Jack Landis and Andy Ponstein have raced CRA Super Series
events using engines from A.P. Racing Engines. A.P. Racing Engines is

season. A. P. Racing Engines will award any team winning a CRA Super
Series event with an A.P. Racing Engines engine purchased new for the

refreshened by A.P. Racing Engines for the 2007 race season with a
$1,000 cash bonus.
