Jeremy Frankoski Participates In Fast Track Blue Collar Hero Driver Challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n

CONCORD, North Carolina (April 27, 2011) – – Race car driver Jeremy Frankoski continues to keep his head in the racing game and explore all of his options as the open wheel star recently competed in Andy Hillenburg\u2019s Fast Track Blue Collar Hero Driver Challenge presented by Speed Sport News at Little Rockingham (N.C.) Speedway.<\/p>\n

Andy Hillenburg\u2019s Fast Track Blue Collar Hero Driver Challenge presented by Speed Sport News is the newest creation in an effort to find racing\u2019s next future star. Beginning in March and conclude in June at the track known as \u201cThe Little Rock\u201d in Rockingham, North Carolina.
\n
\nThe challenge is out to breed the next up-and-comers, who will have one shot during the three month contest (25 days of competition will be held during the three month run) and advance from a Fast Track High Performance Driving School car to a full-executed ARCA Racing Series stock car against one of racing\u2019s finest stars all in one day. The overall winner will be approved to compete in ARCA\u2019s return to Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis for the running of the Ansell Protective Gloves 200 on Thursday, July 28, 2011 live on SPEED.<\/p>\n

For Frankoski, the former USAC Ford Focus Carolina champion \u2013 the opportunity to participate in such an experience with the 1995 ARCA champion was a real honor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like the session went real well,\u201d said Frankoski, who also has dabbled in Late Models. \u201cThe Little Rock is a very tight little short track but a lot of fun, especially in the ARCA cars. I feel like my chances are good to have a shot to be the winner. Time will only tell though if we\u2019ll have a shot to run at Lucas Oil Raceway in June.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hillenburg, the two-time Daytona ARCA winner was overwhelmed with the ability and car control that Frankoski balanced in his first tango with a 3,400-pound ARCA car.<\/p>\n

\u201cJeremy Frankoski is a wheel of talent,\u201d Hillenburg said. \u201cHe\u2019s definitely brought some class, integrity and speed into our Fast Track Blue Collar Hero Driver Challenge presented by Speed Sport News. If he does become the winner, he should be able to bring a lot to the series and Fast Track Racing. Whatever happens, he\u2019s someone we\u2019ll have to watch for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Currently, Frankoski is competing in a full-season in the NorthEastern Midget Association (NEMA) tour for Adam Cantor Racing (ACR) in the No. 7NY IGA \/ Reichert Group Mopar machine. Earlier this month in the season-opener he finished third at Waterford Speedbowl in Connecticut.<\/p>\n

In two consecutive years with NEMA, Frankoski has tallied 27 starts, one win, nine top-fives and 18 top-10 finishes. <\/p>\n
