TRENTON, NJ – December 2, 2016-With the start of the Indoor Auto Racing Season just a week away at Trenton’s Sun National Bank Center, the pressure just got turned up on all Three Quarter (TQ) Midget racers entered.
Bob Hilbert Sportswear of Boyertown, Pa. is sponsoring a unique $10,000 challenge. If one driver can win all four rounds of the Indoor Auto Racing Series Fueled by VP he’ll pocket a $10,000 check from the official sportswear supplier of the series.
To earn Bob’s Bonus, a TQ Midget car driver will have to be perfect! The driver will have to win Saturday’s Battle of Trenton A-Main on Saturday, December 10th. The driver will then have to win back-to-back nights in Allentown, Pa.’s PPL Center on Friday and Saturday, December 30th and 31st. To make the sweep complete, the driver will have to win the NAPA Auto Parts Gambler’s Classic inside Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall on Saturday night, January 28th.
With over 50 TQ Midget race cars entered for each event, the task isn’t easy but it can be done. During the 2015-2016 Indoor Racing Series, Erick Rudolph won two of three events falling one race short of claiming the $10,000 bonus then sponsored by Vahlco Wheels.
As a consolation prize, if one driver wins three of the four races that driver will receive a contingency sponsorship from Bob Hilbert Sportswear.
Rudolph, the defending Series champion, is coming to Trenton after an unbelievable outdoor season that saw him win 22 dirt Modified events. Ted Christopher, whose eight Indoor Series victories leads all other drivers, is another top candidate to collect Bob Hilbert’s $10,000 challenge. The former NASCAR Modified Series champion from Plainville, CT enters the Trenton event driving for Trey Hoddick’s winning team for the first time.
Other candidates include 2016 Atlantic City winner Anthony Sesely, now driving for Lou Cicconi, Jimmy Blewett, Ryan Flores and over 50 others.
