“We are looking forward to Thursday” stated Jack Ely. “We’ve led a lot of laps at Lancaster last year and I was spotting for Austin Beers when he won the Whelen Tour race, so Lancaster become a place I’ve circled on my calendar where I’m looking to get a win in my family’s car. Hopefully we can put it all together on Thursday.”

Zane Zeiner of Bath, Pa., who is the defending Series Champion is also the current Series point leader by 25 markers over Roger Coss of Lafayette, NJ. Patrick Emerling of Orchard Park, NY is the defending event champion. Jake Lutz of Hamburg, NY, who won his first-race last season will be the driver of the car, the Advantage Motorsports 14 that Emerling drove in last season's victory.
