Mike Pegher Jr. Wins at Roaring Knob, Geisler Battles All Stars

Cranberry Township, PA (May 4, 2011) The Geisler Racing Team, which includes National Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame Member Lynn Geisler and Crate Late Model standout Mike Pegher Jr., have kicked off their 2011 season in fine fashion as Pegher has captured two victories in his #1 Cochran sponsored Fastrak Crate Late Model.

Pegher's season opened up on Saturday, April 9 with a win at Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Motor Speedway. Pegher led the entire distance and won by more than a straightaway over Justin Lamb and 2010's Cavalcade Rookie of the Year Bill Stile III. On Friday, April 15, Mike made his debut in the #1 Cochran Super Late Model at Lernerville Speedway. After running in the top-ten most of the night, a late race slip dropped Pegher to a 14th place finish.

The following Saturday, April 23, Mike competed at Sharon Speedway in Hartford, OH for a weekly Fastrak event. Pegher finished fifth behind race winner Joe Martin, Max Blair, Josh Double, and John Volpe. Mike finished off the month of April at Lernerville Speedway on Friday, April 29 and Roaring Knob Motorsports Complex on Saturday, April 30. Rough conditions caused by all of the wet weather the western Pennsylvania region has seen, helped make an early night for Pegher. A broken axle in his heat race kept Mike in the pits for the A-Main event. Fortunately, the team had much better luck the following night at Roaring Knob. It took Pegher 10 laps to move into the lead and never look back to win his ninth career Fastrak Northeast Series event. Mike's win ties him with Max Blair on the Fastrak Northeast all-time list.

With the team celebrating their 30th Anniversary with sponsor #1 Cochran Automotive, Geisler opened his season on Saturday, April 9 at Pittsburgh's PA Motor Speedway with a ninth place finish. The wet weather has put a hamper on Lynn's season so far as seven events have been rained out. Lynn was able to get into the action at Lernerville Speedway on Friday, April 29 with the O'Reilly All Star Late Model Series. Geisler times in fourth quick during time trials and finished third in his heat. However, Lynn pulled off early in the event to save his equipment and was credited with a 12th place finish. The next night, April 30, Geisler competed at Pittsburgh's PA Motor Speedway and came home with a ninth place finish.

Mike will be in action this Friday, May 6 at Lernerville Speedway in the #1C Super Late Model and will then head to Sharon Speedway on Saturday, May 7 for a Fastrak Weekly Series event. The following Saturday, May 14, Pegher will venture to Tyler Co. Speedway in Middlebourne, WV for a $1,200 to-win Fastrak NE event. Lynn will be back in action on Saturday, May 7 at Pittsburgh's PA Motor Speedway and will follow that up the following Saturday, May 14, again at Pittsburgh's PA Motor Speedway for a pair of $2,000 to-win events sanctioned by the UFO Series.
