Bad Luck Haunts Jared Miley; UFO Set To Take Off This Weekend!
South Park, PA (April 8, 2008) The 2007 Pittsburgh’s Pennsylvania Motor Speedway
Champion Jared Miley and Jared Miley Racing, like so many other Western
Pennsylvania race teams had to wait out the weather to get their local season
started. Lernerville Speedway has tried twice to kick off their 40th Anniversary
season but the weather has not been kind to the Sarver, PA speed plant. However,
the Western PA season was able to kick off on Saturday, April 5 at Pittsburgh’s
PA Motor Speedway (PPMS) with their season opener.
Jared debuted a new blue Colussy Chevrolet / Brougher’s Machine Shop / Red
Miley’s Miley Truck Rental / HTMA #H1 Rocket GTO at PPMS with a heat race
victory. After the invert, Miley started in the fourth row of the 25-lap main
event. After working his way up to the third position Jared slowed in turns
three and four with a flat tire and was forced to the pits on the ninth circuit.
Jared returned to the event one lap down and finished with an 11th place finish.
“It was a tough break but the car was good and we can build from this.” Miley
said after the event. “I don’t know if we were as good as Lynn (Geisler, the
eventual race winner) but it really didn’t matter after the flat.”
This weekend Jared will again attempt to help Lernerville Speedway open their
40th year on Friday, April 11 and then back to PPMS for another regular weekly
program on Saturday, April 12. On Sunday the 13th the team will make their way
to Challenger Raceway in Jacksonville, PA for the PA State Short Track
Championships. The event will pay $5,000 to win and is part of the Unified Force
Race Championship Tour. After a busy three race weekend the team will make their
way back to Lernerville Speedway for the World of Outlaws Late Model Series
sanctioned, $10,000 to win ‘Showdown in Sarvertown’ on Tuesday, April 15th.

Lynn Geisler Claims 67th Career Win at Pittsburgh’s PA Motor Speedway
Cranberry Township, PA (April 8, 2008) The Geisler Racing team and National Dirt
Late Model Hall of Fame Member Lynn Geisler made his 2008 debut this past
Saturday at Pittsburgh’s PA Motor Speedway (PPMS) after Lernerville Speedway had
the rains fall on them on Friday forcing track officials to cancel the event.
On Saturday the sun was shining not only over PPMS but also the #1C Geisler
Racing team. Lynn came into the 2008 season open minded after going winless in
2007 and that mindset seemed to work well in his heat race as he finished second
behind 2007 PPMS Track Champion Jared Miley.
Geisler started the 25-lap feature on the third row and methodically maneuvered
his #1 Cochran Automotive / Marshall Stamping / Groff Tractor & Equipment Inc. /
Tri-State Hose & Supply / Bolea Oil / Hoosier Race Tire / Rocket Chassis GTO up
to the second spot behind race leader Steve Baker. Geisler used the inside
groove to work his way past the ‘West Virginia Rim Rider’ and pull away to take
his first checkered flag since the 2006 season. “It was nice to get this win
early in the season after being shutout last season, now we don’t have to worry
about it the rest of the year. We were able to work our way through the field
after starting seventh, catch Steve (Baker) and race with him side by side for a
few laps and that is what really makes a race worth while.”
Lynn Geisler and the ‘Geisler Gang’ will try for a third time to open
Lernerville Speedway’s 40th Anniversary season this Friday, April 11 then they
will be off to PPMS on Saturday, April 12 to try for back-to-back wins at
‘Dirt’s Monster Superspeedway’. On Tuesday, April 15 the team will head back to
Lernerville Speedway for the $10,000 to win ‘Showdown in Sarvertown’ World of
Outlaws Late Model Series event.

Rough Start For Keith Barbara and Forbes Field Motorsports
South Park, PA (April 7, 2008) Keith Barbara and Forbes Field Motorsports made
it to two different race tracks this past weekend but unfortunately Mother
Nature only let them race once as the rains fell on Lernerville Speedway about
an hour before the show was set to begin. On Saturday Mom Nature gave the team
the weather they needed to get some heat in the tires at Pittsburgh’s PA Motor
Speedway.
The night started off shaky in practice for Keith as he had to pull off ‘Dirt’s
Monster Superspeedway’ with no fuel pressure in his Comcast / Triangle Benefit
Services / Potoka Trucking / Forbes Field Garage / Ran Group Racing Tours
sponsored #17 Rocket Chassis. The Forbes Field Motorsports team got the issue
fixed in time for Barbara to finish second in his heat race.
Keith’s second place finish set him up with the fifth place starting position
for the 25-lap feature. Barbara was strong throughout the event and climbed up
to third behind eventual race winner Lynn Geisler and Steve Baker but on lap 21
disaster struck. Smoke billowed out from underneath Keith’s freshly decaled #17
forcing Barbara to the pits with an 18th place finish.
The Forbes Field Motorsports team will be back in action this Saturday and
Sunday, April 12 and 13 for the Inaugural UFO PA State Short Track Championships
at Challenger Raceway in Jacksonville, PA. Keith will take a day off on Monday
and then make his way to Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, PA for the $10,000 to
win World of Outlaws Late Model Series sanctioned ‘Showdown in Sarvertown’ on
Tuesday, April 15.

time at the famed Maryland speed plant.
“The track was in pretty good condition again last week,” Miley commented. “It

can carry some of this momentum we are building and start the season out strong
here at home when the season starts,” concluded Jared.

Speedway for their 40th season opener and Saturday Jared will make his first

Keith Barbara Welcomes New Marketing Partner, Announces 2008 Plans, and Debuts
New Website
South Park, PA (January 29, 2008) Keith Barbara and Forbes Field Motorsports
rings in the new year with plenty of exciting announcements for the 2008 season.
The most exciting news for the team is the addition of Comcast as a marketing
partner. Comcast is the largest cable television company, the second largest
Internet service provider and the fourth largest telephone company in the United
States.
‘We are extremely excited to be working with Comcast this season,’ Keith said
from the annual Forbes Field Motorsports team meeting this past Saturday. ‘The
guys have been working their tails off this off season to get our cars ready for
the upcoming season and with the addition of Comcast, we feel like we can make a
lot of noise on the track in 2008. Our motor program was much better towards the
end of 2007 and we already have our motors back from Domhoff (Racing Engines),’
continued Barbara. ‘All we need to do now is hang the body on the car and get it
lettered and we will be ready to go.’
Also new for Forbes Field Motorsports in 2008 is their online home. Keith hired
the services of Jason Shank of JNJ Motorsports Media and Mike Mallett of MJM Web
Solutions to build the team a new website. ‘We wanted a more flashy website, a
website that fans and sponsors can go to and get the information they need
quickly and easily,’ Keith said. ‘The new website is exactly what our team
needed to become more fan friendly and it turned out way better than I thought
it could. We are extremely pleased and gracious for all the work that Jason and
Mike put into the site.’ The new website can be found at WWW.KEITHBARBARA.NET .
To go along with the new website, the team has announced a tentative schedule
for the 2008 season. Keith will be racing his family owned Comcast / Triangle
Benefits Services / Potoka Trucking / Forbes Field Garage / RAN Group Racing
Tours / Moses Electric / Rocket Chassis GTO at many of the regions top
facilities. Although the team has not committed to competing full time at any
one track or on any one series, they will be in action with most of sanctioning
bodies that come into the area. ‘We are going to do what we have been doing the
past couple of seasons,’ Barbara said. ‘Chasing points is not necessarily
something we want to commit to right away. Maybe once we get racing and things
start to shake out, we may take a look at racing for points but for now, we are
going to play it by ear.’ You can find Keith’s schedule on the ‘Tour’ page of
the new www.keithbarbara.net .
