ASALMS Forum Board Has Been a Great Success for Teams!

The Swap Meet section of the ASA Late Model Series forum board has turned
out to be a great place for teams to find, Trade or sell what they need.
The series added the ASA Late Model Series forum board last year as a
place for teams, partners, officials and fans to be able to communicate
with each other and gather important information about the series and
events.

The Swap Meet has been a great success for many of our teams:

“I have gotten some phone calls already and I'm hoping we will find
exactly what we need. Thanks for your help again”  Joey King

“All three of our PHM Engines have been SOLD-----Thanks for all the calls!”
Jamie

“SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”  T Bogie 71

The ASA Late Model Series forum offers a variety of topics; General,
Events, Tech, Trivia, Travel and Swap Meet.  Although it is not a
community board it has added value to the series and teams by having a
general stopping ground to get facts and information regarding the series
and teams.

During the season the Travel and Event Topics will be updated for each
event to make sure teams have all the information needed about a specific
event and also how to save on their travel needs to each area.

Twenty Questions with 2008 ASA Late Model North Series Champion, Eddie
Hoffman

ASA Late Model Series PR - Lexington, MI 48450 - 12/30/2008

1)    What does it mean to you to win the ASA Late Model North Series 2008
Championship?
It is definitely a career highlight.  It means a lot to be able to compete
in a high profile series like ASA, and winning the 2008 ASA North Series
Championship was the culmination of a goal our team set at the beginning
of the year.  It means we performed at a very high level all season and
were both consistent and competitive as a team which is why we were able
to succeed.

2)    Was this the first year you have competed for an ASALMS Championship?
Explain
No.  I started competing in the ASA Late Model Series three years ago and
placed third in the Challenge Series in 2006, second in the Challenge
Series in 2007 and now first in the North Series for 2008.

3)    As one of short tracks most well known veterans, tell us about your
racing career accomplishments
My racing stats really go back to 1989 and 1991 when I won the US Enduro
Championship Title
In 1993, 1994, and 1995 I was Mid American Champion
In 1996 I was ARTGO Rookie of the Year
In 1997 I was ARTGO Champion and Grundy County Speedway Late Model Champion
In 1998-2004 I ran in the NASCAR Elite Division and while I did not win a
championship in that series I had numerous wins and was always in the top
5 in point standings
I won a second Late Model Championship at Grundy County Speedway in 2002
Over the years I have been fortunate enough to claim several victories at
a number of different tracks some of which include Nashville’s Music City
Motorplex, Nashville Superspeedway, The Milwaukee Mile, Gateway, USA
International Speedway, ORP, Pike’s Peak, Toledo, Berlin, Rockford,
Illiana Motor Speedway, Colorado National, Hawkeye Downs, Anderson, Lake
Geneva, WIR, and Grundy County Speedway.


4)    Will you defend your ASA Late Model North Series championship in 2009?
I hope to defend my title in 2009

5)    Besides the ASALMS, what other sanctions do you compete in?
CRA Series

6)    What is your most treasured racing experience?
If I had to pick one I guess it would be beating my Dad at his home track
of Illiana Motor Speedway


7)    What is your least memorable racing experience?
I guess since it is still fresh in my mind, crashing at I-70 this past summer

8)    At what age and how did you get started in racing?
I started going to tracks with my Dad when I was about 6 years old.  When
I was about 12, I started working on his car and later became his crew
chief.  My Dad kept promising me that he would let me drive but that never
materialized so at the ripe old age of 26, I commandeered an Olds 98 from
a tow yard, drove it to Grundy County Speedway, knocked out the windows
and drove in an enduro race.  I was hooked ever since.

9)    When you first started racing, what were your racing goals and what are
those goals now?
My goals then were the same as they are today, and that is to go out and
try to win every race I’m in.  If I can’t win I try to get the best
possible finish while bringing the car home in one piece.

10)     How much longer do you think you will race? Explain
I’ll race for as long as I am competitive.  To be honest I haven’t really
given much thought to retiring and don’t plan on thinking about it any
time soon.  I’m still having too much fun.

11)    Tell us about your family and how they have been involved in your racing
My biggest fan is my nine year old daughter Halley who loves coming to
watch me race.  She holds me to an extremely high standard and is usually
the first one out on the track to congratulate me in victory lane.  On the
other hand, when I don’t win she is also the first person to offer
“advice” for next time!  It’s important to me and means a lot that she is
supportive of and enthusiastic about my racing.

I also have to mention my Dad and the role he played in my racing career.
Since I had to sneak a car to the race track every now and then to get
my racing fix while still working on my Dad’s car I wouldn’t say I had
his blessing in the beginning, but as time went on he became supportive
of my racing career and proud of my accomplishments.

12)    Tell us about your crew and your sponsors
Lisa and Tom Kmak, owners of The Lisa Thomas Salons in Tinley Park and
Orland Park, Illinois are the car owners and primary sponsor of my race
team. I owe them a great deal of gratitude for enabling me to achieve so
much in my racing career. Their commitment to me and to the team has
always been our greatest asset.  Other sponsors that I would like to
express my gratitude to include Feece Oil, Appleton Rack and Pinion,
Quartermaster and Shoenfeld Headers.

As for my crew, they have been together for a number of years and have put
in a great deal of time and sacrifice to ensure I have a good car for
every race. These are not full time crew members but guys with full time
jobs that work on the race car on a part time basis.  First and foremost I
need to recognize Johnnie Signore who has been with TK Racing even before
I came along in 2000.  His dedication and commitment to me and to the race
team have been and continue to be extraordinary.  He puts in a great deal
of his time working on the race car and I know the tremendous sacrifice it
takes to be able to balance a full time job, spend time with family and
somehow find the time it takes to work on a race car each week.  I can
always count on Johnnie to do whatever it takes to make sure the car is
ready each week. I could not have achieved all that I have in the last 8
years without him.  Dave Dotter is a guy that just knows all there is to
know about working on race cars and he can pretty much do anything to a
race car as well and quicker than anyone.  His knowledge of and abilities
to set up a race car are second to none.  Brian Bank is arguably the best
tire guy out there.  I never need to worry about tires or pressures and
can focus on racing which is a huge advantage.  Brian has been with me
since 1999.  Ricky Van Beveren is an excellent all around crew guy who
knows exactly what needs to be done and takes care of it.  His commitment
and teamwork is a huge asset.  Tom Kmak, the car owner and spotter makes
it possible for me to negotiate around cars, and through the turns.  I
rely on his keen eye and confidence on the radio.  These guys all gel
together maybe because they have been together so long or maybe because
each one has a specialty and talents that are both recognized and
respected by the other crew members and myself.  There is a trust on this
team that enables each member to focus on their job(s) without having to
worry whether or not the other stuff will get done.  The commitment from
these guys has been outstanding and I cannot thank them enough for all
that they do.  In addition to the regular crew guys we are fortunate to
get help from friends who show up at the shop on a regular basis and do
everything from working on the car to handling the PR and administrative
tasks.  My gratitude extends to them as well.

13)    What are your hobbies or other interests?
I enjoy playing hockey and following politics whenever time permits.

14)    What is your favorite food and beverage?
My favorite alcoholic drink is a Bloody Mary and favorite soft drink is Coke

My favorite food is a baked potato and a properly seasoned, thick, juicy
steak grilled to perfection.

15)    Who is your favorite NASCAR driver?

I have two favorites in this category.  First I would say Jimmie Johnson
because I raced against him in ASA and I respected him for his abilities.
He’s such a talented driver and I enjoyed racing against him.  I also like
Jeff Burton because I like his driving style and have followed his ups and
downs in his career over the years.

16)    What is your favorite TV show to watch?
Law and Order

17)    What is your favorite movie?
Slapshot, of course!

18)    What is your favorite type of music and what cd is in your cd player now?
I grew up with Rock and Roll and still like it today
The CD in my player currently is Aerosmith

19)    How did you pick your car number? Explain
In 1995, while racing the MidAm series at WIR, Mike Butz who owned the car
that Matt Kenseth drove asked me on occasion to hot lap the car when Matt
wasn’t at the track.  The following year, Matt was moving on and Mike
asked me to drive his Super Late Model black #8 car at WIR which is the
same year I started to run the ARTGO series with Fred Appleton.  Fred and
I decided that since Mike had a black #8 that I was driving at WIR, we
would just keep the same color scheme and number so we went with a black
#8 car and so the tradition of the #8 and Eddie Hoffman began.

20)    Of all of the tracks you have raced on, which is your favorite and why?
I guess I would have to say Nashville because it’s a great town with an
awesome racetrack that has history, speed, requires handling, two grooves
and gives the coolest trophies!  I’m going to miss this track because it
will probably be gone before I am.

Championship bonus question: What are your racing plans for 2009?

Twenty Questions with Brett Moffitt, 2008 ASA Late Model North Series
Rookie of the Year

Grimes, Iowa (December 24, 2008) – Recently we sat down with 2008 ASA Late
Model North Series “Rookie of the Year”, Brett Moffitt. Following are the
questions we asked and the answers we got from the very amiable, young
racer who is certainly on his way to a very successful career in
motorsports.

1) What does it mean to you to be the ASA Late Model North Series 2008
Rookie of the Year?
Moffitt: Going into my first season of asphalt racing, I certainly had my
eye on the “Rookie of the Year” award, but I knew I would be competing
against the best short track drivers in the nation. All in all, we ended
up the season on a strong note and did what we had to do to earn the
rookie award. It was a good first season, and I am proud of what we
accomplished. You only get one chance to be rookie of the year.

2) Were you surprised to finish 2nd in the ASA Late Model North Series
overall points as a true rookie, competing on the asphalt?
Moffitt: Yes, I was surprised. We had a pretty good hold on third place
until about the last three or four events, when Jeremy Miller began to
gain on us. I-70 was a pretty good run for us, and at La Crosse everything
had to work out just right. We had a good qualifying run, which gave us
some extra points. We were able to lead a lap for some additional points,
and we finished second. We knew we had the “Rookie of the Year”. I really
didn’t think we could pass Saunders. It was not until ASALMS made their
official points post that we found out we had moved in front of Saunders
and that it was only by two points. The week at La Crosse was a great
week, we did what we had to do during Saturday’s race and it all worked
out.

3) Will you compete for an ASA Late Model Series Championship in 2009?
Moffitt: We are still working on plans for 2009, but if everything falls
into place like we think it will, we will compete in one and possibly two
of the ASALMS divisions. I would like to get some feature wins and compete
for a championship with the ASALMS. As I mentioned earlier, the
competitors there are the best of the best in short track racing.

4) You were what I call a true Rookie in asphalt racing this year; tell us
about your previous racing experience.
Moffitt: I started racing go-karts, and we raced them for three years.
Last year we raced a B-Mod/SportMod on dirt. It was at the end of the
season last year that I decided I would like to pursue racing as a career,
so this year we moved to asphalt, racing in the ASALMS North Series, the
ASALMS Challenge Series, the ASA Midwest Tour, and some Big 8 Super Late
Model events.

5) To date, what is your most treasured racing experience?
Moffitt: I actually have a couple. The first one was winning the “Tulsa
Shoot-Out”. There were hundreds of go-karters there, and winning there was
my first major win. Of course, winning the ASALMS “Rookie of the Year” and
finishing second in the points will always be a treasured memory.

6) To date, what is your least memorable racing experience?
Moffitt: For me, that would be DNFs. We only had two this year, which I
guess is not too bad, but I still don’t like it when we can’t finish a
race. The worst DNF was the one at the Iowa Speedway. It was my first
start in the ASALMS Challenge Series and the first race with our
sponsorship from Karl Chevrolet and GM Performance Parts. Since I grew up
in Grimes, Iowa, the Iowa Speedway is my home track. We started
seventeenth in that race and had worked our way into eighth, when contact
from another competitor sent us into the turn four wall. The contact was
not that bad, but mechanical problems prevented us from restarting the
race. I would like to forget that one.

7) Tell us about your previous racing accomplishments?
Moffitt: In go-karts we won four WKA Championships and the WKA “Triple
Crown”. We also won an IKF Championship, and we won the Junior 2
Championship at the “Tulsa Shoot-Out”. Last year in the SportMod we won a
total of 26 IMCA Features, which gave us the “All Iowa SportMod” Points
Championship. We won the SportMod feature during the “Harris Clash”, which
made us the youngest driver to ever win a feature event at the Knoxville
(Iowa) Raceway. In 2008, we won the Northern SportMod Championship at the
IMCA Spring Nationals, held at Beatrice, NE. We then made the transition
to asphalt. During the 2008 season, we set five fast times, including two
new track records, and on one night at I-70 Speedway, we set fast time,
which was a new track record and won the feature. We were the youngest
person in its 29 year history to qualify for the “Slinger Nationals” for
super late models. We won the ASA Late Model North Series “Rookie of the
Year”, and finished second in the overall point standings.

8) At what age and how did you get started in racing?
Moffitt: We started racing go-karts when a co-worker of my Dad’s set us up
with a kart. I was eleven when we started. At first, I didn’t really know
if I liked racing, but it didn’t take long before I decided that I wanted
to pursue racing as a career.

9) What goals have you set for yourself in racing?
Moffitt: I really would like to make racing my career, and with that said,
my goal would be to become one of the top drivers in NASCAR. In the
immediate future, I hope to win a championship and continue to climb the
racing ladder, moving through the NASCAR series as my age will allow me.

10) Tell us about your family and how they have supported your racing
efforts.
Moffitt: My entire family has been very supportive. While my Mom (Becky)
keeps me grounded and takes care of things around home, my Dad (Dick) has
been with me every step of the way. He has driven me thousands of miles
allowing me to compete on the asphalt this year. My Mom and Dad both have
sacrificed a lot, including their own interests, to support and allow me
to pursue racing. My sister (Alle) has also been very supportive. As a
matter of fact, when we first started in the go-karts, we raced together
as a team. Alle was actually pretty good, and along with Mom and Dad, she
has always encouraged me to set goals, go out and achieve them, and always
be the best I can be.

11) Tell us about your race crew and your sponsors.
Moffitt: My number one crew member is my Dad. Last year when we moved to
the modified, we got hooked up with Bob Harris. Bob is a shock specialist
and also helped us with setting up the chassis. This year, Bob continued
to help us when we raced dirt, but he was also there during our transition
to asphalt, serving as a drivers coach. On the asphalt, I drove this year
for 5K Motorsports, a team based out of Slinger, WI. Ken Wills is the
owner, along with his Dad, Larry. Paul Christman was a key crew member,
sometimes serving as my crew chief. About mid-season Deon Deneau came on
board, serving as crew chief and shop manager. There were several other
team members, and I want to thank them all for all the hard work they did
during the season. Racing truly is a team sport. One of our first sponsors
to come on board was DuPont Tyvek, they have been on our ASALMS cars from
the beginning. Just before the race at the Iowa Speedway; Karl Chevrolet
came on board, helping with sponsorship on our ASALMS cars, along with the
our SportMod racing when we found time to run on dirt. In association with
Karl Chevrolet, GM Performance Parts also became a sponsor on the ASALMS
cars and the SportMod. I want to thank all of our sponsors. They came on
board when we really needed the help, and we would not have had the
results we had this year without them.

12) What are your other hobbies and interests?
Moffitt: While I have really concentrated on racing - in 2007 we raced on
the dirt over eighty times, and in 2008 we competed in over forty asphalt
events, plus a hand full of dirt races - I do enjoy a couple of teenage
hobbies. I like to go paintballing and in general, just hanging out with
my friends.

13) What is your favorite food and beverage?
Moffitt: I really like to eat at Applebee’s, and my favorite menu item
there is the chicken strips; however, I like chicken strips from just
about everywhere. My favorite beverage is Gatorade. Maybe one of these
days, I can get them as a sponsor.

14) Who is your favorite NASCAR driver and why?
Moffitt: My favorite NASCAR driver is Jimmy Johnson, and why would you
even ask why? He is the man. He has won two NASCAR Championships in a row,
and by the looks of things, he is headed to number three. I admire his
driving style, ability and his overall cool demeanor. I believe he is a
great role model to look up to.

15) What is your favorite TV show to watch?
Moffitt: I like to watch almost everything that is on SPEED, but my
favorite show is Wind Tunnel with Dave DeSpain. I wish it was on year
round.

16) What is your favorite movie?
Moffitt: Right now it is “Shooter”, starring Mark Wahlberg. It really had
a lot of twists, it is a great movie.

17) What is your favorite type of music and what CD is in your CD player now?
Moffitt: I mostly listen to alternative rock. I don’t have a CD in; I
listen to my iPod and the radio mostly.

18) Do you think you will continue to race dirt when your schedule allows,
and at what tracks or
events?
Moffitt: Yes, as time permits. We are focusing on a career, and as you
know, to have a successful career in racing now, you have to get to
NASCAR, and the only way to do that is to race on the asphalt. We do have
a new SpotMod, and as our 2009 schedule allows, we will try to race some
at Marshalltown (Iowa) and in some special events like the “Harris Clash”.

19) Of all the tracks you have now raced on, which one is your favorite
and why?
Moffitt: Of course, I would have to answer that with the Iowa Speedway. It
is my home track, and it is a very fast, fun track to race on. The ASALMS
cars are real fast there, because of their weight. They are light and a
handful to drive at Iowa Speedway, but they are a lot of fun. A close
second choice would be the Milwaukee Mile.

20) Tell us about your plans for 2009.
Moffitt: We are still working on the details for 2009. If everything falls
into place, we would like to compete in one, and possibly two, of the ASA
Late Model Series divisions. We would like to follow up our rookie year
with some feature wins and put ourselves in a position to bring home a
championship. In the short term, we are going to celebrate our “Rookie of
the Year” honors and the high note we ended the season on. In addition to
the possible ASALMS racing, we recently signed on with Andy Santerre
Motorsports, with the plan of competing in the thirteen Camping World East
Series events. We are secure to compete in the first seven events but we
are seeking sponsorship for the last half of the season.

Thanks to Brett Moffitt for sitting down and answering our twenty
questions. To follow his racing career and to keep up with his news during

ATI Performance Products Continues Partnership with the ASA Late Model
Series in 2009

Lexington, Michigan (12/26/2008): The ASA Late Model Series Presented by
GM Performance Parts is moving full speed ahead towards the most highly
anticipated season in series history. New and returning sponsors alike are
stepping up to the plate in support of the Lexington, Michigan based
series.

Another returning sponsor is ATI Performance Products based out of
Baltimore, Maryland has renewed for the 2009 season as a Participating
Manufacturers Program (PMP) partner and Contingency Sponsor for the three
divisions of the ASALMS.

�gWe�fre very fortunate that ATI has returned for the 2009 season.�h
Commented ASALMS Co-Founder/President, Ron Varney. �gOur list of new and
returning sponsors coming on board makes me proud to see the ASALMS has
come so far in these last six years and we�fll only continue to get
stronger as we look ahead to our seventh season and beyond!�h Varney
added.
�gWe have just announced that the ATI will be the spec damper on all ASA
Late Model Series LS3 Motors�h Finished Varney

�gThe ASA Late Model Series has always been a great venue to promote
products, to the racers who are just getting into a touring division as
well as established teams and drivers who make the ASALMS their home.�h
Added J.C. Beattie of ATI Performance Products.

Beattie then continued: �gATI Performance Products Inc., is well known in
the Drag Racing world, however the ATI Super Damper is used by 100% of
Sprint Cup Teams and by almost all top engine builders in the country. The
ASALMS is a great place to establish your companies name in front of the
next generation of up and coming racers.�h

Just some of the many performance products available at ATI Performance
Products include; Super Dampers, Transmissions, CW3 Welders, Converters,
Flexplates, and Damper Accessories. A complete list of products and
services is available on their website.

ATI also offers Wheel Bearing Seal adapters to eliminate the need to ruin
your hub seals during each bearing service for 2�� spindles and 5 x 5
hubs. They also offer Shock Adjuster Nuts that are longer, giving room to
add a bearing that we supply so adjusting springs is a snap.

The nuts have a proprietary coating, 6 holes and lines for easy adjusting
and counting, and are nearly 1�� tall to contain the bearing and grab the
spring when the car is let down.

ATI and Jim Beattie are synonymous in the field of drag racing and have
since made their way into the world of circle track racing. It is common
to find ATI equipped vehicles winning races throughout the United States.
However, this tremendous success didn�ft happen overnight. ATI Performance
Products is the creation of over 40 years of transmission and performance
component manufacturing and racing experience.

In the early 1960�fs, Beattie, ATI�fs president and owner, left the Navy
and opened a general transmission rebuilding shop that has grown into one
of the largest suppliers of quality high performance transmissions, torque
converters and driveline components in the industry.

Beattie further enhanced his new company�fs image by competing as a
Sportsman drag racer in the �f60�fs and as the owner and sponsor of the
immensely popular original Black Magic Fuel Funny Car, a crowd favorite in
the mid-70s.

Today, ATI manufactures a multitude of high performance parts including
Competition Transmissions, Treemaster Converters, Torsional Super Dampers,
Compu-Flow Valve Bodies, Flexplates, and Adapter Kits as well as a wide
variety of performance enhancing internal components.

ATI�fs commitment to racing has allowed the company to maintain a
prominent position on the cutting edge of high performance component
design and manufacturing!

Located in Baltimore, Maryland, ATI�fs corporate headquarters houses one
of the most advanced machine shops in the industry. Beattie�fs fascination
with computer numerically controlled (CNC) machinery has produced a plant
equipped with some of the finest CNC lathes, milling machines and
machining centers available.

Because these machines are driven by sophisticated computer systems, the
tolerances and the uniformity of each fabricated part are to the highest
standards. By investing in this technology, Jim Beattie has insured that
his customers receive the highest quality performance components available
anywhere.

ATI has maintained a close relationship with racers and racetracks, no
matter what the class, bracket or size of the track. As a major sponsor of
the NHRA, IHRA, ARCA, and now the ASALMS. Beattie and the entire ATI staff
have made a strong commitment to the sport of racing and the tradition of
providing the finest performance parts in the industry.
