East Coast Openers This Weekend

PENNSYLVANIA POSSE RETURNS HOME AFTER VICTORIOUS FLORIDA CAMPAIGN David Reininger - Motorsport News International

Hanover, PA (February 16, 1999) - The Posse returns to their home turf this weekend when two of Central Pennsylvania's top Sprint car tracks kick off their 1999 racing season. Central Pennsylvania drivers took six out of eight All Star sprint car races in Florida during Speedweeks. Jeff Shepard and Billy Pauch each took a pair of victories with Kevin Gobrecht and Greg Hodnett getting one a piece. When the Central Pennsylvania season opens this weekend there will be plenty of exciting racing as the tough competition always draws out of state invaders to see how they measure up against the Posse.
