Craven Tops Honorees At NEM Expo
AUGUSTA, Maine – Former NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver and Maine native Ricky Craven was presented with the 2013 Award Of Excellence on Friday, January 11, to highlight the 25th annual Northeast Motorsports Expo last weekend at the Augusta Civic Center.

“In my opinion, the Award Of Excellence is for somebody who has done a lot for motorsports in the state of Maine over the years,” said Northeast Motorsports Expo owner and promoter Steve Perry. “The things that Ricky Craven has done for the sport are really hard to put into words, but I think we all know what he's meant to the racing community here.”

Craven, of Newburgh, Maine, won two Sprint Cup Series races in his career – at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway and Martinsville (Va.) Speedway – and currently serves as an analyst for ESPN's NASCAR coverage.

More than 100 awards were handed out to racers at every level of competition during the three-day expo which was attended by several thousand enthusiasts of stock car racing and other forms of motorsports in New England. The Heluva Good! 25 honoring the Top 25 most influential people in New England motorsports over the last quarter-century was also unveiled, with veteran Turner, Maine, racer Mike Rowe taking the top spot. Rowe is the career wins leader at Oxford Plains Speedway, where he is a multi-time champion, in addition to owning championships at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway, Wiscasset Speedway and in PASS-sanctioned Super Late Models.

Former Oxford Plains Speedway and New Hampshire Motor Speedway owner Bob Bahre was No. 2 on the list, with Craven, four-time NASCAR K&N Pro Series East champion Andy Santerre and 9-time Oxford Plains champion Jeff Taylor rounding out the Top-5.

More than 20 teams over the course of the three-day Expo participated in the inaugural Last Chance Motorsports Pit Stop Challenge. The finals were held on Sunday afternoon in a tournament bracket format, with the PASS North Series championship-winning team of Benjamin Motorsports earning the victory and the $300 first prize.

“I really want to thank everybody involved, from Steve Park and Ricky Craven to our sponsors Team EJP, Quirk Auto, Heluva Good!, New England Racing Fuel and Mainley Motorsports, for making this a great weekend for Maine racing,” Perry said. “It was a fantastic weekend with a lot for fans to see and do, and we're already looking forward to building up next year's Expo and making it bigger and better than ever.”

New England's Longest Continuously Running Motorsports Trade Show To Celebrate Its 25th Anniversary
With track and series displays, industry vendors, driver autograph sessions, seminars and more, the Northeast Motorsports Expo returns to the Augusta Civic Center from Jan. 11-13, 2013. Former NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers Ricky Craven and Steve Park are both scheduled to make appearances during the weekend.

“We are fortunate to have the continued support of Peter Prescott and his family and employees at Team EJP,” said Expo promoter Steve Perry, owner of the Mainely Motorsports television show, who took over the show for founders Tim and Kathy Attaya in 2009. “I felt honored to be first approached a few years ago by Tim, who called the show his 'baby,' and we continue to add to the Expo's success.”

Craven, a Maine native and two-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race winner during his driving career, will participate in the “Passing The Mic” seminar at the Expo. Currently a popular member of ESPN's NASCAR coverage on television, Craven should feel right at home offering his opinion on a variety of topics related to short-track racing today.

Park, who drove for the late Dale Earnhardt, competed in five different NASCAR divisions at New Hampshire Motor Speedway during his career. He will be in the New England Racing Fuel booth to sign autographs and meet with fans during the Expo.

Friday night, January 11, marks perhaps the most exciting night of the entire weekend. Beginning at 7 p.m., show organizers will reveal the Heluva Good!Top 25 drivers and personalities in the 25-year history of the Northeast Motorsports Expo as decided by a fan vote.

“I really believe this is going to be our best Expo yet,” Perry said. “We've got a great mix of drivers, industry leaders, displays, seminars and interactive events. There's something for everybody this year.

“A lot of people have stepped up to make this event what it is, and I can't thank them enough. Team EJP, Quirk Auto, Heluva Good!, New England Racing Fuel and Mainely Motorsports have all played large roles in keeping the tradition that is the Northeast Motorsports Expo going.”

In addition to the “Passing The Mic,” which debuted at the Expo in 2012 as a roundtable discussion involving several short-track racing media personalities, there will be several seminars of interest for fans and team members. One of the most highly-anticipated new events is the Last Chance Motorsports Pit Stop Challenge which encourages fans to try their hand at completing an actual pit stop.

Full Slate Of Events Pack 25th Motorsports Expo
AUGUSTA, Maine – More than a dozen seminars and special events, including a question and answer session with two former NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers, marks the quarter-century anniversary of the Northeast Motorsports Expo.

With track and series displays, industry vendors, driver autograph sessions and more, the Northeast Motorsports Expo returns to the Augusta Civic Center from Jan. 11-13, 2013. Ricky Craven and Steve Park – who each have Sprint Cup Series wins on their New England-based resumes – will participate in a “Passing The Mic” seminar at 8 p.m. on the show's opening night.

“We have a great lineup of events taking place all weekend,” said Expo promoter Steve Perry, owner of the Mainely Motorsports television show. “There's something for everybody, too – from fans to crew members to drivers. I think this will be our best Expo yet.”

There are two “Passing The Mic” sessions scheduled for this year's Expo after its debut in 2012. Craven, currently a popular member of ESPN's NASCAR coverage on television, and Park, who competed in five different NASCAR divisions at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, will provide expertise in “Voices Of Experience” on Friday, Jan. 11 at 8 PM. Park will also be on hand at the New England Racing Fuels booth throughout the weekend to sign autographs and meet with fans.


A panel of New England media members will once again participate in “The Media Speaks Out” on Saturday, Jan. 12 at 4 PM. Perry, four-time NASCAR K&N Pro Series East champion Andy Santerre, Karl Fredrickson of Speedway Illustrated, Travis Barrett of GWC Motorsports Marketing and Mike Twist of Speed 51 are scheduled to be part of the panel.


One of the most highly-anticipated new events is the Last Chance Motorsports Pit Stop Challenge which encourages fans to try their hand at completing an actual pit stop. Teams will be entered in a race against the clock, with the best teams of the entire weekend squaring off in the finals on Sunday, Jan. 13 at noon.

New to the 2013 Northeast Motorsports Expo are three seminars, including
“Grassroots Motorsports Marketing” presented by Texas Roadhouse and the
Northeast Mini Stock Tour. There will also be a seminar for spotters and an
all-day body shop seminar Saturday presented by Quirk Auto.
