Lewisberry, Pa. (January 4, 2011) – ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’, this popular cliche’ is exactly what Kyle Moody and Chris O’Hara, Event Director for the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show, thought when discussing plans for the 2012 season. The partnership started half-way through the 2011 season and they both agree that it works.
The Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show is the largest consumer event of its kind in North America, held at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, Pa. It attracts outdoor sports enthusiast from around the country to view hunting and fishing products, plan outdoor sport and camping vacations, shop for fishing boats, fishing tackle and hunting gear, and ATVs, and participate in a wide range of sport-related contests and family entertainment offerings. Moody’s car will be on display at the 2012 show, which lasts from February 4-12.
“We are really excited to be able to sponsor Kyle and his team again in 2012,” said O’Hara. “The outdoor industry and racing go hand-and-hand, a lot of our customers are race fans so it only makes sense for us to gain exposure in one of our prime markets. I’m looking forward to Kyle bringing his car to the show in February, we’re really hoping that it helps get his name out to the fans that may not already know who he is.”
The 99M will return to the 358 sprint car division at Williams Grove and Lincoln Speedways as well as participate in special races throughout the year. Elmer Cotner will return as head mechanic for the Eastern Sports and Outdoor show sprinter.
“I’m looking forward to 2012 and I’m really honored to have the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show back on the car,” said Moody. “We were able to finish the 2011 season strong with a fifth place finish at Susquehanna Speedway and I’m really proud of our solid run during the USAC Eastern Storm. I think we definitely grew a lot as a team and while we had good runs we still weren’t able to pull off a win, that’s our main goal for this season. Every team goes through their ups and downs on their way to success and I have a good feeling about our success in 2012.”
While the team is happy to have them back in 2012, The Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show isn’t the only sponsor that has supported the team throughout the years, Keener Coatings, Ressler Contracting, Greg Gdovin Concrete Contractors, Industrial Screen Printers of York, Memtec Services, Quaker Race Garage, Kiezer Aluminum Wheels, and Rucker Computer Solutions have all played a major role in keeping the 99M on the track.
Moody Motorsports is extremely grateful for all of its sponsors; however, the team still needs additional help for the 2012 season. If you are interested in sponsoring Moody and the No. 99M please contact him at (717) 586-6724 or cagekart99@aol.com.
