CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Penn. (April 8) - 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.
