Tony Leis Salem Advance

Tony Leis Pumped Up for Salem
 
For Immediate Release
 
(9/14/06 - Mooresville, NC) - If you would have told  Wisconsin native Tony 
Leis a few months ago that he would be racing at Salem  Speedway in the ARCA 
RE/MAX Series under the direction of veteran crew chief and  team owner Bob 
Schacht he would have told you that he just works there, at Bob  Schacht 
Motorsports. However, this weekend for the second time in his young ARCA  RE/MAX Series 
career, the first being just a few weeks ago at the Milwaukee  Mile, Leis 
will once again be at the wheel of the Bob Schacht Motorsports entry  for the 
Eddie Gilstrap Motors ARCA Fall Classic.
 
"I'm so excited for this Salem race, says Leis, I'm not sleeping or eating  
well. I've heard so much about Salem from Bob (Schacht) and I've been getting  
some input from Johnny Sauter on driving the track itself. I can't wait to get 
 on the track at Salem I know it's going to be a great opportunity and I'm 
really  looking forward to it." Leis added, "My Mom and Dad are coming from 
Wisconsin  for the race and I really wouldn't have this chance without their 
support and  the support of all of my friends and family."
 
Leis is no stranger to the short tracks, he's been competing on the short  
tracks in the North Carolina area and honed his skills on the short tracks back  
in Wisconsin before making the move to North Carolina where he currently  
resides.
 
With one ARCA RE/MAX Series start to his credit at the Milwaukee Mile, Tony  
finished in the 6th position, mixing it up with some of the biggest names in 
the  series.
 
"Tony did us a really good job at Milwaukee, said Schacht, he showed a lot  
of patience and talent, I don't look for things to be any different this  
weekend. Salem takes a little more diver input, just for the fact that it is a  
short track, but Tony's a good kid and he'll handle it just fine."
 
The Bob Schacht Motorsports Team and driver Tony Leis will be at the Salem  
Speedway in southern Indiana on Saturday, September 16 for the 200 lap, Eddie  
Gilstrap Motors ARCA Fall Classic by Advance Auto Parts. The event is a one 
day  show with practice set for 1:05 to 2:35 PM, Pork Pole Qualifying is set to 
go at  4:00 PM with the green set to wave on the ARCA RE/MAX Series field at 
7:15 PM.  The drivers will participate in an on-track autograph session from 
4:45 to 5:15  PM.
