February 11, 2014 (Fonda, NY) – Pro Stocks provide some of the best racing on dirt in the Northeast, which keeps full fender fans begging for more. Pairing them with their big sister Basement Systems KoD Crate Sportsman series was a natural for all involved. Now courtesy of successful business and car owner Joe Lazzaro the Pro Stock Division has its title sponsor.

“I contacted Joe about coming aboard with the Pro Stock division, because I know he has had a long history of supporting the full fender division. Some of the guys that race for him say it’s his favorite division. I explained how we’re distributing the sponsor money for each race and he was all for sponsoring the July race at Albany-Saratoga, giving all three Pro Stock races a presenting sponsor,” said KoD promoter Rob Hazer.

Since 1976 Lazzaro’s Auto Body located in Green Island New York has been specializing in complete collision services on all foreign and domestic automobiles. Free estimates, unibody repair, refinish work, frame straightening, commercial truck repair, classic car and truck restoration, and 24-hour towing are just a few popular services they offer. Lazzaro’s Auto Body can be found on online at www.lazzarosautobody.com.

JLR Motorsports also fields Scott Duell’s open wheel car along with a host of Pro Stocks owned or sponsored by including Kim Duell, Byron Wescott, Dan Older, Pete Broderson, and Rob Yetman. Lazzaro’s is a proud sponsor of the Albany-Saratoga Speedway and his name can be seen on multiple cars each week in and around the Capital Region.

Fonda Speedway is where the Lazzaro’s Auto Body King Of Dirt Pro Stock Series can be found first on Saturday April 11th presented by Stone Motorsports & Auto Sales for the ‘Hood Popper’ season opener. 30-laps of door-to-door action rewarding the Pro Stock drivers $750 to win and $50 to take the green will accompany a full program of racing that evening before heading to Malta, NY.

Friday July 3rd is the second installment of the Lazzaro’s Auto Body King Of Dirt Pro Stock Series presented by JLR Motorsports at the great race place Albany-Saratoga Speedway for the ‘Full Fender Firecracker’ 30-lap event paying $750 to win and $50 to take the green. Also on the card that evening is a full schedule of racing and fireworks.

The season finale for the Lazzaro’s Auto Body King Of Dirt Pro Stock Series visits Lebanon Valley Speedway Saturday August 29th for the ‘Valley Of Champions’ 30-lap title showdown paying $750 to win and $50 to take the green. It accompanies a full regular show of all weekly divisions and will not interfere with weekly points.

“We’re really excited to have Joe on board for the Pro Stock guys. His dedication to the Pro Stock division is driven by his love for the cars. It was a popular choice to have his name title sponsor the KoD Pro Stock Series to go along with our other great Pro Stock sponsors such as Speed’s Garage, Robbie Speed, Nick Stone, and Stone Motorsports & Auto Sales,” continued KoD Promoter Rob Hazer.

Lazzaro’s Auto Body has put up a gracious monetary number for the Pro Stock division to kick-start the point fund to go along with the entry fee capital raised. At the year-end banquet the top five drivers in King Of Dirt Pro Stock points will share in the money.

“Joe did for the Pro Stocks what Basement Systems and Todd Lutinski did for the Sportsman. He kick started our point fund and I’m confident that with the entry fee money raised along with Lazzaro’s sponsorship that the top five in Pro Stock points will be very appreciative. Next year we’ll work to grow it to more races and paying more money through more spots,” concluded KoD promoter Rob Hazer.

Basement Systems King Of Dirt Crate Sportsman Series and Lazzaro’s Auto Body King Of Dirt Pro Stock Series continue to take shape, while remaining dedicated to the drivers, loyal to supporters, and committed to the tracks. Open the season with the sights and sounds of the track of champions April 4, 2015 for the Ice Melt running 30 laps of wheel-to-wheel Crate Sportsman racing for $1,000 to win and $100 to take the green.
