 (LONG POND, Pa. - July 28, 2010) - If anyone doubted Craig Goess's championship possibilities at the onset of the 2010 season, it's fairly safe to say that the naysayers have been all but silenced. Coming into the late-season homestretch, Goess, driver of the No. 81 Greenville Toyota of NC Toyota for Eddie Sharp Racing, is a man on a mission. Outside of a DNF at Toledo in May, Goess has not finished worse than sixth in his last six outings. Save the sixth place finish at Michigan, a race he nearly won, he's not finished out of the top-five. And, oh yah, he's also second in championship points headed to Pocono Raceway for this Saturday's Weis Markets 125, the same track he earned his career-first victory back in early June.

 (TOLEDO, Ohio - July 25, 2010) - The last time there was a repeat ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards winner at Pocono Raceway was in 2003 when Casey Mears went back-to-back with victories on July 25. The Pocono ARCA 200 was rained out earlier that year in June, so the series returned for a one-day doubleheader in July. Over the years, the list of ARCA Series winners on the storied 2.5-mile triangle in Long Pond, Pa. has been impressive.

On This Day.........
 On July 25, 1958, Bloomington, Illinois' Les Snow won the 100-lap MARC/ARCA-sanctioned race at Berlin Raceway, one of 35 victories Snow earned in ARCA competition in the 1950s and 60s. Snow, in his familiar No. 6 Chevrolet, won from the pole on that day, holding off Nelson Stacy, Iggy Katona and Bob James at the finish. Snow's career-first ARCA win came on May 19th, 1957 on the Lakewood Speedway mile-dirt in Atlanta, Georgia where he won a 150-lap event. His final ARCA win was on July 6, 1969 on the Richmond Speedway dirt in Richmond, Kentucky. Other career highlights for Snow include 500-lap wins at Eldora Speedway (Rossburg OH) and Fairgrounds Motor Speedway (Louisville KY) in 1966, and another 500-lapper at Flat Rock Speedway (MI) in 1965. In one of the closest championship point battles in series history, Snow finished a career-best second in ARCA championship points in 1968, just 20 points away from '68 champ Benny Parsons.

 (TOLEDO, Ohio - July 20, 2010) - Behind every driver is a successful crew chief, or so the adage goes. Of course, those close to the sport of auto racing understand that it takes even more to put together a successful race program. In fact, without a car owner willing to commit the necessary resources, there is no driver-crew chief combo to begin with.
At the end of the day, it takes all three components, and then some, to make it all happen. While the driver typically receives the lion's share of the headlines, the men and women who steer these 3400-lb ARCA cars understand just how important a crew chief can be to the team's overall success.
