Farber heads for Englishtown with new sponsor on RPM Pro Mod

Coming off a great qualifying performance and unexpected first round loss at last month’s Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Southern Nationals at Atlanta Dragway, Pro Mod driver Pete Farber is more determined than ever to get back into the winner’s circle this week.

Farber, driver of the supercharged CRC Automotive Brākleen ‘69 Dodge Daytona in NHRA competition, lent his spare motor to fellow driver Kenny Lang (who went on to win the Atlanta event) and is hoping that Lady Luck shines on him this weekend in Englishtown, NJ.

“We are ready! We’ve got two fresh engines ready to go this time around, although the one Kenny won with in Atlanta is back in the car for good karma,” he joked.

Farber’s great attitude and excellent sportsmanship did not go unnoticed, however. As a result, Westminster, Massachusetts-based Earth Solutions, an excavation and heavy equipment company, offered up their support for the team. The new sponsor’s logo will be displayed on Farber’s Daytona for several upcoming NHRA Pro Mod races, as well as a local race in Epping, NH.

“It’s so cool to have a local guy helping out a team like ours on a national level, and we very much appreciate the support they’re providing,” said Farber.  (Slade Tyree photo) [6/4/2015]
