Hellertown Pennsylvania’s Rick Laubach will be returning to the Bridgeport Speedway in 2012. Laubach is no stranger to the lightning fast 5/8 mile speedway. For many years Laubach was a front runner and frequent winner at the Logan Township New Jersey oval.

In 2009 Rick’s racing took him to the New Egypt Speedway in New Egypt, NJ. In his quest there he won both the 2009 and 2010 Big Block Modified Championships. Laubach finished second in points to 2011 Track Champion Billy Pauch with 2 feature wins to his credit.

This year Rick will once again be piloting the potent Gary and Lori Herman Benton Electric, Beer City, Teo Pro Car Big Block Modified #7 but the venue will be different. Bridgeport, a place familiar to both Laubach and the Hermans should be the perfect spot for them to seek their First Championship as a team.

After a successful Florida Tour in February, Rick’s season kicks off on Friday and Saturday March 16^th &17^th at Selinsgrove Speedways "IceBreaker" event. Rick will then travel to New Egypt on March 24^th for their opening event of the season. Laubach’s first Bridgeport appearance will be Saturday March 31 for Hand One of Promoter Doug Hoffman’s "Poker Series".

Rick will also return to the Big Diamond Raceway in Minersville,Pa. on Friday nights in 2012. The Herman #7 Small Block Modified will be ready to race for the championship in the 358 Modified Division. Rick finished a close second (15 pts) to track champion Jeff Strunk with 2 wins to his credit in 2011. Rick also won the 2011 American Racer Cup Points at Big Diamond Raceway.

Also on the Rick’s agenda for 2012 is the Race Of Champion Dirt Series and several special events throughout the season.
