After the first significant snowfall of the winter across Northern
Ohio, many in the area are looking to dig themselves out to get their
racing fix by attending the 2nd Annual Racer's Chili Challenge
presented by the Fremont/Attica Sprint Title and Hoserville Ohio. The
event takes place on Saturday, February 20th at the Ballville Township
Community Hall (1413 W. Cole Rd.) in Fremont, Ohio.

We encourage the local racing community to come out and support this
event with proceeds going towards the 2010 F.A.S.T. point fund and to
help out the injured drivers benevolent fund from the Hoserville Ohio
organization. "Its a great way to do a little bench racing during the
long off-season," stated F.A.S.T. co-founder Bryan Autullo. "We'll
have videos playing of the 2009 season highlights, driver interviews,
show cars, and copies of F.A.S.T., Fremont Speedway & Attica Raceway
Park 2010 schedules. You can also pick up one of the new F.A.S.T.
hoodies while you are there."

Three award-winning teams from the inaugural chili cook-off have
signed up to contend in this year’s event. Currently leading the
divisions in entries is the fans & media division with seven teams
entered including The Racing World, Team Shiets, The King’s Den,
4thturnfreaks, Fremont Speedway, Scoop & Becky and Jake The Snake. 3J
Motorsports, Hammer Motorsports & Colvin Racing make up the 410/305
sprint car division and are all returning competitiors. The late model
& dirt truck division consists of two returning teams in Chuck Roelle
Racing & Schwochow Racing, while Hennig Racing will be stirring their
first pot of chili in competition. If you think you can make a better
chili than these teams can, time is running out to submit your entry
form.

It's the last call for any potential chili team looking to compete in
the second chili cook-off. Just days before the Monday, February 15th
entry deadline, currently three of the five award-winning teams from
the inaugural event are returning to take their shot at the
“People’s Choice Award” chili pot trophy and their choice of
either a $100 Kistler Racing Products gift certificate or $100 cash.
Also, each divisional winner will get a chili pot trophy and a prize
pack from Fremont Speedway, Attica Raceway Park, F.A.S.T. and
Hoserville Ohio.

The Racer's Chili Challenge features a chili cook-off as well as a
beanbag tournament benefiting Hoserville Ohio Injured Driver's
Benevolent Fund. There will be a rock-paper-scissor contest for the
kids, driver autograph sessions, a jalapeno eating contest, and much
more. The KS Sales & Service "Hot Head Jalapeno Eating Contest" will
pay $100 to the winner, $50 for 2nd, and $25 for third this year. The
doors open at 1 PM to the public and costs just $5 at the door and
includes a sample cup for you to taste as many chili entries as you
wish. A $50 gas card will be given away to whomever in attendance
drove the farthest distance to get to the event in Fremont. Last year
a group from Western Pennsylvania took home the prize.

Any race teams looking to enter their car or truck into 8th Annual
Northern Ohio Sprint Car Show (March 19-21) at the Tiffin Mall are
encouraged to attend and sign up with event organizer Steve "Scoop"
Hartzell throughout the day as he serves up his chili to the voters.

There is no entry fee for this contest and your team of two will get
into the event for free. Teams can also enter the beanbag tournament
as long as someone from the team is serving the chili at all times. To
enter simply email the information below to fastondirt@yahoo.com or

enough time to mail the entry form but it can be filled out, scanned,
