RPM Fabrication and Onderko Motorsports for 2010

 

03-01-10 - Justin Onderko and the Onderko Motorsports team are currently getting ready for the 2010 Late Model racing season. This year, however, is a little bit different. Not only will Justin be competing in Onderko Motorsports prepared cars, but he has recently signed with RPM Fabrication Inc. to drive their #58 Late Model at Sundance Vacations Speedway in Hazleton, Pa.

2009 held some bright spots for the Onderko Motorsports team, including 2 heat race wins at Sundance Vacations Speedway and a 6th place debut in the ASA Late Model racing series at Shangri La II, located in Owego, NY. “Last year we turned a corner in our entire program,” Onderko continued, “everything from our chassis department, to our engine package.” While the team continues to expand, they have decided to keep their engines locally prepared. “Barry Ober, of Ober Performance in Lititz, Pa, builds a great motor, we see no reason to change,” Onderko’s crew chief, Michael, stated, “They will also power the RPM’s #58.”

The upgrades in resources have resulted in better on track performances as well. “The car is fast right off the trailer, and that certainly helps. Its made it easier on the entire crew,” stated Justin, last year at the NELMA 100, “we’ve all been doing a better job.”

They certainly have, and that extra effort has caught the eyes of Joe Polny and Tiffany Harmon, owners of RPM Fabrication Inc. “Justin and I were talking at the end of the ’09 season and I told him to come up and see our cars, maybe we could work something out.” said Polny. After a meeting in November the two recently sat down to finalize the contract that would place Justin as the pilot of the #58. “Joe has always prepared great cars, he is definitely a contender wherever he goes,” Justin said. Harmon, co-owner of the #58 stated, “We noticed Justin takes care of his equipment, and that’s a big part of this sport, to be around at the end of the race.

The two are looking to be more than contenders this upcoming year. They have announced plans to run for the Late Model Championship at Sundance Vacations Speedway. There is plenty of work to do to get ready for the season but both Polny and Onderko are anxious to get started. The opening weekend is April 17-18 with qualifying set for Saturday the 17th and the first race of the year slated for Sunday the 18th.
