AREA AUTO RACING NEWS NEWSMAKER OF THE WEEK OF JUNE 30, 2015

It was a well kept secret, the sale of the Race Of Champions Dirt and Asphalt Series, from Andrew Harpell to Joe Skotnicki.

It was a bolt out of the blue, totally unexpected in its timing and in its principles.

The sale of the RoC could herald a new era of cooperation in both disciplines of the sport. It could strengthen existing alliances, create new ones and grow the sport.

In short, the RoC under Joe Skotnicki could reshape short track racing in the northeast.

It may be the start of something far reaching, making headlines at every turn.

By putting the process in motion for sea change in motorsports, Joe Skotnicki is AARN’s Newsmaker Of The Week for June 30, 2015.
