September 1, 2002 – Bear Lake,Pa 

Not everything goes as planed for the team, Chub and the team pulled out of Shinnston WV.  this morning headed for Portsmouth, OH. For the Renegade DirtCar Series race at Portsmouth Raceway Park where owners Boone, Joyce and Tim Coleman along with promoter Max Warnock welcomed the Series back to their semi-banked 3/8ths mile track Sunday for the running of the $15,000 to win "Pepsi 100". While traveling across RT 50 just 10 miles out side of Parkersburg, WV. Chub noticed that the trailer had a problem. Chub made call to Dave Poske for his assistance and Dave started making calls looking for parts. Dale Beitler owner of Davey Johnson’s 19j transporter followed Chub down to Dave Poske’s Performance Parts and unloaded their backup car and loaded the 1* and parts on board with their car and put their backup car in Chub’s trailer where it remained parked for the night. Chub and crew left for Portsmouth with Beitler’s for tonight’s Renegade race. Dave continued to look for parts for Chub. The team will return tonight to Poske’s with Dale Beitler and reload the 1* and try to make the needed repairs to the trailer.

 Chub and the crew arrived at Portsmouth and qualified in 11^th out of 48 cars entered for the “Pepsi 100”. Chub lined up in the 3^rd heat and he finished in 3^rd behind Steve Shaver who won the heat race with Mike Balzano in second, that transfers him into the main event tonight starting 11^th. At the start of the race Chub started carefully making his way thru traffic toward the front, at the ½ way point Chub was in the top 10, Chub managed to finish the 100 lap event in 6^th position, 1 lap down. The top 10 for the Pepsi 100 were 1^st Billy Moyer, 2^nd Jackie Boggs, 3^rd Mike Balzano, 4^th Tim Hitt, 5^th Steve Casebolt, 6^th Chub Frank, 7^th Bart Hartman, 8^th Steve Shaver, 9^th Rod Conley, and 10^th Robbie Blair.
