Berwick,
PA (9/10/2013)- Following a disappointing weekend in the ARCA
Racing Series, presented by Menards a month ago, Steve Fox of
Hazelton, PA was determined to hit the track once more. He also
had high wishes of a strong finish heading into last weekend’s
Sportscar Vintage Racing Association (SVRA) events at Watkins
Glen and his wishes came true when he scored great finishes all
weekend, including a divisional win.
Steve Fox Forced to Sit Out ARCA Event at
Pocono
Berwick, PA (June 6, 2013)- After thrashing in the garage over
the last few months in anticipation for the upcoming ARCA 200,
presented by Menards, all of the hard work still wasn’t enough
to get Steve Fox and the Universe Racing team on track for this
weekends event at Pocono International Raceway.
“We just ran out of time”, noted Fox, who had high hopes
of scoring his best career finish this Saturday.
“It’s so unfortunate for all of our sponsors and
supporters”, he noted. “If it wasn’t one thing, it was another.
We sent the engine out to be refreshed and we got that back
late. Then there was interference with the bell housing, along
with smaller issues here and there. We’ll get everything worked
out in time for the next Pocono event, but we want to do this
right and not be in a hurry with the risk of overlooking
something”.
Still optimistic about the work that needs to be done,
Fox said, “Like Bill Leverty sang on his latest album, ‘DRIVE’,
I got, got, got no time”.
“We’ll keep working and hopefully the
results show on August 2nd in the Pennsylvania ARCA
125 at Pocono”.
Steve Fox Impressive with Two Podium
Finishes in SVRA Sebring Endurance Classic
Sebring, FL (March 9, 2013)- Once again, Steve Fox of Hazelton,
PA has rejoined with Jim Peruto
to compete in the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association's
"Sebring Endurance Classic" in Sebring, FL. Although Fox
suffered mechanical woes during the event last year, he was
determined to have a better effort this year, and indeed he did.
Fox tested the car on Thursday and had a so-so qualifying
effort on Friday, which prompted changes prior to race day. He
finished out Saturday’s event with a third place finish and then
bettered that feat Sunday with a runner up finish in the Keenen
Motorsports entry.
“The greatest thing about the entire weekend was being able to
have the leader in my sights at the end of the race”, noted Fox.
“We had a really great car, as did Jim (Peruto) in the Trans Am
series race. It’s tool bad that he suffered mechanical issues,
but he did manage to finish 12th.”
With a lift in spirit after the events, Fox looks forward to
the upcoming season and the tracks that it has in store.
“This
will help me for a big 2013, where I’ll be running both ARCA
Racing Series events at Pocono and both ARCA road course races
at New Jersey Motorsports Park and Road America. Our plans
include the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event at Pocono
and hopefully the K & N East Series, but we’re still trying to
find a new marketing partner to make it happen.”

Steve Fox
and Jim Peruto Rejoin for SVRA Sebring Endurance Classic
(February 18, 2013)- With the intend to run more races this
season than years past, Steve Fox of Hazelton, PA has rejoined
with Jim Peruto to once again compete in the Sports Vintage
Racing Association's "Sebring Endurance Classic". The event,
which is held in Sebring, FL, attracts many motorsports
enthusiasts and this season should be no different, as Fox is
fired up for the three-day event.
Like last season, Fox will take to the track in a stockcar
that was formerly driven by 2012 Daytona 500 winner, Matt
Kenseth. The car is a gem of sorts, as it is one of the only
Chevrolets that Kenseth had driven in his NASCAR career.
Fox and Peruto had a great run in the early portion of last
season’s event before a broken panhard bar sidelined the team.
The first day of events will kick off on Friday, March 1st
and will continue through Sunday, March 3. For more information
