 TRENTON, NJ December 20,2014 . . .  Day two of the Battle Of Trenton indoor auto racing weekend inside Sun National Bank Center Saturday will feature Three Quarter Midgets, which raced the night before with Erick Rudolph and Ted Christopher winning the Twin Twenty lap features and the Lentini Auto Salvage Slingshots, ‘in the house’ for their first and only night of competition.

 Two dozen Slingshot drivers and teams have signed in for the Saturday night racing with practice set to begin at 2:00 p.m.

“The car was just about perfect yesterday but it can always be a little better,” said second TQ feature winner Christopher.  “I wasn’t using all the car had.”

“Once I found that the car would work on the outside and make a pass, I knew I could take the lead from Joey (Payne),” Rudolph, first TQ feature victor said.

 Among the favorites for the Slingshot feature victory Saturday night are proven Wall Stadium Sportsman drivers Nick Shaw and Matt Langbein, Mahoning Valley Dirt/Asphalt driver Ricky Yetter, Matt Carman, whose family owns Lentini Auto Salvage which is the Slingshot division sponsor, and Gary Hieber, who is a past indoor Slingshot race winner.

Tickets remain available for the Saturday night Battle Of Trenton at the Sun National Bank Center box office. Racing starts at 7:00 p.m. with TQ heat and Slingshot heat races.
