FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FASTRAK RACING AND ULTIMATE SUPER LATE MODEL SERIES WELCOMES BILL LUPINOS AS VICE PRESIDENT
Carnesville, GA – Today, FASTRAK Companies International LLC would like to announce the hiring of Bill Lupinos as company Vice President.
“I’m really excited for this opportunity; it’s an honor to be chosen by Stan to come in and keep the legacy going and hit the ground running,” commented Lupinos. “It’s time to get some tracks on board and get the touring series back up and running. It’s just going to take a lot of time and work, but I am up for the challenge.”
Bill currently works for Associate Distributors full-time and owns and operates Richmond Raceway in Richmond, KY, and has also successfully owned and operated the Heart of America USLM franchise for the last three years, as well as a successful super stock series.
“I think Bill will do excellent in this position,” commented FASTRAK International, LLC founder, and owner Stan Lester. “We have already proven we can work together since he is the HOA franchise holder.”
Lupinos comes to FASTRAK International with a stellar background in marketing and racing. Lupinos spent sixteen years in marketing with PepsiCo before purchasing Richmond Raceway in Richmond, Kentucky, in 2018. Bill, his wife Stacy, and sons Adam and Aaron can do anything at a track, from grading to running the concession stand, so their understanding of a track’s needs will be an incredible asset to both the weekly and touring tracks.
“Being a marketing guy myself, Bill and I think a lot alike right out of the chute. I truly think this is the guy FASTRAK and ULTIMATE need to lead us well into the future.”
With Stan Lester, President of the company, having had four surgeries in the last five years, it’s time that he works on his health and is serious about it. Bringing Lupinos on as Vice-President will allow Lester to concentrate on his health. Lester will continue to be involved on a limited basis, consulting for the company and working on additional marketing to increase purses and point funds.
"I'm not going anywhere," said Lester. “The last five years have been a little tough. Before I could fully recover from one surgery, it seemed like another one was right in front of me again. I couldn't seem to exercise, walk, and do all the things I did before, and that’s taken a toll on me. So, time to concentrate on that and get me better first, then I can get back to the tracks and enjoy the fans and teams again.”
Lester continued, "I'm not getting any younger. Remember, we've been at this now for almost 20 years.”
Lupinos will officially start on December 3rd with the company. Working remotely from Kentucky and in and out of the corporate office in Georgia. If any tracks are interested in the FASTRAK program for 2023 weekly sanctioning or touring events, please call Bill Lupinos at (917) 697-4776 or at bill@fastrakracing.com.

NC and SC and upstate GA could use another series or at least someone to enforce the rules. The only tracks running crates usually use rules from Crate Racing USA but they don't really check anything. As far as protests go, you never know if you tire samples, fuel samples, etc. are sent to a lab or not. I know of one track that considers a protest on fuel to consist of weighing a sample and checking the color!!! Supposedly there was some underlying circumstances with FASTRAK years ago that caused tracks to drop their sanctioning and I know of a few occasions in the last few years where Mr. Lester made decisions behind the back of the competition director that changed the outcome of the race.
