Chub to Moyer Victory Chassis

[Krooser]

I read a story last year about Chub retiring... When I saw him at the WoO show at Shawano I axed him about it. He didn't know anything about his retirement but his bride chimed in saying she wished he would. Looks like he's having fun so let him race...

Btw he's a great guy from what I can tell...

In Pennsylvania it is against the law to list your business name as "engineering" with out an engineering degree.

So engineers all own their own businesses? funny

So engineers all own their own businesses? funny

Is that what I said? I said in PA you can't list your business as engineering without an engineering degree.. I just asked where he got his degree from... And no not all engineers own their own businesses

I am not claiming nor am I advertising as a professional engineer which requires a 4 year degree and tenure under a professional engineer and licensing from your state. That is totally different. I can use my fictitious name as registered with the state of Pennsylvania just the way it is.

He races and sells tee shirts for a living, not alot of other choices for him. I am not sure if his family has a farming buisness or not, but i was always under the impression it was racing, and thats his only revnue stream.

Not really easy if you raced all your life and now your slow, so you should just quit. I guess you can just quit living too. Car owner, maybe, but most racers like Chub arnt wired to be owners.

I hope, he can get back to good with the new cars. Dont really care what cars.

He has been around race tracks his whole life. His parents owned/partially owned, Stateline and Eriez, or one of the two, can't remember. Started out packing the track and I think the water truck. Don't recall if he started in cadets or thunder cars or stocks.

[Raceready]

His Dad and uncles built Stateline in 1956 and Eriez in 1962. At 4 years old he was steering a pack car around the speedways on dad Jerry Franks lap. At 6 they rigged on up a pack car with a milk carton as a seat so he could maneuver by himself. When his father finally let him race Chub was forced to start dead last in every race because the family didn't want the complainers to whine about favoritism. Despite that he won his very first race in! Also when he was in the process of winning his fifth limited late model championship in a row he was offered a first time fill ride in in an average late model in a high paying show. He was in fact a few laps from winning his very first late model race in his first race in a loaded field but was black flagged because of causing smoke on the track due to a valve cover gasket. People were glad to see him start running with the STARS series because he had won a total of 7 titles in a row at Stateline Speedway! Even Earnhardt or Petty didn't win them all in a row! On the road he finished 3rd in the national points while running all year with only 1 of everything. No extra engine. chassis, or much else which there wasn't room for on the little open trailer. Only 3 spare wheels so the skeleton crew was constantly busting down and remounting the mostly used tires.

Why did you axed him? Chub is more approachable than that!!!!

Thanks man. Why I didn't speak as if I knew the exact details. Knew they were in on them tracks, but details were fuzzy.

Watching him at Raceway 7 with (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) Barton, Bob Close, Brian Ruhlman for a little bit, Markham, was good stuff. Once Nielsen was getting older and sold it off, it's definitely not the same. That guy did great things for Raceway 7.

Chub was the man to beat for sure at Conneaut! Especially during the Aces High years. The fact that he held the win record there for so long was amazing given the fact that he didn't race there full time but only when there wasn't a higher paying race or a STARS event on a Friday night. He and old Dan Armbruster and Todd Andrews fought some good battles for the fans.

You guys are making me miss Raceway 7.

And his Longhorns were named different also.

Big fan of Chub, but I think he's done.

Not sure why it would matter but it seems Chubs downfall began about the time he lost everything in that fire.

[chubfrankfan]

He won the World 100 after the fire when Lester Buildings became a sponsor....I think his downfall started after he had a couple nasty wrecks and lost his nerve.

just another chassis. built off of some one else little tweaks here and there......

Yeah, my Dad and Dan were good friends. Used to race against each other. Dan was big into the online NASCAR racing stuff.

Yeah. When Ron Nielsen had it, it was something special.
