Geisler makes Hills Bros. All-Pro Series debut

 

PITTSBURGH, PA (October 4th, 2002)…Travis Geisler will make his Hills Bros. All-Pro Series debut at Memphis Motorsports Park on October 19, 2002.  Geisler, who won 7 NASCAR Weekly Racing Series (NWRS) late model events at Motordrome Speedway this season, will drive a Lefthander Chassis recently purchased from Hemphill Racing. 

 

After his strong season in the NWRS, Geisler decided to move up to the next level.  “My goal is to make a career in racing and the thought this was a logical next step for me.  Ryan (Hemphill) was able to use his success in the All-Pro series to move on and I hope to be able to do the same.  It is a competitive series and I look forward to this new challenge.” 

 

Geisler, currently a senior majoring in Mechanical Engineering at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, is scheduled to graduate in May of 2003.  Geisler believes his schooling has helped speed his learning curve in racing.  “Racing is a tough sport because there are so many variables, you have to be able to quickly adapt to the new setups.  I believe that my four years of late model racing, coupled with my education, have enabled me to understand the car and what adjustments are needed to make it better.” 

 

Minton & Sons Custom Homes, #1 Cochran Automotive, Anex Warehouse and Distribution, along with AFCO Racing Products, Geisler’s current sponsors, will be features on the red & white #12.  In addition, Moats Enterprises from Nashville will help support the effort.  The Speed Channel will televise the race December 9th at 8pm EST.  For more information about Travis Geisler, visit www.travisgeisler.com.
