Snyder Continues Title Defense

Mick Snyder and the Snyder Motorsports Race Team will continue to defend their Division 3 Championship this weekend at Beech Bend Raceway Park . A solid performance this weekend by the Knoll Gas – Powersource Transportation sponsored Team would move them up into the Top 10 Nationally and second in the division.

“It is hard not to keep thinking about the big picture, but our focus is really on this weekend. We are going to take this one step at a time and hopefully we come out on top. I have a great crew on this car and we have proven we can win races and championships. We need to just stick to our game plan and hope that will be enough to put us in the winner’s circle on Sunday,” said Snyder.

The Division 3 defending champion will be featured in the “On The Run” column of National Dragster in the U.S. Nationals Souvenir Issue #2. Make sure to check out what Mick has to say about his Team, his car and his future in the sport next week.
