Elma, NY  — The weekend of October 23rd will be jam packed for the Eaton/Aeroquip backed Mike Janis Racing Team. Not only will Friday night mark the conclusion of the 2009 season with Janis competing in the ultra competitive Speedtech Battle for the Belts, Saturday will mark the beginning of the 2010 National Guard ADRL season and to add to an already busy race weekend the Eaton/Aeroquip team will be hosting guests in a hospitality area adjacent to the team’s pit.

With the 2009 ADRL title on the line Friday night the Eaton/Aeroquip backed team is planning a no holds barred attack on the Pro Extreme competition. A win Friday night will secure the 2009 ADRL Pro Extreme title for the Eaton/Aeroquip backed team. In preparation for the event the Janis team left their Elma, NY shop several days early, headed to Texas for a well needed test session.

“We’re looking at Friday as an all or nothing race. We’replanning on giving her whatever it’ll take to get the job done. We’re leaving nothing on the table,” said Crew Chief, Mike Janis Jr.

On Saturday morning Team Owner/Driver, Mike Janis and his Crew Chief, Mike Janis Jr., will take part in a brief question and answer period with a group from the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). Later in the day the Eaton/Aeroquip team will welcome employees from both the Peterbilt and Waste Management companies. Guests will have a close up view of between round maintenance and the entire goings on in the Mike Janis Racing pits.

Once Saturday’s racing schedule begins the team will begin their run at the 2010 ADRL National Guard Championship.
