Las Vegas, NV – After a nearly six-year hiatus from the racetrack, brothers Shaun and Derek Polack have clinched the 2012 Silver State Championship and are headed to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Championship and the National INEX Championship starting Sunday, March 11.

The pair found early success after getting back behind the wheel since last driving in the 2005 CASCAR series in Western Canada. Just over 10 months ago, Stony Plain, AB native Shaun Polack moved to Las Vegas and entered in a Thunder Roadster at the 3/8 mile oval, known as the Bullring, to run a select few races.

The younger Polack achieved five podium finishes in his first five races, including a feature win and placed 5th in the 2011 Thunder Roadster World Championships in October 2011.

“Racing in the world championship was a very cool experience, you have racers come from all over the country and even down from Canada to one track for the race,” said Shaun. “The cars all have the same spec-motor so everyone is on the same playing field, the cars are incredibly close and the competitiveness is amazing.”

Just a couple of months after Shaun’s success in the Thunder Roadster World Championships, the brothers reunited on the track at the Silver State Championship in Las Vegas on January 28 and 29. The pair dominated the 8 race series, sweeping the top two finishing positions in five events, Derek collected five wins in the eight-race series and Shaun finished 2nd in all five of his older brother’s first-place victories.

The brothers are now looking forward to chasing down the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Championship and the National INEX Championship.

The pair will compete in over 30 different races from March to the end of October.

The first event will take place on the front stretch of the superspeedway immediately following the NASCAR Sprint Cup series on Sunday, March 11th.

“Racing on the same track as NASCAR on Sunday will be exciting and we’re both looking forward to competing in front of a large audience,” said Shaun.
