AJ Flick Ready For 2020; “Apollo Ace” Hoping To Expand Schedule During Season Ahead

Story By: SHAWN BROUSE / AJ FLICK RACING – APOLLO, PA – New season, new car, new suit – and Apollo’s AJ Flick is ready to launch into his 2020 sprint car campaign across Central and Western Pennsylvania aboard his No. 2 machine.

Flick will race regulary on Saturday’s at Port Royal Speedway in the central region while focusing on Lernerville Speedway on Friday nights and at the newly reopened Tri City Speedway in Franklin on Sundays.

“It’s impossible for me to explain how excited I am to climb back into a race car for 2020,” Flick says.

“I’ve thought about it all winter and I’m truly excited to go fast again.”

“We have worked very hard this off-season, like all race teams usually do and our main focus this year is organization,” the 27-year old says.

“The Apollo Ace,” Flick also says that he and the No. 2 team hope to be able to frequent other Central Pa region shows during the weekends more often during the year ahead and he’s counting on the team’s organizational focus to help make that happen.

“I think we will be able to make adjustments quicker and make better decisions to help fine tune our racecar every night,” he says.

“If we can show up to the speedway with the same speed we ended 2019 with, I know we can finish up front.”

“Our preparedness is at a higher level than ever before and I expect that to translate with strong results.”

Last year, Flick recorded several wins including the richest victory and most prestigious of his career worth some $12,000 in the Port Royal Speedway Living Legends Dream Race in August.

The Apollo pilot’s career sprint car win total now stands at 22

Flick was the Lernerville track titlist in 2015, 2017 and 2018.

AJ Flick recognizes how important his support network is, both at the track and in the shop during the off-season and wishes to thank his crew and team for all their hard work: Mark Flick, Doug Flick, Rod Kacin, Dave Ferguson, Jordan Keibler, Dave Brammell, Lura Flick, Ashley Brown, Andy Chelsted, Matt Aland, and Jacob Burkholder.

“Flyin’ AJ Flick” and the No. 2 sprint car team welcome the following new firms into the Flick family of sponsors for the 2020 season: Carlisle Cement Products, Tile and Style Design, MAHLE Pistons and Advance Auto Parts.

The team thanks all of its sponsors for their support in the past and for the season ahead.
