Mike Leaty Concludes Successful 2011 Racing Season and looks forward  to 2012
The 2011 racing season came to an end with the running of the US Open at Dunn Tire Raceway park.  Mike brought both the sportsman and modified home with top five finishes and finished out 2011 on a high note.  It was a season of many consistent finishes and a few wins as well.  Mike would like to thank his crew, sponsors, family, and friends for a fun and successful 2011.

 The Northeast Industrial Technologies / MPL Motorsports modified ran the entire Race of Champions Modified tour and other selected events at Dunn Tire Raceway park.  There was a rough stretch in the middle of the season with back to back DNF’s at Shangri La 2 and the Oswego 200 but for the most part the season was a huge success.  At that point in the season we had dropped to the back half of the top 10 in points.  However, with a strong finish to the season, including a win at the Chemung Speedrome we were able to move back up in the final point standings.

We wound up the season 4th in RoC points, had one win, 6 top 5’s, and 10 top 10’s in 12 starts.  We were one mechanical failure, and one
 accident away from contending for a championship.

 2011 marked the first season together for Mike Leaty and the Jeff Deminck lead HJ Motorsports team at Spencer Speedway.  The first year
 together was a huge success as the team competed in 14 events at Spencer Speedway, and one each at Oswego and Dunn Tire Raceway Park
 and never finished outside the top 5!  Add to that a season high 5 victories at Spencer Speedway and a 2nd place finish in the championship
 standings, this will be a team to be reckoned with in 2012.

 The landscape around asphalt modified racing will be changing in 2012.  The RoC modified tour has announced there will be significant rules
 changes for next season and Andy Harpell will be holding some track owner meetings to discuss the direction of modified racing going forward. 
 There will be some testing and rules changes coming in the near future.  Nobody likes change, but these are changes that need to be made for
 the continuation of modified racing going forward.  Leaty Racing has all the equipment necessary heading into 2012 and no matter what the RoC
 Tour and Andy Harpell decide to do we will be there to support his Modified tour.  We will also be selling some cars and building some new ones
 as well.  Stay tuned here for all the exciting off season news as it unfolds and thanks again for checking in with us.
