2012 Press Release
March 26, 2012

Bobby Gunther Walsh will be returning for his eighteenth season of racing at Grandview Speedway, and his fourth year of racing at Penn Can. Once again, Gunther’s CMS powered Bicknell modifieds will be sporting the #1. But this year the #1 represents Altronics Security Systems, #1 for residential and commercial security in the Lehigh Valley.

Altronics Security Systems has their own UL Listed local central monitoring station, where amazing technology produces a documented response time in the single digits. That’s how fast they have help on the way to your emergency. New this year is the Altronics MVP – Medical Voice Pendant, the only medical alert system where the talk-back speaker is on the pendant, and not on the wall of your home. It’s also the only medical alert system that works inside AND outside your home.

New sponsors on the team this year are Paul Wright Roofing, Trefoil, Chocolate Fantasy Fountains, Herr’s, GMH/The Mortgage Company, and Delta Medix.

You can find out more about all of Bobby’s sponsors right now at guntherracing.com.

Bobby’s looking forward to another year of fun at two tracks. He plans on racing every Saturday night at Grandview Speedway and is returning this year to Penn Can Speedway on Friday nights.

Joining Bobby on Saturday nights at Grandview Speedway is Crew Chief Brian Kriebel, and crew members Scott Romig, Barry Skriletz and Bobby’s brother Joe Walsh. This year at Penn Can it’s a family effort. Crew Chief Stacy Fritch is joined on the crew by members of Gunther’s family. Bobby’s bother Joe, his dad Joe, and his nephew Mark Kohler will help out with the 2012 season.

In 2009 Bobby ran his first season at Penn Can Speedway. Penn Can is where he has the most fun racing, and perhaps it’s because it’s where he enjoys the most success. Last year he had the best feature finish of his racing career, when he brought home a 4th place towards the end of the season. He has had three solid years there and is looking forward to a fourth.

At the extremely competitive Grandview Speedway, 2011 started slow but after Bobby got his new 2011 Troyer dialed in he made 6 of the last 7 features of the year. He’s hoping for a more consistent performance in 2012.

Bobby’s looking forward to another year of fun at two tracks. He plans on racing every Saturday night at Grandview Speedway and is returning this year to Penn Can Speedway on Friday nights.

Joining Bobby on Saturday nights at Grandview Speedway is Crew Chief Brian Kriebel, and crew members Scott Romig, Barry Skriletz, and Bobby’s brother Joe Walsh. This year at Penn Can it’s a family effort. Crew Chief Stacy Fritch is joined on the crew by members of Gunther’s family. Bobby’s bother Joe, his dad Joe, his nephew Mark Kohler, and , Scott Koenig will help out with the 2011 season.

In 2009 Bobby ran his first season at Penn Can Speedway. He won two heat races, made all but two features, and considered it a good first year. In 2010 he made all but one feature, won two heat races and finished 14th in points. Penn Can is where he is having the most fun and the most success racing and he is really looking forward to a third season!

A the extremely competitive Grandview Speedway, Bobby had his second best year ever in 2009, and to top it off made the Forrest Roger’s Memorial, and the Freedom 76′r. In 2010 however, it was a struggle, and to right the ship in 2011 he has purchased a 2011 Troyer Chassis and is having it prepared by Keith Hoffman and Hoffman Speed Supplies. They have done a great job for him on his Friday night cars over the years, and it seemed like a logical choice. Gunther goes into 2011 at Grandview the most optimistic he’s ever been.
