Rick Sibila - Blast From The Past

My new hero in Ohio asphalt racing is quickly becoming Rick Sibila.  Sibila (and his brother Bobby for that matter, who runs in Western OH and IN) possesses the race ethic of days gone by: hands-on involvement in car prep, a willingness to attack any track, and not afraid to run two or more tracks a week.  In a day where it is increasingly common - especially in the asphalt ranks - to run only once a week, Sibila is but a handful of racers seemingly running as often as he can. 

And Sibila is having the kind of year that careers are made of, tearing up the tracks at Barberton on Friday, and Midvale on Saturday. He has closed the gap in Barberton points, in third, and has three feature wins at the tricky track that so many are afraid of.  He is currently leading points at the Smith family showcase, Midvale Speedway, and just recorded his second feature win there last Saturday, a day after winning at Barberton. 

Sibila's penchant for good driving and hard work come naturally, a combination of his parents, driving legend dad Bob Sibila and mom Rindi.

Catch his driving talents weekly at Barberton, Midvale, or quite possibly, a track near you.
