22 Years and Still Going Strong.....

          In 1987, the Mike Loney racing team was formed. Mike began racing in the later part of the summer of 1987 in the street stock division. The next year was the team’s first full racing season. Mike began racing at Moc-A-Tek Speedway in Lakeville, Pa and this is where he stayed for many years gaining valuable experience as a driver. In 1993 and 1996 Mike was crowned the Moc-A-Tek Speedway Street Stock Champion. Mike continued to run at Moc-A-Tek but, also began competing at new tracks including Penn-Can Speedway in Susquehanna, Pa. In 1998 Mike won the title of Penn-Can Speedway Street Stock Champion. During the 1999 racing season Mike ventured to tracks throughout Pennsylvania, New York and a track in Canada while following the Pro Stock DIRT Series. Mike went on to finish a respectable 11th in points in this series. Mike returned to Moc-A-Tek Speedway in 2000 and 2001 where he went on to win two more consecutive street stock championships.
         

          In 2002, Mike and the team decided they would like to try the Sportsman division. Mike raced his first season in the Sportsman division at Moc-A-Tek Speedway where he  captured his first Sportsman win and go on to finish 3rd in points. Mike continued racing in the Sportsman division at various tracks. In 2006 Mike won the title of Penn-Can Speedway Sportsman Champion. The next season Mike followed the Sportsman ROC (Race of Champions) series and went on to win the title of  DART DIRT  Sportsman Tour South Champion and finish 3rd in points overall.  Mike also ran the ROC series in 2008 and finished 4th in points. In 2008, Mike began racing at Big Diamond Raceway in Minersville, Pa. Mike finished 4th in points during his first year of racing there and won the Sportsman Rookie of the Year award at the track. In 2009, Mike won 1 Feature, The Coal Cracker 50, and finished 2nd in Points. 

          During the 2010 racing season you can see Mike race at Big Diamond Raceway every Friday night in the Sportsman division and select races throughout the area.

          Mike would like to thank all of the people who have helped him during his racing career. He is now entering his 23rd racing season. Without the help of those around him, Mike would not be where he is today. Thank you to his family, friends, sponsors and everyone along the way who has given Mike support. Racing is a special sport and Mike has met truly amazing people during this journey. Hopefully, the team can enjoy many more years of racing together!
