After 18 years at the helm of Penn Can Speedway in Susquehanna, Pennsylvania, the promotional team of Reed Miller and Al Wilcox are stepping away from the day to day operation of the speedway.

As for a new promoter, Dan Harpell of Kirkwood, New York, will assume promotional duties for the speedway in 2015.

The Wilcox/Miller promotional team ran their first event in the spring of 1997. During their tenure at the helm of the speedway, new buildings were constructed and new walls replaced the old dirt banks and tires. The grandstand was replaced and new lighting was installed.

Miller and Wilcox also started bringing in new divisions and scheduling bigger, higher paying events not previously run at the three-eighths mile oval. The Patriot Sprints, URC Sprints, ARDC Midgets, Short Track Super Series Tour along with the Race of Champions Modified, Sportsman and Street Stock Tours have all competed at Penn Can. The Speedway was a charter member of the RoC Modified Tour and has run races every year, and will continue to do so.

Wilcox and Miller will not be retiring from the sport completely. Wilcox, along with his wife Paula, is the owner of Trackside Products in Endicott, New York. Wilcox plans to continue the operations of his successful business. He will also be servicing local tracks with his parts trailer, and will continue as the local dealer for American Racer Tires and VP Racing Fuels.

Miller will continue on with Penn Can Speedway as a consultant to the new promoter. While not running the day to day operations at the track, Miller will be in the background assisting when needed.

Harpell previously worked at Penn Can serving as Race Director for a number of years before leaving last year to run Yates County Speedway in Dundee, New York. His promotional resume includes early years working for the DIRT organization as Director of Marketing and Public Relations before leaving to take control of the family owned Five Mile Point Speedway, which he ran for 15 years.

He recently became the new promoter of Yates County Speedway, where he completed a successful first season; he plans to continue in that capacity as well in 2015. He also has been the man in charge of track preparation at the Utica Rome Speedway for the last several years.
