WoO LMS History: Signed as one of original 12 contract drivers when World Racing Group restarted WoO LMS in 2004… Has entered all 197 events of the WoO LMS’s WRG-era (2004-2008), missing only a single feature (failed to qualify on March 14, 2004, at Atomic Speedway in Oak Ridge, Tenn.)… First career WoO LMS victory came on April 23, 2004, at Lernerville Speedway… Finished sixth in ’04 standings with one win to his credit… Improved to fifth in the final ’05 standings, winning three times… Has fared extremely well in WoO LMS events held in upstate New York, winning at Fulton (’05), Rolling Wheels (’05) and Cayuga County (’06 and ‘07)… Has returned to his “home” track – Stateline Speedway in Busti, N.Y., which is minutes from his shop and was once owned by his father – for two WoO LM events but experienced rough nights, finishing 14th (’05) and 15th (’06)… Won three times in ’06 – at Wayne County, Cayuga County and Pennsy’s Tri-City – and placed third in the points standings… Registered series-high six wins in ’07… Contended for points title throughout second half of 2007 season but settled for career-high second-place finish, 126 points behind champion Steve Francis… His six victories in ’07 came in six different states: Delaware, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania… Won 2007 National Interstate Speedweek points championship (races from July 26-28 at Lawrenceburg, Ind.; Eldora, Ohio; and Sharon, Ohio)… Had subpar 2008 season, winning just once (at Lincoln, Ill.) and finishing fifth in the points standings. It marked the first time that he did not improve his final points finish from the previous season… Enters 2009 with 14 career WoO LMS wins, putting him fourth on the tour’s win list since 2004…

Other Racing History: One of the most decorated drivers on the WoO LM tour, Frank started racing locally as a 16-year-old… Became dominant at tracks near his home, winning Stateline/Eriez circuit Limited Late Model titles from 1983-87 and capturing the Stateline Super Late Model championship in 1989 and ’90… Began following STARS (later Renegade DirtCar) series in ‘90s and ultimately became the first driver to win the regional tour’s championship four years in a row (2000-03)… Was 2001 UMP Florida State LM champion… Won prestigious World 100 at Eldora Speedway in 2004… Other major victories include the Winchester (Va.) 200 (1998); Octoberfest 100 at Hagerstown (Md.) Speedway (1998); Pittsburger 100 (2001); Dixie Shootout (2001); North-South 100 at Florence Speedway in Union, Ky. (2002); Hillbilly 100 at West Virginia’s Tyler County Speedway (2003); and the Dirt Track World Championship at Ohio’s K-C Raceway (2007)… Captured four features away from WoO LMS in both 2006 and 2007… Was inducted into the National Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame in 2004 in Masters II category… Successful four-year stint with Lester Buildings as his team’s primary sponsor ended following the 2008 season…

Interesting Facts: Drove packer trucks around his father’s Stateline Speedway when he was just five years old… Long known as the ‘Shoestring Traveler,’ now carries the nickname ‘Chubzilla.’… His given name is Jerry L. Frank. He picked up the name ‘Chub’ while a slightly chubby youngster – to differentiate him from his father (also named Jerry) – and the moniker stuck… Was featured on the July 2006 documentary, Dirt Track Warriors, that was telecast nationally on the CNN cable network… His racing shop was destroyed in a March 2004 fire, but he went racing days later and rebuilt the garage bigger and better… Celebrated 30 years as a race car driver in 2008 – and amazingly, the flip he rode out in April during the Circle Colossal 100 at The Dirt Track @ Lowe’s Motor Speedway was the first rollover he had experienced in his career…
