2010 Modified Champion- “Hurricane” Earl Paules
From Championship Program at Sundance banquet
By: Gene Ostrowski
 
 It was no surprise that “Hurricane” Earl Paules of Palmerton stormed into Sundance Vacations Speedway on opening day and took the victory. However, it was surprising to see the Modified ace compete each and every time the division ran, en route to clinching the first track championship of his career.
  Paules will be the first to tell you, putting on a show for the fans is fun but in the end it’s all about the paycheck. That’s the attitude that carried him to 5 Sundance wins this season, including a $5000 victory in the spring. Including those Sundance wins, Paules had 12 overall victories this season combined.
  Unlike many of his competitors, Paules got onto the racing scene through enduro racing. He was the driver to beat for years and during that time he took an array of big money paying enduro events. Many of them had upwards of 200+ cars that took the green flag. Following the decline of enduro racing, Paules took a break from racing and then returned with a Modified.
  Paules, a former Race of Champions champion, had a special agenda heading into 2010 and with big money races at the two tracks near his residence it only seemed fitting not to travel much this season and hang around home to race. The decision paid off and even though he had to race at both tracks on the same day to make it happen, he maintained the points lead and with his 7th place finish at the season ending “King of the Mountain” became a Modified champion.
  Each and every time he’s in victory lane Paules praises his sponsors and supporters, which include Ed Spencer from Ed Spencers Auto Parts, John Schneider from Schneider and Sons, Kenny from H & S Enterprises and Kerry Paules from Blue Ridge Service Center.
 His hard working crew with the never give up attitude is made up of his fiancee, Danielle Kishbaugh, Bruce Miller, Derek and Lacey Barachie, Todd Geist, Cody Geist, Nik Heck all the employees at Paules Metal Works.
 Extended lap Modified events with a big payout near his residence is what kept Paules from traveling this season. If that trend continues into next season it is very much possible that fans may see Paules try for the repeat championship in 2011. (Artwork by Kevin Green)
 
Paules Notches Fall Fling Final Win at Shangri-La 2
(10/24/2010)- The Zacharias family from Candor, N.Y. leased Shangri-la 2 Speedway for what they billed as the Fall Fling Final. They secured sponsorship for a three-division event in a matter of days and held the event with no paid advertising. Word of mouth and social marketing worked, bringing in a nice field of cars on an iffy day, weather-wise. When it was over Earl Paules and Bryan Sherwood had won the Sportsman Modified races, Lee Sharpsteen and Jim Yamelski took the Street/Super Stock trophies, and Mike Alcaro won in the INEX Legends division. Much of the crew had been with the Zacharias family at the original Shangri-la and they welcomed the opportunity to work together again at the new facility.
The twin 35-lap features for the Sportsman Modifieds were fraternal, as neither resembled the other. Earl Paules and Bryan Sherwood left as winners, with Sherwood edging Scott Adams by one point for the overall win. Read More
