Pifer Stifled by Fuel Trouble in First Race of 2015
MERCER, Pa. – Over a long Pennsylvania winter made even longer by multiple weather-forced cancellations, Darren Pifer was finally able to get his season underway at Mercer Raceway Park, though without the result they were looking for.
20 cars signed in for the Outlaw Sprint Warrior 305 division at the three-eighth-mile Pennsylvania oval; Pifer was set to start the first of two heat races from outside of the front row. On the start, he fell to fourth, where he’d run for the remainder of the eight-lap race.
After a redraw for starting position for the 20-lap feature, Pifer would take the green flag from 12th on the grid. He’d ride in the 12th spot for the first six laps before taking the No. 23 J&J back to the trailer with fuel issues, stating that the fuel pill was forcing the engine to burn too rich, thus hindering performance. “We will get it figured out and be back next week,” Pifer assured after the race. “It’s just good to be back in a race car again.”
Pifer would like to thank Niagara Cutter, Seco Tools, Jeane Pifer Photography, Good’s Auto Body, and Betram Motorsports, as well as his family and fans for their continued support.
Pifer is next scheduled to compete on April 25 at Mercer Raceway Park in Mercer, Pennsylvania in the No. 23 305ci Sprint entry.
Quick Results
April 18 – Mercer, PA – 305ci Winged Sprint – Heat: 4th (2); Feature: 15th (12)
2015 Stats
1 race, 0 wins, 0 top fives, 0 top tens, 1 DNF

Pifer Preps For Indoor Kart Championships
WILLIAMSTON, N.C. – Though Darren Pifer was named The Dirt Network’s “Spirit Award” winner last month, the terms of the selection are less than ideal. Nonetheless, the determination and heart that Pifer and his family have shown in the months after his terrifying encounter with a fire in the cockpit of his 305 RaceSaver sprint car are heroic. Rather than turn away from motorsports, in which he’s competed in nearly all his life, he came back in a matter of weeks.
Unluckily, he bad luck persisted throughout the last few races of the season after his comeback, and his 2014 season is finished. However, before Pifer gets back on track in the sprint car for his second season in 2015, he’ll heading to Williamston, North Carolina’s Senator Bob Martin Eastern Agricultural Center for the 7th Annual Indoor Dirt Karting Championships on January 9-10, 2015.
This year marks the third time that the Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania native will be in action at the event, which features a class paying $3000 to win, and two more classes paying $1000 to win. Pifer plans to race in one of the $1000 classes, the flathead pro heavy class. In addition, he’ll compete in the flathead super heavy and animal heavy classes that offer $500 to the winner of each class, as well as the animal super heavy division that will pay $300 to the feature winner.
Pifer would like to thank Jeane Pifer Photography, Betram Motorsports, Simpson Race Products, Hinchman Indy, and ButlerBuilt, as well as his family and fans for their continued support.
