  • IRS probes OXYwater founders: Two local entrepreneurs who came up with an oxygen-enhanced water that landed a NASCAR sponsorship are in trouble with the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS is investigating Preston J. Harrison, a former Ohio State University football player, and Thomas E. Jackson Jr., founders of a Westerville business that makes and distributes OXYwater. An affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Columbus says that IRS agents recently seized a 2009 Cadillac, a 2009 BMW and a bank account as part of an investigation into the financial dealings of Imperial Integrated Health Research and Development at 470 Olde Worthington Rd., Suite 200. Harrison and Jackson are the founders of Imperial Integrated. The allegation is that they funneled investors' money into their personal bank accounts and into another company. As of yesterday, no charges had been filed. Possible charges, according to the affidavit, are wire fraud and money laundering. The affidavit says that Harrison, 41, of 3071 Willow Springs Court, Lewis Center, and Jackson, whose address and age were unavailable, borrowed $5 million from more than 10 people and one company to produce OXYwater beginning in 2011. The investors included several professional basketball players in Europe. A year later, the court record says, several investors became worried about where their money was going and hired a lawyer. That attorney, who is not named in the affidavit, supposedly learned that the company's tax returns grossly underestimated the amount investors had paid into the company. This month, a three-year sponsorship agreement between NASCAR's FAS Lane Racing team and OXYwater was announced. FAS Lane's #32 Ford Fusion in NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series sports the company's name. Terry Labonte, Ken Schrader and Timmy Hill alternate as drivers.(Columbus Dispatch)(3-28-2013)

  • Timmy Hill making 2013 debut in California: Timmy Hill will make his first 2013 series start on Sunday, March 24th, in the Auto Club 400 at Auto Club Speedway. He will pilot the FAS Lane Racing #32 OXYwater Ford Fusion. "I've had quick success with FAS Lane Racing in the three 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series starts," said Hill. "We all gelled right away last year and we are all optimistic on what the 2013 season will bring." Hill will be racing 18 to 20 races of the 36-race schedule in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, splitting seat time with veteran NASCAR drivers Ken Schrader and Terry Labonte. Hill is a Rookie of the Year contender. "We have our eye on that Rookie of the Year award, but the main thing is for me to continue to grow as a driver and we as a team continue to improve each week. If last year's starts I had with FAS Lane Racing and this year's team performance is any indication, we should have a very successful season."(Hill PR)(3-19-2013)

  • Sponsor for FAS Lane Racing? UPDATE: An update posted to the #32-FAS Lane Racing Facebook page Monday evening states, "Been quiet working on good things. Looks like we have a commitment for a full time sponsor, with a three year deal. This week we are working on a plan to really improve our program. Be patient with us, we are trying and there is no lack of effort by anyone. Don't give up on us".(3-12-2013)

  • KOMA Unwind Relaxation Drink Joins FAS Lane Racing: Bebida Beverage Company (BeBevCo.) confirmed that they have reunited with FAS Lane Racing to become an associate sponsor on the team's #32 Ford Fusion for the 55th running of the Daytona 500. The team will promote the company's quickly-growing and popular KOMA Unwind Relaxation Drink brand on their #32 Ford Fusion. The event will mark the first race that KOMA Unwind has backed Labonte. KOMA Unwind relaxes those who drink it. The two-time Sprint Cup champion will rewrite the record books in the season-opener surpassing former rival Bill Elliott for the most starts at Daytona (Fla.)

He will pass Bill Elliott, who currently has 60 starts at Daytona International Speedway. Labonte made his first Daytona 500 start in 1979. Labonte is also the driver with the most top-10 finishes at Daytona International Speedway, with 26.(FAS Lane Racing), see an image of the car on the #32 team paint schemes page.(2-8-2013)

  • Some rides for 2013 still up in the air: A year ago at this time, dominoes seemed to be tumbling all over the NASCAR world. Kurt Busch's departure from Penske Racing led to AJ Allmendinger's move from Richard Petty Motorsports to Penske, followed by Aric Almirola's move to replace Allmendinger at RPM. It seemed like there was a move or two every day, and the news was endless. This year? Not so much. Aside from a couple lower-series moves there haven't been many post-Homestead driver changes. [But there are some] possible open seats at full-time teams
    BK Racing: There's no reason Landon Cassill and Travis Kvapil wouldn't return to BK Racing in 2013, but the team hasn't finalized its drivers for the #83 and 93 cars yet.
    Tommy Baldwin Racing: It seems likely #36-Dave Blaney will return next season, but it hasn't been announced.
    Phil Parsons Racing: Will Michael McDowell return to the #98 car? It hasn't been made official yet if so.
    FAS Lane Racing: Ken Schrader will be in the #32 car for select races, and the remaining schedule will be filled by yet-to-be-named drivers.
    Joe Falk Motorsports: Stephen Leicht won rookie of the year honors for the #33 car. The team's 2013 lineup has not been announced.
    Phoenix Racing: Will Phoenix Racing even come back in 2013? It's not certain team owner James Finch will return, and what driver will be behind the wheel if he does.(SBNation) See information on all Sprint Cup teams on the 2013 Team / Driver chart page.(12-18-2012)

  • Schrader to drive for FAS Lane Racing in 2013: Short-track and NASCAR racing veteran Ken Schrader shared the stage in the SPEED SPORT Industry Center Friday afternoon at the IMIS trade show with fellow short track racers Brad Doty, Jimmy Horton and Shane Carson. While all four shared entertaining stories that left a standing-room crowd laughing out loud, Schrader's typical antics provided more than a few belly laughs with lines that shouldn't be repeated in most circles. But Schrader not only talked about the cars he's wrecked, the races he's won and the beer he has drank, but discussed his plans for the coming season. The 57-year-old Schrader, who drove Frank Stoddard's #32 in 13 races in 2012, says he will be back behind the wheel of that NASCAR Sprint Cup Series car in 10 races next season. "We run 28th or 32nd most of the time, but we still have fun out there racing, well, I guess we have fun out there running around," Schrader said. "We're going to run 10 races next year. The only bad thing about that is that it shoots the hell out of 10 weekends that we could be out running the modified somewhere." Schrader will also travel the Midwest with his modified as has became his annual trek of summer. But he also has also added a new race to his 2013 calendar. "We're putting a truck together to go over and run the race at Eldora," said Schrader of the July 24 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Ohio's Eldora Speedway. It will be the first race for the series on a dirt track.(National Speed Sport News)(12-10-2012)
