7X World Formula
This 24 year old will be starting his 3rd season of racing and is planning on running the entire World Formula Modified Tour in his 2007 Bark World Formula Powered number 7x. He started his career in 2006, racing part time at Hamlin speedway. He was the World Formula Rookie of the year in 2007 and is looking to take the tours title this year. With one World Formula tour win at Hamlin on 8/11/2007 under his belt, he has proven he can take the checkers. The only question left unanswered is how many.
Ben is no stranger when it comes to winning, he was a key part of 3 consecutive cross country conference championships won at Keystone College. A 10 time college record holder in track and field, 5 time NCAA academic all conference athlete.
In his spare time he continues to go fast on his Yamaha R6, so that guy running past you, that orange streak at the track and that red blur on the highway, That's all Ben! Apparently the only time he sits down is when he is attending a Phillies, Flyers, 76ers, Eagles game or at work. He also works in the Athletics department at Villanova University and is also a dean's list grad student at Temple University.
Ben's love for racing seems to have stemmed from his fond memories drag racing with his dad who raced a 74 Vega with a 550hp small block 350. Running at Numidia Raceway, in central PA, and Island Dragway in northern Jersey as often as they could . Now he hopes he can get his dad to come out to watch a race.
