J Fuels, in collaboration with NinetyFive Motorsports, is announcing a tribute in memory of fallen officers Detective Mark Baker, Detective Sgt. Cody Becker, and Detective Isaiah Emenheiser, who tragically lost their lives in the line of duty on September 17, 2025, in York County, Pennsylvania.  All three men were members of the Northern York County Regional Police Department.

Two other officers were wounded during the incident and are recovering from their injuries.  One of the two officers wounded in the September 17, 2025, ambush in York County, PA, was a detective from the Northern York County Regional Police Department. The other was Lieutenant David Godfrey, a deputy with the York County Sheriff’s Office. The two wounded officers, along with three detectives who were killed, were shot while serving a warrant in North Codorus Township.

J Fuels and NinetyFive Motorsports will feature a commemorative wing on the team’s No.95 sprint car during the National Open at Williams Grove Speedway on October 3rd and 4th, 2025.  The right side wing panel will carry the emblem of the Northern York County Regional Police Department.  The left side wing panel will carry the logo of the York County Sheriff’s Office.

“Sadly, our community has been affected by another tragedy,” Jimmy O’Brien, owner of J Fuels, shared, referring to the most recent incident in addition to the loss of Patrolman Andrew Duarte earlier this year in an active shooter incident at UPMC Memorial Hospital in York, PA, on February 22, 2025.

“My wife and I are community-minded people, and that’s how we run our business as well.  We are a part of this community, and we sincerely feel compelled to help in times of need.  Similar to how we did our best to help when Patrolman Duarte was taken from us too soon, we want to partner with NinetyFive Motorsports to pay tribute to these men who served our community.  

O’Brien’s goal is to use the race team to raise funds to donate to the Northern York County Regional Police Department.  The funds raised will go to the “Honor Their Service” portal, which supports the families of the three fallen officers and both injured officers affected by this tragedy.

J Fuels and NinetyFive Motorsports will offer chances to win the tribute wing panels from the team’s race car in exchange for donations.

“I am sincerely grateful to everyone who is helping us with this tribute to honor these men,” O’Brien shared.

“I want to thank Brewer Home Improvements, Addicted2Dirt PR, and SpeedComm for jumping in to help.” 

A donation of $5 is required for one chance, or five chances can be earned for a $20 donation.  All donations will go to the Northern York County Regional Police Department’s “Honor Their Service” portal.   Donations for chances at the wing panels will be collected through October 11, 2025.

Two winners will be chosen on October 12th.  The first winner selected will get their choice between the two wing panels.  The second winner will receive the remaining wing panel.

The wing panels can be delivered to the winners within a 1-hour radius of York, PA, at no additional cost. Given that the wing will be used during races, its condition isn’t guaranteed.

To donate and get chances to win a wing panel, fans should visit the NinetyFive Motorsports merchandise trailer in the infield at Williams Grove Speedway during the National Open event on October 3rd and 4th.  Jimmy and Jessica O’Brien of J Fuels will be at the team’s merchandise trailer both nights to assist fans.

In addition to the in-person option at the merchandise trailer, those interested in donating to the cause for a chance to win one of the two tribute wing panels can do so via any of the following methods.  Name and phone number must be provided via all methods.

  • Cash: To J Fuels representatives
  • Check: Payable to J Fuels, mailed to PO Box 405, York New Salem, PA 17371 
  • Venmo: J Fuels for a Cause (include your name & phone number in the “What’s This For?” section)

A QR code is available to make it easy for fans to use the J Fuels for a Cause Venmo option.  The scannable code will be available at the NinetyFive Motorsports merchandise trailer.

Please join J Fuels, NinetyFive Motorsports, and the racing community in celebrating the life and legacy of these officers and in supporting their families through this heartfelt tribute.

Follow the J Fuels Facebook page for updates on the fundraiser.  For more information, please contact:  Jimmy O’Brien Jr. & Jess O’Brien at 717-793-7659.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

York, PA – June 9, 2025

J Fuels, in collaboration with NinetyFive Motorsports, is proud to announce a tribute and fundraiser in memory of the Late Patrolman Andrew William Duarte, who tragically lost his life in the line of duty while courageously responding to an active shooter incident on February 22, 2025.

Patrolman Andrew Duarte was a dedicated officer with the West York Borough Police Department. He had over seven years of service, including time with the Denver Police Department. He was known for his commitment to public safety and community well-being. In 2021, Patrolman Duarte received the prestigious Hero of the Year award from Mothers Against Drunk Driving for his efforts in combating impaired driving.

J Fuels and NinetyFive Motorsports will host a tribute throughout Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek.  Beginning at BAPS Motor Speedway on June 29th, this special event will feature a commemorative wing adorned with the West York Borough Police emblem and Officer Duarte’s details.

COMMUNITY IMPACT

“Our community was deeply affected by the tragedy that struck Patrolman Duarte, happening so close to home. Initially, I felt compelled to do something meaningful, but wasn’t sure how to proceed,” explained Jimmy O’Brien, owner of J Fuels.

“After some thought, I realized partnering with the race team could amplify our impact. I reached out to the other sponsors, and without hesitation, they all agreed to support the tribute.”

Inspired by the philanthropic efforts of figures like JJ Watt, O’Brien added, “I admire those who use their platform to make a difference, and I wanted to do the same in my community. By working together, we can achieve so much more than a single donation could.”

“I am sincerely grateful to everyone involved for helping turn this vision into reality and honoring Patrolman Duarte’s legacy,” expressed O’Brien.

“Special thanks to Brewer Home Improvements, Addicted2Dirt PR, SpeedComm, Bigham Appraisals, Moose Blocks, Herr Electric, and T&N Solutions for everything.” 

HONOR AND AID

A raffle will offer fans the opportunity to win the team’s specially designed wing. Entries are priced at $15 each, with all proceeds donated to the Officer Andrew Duarte Memorial Fund.  Raffle sales are now open and will run through July 20, 2025.

The wing can be delivered to the winner within a 1-hour radius of York, PA, at no additional cost. Given that the wing will be used during races, its condition isn’t guaranteed.

Pat Brewer of NinetyFive Motorsports said the team was honored to be a part of the tribute and fundraiser.

“We are a team made up of community-based individuals, and we love to give back to our communities.  What Jimmy (O’Brien) and J Fuels are doing is incredible.  The logistics of something like this are huge.”, Brewer shared.

“This is about awareness of what the first responders do for their communities every day, and it’s about the sacrifices their families make, not just in loss but every day, at all hours of the day.”

The tragedy gave NinetyFive Motorsports driver Kody Hartlaub pause as well. 

“My wife Audrey and I were in that hospital just a few weeks prior to that awful day giving birth to our second daughter, so it really hit home for us that something like that could happen in our community.”, Hartlaub shared.

SUPPORT OPTIONS

Those interested in entering the raffle can do so via any of the following methods.  Purchasers must provide their name and phone number.

  • Cash: To J Fuels representatives
  • Check: Payable to J Fuels, mailed to PO Box 405, York New Salem, PA 17371 
  • Venmo: J Fuels for a Cause (include your name & phone number in the “What’s This For?” section)

Follow the J Fuels Facebook page for updates on the fundraiser, including when Jimmy and Jess will be attending races and how to find them at the track if you wish to pay cash.

A QR code will be available to make it easy for fans to use the J Fuels for a Cause Venmo option.  The scannable code will be available to fans at the track where the NinetyFive Motorsports team is selling souvenirs and in the team’s pit area.

In addition, J Fuels is also announcing that the company will donate $0.05 per gallon from all heating oil and propane purchases made during this period.

Please join J Fuels, NinetyFive Motorsports, and the racing community in celebrating Patrolman Duarte’s life and legacy, and in supporting his family through this heartfelt fundraiser.

J Fuels and Kody Hartlaub Racing Form New Partnership

/0 Comments/in , , /by

East Berlin, PA – July 24, 2023

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Rendering:  Chop Designs

Kody Hartlaub’s success and consistency over the last two seasons hasn’t gone unnoticed.  Fans certainly have the East Berlin, PA driver on their radar and now a York, PA business has taken note and joined forces with Hartlaub as well.

J Fuels, a locally owned and operated business known as South Central PA’s Best Choice for Propane, will adorn the wing of Hartlaub’s No.95 sprint cars, both in the 358 and 410 divisions.

 

The J Fuels Story

J Fuels, founded in 2015 by owners Jimmy O’Brien Jr. and JR Facciola, strives to provide fuel to residential, commercial, and agricultural customers across south-central Pennsylvania. After initially only providing propane, they expanded in 2016 into the home heating oil and off road diesel business.

They pride themselves in their customer service and they promise to work with customers to help them understand all of their options to help save them money, not only now, but in the future as well.

J Fuels does it all:  Commercial Service and Residential Service.  Why people choose J Fuels?  They provide 24/7 emergency delivery, competitive pricing and fast & friendly service.

Bringing the Vision Into Focus

Hartlaub jumped into the 358 sprint car ranks a few years ago with just what he needed to go racing.  Since then, he has been working to build the depth of his program, knowledge and experience.  He has done so with a calculated plan with the support of his current partners.

As he has dipped the figurative toe of Kody Hartlaub Racing into the 410 sprint car ranks in 2023, with aspirations of that being the team’s full time endeavor within a few years, the choices have sometimes become harder.  Resources only go so far.  To invest in this week, this season or the future is sometimes the choice that must be made.

“We couldn’t be happier that Jimmy and JR wanted to become part of our team.  For us, this means fewer tough choices.  Now we can allocate resources to our future vision.“, Kody Hartlaub commented.

“We want to go into full time 410 racing within a few years.  We are trying to start preparing now so we don’t get sidelined to easily once we choose that path.  By partnering with J Fuels, we know we can reach that vision and maybe we will even reach it sooner than expected.  Maybe 2024 isn’t out of the question if things work out.“

“We know we can give Jimmy and JR a great return for their investment by advertising and representing J Fuels everywhere we go, through our connections in the sport and through our fans at the track and on social media.”

 

Putting the Customer First

J Fuels is committed to providing their customers with excellent customer service to earn their respect and loyalty, and to provide prompt service with a quality product at a competitive price. They pride themselves on honesty and integrity and they firmly believe that you will see the difference when you choose J Fuels.

They take pride in getting to know their customers as more than just a number on an invoice and they are striving to bring honesty and integrity back, one customer at a time. Their staff is a fully trained team of experts ready to meet your needs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year and they are fully licensed, certified, and insured.

“We are excited to be partnering with Kody (Hartlaub) and his program and we are excited to get involved in the racing community in central Pennsylvania, which is such an important part of our region and beyond.“, said J Fuels co-owner Jimmy O’Brien Jr.  “Kody runs a successful, quality program that we will be proud to have represent us.  We are confident this relationship will help both Kody and J Fuels grow.“

“We provide customers with professional propane service with a wide variety of options, to better suit their needs.  We are committed and loyal to our customers.  We know race fans are very loyal to their drivers and their brands as well.  We hope the race fans will let us be their propane or fuel oil provider for their home or business in South Central Pennsylvania.  We look forward to those relationships and being a part of the racing community!“
