ARDC HEADS TO NORTH CAROLINA FOR SOME HOT SUMMER RACING ACTION

By Steve Williams

The Wingless ARDC Midgets will make their annual Southern Tour this Friday and Saturday as they head to North Carolina.

On Friday evening at Dixieland Speedway in Elizabeth City NC the Midgets will be part of a six division show that includes, All Stars, Sportsman, Super 4’s, Super Streets, Stock 4’s.

On Saturday evening ARDC will be part of a five division show at County Line Raceway in Elm City, NC that includes, Pure Stock 4-Cylinders, Super Stock 4-Cylinders, Pure Stock V-8s, Late Models.

The southern swing is a highlight of many of the teams as they have developed quite a fan following and gained personal friendships since the inaugural series was started back in 2005.

The driver most looking forward to heading south is Phillipsburg, NJ’s Nick Wean. Wean, who won his first race of the season, last Saturday at Mercer Raceway Park, owns a win at both Dixieland and State Line. Wean currently sits second in points to Drew Heistand who also has one win.

Ryan Smith who got a slow start to the season has heated up as the temperatures have risen, this summer. Smith who claimed his first of three wins this season on Memorial Day currently sits third in points.

Bruce Buckwalter Jr. will have his Captain America 83 on hand to try to pickup his second Carolina checkered flag. Buckwalter was victorious at Dixieland in 2008.

Hot laps at Dixieland get underway at 7:00pm with racing at 8:00pm. Racing at County Line gets underway at 9:00pm.
