ARDC SET TO RETURN TO BRIDGEPORT SPEEDWAY

By Steve Williams

The Wingless Midgets of the American Racing Drivers Club will return to Bridgeport Speedway this Saturday Night, September 11th to compete on the ¼ mile inner oval, while the Big Block Modifieds and the Crate Modifieds will race on the outer oval.

When ARDC was at Bridgeport back in June, the race came down to a battle between Ryan Smith and speedway Modified regular Ryan Watt with Smith picking up his first win of the season.

Smith, who recently picked up a victory in a Wingless 600 Microsprint spent last weekend racing Sprint Cars in Pennsylvania and New York, is currently in the third spot in the points chase. Watt, who last week pulled double duty at New Egypt will be busy again as he tries to pull off a rare double win.

Both Ryan’s will have to contend with ARDC point leader, Steve Buckwalter who was in Indiana racing with USAC the last time the Midgets were at Bridgeport. Buckwalter, who like Smith spent last weekend in Sprint Cars, dominated the race at the wide open speedway at New Egypt will have adjust to the tighter ¼ mile inner oval.

Looking for his first win of the season is Drew Heistand, who currently stands second in points to Buckwalter. The high riding style and torque Esslinger engine the Heistand uses make him an early favorite to grab the checkers.

Racing gets underway at 7:00pm.
