From Aaron Fry
The Ti22 Performance FAST On Dirt tour is prepared to return to the historic Wayne County Speedway this Saturday, June 25th after a one-year hiatus. Fans are guaranteed to see a first time WCS / FAST winner, as both prior visits were claimed by local hero Dean Jacobs, driving the McClure Motorsports number 9. The McClure team will still be well represented with two entries. Ricky Peterson, chasing FAST tour points, along with Andrew Palker, chasing Wayne County track points, will give owner Jerry McClure a chance at a three-peat!
Bradner, Ohio’s Nate Dussel is the current FAST tour point leader over Fremont’s Zeth Sabo. Local crowd favorite, Lee Jacobs, sits a very close 3rd in the standings, with Peterson and Sean Rayhall rounding out the front five. Other tour regulars expected include Mitch Harble, Nathan Skaggs, Justin Adams, Jordan Harble, Jordan Ryan, Lee Haskins and Jack Sodeman Jr. As always, the stout Wayne County regulars will be tough to beat on their home track! Chris Myers leads the track standings with Henry Malcuit, Danny Mumaw, Palker and Zach Ames in the top 5. Also in the track top 10 are Tyler Street, Danial Burkhart, Nick Patterson, Wyatt Zimmerman and Dylan Kingan. Former FAST tour regular, Cody Bova, scored his first ever Wayne County win a few weeks back and he has added his name to this weekend’s entry list as well.
