ARCA Midwest Tour Returns to Grundy County Speedway This Friday
by Kari Shear-Carlson
July 14, 2015 - Along with the Stars and Cars of the ARCA Midwest Tour presented by Scag Power Equipment, the field for the Wayne Carter Classic 100 this Friday, July 17th, will be filled with some of the hottest competition in the Chicagoland area.
Last year’s winner, Touring Star, Chris Weinkauf, is ready to face the challenge and is excited to get back to the track where he scored his first victory.
“I’m really looking forward to going back to Grundy. We finally got the monkey off our backs when we won there last year. With this year’s list of drivers, it’s definitely going to be a tough fight for the win,” said Weinkauf.
Fellow Touring Star Jonathan Eilen, along with local legend, Eddie Hoffman also join Weinkauf on the ARCA Midwest Tour winner’s list at the Speedway and have always been two of the top contenders in the event.
But past winners will have their work cut out for them with the degree of talent in this year’s line-up. When it comes to the Wayne Carter Classic, it is anyone’s game. Brett Sontag, Austin Nason, DJ Weltmeyer, Larry Schuler, Ricky Baker, Andrew Morrissey, Rich Bickle, and Ty Majeski are just a few of the top names that will be after their first Wayne Carter Classic trophy.
Gates open at 5:30pm and all of the action begins with qualifying at 6:30pm and racing to follow at 7:30pm.
The ARCA Midwest Tour will be joined by the Mid-American Stock Car Series as well as the Pure Stocks.
