NASCAR Weekly Racing Kicks Off Friday at Madison
Exciting weekly racing action begins this Friday night at Madison International Speedway when the NASCAR Late Models, Dave’s White Rock MISfitz, Pellitteri Waste Systems Bandits, and Roto Rooter 6Shooters get on track for the NASCAR Whelen All American Season Opener. It’s also Student Night with all students possessing a valid ID receiving free admission.
Headlining the racing program will be the NASCAR Late Models. Defending champion Zack Riddle will lead a talented field of drivers from throughout the region back to the green flag in 2019. The Ring of Fire will come alive when the Pellitteri Waste Systems Bandits and Roto Rooter 6Shooters battle it out. The four cylinder Bandits are known for two and three wide racing and always putting on a great show. Nick Schmidt was the 2018 champion. The 6Shooters offer an opportunity for anyone to get involved in racing without spending much money. Crazy and wild is the rule for the entry level 6Shooters.
