The lone New York State appearance on July 16th for the traveling ARDC Midget Club will again offer significant meaning to the stars and the cars of the 71-year old racing organization. One of it’s very own racing legends, Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania native Johnny Heydenreich, has been named by track Promoters Gary and Donna Palmer as the Grand Marshal for this year’s edition of the premier event. Heydenreich has enjoyed a fantastic career in ARDC competition as he has posted 36-wins to date at many of the tracks the Eastern based series continues to travel to on their schedule. More >

After turning in an impressive performance in the Modified portion of last year’s King of the Catskills final event, Middletown, New York’s Clinton “Monster” Mills will take aim on the Modified division for the 2010 racing season at the Accord Speedway. Mills just missed qualifying in his heat event in September and then drove to a solid runnerup finish in the consolation event to winner Stewart Friesen. More >

After an incredible 2009 racing season that saw him capture the Accord Speedway Modified title for the second time in his career, “The Statesman” Jerry Higbie is busily preparing for a 2010 racing schedule that will find him returning to the Ulster County speedplant in hopes of capturing a second straight title. Higbie will return with much the same arsenal as he did a year ago for after a mid-season pairing with the New Jersey based car owner MIke Petruska and his Atlas Paving sponsored number 66 Teo/JPM race car, the team clicked immediately and Higbie went on to great success, capturing the Joe Winne Memorial race as well as the season ending King of the Catskills Modified events at Accord.
