ALLGAIER LEADS THE WAY IN ARCA
Justin Allgaier of Riverton, Illinois beat a stout
ARCA stock car field on Sunday, April 13 on the half mile paved oval
of Salem Speedway in Indiana. This marks the second time he’s
conquered the high banks, as he took the checkers there last year
too. Allgaier beat midget ace and NASCAR vet Ken Schrader to the
line. After an impressive runner up finish at Daytona during
Speedweeks, where he went from 30th to finish second, Allgaier is
now the ARCA point leader. Check

At this year’s Chili Bowl, Allgaier told us he would be chasing the
ARCA title, but his schedule would allow for several Angell Park
bouts. He was excited to note he would be back in Ebby Bergfield’s
midget for those races. Check Allgaier’s website for schedule

Two other Angell Park veterans raced on this day with Ricky
Stenhouse finishing sixth in a Roush-Fenway car and Tom Hessert
finishing 15th.

ALLGAIER AND HESSERT DO WELL AT DAYTONA
Two Angell Park Speedway veterans had great runs with the ARCA Re/Max Series as the group competed at the Daytona International Speedway during Speedweeks. This year’s race marked the 45th February running at the "World Center of Speed," for ARCA.
Allgaier finished second to Michael Annett in the 200 mile contest. Annett is backed by NASCAR’s Bill Davis racing, while Allgaier is a family-owned team. Allgaier earned the race’s "Hard Charger" award for advancing the most positions. He started 30th. It was also his best super speedway finish, according to www.arcaracing.com .
During the Chili Bowl the Springfield, Illinois driver told Angell Park that he hopes to make more appearances at the Speedway this year and has a new midget set for competition here.
New Jersey native Tom Hessert is an ARCA rookie. He started 11th and finished 6th at Daytona and was the highest finishing rookie. Hessert has visited the Speedway from time to time in the last seven years and his first dirt track midget go was at Angell Park. He drives for ARCA vet, Andy Belmont.
Both drivers plan to run the entire 2008 ARCA season.
