The crew will take next weekend off but will go right back to work the following weekend, January 27 & 28, making a trip to Charlotte for the Charlotte Racers Expo.  This will be the teams first trip to Charlotte for this event.  We will be teaming up with our official parts supplier Rapid Red Racing Supply, to meet and greet fans and drivers.

We are pleased to announce that The ARDC Midgets will return to County Line Raceway on Saturday June 30th! Ryan Crouse with the ARDC says the "ARDC is looking forward to coming back to County Line Raceway in June". "We hope mother nature will be kind to us all when we return on June 30th" states Crouse. The night before last years event, a thunderstorm dumped close to 5 inches of rain on the track making conditions very soft and the track started to rut up pretty bad. "We know what kind of show the ARDC is capable of at County Line Raceway and we can't wait to showcase these ultra fast machines on our 3/8ths mile track" states co-promoter Brenda Holcombe. She also continued to state that "County Line Raceway will continue to look for diverse forms of racing for our fans".
