ROCKINGHAM, NC – An ARCA rookie in this Saturday’s American 200 at Rockingham Speedway may well be the most experienced driver in the field at the track. That is if you consider competing at all of the track’s venues. Tyler Speer of Woodstock, GA has run Little Rock in the Allison Legacy Series, the big track in the Frank Kimmel Streetstock Nationals Polar Bear 150 and he won the Allison Legacy event on Rockingham’s road course.
“I really enjoy racing at Rockingham,” Speer said, “especially the big track. I’m looking forward to running it with 800 horsepower and learning to race with some of the best drivers in the sport.”
The Chattanooga Auto Auction ARCA car will make three different classes of racecars that Speer has driven at The Rock. While the 19-year-old doesn’t qualify for NASCAR’s Driver Diversity program, his 2010 year should earn him a driving diversity award – Allison Legacy Car, Kimmel Streetstock, asphalt Pro Late Model and dirt Crate Model. And he is adding the ARCA car to his resume on Saturday. Oh yeah, for fun he even took time to compete on a team that won a 24-hours of LeMons endurance road race at Carolina Motorsports Park.
