GRETH EYES USAC/ARDC TITLE FRIDAY AT LINDA’S
Ryan Greth of Newport, Pa. has an insurmountable lead in the USAC Eastern Midget Series presented by ARDC entering this Friday’s finale at Linda’s Speedway in Jonesboro, Pa. The championship will be his first.
Greth posted a 16th place finish when the USAC National Midgets invaded Linda’s Speedway last month, but he has five 2017 podium finishes, including a victory at Susquehanna Speedway in York Haven, Pa.
Greth wrested the lead away from Alex Bright with top-10 finishes at Williams Grove in June, but slipped back to second in mid-July. He regained the lead from Bright with a second at Susquehanna and has never looked back.
Kenny Miller, Adam Pierson and Shawn Jackson round out the top-five in the standings entering Saturday’s race.
