American Racing Drivers Club (ARDC. Midgets)…Jeff Champagne of Westfield, MA won last Saturday night’s 20-lap ARDC Midget race at Lincoln Speedway during the Steve Smith Tribute race. Jeff won driving the Joe Thomas owned #19. Instead of heat races there were 2 timed warm up sessions, followed by two 10 lap features. The second feature inverted the finish of the first feature. Champagne would sweep the night setting fast time, winning the first feature, and winning the second feature after the invert. The crowd would get to witness his excitement as he flipped his mount in turn 2 while celebrating the win, forcing him to walk to victory lane.

American Racing Drivers Club (ARDC) Midgets……..Brian Carber of Pipersville, PA won last Saturday night’s 20-lap ARDC Midget race at New Egypt Speedway. Heat Winners were Kenney Johnson and Jeff Champagne, both cars out of the Kenney Johnson Motorsports stable. With a #6 pill drawn to determine the invert it would place Carber starting outside the second row in the fourth place. At the drop of the green he would make quick work of the front row and have clear sailing until the checkers. With Carber clearly out front, the Kenney Johnson team cars would fight amongst themselves for the second spot with Kenney winning that battle over Jeff Champagne. The action was exciting throughout the field on a smooth slick track provided by New Egypt Speedway.

Next up, the ARDC Midgets will compete at the historic Bedford Speedway, in Bedford PA on Friday May 20th alongside the Late Models, Late Model Sportsman, and USAC East Coast Sprints with all cars being topless.
