Who to Watch For:

While Ty Majeski is always fast, Casey Johnson will be back at the track this weekend as a driver, and knows how to get around Jefferson Speedway.

Title Fight:

Ty Majeski has taken over the points lead, something he is familiar with. He leads Dan Fredrickson by 19 points going into race #3 of the season.

The Track:

Jefferson Speedway is a 1/4 mile paved oval located near Cambridge, Wisconsin. The track features two distinct grooves; the inside for turns 1&2, and the outside for turns 3&4.

Weather:

The race weather will be near perfect today, partly cloudy and a high of 75.

Next Series Race:

The next race for the ARCA Midwest Tour will take place June 10th at Marshfield Motor Speedway.

What Won the Race:

A caution with 57 to go gave Ty Majeski the opportunity to have a great restart and check out from the rest of the field.

The Skinny: 

Dalton Zehr had a fast car until a restart left in in the clutches of Ty Majeski, who once again had the car to beat. Majeski powered to the lead with 56 to go.

Winning Quote:

“We felt like after practice we didn’t really have the car to win the race, especially starting deep in the field. We made some changes,  took a chance on it and we definitely hit on it.

Winning Crew Chief: 

Toby Nuttleman

On the Move:

Paul Schafer Jr. used speed and patience to climb into the top-5 and finish fourth.

Biggest Loser:

Andrew Morrissey had a fast car, but was caught up in a wreck 43 laps in and was unable to continue.
