“Since the off season has been longer than I expected I’m more amped than ever for this weekend!” remarked Van Wieringen.” Getting back into the seat again is something I have been missing for a while. We’re going back to a track I’ve been to before and had a decent run at, which is going to be a solid boost going into this weekend!”

Van Wieringen last raced at Baer Field Motorsports Park in 2015 with the Top Speed Modified Series.
