Ross Kenseth racing in MN

Ross Kenseth just confirmed that he will be racing at Elko Speedway (MN) this Saturday night (May 22nd) in the Super Late Model divison.

Ross Kenseth is the son of NASCAR driver Matt Kenseth. He won a ton of BIG 8 series races last year and really turned some heads. This year he is racing full-time in the ASA Midwest tour series in 2010, he finished second place in the season opening event at Madison WI a few weeks ago.

We interviewed Ross last fall, he was soft spoken, just like his dad. He explained why he is number 25 (adding his dad's to race car numbers 17 + 8 = 25).

He no doubt is gathering information for the big ASA Midwest tour race at Elko coming up on Saturday June 5th. If you are unable to attend, Dean and I will broadcast that race on http://www.krwc1360.com/ from 7-10pm.

http://www.elkospeedway.com/ Racing begins Saturday night at 7pm
