MARFC Heads West to Winston Speedway!

winstonweb1Many thanks to Tom Sprague Sr. and staff for another great night of racing at West Michigan’s best dirt track, Winston Speedway. The weather was perfect and many MARFC members were treated to some great racing action this past Saturday, August 2nd. The MARFC Helmet bag was presented to the driver of the #1K Young Gun, Christine Johnson. Christine has been racing the past 3 years and is always enthusiastic in supporting the track and the division. This season she is a multiple feature winner and recorded a top five finish this past Saturday. Track announcer Brian Osborne kept the crowd informed all night and is another reason the racing is so good at Winston Speedway. Howard Town was the winner of the MARFC Member raffle and table helper was Julie DeHem.winstonweb2 Thanks again to Tom for being a MARFC Member track and we look forward to coming back to Winston Speedway in 2015.
