Rookie Martini Shakes Up Midgets
WINCHESTER, Va. — ARDC rookie Zack Martini has a driving resume that includes everything from TQ Midgets to 305 Sprints to wingless Sprints.
All that experience came in handy as Martini and the ARDC clan faced a challenging Winchester, Va. track Saturday night as he became the fourth rookie to score a victory in ARDC this season.
"Those cars taught me throttle control and car control, and that's what I needed tonight," Martini said in victory lane. "I've driven all those cars, but I love ARDC."
Martini led every circuit of the 20-lap feature as heat-winner Steve Lenig settled for second and Ryan Smith took third.
Stephanie Stevens and Randy Monroe, Jr. rounded out the top five.
The finish:
Zack Martini, Steve Lenig, Ryan Smith, Stephanie Stevens, Randy Monroe, Jr., Andy Martin, Bob Goerner, P.J. Gargiulo, Bruce Buckwalter, Brett Arndt, Frank Polimeda, Nick Wean, Greg Robinson, Tracy Readinger, Eric Heydenreich, Brett Conkling, Chris Zrinski, Mark Lawshe, Dave Shirk, Scott Zipp, Sean Penny, Drew Heistand.
