The line up for this week’s edition of Real Racin’ USA is nothing short of spectacular. The top stars from ARCA series first show ever from Florida’s finest short track, USA International Speedway, will be on hand to relive a very exciting race. Saturday night the local Florida guys gave it their all, came very close to winning but the big prize went to James Buescher of Plano, Texas.
Buescher, celebrating his seventeenth birthday today, out ran Bryan Clauson for the win. Clauson is a seventeen year old sprint car driver from Indiana who was running his very first stock car race. Both these young guns will join hosts Rick Anges, Bill Green and Jack Smith to talk about the awesome experience of their first ARCA race.
Johnny Jackson, most well know for his local racing at DeSoto Super Speedway, had quite a day, finishing 8th in the ARCA event on the 3/4 USA International Speedway. Jackson and family will join us live at the Snook River Grill along with along with Attorney James Carter. Carter is a Marketing Rep for both Jackson and Mario Gosselin.
Gosselin thrilled local fans with his run from the rear to the front, only to have the gremlins bite him yet again. Mario has won on the ARCA tour and looked like he might again on Saturday until a left front tire went down in the late stages. Mario will also be a guest on Tuesday night.
