Wendy Mathis Racing pulls into Desoto Super Speedway this weekend for the 50 lap Dick Friedley Memorial race, sanctioned by the TBARA. Dick Friedley was the long time TBARA statistician and official photographer.
"I always enjoy running Desoto and generally do well, including a couple of fourth place finishes last year" said Mathis. "Starting at the back since we're not running the whole series won't do us any favors, but I'm up for the challenge."
The weekend will prove busy for Mathis as she will be talking to a few teams during the weekend's activities at the St. Petersburg Grand Prix about running some ovals in the renamed Indy Lights Series.
"It's my goal to run a few ovals this year and get some seat time to get ready for the Freedom 100 at Indianapolis next year," continued Mathis. "I've got one IRL team in particular that we've had a few discussions with and I'm working really hard to put some sponsorship packages together. It's difficult this time of year, but I just know there is a company out there that feels as passionately as I do about putting an American sprint car driver in the Indy Lights Series to mix it up on the ovals."
Pit gate opens at 2:00 for Saturday's festivities at Desoto.
