CHARLOTTE, NC (June 2, 2011) – After a great debut run to a podium finish at the recently-held inaugural US Legends Modified race at East Lincoln Speedway in Stanley, North Carolina, Evan York, of YORK Motorsport will be returning to the competitive clay track.
“I had such fun, I just had to come back,” enthused Evan. “We were so pleased to have Garth Stein’s, “Racing In The Rain: My Life As A Dog” on our car! Now, with Victory Lane Karting joining us for the next race, I’m even more pumped to do well. That said, dirt track racing is still a relatively new discipline to me and I have a lot of work yet to do in order to be fully competitive. I relish the challenge.”
