NASCAR Superstar Joins Elite List of Short Trackers & More for Milwaukee ARCAFest July 8-9

Whether it's in one of NASCAR's national series or whenever he gets the urge to strap into one of his Late Model racecars, Kyle Busch never shies away from a challenge. That's why he's been so successful, to the tune of 115 career NASCAR victories in the top-three divisions and he's won some of the most prestigious short track events in the country.

Now, Busch will be tackling another challenge head-on when he battles with some of the country's top short track racers, plus some of his fellow NASCAR stars, in the ARCA Midwest Tour's Swiss Colony Howie Lettow Memorial 150 presented by raceteamgear.com on July 8 and 9 at Wisconsin's famed Milwaukee Mile.

The Lettow 150, part of the ARCAFest event at Milwaukee, already has an entry list 80-strong, chock full of big names from the NASCAR and short track worlds. With the addition of Busch to the impressive lineup, the second edition of the Howie Lettow Memorial could very well be the most star-studded short track event in recent history.

Once again this year for the Swiss Colony Howie Lettow Memorial 150 at the Milwaukee Mile, there are sponsorship opportunities available for each individual lap. There was a strong demand for last year's inaugural event and that demand has only increased for this year's running. This year's event is on July 8th and 9th.

Racing has long been a family affair, and the second annual Swiss Colony Howie Lettow Memorial 150 is shaping up to be another fine example. NASCAR driver Joe Nemechek will join his son, John Hunter Nemechek and race at the famed Milwaukee Mile on July 8th-9th.

After watching his son, then age 14 set fast time for the event, and seeing the stellar field of drivers entered last year, Joe couldn't fight the urge to fully join in for this year's event.

"I decided to run this event after watching the race last year first hand," said Nemechek. "I always had a lot of fun competing at the Mile in the Nationwide series but most of all there is a little friendly competitive talk going on between my son John Hunter and myself. I have not been in a super late model since winning the All Pro championship in 1989 so this should be exciting! The event was awesome last year as there were 80+ cars with good competitive racing and a huge spectator turn out. It was nice to see the grandstands full for a great short track race at the Milwaukee Mile."
