Sprint Cup Driver Returns to Midwest Tour Event in Skuttle Tight Ford

CONCORD, N.C.-David Ragan PR (April 9, 2013) - The Milwaukee Mile's ARCA Fest will once again have some NASCAR star power with David Ragan among the Sprint Cup regulars entered in the July 9 late-model race. The driver of the No. 34 Front Row Motorsports Ford in the Sprint Cup Series will enter the popular Midwest Tour-sanctioned race in his No. 77 Skuttle Tight Ford with support from attic-entry system manufacturer Skuttle Tight.

It will be the second consecutive year that Ragan will participate in the Swiss Colony Howie Lettow Memorial 150 presented by raceteamgear.com and his third late-model race of the season. The two-day ARCA Fest benefits the MACC Fund (Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer) and will include a concert by Southern rock band 38 Special after the practice sessions on July 8.

Skuttle Tight is a Willmar, Minn.-based manufacturer that offers insulated attic-entry systems that replace older attic hatches and access panels that can cause drafts. The July race will be the second event of the 2013 season that the company will join Ragan on his late-model campaign and the second straight year that Skuttle Tight will adorn the No. 77 Ford for the ARCA Fest.

The ARCA Midwest Tour presented by SCAG Power Equipment and Lester Buildings is pleased to announce that short track legend and former NASCAR driver Rich Bickle will be competing full time in 2013 and is going to be a part of the famed Touring Star program.

Rich Bickle is a veteran of all three NASCAR divisions in a career that has spanned 36 years. His racing career began in Wisconsin at Jefferson Speedway at age 15. He steadily progressed into super late model racing and won multiple track championships throughout the state of Wisconsin. He then began racing in traveling divisions racing from Florida to Calgary AB, and from New York to California.

Wallace to bring fan excitement and momentum to Milwaukee Mile in July

March 28, 2013 (West Allis, Wis.) - Joining a growing list of all-star drivers competing in the Swiss Colony Howie Lettow Memorial 150 presented by RaceTeamGear.com event July 8-9 at The Milwaukee Mile is one of the most affable characters in all of NASCAR, accomplished racer and TV personality Kenny Wallace.

One year ago, his older brother Rusty Wallace came out of driving retirement to compete in the inaugural Howie Lettow 150 and will be listed as Kenny's car owner. This year, among the stellar field of expected driving talent Kenny will face includes uber-popular NASCAR champion driver and Wisconsin native Matt Kenseth.

"Rusty told me DO NOT take this race lightly because the best are there!" Kenny emphatically stated in a recent interview. "I studied Rusty's situation (last year) real close. My number one goal is to make the feature."

Growing up in St. Louis, Mo., Kenny said it was a big deal in the late 1970's as an impressionable teenager to come to Milwaukee to work on Rusty's crew and served as a rear tire changer.
