LOGAN RUFFIN
Logan Ruffin to make first start of 2011 at Hickory
CORNELIUS, N.C. (10/26/2011) - In nearly a year since hoisting the USARacing Pro Cup Series Rookie of the Year trophy in the series' season finale, Logan Ruffin will make his first Stock Car start of the 2011 racing season this Saturday night at Hickory Motor Speedway (N.C.).
Ruffin will climb aboard the No. 8 Patterson Farms / MAD Industry Super Late Model for car owner Dick Woodman in the 150-lap Pro All Stars Series (PASS) race.
Ruffin has spent his time away from the track gaining experience on the engineering side of the sport, working in race shops for NASCAR Camping World Truck Series drivers Steve Arpin and Ricky Carmichael. The 17-year-old recently began collaborating with Woodman, a former crew chief of Ruffin's, preparing a Super Late Model specifically for Saturday night's event.
After nearly a year-long absence, Ruffin is ready to get back to the winner's circle.
"It's been a rough go of it, being out of a ride for this long," said Ruffin. "Fortunately, I've been able to take advantage of my time in the shop and learn more about these race cars. It will definitely help with my feedback. Dick and I have always been able to communicate well, so I'm positive that the knowledge I've gained working on these cars will make us better."
Saturday night's racing card will begin at 6 pm EST. The PASS 150 will be the feature event of the evening. |
