Newmanstown, PA - On Saturday night at Lanco's Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway, it was deja-vu all over again for Alex Bright, as he captured the season opener for the USAC Eastern Regional Midgets Presented by ARDC.
The scheduled lidlifter for the touring Midget series was supposed to occur on Friday night at Linda's Speedway, but that event was rained out so the 78th season of the American Racing Drivers Club, now in partnership with USAC, kicked off at Clyde Martin's MJF Trucking No Wing Spring Fling on Saturday. And "the Phenom", Alex Bright, continued his winning ways on the banked oval.
