Tyler Speer will hit the one-mile oval dirt track for the third time for the Allen Crowe 100 at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield.

Sunday’s race will be the first of the season on a dirt track for the series, which for decades has run on a diverse set of tracks, from short tracks to dirt and road courses to superspeedways. ARCA is in the midst of a four-race stretch, in fact, the encompasses all four races.

A full-time student at Kennesaw State University, he is on track to graduate in December with a major in sales and minor in finance. Speer’s diverse racing experience ranges from go-karts to Allison Legacy Series to street stock, late models, paved oval, dirt track, and road course events. This will be the tenth dirt track race and the seventh ARCA race for the 22-year-old.
