Along with the returning veterans, the OSCAAR Midgets are going to have a bunch of new faces for the upcoming season. One of those rookies will be Darryl Anthony.
After racing a Mini Stock at Peterborough Speedway, Anthony is set to race a midget this season. The Midget made sense for his career at this point as he said “it’s an affordable car to drive”.
He admits that he isn’t sure what to expect as he hasn’t raced a midget before, but hopes he can get up front with it. He states his goals going into the year are to qualify for every race, and be competitive.
Of the tracks on the schedule, Anthony says he’s most excited about getting to Grand Bend Speedway this season.
For Anthony, his interest in racing got started through his father whom used to race open-wheel modifieds. He then got involved himself, racing go-karts before moving into the Mini Stock at Peterborough.
The OSCAAR Midgets will open their season at Flamboro Speedway on May 21-22, joining the OSCAAR Outlaw Super Lates and the OSCAAR Modifieds as part of Flamboro’s big May 24 weekend. The Super Lates will run their feature on the Saturday with the Midgets and Modifieds just qualifying, with both the Midgets and Modifieds running their features on the Sunday.
Stay tuned to the OSCAAR website for more driver and series news leading up to the racing season.
