“I have wanted to race on a street course since I was nine, so I could not be more excited about this opportunity,” Kligerman said in a pre-race release from Big Machine Racing.
“We have been putting in great effort to be as prepared as possible for something so new for all of us. I can’t wait for Saturday!”
Kligerman has competed in a variety of events throughout his racing career. In NASCAR alone, he has made 215 combined starts across the three national series while celebrating wins at Talladega Superspeedway and Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Kligerman also won 10 of the 25 ARCA Menards Series races in which he competed.
Now, the Connecticut native will take on an entirely new event. He will compete in the Xfinity Series race on the streets of Chicago, and he will try to deliver a standout performance for Big Machine Racine. He will have this opportunity on Saturday, July 1, at 5 p.m. ET (USA Network).
