Bigger isn’t always better, and while oversized trucks and SUVs are dominating the highways, the small and humble compact car still has a place and is a genuine alternative for many people. While compact cars might not have the commanding presence of their larger counterparts, they’re still equipped with a heap of advantages that make them an attractive option for many drivers.
Let’s take a look at some of the benefits of choosing a compact car over an SUV or crossover.
Chase Grennan of Glen Cove is quickly gaining a reputation among the NASCAR Modified ranks at Riverhead Raceway, and it’s one the 18-year-old second generation driver is proud to bear. After Chase survived a wild Oval Speed Unlimited Bubba 150 Saturday earning his third career win, he again sat in victory lane after another signature race at the historic bullring. Grennan started things off by winning the Islip 300 last November, then earlier in June won the 75th Anniversary Flying Dutchman Tribute before his $7,166 triumph in the Bubba 150.
