The ASA Midwest Tour makes its return to Elko Speedway this coming Saturday night, September 20 for the Thunderstruck 93, a race that honors Dan Ryan, Sr., who passed away in 2009 after a 3-year battle with ALS. It’s the Midwest Tour’s 2nd visit in the last two years after a seven season hiatus.
Dan Ryan was a former racer who became a leader amongst the competitors in the pit area and tutored many young drivers as they worked their way through the racing ranks. The name of the event is named after Ryan’s favorite song, “Thunderstruck” by AC/DC. There will be a ten-minute break on lap 93 of the ASA Midwest Tour race to honor him.
