FOREST, Ohio (February 20, 2020): With a pair of USAC National Sprint Car starts at Bubba Raceway Park already under their belts, Matt Westfall and Ray Marshall Motorsports are pleased to unveil their entire slate for the 2020 season, complete with Midwest Sprint Car Series (MSCS), Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series (BOSS) and USAC National Sprint Car starts across much of the Midwest and Northeast. The bulk of their 2020 campaign will begin on March 28 during the BOSS Series opener at Waynesfield Raceway Park in Waynesfield, Ohio.
“We put a lot of time into building this schedule. I think it fits our team perfectly and we’re excited to get started,” Matt Westfall explained, the 2019 BOSS Series champion with Ray Marshall Motorsports. “I can’t thank Ray Marshall and the entire team enough for this opportunity. Ray has a lot of confidence in our program and we’ve proved over and over again that we can be competitive on all levels. I think there are a lot of good times ahead for us.”
Although the team will not dedicate their efforts toward any specific series nor championship, Westfall and Ray Marshall Motorsports will battle for many of the sport’s most prestigious and sought-after prizes including Eldora’s #LetRaceTwo and 4-Crown Nationals titles. In addition, the Forest, Ohio-based race team plans to enter most of the USAC Indiana Sprint Week schedule – six stops including one that has yet to be decided – as well as the annual Eastern Storm schedule in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. Knoxville Raceway’s Cornbelt Nationals and Kokomo Speedway’s legendary Smackdown are also marquee events on Westfall’s agenda.
“It’s going to be an exciting season for our team. We have a lot in store, but I’m confident we’ll be ready,” explained Ray Marshall, owner of the Ray Marshall Motorsports/Buckeye Machine Fabricators, Inc./Hempy Water/DPI Ink/No. 33M sprint car. “We’re excited to have Matt Westfall back behind the wheel of the Bumblebee Express. There are great things ahead for us.”
If a full slate of non-wing competition with Ray Marshall Motorsports was not enough, Matt Westfall will also participate in multiple USAC Silver Crown events under the Westfall Motorsports banner, as well as SpeedSTR programs in Kutztown, Pennsylvania.
“I’m fortunate enough to have the opportunity to race multiple divisions in 2020, so I want to take full advantage of that,” Westfall continued. “Hopefully we can find success on all levels.”
