Chesterman
Joins USMTS, USRA Staff
Officials from the United
States Modified Touring Series and United States Racing
Association welcomed Erick Chesterman to the staff of
the Webster, City-Iowa Based racing organizations on
Monday.
Chesterman, 34, was named the Director of
Track Operations and will oversee communication between
the dozens of successful racetracks operating under the
Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series banner. As part of
that, you’ll find him at events featuring the American
Racer USRA Modifieds Series presented by Day Motor
Sports.
With the USMTS, Chesterman will be the
lead announcer at events he attends, with multiple
announcers filling in for the former voice of the 81
Speedway and Humboldt Speedway when he is unavailable.
“I cannot find the appropriate words to express how
excited I am to join both the USRA and USMTS
organizations, or how much I appreciate (President) Todd
and (Vice-President) Janet (Staley) for the
opportunity,” Chesterman said. “I grew up a sprint car
fan, but have fallen in love with what USRA offers
weekly racers and tracks along with the touring series
action USMTS brings to each one of their events.”
Chesterman replaces Bryce Hall, who held both
positions as well for the last few years. Hall is now
the General Manager of the all-new Arrowhead Speedway in
Colcord, Oklahoma. The track will host the Summit USRA
Weekly Racing Series events on Friday nights and welcome
the Summit USMTS National Championship presented by
RacinDirt this November.
“Bryce did a phenomenal
job,” added Chesterman. “He’s a great friend of mine,
and I’m determined to build upon the solid foundation he
has built.
“Leaving 81, Humboldt and FOE
Enterprises was definitely a tough decision to make. Not
only have they been close personal friends, but John
Allen, J.R. Sartain and Kati Sartain all gave me
opportunities I most likely would not have gotten
anywhere else. They trusted me to do what was best for
both racetracks and help make their programs better.
They gave me the ability to learn and grow in each one
of those capacities, and without them I would not be in
the position to join USRA and USMTS today.”
Chesterman will begin his role immediately, and fans can
hear him on the microphone when the USMTS launches its
25th Anniversary season on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, March 2-4, at the Rocket Raceway Park in
Petty, Texas. The ARMS open the year in the Sooner State
at the Red Dirt Raceway in Meeker on Friday, April 14,
and the Lawton Speedway on Saturday, April 15.
“I
can’t wait to be a part of the best weekly sanctioning
body in dirt racing, and the best Modified touring
series in the country, Chesterman declared.
