Son of Cup Team Owner Wins at Toledo

For those of you that have had yourselves so engrossed with the notion of Austin Dillon one day making it to the Cup Series level to run the Richard Childress Racing number 3 car that was formerly run by racing great, Dale Earnhardt, you may be unaware that yet another relative of a long-time car owner at the Cup Series level has embarked on his journey to future stardome through the ARCA/Re Maxx Series.

Matt Carter, the recently turned 27 year old son of Travis Carter, gave himself a belated birthday present this past Saturday night at Toledo Speedway by winning the Hantz Group 200. Carter held off Patrick Sheltra in the closing laps of the caution filled race, and managed to escape with the win only 0.115 seconds ahead of his challenger. Matt was making only his seventh career start in the series and has now pulled himself into a tie for the series’ points lead with last week’s race winner, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., just 20 points ahead of Frank Kimmel.

Other notables in the race included David Ragan, who finished fifth; Stenhouse, who finished seventh; and Ken Schrader who raced his way to a ninth place finish. The series will take back to the track on June 7th at Pocono Raceway for the running of the Pocono 200.
