SALEM IN (4-2-10) - It's anybody's race when the ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards rolls into Salem Speedway.
Other top drivers expected for the Kentuckiana Ford Dealers ARCA 200 by ApplianceZone.com include Mikey Kile of West Lake, La., Steve Arpin of Fort Frances, Ont., and Robb Brent of Shelby Township, Mich.
Arpin and Brent are currently second and third in the series standings, while Kile is a former Salem winner in the old Hooters Pro Cup Series.
Entries have also been received from open wheel veterans Tom Hessert of Cherry Hill, N.J., Brian Tyler of Parma, Mich, and Dakoda Armstrong of New Castle, Ind.
Another driver to watch at Salem will be young up-and-comer Chris Buescher of Prosper, Tex. Buescher put his David Ragan Fan Club Ford on pole for last year's ARCA Fall Classic 200 at Salem in just his second career start on the high banks.
The event will also carry its fair share of local flavor with Henryville, Indiana's Darrell Basham joining Kimmel at their "home" track.
