ATQMRA Champs Look for Indoor Auto Racing Success
Joey Bailey aboard the Boyd No. 1B
Veteran TQ Midget car owners Lenny and Donna Boyd proved they had found their driver last year when Joey Bailey got comfortable in his yellow No. 1B.
After going to the rear late in the series finale, the multi-time champion of the outdoor ATQMRA series impressively marched back forward to finish fifth, rewarding him with fourth in the final series point standings.
The 25-year-old Monroe Township, N.J. driver is now comfortable in the close action of indoor racing and ready to take his game to the next level.
Will Ryan Tidman Bring his Outdoor Streak Inside?
Another one to keep an eye on is Ryan Tidman. The Southampton, Pa. driver really got going late in the season on the ATQMRA outdoor circuit, ending the campaign with an impressive victory at Wall Stadium’s Turkey Derby.
Returning in Rick Tolerico’s No. 83, this veteran of indoor competition could be primed for a first indoor victory.
