Casey Roderick headlines a stellar list of drivers already entered for the Joe Shear Classic at Madison next Sunday at Madison International Speedway in Oregon, WI.
The Pulaski, MS driver, who won the inaugural ASA STARS National Tour event at Five Flags back on March 11, is one of 38 drivers to have filed entries so far for round two of the new pavement Super Late Model series. By virtue of his March 11 win in Pensacola, Roderick will come to Madison as the series points leader on May 7. In addition to claiming the checkered flag at the conclusion of the Sunshine State 200, Roderick also earned points for winning two stages, and bonus points for leading the most laps. The ASA STARS National Tour is offering a $100,000 point fund – with $25,000 going to the championship team, and an additional $5,000 bonus to the champion driver.
The Joe Shear Classic will be Roderick’s third appearance in Wisconsin (2021 WIR, 2019 Milwaukee). He is a former champion of the ASA Southern Super Series, and recently won the World Series of Asphalt championship at New Smyrna Speedway (FL) during Speedweeks in February.
