Bryan Hulbert – VADO, N.M. (August 27, 2019) Getting back to action after taking time off during the hottest stretch of the Summer, the ASCS Southwest Region hits the clay this Saturday, August 31 and Sunday, September 1 at Vado Speedway Park.
A short drive south of Las Cruces, N.M. on I-10, the three-eighths-mile oval still has the new dirt track smell as it’s only been in operation since June 14, 2019.

A close game by any measure, for several in the ASCS Southwest Region, this weekend will be their first trip to Vado Speedway Park.
