[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Whispers of the Super DIRTcar Series have echoed throughout Ohio with its presence made a handful of times in the state but at the end of March, those whispers will be drowned by a rumble again.<\/p>\n

The Series returns to Ohio for the first time since 2019, making its debut at Atomic Speedway, March 25-26, with Ohio-native Rex King, Jr. planning to add to the Rumble in the Hills.<\/p>\n

Of the eight Series visits to Ohio \u2013 six times at Eldora Speedway and twice at Sharon Speedway \u2013 King participated in five of those events, earning a career-best finish of fifth at Eldora.<\/p>\n

For the Bristolville, OH driver and BRP Modified champion, it\u2019s a rare chance to step on the biggest stage there is for Big Block Modified racing in front of his local fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s awesome racing with those (Super DIRTcar Series) guys,\u201d King said. \u201cEveryone is really professional. I like it because I can learn a lot from their driving style. They work on their cars throughout the night, learning how they prep throughout the day for the race. It\u2019s really good. It\u2019s great for me to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes we are a little more competitive than not, which is nice. Makes you feel like you\u2019re getting somewhere in the sport, not just riding around. So, that\u2019s nice.\u201d<\/p>\n
