Ordway Jr. Joins Lee USA NEMA Field
Brockton, MA — Mike Ordway Jr. will be in the Bertrand #39 for Friday night’s Northeastern Midget Association event at Lee USA Speedway. Ordway brings a strong resume to the ride.
Pointing out the 2005 350-Super champion “studies Lee USA Speedway like a quintessential student,” owner Tim Bertrand called the second generation driver “a great choice.”
The NEMA Lites will be on hand as well in what will be the club’s only visit to Lee this season.
Ordway will be a teammate of two-time defending champion Randy Cabral and Chris DeRitis in what has become NEMA’s busiest pit. USAC standout Cole Carter and Sprint Cup regular Ryan Newman drove the car to runner up finishes last year.
Equipped with a new Esslinger engine out of Circle Performance in Brockton, MA, the 2006 ISMA Rookie of the Year joins a field bolstered by the season debut of Jeff Abold (in a joint effort by the Abold and Seymour families) and Bobby Santos III (who is subbing for sister Erica in the Breault 44).
Jeff Horn, a Lee winner last September, leads a NEMA rush to the third mile that includes, in addition to Cabral and DeRitis, Adam Cantor, Jim Miller, Lee Bundy, Barry Kittredge and Greg and Russ Stoehr.
