Daytona ARCA winner Greg Van Alst "nervous" in return to track
Greg Van Alst, a veteran short track racer, suffered a fractured vertebra in a crash at Talladega Superspeedway last October, which ended his breakout season. Despite the setback, Van Alst was determined to return to racing. After a 12-week recovery period, he has been cleared to compete again. Van Alst will participate in this weekend’s preseason ARCA test at Daytona, hoping to repeat his victory in the season opener. He plans on running a full-time season in ARCA and has brought on fellow racer Isaac Johnson as a teammate. While open to opportunities in Xfinity or Trucks, Van Alst’s focus is on building his own racing organization and achieving more wins in ARCA.
