(July 14, 2010) -Frank Kimmel is ready to get back to his short-track racing roots at Mansfield Motorsports Park on Saturday, July 17 for the Tim Richmond Memorial 200. With only one previous ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards race at the half-mile oval, Kimmel will be on even footing with the rest of the drivers in the field, and he is looking forward to that challenge. "Well I'm a little anxious about getting to Mansfield. We didn't really run very well there last year, didn't have a great car and struggled most of the day. We ended up losing the breaks, so it was a struggle for us. I really like Mansfield, I enjoy the race track, and it's exactly for what I come from as far as short track racing. I'm actually looking forward to going back and changing our set up and trying to work up some things that will hopefully make us more competitive than last year."
