The American Speed Association Midwest Tour joins Elko Speedway for the 4th annual Thunderstruck 93 event on Saturday, September 22nd in honor of Dan Ryan Sr. who lost his life to ALS. This race will be 125 laps with a break at lap 93 in memory of Dan.
The credibility of the ASA Midwest Tour combined with one of the most prestigious short tracks in the Midwest will bring power to an event that draws people out for a great night of racing and more importantly for a great cause.
“Tom Ryan reached out to us a few years back about sanctioning this event but our schedules just couldn’t line up,” said Steve Einhaus, ASAMT Vice President. “With some recent changes to our 2012 schedule, it opened up an opportunity for us to find a date and make it happen. Everyone on the tour loves to race at Elko, its continually one of our best races of the year and a race that adds power to the current season schedule. To be able to be a part of such a great charity foundation (ALS) and to honor Dan Ryan is going to be special to everyone involved and we are proud to be able to bring the stars of the ASAMT to Elko twice this year.”
The race is hosted by the Ryan Family in conjunction with ARWW-ALS. Thunderstruck 93 was named after one of Dan’s favorite songs and includes his nickname “Thunder” and his racing number, 93. Fans can get involved and be a part of the event by becoming a lap sponsor. Half of the sponsorship dollars will directly benefit those with ALS, while the other half goes to the driver leading that lap.

In the past six years, A Race Worth Winning has raised over $275,000 to help Minnesotans living with ALS.
