Racing fans will have a lot to be excited about on July 4th when the Stars and Stripes 100 comes to Rolling Wheels Raceway.

Top drivers will be in Elbridge, jockeying for position at the midpoint of the DirtCAR series season.

One of those top drivers is Australia native Peter Britten. The man known as "Batman" on the circuit has burst on to the scene in his second season. Britten is second overall in the standings heading into the weekend races.

Britten says he is looking forward to getting back to Rolling Wheels, a place he's had success before.

"I'm really looking forward to getting back to the wheels," Britten says. "The season kicked off with the Super DirtCAR series at the wheels this year and I ran 4th, and that was a really good result for me."

Gates open at 5 P.M. July 4th, with racing starting at 7:30 P.M. Fireworks will follow the races.
