BDI Racing and its newest driver to the team's stable, Dakoda Armstrong, will make their debut together on Saturday, June 6 th in the ASA Southeast Asphalt Tour event at Watermelon Capital Speedway in Cordele, Georgia. Armstrong is one of the top young talents in the open-wheel sprint and midget ranks and is the current USAC regional midget point leader, but he'll be building on his stock car racing career experience this weekend at Watermelon Capital. Armstong recently signed a three-race program with BDI Racing, a top-flight Chevrolet short track raicng development team, and will enter two more races beyond this weekend's ASA Southeast race. BDI Racing's other Super Late Model driver, Michael Pope, will be at the track in a “driver coach” role for Armstrong and will be in the veteran teammate role on the track in the other two of Armstrong's events with BDI Racing.

BACK AT THE ‘MELON – The “Watermelon 100” will mark only the BDI Racing team's third Super Late Model start at Watermelon Capital Speedway. BDI Racing's drivers have a best finish of sixth in the previous two events, which came on April 4 th , 2009 in the CRA South Super Late Model event aat WCS. The track is one that Armstrong's teammate Michael Pope is quite familiar with, as well. Pope's hometown, Dublin, Georgia, is only 45 minutes from WCS and the 19-year-old driver considers the 3/8-mile D-shaped oval his home track. Pope has competed at WCS in Legends

Cars and in his family-owned Late Models in years past, including a fourth-place finish in a Super Late Model event at WCS with the PASS South tour in 2008.

DAKODA ARMSTRONG'S THOUGHTS ON THE CORDELE EVENT: “For an open-wheel driver who's just now starting to race big cars, you learn just how different they are. These cars are so much heavier. Just getting laps is the biggest thing for me. I'm looking forward to this race and hopefully we'll be able to keep the fenders on it, finish the race and gain some experience as we go on down the road.”

WHO IS THIS KID? – Dakoda Armstrong's stock has risen immensely on the names of many NASCAR scouts as a driver to watch, thanks in large part to his phenomenal success in USAC competition.
