When Fort Kent's Austin Theriualt climbs back in his #52 Ken Schrader Racing ARCA car this weekend in Nashville, it will have been seven weeks since he last raced.

But then, the same is true for all the ARCA Series drivers. It's just the way the schedule is set up. Starting this weekend, the racing schedule gets much more consistent.

The good thing about having the seven weeks off, Theriault has the top ranked driver every day because of his win at Daytona on February 17th. A great deal of publicity has come from that finish.

The 200-lap race in Nashville is Saturday night and Theriault says he is more than ready.
