ROCKINGHAM, N.C. (Nov. 8, 2010) ? There is no bigger event for the Frank Kimmel Street Stock Nationals (FKSSN) than the Polar Bear 150 at Rockingham Speedway, and the popular race just got a little more exciting as Kurt Busch has announced he will compete in the third installment of the event on Saturday, November 27.
?What a tremendous honor it is to have NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion Kurt Busch come and compete with our racers at Rockingham Speedway,? said nine-time ARCA Racing Series champion and series founder, Frank Kimmel. ?I think it is a tremendous opportunity for our series with the amount of exposure that Kurt will bring to our race, but also for our drivers.
