Rollercoaster season brings Erickson to Super Nationals
BOONE, Iowa – The 2022 season has been a rollercoaster ride for Friesen Performance IMCA Northern SportMod competitor Clay Erickson.
Making the journey from Phoenix, Ariz., he is attempting to make his first Big Dance at the 40th annual IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s. His week will start Saturday with the Wild Rose Casino Prelude.
“My hope is just to make the ‘A’ main this year on any of the prelim nights,” said Clay. “Last year we flat out sucked, so at least we want to make one main to try and get in the big show on Saturday.”
Despite not making a qualifier or The Big Dance, Erickson did become just the second Arizona driver to qualify for the BSB Manufacturing Race of Champions.
“This year, we have had bad luck by getting crashed out a lot,” he said, “but we have some wins, so that’s good, and I’m hoping to end the year strong.”
Erickson has won three times in his home state, including two wins at Canyon Speedway Park.
