Sam Widger was no stranger to success in Indiana in recent years, but this season the longtime driver took to calling Ohio home when it came to racing. The change has worked out well, with Widger setting a career-high with $4.25 million in purses.
Prior to this year, Widger spent some of the early parts of recent seasons racing at Ohio’s Miami Valley Raceway while Harrah’s Hoosier Park was on its three-month winter break. This year, Widger finished sixth in wins at Miami Valley with 91, two victories behind Tyler Smith in fifth. In the previous two years, Widger was 10th in the standings.
