One of Anderson Speedway’s most accomplished hometown racers is set to take on the biggest challenge of his career, as Josh Poore will officially compete in the 78th Annual Unified Group Services Little 500 presented by Ed Martin Automotive Group at Anderson Speedway, driving for AP Driver Development with primary sponsorship from Yarberry Companies.

ANDERSON, Ind. - For Pendleton’s Travis Welpott, the Unified Group Services Little 500 presented by ED Martin Automotive Group has always represented something bigger than just another race.

“It’s the pinnacle of pavement sprint car racing,” Welpott said. “For a non-wing guy, this is what you dream about. It’s the biggest race there is.”

This May, Welpott will return to Anderson Speedway’s historic 500-lap classic after enduring one of the toughest stretches of his racing career. A grueling two-year battle with wrist injuries that nearly ended his time behind the wheel.
