ANGUS JOINS DRIVING COLONY

22-year-old Ryan Angus has been making daily trips to The Meadows in recent weeks and continues to pick up more drives.  The Ohio native has been a regular at Northfield Park for the last few seasons and this year marked his first venture to Pennsylvania. He has ties to the area, as he is related to the Beinhauer family, longtime Meadows regulars, on his grandmother’s side of the family.  His father, Ryan, has also raced at The Meadows as a trainer/driver many times over the years.
