CHAD’S HAPPY TO BE BACK
CHAD Wirtzfeld is keen to make the most of his return to shale racing this year after accepting a team place in the NDL with Belle Vue.
Wirtzfeld has been away from speedway for nearly three years having focused on grass track and longtrack, but now he’s looking forward to a new start with the Colts.
He said: “I’ve only raced the National Speedway Stadium once, many years ago and it didn’t perhaps go as well as I was hoping it would, but at that time I was still getting used to racing.
“I feel I’ve got a lot more experience now than I had then. My grasstrack racing is going very well and I’ve spent the last couple of years doing everything I can in the UK and Europe to get my name out.
“When Mark [Lemon] called me about coming to Belle Vue, I feel it was a sign that now was a good time to come back into speedway because I did enjoy it.
“With the support network at Belle Vue, I know I’m in one of the best places I could possibly be to further my career, and I will try to do the best I can.”
