When the No. 20 Tony Stewart Racing/Bass Pro Shops/Eagle team rolls into Tri-City Speedway this Friday night, driver Paul McMahan will be feeling very much at home. While the black dirt of Tri-City Speedway in Pontoon Beach, Ill., is a long way from his home state of California, McMahan has found success at the newly reconfigured 3/8-mile dirt oval.
McMahan collected the first of his two A-main event victories at Tri-City on Sept. 16, 2000 in World of Outlaws (WoO) Gum-Out Series competition. He picked up his second A-main win at the facility on June 22, 2003. The track was a sweeping half-mile circuit until a recent reconfiguration transformed it into a 3/8-mile semi-banked speedplant. Since joining Tony Stewart Racing (TSR) earlier this year, McMahan has found success on 3/8-mile tracks, having won at USA Race Park on March 4.
