SAK Construction

Proud to be a sponsor of 16-year-old driver Edison “Eddie Money” Aldrich and the Aldrich Racing team.

The SAK team was up at Cedar Lake Speedway in St. Croix County, Wisconsin this weekend as the 16-year-old worked his way from 10th to a 6th place finish in the A-main—while also turning the fastest lap of the race.

A Strong run with plenty more ahead. Next stops on the circuit take the team to Tri-Cities (IL) and Lucas Oil Speedway in Kansas City.

Looking forward to following their season.
