NASR is proud to announce the eighth participant to be selected for the 2011 NASR Rising Star Program, Sam Putland of Woodside, South Australia.
Sam began racing Karts in 2003 and has been a Speedway competitor since 2007, racing in a Lightning Sprint. Sam continues to race Karts during the Speedway offseason to improve his skills.
