Speedway star story!!



AMERICAN Dream Team bosses Steve Evans & Gary Gomez say they are thrilled to take his team to Birmingham in April for the opening of the Dudley Heathens.
And in an ironic twist, Evans is a passionate Wolves fan and admits he would like to put one over the old enemy!
Evans was brought up on the Monmore Green terraces before moving to the USA where he's been involved as a promoter and the co-driving force behind the Dream Team project with Gomez.
They will face the new Heathens side at Perry Barr on Wednesday, April 7 - subject to the club getting the green light from National League chiefs at their meeting later this month.
Said Evans: "We are thrilled to have the opportunity to take the guys to Birmingham for the opening night of the Heathens.
"From my own involvement in Billy Hamill's Farewell meeting last year I know how passionate Heathens fans are and it just shows how much they would support their team with their own track. This National League team is the next logical step towards bringing the Cradley name back.
"The old rivalry between Cradley and Wolves was amazing and although I'm delighted to be with my team on opening night I also want to beat them. It would be a nice feeling for me personally to beat the Heathens!"
Heathens bosses are awaiting news on their application to join the National League with the meeting set for January 27.
Team manager Will Pottinger, who visited Newport on Sunday for their New Year Classic, says the holiday period was a quiet time for the club.
He said: "Team plans are on hold until the National League meeting, that's what we are waiting for now. We are hopeful everything will be fine, but the other clubs have to decide on our application and until a decision is made we cannot make any further comment on the team.
"It's been a quiet time for us over Christmas and New Year, but things should start moving once we know where we stand with the league
