September 30, 2011 By Scott Lukaitis Leave a Comment

You can meet 2011 Lites National Champion Dean Wilson (@DeanWilson15) at this weekend’s KROC at Raceway Park in Englishtown NJ.

Wilson broke the news on his Twitter account this afternoon and it was confirmed this evening with Raceway Park track manager Rich Schmidt.

Wilson is unable to ride due to a broken wrist he suffered at the final round of the national series but will be on hand signing autographs with his good hand on Sunday.
