TRAILER TRANSPORT TO BACK MODIFIEDS AND TRUCKS

    Riverhead Raceway officials announced today that long time NASCAR Modified and Super Pro Truck seasonal sponsor Trailer Transport of Westbury will return in that capacity with those two classes for 2003. Both divisions will be part of the big opening night program Barbara and Jim Cromarty have slated for Saturday April 26th.
    Trailer Transport will add money to both the NASCAR Modified and Super Pro Truck purses in 2003, a role they have played for many a season with both divisions. Trailer Transport hauls and sets-up mobile and modular trailers that are used as offices or on construction sights. Bill Denniston who alongwith his wife Ellen owns and operates Trailer Transport was named to the Chief Steward position at Riverhead in November.  Since his seasonal sponsorship had been in place for several seasons there is no reason to change the format for 2003.
    The NASCAR Modifieds will run a 35-lap main event on opening night with a star-studded field expected to compete not only during the lid lifter, but all spring and summer long. A 20-lap feature is on tap for the Super Pro Truck troops and the "tailgate" brigade is hopeful for a good season also.
    The Trailer Transport night for the trucks will be May 17th, while the "mod squad" will race for the Trailer Transport hardware on June 21st.
    Rounding out the six-division opening night card will be the Late Models, Figure Eights, Chargers and Blunderbusts. Qualifying will start at 4:30 pm, with the feature events set for a 6:30 pm start.
