EAGLE CHEVROLET SCORES RIVERHEAD RACEWAY TRIPLE PLAY

    For the second consecutive season Eagle Chevrolet will serve as a seasonal sponsor for three of the six divisions that make up the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series at Riverhead Raceway. The curtain will come up on the new campaign at Barbara and Jim Cromarty's speed plant on Saturday April 24th with all six classes in action.
    Eagle Chevrolet, located just minutes east of the track at 98 Main Road in Riverhead, will again back the NASCAR Modifieds, Late Models and Chargers in 2004 and will host three separate "night at the races" during the course of the summer. The three dates for those nights will be Saturday June 19th for the Late Models, Saturday July 17th for the Chargers, while the NASCAR Modifieds will have their Eagle Chevrolet night on Saturday September 4th.
    Eagle Chevrolet is part of the Eagle Auto Mall Group and first got involved at Riverhead Raceway by sponsoring a Late Model feature event in 2002. After that successful introduction into stock car racing, Eagle stepped up their marketing effort for 2003 by sponsoring the three divisions.
    The 2004 racing season will kick off with Opening Weekend 2004, with the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series to get things underway on Saturday evening April 24th. On that card will be the NASCAR Modifieds, Late Models, Figure Eights, Chargers, Blunderbusts and Super Pro Trucks.
    The very next afternoon, April 25th, the Enduro series will take their first official green flag with a program of Grand Enduro action, which will be joined by 8 Cylinder, 4 Cylinder and 4/6 Cylinder Truck Enduros, along with Train Race and Car Rollover Contest.
    Action Saturday will start with qualifying at 4:30 pm with feature event racing at 6:30 pm and for Sunday racing will start at 12:30 pm.
