NEW YORK METRO PETERBILT RENEWS WITH BLUNDERBUSTS

    Week in and week out the stars of the Blunderbust division of the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series entertain the faithful fans of Riverhead Raceway and it was announced today that New York Metro Peterbilt would be returning with the popular class for 2004 as a seasonal sponsor.
    An active marketing partner with Riverhead Raceway since 1997, New Metro Peterbilt will once again add money to the Blunderbust purse on a weekly basis in 2004. Hands down the weekly 20-lap feature events for the Blunderbusts are always highly competitive, featuring a combination of great racing and unpredictability.
     New York Metro Peterbilt boasts two locations at 18 Central Avenue in Hauppauge as well 31-31 123rd St in Flushing, Queens and they will host their night at the races on Saturday June 19th.
    Eugene Malverty is the two-time defending champion in the Blunderbusts and although he would not defend his crown, indications are he indeed will. Among those out to dethrone Malverty will be Bobb Gardner, Chris Chirico, Kevin Clarke, Anthony Aiello, Doug Watson, Chris Busick and Tommy Walkowiak.
    The Blunderbusts waste no time getting down to serious business on opening night April 24th, as they'll race in a 30-lap, double point feature event. A full card of NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series competition will also be presented featuring the NASCAR Modifieds, Late Models, Figure Eights, Chargers and Super Pro Trucks.
    Qualifying will commence at 4:30 pm and feature event racing will go green at 6:30 pm.
    Additional information can be obtained by calling the track office at 631-842-RACE or visiting www.riverheadraceway.com.
