RIVERHEAD RACEWAY ADDS SEASONAL SPONSORS PRIOR TO OPENER

    Like a flurry of trading just before the closing bell on New York's famed Wall Street, Riverhead Raceway officials were busy lining up seasonal sponsors on the eve of the 2004 NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series opener. Four additional Long Island based companies have signed on with four divisions for the new season.
    The NASCAR Modifieds will find Trailer Transport returning to the fold for 2004. It was also disclosed that the Westbury based firm would return with the Super Pro Truck troops as well this season. Two Trailer Transport nights will be held in '04, the first on Saturday night May 29th for the Modifieds with July 31st set aside for the Super Pro Trucks.
    Also rejoining the NASCAR Modifieds for this season are the U.S. Marine Corps through their Long Island recruiting station. The U.S. Marine Corps will host their night at the race on Saturday July 17th, which has been dubbed "Motorcycle Mayhem" with Jim "Crash" Moreau performing during the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series program.
    The return of both Trailer Transport and U.S. Marine Corps brings the total of seasonal sponsor in the NASCAR Modifieds to five, with Miller Lite, Eagle Chevrolet and Viagra already on board.
    Victory Fleet Maintenance this week agreed to re-sign with the Blunderbust class for 2004, despite the fact they will field a team in the Super Pro Truck division. A "night at the races" program will be announced in the near future, which will be hosted by Carl and Betsi Rackoff from Victory Fleet Maintenance. New York Metro Peterbilt and Doug Wholey's Excavating will join Victory as Blunderbust sponsors in 2004.
    On Wednesday of this week it was announced that Amity Nissan Superstore has signed on to be a seasonal sponsor for both the Late Model and Super Pro Truck divisions. Rich Cardella and staff from the Amity Nissan Superstore will host two "night at the races", first on June 26th for the Late Models, and second with the Super Pro Truck night on September 5th.
    Amity Nissan Superstore joins Eagle Chevrolet in backing the Late Models and is joined in the Super Pro Trucks by Auto Tech Diagnostic and Trailer Transport.
    The NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series continues every Saturday evening at Riverhead Raceway with qualifying at 4:30 pm and main event racing starting at 6:30 pm. For further information please contact us at 631-842-RACE or log onto www.riverheadraceway.com
