AMITY NISSAN RETURNS TO SPONSOR TWO RIVERHEAD DIVISIONS

    After a successful first season as a marketing partner at Barbara and Jim Cromarty's Riverhead Raceway, the Amity Nissan Superstore recently signed on to return as a season sponsor for two divisions of the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series. The curtain will go up on all six divisions at the quarter mile oval Saturday evening April 30th, the first half of a doubleheader-opening weekend.
    Rick Cardella of Amity Nissan Superstore of Massapequa will back both the Late Model and Super Pro Truck divisions for 2005 adding weekly purse money for each class. Two Amity Nissan Superstore Night's at the races will be on the 2005 slate with August 13th for the Super Pro Trucks and September 3rd for the Late Models.
    Glenn Tyler of Hampton Bays comes to the 2005 Late Model season as two-time defending champion of the class and he'll shoot for a hat trick of titles in 2005. Lou Maestri of Deer Park won the 2005 Super Pro Truck championship, his first career title and he hopes to repeat this season as well.
    After two pre-season practice sessions on Saturday April 16th and Saturday April 23rd the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series will open up for keeps Saturday April 30th with a busy six-for-one card. Joining the Late Models and Super Pro Trucks will be the NASCAR Modifieds, Figure Eights, Chargers and a 30-lap double point feature for the Blunderbusts.
    Rounding out the opening weekend of racing will be a full card of Enduro racing on Sunday afternoon May 1st featuring a Grand Enduro as well as 8-Cylinder, 6-Cylinder, 4-Cylinder and a 4/6-Cylinder Truck Enduro action. A Car Rollover Contest and One-On-One Spectator Drags will complete the day of racing which starts at 12:30 pm.
