SAFELITE AUTO GLASS TO SPONSOR LATE MODELS

    Coming off one of their better seasons in 2004, the Riverhead Raceway Late Models got some good news.  Heading into the 2005 opening night April 30th Safelite Auto Glass has signed on as a seasonal sponsor for the new campaign. The Late Models will be among six divisions that make-up the 2005 roster at Barbara and Jim Cromarty's quarter mile speed path.
    The Safelite Auto Glass sponsorship will come from their Riverhead location at 222. West Main where former Mini-Modified driver Richie Searles operates the facility. Searles, who ran the Mini's from 1981 until '83 and in the 1990's ran a brief NASCAR Modified effort, was excited about his new alliance with Riverhead Raceway. "As everyone knows NASCAR racing offers a great marketing opportunity and the Dodge Weekly Series at Riverhead gives the local business person an affordable avenue of advertising" Searles indicated.
    Aside from the Riverhead location Safelite Auto Glass has four other Long Island location, plus 30 vans Safelite utilizes for their mobile auto glass repair service. Searles and his staff will host the Safelite Auto Glass night on Saturday night July 9th.
    Joining the Late Models on the April 30th NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series opener at Riverhead will be the NASCAR Modifieds, Figure Eights, Chargers, Blunderbusts and Super Pro Trucks. Qualifying is set for 4:30 pm and main event racing will commence at 6:00 pm.
