Saturday night June 3rd is going to be a very important night in the season long championship chase for three of the five divisions of the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series at Riverhead Raceway. The NASCAR Modified, Chargers and Blunderbusts will all race for double points in extra distance main events.
    The premier division of the weekly schedule at Barbara and Jim Cromarty’s historic oval remain the NASCAR Modifieds who will race in their first double point race of 2006. The main event will be 50-laps and feature time trial qualifying on this night, which in years past was the first of two races for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour.
    Those looking to use this race as a springboard to the 2006 NASCAR Modified title will be defending champion Bill Park along with the likes of Howie Brode, Chris Young, Sal Accardi Jr., J.R. Bertuccio, Chuck Steuer, Wayne Anderson, Dan Jivanelli and Frank Vigliarolo Jr.
    The Charger and Blunderbust divisions will both race in their second double point race of 2006 and both classes are scheduled for heat race qualifying. Steve Ratti won the first 30-lap race of ’06 for the Chargers while the first 30-lap Blunderbust race of the year was not run as of press time and was set for May 20th.
    Rounding out the five for one program will be the Late Models and Figure Eights.
    Time trials for the NASCAR Modifieds will start the qualifying procedure at 4:00 pm and main event racing will take the green flag at 6:00 pm. For additional information please call Riverhead Raceway at 631-842-RACE or check us out on the worldwide web at www.riverheadraceway.com.
