Riverhead Raceway "I Love America" Fireworks Set for August 23rd

Barbara & Jim Cromarty of Riverhead Raceway have set this Saturday August 23rd aside for the annual celebration of I Love America night which will feature another spectacular Fireworks display presented by Bay Fireworks. The NASCAR Whelen All-American Series stock cars will be in action on Donaldsons VW-Subaru night that also features a Mini-School Bus Demolition Derby.

The August 23rd program will be the first of three remaining NASCAR Modified point races on the 2008 slate with Bill Park of Manorville, John Fortin of Holtsville and Howie Brode of East Islip ranked among the top three in points going into action August 16th. Joining the Modifieds are the Figure Eights, who will race for the B. Sexton Site Development night trophy, Blunderbusts and a Grand Enduro event that was added to the schedule just weeks ago.

Additionally two other exciting family entertainment events are planned for Saturday in the form of One-On-One Spectator Drags and a wild Car Rollover Contest will also add to the fun.

The Fireworks display of course will take place during the program when the sky is dark enough for another fantastic performance by Long Island's own Bay Fireworks. The Mini School Bus Demolition Derby will feature the likes of Michael "Cheesebox" Rommeney, "Slim" Jim Donaldson, "Tiny" Tim Farrell and Bob "Whiplash" Genovese.

Qualifying is set for 5:00 pm and feature racing will start at 6:00 pm. Further information can be obtained by call 631-842-RACE or visiting our website at www.riverheadraceway.com.
