Bigfoot to Highlight Labor Day Weekend
Monster Truck Extravaganza at Riverhead Raceway

After a one year hiatus, the car-crushing Monster Trucks will make a triumphant return to Barbara & Jim Cromarty's Riverhead Raceway for a Labor Day weekend doubleheader. The shows will star the most well known name in Monster Trucks - Bigfoot - who will lead a three-truck field into freestyle competition.

Bigfoot has not only thrilled Monster Truck fans across the United States in performances at race tracks and county fairs, but also has appeared in numerous Hollywood movie and television productions. Scheduled to appear along with Bigfoot are Viper and Thrasher and fans should note the popular Monster Truck rides will also return to Riverhead Raceway on Labor Day weekend.

Saturday evening August 30th will see the Chargers racing for the JMB Construction night hardware, honoring their seasonal sponsor. The NASCAR Modifieds, Blunderbusts and Super Pro Trucks will join them.

After competing in three Blindfolded Taxi Cab races in 2008, the drivers will shed the blindfold and a Taxi Cab Demolition Derby will complete the Saturday night program. Action on Saturday will find qualifying heats at 5:00 pm and feature racing will start at 6:00 pm.

Sunday August 31st will find Bigfoot & friends returning for a matinee performance and joined by the Legends race cars, a Car Rollover Contest and various Enduro races during the 12:30 pm show. In the event of rain the Sunday show only has a rain date of Monday September 1st.
