List of Entrants for LegendStock 2009 Grows
by Tracy Chirico

With just over a month remaining before the August 15th LegendStock 2009 event at Bethel Motor Speedway (NY), the list of entrants is on the rise. Last year, more than 35 Legends talents from across the Northeast and beyond took part in the $1,500-to-win event, and that number is expected to be even higher this year.

So far, drivers from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut have all expressed their intent to take part in the event. A number of drivers with longer trips are also expected, coming from as far away as Virginia, Georgia, and Minnesota. Bethel Motor Speedway regulars such as Mike Alcaro, Kevin Nowak, Matt Maring, Joe DeGracia, John Hugate, Joe Fresco, and Raven Schrantz are expected to do battle with accomplished drivers from other tracks, including Tim Brockhouse, Andrew Smith, and Kevin Yeatts.

Mike Alcaro is five-for-five in his visits to Bethel Motor Speedway so far in the 2009 season, while events have also been won by Kenny VanWickle and Joe DeGracia in Alcaro's absence. Alcaro finished second overall in the LegendStock 2008 event, and was the Semi-Pro division winner. He is competing in the Pro division this year.

Last year's Masters division winner Tim Brockhouse has filed his entry for LegendStock 2009. LegendStock 2008 overall and Pro division winner Michael Gervais Jr. has not yet confirmed his entry, but has expressed an interest in competing, in spite of the fact that he has moved out of Legends racing.

LegendStock 2009 has a guaranteed purse of $3,000., and will pay a minimum of $1,500. to the winner. The entry fee for a Legends car and driver is $50, and entry forms are available online.

Bandoleros will also be on the schedule, and Bandolero drivers will have their entry fee waived.

Gates are scheduled to open at 11 a.m. on August 15th, with qualifying slated to begin at 3 p.m. A combination of time trials and heat race finishes will be used to determine the starting lineup for the race.

Full details and entry forms are available at www.legendstock2009.com.
