COFFEE CUP TICKET SALE DATE
POSTPONED TO SEPT. 4
Race fans can purchase tickets for the upcoming indoor
Three-Quarter Midget event at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center in
Providence, R.I., on Friday, Sept. 4 at noon.
Originally, tickets were to be on sale on Sept. 1, however there
was a delay in ticket production by Ticketmaster. Tickets
can be purchased at all Ticketmaster locations and the Dunkin’
Donut Center box office.
Ticketmaster can be reached online at
www.ticketmaster.com or by calling 1-800-745-3000.
Information on the event will be available at aarn.com or by
calling 609-888-3618. The two-day event is scheduled to take
place on December 4 and 5.
Ticket prices for Dec. 4 are: $25 (front row-only); $20
(adults); and $15 (child). Tickets for Dec. 5 are: $30 (front
row-only); $25 (adult); and $15 (child).
Based on the success last March of the first professional auto
racing event held in the Ocean State in 50 years, the roar of
engines will once again be heard Rhode Island indoor
arena. Fans are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance of the
event.
Defending and current NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion Ted
Christopher won in front of a packed house in March, when he
claimed the inaugural event.
Notable early entries for the Three-Quarter Midget race includes
Mike Iles of Medford, N.J., who won the Friday night 20-lap
feature race in March; multi-time time NASCAR Modified and Busch
North champion Mike Stefanik of Coventry, R.I.; and dirt
Modified racing standout Billy Pauch of Frenchtown, N.J.
This will be Pauch’s first entry in an automobile racing event
in Rhode Island. Pauch captured an indoor TQ Midget event at the
Atlantic City (N.J.) Boardwalk Hall in January, and he’s
expected to be a top contender to win at the Dunkin’ Donuts
Center.
“There is a lot of buzz about our return to Providence,” said
event organizer Len Sammons. “Fans can expect to see the same
close-knit and competitive racing as we had in March.”
Dunkin’ Donuts will be joining Castle Equipment Company to
sponsor the event, to be known as the “Coffee Cup”.
The format will be similar to the one used in March. The
Three-Quarter Midgets and Senior Champ Karts will headline the
two-day program. Feature events for both classes are scheduled
each night.
