Riverhead Raceway to Host King of the Mountain Qualifier
Barbara and Jim Cromarty's Riverhead
Raceway has been producing talented Modified drivers for years.
And on August 27, the winner of the Modified feature event at
Riverhead Raceway, will earn the right to represent Long
Island's only short track at Mountain Speedway's 12th annual
"King Of The Mountain" 150 lap event. The KOTM has quickly
become a prestigious Modified event in the northeast, and this
year's event will take place on Sunday, October 9th, as part of
Mountain's huge fall finale weekend.
Paying a respectable five-thousand dollars to the winner, this
fall classic is once again expected to draw some of the top
names in the mighty Modified ranks. Many Long Island based
Modified teams have competed at the KOTM in years past,
including John Fortin, Chuck Steuer, Bill Park, Dave Sapienza,
and 2006 Mountain Speedway Modified champion Eddie Brunnhoelzl
III, among others.
The winner of the August 27th Modified feature event at
Riverhead Raceway, will earn a guaranteed starting position for
the KOTM 150, and the right to represent Riverhead Raceway at
the 1/3 mile Mountain Speedway oval located in St. Johns,
Pennsylvania.
Race fans will surely want to mark their calendars now for
October 8-9, as the Pocono region of Pennsylvania will roar to
the sound of the mighty 600 horsepower Modifieds, along with
several support divisions competing in extra distance feature
events.
Additional qualifiers will be added at other racing venues as
the season progresses. A KOTM qualifier schedule will also be
posted on the Mountain Speedway website.
