Unique Golf Returns as Trophy Sponsor
Unique Golf of Babylon Village has returned to Riverhead Raceway as the victory lane trophy sponsor for the 2013 NASCAR Whelen All-American Series it was announced on opening night as Barbara & Jim Cromarty ushered in a new race season. The track will run weekly from now until Saturday September 28th presenting a great combination of stock car racing and family entertainment events for all to enjoy.
“On the nights where there is not a trophy from either Riverhead Raceway or one of its many marketing partners Jim Wichert of Unique Golf has graciously agreed to sponsor the victory lane trophies once again this year” Bob Finan disclosed in making the announcement. Unique Golf, voted Long Island’s Best Golf Shop for the third year in a row by the Long Island Press and its readers, is located in the scenic Village of Babylon.
Aside from his involvement with the trophies Jim Wichert is also an avid racer himself as he owns the Late Model of Jeremy McDermott of Riverhead, who won on opening night earning a Unique Golf trophy, while Jim also competes in the 4/6-Cylinder Truck Enduro class at the track. Wichert has also sold a complete set of laps for the August 17th 50-lap Late Model race on the Wall of Fame night and has already sold half of a second set making that race a very lucrative one.
The 2013 NASCAR Whelen All American Series will continue this Saturday May 18th at Riverhead Raceway with the Figure Eight class stepping into the spotlight as they run the annual Cromarty Cup 20 in honor of promoter Barbara Cromarty’s birthday. Ken Hyde Jr. of Medford is the defending race winner. In addition to the Figure 8’s all races from the rained out May 11th show will be running with the Twin 30 NASCAR Modifieds, Late Models, Chargers, Blunderbusts, Super Pro Trucks and Legend Race Cars. Feature event racing will be at 5:30 pm.
