Rainout Sets Up Busy May 18

A heavy rain started to fall Saturday morning at Riverhead Raceway just as
the pit gates were scheduled to open for round two of the 2013 NASCAR Whelen
All-American Series forcing promoters Barbara & Jim Cromarty to cancel the
evening’s schedules seven for one card. The wash out sets-up a very busy
Saturday evening this coming week May 18th.

The Twin 30’s for the NASCAR Modifieds that were to be contested before the
rains came will now switch to this coming Saturday night and the Late
Models, who were slated to have an off night will now race this week.
Joining them will be the Cromarty Cup 20 for the Figure Eights which was
already on the May 18th schedule with the Chargers, Blunderbusts, Super Pro
Trucks and Legend Race Cars all in action as well. All in all some 185-laps
of feature event racing will be on the menu at Riverhead Raceway this
Saturday.

The rain that hit Riverhead and Long Island at 11:00 am persisted well into
the evening making the choice to call the show before most teams either
arrived at the track or even left their race shops a wise choice indeed,
saving them the expense of fuel towing to the track.

Feature event racing will go green this Saturday May 18th at 5:30 pm, with
the NASCAR Modifieds taking time at 5:00 pm. Those time trials will be
preceded by Legend Race Car heat races. For further information, rules and
entry blanks please visit www.riverheadraceway.com or call the track
business office at 631-842-RACE.
