Memorial Day Weekend Ready to Roll at Riverhead

Barbara & Jim Cromarty will usher the unofficial start of summer on Long Island over the Memorial Day weekend with two great race meets Saturday evening May 25th and Sunday afternoon May 26th. at Riverhead Raceway. The season’s first Demolition Derby, a 4-Cylinder affair will join the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series stock cars Saturday, while a full card of Enduro racing will take center stage Sunday afternoon at 12:30 pm.

Andrew Fowler of Wantagh will defend his 2012 Demolition Derby title starting this Saturday night when the 4-Cylinder cars take to the track for another bone-jarring and car destroying Demolition Derby. The competitors and fans both love the 4-Cylinder events as for the competitors the cars are much easier to build and for the fans and competitors alike they seem to last longer than their 8-Cylinder counterparts. Several tested tough drivers are set to try and wrestle the Demo title away from Fowler as each event pays 100-points to the winner, 80 markers for Judge’s Choice and 60 to the Fan’s Choice winner. All drivers who take to the track receive 30-points for entering and competing in a Demolition Derby. The 2013 season will conclude with the $1,500 to win Miller Lite National Demolition Derby Championship for the 8-Cylinder cars Saturday September 28th.

The NASCAR Modifieds will run their first 35-lap feature event after opening the season with two Twin 30 lap main events with time trial qualifying and be joined by Twin 15’s for the Late Models who will also qualify via time trials. The Chargers, Super Pro Trucks, Legend Race Cars and an 8-Cylinder Enduro will all join the Saturday night portion of the weekend with feature event racing starting at 5:30 pm.

Sunday afternoon will find the 8-Cylinder Enduro teams right back in action to help celebrate the 28th Anniversary of Enduro racing at Riverhead Raceway and run in two feature events on the day. The Grand Enduro, 4/6-Cylinder Truck Enduro and a 4/6-Cylinder Car Enduro will all join in on the fun. In the event of rain the Sunday portion of the weekend would be run on Memorial Day, Monday May 27th.
