Grit Series Invades Tuesday June 16th; 305 Sprints Scheduled For Friday July 24th
DUNDEE, NY – For Immediate Release – June 10th, 2015 –
The second June mid-week must-see event at Black Rock Speedway is coming up on Tuesday June 16th as the SUNY Canton Grit Racing Series presented by Teo Pro Car is set to invade. This event falls on the Grit American Racer calendar and comes just 5 days after a Grit Series event at neighboring Canandaigua Motorsports Park.
Promoter Mike Jackson will be on hand at Canandaigua to award a guaranteed starting spot to the Grit Hoosier winner on June 11th for the show at Black Rock. The SUNY Canton Grit Series will be the feature division on Tuesday that kicks off at 7PM sharp.
The last time the Grit Series was in town, Rocky Warner pulled off an impressive comeback from the back to the front in the Crate Classic 100 held back in October of 2014. Warner is now with a new team in the Jake Spraker-owned 1J and has been a force to reckon with in 2015.
Grit point leader Dave Marcuccilli looks to be tough as well, but don’t forget about defending Black Rock Speedway Crate Sportsman champion Casey Pavlick. Pavlick leads the points at ‘The Rock’ so far in 2015 and also picked up his first Grit win of 2015 at Skyline just a few weeks back.
Support divisions that will also be on hand for the June 16th show will be the M&M Auto Sales & Service IMCA Modifieds, Morseman Racing Chassis Street Stocks and NAPA Know How 4 Cylinders. The Street Stocks and 4 Cylinders will race for 15 show up points and will use the draw/redraw format for this show only. Speedway officials are still working to confirm with the IMCA sanctioning body for permission to run race under the same format for the IMCA division.
Admission on Tuesday will be just $12, with seniors and ages 12-17 being just $10. Children under 12 are always free at Black Rock Speedway. Pit admission is set at $27 for members and $35 for non-members. Pit gates open at 4PM, Grandstands at 5PM and racing getting underway at 7.
305 Sprints Added To July 24th Racing Card
With Canandaigua Motorsports Park not racing on July 25th due to the Ontario County Fair, promoter Mike Jackson has worked alongside the Ruggles family to promote a 305 Sprint Car special on Friday July 24th.
The show is open to any 305 sprint car with the show following Canandaigua Motorsports Park rules for this division. This 20-lap, draw/re-draw format race will pay $500-to-win, $150 for 10th place and will pay $100 to start.
In addition to the posted purse, the Ruggles team of Darryl, Wendy and Alysha have already started to collect lap money for this 305 special. The lap money will be awarded throughout the top 9 running positions during the 20-lap feature in an effort to spread the lap money to as many drivers as possible.
A full weekly racing program sponsored by the Knapp & Schlappi Lumber Company is also on tap for Friday July 24th at ‘The Rock’.
Black Rock Speedway Memberships
As a reminder, speedway memberships will only be sold until the Friday July 3rd race. Drivers are reminded that the $25 membership makes them eligible for all point fund monies at the season-ending banquet. A speedway membership also saves you $5 at the pit gate weekly, which allows the membership to pay for itself in just 5 race events.
Membership sign ups are available at the pit sign-in booth on race night or by making arrangements with Black Rock Speedway Promoter Mike Jackson.
