Rain Stalls NEMA Special Event at Seekonk Speedway
Saturday Looks Bright for NEMA Visit to All-Star Speedway

Saturday night, May 19, 2007 was to have been the much-anticipated second race of the 2007 season for the Northeastern Midget Association (NEMA). With heavy rains in the area, host track, Seekonk Speedway, was forced to cancel the night’s racing activities. The event, which was to be held in honor of Stu Murray of Wirtgen America and Mike Jarett of Helping Hands of America, will be rescheduled. A new date for the event will be announced in the coming days.

Also scheduled for last Saturday night was the “National Midget Driver of the Year Night”. Details on the postponement and subsequent rescheduling have yet to be released. The racing community is encouraged to log on to www.nemaracing.com for upcoming announcements.

Fans will only have to wait one more week to watch the mighty midgets, as NEMA heads off for their inaugural visit to the All-Star Speedway in Epping, NH on Saturday night, May 26, 2007.

The Northeastern Midget Association has a long and storied past at the Route 27 speed plant, which is now under new ownership. Referred to recently as “the tightest, but raciest speedway on the NEMA schedule”, the tradition of excitement will undoubtedly continue under the new management team spearheaded by owner Bobby MacArthur.

“We are very excited to be going to All-Star Speedway,” said car owner for Randy Cabral, Tim Bertrand. “The new management team has brought about some very exciting and much desired facility changes to a speedway that has, perhaps, as much midget racing history as any track in the Country.”
