Sometimes the best laid plans get washed away and that is what happened Saturday at Riverhead Raceway when heavy thundershowers in the afternoon with a forecast for more through midnight forced postponement of the Baldwin, Evans & Jarzombek 77 by Northeastern Office Equipment. The race, which earlier in the year was moved up one week to avoid conflict with the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour will now actually run on its original date, this Saturday July 17th.

In fact the July 10th program with two exceptions will shift to this Saturday July 17th, including the 20-lap Figure Eight race, a double point affair with the Blunderbusts and Super Pro Trucks now running this week as well. One exception will be the Legends who, at the request of INEX, will be cancelled because of a conflict in the National Legend schedule. The Chargers will now be added but the Late Models, originally slated to race July 17th, will get an unwanted extra week off. However, the Late Models will be added for July 24th. The Skid Plate Race and Grand Enduros are also having their July 10th race moved to this week, with the 8-Cylinder Enduro set for July 17th shifting to the 24th.

The washout this past week was a bitter disappointment to many as some very special plans were put into place with no less than four of Charlie Jarzombek's Modifieds planning to be on hand with some very special guest pace lap drivers. Hopefully they can be part of this very special race coming up this week on NASCAR Foundation Night.

Time trials for the NASCAR Modifieds will be at 5:15 pm while feature racing starts at 6:00 pm this Saturday at Riverhead Raceway. For further information please call 631-842-RACE or visit www.riverheadraceway.com (http://www.riverheadraceway.com).
