STAR SPEEDWAY RELEASES 2011 SCHEDULE
EPPING, NH- The 2011 Star Speedway Schedule has now been released, and with it comes word that a title sponsor has been signed for the headlining Tour-Type Modified division at the quarter-mile oval.
EKeys 4 Cars will be the season-long sponsor of the Modified division, and they have also have added their name to the big June 4 Open Modified event by sponsoring a $250 EKeys 4 Cars Halfway Bonus on lap 63 of the 125-lap event.
EKeys 4 Cars is a company that was established to provide the car owner with an alternative source for transponder keys. Their dedicated staff of Professional Automotive Lock Specialists can service any of your car key needs from their Windham, N.H. location.
The season will begin on May 7, following a practice day for all divisions on April 30. The first of four premiere events in 2011 comes on May 14, as the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) returns on May 14 for what promises to be an exciting 150-lap event. Along with PASS on that night will be the first event of the season for the Modifieds.
Interest in the return of the Modifieds to Star is at an all-time high, with American Racer Tire Company, Sunoco Race Fuels and now Ekeys4cars adding money to the season point fund.
Pete Frappier was hired this past week to ensure an equal playing field for those seeking the Star Speedway Modified Championship. He joins Star Speedway Tech Specialist Russ Nutting to form one of the best Tech Inspection teams in the country. More than 20 Modified teams have already requested registration information.
Following PASS, the next big event on the season schedule will be the June 4 Tour-Type Modified 125, bringing with it a base purse of $25,000, but added bonus money will likely swell the purse payout to more than $30,000. Associate sponsorship for this event is being provided by Hoosier Tire East and race fan, "Long Island Mod Maniac", with a headline sponsor to be named as the event draws near.
A lap sponsor program for this June 4 race was recently introduced, with a number of laps, and additional bonus awards already secured for the event. Laps are being sold at a minimum of $50, with $25 going to the race leader, and the other $25 being distributed each lap by a draw of the drivers running in the top ten on each lap.
Among the early entries are popular champion Modified drivers Mike Stefanik, Ted Christopher, Dwight Jarvis, Jon McKennedy, and 2008 Star Speedway and NASCAR State Champion Louie Mechalides. With both New England Modified tours having the week off, a large field of entrants is more than likely.
In addition to the large payout will be a second payoff to the teams who raced at the track under the previous ownership in the form of a point fund reward. The 2008 four race All-Star Series was won by Matt Hirschman. The amount of this payoff will be directly determined by the financial success of this event, making this a Modified race like no other, where race fans can help the race teams by supporting this event.
The Star Speedway, which will be back under the leadership of the Webber family for the first time since 2006, has also scheduled a return of "The Classic". It's an ISMA Super Modified event like no other that will take place on Saturday, September 10, returning to a 150-lap distance that is sure to please what is always a near capacity crowd of race fans.
Enduro enthusiasts will find a full slate of events scheduled for 2011 as well, highlighted by the 26th annual Halloween Howler on October 29. Star Speedway is not only a perfect place to see side-by-side racing action on a weekly basis, but it remains one of the best venues in the country to see Enduro racing at its finest.
For more information on these and other events, check out our new website at: www.star-speedway.com. The newly released, full 2011 Star Speedway Schedule will be posted there very soon. You can also find information on Facebook at: Star Speedway. The new track hotline goes live this month as well at: (603) 679-5306.
Star Speedway is Back! Come and share in the excitement in 2011. The track is located on Route 27 in Epping, New Hampshire.
