The rejuvenated Star Speedway will have a display this weekend at the "Racers Expo" in Marlborough, Mass., allowing race teams the opportunity to speak with representatives about the upcoming season. Team registrations for the 2012 season are well ahead of last year's pace, as is the support from businesses looking to be a part of an exciting season that lies ahead at the Epping oval.

"I think that the racers responded last year to Star opening and I'm guessing that the fans will respond this year," stated Ted Broadhurst, owner of EKeys 4 Cars, the title sponsor of the headlining Modified division. "The Modifieds were a solid division last season, but I think it's only going to get better this year. The word has gotten out."

In fact, the EKeys 4 Cars Modifieds already have more than 20 race teams pledging their support to Star Speedway for the 2012 race season, with more expected by opening day in May. Head Tech Inspector Pete Frappier admits that the calls from prospective race teams inquiring about the EKeys Modifieds have been numerous.

Registration forms for all divisions will be available at the Expo, along with membership forms, SBM 125 lap sponsor sheets, and the 2012 season schedule. Star Speedway will also be a part of the "Racin' Preview 2012" in Portland, Maine on February 24-25, with at least five race cars on display there.

Allen's Coffee Brandy has signed on to sponsor what will be called the "Allen's Outlaw Late Models". Woody's Auto Repair, headed by ISMA Supermodified driver Russ Wood has signed on as sponsor of the Strickly Stock class, which will replace the Rookie Stocks at Star in 2012. Both of these classes have had a very encouraging list of early entries. The entry level Roadrunners will be a part of the weekly action as well.

American Racer Tires, SPAFCO Chassis and Sunoco Race Fuels have each added their names to the EKeys Modified sponsor list. American Racer and Sunoco will also contribute point fund money to the other weekly divisions for every tire and gallon of gas sold during the season.

Other signed sponsorships for the 2012 race season include: TJCO, with Hard Charger Awards, Danger Designs with Best Appearing Awards, Kayem Hot Dogs, Coca-Cola and New England Motor Racing Supply.
