The month of March has finally begun, and for the Star Speedway it means that the start of the 2012 race season at the popular quarter-mile oval is only ten weeks away, with the first practice session taking the green in eight weeks. The highest number of sponsors and race teams in years have already completed their paperwork to be a part of this exciting season to come.
Just this week, Allen's Coffee Brandy of Maine officially pledged their support, adding even more sponsorship dollars than expected. They are the headline sponsor of the "Outlaw" Late Models, a division that brought the highest car counts to Star last season. As part of their sponsorship, the Outlaw teams will benefit with hundreds of dollars being paid out in point fund money.
Additionally, they have added point fund money for the EKeys 4 Cars Modifieds. The halfway bonus for the June 16 SBM 125 Modified Open just doubled, as Allen's joins EKeys to put the halfway payoff at $275. The ISMA Supermodified Classic on September 8 will also get an additional $125 in halfway bonus money from Allen's. The 2011 Star Classic was the highest paying ISMA event of the season, thanks to the more than $10,000 in total lap money being added to the purse.
The recent momentum of Star Speedway continues to bring back past champions. Rob Wilcox, Joe Squeglia Jr., Bobby Cabral and Mark Hebbelinck will join the weekly wars this season at the track "Where Champions are Made."
"The response from drivers who stopped racing and are now returning to Star is flattering and very exciting for me and my entire family," stated track promoter Bob Webber Jr. "I can't wait for this season to begin. This winter has exceeded all of our expectations. Star Speedway is back!"
A big reason for the noticeable increase in car counts that fans will see when the EKeys 4 Cars Modifieds take to the track is well respected head tech inspector Pete Frappier, who will return to Star for a full season, leading the headline division to weekly fields that could exceed 20 cars.
Allen's is not the only sponsor signing on to support the competitors of Star Speedway. Unlike most sports facilities, sponsorship money and contingencies at Star go directly to the race teams, rather than to pay expenses. Former Star regular Russ Wood from Woody's Auto Repair is helping out by adding dollars to the Strickly Stock class point fund, a weekly random bonus, and also by sponsoring the July 28 "Woody's Furious 40" race for the Strickly's.
American Racer Tires, Sunoco Race Fuels, New England Motor Racing Supply, The Race Depot, Dur-A-Flex, JRA Powder Coating, SPAFCO Chassis, Valecita, Danger Designs, Kayem Hot Dogs, Coca-Cola and TJCO have all added bonuses to the heart of Star Speedway, the weekly competitors.
There is still time to add your business to the growing list of Star Speedway supporters of the weekly division racing, or to sponsor a lap in the SBM 125 Modified Open, which has drawn interest from race teams planning to travel from at least ten different states for this big event. More information will be available, and updated frequently on our new official Star Speedway Facebook page, on the SBM 125 Official fan Facebook page, and at: www.star-speedway.com.
