410 SPRINT CARS COMING TO BRIDGEPORT SPEEDWAY!
Heffner Racing Co-Promotes Night of Wings Show June 19
Swedesboro, NJ (April 27, 2012) – Bridgeport Speedway is thrilled to announce that 410 sprint cars will return to the raceway on Tuesday, June 19, for the Night of Wings show featuring a 25 lap race worth $7,000 to the winner (after posting a $100 gambler fee or $5,000 if the winning driver chooses not to participate in the gambler fee.) “Take the Green” money for this very special race will be a cool $500.
New track promoters Doug and Gena Hoffman are pleased to welcome Mike Heffner, owner of the Lelands.com-sponsored Heffner Racing Enterprises team, (piloted by 410 sprint car driver Daryn Pittman) as co-promoter of the race.
“We have heard many positive reviews of Bridgeport Speedway under the Hoffman promotional team and I am excited to be a part of the return of 410 Sprint Cars to Southern New Jersey,” commented Heffner.
A unique format is being planned for this event. Upon entry to the grounds, drivers will draw a pill to determine their heat race groups. Each grouping will go out for time trials and an inversion of the top four (4) will set the starting lineup of each respective heat race. Drivers not in the top four (4) of their groups will be lined up in the qualifying events by time. The first two (2) finishers in each heat race are eligible for the feature redraw and the fastest qualifier in each grouping will be added as well providing the driver finishes the heat race in a qualifying position. All other heat race qualifiers will be assigned a starting position in the main event by time.
The top two finishers from each heat race will receive entry into the Foot Dash for Cash, with the victor of this running race getting more than $1,000 in cash and contingency prizes. A multitude of contingency awards is also planned, including a fast time award of at least $200 from Jakes Carts. To complete the show, the TSRS Sprint Cars will be on the card with Sprint Cars from PASS and CRSA invited as well. Plus, $.50 Chicken Wings will be served from the concession area on this special night.
Pit gates open at 4:00 p.m. the day of the race, with grandstand turnstiles unlocking at 5:00 p.m. A pre-race fan fest is scheduled to start at 5:30 p.m. Hot laps get underway at 7:00 p.m. with racing scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. An entry fee of $100 per car will include three pit passes for this event. Additional pit admissions are set at $35 per person. Adult grandstand admission is $25 for advanced purchase and $30 on the day of the show. Further information on advanced ticket sales is forthcoming. A rain date of Wednesday, June 20 has been established for this event.
