Pro Stocks Join Independence Holiday Show At Rolling Wheels Raceway

Elbridge, NY – June 22, 2006 – By Tom Skibinski, DIRT NorthEast PR Director

DIRT track action returns to Rolling Wheels Raceway during the extended Independence holiday weekend keeping in line with the unique specials-only format that the ‘Fast track’ has enjoyed for nearly a quarter-century.

Headlining the upcoming show presented by Ferris Industries, Town Mechancal, Dig Safely New York and the Stafford Auto Group on July 3 will be the 35th Annual Firecracker Championship, standing as round number nine in the 2006 Advance Auto Parts Super DIRT Series for the mighty Modifieds. Big-block teams will be in search of the $6,000 first-place prize in the 100-lap feature finale while the top area DIRT Sportsman and DIRT Pro Stock entries will be contending in their own $600-to-win main events with a huge fireworks display closing out the Monday night festivities. *Mod Lites will NOT be in competition as listed on the original 2006 RWR schedule.

Only three more weekends remain during Rolling Wheels’ 38th consecutive season of operation. The traditional Robert N. Petrocci Memorial/Advance Auto Parts SDS race highlights the Labor Day Weekend with a Mr. DIRT Sportsman Series event and a complete program of Street Stock races filling the traditional Monday evening program.

This year set to run on Friday and Saturday, the all-star World Series of DIRT Track Racing weekend, Sept. 22-23, will once more attract the finest Modified, 358-Modified, Sportsman and Pro Stock entries in Super DIRT Series competition. Another appearance by Street Stock teams on day one completes the two-day autumn classic with the Advance Auto Parts Modifieds expected to take the green flag and begin the double-century grind near sunset on Saturday.

The Super DIRT Week Shootout in October at Rolling Wheels will once again lure big fields and attract standing-room-only crowds. The 100-lap Mr. DIRT 358-Modified Series special and a Mr. DIRT Sportsman Series event top the Oct. 6 card while the 25-lap ESS/URC/Patriot Challenge for winged sprinters completes the Oct. 7 program.
