THOMPSON
SPEEDWAY RELEASES
2010 RACE SCHEDULE |
The Thompson International Speedway has released its 2010 race schedule.
Four new and exciting events have been added to traditional fan favorites
thus creating one of the most talked about racing schedules in all of New
England.
The four new additions to the Thompson schedule will feature
Tour-Type Modified race cars competing in sprint-style, 35-lap feature
events on June 3rd, July 1st, August 5th and September 2nd.
The 2010 racing schedule opens the New England racing season with
the traditional Icebreaker on the weekend of April 10th and 11th. The season
will close with the traditional World Series of Speedway Racing slated for
the 15th through the 17th of October. The popular Thursday Night Thompson
Thunder series will get underway on May 20th and will run through September
16th.
The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour will once again visit Thompson three
times and four brand new Tour-Type Modified, 35-lap shoots outs along with
two stops for the Modified Racing Series (formerly the True Value Series)
will make for some exciting changes from previous years. The PASS Super Late
Models will make a return appearance as well. Also included are the
traditional Eve of Destruction Family Fun Night on Memorial Day weekend, the
popular Vintage Antique Car Extravaganza and four open practice sessions for
competitors.
Copies of the 2010 schedule are available on the
track’s web page.
“We feel that this could be one of the most exciting years of
racing in our history,” said track owner, Don Hoenig. “We think we have an
exciting mixture of brand new race programs along with events that have been
popular with fans for many years. Putting all of this together in one
season’s race schedule should make for a great line up for competitors and
fans alike,” he concluded.
Competitors are reminded that it’s time to renew their car numbers
for next year. As in previous years, any racer who secured track points with
a registered car number in 2009 has until January 15, 2010 to renew that
number. If the car number is not renewed by the deadline, it will then be
assigned to the first person requesting that number. Thompson Speedway does
not charge competitors to register a race car. However, if a car number is
assigned but not used by the end of June 2010, that number will then become
available to another competitor. Race teams are reminded that Thompson will
accept requests for one and two digit numbers only. Letters or symbols of
any kind will not be accepted as part of the car’s official number.
