THOMPSON ADDS MAJOR EVENT
TO THIS YEAR’S WORLD SERIES |
The
Thompson International Speedway today announced that the Valenti Modified
Racing Series will be added to this year’s World Series of Speedway Racing
in October. The VMRS will be the featured event on Saturday night, October
13th.
“We are very pleased to be able to add the VRMS to our biggest event of the
year,” said track owner Don Hoenig. We have always taken pride in presenting
the very best and most popular racing divisions in the northeast every year
at our World Series and the addition of the Valenti Modifieds continues that
tradition,” he concluded. This will mark the first time that this very
popular northeast Modified touring series will be part of the World Series.
The World Series of Speedway Racing is a spectacular event and the Valenti
Modified Racing Series will take center stage in the Saturday portion of the
weekend. They will practice, qualify and compete in a 75-lap feature event
that will be a huge addition to the incredible lineup of race cars and stars
that make the World Series so special.
Many drivers will be looking forward to this addition to the World Series
since they compete in both the NWMT and the VRMS. Some of the drivers that
have raced in both series this year include Rowan Pennink, Doug Coby, Ted
Christopher, Todd Szegedy and more. The NWMT drivers that compete in the
75-lap Saturday night race will face VMRS regulars like Jon McKennedy,
Norman Wrenn, Chris Pasteryak and a host of other top VMRS regulars.
Already a long-standing part of the World Series tradition, in addition to
the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour, are the ISMA Super Modifieds, NEMA Midgets,
Thompson’s NASCAR Whelen All-American Series divisions, the New England Race
Trucks, Pro Four Modifieds and a host of “outlaw” divisions.
Thompson management is still working on the details of the schedule for the
World Series weekend so that everything will fit smoothly into this
incredible lineup of race cars and race trucks. This schedule is expected to
be released soon and will be posted on the Thompson web page
