FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FRANKLIN, PA .. With sunshine in the forecast, track officials, race
teams, drivers and fans are ready to start another season of racing
action at Tri-City Speedway on Sunday April 27th.
The Venango County half-mile oval located near Dempseytown will roar
to life for its 13th season of competition in the modern era featuring
five divisions that include the Engles Trucking DIRTcar Big Block
Modifieds, 4 Your Car Connection FASTRAK Late Models, RPM Auto Sales/Sherry
Shawgo Real Estate E Mods, E.F. Rogers Plumbing & Heating Pro Stocks,
and Klapec Auto Body Thundercars. This will be the first season ever
for the FASTRAK Late Models at the Route 417 track.
"We're ready to go racing," said Tri-City Co-Promoter Mike Graham.
"We've received a lot of attention this offseason with the FASTRAK Late
Models joining our weekly program. The most important thing we want to
tell our casual and weekly fans is to come out and enjoy the races. We
offer family entertainment and good value for your dollar."
Traditionally, Graham and fellow Co-Promoter Roger Crick have run a
tight ship at Tri-City. The racing program starts on time, and ends
around 10 p.m.
"As a Sunday night venue, it's very important that we provide
quality entertainment and get the fans home at a decent time," noted Graham.
"We take pride in that effort, and so do all of our track officials and
employees."
Gates open weekly at Tri-City at 4 p.m. and racing starts at 6 p.m.
Adult grandstand admission is $11.
