2008 Season to kick off this weekend at Genesee Speedway
BATAVIA,NY - Mother Nature has been quite the prankster the last few weeks, but Genesee
Speedway Promoter Mike Lauterborn looks to show her who's boss this weekend. Two
weekends of rain have pushed back their opening day to Saturday May 10th, The date slated for
the first ever "All Pro" challenge.
Regional Pro Truck Teams will be competing against their lower slung Pro Stock cousins for what
will be a great race, 25 plus teams are expected to enter the event, and everyone is anxious to get
behind the wheel again after a long winter recess.
Last years top honors were taken by 2007 Champion Terry Povoski, who held off a hard
charging Mike Warren. This will also be the first race where trucks are eligible for the Precision
Move of the race award Sponsored by Precision Automotive.
Rookie contenders Jamie Freeman (8) , Mark Guinup (52) and Christian Thompson (3) will
also start their race for Rookie of the Year honors which will be sponsored by Burgess Family
Racing at the 2008 Awards Banquet.
Teams should try to arrive as early as possible to make time for a mandatory safety
inspection, Starting positions will be drawn at the pit shack from 4:30 to 5:30 pm, followed by a
drivers meeting, racing to commence at 6 PM SHARP.
Looking forward to seeing everyone again, so put away the umbrellas and the winter clothes,
and come on out to Genesee Speedway for some great racing action! The Speedway website
has links to directions and motel information if needed.
