CANAAN FAIR SPEEDWAY,
RICKY'S RACE NEXT FOR VMRS

Defending race winner Louie Mechalides, of Tyngsboro, MA., leads the list of entries for Saturday’s “Ricky’s Race for Kids, 112-lap race for modified race cars, at Canaan, Fair Speedway, Canaan, NH.

The race, sanctioned by the Valenti Modified Racing Series, is the 5th annual honoring the memory of the late Ricky Miller, and benefiting David’s House, of Lebanon, NH.

Miller, a popular modified racer and champion died in 2004 from injuries suffered in a racing accident.

David’s House is a home away from home for families with ill or injured children receiving treatment through Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH.

Mechalides, currently fifth in the series point standings, has visited victory lane this season at Seekonk, (MA)., Speedway. He’ll be joined by top point men, Rowan Pennink, of Huntingdon Valley, PA., and Jon McKennedy, of E. Chelmsford, MA., as only two points separate the two entering the special event.
