AMBER FORTIN
TO REALIZE TURKEY DERBY DREAM
WITH DUNLEAVY'S TRUCK & TRAILER SPONSORSHIP |
 When
the 43rd annual Turkey Derby classic takes the green
flag Saturday November 26th at Wall Stadium Amber
Fortin of Holtsville will realize a lifelong dream
of competing in the 150 lap Tour Type Modified
classic thanks to sponsorship from Dunleavy's Truck
& Trailer. Amber and Doug Dunleavy made the joint
announcement on Thursday via social media.
"I can't thank Doug Dunleavy enough for making my
dream of racing the Turkey Derby come true this
year" Amber noted Friday morning just hours after
the exciting announcement. "For one of the
preeminent sponsors in Modified racing back me for
one of the most prestigious Modified races of the
year is truly an honor" the 24-year old driving
talent added.
The 2016 season found Fortin competing in a 6 race
Modified series at the Evergreen Raceway Park where
she placed 4th in the final point standings never
placing outside of the top ten. "As excited as I am
about the Turkey Derby and Doug Dunleavy's support I
can't thank my team headed up by my father John Sr.
and brother John Jr. The blood, sweat and effort my
team puts into my racing is second to none" the 2013
Mountain Speedway Rookie of the Year concluded.
Doug Dunleavy through his Brookfield, Connecticut
based Dunleavy Truck & Trailer Repair is not only
one of the most generous and visible sponsors in
Modified racing but also one of the most successful.
Doug Coby of Milford, Ct. just sewed up his third
consecutive NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour title under
the Dunleavy's Truck & Trailer banner who also backs
former NASCAR Southern Modified Tour champion George
Brunnhoelzl Jr. of Mooresville, NC. Popular Garden
State racer Jamie "The Jet" Tomaino of Howell, NJ is
also backed by Dunleavy and the tested tough veteran
will also compete in the Turkey Derby event.
The 43rd annual Turkey Derby is a three day event at
Wall Stadium starting Friday November 25th at the
demanding 1/3 of a mile high banked oval. Details on
the three days of racing can be found at
