TRI-TRACK
OPEN MODIFIED SERIES
RELEASES 2017 SCHEDULE |
The
Northeast Race Cars Tri-Track Open Modified Series (TTOMS)
announced today the 2017 schedule of events. The now
traditional four-race schedule is a combination of
mid-week and weekend shows that kicks-off at Seekonk
Speedway in Seekonk, Ma. followed by a stop at Star
Speedway in Epping, N.H. and culminates with a pair
of races at the New London Waterford Speedbowl in
Connecticut.
“The schedule was a strong one to begin with,” said
Wayne Darling, managing partner. “The goal simply
was to continue doing what works. The partnerships
that we enjoy with these three race track is, in
large part, why this format has been successful in
the past.”
The TTOMS season will commence on June 28 at Seekonk
Speedway with the running of Open Wheel Wednesday.
This popular event has attracted the biggest names
in racing including the newly crowned NASCAR Whelen
Modified Tour champion Doug Coby, who was last
year’s winner of the event. It was his third Open
Wheel Wednesday victory.
“Seekonk Speedway is excited to have the Tri-Track
series back again for the 14th annual Open Wheel
Wednesday featuring the $10,000 to win main modified
event,” said Ed St. Germain, director of business
development for Seekonk Speedway. “We look forward
to working with the organizers and helping the
series grow in years to come.”
The second race on the schedule is the SBM VI at
Star Speedway on Saturday, July 29. This two-groove
bullring has been the site of many great Modified
battles. With championship drivers like Jon
McKennedy calling Star Speedway home, the
competition is always fierce.
“Since its inception the SBM event has been an
important race to us here at Star Speedway,” said
owner and promoter Bobby Webber, Jr. “We are happy
that we were able to keep it going strong through
the affiliation with the Tri-Track Open Modified
Series over the last few years. My family and I are
proud to work with a group that, like us, believes
in the grassroots of racing.”
The series finishes up with two events at the New
London Waterford Speedbowl including Wednesday
August 23 and Sunday, October 22, 2017 as part of
the Bemer's Big Show. Another ultra-competitive
quarter-mile speedway, the events at the New London
Waterford Speedbowl draw the best-of-the best in
Modified competition. Championship drivers dot the
entry lists for the TTOMS events at the Speedbowl
last season including the likes of hometown favorite
Chris Pasteryak, Ryan Preece, Ronnie Silk, perennial
Waterford and SK Modified Champion Keith Rocco,
Woody Pitkat, and Rowan Pennink. “Big Money” Matt
Hirschman and Steve Masse split wins at the
Speedbowl in 2016.
“Car counts were strong at each of the events held
in 2016,” added Darling. “With basically the same
schedule and a focus on improving the program
operationally, we firmly anticipate that it will be
equally, if not stronger, in 2017.”
