BRONSON
SPEEDWAY ANNOUNCES ADDITIONAL $1,000 BONUS MONEY
FOR KICKOFF TO SPEEDWEEKS EVENT SATURDAY |
 With
the Kickoff To Speedweeks 50 Powered By Sunoco Race
Fuels just days away at Bronson Speedway promoter
Ann Young announced two additional special award
sponsors have stepped forward for the Tour Type
Modified race bringing the bonus program total to
$2,140. Aside from the Tour Type Modifieds a full
compliment of Bronson Speedway divisions will
entertain race fans this Saturday evening February
18th on the high banks.
Recently Young turned some racing heads when she
disclosed that both Hoosier Racing Tires as well as
the Bronson Speedway mandated American Racer Tires
would be allowed in the Tour Type Modified portion
of the weekend. To that end Bronson Speedway in
conjunction with American Racer Tire have announced
a $500 bonus for the first car across the line in
the 50-lapper on American Racer Tires. Teams that
are going to run the American Racer Tire brand will
be able to purchase their tires at Bronson Speedway
@ $150 per tire.
Hoosier Racing Tires will again award the Kickoff To
Speedweeks 50 Powered By Sunoco Race Fuels winner a
set of Hoosier Tires. Teams that choose to race on
the Hoosier brand can purchase their tires at New
Smyrna Speedway and either transport them to Bronson
themselves or contact Ann Young who will arrange for
a truck to transport the tires for race teams.
The second special award announced Saturday comes
from Russell Goodale who along with Young announced
the establishing of the Cathy & Keith Goodale "Going
The Distance Award". This unique and heartfelt bonus
will award $500 to the highest finishing driver in
the February 24th Richie Evans Memorial 100 at New
Smyrna Speedway who also competed in the Bronson
Speedway race. The award is a touching tribute from
the Goodale family and the sport they love so dearly
and to those who compete in Modified racing.
These two awards join an extensive list of bonus
money sponsors previously announced for the Tour
Type Modifieds. The leader of lap 49 will earn a
$490 bonus from Bill Mitchell while the winning crew
chief of the race will take home $150 from Lou &
Tracy Maestri in memory of Joe DiGangi. Bronson Lube
has posted a $100 fast time award for the driver
quickest in qualifying while Myracenews.com awards
$100 to the crew chief of the quickest car in
qualifying. Ace's Landscaping has posted $100 for
the Hard Charger of the race this after Bobby Mason
of Ace's already sponsored purse money for the race
as he did in 2016. Joe Larsen's 5 Off 5 On show at
Inravio.com will award $100 to the Rookie of the
Race. Long Island based Sunoco Race Fuels
distributor Long Island Performance has added $100
for the Hard Luck driver of the 50-lapper.
Brad LaFontaine of Northeast Race Cars & Parts will
present a $200 Gift Certificate to all who start the
Kickoff To Speedweeks 50 Powered By Sunoco Race
Fuels.
Young announced Saturday that the race winner will
pocket $2,400 including the Northeast Race Cars &
Parts gift certificate. It is conceivable that if
the leader of lap 49 who earns the $490 Bill
Mitchell bonus leads that entire final lap to the
checker the winning team will earn as much as $2,890
plus a set of Hoosier Tires, 10 gallons of Sunoco
Race Fuel and the 5th starting berth in the Richie
Evans Memorial 100 at New Smyrna Speedway.
Joining the Tour Type Modifieds Saturday will be the
Southern Pro Am Truck Series (SPATS), Daytona
Antique Auto Racing Association, Pure Stocks,
Strictly Stocks and Pro Challenge classes of Bronson
Speedway.
A Friday February 17th Test & Tune session for all
divisions will take place with pit gates swinging
open at 12 noon and practice going green at 2:00 pm.
A $10 pit pass fee will be charged for Friday.
