Speedbowl Cancels April 23 race program

Adds divisions to April 30 schedule of events

Waterford, CT (April 23, 2011) – For the second consecutive week Waterford Speedbowl has been forced to cancel tonight’s scheduled NASCAR Whelen All-American Series racing program due to weather.

The next scheduled event is Saturday, April 30’s NASCAR Whelen All-American Series racing program. Due to the past two rainouts, the event will have added reasons for race fans and racers to come out to enjoy a night of side-by-side action at the ‘Bowl. Due to popular demand, Speedbowl management has added the Street Stock, Super X-Car, and X-Car divisions to the April 30 event making it a 9-division night of racing for the same price courtesy of track management. The added divisions join the SK Modifieds®, Bob Valenti Auto Mall Late Models, Mini Stocks, Legends Cars and the visiting Allison Legacy North Series and New England Truck Series on the event card.

For Super X-Car and X-Car competitors, April 30 will be the final chance to tune up for their Wild ‘n Wacky Wednesday season slated to begin on Wednesday, May 4. Each division’s race results will count towards their Saturday Showdown Series standings, originally scheduled as part of April 16’s race program. They will each compete in 20-lap feature events.
The Street Stocks have also been added after the weather cancellation of the previous two scheduled events for the division. Due to the request of many division supporters, the event will be a 33-lap race in honor of their fellow competitor Chuck “Uncle Buck” Rogers, who recently passed away. The Mini Stocks will also compete in a 33-lap memorial race on April 30, originally scheduled for April 23.

The Allison Legacy Series will be making its first appearance of the 2011 season, while Corey Coates of Ledyard is looking to repeat his New England Truck Series win on April 2 during the season-opening Budweiser Blastoff weekend.
General admission is set at $15.00 for adults and $5.00 for youth ages 6 through 14. Children under age 6 are free, and the Speedbowl offers acres of free event parking. Opening ceremonies are slated for 7:00pm, followed by feature racing.

9 divisions? Wow that's cool! I guess they had to do something to bring in the people when they go head to head with Stafford opening weekend.

Definitely like the idea of the 33 lap features in street stocks and mini stocks!

ya same here.

33 lap races are cool. 9 divisions is not.

9 divisions for the same price at 6 is great though, at least imo.

33 Laps is definitely cool. First and foremost to honer Uncle Buck, and will give the SS an idea of what to run the week after for the 50 lapper.
For the fan, 9 divisions for the same price is awesome. It is going to be a loooong night tho. I applaud the track and management for giving it a go.
Only one thing would make it better. Run the SS first so I can watch the races from the stands and have a beer or 2, after going thru tech., of course.

tech you say? do I need to revise my picks? Mr Stone said he was going to win this week.

Tech could mean 1-5.

Yeah, agree with Matt here. The car is a top 5 runner, but not a serious contender for the win, yet.
