Saturday night June 7th has been designated as Craftsman Tools night at Barbara and Jim Cromarty's Riverhead Raceway saluting the marketing partner of the NASCAR Whelen All American Series. Six divisions of racing will compete on the race card with each feature event winner taking home a handsome Craftsman Tools trophy.

In addition to their involvement with the nationwide NASCAR Whelen All-American Series, Craftsman Tools is also the title sponsor of the Craftsman Truck Series where recently Long Island native Donny Lia of Jericho recorded his first career win. Lia is a former Riverhead Raceway NASCAR Modified Rookie of the Year.

The program will feature a 50-lap Late Model main event with double points on the line. Time trials will determine the starting line-up for the race. Kevin Metzger of Massapequa took the honors in the first 50-lap Late Model event on May 17th.

The Figure Eight drivers will see action in their second 25-lap, double point race of the season with Roger Maynor of Bay Shore topping the Cromarty Cup 25 back on May 10th. Rounding out the Craftsman Tools night of racing are the NASCAR Modifieds, Chargers, Blunderbusts and Super Pro Trucks.
