RIVERHEAD RACEWAY TO THANK L.I. VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS WITH FREE ADMISSION JUNE 28TH
Riverhead, N.Y. May 29th.
By, Bob Finan

As a way of saying thank you to the men and women of Long Island's volunteer fire departments, Riverhead Raceway owners Barbara and Jim Cromarty announced today any volunteer firefighter in full uniform would receive free admission on Saturday night June 28th. Five classes of NASCAR stock car racing will be joined by a Car Rollover Contest and a Full Size School Bus Figure Eight Race on this fun filled evening.

Thousands of men and women on Long Island serve as volunteer firefighters in both Nassau and Suffolk counties, answering alarms 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in all kinds of weather conditions. It is that dedication that Barbara and Jim Cromarty want to say thank you for and also let these local heroes enjoy a night of fun and family entertainment.

Any volunteer firefighter in full uniform arriving at Riverhead Raceway for the 5:30 pm show will be admitted free on June 28th.

The Cromarty's have planned two great family entertainment attractions with the second Full Size School Bus Figure Eight race of '08 on tap. Watching these giant buses try and maneuver around the figure-eight course, while trying to avoid a crash at the intersection is priceless.

The Car Rollover Contest finds competitors intentionally flipping their cars over for points that will determine the event winner and count towards the season long champion. This event leaves fans young and old alike on the edge of their seats, if they can sit at all!

The 600 horsepower NASCAR Modifieds will highlight the stock car portion of the program and be joined by the Late Models, Chargers, Super Pro Trucks and Legend Race Cars.

Spectator gates open at 3:00 pm for those volunteer firefighters who want to arrive early with qualifying races at 4:30 pm and the feature event racing starts at 5:30 pm.
