FIREWORKS TO CELEBRATE AMERICA'S MILITARY SERVICE NIGHT SATURDAY AT RIVERHEAD RACEWAY, 50% OFF GRANDSTAND ADMISSION WITH SERVICE ID
The annual Memorial Day weekend across our great country is a time for us as a nation to pause and give thanks to the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice, Saturday at Riverhead Raceway owners Connie Partridge and Tom Gatz will honor the fallen, as well those who continue to or have served. For the America's Military Service Night program Saturday evening, all active duty or retired service veterans with a valid military ID will receive a 50% discount on an adult general admission ticket. An action-packed night of NASCAR stock car racing thrills will be presented with the Fireworks spectacular that also serves as the makeup for Scout Night.
Just two weeks ago Riverhead Raceway management announced Special FX Wizard Inc., a Long Island firm with over 36-years of industry experience working on many of the world's most notable fireworks performances around the globe will produce and present the show Saturday. Prior to the pyrotechnic portion of America's Military Service Night, a full program of NASCAR Local Racing Series powered by O'Reilly Auto Parts will be contested.
The Eagle Chevrolet Crate Modifieds headline the eight-feature event race presentation as they race their second 25-lap feature of 2026. The Late Models will do likewise with their own 25-lap tilt with the Blunderbusts and Super Pro Trucks each going 20-laps. The future stars of racing will display their talents as three INEX Bandolero main events unfold. The INEX Bandolero Outlaws & Bandits will race 15-laps while the entry level Beginners go 10-circuits. A 40-lap 4/6-Cylinder Gut & Go Enduro will provide wall to wall racing action.
Joining the America's Military Service Night program is the Scout Night makeup from May 9th when rain washed out their original date. All scouts in their uniforms, Boy, Girl, Cub, Brownie, local 4-C groups or Junior ROTC in uniform will enter Riverhead Raceway free of charge at the general admission gates.
