one 2 go - race # 1 - newport chevrolet weekly racing series

4/27/2017

 
Picture

We are about to drop the green flag on our 2017 season and the Newport Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series. The R.E. Hinkley Super Streets kick off the season tomorrow night with their Daytona 500 as they will run 75 laps in the Richardson Memorial Race presented by TrackSide Motorsport and Accessories. Nearly 30 cars are anticipated to qualify for this event. “Superman” Aaron Fellows is seeking to repeat as the division’s champion after winning 4 times last season but will face many familiar names from over the years at the speedway. Grandstands open at 4:30 pm and admission is $ 10 for ages 6 and up. The Casella Modifieds, Pepsi Limited Sportsman, and T-Bird Mini Mart Wildcats round out the card.



RICHARDSON MEMORIAL 75 LAP RACE PRESENTED BY TRACKSIDE MOTORSPORT AND ACCESSORIES
Last Year’s Winner: Ricky Bly
Time: Post time is 7 PM for the night’s racing card
Weather: Partly Cloudy and 69 degrees
Event Hashtag: #Richardson75
Prep: Pit gates open at 3:30 PM with hot laps beginning at 4:30 PM
Pit Admission: $ 35
Grandstand Admission: $ 10 for ages 6 and over
National Anthem Singer: Alexandra Perez, Claremont Middle School Eighth Grader
 
Storylines for the Richardson 75 and R.E. Hinkley Super Streets
 
  • Will Superman Meet His Kryptonite- Aaron Fellows recorded his 11th championship last season by besting Ricky Bly by 48 points. Will Fellows collect number 12 this year? That is yet to be seen but he has looked very strong during both test and tune sessions.
  • The Return of Radical and Hi Ho – Russ Davis returns after taking a season off from racing while Lenny Silver is back after a decade. Silver was able to get one practice run in last week before mechanical issues. Davis was at both practice sessions.
  • May the Downforce Be With You – The Downforce body will make its appearance on at least seven entries this season. They look sharp.
  • Rookie Hazing – The adjustment from 4-cylinders to the 8 is a big step. Ask Hayden Scott. Alex Poisson and Craig Smith make the move from the Wildcats to the Supers and are thrown right into the fire with their first race being 75 laps. Poisson did run a Super race last year however but had nowhere near the car he does now.
 
The next event is the NorthEast Mini Stock tour on May 5. They will be running 50 green flag laps for $ 500 to win. The race at Claremont last year yielded the best car count of the season for the NEMST and some exciting racing. They will be joined by the R.E. Hinkley Supers, Pepsi Limited Sportsman, and T-Bird Mini Mart Wildcats.

SPONSORS ALL ABOARD THIS SHIP

4/11/2017

 
Claremont Speedway is proud to officially announce our four division sponsors for the upcoming 2017 season. Our Super Street division will see the return of a familiar partner while the other three divisions will have new names adorn their windshields this season. 

With 24 cars registered to race before the first practice, R.E. Hinkley is back to sponsor our ever-competitive Super Street division.  A family-operated business with rich ties to the racing community, R.E. Hinkley was originally founded in 1967 moving to its current location on Lane Ridge Road in Claremont in 2005. Specializing in heating oil, kerosene, diesel fuel, propane, and electrical, they serve the greater Connecticut River Valley.

Casella Resource Solutions is the official trash provider for the speedway and has secured the sponsorship of our 10-date tour type modified division. Specializing in recycling, collection, organics, energy, and landfills, Casella provides service to over 175,00 customers in a core group of six states with a wide array of waste and recycling services reaching into forty states.

Pepsi has signed on to be represent some of the up and coming talent in our ranks by sponsoring the Limited Sportsman division. A long time sponsor, Pepsi continues to support the local short track racing venue. Drivers will also enjoy a cold Pepsi product in Victory Lane this season.

T-Bird Mini Marts joins us this season as the Wildcat division sponsor. This sponsorship is based out of the 170 Charlestown Road which provides a pet washing station, the only self-serve car wash in Claremont, beer cave, Bistro at the Bird, propane filling station and other amenities while being open until 10 PM seven days a week.

Our Weekly Series Sponsor will be announced later this week as we head into our car show at The Home Depot.
