SPENCER ISSUES TENTATIVE 2010 SCHEDULE, BARRON ADDED TO TECH TEAM

WILLIAMSON, NY….News continues to come from the Spencer Speedway management team, as a tentative schedule for the 2010 NASCAR season has been posted on the speedway website, www.spencerspeedway.org . 
The first of two practice sessions on the new asphalt surface is scheduled for 5:30 p.m., on Friday, May 7th. “It will be important for the teams to come out and run on the new surface before the season racing starts,” stated promoter John White. “They need to see the changes and the track needs a coat of rubber put down.”
A second “test and tune” session is planned for the following Friday, May 14th.

The season is scheduled to kick off on Friday, May 21, with a 100-lap SST Modified main event. Most weeks the NASCAR Sunoco Race Fuels Modifieds will be joined by the Street Stocks, Super Sixes and the Auto Value Four-Cylinder Scorpion divisions. A quick scan of the schedule also reveals three Legend Car races; June 11th
, July 23th and August 13th. Also there will again be two stops for the Sunoco Race of Champions Modified Tour cars; June 18th and September 3rd. New rules for each of the main regular divisions at the speedway can also be found on the Spencer Speedway website.

“We have been working hard to help improve the car counts in the Street Stock division,” added White. “Our goal is to at least double last year’s field by mid-season.” The new Auto Value Scorpion class got off to a big start in 2009. By mid-season a break down between “beginners” and “professionals” was created. The expectation is an increase in the field again this year.

A familiar name joins the Spencer Speedway Tech team in 2010. Former track champion, Sonny Barron, will add his expertise to the team. “We are please to have Sonny onboard. Sonny has a long history in racing,” commented White. “He has raced in the Street Stocks, Sunoco Race Fuels Modifieds and Whelen Tour Type Modifieds. He is well renowned as an engine builder in the area. His presence can only help us in the “Tech Barn” on a weekly basis.” Questions concerning the new rules can be sent to John White  .....

WILLIAMSON, NY…The major repaving project at Spencer Speedway and Dragstrip are now completed. 
“We were able to put an inch and a half of treated asphalt all the way around the oval track and down the sections of the front stretch drag strip”, stated promoter John White. 

The photo team of Rigby and Starsmore were able to put together a complete “photo essay” of the process used. These pictures can be found at www.spencerspeedway.org, and then select the photo section. On the second page of the Rigby/Starsmore oval page an entry for 10-21-09 can be found. Nearly 100 pictures of the repaving can be found there, including the milling process that took place about a month ago.

This is the first new surface the track has seen since 1964. That work was done throughout the summer months and only three specials were run that year in August. Two were won by Chuck Boos and one by Roger Boas. This year also marked the first appearance of modified cars at Spencer Speedway, replacing the reliable sportsman cars. 
The track remains in the same configuration it has for many years, a flat half mile oval.

“We still have a few more minor changes to make,” added White. “We should have the pit out access road, in the second turn, repaved in the near future. We will also be paving sections of the pit area.” All County Construction provided the workforce and know-how to complete this project. Over the years All County Construction has been a staunch supporter of auto racing, including supporting .
