PRESS
RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Jason
Rochelle Takes First Ever Keystone Legends Tour
Win at Bridgeport
(June 19, 2009 –
Bridgeport, NJ) Jason Rochelle won the
first ever Keystone Legends Tour race at
Bridgeport Speedway on Friday night and used his
victory to claim the point lead in the 2009 Tour
standings. Rochelle started eighth, took the
lead from early pacesetter Paul McCollum, and
held off a late race charge from last week’s
Linda’s Speedway winner, Justin Grim, to post
his second “A” main event win of the season.
Although Rochelle drove a solid race, he also
had a bit of luck on his side when a suspension
failure at the checkers put his Cooper
Motorsports #148 into the frontstretch wall just
after the stripe.
Justin
Grim turned in another strong performance to
finish in the runner-up spot, ahead of Paul
McCollum, Clinton Penkauskas, and John Gray.
Todd McCollum, Howard Hunter, Jim Black, Drew
Weisser, and Ron Poley completed the top ten.
Rochelle
and Tim Henry won heat races for the 18-car
field.
The
Keystone Legends Tour returns to the Linda’s
Speedway dirt on Friday, July 17th.

Racing to Cure Mesothelioma
by Wendi Lewis under News Feb 2009
Yesterday I posted some information about a Mesothelioma awareness and fund raising event coming up in Pennsylvania, in cooperation with the Bridgeport Speedway. The event is the first ever "Meet and Greet" that will allow race fans to meet the drivers and see the cars of Bridgeport Speedway
Today I talked to event organizer Bill Thomas, Sr., of Bill Thomas Racing. He said the event was born of necessity, when he discovered in August that he has Mesothelioma. Already active with his son, Bill Jr., on the racing circuit, an event tied to the sport seemed a natural fit.
"Racing with my son is a big part of my life," he said. "I had to retire as a result of having meso, and I felt like I really needed to do something and give back so I came up with this event."
The Meet & Greet will feature a number of drivers from the Bridgeport Speedway, located in Bridgeport, New Jersey, which bills itself as "The Fastest Dirt Track in the East." Ms. Motorsports 2009 also will attend the event. A silent auction will help raise money for Mesothelioma research, with proceeds going to the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation. www.curemeso.org
The event is set for March 7 and 8 at the Granite Run Mall in Media, Pennsylvania
More information about featured drivers and other events will be available in the next few weeks prior to the event. You can also follow the new Bill Thomas Racing Blog If you are interested in donating items for the silent auction, or volunteering in any other way, please contact Bill Thomas at 610-329-0239 or email him at billthomasracing@comcast.net .
