Everything’s a Go; Now, it’s time for the
Show at Bridgeport
BRIDGEPORT, NJ (April 7, 2007) – In just a
few hours the first green flag of the 2007 season at the
Bridgeport Speedway is going to drop; kicking off the 35th
year of action on South Jersey 5/8th mile, high-banked
speedplant. And while the temperatures drop to winter-like
conditions, the action on the track is sure enough to heat
everyone up!
“We were forced with the same decision other
race tracks had to make,” track spokesperson, Jay Dugan
said. “But, our fans wanted to race, and our staff wanted
to race, and our drivers wanted to race. So we’ll throw on
an extra layer and have some fun.”
It wasn’t much of a decision in the eyes of
Speedway Promoter, Jay James; who’s ‘never say die’ attitude
transcends ontothe Speedway’s staff.
Jessica James, who works with Dugan on
Speedway Special Events has introduced a new ‘prize’ that
works in with the speedway’s ever so popular give-a-ways.
“We’re going to present our first ever ‘fan
upgrade’,” James explained. “A fan at random is going to be
selected from the grandstands and he or she, and their
guests, are going to be relocated from our general admission
seating section to one of our Luxury Suites.”
Pit Licenses from other
speedways/organizations will be accepted at the Pit Window.
The action kicks off today, April 7 with the
1st Annual Easter Eggs-treme 30, featuring 30 laps of
door-to-door Big Block Modified action in an unprecedented
$3500-to-win event. Bridgeport Speedway competitors of old:
Billy Pauch and Doug Hoffman get back in the groove of
regular competition at the Fastest Dirt Track in the East
aiming to take on the long list of hard-charging Bridgeport
favorites. Also in action: 358 Small Block Modifieds,
Sunoco Sportsman, Outlaw Stocks and the Bartleson
Masonry/Post Plumbing Rookie Sportsman competitors.
A new array of games, prizes, trivia and
give-a-ways accompany our 1st Annual Easter Egg Hunt for the
kids, along with a special Best Bunny Costume Contest.
General Admission Pricing is set for $15 with
Kids 12 & Under receiving Free Admission. Family Packs are
available for our ‘Big Kids’ for $55 and include 2 Adult and
2 Student (with ID) Admission tickets, as well as, 4 hotdogs
