Another full night of racing is headed your way at the Bridgeport Speedway on Saturday, August 19th.

All County Garage Door LLC of Carney’s Point, NJ will sponsor this year’s Quarter Midget Night at the Bridgeport Speedway. Quarter Midget Night has become a very popular event at the track in recent seasons. Children – both boys and girls – can start to race quarter midgets at the age of five. Quarter midget organizations exist throughout the country. Several of these organizations will be represented during Bridgeport’s event including Montgomery County, ATCO and Blackbird. These young race car drivers will proudly display their cars behind the main grandstand before the night of racing gets underway. Later in the evening, they will have the chance to take a few laps around the quarter mile track to showcase their abilities. This is a big night for the quarter midget competitors who have the opportunity to come to a big race track and watch some of their favorite drivers in action.

The families of Big Block Modified drivers, Ryan Watt and Sam Martz, as well as Crate/Sportsman driver, Eric Kormann, have all been involved in area quarter midget racing with their families. Logan Watt competes weekly at Montgomery County Quarter Midget Racing Club while Angelica and Sammy Martz, Jr. are past competitors at ATCO. Hannah Kormann just started racing at Wall this season.

All County Garage Door LLC is a newly formed garage door company, offering both residential and commercial door services. Focusing on high quality installations, expert repairs and general maintenance programs, All County Garage Door offers you the tools you need to complete your project from start to finish and keep your system operational year after year. The co-owners – father and son, Tom and Brett Ballard – are no strangers to the Bridgeport Speedway having been involved in Modified and Crate/Sportsman competition on the 5/8th mile speedway. This father and son team combine for more than thirty-seven years of experience in garage door installation and repair experience.

The Spirit Auto Center Big Block Modifieds, Stewart Stainless Crate/Sportsman and PennCo Tech Outlaw Stocks will be in competition on Saturday night. As the summer nights wind down, our championship battles are heating up with just a few points separating the top positions in all three divisions. It’s going to be an exciting run to the 2017 Bridgeport Championships! The guys behind the scenes will also have a chance to compete on this night as the Mechanics Races will take place on the quarter mile track following the last checkered flag on the 5/8th mile track.

Racing gets underway at 7pm but come out early and spend some time with the quarter midget drivers, enjoy the musical entertainment and some of the tasty offerings from the Bridgeport Speedway concessions. Take a ride on the Bandit Bus to get a look at the action behind the scenes in the pit area. Pick up a copy of the Bridgeport Bullet – the official program of the Bridgeport Speedway – and catch up with all of the track’s recent action as well as point standings and driver rosters. The program is a great place to collect those autographs that you gather throughout the night.
