VERNON, NY- This Thursday March 26, an Open House will be held at the Utica-Rome Speedway that will allow competitors and crew members to purchase their NASCAR license for the upcoming season with Hoosier tires also available for purchase.  The event will start at 6 p.m. and go on until 9 p.m.

 

With the influx of new drivers competing at the speedway this season, the open house will allow anyone to avoid lines on opening day to purchase their NASCAR license beforehand.  A NASCAR license is required for all competitors in any of the weekly events.  Track officials will also be on hand to answer any questions as well as a representative from NASCAR. New track owners Bill and Kim Shea will also be in attendance to meet everyone who attends.

 

Ned Kinney, the Hoosier Tire distributor for the speedway, will also be on hand with tires for anyone wanting to purchase tires before the season starts.

 

Like last year, the open house will be held at the speedway office located off Wood Road, just off the backstretch of the speedway.  Anyone who plans on attending the preseason event, please RSVP with Kim Shea at (315)794-7805 so we can plan accordingly with refreshments.

 

Last season, over $100,000 in track and NASCAR point money was earned by the competitors at the Utica-Rome Speedway.  Stewart Friesen took home over $27,000 himself after grabbing the track title and the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series New York State title.  The season is set to begin on April 19 with Twin 20’s for the Stampede Steakhouse Modifieds, 602 Sportsman, Open Sportsman, and Pro Street Stocks.
