New Egypt, NJ – Memorial Day weekend is upon us at New Egypt Speedway and we are back in action this coming Saturday night May 27th featuring the Remember Our Veterans 40 for the 358 Modifieds that will pay $2,750 to the winner and also serve as “The Dirty Dozen” Round of 12 for May Modified Madness. This race was originally scheduled to be double points as well as the finale for the May Madness Modified Series but Mother Nature had other plans and is no longer. The May Madness Finale, which will be run at a later date, will be a double points feature event. The Northeast Wingless Sprint Cars, Hammer Sportsman will both be in action as well for the first time since April 29th. The Lyons Construction/Metal Fab Rookie Sportsman will also be on the card with two features as well to make up for all of the rainouts. All active and retired Military Personnel will be admitted free to the grandstands this Saturday with ID.
