Sicklerville, NJ (August 3, 2014) – In only a few short weeks, Modified cars will return to Bridgeport Speedway’s quarter mile track with Modified Mayhem. Slated for Friday, August 22, the event will include any type of Modified Stock Car from Crate/Sportsman through Big Block Modified competing on the tight confines of the inner oval at Bridgeport Speedway. Over thirty drivers have expressed interest in the race. The latest list of expected participants includes several feature winners in 2014. Richie Pratt, Jr, a May 17 winner on Bridgeport Speedway’s outer oval, is planning to be on hand. Scott Ambruster, who won his first career Big Block Modified race at Bridgeport Speedway on May 31, has added Modified Mayhem to his agenda. Travis Hill, a five-time feature winner and current point leader at Bridgeport Speedway, is preparing his family owned Sportsman car for this special race.
