SPORTSMAN CARS WILL BE ALLOWED TO RACE WITH CRATE POWERED CARS IN 2013
AT BRIDGEPORT SPEEDWAY

Bridgeport, NJ (January 25, 2013) - After discussion with plenty of
drivers, Bridgeport Speedway will allow open Sportsman cars to compete
with Crate Sportsman cars throughout the entire 2013 season. "I have
received many inquiries from Sportsman competitors about running
weekly at Bridgeport Speedway this year and we feel this will help our
car count and help grow the division,” remarked track operator Keith
Hoffman.

Sportsman cars competing in the newly combined Crate/Sportsman class
will need to weigh 2450 pounds and can only use steel wheels.
Competitors using crate powered cars can weigh 2350 pounds with
aluminum wheels and must adhere to Bridgeport Speedway Crate Sportsman
rules including the use of a 6200 rev limiting chip. An experiment of
combining the open Sportsmen and Crate Sportsmen powered cars occurred
during Wild Card Weekend in November 2012. “Doug tried this concept at
the last show of 2012. It seemed to work very well. I am going to
monitor the racing. If I see any unfair advantage, I will adjust the
rules to keep a very level playing field ,” stated Hoffman. A new set
of rules for this new division is being finalized and will be posted
at www.bpspeedway.com. A rookie series for the Crate/Sportsman
division is being added as well. All parties interested in the rookie
series should contact Danny Serrano at danny@bpspeedway.com.

The Crate/Sportsman racers will debut on Saturday, March 30 with the
first race of their Poker Series. “The 60 Over Special” Race of
Champions Big Block Modified race in honor of Doug Hoffman will
highlight the three-division season opener. This 60-lap contest will
serve as the initial hand of the Big Block Modified Poker Series for
2013. In addition, the first of five races of the new Shootout Series
for the Outlaw Stock Cars starts on this day.
