410 SPRINT CARS HEADLINE NIGHT OF WINGS 2013
AT BRIDGEPORT SPEEDWAY ON JUNE 12
Bridgeport, NJ (May 13, 2013) – On
Wednesday, June 12, the 410 Sprint
Cars are set to return to Bridgeport
Speedway and will headline the
Night of Wings 2013 show. Keith Hoffman,
track operator of South
Jersey facility, is teaming with Mike Heffner to
promote the event.
Heffner, owner of the Lelands.com sponsored 410 Sprint
Car driven this
year by Lance Dewease, co-promoted the successful 2012
Night of Wings
show at Bridgeport Speedway. “I am very excited to see the
410 Sprint
Cars at Bridgeport Speedway. This should be a must-see event on
everyone’s calendar,” stated Hoffman.
For this race, a hefty purse
will be up for grabs. The victor of the
25-lap main event will walk away
with a cool $7,000 and $500 will be
given to take the green. Non qualifiers
will go home with $100. Some
of the top drivers in 410 Sprint Car racing
have already committed to
the Night of Wings 2013 show. Along with Dewease,
Fred Rahmer, and
Dave Blaney have announced plans to attend. In addition,
an autograph
session with Blaney is slated to occur before the racing
activity gets
underway. Many other top names are expected to be on hand for
this
event.
Qualifying for the 410 Sprint Cars will follow the same
format that
was employed at last year’s Night of Wings show. Upon entry to
the
facility, each 410 Sprint Car driver will draw a pill to determine his
or her heat race group. Each grouping will go out for time trials and
an inversion of the top four (4) will set the starting lineup of each
respective heat race. Drivers not in the top four (4) of their groups
will be lined up in the qualifying events by time. The first two (2)
finishers in each heat race are eligible for the feature redraw and
the
fastest qualifier in each grouping will be added as well providing
the
driver finishes the heat race in a qualifying position. All other
heat race
qualifiers will be assigned a starting position in the main
event by
time.
On Wednesday, June 12, the gates to the pit area will open at 4:00
p.m. with the grandstand ticket office opening at 5:00 p.m. Warm-up
sessions are set to begin at 7:00 p.m. with racing getting underway at
7:30 p.m. Night of Wings 2013 tickets for fans 16 and older will be
$25 in advance or $30 on the day of the show. Admission for students
(10-15) will be $15 and children 9 and under are free. Skyboxes are
available for this event as well and can be reserved by contacting the
speedway office at 856-467-4407. A rain date of Thursday, June 13 has
been scheduled for this race and a second racing division will be
added
to round out the program.

family atmosphere, free
parking, giveaways, and fan participation games. As
a premier racing
complex, Bridgeport Speedway is a banked 5/8th mile dirt
oval,
