BRIDGEPORT SPEEDWAY SCHEDULES A 410 SPRINT CAR EVENT TO BENEFIT JASON
LEFFLER’S SON

Bridgeport, NJ (July 20, 2013) – After a careful thought process,
Bridgeport Speedway, along with Heffner Racing Enterprises, is
planning a tribute event in honor of Jason Leffler. All proceeds from
a fan donation will benefit Leffler’s son, Charlie. The Jason Leffler
Tribute race is set for Sunday, September 8 at 6:00 p.m. In lieu of
an admission fee, fans will be admitted with their donation to a fund
benefitting Charlie Dean Leffler. “I have spoken to most of the 410
Sprint Car drivers that attended the June 12 show and they are in
favor of returning to Bridgeport Speedway for this tribute event. All
of the money collected at the grandstand gates will be sent to the
trust fund that has been created for Charlie. We are hoping each fan
can donate at least $13 as a tribute to Jason,” stated co-promoter
Mike Heffner.

In addition, this very special race is made possible by the fans and
their support from the postponed Night of Wings 2013 show. Spectators
with wristbands from the June 12 program will be honored as VIPs for
this event. Preferred seating will be established in the grandstand
area and the gates will open one hour earlier for these fans.
Additional special plans for our VIPs and other activities benefitting
the trust fund for Charlie Dean Leffler are in the works including
raffles for racing related items.

The Jason Leffler Tribute race will showcase the 410 Sprints Cars and
the TSRS Sprint Cars. The victor of the 25-lap main event for the 410
Sprint Cars will leave Southern New Jersey with $7,000. The take the
green money has been set at $500 and non- qualifiers will receive
$100. In addition, a $1,100 bonus for the top finishing 360 Sprint Car
has been established for the program.

The same format employed on June 12 will be used on September 8.
During registration, 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 Sunday, September 8, the gates to the pit area open at 3:30 p.m.
with the spectator turnstiles unlocking at 4:30 p.m. Wrist band
holders from the June 12 show can enter the grandstand area at 3:30
p.m. Hot laps will start at 5:30 p.m. with action getting underway at
6:00 p.m. A monetary donation to benefit Charlie Dean, Jason’s son,
will be necessary for grandstand admission. Pit wristbands from the
June 12 program will be accepted. Otherwise, pit admission will be
$35. If Port Royal should need this date as a raindate for their 46th
annual Tuscarora 50, Bridgeport Speedway will postpone the Jason
Leffler Tribute race and it will be held on Monday, September 9 at
6:00 p.m.
