Sicklerville, NJ (July 14, 2014) –  One week after the official announcement, plenty of drivers have made plans to attend Modified Mayhem slated for Friday, August 22 on Bridgeport Speedway’s quarter mile.  Corey Andersen, Brett Ballard and Ron Roberts, winners of Open Modified events on the inner oval in 2011, have added the race to their schedule. In addition, Ballard will be joined by his B&M Motorsports teammates, Matt Budd and Brad Roberts. Matthew Peck, the 2014 D&A’S Auto Body and Repair Rookie Series champion, will be on hand. Don Cogdill, III, a winner of a Big Block Modified race on the 5/8th mile in 2013, will be looking to gain a victory on the smaller clay oval. Bridgeport Speedway regulars such as Scott Hulmes and Pete Serra will be on hand. Veteran racer Billy Briggs should be making his first start of the 2014 season at Modified Mayhem.  Bruce Gsell will be putting the finishing touches on his car and has confirmed his attendance.

In addition to some familiar names that race at Bridgeport Speedway on a consistent basis, several invaders have indicated their participation in the Modified Mayhem race. Dale Hawkins along with his son, Matt, are planning to make the tow from Delaware to Southern New Jersey. Paul Hartwig, Ryan Simmons, and Kevin Vaclavicek, a trio that regularly compete at New Egypt Speedway, will be looking to take the checkered flag in the 25-lap feature following qualifying races.
