Popular western New York facility will host competitive 10.90 series

The Joe's Transmission TNT Super Series has added a new venue to its 2010 schedule. Empire Dragway (formerly New York International Raceway Park) in Leicester, New York will host the 10.90 sportsman series on Saturday June 5th.

Bob Metcalfe, President of Empire Dragway says the TNT Series is what local racers are looking for. "We're excited to have such an established series focused on the sportsman racer visit our track. It seems that these types of series are what racers today are asking for," commented Bob.

This event will be a points race in the 2010 Joe's Transmission TNT Super Series points chase. "We're still going to count a racer's best five events on the US side making it fair for everyone," commented Ted Barnes, TNT Series Director. "The best five in the USA plus a racers best five on the Canadian side will determine the 2010 points championship."

The competitors in the TNT Super Series come from across western New York and southern Ontario. "Many of our racers will run both Hot Rod and the local track's Super Pro class...making it even more worthwhile to attend," added Ted. "And with us running at Dunn Tire Raceway Park on the Friday night before this race, it's kind of like a double New York weekend for us."

Empire Dragway will allow racers to arrive late Friday and camp overnight for the Saturday event. For full details and directions to the track, visit www.empiredragway.com and be sure to check the series website regularly at www.tntsuperseries.com for the latest in series news and changes for 2010.
