KIRKWOOD,
NY – Ozzy Osborne
sang it best: “Mama, I’m coming home.�
At the stroke
of midnight to start the New Year, the news broke. For the first time since October
2013, BD Motorsports Media LLC returns to promote an event at one of its
original facilities: Five Mile Point Speedway in Kirkwood, N.Y.
The historic
quarter-mile oval celebrates its 70th anniversary in 2020 and BD
Motorsports Media LLC will be part of it.
On Sunday,
May 3, the ‘70th Anniversary Special’ will take over ‘the Point.’
The Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By Sunoco
Modifieds and Crate 602 Sportsman will both take part in the program.
STSS
Modifieds compete in a $7,000-to-win, 51-lap main event. The 51-lap distance
reflects the first year of operation at the speedway: 1951.
Crate 602
Sportsman ($1,500 to win) and Four Cylinders will complete the tripleheader
program.
For the STSS
Modifieds, the event marks Race No. 2 of the Halmar International North Region.
