For Immediate Release                                                                                                        BRS-032623-1

Bear Ridge Speedway is gearing up for their 56th year of consecutive racing with an “Elms at the Helm”. The Ridge continues to be the best source of great inexpensive high-quality entertainment for families.

The DIRTcar Sabil & Sons Sportsman Modifieds drivers are hoping they can dethrone the past three seasons champion Jason Gray as they get set to welcome two DIRTcar Eastern Series events. The competition in this division continues to be edge of your seat excitement as anyone in the top ten for the past couple of years could easily see themselves crowned the champ. Will this be the year that Richie Simmons finally gets the crown, or with Robert Tucker make it happen while holding of the likes of DJ Robinson, Ryan Christian, Jeremy Huntoon, or Matt Lashua. Don’t rule out Jordan Fornwalt a past champ who is more than anxious to reclaim the crown!

In the DIRTcar Wells River Chevrolet Sportsman Coupes Tad Kingsbury is hoping he can hold off the competition to claim his fourth championship in a row, but will have to accomplish the feat while holding off the hard fought challenges of, Matt “Hoss” Ellsworth, Ricky Sanville, Tim Hodge or the up and coming Ali Pushee to name but a few of the drivers who on a given night could grab the checkers putting them in position for the crown.

The DMA Midgets numbers are looking strong this year, with several drivers already talking about being the one on top at the end of the season. Will this year’s champion once again come from the Matczak stable or will the new young guns from the Miller Stable be able to have a banner year and claim the gold for their car owner? Don’t rule out one of the long-time competitors like Jeff Horn who has knocked on the door several times only to fall short.

Also returning of course under a new banner are the High County Dispensary  Late Models along with the LaValley Building Supply Dirt Stockers, the (also a new banner) Woodsville Power Equipment Ridge Runners and the Joe Mama’s Sporting Goods 4/6 Cylinder Enduro Series.

Remember in today’s society we could all use a little more family entertainment, and the Ridge is your best place to be for just that. The admission price is more than reasonable; the show top-notch, the food superior, and the family friendly atmosphere is just what you are looking for.
