Conneaut, OH, (April 8, 2013):

The 2013 racing schedule is nearly final for Raceway 7 with Super Late Models and the Patriot Sprints highlighting the season. Gates will open for the first time in 2013 on April 19 for a practice session and again on April 26 for another session with racing starting on May 3 with all five divisions competing. Practice times will be 7:30-9:30 with the gates opening at 5. Pit admission will be $20 per person for each session and grandstand admission will be free. A limited menu of hot dogs, burgers, and drinks will be available at the main concession only in the grandstand area.

The first special of the season will be a Street Stock $500 to win event on May 10. All other classes will run a regular show. The last Friday of May, the 31st, will see the first-ever appearance of the Patriot Sprint Tour at Raceway 7. The winged 360 sprinters will take to the 3/8 mile oval for heats and feature with the racing starting at 7:30.

The Super Late Models will make three appearances this season with the first coming on June 14 for a $1500 to win special. They will return July 19 and August 16.

The Evergreen Lake Park Campground FASTRAK Late Models are scheduled for a Touring Series event on June 21 and another August 23. Friday June 7 will be a special night for all kids in scouting uniforms.
The EconoMods will have a $500 to win special on autograph night, June 28, always a fan favorite. All divisions will have their cars out on the front straight and fans will be permitted down on the track during intermission to mingle with the drivers and see the cars close-up.

The Special Products Mini stocks will have a $300 to win special July 5 along with a giant firewoks display, one of three fireworks nights scheduled in 2013. The other nights for fireworks will be June 7th and August 23.

The biggest night of the season for the E-Mods will come August 9 when the annual Chris Clinger Memorial will be run. The race is always the high point of the season for the open-wheeled ground-pounders and Jim Clinger always goes all out to put on a first-rate program of racing for the fans.
