AIS RENAMES PREVIOUSLY SCHEDULED MAARA EVENT

New Bremen, NY – "We're going to start an opening day trend this year, our own little Daytona", proclaimed AIS management from their Castorland, NY office this past weekend. Giving themselves a short but positive amount of time to promote, the Adirondack International Speedway will open their state of the art facility on May 19th with the first annual, Renegade Spring Nationals.

            After dropping the Mid-Atlantic Asphalt Racing Alliance (MAARA) sanction from the event, AIS officials brainstormed the thought of starting their own event and policing the competition under their own ASA Challenger Late Model rules. A verdict was reached and the Speedway will kick their 2007 season off in a huge way.

            With pit gates set to open at 12pm and racing to begin at 5pm, the days events will be headlined with the “Renegade Champ 101” for the Late Model division. As all MAARA-spec Late Model cars fit under the Speedway’s ASA Challenger Late Model rules the car count is expected to reach an all-time high. “All cars that planned to come here for the MAARA event are still welcome, the only difference is that this event will not be MAARA sanctioned or under the MAARA rulebook,” stated General Manager Billy Gibson. “We’re getting a lot of outside interest coming from Western New York and Pennsylvania. This event will be a big deal as we’re expecting the best of the best in asphalt Late Model racing.”

            With the event marked as the first point race for the Speedway, pit area admission will run $30 for non-ASA members and $25 for all ASA Members. Grandstand admission is set at $20 for General Adult admission and $10 for kids. Ages 9 and under will be permitted free of charge. The Renegade Champ 101 purse will be viewable on the speedway website shortly.

While consistently labeled as the premier short-track racing facility in New York State, A.I.S. remains to build off years prior as they single themselves out with the best professional asphalt racing show in Northeast. Located along Artz Rd. in Lowville, NY, A.I.S. hosts ASA sanctioned racing every Saturday night through the summer.
