Bridgeport, NJ (March 1, 2013) – The 2013 opening event on Saturday, March 30 at Bridgeport Speedway just got richer for the winner. With “The 60 Over Challenge”,a $60 gambler’s fee, the victor of the “The 60 Over Special” can go home with $6,060.60. “Originally, the winner would have received $4,000,” stated new track manager Keith Hoffman. “We decided to raise the victor’s share with The 60 Over Challenge as another way to enhance our opener.”

“The 60 Over Special”, a tribute to Doug Hoffman, will be a 60-lap Race of Champions Big Block Modified race. Doug Hoffman, the 2012 promoter of Bridgeport Speedway, passed away on December 24, 2012.

In addition, two other divisions will be in action on this day. A 30-lap Poker Series race is set for the new Crate/Sportsman division. The Outlaw Stock Car Shoot Out Series gets started with the “Bill Reynolds Memorial 20” in memory of the former Bridgeport Speedway novelty owner.
