ASA LATE MODEL SERIES SCHEDULES TWO EVENTS AT TRI-CITY
PENDLETON, Ind. (December 5, 2003) -- In one of the most anticipated inaugural
seasons in late model racing history, the 2004 ASA Late Model Series schedule
continues to form. Two more dates have been added with Michigan's Tri-City Motor
Speedway hosting events on Sunday, June 27 and Sunday, September 12. The addition
of these two events at Tri-City Motor Speedway increases the number of events in
Michigan to three, with the previously announced event at Berlin Raceway.
"Michigan was the birthplace of the ASA Late Model Series and Tri-City brings a good
fan base along with a challenging track layout," said Joe Balash, ASA operations
director. "We believe these dates are well-positioned and will enhance the ASA Late
Model Series even further in familiar surroundings."
The .50-mile oval of Tri-City Motor Speedway located in Auburn, Mich., is known as the
"Trick Track." Tri-City has hosted the ASA National Tour on eight occasions with Mike
Eddy, the seven-time ASA Champion, winning the series debut in July of 1989. Other
event winners include Ted Musgrave, Bob Senneker, Gary St. Amant and Georgia's
Mike Miller.
The former USPRO Racing Series (now the ASA Late Model Series) made its first
appearance at Tri-City Motor Speedway in October of 2003, with Bob Varney winning the
75-lap event. Robbie Johnson placed second and eventual series champion Mark Kortz
filling out the podium finishers.
The ASA Late Model Series will continue ASA's tradition at Tri-City Motor Speedway in
2004. The entire 2004 ASA Late Model Series schedule continues to be formulated with
a total of 14 events expected to make up the final slate.
Officials are planning for 100-lap green flag races with a preference to not have
competitors changing tires, adding fuel or needing pit stops during the events. The cars
will include makes from three major manufacturers - General Motors, Ford and Dodge.
They will utilize template bodies and engines from all three.
