BIG DIAMOND RACEWAY MAILING POINT FUND CHECKS FROM 2009, TROPHIES WILL BE DISTRIBUTED AT A LATER DATE...By Gary Lileck

Forestville, PA - October 17, 2009 The 2009 racing season was a difficult year for the sport of short track auto racing. The economic conditions combined with foul weather each led to an expensive year for various race teams. As for the weather, Big Diamond Raceway suffered a dozen rain-outs in 2009 alone.

Therefore, in an effort to save race teams money, Big Diamond Raceway will not be holding an Awards Party for 2009. Point fund checks for each of BDR's divisions will be sent through the mail. Trophies will be distributed at a later announced date.

Big Diamond Raceway returns with another action packed season of racing in 2010. Teams and fans are asked to keep checking the official website at www.bigdiamondraceway.com for updated press and news releases cooncerning the upcoming season. Offseason questions may be directed to the speedway office at 570-385-0744.

Big Diamond would like to thank everyone for their continued support and congratulations to the 2009 track champions: Dunae Howard of Oley (358 Modified), Kevin Beach of Llewellyn (Sportsman), Kevin Olenick of Forestville (Wooden Keg Roadrunner), Tom Hablett of Schuylkill Haven (6/8 Cylinder Enduro), and Kevin Holland of Pine Grove (4 Cylinder Enduro).
