Riverhead Raceway Legend Cars to Remain Under INEX Banner

When the Legend Race Cars line-up for their first Riverhead Raceway event
of the 2012 season on Saturday evening May 5th they will indeed remain
under the INEX sanction for that and all 14 races set for the new season.
The Legends will be one of eight feature events presented on opening night
by Barbara & Jim Cromarty May 5th, with the NASCAR Modifieds racing in
their first of three Twin 30 events and are joined by the Late Models,
Figure Eights, Chargers, Blunderbusts, and Super Pro Trucks.

In October it was announced that the Legend division at Riverhead Raceway
would fall under the NASCAR Sanction, but upon further review by the
NASCAR Legal Department the class will remain under the INEX sanction,
rules and specs. As has been the case in past seasons with the Legend Race
Car class the driver of the team must have an INEX license, while all
other team members still must purchase a NASCAR license. If a driver is
going to compete in any other division at Riverhead in addition to the
Legends, he/she must have both an INEX and NASCAR license.

Chris Young of Calverton will defend his 2011 Legend Race Car title at
Riverhead Raceway in 2012 against what is already shaping up to be be a
stellar roster of drivers who want to take that crown away from the
teenaged talent.

For the entire 2012 Riverhead Raceway schedule please visit the all-new
www.riverheadraceway.com and get ready for a new season of INEX Legend
Race Car action at the famed quarter mile oval.
