BRIDGEPORT MOTORSPORTS PARK GEARING UP FOR 2020 WITH MOTORSPORTS EXPO
Bridgeport, NJ – The all new Bridgeport Motorsports Park will be at this weekend’s Motorsports Expo in Oaks, PA January 17-19. New ownership of the multi-track facility was finalized with the turning of the calendar year and new owners Doug & Brittany Rose and team have been hard at work since the final checkered flag waved back in November.
“We literally have been working on so many things here since Monday morning, November 11,” Rose explained. “From the construction of the new track, the reconfiguration of the 1/4 mile track, painting all the buildings, renovating the concession stand, updating all the 2020 rules, selling billboards, to designing brand new racing apparel, you name it we’ve been hard at work,” added Rose.
“I’m excited, my wife Brittany’s and son Brady is excited, our staff is excited, drivers and fans are too. It’s definitely a huge undertaking but, it will all be worth it when the final product is unveiled in a couple of months! A fan stopped by the track today and was curious to see what was going on, as are most people. He told me that he was very apprehensive about losing the 5/8 and thought it was going to be a bad move. BUT, after he walked up to the track he said ‘Holy *hit, this is going to be great!’. Everyone that has been able to see the work that’s been put in, has been extremely impressed. Just wait till we get race cars on it, I say!”
Rose, along with track manager Danny Serrano, tech inspector Ray Carroll, office manager Kate Raively, along with many of the other speedway employees will be on hand to meet and greet the race teams and fans throughout the entire weekend at Motorsports. All the official paperwork and forms will be available at Bridgeport Motorsports Park’s booth. Brand new ‘2020’ schedules that include events for the World of Outlaws, Super DIRTcar Series, both USAC sprints and midgets, Short Track Super Series, and Monster Truck Showdown, along with 2019 dvds, and hot off the press ‘2020’ racing apparel. Thanks to Bob Hilbert Sportswear, there will be three, yes three new t-shirt/hoodie designs for everyone to add to their collection (two year-long designs and a Kingdom of Speed event design)…fans should get theirs’ before opening day on March 28!
’19 Track champion Tom Wills Jr. will be representing the Street Stocks with his always sharp-looking No. 856. Richie Pratt Jr. will have the beautiful Danny Sommeling-owned No. 51 modified on display as well, and the 1/4 mile will be well represented by the Ed Barber-Spirit sponsored No. 99B 600 micro sprint.
Everyone at Bridgeport is looking forward to an exciting and unforgettable 2020 season. However, Motorsports is the first on the checklist this coming weekend.
