Special from Berlin Raceway

Rowdy’s Revenge 251 to be Moved to Accommodate Eldora Prelude to the Dream

 

NASCAR Champion Bill Elliott to Sign Autographs, son Chase to Race

 

Marne, MI – Berlin Raceway has been in recent talks with NASCAR stars Kyle Busch and Bill Elliott regarding the running of the Rowdy’s Revenge 251. Due to a scheduling conflict with Eldora Speedway’s annual Prelude to the Dream, Berlin Raceway has decided to move the date of the event one week later to Tuesday, June 15.

 

The Prelude to the Dream each year makes a major contribution to a well-known charity organization, and Berlin Raceway Owner Michael Blackmer has decided to not hinder those efforts by running a conflicting race.

 

“We know how big the Prelude race at Eldora is and we don’t want to take anything away from it. Kyle and his group worked nicely with us and agreed to still race at Berlin that night, but we want him to be at Eldora to help raise money for charity,” said Michael Blackmer.

 

The CRA Super Series sanctioned event will be raced on Tuesday night rather than Wednesday, will now also feature 15-year-old Chase Elliott, who will drive his family owned #9 Aaron’s Ford. Chase is the son of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion Bill Elliott, who will be on hand to sign autographs on Tuesday night for fans as well.

 

Kyle Busch will again make his return to Berlin Raceway in an effort to capture the checkered flag from local favorite and defending race winner Brian Campbell. This year’s CRA Super Series event will pay a potential $25,000-to-win and a stout field of cars is expected. Also, raceway officials have hinted at possible additional NASCAR drivers to be in competition on June 15.

 

The Rowdy’s Revenge 251 presented by Keysers Port City Racing will be the highest paying template body race in the tracks 60-year history. Open practice for all competitors will take place on Monday June 14 presented by Auto Body Xperts CARSTAR.
