TRI TRACK FORMS PARTNERSHIP WITH ALL PHASES RENOVATIONS TO BECOME TITLE SPONSOR FOR 2021

March 1, 2021

SEEKONK, Mass. — Tri Track Open Modified Series officials announced on Monday that All Phases Renovations has become the title sponsor of the series for 2021.

All Phases Renovation, which services customers in southern New England year-round, specializes in inground pool installation, decks, patios, pavilions, bathrooms, basements and more. They can be found by visiting their Facebook page or calling 508-332-6316 to book appointments.

The title sponsorship for Tri Track means the list of prizes will only grow for the new season, while partnering with All Phases Renovations will give both Tri Track and All Phases the chance to grow their brands further. Tri Track looks forward to working with All Phases to continue to support the short-track, grassroots Modified racer and fan with lucrative purses and side-by-side, 600-horsepower Modified action on the track.

“We can’t thank the team at All Phases Renovations enough for coming on board to support the series for 2021,” Wayne Darling, Managing Partner of Tri Track, said. “We look forward to working with them to continue to grow the series and continue to give back to our great competitors and our fans. We’re excited for the season.”

Owner of All Phases Renovation, Larry Westgate, has been around the sport of short-track racing his entire life. Whether it was competing in a Street Stock at Seekonk Speedway or a Late Model at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park, Westgate’s tenure behind the wheel ended, and he decided to take a break from the support. However, upon his return in the last two years, Westgate has quickly jumped back in at full speed.

As sponsor of more than nine race cars for the 2021 season, Westgate hopes to continue to further grow his business, which is already one of the top of its kind in the region, but also continue to enjoy his time at the track, where he feels at home.

“Tri Track is what I got started with in the Modifieds,, the first series I ever decided to run when I became a car owner,” Westgate said. “Seeing the purse structure, the way it’s growing, and the amount of money that is being passed out at each race — it’s drawing attention from all kinds of Modifieds and all kinds of fans in New England. It’s great to be a part of.”

The Tri Track Open Modified Series presented by All Phases Renovations has a six-race schedule for the new year, with two stops each at Monadnock Speedway, Star Speedway and Seekonk Speedway.

Modified Racing Series Set to Return to Claremont Motorsports Park in 2021

February 25, 2021

Claremont Motorsports Park and The Modified Racing Series are pleased to announce the return of one of New England’s finest modified touring series to the NH oval in 2021. The series and track will join forces for a spectacular fall day of racing that fans won’t want to miss. Labor Day weekend, 2021, the sound of tour type modifieds will once again thunder from Thrasher Road.

“We are thrilled to be able to bring The M.R.S. back to Claremont”, stated track promoter Mike Parks. “Tour type Modifieds were the lifeblood of the speedway for many many years so to bring them back is an honor”. Parks went on to say “Jack (Bateman) and general manager Willie Doucette are bringing the series back to its roots for 2021 and we are excited to be a part of that process”.

Racer Friendly Affordable Series

As for M.R.S. in 2021, the series wants to get back to being a racer friendly, affordable series that any modified competitor can be competitive in. Thorough technical inspection, cost containment and a return to the series original tracks are all part of this initiative. “We want to be a more affordable New England short track series”, states series general manager Willie Doucette. “Claremont Motorsports Park is the reason the series started and we want to remember the places and people who got this started.” Doucette went on to say, “we want to leave something positive for the next generation of modified racers”.

Bateman and Parks have been in discussion about making this happen for several weeks and one of the discussion points was how to make the racing as exciting as possible. The two agreed that a 75 lap feature was one way to do this so that the driver would race the entire distance. The M.R.S. will use its normal pill draw and heat race qualifying format and all series technical rules and race procedures will be in effect.

The Modified Racing Series will be part of what promises to be a spectacular day of racing at the Thrasher Road speed plant. “We have assembled a fantastic list of divisions for this event”, says Parks. “Between some of our weekly divisions and the touring divisions we have brought in, this is going to be a can’t miss day of racing”.

Other Divisions Include Legends Cars

Other divisions on the card will include the Claremont Motorsports Park Street stocks, Pure Stocks, Six Shooters and the NELCAR Legends cars. If history is any indication Parks and his team will have something up their sleeves for the pure stocks and six shooters and the Legends will race for regional points and more. “This is a big weekend for the speedway and we have some Ideas for our entry level divisions”, said Parks. “We don’t have anything set in stone but we hope to get those teams a little extra glory that weekend”.

The Street Stock race will be the third annual Richard Tetreault memorial 73, co-promoted by Joe Tetreault and his family. This race has turned into a favorite of fans and competitors alike and always caters to ultra-competitive racing. “We are super excited to have this race for the third year in a row”, stated Tetreault, son of the races name sake. “Mike has been great to work with and the competitors have been awesome”. He went on to add, “We are hoping to make this year’s event bigger and better than the last two and have some exciting things in the works.”

Racing on Sunday, 9/5

All of this action will take place Sunday September 5th with a post time of 5pm. This will be the second night of racing that weekend for the Claremont racetrack as there will be racing Friday night September 3rd starting at the tracks usual post time of 7:30pm.
