Fans Invited to Take Part in the Festivities at the 54 Annual Sunoco World Series
THOMPSON, CT — Although eighteen thrilling divisions of racing are sure to keep fans busy at the upcoming Sunoco World Series of Speedway Racing presented by Xtra Mart, Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park will also be offering a variety of activities to entertain fans throughout the three-day event, October 14-16.
On Friday afternoon, fans are invited to come cheer on their favorite team as the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour haulers line-up to parade into the track. The parade will leave from the Kmart on Route 44 in Putnam, CT at 3:30PM on Friday, travel north on Route 21 to Route 193, and will come through the center of Thompson to arrive at the track around 3:45PM.
A lull in activity on Sunday morning will also be the perfect time for fans of all ages to jump on the TSMP Hay Ride for a tour around the paddock area. Hay Rides will be offered to fans from 10:00 AM until 11:15 AM, leaving every 20 minutes from the main ticket booth. The Hay Rides will provide a tour around the paddock area and road course and will be hosted by a few special guest drivers.
Fans are also encouraged to stop by the midway to meet their favorite drivers at the Driver Autograph tables. The NEMA and Valenti Modified Racing Series drivers will be holding an autograph session on Saturday at 4:00PM, and the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour and ISMA (Supermodified) drivers will sign autographs at 1:00PM on Sunday, before their final race.
