Canandaigua, NY – December 21, 2011 – As it has done faithfully for the past 35 years, Canandaigua Motorsports Park will once again fly the DIRTcar banner when the Ontario County Fairgrounds' gates swing open to kick off the 2012 race season in April.
Continuing to headline the action-packed Saturday night show at the 'Land of Legends' will be the ground-pounding Original Pizza Logs Big-Block Modifieds along with a complete card of NAPA Sportsman, Parts Plus Street Stock, Klein Steel Direct Pure Stock and Community Car Care of Waterloo New Legends Sportsman. The 49th season of racing at the storied Routes 5 & 20 half-mile clay oval will also mark the debut of 305 Sprint Cars, currently slated to run on a bi-weekly basis (rules & regulations, purse structure, race format coming soon).
“There were a lot of factors that affected the decision to stay with the DIRTcar rulebook,” remarked Jeremie Corcoran, who officially begins his sophomore season promoting CMP as soon as the new year arrives. “Maintaining a top-flight field of cars, providing an entertaining program for our fans and doing what was in the best interest of my family are the primary concerns. All these were met and much more, so our only direction right now is fast forward until the cars hit the track in April.”
With the Dec. 17 awards banquet officially bringing the 2011 campaign to a close, the beginning of a brand new season is less than four months away. The 2012 CMP opener has been tentatively set for April 14, with practice held during the week prior.
