Raceway finale is Friday

Postponed from Aug. 20, the day after the area was hit with a torrential downpour, season finale action at Phillips County Raceway at the fairgrounds in Holyoke is scheduled for this Friday night, Sept. 17, at 7 p.m.

After the races, there will be an old-school, end-of-the-season party in the pits.

Promoter Joe Bellm encourages everyone to bring their own food and drinks as they potluck in the pits to celebrate a great 2021 season.

Season awards will be distributed, and there will be discussion about what they would like to see in 2022.

Along with the season championship races will be a new for-fun event called the NAPA Challenge, as sponsored by Kameron Knight and his NAPA store, S&W Auto Supply, in Holyoke.

The challenge event will be conducted at intermission — after the heat races and before the main events.

Eight local-area racers in four different divisions will be competing in the challenge race.
