BRP Tour Added to Yankee Doodle Festivities at Central PA Speedway

The BRP Modified Tour is pleased to confirm that they will be competing at the Central PA Speedway, in Clearfield, PA, on Tuesday, July 3rd, as part of the speedway’s annual Yankee Doodle 50 racing card. The 2007 event will be the series’ third at the speedway as hometown hero, Del Rougeux Jr., took the inaugural event in 2005 with Leechburg’s Brian Swartzlander winning last year’s race. The Tour looks forward to working with speedway Race Director, Bill Lyle, to make the 2007 edition of the Yankee Doodle event a success.

The Tour Board is continuing to work with several other area facilities to add more dates to the 2007 schedule and the additional dates will be announced in the near future. In addition please note that a decision on the tentative event at the Lake Erie Speedway will be made after the testing session to be held in late April.
