Today Brett Hearn will host ‘The Big Show 5’ at Albany Saratoga Speedway.  It is the second consecutive visit for the popular Super DIRTcar Series Big-Block Modified event at the Malta oval.

The Recovery Sports Grill main event will offer 100 laps for the Modified traveling tour.  Local sponsor Sowle Tractor Trailer Repair Services is also adding to the winner’s share —  resulting in a total payday of $9,711 to the race winner. Qualifying events to gain way into that feature event will pay $500 to the race winners.

A 12-lap ‘Morris Ford Dash for Cash’ will also be part of the mid-week event. The dash will be made up of the top five in DIRTcar tour points [Matt Sheppard, Jimmy Phelps, Brett Hearn, Stewart Friesen and Danny Johnson], with those five drivers going up against Albany Saratoga’s top five [Kenny Tremont, Matt DeLorenzo, Ronnie Johnson, Marc Johnson and Pete Britten] from their weekly chase.  Add last year’s ‘Big Show’ winner, Bobby Varin, to that mix.  And another $500 payoff.

The Pro Stock division will also be part of Hearn’s shindig.  Weekly Albany Saratoga Speedway competitor Rob Yetman was instrumental in adding the DIRTcar Pro Stock Series event to tonight’s schedule, and like Hearn, will be competing in tonight’s action.

Promoter Hearn has many things planned for what is expected to be a standing-room only crowd — see you there!

Grandstand gates will open at 4:00 p.m..  The autograph session is from 5:00 – 6:00 p.m. To get in the gates it will be $24 for adults and $5 for children under 12. For access into the pits, $30 for members and $35 for non-members.
