Promoters Brett Hearn And Lyle DeVore Have Fans In Mind On Wet Day In Malta

July 7, 2015  By Rob Hazer (Malta, NY) – Brett Hearn’s Big Show VII is one of the most anticipated events of 2015. As part of Albany-Saratoga Speedway’s 50th anniversary season the event is without a doubt a must attend for fans and drivers alike. With drizzle falling at the track through the morning and pending thunderstorms coming in the late afternoon into evening hours the Big Show was postponed to August 12th with the fans best interest in mind.

Big Show promoter Brett Hearn met with track promoter Lyle DeVore and DIRTcar Northeast Director Mike Perotte through the morning hours into the early afternoon on weather and a possible rain date. With an unfavorable forecast looming through the day, the decision was made to postpone the Big Show until August 12th in its entirety.

“With the drizzle that’s been falling at the track all morning and the pending thunderstorms coming this afternoon we felt it was best for everyone to postpone,” said Big Show Promoter Brett Hearn.

“We talked with Mike Perotte and agreed upon the date of August 12th that seemed to fit well for everyone. Our biggest concern was not having the same thing happen as last year, when fans had to come twice to see the show. It was important to us to make sure the full Big Show experience happened without a hitch or weather issue,” continued Hearn.

Hearn is of course referring to 2014 when Big Show VI was rain delayed just 11 laps into the main event. With that in mind all three promoters and directors (Hearn, DeVore, Perotte) had fans, drivers, officials, and special guests in mind during the process of making the decision to postpone. They preferred not to rush or cut any of the pageantry for the fans from the event.

Big Show VII will take place just a little over a month from its original scheduled date, which gives time for Hearn and company to dig a little deeper into the promotional bucket before the big day. More stories, more promotion, and more anticipation will surely lead up to the highly touted Big Show VII.

The aforementioned pageantry is something very important to Brett Hearn during his promotion, as fan interaction is a key part of the Big Show at Albany-Saratoga Speedway.

“We didn’t want to sacrifice any of the pageantry or fan interactions of the Big Show. We set those things up for the fans and want them to experience and enjoy the Big Show and the talent that comes to it,” concluded Brett Hearn.

Kenny Wallace was a go for July 7th, however his return on August 12th is still a work in progress. Wallace has quite a busy schedule of his own, as he balances his NASCAR TV career with his own dirt track racing schedule. More info will come in the near future on weather or not ‘the Herminator’ can return in August to join in the festivities of Big Show VII.

Mark down the new date of August 12th and be part of a Big Show worthy of celebrating 50 years at the historic Albany-Saratoga Speedway for 100 Laps of Big Block Modified Super DIRTcar Series action along with the 602 Crate Sportsman division.

Come out early to enjoy the off clay attractions including souvenirs, apparel, autograph session, and refreshments. Gates open at 4 PM, autograph session between 5-6 PM, and racing to begin at 7 PM. Autograph session is scheduled to include the stars of the Super DIRTcar Series and top Albany-Saratoga track regulars.
