Tucson, AZ (December 2nd, 2009) - As the Holiday's
approach and we roll into 2010, Tucson's USA Raceway will
kick off the new year honoring a great American racer and
Tucson legend Roger McCluskey. Top sprint car drivers
from across the country will migrate to the warmer climate
to take part in the 6th Annual Roger McCluskey Classic and
bring in the New Year with the first racing event of 2010.
The Roger McCluskey Classic which takes place the first
weekend of the New Year enters its 6th year and has grown
into a must see event. Top traditional sprint car drivers
will tackle USA Raceway's 3/8-mile clay oval for two days
on January 2nd and 3rd as they look to capture the
inaugural 2010 victory and add their name to past
champions that include Josh Pelkey, Jesse Hockett, Jerry
Coons Jr., and Johnny Herrera.
"The Roger McCluskey Classic is a great event started by
Pat Robley and is an excellent way to start the New Year"
commented USA Raceway. "We are honored to carry on the
tradition and to be able to celebrate the history of a
Tucson icon and American legend like Roger McCluskey."
While top sprint car drivers will be competing for $2k on
the preliminary night and a $3k on the championship night,
both X-Mods and Modlites will join the field for an
unprecedented $1k winners share of the event. All three
divisions will compete in full shows for both days and the
champions will be crowned on Sunday evening.
