It's finally here! The first race of the 2015 CRSA racing season starts on Saturday, April 25th, at the Fonda Speedway in Fonda, NY.
The Kennedy's Towing "Northway-90 Challenge" series points will begin as well as the season long CRSA Sprint Car Tour points battle, which will see John Matrafailo try to defend the title he has held for the past two consecutive years. Schaeffer Racing Oil has come on board to sponsor the heat races and Hannay Reels is sponsoring a 4-lap Shootout dash for the six qualified cars who had missed the redraw. The Magsarus Hard Charger Award is back again this season as well and will be presented at every event.
This will also be the first EVER sprint car race for a number of racers in the CRSA Tour and the race for the Rookie of the Year is the largest in years.
