The race is slated for the day after Father’s Day, Monday,
June 18th.
Already consenting to participate are
Monticello’s leading drivers, Jimmy Taggart, Jr. and Jimmy
Marohn , Jr. who are currently one- two on the local leaderboad. Also ready to
honor their dads by driving in the event are 15-time Mighty M driving champ
Billy Parker, Jr. along with follow Maine- native Kevin Switzer, Jr. who
currently is sixth in races won here this season.
In an effort to get more participants in the Junior
Free For All the raceway’s director of racing ,Eric Warner, has been searching
for more juniors and recently has heard from two others who would like to
drive in the competition.
Warner was referring to Greg Decker Jr. and Mike Marx, Jr.
The former will bring his 442 career victories to the race and the
latter, who currently has reined 84 winners in his fledgling career, are
both anxious to be part of the father celebration.
Warner has also heard from Keith Kash, Jr. who competes
regularly at Northfield Park and Buffalo Raceway. Kash said if his schedule
allows he could be a possible entrant in the Junior Free For All.
“We’ve got a good start but we still need a few more juniors
in order to fill the field,” Warner noted.
Any driver who fits the criteria and is interested in
participating in the Junior Free For All is urged to contact Warner in the race
office by calling 845-794-4100x557. Or they can call the track’s publicity
office at extension 455.
