RIVERSIDE SPEEDWAY AND P.A.S.S.
JOIN FORCES FOR 2006
On the
heels of an agreement between Riverside Speedway owner CJ Robinson, and the
new track lessee, Dick Therrien, for Therrien to take over the facility in
2006, comes another major announcement. Therrien and P.A.S.S. President, Tom
Mayberry have put together a package that will allow Riverside Speedway to be
sanctioned by P.A.S.S. for 2006.
"I
am ecstatic about this agreement to fall in under the P.A.S.S. sanction. This
is nothing but positive for Riverside Speedway racers, fans and management.
This agreement is going to help elevate Riverside to the next level. Myself
and the P.A.S.S. organization worked very well together last season and it
proved very successful for both groups. We have some big plans for 2006, and I
am excited about our new partnership" stated Therrien.
P.A.S.S.
mentor, Tom Mayberry feels very strongly as well about the deal. "Dick is
a very intense and dedicated to the sport of auto racing, and making Riverside
Speedway successful. His superior efforts in 2005 made our two events at
Riverside, extremely successful. His hospitality was second to none on
the P.A.S.S. Tour, and the race teams are looking forward to returning in
2006." Our agreement will definitely benefit both organizations.
P.A.S.S.
