Promoter Change At Hartford
(4/3/2012) – Effective immediately, the Hartford Motor Speedway owner Jim Borden will step down as the speedway’s promoter for the 2012 season due to health concerns. Mr. Borden’s desire to see continued action at the speedway will result in JR & Becky Hotovy taking over the promotional reigns for the upcoming season. With his daughter and son-in-law filling his role of promoter, it will allow Jim & Patty to completely focus on his recovery.
There will be some minor changes to the existing 2012 schedule over the next few weeks. Unfortunately, the July 20th date for the World of Outlaws Late Models has been canceled. JR & Becky will focus their attention on weekly events for our drivers and fans. The Lucas Oil Late Model event on May 11th will be now known as the Lane 48 presented by Allstar Performance to help celebrate Lane Automotive’s 48th year of business.
The finalized 2012 schedule will be posted on the website in the next seven to ten days. We ask everyone to please keep Jim, Patty and the entire Borden family in your thoughts and prayers during his recovery and we look forward to seeing everyone at opening night on
May 4th.
