Smethport, PA (April 22, 2013) A new era will begin this upcoming Saturday, April 27 at the NDRL’s McKean County Raceway as they open the gates to their 2013 season with the ‘Jim and Mike Duffy Memorial’ featuring the NDRL’s ULMS & UEMS Racing Series’ as well as the RUSH Crate Late Models, Close Racing Supply Street Stocks and the Mini-Stocks.

Sparks will fly as the NDRL’s ULMS Late Models will battle for $3,000 on the 1/3 mile Smethport, PA oval.
