On Thursday the news was made official by the Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series that the winner’s purse for Open Wheel Wednesday on June 26 at Seekonk Speedway will be doubled from $10,000 to $20,000 as part of an overall $28,000 increase in the total race purse in honor of legendary Seekonk racer Vinny Annarummo.
We talked with defending Open Wheel Wednesday winner Matt Swanson about the news at Seekonk and some other topics of interest involving his schedule over the next month.
“If guys aren’t coming to support these events, especially when a series is putting this much effort into raising the purses, it’s going to make the series not want to do it anymore,” Swanson said. “Us as racers, we all need to get out and support these events and give the fans a spectacle to want to be at the race track and support these events. If everyone does their part, the fans support the event, the racers support the event and the promoters keep promoting the event, that’s what keeps this whole ball rolling up here. Hopefully everyone does their part.”
