Andy Miller named sponsor's exemption for 2011 Tioga Downs–Meadowlands Drivers' Championship
Tioga Downs is proud to announce that Andy Miller will be the 2011 Sponsor's Exemption for the 2011 Drivers' Championship at Tioga Downs and the Meadowlands.
Not only was Andy Miller's high level of talent a determining factor in his selection; but, Andy showed great support to The Meadowlands during times of uncertainty and great loyalty to not only New Jersey racing, but also to the sport as a whole.
He will join George Brennan, Tim Tetrick, Ron Pierce, Jody Jamieson, Brian Sears, David Miller, Yannick Gingras, and Ed Hensley to compete for more than $50,000, a new Tom Harmer Evolution Race Bike, and a commemorative ring from Bow River Jewelry.
The format of the Drivers' Championship is slightly modified this year.
The Meadowlands will host three or four races on their closing night, Saturday, August 20th.
The drivers will then take those points and carry them over to Tioga Downs for the final on Sunday, August 28th.
However, the driver leading after the Meadowlands leg will receive $10,000.
Also featured on Sunday, August 28th at Tioga Downs is the $420,000 estimated Zweig Memorial Trot for 3-year-old trotters.
Last year, Temple Of Doom and Lucky Chucky took home the two divisions for male trotters while Up Front Juansteen and Impressive Kemp took home divisions for filly trotters.
Post time for the Sunday, August 28th race card at Tioga Downs is set for 1:30 pm.
