Story By: DAVE BUCHANAN / RANSOMVILLE SPEEDWAY – RANSOMVILLE, NY – Ransomville Speedway is proud to welcome two new local businesses as well as a returning organization to its family of marketing partners for the 2020 season.
ClearShine Western New York and Hanes Excavation and Landscaping are the two new members of the “Big R” family while Dig Safely New York is returning after a few years away. Ransomville Speedway management is looking forward to working with all three groups this season and for many years to come.
Dig Safely New York has long been associated with grassroots motorsports across the state, especially with the Super DIRTcar Series. They will be race night sponsor for the return of the Empire Super Sprints to Ransomville on Friday, August 14 as well as being featured on signage at the speedway all season long.
Established in 1969, Dig Safely New York promotes an easier, safer digging environment, and serves the entire state of New York outside of Long Island and New York City, which is covered by New York 811. Headquartered in East Syracuse, NY, their Customer Service Representatives (CSRs) are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year to receive calls regarding planned excavations. CSRs then distribute the information from these calls to, on average, six facility owners/operators. Excavators, contractors, design engineers, and home/property owners can place a location request by calling us toll-free at 811 or 1-800-962-7962, or by using their online location request programs.
ClearShine Western New York will have its first-ever company night at the “Big R” on Friday, July 3 as part of a jam-packed night of racing and amazing holiday fireworks display. ClearShine is a small business comprised of several members with a broad range of professional detailing and automotive experience. As a result of these personal experiences, they are able to put a target on “the best detail products” and chase after that goal. Most of all, they understand that detailing is a “labor of love” that not everyone loves! Therefore, they aim to create innovative products that save you time working so you can spend more time enjoying. You can contact them through their Clear Shine Western New York Facebook page.
You will be able to find Hanes Excavation and Landscaping at Ransomville Speedway through their billboard as well as inside the Ransomville Laps program this season. Owned by Kevin Hanes II, they are located at 2977 Randall Rd in Ransomville. Hanes offers a variety of commercial and residential services, including landscape design and installation, paver patios and sidewalks, retaining walls, trimming and mulching, yard grading, drain tile, driveways and more. Call them at (716) 425-6576 or find them on Facebook.
The 2020 racing season is coming up fast, and spots are filling up in our VIP suites. Contact Jenn Martin at the Speedway office at (716) 791-3602 to reserve your company, group or organization’s night. Ransomville Speedway will be at the Motorsports Expo at the NYS Fairgrounds in Syracuse this weekend (March 14 & 15).
