“We are looking forward to another great TD Bank 250 in 2011,” Speedway owner Bill Ryan announced. “Our fans have come to expect to watch not only the superstars of the Late Model ranks from throughout New England and Canada, but to also watch NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers compete for the coveted TD Bank win.”
