95.3 / 107.1 the Wolf as the 2025 Weekly Racing Series Sponsor
our 58TH consecutive season of racing

For Immediate Release BRS-01252025-1

Bear Ridge Speedway "the fastest dirt track in Vermont" promoters/owners C.V. “Butch” Elms and April May Preston-Elms are excited to announce a new sponsor for the weekly racing. 95.3/107.1 The Wolf along with Heath Cole have been a longtime supporter of the Ridge sponsoring the annual Memorial Day remembrance of lost friends race night. When the weekly racing series sponsorship opened Heath and Jim Whedon of Binnie Media the parent company were eager to jump on board.
Having worked with Heath for over twenty years now, both at the Wolf and other stations before that, we are really pleased that we were able to offer Binnie Media an opportunity to enhance their involvement with us. This partnership affords both of us an opportunity to expand our respective footprint in Vermont and New Hampshire, and we look forward to a long-standing relationship with the team at 95.3/107.1 The Wolf said Preston-Elms.
C.V. “Butch” Elms with wife April May Preston-Elms continue to host the best short track dirt racing in Vermont, making this one of the few tracks in the United States that has for 58 consecutive years always been owned or operated by the same family.
95.3/107.1 The Wolf weekly racing series includes the DIRTcar Sabil & Sons Sportsman Modifieds, DIRTcar Wells River Chevrolet Sportsman Coupes, Xtreme DIRTcar DMA Midgets, High Country Dispensary Late Models, LaValley Building Supply Dirt Stocks, and the Woodsville Power Equipment Ridge Runners. Plus, the once monthly Joe Mama’s Sporting Goods 4/6 Cylinder Enduros. New for 2025 with be the Sportsman Modifieds Limited Division. In addition to the 95.3/107.1 weekly racing series divisions the Ridge will host the R.E. Hinkley (when at the Ridge) Granite State Mini Sprints and the Sprint Cars of New England (SCoNE).
