Popular Matt Buckler To Call Seekonk Special Event In June

 

Seekonk, MA. — Long-time Connecticut race announcer and well-known sportswriter, Matt Buckler Jr., has been added to the broadcast team at next month’s special open-wheel event at Seekonk Speedway, Seekonk, MA.

 

The Four-in-one program, on Sunday afternoon, June 2, will feature a special race for SK type modifieds, NEMA Midgets, Northeast Mini Stock Tour and the Pro-4 Modifieds. Buckler will join track announcer Kevin Boucher for the special modified race.

 

Race producer Gary Sagar wanted Buckler to be a part of the first ever event at Seekonk from the get go. “Matt works with the SK-type modifieds at Waterford, Stafford, and Thompson and has the most knowledge of their drivers and cars. His uncanny wit and professional demeanor made him the ideal choice.”

 

Buckler visited Seekonk for the first time recently. “I was impressed with the facility. It’s an easy commute from Connecticut. I am excited to be part of this special race event.”

 

The midget portion of the race card will feature the annual “Boston Louie Memorial Classic” in honor of the late ‘Boston’ Louie Seymour, a local icon who fielded winning race cars throughout the country.
