Whiting, a former defensive end for the Philadelphia Eagles, called on some former friends, and from 1 to 3 p.m., 94 WIP personality Paul Jolovitz will be giving away Wing Bowl tickets and WIP prize packages.
Cinnaminson Mayor Ben Young and Deputy Mayor Anthony Minniti are slated to cut the ribbon for Speed Raceway at 3 p.m.
Listen to WIP between 1 and 3 p.m., Jan. 19, to hear Whiting talk about Speed Raceway.
The business opened just about two weeks before Christmas and in those weeks it was packed.
“People were off work, kids were home from school, it was crowded fast,” Whiting said.
Expectedly, the daytime traffic has died down a little but weekends have been great, Whiting said.
Stay tuned for photos from the grand opening celebration Sunday.
