The annual Lincoln Tunnel Challenge will be held on April 28.

Race Director Larry Mays said it's no small thing for the Port Authority to shut down one of the three tubes.
The center and north tubes will not be closed.
"The Port Authority has been gracious enough to do this for us and this year we're going to race $250,000," Mays told WCBS 880 reporter Wayne Cabot.
As always, WCBS 880 is a major sponsor of the race.
