East meets west as the Trailers Plus Eastern Ontario Legends Series goes head-to-head against its western counterparts – Saturday and Sunday, September 9th and 10th – for the Fall Classic at Grand Bend Speedway.

 

After a spring and summer of turning fans onto its exciting brand of motorsports entertainment, EOLS officials and teams are looking forward to being part of the first ever points-paying event for a travelling series to be staged at the Western Ontario facility. Jeff Drimmie – speaking on behalf of the Eastern Ontario Legends Series group that also includes Andrew McFadden, Geordie Ledson and Kevin Foisy – says it promises to be an popular weekend.

 

"The Saturday event at the oval will offer points and bragging rights for drivers following both the Eastern and Western Series tours," Drimmie stated. "Sunday will be a non-points event on the road course that will also serve a test session to look at the possibility of adding something different to the schedule for the 2018 campaign."

 

In the Eastern Division standings, Matt Haufe looks to have a lock on the 2017 championship, as the Stittsville, Ontario standout holds a comfortable cushion of almost 183 points over second place running Adam Cuthbertson. Wes Cuthbertson is 3rd in the standings, less than 70 points behind his brother. Robin Jongen has taken checkered flags on both the Western and Eastern Series tours. He took the win Saturday, July 15th at Sauble and Saturday, August 5th in the National Qualifier at Sunset Speedway.

 

Grand Bend Speedway is a ¼ mile stock car oval. Full details about the track and a schedule of events for the Fall Classic Weekend – Saturday and Sunday, September 9th and 10th – can be found by visitingwww.grandbendspeedway.com.
