Alex Tagliani driver of the #18 Rona/EpiPen entry will look to add another win here at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park after his first checkered flag came here last year on this weekend.  Tagliani will be busy as he is pulling double duty with his #18 car in the Pinty's Series and the #51 truck in the Gander Outdoor Truck Series.
