Delaware Speedway hosts Maple City Tire 100.

THE MAPLE CITY TIRE 100 DELAWARE SPEEDWAY!

June 14, 2010 (London, Ontario) Delaware Speedway is getting an early jump on Canada Day celebrations with the Maple City Tire 100, Friday June 25th.

 

The night's action will offer twin, green-flag 50-lap NASCAR Late Model races, offering fans an extra helping of Late Model action and giving drivers another opportunity to accumulate points in the NASCAR Whelen All- American Series.

Maple City Tire's owner/operators, Gord and Doug Box, purchased the 25 year old business 9 months ago.  The brothers are long-time race fans and on Friday nights you'll find Gord in the pits at Delaware helping his son Matt, driver of the #27 NASCAR Late Model.  Gord enjoys being hands-on.  "Matt's been driving the number 27 for the past four years. I spot for him. We love it when the fans come down after the race, meet Matt and see the car."

Gord says his brother Doug will get in on the fun on the 25th as well.  "Doug will be handing out trophies to the Late Model winners and doing a T-shirt and cooler bag toss to the fans before the feature races."

The night's itinerary will be as follows:

NASCAR Late Model time trials

Delaware Super Stocks heat races

Powerade Modifieds heat races

NASCAR Late Model 50 lap race #1

Delaware Super Stocks feature race

Powerade Modifieds feature race

NASCAR Late Model 50 lap race #2
