Canadian Legend Car Series Releases its 2022 Event Schedule 

By Jim Clarke, Clarke Motorsports Communications/First Draft Media 

 

The branding may have changed, but the on-track performance remains the same as drivers and teams with the Canadian Legend Car Series get ready to take the green flag for the 2022 season. 

 

Under the direction of Kevin Foisy and Robin Jongen, the former Eastern and Western regional arms of the Ontario Legends Series have banded together to launch a 14-round tour that will include dates on the familiar turf of Peterborough, Sunset, Sauble and Flamboro Speedways.  

 

Again this year, the spotlight events include the 2-day Canadian Legend Car Asphalt Nationals – Saturday and Sunday, September 3rd and 4th – at Sunset Speedway, as well as a return to the 3-day Autumn Colours Classic – October 7th through 9th – at Peterborough. Series spokesperson Kevin Foisy says things are looking strong for the fresh start. 

 

"With our cast of familiar faces and some new teams joining the fold, we're looking forward to kicking-off the new season," explained Foisy. "There are still a few pieces that need to come together to complete the picture, but we're certain that everything will be good to go when the green flag waves to kick off the season. 

 

Foisy – who has earned close to 100 main event checkered flags during his career as a Legends Car chauffeur – say the tour is pleased to continue its strong relationship with Peterborough Speedway who will host a handful of stand-alone dates, as well as the season-ending Autumn Colours Classic. Since the final show of 2021, the Canadian Legend Car dealer support network has seen partners in Gravenhurst, Ontario and Alyesford, Nova Scotia join Foisy's original home base in Clayton, Ontario.

NEW MOTORAMA DATES: APRIL 29, 30 & MAY 1, 2022!

The Motorama Custom Car & Motorsports Expo will take place April 29 - May 1, 2022 at Toronto's International Centre.

NEW MOTORAMA DATES: APRIL 29, 30 & MAY 1, 2022!

 

As you may have heard, we've been able to move the Motorama Custom Car & Motorsports Expo back seven full weeks. This will give ample time for Omicron to subside and for the Province of Ontario to fully reopen from its most recent – and likely final – lockdown period. Motorama will take place April 29, 30 & May 1 at Toronto's International Centre.

 

It's been a very long two weeks years to flatten the curve, but it's looking like the pandemic will soon be largely behind us!

 

Looking ahead, we're extremely excited about this year's show! In the days since we confirmed the date change, the reaction has been amazing! Several exhibitors have reached out to reserve space, including those who had taken a 'wait and see' approach. And individual car owners and clubs have registered many incredible vehicles.

 

If you had booked booth space or your vehicle had been accepted – prior to the date change announcement – you don't need to do anything. You're good to go. We'll be in touch, shortly, with new information regarding move-in dates and times.

 

If you have not yet signed up as an exhibitor or car owner, you should do so ASAP. There is still some space available, but it's clear that the industry and community are eager to get back to Motorama, and the floorplan is filling up quickly. The show is going to be jam-packed with incredible custom cars, hot rods, tuners, classics, exotics, trucks and racing vehicles of all kinds!

 

We have lots of big news set to roll out, so don't miss your opportunity to be part of the only major indoor car / racing show taking place in Ontario in 2022! Call us at (416) 962-7223, email us at info@motoramashow.com and watch for news at www.MotoramaShow.com and on our social media feeds.

 

Thank you for your patience and support… and we'll see you April 29 – May 1 at Toronto's International Centre for the Motorama Custom Car & Motorsports Expo!

Jeremy Kelly Rides a Rocket to the 2021 Peterborough Mini Stock Title

Jeremy Kelly Rides a Rocket to the 2021 Peterborough Mini Stock Title 

By Jim Clarke, Clarke Motorsports Communications/First Draft Media 

 

When the final point standings are calculated at the end of the regular season, pride and bragging rights are the ultimate rewards for a local racer's success. 

 

After claiming back-to-back 4Fun/Bone Stock titles in 2016 and 2017, Jeremy Kelly made the move to the Jiffy Lube Mini Stock ranks to kick-off the 2019 schedule and won rookie of the year that same season. While it took a couple of seasons to adjust to the new division, the 34-year-old filmmaker who lives in downtown Peterborough quickly found his niche and clinched the 2021 track championship – by a scant, 1 point margin over Ryan Oosterholt – with a feature win on the final night of the regular season to seal the deal. Kelly says he still finds spending Saturday nights with his family and friends at the venue known as Canada's Toughest 3rd Mile Oval is still a lot of fun.  

 

"I'm very thankful for the support of my parents Teresa Kelly, Glen Harrington and Blair Kelly. Its also great to race with my teammates including my brother Jake and Johnny Bates," admitted the driver. "I have to thank my girlfriend Jess Weitz for her encouragement, along with J.P., Dave and the team at the track for their hard work at putting everything together so we could be back at the track." 

 

Kelly says he appreciates what he calls the 'Mom n' Pop' sponsors in the community – including Kirk Norris of Desjardins Insurance, Ranger Construction, Impact Communications, Tyler Junkin & TMC Motorsports, Stay Classy Racing, Connelly's Minute Muffler, Parnell Motorsports, Poked by Tony & Mike's Tattoo – that back his No. 80 machine and help him live out his boyhood racing dream. 

 

2021 Jiffy Lube Mini Stock standings (Top 10) 

 

Jeremy Kelly (#80)                  531 

Ryan Oosterholt (#79)            530 

Ember Junkin (#19)                523 

Kevin Strutt (#34)                    491 

Brock Baker (#63B)                481 

Erin Kearns (42X)                   441 

Brad/John Lavalle (#6)           438 

Marilyn Junkin (#61)               403 

Ryan Edwards-Kiss (#20)      378 

Carol Dawson (#38)               352 

 

There really isn't an off-season for hometown racetrack operators. They might take a day off here and there, but as quickly as one year's line-up comes to an end, they start making plans for the next. That's the case for owner/promoter J.P. Josiasse and the management team at Peterborough Speedway. They're looking forward to potentially kicking-off the 2022 schedule on the Victoria Day holiday weekend in May. 

 

"We still have a lot of work to be done before the next green flag but I think we're in a very good place," said Josiasse. "Things should be good to go for the next season. We'll have our regular weekly classes returning and talks are also starting with some of our special guest divisions to find some dates in our 2022 plans." 

 

Keep up to date with details and information for the new season by checking www.peterboroughspeedway.com or visiting the track's Facebook, Twitter and Instagram social media platforms.

The FIA International Court of Appeal is the appeal level of jurisdiction of the FIA and hears appeals of decisions taken by various sporting and disciplinary bodies, such as stewards or the FIA International Tribunal. The FIA International Tribunal and International Court of Appeal act independently from the other FIA bodies and the FIA Members.

 

"Gary Crotty is an outstanding choice for this distinguished position," said Jim France, NASCAR Chairman and CEO. "Gary has served NASCAR with passion and care for more than two decades, and has a well-deserved reputation as a strong voice for fairness and process. We thank the FIA General Assembly for recognizing Gary, and by extension, NASCAR. They have chosen the right person for this honor."

 

Crotty joined NASCAR as Secretary and General Counsel in 1996 and was named to the Board of Directors in 2006. He oversees the company's legal department located in the corporate headquarters in Daytona Beach, Florida. Crotty received his undergraduate degree from Duke University in 1985 and his law degree from the University of Florida in 1988. Upon graduating from Florida he entered private practice specializing in general and commercial law. From 1990-91, he attended New York University, receiving a Master's Degree in taxation law.

 

"I have worked alongside Gary Crotty for more than 20 years, and know him to be an honest and steadfast leader," said George Silbermann, President of the Automobile Competition Committee for the United States (ACCUS), the National Sporting Authority of the FIA for the US. "Gary will use his decades of experience and vast breadth of knowledge in this role. He is fair, thoughtful and possesses a strong passion and knowledge for motorsports."

NASCAR Announces Two Key Competition Personnel Promotions

NASCAR Announces Two Key Competition Personnel Promotions

Brad Moran Named NASCAR Cup Series Managing Director;

Seth Kramlich to Camping World Truck Series Managing Director

 

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Jan. 6, 2022) – NASCAR today announced that Brad Moran has been promoted to NASCAR Cup Series Managing Director and Seth Kramlich will transition to the role of NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Managing Director.

 

Both Moran and Kramlich enter their new positions following years of experience managing racing series at the national level. Most recently, Moran held the position of NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Managing Director. Kramlich moves to his new role after three years as NASCAR Xfinity Series Assistant Director. Moran, Kramlich and NASCAR Xfinity Series Managing Director Wayne Auton will continue to be headquartered at the NASCAR Research & Development Center in Concord, N.C., and report to Scott Miller, Senior Vice President of Competition.

 

"Brad and Seth both share a racer's mentality, and will bring knowledge, passion and strong relationships to these important roles," Miller said. "We look forward to their leadership as they continue to help bring the best racing to our fans at both the NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series levels."

 

With over 30 years of experience in the motorsports industry, Moran joined NASCAR in December 2008 to oversee all of NASCAR's touring series. The Canada native moved to the helm of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series in July of 2016, guiding the series through its first season of the playoff format. Previously, Moran was the Series Director for Canada's NASCAR Pinty's Series for four seasons and was the owner of Barrie (Ont.) Speedway for seven seasons.

 

"The entire competition team is incredibly strong at the NASCAR Cup Series level, and I look forward to helping them grow the series at this exciting time in our sport," Moran said. "As we introduce the Next Gen car and continue to promote the outstanding talent and personalities at NASCAR's top level, I'm honored to help shepherd the series alongside this experienced group of teammates."

 

Kramlich, who joined NASCAR in 2014 after working at Evergreen (Wash.) Speedway, transitions to his new role after being named the Assistant Series Director of the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2019. Prior to that role, he held various positions within NASCAR competition working with key officials in Racing Operations and the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, including under the leadership of four former truck series directors.

 

"My NASCAR roots are with the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, so it is an exciting and rewarding opportunity to return to one of the best series in all of NASCAR," Kramlich said. "The Camping World Truck drivers, teams and fans are incredibly passionate about racing, and I'm honored to be chosen to help guide this great series."

 

Moran joins a strong team in the NASCAR Cup Series garage with Kip Childress as Assistant Series Director and Carl Goodman, who will manage the technical inspections of the Next Gen race car. The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series will see Jesse Dollevoet remain in his role as the Assistant Series Director and Brad Houk continuing in the technical role. Wayne Auton and Eric Peterson will continue to lead the NASCAR Xfinity Series garage.
