Wally Wilson Heads Into 2025 on the Momentum of a Multi-Win Season

Whatever the stage, a weekly short track racer will never forget their first career main event win.
After advancing through the Outlaw Midget ranks, Wally Wilson scored a pair of OSCAAR Modified feature victories during last year's schedule. It may have taken him a while, but the 27-year-old racer from Owen Sound, Ontario is hoping for another strong season when his next campaign takes its first green flag.
"Being able to finally park it in victory lane was a great experience and I'm very thankful to everyone who helped to make it happen," explained Wally Wilson. "The fans, family members and friends who've supported me over the years don't get enough credit for the team's success. It was great to celebrate both victories with so many wonderful people and I can't wait to meet them all in the winner's circle again."
Heading into an ambitious 2025 schedule, Wally Wilson and his team face an itinerary that could see them log as many miles on the provincial highways as their laps on the racetrack. From his Grey Bruce home base, he'll kick-off the year with a Saturday, May 17th date in his No. 69 Mod at Sunset Speedway and follow it up with the Friday, May 23rd season-opener at Delaware Speedway, near London, Ontario. After finishing 4th in last year's standings, Wilson will once again follow the OSCAAR Modified Series events, starting Saturday, May 31st at Flamboro Speedway.
"It looks like our team will be doing a lot of racing this year and it wouldn't be possible without the crew that keeps everything together," said Wally Wilson. "Nate, Paul and I log some long hours in the shop and at the track and I'm thankful to them for all the hard work, time and effort it takes to get the car to the track and make every show."
Wally Wilson and the No. 69 crew would like to thank Fyre Place & Patio Shop, www.have1.com and Napoleon for being part of the team's program heading into the 2025 season. Like most teams on the provincial motorsports landscape, Wally Wilson Racing is actively seeking additional sponsorship support for its efforts. For details and a copy of the team's marketing prospectus, contact wallywilsonracing@gmail.com.
The driver and team welcome your support behind the scenes and at the track. Keep up to date with their performance through the 2025 season at www.facebook.com/wallywilson69.

Comcast Renews Partnership with NASCAR, Extends Xfinity Series Title Sponsorship

 

Comcast Renews Partnership with NASCAR, Extends Xfinity Series Title Sponsorship

 

New "Xfinity Fastest Lap" Feature to Impact Competition Across All Three NASCAR Series

 

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (February 4, 2025) — NASCAR and Comcast today announced the renewal of their decade-long partnership, with Comcast continuing its role as both a Premier Partner of the NASCAR Cup Series and title sponsor of the Xfinity Series. The Comcast and NASCAR relationship began in 2014 and the collaboration between the two companies has significantly contributed to the sport's growth and fan engagement. The Premier Partnership has been renewed for multiple years with the Xfinity Series title sponsorship being extended for one year.

 

New to the sport starting in 2025, race fans can look forward to the "Xfinity Fastest Lap," a program that awards one race point to the eligible driver and owner with the fastest single lap in each race, adding extra intensity and strategy to the competition. This new feature will be part of all three national series — NASCAR Cup Series™, NASCAR Xfinity Series™ and NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series™ — enhancing the competitive landscape and fan experience.

 

"We're not just entering year 11 of our partnership. We're embarking on year one of a renewed relationship with NASCAR filled with fresh energy and exciting opportunities to enhance the competition on the track in a way that has never been done before, and continue to connect with fans in new and engaging ways," said Matt Lederer, Vice President of Brand Partnership & Engagement at Comcast.

 

Comcast is expanding its NASCAR partnership to include more of its connectivity and entertainment brands – Xfinity Mobile and Xumo. Xfinity Mobile is joining the partnership as an Official Wireless Partner of NASCAR. Xumo, Comcast's and Charter's streaming platform joint venture, will become an Official Video and Streaming Partner of NASCAR, with plans to offer its customers immersive viewing experiences and unique content.

 

"NASCAR is incredibly appreciative of Comcast's continued partnership and their commitment to innovation and fan engagement within our sport," said Michelle Byron, Executive Vice President and Chief Partnership and Licensing Officer at NASCAR. "Their contributions over the past decade, from enhancing the fan experience to supporting community initiatives, have been invaluable. We look forward to building on the success of our partnership during the 2025 season and beyond."

 

Comcast's commitment to NASCAR extends beyond the track and is woven into its activations. From the title sponsorship of the Xfinity 500 to the Comcast Community Champion of the Year program, which recognizes individuals within the NASCAR community who demonstrate exceptional dedication to philanthropic endeavors, Comcast has consistently championed the sport and its values. This program underscores Comcast's commitment to social responsibility and its alignment with NASCAR's values of community engagement.

 

This renewed partnership ensures that Comcast and NASCAR will continue to deliver thrilling racing action and engaging fan experiences for years to come.
