FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ACT-030915-14

Waterbury, VT – A joint announcement between the American Canadian Tour (ACT) and the Pro ALL Stars Series (PASS) last November came as great news throughout the short track industry, particularly in the Northeast. Principals Tom Curley (ACT) and Tom Mayberry (PASS) decided that, after a decade of competing against each other in the region, it was time to re-energize the region's full-fendered stock car racing competitors and their fans. They formed a working alliance for the 2015 season.

In a stunning program, they announced an aggressive three-track format, which will host double features for both popular touring divisions at the same race events on three separate occasions throughout the Spring, Summer and Fall of 2015. The opening event will be twin 150 lap events for the ACT teams and PASS teams at the Oxford Plains Speedway (OPS) in Oxford, ME on Saturday, April 18. It is expected that a number of teams will pull double duty and compete in both events.

The summer event will take place at the ACT International 500 weekend onJuly 18/19 at the Airborne Park Speedway in Plattsburgh, NY. Twin 200 lap events for both the PASS teams and ACT teams will make up a two-day event. All qualifying will be done on Saturday night for Sunday's feature events. There will be purse and prize money of more than $100,000.00 up for grabs. The event will include both the US and Quebec ACT teams and will be both a PASS North and PASS National point-counting event. The weekend will also feature the ACT Pro Cam Truck Series in a point-counting event. The Rev Star asphalt Sprint cars will also be featured on Saturday qualifying night.

The final doubleheader of the triple bill program of races will be held at the Autodrome Chaudiere in Vallee-Jct., QC on Saturday, September 12. The racy quarter mile hosts both PASS and ACT events to sellout crowds throughout the season, and the combination event is expected to be the largest event ever held at the facility. Each division will again race 200 laps.

In addition to the three twin bills, a first-ever PASS event will be held Memorial Day weekend at Thunder Road International Speedbowl in Barre, VT, a track co-owned by Curley. A stand-alone event on Saturday, June 27 at Oxford Plains Speedway for the ACT teams has also been put on the 2015 calendar. The agreement between the parties also calls for a no conflict date on the weekend of August 28-30 for the running of the historic Oxford 250. This will free up the weekend for teams and fans of ACT to attend one of the premier short track races of the year to close out the summer season.

"There is just all upside to this deal as far as I can see. Having the two largest and most popular Late Model touring groups working together is great for the race teams, and also for the fans who have supported each group all these years. It should provide better fields of cars, and without a doubt some of the best racing the region has ever seen in these events. I know some teams are planning to compete in both of the twins, and that will add another dimension to the event," said Bruce Bernhardt, owner of 2012 and 2013 ACT Champion Wayne Helliwell, Jr.

OPS has been part of ACT racing since the early 80's. In fact, the ACT organization became the management team at OPS for several years in the early 90s. Curley said, "I think we had some of our very best races at Oxford Plains for a lot of years with these Late Model cars. In fact, during Bill Ryan's tenure, Oxford became the strongest weekly car count track in the ACT overall regional market. Obviously, we are excited about going back in a few weeks. Actually, I am interested in seeing the rivalry between the ACT teams and PASS teams who run against each other in the Super Late Model events. I am sure there will be some PASS teams getting into our momentum ACT Late Models at the doubleheaders. I think Tom and I should have a sizeable bet on some kind of point deal that has the cross over guys from each league pitted against each other during the double features. It should be a fun time for fans and teams in 2015."

The opening of Oxford Plains Speedway on Saturday, April 18 will offer full-fendered race fans twin 150-lap events of action and a new beginning. Post time is 2:00pm. There has been tremendous support from fans and teams for this cooperative effort, and a full field of cars and stars from both leagues should not disappoint.

Tyler Church Bets The House To Take PASS South Opener At Dillon

Tyler Church Bets The House To Take PASS South Opener At Dillon

- For Immediate Release

DILLON, SC (March 7) – Defending Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model Champion Tyler Church took the lead from Jody Measamer with 23 laps to go and withstood a late-race restart to win the 10^th Annual South Carolina Clash 125 Saturday night at Dillon Motor Speedway. Earlier in the day, Church revealed that anything less than a win could prove to be a premature ending to the 2015 season for the family financed team.

"That was a wild race, that was tough," said an emotional Church in victory lane. "We borrowed money against the house just so we could be here to race…and I'm going racing again. On that last restart I didn't want to let up until I got back up front and, dadgum, we've come this far and I was going to win this race."

In qualifying, last year's championship runner-up, Cole Timm, captured his first career PASS South quick qualifying time with a lap of 90.766 miles per hour around the egg-shaped, 4/10 mile speedway. After the top 10 qualifiers redraw, Tate Fogleman and Roger Lee Newton moved up to the front row, while Timm would slot back in the fourth starting position.

On a relatively mild late Winter afternoon, Fogleman quickly jumped in the lead position, a spot he would not soon relinquish. While Fogleman paced the field, drivers were implementing varying strategies. Jody Measmaer and Jimmy Doyle made their way up to second and third respectively, while drivers like Zane Smith and Matt Craig dropped out of the top ten in an effort to conserve their tires.

Fogleman dominated the first half of the event in one of his strongest PASS South Super Late Model performances thus far, but was overtaken by Measamer for the lead with 41 laps to go. Doyle's strong run ended 10 laps later when he pushed up into the wall exiting turn four while battling Joey Doiron for the fifth position.

All the while, Church was closing in on the leaders, first moving by Fogleman to take second, and then bypassing Measamer for the lead on lap 102. The first caution of the race would not wave until there were 18 laps to go when the machine of Kevin Floars spun exiting turn two.

Church would continue to lead when the race resumed, but the most heated battle on the speedway was for third between Fogleman and Timm. The two young drivers went back and forth for the position over several laps, making contact in turn two and then again on the back straight away. As Fogleman retook third, the two cars made contact sending Fogleman hard into the inside wall on the front stretch with nine laps to go.

Church and Measamer led the field back to green on the restart, with Trevor Noles making an aggressive three wide move for the lead entering turn one. Church powered into the lead from the middle groove, while Noles moved to second and Measamer slipped back through traffic.

Church led the rest of the way to take his first win since last May at Ace Speedway over Noles, Zane Smith, Doiron, and Measamer. Rounding out the top ten were Craig, Ryan Hall, Timm, Hal Goodson, and Newton.

Kodie Conner proved to be the picture of perseverance, bouncing back from two blown motors over the weekend, taking the lead from Chandler Smith with nine laps to go for his sixth career PASS Pro Late Model win.

"We lost a motor yesterday in practice after only 8 laps and went back home and stayed up until 4 AM putting another motor in," said Conner after his first Dillon victory. "We just got an hour and a half of sleep and I've got to thank my dad and all our guys for staying up all night and working on this Tiger 45."

The only incident of the race occurred on lap 41 when the second and third place machines of Zachary Dabbs and Austin Thompson made contact exiting turn two and both spun.

Following Conner and Smith to the checkered flag were Wesley Noles, Ryan Krachun, and Logan Jones.

Chase Purdy prevailed in a hearty race long battle for the lead to take the Legends car win over Ryan Millington, Devin O'Connell, Dillon Spain, and Will Bristle.

Sean Gartner came home with the win in the Challenger division.

The PASS South Super Late Models will be in action again in the first PASS National Championship Series event of the season on Saturday, March 21^st at Anderson Motor Speedway for the Peach Blossom Special. The PASS Pro Late Models will also be in action along with the USAC Eastern Midgets and Legends.

Les mini-mods seront aussi de la partie lors du dernier évènement de l'année.

Enfin, notre classique enduro subit une cure de rajeunissement avec un 2 x 100 tours pour ses bolides d'endurance ! Et si les ajustements et la débrouillardise pouvaient amener les équipes d'enduro plus loin ?

Mais avant de passer au dessert, entamons l'entrée ! On vous attend fervents pilotes pour la pratique du 2 mai et fidèles amateurs de terre battue le 22 mai prochain !

C'est ainsi que décolle la saison 2015 !

The Family that Plays Together…at Peterborough Speedway

By Jim Clarke, Clarke Motorsports Communications/First Draft Media

In most sports, they say you can't tell the players without a program. Mention the name 'Junkin' during role call at a Peterborough Speedway driver's meeting and you'll immediately see 3 hands in the air.

Campaigning a 3 car team at a venue known as Canada's Toughest 3^rd of a Mile Paved Oval would be considered by some to be an arduous task, but for Tyler Junkin, his family and friends doing just that has become a way of life. The 29 year old from Ennismore, Ontario not only looks after his own equipment – the #41 Mini Stock that finished 3^rd in the 2014 point standings – he also takes care of the machines run by his sister Ember and his mother Marilyn in the Mini Stock and 4Fun divisions at Peterborough Speedway. Junkin says he enjoys the challenge that comes with building the cars and making them fast.

"Racing has always been a results driven sport," said Junkin. "Having any of our teams – whether my car, Mom's or Ember's – run well is very rewarding. It makes the effort we put into getting everything to the track everySaturday night very satisfying."

Based on his career statistics – including the 2010 Autumn Colours championship and second place finishes in 2011, 2013 and 2014 – Tyler Junkin's car is the lead piece in the TMC Motorsports stable, but that doesn't mean he gets preferential treatment leading into weekly action on the tight, tricky bullring on Mount Pleasant Road, west of the Liftlock City. Ember Junkin finished 14^th in Mini Stock points while running a limited schedule and Marilyn Junkin – affectionately known as 'Mama' – was 4^th in last year's 4Fun standings and 13^th in the 2013 Mini Stock chase.

"If we race it, we've built it," said Tyler Junkin. "The 3 cars that we bring to the track every weekend were all built in our shop from the ground up. Chassis, engines and every other component. If it breaks, we fix it. Nothing can replace the value of hard work. Sometimes, a strong run is more satisfying than a main event win, because of the effort it took to get the car to the track. It's the same with my endurance car and with the Renegade Truck we ran a couple of years back."

Almost in unison, Tyler, Ember and Marilyn Junkin say that they look forward to their time at the racetrack and being around the friends they've made over the years; but the trio is also concerned that sometimes egos get in the way of what should be a fun time for everyone. Ember Junkin says it's unfortunate that when beating another becomes more important than enjoying yourself.

"When I raced 4Fun, we were like a big family," said the 24 year old who works as a residential painter. "We said 'sorry' when we hit someone on the track or helped them pull out a dent. A victory celebration was something that everyone shared and made us all happy. Now, it's almost like there's a million bucks on the line. That's not racing. It's being petty."

Fans can get details on this year's full calendar when Peterborough Speedway participates in the first ever Canadian International Motorama Custom Car and Motorsports Expo – Friday, Saturday and Sunday, March 13^thto 15^th – at the International Centre in Toronto. There will also be pre-season displays April 10^th, 11^th and 12^th at the 37^th annual Kawartha Home, Cottage and Country Show at the Evinrude Centre in Peterborough and April 12^ththrough 18^th at the Lindsay Square Shopping Mall.

TORONTO, ON // MARCH 5, 2015 • In the first deal of its kind for the Motorama Custom Car & Motorsports Expo, Havoline has been named the 'Official Motor Oil of Motorama' for the 2015 show.

"We're very happy to be a part of the Motorama show this year, and I hope that this venture will turn into a long-term partnership between Chevron Canada and Motorama," said Rob Chamberland, Canada East Area Business Manager for Chevron Canada Limited.

At this year's Motorama show, Chevron Canada will supply 100 cases of Havoline motor oil – equating to 1200 quarts of oil. The product will be awarded to the championship-winning drivers who are honoured during the Drag Racing and Short Track Nights of Champions, at the show.

The Motorama Custom Car & Motorsports Expo runs March 13, 14 & 15 at Toronto's International Centre, across from Toronto's Pearson International Airport.

The Drag Racing Night of Champions takes place the evening of Friday, March 13, while the Stock Car Night of Champions will take to the Johnsonville Stage on the night of Saturday, March 14.

The recipients will be awarded enough Havoline motor oil to be able to do a full oil change in their vehicles. The winners will have the choice between Havoline Full Synthetic and the company's conventional Havoline motor oil. Chevron Canada Limited marketing personnel will also be on hand to distribute Havoline swag, including branded hats, work gloves, flashlights, water bottles, collapsible cargo bags, Mag-Lite flashlights and pens to show visitors.

Mr. Chamberland views the Motorama Custom Car & Motorsports Expo as the ideal platform to reinforce the position of Chevron Canada and Havoline products in the motoring marketplace.

"Havoline products have been available for well over 100 years. It's a very well-known and respected name among automotive enthusiasts," he noted. "We offer super high quality products made and warranted by Chevron. Our presence at the Motorama show will allow us to connect with customers and get them to think about and consider the Havoline brand for their personal or business needs."

Speaking on behalf of Motorama, David Weber said, "We're extremely happy to welcome Havoline as the 'Official Motor Oil of Motorama.' Chevron Canada Limited has stepped up to support Motorama in several ways, including becoming a Show Sponsor, awarding a total of 1200 quarts of oil to the drag racing and short track champions who will be honoured at the show, and distributing a bunch of neat items that racers and auto enthusiasts will appreciate receiving."

Headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Chevron Canada Limited (Products Division) (CCL) is a multi-faceted company with an efficient refinery, outstanding retail network and extensive commercial and industrial operations.

Champion to Rookie: Bresette Makes Big Jump at Airborne Park Speedway

Champion to Rookie: Bresette Makes Big Jump at Airborne Park Speedway

Keeseville racer leaps from Mini-Mod title to run for NASCAR Modified rookie honors

For Immediate Release APS-030615-1

PLATTSBURGH, NY – Steven Bresette had nothing left to prove in the Busch Beer Mini-Modified class at Airborne Park Speedway, but that won't be the case this year. Riding the momentum of winning his first track championship, the Keeseville, NY stock car driver is making a big transition from the entry-level cars into the J&S Steel Modifieds – the top division for the Plattsburgh oval.

The FedEx Ground 100 season opener will be Bresette's first test on Saturday, May 2. He is the latest addition to a talented freshman crop and is also eligible for state and national rookie honors in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series, which sanctions racing at 60 tracks across North America including Airborne.

Moving up isn't necessarily uncharted ground – Bresette previously ran two seasons in the former Limited Late Model division – but making the leap to the open-wheel J&S Steel Modifieds will pit him against the toughest and most experienced racers at Airborne.

"It's all about learning and gaining some seat time this year. Hopefully my team and I will have some fun and have a good year," an optimistic Bresette said. "I've had this car for two years and I've been tinkering on it the whole time getting ready."

He has received advice – and some extra motivation – from reigning Modified champion Nick Heywood and multi-time race winner Jason Durgan. Each was honored for their 2014 accomplishments at the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series awards gala at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, NC in December.

"If I can finish in the top 10 in points and maybe get a podium finish in a race by the end of the year that would be awesome," Bresette said. "I'd like to be in the hunt for the rookie titles, too. Being invited to the NASCAR banquet in Charlotte would be incredible."

Bresette is sponsored by Delcon & Improvement, a home construction business that he co-owns in Keeseville, and he is hopeful to add more partners as the season approaches. He is part of a four-car family team at Airborne, joining Speedy Bresette in the Modified division and Mini-Modified racers Eddie Bresette and J.M. Bresette; Speedy and J.M. are also former Airborne champions. Friends Josh Nolan and Todd King are also part of the team, along with Steven's wife Talitha and their children, and his father Joey.

Airborne Park Speedway's 62^nd season of stock car racing opens on Saturday, May 2. Airborne is located on Broderick Road in South Plattsburgh, NY, one mile from Exit 36 on the Interstate 87 Northway. For more information, call (518) 647-4444 or visit www.AirborneParkSpeedway.com. Airborne Park Speedway is on Facebook at Facebook.com/AirborneParkSpeedway and on Twitter at @AirborneSpeed.

Un avenir prometteur pour l’Autodrome Chaudière

Communiqué pour diffusion immédiate

Le 05 mars 2015

Un avenir prometteur pour l'Autodrome Chaudière

M. Dany Lagacé et M. Kevin Roberge, propriétaires actuels de l'Autodrome Chaudière, sont fiers de vous annoncer que des modifications importantes ont été apportées dans l'organigramme de l'Autodrome Chaudière.

M. Yves Pelchat tient à remercier Dany Lagacé et Kevin Roberge ainsi qu'André Poulin pour la confiance et l'opportunité d'affaires. « Je suis convaincu qu'on va faire une équipe performante et que nous sommes promus à un bel avenir.

D'autres annonces sont à venir dans les prochaines semaines, dont une majeure au courant de la semaine prochaine concernant un ajout à la programmation de l'Autodrome Chaudière pour 2015.

M. Sylvain Lord, promoteur du DMCC, voit d'un très bon œil la venue de la nouvelle équipe pour le sport motorisé au Québec.

Les propriétaires, les pilotes et les spectateurs peuvent respirer; avec cette entente, la région de Québec s'assure de la stabilité du stock car ainsi que la survie des classes locales et des Séries au Québec.

NASCAR Statement

NASCAR Statement

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (March 5, 2015) – "NASCAR is aware of the Delaware Department of Justice announcement today regarding driver Kurt Busch. As we disclosed Monday, he has accepted the terms and conditions of a reinstatement program and is actively participating in the program. Kurt Busch's eligibility for reinstatement will continue to be governed by that program and the NASCAR Rule Book, though the elimination of the possibility of criminal charges certainly removes a significant impediment to his reinstatement."
