DELAWARE SPEEDWAY: Fan Appreciation Night with $10 Admission & MAYBE Free Hotdogs For Everyone
August 5, 2015
Delaware Speedway PR
View release online: https://delawarespeedway.com/?p=14964
The closest Delaware Speedway has ever gotten to handing out free food to the whole grandstand was a couple seasons ago when a racer stole a microphone from one of the track announcers and proudly proclaimed "FREE HOTDOGS FOR ALL". That trick did not work at the time but this Friday fans will finally have their chance at the legendary free hot dog deal.
If 2,000 spectators show up on Friday night to "Pack the Track" Fan Appreciation Delaware Speedway will be giving every spectator with an admission ticket a free hotdog.
"The moment there are 2,000 spectators in the venue we will sound the horn," explained track PR director John Houghton. "The horn will let the whole grandstand know that free hotdog time has come".
Fans have good reason to show up and support their home track on Friday. In addition to the possibility of free hotdogs, fan appreciation night will also feature cheap admission ($10 taxes included) as well as a driver meet and greet session for fans to meet the drivers and get an up close look at their cars.
The evening is also Del-Ko-Brydge community appreciation night. Residents of the track's neighbouring communities of Delaware, Komoka, & Mt. Brydges will enter completely free of charge with photo ID indicating they are from one of the surrounding towns.
In addition to the solid racing line up of Super Stocks and Trucks the night will also showcase King of the Hill Spectators Racing: a chance for spectators to enter their street-legal street-driver car in a one-on-one-fun drag race around the historic half-mile in support of Jesse's Journey.
So for anyone who has been putting off a trip to Delaware Speedway for "next week" or "later this summer", this Friday is the night to make the move. As at every event in 2015: kids age 12 and under enter free of charge.

AUTODROME DRUMMOND: LE CONCOURS D'ARRÊT AUX PUITS
À ne pas manquer ce samedi 8 août : le concours d'arrêt aux puits. Et l'entrée est gratuite pour les résidents des municipalités rurales du Québec et les villages.
Le désastre de dame nature de samedi passé étant à oublier, quoi de mieux pour passer par-dessus cette journée du 1er août qu'un 75 tours Modifié avec en prime le fameux concours d'arrêt au puits!
Modifiés
Toujours impressionnant de voir les équipes en action lors de cette course contre la montre qu'est le concours d'arrêt aux puits. On peut enfin observer ce qui se fait dans les puits lorsqu'une voiture a, par exemple, une crevaison en piste. La vitesse d'exécution de certains est hallucinante. L'équipe de Sébastien « Spider » Gougeon, gagnant de l'an passé saura–t–elle garder ce titre?
Un 75 tours attend les Modifiés ce samedi. Ce nombre de tours de piste donne à chaque fois un spectacle surprenant : il combine vitesse et endurance. Il donne aussi la chance à de nombreux pilotes de faire d'exceptionnelles remontées. David Hébert, Mario Clair, Steve Bernard et Yan Bussière sont du nombre de ces pilotes capables de se faufiler autant dans les positions de tête que dans les retardataires. L'action ne manquera pas!
Sportsman
Avec un fonds de points inchangé depuis le 25 juillet, c'est un Mathieu Desjardins trônant au sommet des points qui continuera sa formidable performance de cette saison. Prêt à graduer en Modifié si le budget le permet, il démontre encore cette année que la catégorie Sportsman n'a plus de secrets pour lui.
Lightning Sprint
Les fringants Lightning Sprint auront également de l'énergie à revendre, eux qui ont aussi vu leur dernier programme annulé pour cause de pluie à Drummond. Éric Sundborg a 3 rivaux à éclipser pour atteindre le sommet du fonds de points, mais… quels rivaux! Le tenace Guillaume Neiderer, le fougueux Jordan Poirier et l'intrépide Alex Therrien. À noter le retour de Mathieu Bardier pour quelques courses cette saison au volant du bolide # 6. Bardier est un pilote de talent qui est nouvellement en piste avec les Sportsman dans la voiture #12.
L'Autodrome Drummond, la F1 de la terre battue

ACT Tour Title Tilt Continues at Historically Wide-Open Beech Ridge
ACT Tour Title Tilt Continues at Historically Wide-Open Beech Ridge
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ACT080515-97
<<ATTATCHED PHOTO (IMG_5823rs.jpg): Former Beech Ridge Motor Speedway Champion Brad Babb (#15NH) is looking for his first ACT Tour win at his home track, while Barre, VT's Nick Sweet (#40VT) will try to become ACT's first multi-time winner at the speedway. (T.J. Ingerson/vtmotormag.com/photo)>>
Waterbury, VT – The American-Canadian Tour (ACT) continues its Maine swing this Saturday, August 8 with their annual trip to Scarborough's Beech Ridge Motor Speedway. The eight previous ACT Tour events at the 1/3-mile oval have seen eight different winners, leaving this year's Beech Ridge 150 up for grabs.
Former Beech Ridge Pro Series Champion Brad Babb of Windham, ME will try to become the ninth different winner. Babb was fighting for the victory in the Oxford Plains 150 with Hudson, NH's Joey Polewarczyk Jr. two weeks ago when the two made contact with four laps remaining; Babb eventually spun and was relegated to an 11th-place finish while "Joey Pole" went on to his fourth win of the season.
"After the way we ran at Oxford, I'm really looking forward to Beech Ridge," Babb said. "If we can run that well again, I really think we can come away with a win. Obviously I feel like I got the short end of the stick on the deal at Oxford, but I'm not going to worry about it. I'm just going to race like nothing happened and we'll see what happens when we get there."
Last year's Beech Ridge event marked Babb's ACT Tour debut with the Joey Laquerre–owned #15NH team. What began as a series of one-off races eventually turned into a full-time partnership which Babb describes as "incredible" and currently has them sitting third in points.
Joey Pole's win at Oxford leapfrogged him back ahead of Dover, NH's Wayne Helliwell Jr. in the 2015 championship chase. Pole has a seven-point edge going into Beech Ridge with the lead already having changed hands four times.
Both Pole and Barre, VT's Nick Sweet will try to become the first multi-time ACT winner at Beech Ridge. Sweet is the defending winner of the Beech Ridge 150, while Pole captured the 2010 event and is ACT's all-time leading money winner at the speedway. Helliwell is still seeking his first Beech Ridge victory.
The race behind the two leaders is even tighter following Oxford, with 16 points separating third-place Babb from seventh-place Sweet. Mainers Travis Stearns and Jeff White sit fourth and fifth in the standings will try to keep the first-place trophy in their home state.
East Montpelier, VT's Emily Packard finished fourth and sixth in the two Oxford events and looks to carry her Maine performance down-state. Fellow Vermonter Jimmy Hebert aims to continue his late-summer turnaround. Defending Beech Ridge Pro Series Champion Dave Farrington Jr. has also entered the event.
The ACT Tour Beech Ridge 150 is this Saturday, August 8 at Scarborough, ME's Beech Ridge Motor Speedway. Post time is 7:00pmwith the pit gates opening at 2:00pm and the front gates at 3:00pm. Beech Ridge's weekly Pro Series, Sport Series, and Wildcats will also be in action. Admission is $20 for adults and free for kids 12 and under.

Série Sportsman Québec: Discipline et patience seront de mise
Communiqué pour diffusion immédiate
Le 05 août 2015, Québec
Discipline et patience seront de mise
C'est ce samedi, 8 août qu'aura lieu le 7e programme de la saison de la Série Sportsman Qc Lucas Oil à l'Autodrome Montmagny.
Pour ce programme, 16 voitures Sportsman seront présentes. Avec les meneurs au classement général, on peut s'attendre à de chaudes luttes pour gagner quelques points.
Dominic Jacques prend de l'avance
Le #67 Dominic Jacques, qui rappelons-le est monté à deux reprises sur le podium le weekend dernier remportant ainsi le combiné des deux finales ce qui lui donne une avance de 14 points sur le #17 Jimmy Nadeau. Un weekend de réussite pour le pilote qui a accompli un nouveau record de piste sur le circuit routier de Trois-Rivières; un 3e record pour cette saison pour Jacques. Lui qui, lors du premier programme de la saison, a battu le record de piste à Montmagny sera-t-il être aussi performant?
Le #07 Jonathan Côté en sera à son 3e programme cette saison avec la Série Sportsman Qc. Lors de sa première présence à l'Autodrome Montmagny il avait réalisé une très belle performance obtenant une 5e position au final. On a pu retrouver en piste un pilote toujours aussi combatif, mais plus patient ce qui lui servira certainement. Pour les fans de la Série Sportsman Qc, c'est une plaisir de retrouver un pilote de la trempe de Côté.
Avec l'absence du #8 Yves Pelchat ce weekend, le #13 Michael Tremblay prendra surement la 2e place au classement des recrues. On peut constater de programme en programme l'amélioration du pilote qui prend de l'aisance avec sa voiture.
Toujours en tête du championnat des recrues, le #95 Mickaël Isabelle détient 17 points d'avance. Déjà en début de saison, on a pu constater le talent inné de ce jeune pilote qui suit avec brio les traces de son parrain, Steve Lesage. Il sera sans aucun doute être une excellente relève pour la Série Sportsman Qc dans les prochaines années.
Espérons que les pilotes seront être aussi disciplinés que lors du programme du weekend dernier au GP3R et présenter aux spectateurs présents un programme à la hauteur du talent qu'on retrouve dans cette série. Chose certaine, les pilotes en tête du classement n'ont pas dit leur dernier mot. Que nous réserve Jimmy Nadeau, Rejean Blanchet, Philippe Poulin ou bien Pier-Luc Labbé; eux qui occupent actuellement le top 5 du classement général derrière Dominic Jacques?
Pour le savoir, rendez-vous ce samedi à l'Autodrome Montmagny où les Sportsman Qc accompagneront la classe élite PASS dont plusieurs Québécois ont déjà confirmé leurs présences !

Brandt Graham is Ready for a Peterborough Speedway Homecoming
Brandt Graham is Ready for a Peterborough Speedway Homecoming
By Jim Clarke, Clarke Motorsports Communications/First Draft Media
Today's new generation of racing talent can develop their skills through a variety of different methods. Orono, Ontario teenager Brandt Graham practiced his craft in a Mini Stock at Peterborough Speedway before making his debut in the Lucas Oil Sportsman Cup Series at the start of the 2015 season.
Even though he'll be returning to high school in another month, the 17 year old driver of the #14 Dodge – who is one of the leading contenders for the tour's rookie of the year award – says he's having a great time visiting some different race tracks and making some new friends along the way.
"We've had some ups and downs, but overall it's been a great season so far," said the talented youngster. "This car is bigger, heavier and faster than anything I've driven before, but the learning curve hasn't been too steep. I'm fortunate to have a very supportive team of family and friends to help me along the way. That has helped me keep everything in perspective."
In a season plagued by inclement weather, Brandt Graham currently sits 6th in the overall Lucas Oil Sportsman Cup Series standings, with a season best 5th place finish in 4 starts. This weekend, the second generation speedster will tackle some familiar turf when the tour stops at Peterborough Speedway – Saturday, August 8th – for the Breast Cancer Society 100. Graham says he's looking forward to making a half hour trek to the track for an event.
"Many of the races we run are at least a couple of hours away, so it's great to have a show that's so close to our home base," said the driver. "It'll be a great opportunity to have some of my friends and sponsors be able to make the trip and see me race."
Graham Racing is sponsored by Arcade Pools, Full Circle Automation Inc., J&M Restoration and Collision, Autocare, Hot Rod Swag and Squirrel Head Music. Paint scheme and design work for the team's 2015 efforts are by Mayhew Graphics, with team media and public relations by Clarke Motorsports Communications.
Fans can follow the team on the track and behind the scenes throughout the season by liking the 'Graham Racing' page at www.facebook.com.
