12-Race Slate Includes Companion Weekend With NASCAR Camping World Truck Series

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Dec. 8, 2012) – NASCAR announced today the 2013 schedule Canada’s premier racing series, the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1.

“The NASCAR Canadian Tire Series features the top drivers in the country competing on Canada's finest stock-car racing circuits,” said George Silbermann, NASCAR vice president, regional and touring series. “With a challenging mixture of ovals and road courses, and a new high-profile companion event at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, the 2013 calendar will continue to bring excitement to race fans from coast to coast.”

The series will kick off the season on Victoria Day weekend (May 19) on the 2.459-mile, 10-turn road course at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park near Bowmanville, Ont.

It will make a return visit to the track’s road course on Labour Day weekend (Sept. 1) when the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series makes its Canadian debut at the historic venue, which has undergone extensive renovations that last two years under new ownership.

For the first time since the 2010 season, the Canadian Tire Series returns to the .4-mile oval at Autodrome St. Eustache (Que.) on July 27.

The annual trek to the Nova Scotia’s Riverside International Speedway moves from mid-September to Aug. 17 and it follows the Aug. 11 date for the Grand Prix de Trois-Rivieres (Que.) – the always popular road-course event.

The annual swing through Western Canada includes stops at Motoplex Speedway in Vernon, B.C., and Auto Clearing Motor Speedway in Saskatoon, Sask., on July 13 and July 17, respectively.

The series will visit the challenging 2.113-mile airport road course of Mirabel, Quebec’s Circuit ICAR on July 7.

Exciting short-track races at Delaware (Ont.) Speedway on June 15, the Speedway at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park on June 22 and a Sept. 7 date at Barrie (Ont.) Speedway highlight the schedule, as well.

ARCA Announces 10-Race SPEED Television Schedule for 2013 Season

For Immediate Release:

Thursday, December 6, 2012

(INDIANAPOLIS) - Officials from ARCA and FOX Sports Media Group jointly announced at the International Motorsports Industry Show the 2013 television schedule for the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards, comprised of 10 events to be televised live or on a same-day delay on SPEED.

The 2013 ARCA television schedule will open on SPEED on Saturday, February 16. Live flag-to-flag coverage of ARCA's 50th consecutive annual event at the world-renowned Daytona International Speedway will begin at 4:30 p.m.

Other events scheduled for live and/or same-day SPEED coverage in 2013 include races at Talladega Superspeedway on May 3; Toledo Speedway on May 19;Pocono Raceway on June 8 and August 2; Michigan International Speedway on June 14; Chicagoland Speedway on July 21; Iowa Speedway on September 7; Kentucky Speedway on September 20; and the season finale at Kansas Speedway on October 4.

ARCA's relationship with SPEED reaches back to April 20, 1997, when the network (then Speedvision) covered the ARCA Racing Series race at Indiana's Salem Speedway. Since then, SPEED has aired 198 ARCA Racing Series events.

Year-over-year broadcast ratings spiked in 2012, highlighted by substantial improvements in key demographics. The full season of the ARCA Racing Series finished up +22 percent with households (0.44 vs. 0.36), one tenth or +31 percent with males 35-54 (0.42 vs. 0.32), and +50 percent with males 18-49 (0.24 vs. 0.16) from 2011.

Sweetening the solid story with males 18-49, nine out of 10 races were up year-to-year during the season. Additionally, this was the second most-watched season of ARCA in terms of total viewers since SPEED began subscribing to ratings in 2002 (P2+ impressions), averaging 464,000 viewers for the season; the most-watched season was in 2010 with 608,000 viewers, featuring Danica Patrick's stock car debut). Excluding the February Daytona race, which was down year-over-year, it was the most-watched season of ARCA on SPEED since the network began subscribing to ratings in 2002 with 363,000 total viewers.

The ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards has crowned 30 ARCA national champions in 60 seasons since 1953, and has toured over 200 race tracks in 26 states since its inception. The series has tested the abilities of drivers and race teams over the most diverse schedule of stock car racing events in the world, visiting tracks ranging from 0.375 mile to 2.66 miles in length, on both paved and dirt surfaces as well as a left- and right-turn road course in its most recent season.

Founded by John and Mildred Marcum in 1953 in Toledo, Ohio, the Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) is recognized among the leading sanctioning bodies in the country. Having completed its sixth decade after hundreds of thousands of miles of racing, ARCA administers over 100 race events each season in four professional touring series - the ARCA Racing Series, the ARCA CRA Super Series, the ARCA Truck Series, and new in 2013, the ARCA Midwest Tour - in addition to local weekly events at Ohio's Toledo Speedway and Michigan's Flat Rock Speedway.

Saturday's Banquet to Recognize Champions from Four ARCA Touring Series

For Immediate Release:

Wednesday, December 5, 2012

(TOLEDO, Ohio) - For the first time, the champions of the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards, the ARCA CRA Super Series, the ARCA Truck Series, and ARCA's newest partner, the Midwest Tour, will accept recognition for their 2012 accomplishments at one event.

Chris Buescher, Johnny VanDoorn, Levi Mansfield, and Jonathan Eilen will all be on hand at Saturday's ARCA Racing Series Championship Awards Banquet at the Indiana Convention Center in downtown Indianapolis. Traditionally, the event honors the ARCA Racing Series champion - Buescher - but new relationships with the Super Series and Midwest Tour in the last 18 months have created a unique opportunity to celebrate the best from each of ARCA's divisions.

Buescher, 19 and of Prosper, Texas, won four races and the ARCA Racing Series championship for Roulo Brothers Racing in 2012. The title is the first for both.

VanDoorn, 24 and of Coopersville, Mich., is now a three-time ARCA CRA Super Series champion and won the 2012 title for Kaos Motorsports.

Mansfield, 26 and of Oakwood, Ohio, won his first ARCA Truck Series championship in 2012 while driving for Kirsch Motorsports.

Eilen, 27 and of Hampton, Minn., won the 2012 Midwest Tour championship five years after becoming the series' first race winner. The Midwest Tour connection to ARCA is new this fall, and the 2013 season will be the first in competition for the ARCA Midwest Tour.

25-year-old Dakota Carlson of Cedar Springs, Mich. won the ARCA Gold Cup Series championship, but will not attend the Championship Awards Banquet.

The four honored drivers are joining a long list of other top ARCA competitors and special award winners at Saturday's event. Those individuals, teams, and key ARCA figures will be honored throughout the night in a celebration featuring a look back at ARCA's first 60 years, vibrant video presentations, and speeches from ARCA's 2012 newsmakers.

CHARLOTTE, NC (December 5) – Pro All Stars Series (PASS) officials released the 2013 schedule today for the newly enhanced PASS Pro Late Model division. The PASS Pro Late Models will compete throughout the Southeast, with at least 10 events in conjunction with the PASS South Super Late Models. After a successful 2012 season which saw the division start out competing under the Super Limited banner, the newly rebranded Pro Late Models will race in 2013 as a fully fledged PASS sanctioned division.

“I think we have put together a really great schedule of events for the first full season of the PASS Pro Late Model division,” said PASS President Tom Mayberry. “The PASS Pro Late Model division is really unique in the short track racing world and we feel like this is a great place for young talent to hone their skills. Having the majority of these PASS Pro Late Model events scheduled with the PASS South Super Late Models will provide a great weekend of racing for our fans.”

The PASS Pro Late Models will begin the 2013 season as part of the 8th Annual South Carolina Clash weekend at Dillon Motor Speedway on March 9th. It will be the first of five PASS Pro Late Model events scheduled at Ron Barfield’s tricky 4/10 mile oval.

The PASS Pro Late Models will continue to employ a variety of chassis and engine combinations to allow racers an affordable way to compete in a touring division. PASS Pro Late Models are open to both perimeter and straight rail chassis, with engine and weight rules aimed at making both types of chassis competitive. Also in an effort to keep costs down, racers will race on a restricted tire rule. All of the factors help make the PASS Pro Late Models one of the most unique divisions in all of short track racing.

The Pro All Stars Series is recognized as the nation’s premier sanctioning body for asphalt Super Late Models with events throughout the United States and Canada.

USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park to Welcome ARCA Fans, Drivers Before Mobile Race in March

For Immediate Release:

Tuesday, December 4, 2012

(MOBILE, Ala.) - Officials from Mobile International Speedway, in conjunction with the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards, announced today that the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park will welcome aboard ARCA fans, drivers, and teams on Thursday, March 7, just days before the Mobile ARCA 200.

Fans of all ages will have the opportunity to see ARCA cars and haulers up close, along with live pit stop demonstrations and a driver autograph session. The autograph session will take place inside the Aircraft Pavilion, which fans can access at no charge.

"We are excited about having the horsepower of the ARCA teams and fans at Battleship Park," said Bill Tunnel, executive director of USS Alabama Battleship Park. "Starting the Mobile ARCA 200 weekend here is another example of the Park's ability to be a multi-faceted entertainment and tourist destination."

Mobile drew ARCA fans and teams to Mobile for the series' first race at the track in 2012, and found much more.

"At the inaugural Mobile ARCA 200 in 2012, our fans, teams, and officials were highly impressed with everything the Mobile area has to offer," said Ron Drager, president and CEO of ARCA. "Bringing our race cars, transporters, and drivers to USS Alabama Battleship Park to kick off the second annual race weekend is a great opportunity to grow the stature of the event as well as pay tribute to the highly respected veterans of our U.S. Armed Forces."

The ARCA haulers will cast off from the Battleship in a hauler parade to Mobile International Speedway to prepare for Friday's on-track activity. The hauler parade will mark the beginning of the Causeway Seafood Jubilee as ARCA fans, teams, and drivers will enjoy the great seafood offered by restaurants on the Causeway.

For the late night crowd, the Home Mortgage of America Green Flag Party will be wide open from 8 p.m. until closing at Grand Central on Dauphin Street downtown, Mobile's place to party.

"We wanted to bring out the big guns to kick off the Mobile ARCA 200 weekend and they don't get any bigger than the Battleships," said Tommy Praytor of Mobile International Speedway. "The Mobile ARCA 200 has become a race fan's destination but we want to show off the Mobile area. The Battleship, our great restaurants on the Causeway, and Dauphin Street are a good primer for the race."

The race is scheduled for Saturday, March 9, with the green flag flying at 2 p.m. CT. Mobile's Cale Gale won the inaugural Mobile ARCA 200 in March with race fans occupying over 1800 hotel nights and generating a $1.4 million impact to the area's economy. Tickets for the 2013 race are on sale at MobileSpeedway.net, by calling (251) 957-2063, or by visiting the Mobile ARCA 200 ticket office at 4742-C Airport Blvd. in Mobile.

Still remaining this year, the 2012 ARCA Racing Series Championship Awards Banquet is scheduled for Saturday, December 8, and will be held in conjunction with the International Motorsports Industry Show (IMIS), which will begin Thursday. The banquet will take place in a new location, the Indiana Convention Center in downtown Indianapolis. Testing for the 2013 ARCA Racing Series season opener at Daytona International Speedway will take place from December 14-16.

Founded by John and Mildred Marcum in 1953 in Toledo, Ohio, the Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) is recognized among the leading sanctioning bodies in the country. Closing in on completing its sixth decade after hundreds of thousands of miles of racing, ARCA administers over 100 race events each season in four professional touring series and local weekly events.

REVSTAR prépare la jeune relève en Stock Car sur terre battue

Une nouvelle mini piste sur terre battue a vu le jour à St-Marcel la semaine dernière au RPM Speedway.

Les nouveaux propriétaires ne ménagent pas leurs efforts dans le but bâtir la relève du Stock Car au Québec.

Le mini circuit a été aménagé au centre de la piste déjà existante d’un quart de mille. Ce petit circuit de terre battue sera baptisé « LE MINI RPM SUPERSPEEDWAY », d'ailleurs la nouvelle piste savère d'une dimension parfaite pour la série Slingshot et va permettre aux jeunes pilotes et au moins jeunes de faire l'apprentissage du Stock Car sur terre battue. Les Slingshots fonctionnent très bien sur des pistes plus longues, toutefois ces bolides sont encore plus spectaculaires sur ce genre de circuit. De plus, seulement des petites voitures vont rouler sur la nouvelle piste, alors on prévoit que les conditions seront exceptionnelles en tout temps !

Le Mini RPM Speedway sera accessible seulement aux Slingshots et aux Go-Kart de terre battue. D'ailleurs un nouveau championnat nommé "JR Slinghot" sera implanté l'an prochain pour les jeune pilotes de 7 à 13 ans, comme cela se fait déjà du côté des États-Unis. Les courses se dérouleront en fin d'après midi et les finales seront présentées durant l'intermission lors des programme sur la grande piste. Le RPM Speedway et REVSTAR mettent tout en place pour bâtir une nouvelle génération de champions qui vont éventuellement graduer dans les ligues majeures dans les années à venir.

Les Slingshot de REVSTAR

Les autres séries qui vont utiliser les MINI RPM Speedway

Nous tenons remercier particulièrement Martin Lizotte de Princeville, propriétaire d’Excavation J-C Lizotte d’avoir contribué à réaliser ce projet grâce à son implication constante et avec l'apport de sa machinerie.

Afin de satisfaire le plus grand nombre de catégorie possible à chacun des programmes, l’équipe du RPM Speedway est fier d’annoncer la création du « Mini RPM Superspeedway » au centre de la piste actuel.

Celle-ci effectuera sa finale durant la préparation du circuit principal. Cette initiative est dans le but ultime d’offrir le meilleur spectacle aux amateurs avec des courses en continu sans interruption. Toute l’équipe du RPM Speedway travaillera d’arrache-pied pour bâtir une nouvelle génération de champions qui graduera dans les ligues majeures dans les années à venir.

Pourquoi le nom de « Mini RPM Superspeedway » ? Tout simplement puisque ce sera la plus grande des « petites pistes » au Canada pour les catégories de la relève.

Les dirigeants du circuit de St-Marcel-sur-le-Richelieu voudraient remercier Martin Lizotte, d’Excavation J-C Lizotte et Carl Labonté, propriétaire de REVSTAR pour leur implication dans les travaux du « Mini RPM Superspeedway ».

CHARLOTTE, NC – Devil’s Bowl Speedway stock car drivers Ron Proctor and Vince Quenneville, Jr., will be among the honorees at a black-tie gala for the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series on Friday, December 7. The ceremony, held in the Crown Ballroom at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, NC, will feature top short track racers from more than 50 tracks in the United States and Canada.

Proctor, of Charlton, NY, will collect hardware for his second straight Devil’s Bowl Speedway Track Championship and Vermont State Division I Championship under the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series. Proctor earned the title racing in the Bond Auto Parts Modified division at Devil’s Bowl Speedway in West Haven, VT, where he posted three victories and finished seventh or better in all 18 NWAAS events at the track in 2012. Proctor finished 68^th in national NWAAS Division I standings, with his total point fund winnings expected to top $5,000.

Brandon, VT driver Quenneville will be honored as the Vermont State Rookie of the Year for the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series. Although he is a veteran of 25 years behind the wheel, Quenneville qualified for the NWAAS rookie program due to his status as a first-time NASCAR Division I license holder. With five victories, Quenneville finished second in overall track and state standings to Proctor, and ranked a close second in NWAAS national rookie standings behind only Brian Parker of Oklahoma.

Other drivers receiving honors at the NASCAR Hall of Fame will include NASCAR Whelen All-American Series National Champion Lee Pulliam of Semora, NC, and national runner-up Keith Rocco of Wallingford, CT, who competed at Devil’s Bowl Speedway in May. The NASCAR Whelen All-American Series sanctions weekly stock car racing at more than 50 asphalt and dirt tracks in North America under a common championship point structure; each driver’s best 18 results in designated Division I events are counted toward their state and national point totals.

Devil’s Bowl Speedway will honor Proctor, Quenneville, and the local champions and top rookies from all of its four weekly racing divisions at the Banquet of Champions, scheduled for Saturday, February 2, 2013 at the Holiday Inn Rutland-Killington in Rutland, VT. More details regarding the festivities will made available soon.

Devil’s Bowl Speedway is located on Route 22A in West Haven, VT, four miles north of Exit 2 on US Route 4. For more information, call (802) 265-3112 or click www.devilsbowlspeedwayvt.com. Devil’s Bowl Speedway is on Facebook at facebook.com/devilsbowlspeedway and Twitter at @DevilsBowlSpeed.
