16-YEAR-OLD CANADIAN DRIVER TO MAKE DEBUT IN NO. 51 CAMRY AT SPEEDFEST

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (Jan. 15, 2018) – Kyle Busch Motorsports (KBM) announced today that 16-year-old Canadian driver Raphael Lessard will pilot the team's No. 51 Super Late Model in 18 events during the 2018 season. Lessard will make his KBM debut Sunday, Jan. 28 in the ARCA/CRA Super Series SpeedFest at Crisp Motorsports Park in Cordele, Ga.

Lessard is scheduled to compete for the CARS Super Late Model Tour championship and will also compete in several high-profile Super Late Model events this year, including The Rattler at South Alabama Speedway in Kinston, Ala., the North-South Super Late Model Challenge and the All American 400 at Fairgrounds Speedway in Nashville, Tenn., the U.S. Short Track Nationals at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway, the Winchester 400 at Winchester (Ind.) Speedway and the Snowball Derby at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Fla.

The Quebec native captured the 2016 CARS Super Late Model Tour championship after recording four wins, one pole, 157 laps led, eight top-five and nine top-10 finishes across 10 races. He also finished inside the top-10 in three premiere events that year; the All-American 400, the Winchester 400 and the Snowball Derby. In 2017, Lessard added his fifth career CARS Tour win while competing in a limited schedule, captured the pole and won the shootout race for the inaugural U.S. Short Track Nationals at Bristol and posted an average finish of 11.5 in two ARCA Racing Series starts.

"Raphael has put himself on the map in the Super Late Model world the last few years and we're excited to see what he can do behind the wheel of our No. 51 Toyota in 2018," Kyle Busch said. "To be able to win races at such a young age while also learning a new language and how to communicate with his team is pretty remarkable, so we're confident that he's only going to get better as he continues to mature both on and off the track."

"I'm really excited to join Kyle Busch Motorsports for the next step in the development of my career and looking forward to the opportunity to learn from Kyle and everyone involved in the Super Late Model program," said Lessard.  "I want to thank Toyota Racing Development, my parents and all of the partners that believed in me and made this possible."

Notable wins for the KBM Late Model team since its inception in 2007 include: Wisconsin All-Star 100 at the Milwaukee Mile (Kyle Busch 2008), Red Bud 300 at Anderson Speedway (Kyle Busch 2009), Winchester 400 at Winchester Speedway (Kyle Busch 2009, Erik Jones 2013 & 2014 and Noah Gragson 2017), Snowball Derby at Five Flags Speedway (Kyle Busch 2009 & 2017 and Erik Jones 2013), SpeedFest at Lanier National Speedway (Kyle Busch 2009 & 2010), SpeedFest at Watermelon Capital Speedway (Kyle Busch 2012), Rowdy 251 at Berlin Raceway (Kyle Busch 2010, 2011 & 2012), All-American 400 at Fairgrounds Speedway in Nashville (TJ Reaid 2010), Slinger Nationals at Slinger Super Speedway (Kyle Busch 2011), the Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway (Kyle Busch 2011), Denny Hamlin Short Track Showdown at Richmond International Raceway (Kyle Busch 2013), the Howie Lettow Memorial at the Milwaukee Mile (Kyle Busch 2013 and Erik Jones 2014) and the Rattler 250 at South Alabama Speedway (Christopher Bell 2015).

The Greatest Show on Dirt Will Invade Airborne Park Speedway for the First Time on July 25



The Greatest Show on Dirt Will Invade Airborne Park Speedway for the First Time on July 25

CONCORD, NC - Jan. 13, 2018 - With great excitement the World of Outlaws Craftsman® Sprint Car Series announces that The Greatest Show on Dirt will make its inaugural visit to Airborne Park Speedway in Plattsburgh, NY on Wednesday, July 25, 2018.
Airborne Park Speedway is a half-mile premier dirt track facility that has converted from asphalt to dirt racing multiple times throughout its 64 years of existence. The most recent transformation came before the start of the 2017 season, which ended 26 consecutive years of Airborne as a pavement track.

"Airborne has gone back and forth between asphalt and dirt since its inception in 1954. It's always been about what product is hot, and recently that has been dirt track racing," Airborne Media Director Robby Knowles said.

Last year, Airborne hosted the Empire Super Sprints (ESS) and will do so again in 2018, a month before the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series takes center stage at the half-mile track on July 25.

"The Outlaws are the biggest product dirt racing has to offer, and we are looking forward to exciting our existing fans and expanding the fan base of Airborne Park Speedway, especially the Canadian market," Knowles added.

Airborne Park Speedway is less than 50 miles from the Canadian border - just an hour from Montreal - and a strong Canadian contingency of fans and drivers are expected to make the tow for the Outlaws debut at the historic facility. The World of Outlaws will conclude the Empire State swing with weekend races at Ransomville and Weedsport, offering the area's dirt racing heroes three races in five nights to compete against The Greatest Show on Dirt.

"In the track's 64-year history, I can't think of an event that trumps this in magnitude. We are looking forward to the biggest event in Airborne Park Speedway history," Knowles said in anticipation of this summer's visit by the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series.

Tickets for the Outlaws' inaugural visit to Airborne are set to go on sale on Monday, January 29. Stay tuned to the World of Outlaws social channels for further information.

The World of Outlaws Craftsman® Sprint Car Series is the premier winged Sprint Car Series in the World, featuring the most world-class drivers. Beginning in 1978, the World of Outlaws tour invades racetracks and thrills fans across the United States while sanctioning events at some of the most famous dirt racing facilities in the world. In 2018, the Outlaws will be racing for nearly $6 million in purses and other prize money across the nearly 90 events.

The Series that is rich in history and tradition will embark on its 40th anniversary season starting in early February. The Outlaws will make stops at 25 states spanning from Volusia Speedway Park in Florida to Airborne Park Speedway in New York and as far west as Skagit in Washington State and many, many tracks in-between before concluding the season with the World of Outlaws World Finals at The Dirt Track at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Peterborough Speedway Staff Starts Work on the 2018 Schedule

Peterborough Speedway Staff Starts Work on the 2018 Schedule

By Jim Clarke, Clarke Motorsports Communications/First Draft Media

 

The first half century of action at Canada's Toughest 3rd of a Mile Paved Oval entered the history books with the final checkered flag of last year's Autumn Colours Classic. At the same moment, staff and officials at Peterborough Speedway began making plans for the 2018 schedule. Track owner and promoter J.P. Josiasse says that the off-season is almost busier than when the next Saturday night racing program gets underway.

 

"At this time of year, we're always looking forward and thinking about the new season," said Josiasse. "There are sponsorship packages to put together and updates to the rule book that need to be finalized. Working toward opening the gates on the Victoria Day weekend takes a lot of effort behind the scenes and we're in the office to get things ready."

 

Josiasse says he's hoping the hometown speed plant can carry the attitude of the track's 50th annual season into 2018. The golden anniversary campaign ran rain-free during the regular schedule, with a brief weather delay during the Autumn Colours Classic the only blemish on the year. At the track's awards banquet, Tyler Betts, Noel Snow and Tim Burke accepted the accolades as first-time champions in the Organics & Glass Late Model, Jiffy Lube Mini Stock and Trent Lakes Complete Plumbing Renegade Truck divisions respectively. Jeremy Kelly claimed his second straight Battlefield Equipment Rental 4Fun title, with Anthony DiBello earning his 3rdThunder Car Crown in 4 seasons.

 

Starting in 2018, the division that had been known as 4Fun will undergo a name change to 'Bone Stock', while the former Thunder Car class will now go by the Super Stock title. Josiasse and the Peterborough Speedway team will also be part of a multi-track group that will promote events in the rebranded Ontario Super Late Model Series. 75 lap shows will include time trials to determine qualifying spots and the winner's payout proposed for $2500, with a strong payout through the running order. The tour's first of 8 dates is scheduled for Saturday, May 26th at Flamboro, with stops at Sunset, Sauble, Jukasa Motor Speedway and the tight, tricky bullring on Mount Pleasant Road, west of the Liftlock City leading up to the series' finale – October 6th and 7th – at the Autumn Colours Classic.

 

"Our commitment to quality, family motorsports entertainment remains the same as we head into the track's 51stseason of continuous operation," Josiasse said. "It's a very competitive marketplace and we need to give the fans the best value for their dollar, week-after-week."

 

Bullring bullet points: Peterborough Speedway's 2018 schedule will be officially released at the 4th annual Motorama Custom Car and Motorsports Expo – March 9th, 10th & 11th – at the International Centre in Toronto.

 

Fans can also keep up-to-date with the latest off-season news and information by visitingwww.peterboroughspeedway.com, liking the track's Facebook page and following it on Twitter.
