Joan Roue, CARQUEST Pro Stock TourGEARY, NB (2005 August 3) - This Saturday the CARQUEST Pro Stock Tour will make their second and final stop of the 2005 season at the New Brunswick International Speedway (NBIS). The event will feature The PRO LINE 100, round 8 of 11 en route to the 2005 series championship.
Typically, CARQUEST Tour races at the fast Geary oval shake up the "regular" running order, so this Saturday's race could be pivotal in deciding the 2005 title.
Several elements enter the equation when the CARQUEST Tour stops at Geary, but most prominent is the fact that several NBIS weekly pro stock division competitors usually enter the events. With lap time and home track advantage on their side, the NBIS regulars, or graduates thereof, usually do quite well.
Another exciting element that challenges the racers and entertains the fans is the high speed the racecars carry around the track - making you sit on the edge of your seat - whether you are in the stands or in the racecar.
Rollie MacDonald (Pictou, NS) leads the pack of 39 competitors that have entered 2005 CARQUEST Tour events. MacDonald has earned 1355 points to-date, just three more than inaugural series champion Wayne Smith (Halifax, NS). EIT Race Radio rookie of the year contender Shawn Turple (Enfield, NS) sits third at 1312.
Fredericton native and former NBIS pro stock division champ Shawn Tucker is fourth at 1300 and three-time NBIS pro stock champ Brad Mann, another series rookie contender, is fifth at 1288.
In the series first stop at NBIS this year (June 19) MacDonald finished ninth, Smith 10th, Turple second, Tucker fifth and Mann fourth. Kevin Moore (Fredericton), an NBIS graduate to the CARQUEST Tour, won the event.
