Kawartha Speedway’s popular Fan Appreciation Night gets a second kick at the can when racing returns to the 3/8th mile Fraserville, Ontario oval Friday, August 21st. The event, presented Discount Car and Truck Rentals will see drivers in all 3 of the track’s weekly divisions will bring their cars onto the front stretch of the spacious facility and fans will be invited to the racing surface to collect autographs from their favourites. The track will have a limited number of the 2009 souvenir programs available for autograph seekers.
“It’s called Fan Appreciation Night, but the drivers look forward to it just as much as the fans do,” says Derek Lynch, Kawartha Speedway’s promoter and general manager. “We hated to lose the first round due to weather, but we’re hoping for a great night of action this Friday.”
With the 2009 season nearing its end, the point’s battles in all 3 classes are getting extremely tight. In the Discount Car & Truck Rentals Mini Stocks, last season’s champion Jason Juriga occupies the top spot. Kyle Donaldson is in charge of the Better Carpet Thunder Car title chase, while defending champion Dan McHattie holds the hot hand in the NAPA Auto Parts Late Model chase.
In addition to the meet and greet with the drivers, the track will also host the a 100 lap NAPA Auto Parts Late Model feature race and the second annual Discount Car & Truck Rentals race for charity, featuring selected participants in a 10 lap exhibition race in mini stocks supplied by the track’s driving experience.
As always gates open Friday, August 21st at 3:00 with rotating on track practice sessions starting at 5:00.
