NPP SERIES 'OFF SEASON' REACHES THE MIDWAY POINT

EDMONTON, AB (January 11th) – January 11th is an important date on the calendar for teams of the Northern Provincial Pipelines Late Model Series.  January 11th is definitely not a race date because there is still snow on the ground.  It’s not a deadline to have driver and team profiles updated either.  So what does January 11th symbolize?  This date is the official halfway point of the ‘off-season’.  “One hundred and twelve days ago the NPP Late Model Series wrapped up the 2008 season,” says NPP Series announcer Gord Craig, “in just one hundred and twelve days we are going racing again.”

Behind the scenes preparation for the 2009 season continues. “We are always on the lookout for major sponsors for the NPP Series,” says Craig, “despite the downturn in the Canadian economy we hope to have a few more new sponsors on board before racing starts in May.”  The 2009 Northern Provincial Pipelines Late Model Series schedule is almost ready for official release.  “About seventy-five percent complete,” adds Craig, “race dates at our home track (Castrol Raceway) are pretty well finalized.  Right now we are in the process of firming up the race dates away from Edmonton.”  The Northern Provincial Pipelines Late Model Series celebrates its 9th season of racing action in 2009.
