BOWMANVILLE, ON - Mosport Speedway will bring down the curtain on an action-packed 2011 Saturday Night Stock Car Racing season with the eagerly anticipated Fan Appreciation Night on September 10.
This will be the second Fan Appreciation Night at the half-mile paved oval this year. It will give all the new and returning fans an opportunity to head down on track and meet all of the teams and drivers during an extended intermission break. Children will receive autographed hero cards, treat bags given out by the driver's and much more.
The full line-up of racing will include the return of the Techtonix Open-Wheeled Modifieds and Ontario Pro Challenge along with Mosport's three home divisions, the Pure Stocks, Bob's Towing Sportsman and Late Models as the season long battles for the championships will be decided on the final night of nose-to-tail racing.
Defending champion Jim Rossiter, who made the successful switch from Modifieds to the Late Model class in 2010 will be trying to catch Port Perry driver Todd Delisle who holds a slim lead. Mosport veteran Dwight Brown will be looking to use the momentum from last week to move up the leaderboard as he chases down the driver's at the top.
It's been a back-and-forth tussle at the top of the Bob's Towing Sportsman division and could come down to the very last race of the season to crown a champion. Former Mosport champions John Baker Jr. and Bill Northam are separated by just 12 points.
In the popular Pure Stock division, Whitby native Kevin Hinds has a commanding lead as he looks to secure his first championship. His consistent top finishes throughout the 2011 season has given him a total of 481 points, 48 more than his nearest competitor.
Redbeard's Sports will be the night's Corporate Sponsor. They have three giant locations in Barrie, Belleville and Kingston. Redbeard's will be holding a tent sale at the Speedway as well.
"Feed The Need In Durham" will once again be on hand at Mosport Speedway this Saturday night. You can help out by donating canned food items upon entering Canada's fastest half-mile paved oval.
For the finale, the gates will open at 5:00 pm and the green flag drops on the evening's first race at 6:00 pm. Admission for adults is just $15 and as always, children 12 and under are free with a paid adult admission.
