NELLES CORNERS, Ontario (Aug. 22, 2007) – This Labour Day weekend, the “Crown Jewel” of Canadian racetracks will shine again. For over 40 years, Cayuga Speedway Park has hosted some of the largest events in Canadian stock car competition.This 5/8-mile oval track is one of Canada’s premier racing facilities, it proudly earned its nicknames as “The Charlotte of the North” and the “The Crown Jewel” for its door-to-door, bumper-to-bumper action. It offers both the speed of a super speedway and the tight action of a short track.
Over the years, Cayuga has challenged some of NASCAR’s legendary drivers in battles against Canada’s top stars. The “Intimidator” Dale Earnhardt Sr., Rusty Wallace, Darrel Waltrip, Jack Hollis, Junior Hanley, and Don Biederman are just but a few of the names. Canada’s largest oval facility also has hosted current NASCAR stars, Matt Kenseth, Tony Stewart and Canadian Ron Fellows.
To help remember yesterday, NASCAR legend Bobby Allison will be on hand for all the festivities. Allison is a former champion of NASCAR’s premier series and was named, in 1998, as one of NASCAR’s 50 greatest drivers. The three-time Daytona 500 winner also inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 1993.
In its inaugural season, the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Sirius Satellite Radio has provided racing fans all over Canada with exciting fender-to-fender finishes. The winners in four of the past five events have been determined in the final lap. See NASCAR Canadian Tire Series young stars J.R. Fitzpatrick and Andrew Ranger clash once again on the track.
They will be joined by veterans Don Thomson Jr., Ron Beauchamp Jr., Mark Dilley, Kerry Micks, Peter Gibbons and NASCAR Busch Series competitor D.J. Kennington. All of the drivers and teams in attendance will have the pedal to the metal in the Subway 200 presented by Sicards Holiday Campers as the 2007 season winds down and the championship battle heats up.

We all need to go and support Canada`s Crown Jewel.The new owners need to be given more of a chance to get this turned around.New Prices,new website,Great Nascar Driver GO BOBBY! and more from what i have heard.So it looks like they are on the right track,GO CAYUGA SPEEDWAY. THX insidetrack great work!
Andrew Ranger....finally a driver that makes Kerry the good guy!!! lol...kid should go back to grade school until he grows up!
Kerry will never be a good guy... ;)
Your right, Andrew got more to learn, give him a little time and he will. On the other hand, Kerry is too old to learn better...
Even though, at 3R, Kerry did move over a bit on Ranger, the whole thing started a couple of corners before the end, when Ranger tried the "Days of Thunder" push off.
Even though Ranger leads the points, and purse winnings, I wonder how much his destruction of Jacombs' cars have cost?
I'm still rooting for him to win the title. The resulting press coverage can only help the rest of the drivers with their sponsorship searches, next year.
Bobby Allison was one of the most aggressive and competitive racers that ever lived. And how many times did Biederman and Hanley bump their way from second to first? Funny to see people whining about Ranger being too aggressive and impatient. The series needs more young stars like him.
The "kid should go back to grade school". You want some cheese with that whine?
I don't think anyone would argue against bumping in NCATS, but what happened at the finish line was more than bumping. It looked like a plain attempt to run another competitor off the road.
no wine thanks...it wasn't bumping...bumping is fine...
Its racing.. If you don't like it, don't watch it
micks kinda started it bumping ranger on the yellow flag.
Let's just say their even and will race somewhat clean for the rest of the season.
Micks doesn't know how to race clean.
