Cornwall, Ont – Wednesday July 1, 2015 – Martin Bélanger – Mother Nature is not on our side for 2015! With inclement weather a third cancellation in a row with Canada Day Extravaganza taken away by rain. These several cancellations will have an impact on the schedule with many changes to be done in the coming weeks, here are the details!
On this coming Sunday, July 5th, the 2nd round of the Bandit Motorsports Sportsman Challenge will be run with a reduced event as a 50-lap race will be completed with $1,000 to win and a purse similar to a DIRTcar Series. The Mini-Stock division will have their Danny Lefebvre Memorial 25 event with a 25-lap feature event with a big purse and bonus money.

On Sunday, July 12th, the 2nd race in Bandit Motorsports Canadian Nationals will be done with a 100-lap Modified feature race along with the Super Series Starter, making this race very important. A complete program plus the Sportsman Dash will done as planned. Co-Op Embrun Dekalb will sponsor the evening as admission price will now be $20 in general admission.
Rutters Elevators will be the main sponsor for the visit of the Patriot Sprint on July 19 but no changes in the racing schedule for the remainder of July.

A new schedule was created for Seaway GM night on Sunday, August 23 with the makeup date for the annual visit of the Super DIRTcar Big-Block Series with a 100-lap Modified event. Already part of that schedule on that evening, the Patriot Sprint will be there along with the Lussier-Seaway Sportsman Series race as the Vintage category will complete a very busy evening. General Admission pricing was set to 35$ for that spectacular event.
With the addition of two nights off for the Pro-Stock, a special 35-lap race will be run on Sunday, August 30th.
Several changes have been completed to make sure to include most of the different series event. Hopefully Mother Nature will let us race as the remainder of the schedule is quite spectacular until the end of the season!
