SPEEDWAY PARTNERS TAKE APC 300 TO THE NEXT LEVEL Sponsor Coalition Adds Over $12,000.00 in Prizing to the Great Canadian Race! August 15, 2007For Immediate Release John Houghtoninfo@delawarespeedway.comDelaware Speedway PR McColl Racing Enterprises, United Floors, Restoration Masters, Auto Trim Design, Larry Knott Fibreglass and APC / CANUSA have partnered together to drastically ramp up the prizing for the APC 300. The new prizing will heavily benefit drivers who may not win the race, but still have a good showing: - One prize up for grabs will be a bare Late Model chassis from McColl Racing Enterprises. The chassis is being presented in conjunction with Restoration Masters & United Carpet. The approximate value of this prize is over $5,500.00. The chassis is the primary component in the construction of a new Late Model car. - Larry Knott Fibreglass Fabrication is offering up $1,000.00 gift certificate. Knott Fibreglass is responsible for many of the fiberglass bodies seen on the race track. - AutoTrim Design will be offering $1,000.00 decaling package; AutoTrim Design is responsible for many of the decaling on the race cars and signs around the facility. The best part? These prizes will be given by random draw of the drivers who start the final feature. This means that any driver who shows up to race in the event will have the opportunity to get in on the prizes, not just the winners! Furthermore, APC will give every driver who attempts to qualify a $100.00 gift certificate to be used at any APC store. If 40 cars arrive for the APC 300 this could be a potential additional $4,000.00 available to competitors. “This is a fantastic opportunity for our racers to get some prizing who might not win the race.” said race director Jeff Wilcox, “It’s very exciting to see companies getting together to help out on these events in a way that directly benefits the competitors.” Not to leave the top finishers out, on top of the $10.000.00 to win, the top 3 finishers will receive a commemorative customized APC 300 bar fridge; a way to remember a Great Canadian Race for a long time! “This is an example of what speedway supporters can achieve by coming together,” said Luke Ramsay of APC / CANUSA. “We want to make this the super bowl of Late Model racing in Canada. This is the big one. We want the best guys from all over putting the best against the best.” The coalition of sponsors may be able to do just that: all told, the increase is over $12,000.00 above the original purse bringing the new purse total to $47,750.00 in money and prizing available directly to the competitors. With prizing spread throughout the field, anyone with a Late Model car will be taking a serious look at this race. The APC 300 is the crowing jewel of Late Model racing in Canada. Held annually at Delaware Speedway the event is rich with history and is the top Late Model racing prize in the country. The event is the culmination of the Great Canadian Race Weekend taking place August 31-September 2. The APC 300 will run on Sunday September 2. The event settles both the coveted Delaware Speedway track championship and the Weekend Warrior Series Cup in the first two segments. The final 150 laps is a no-holds barred pedal to the metal race to the finish! Weekend pass pricing has been announced for the weekend: the pass will be just $45 and will give general admission to all three days. Pricing for Friday and Saturday has also been adjusted to regular Friday event prices. Kids 12 & under will be free to all three days. These adjustments combined with free camping make Delaware Speedway the place to be on the long weekend! For more information visit www.delawarespeedway.com.

Mobil 1 you are saying reply #37.You are forKOH drivers and not the regular show drivers. By the way I am using the $1000.00 & $2000.00 purse as what the sponsor has offered this year.You donot want to understand that the TRACK WINS & REGULAR DRIVERS WIN and KOH drivers happy they can race.and o yes throwing $1000.00 - $2000.00 into the division purse that night is a big thing as your regular drivers for that division get extra $
which makes them happy.Your logic that a sponsor is going to say good bye.If they (Sponsor ) are serious about racing about it they will listen & work with the track
P.S. By the way you did not mention that KOH got no $ before-True ,Track got large crowds-Yes, Large Fields -Yes

the more you post, the more uneducated you sound, we should all be happy that these sponsors want to put the money into ANYTHING hitting the track, the crowds are far superior now that they are putting up good $$$ for king of the hill. I have talked to many fans that have come to the track for their first time because they heard about the big king of the hills. It seems like you are the only one that has a gripe with it, I know a lot of drivers don't, haven't heard of any that do, but i'm not saying that there arent some out there. Fact of the matter is, anytime you can put more butts in the seats its good for every racer at the track, makes selling sponsorship MUCH easier (still not easy, but easier) and sponsorship is where the money to operate the cars come from. $50 more in pay-out doesn't mean squat if you compared to having more people in the stands making sponsors want to get involved.

It sounds like a few people (or person ) are totaly missing something. The 1000 (or 2000) or whatever, goes to the winner. Which is unlike all the reg divisions at the track. 2nd place on down receive no money.
Compare this to what, say Peterbuilt puts up. The purse is spit up throughout the field. How much would each KOTH driver get if they were to split up the money.
You just can't compare the KOTH format with the regular racing It's shapes vs colours.
Quit trying to make a comparison and stirring up crap.

I like the KOTH as a spectator, I like the crowds as a pit monkey and I give a lot of thanks to Throne Kings, APC / CANUSA, Huron Produce & Ron O’Brien Remax and all and any other sponsors for stepping up to help give some enthusiasts a proper place to use their right foot.

Anyway, what does all this have to do with the APC 300?

I dont know about anyone else, but i am super excited about this race this weekend. Aside from the dual between 10 and 77, the $10,000 to win shoot out looks just as exciting. I cant even pick a winner. Its anyones race to win.

What makes this race different from last is the additional 50 laps. Tire management is going to be key. The half time break is going to let us see different strategies. In the PartSource 140, we saw some teams elect to take 2 rear tires instead of 2 rights. I don't even think Lindsay took tires at all.

I cant wait!

Tonight on Race Time Radio Jason Hathaway of Appin Ontario driver inthe NCTS series said that himself & possibly JR Fitzpatrick will be back at Delaware Friday night for the Sport Stock double feature as for the APC 300 he didnot say he could make it as they are busy this weekend. He plans to also race in the OSS Race Saturday at Cayuga and as well as the NCTS race also at Cayuga Saturday Night.There is a possiblty he could race Sunday but by thre sounds it would be a long shot.
