Friday evening will play host to the only Canadian stop for the extremely fast ISMA Super Modifieds presented by Patco Transportation, and Saturday the Demar Nationals 300 and Throne Kings Make-a-Wish Wreckreation Spectacular. The ISMA Super Modifieds have been quite the crowd pleaser in recent years. 2008 marks the third year in a row the coveted series has graced the Delaware half-mile after a previous twenty-year absence. Once again this year’s event will feature NASCAR Star Johnny Benson. Benson is the current points leader in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. Included in his list of accomplishments are being voted 2006 and 2007 as the most popular driver in the Craftsman Trucks, as well as 1995 Champion of the NASCAR Busch (Nationwide) Series. An autograph session for the ISMA Super Modifieds will be held before the event. Canadians were well represented on the podium at last year’s Delaware Speedway event with only one American making it into the top-five. Last year’s race was won by local Dave McKnight of Brampton, Ontario, who broke second-place finisher ISMA Champion Chris Pearly’s winning streak. Third was Ryan Litt of Lyons, Ontario. Fourth and fifth were two other Canadian home-track favorites, Mark Sammut and Mike Lichty. The POWERADE Open-Wheel Modified Championship race is also scheduled for Friday evening. Mark Watson (#20) of St. Thomas will be attempting to win his second consecutive championship. He currently leads seven-time champion Jamie Cox (#3) of Dorchester by thirteen points, and Barry Newman (#1) of Springfield by sixteen. Along with the racing action, Friday will also see country music star Jamie Warren presenting the national anthems with the support of Country Favourites BX93. Warren is currently promoting his new album “Right Here Right Now” and will be available throughout the evening on the concourse. The highly anticipated Country Corners Rent-All ATV Draw is also set to take place on Friday evening. Throughout the season each race night fans have had the opportunity to qualify for the chance to take home the Arctic Cat ATV. The finalists will each be given a key down on the front straightaway - - but only one key will start the ATV. The fan with the key that starts the machine will be its lucky new owner! Gates for Friday’s event open at 6:00 PM, autograph session runs from 6:50-7:30 PM, racing starts at 8:00 PM.---Saturday’s event presented by Demar Aggregates promises to be like no other in recent memory. The day sets itself up as two events in one: the Transmission Direct Demar Nationals 300, and the Throne Kings Make a Wish Wreckreation Spectacular! The Transmission Direct Demar Nationals 300 is the most prestigious Transmission Direct Enduro race of the year. Steve Book (#64) of Brantford was the winner of last year’s Demar Nationals event. This year’s race sees special prizing bonus of over $2,000 from Demar Aggregates in special bonuses for the top-5 drivers and the driver who finishes in 28th position (courtesy of L82 construction). These bonuses are paid above and beyond the regular Delaware Speedway purse. After a season that surpassed all expectations, the Ultimate Sandblasting & Coating Chaos cars are set to open the day with their most ‘chaotic’ format of the year. What will the format be? You’ll have to be there to find out. Formats are kept secret from fans and competitors until the day of the event. Preparations and construction are underway for the Ultimate test of the Chaos driver’s skill and determination. The Ultimate Sandblasting & Coating Chaos Car event will also see the debut of a new Chaos Car called “Demar Nationals”. The vehicle has been the focus of a fundraising campaign for the Make-A-Wish foundatio...

Yes JB will have his new ride , i understand this is its maiden voyage.
I gotta go with Perly,McNight,& Litt top 3 in the supers.
The delaware mods have a really tight battle for the top 4, really like to see Cox win his eigth championship, BUT I dont think there will be a shift in the top 4 in points. Also hearing there might be 2 or 3 cars from Varney and mosport, really like the 8 car of Mclean (has Steckly's crew chief for the set up), he's been fast every where he goes.
FLASH: David McCullough will be driving the family super(Hosies), i'm sure that will bring big smile's 😮 all around. good luck dave 8) 8)
