Notes About the Triple Crown Series
Tonight the NASCAR Late Models resume their popular triple crown racing series. This series shakes things up for tonight’s weekly event as it has a separate points system from the regular NASCAR Late Model Championship which is currently led by “Rocket” Ron Sheridan (#52) of Mt Brydges. Over on the Triple Crown side of things, Steve Robblee (#28) of Dorchester is top of the heap. This brings an interesting dynamic to tonight’s race, as Steve Robblee has been out of action since just before the July 7th Summer Showdown presented by APC as a result of back problems. His return tonight as the leader of the Triple Crown points series should put a bit of spring into his step as he moves to defend that position.
In the first round of the Triple Crown, Scott Lindsay (#20) of St. Marys and Jesse Kennedy (#10) of Southwold won each of their respective 25-lap races. Expect a tough battle as many of these classic Delaware Speedway rivals take to the speedway once again. Time trials will also be notable as we had a new track record set back on the summer showdown when D.J. Kennington with his 18.509 seconds, breaking Kyle Busch’s record set just minutes earlier at 18.634 seconds.
ISMA SUPER MODIFIED TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE
The ISMA Super Modifieds will soon be returning to Delaware Speedway (August 6 & 7, 2010). This is the only Canadian stop for the Super Modifieds this season! Full weekend information and early-bird tickets are now available at this link.
TRAIN RACES ARE BACK!
They captured the imagination of young and old alike until they came to an end in the mid 1990s. The formula was simple: three cars, chained together, all in varying states of repair. Delaware Speedway hosted the first-ever Train Race in Canada in September 1988. Today, Delaware Speedway is pleased to announce that after twenty years out of action, the famous Delaware Speedway Train Races are set to return. The special return event will run on Saturday, September 4 as part of the Great Canadian Race Weekend. More information and video at this link.
