12-race slate includes previously scheduled dirt debut at Ohsweken Speedway

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Following an abbreviated six-race season under the “Pinty’s Fan Cave Challenge” banner the NASCAR Pinty’s Series will run a full slate of events and once again crown a season-long champion in 2021. 

The return to a full schedule features 12 races at 8 tracks culminating with the championship race at Jukasa Motor Speedway on Saturday, Sept. 25. Jukasa has hosted the season finale every year since its return to the schedule in 2017.

“Our team has worked hard to put together a full schedule that will showcase the exciting, door-to-door racing Pinty’s Series fans have come to expect,” said Chad Seigler, NASCAR Vice President, International Business Development. “Out of an abundance of caution, we are focusing on stand-alone events, especially as we kick off the season. Though we are unsure of when we can welcome fans back to the race track, we will continue to work with local and provincial officials to put on as safe an event as possible. The health and safety of our competitors, officials and fans are our top priority.”

Other highlights include:

• The series’ long-awaited debut on dirt. Ohsweken Speedway will host its first Pinty’s Series race on Tuesday, Aug. 17 after being featured on the initial 2020 schedule.

• A Quebec swing in late August featuring three races at two tracks in two days. Circuit ICAR will host its first series race since 2017 on Saturday, Aug. 28 followed by twin events at Autodrome Chaudière on Sunday, Aug. 29.

• The Pinty’s Series will again serve as the opening act for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP) with two races on Sunday, Sept. 5.

All races will air on TSN and RDS. Start times and complete broadcast schedules will be released at a later date.

May 4, 2018. Veteran racer Jason White of Sun Peaks, BC is returning to the NASCAR Pinty’s Series for 2018 in his familiar #21 Powder Ventures Excavating machine.  White is embarking on an ambitious program of oval tracks, road course and temporary street circuits as he looks to make a bigger splash in 2018.   

The 2018 season opener is where White will make his return in the #21 Powder Ventures Excavating car on the famed road course at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.  “I love this track” said White “and I can’t think of a better place to kick of the season at a place that’s so challenging and I’ve had success at with a sixth place finish” he added.

Also part of the 2018 program for the #21 Powder Ventures Excavating team are events at Jukasa Motor Speedway near Hamilton, ON and Wyant Group Raceway in Saskatoon, SK and the Toronto Indy.  “I’m really excited to return to Jukasa speedway, I really am impressed with what Alex Nagy and his group have done and I hope to perform well at Canada’s new gem of motorsports.  These are all tracks that I’ve also run well, we wanted to put together a program that gave us a chance to succeed at each of he races we’re running” he explained.

White’s racing history in the Pinty’s series goes back to its establishment in 2007.  He ran full time for a number of years before business and family commitments limited his racing endeavors to only a handful of races the past few seasons.
With such a diverse line up of racetracks White has chosen to partner with two different teams to provide the best possible equipment for the #21 Powder Ventures Excavating car. At CTMP and Toronto will be prepped by Rob McConnell’s South Coast Racing. 

On the ovals the #21 Powder Ventures ride will come from the DJK Racing stable.  “They do a great job and I know we’ll be competitive,” said White.

DJ Kennington is equally pleased to have White back working with his group.  “Jason’s a terrific guy, always positive and it’s great to have him back with our team. We’ve had some good results in the past and we’re expecting more of that for him and our team” said Kennington.

Jason White opens his season in the #21 Powder Ventures Excavating Dodge on the Victoria Day Weekend Speedfest at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park May 20th.  Other scheduled events include both races at Jukasa Motor Speedway, the doubleheader event at Wyant Group Raceway and the Pinty’s Grand Prix at the Toronto Indy. More events may be added to the schedule.

PRESS RELEASE
For immediate release

CAMIRAND TO DRIVE THE NEW CHEVROLET CAMARO IN THE 2018 NASCAR PINTYS SERIES

Berthierville, February 19, 2018 – The Chevrolet Camaro is back in NASCAR. While the car made its debut in the top-tier division, the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, as well as other touring series, the new Camaro will be introduced in the NASCAR Pinty’s series next May.

Paillé, #1 GM dealer in Canada, played a lead role to bring back the Camaro in the Canadian division of NASCAR, as his driver Marc-Antoine Camirand will try to capture the championship in the mythic car that celebrated his 50th anniversary last year.

“It was natural for us to showcase Chevrolet’s muscle car in Canada’s most prestigious stock-car series. We wanted to introduce the Camaro in the NASCAR Pinty’s series to have on track a Chevrolet rear-wheel-drive V8 with manual transmission,” commented GM Paillé CEO, Jean-Claude Paillé,

GM Paillé’s team met with Chevrolet Canada during the NASCAR Pinty’s race at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, located a few miles from General Motors facilities in Oshawa, ON. 22 Racing team, that prepares n°22 car driven by Marc-Antoine Camirand, developed a new body that replicates Chevrolet’s mythic performance car.

“As soon as we had the approval from Chevrolet Canada, R&D started at 22 Racing shop to introduce the new body in the NASCAR Pinty’s series for the 2018 season. Scott Steckly’s team has worked on the car since last fall,” told Mr. Paillé.

Driver Marc-Antoine Camirand, who will compete full-time in the NASCAR Pinty’s series in 2018, is excited to be at the wheel of the new n°22 Camaro, thanks to the most important GM dealer in Canada. “I’ve always said how proud I am to work with such passionate and professional partner and team as GM Paillé and 22 Racing. The introduction of the Camaro shows again how serious these people around me are about racing. I’m highly motivated to give them my first win and fight for the championship,” said Camirand.

While the Camaro made an astonishing come back in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup, winning the 2018 Daytona 500 with Richard Childress Racing n°3 car driven by Austin Dillon, it will be on track in the NASCAR Pinty’s series in May, for the season opener at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, in Bowmanville, ON.

Hamilton: Monaghan Motorsports is the newest partner in Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation’s Care4 program. NASCAR Canadian Tire Series (NCATS) driver Trevor Monaghan is proud to officially announce the “Care4 MacKids” race team.This program is designed to raise awareness and funds for McMaster Children’s Hospital in Hamilton, Ontario.

Monaghan is seeking corporate partners to ensure a successful 2015 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series racing season and to help create a positive connection between all the “Care4 MacKids” team partners, the NASCAR community, McMaster Children’s Hospital and their patients.

McMaster Children’s Hospital is the fourth largest inpatient pediatric hospital in Canada, and second in Ontario, serving a population of 2.3 million people, including 600,000 children. It offers the only dedicated pediatric emergency centre and cancer treatment program in the region, and is home to Ontario’s largest neonatal intensive care unit and one of Canada’s largest pediatric inpatient mental health units.

As a resident of Hamilton with five children, Monaghan has always had a desire to assist McMaster Children’s Hospital. Combining his passion for racing and supporting children’s health programs seemed to be a perfect fit. Throughout the 2015 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series season, Monaghan and the “Care4 MacKids” race team will develop and participate in fundraising initiatives to ensure that necessary equipment, furnishings and programs are provided for families served by McMaster Children’s Hospital for years to come.

For the past few seasons, Monaghan has run the number 13; however this year he will return to running the number 4 to further show his support of the “Care4 MacKids” program.

As governments do not fund equipment in hospitals, proceeds from the Care4 program, along with other Foundation initiatives, provide essential support for priority equipment needs and education. The “Care4 MacKids” race team provides an opportunity for socially-conscious businesses to sponsor Monaghan Motorsports, and while doing so, to support Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation. Monaghan Motorsports, while racing in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series, will donate 5% of sponsorships achieved to McMaster Children’s Hospital.

“We are grateful to Trevor Monaghan for his commitment to the Care4 program, and in turn to Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation and our goal of Health Care, Transformed,” said Tamara Pope, Vice President, Marketing and Communications, Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation. “It is with the support of individuals, like Trevor and Monaghan Motorsports, that we are able to continue to raise awareness about the role we play in supporting children’s health care across the region. We wish Trevor a successful season and appreciate all his efforts to raise awareness and funds for McMaster Children’s Hospital.”

“I’m very excited about the partnership with McMaster Children’s Hospital,” said Monaghan. “My eight-year-old spent some time there when he was a baby and they took great care of him, so this is personal to me and I’m very happy to be able to give something back to them.”

Fans can follow Trevor Monaghan on Twitter; @trevormonaghan – on Facebook; Trevor Monaghan Motorsports and on his website www.tmmotorsports.ca.

Monaghan kicks off his 2015 NCATS season June 20 at Sunset Speedway, Innisfil, Ontario at the Leland Industries 300 presented by Johnsonville. To view Trevor’s racing schedule visit www.tmmotorsports.ca. Trevor will also be attending the following events with the car in support of Hamilton Health Sciences:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



New Driver for NASCAR Canadian Tire Series Team:

Canada’s Best Racing Team Welcomes Erica Thiering



TORONTO, On (Jan. 19, 2015) – Shortly after announcing their Trans Am Series debut, Canada’s Best Racing Team (CBRT) pulls another surprise from their helmet by introducing Erica Thiering from Sherwood Park, Alberta, to the team.

There is no doubt that the fan base at racing events across Canada is diverse, and with an increasing number of female fans.

This is an opportunity for me to continue improving as a racer, while striving for new achievements, such as rookie of the year. The 2015 season is going to be a wild ride and I can’t wait to see all of my fans and supporters at the track!”

Race Recap: “Extra Set of Wings” Pushes Thompson to Victory Lane

June 27, 2014
Delaware Speedway PR

Shawn Thompson (#72) of Ailsa Craig took home a stunning and emotional victory in the Canada Day APC Six-Pack 100 on Friday evening at Delaware Speedway.  In the lead up to the event Thompson experienced the loss of two good friends and loved ones.  He dedicated his event to these friends and what a dedication it was: he started nearly dead last in the 20-car field, 19th spot after missing time trials for a mechanical issue.

Time trials would be won by Mark Watson (#3) of St. Thomas with his lap time of 18.786 seconds.  The dice inversion of eleven would set the field for the 100-lap APC-Six Pack Series main event.

Doug Stewart (#2) of London would lead the opening twelve laps of the event before Cole Powell (#25) of Mt. Brydges would get around him on lap thirteen in a high side pass off turn two.  Caution would fly on lap seventeen for an incident between Adam Quarrie (#6) of Dorchester and Dan Prudhomme (#96) of Thamesford.  Racing resumed with the running order settling out to being Powell, Jamie Cox (#22) of Dorchester followed by Jay Doerr (#43) of London.  The second caution came out on lap twenty-four for a spin involving Prudhomme and Jake Ott (#23).  A strong green-flag run followed that caution which saw Thompson continue to pick off positions as well as allowing Mark Watson (#3) of St. Thomas to make his way up to third.  As the run wore on, Jamie Cox began to mount a charge on Powell who continued to lead when caution came out on lap 64 for a spinning Doug Stewart.

Powell got a strong restart but contact was made between him and Jamie Cox.  Mark Watson would vault around them to take the lead.    With the top running order reshuffled caution would fly again when Jay Doerr made contact with Cox sending him spinning as Shawn Thompson (#72) and Matt Pritiko (#21) narrowly avoided the incident with Steve March #52 of London taking a hit.  When the race resumed Shawn Thompson was up into the top three and charging hard making his way to second.  It quickly became evident that Powell was falling off the pace.  Ultimately, Powell pulled out of line and stopped in turn two triggering the caution for his flat tire.  After a pit stop he would be penalized for delay of race, setting the stage for what was to come.

Back underway, race leader Mark Watson spun on the inside of Shawn Thompson triggering a caution.  When the race got back underway a pitched battle took place between a pair of Great Canadian Race winners, Jesse Kennedy (#10) of Oneida and Matt Pritiko (#21) of London for third.  Pritiko would manage to wrestle the spot away from Kennedy for the moment.  Thompson continued to lead and although he was a lap down for his penalty, Cole Powell was cutting aggressively through the field, even passing the third place car of Pritiko.  When caution came out for a spun Jeff Showler (#5) of Mt. Elgin on lap 82, Powell would be the recipient of the free pass and restart on the lead lap.

After an initial jump start, Thompson would now restart alongside Flamboro Speedway’s Shawn Chenoweth (#89) of Plattsville.  Chenoweth would race hard but quickly fall into line.  Powell, meanwhile was a man on a mission.  With a fresh set of right side tires from his pit stop he was picking off groups of cars and scraping along top runners like Kennedy and Pritiko as he charged to the front with laps running down.  When caution flew with four laps to go for a hard crash involving Steve March, Powell was up to third.

In the four-lap sprint to the finish, Cole Powell quickly sent Chenoweth back to third place, setting his sights clearly on Thompson.  On the final lap in turn two Powell got his nose to the inside of Thompson giving him a bump.  Thompson, with his heart heavy, would not be denied on this night.  He hung onto the car to take the checkers in memory of his friends as the Canada Day fireworks launched on the back stretch.  Powell would finish second, third was Shawn Chenoweth.

“We lost two good friends this week and there’s another one fighting in the hospital,” explained Thompson in victory lane.  “This one is for them up there, I know they were riding with me tonight.  I wanted this win so bad.”

Steve Arrand (#37) of Ailsa Craig took home the win in the 25-lap V8 Stock Muscle Car event.  Arrand had a flawless evening also winning both heat races earlier in the night.  Arrand led all 25 laps of the event.  A late-race caution gave other drivers a quick shot but Arrand responded by pulling away with confidence.  Derek McCullough (#38) of Glencoe finished second, third was Calvin Verheyen (#76) of Kerwood.

In the Ladies Bone Stock special Kim Schindel (#22) of Delaware would take home the checkers.  Anastasia Taback would lead the opening lap before being passed by Kim Schindel (#22) and Tiffany Hoffman (#72) of Stratford.  The battle continued as Schindel nearly lost control allowing Hoffman to keep up the pressure.  Lapped traffic played a factor and allowed Hoffman to take the lead before being quickly passed back by Schindel on lap four.  With two laps to go Schindel again got caught by lapped traffic but was able to maintain the lead to take the win.

Coming up next at Delaware Speedway is a fantastic two-day weekend of competition.  Friday night (July 4) at 7:30 pm will be the GAW Recycling Super Stocks, V8 Stocks, Demar Aggregates Trucks, and a King of the Hill Spectator’s race sponsored by KALTIRE.  Saturday night action will continue at 7:00 pm with the crazy Bone Stock Chaos Cars and Transmission Direct Enduro.
