RICK @ the RACES (4/5/6 March 2012)
Another week goes by in my area without any actual racing, so Sunday meant another day watching NASCAR on TV from Phoenix. After the drama and excitement of the Daytona 500 , a few days previous, the Arizona race was a bit of an anti-climax. It wasn’t one of the most exciting races I’ve seen, and dare I say, a little boring. Winner was Denny Hamlin
It will be such a relief when our local Dirt Racing begins.
With this in mind I must mention a ‘Media Presentation’ I attended this Tuesday ( March 6) at the Vieux Duluth Restaurant in Cornwall. The event was presented by the Cornwall Motor Speedway to high light the exciting year that’s in store for race fans.
Promoter Ron Morin and his staff , joined many of the tracks favorite drivers to meet the media.
The drivers present, included Chris Herbison, Corey Wheeler , Joey Ladouceur, Kevin Fetterly JR, Luke Whitteker , Stephane Lafrance and Tammy Jalbert.
After a presentation by race director Scott Hanton the evening was open for press interviews and photo sessions.
The season ahead is going to be an exciting one, with something for everyone. The Mohawk Racing Parts Series will be back again featuring the Pro Stocks, and ‘new’ for 2012 will be the St Lawrence Seaway Sportsman Series.
As well as the Canadian Nationals Series , Cornwall will also be hosting the regular Big and Small Block Modified SUPER DIRT tour.
