Delaware Speedway: On As Scheduled!

LONDON, ON - Tonight's NASCAR Whelen All-Americn Series Racing Program at Delaware Speedway is ON AS SCHEDULED.  This evening's racing features the second round of the populuar three-race Triple Crown series for the NASCAR Late Models as well as racing from the POWERADE Modifieds and Demar Aggregates Trucks.  Spectator gates open at 6:00 pm, time trials at 7:15 pm, racing starts at 8:00 pm.

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.
