Thorold, Ontario – Pinty’s Delicious Foods is in the business of eatertainment. Merrittville Speedway is in the business of entertainment. The two will meet Saturday May 2nd to get the 2015 Championship Chase cooking. Pinty’s makes good food fun and will make good racing fun as well.

“We are looking forward to celebrating the start of Merrittville’s 64th season and broadening our support of racing,” said Anthony Spiteri, Vice President of Marketing, Pinty’s Delicious Foods. “Dirt Track Racing and Pinty’s are the perfect partners – our goal is to bring the two traditions together … sharing great chicken fingers and great racing with family and friends! ”

The 2015 Championship Chase Kick Off will see the Hoosier Stock, Rev’s Full Throttle Powersports Modified Lite and Van Raine Construction 4 Cylinder Divisions joining the Rick’s Delivery Sportsman and Pinty’s 358 Modifieds who already got their start in the Seaway Mall Spring Sizzler.

“It’s wonderful to have a sponsor like Pinty’s join us … they are so engaged and committed to growing the sport (racing), said (Merrittville GM) Erica Bicknell-Jones, “for several years Pinty’s have been avid supporters of the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series … and in 2015 – they’ll help us kick off our points races.”

Defending Pinty’s 358 Modified Champion Mat Williamson has already visited Victory Lane after winning the Seaway Mall Spring Sizzler – holding off a late race charge from Chad Brachmann. Brachmann’s only 2014 win came one year ago with the driver ultimately finishing in the runner-up spot in the overall points to Williamson.

Looking to start their first title defences will be Mark Fawcett, Jeff May and Leroy Buscumb in the Hoosier Stock, Rev’s Full Throttle Powersports and the Van Raine Construction 4 Cylinder Divisions.
