St-Eustache, Quebec – Kevin Lacroix and the Bumper to Bumper crew are headed to Sunset Speedway, Ontario, for the first NASCAR Pinty's event of the season this weekend!
Kevin Lacroix is looking forward to the first two events of the season on Sunday, August 1st, at Sunset Speedway, an oval located in Innisfil, just outside of Toronto.
Lacroix is familiar with the 1/3 mile track as he competed there for two races last year during the shortened NASCAR Pinty's season. He tested at Sunset Speedway earlier this summer in preparation for the event, which will feature two races; the Frontline Workers 125 and the General Tire 125.
"The season started later than expected due to health measures in some provinces, which gave us more time to prepare," said Kevin Lacroix, who will be driving the The #74 Bumper to Bumper / Lacroix Tuning car.
"It also gave me time to practice on the simulator, I see it as a very good practice, and I've been doing a lot of that since the pandemic started."
Kevin Lacroix is approaching this season wisely; he will focus on consistency rather than wins to get his first title in the Canadian NASCAR series. "The important thing this season will be to have a consistent pace to make sure we get points. Last year I was very close to the title, but a mistake in the first race decided my fate in the championship."
Indeed, the level of drivers in this series is extremely strong, which will provide an additional challenge this season. However, Lacroix is confident in his team and his cars; "we made some good changes to the car we use on the road courses which gave us some speed, so I have all the elements to fight at the front of the field."
Once again, Bumper to Bumper will be Kevin Lacroix's main partner this year, in addition to Lacroix Tuning; "this season especially, I want to thank Bumper to Bumper for supporting me even though the economic situation is less than ideal. I am also thrilled to announce that we will have a new sponsor for the Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières. Stay tuned as we will be making the announcement very soon!"
Sunday's first event, the Frontline Workers 125, will be presented at 4:50 pm, and the General Tire 125 will be at 6:30 pm. Live timing and highlights can be found at nascar.ca/race-center/ and on the series' social media channels. Both races will be broadcast on RDS and TSN.

Innisfil, Ontario – There is going to be lots of competition on-track at Sunset Speedway, as OSCAAR has confirmed the Pure Stock Summer Shootout will be added to the event on Sunday, August 8.
As previously announced, OSCAAR will be hosting their Queenston Chevrolet Buick GMC OSCAAR Modifieds and Knightworks Design OSCAAR Hot Rods at Sunset Speedway, with the event starting on August 8 at 2pm ET.
It will mark the third event of 2021 for the modifieds, as they look to replicate the magic from the pair of shows at Sunset in 2020 that saw competition and close racing throughout. Each race saw a different race winner, with Andy Kamrath winning the first one, followed by A.J. Emms in the second.
The Hot Rods will start off their year with back-to-back trips to Sunset, the first taking place on Sunday, July 25 with the modifieds and Ontario Super Late Model Series. Since their debut, the division has been known for close racing at Sunset with several drivers putting themselves in the conversation for the checkered flag. The September 2020 edition saw Tom Walters able to accomplish the feat.
The Pure Stock Summer Shootout added to the show on August 8 will be 40 laps long, utilizing qualifying heats and a consi race if needed to set the 24-car grid. For the drivers, it will pay $100 to start, and $500 to win.
Those interested in competing are encouraged to message Rich Schwartzenburg for more information and to pre-register for the event.
Be sure to keep up with OSCAAR by staying tuned to the series website at http://www.oscaar.ca. Also, make sure to “like” the official OSCAAR Racing Facebook page, while following both the Twitter and Instagram accounts (@OSCAARRacing) to keep up to date on everything you need to know.

Millgrove, Ontario – Despite thunderstorms throughout the province, Flamboro Speedway avoided all of the rain, except for a small delay, to get the full show in on Saturday night.
Late Models
Chris Howse started on pole for the first feature ahead of Kyle Steckly, Rick Burbridge, Kevin Albers, David Gallinger, Brett Rodwell, Coltin Everingham, and Jason Wood.
Steckly would grab the advantage on the opening lap ahead of Howse, with Albers up to third past Burbridge, Everingham, Gallinger, Rodwell, and Wood. The race’s lone caution came out on Lap 17 for Wood going around in turns one and two, with Everingham pulling into the pits a lap later.
Kyle Steckly led flag-to-flag for his first career victory ahead of Kevin Albers, Chris Howse, Rick Burbridge, and David Gallinger. Brett Rodwell finished sixth, with Coltin Everingham and Jason Wood failing to finish.
Rick Burbridge led the field to the green flag for the second feature ahead of Chris Howse, Kevin Albers, Kyle Steckly, David Gallinger, Brett Rodwell, and Coltin Everingham.
Albers grabbed the initial advantage at the front of the field ahead of Burbridge, Steckly, Howse, Gallinger, Everingham, and Rodwell. Unfortunately, Rodwell’s night got worse as he got into the turn one wall for the yellow flag on Lap 3. The restart saw Steckly moving up to second, before getting by Burbridge for the top spot on Lap 17.
Kyle Steckly picked up the checkered flag ahead of Rick Burbridge, Kevin Albers, Chris Howse, and Coltin Everingham. David Gallinger finished sixth, while Brett Rodwell did not finish, and Jason Wood failed to take the green flag.
Notably, after working through the night to fix damage sustained at Delaware Speedway on Friday night, J.R. Fitzpatrick saw his night end in practice as a result of motor issues.
From Kyle Steckly on his first win:
We had a great day at the track yesterday! We started out strong and had a good starting position for the first feature starting in second. I got the lead on the start and lead every lap on to win the feature. The second race wasn’t as easy as I had to start at the back of the field. But we made our way up to the front and got the lead bear the end of the race! It was a great night and I learned a ton again about passing and the cars. Thanks to all of you for your support. We will be testing and getting the car even better and be racing on august 7th.
Canadian Vintage Modifieds
The first feature would see Mike Westwood take the early lead ahead of John Karley, Quinton Murdoch, Joe Arsenault, Mike Podd, Jerrid Morphy, TJ Marshall, Rick WIlligar, and Mike Klotz. Karley would make a move for the top spot on Lap 5, but was unable to complete the pass, instead going around backwards.
Quinton Murdoch would take over the lead on Lap 7 with Arsenault looking to move into second. Unfortunately, that would not play out well for him, instead going around on the backstretch a lap later. That would allow Morphy to move up into second ahead of Marshall, Daryl Henwood, Podd, Westwood, Willigar, Klotz, and Arsenault. Klotz continued to move forward, passing Willigar for seventh on Lap 12. Karley would then head into the pits with issues eight laps later.
Quinton Murdoch led the rest of the way to score his first career victory ahead of Jerrid Morphy, TJ Marshall, Daryl Henwood, Mike Podd, Mike Westwood, Mike Klotz, Rick Willigar, Steve Murdoch, and Connor Ross.

Rick Willigar broke out to the early lead ahead of Westwood, Klotz, and Podd, as Henwood and Marshall battled for fifth ahead of Morphy. Unfortunately, close quarters at the front of the field would not end well, with both Westwood and Henwood going around on the frontstretch off of turn four on Lap 5.
The restart saw more problems, with Marshall stopping in turn two with an issue. The second attempt was clean, with Podd taking over the top spot ahead of WIlligar, Morphy, Arsenault, and Quinton Murdoch. Unfortunately, Karley ran into issues, heading pit side on Lap 7. The field would spread out mostly single-file, except for Henwood challenging Klotz for seventh on Lap 16, and completing the pass a lap later.

Super Stocks
The first feature on the night would Justin Collison score the victory over Carson Nagy, Paul Boundy, and Kelsey Lamont. David Rockwood failed to take the checkered flag.
The second feature did not start as Kelsey Lamont wanted, climbing the wall in turn one following a mechanical issue. Carson Nagy would lead the first eight laps, but was being hunted by Justin Collison most of those right on his tail. Collison made his move on Lap 9, taking over the top spot and cruising away for the win. Paul Boundy and David Rockwood finished third and fourth despite going around in turns one and two on the last lap, with Kelsey Lamont credited with fifth after failing to finish.
Notably, Austin Penney showed up to compete, but would suffer mechanical issues in practice.
Mini Stocks
Mike Hooper started on pole for the first feature ahead of Dylan Sharpe, Gillian Hils, Mike Gilmour, John Istead, Dale Millard, and Cole Quinton. The field would try to go green initially, but a passing shower would see them head pit side. They would return to the track once the speedway was dry, but without Millard in the field.
Sharpe would grab the early advantage bringing Hils through with him as Gilmour ran third ahead of Istead, Quinton, and Hooper. Gilmour’s strong run came to an end on Lap 7, with him going around for the quick spin. Dylan Sharpe cruised to the victory ahead of Gillian Hils, Cole Quinton, John Istead, Mike Gilmour, and Mike Hooper, with Dale Millard failing to take the checkered flag.
Mike Gilmour started on pole for the second feature ahead of Mike Hooper, John Istead, Cole Quinton, Gillian Hils, and Dylan Sharpe. Gilmour broke out to the early lead with Quinton moving up into second ahead of Sharpe, Hils, Hooper, and Istead.
Sharpe then took over the runner-up spot on Lap 3, before moving into the lead a lap later. Hils would follow through three laps later, with Gilmour spinning Quinton for the yellow flag on Lap 7. Sharpe got a good restart ahead of Hils, with Istead up to third. Quinton would make his way back up after the spin, looking to get by Istead for third. Unfortunately, contact would see Istead go around for the yellow flag with a couple laps to go.
Sharpe got a good restart, scoring the feature victory for his fourth checkered flag in a row at Flamboro Speedway. Gillian Hils finished second, followed by Mike Gilmour, John Istead, Cole Quinton, and Mike Hooper, with Dale Millard failing to take the green flag.
Pure Stocks
Scott Tonelli started on pole for the first feature ahead of Matt Longford, Bobby Mercer, Jordan Morris, Mark Thorne, Chase Mitchell, Eric Stewart, Nicole Stewart, Jimmy Hooper, Mark Lamont, Phil Givens, Kyle Lucas, Dale Lucas, Rick VanKleef, Alex Stewart, Reece Bourgeois, and Michael Neumeister.
The drop of the green flag saw a battle for the lead between Tonelli and Longford, with Morris moving into third ahead of Mercer and Thorne, as Mitchell and Eric Stewart battled for sixth. Longford would take over the top spot on Lap 5, with Mitchell into sixth. Stewart’s night got worse, as he headed pit side a lap later.
The battles continued throughout the field, with Kyle Lucas getting alongside Givens for seventh, unable to take the spot. Instead, Givens would get by Mitchell to move up to sixth.
At the front of the field, Morris was able to track down Longford for the top spot, getting alongside him on Lap 9. He would then complete the pass a lap later as Tonelli continued to run third ahead of Givens, Mercer, Thorne, Mitchell, Lucas, Hooper, and Dale Lucas. Mitchell would then challenge Thorne for sixth on Lap 17 and was able to complete the pass.
Jordan Morris cruised to the victory ahead of Matt Longford, Scott Tonelli, Phil Givens, and Bobby Mercer. Chase Mitchell placed sixth, followed by Kyle Lucas, Mark Thorne, Michael Neumeister, and Dale Lucas. Jimmy Hooper finished 11th, followed by Reece Bourgeois, Rick VanKleef, Alex Stewart, Mark Lamont, and Nicole Stewart, while Eric Stewart failed to finish.
Alex Stewart started on pole for the second feature ahead of Reece Bourgeois, Jimmy Hooper, Dale Lucas, Mark Thorne, Chase Mitchell, Bobby Mercer, Phil Givens, Scott Tonelli, Matt Longford, Jordan Morris, Matt Lamont, Nicole Stewart, Eric Stewart, Michael Neumeister.
Bourgeois grabbed the top spot on the opening lap ahead of Dale Lucas, with Stewart battling Kyle Lucas for third. Givens would take them three-wide, getting the spot on Lap 3, bringing Morris and Hooper through with him. It’d then get a little crazy, with Alex Stewart, Kyle Lucas, Thorne, and Mitchell going four-wide for sixth.
Bourgeois would continue to lead, but now ahead of Givens as he moved into second ahead of Morris and Dale Lucas. Things would get interesting at the front of the field on Lap 6, with a three-wide battle for the lead. Morris would emerge out front ahead of Givens, Bourgeois, Dale Lucas, Kyle Lucas, Hooper, Mitchell, and Tonelli. Langford would then challenge Tonelli for eighth on Lap 11, with contact occurring as Langford stopped in turn three a lap later.
The restart would see Dale Lucas go around in turns one and two following contact, with somehow everybody avoiding him and he missing the outside wall. There’d be no caution as Givens led ahead of Morris, Kyle Lucas, Bourgeois, Mitchell, and Thorne. Lamont continued to move forward, getting by Thorne for sixth on Lap 15. Tonelli would try to follow him through, instead making contact with Thorne, resulting in Thorne hitting the outside turn three wall.
The restart would see some contact, resulting in both Hooper and Bourgeois going around in turns one and two. Jordan Morris, meanwhile, did a really good job, and was able to snag the lead, pacing the field the rest of the way for the daily double. Phil Givens finished second, followed by Kyle Lucas, Matt Lamont, and Michael Neumeister.
Chase Mitchell placed sixth, followed by Matt Langford, Eric Stewart, Scott Tonelli, and Bobby Mercer. Alex Stewart finished 11th, followed by Nicole Stewart, and Jimmy Hooper. Reece Bourgeois, Mark Thorne, and Dale Lucas failed to finish, while Rick VanKleef did not take the green flag.
The next event at Flamboro Speedway is scheduled for July 31, featuring the Canadian Vintage Modifieds, Super Stocks, Mini Stocks, Pure Stocks, and the Pro 4 Modifieds. Due to COVID restrictions, the kid’s ride program portion of the event has been postponed until the province moves into Stage 4.
With the province moving into stage three of the COVID re-opening government plan, Flamboro Speedway is allowed to host 75% capacity in the grandstands. No tickets will be sold online, but rather available at the gate on a first come, first serve basis. The spectator gates will open at 5 pm with racing kicking off at 6:30 pm sharp.

June 25 2021
Millgrove, Ontario – With news that the province will move into Stage 2 as of June 30, Flamboro Speedway will be running the rest of the 2021 schedule as originally released, beginning with July 3.
The Millgrove, Ontario oval originally released their schedule for the fans back in the spring. Those who have been attending the speedway for years will be happy to hear that the fan favourites remain on the schedule, like Meet The Drivers Night, and the Flamboro Memorial & Fan Appreciation Corn Roast Night.
With the province moving into stage two, the speedway will be allowed to host up to 25% capacity, or 1500 fans per night. Fans will be required to fill out the COVID-19 screening form, preferably online, before attending any event. Payment will be accepted at the gate, with full details to be announced closer to next weekend.
For the drivers, it will be a regular points fund payout at season’s end. Beginning with July 3, it will be $50 for driver and car, and $40 per crew member.
The track’s core divisions are back on the calendar for 2021 – Pro Late Models, Super Stocks, Mini Stocks, Pure Stocks, Canadian Vintage Modifieds, and the Pro 4 Modifieds, each ready to offer their own dish of entertainment. With over 100 different competitors across the divisions last year, fans were thrilled by door-to-door side-by-racing racing on a weekly basis, producing several different feature winners.
Of note, the ever-popular Grisdale Triple Crown will once again be a feature statement on the schedule. The first of those already took place on June 19, with the additional 100-lap features scheduled for August 7 and October 3, with points given out by finishing position. The driver who has the most at the end of the final event will be crowned the 2021 Champion. The battle is expected to go right down to the wire, just like 2019 with Shae Gemmell edging out J.R. Fitzpatrick for the crown.
Although the core divisions always put on a show, the track is also proud to host several different touring divisions throughout 2020.
The APC Auto Parts United Late Models of Ontario Tour will make a pair of stops, alongside the APC Super Stock Series and the QuikWick T.Q. Can-Am Midgets.
Other touring classes that will make an appearance in 2021 include the Queenston Chevrolet Buick GMC OSCAAR Modifieds, Knightworks Design OSCAAR Hot Rods, Ontario Pro Challenge Series, Ontario Modified Racing Series, Ontario Sportsman Series, and the Outlaw Midgets.
As has become tradition, Flamboro Speedway will once again have a primary event during the year-end short track playoffs, with Frostoberfest, which is scheduled for October 2 and 3. The year-end event will have 10 features across 10 different classes, so it is bound to be packed with action from the drop of the initial green flag.
Saturday, October 2 will be sponsored by London Recreational Racing, with the OSCAAR Modifieds, OSCAAR Hot Rods, Mini Stocks, Ontario Legends Series and Ontario Pro Sprints in action.
On top of Sunday October 3 featuring the final round of the Grisdale Triple Crown, the Ontario Super Late Models will host their Don Biederman Memorial. The race card will also feature the Super Stocks, Outlaw Midgets, and Pure Stocks in action.
The 2021 schedule will then close out with the Halloween Enduro 250 on Saturday, October 16.
The full schedule once released, along with any other information you may inquire about, can be found on the track’s website at http://www.flamborospeedway.ca
