Following on the heels of Greenbush Race Park's popular Chad Olson Memorial, the Northern Shootout has the potential of being Southern Manitoba's most successful dirt track racing event this season. The 2013 Chad Olson Memorial drew an impressive 19 Lighting Sprint teams.

Think this is going to be just another race?  Better think again.  August 11th will feature a $2,500.00 purse with $1000.00 going to the winner.  All competitors will go through time trials. There will also be a pole dash.

Morden's popular oval dirt track is the perfect setting for such an event. Wide open spaces with plenty of room for everyone. The staff at ALH Motor Speedway always welcomes it's racers and reflects the friendly in 'Friendly Manitoba'.  Sunday evening racing should help draw teams who will be racing just across the line at Devil's Lake Speedway on Saturday, August 10th.

A post-race pit party, live entertainment and pork barbecue are all being planned as part of this great evening of racing.

Lightning Sprint time trials begin at 3:30 PM.  Racing starts at 4:00 PM.

Fellows will drive the No. 5 Chevrolet Camaro SS and carry primary branding from AER Manufacturing, a world leader in engine remanufacturing for the past 60 years.  AER has sponsored Fellows in previous NASCAR ventures – including last year at Road America – and has backed Fellows in the Trans Am Series and American Le Mans Series since 1990.

"We're thrilled to have Ron back in a JR Motorsports Chevrolet for the sixth consecutive year," said Earnhardt Miller.  "Ron is a fierce competitor to watch and a tremendous talent who isn't satisfied with anything less than victory.  As always, he'll bring a wealth of experience and knowhow to our road course program at Mid-Ohio." 

A former winner for JRM, Fellows was victorious in the No. 5 Chevrolet on Aug. 2, 2008, at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal.  He holds four career Nationwide Series wins, earning three at Watkins Glen International.  Along with those victories, Fellows has 12 top-fives, 15 top-10s and two poles in only 24 career starts.

"I'm extremely grateful to Dale Jr., Kelley and my friends at AER Manufacturing for helping put this program together," Fellows said. "As a racer, anytime you can get in the type of equipment that JRM offers, you expect good things.  If our past success is any indication, I think we have a great chance of ending up in victory lane at Mid-Ohio.  With the series heading there for the first time, it will be an exciting race for sure."

Fellows, a native of Windsor, Ontario, Canada, scored top-five finishes in each of his three starts for JRM.  His tally includes top-10 finishes in nine of 12 career races with JRM.  

A longtime sports car and road-racing veteran, Fellows is credited with three class championships in the American Le Mans Series, two class wins in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and 19 overall victories in the Sports Car Club of America's Trans-Am Series as a member of the Corvette Racing Team. His NASCAR credentials include six overall wins (two in the Camping World Truck Series), and two runner-up finishes in Sprint Cup competition.

"Wilson Equipment and our employees are delighted to be supporting Red Cross, a leader in disaster relief in our province and around the world." said Jim Wilson, President of Wilson Equipment. "It is a natural fit for us. Whether it is a flood or a fire, or any other natural or man-made large-scale incident the Canadian Red Cross responds immediately - and more often than not, heavy equipment is an integral part of the immediate response and clean-up."

A new event logo has been created integrating the new Wilson Equipment brand with the Red Cross Disaster Relief mark. The logo and rebranded event name will appear in event advertising and promotions over the next three weeks helping to raise awareness for the charitable service; on race day spectators will have the opportunity to visit with  Canadian Red Cross representatives to learn more about their services, as well as how they can help.

The disaster relief services provided by the Canadian Red Cross offer a layer of support for people during times of hardship and help give them the resources that they need to overcome challenges. With help from Canadians, the Canadian Red Cross is able to respond to emergencies and disasters wherever they strike and give assistance to those who need it most. To show your support for the Canadian Red Cross, and to make a difference in someone's life today, visit online at www.redcross.ca or in-person at your local Canadian Red Cross office. Each contribution can benefit people in the aftermath of crises and give them the ability to better prepare for future emergencies. 

Riverside International Speedway general manager Paul McLean is delighted with the new affiliation.

"We are proud to be part of bringing awareness to something as important as the Red Cross," said McLean. "It is great to have event sponsors that are as passionate about their communities as they are in their business. "

The Wilson Equipment 300 Supporting Red Cross Disaster Relief sees the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series makes its one and only annual visit east of Quebec to Riverside International Speedway. The August 17 date is a new slot on the series calendar for Riverside, with the six prior editions of the event (2007 to 2012) held in September. The earlier date should provide event more excitement for race fans with increased car count and easier access during summer vacation.

This will be Alex's first race in what is effectively the third rung in the NASCAR racing hierarchy, behind the leading Sprint Cup Series and the second rung Nationwide Series. This race will also mark the first race run by the NCWTS race trucks in Canada and their first race on a road course in 13 years.

According to team leader Jacques Guénette, "We have established a graduated path to allow Alex to learn his craft in progressively more powerful cars and competitive series. It is also logical to take advantage of races in an environment where he can apply his knowledge directly. A road race, in a good car with 150 more horsepower than what he is used to is the right choice, especially as he knows the track very well."

The team will practice in Sebring (FL), where several Indy Car and American Le Mans Series car also test. The track is close to the shop where transplanted Quebecer Mario Gosselin will prepare Alex's race truck, as well as the one that will be driven by NASCAR Canadian Tire Series (NCaTS) regular Martin Roy at the same event.

Alex is anticipating a long, hard weekend of work, as he will race in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series race, held on the same day as the Truck race.

"I know the track well and I am sure that Dave Jacombs will give me a great car for Canadian Tire race, so no problem there. The track is quick and not physically hard to drive in the Canadian Tire Car, at least nowhere as hard as on a short oval or a tight road course."

Alex added, "The truck race is a different matter, as they are significantly more powerful, and it will be our first time out in a race with the truck against a new set of drivers, so that will be more difficult.  We are covering all the bases in our preparation so I expect that we will do well in both events."

The No 29 Motos Illimitées/DLGL Dodge will race in the JuliaWine100.com NASCAR Canadian Tire Series race at next weekend's Grand Prix de Trois-Rivieres. Practice (10:50am) and qualifying (5pm) will take place on Saturday August 10, and the race will start at 3:30pm on Sunday August 11.

We caught up with third-generation driver Cayden Lapcevich (above, by Lisa Davidson) at Sunset Speedway on Sunday night, and asked all about his tumultuous, up and down weekend. 'The Prodigy' was involved in a late-race skirmish on Saturday night that absolutely destroyed his family-owned Super Stock, potentially ending his 2013 season. One night later, he hopped into Anthony Simone's Ltd. Late Model for his first career division start. We ask Cayden about the rest of the season, his experiences over the weekend, what he's learned so far and where he sees himself spending the rest of his summer.

Tagliani – a native of Lachenaie, Que. – got around the 1.53-mile street circuit in 67.080 seconds for an average speed of 82.111 mph. The time bettered the previous track record of 67.661 seconds (81.406 mph) set by Andrew Ranger in 2009 by over a half-second. It was the second pole win at the famed track for the IZOD IndyCar Series regular, having last earned the honor in 2009, and the fourth of his Canadian Tire Series career that will cover 16 starts. His last pole win in the series came in June 2011 at Circuit ICAR in Mirabel, Que.

Local Trois-Rivieres product Louis-Philippe Dumoulin – second in the series standings – was second fastest at 67.355 seconds (81.776 mph). He started from the pole at GP3R last season before finishing second to Ranger in the race.

Marc-Antoine Camirand earned the start in the Canadian Tire Series race by winning a Quebec Sportsman race on Friday night. The sports car-racing veteran with 20 GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series starts to his credit recorded the third-best time in qualifying at 67.376 seconds (81.750 mph). Camirand will make his first series start in Sunday's JuliaWine.com 100.

Former Formula One and IndyCar Series champion Jacques Villeneuve qualified fourth at 67.467 seconds (81.640 mph) followed by J.R. Fitzpatrick in fifth with a time of 67.576 seconds (81.508 mph).

Alex Labbe, Martin Roy, defending series champion D.J. Kennington, Kerry Micks and Alex Guenette rounded out the top 10.

Points leader Scott Steckly, who has won each of the last three series events, qualified 14th.

Each of the top-six qualifiers eclipsed Ranger's track record as cooler than normal weather kept the track temperature down.

The JuliaWine.com 100 is set to get underway on Sunday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. ET.

Following his much publicized Beat the Heat 150 victory at Sauble Speedway on August 4th, Late Model standout Shawn Chenoweth has confirmed he will return to Sauble, this time in a Ltd. Late Model, for tonight's Dash for Cash Invitational. The Ayr, ON driver currently leads the point standings in Flamboro Speedway's Pro Late Model division. Chenoweth won the Thunder Car edition of the Dash for Cash event in 2012, and will enter tonight's invitational in search of his first career Sauble LLM triumph.

Here's our interview with Sunset Speedway Ltd. Late Model regular Gary Elliott (above, by Thompson Photography). 'The Ironman' offers us a preview of tonight's Dash for Cash event at Sauble, talks about his on-going 'Race 2500' contest and the upcoming Gold Rush 100 event at Flamboro Speedway that will see NASCAR regular Kenny Wallace pilot Elliott's familiar #36. The interview, in its entirety, can be found here

2-time Autumn Colours Classic champion Shaun McWhirter has confirmed he will make his first Late Model start in almost two seasons at tonight's Dash for Cash event. The Mount Forest, ON veteran will pilot his own Streamline Race Products house car (above, by Thompson Photography) for the first time, filling in for regular house driver Andy Kamrath. We caught up with McWhirter this weekend and asked for his preview of the invitational, how he's looking to return to the speedway he cut his teeth at and what drivers he's looking forward to competing with. Click here for the 1 on 1 chat.

Third-generation Mini Stock star Samantha Shaw has confirmed via her @81Shaw Twitter account that she will be in competition at Sauble's Dash for Cash event. The Guelph, ON driver has never won a feature event outside of her Flamboro Speedway base, and will compete alongside Sauble frontrunners Kevin Bridge, Kevin Paupst and Kyle Jackson. Gate times and ticket prices for the event can be found at www.SaubleSpeedway.ca

Here's a look at what was left of 'Cowboy' Dan Price's 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air after a mid-race tussle at Peterborough Speedway on Saturday (August 10th). Price was racing for the lead in the Thunder Car feature when an incident involving a lapped car turned the veteran in front of the field. Surprisingly, Price has announced via his Facebook page that the damage was not as severe as originally feared, and after an extensive amount of work through the week, he expects to return to competition this weekend. In addition, Price will donate the damaged door of his car to a silent auction to benefit breast cancer research, organized by his brother and fellow racer Donovan Price, this Saturday at Peterborough Speedway.

The Dutton, Ont., driver took the lead on Lap 295 of the 300 lap event from Scott Steckly, who won the pole position earlier in the day, and survived strong competition from defending series champion D.J. Kennington and Steckly to earn his second career series win. His previous best finish at the track was fifth, achieved in the 2010 Antigonish event.

Kennington narrowly missed his second win of the season by just .342 seconds, settling instead for a second-place finish. Steckly finished third for his fourth consecutive top-five finish at Riverside. Mark Dilley and Martin Roy rounded out the top five.

Seventeen-year-old rookie Alex Guenette recorded his fourth top 10 of the season with a sixth place finish while Donald Chisholm, Noel Dowler, Hugo Vannini and Trevor Seibert completed the top-10 finishers.

The victory was a present for car owner Ed Hakonson, who was celebrating his 64th birthday on Saturday. Hathaway's last series win came in the Sept. 2008 season finale at Kawartha Speedway near Peterborough, Ont.

The race was slowed due to caution six times for a total of 52 laps and the race lead changed hands seven times among six drivers.

In the championship point standings with just three races to go in the season Steckly maintains a four-point advantage on Kennington while Hathaway closed to within just 10 points of the leader.

The Wilson Equipment 300 will premiere on TSN at 1 p.m. ET on Sun. Aug. 25 and on RDS2 at 7 p.m. ET on Fri., Sept. 13.

Tucker's #52 Rockico Equipment Limited Chevrolet crossed the line first over Jonathan Hicken (Brudenell, PE) and Exide Batteries Rookie Dylan Blenkhorn (Truro, NS), who scored his first career podium on the Tour. Completing the top five in the Parts for Trucks 150 were Prince Edward Island's Darren MacKinnon (Charlottetown) and Dylan Gosbee (Cornwall).

Enfield's Shawn Turple took the lead from the start and held it until just after the halfway point to earn him the Linde Most Laps Led Award. Cole Butcher rocketed his car ahead the most positions to sixth spot earning him the Absolute Traffic Hard Charger Award.
