Thorold, Ontario (May
1) – Merrittville Speedway’s 57th Season is less than
57 hours away and one team that is looking to make
quite an impression in the Global Warranty Corporation
Event is that of Team Kendrick.
Kendrick is part of
the team owned by his family – his brother Darren and
their father Wayne.
“We’ve been trying to
put the pieces together for a few seasons,” relates
Kendrick, adding, “thanks to Global Warranty
Corporation and Strickland Automart … for all they
have done.”
Global Warranty
Corporation is the leading North American independent
warranty provider with more than 4000 dealers and a
million customers across Canada and several US States
– a market that is expanding.
Global Warranty
Corporation meets and exceeds the needs of today’s
drivers by providing the ULTIMATE in DRIVING
PROTECTION for both Automotive and RV owners.
All new TITANIUM Star
Series Plans offer many levels of coverage from basic
to complete bumper to bumper packages.
For further
information call 1-800 265-1519 from 9 AM to 5 PM EST,
log on to www.globalwarrantycorporation.com or visit
with representatives Saturday May 3rd at Merrittville
Speedway when the gates open at 5:30.
Some two months ago we
learned of the new three car team and how Todd
Kendrick was very much looking forward to his first
event as an L. St. Amand Enterprises 358 Modified
Rookie in the Baron Roofing Spring Sizzler 100 and the
car did end up having good results.
In it’s first event it
ran to a second place finish in the 358 Mod Super
DIRTcar Series Opener but it was 2007 Series Runner-up
Danny O’Brien behind the wheel.
“We were very pleased
with the job Danny did when we were asked to help him
out,” revealed Todd, “we felt it would be a great
thing for our race team … and he didn't disappoint.”
Although Kendrick may
have been let down somewhat from not being in the big
event he admits, “I am and will always be on the
lookout for what is best for our race team and
sponsors … I have a lot to learn and the 100 lapper
may not have been the right time to try to figure
things out.”
“We’re thrilled to
welcome Global Warranty Corporation,” revealed (Merrittville
GM) Erica Bicknell, “not only to our first full card
of the year … but to Kendrick Racing as well … they
are excited about their team and the night … it’s says
a lot about our sport for a company of their stature
to have made such an impact so quickly.”
In 2008, Tim Jones has
reunited with the family-owned Kendrick Race Team for
a Three Car effort that also includes Scott George and
the Jones and George cars are both sponsored by Global
Warranty Corporation. The two used the 100 lapper as a
shakedown of their brand new BRP Cars and are hoping
to be on the mark Saturday May 3rd.
All 5 divisions will
kick off the first point events of the 57th Season
when the Lucas Oil Open Wheel Lites and Turn 4
Collision 4 Cylinder Divisions join the race card in
addition to the Hoosier Stocks and Original Pizza Logs
Sportsman.
The Meridian Credit
Union Kids Club will also kick off its new season with
Registration Night as the younger race fans also
prepare for another activity-packed season.
Your local Dirt Track
is where it’s at and it’s at Merrittville Speedway .
Join us this season on
a Saturday Night for A DIRT WEEKLY RACING SERIES EVENT
featuring FIVE Weekly Racing Divisions featuring local
heroes and up-coming new stars or one of our many
