For Release   - Sunday May 4, 2008 From Jim Irvine      Merrittville Speedway Public Relations     905-892-8266 

Thorold, Ontario (May 4) – The three car L. St. Amand Enterprises 358 Modified Kendrick Racing Team was hoping to make quite a splash at Merrittville Speedway Saturday May 3rd. 

As a first time race team sponsor of Tim Jones and Scott George, Global Warranty Corporation was set to make a splash of their own with plenty of giveaways as sponsors of the Thorold showplace’s 57th consecutive season opener. 

There were plenty of splashes all right – as all afternoon rains postponed the first full point night of 2008 for the 5 DIRTcar Weekly Racing Series Divisions. 

“We were looking forward to welcoming 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 were real excited about their team and the night … we hope to announce a new date in the very near future for the leading North American warranty provider.” 

Also delayed was the 2008 Registration Night for the Meridian Credit Union Kids Club. 

That event for the younger race fans will now join the Pen Centre presentation of Canadian Tire Financial Services Employee Night – Saturday May 10th.  

The Lucas Oil Open Wheel Lites will be featured in the opening round of the Mod Lite Championship Tour North Series in addition to regular events for the L. St. Amand Enterprises 358 Modifieds, Original Pizza Logs Sportsman, Hoosier Stocks and Turn 4 Collision 4 Cylinders plus an Open Wheel Mechanics Race. 

Grandstand Gates will open at 5:30 with Showtime set for the new time of 7:00 PM. For further information call 905-892-8266 or visit www.merrittvillespeedway.com

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 special events! .
