Black Rock Speedway Next For BRP CanAm Series Tour
…Rare Sunday Date…
St Catharines, ONT…The Bicknell Racing Products (BRP) CanAm Series Tour will be headed to Black Rock Speedway on Sunday June 16 for event number three of 2013 Tour.
Black Rock owner / promoter, Dean Hoag, comes up with many different programs for the Yates County race track. This time it is a rare Sunday date.
Hoag shares, “There is a very popular Cruisin’ Night car show and parade of cars in Penn Yan on Friday night (June 14). That is an annual event that typically attracts many of our race fans. They block off the main street and typically attract over 200 classic and antique cars for a gala affair. Rather than run our program against Cruisin’ Night and share fans we decided to take advantage of the Sunday Father’s Day date. We will take Friday night off and have a display at Cruisin’ Night. Hopefully, a lot of families will help dad celebrate with an afternoon at Black Rock Speedway. They can go to the car show on Friday and the car races on Sunday. The way I see it everybody wins.”
The Friday night Penn Yan car show is sponsored by the Yates County Chamber of Commerce. In recognition of the partnership on the dates they will also be the title partner of the BRP CanAm Tour event.
John Waters, the 2012 Black Rock late model champion, will lead the Tour to Dundee. Waters is two for two on the Tour, but struggling in Series weekly event competition.
Waters won the Tour opener at Woodhull in April and Tour event #2 at Little Valley last month. On the flip side he has two DNFs and a runner-up finish in the three weekly events at Black Rock so far.
It is too early to be thinking seriously of points, but the $5000 carrot out there for the 2013 BRP CanAm champion is on the minds of some. Currently John Waters leads with 200 over a tie for second between Glenn Whritenour and Jeremy Wonderling 20 points back. Bruce Miller, the defending Series Champion, stand fourth with 163 points.
In Douglas B. Miles Insurance (MilesAgency.com) Rookie of the Year competition Jay McConnell leads Ray Bliss 122 Vs 97. There is a lot of racing between now and when the $1000 check will be presented after the ISKY Cams Championship event on September 21.
Penn Yan’s Main Street will be closed at 4:00 on Friday with registration at 5:00 when the cars fill the street.
