Third Attempt For Brock Young Memorial
...Now Saturday August 16 At Woodhull...
St Catharines, ON...After the rain outs at Little Valley Speedway in early July and again in late July at Woodhull Raceway the Bicknell Racing Products (BRP) CanAm Series will try again this Saturday (August 16) to complete the 12th annual Brock Young Memorial.
"As previously shared when the event was first rained out this important event needs to be completed. The Young family and Ted White, owner and promoter of Woodhull Raceway, have set the new date for Saturday August 16. This date works since we already had it on the tour schedule when Raceway 5 is closed," shares Gary Montgomery, BRP CanAm Series director.
The Brock Young Memorial event was first run in 2003 to honor the life of Brock Young, a BRP CanAm driver who died in a 2002 highway accident. Since then, the event has taken on added importance as it honors Roxie Young, Brock’s mother, who died of cancer in 2009. Brock’s father, Dick, brothers AJ and Kyle, and sister Kari all work to carry on this memorial event.
Eight drivers have earned a Brock Young Memorial trophy and the $1422 check from the eleven events completed to-date. The defending race champion is Bruce Miller who has won the event for the past three years. Other winners of Brock's race include Bryce Davis (2010), Steve Dixon (2009), Darren Kish (2005), Larry Knowles (2007), Rich Michael, Jr (2006), Todd Rice (2003), and Jeremy Wonderling (2004 and 2008).
For the race teams, the event has special meaning for those that know the Young family. Of course, the $1422 and winner's trophy are special also.
As a result of three rain outs and the cancellation of two BRP CanAm tour events at Raceway 5 the planned ten event tour is now down to five and it is crunch time for the teams competing for the 2014 BRP CanAm point fund. Brock's race and the ISKY Cams Championship on Saturday September 20 are all that remain. Of course, BRP CanAm Series weekly racing continues at Freedom Speedway on Friday nights and the teams head for either Raceway 5 or Woodhull Raceway on Saturdays where those that compete on the tour earn home track bonus points.
Woodhull Raceway gates will open at 4:30 on Saturday July 19 for race action at 6:30. Details at
