BRP CanAm Late Models Headed To Five Mile Point
…Big East Tour For AR Cup Begins Saturday
Kirkwood, NY…The Bicknell Racing Products (BRP) CanAm Series Tour heads to Five Mile Point Speedway in Kirkwood, NY this Saturday (May 11).
Saturday’s event marks the first ever BRP CanAm late model event at the Harpell family’s historic speedway.
The event will also be the first of the three event Big East Tour for the American Racer Cup for late models. The Big East Tour begins at Five Mile Point Speedway on Saturday. Event number two is set for Friday June 21 at Penn Can Speedway in Susquehanna, PA. I-88 Speedway in Afton, NY will host the third and final event of the Big East Tour on Wednesday July 24.
Fred Woodward, President of Lias Tire, recently announced that to help the BRP CanAm race teams with the travel expenses of the Big East Tour that Lias Tire will provide an American Racer tire to the top ten drivers for that three race AR Cup mini-series.
The 2013 Tour opened at Woodhull two weeks ago where John (Hot) Waters defeated Bruce (Thriller) Miller with Jeremy (Mr. Excitement) Wonderling completing the podium finishers. No surprises there since Waters won seven BRP Tour events last year and finished second to Miller for the 2012 Series championship. Wonderling, the 2011 Series champion, finished third in the standings last year. Further, each of those drivers have scored Series weekly event wins in the early season. Waters and Wonderling have Woodhull weekly wins. Bruce Miller won the season opener at Black Rock last week.
Others from the Woodhull top ten that are delighted for the opportunity to visit a new Victory Lane are Glenn Whritenour, Brian Knowles, Steve LeBarron, Brady Wonderling, Jay McConnell, Clint Button, and Jason Knowles.
Series history will be made on Saturday night since the event will be on new turf. With one exception none of the others expected on Saturday night have ever raced at FMP and few have ever even seen the track. The exception, Ray (Zeke the Streak) Bliss, a BRP CanAm Rookie has raced his modified at the Point a few times in prior years.
Make a point to be at the Point where history will be made. Racing action begins at 6:00 on Saturday. Information at
