Micks, who won the CASCAR championship in 1993, had a solid 2009 campaign in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series with two podiums, four top five’s and 10 top ten finishes, which was good enough for fifth place in the 2009 NCATS championship.

Dickies Canada has been a fixture in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series program for a long time, and I am excited that they have joined our effort.
Dickies Canada Vice President of Marketing, Bill McFarlane said the sponsorship with Kerry Micks was an ideal fit for the brand. “We are strong supporters of Canada’s NASCAR scene and partnering with Kerry and Beyond Digital means we get the exposure we want on a competitive team, while still leaving us the flexibly to be a race sponsor for the Dickies 200.” McFarlane was referring to the Dickies Canada Sponsored race to be held at the Mosport Speedway August 21st.
“That’s a big day for us because, in addition to the Dickies Canada 200, we will also be announcing the Dickies’ 2010 Canadian Worker of the Year, our third annual nationwide celebration of Canada’s working people,” said McFarlane.
