Thorold, Ontario ( February 17) About one month prior to putting it into drive for another year - Race Cars representing all 5 of the Thorold Track’s Lucas Oil Weekly Racing Series Divisions will be on display in Welland’s Seaway Mall for a week long run in support of the Welland Food Drive – March 15th to 20th.
With the first green flag set to fly on the 2010 Season April 24th - one Seaway Mall Shopper will not miss a single event after winning the ultimate prize package - a 2010 Grandstand Season Pass.
“We are really touched by the Speedway’s support,” relayed Welland Food Drive Director Monique Finley, “while we are focused on our annual event … our charities need our help year round and sometimes … it’s as easy as just one more thing.”
Between now and the Seaway Mall Race Car Show – Merrittville Speedway is challenging it’s race teams and race fans alike to buy just one more thing each time they go grocery shopping … collect it and bring it in when they come to see some of the new cars on display.
As part of the Speedway’s 59th season and in conjunction with the Welland Food Drive, shoppers making a donation of non-perishable food items at the Merrittville Display during race week will receive a ballot for entry into the Grandstand Pass Giveaway.
From all the ballots collected during the week, one lucky winner will be chosen to win the Grand Prize of a 2010 Merrittville Speedway Grandstand Season Pass. The prize is valued at $275.00.
Donations of any quantity however will enter you into the draw.
“We are thrilled to partner with the Mall providing race fans from across the Region an opportunity to meet some of their favorite drivers and to get a first-hand look at their race cars … all in support of such a worthy cause,” said Erica Bicknell, GM of Merrittville Speedway. “This year marks our 59th season, so what better way to treat our fans than with an up-close race experience in an intimate setting … we’re hoping that everyone will do their part for the Welland Food Drive as well,” she added.
