The new sponsor for the thunder car division is X-COPPER Legal Services Inc.

"St. Onge Recreation is going to continue to play a major role in the track, so this is a huge win for us." - Brad Moran

Maybe the possible name change is what Mr. Moran is referring to in his statement?

I personally don't like the name. But I've heard Steve St. Onge purchased a piece of land behind Burls Creek and may be building a drag strip and snow cross track. If all these things eventually come together, the name "St.Onge Recreation Speedway Park" would make a lot of sense.

Can't believe they're ditching a recognizable name like Barrie Speedway.

@ Thread Starter

It aint official 'till it's official.

We'll see what transpires at the practice this weekend.

Performance news has an exclusive story. I hear there is going to be a new tower and electronic scoreboard there as well. Barrie is going to be the place to be this year. The rest are left in the dust.....

Good to hear. It's about time they got that old tower replaced.

Another TV contract would be nice as well.

Wrong. Ward is doing the Busch race on Saturday, so he can't make it. I'd look for Pete Shepherd, to be honest....
