CAN-AM MIDGETS AND LUCAS OIL START 10TH SEASON
The Can-Am Midgets will start their 10th season of partnership with Lucas Oil in 2014, President Ken Lorenz announced recently. "Having Lucas Oil by our side for the past nine years has elevated our name in the racing community with our fans and track promoters alike. It is an honor to combine our exciting style of open-wheel racing with the name recognition and quality products that Lucas Oil provides" said Lorenz.
Tom Bogner, Motorsports Manager for Lucas Oil said "Lucas Oil is very proud to return after 9 rewarding seasons with all of you. The Can-Am Midget Association and the many racers involved have done a great job helping to grow our Lucas Oil brand. We have also further developed our Racing Oils as a result of the needs of your racers. We wish you all a very safe, rewarding year of racing."
With the 2014 schedule set in motion, the Lucas Oil Can-Am Midgets will travel from Grand Bend Speedway to the west in Ontario, Canada to Peterborough Speedway in the east. A total of 15 races at 6 different tracks allows the Lucas Oil Can-Am Midgets to showcase their unique brand of highly competitive drivers in quick open-wheel TQ Midgets. The highlight of the season will again be at Sunset Speedway on Saturday, August 16th as the Lucas Oil Can-Am Midgets have been invited to return as the support division for the ISMA Supermodified show that night.
The season again begins at Flamboro Speedway on May 10th with a one race each month at that speedplant for a total of 5 exciting shows for the fans. The 2014 Champion will be crowned at Flamboro Speedway on Saturday, September 20th as the past has proven that it will likely again come down to the last lap in that last race. There will be a total of 3 races at Sunset Speedway, 3 at Sauble Speedway, 2 at Grand Bend Speedway and one (1) each at Peterborough Speedway and Barrie Speedway.
Mack DeMan is up for the challenge to be a second time Champion in 2014, taking the title over Rob Neely at the last race in 2013. Neely kept in shape over the winter by racing indoors in Atlantic City and Trenton, New Jersey with good results and is ready to challenge for his 3rd Championship. Other competitors stepping up their game includes 3rd place point's finisher Adrian Stahle, 2013 Rookie of the Year Adam Racine, Corey Moesker, Todd Cresswell, David Balych, Barry Dunn, Tyler Turnbull, and Darren McLennan. Also returning in 2014 will be Dylon Smith, Tom Kyle, Rob DiVenanzo, Jeff Blackburn, Chris Bauman, Ryan Fraser plus a few new Rookies as well.
The Lucas Oil Can-Am Midgets are getting prepared for their 49th season of racing, as their fans also prepare to travel the roads throughout Ontario to see some of the best open-wheel competition in the region. Check out the 2014 schedule and we'll see you at the track.
