PRO STOCK TOUR ROLLS TO RIVERSIDE FOR LUCAS OIL 100
(Halifax, NS, August 15, 2011) The Parts for Trucks Pro Stock Tour will make its final visit of the season to Riverside International Speedway on Saturday August 20th, for the Lucas Oil 100. The race will mark round 10 of twelve for the regional touring series. The defending champion of the Lucas Oil 100 is Donald Chisholm from nearby Antigonish, Nova Scotia. Chisholm drove a spirited race last August to hold off the close competition from his fellow Pro Stock drivers to take his first victory since 2004. One year and another victory later he returns looking for his third win in four races at his home track. Qualifying at the 1/3 mile, high banked oval, located in James River, NS, will start at 5:10 p.m. with the Atlantic Tiltload Time Trials; racing action is slated for 6:00 p.m.
Former series champion Wayne Smith (Timberlea, NS) enters Riverside International Speedway with the point lead after a third place run at the Atlantic CAT 250. Shawn Tucker (Fredericton, NB), who entered last weekend atop the standings now sits in second, just nine markers out of the championship spot, 1762 to 1753. Darren MacKinnon (Charlottetown, PE) returns to Riverside as the most recent winner at the Speedway as the third place point driver, 23 out of Smith for the lead. Air Show Atlantic winner John Flemming (Halifax, NS) has closed to within four points of MacKinnon with Kent Vincent (Crapaud, PE) completing the top five in the standings.
The Parts for Trucks Pro Stock Tour will be joined by the NAPA Sportsman Tour on Saturday as they will duke it out for 50-laps prior to the Lucas Oil 100. Frankie Fraser (Shubenacadie), who won the Dartmouth Dodge 100 at Scotia Speedworld last weekend enters competition as the point leader on the Sportsman Tour.
