Thorold, Ontario (August 7)  There will be plenty of action on the track August 9th when CMH Sales and Leasing hosts the third and final Konzelmann Estate Winery Enduro Qualifier accelerated by Niagara College. 

Adding to the 5 division Lucas Oil Weekly Racing Series line up as well will be the annual Kid’s Club Meridian Credit Union Box Car Races.  

“It’s shaping up to be quite a night,” boasts (Merrittville GM) Erica Bicknell, “our 5 stock car divisions … the enduro … and the kid’s races … if there is a night not to miss this season – it’s this one!.” 

Kids wishing to enter the Box Car Races can find all the rules and regulations in the Meridian Credit Union Kids Club Section at www.merrittvillespeedway.com. 

“Whether they use one of the boxes from the track or their one of their own choice,” adds Club Director Beth, “we sure get some awesome entries every year … we’ll have 4 age groups and one entry will be picked as best of show!” 

CMH Sales and Leasing Night will also see the kick-off to the 2008 Raceline Radio 105.1 The River Super Fan Search. 

Race fans entering the Grandstands every week will receive a ballot which when filled out can be deposited at the Novelty Trailer for a draw that will see one ‘super fan’ win a pair of tickets to the Bank of America NASCAR Sprint Cup Race at the Lowes Motor Speedway in Charlotte North Carolina this October.

In the first two Konzelmann Enduro Qualifiers accelerated by Niagara College, Jason Coutu (Zavitz Financial Strategies Night May 19th) and Tim McIntosh (Boltworks Piller’s $1 Hot Dog Night June 28th) each won with the two drivers making up the front row for the 100 that closes the season – Sunday September 7th. 

August 9th’s CMH Sales and Leasing Winner will start the 100 from third spot and should either of the Qualifier Winners win the 100 - Niagara College has accelerated their Victory by $200. 

“Niagara College continues to be # 1 in student satisfaction,” boasts (Merrittville Speedway GM) Erica Bicknell, adding, “and we are thrilled they are accelerating our Enduros.” 

Should none of the three drivers come home #1 in the big event – the $200 will still be given away via a draw of starting positions. 

“Preregistering now takes on a whole new meaning,” reveals Bicknell, “anyone that enters by September 1st – will be eligible for a chance at one of four $50 bonuses.”

Niagara College is in its unprecedented fourth consecutive number-one ranking in overall student satisfaction among all Ontario colleges.

“Our Enduros attract all kinds,” relates (GM) Erica Bicknell, “ drivers with no experience … some that have run this type of event before and even some of our regular Saturday Night competitors … but in the end it’s more survival than experience that counts.”
