DELAWARE, ON - The CSRA Pro Snowcross at Delaware Speedway has been rescheduled and will run on Saturday, February 12 and Sunday, February 13. Any tickets already purchased are good for the rescheduled date.
In other Delaware news, the track has released its 2005 tentative event dates. The schedule features a variety of racing, centered around the track’s four weekly divisions, the Cintas Late Models, POWERADE® Modifieds, Kendall Motor Oil Street Stocks and Challenger Motor Freight Trucks.
Scott Lindsay of St. Marys will begin defense of his NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series track championship with the Cintas Late Models on Opening Day; Saturday, April 23. Last year, Lindsay won the first-ever NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series championship in Canada by just 12 points over track legend, Steve Robblee of Dorchester, who was second. Lindsay finished fourth overall in the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series Heartland Region (won by Andy Bozell from Kalamazoo Speedway in Michigan) and was honoured for the achievement at a banquet in Nashville, Tennessee last October.

New for the Cintas Late Model division drivers this season is the addition of the Lucas Oil Weekend Warrior Series, a competition and promotional partnership between Ontario race tracks spearheaded by Lucas Oil and Paxton Motorsports Marketing. Delaware Speedway Cintas Late Model drivers will have the chance to compete for an additional $51,000.00 in point fund rewards by continuing to run weekly at their home track. They may also race at other facilities in the program, such as Kawartha Speedway and Flamboro Speedway. In turn, Late Model drivers from Kawartha and Flamboro will be encouraged to participate at Delaware when their schedule allows.
Purses have been raised for all Delaware Speedway weekly divisions. Other changes for 2005 include 50-lap (minimum) Cintas Late Model feature races and 25-lap weekly POWERADE® Modified feature races. The Enduro division will feature its top drivers in a new all-star-style race on Saturday, September 3, as part of the Great Canadian Race Weekend.
Additional details about individual events are yet to be announced. Each weekly division will run some unique events, such as longer races or the occasional invitational race. These details will be announced as they are confirmed.
The CASCAR Super Series will return for its two traditional dates, on the Victoria Day Weekend in May and the Labour Day Weekend in September.
Groups returning to Delaware Speedway in 2005 include the Auto Value Super Sprints (May 20), Canadian Vintage Modifieds (June 10) and the Shouldice Stone Alstar Late Model Super Series (July 22). None of those three series have run at Delaware Speedway in the last two years.
New to Delaware Speedway in 2005 is the Lincoln Welders ARCA Truck Series, who will run as part of an “all-truck night” (the Challenger Motor Freight Trucks will also be in the lineup) on Friday, July 29. Another new twist is the addition of a Demolition Derby on Saturday, October 1, the first day of the two-day Enduro Nationals weekend.
Advanced tickets for specific events will go on sale shortly. 2005 Season Passes are now available.
Delaware Speedway’s Junior Racing League will begin its season on Wednesday, June 1. The Junior Racing League runs each Wednesday night throughout the summer, and will conclude its season with championship races on Friday, August 26. The Friday-night race will provide weekly race fans the opportunity to see the Junior Racing League competitors (ages 8 to 17 years) race in their Wednesday-night format, using a track configuration that runs through the infield and uses the “big” track’s turn two and first half of the back straightaway.
