STOCKS: DELAWARE SPEEDWAY, APC / CANUSA ANNOUNCE 2005 PARTNERSHIP

DELAWARE, ON - A.P.C. (Automotive Parts Centres) and CANUSA Automotive Warehousing have confirmed a dynamic, wide-reaching partnership program with Delaware Speedway for 2005.

In addition to returning as title sponsor for the annual Labour Day Weekend CASCAR Super Series event (which will be promoted as the “A.P.C. 300”), the partnership includes another dynamic NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series event (June 17th), entitlement sponsorship for what will be known as the “A.P.C. Enduro” division, the fourth-straight season of entitlement sponsorship on the “CANUSA Eliminator” races and support of the track’s Junior Racing League.

“Working with the team from CANUSA and A.P.C. is an incredible privilege,” said Delaware Speedway General Manager Kevin Bulmer. “Not only are CANUSA and A.P.C. supporting our competitors at every level, they have been a top-tier marketing and business partner for Delaware Speedway. They are great people and we’re fortunate to have the opportunity to work with them.”

CANUSA Automotive Warehousing was established in 1981 as an undercar warehouse specializing in “Alternative Branded” exhaust systems and related components. Since then CANUSA has grown into a full-line warehouse distributor offering over 150 different product lines including undercar, underhood, chemicals, equipment and performance-related auto parts. A network of twenty-five enfranchised jobber part stores has been established under the banner Automotive Parts Centres (A.P.C.). A.P.C. stores are located throughout Southwestern and Central Ontario.

"Racing continues to be a core program for CANUSA Automotive through our Motorsports division,” said Steve Drake, Vice President of CANUSA Automotive Warehousing. “Our long association with Delaware Speedway has created a tremendous venue for racing entertainment for our customers, suppliers and the racing public in general. Again this year we are proud to be the lead sponsor for the A.P.C. 300 race on Labour Day weekend."
