Fredericton , NB – Forecast looks good. Drivers are ready. Fans are anxious. And NBIS management is just relieved…almost. After a month of endless rain showers it’s a good bet that NBIS will open their season this coming Saturday night with the Martin’s Home Heating Sportsman 100. There will be regular points racing in the Pro Stock and Coast Tire Street Stock Divisions. Green flag drops at 7pm.
“After the last month I’ll believe it when I see the first lap, but it’s a decent forecast with sun, the best we’ve had in a long time,” said co-owner Chris Johnston, “Barring a nasty swing in the weather, we’ll be on the oval this weekend.”
This is a welcome respite from poor weather which has caused a record four consecutive event cancellations, five if the practice that was actually postponed twice is included. Practice eventually took place on May 14th – the only time that NBIS has hit the pavement this season.
What a way to start off the season, too. Fans who are anxious to get their racing fix and see some live racing, will be at the right place in the Geary woods on Saturday night. NBIS will host the first major race of the season as the popular sportsman class will go 100 laps on the 1/3 mile high banked oval with the high powered CARQUEST Pro Stocks (40 lap feature) and wild and woolly Coast Tire Street Stocks (20 lap feature) starting their championship points races.
Pit gates will open at 1pm to give drivers extra time for pre-season technical inspection and additional practice time. Fans and drivers looking for additional information or updates should call 506-454-RACE (7223).
