TORONTO, ON – Voting for the fifth annual Inside Track Readers’ Choice Awards, presented by Castrol commenced today. Canadian motorsport fans can go to www.insidetracknews.com and vote online for who they feel were Canada’s top racers of 2006 (Or click here to go directly to the voting site).
As ‘Canada’s Source for Motorsports,’ one of Inside Track Motorsport News’ core mandates is the promotion of Canadian motorsports. The Readers’ Choice Awards are a key component of the magazine’s commitment to shine a bright light on this country’s current and future stars.
Visitors to the Inside Track website will find a list of nominees for most of the 10 categories, representing various popular forms of racing in Canada. At the bottom of each category, there is room for a ‘write-in’ vote to allow voters to cast ballots for non-nominated racers.
The categories include Racer of the Year and Up and Coming Racer of the Year awards for Stock Cars, Road Racing and Motorcycles. As well, Inside Track readers will identify Racer of the Year winners for Drag Racing, Rallying and Karting.
They will also have an opportunity to vote for the Canadian Racer of the Year Participating at the Highest Levels of International Competition, as well as to select an Overall Canadian Racer of the Year. Finally, voters will be polled as to who they believe is Most Deserving of Induction into the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame.
“We’re excited about the Fifth Annual Inside Track Readers’ Choice Awards presented by Castrol. This program has been embraced by our readers who want to do their part to promote and recognize Canada’s top current and future racers,” said Inside Track Editor-in-Chief Greg MacPherson. “We are honoured to have Castrol return as the presenting sponsor of the Awards. And we also want to recognize the support of the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame. The Hall has incorporated several Readers’ Choice Award winners into their recent induction gala celebrations.”
All voting for the “Castrol Presents the Inside Track Readers’ Choice Awards” will be conducted via a controlled balloting procedure at the official Inside Track website (www.insidetracknews.com). The polls will remain open until midnight on Thursday, May 31, 2007. The results of the readers’ selections will be announced shortly afterward.
Previous Overall Canadian Racer of the Year winners include CASCAR driver Steve Robblee (2002), former Champ Car champion Paul Tracy (2003), and ALMS and 24 Hours of Le Mans GT1-class winner Ron Fellows (2004, 2005).
