CARQUEST Pro Stock Tour Heads to 660 for the Parts for Trucks 100



(Halifax, NS, June 22, 2010) The CARQUEST Pro Stock Tour is heading to New Brunswick for the first time this season. Speedway 660, located just outside of Fredericton, will host the Parts for Trucks 100 on Saturday July 24th. Saturday’s event will be round five of eleven for the regional touring series. After an amazing display at the IWK 250 last weekend, the warriors of the CARQUEST Pro Stock Tour are ready for battle again this Saturday at the 1/3 mile oval. Qualifying for the Parts for Trucks 100 feature will get underway at 6:10 pm with Atlantic Tiltload Time Trials. Racing is slated to start at 7:00 pm.

The Parts for Trucks 100 is the first of only two visits to the Geary NB track this season for the CARQUEST Pro Stock Tour. The Tour has a stellar line-up of talent hailing from New Brunswick, including former Champion Shawn Tucker of Fredericton, up-and-comer Mike Stevens of Riverview and former tour regular, Lonnie Sommerville of Saint John, just to name a few. Although these locals will be looking to impress in front of a hometown crowd, these New Brunswick boys will have their work cut out for them as 25 other talented drivers want nothing more than to steal their glory.

The Parts for Trucks Challenge enters round two of four this weekend. The Parts for Trucks Challenge is a contingency program (bonus money) in which drivers accumulate points based on their finishing positions in each of the four Parts for Trucks sponsored races. John Flemming (Halifax, NS) currently leads the PFT Challenge standings, followed closely by Jonathan Hicken (Brudenell, PE) just three markers behind. Shawn Turple (Enfield, NS), Greg Proude (Springvale, PE) and Craig Slaunwhite (Terence Bay, NS) round out the current top five.

In addition to Pro Stocks, fans will also see 20 laps of feature racing from the Leisure Family RV.com Street Stocks, and 30 laps of action courtesy of the Martins Home Heating Sportsman.

Tickets for the Parts for Trucks 100 are $20.00 for adults (ages 16 and up), youth tickets are $15.00 (ages 9-15), children 8 and under are admitted for free. Family passes are also available for $75.00, please contact Speedway 660 for information on family passes. Tickets will be available at the gates on race day.
