\"ProStockTour\"(Halifax, NS, May 19, 2014) The Parts for Trucks Pro Stock Tour will open another sensational season of stock car racing this Saturday, May 24th at Scotia Speedworld with the Harry Poole Memorial 100 presented by Lucas Oil. The season opener will launch the 12-race schedule that will take the Tour to five Maritime markets over the next 17 weeks. Approximately thirty of the best teams from across the region are expected to battle for a spot in Saturday\u2019s main feature. Qualifying for the Harry Poole Memorial 100 presented by Lucas Oil gets underway at 3:10 PM with racing slated for 4:00 PM. Grandstands gates open at 1:00 PM.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s season opener will be run in honour of Harry Poole. Harry was one of the original builders and owners of the Pro Stock Tour and Scotia Speedworld. He was a staunch supporter of stock car racing in the Maritimes and he willingly gave back to his community through many other organizations over the years. Racing has lost a true friend and we are dedicating the 2014 season opener to Harry, who passed away this winter after a valiant battle with Cancer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

John Flemming (Halifax, NS) won the season opener last year en route to his fourth series championship (2002 \u201803, \u201906, \u201913). Two fellow multi-time series champions are also expected in the field on Saturday; Shawn Tucker, (Fredericton, NB) a three-time series champion, (2004, \u201907, \u201910) and Shawn Turple (Enfield, NS) who has won two of the Tour\u2019s prestigious tiles (2010, \u201912). These veterans will have their hands full as an ambitious and talented field of drivers will be looking to take home the first checkered flag of the season.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sarah McKay (Quispamsis, NB) will debut as the first female to pilot a car on the Parts for Trucks Pro Stock Tour. When the green flag flies this Saturday, McKay will become the first lady of racing in the Maritimes. McKay has a solid track record, a standout in karts; McKay moved to the competitive Sportsman division at Speedway 660 in 2013 and won the Rookie of the Year Award in the class. After competing at Speedway Miramichi and Petty Raceway to complement her Speedway 660 schedule and showing quick promise in a full bodied Late Model, the team made the call to run full-time on the Tour in 2014.<\/p>\n
