TEAM UP FOR COORS SIX PACK PRO STOCK SERIES<\/p>\n
In a monumental announcement, Canaan Fair Speedway promoter,
\nDick Therrien and Lee USA Speedway promoter, Bob Watson are pleased to
\nannounce the formation of a brand new six race Pro Stock series for the 2011
\nracing season. The series will be sponsored by Coors and will be featuring
\nthree races at each track, culminating with the championship event at
\nOctoberfest at Lee.<\/p>\n
“Bob and I have been working on this for the past couple of
\nmonths and now have pretty much got the final touches on the plan, stated
\nTherrien. We sat down this past Saturday and worked out most of the details.
\nThe only thing major left is to decide on which brand of tire we go with,
\nAmerican Racers or Hoosiers. This unique series will feature solid purses
\nand race distances ranging from 50 laps to 100 laps. We will utilize the
\nCanaan Fair Speedway Pro Stock rule book for the Series. Canaan Fair
\nSpeedway’s Chief Technical Inspector, Charlie Rockwell, along with Assistant
\nInspector, Jamie Rockwell will be in charge of policing the six race
\ndivision. The Rockwell’s are known for being extremely fair, and for their
\nquality demeanor, and will be 100% in charge of this aspect of the Series.”<\/p>\n
“Dick and I felt that this Series can get some of the areas idle
\nPro Stocks out of mothballs, and with this mini-series it should entice many
\nof these racers back to the tracks. Our goal is to make this series a fun
\nand affordable one, one that will certainly be enjoyed by our fans. Pro
\nStocks are awesome to watch, and they put on an incredible show, declared
\nWatson. We had a great field of cars for Octoberfest, and Dick has a good
\nfield at Canaan, where they run on a weekly basis. We hope this will
\nbenefit both tracks by combining the efforts for six events in 2011. Dick
\nis hoping for a few teams to race at Canaan on a regular or semi-regular
\nbasis and I am happy to have these rockets on my schedule on a limited
\nbasis. We feel this is a win, win situation for both tracks.”<\/p>\n
The Coors Six Pack Pro Stock Series opens up on Saturday, May
\n28th at Canaan Fair Speedway with a 50 lap main event paying the winner a
\ncool $1,000. Round #2 kicks into high gear the following Friday night at Lee
\nUSA Speedway on June 3rd. The third event goes green at Canaan on Saturday,
\nJune 18th, while event #4 heads back to Lee on Friday, July 29th. The
\nCanaan portion of the Series wraps up on Saturday, September 3rd with a 100
\nlap event paying $1,500 to the winner. The Coors Six Pack Series will
\nconclude at Lee’s Octoberfest weekend October 21st-23rd. The Series will
\noffer a solid point fund which will be distributed at the tracks on that
