Exciting and fast-paced final race expected at Cayuga Dragway
Event and title championships to be determined for Quick 32 Sportsman Series September 9-11
CAYUGA, ONTARIO (September 9, 2011) – Although Phil Sampson leads the Quick 32 Sportsman Series presented by NAPA Auto Parts Championship Point Award Series Standings going into the sixth and final race of the 2011 season, there is a lot of postponed eliminations to take place before a final winner is declared for the season.
This final race will be held September 9-11 at the Cayuga Dragway of Toronto Motorsports Park, but the final elimination of race four must be determined, and three rounds of eliminations must be held before the points race is back in order for this sixth race.
The final round from race four, held at the Grand Bend Motorplex August 4 must be finalized, with Top Sportsman driver Kevin Wicke of Stratford, Ontario, pitted against Top Dragster driver Jeff Moser of Bamberg, Ontario.
