Dirt Sportsman Series to join our Race Program

CCS is looking to add the Dirt Sportsman class to our schedule. The Sportsman class has to be one of the largest in this area with Brockville and Cornwall sending cars home each and every week, due to high car counts. Only so many cars will fit on a track, and each week cars are being sent home. We see a number of different tracks in the U.S that run these cars on asphalt tracks as an alternate option and/ or, in addition to their dirt series tracks. The turnout and response from drivers and fans has been great and works well for everyone. CCs is going to try to make this work for Sportsman drivers and for our fan base, and hopefully some of the dirt fans as well.

Four dates have been added for the Sportsman Series at CCS. They are June 26th, July 24th, July 31st and August 28th. It is our intention to see where this goes for 2013, and with some great participation, and great fan support we will look at adding this our program in 2014. Join us next Wednesday as we hope to have a couple of them out at intermission doing some hot laps and giving us a little view of hopefully things to come.

We do not know what to expect yet, but as we develop this further, we will keep you informed of any and all progress.

Here is a copy of our Press Release.

Capital City Speedway Rolls Out the Welcome Mat for Dirt Style Sportsman Modifieds With Four Events Scheduled in 2013

June 12, 2013

Track officials at Capital City Speedway in Stittsville, Ontario are about to roll out the welcome mat as they open their doors for the traditional dirt style Sportsman cars to come on out and have some fun on the 3/8^th mile paved speedway located just off of Highway 7 just west of Ottawa. The Sportsman division has been booked in for four dates in the 2013 season, and with a strong turnout this year, more dates could be added for 2014.

The four dates for 2013 will all an addition to their already stellar Wednesday night lineup. The first race will take place on June 26^th, July 24^th, July 31^stand the final race will take place on August 28^th. Each Sportsman team will receive a free pit pass for the driver and two crew members. During these first four events, the winner will receive $100. If we can get the car counts from the local Sportsman competitors, we can build on this and offer a substantially higher purse for 2014.

The idea for the Sportsman events at Capital City came through Joey Evans, a Sportsman driver from the Ottawa area. Joey approached Todd Gow with the idea, and soon the dates were finalized. Finish Line Web Design has also come aboard to help promote the four race event, and to help draw more attention to Capital City Speedway from area Sportsman competitors.
