CCS News

This Wednesday is the Lanark Food Bank Food raiser, and Town and Country Chrysler Night. Don't forget to bring non perishable food with you to the track. There is a ten pound food challenge put forth, and if everyone can do that in the pits alone, we should be able to help some people in need.

Speaking of being in need, we need to see some fans come out this Wednesday. The weather has hurt our attendance numbers significantly this year, and tomorrow will once again be one of those iffy days. Remember, it normally doesn't rain at the track, just everywhere else. Come on out and enjoy our second enduro of the season, along with our regular classes.

If you were at CCS last week, you saw Sean Kennedy and the # 14 Late Model hit the wall hard. After further inspection, that car is a write off and will not be back with us. The good news is that a new car was purchased by that team and a new # 14 Late Model will be back with us tomorrow night. Thanks go to Sean Kenndy, Ottawa Rental Supply and Service, and his crew for coming back without missing a week.

A few weeks ago, Mosport Speedway announced that it will be closing its stock car track mid season. Mosport will be ceasing its stock car racing program effective July 17. Kawartha Speedway closed its stock car program at the end of the 2012 season. The reason behind these closings was at the end of the day they were losing money with their programs. Stock Car racing programs cost a lot of money to keep running and are very hard to keep profitable. CCS has lost money the last three years in operation, and early numbers this year don't look promising either for 2013.  If you want to continue to see stock car racing stay alive in the Ottawa area, you need to support it. All you need to do is to come see us on Wednesday Nights and have some fun. If you have a business, then help us help you and become an advertiser with us. Work with a group of people?  Then why not make a company night out and bring your group to CCS.

If all of our weekly fans come out, and bring another friend with them, Capital City Speedway will be around for many years to come.
