Thanks to the National Autism Society for being a big part of our night on Wednesday. I know we had some new people out for the very first time and a fun time was had by all. We hope to see some of you again this year.
Thanks to the Drummond Family for hosting our night and thank you for the extra heat money and feature payouts for the drivers. I am sure it was greatly appreciated by them.
Overall, we had the biggest spectator count of the season and thanks to all of you who came out and watched some great racing. We could not survive without all of coming each and every week and supporting Capital City Speedway. It certainly helps when the weather cooperates and there is no chance of rain in the forecast. This Wednesday looks like it will be another great night for racing, as it appears that Mother Nature will give us another great night for putting on a show.
Congratulations go to Steve Munro and Dave Booth who were inducted into the CCS Hall of Fame on Wednesday. Both of these people have contributed to CCS's success over the many years and are now recognized for playing their part in keeping local stock car racing alive in Ottawa.
With a full card or racing and 2 special feature races, it was a full night of racing. The Dinardo Karts where on hand with us and the Sportsman Modifieds as well.
The Late Model feature was won by Sean Kennedy, sponsored by Ottawa Rental Supply and Service, who seems to have set up his new car to his liking. Three weeks ago Sean was involved in a crash which destroyed his old car. Two weeks later he is back in the winners circle again. Compliments to him and his team for putting his racing program back together so quickly. That win brings Sean only three points back of Ken Baird who is our current points leader.
The Legends Class saw Kevin Foisy make the triple sweep of the heats and the feature win.
The Thunder class saw Spencer MacPherson back at CCS in the Dave Woods owned # 25 car. Spencer has taken over that ride for the balance of the season, and look for that car to make a steady progression to the front. Chris MacDonald, owner of Security Connection and the 03 Thunder car driver, has shown some promise in that car. Chris who was our Mini Stock Champion last year and made the move up this year, seems to be getting the feeling for that car as he lead a number of laps before giving up the lead. Keith Ridell improves each and every week and is excited now to finally be in the mix of things. Jessica Pasinetti ended up third in the feature, second was Todd Musker and Greg Ogilvie took the checkered. The Thunder class is getting better and better each and every week and I look forward to seeing what is going to happen this week. Todd Musker and Greg Ogilvie are now tied for top spot and should make for an interesting battle the rest of the way.
Mini Stock saw a few bang ups early on in the night, knocking some cars out of the feature race. Cory Wilson manage to stay clean and finish up the night with his first win of the season.
Brendon Scott took and early lead and never looked back to take the feature win in the Four for Fun.
In the Sportsman Modified class we saw Steve Billings take his second checkered flag of the season and seems to have his car dialed in for CCS. Watch for the Sportsman Modifieds making their third appearance of the year this Wednesday Night. We are expecting to see a few more cars this week as the class saw a busy 4 day dirt series race last week.
The Dinardo's Karts were with us again and always put on a neat show. Trevor French took the triple crown, winning both heat races and the feature.
This coming week we will have Dymon Self Storage Night and our annual CHEO Fundraiser Night. Please come on out and support CCS and CHEO. Please help us support CHEO by bringing a "Toonie for the Tots". We will once again be having our golf ball toss for CHEO. Buy a golf ball for $ 5.00 and at intermission we will have you throw your ball towards the hole. Get it in and you could win $ 250.00 cash. All proceeds from this event and cash donations will be donated to CHEO.

What a Week.
With the weather man finally helping us out and giving us a nice night of racing, it was nice to finally see some new faces in the stands this week. Our enduro racers were happy as well to see that they were not going to miss another race to rain this year.
The stock car racing was once again great this week with some exciting finishes. It was also good to see no big wrecks like the week before. Sean Kennedy wrote off his Late Model last week, but was back this week in a new Late Model. In the end there can be only one and that went to Justin Holtom, who took the win home for this night. Join us once again next week to see who will take home the flag and the points lead in the Late Model division.
Todd Musker took home the Thunder Car victory and continue to lead this class in points. It was good to see Keith Ridell out who seems to be making hue strides with his car. Keith was able to keep that car up front for a number of laps before the more experienced guys worked away at him. I spoke with Keith afterwards ans he was very happy with his and the cars progress and said that this was by far and away his most enjoyable night.
The Legend cars were light, but the weekly battle between Chris Zieran and Matt Haufe was a great one to watch. In the feature, Matt had taken the lead and Chris was hot on his tail. Chris made a smooth bump and run on Matt to take the lead and lead up until the last lap when Matt gave him back that same smooth bump and run to take the checkered flag.
The mini stock class was once again a great race, just as it has been all year long. The cars are so close in this class due to a H.P to weight ration which keeps things nice and tight. The little Honda that could, driven by Kyle Baker took the checkered this night. Who is it going to be next week? Come on out and see for yourself.
Brandon Scott took home the checker flag once again in the Four for Fun class, and seems to be running away with it this year. Lets see if Mike Attwell can arise his game this week and take the checkered away from him again.
Jessie Duguay took home the 4 cylinder class in the enduro and once again Todd Musker took home the 8 cylinder class. This was Todd Musker's second win of the season in the enduro, and I like to see new winners every week or every enduro, so, I have added a$ 50.00 bonus in the next enduro to the winner of the 8 cylinder class if they can beat Todd Musker. It must be a clean race - no taking him out. Todd Musker and 53 Colours has also put up $ 50.00 if anyone can come out and beat him as well. This makes the next enduro $ 350.00 to win the 8 cylinder class. Do you have what it takes it beat Todd Musker? If you think you do, then bring your car out and show us what you got.
Join us next week for all of our regular classes along with the Vintage Modifeds.

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.

Stittsville Trailers Night was a Big Bang.
Thanks go to Orville and Trevor Hartwick from Stittsville Trailers for once again playing a role in the continued success of Capital City Speedway. Stittsville Trailers has long been a part of CCS and we thank them for being a part again in 2013. Remember , if you are looking for a trailer, trailer accessories, or looking for some equipment or golf cart equipment, then please give them a call.
The racing continued to be great at CCS once again this week, with some great battles for the lead. The Late Model class saw three different winners on the night with Justin Holtom and Steve Munro taking the heat wins, and Ken Baird finally picking up his first win of the season. Ken looked like the sure winner of the feature race until a late caution flag brought the field back together. With everyone racing for the win, there was a big crash coming out of corner 4, and Sean Kennedy ended up going into the wall, with Brian Copp running into the back of him. Chris Ferguson ended up in the in field with a broken rotor. Ken held off on the restart for a green, white, checkered finish. It appears that Sean Kennedy's car will be a write off, but don't count him out yet as we expect him back next week.
Thunder Car saw Todd Musker and Greg Ogilvie battle all night long splitting the heat races and Greg taking the checkered flag.
Legends saw a bigger field with 4 cars coming up from Evan Mills, NY to race at CCS. Thanks go to Taylor Doxater, Joel Hall, Kyle Haferman and Vern Lafave for their long haul up to join us. With favorable reviews from each of them, we hope to see them back again. The night once again belonged to Kevin Foisy who took the triple crown for the nights races.
Mini Stock was a rough one with a number of cars not coming back out during a rough and tumble feature race. The heat wins were one by Dwayne Emon, Tyler Cavanagh with Daryll Gow taking the checkered flag.
Mike Atwill took his second checkered flag of the season with a strong win on the field. Brandon Scott tried real hard to catch him in the final laps making some huge gains on him, but finally ran out of laps.
Fan Appreciation Night was a big hit with the fans as they made their way onto the track at intermission to meet and greet the drivers. Fireworks lit up the sky after the Late Model feature as a little bonus for our fans who came out for Fan Appreciation Night. Thanks to Canadian Tire Carling and Ogilvie for the donation of two bikesd and two fishing rods for our door prizes. We had some happy kids walking out with a new set of wheels.
Overall, another great night in the books at CCS. Join us next week for a 100 lap enduro with Town and Country Chrysler Night.
I hope to see you and all of your friends at the races.

The Racing just keeps getting Better at CCS
Wednesday Night saw another week of great racing. Our drivers certainly have picked up the pace as we saw some great racing and battles all night long. Myers Motors Night was no exception with some great wheel to wheel, bumper to bumper racing action.
The best feature of the night had to go once again to the mini stocks who battled from the green flag all the way to the checkered flag. The top eight cars finished the race within seconds of each other. The battle for the lead was fought hard between Casey Cavanagh and Dwayne Emon with a beehive of activity behind them all race long. Casey ended up with the win, but it was a toss up between a number of cars who could have won it. Jason Moss who blew up his motor 2 weeks ago will be back this coming Wednesday along with Dave Watchorn who was away on business.
Sean Kennedy took the checkered for the Late Models, but any slip up by him would have seen a number of contenders knocking on the door. Tim Kirby seems to have gotten his ride working well for him this year. Tim is in a new car and has finished well in all of his races. Look for him to be in the winners circle at some point this year. Ken Baird has taken the points lead with a number of strong finishes so far, but has yet to get into the winners circle this year. Ken just needs a break and look for him to be in the winners circle.
Matt Haufe had a great battle for most of the feature with last weeks winner, Chris Zieran, but held off that challenge to win his first feature of the year. Rookie Terry McClelland has been putting together some good runs and watch for him after he gets some more seat time in that new car. Newcomer Robin Jongen from Barrie made a great first impression and finished well in his first run at CCS.
The Thunder class saw Todd Musker once again take the checkered flag. Watch for this lass to get even more interesting as Mike Hennick should have his new motor and be back with us this week. Jessica Pasinetti has a new power plant going in this week as well, as the power was not there this week after her first win last week. Rumours are swirling about some new Thunder Cars this week as well. This should help that class get back to having some reasonable car counts back in it.
Four for Fun saw Brandon Scott take another win and bolster his lead on that class. News of some new cars coming out over the next few weeks should bring this class back up to a reasonable car count in the very near future.
The Dinardo's Kart class saw a jump in Kart numbers this week and saw some very good racing. Things up front were tight all night long with Trevor Finch taking the win.
The Highlight of the night had to have been the first outing of the Dirt Sportsman class at CCS. We saw some great raing with our new exhibition class for 2013. The long term goal is to get these guys out every week next year as a regular class. Thanks go to Doug Buzzell, Dana Akins, Jason Shipclark, Steve Billings, John Ferguson, Bruce Makinson and Joey Evans for bringing thier cars out to put on a show for you. The feedback from these drivers and our fans was very positive and I look forward to where this will go. I have confirmations from other Sportsman drivers at this point that they will be out July 24th for our next Sportsman event. If this goes were I think it will, look for a much higher car count for this event.
This coming Wednesday is Fan Appreciation Night, so make sure you come on out and meet your favorite driver and get to see the cars up close.
I hope to see you at the races.

The top eight cars finished the race within seconds of each other. The battle for the lead was fought hard between Casey Cavanagh and Dwayne Emon with a beehive of activity behind them all race long. Casey ended up with the win, but it was a toss up between a number of cars who could have won it. Jason Moss who blew up his motor 2 weeks ago will be back this coming Wednesday along with Dave Watchorn who was away on business.
Sean Kennedy took the checkered for the Late Models, but any slip up by him would have seen a number of contenders knocking on the door. Tim Kirby seems to have gotten his ride working well for him this year. Tim is in a new car and has finished well in all of his races. Look for him to be in the winners circle at some point this year. Ken Baird has taken the points lead with a number of strong finishes so far, but has yet to get into the winners circle this year. Ken just needs a break and look for him to be in the winners circle.
Matt Haufe had a great battle for most of the feature with last weeks winner, Chris Zieran, but held off that challenge to win his first feature of the year. Rookie Terry McClelland has been putting together some good runs and watch for him after he gets some more seat time in that new car. Newcomer Robin Jongen from Barrie made a great first impression and finished well in his first run at CCS.
The Thunder class saw Todd Musker once again take the checkered flag. Watch for this lass to get even more interesting as Mike Hennick should have his new motor and be back with us this week. Jessica Pasinetti has a new power plant going in this week as well, as the power was not there this week after her first win last week. Rumours are swirling about some new Thunder Cars this week as well. This should help that class get back to having some reasonable car counts back in it.
Four for Fun saw Brandon Scott take another win and bolster his lead on that class. News of some new cars coming out over the next few weeks should bring this class back up to a reasonable car count in the very near future.
The Dinardo's Kart class saw a jump in Kart numbers this week and saw some very good racing. Things up front were tight all night long with Trevor Finch taking the win.
The Highlight of the night had to have been the first outing of the Dirt Sportsman class at CCS. We saw some great raing with our new exhibition class for 2013. The long term goal is to get these guys out every week next year as a regular class. Thanks go to Doug Buzzell, Dana Akins, Jason Shipclark, Steve Billings, John Ferguson, Bruce Makinson and Joey Evans for bringing thier cars out to put on a show for you. The feedback from these drivers and our fans was very positive and I look forward to where this will go. I have confirmations from other Sportsman drivers at this point that they will be out July 24th for our next Sportsman event. If this goes were I think it will, look for a much higher car count for this event.
This coming Wednesday is Fan Appreciation Night, so make sure you come on out and meet your favorite driver and get to see the cars up close.
I hope to see you at the races.

Super Racing on Wednesday Night
This past Wednesday saw some of the best racing action we have had all season. If you missed it, then you need to come out this Wednesday for Myers Motors Night. We will have all of our 5 regular classes running with the Dinardo's Kart Class and our new Dirt Sportsman series. We have a number of confirmed cars at this point and are still working on getting more out. It should be a great show regardless of car counts at this point, and look forward to our July 24 and July 31st shows where we expect a even better turnout. This is a development class at this point and it will be very interesting to see where this class goes.
Late Model Class:
We saw a great feature race with Sean Kennedy taking his first feature checkered flag of the season. It is nice to see three different feature winners in three weeks in this class. We hope to see a couple more Late Models out over the next couple of weeks as they are trying to get their programs together to join us for the rest of the season.
Thunder:
What had to have been the most exciting race of the season so far, took place in the Thunder Class. If you are a CCS fan you will recognize the name. Young Jessica Passinetti, took her Malibu from outside pole to the lead and drove the wheels off it to take her first ever feature win. Greg Ogilvie pushed her hard but Jessica drove her heart out, never made a mistake, and kept running a fast clean line around the track. I had to laugh as I watched the laps count down and Jessica stayed true and kept her foot in it and beat the boys to the checkered flag. Greg Ogilvie finished a very close second. Todd Musker a very close third and Neil Leblond took home a fourth. All fours cars finished within seconds of each other. Needless to say, Jessica was ecstatic with her first win and Julio was a very proud father and crew chief.
Legends:
With a double feature being run last night to make up for our Season Opener, the Legends had a busy night. Kevin Foisy took home both features last night. Surprise of the night was in the second feature where Chris Zieran was on Foisy's back bumper most of the way. Chris won last week's feature, and if last night was any indication look for him to be back in the winner's circle soon.
Mini Stock:
Another great race night for the Mini Stocks as we saw the third different winner in so many weeks. Casey Cavanagh took home his first checkered of the season with a number of cars close behind. Cory Wilson was having a strong night until he blew up his motor and ended his chance for the checkered. Watch for some close racing in this field for the rest of the season.
Four for Fun:
Mike Atwill took home his first ever checkered flag and of course there were plenty of smiles all around for that big win. It was good to see Leora Starkey back out in her car and lets hope we see continued growth in this class as the season progresses.
Vintage Modifieds:
After a nasty feature start bang up, Paul Billings ran Denzil Billings Jr hard all race long but lasted long enough to take home the checkered flag for his first feature win of the season.
Please join us next week when all children 12 and under get in free for Myers Motors Night.
I hope to see you at the races.
Late Model Class:
We saw a great feature race with Sean Kennedy taking his first feature checkered flag of the season. It is nice to see three different feature winners in three weeks in this class.

Capital City Speedway Digs up some Dirt for Sportsman Class
Capital City Speedway Listens to Driver Feedback and Increases Purse For Upcoming Dirt Style Sportsman Events; Great Support Could Lead to Weekly Division and Higher Payouts in 2014
By Craig Revelle – Finish Line Web Design
June 18, 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 3/8th 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 26th, July 24th, July 31st and the final race will take place on August 28th. Each Sportsman team will receive a free pit pass for the driver and two crew members (valued at $60). After first issuing this release last week, Capital City Speedway officials have decided to raise the purse to $300 to win, and will also pay back to the eighth place finisher. Second place will receive $200, third place will go home with $150, fourth place and fifth place will leave with $100. Sixth, Seventh and Eighth place finishers will receive amounts of $75, $50 and $25 respectively.
Standard Dirt Sportsman rules from area tracks will apply. Tires should be a hard compound dirt tire, but we will open it up to allow drivers to run old dirt track racing tires they may want to get rid of. We will revisit the rules package if we can get enough interest and cars for next year.
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.
For more information on this Sportsman invasion of Capital City Speedway, please contact track promoter Todd Gow at the track at 613-723-7223 or email him at todd@gowproperties.ca.

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.

A Great Night At CCS
Sometimes when things come together, the result is great. Great was the way to describe how things went last night at CCS. After working out some glitches for Opening Night, things raced along all night. In fact we set a record for getting through a full program last night, and a 100 lap enduro in record time. Things were helped by the fact that we had very few cautions, no wrecks and a red flag free 100 lap enduro. Things went so smoothly last night I got complaints from the clean up crew that they had nothing to do all night. I can live with that.
Racing started at 7:15 and we were crowning the Enduro winners at 10:15. We now hope that the speed and ease of last night's show continues. I know we will not be that lucky, but it was a great step in speeding up our program for our fans.
Winners:
Four for Fun:
Brandon Scott picked up where he finished off last week, and that was in the winners circle. Kudo's to the Atwill team for being out last night after blowing their motor last week. Pops MacDonald was back last night after getting his new car ready for the season. Look for Pops to get that car dialed in over the next week or so and make a charge for the front.
Mini Stock:
The mini stock class feature was the best feature race of the night with plenty of great moves and racing. Aj Dickie was the surprise of the night leading most of the race, battling Cory Wilson who was all over him. Cory was outside, inside, bumping, trying to get by for the most of the race. A late caution brought the field back together, and the little Honda that could of Kyle Baker managed to get by for his first feature win.
Thunder:
Todd Musker showed us why he was last years champion, by getting a jump early on and held it to the finish line. Greg Ogilvie tried to play catch up after getting boxed in for the first few laps, but ran out of laps. Keith Riddell got his new look car out and finished strong for his first appearance of the year. Look for that car to get stronger each and every week. The big cheer of the night came for Jessica Pasinetti who blew her motor in the 2nd heat, but took the green flag for the feature, did her one lap nad then took it to the pits. I think it took all the car had to make it around one lap, but she took home her points for the feature and her payout. Mike Hennick tried to make the race, but blew his transmission in practice. Lets hope Mike gets that back together for next week.Rumour is that Karol Thibaut may be out for next week, as well as Bob Williams.
Legends:
Legends were a little light last night as Kevin Foisy and Brian Saunders were down in Charlotte, NC for the Summer Nationals. Kevin Foisy ended up winning the A Main Feature. They ere trying to get abck in time to race here but never quite made it. We should see them back next week. Chris Zieran took home his first win of the season with a strong run last night.
Late Model:
The Late Models ran strong all night long with some great racing. Justin Holtom ended up winning the feature with Shawn Kennedy and Tim Kirby close behind. Justin ran a great race and never gave them the opportunity to take it away from him.
Overall a great night with the only repeat winner from last week being Brandon Scott in four for fun.
Join us next week when we will see Sports Systems Canada Night with a full program plus the Vintage Modifieds will be back in action.
See you at the races.
