SCOTIA SPEEDWORLD’S WEEKLY RACING SERIES RETURNS SUNDAY AT 2:00 PM

(Halifax, NS. May 17, 2017) Scotia Speedworld’s CARSTAR Weekly Racing Series will kick-off their 30th anniversary season this Sunday at 2:00 PM.  All six Weekly Racing Series divisions will see action on the oval this Sunday. Adult tickets are $15.00; Youth tickets (8-15 years) are $5.00 and children 7 and under are admitted for FREE all season at Scotia Speedworld! Tickets will be available at the gate on race day (cash only). Grandstand gates open at 12:00 noon with qualifying for all six Weekly Racing Series divisions slated to get underway at 2:00 PM.

While the checkered flag is the immediate goal, Sunday is the first opportunity for drivers on the CARSTAR Weekly Racing Series to gain valuable championship points. After a long winter, teams have been working around the clock to get their racing machines ready for competition for the first time since last September.

The CARSTAR Weekly Racing Series will take the following weekend off as Scotia Speedworld hosts Monster Jam on Saturday, May 27th and Sunday, May 28th.  The CARSTAR Weekly Racing Series will return to its usual 7:00 PM time slot on Friday nights starting on June 2nd and will run every Friday night following for the remainder of the season.
