2007 OSCAAR Super Late Model champion Derrick Tiemersma (top) has confirmed a return to the province’s premier touring series in 2012. The Newmarket, ON driver last saw active competition during the 2010 season, finishing within the top-5 in series points. Tiemersma has admitted that without additional sponsorship commitments, running all 13 tour events will be difficult, but affirmed the team will be in action with the rest of the tour to ring in the new season at Sunset Speedway on May 20th.
The team is excited to welcome back Wayfreight and Speedy Auto Machine to their 2012 program, in addition to first time sponsor Spira Fire Protection. Any parties interested in a sponsorship package may contact Tiemersma at derrick_tiemersma@hotmail.com.
