PETERBOROUGH, ON – There will be a show of strength in the numbers as the Kingsway Auto Centre Junior Late Models step up to the plate during the APC Autumn Colours Classic. Always a favourite with the fans, the 2024 Peterborough Speedway regular season saw close to 30 different drivers score points in the hometown oval’s combined divisions. With bragging rights and the prestige that comes with being crowned an Autumn Colours champion, the local standouts will find some tough competition from the invaders. Track owner and promoter J.P. Josiasse says it will be fun to see the talented young runners put it all on the line.
“It’ll be ‘hammer down’ from the drop of the green flag as the Junior Late Model teams show their stuff,” said Josiasse. “With the support and encouragement of family members and friends, this division regularly logs some of the most exciting action on the track.”
Several tracks across the province feature Junior Late Models as part of their weekly schedule, so the popular brand will be well-represented during the Thanksgiving Weekend spectacular. A group of supporters has recently stepped-up to the plate with offers of bonus money to the Junior Late Model payout, starting with $500.00 to the total purse from Homeland Auto Service, with another $500.00 cash from title sponsor Kingsway Auto.
Black Flag Racing has offered $50, $30 and $20 respectively to the top-3 female racers, with RCM Racing Equipment posting $50 hard charger and hard luck awards. Speedway veteran Brad Lavalle has posted a $50 bonus for the 6th place feature event finisher. As additional partners sign-on, they’ll be acknowledged on the track’s social media sites.
This year’s edition of the APC Autumn Colours Classic takes its initial Great Canadian RV green flag Friday, October 11th at 6:00. Junior Late Model action is slated for Saturday, October 12th with qualifying heats and a feature event part of a line-up that is slated to roll from the staging area in a line-up that starts at 3:30.
