LONDON, ON – The 44th Annual Great Canadian Race Weekend on September 26th and 27th, 2025 at Delaware Speedway is one of Canada’s longest running, most sought-after race event wins. It has a rich history with an incredible list of winners from Canada and the USA, including Biederman, Hanley, Ross, Robblee, Leslie, Gibbons and Fitzpatrick, with Biederman winning the inaugural event in 1981.
This year’s Great Canadian Race Weekend will feature the Castrol 300 for the APC Late Model Series and a total of six championships decided over the two-day event, including the Dayco Super Stocks and Doxtator Property Maintenance V8 Stocks on Friday, Sept. 26th, and the URS/OSCAAR Hot Rod, URS/OSCAAR Overkill Enterprise Modified, the NTN Triple Crown for Late Models and APC Late Model Series on Sept. 27th.
Friday will be the Great Canadian Race Prelude, which will feature 50 laps for the Dayco Super Stock Series with a $20,000 purse and $5,000.00 to win, along with the V8 Stock Championship and the Liftow Bone Stock Shootout.
Saturday will feature the URS/OSCAAR Hot Rod and Modified champions being crowned, and the weekend will conclude with the Castrol 300, where the APC Late Model Championship will be decided. The Castrol 300 will have a record purse of over $90,000.00, paying $15,000.00 to win, and the NTN Triple Crown champion will also be crowned.

If a driver wins both features, that bonus increases to $10,000.00. More than $130,000.00 will be paid out during the Great Canadian Race Weekend.
