TORONTO, ON – The 12th annual Fast Eddie Speedwear Night of Champions will take centre stage during the Motorama Custom Car & Motorsports Expo presented by eBay Motors. One of the largest gatherings of current motorsports champions at a single place and time, the popular tradition will see 2024 track and touring series champions honoured on Saturday, March 8, 2025.
More than 150 champions are expected to participate in the Fast Eddie Speedwear Night of Champions, which kicks off with the Road Racing Night of Champions at 3 p.m., followed by the Drag Racing Night of Champions at 4:30 p.m. and the Short Track Night of Champions at 6:15 p.m. on the Meguiar’s Main Stage. The ceremonies will be streamed live on Motorama’s social media pages.
Fast Eddie returns as the title sponsor of the event, where the apparel company will be on-stage throughout the awards presentations, alongside Motorama representatives. Fast Eddie Speedwear president Tony Paton helped present the awards at the 2024 Night of Champions, alongside celebrity guests Constance Nunes, Farmtruck & Azn and Elvis Stojko.
“Probably the best part of the night is seeing the reception from the crowd to those drivers and getting to shake their hands and hear a little bit about their own stories and their journeys to get to that podium,” said Paton. “David, Greg and the team… they do a great job of bringing some of the celebs in from the weekend and have them be a part of it, too. We really enjoyed that last year.”
Champions who register prior to the January 31, 2025 deadline will receive two one-day passes to Motorama, a customized Fast Eddie Night of Champions plaque, a commemorative Fast Eddie Speedwear t-shirt, and a goodie bag. The t-shirt is uniquely designed each year and includes a collage of various forms of motorsport.
“That’s one of the fun things and challenging things, trying to represent the different forms of motorsports all in one shirt and giving everybody equal billing,” said Paton. “It’s cool seeing some of these drivers who wouldn’t normally be wearing a shirt that has a dragster on it because they’re a road racer, or vice versa… we always look forward to the challenge of coming up with something that’s unique and something that people will actually wear.”
Fast Eddie will also have a significant presence through its large booth in Hall 2. The company has been coming to Motorama every year, dating back nearly three decades when including the previous custom car show that was held in early March. With winter in its final stages and the Canadian racing season just around the corner, the company considers it a perfect time to showcase what they have to offer.
Fast Eddie caters to a wide array of needs, from custom projects to items that showgoers can walk away with. Examples include gloves, fire suits and helmets for racers; uniforms and swag for tracks; promotional items and souvenirs for motorsports supporters; and hoodies, hats and t-shirts, by Fast Eddie Speedwear, for racing enthusiasts and fans of combustion culture.
“It’s pretty hard for anybody who goes to the show to walk by our booth and not have a reason to stop by because we’re kind of a one-stop-shop,” said Paton, who also noted Fast Eddie’s ties to the racing industry. “(With Fast Eddie) you’re not just dealing with somebody in the clothing industry, you’re dealing with racers who are there on the weekends and understand what it takes to be successful and look good and be comfortable doing it.”
The latest advancements in safety and comfort can also be found at the Fast Eddie booth, including new helmet styles and HANS devices that were featured at the recent PRI Show. Motorama takes place March 7, 8 & 9 at The International Centre, across from Toronto’s Pearson Airport. For tickets and show info, visit MotoramaShow.com.
