Here’s our first look at the car Marc Jacobs will compete with on the JEGS/CRA All Star Tour in 2014. The London, ON driver finished 12th in series points last season, turning in 3 top-10s on the Midwestern-based tour. Marc leads a growing Canadian contingent on the JEGS tour, joined by younger brother Jaxson Jacobs, 2013 event winner Dominique Van Wieringen and former Motocross standout Tristan Van Wieringen.
Marc’s Lefthander chassis will carry sponsorship from London’s Best Rock FM96, Rocky’s Harley Davidson, Country 104, Raymond Brothers Tents & Awnings, RG Gibson & Sons Hardwood Flooring and Kitchener Harley Davidson. Fans can follow Marc’s progress on the tour via his @MarcJacobs_8.
Last week we had a chance to catch up with 2013 Flamboro Speedway Late Model champion Shawn Chenoweth. The always colorful veteran took the time to wax poetic on the Flamboro-Delaware APC Challenge Series, explained his re-dedication to his father Bob’s Thunder Car program and offers his breakdown of Flamboro’s Thunder Car and Pro Late Model rosters.

The Stayner, ON driver has competed exclusively in the United States this season, with Saturday’s event marking a homecoming of sorts for the former Sunset regular. Watson joins a talent-laden entry list that already includes 2013 Delaware champion Jamie Cox, multi-time Flamboro champion Jason Shaw, former Velocity 250 winner Ryan Kimball, NASCAR Canadian Tire Series contender Jason Hathaway and Pro Late Model veteran Steve Laking.

The London, ON veteran will be celebrating his 20th season of racing, and will be selling commemorative T-Shirts all summer long, with profits donated to Parkinson’s Research. Doerr joins a rapidly growing Delaware roster, as a number of drivers have confirmed their championship aspirations in recent weeks, including perennial bridesmaid Matt Pritiko, fellow veteran Shawn Thompson and rising star Brady Smith. His 2014 title campaign will be supported by Once Upon A Child, Ron O’brien RE/MAX, McRobert Fuels, Fast Signs, Huron Tractor, The Lawn Man and Lucas Oil.
