@Pintysfoods • @Merrittville • THOROLD, ON – Hot on the heels of its sponsorship of the successful Pinty’s All-Star Curling Skins Game, in Banff, Alberta, the company is turning its attention to one of its new summertime properties. For 2015, Merrittville Speedway’s 358 Modified division will have title sponsorship from Pinty’s Delicious Foods.
“It’s wonderful to have a sponsor like Pinty’s join us … they are so engaged and committed to growing the sport (racing),” said (Merrittville GM) Erica Bicknell-Jones. “For several years, Pinty’s have been avid supporters of the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series. And in 2015, race fans will see them every Saturday night as the new division sponsor of our 358 Modified Division.”
Former champion Chad Brachmann of Sanborn NY kicked off the 2014 Championship Chase with a win for his new race team in what would be his only win of the season – settling for the runner-up spot behind first time champion and three time winner Mat Williamson of St. Catharines. Eight other drivers visited victory lane throughout the season; a roster that did not include 23-time champ Pete Bicknell.
