JAMES RIVER, NS (November 18, 2019) – The 2020 edition of the IWK 250 is set for July 18. For the 14th-straight year, the highly-anticipated event will be presented by Sydney businessman Steve Lewis as an awareness and fundraising endeavour for the IWK Foundation. Since 2007, the IWK 250 presented by Steve Lewis has raised over $481,000.00 for the Foundation.

“We’re happy to get the date out there so fans can circle it on their calendars,” said Paul McLean, General Manager for Riverside International Speedway. “We know folks look forward to this event and even book vacation plans around it so we hope it’s a help for them to know the date this far in advance. And we are most appreciative for Steve’s continued support and the ongoing affiliation with the IWK.”

“This event means a lot to us,” said Steve Lewis. “We have family connection with first-hand knowledge of the fantastic care the IWK Heath Centre provides patients and their families; being able to pay it forward by helping other patients and families is a true blessing for us. We are so thankful to have the support of the IWK 250 fans year after year and are looking forward to seeing all of them again in 2020.”

The IWK 250 is one of Canada’s biggest stock car races and one of the largest annual summer sporting events in Atlantic Canada. Thousands of fans, old and new, make the pilgrimage to Riverside each summer; with more than 900 RV’s on-site for the weekend the population of James River grows significantly.

As in years past, the IWK 250 Super Race Weekend is a three-day event, kicking off Thursday, July 16 with the IWK 250 Tailgate Party. Friday, July 17 will see racing for the Napa Sportsman Series and at least one other division. The weekend culminates Saturday, July 18 with the IWK 250 presented by Steve Lewis.

Starting today, fans of the IWK 250 can purchase a special discounted Christmas package including two (2) general admission weekend passes as well as a Riverside Classic t-shirt and cap. The packages are available online at www.RiversideSpeedway.ca until December 10.
