JAMES RIVER, NS (November 15, 2018) – Management for Riverside International Speedway is excited to reveal the official logo and new merchandise for its upcoming 50th-anniversary celebration in 2019.

“We’re thrilled to be celebrating such a milestone,” said Paul McLean, general manager of Riverside International Speedway. “We wanted the logo and other images marking the anniversary to be representative of our history and we’re really happy with the results.”

The Riverside logo has been stylized with a classic look from the late 60s, a “50” has been added along with the years of operation “1969 / 2019”, and a flagman of the era included for effect. The slogan “Engine Roaring, Tire Screaming Excitement at its Best” was taken directly from a newspaper advertisement for the grand opening of the facility on May 18, 1969.

The t-shirt sees the 50th logo laid over images meaningful to the history of Riverside. The original tower and a full grandstand are from a 1977 photo during the inaugural Riverside 250 (now IWK250) – and a 1969 photo during the inaugural Riverside 100 shows late model race cars coming out of turn four.

The cap features distinctive elements of the new logo stitched on the front and “Antigonish, NS” stitched on the back.
