@ProStockTour • @Riverside_NS •JAMES RIVER, NS (April 4, 2016) – The Ron MacGillivray Chev Buick GMC 150 will open the 2016 season at Riverside International Speedway on June 11, the ninth consecutive year the Antigonish General Motors dealership has been the title sponsor for Riverside’s season opener.

The event is round two of 12 championship races for the Parts for Trucks Pro Stock Tour and the first of three series stops this year at the acclaimed short track near Antigonish.

Ron MacGillivray Chev Buick GMC first partnered with Riverside International Speedway in 2006 when the facility reopened after a complete rebuild to make it one of the premiere short track facilities in Canada. In 2008, the partnership expanded to include the Parts for Trucks Pro Stock Tour (PST) and the event entitlement; in 2013 the event grew from 100 laps to the current 150 laps, adding even more excitement for fans and racers.

In its nine-year history, the Ron MacGillivray sponsored races at Riverside have seen six different winners with defending PST champion Donald Chisholm (Antigonish) and Shawn Tucker (now retired – Fredericton, NB) tied for the most wins at two races each. Greg Proude (Charlottetown, PE), JR Fitzpatrick (Appin, ON), and the late Mike Stevens (Moncton, NB), all have one win each, as does the defending winner of the Ron MacGillivray Chev Buick GMC 150, George Koszkulics (New Glasgow).

Besides pro stock action, fans in attendance June 11 at Riverside will see the season opener for the NAPA Sportsman Series with the Highland Building Centres 50.

Advance tickets for the Ron MacGillivray 150 will be available in May. There will be plenty of free parking as well as free non-serviced camping for self-contained RV’s. More event details will be posted at www.riversidespeedway.ca as available. Sign up for the Riverside News to have track newsletters delivered directly to your device of choice.
