Toronto, ON (March 29, 2017)- The Raceline Radio Network, Canada’s National Radio Motorsport Authority, celebrating 25 years on the air, is once again delighted to announce the renewal of their marketing and advertising partnership with Merrittville Speedway, St.Catharines, Ontario.

“66 consecutive years of operation just adds to the national importance of Merrittville’s legacy in Canadian motorsport. To exist this many years consecutively is a monumental and historic accomplishment. I’m very proud of my personal and professional history with Merrittville, going back to the days of announcing there during the era where my wife Janice’s family co-owned the facility in the 70’s and 80’s, through to our current partnership with Raceline Radio on News Talk 610 CKTB. Don Spiece’s new ownership era will make sure Merrittville’s tradition continues for new generations of race fans. The Raceline Radio Network is honoured to be part of the new era. We love to tell the Merrittville story for fans across Niagara and across Canada,” stated Niagara-based Raceline Radio Network anchor Erik Tomas.
“Congratulations to Erik and The Raceline Radio Network as they celebrate their 25th Anniversary Season connecting race fans with all the news of our sport,” wished new Merrittville Speedway Owner Don Spiece. “2017 is a milestone year for me with the purchase of the facility. My new relationship with Canada’s motorsport authority will surely help continue to grow the storied history of Merrittville,” Spiece added.
