It is with great enthusiasm that Oyster Bed Speedway and the Easy-Kleen Super Late Model Series welcome back Universal Truck and Trailer as the presenting sponsor for the series’ second stop at Prince Edward Island’s only paved stock car facility.
Serving as the penultimate event on the 2024 Easy-Kleen Super Late Model Series calendar, the Universal Truck & Trailer 150, on Saturday, August 3rd, will be a pivotal race as drivers chase championship honours. Fittingly, one season ago, Dylan Gosbee (No. 16) claimed home track glory by winning the Universal Truck & Trailer 150 – which vaulted him towards the inaugural championship.
Universal Truck & Trailer has been serving customers with pride for over 40 years across their network of dealerships. They are a heavy-duty truck and trailer dealership, serving as a dealer for Freightliner and Western Star. On Prince Edward Island, Universal Truck and Trailer can be found just minutes from Oyster Bed Speedway at their brand new location on Sherwood Road in Charlottetown. Additionally, Universal Truck and Trailer serves customers across Atlantic Canada with locations near every Easy-Kleen Super Late Model Series venue; in Dieppe, New Brunswick and Saint John, New Brunswick in addition to the Charlottetown, PEI location.
“Universal Truck and Trailer proved to be a valuable partner with the Easy-Kleen Super Late Model Series and Oyster Bed Speedway,” said Race Director Brent Roy. “They’ve done an amazing job with their new location on the Island and we’re honored to represent them on the race track.
“The New Brunswick Day long weekend in New Brunswick, in early August, is becoming synonymous with SLMS, Oyster Bed Speedway, and Universal Truck and Trailer. Fans won’t want to miss this Saturday night showdown during the penultimate event of 2024!”
A multi-time track champion at Oyster Bed Speedway prior to etching his name into history as the inaugural Easy-Kleen Super Late Model Series champion, Dylan Gosbee’s win last season in the Universal Truck and Trailer 150 was a monumental one. Rising to the occasion late in the race, Gosbee beat the field (and mother nature), and he will look to defend his win and championship in 2024.
“It’s great to have partners like Universal Truck and Trailer support what we do,” said Gosbee. “The Universal Truck and Trailer 150 last year at Oyster Bed Speedway was a barn burner. With the threat of rain looming, it was a ‘no holds barred’ style of race with everyone racing each lap as if it was the last.
“Fans won’t want to miss the 2024 Universal Truck and Trailer 150 as the action is sure to pick up where we left off last August.”
