@BrightonSpdwy •(April 30, 2016)- Brighton Speedway’s new season of action is underway and after some late night’s at their Prince Edward Country shop, Wade Purchase is ready to rock. With a year of running the fan favourite 1962 Chevrolet Belair in the rear-view mirror, the team has converted the #53 machine – that finished fifth in the final 2015 point standings, after suffering engine problems in the final double points night of the year – into a more conventional Monte Carlo bodied ride.

“The Belair got a lot of attention at the track and on social media,” said the 20 year-old second generation speedster. “While the car was a fun project for us to put together, it was a much heavier than the others in the field and wasn’t as competitive as we had hoped. Still, after being awarded the Pro Stock division’s best appearing car and getting nominated as one of the best appearing in the province, we deemed the experiment as a success. Now, its time to focus on the future.”

Switching to a body kit that will blend-in with a highly competitive field at the popular local clay oval, Wade Purchase – who’ll be entering his fourth season of action – says he’s looking forward to getting back behind the wheel.

With Mat Purchase – the driver’s father and crew chief – calling the shots and orchestrating the switch, team members Kali Michael, Stephanie Purchase, Travis Coates, Jessy Doornbos, Katie McKinley and Kevin Rallison are also helping to get things ready for battle. Wade Purchase says that no success on the track comes without some teamwork behind the scenes and its great to have so many people pitching-in to make sure he’s ready for opening night.

“There is always a lot to do and my entire team is putting in some long hours in the shop,” said the driver. “It seems like a lot of work now, but every second we’ve spent tweaking body panels and fitting pieces together will all have its own reward when we’re relaxing after a strong run after the year’s first main event.”

For 2016, the #53 Purchase Racing Pro Stock will be proudly supported by Independent Alternator & Starter, Team Re/Max Real Estate of Wellington, K-D Transmissions, PartSource, Millpond Music & Entertainment, Tag Ironworks & Fabrication, The Vinyl Solution and Dino’s Pizza. Team media and promotional services are provided by Clarke Motorsports Communications.
