NPP SERIES PACE CAR ON DISPLAY AT MERRITT SPEEDWAY
HOBBY STOCK HEAT RACE ---------------------
Craig
notes the Merritt Speedway water truck made a couple of appearances
Saturday afternoon to keep moisture in the track. "I thought track
conditions were exceptional, even though the race was run during the
heat of the day. The clay racing surface was very smooth. NPP Series
drivers will be very happy with the racing surface here." This is
Merritt Speedway's 21st season of operation. "There were no delays to
start the show either," adds Craig, "the race was advertised as a 2:00pm
start. Race fans and race teams got a 2:00pm start."

Craig
says the August long weekend race featuring the NPP Late Model Series
is a can't miss event. "The Series debut is going to be huge for stock
car race fans in southern British Columbia and of course for Merritt
Speedway and the City of Merritt. It's going to be a history making
event for our Series too." This will be the first time a NPP Series
Championship points event has been held in the province of British
Columbia. "Bringing big league racing to smaller race facilities is
just part of what the NPP Series is about. We want this event to be fun
and successful for everyone involved." The media/public relations
director of Merritt Speedway says the track is already counting down to
the NPP Late Model Series inaugural visit on August 4th and 5th. "This
race event will allow us to showcase our track," says Lonnie Boszko, "we
do have invitational events here that attracts drivers from different
racing series. To have the NPP Series compete here [at Merritt Speedway]
brings us to a new level."
