OSCAAR Mods & Pro Sprints Join the Saturday Night Fun at Peterborough Speedway
Nothing matches the thrills and excitement of the Hot August Nights Racing Series at Peterborough Speedway. The final month of the 2019 regular season at the tight, tricky bullring on Mount Pleasant Road is packed with close point battles and special events as things wind-down for another year at Central Ontario’s favourite place to race.
The popular 5-race homestretch kicks-off Saturday, August 3rd as the OSCAAR Modifieds and Pro Sprints join the Battlefield Equipment Rental Bone Stock and Jiffy Lube Mini Stock divisions. Also on the show will be a 30 ‘A’ main for the KOD Disposal Super Stocks that will serve as a qualifier for the Canadian Short Track Nationals at Jukasa Motor Speedway. The night gets underway with a free, pre-race corn roast.
“Across the board, the point standings in our weekly divisions are tighter than they’ve been in years,” said Peterborough Speedway owner and 
promoter J.P. Josiasse. “Our teams have been battling hard all season long and the next 5 weeks will determine who gets their name engraved on the championship trophies at the end of the year.”
For the Saturday, August 3rd show, pit gates will open at 2:00, with the general admission grandstands unlocked at 4:00 and the night’s first green flag scheduled for 6:00.
There is still plenty of exciting action ahead of the Saturday, August 31st Championship Clash. Lucas Oil Sportsman Cup Series teams are booked for a 100 lapper; along with the home track Bone Stock, Mini Stock, Renegade Truck and Late Model divisions Saturday, August 10th. The year’s final Summer Toonie Night, presented by Pepsi – Saturday, August 17th – includes a 50 lap Late Model feature event with Bone Stocks, Renegade Trucks, Super Stocks and the Ontario Pro Challenge Series.
