Weekly Racers Go the Distance in 2024 at Peterborough Speedway
Main events are the featured attraction during the 2024 schedule at Peterborough Speedway.
Promotional staff is expecting some strong car counts across the board during this year’s line-up, with new names and familiar faces showing their stuff throughout the year. Track owner and promoter J.P. Josiasse says the home track runners will once again take their turn in the Saturday night spotlight.
“Our Battlefield Equipment Rental Bone Stock field will have a 50-lap invitational Saturday, July 6th,” Josiasse said. “The SwitchTire by Jiffy Lube Mini Stock teams will hit the track Saturday, August 10th for a 50-lap headliner which should also bring some invaders to Central Ontario to challenge the weekend racing regulars.”
Josiasse is also quick to point out the success of local Jiffy Lube Super Stock teams when it comes to defending home turf against the touring stars on the Qwick Wick Firestarter Series. Crowd favourite Marlie Owen logged a 7th place finish in 2023, while Brandon Feeney was 10th and Owen 13th a year earlier. Marlie wheeled her No. 21 machine to a 17th place finish in 2021. This year’s edition – a combined show with the APC Late Models – is scheduled for Saturday, June 15th. 2023 track champion Ryan Kimball finished 9th in last year’s 100-lap feature tilt, while Jacob Mercer was 19th in his first career series start. A season earlier, Kimball scored a 6th place finish.
Before the Saturday, May 18th first green flag of the new calendar with the Battlefield Equipment Rental Bone Stock, SwitchTire Mini Stock, Renegade Truck, Jiffy Lube Super Stock and KOD Disposal Late Model divisions, plus the Peterborough Speedway debut of the Ontario Legend Car Series, fans will have the chance to meet track staff and pick-up an official copy of the 2024 schedule during this year’s edition of the Motorama Custom Car and Motorsports Expo, presented by eBay Motors – March 8th through 10th – at the International Centre. Peterborough Speedway personnel is also looking at once again displaying cars at the Lindsay Square Mall, with dates and times to be announced.
With a stretch of 17 consecutive Saturdays of action – including the ever-popular Double Toonie Grandstand Admission/Fan Appreciation Nights June 8th, June 29th and August 17th – the 2024 schedule has everything you’re after.
