Ontario Dirt Late Models Set To Kick Off 2010 Season

BLENHEIM, ONT. (Wednesday, July 21) - ODLM Champion Oakes last minute decision making, will affect the full field of super late model cars expected to run this weekend at the TrackMart Eastern ODLM Late Model Challenge. Greg has decided in the final week drawing up to this exciting weekend, that he will return to defend his title.

It was questionable, as Greg is running for points in the O’Rielly Late Model Series based in the U.S. Greg is from Franklinville NY and will be piloting his # 22. Joining Greg in his second car, is driver Jim Mason 22x from Fullmore NY. Greg will be set to defend his title against the ODLM regulars along with another invading two-car team. Chad Valone out of Warren, PA and David Scott from Garland, PA will represent the Pennsylvania racing boys and should be strong contenders. Added to the mix from New York State will be Paul Grigsby, John Lobb, Lee Gill and Chuck Myers. Dave Hartman of Michigan has indicated he will make the long haul to participate.

Look for these Americans to add excitement to the three races being held at Autodrome Edelweiss on Friday, July 23, Brockville Ontario Speedway on Saturday, July 24 and Cornwall Motor Speedway on Sunday, July 25th. A cumulation of hard charger points earned over the 3 nights, will guarantee one driver walking away with a new DefNder Head and Neck Restraint System, sponsored by TrackMart.

There will a number of top Ontario late model drivers in attendance as well. Look for teams from the Windsor/Chatham area to descend on the eastern part of Ontario. Numerous teams from the new late model class at Brighton Speedway & Can-Am Speedway, will also join the field this year to gain experience at running with the ODLM. Three teams hailing from the Port Colborne area and are set to do action on the tracks. Quebec driver Peter Mantha has made the trip to Chub Franks shop to pick up his 1* car to participate in the Friday night race at what he considers to be his home track.

This year, the ODLM is set to put on one of the greatest shows on dirt, and will set a precedent in super late model racing in Ontario. Come out and witness these super lates at a local track near you! The schedule can be viewed at www.ontariodirtlatemodels.com.
