Parts For Trucks 200 At
Scotia Speedworld
Halifax, NS
(September 6, 2006)
– The CARQUEST Pro Stock
Tour invades Scotia
Speedworld for the
running of the Parts For
Trucks 200 this
Saturday, September 9th.
This is race 10 in the
11 event CARQUEST Pro
Stock Tour, which sees
action at five Maritime
Tracks during May to
September. John Flemming,
Halifax, NS the current
points leader, holds a
21-point lead over
second year Tour driver

NB. Wayne Smith,
Timberlea, NS, the Oval
Outlaw is 63-points
back. Gordie Ryan,

round out the top five
in points.
The Parts For Trucks 200
is an extended lap race
and as such will see a
mandatory caution at the
completion of lap 100.
Teams will be given 12
minutes to stop and make
whatever changes they
feel their car needs. If
they complete these
changes in the 12
minutes, they will start
lap 101 in the same
position as they
finished lap 100. If
they take longer than
the allotted 12 minutes,
they will start at the
rear of the field. This
introduces a new element
to the teams and causes
them to formulate a new
strategy for this event.
The EIT Race Radios
Rookie of the Year race,
Russell Smith, Lakeside,
NS holds a 66-point lead
over Bobby Neilsen,
Vernon River, PE. All
five of the full time
rookies sit in 17th
to 23rd place
in the point standings.
A slip by any could
quickly change the order
in the standings.
