DARTMOUTH DODGE 200 TO DECIDE 2014 PRO STOCK TOUR CHAMPION<\/strong><\/p>\n

(Halifax, NS, September 10, 2014) The Parts for Trucks Pro Stock Tour will close out another sensational season this Saturday at Scotia Speedworld with the Dartmouth Dodge 200. After 11 events in five cities, over 40 competitors and 1,600 feature laps, it all comes down to the final 200 circuits to decide who will be crowned the 2014 Parts for Trucks Pro Stock Tour Champion \u2013 and who will cash the $10,000.00 cheque! Qualifying for the Dartmouth Dodge 200 gets underway at 3:10 PM with the Atlantic Tiltload Time Trials followed by championship racing set for 4:00 PM. Grandstand gates open at 1:00 PM.
\n<\/p>\n

Four-time series champion John Flemming (Halifax, NS) enters the Parts for Trucks Pro Stock Tour Season Finale Dartmouth Dodge 200 with a 44 point lead over Jonathan Hicken (Brudenell, PE) and 45 points up on three-time series champ Shawn Tucker (Fredericton, NB). Flemming will need to finish 17th or better in order to take home his second consecutive and fifth Parts for Trucks Pro Stock Tour Championship!<\/p>\n

The Parts for Trucks $50,000 points fund will be on the minds of many drivers entering Saturday\u2019s finale. Although the championship may be out of reach for those outside the top three, there is still a lot of cash on the line for other competitors who will be looking to improve or secure their year-end standings. The battle for the top five in championship points will be another great story line to watch. Currently Cole Butcher (Porter\u2019s Lake, NS) sits in fourth, Shawn Turple (Enfield, NS) fifth and Dylan Blenkhorn (Truro, NS) sixth. Just 11 points separate these three fierce competitors. <\/p>\n

Sarah McKay (Quispamsis, NB) will clinch the Exide Batteries Rookie of the Year title on Saturday at the Dartmouth Dodge 200. McKay came into the series this season as a relative unknown, but has proven she has the fortitude and talent to compete with some of the best Canada has to offer in short track racing.<\/p>\n

The series continues to break gender barriers with Emily Meehan (Rawdon, NS) set to make her Pro Stock Tour debut at the Dartmouth Dodge 200. Meehan, a multiple-time Bandolero and Legend feature winner at Scotia Speedworld, will pilot the No. 75 Chevrolet, owned by Maritime Motorsports Hall of Famer Stephen Henderson. Meehan will be a teammate to two-time series champion and defending Dartmouth Dodge 200 winner Shawn Turple.<\/p>\n

Hot off the fifth NASCAR Canadian Tire Series victory of his career last weekend, Jason Hathaway (Dutton, ON) will make his second career start on the Parts for Trucks Pro Stock Tour Saturday. Hathaway will drive the No.3 entry out of the Nova Racing stable and will be a teammate to Donald Chisholm (Antigonish, NS) and the No. 89 car.<\/p>\n

The Dartmouth Dodge Sportsman will take centre stage Saturday to determine their champion in a 50-lap feature prior to the Dartmouth Dodge 200. It\u2019s going to be a dramatic finish to the 2014 Sportsman season with just two points separating the top three drivers. Reigning division champ Darren Wallage (Oakfield, NS) enters the race tied for first with Harry Ross White (Noel Road) and just two points up on third place DJ Casey (Prospect Road). We also can\u2019t rule out 2012 division champion Aaron Boutilier (Porter\u2019s Lake) who is currently fourth, 32 points behind the leaders. This one is going to come down to the wire and should be a thrilling race!<\/p>\n
