(Halifax, NS, May 20, 2015) The Parts for Trucks Pro Stock Tour will open its 15th season of stock car racing this Saturday, May 23rd at Scotia Speedworld with the Lucas Oil 100. The season opener will launch the 12-race schedule that will take the Tour to five Maritime markets throughout the summer. Qualifying for the Lucas Oil 100 gets underway at 3:10 PM with racing slated for 4:00 PM. Grandstands gates open at 1:00 PM.<\/p>\n

A trio of past series champions stood on top of the podium following the 2014 season opener. Shawn Turple (Enfield, NS) who has won two Tour titles (2010, \u201912) was the victor a year ago. John Flemming (Halifax, NS) finished second en route to his fifth series championship (2002 \u201803, \u201906, \u201913, \u201814). Shawn Tucker, (Fredericton, NB) a three-time series champion, (2004, \u201907, \u201910) rounded out the podium at this event last year. Tucker has scaled back from full-time competition for the upcoming season.
