Thorold, Ontario (March 7) – With Merrittville Speedway’s 2008 Baron Roofing Spring Sizzler 100 50 Days away and counting down – it can only mean that the first full 5 Division DIRT Weekly Series Race Card of the 57th Season is just 57th Days away as well.
New cars … new drivers … new faces throughout the grandstand and pit areas – and a new event sponsor to Merrittville Speedway when all 5 Dirt Weekly Racing Series Divisions overflow the pit area – Saturday May 3rd.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Global Warranty Corporation,” revealed (Merrittville GM) Erica Bicknell, “not only to our first full card of the year … but to Kendrick Racing as well … it’s says a lot about our sport for a company of their stature to have made such an impact so quickly.”
After an impressive season in the Billy Brooks owned #15J last season, Tim Jones has reunited with the family-owned Kendrick Race Team for a Three Car effort that also includes Scott George and 2008 rookie Todd Kendrick and all three are hoping to make an impression in the Baron Roofing Spring Sizzler 100 April 26th prior to their new sponsor’s event.
Todd Kendrick is hoping to put last season behind him with the move to the L. St. Amand Enterprises 358 Modifieds.
As a Lucas Oil Open Wheel Lite competitor in 2006 – the London firefighter scored his first career feature win. Looking to expand on that last season – much of the year was lost after injury kept him out of the driver’s seat.
Kendrick is part of the team owned by his family – his brother Darren and their father Wayne.
“We’ve been trying to put the pieces together for a few seasons,” relates Kendrick, adding, “thanks to Global Warranty Corporation and Strickland Automart … for all they have done.”
Global Warranty Corporation is the leading North American independent warranty provider with more than 4000 dealers and a million customers across Canada and several US States – a market that is expanding.
Global Warranty Corporation meets and exceeds the needs of today’s drivers by providing the ULTIMATE in DRIVING PROTECTION for both Automotive and RV owners.
