Thorold, Ontario (March 17) – Merrittville Speedway would like to wish all it’s Irish fans and race teams … and everyone else in green today - a Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

It can only mean that we will be seeing green – Starter Doug Leonard’s Green Flag as in just 40 days – the Baron Roofing Spring Sizzler 100 will feature a 40 lap support event for the Original Pizza Logs Sportsman Division.

When you toss in a 100 lap DIRTcar 358 Modified Super DIRT Series Event and a 25 lap Street Stock Open featuring the Hoosier Stocks – it is shaping up to be the biggest Season Opener in the Thorold track’s 57 year history.

“Baron is set to help us raise the roof on the new season in a very special way,” reveals Bicknell, “thanks to Terry Keagan … it’s going to be so big we’ll also have to open some doors and windows too.”

Baron Roofing has recently expanded to become Baron Roofing Windows and Doors - from roofing and siding to windows and doors the name Baron has become A Name You Can Trust.

As a major contractor for home improvements in the Niagara Region - the Baron reputation for quality, service and trust has become second to none in the industry.

Baron has partnered with some of the best known manufacturers of windows and doors in order to bring the best quality product of windows and doors to their customers as a compliment to the name it has established for itself as a leading roofing company.

Baron’s new showroom is now open and fully stocked for viewing. Visit their professional sales staff at 9 Seapark Drive in St. Catharines .

During the Annual Pen Centre Race Car Show – in just two weeks time – Brad Rouse’s Baron Roofing Windows and Doors #18R Sportsmen will be one of the 20 Dirt Weekly Racing Series Race Cars on display.

Prior to the April 26th Spring Sizzler and the Sportsmen 40 lap Special – we will learn more about Brad Rouse – his racing and the family-owned Baron Roofing Windows and Doors.

Southern Ontario and Western New York Sportsman Teams are sure to check into Merrittville’s Pit Area – looking to get a handle on the d-shaped dirt showplace perhaps in perhaps for the Lucas Oil Shootout Event later on in the summer – not to mention – the 2008 Season Finale and the annual Sportsmen Super DIRTcar Event in September.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day once again – and remember to celebrate the day responsibly!
