Halifax, NS (September 6, 2006) – The CARQUEST Pro Stock Tour is at 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 from May to September.

Gordie Ryan, Wellington, NS and Shawn Tucker, Fredericton, NB 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.

The Parts For Trucks 200 is also the last round of the four race Plasti-Kote Challenge, a series within the CARQUEST Pro Stock Tour. The top point getter in the four Parts For Trucks races will win the Plasti-Kote Challenge and its cash award. Ryan takes a 5-point lead over Flemming into Saturday’s event.
