By Craig Revelle - Finish Line Web Design - March 27, 2012

With the 2013 racing season just three weeks away, Chapman’s Can Am Motorsports Park accepted the request from several local Mod Lite racers that wanted to come back to the track on a limited basis this season. Can Am had originally made the decision to drop the class from it’s weekly lineup, but with several open dates from another area track, the drivers were looking for a place to race to fill their remaining schedule for the season.

The SUNY Canton Mod Lites will be at Can Am on May 3^rd, May 10^th, June 7^th, August 9^th, August 23^rd, September 6^th and September 13^th. Each race will pay $300 to win, providing we get a good car count at these events.

“Several Mod Lite racers approached us about having them at Can Am on a limited schedule and we were happy to work with them”, says track General Manager Chip Burdick. “Hopefully we will get a good field each time they are there and put on a good race for our fans”.

By Craig Revelle - Finish Line Web Design - March 27, 2012

The 2013 racing season is right around the corner at Chapman’s Can Am Motorsports, and the annual Salmon Run Mall Car Show will help kick off the new campaign. For the past several years the mall has opened their doors to Chapman’s Can Am Motorsports Park and the drivers to showcase their new paint schemes and new cars for the coming season, which has generally been the unofficial kickoff to the new season, which starts just a week later as the track opens for open practice, followed by the season opener the following Friday night, April 19^th.

The cars will enter the mall at 4pm this coming Sunday night, March 31st, and will be showcased the entire week. Track officials will be on hand to answer questions, hand out 2013 schedule cards and help promote the Speedway and what they have to offer for the upcoming year.

“We always look forward to this show at the Salmon Run Mall”, says Can Am General Manager Chip Burdick. “We get the avid race fans that come through the mall to check out the new cars, but we also get a lot of people that have no idea what we are all about, and its great to get a chance to talk to them, and introduce them to our sport”.

Can Am will make final preparations for the 2013 Season right after that Salmon Run Mall Car Show. The track plans to open up on Saturday April 13^th and Sunday April 14^th with practice for all divisions. The 2013 season opener will get underway on Friday, April 19^th with a 35 lap, $1000 to win event for the Sportsman division, a $600 to win Street Stock vs. Pro Stock Challenge event, plus a full show of Pro Late Models, Thunder Cars and the Novice Sportsman division.

“We have a lot of great events in store for 2013. We have some big races planned, including some big money events for the Sportsman class, and we have the Monster Trucks returning for the second year in a row”, adds Burdick. “We are all looking forward to getting the season underway”.
