2012! Cornwall, Ont – Thursday, December 8, 2011 –Martin Bélanger
Something special will occur at the Cornwall Motor Speedway in 2012! Promoter Ron Morin was able to conclude a deal with the World Racing Group and the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars will make their first ever visit to Cornwall on Sunday, July 29, 2012. It will be a night to remember as all the biggest stars on DIRT will be in the pits. Part of a 4-night visit in Canada which includes Autodrome Granby, Autodrome Drummond, Cornwall and then Oshweken Speedway, will attract all the big names of the World of Outlaws Tour. Legends such as Steve Kinser, Joey Saldana will be joined by defending WOO champion, Jason Meyers, former champ, Donny Schatz, Paul McMahan, Craig Dollansky, Jason Sides, Lucas Wolfe, Chad Kemenah and many others. With perfect track conditions the track record could be shattered as Jared Zimbardi holds the record with 10.9 seconds with a 360 powered engine sprint.

Along with the World of Outlaws, the Lightning Sprint Group will be back for a second try in 2012, their initial trip was cancelled due to weather conditions. We can expect a field of 30 cars as several drivers of that tour are really pumped about racing at Cornwall. A support class will also be added to this memorable evening in Eastern Ontario. Morin and his team are currently working in finalizing the 2012 schedule that will include the visit of the Super DIRTcar Big-Block Series, the return of the popular Canadian Nationals and other exciting evenings.
