Speedway 660 and Petty International Raceway, two race tracks in New Brunswick, Canada, have banded together to form a Late Model sportsman challenge series.

The four-race Petty International Raceway and Speedway 660 Sportsman Challenge presented by Lonnie Sommerville Racing begins Saturday, June 13, at Petty International Raceway in River Glade.

Each race will include a 100-lap feature, paying the winner a minimum of $1,250, with the finale paying $2,000 to win. In addition, each competitor that hauls their car from their home track will receive a $100 bonus in tow money.

The Petty International Raceway and Speedway 660 Sportsman Challenge presented by Lonnie Sommerville Racing champion will also receive an AR Bodies body and installation courtesy of Lonnie Sommerville Racing. Hoosier Racing Tire will be giving one team—chosen at random—a set of tires at each of the four events.

“We’re very excited to see these two tracks work closely together to put this Series together,” Speedway 660’s Max Roy said. “Between Speedway 660, Petty International Raceway and Lonnie Sommerville Racing, it shows the racers and the fans that we are all committed to helping grow the sport of stock car racing in the Maritimes.”

“Petty Raceway is excited to be teaming up with Speedway 660 to offer the racers and fans this new event in 2020,” Petty International Raceway’s Ellen Smith said. “We are very pleased to have been able to work with Max and Brent Roy to come up with a Sportsman rule package to make this event a possibility for this year and into the future.”
