BROCKVILLE: Big Block Sunday Closes Out Fall Nationals

BROCKVILLE, ON - The 2010 racing season will come to a close Sunday afternoon at Brockville Ontario Speedway with an action packed triple header.  Big Block Sunday on October 17th will feature the Super DIRT Series for Big Block Modifieds, the final event of the Super DIRT Series for Sportsman and the Vintage Cars as part of the second annual Global Warranty DIRTcar Northeast Fall Nationals.

All eyes will be on the 50 lap Sportsman main event as the Series young gun goes toe to toe, with Brockville's own teenage phenom in a battle of number 83's.  17 year old Dylan Evoy has followed nicely in the tire tracks of Matt Billings as he mounted a charge in August to capture the track sportsman crown.  Meanwhile young Tim Sears Jr, has turned Fulton Speedway success into international acclaim.  Sears takes a 99 point lead into the finale. Which 83 will be number one on this afternoon is the question.

The Big Blocks distinctive roar will be heard for the first time as part of the Fall Nationals.  Matt Sheppard of Waterloo, NY has been the man to beat most of the season on the tour.  Super Matt has built himself a sizeable points lead as the tour goes onto Charlotte after the Brockville 100 lap stop.

The Vintage class continues to grow each year through the hard work and leadership of track photographer Henry Hannewyk.  More than 20 cars are expected from points near and far to compete as part of Big Block Sunday. 

Sunday kicks off with an autograph session under the grandstands at 10:30 am.  Hot laps for all three divisions begins at 12 noon, followed by time trials for both Sportsman and Modifieds.  The first green flag for qualifying heats will fly at 2 pm.
