DIRTcar: SEF 200 Champ Canadian Stewart Friesen on Raceline Radio

Weedsport, NY – October 19, 2010 – Super DIRTcar Series SEF Small Engine Fuels 200 Presented by Ferris/Snapper/Simplicity winner Stewart Friesen takes another parade lap around his homeland when he is the feature interview the week of October 24 across the Raceline Radio Network in Canada.

Friesen, 27, joins host Erik Tomas “live” Sunday, Oct. 24 on the Raceline Radio Network with the one-hour session beginning at 8 p.m. EST from Network flagship AM 900 CHML Hamilton, then on the balance of the Network's 20 stations including Toronto’s The FAN 590: www.fan590.com, Monday night and throughout the week. Boasting over 450,000 listeners every week, Raceline Radio can be heard live online while a podcast of the show will also be posted for “on-demand” listening afterwards.

Next week’s segment will focus on Friesen’s recent rise to star-status in the world of dirt track racing, culminating with him becoming the first Canadian driver in the 39-year history of Super DIRT Week to capture the nation’s premier Big-Block Modified event on the Syracuse Mile. The third-generation pilot from Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont. will discuss navigating around the storied Salt City oval for 132 laps on one tank of fuel and the same tires, his sudden ascent to the top of the ranks that encompasses a tantamount three-car effort, and reveal plans for the upcoming 4th Annual Lowes Foods World Finals at The Dirt Track at Charlotte on Nov. 4-6.

Carried coast-to-coast in Canada on 20 stations, including major markets Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Halifax, Raceline Radio is Canada’s first and only nationally syndicated motorsport radio show, with 2010 marking its 18th consecutive season on air.
