(April 11th, 2024) – 2024 will see a new name a top the windshield for one of the largest classes in the Maritimes. Changing hands Thrift shop will be the title sponsor for the 2024 season of the SharpShooter division.

Long time supporters of the class in other ways, store owner Jennifer Harnish is excited to shine the spotlight on her local Fredericton store, through motorsports!

“We’re very excited to be part of Speedway 660 as a Class sponsor” Said Jennifer Harnish, owner of Changing hands Thrift shop “This class has meant a lot to me and my family over the last few years and we all look forward to helping build on what’s already an amazing division.”

With the new title Sponsor of the division, Drivers are excited to get going for a new season!

Last year’s division Champion Darren Wilcox will look to defend that title against a strong contingent of veteran and rookie competitors.

In addition to the new title sponsor for the division, teams and drivers can expect a new way to line up for heats and features in 2024. Speedway 660 Management is moving away from the “random draw” system on a weekly basis and towards an average finishing position based system to set the line ups for the races. This will ensure fans see the best competition possible each and every race day! Drivers with the best average finishing position will start towards the back of the field, while the drivers with the worst average finish will start towards the front.

“We felt making this change will increase the level of competition in all the classes” said Brent Roy of Speedway 660. “This is really a return to ‘the good old days’ that people talk about a lot. If you finished well, you started deeper in the field. On top of making the show better for the fans, this will help the teams and drivers improve their race craft by working through the fields each week.”

Action on the Geary oval is set to kick off with the Riverview Ford Lincoln Season Opener on May 18^th at 4pm. Fans are encouraged to follow the latest news about Speedway 660 via Facebook and Instagram, as well as their website www.speedway660.com
